after the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), an option under the Aramark Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan; and 
 WHEREAS, the Optionee is, in connection with the
execution of this Agreement, to become a party to the Stockholders Agreement (as such term is defined in the Plan). 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the promises and of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. The Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in their entirety. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of the Agreement shall control. A copy of the Plan has been provided to the Optionee. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan or the Stockholders
Agreement, as the case may be. 
 Section 2. Option; Option Price. Effective on the Grant Date, on the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, at the Option Price of

 Section 3. Term. The term of the Option (the “Option Term”) shall commence on the
Grant Date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless the Option shall have sooner been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, Article V of the Plan) or this Agreement.

 Section 4. Vesting. Subject to the Optionee’s not having a Termination of Relationship and except as otherwise set forth in
Section 7, the Options shall become non-forfeitable and exercisable (any Options that shall have become non-forfeitable and exercisable pursuant to Section 4, the “Vested Options”) according to the following
provisions: 
 (a) Time-Based Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Time-Based Options shall become Vested Options on each of the first four anniversaries of the
Closing Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(a)(i), in the event of (A) a Change of Control, each outstanding Time-Based Option which has not
theretofore become a Vested Option pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall become a Vested Option concurrently with consummation of such event, and (B) a Termination of Relationship as a result of the Optionee’s death, Disability, or
Retirement (each, a “Special Termination”), the installment of Time-Based Options scheduled to vest during the 12-month period immediately following such Special Termination shall become Vested Options, and the remaining Time-Based
Options which are not then Vested Options shall be forfeited. 
 (b) Performance-Based Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options on each Vesting Date, subject to the
Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date and the achievement of the applicable EBIT performance target for the applicable fiscal year of the Company ending immediately prior to the applicable Vesting
Date (each such fiscal year, a “Fiscal Year”, and each such EBIT performance target, an “EBIT Target”, all as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement). 
 (ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(b)(i), but, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(ii)(E) below, subject to the
Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting event: 
 (A) in the event that the EBIT
Target is not achieved for any particular Fiscal Year set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (other than the 2010 Fiscal Year) (any such Fiscal Year, a “Missed Year”), if the cumulative EBIT earned as of the end of any subsequent
Fiscal Year equals or exceeds the Cumulative EBIT Target (as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement) for such subsequent Fiscal Year (any such Fiscal Year, a “Catch-up Year”), then all installments of Performance-Based Options
that did not become vested in respect of any Missed Year will nevertheless become Vested Options on the same date that the installment of Performance-Based Options that otherwise vests 

  

 2 

 
in respect of such Catch-up Year pursuant to this Section 4(b) (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); 
 (B) upon the consummation of a Return-Based Vesting Event (as defined below), all then-unvested Performance-Based Options shall become
Vested Options concurrently with the consummation of such event; 
 (C) upon the consummation of a Qualified Partial Liquidity
Event (as defined below), a portion of the then-unvested Performance-Based Options (in the order set forth below) shall become Vested Options concurrently with the consummation of such event, such that the total percentage of Performance-Based
Options that have become Vested Options immediately after the consummation of such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event shall, after taking into account any Performance-Based Options that had become Vested Options pursuant to any other provision of
Section 4(b) prior to such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event, be equal to the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage (as defined below) (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); 
 (D) upon the occurrence, prior to the conclusion of the Company’s 2010 Fiscal Year, of a Change of Control that is not a Return-Based
Vesting Event, a percentage of the then-unvested Performance-Based Options which would have been eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year during which the Change in Control occurs and those eligible for any subsequent
Fiscal Years, equal to (x) 100% multiplied by (y) a quotient, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Performance-Based Options that previously became Vested Options prior to the Fiscal Year in which such Change of Control
occurs, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Performance-Based Options that were eligible to become Vested Options if all EBIT Targets were achieved prior to the Fiscal Year during with the Change in Control occurs, shall become
Vested Options concurrently with consummation of such a Change of Control (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); and 
 (E) in the event of a Special Termination, all installments of unvested Performance-Based Options that would have vested during the 12-month period immediately following such Special Termination (the “Special Termination Vesting
Period”) in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 4(b) if no such termination had occurred during such period (including in the event that any such installments would have vested based on (x) the achievement of the
Cumulative EBIT Target for the Fiscal Year immediately following the Fiscal Year in which the Special Termination occurs in accordance with Section 4(b)(ii)(A), or (y) the occurrence during the Special Termination Vesting Period of a
Return-Based Vesting Event, a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event or a Change of Control that is not a Return-Based Vesting Event, in accordance with Section 4(b)(ii)(B), Section 4(b)(ii)(C), or Section 4(b)(ii)(D), respectively) shall
become Vested Options on the applicable Vesting Date(s) that occur during the Special Termination Vesting Period (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof). 
 For purposes of Section 4(b)(ii)(C) above, the then-unvested Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options in the manner set forth therein, in the following order, to the extent 

