	(a)	A Letter of Credit is repaid or prepaid if: 

  

	 	(i)	a Borrower provides cash cover for that Letter of Credit; 

  

	 	(ii)	the maximum amount payable under the Letter of Credit is reduced in accordance with its terms; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the relevant Issuing Bank is satisfied that it has no further liability under that Letter of Credit. 

  
 The amount by which a Letter of Credit is repaid or prepaid under sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above is the amount of the
relevant cash cover or reduction. 
  

	(b)	If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of Credit becomes immediately payable under this Agreement, the Borrower that requested the issue of that Letter of
Credit must repay or prepay that amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	(c)	Cash cover is provided for a Letter of Credit if a Borrower pays an amount in the currency of the Letter of Credit to an interest-bearing account with a Finance Party in
London in the name of a Borrower and the following conditions are met: 

  

	 	(i)	the account is with the Facility Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank (if, subject as provided below, the cash cover is to be provided for all the Lenders) or with a Lender (if the
cash cover is to be provided for that Lender); 

  

	 	(ii)	until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Letter of Credit, and other than in respect of withdrawals made in respect of interest on the amount of the cash cover,
withdrawals from the account may only be made to pay the Finance Party for which the cash cover is provided under this Clause; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the relevant Borrower has executed a security document over that account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) or the Finance Party for which
the cash cover is provided, creating a first ranking security interest over that account. 

  
 Where cash cover is to be provided to all the Lenders, a Lender may require its portion of the cash cover to be paid into its account instead of an
account with the Facility Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank. References to cash cover exclude any interest accrued on that cash cover. 
  

	(d)	The outstanding or principal amount of a Letter of Credit at any time is the maximum amount that is or may be payable by the relevant Borrower in respect of that
Letter of Credit at that time. 

  

	7.2	Illegality 

  

	(a)	An Issuing Bank must notify the Original Borrower promptly if it becomes aware that it is unlawful in any jurisdiction for that Issuing Bank to perform any of its obligations under
a Finance Document or to have outstanding any Letter of Credit. 

  

					
	 	 	22	  	2 August 2004

	(b)	After notification under paragraph (a) above: 

  

	 	(i)	the Original Borrower must use all reasonable endeavours to ensure the release of the liability of that Issuing Bank under each outstanding Letter of Credit;

  

	 	(ii)	failing this, each Borrower must repay or prepay the share of each Lender in each Letter of Credit requested by it on the date specified in paragraph (c) below; and

  

	 	(iii)	no further Letters of Credit will be issued by that Issuing Bank for so long as such issuance remains unlawful. 

  

	(c)	The date for repayment or prepayment of a Lender’s share in a Letter of Credit will be the date specified by the relevant Issuing Bank in the notification under paragraph (a)
above and which must not be earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law. 

  

	7.3	Fees in respect of Letters of Credit 

  

	(a)	Each Borrower must pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit requested by it in the manner agreed in a Fee Letter between such Issuing Bank and the
Original Borrower. 

  

	(b)	Each Borrower must pay to the Facility Agent for each Lender a letter of credit fee computed at the same rate as the Margin on the outstanding amount of each Letter of Credit
requested by it for the period from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Maturity Date. This fee will be distributed according to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, adjusted to reflect any assignment or transfer to or by that Lender.

  

	(c)	Accrued letter of credit fee is payable quarterly in arrear (or any shorter period that ends on the Maturity Date for that Letter of Credit). Accrued letter of credit fee is also
payable to the Facility Agent on the cancelled amount of any Lender’s Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective if that Commitment is cancelled in full and the Letters of Credit prepaid or repaid in full. 

  

	(d)	If a Borrower provides cash cover for any part of a Letter of Credit, then: 

  

	 	(i)	the fronting fee payable to the relevant Issuing Bank and the letter of credit fee payable for the account of each Lender in respect of any part of a Letter of Credit which is the
subject of cash cover will continue to be payable until the expiry of that Letter of Credit; but 

  

	 	(ii)	that Borrower will be entitled to withdraw the interest accrued on the amount of the cash cover. 

  

	7.4	Claims under a Letter of Credit 

  

	(a)	Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises each relevant Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit requested by it and which
appears on its face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit (a claim). 

  

	(b)	 If an Issuing Bank pays any claim, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank by paying an amount equal to such claim to the Facility Agent not later than 12:00
noon, GMT, on the day that such claim is made, if the Borrower receives notice of such claim before 10:00 A.M., 

  

					
	 	 	23	  	2 August 2004

 
GMT, on such day, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower before such time on such day, then not later than 12:00 noon, GMT, on: 

 

	 	(i)	the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received before 10:00 A.M., GMT, on the day of receipt; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the next Business Day, if such notice is not received before such time on the day of receipt, provided that interest will accrue on the amount of the relevant claim from the date
the claim was paid by the Issuing Bank until the date the Borrower reimburses that amount to the Issuing Bank at the same rate as applicable to a Loan until the reimbursement is made by the Borrower. 

  

	(c)	Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Banks: 

  

	 	(i)	are not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other Person before paying a claim; and 

  

	 	(ii)	deal in documents only and will not be concerned with the legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any Person

  
 provided that this provision shall not limit a
Borrower’s rights under Clause 7.5(a). 
  

	(d)	The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause will not be affected by: 

  

	 	(i)	the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other document; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any Person signing a claim or other document. 

  

	7.5	Indemnities 

  

	(a)	A Borrower must immediately on demand indemnify each Issuing Bank against any loss or liability which that Issuing Bank incurs under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
requested by it, except to the extent that the loss or liability is directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. 

  

	(b)	Each Lender must immediately on demand indemnify each Issuing Bank against its share of any loss or liability which that Issuing Bank incurs under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit and which has not been paid for by an Obligor, except to the extent that the loss or liability is directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. 

  

	(c)	A Lender’s share of the liability or loss referred to in sub-paragraph (b) above will be its Pro Rata Share on the Utilisation Date of the relevant Letter of Credit, adjusted
to reflect any subsequent assignment or transfer under this Agreement. 

  

	(d)	The relevant Borrower must immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to an Issuing Bank under this Subclause provided that an Obligor has not already
reimbursed the relevant Issuing Bank in respect of that payment. 

  

	(e)	The obligations of each Lender under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable by that Lender under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 

  

					
	 	 	24	  	2 August 2004

	(f)	The obligations of any Lender under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its
obligations under this Clause (whether or not known to it or any other Person). This includes: 

  

	 	(i)	any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any Person; 

  

	 	(ii)	any release of any Person under the terms of any composition or arrangement; 

  

	 	(iii)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Person;

  

	 	(iv)	any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

  

	 	(v)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Person;

	7.6	Rights of contribution 

  
 A Borrower will not be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity from any Finance Party in respect of any payment it may make under this Clause,
unless such right of contribution or indemnity is directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. 
  

