                               ARAMARK CORPORATION
                      AGREEMENT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT AND
                           POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPETITION

This Agreement is between the undersigned individual ("Employee") and ARAMARK
CORPORATION ("ARAMARK").

                                    RECITALS

A.  ARAMARK is the leading provider of managed services to business and
    industry, private and public institutions, and the general public, in the
    following business segments: food, leisure and support services; health and
    education services; magazine and book services; and uniform services.

B.  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, annual and strategic business plans; financial plans, reports
    and systems including, profit and loss statements and other information
    regarding costs, profits, sales and the financial condition of ARAMARK and
    its business units; management development reviews, including information
    regarding the capabilities and experience of ARAMARK employees; information
    regarding ARAMARK's relationships with its clients, customers, and suppliers
    and prospective clients, customers and suppliers; and technical data and
    know-how, including policy and procedure manuals, computer programs,
    recipes, accounting forms and procedures and human resource policies and
    procedures, all of which information is not publicly disclosed and is
    considered by ARAMARK to be confidential trade secrets.

C.  Employee shall be employed in a senior management position and shall have
    access to ARAMARK's Proprietary Information, directly in the course of
    Employee's employment,

    *This Agreement covers individuals in Grade N or higher.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

    and indirectly through interaction with and presentations by other senior
    managers at the Executive Leadership Institute, Executive Corps meetings,
    President's Council meetings, Chairman's Council meetings and the like, and
    ARAMARK will encourage Employee to develop personal relationships with
    ARAMARK's clients, prospective clients and suppliers.

D.  ARAMARK will be vulnerable to unfair post-employment competition by
    Employee since Employee will have access to and knowledge of ARAMARK's
    Proprietary Information and will have a personal relationship with ARAMARK's
    clients, prospective clients and suppliers.

E.  In consideration of continued employment, the severance and other
    post-employment benefits provided for herein, Employee is willing to enter
    into this Agreement with ARAMARK as a condition of employment pursuant to
    which Employee will limit Employee's right to compete against ARAMARK
    following termination of employment on the terms set forth in this
    Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties
agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT: ARAMARK shall, in the course of employment,
provide and confide to Employee ARAMARK's Proprietary Information developed at
great expense by ARAMARK and which Employee recognizes to be unique assets of
ARAMARK's business. Employee shall not, during or after the term 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 such
Proprietary Information which is not generally known to the public or recognized
as standard practice in the industries in which ARAMARK is engaged.

ARTICLE  2.  NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT:

A.  Subject to Article 2 B below, Employee, for a period of two years following
    the voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, shall not, without
    ARAMARK's written permission, directly or indirectly, become employed by (as
    an employee, consultant or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

    otherwise), or acquire or maintain any ownership interest in any Business
    which is similar to or 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 involuntarily
    terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than good and sufficient cause,
    the term of the non-competition provision set forth herein, will be modified
    to the longer of (i) one year, (ii) the number of months Employee receives
    severance payments or (iii) the number of months Employee is entitled to
    receive severance payments pursuant to Article 5 A below. For purposes of
    this Agreement, "Business" shall be defined as a person, corporation, firm,
    partnership, joint venture or other entity.

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 business as of the effective date of termination
    or at any time during the twelve month period prior thereto. Further,
    notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Article 2 A
    above shall not limit Employee's right to engage in any business or activity
    if such business or activity is unrelated to the type of business or
    activity conducted by the business segment or segments for which Employee
    directly or indirectly provided services during the twenty-four month period
    preceding Employee's effective date of termination unless Employee otherwise
    directly or indirectly acquired knowledge of Proprietary Information for
    such business segment or segments at any time during the twenty-four month
    period preceding Employee's effective date of termination. By way of
    example, but not limitation, if Employee provided services to one of the
    business units of The ARAMARK Food and Support Services Group or The ARAMARK
    Leisure Services Group, Employee would be precluded during the applicable
    time period from being employed by any Business providing food, leisure and
    support services (irrespective of the particular ARAMARK business unit that
    employed Employee) but Employee would not be precluded from working for a
    competitor in the magazine and book distribution business or uniform rental
    business, unless Employee had acquired knowledge of Proprietary Information
    for ARAMARK's Magazine and Book Distribution business or Uniform Rental
    businesses within twenty-four months prior to termination, as a result of
    task force assignments, special projects, attendance at the Executive
    Leadership

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

    Institute, Executive Corps meetings, President's Council meetings,
    Chairman's Council meetings, and the like.