  

 3 

 
applicable: first, any then-unvested Performance-Based Options from any prior Missed Years (beginning with the earliest Missed Year and each subsequent
Missed Year); second, the then-unvested Performance-Based Options eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year in which the Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs; and third, any then-unvested Performance-Based Options
eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year immediately subsequent to the Fiscal Year in which the Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs and each subsequent Fiscal Year. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided above with respect to a Special Termination, upon a Termination of Relationship for any reason, the
unvested portion of the Option (i.e., that portion which does not constitute Vested Options) shall terminate and cease to be outstanding on the date the Termination of Relationship occurs and shall no longer be eligible to become Vested
Options, provided, however, that if upon the date the Termination of Relationship occurs, the Committee is unable to determine if the EBIT Target for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the year in which the Termination of Relationship occurs has
been met, any unvested portion of the Option that could vest based upon such determination shall not terminate until such determination is made (and shall vest if the applicable EBIT Target is achieved in accordance with Section 4(6)(ii)
above)). 
 (d) Certain Definitions. 
 (i) A “Return-Based Vesting Event” shall be deemed to occur upon the achievement of either of the following performance
goals: (x) on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) is equal to or exceeds 22% or (y) the Sponsor Stockholders have, prior
to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, received a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the Sponsor Investment. 
 (ii) A “Qualified Partial Liquidity Event” shall mean any disposition, whether in an IPO or other public offering, or any
sale or other private transaction to any person or entity, of a portion of the Sponsor Investment (including any Change of Control, transfer from one Investor Group to another Investor Group, or LP Transfer (as defined below), but excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, a Spin-off, unless and until such shares are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities), or a recapitalization, resulting in (x) on or after the third anniversary
of the Grant Date, the achievement by the Sponsor Stockholders of a Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) that would equal or exceed 22%, or (y) prior to the third anniversary of
the Grant Date, the receipt of a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the Sponsor Investment, in either case, when measured with respect to such
disposed or otherwise realized upon portion (and all previously liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized (in cash or marketable securities, taking into account Section 4(d)(vi)) upon portions) of the Sponsor Investment. 
  