	7.7	Additional Issuing Banks 

  
 The Original Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Facility Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
such Lender, designate one or more Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement provided always that each Issuing Bank is a credit institution licensed to carry on guarantee business by the relevant regulatory authority in a
Member State of the European Union and where such Issuing Bank is not licensed to carry on such business by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority (or its predecessor the Central Bank of Ireland) such Issuing Bank shall before taking any

business.

	 	(b)	IBOR; and 

  

	 	(c)	Mandatory Cost (if any).

	11.3	Margin adjustments 

  

	(a)	In this Subclause: 

  
 long term credit rating means the long term unsecured senior non credit enhanced debt rating awarded to the Company by a Rating Agency 

 
 Rating Agency means Moody’s or S&P or any other rating
agency approved by the Majority Lenders. 
  

	(b)	Subject to the other provisions of this Subclause, the Margin will be calculated by reference to the table below, depending on the long term credit rating of the Company and the
percentage of the Total Commitments that are utilised: 

  

							
	 	 	 Margin
 (per cent. per annum)

	 Long-term credit rating of the Company

	 	 applicable where less than 50% of the
Total Commitments are utilised

	 	 applicable where 50% or
 more of the Total
 Commitments are utilised

	Moody’s	 	S&P	 	 	 	 
	 Baa1 or better
	 	BBB+ or better	 	0.375	 	0.425
	 Baa2
	 	BBB	 	0.475	 	0.525

	 	BB or lower	 	1.50	 	1.55

  

	(c)	The Company must notify the Facility Agent of any notification to it by a Rating Agency of a change in its long-term credit rating. In the case of a split rating from S&P and
Moody’s, if the ratings differential is one grade level, the rating to be used to determine the applicable Margin is the higher rating (the lower Margin) and if the ratings differential is more than one grade level, the rating to be used to
determine the applicable Margin will be the rating which is one grade higher than the lower rating. 

  

	(d)	Any change in the Margin, will subject to paragraph (e) below, apply to each Loan made, or (if outstanding): 

  

	 	(i)	from the Business Day following receipt by the Facility Agent of the notification from the Company of a change in rating; or 

  

					
	 	 	30	  	2 August 2004

	 	(ii)	from the day on which the percentage of the Total Commitments that are utilised changes from being less than 50% to 50% or more, or changes from being 50% or more to less than 50%.

  

	(e)	For so long as an Event of Default is outstanding or there is no long term credit rating of the Company from a Rating Agency, the Margin will be the highest applicable rate, being
1.55 per cent. per annum. 

  

	11.4	Interest on overdue amounts 

  

	(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due
date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment. 

  

	(b)	Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount
had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably): 

  

	 	(i)	select successive Terms of any duration of up to three months; and 

  

	 	(ii)	determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term. 

  

	(c)	Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Term, then:

  

	 	(i)	the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan. 

  
 After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the
overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above. 
  

	(d)	Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable.

  

	11.5	Notification of rates of interest

	 	(ii)	the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from Lenders whose shares in the relevant Loan exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan that the cost to
them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is in excess of IBOR for the relevant Term. 

  

	(b)	The Facility Agent must promptly notify the Original Borrower and the Lenders of a market disruption event. 

  

	(c)	After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share in the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable:

  

	 	(i)	Margin; 

  

	 	(ii)	rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Term, to be that which expresses as
a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its share in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select after consultation with the Borrower; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Mandatory Cost if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

	(a)	Each Obligor must make all payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. 

  

	(b)	If an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must promptly notify the
Facility Agent. The Facility Agent must then promptly notify the affected Parties. 

  

	(c)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from the Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after
making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 

  

	(d)	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax
Deduction within the time allowed by law. 

  

	(e)	Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction must deliver to the Facility Agent
for the relevant Finance Party evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority. 

 

	(f)	An Obligor shall not be required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by Ireland from a payment of
interest if on the date on which the payment falls due: 

  

	 	(i)	the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying
Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation treaty, or any published practice or concession of any
relevant taxing authority; or 

  

					
	 	 	33	  	2 August 2004

	 	(ii)	the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had
that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (g) below. 

  

	(g)	A Lender (including a Treaty Lender) and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Lender is entitled shall co-operate promptly in completing any procedural formalities
necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. Each Lender shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Obligors for the purposes of enabling the Obligors to determine the
correct position regarding withholding tax on payments of interest under this Agreement. 

  

	14.3	Tax indemnity 

  

	(a)	Except as provided below, the Borrowers must indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party determines will be or has been suffered (directly or
indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document. 

  

	(b)	Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which: 

  

	 	(i)	that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party has a Facility Office and is treated as resident for tax
purposes; or 

  

	 	(ii)	that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, 

  
 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income
received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income
received or receivable for this purpose. 
  

	(c)	A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Borrowers of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

  

	14.4	Tax Credit 

  
 If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that: 
  

	 	(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or that Tax Payment; and 

  

	 	(b)	it has used and retained that Tax Credit, 

  
 the Finance Party must pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position
as it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Obligor. 
  

	14.5	Stamp taxes 

  
 The Borrowers must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax payable in
connection with the entry into, 

  

					
	 	 	34	  	2 August 2004

 
performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a Transfer Certificate. 
  

	14.6	Value added taxes 

  

	(a)	Any amount payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with that
amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Obligor must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT
invoice to such Obligor. 

  

	(b)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against
all value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Finance Party (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment
from the relevant tax authority in respect of the Tax. 

  

	15.	INCREASED COSTS 

  

	15.1	Increased Costs 

  
 Except as provided below in this Clause, the Original Borrower must pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party
or any of its Affiliates as a result of:

	 	(b)	compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement. 

  

	15.2	Exceptions

	(b)	Each Finance Party must, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Cost. 

  

	16.	MITIGATION 

  

	16.1	Mitigation 

  

	(a)	Each Finance Party must, in consultation with the Original Borrower, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which result or would result in:

  

	 	(i)	any Tax Payment or Increased Cost being payable to that Finance Party; 

  

	 	(ii)	that Finance Party being able to exercise any right of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement by reason of any illegality; or 

  

	 	(iii)	that Finance Party incurring any cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank, 

  
 including transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance

	(c)	The Original Borrower must indemnify each Finance Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by that Finance Party as a
result of any step taken by it under this Subclause. 

  

	(d)	A Finance Party is not obliged to take any step under this Subclause if, in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might be prejudicial to it.

