 FORM OF NON QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
[                    ][    ], 200[7][8] between ARAMARK HOLDINGS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the Optionee set forth on the Certificate of Grant and signature page to this Agreement (the “Optionee”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) made and entered into as of the 8th day of August, 2006, by and among RMK Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“MergerCo”), RMK Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Aramark Corporation, MergerCo has been merged with and into Aramark Corporation, with Aramark Corporation surviving the merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Committee (as such term is
defined in the Plan) has agreed to grant to the Optionee, as of the date first set forth above (the “Grant Date”), an option under the Aramark Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan; and 
 WHEREAS, the Optionee is, in connection with the execution of this Agreement, to become a party to the Stockholders Agreement (as such term is defined in the Plan). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows: 
 Section 1. The Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth
herein in their entirety. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Agreement shall control. A copy of the Plan has been provided to the Optionee. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan or the Stockholders Agreement, as the case may be. 
 Section 2. Option; Option Price. Effective on the Grant Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the “Option”) to
purchase the number of Shares set forth on the Certificate of Grant to which this agreement is attached, at the Option Price equal to $[the most recent quarterly appraisal price of one share of Common Stock] One-half of the Option consists of
options with time-based vesting (“Time-Based Options”), and one-half of the Option consists of options with performance-based vesting (“Performance-Based Options”). The payment of the Option Price may be made, at
the election of the Optionee, in any manner authorized under Section 5.5 of the Plan as such section is in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Option is not intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as an “incentive
stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 3. Term. The term of the Option (the
“Option Term”) shall commence on the Grant Date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless the Option shall have sooner been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation,
Article V of the Plan) or this Agreement.

 Section 4. Vesting. Subject to the Optionee’s not having a Termination of Relationship
and except as otherwise set forth in Section 7, the Options shall become non-forfeitable and exercisable (any Options that shall have become non-forfeitable and exercisable pursuant to Section 4, the “Vested
Options”) according to the following provisions: 
 (a) Time-Based Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Time-Based Options shall become Vested Options on each of the first four anniversaries of the
Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(a)(i), in the event of (A) a Change of Control, each outstanding Time-Based Option which has not
theretofore become a Vested Option pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall become a Vested Option concurrently with consummation of such event, and (B) a Termination of Relationship as a result of the Optionee’s death, Disability, or
Retirement (each, a “Special Termination”), the installment of Time-Based Options scheduled to vest during the 12-month period immediately following such Special Termination shall become Vested Options, and the remaining Time-Based
Options which are not then Vested Options shall be forfeited. 
 (b) Performance-Based Options. 
 (i) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options on each Vesting Date, subject to the
Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date and the achievement of the applicable EBIT performance target for the applicable fiscal year of the Company relating to the applicable Vesting Date (each such
fiscal year, a “Fiscal Year”, and each such EBIT performance target, an “EBIT Target”, all as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement). 
 (ii) Notwithstanding Section 4(b)(i), but, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(ii)(E) below, subject to the
Optionee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting event: 
 (A) in the event that the EBIT
Target is not achieved for any particular Fiscal Year set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (other than the Final Fiscal Year as defined on Schedule 1) (any such Fiscal Year, a “Missed Year”), if the cumulative EBIT earned as of
the end of any subsequent Fiscal Year equals or exceeds the Cumulative EBIT Target (as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement) for such subsequent Fiscal Year (any such Fiscal Year, a “Catch-up Year”), then all installments of
Performance-Based Options that did not become vested in respect of any Missed Year will nevertheless become Vested Options on the same date that the installment of Performance-Based Options that otherwise vests in respect of such Catch-up Year
pursuant to this Section 4(b) (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof); 
  

 4 

 (B) upon the consummation of a Return-Based Vesting Event (as defined below), all
then-unvested Performance-Based Options shall become Vested Options concurrently with the consummation of such event; 
 (C)
upon the consummation of a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event (as defined below), a portion of the then-unvested Performance-Based Options (in the order set forth below) shall become Vested Options concurrently with the consummation of such event,
such that the total percentage of Performance-Based Options that have become Vested Options immediately after the consummation of such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event shall, after taking into account any Performance-Based Options that had become
Vested Options pursuant to any other provision of Section 4(b) prior to such Qualified Partial Liquidity Event, be equal to the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage (as defined below) (see the attached Schedule 2 for an example hereof);

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

  