 4 

 (iii) The “Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage” shall equal the
percentage of the Sponsor Investment liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized upon in a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event; provided that, if immediately following such event, the Sponsor Stockholders have liquidated, disposed of or
otherwise realized upon 80% or more of the Sponsor Investment, then the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage shall equal 100%. 
 (iv) “Sponsor IRR” means the pretax compounded annual internal rate of return realized by the Sponsor Stockholders on the Sponsor Investment, based on the aggregate amount invested by the Sponsor
Stockholders for all Sponsor Investment and the aggregate value and amount of cash and liquid or marketable debt or equity securities (excluding securities of the Company and, in the event of a Spin-off, securities of a Subsidiary
(“Subsidiary Stock”), unless and until such shares are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities) actually received by the Sponsor Stockholders or in respect of all
Sponsor Investment, assuming all Sponsor Investment were purchased by one Person and were held continuously by such Person. The Sponsor IRR shall be determined based on the actual time of each Sponsor Investment and the actual cash and liquid or
marketable debt or equity securities received (in each case, measured at the time of receipt) by the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all Sponsor Investment and including, as a return on each Sponsor Investment, any cash dividends, cash
distributions or cash sales by the Company or any Affiliate in respect of such Sponsor Investment during such period, any transaction fees received in connection with the Transaction, and, in the event of any distribution of Shares by a Sponsor
Stockholder to its general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders (in each such case, other than a distribution by a Sponsor Stockholder to another member of such Sponsor Stockholder’s Investor Group) in accordance with such
Sponsor Stockholder’s governing documents (an “LP Transfer”), the Fair Market Value of such Shares on such distribution date (the “LP Transfer Value”), but excluding any amounts payable to the Sponsor
Stockholders as expense reimbursements and indemnification payments. 
 (v) “Sponsor Return” shall mean, on
an aggregate basis, the value and amount of cash and liquid or marketable equity or debt securities (excluding securities of the Company or, in the event of a Spin-off, Subsidiary Stock, unless and until such Subsidiary Stock are themselves disposed
of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities) actually received by the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all Sponsor Investment, assuming all Sponsor Investment were purchased by one Person and were held
continuously by such Person. The Sponsor Return shall be determined based on the actual time of each Sponsor Investment and actual cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities received (in each case, measured at the time of receipt) by
the Sponsor Stockholders in respect of all Sponsor Investment and including, as a return on each Sponsor Investment, any cash dividends, cash distributions, cash sales made by the Company or any Affiliate in respect of such Sponsor Investment during
such period, any transaction fees received in connection with the Transaction, and, in the event of an LP Transfer, the LP Transfer Value, but excluding any amounts payable to the Sponsor Stockholders as expense reimbursements and
indemnification payments. 
  

 5 

 (vi) In the event of a Special Termination, the term “Special Termination Sponsor
IRR” shall have the same meaning as “Sponsor IRR”, except that the Sponsor IRR shall also be determined by including in such calculation the following, as of the date of such termination: (x) if no IPO has occurred at such
time, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and the fair market value (determined in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Fair Market Value is determined under the Plan) of any Subsidiary Stock then held by the Sponsor Stockholders;
or (y) following an IPO, the fair market value of each of the Common Stock and any Subsidiary Stock then held by the Sponsor Stockholders, calculated based on the average trading price of the applicable stock over the 30 trading-day period
prior to the applicable potential Vesting Date (the amounts in clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the “Special Termination Valuations”); and the term “Special Termination Sponsor Return” shall have the same
meaning as “Sponsor Return”, except that the Sponsor Return shall also be determined by including in such calculation the Special Termination Valuations. 
 All decisions by the Committee with respect to any calculations pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made in good faith after consultation with senior management and shall be final and binding on the Optionee absent manifest error by
the Committee. 
 Section 5. Restriction on Transfer/ Stockholders Agreement. The Option may not be transferred, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Optionee, except (i) if permitted by the Board or the Committee, (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (iii) pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures
approved by the Company. The Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of Options hereunder will be subject to the Stockholders Agreement. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement shall be null and void and without effect. 
 Section 6. Optionee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in their sole discretion, to terminate the Optionee’s employment or to increase or decrease the Optionee’s
compensation at any time. 
 Section 7. Termination. The Option shall automatically terminate and shall become null and void, be
unexercisable and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest of: 
 (a) so long as the Optionee remains employed by
the Company or one of its Affiliates, the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date; 
 (b) in the case of a Termination of
Relationship due to a Special Termination, (i) with respect to any Time-Based Options and Performance-Based Options that are vested as of the Termination of Relationship, the first anniversary of the Termination of Relationship, and
(ii) with respect to any Performance-Based Option that becomes a Vested Option pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(E), the later of the first anniversary of the Termination of Relationship and the 90th day 