  

	16.2	Conduct of business by a Finance Party 

  
 No term of this Agreement will: 
  

	 	(a)	interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (Tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

 Payments under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent must be made for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the Facility Agent

Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate
calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

	17.6	Business Days 

  

	(a)	If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month
(if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not). 

  

	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable on the original due date.

must apply that payment towards the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in the following order:

	18.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 

  

	18.1	Guarantee and indemnity 

  
 Each Guarantor jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all its obligations under the Finance Documents; 

  

					
	 	 	38	  	2 August 2004

	 	(b)	undertakes with each Finance Party that, whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under any Finance Document, that Guarantor must immediately on demand by the Facility
Agent pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; and 

  

	 	(c)	indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any payment obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes
unenforceable, invalid or illegal; the amount of the loss or liability under this indemnity will be equal to the amount the Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover. 

  

	18.2	Continuing guarantee 

  
 This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents,
regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 
  

	18.3	Reinstatement 

  

	(a)	If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) or arrangement is made in whole or in part on the faith of
any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause will continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not
occurred. 

  

	(b)	Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration. 

  

	18.4	Waiver of defences 

  
 The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce,
release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party). This includes: 
  

	 	(a)	any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any Person; 

  

	 	(b)	any release of any Person under the terms of any composition or arrangement; 

  

	 	(c)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Person;

  

	 	(d)	any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

  

	 	(e)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Person; 

  

	 	(f)	any amendment (however fundamental) of a Finance Document or any other document or security; or 

  

					
	 	 	39	  	2 August 2004

other right or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause. 
  

	18.6	Appropriations 

  
 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or
any trustee or agent on its behalf) may without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Clause: 
  

	 	(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts;
or 

  

	 	(b)	apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and 

  

	 	(c)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of that Guarantor’s liability under this Clause. 

  

	18.7	Non-competition 

  
 Unless: 
  

	 	(a)	all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or 

  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent otherwise directs, 

  
 no Guarantor will, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause: 
  

	 	(i)	be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); 

  

	 	(ii)	be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of that Guarantor’s liability under this Clause;

  

	 	(iii)	claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its estate in competition with any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); or 

  

	 	(iv)	receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off as against any Obligor.

  
 Each Guarantor must hold in trust for and
immediately pay or transfer to the Facility Agent for the Finance Parties any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Clause or in accordance with any directions given by the Facility Agent under this Clause.

  

					
	 	 	40	  	2 August 2004

	18.8	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution 

  
 If any Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that
Guarantor then on the date that the Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor: 
  

	 	(a)	that Guarantor will be released by each other Guarantor from any liability whatsoever to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other
Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(b)	each other Guarantor will waive any right it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and
whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any right of any Finance Party under any Finance Document or of any other security taken under, or in connection with, any Finance Document by any Finance Party. 

  

	18.9	Additional security 

  
 This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party. 
  

	18.10	Limitations 

  
 This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the
meaning of Section 151 of the Companies Act 1985 or Section 60 of the Companies Act, 1963 of Ireland. 
  

	18.11	Consideration and enforceability with respect to the U.S. Guarantors 

  

	(a)	Each U.S. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: 

  

	 	(i)	it will receive valuable direct and indirect benefits as a result of the transactions financed by the Credits under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	to the best of its knowledge and belief, each of the Finance Parties has acted in good faith in connection with the guarantee given by each U.S. Guarantor and the transactions
contemplated by the Finance Documents. 

  

	(b)	Each Finance Party agrees that each U.S. Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 18 is limited so that no obligation of, or transfer by, any U.S. Guarantor under this Clause
18.11 is subject to avoidance and turnover under any fraudulent transfer law. 

  

	(c)	Each U.S. Guarantor agrees it has not made a transfer or incurred any obligation under this guarantee with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future
creditors. 

  

	(d)	For purposes of this Sub-clause 18.11: 

  

	 	(i)	fraudulent transfer law means applicable United States bankruptcy and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes and the related case law; and

  

	 	(ii)	U.S. Guarantor means any Guarantor that is a U.S. Obligor; and 

  

					
	 	 	41	  	2 August 2004

	 	(iii)	terms used in this Sub-clause 18.11 shall be construed in accordance with the applicable United States bankruptcy and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes and the

creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Obligors, considered as a whole. 

  

	19.3	Corporate and Governmental Authorisation; No Contravention 

  
 The execution and delivery by each Obligor of each of the Finance Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Obligor of its obligations

connection with periodic Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements) with, any governmental body, agency or official; and 

  

	 	(b)	do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the charter or by-laws of such Obligor or of any agreement or instrument

 Each Finance Document to which it is a party, when executed and delivered in accordance with such applicable Finance Documents constitutes the valid and
binding obligations of each 

  

					
	 	 	42	  	2 August 2004

 
of Obligor party thereto, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) the effect of

proceeding in equity or law). 
  

	19.5	Financial information 

  
 The consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of 3rd October, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income

 There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of a Principal Officer threatened against, the Company, the Borrowers or any
of their respective Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would affect the business, financial position or results of
operations of the Group in a manner material and adverse to the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Obligors, considered as a whole, or which in any manner questions the validity or enforceability of any Finance Document. 
  

	19.8	Compliance with ERISA 

  
 Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in
compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has: 
  

	 	(a)	sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan; 

  

	 	(b)	failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement,

pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. 

  

	(c)	Adequate reserves have been provided on the books of the U.S. Obligors in respect of all taxes or other governmental charges in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

of operations of the Group in a manner material and adverse to the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Obligors, considered as a whole.

	(d)	Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 29, an amendment to the amount of the Total Commitments may be made in accordance with Clause 2.3 (Increase in Total Commitments).

  

	29.3	Change of currency 

  
 If a change in any currency of a country occurs (including where there is more than one currency or currency unit recognised at the same time as the
lawful currency of a country), the Finance Documents will be amended to the extent the Facility Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Original Borrower) determines is necessary to reflect the change. 
  

	29.4	Waivers and remedies cumulative 

  
 The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents: 
  

	 	(a)	may be exercised as often as necessary; 

  

					
	 	 	66	  	2 August 2004

	 	(b)	are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and 

  

	 	(c)	may be waived only in writing and specifically. 

  
 Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right. 
  

	30.	CHANGES TO THE PARTIES 

  

	30.1	Assignments and transfers by Obligors 

  
 No Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the Lenders. 

 

	30.2	Assignments and transfers by Lenders 

  

	(a)	A Lender (the Existing Lender) may at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other bank or
financial institution or to a trust fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the New Lender).