C.  Employee acknowledges that enforcement of the provisions set forth in
    this Article 2 will not unduly impair Employee's ability to obtain other
    employment following the termination (voluntary or involuntary) of
    Employee's employment with ARAMARK.

ARTICLE 3. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: Employee shall not for a period of two
years following the voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, directly
or indirectly, at any time, in any manner, induce or attempt to influence any
employees of ARAMARK to terminate their employment with ARAMARK.

ARTICLE 4. REMEDIES: Employee acknowledges that in the event of any violation by
Employee of the provisions set forth in Articles 1, 2 or 3 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 contrary to
any applicable statute, law or rule, or for any reason unenforceable as written,
such court may modify any such provisions so as to permit enforcement thereof as
modified.

ARTICLE 5.  POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:

A.  If Employee is terminated by ARAMARK for any reason other than good and
    sufficient cause, Employee shall be entitled to the following
    post-employment benefits:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

    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

            2      3      4     5     6     7     8     9    10 or more
            -      -      -     -     -     -     -     -    ----------
            9      9      10    11    12    13    14    16      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.
            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 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 plan
            provisions.

        b.  Employee's leased vehicle shall be made available to Employee
            through the Severance Pay Period at which time Employee has the
            option to either purchase the vehicle in accordance with the
            Executive Leadership Council plan then in effect or return it to
            ARAMARK.

        c.  Employee's eligibility to receive or participate in all other
            benefit and compensation plans, including, but not limited to the
            Management Incentive Bonus, Long Term Disability, Stock Unit
            Retirement and any
                                      -5-
<PAGE>

            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, participation in
            plans and programs made available solely to Executive Corps members,
            including, but not limited to the Executive Corps Medical Plan,
            shall cease as of the effective date of termination or the date
            Employee's Executive Corps membership ceases, whichever occurs
            first. Employee, however, shall have certain rights to continue the
            Executive Corps Medical Plan under COBRA.

B.  Termination for "Good and sufficient cause" shall be defined as termination
    for such things as fraud or dishonesty, willful failure to perform assigned
    duties, willful violation of ARAMARK's Business Conduct Policy, or
    intentionally working against the best interest of ARAMARK.

C.  If Employee is terminated by ARAMARK for reasons other than good and
    sufficient 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.  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 and 3 above.

E.  ARAMARK expressly reserves the rights to revoke or amend, in whole or
    in part, the severance provisions set forth in this agreement at any time,
    for any reason, provided, however, in the event Employee is terminated for
    reasons other than good and sufficient cause subsequent to such revocation
    or amendment, Employee shall be entitled to no less than the monthly
    severance payments which Employee would have received under this Agreement
    had he been terminated by ARAMARK on the date ARAMARK elected to revoke or
    amend the severance provisions.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

ARTICLE 6. 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 good
and sufficient cause, shall result in the severance and the post-employment
benefits described in Article 5 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, except for those obligations which are intended to survive
termination such as the payments to be made pursuant to retirement plans and
conversion of insurance.

ARTICLE 7.  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, and is
    entered into in consideration of the mutual undertakings of the parties and
    the cancellation of all previous agreements.

C.  The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
    Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

D.  Employee and ARAMARK acknowledge that for purposes of Article 5, Employee's
    last hire date with ARAMARK is November 11, 1985.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the parties
hereto have caused this Agreement to be signed.