  

 6 

 
following the last Vesting Date (if any) that occurs during the Special Termination Vesting Period; 
 (c) in the case of a Termination of Relationship other than (x) for Cause or (y) due to a Special Termination, the
90th day following the Termination of Relationship; and 
 (d) the day of the Termination of Relationship in the case of a Termination of Relationship for Cause. 
 Section 8. Securities Law Representations. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option and the Shares are not being registered under the Securities
Act, based, in part, on either (i) reliance upon an exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact that the Optionee is an “accredited investor”
(as defined under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from
time to time. The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby agrees that the Optionee shall make such representations as may be required to be made by the Optionee upon any acquisition of Shares hereunder as set forth in the Stockholders
Agreement, as such representations shall be required to be made at such time. The Optionee further represents the following, as of the date hereof: 
  

	 	•	 	The Optionee represents and warrants that (i) such party has full legal power, authority and right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement,
and (ii) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. 

  

	 	•	 	The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Option and the restrictions imposed on any Shares
purchased upon exercise of the Option. 

  

	 	•	 	The Optionee is aware that the Option may be of no practical value, that any value it may have depends on its vesting and exercisability as well as an increase in the Fair Market
Value of the underlying Shares to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment in common shares of a closely held corporation such as the Company is non-marketable, non-transferable and could require capital to be invested for an
indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss. 

  

	 	•	 	The Optionee has read and understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement. 

  

	 	•	 	The Optionee has not relied upon any oral representation made to the Optionee relating to the Option or the purchase of the Shares on exercise of the Option or upon information
presented in any meeting or material relating to the Option or the Shares. 

  

 7 

	 	•	 	The Optionee understands and acknowledges that, if and when the Optionee exercises the Option, (a) any certificate evidencing the Shares (or evidencing any other securities
issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws, and
(b) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or under the Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the Company has no obligation to register the Shares or file
any registration statement under federal or state securities laws. 

 Section 9. Designation of Beneficiary. The
Optionee may appoint any individual or legal entity in writing as the Optionee’s beneficiary to receive any Option (to the extent not previously terminated or forfeited) under this Agreement upon the Optionee’s death or Disability. The
Optionee may revoke the Optionee’s designation of a beneficiary at any time and appoint a new beneficiary in writing. To be effective, the Optionee must complete the designation of a beneficiary or revocation of a beneficiary by written notice
to the Company under Section 11 of this Agreement before the date of the Optionee’s death. In the absence of a beneficiary designation, the legal representative of the Optionee’s estate shall be deemed the beneficiary.

 Section 10. Condition Precedent. If the Transaction is not consummated, the Company will not grant the Optionee the Option and this
Agreement shall become null and void. 
 Section 11. Notices. All notices, claims, certifications, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and delivered if personally delivered or if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier, by telecopy, email or by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 If to the Optionee, to him at the address set forth on the signature page hereto; or to such other address as the party
to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other party in writing in accordance herewith. Any such notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received (a) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such
delivery (or if such date is not a business day, on the next business day after the date of delivery), (b) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier, on the next business day after the date sent, (c) in the case of telecopy
transmission, when received (or if not sent on a business day, on the next business day after the date sent), and (d) in the case of mailing, on the third business day following that on which the piece of mail containing such communication is
posted. 
 The Company shall, reasonably promptly upon the occurrence of any vesting pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(E) above, provide
notice to the Optionee of such vesting (it being understood that a failure to so provide such notice shall not result in an extension of the applicable Option exercise period, but shall constitute a breach of this Agreement). 
 Section 12. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and shall not operate
or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 
 Section 13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER
THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT
OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 
 Section 14. Withholding. As a condition to
exercising this Option in whole or in part, the Optionee will pay, or make provisions satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld in connection with such exercise in a manner that is set
forth in Section 5.6 of the Plan. 
 Section 15. Adjustment to Option; Registration of Shares. In the event of any event
described in Article VII of the Plan occurring after the Grant Date, the adjustment provisions (including cash payments) as provided for under Article VII of the Plan shall apply. The Company shall, concurrently with the closing of a Public
Offering, register all Shares subject to an Option by filing a Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. 
 Section 16.
Section 409A of the Code. If any term, distribution or settlement of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company (including by the Committee) pursuant to the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, would subject the Optionee to tax
under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Optionee for any taxes, interest and penalties the Optionee may incur under Section 409A of the Code as a result thereof, such that on a net-after-tax basis,
the Optionee shall not be liable for any such taxes, interest or 