  

	(b)	The consent of the Original Borrower is required for any assignment or transfer unless the New Lender is another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Event of Default is
outstanding. The consent of the Original Borrower must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  

	(c)	The Original Borrower may not withhold its consent solely because the assignment or transfer might increase the Mandatory Cost. 

  

	(d)	No assignment or transfer under this Clause will be effective until the Facility Agent has completed all know your customer requirements relating to any Person that it is required
to carry out in relation to such assignment or transfer. The Facility Agent is not obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate until it has completed all know your customer requirements to its satisfaction. 

  

	(e)	A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either: 

  

	 	(i)	the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Original Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a
Lender. On the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender. 

  

	(f)	Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees, the New Lender must pay to the Facility Agent for its own account, on or before the date any assignment or transfer occurs, a fee of
£1,500. 

  

	(g)	Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement. 

  

	(h)	The consent of each Issuing Bank is required for any assignment or transfer of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

  

					
	 	 	67	  	2 August 2004

	30.3	Procedure for transfer by way of novations 

  

	(a)	In this Subclause: 

  
 Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of: 
  

	 	(i)	the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer Certificate. 

  

	(b)	A novation is effected if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Facility Agent executes it. 

  
 The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order.

  

	(c)	Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

  

	(d)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing
Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights. 

  

	(e)	The Facility Agent must, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Original Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

  

	30.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender 

  

	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of:

  

	 	(i)	any Finance Document or any other document; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document, 

  
 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

  

	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 

  

	 	(i)	has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and
affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature or extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and 

  

					
	 	 	68	  	2 August 2004

	 	(ii)	has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document. 

  

	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or 

  

	 	(ii)	support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise. 

 

	30.5	Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office 

  
 If: 
  

	 	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

  
 then, unless the assignment, transfer or change
is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to the Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that
it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred. 
  

	30.6	Additional Obligors 

  

	(a)	If one of the wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company is to become an Additional Obligor, then the Company must (following consultation with the Facility Agent) deliver to the
Facility Agent the relevant documents and evidence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents). 

  

	(b)	The prior consent of the Majority Lenders is required if the Additional Obligor is to be an Additional Borrower. 

  

	(c)	The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Obligor when the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and the Original Borrower that it has received all of the
documents and evidence referred to in paragraph (a) above in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable. 

  

	(d)	Delivery of an Accession Agreement, executed by the relevant Subsidiary and the Original Borrower, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and the Original
Borrower that the Repeating Representations are then correct. 

  

	30.7	Changes to the Reference Banks 

  
 If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent must (in
consultation with the Original Borrower) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

					
	 	 	69	  	2 August 2004

	30.8	Substitution of Lenders and Issuing Banks 

  
 If the obligations of any Lender or Issuing Bank become unlawful as provided in Clause 7.2 (Illegality) or Clause 10.1 (Mandatory prepayment –
illegality) or any Lender or Issuing Bank has demanded and is continuing to demand compensation under Clause 14 (Taxes) or Clause 15.1 (Increased Costs) (such Lender and/or Issuing Bank referred to in this Subclause as an Affected Finance
Party), the affected Borrower may elect to substitute another financial institution (or financial institutions) (which may be one or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks) for the Affected Finance Party, whereupon such Borrower shall so notify
the Facility Agent and the Affected Finance Party. If the Lenders or, as the case may be, Issuing Banks advise the Facility Agent that they consent to the substitution of each proposed substitute financial institution, then such substitute financial
institution or financial institutions may purchase the Loans and Letters of Credit and assume the Commitment of the Affected Finance Party; provided that, on or prior to such purchase and assumption, each such substitute financial institution shall
have executed and delivered to the Facility Agent an instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent (and which in the case of the transfer of Loans shall be in the form of a Transfer Certificate), agreeing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement and assuming all (or the relevant portion of) the obligations under this Agreement of the Affected Finance Party and, if the Affected Finance Party is an Issuing Bank, the obligations under any Letters of Credit
issued by that Issuing Bank. Upon the receipt by the Facility Agent of such instrument (which in the case of the transfer of Loans shall be in the form of a Transfer Certificate) from each such substitute financial institution and, if applicable,
evidence of any consents required from the beneficiaries of any Letters of Credit issued by the relevant Issuing Bank to such purchase and assumption, each such substitute financial institution shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank for purposes of
this Agreement, and the Affected Finance Party shall (with respect to such assigned Loans, Letter of Credit and Commitments) no longer be a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder; provided that neither the Affected Finance Party nor the affected Borrower
shall be deprived of any of its rights or released from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any period prior to the date on which such substitution becomes effective. 
  

	31.	DISCLOSURE 

  

	31.1	Disclosure 

  

	(a)	Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is
entitled to disclose information: 

  

	 	(i)	which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach by that Finance Party of this Clause; 

  

	 	(ii)	in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings; 

  

	 	(iii)	if required to do so under any law or regulation; 

  

	 	(iv)	to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority; 

  

	 	(v)	to its professional advisers; 

  

	 	(vi)	to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below; 

  

	 	(vii)	to another Obligor; or 

  

					
	 	 	70	  	2 August 2004

	 	(viii)	with the prior written agreement of the relevant Obligor. 

  

	(b)	A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any Person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this
Agreement (a participant): 

  

	 	(i)	a copy of any Finance Document; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document. 

  
 However, before a participant may receive any confidential information, it must agree with the relevant Finance Party to
keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a) above. 
  

	(c)	This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a Party. 

  

	31.2	USA Patriot Act 

  
 Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on
26th October, 2001) (the Act), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
Obligor, which information includes the name and address of such Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance with the Act. 
  

	32.	SET-OFF 

  
 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor under the Finance
Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If
the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 
  

	33.	PRO RATA SHARING 

  

	33.1	Redistribution 

  
 If any amount owing by an Obligor under this Agreement to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner
other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then: 
  

	 	(a)	the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent; 

  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed
by the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(c)	the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution). 

  

					
	 	 	71	  	2 August 2004

	33.2	Effect of redistribution 

  

	(a)	The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders, other than the recovering
Lender, accordingly. 

  

	(b)	When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that
redistribution. 

  

	(c)	If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Lender a
debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. 

  

	(d)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, 

  

each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with
interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 
  

	33.3	Exceptions 

  
 Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Lender need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: 
  

	 	(a)	it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or 

  

	 	(b)	it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

  

	 	(i)	the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably
practicable after receiving notice of them. 

  

	34.	SEVERABILITY 

  
 If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect: 
  

	 	(a)	the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or 

  

	 	(b)	the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents. 