 5 

 
Liquidity Event occurs; and third, any then-unvested Performance-Based Options eligible for vesting based on EBIT performance for the Fiscal Year immediately
subsequent to the Fiscal Year in which the Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs and each subsequent Fiscal Year. 
 (c) Except as
otherwise provided above with respect to a Special Termination, upon a Termination of Relationship for any reason, the unvested portion of the Option (i.e., that portion which does not constitute Vested Options) shall terminate and cease to
be outstanding on the date the Termination of Relationship occurs and shall no longer be eligible to become Vested Options, provided, however, that if upon the date the Termination of Relationship occurs, the Committee is unable to determine if the
EBIT Target for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the year in which the Termination of Relationship occurs has been met, any unvested portion of the Option that could vest based upon such determination shall not terminate until such
determination is made (and shall vest if the applicable EBIT Target is achieved in accordance with Section 4(6)(ii) above)). 
 (d)
Certain Definitions. 
 (i) A “Return-Based Vesting Event” shall be deemed to occur upon the
achievement of either of the following performance goals: (x) on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) is equal to or exceeds
22% or (y) the Sponsor Stockholders have, prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, received a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the
Sponsor Investment. 
 (ii) A “Qualified Partial Liquidity Event” shall mean any disposition, whether in an
IPO or other public offering, or any sale or other private transaction to any person or entity, of a portion of the Sponsor Investment (including any Change of Control, transfer from one Investor Group to another Investor Group, or LP Transfer (as
defined below), but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Spin-off, unless and until such shares are themselves disposed of or realized upon for cash and/or liquid or marketable equity or debt securities), or a recapitalization, resulting in
(x) on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the achievement by the Sponsor Stockholders of a Sponsor IRR (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor IRR) that would equal or exceed 22%, or
(y) prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the receipt of a Sponsor Return (or, during the Special Termination Vesting Period, the Special Termination Sponsor Return) that equals or exceeds 200% of the Sponsor Investment, in either
case, when measured with respect to such disposed or otherwise realized upon portion (and all previously liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized (in cash or marketable securities, taking into account Section 4(d)(vi)) upon portions) of
the Sponsor Investment. 
 (iii) The “Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage” shall equal the percentage of the
Sponsor Investment liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized upon in a Qualified Partial Liquidity Event; provided that, if immediately following such event, the Sponsor Stockholders have liquidated, disposed of or otherwise realized upon
80% or more of the Sponsor Investment, then the Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage shall equal 100%. 
  

 6 

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

  

 7 

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

 8 

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

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

 9 

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

 Section 9. Designation of
Beneficiary. The Optionee may appoint any individual or legal entity in writing as the Optionee’s beneficiary to receive any Option (to the extent not previously terminated or forfeited) under this Agreement upon the Optionee’s death
or Disability. The Optionee may revoke the Optionee’s designation of a beneficiary at any time and appoint a new beneficiary in writing. To be effective, the Optionee must complete the designation of a beneficiary or revocation of a beneficiary
by written notice to the Company under Section 11 of this Agreement before the date of the Optionee’s death. In the absence of a beneficiary designation, the legal representative of the Optionee’s estate shall be deemed the
beneficiary. 
 Section 10. [Intentionally Omitted.] 
 Section 11. Notices. All notices, claims, certifications, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given and delivered if personally delivered or if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier, by telecopy, email or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

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

  

 11 

 
indemnity. The Company and the Optionee shall cooperate in good faith, and consult with tax counsel to the Company, to restructure the Option and this
Agreement (which may require the provision of an alternative payment or benefit, but which shall not convey an economic benefit to the Optionee that is diminished in value to the Optionee other than in a de minimis manner) in a manner that will
cause the Optionee to not be subject to such taxes, interest and penalties in respect of the Option and this Agreement (or any such restructured arrangement). 
 Section 17. Modification of Rights; Entire Agreement. The Optionee’s rights under this Agreement and the Plan may be modified only to the extent expressly provided under this Agreement or under
Article X or Article XIV of the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan (and the other writings referred to herein, including the Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior written or oral negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect thereto. 
 Section 18. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in
each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to
such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could
be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 19. Waiver of Jury Trial; Legal Fees. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder or under any other agreement regarding any option to purchase Shares that
may be granted to the Optionee under the Plan after the date of this Agreement. In the event of any dispute regarding any term of this Option, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Optionee for all legal fees and expenses the Optionee incurs in
connection with such dispute if the Optionee prevails in such dispute on a substantial portion of the claims under such dispute. 
 Section 20. FOREFEITURE IF AGREEMENT NOT EXECUTED IN 90 DAYS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OPTION SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE AND SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID AND BE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT, AND THE OPTIONEE SHALL HAVE NO
FURTHER RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE OPTIONEE DOES NOT RETURN AN EXECUTED COUNTERPART TO THIS AGREEMENT TO THE COMPANY WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE GRANT DATE. 
  