  

 9 

 
penalties, or for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed upon the Company’s provision of such indemnity. The Company and the Optionee shall cooperate
in good faith, and consult with tax counsel to the Company, to restructure the Option and this Agreement (which may require the provision of an alternative payment or benefit, but which shall not convey an economic benefit to the Optionee that is
diminished in value to the Optionee other than in a de minimis manner) in a manner that will cause the Optionee to not be subject to such taxes, interest and penalties in respect of the Option and this Agreement (or any such restructured
arrangement). 
 Section 17. Modification of Rights; Entire Agreement. The Optionee’s rights under this Agreement and the Plan
may be modified only to the extent expressly provided under this Agreement or under Article X or Article XIV of the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan (and the other writings referred to herein, including the Stockholders Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior written or oral negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect
thereto. 
 Section 18. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly
drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 19. Waiver of Jury Trial; Legal Fees. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or
proceeding arising hereunder. In the event of any dispute regarding any term of this Option, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Optionee for all legal fees and expenses the Optionee incurs in connection with such dispute if the Optionee
prevails in such dispute on a substantial portion of the claims under such dispute. 
 Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement as
of the date first written above.

 EBIT shall mean for any Fiscal Year, net income increased by (i) net interest expense and (ii) the
provision for income taxes; all determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) consistently applied on a consolidated basis. For this purpose EBIT shall: 
  

	a)	Exclude any extraordinary gains or losses, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, income or loss from disposed or discontinued operations and any gains or losses on
disposed or discontinued operations, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. 

  

	b)	Exclude any gain or loss greater than $2 million attributable to asset dispositions, contract terminations and similar items, provided that losses on contract terminations and asset
dispositions in connection with client contract terminations shall be limited in any given Fiscal Year to $5 million. 

  

	c)	Exclude any increase in amortization or depreciation resulting from the application of purchase accounting to the Transaction, including the current amortization of existing
acquired intangibles. 

  

	d)	Exclude any gain or loss from the early extinguishment of indebtedness including any hedging obligations or other derivative instrument. 

  

	e)	Exclude any impairment charge or similar asset write off required by GAAP. 

  

	f)	Exclude any non cash compensation expense resulting from the application of SFAS No. 123R or similar accounting requirements. 

  

	g)	Exclude any expenses or charges related to any equity offering, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization, refinancing or similar transaction, including the Transaction.

  

	h)	Exclude any transaction, management, monitoring, consulting, advisory and related fees and expenses paid or payable to the Sponsor Stockholders. 

  

	i)	Exclude the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates from such rates used in the calculation of the EBIT Targets. 

  

 12 

 The final EBIT calculation for any Fiscal Year will be subject to review and approval by the Committee. 
 The EBIT Targets shall be adjusted for acquisitions as follows: 
  

	 	a)	For acquisitions having purchase consideration of less than $20 million each, there shall be no adjustment until the aggregate consideration for all such acquisitions exceeds $20
million in any Fiscal Year and then the EBIT Targets shall be adjusted to the extent the consideration for all such acquisitions exceeds $20 million. The amount of the adjustment shall be based on the last twelve months earnings of the acquired
business, provided however, that the last twelve months earnings shall be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the sustainable underlying profitability of the acquired business. If the purchase consideration for all such acquisitions is less than $20
million in any Fiscal Year, the amount by which $20 million exceeds such aggregate consideration shall be carried forward to future Fiscal Years for purposes of making this determination under this sub paragraph a). 