  

					
	 	 	72	  	2 August 2004

	35.	COUNTERPARTS 

  
 Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts. This has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single
copy of the Finance Document.

	(a)	The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with any Finance Document.

with any Finance Document. 

  

	(c)	The English and New York courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and each Obligor waives objection to those courts on the grounds of
inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with any Finance Document. 

  

	(d)	This Clause is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. To the extent allowed by law, a Finance Party may take: 

  

	 	(i)	proceedings in any other court; and 

  

	 	(ii)	concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 

  

	39.2	Service of process

postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address set out in Clause 36.2(b) (Contact details). Each such Obligor agrees that such service: 

  

	 	(i)	shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Obligor in any such proceedings; and

	(d)	If any Person appointed as process agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Original Borrower (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately
appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose. 

  

	(e)	Each Obligor agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate the relevant proceedings. 

  

	(f)	This Clause does not affect any other method of service allowed by law. 

  

					
	 	 	75	  	2 August 2004

	39.3	Waiver of immunity

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 ARAMARK CORPORATION 
 AGREEMENT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT AND 
 POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPETITION 
  
 This Agreement is between the undersigned individual (“Employee”) and ARAMARK
CORPORATION (“ARAMARK”). 
  
 RECITALS

  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK is a leading provider of managed
services to business and industry, private and public institutions, and the general public, in the following business groups: food and support services; and uniform and career apparel; 
  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK has a proprietary interest in its business and financial plans and systems, methods of operation and other
secret and confidential information, knowledge and data (“Proprietary Information”) which includes, but is not limited to, all confidential, proprietary or non-public information, ideas and concepts; annual and strategic business plans;
financial plans, reports and systems including, profit and loss statements, sales, accounting forms and procedures and other information regarding costs, pricing and the financial condition of ARAMARK and its business segments and groups; management
development reviews, including information regarding the capabilities and experience of ARAMARK employees; intellectual property, including patents, inventions, discoveries, research and development, compounds, recipes, formulae, reports, protocols,
computer software and databases; information regarding ARAMARK’s relationships with its clients, customers, and suppliers and prospective clients, partners, customers and suppliers; policy and procedure manuals, information regarding materials
and documents in any form or medium (including oral, written, tangible, intangible, or electronic) concerning any of the above, or any past, current or future business activities of ARAMARK that is not publicly available; compensation, recruiting

  

 
and training, and human resource policies and procedures; and data compilations, research, reports, structures, compounds, techniques, methods, processes,
know-how; 
  
 WHEREAS, all such Proprietary Information is
developed at great expense to ARAMARK and is considered by ARAMARK to be confidential trade secrets; 
  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK will provide access to Employee, as a senior manager, to ARAMARK’s Proprietary Information, directly in the course of
Employee’s employment, and indirectly through interaction with and presentations by other ARAMARK senior managers at the Executive Leadership Institute, Executive Leadership Council meetings, Presidents’ Council meetings and the like;

  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK will introduce Employee to ARAMARK clients,
customers, suppliers and others, and will encourage, and provide resources for, Employee to develop personal relationships with ARAMARK’s clients, customers, suppliers and others; 
  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK will provide specialized training and skills to Employee in connection with the performance of
Employee’s duties at ARAMARK which training involves the disclosure by ARAMARK to Employee of Proprietary Information; 
  
 WHEREAS, ARAMARK will be vulnerable to unfair post-employment competition by Employee because Employee will have access to and knowledge of ARAMARK’s
Proprietary Information, will have a personal relationship with ARAMARK’s clients, customers, suppliers and others, and will generate good will which Employee acknowledges belongs to ARAMARK; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Employee’s employment with ARAMARK,
the award of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units under the 

  

 2 

 
ARAMARK 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, the severance and other post-employment benefits provided for herein (including pursuant to Exhibit A hereto), and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee agrees to enter into this Agreement with ARAMARK as a condition of employment pursuant to which ARAMARK will limit Employee’s right to
compete against ARAMARK during and following termination of employment on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE 1. NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT: Employee shall not, during or after termination of employment, directly or
indirectly, in any manner utilize or disclose to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, except where required by law, any Proprietary Information which is not generally known to the public, or has not otherwise been disclosed or
recognized as standard practice in the industries in which ARAMARK is engaged. Employee shall, during and after termination of employment, refrain from making any statements or comments of a defamatory or disparaging nature to any third party
regarding ARAMARK, or any of ARAMARK’s officers, directors, personnel, policies or products, other than to comply with law. 
  
 ARTICLE 2. NON-COMPETITION: 
  

	A.	 Subject to Article 2. B. below, Employee, during Employee’s period of employment with ARAMARK, and for a period of two years following the voluntary or
involuntary termination of employment, shall not, without ARAMARK’s written permission, which shall be granted or denied in ARAMARK’s sole discretion, directly or indirectly, associate with (including, but not limited to, association as a
sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, 

  

 3 

	 	 
member, consultant, contractor or otherwise), or acquire or maintain ownership interest in, any Business which is competitive with that conducted by or
developed for later implementation by ARAMARK at any time during the term of Employee’s employment, provided, however, if Employee’s employment is (i) involuntarily terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than Cause (as defined herein),
or (ii) terminated by Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Exhibit A) at any time following a Change of Control (as defined in Exhibit A), then the term of the non-competition provision set forth herein will be modified to be one year following
such termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall be defined as a person, corporation, firm, LLC, partnership, joint venture or other entity. Nothing in the foregoing shall prevent Employee from investing in
a Business that is or becomes publicly traded, if Employee’s ownership is as a passive investor of less than 1% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of the Business. 

  

	B.	The provision set forth in Article 2.A above, shall apply to (i) all fifty states, and (ii) each foreign country, possession or territory in which ARAMARK may be engaged in, or have
plans to engage in, business (x) during Employee’s period of employment, or (y) in the case of a termination of employment, as of the effective date of such termination or at any time during the twenty-four month period prior thereto.

  

	C.	 Employee acknowledges that these restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the business interests of ARAMARK, and that enforcement of the provisions set
forth in this Article 2 will not unnecessarily or unreasonably impair Employee’s ability to obtain other employment following the termination (voluntary or involuntary) of Employee’s employment with ARAMARK. Further, Employee acknowledges
that the provisions set 

  

 4 

	 	 
forth in this Article 2 shall apply if Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated by ARAMARK for Cause; as a result of the elimination of
employee’s position; for performance-related issues; or for any other reason or no reason at all.  