 12 

 Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and
each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

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

  

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

  

 14 

	j)	Exclude the impact that the 53rd week of operations will have on the Company’s financial results during Fiscal 2008. 

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

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

  

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

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

 Schedule 2 
 Examples of Application of Certain Provisions of Section 4(b)(ii) 
 For ease of reference, the
following is based on the following hypothetical EBIT targets: 
 EBIT Targets 
  

							
	 Year
	  	Annual EBIT Target	  	Cumulative EBIT Target
	 First Fiscal Year
	  	$	10.00	  	 	N/A
	 Second Fiscal Year
	  	$	15.00	  	$	25.00
	 Third Fiscal Year
	  	$	20.00	  	$	45.00
	 Fourth Fiscal Year
	  	$	25.00	  	$	60.00

 Section 4(b)(ii)(A) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $8.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest. 
 Second
Fiscal Year: Annual EBIT is $16.00, Cumulative EBIT is $24.00. Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest because annual EBIT Target is achieved, Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year do not vest because Cumulative EBIT
Target is not achieved. 
 Third Fiscal Year: Annual EBIT is $25.00, Cumulative EBIT is $49.00. Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year vest
because annual EBIT is achieved; Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year also vest because Cumulative EBIT Target is achieved. 
 Section 4(b)(ii)(C) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $12.00. Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest (i.e., 25% of
all Performance-Based Options are vested). 
 Second Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest (i.e,
Optionee is still only vested in 25% of all Performance-Based Options). 
 Third Fiscal Year: A Qualified Partial Liquidity Event occurs where the
Partial Liquidity Vesting Percentage is 75%. Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest and, whether or not either of the EBIT Targets for Third Fiscal Year is achieved, the Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year will also
vest, such that the Optionee will be 75% vested in all Performance-Based Options. 
 Section 4(b)(ii)(D) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $16.00. Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest (i.e., 100% of all Performance-Based Options that were eligible to vest
in First Fiscal Year are vested). 
 Second Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for Second Fiscal Year vest (i.e., Optionee is
only 50% vested in all Performance-Based Options that were eligible to vest in First Fiscal Year and Second Fiscal Year combined). 
 Third Fiscal
Year: A Change of Control that is not a Return-Based Vesting Event occurs. 50% of the Performance-Based Options for Third Fiscal Year and Fourth Fiscal Year will become vested. 
  

 16 

 Section 4(b)(ii)(B) and (E) 
 First Fiscal Year: EBIT is $8.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year vest. 
 Second
Fiscal Year: EBIT is $14.00. No Performance-Based Options for First Fiscal Year or Second Fiscal Year vest. 
 January of Third Fiscal Year:
Optionee’s employment terminates due to Retirement. 
 August of Third Fiscal Year: A Return-Based Vesting Event occurs. All Performance-Based
Options (for First Fiscal Year through Fourth Fiscal Year) vest, even though the event occurs after the Optionee’s employment terminates, because the event occurs within 12 months after the termination of employment.

 6. Individual Maximum Amounts. The maximum annual performance
bonus payable to any Participant in respect of any fiscal year under this Plan is $4,500,000 (disregarding any appreciation during any period of deferral under Section 7(e) below). For performance periods less than 12 months, the maximum award
will be adjusted in proportion to the duration of the performance period. 
 7. ADMINISTRATION 
 (a) Committee. The Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to administer this Plan, including the interpretation of the terms hereof.
The Committee shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the Committee by officers, employees and outside professionals and experts, including ARAMARK’s financial statements. Any determination by the
Committee hereunder shall be final and binding on all Participants, their beneficiaries and the Company. 
 (b) Setting of Annual
Goals and Annual Bonus Amounts. 
 (i) The Committee shall, for each fiscal year, establish in writing the bonus amount and the
performance goal or goals for each Participant based on one or more of the performance measures listed in Section 4 above, not later than 90 days after the beginning of such fiscal year (or prior to the expiration of 25% of the performance
period, if the performance period is less than one year), so long as, at that time, the attainment of such performance goal or goals is substantially uncertain (within the meaning of Section 162(m)). The Committee may establish different
performance measures and different individual maximum amounts for each Participant. 
 (ii) Subject at all times to Section 6 above, in
connection with the foregoing, a Participant’s bonus amount may be equal to a specified share of a pre-established bonus pool. Such bonus pool may be a pre-established aggregate dollar amount, or may, to the extent in compliance with
Section 162(m), be based on the percentage of a specified performance measure (e.g., a percentage of Pretax Income). In no event will the total amount of all specified shares of any bonus pool for any given performance period exceed 100% of
such bonus pool. 