  

	 	b)	For acquisitions having purchase consideration of more than $20 million each, the EBIT Targets shall be adjusted based on the pro forma used to approve the acquisition.

 The EBIT Targets will be adjusted for divestitures of a business by the amount of the last twelve months earnings of the divested business.

 14Form of Agreement to Amend Agreement Relating to Employment

 Exhibit 10.6 
 FORM OF AGREEMENT TO AMEND 
 AGREEMENT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT 
 COMPETITION 
 THIS AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made effective as of January 22, 2007, between ARAMARK CORPORATION (“ARAMARK”) and [NAME] (the “Executive”). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meaning set forth in the ELC Agreement (as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK and Executive are parties to that
certain Agreement Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition (the “ELC Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, Exhibit A to the
ELC Agreement provides for certain payments and benefits to be made to Executive in certain instances upon the termination of Executive’s employment with ARAMARK following a Change of Control; 
 WHEREAS, Congress recently passed new laws regarding the taxation of deferred compensation (the “Deferred Compensation Tax Rules”) under
which certain severance payments and benefits provided for in Exhibit A of the ELC Agreement could be considered to be deferred compensation, and as such, if the deferred compensation is not paid out at certain times following certain rules,
Executive could be subject to tax and penalties that would be in addition to any ordinary income taxes that Executive would otherwise have to pay upon receipt of such compensation; 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the ELC Agreement to avoid the potential imposition of any additional tax under the new Deferred Compensation
Tax Rules on some or all of the severance payments and benefits that Executive might receive in the future (whether under the ELC Agreement itself or Exhibit A attached thereto), and therefore ARAMARK is proposing to amend the ELC Agreement to
include a provision that (1) imposes certain limitations on the timing of payments or benefits provided under the ELC Agreement (and any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement maintained by ARAMARK in which Executive
participates) in an effort to ensure that the payment or provision of any such payments or benefits is made at a time that is permitted under the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules, and (2) if ARAMARK is unable to provide any payments or benefits
to Executive in the manner currently contemplated under the ELC Agreement (or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement maintained by ARAMARK in which Executive participates) without subjecting Executive to an additional tax
under the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules, ARAMARK will provide Executive with the intended payments or benefits in an alternative manner that conveys an equivalent economic benefit to Executive as soon as practicable as may be permitted under the
Deferred Compensation Tax Rules; 
 WHEREAS, in addition, the parties wish to amend the ELC Agreement to provide ARAMARK with the discretion,
in the event of the closing of the transactions contemplated under the ELC Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 8, 2006 among RMK Acquisition Corporation, RMK Finance LLC and ARAMARK (the “Closing”), to (1) accelerate
the time at which Executive might otherwise be entitled to receive, and change the form of, the severance 

 
payments and benefits due under the deferred compensation arrangement under Exhibit A of the ELC Agreement (collectively, the “Change of Control
Payments”), and, in satisfaction thereof, (2) provide Executive with a combination of a lump sum cash payment and a grant of restricted common stock of ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (“Restricted Stock”) at the Closing,
as set forth in more detail below in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, in order to provide for the foregoing actions relating to the Change of
Control Payments in a manner that complies with the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules, Sections 3(a), 3(c), and 3(d) of Exhibit A to Executive’s Agreement, which currently provide Executive with the Change of Control Payments (collectively, the
“Change of Control Provisions”), would need to be terminated by ARAMARK. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Article 6
of the ELC Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new subsections F and G to the existing text thereof: 
  