  
 ARTICLE 3. NON-SOLICITATION: During the period of Employee’s employment with ARAMARK and for a period of two years following the termination of
Employee’s employment, regardless of the reason for termination, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) induce or encourage any employee of ARAMARK to leave the employ of ARAMARK, (ii) hire any individual who was an employee of ARAMARK
as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment or within a six month period prior to such date, or (iii) induce or encourage any customer, client, supplier or other business relation of ARAMARK to cease or reduce doing business with
ARAMARK or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, client, supplier or other business relation and ARAMARK.  
  
 ARTICLE 4. DISCOVERIES AND WORKS: Employee hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys to ARAMARK to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law
Employee’s right, title and interest now or hereinafter acquired, in and to all Discoveries and Works (as defined below) created, invented, designed, developed, improved or contributed to by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, while
employed by ARAMARK and within the scope of Employee’s employment and/or with the use of ARAMARK’s resources. The terms “Discoveries and Works” include all works of authorship, inventions, intellectual property, materials,
documents, or other work product (including, without limitation, Proprietary Information, patents and patent applications, patentable inventions, research, reports, software, code, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works,
graphics and audiovisual materials). Employee shall have the burden of proving that any materials or works created, 

  

 5 

 
invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved by Employee that are implicated by or relevant to employment by ARAMARK are not implicated by this
provision. Employee agrees to (i) keep accurate records and promptly notify, make full disclosure to, and execute and deliver any documents and to take any further actions requested by ARAMARK to assist it in validating, effectuating, maintaining,
protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of its rights hereunder, and (ii) renounce any and all claims, including, without limitation, claims of ownership and royalty, with respect to all Discoveries and Works and
all other property owned or licensed by ARAMARK. Any Discoveries and Works that, within six months after the termination of Employee’s employment with ARAMARK, are made, disclosed, reduced to a tangible or written form or description, or are
reduced to practice by Employee and which pertain to the business carried on or products or services being sold or developed by ARAMARK at the time of such termination shall, as between Employee and ARAMARK, be presumed to have been made during such
employment with ARAMARK. Employee acknowledges that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all Discoveries and Works shall be deemed “works made for hire” under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, 17 U.S.C. Section 101. Employee
hereby grants ARAMARK a perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable license under all rights and intellectual property rights (including patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair
competition and related laws) in any Works and Discoveries, for all purposes in connection with ARAMARK’s current and future business, that Employee has created, invented, designed, developed, improved or contributed to prior to Employee’s
employment with ARAMARK that are relevant to or implicated by such employment (“Prior Works”). Any Prior Works are disclosed by Employee in Schedule 1. 
  

 6 

 ARTICLE 5. REMEDIES: Employee acknowledges that in the event of any violation by Employee of the provisions
set forth in Articles 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, ARAMARK will sustain serious, irreparable and substantial harm to its business, the extent of which will be difficult to determine and impossible to fully remedy by an action at law for money damages.
Accordingly, Employee agrees that, in the event of such violation or threatened violation by Employee, ARAMARK shall be entitled to an injunction before trial before any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course upon the posting of not
more than a nominal bond, in addition to all such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available to ARAMARK. If ARAMARK is required to enforce the provisions set forth in Articles 2 and 3 above by seeking an injunction, Employee agrees that
the relevant time periods set forth in Articles 2 and 3 shall commence with the entry of the injunction. Employee further agrees that, in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, or for any reason unenforceable as written, such court shall substitute a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and purpose of the invalid provision and which would be enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law.  
  

 7 

 ARTICLE 6. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: 
  

	A.	If Employee’s employment is terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than Cause, and Employee executes and does not revoke a Release and Waiver of Claims in a form acceptable
to ARAMARK, Employee shall be entitled to the following post-employment benefits: 

  

	 	1.	Severance Pay: Employee shall receive severance payments equivalent to Employee’s monthly base salary as of the effective date of termination for the number of months
set forth on the following schedule: 

  

			
	 Years of ARAMARK Continuous
 Service Completed from Last Hire
 Date

	  	 Months of Severance Pay

	  
	 Less than 2
	  	6
	 2
	  	9
	 3
	  	12
	 4
	  	15
	 5 or More
	  	18

  
 Severance payments
shall commence with the Employee’s effective date of termination and shall be made in accordance with ARAMARK’s normal payroll cycle. The period during which Employee receives severance payments shall be referred to as the “Severance
Pay Period.” 
  

	 	2.	Other Post-Employment Benefits 

  

	 	(a)	 Basic Group medical and life insurance coverages shall continue under then prevailing terms during the Severance Pay Period; provided, however, that if Employee
becomes employed by a new employer during that period, continuing coverage from ARAMARK will become secondary to any coverage afforded by the new employer. Employee’s share of the premiums will be deducted from Employee’s severance
payments. Basic Group medical coverage provided during such period shall be applied 

  

 8 

	 	 
against ARAMARK’s obligation to continue group medical coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”).
Upon termination of basic group medical and life coverages, Employee may convert such coverages to individual policies to the extent allowable under the terms of the plans providing such coverages. 

  

	 	(b)	If, at the time of termination, ARAMARK is providing Employee with a leased vehicle, then ARAMARK will continue to provide the leased vehicle through the Severance Pay Period under
the same terms and conditions as in effect at the time of the Employee’s termination. At the expiration of the Severance Pay Period, Employee must return the leased vehicle to ARAMARK unless the Employee elects to purchase the vehicle in
accordance with the Executive Leadership Council policy then in effect. If Employee is receiving a car allowance at the time of the Employee’s termination, such car allowance will continue to be paid through the Severance Pay Period. At the
expiration of the Severance Pay Period, the Employee will cease being paid a car allowance. 

  

	 	(c)	 Employee’s eligibility to participate in all other benefit and compensation plans, including, but not limited to the Management Incentive Bonus, Long Term
Disability, Stock Unit Retirement, Deferred Compensation, 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, and any other stock option or ownership plans, shall terminate as of the effective date of Employee’s termination unless provided otherwise under the terms of
a particular plan, provided, however, that participation in plans and programs made available solely to 

  

 9 

	 	 
Executive Leadership Council members, including, but not limited to the Executive Leadership Council Medical Plan, shall cease as of the effective date of
termination or the date Employee’s Executive Leadership Council membership ceases, whichever occurs first. Employee, however, shall have certain rights to continue the Executive Leadership Council Medical Plan under COBRA.

  

	B.	Termination for “Cause” shall be defined as termination of employment due to: (i) conviction of or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony (or any similar
crime for purposes of laws outside the United States), (ii) fraud or dishonesty, (iii) willful failure to perform assigned duties, (iv) willful violation of ARAMARK’s Business Conduct Policy, or (v) intentionally working against the best
interests of ARAMARK. 