 (c) Adjustment for Extraordinary Items. The Committee shall adjust, upward or downward, to the
extent permitted by Section 162(m), the performance goals to reflect (i) a change in accounting standards or principles, (ii) a significant acquisition or divestiture, (iii) a significant capital transaction, or (iv) any
other unusual, nonrecurring items which are separately identified and quantified in ARAMARK’s audited financial statements, so long as such accounting change is required or such transaction or nonrecurring item occurs after the goals for the
fiscal year are established, and such adjustments are stated at the time that the performance goals are determined. The Committee may also adjust, upward or downward, as applicable, the performance goals to reflect any other extraordinary item or
event, so long as any such item or event is separately identified as an item or event requiring adjustment of such goals at the time the performance goals are determined, and such item or event occurs after the goals for the fiscal year are
established. In all events, any adjustments to be made to the performance goals shall be disclosed in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m).  
 (d) Negative Discretion. At the time the extent of attainment of the annual performance goals is determined by the Committee, the Committee at its
sole discretion may reduce, but may not increase, the amount of the annual performance bonus that would be otherwise payable to a Participant under this Plan. The Committee may take into consideration any and all factors relating to ARAMARK’s
and the Participant’s performance for such fiscal year. 
 (e) Payment Only Upon Attainment or Performance Goals.

 (i) An annual performance bonus shall be paid to a Participant under this Plan only in accordance with the terms of this Plan and only upon
the attainment of the annual performance goals established, adjusted and applied by the Committee for such Participant. Except as explicitly provided in this Plan, no waiver or modification of the goals may be made. The Committee shall be the sole
and exclusive arbiter of the extent, if any, to which the annual performance goals have been attained, and the amount of the annual performance bonus payable hereunder. Prior to the payment of any annual performance bonus to any Participant under
this Plan, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the annual performance goals for such Participant have been attained. 
 (ii) After Committee certification of the attainment of the performance goals, awards may be paid immediately (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the performance period ends)
or may be deferred; provided that (A) payment of any bonus award will only be made to Participants who were employed with the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the last day of the applicable performance period, and (B) the deferral of
any bonus award may only be made if (I) the Participant irrevocably elects to defer his or her award on or before the date that is six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period in respect of which the award is payable; and
(II) such Participant remains continuously employed by ARAMARK from the later of the beginning of the applicable performance period or the date the performance criteria are established in accordance with Section 7(b), through the date of such
deferral election. Awards may be in the form of cash, common shares of ARAMARK stock, restricted stock units that are settled in common shares of ARAMARK stock or a combination thereof. 

 8. Additional Terms. Unless otherwise specifically provided by this Plan or by the Committee or unless not
permitted by Section 162(m), the administrative terms of the ARAMARK Management Incentive Bonus Plan (as the same shall be in effect from time to time) (“MIB”) shall apply to bonus awards payable under this Plan, including by way of
example terms relating to such matters as the ability to defer receipt of payment of an annual performance bonus; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between this Plan and the MIB, this Plan shall govern.  
 9. Stockholder Approval. This Plan shall be effective upon its approval by the stockholders of ARAMARK. 
 10. Amendment. The Committee may, without further action by the stockholders, amend the Plan from time to time as it deems desirable; provided, that no such
amendment may increase the group of employees who may receive compensation under the Plan identified in Section 3 above, change the permitted performance measures set forth in Section 4 above, increase the maximum bonus payable under the
Plan as set forth in Section 6 above or make any other change requiring further stockholder approval under Section 162(m).  
 11.
Duration and Termination. This Plan, unless earlier terminated, shall be effective through fiscal year 2012. The board of directors may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. 
 12. Compliance with IRC Section 409A. This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (any
related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder) (“Section 409A”) and will be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. In furtherance thereof, no payments may be accelerated under this Plan other than to
the extent permitted under Section 409A. To the extent that any provision of this Plan violates Section 409A such that amounts would be taxable to a Participant prior to payment or would otherwise subject a Participant to a penalty tax
under Section 409A, such provision shall be automatically reformed or stricken to preserve the intent hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of a Participant’s termination of employment the
Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to
prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then ARAMARK shall defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to
the participant) until the date that is six months following the Participant’s termination of employment (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A) and (ii) if any other payments due to a Participant hereunder could
cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment shall be
restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Committee, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Committee shall implement the provisions of this section in good faith; provided that neither ARAMARK, nor
the Committee nor any of ARAMARK’s or its subsidiaries’ employees or representatives shall have any liability to participants with respect to this section. 
 13. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws.