	 	“F.	In the event that it is reasonably determined by ARAMARK that, as a result of the new deferred compensation tax rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder) (“the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules”), any of the payments or benefits that Employee is entitled to under the terms of this Agreement (or any other nonqualified
deferred compensation plan or arrangement maintained by ARAMARK in which Employee participates) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, as the case may be, without causing Employee to be subject to tax under the
Deferred Compensation Tax Rules, ARAMARK shall, in lieu of providing such payment or benefit when otherwise due under this Agreement (or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement maintained by ARAMARK in which Employee
participates), instead provide such payment or benefit on the first day on which such provision would not result in Employee incurring any tax liability under the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules. In the event that any payments or benefits that
ARAMARK would otherwise be required to provide under this Agreement (or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement maintained by ARAMARK in which Employee participates) cannot be provided in the manner contemplated herein
without subjecting Employee to tax under the Deferred Tax Rules, ARAMARK shall provide such intended payments or benefits to Employee in an alternative manner that conveys an equivalent economic benefit to Employee as soon as practicable as may
otherwise be permitted under the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules. 

  

	 	G.	 Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules, ARAMARK, in its discretion, is permitted to terminate, within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a
“change in control event” (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Tax Rules), the deferred compensation arrangement set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement (which provides for certain payments and benefits upon Employee’s
resignation 

	 	 
for Good Reason (as defined therein) following a Change of Control) and instead provide Employee with all (or less than all) of the payments and benefits
otherwise due thereunder upon such a resignation, all in a manner provided for under the Deferred Compensation Rules.” 

 2. Subject to the occurrence of the Closing, as set forth in Paragraph 4 below, ARAMARK will take the following actions: (i) exercise its new rights under the above Article 6.G of the ELC Agreement and, effective as of the Closing,
terminate all of the Change of Control Provisions, and (ii) in satisfaction of any rights Executive might otherwise have had under the Change of Control Provisions, instead provide Executive with the following: 
  

	 	(a)	the cash severance payments otherwise due to Executive pursuant to Sections 3(a)(1) and 3(a)(2) of Exhibit A to the ELC Agreement, if Executive were to have resigned for Good Reason
immediately after the Closing, will be paid to Executive in a lump sum cash payment upon the Closing; and 

  

	 	(b)	a grant of a number of shares of Restricted Stock having a value, as of the Closing, equal to the amount of cash payments otherwise due to Executive pursuant to Section 3(a)(4)
of Exhibit A to the ELC Agreement, if Executive were to have resigned for Good Reason (the “Severance Payment”), will be made to Executive upon the Closing. 

 For purpose of the grant of Restricted Stock described in clause (b) above, the number of shares of the Restricted Stock, as of the Closing, will be calculated by
dividing (x) the Severance Payment, by (y) $10.00 (the per share purchase price paid for Company common stock in the Closing). The Restricted Stock grant will be evidenced by an award agreement (the “Restricted Stock Award
Agreement”) in the form attached as Annex A to this Agreement. 
 3. The Company and Executive each acknowledge and agree that upon
execution of this Agreement: 
  

	 	(a)	whether or not the Closing occurs, effective on and after the date this Agreement, the provisions of the new Article 6.F of the ELC Agreement will remain in full force and effect;
and 

  

	 	(b)	on and after the date of this Agreement, the ELC Agreement will otherwise continue in full force and effect as amended by this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the effect of
which, among other things, will, effective upon the Closing, terminate any and all rights to payments or benefits Executive may have otherwise had under the Change of Control Provisions. 

 4. Notwithstanding Paragraph 2 or 3 above, however, ARAMARK and Executive each hereby further acknowledge and agree that: 
  

	 	(a)	unless and until the Closing is completed, ARAMARK will not make the payment to Executive provided under Paragraph 2(a) of this Agreement or award Executive the Restricted Stock
provided under Paragraph 2(b) of this Agreement; and 

	 	(b)	if the Closing does not occur, ARAMARK will not exercise the discretion granted to it under the new Article 6.G of the ELC Agreement and provided for under Paragraph 2 of this
Agreement with respect to the Closing, and the Change of Control Provisions will not be terminated thereunder. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be signed as of
the date first above written.