  

	C.	If Employee is terminated by ARAMARK for reasons other than Cause, Employee will receive the severance payments and other post-employment benefits during the Severance Pay Period
even if Employee commences other employment during such period provided such employment does not violate the terms of Article 2. 

  

	D.	In addition to the remedies set forth in Article 5, ARAMARK reserves the right to terminate all severance payments and other post-employment benefits if Employee violates the
covenants set forth in Articles 1, 2, 3 or 4 above. 

  

	E.	 Employee’s receipt of severance and other post-employment benefits under this Agreement is contingent on (i) Employee’s execution of a Release and Waiver
of Claims in a form reasonably acceptable to ARAMARK, except that such release and waiver shall not include any claims by Employee to enforce Employee’s rights under, or with respect to, this Agreement (including the attached Exhibit A) or any
ARAMARK benefit plan 

  

 10 

	 	 
pursuant to its terms, and (ii) the non-revocation of the release and waiver by Employee; provided, however, that this Article 6.E no longer shall apply
following a Change of Control (as defined in the attached Exhibit A). 

  
 ARTICLE 7. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT: Employee acknowledges that ARAMARK has the right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, provided, however, that any termination by ARAMARK for reasons
other than Cause shall result in the severance and the post-employment benefits described in Article 6 above, to become due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee further
acknowledges that the severance payments made and other benefits provided by ARAMARK are in full satisfaction of any obligations ARAMARK may have resulting from ARAMARK’s exercise of its right to terminate Employee’s employment, including
any obligation under general severance plans or policies, and except for those obligations which are intended to survive termination such as the payments to be made pursuant to retirement plans, deferred compensation plans and conversion of
insurance. 
  
 ARTICLE 8. MISCELLANEOUS: 
  

	A.	As used throughout this Agreement, ARAMARK includes ARAMARK Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates or any corporation, joint venture, or other entity in which ARAMARK
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates has an equity interest in excess of ten percent (10%). 

  

	B.	This Agreement shall supersede and substitute for any previous post-employment or severance agreement between Employee and ARAMARK. 

  

	C.	In the event of a Change of Control as defined in the attached Exhibit A, the provisions of Exhibit A shall apply to Employee. 

  

 11 

	D.	If Employee’s employment with ARAMARK terminates solely by reason of a transfer of stock or assets of, or a merger or other disposition of, a subsidiary of ARAMARK (whether
direct or indirect), such termination shall not be deemed a termination of employment by ARAMARK for purposes of this Agreement, provided that ARAMARK requires the subsequent employer, by agreement, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that ARAMARK would be required to perform it if no such transaction had taken place. 

  

	E.	Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. 

 

	F.	In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

  

	G.	The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. For purposes of any action or
proceeding, Employee irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Pennsylvania and the courts of the United States of America located in Pennsylvania for the purpose of any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, and acknowledges that the designated fora have a reasonable relation to the Agreement and to the parties’ relationship with one another. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 8.G, ARAMARK may, in its discretion,
bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of seeking temporary or preliminary relief pending resolution of a dispute. 

  

 12 

	H.	Employee expressly consents to the application of Article 8.G to any judicial action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. ARAMARK shall have the right to
serve legal process upon Employee in any manner permitted by law. In addition, Employee irrevocably appoints the General Counsel of ARAMARK Corporation (or any successor) as Employee’s agent for service of legal process in connection with any
such action or proceeding and Employee agrees that service of legal process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise Employee of any such service of legal process at the address of Employee then in the records of ARAMARK, shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of legal process upon Employee in any such action or proceeding. 

  

	I.	Employee hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that Employee now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue
of any action or proceeding brought in any court referenced in Article 8.G and hereby agrees not to plead or claim the same. 

  

	J.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, ARAMARK may, to the extent required by law, withhold applicable federal, state and local income and other taxes from any
payments due to Employee hereunder. 

  

	K.	Employee and ARAMARK acknowledge that for purposes of Article 6, Employee’s last hire date with ARAMARK is April 28, 1980. 

  

	L.	 This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and Employee, and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, including its provisions on post-employment restrictions, is specifically assignable by ARAMARK. 

  

 13 

	 	 
Employee hereby consents to such future assignment and agrees not to challenge the validity of such future assignment.

 EXHIBIT A 
  

TERMINATION PROTECTION PROVISIONS 
  
 THIS is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, the ARAMARK Corporation Agreement Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition between Lynn
B. McKee (the “Executive”) and ARAMARK Corporation. 
  

	 	1.	Defined Terms. 

  
 Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Exhibit which are defined in Schedule A shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule A.

  

	 	2.	Effective Date; Term. 

  
 This Exhibit shall be effective as of 5/5/, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect until 5/5, 2007 (the “Term”); provided, however, that commencing with 5/5, 2005 and on
each anniversary thereof (each an “Extension Date”), the Term shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year period, unless the Company or Executive provides the other party hereto written notice before the applicable Extension
Date that the Term shall not be so extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Exhibit shall, if in effect on the date of a Change of Control, remain in effect until the later of three years following the Change of Control and the date that all of
the Company’s obligations under this Exhibit have been satisfied in full. 
  

	 	3.	Change of Control Benefits. 

  
 If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time within the three years following a Change of Control by the Company without
Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason (the effective date of either such termination hereafter referred to as the “Termination Date”), Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided hereafter in this Section 3 and as
set forth in this Exhibit. If Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated prior to a Change of Control by the Company (i) at the request of a party (other than the Company) involved in the Change of Control or (ii) otherwise in
connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control that subsequently occurs, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided hereafter in this Section 3 and as set forth in this Exhibit, and Executive’s Termination Date shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately following the Change of Control. Payment of benefits under this Exhibit shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any benefits payable under the ARAMARK Corporation Agreement Relating to Employment and
Post-Employment Competition of which this Exhibit is a part, except as provided in Section 3(b) hereof. Notice of termination without Cause or for Good Reason shall be given in accordance with Section 13, and shall indicate the specific termination
provision hereunder relied upon, the relevant facts and circumstances and the Termination Date. 
  

	 	a.	Severance Payments. The Company shall pay Executive cash benefits equal to: 

  

	 	(1)	two times Executive’s Base Salary in effect on the date of the Change of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is higher; provided that if any reduction of the Base Salary
has occurred, then the Base Salary on either date shall be as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, payable in regular installments at such times as would otherwise be the Company’s usual payroll practice over a period of two years;
and 

  

	 	(2)	the higher of: (A) two times Executive’s Target Bonus in effect on the date of the Change of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is greater; or (B) two times
Executive’s most recent actual annual bonus, payable in either case ratably in regular installments at the same time as payments are made to Executive under Section 3(a)(1) above; provided that if any reduction of the Target Bonus has occurred,
then the Target Bonus on either date shall be as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; and 

  

	 	(3)	Executive’s Target Bonus (as determined in (2), above) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days Executive was employed by the Company in
the Company fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs and the denominator of which shall equal 365, payable as a cash lump sum within forty days after the Termination Date; and 

  

	 	(4)	in the case of a termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason, an amount equal to the severance pay specified in Article 6.A.1. of the attached Presidents’ Council
Agreement (as defined in Section 8 hereof), payable according to the schedule set forth therein, determined as if Executive’s employment had been terminated by ARAMARK without Cause on the Termination Date. 

  

	 	b.	Continuation of Benefits. Until the second anniversary of the Termination Date, the Company shall, at its expense, provide Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents with
medical, life insurance and disability coverages at the level provided to Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control; provided, however, that if Executive becomes employed by a new employer, continuing coverage from the Company will become
secondary to any coverage afforded by the new employer. In the event benefits are continued under this Section 3(b), such continued benefits shall be in lieu of those specified in Article 6.A.2.a of the attached Presidents’ Council Agreement
(as defined in Section 8 hereof). 

  

 A-2 

	 	c.	Payment of Earned But Unpaid Amounts. Within forty days after the Termination Date, the Company shall pay Executive the Base Salary through the Termination Date, any Bonus earned
but unpaid as of the Termination Date for any previously completed fiscal year of the Company, all compensation previously deferred by Executive but not yet paid and reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses properly incurred by Executive in
accordance with Company policies prior to the Termination Date. Executive shall also receive such employee benefits, if any, to which Executive may be entitled from time to time under the employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, policies or
programs of the Company, other than any Company severance policy (payments and benefits in this subsection (c), the “Accrued Benefits”). 

  

	 	d.	Outplacement Counseling. For the two-year period following the Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date Executive first obtains full-time employment after the Termination Date),
the Company shall reimburse all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive for professional outplacement services by qualified consultants selected by Executive, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the Executive’s Base Salary in effect on the date
of the Change of Control or the Termination Date, whichever is higher. 

  

	 	e.	Vesting of Other Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to such accelerated vesting of outstanding equity-based awards or retirement plan benefits as is specified under the terms of
the applicable plans, agreements and arrangements. 

  

	 	4.	Mitigation. 

  
 Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Exhibit by seeking other employment or otherwise, and, subject to Section 3(b), compensation earned from such
employment or otherwise shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable under this Exhibit. No amounts payable under this Exhibit shall be subject to reduction or offset in respect of any claims which the Company (or any other person or entity) may
have against Executive. 
  

	 	5.	Gross-Up. 

  

	 	a.	 In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company, any of its affiliates, or one or more trusts
established by the Company for the benefit of its employees, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit, or otherwise) (a “Payment”) is subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Excise Tax”), Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up 

  

 A-3 

	 	 
Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed
upon the Payments. 

  

	 	b.	All determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to
be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by such nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations
both to the Company and Executive within ten business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any
Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the
highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of Executive’s residence or place of employment in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income
taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be
borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to Executive (or to the appropriate taxing authority on Executive’s behalf) when due. If the Accounting Firm determines
that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of
the Code, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) Executive was lower than the amount actually due (“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its
remedies pursuant to Section 5(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for the benefit of Executive. 

  

	 	c.	 Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of any
Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is 

  

 A-4 

	 	 
informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid.
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is
due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii)
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear
and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in
connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct
Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one
or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, further, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis,
and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to such advance; provided, further, that if Executive is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company to contest such claim, Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. The Company’s control of the
contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
taxing authority. 

  

	 	d.	 If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount paid or advanced by the Company pursuant to this Section 5, Executive becomes entitled to receive 

  

 A-5 

	 	 
any refund with respect to a Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 5(c)) promptly pay
to the Company the amount of such refund received (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), a determination
is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

  

	 	6.	Termination for Cause. 

  
 Nothing in this Exhibit shall be construed to prevent the Company from terminating Executive’s employment for Cause. If Executive is terminated for
Cause, the Company shall have no obligation to make any payments under this Exhibit, except for the Accrued Benefits. 
  

	 	7.	Indemnification; Director’s and Officer’s Liability Insurance. 

  
 Executive shall, after the Termination Date, retain all rights to indemnification under applicable law or under the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws, as they may be amended or restated from time to time. In addition, the Company shall maintain Director’s and Officer’s liability insurance on behalf of Executive, at the level in effect immediately prior to the
Termination Date, for the three year period following the Termination Date, and throughout the period of any applicable statute of limitations. 
  

	 	8.	Executive Covenants. 

  
 This is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, an agreement with the Company relating to employment and post-employment competition (the
“Presidents’ Council Agreement”). This Exhibit shall not diminish in any way Executive’s rights under the terms of such Presidents’ Council Agreement, except that Executive’s receipt of benefits under this Exhibit is
contingent upon Executive’s compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of the Presidents’ Council Agreement. 
  

	 	9.	Costs of Proceedings. 

  
 Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with any legal proceeding (including arbitration), relating to the interpretation or
enforcement of any provision of this Exhibit, except that the Company shall pay such costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, of Executive if Executive prevails in such proceeding. 
  

 A-6 

	 	10.	Assignment. 

  
 Except as otherwise provided herein, this Exhibit shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and Executive and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns. If the Company shall be merged into or consolidated with another entity, the provisions of this Exhibit shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the entity surviving such merger or resulting from such consolidation. The Company
shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Exhibit in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of this Section 10 shall continue to apply to each subsequent employer of Executive hereunder in the event
of any subsequent merger, consolidation or transfer of assets of such subsequent employer. 
  

	 	11.	Withholding. 

  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit, the Company may, to the extent required by law, withhold applicable federal, state and local income
and other taxes from any payments due to Executive hereunder. 
  

	 	12.	Applicable Law. 

  
 This Exhibit shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of laws principles
thereof. 
  

	 	13.	Notice. 

  
 For the purpose of this Exhibit, any notice and all other communication provided for in this Exhibit shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three
days after it has been mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 A-7 

	 	14.	Entire Agreement; Modification. 

  
 This Exhibit constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and, except as expressly provided herein, supersedes all other prior agreements
expressly concerning the effect of a Change of Control on the relationship between the Company and Executive. This Exhibit is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, a contract of employment between the Company and Executive. This Exhibit
may be changed only by a written agreement executed by the Company and Executive. 
  

	 	15.	Severability. 

  
 In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Exhibit shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
