RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, ARAMARK Intermediate HoldCo Corporation, each of the Sponsor Stockholders, Joseph Neubauer and each of the Management Stockholders entered into the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2007 (as amended, the “Original Agreement” and such date, the “Original Date”);

WHEREAS, as of the close of business on the date of this Agreement, each Sponsor Stockholder, Joseph Neubauer and each of the Management Stockholders will own the number of Shares of the Company set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.09 of the Original Agreement, the Original Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to an agreement in writing by the Sponsor Stockholders representing sufficient shares to constitute a Majority Sponsor Vote, the Management Representative and Joseph Neubauer;

WHEREAS, the Company is currently contemplating an underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”) of Shares of its common stock; and

WHEREAS, in connection with, and effective upon, the date of completion of the IPO (the “Closing Date”), the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Original Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I

General Governance and Management

Section 1.01 [Intentionally omitted].

Section 1.02 Non-Qualifying Investor Group. (a) Each Investor Group’s right to designate and nominate an Investor Director pursuant to Section 1.05 shall cease with respect to such Investor Group from and after the first date on which the members of such Investor Group beneficially own in the aggregate a number of Shares that is less than 20% of the Original Shares owned in the aggregate by the members of such Investor Group as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (in which case, such Investor Group shall thereafter be referred to herein as a “Non-Qualifying Investor Group”).

(b) In the event that one or more Investor Groups loses its right to nominate an Investor Director as a result of becoming a Non-Qualifying Investor Group, then the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall designate an Independent Director to fill such vacancy or vacancies; provided, that if such Investor Group(s) has become a Non-Qualifying Investor Group due to Transfers of at least half of its Original Shares to one or more of the Qualifying Investor Groups in accordance with this Agreement, then such vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by an individual nominated or designated by the Qualifying Investor Group(s) that acquired such Non-Qualifying Investor Group(s)’ Shares, with such Director(s) so nominated or designated to be consented to by Joseph Neubauer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) [Intentionally omitted].

(d) In the event that an Investor Group becomes a Non-Qualifying Investor Group, each Investor Director designated or nominated by such Investor Group shall resign immediately from the Board and the parties shall take all necessary action to cause such removal at such time.

(e) Each Investor Group shall at all times have the exclusive right, subject to the next sentence, to remove any Investor Director designated or nominated by such Investor Group, and such Investor Director shall immediately resign if so removed by the applicable Investor Group (and the parties shall take all necessary action to promptly cause the removal of such Investor Director). The foregoing notwithstanding, an Investor Director may be removed from office without the consent of the Investor Group that designated or nominated such Investor Director pursuant to Section 1.02(d) hereof.

(f) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, each VCOC Stockholder shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to designate an observer (each, an “Observer”) to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of the Board, with each such Observer so designated to be consented to by Joseph Neubauer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that VCOC Stockholders shall cooperate and coordinate in good faith to keep the number of Observers at the minimum number reasonably necessary to ensure that each such VCOC Stockholder qualifies as a “Venture Capital Operating Company” (as defined in the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended). Each such Observer shall be entitled to receive all materials and reports regarding the Company that are distributed to Directors in connection with such meetings, to raise matters for consideration at such meetings and to participate in discussions occurring at such meetings; provided, however, that no such Observer shall have the right to participate in any vote, consent or other action of

 

2


the Board or any committee thereof, nor shall such Observer’s vote, consent or other action be required for any vote, consent or other action of the Board or any committee thereof, nor shall any such Observer participate in any executive session or be entitled to be present for any privileged communication from counsel if the presence of such Observer could affect the existence of such privilege and provided, further, that all materials and discussions shall be kept strictly confidential by the Observer and the VCOC Stockholders designating the applicable Observer.

(g) [Intentionally omitted].

(h) At the request of the Sponsor Stockholders (acting by Majority Sponsor Vote) or of Joseph Neubauer, the provisions relating to Board and committee composition shall be replicated with respect to Intermediate Holdings and/or Aramark.

(i) A quorum shall be present if, after due notice, a majority of the directors of the Board, including (x) at least a majority of the Investor Directors and (y) Joseph Neubauer are present, unless Joseph Neubauer waives the requirement of his presence with respect to any meeting or is incapacitated; provided that a majority of the Investor Directors shall be deemed to be present at any meeting for purposes of this Section 1.02(i) if the sum of (i) the number of Investor Directors present at such meeting and (ii) the number of Investor Directors who are not present but have waived the requirement of their presence at such meeting equals at least a majority of the Investor Directors.

Section 1.03 Committees. (a) [Intentionally omitted].

(b) [Intentionally omitted].

(c) Composition of Committees of the Board. Unless otherwise required by law, regulation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are quoted or listed for trading, all committees of the Board (including the Nominating Committee) shall consist of (i) Joseph Neubauer, so long as he serves as a Director as of such time or, in the event that he does not serve as a Director as of such time, then a Senior Manager and (ii) a number of other Directors determined by the Sponsor Stockholders by Majority Sponsor Vote and the identity of which are determined by the Nominating Committee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.03(c) to the contrary, the Nominating Committee shall consist of (x) Joseph Neubauer, so long as he serves as a Director as of such time or, in the event that he does not serve as a Director as of such time, then a Senior Manager and (y) at least two Investor Directors determined by the Sponsor Stockholders by Majority Sponsor Vote.

(d) Coordination Committee. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Coordination Committee shall be comprised as set forth in the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement. The Coordination Committee shall not be deemed to be a committee of the Board, and need not include any Directors; provided, however, that the Coordination Committee shall include Joseph Neubauer for so long as Joseph Neubauer and employees of the Company beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding Shares on a Fully-Diluted Basis and, in the event Joseph Neubauer no longer serves on the Coordination Committee, such committee shall include a Senior Manager of the Company selected by a majority vote of the Senior Managers.

(b) [Intentionally omitted].

(c) In addition to any other approval required, the Subject Companies and each Stockholder shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to, adopt or effect any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement, the Charter or the By-laws that would subject any Stockholder to materially adverse differential treatment, or to the Charter or By-laws in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall not amend, modify or supplement this Section 1.09(c), in each case without the prior written approval of (i) in the case of each affected Sponsor Stockholder, the Investor Group of which such Sponsor Stockholder is a member, and (ii) if affected, Joseph Neubauer, and (iii) if the Management Stockholders are affected, the Management Representative; provided that no change shall be

 

5

6


(b) Subject to clause (c) below and except as otherwise provided in this clause (b) with respect to Identified Corporate Opportunities, the Subject Companies and their Subsidiaries shall have no interest or expectation in, nor right to be informed of, any Corporate Opportunity, and in the event that any Investor Director, Sponsor Stockholder or Section 1.12 Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a Corporate Opportunity, such Investor Director, Sponsor Stockholder or Section 1.12 Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty (fiduciary or otherwise) or obligation to communicate or offer such Corporate Opportunity to the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or securityholders or to any other Investor Directors and shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be liable to the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or securityholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Director, officer or securityholder of the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries solely by reason of the fact that any Investor Director, Sponsor Stockholder or Section 1.12 Person acquires or seeks such Corporate Opportunity for itself, directs such Corporate Opportunity to another Person, or otherwise does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Subject Companies or their Subsidiaries or securityholders, and the Subject Companies and their Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive and renunciate any claim that such business opportunity constituted a Corporate Opportunity that should have been presented to the Subject Companies or any of their Affiliates; provided that if an opportunity is expressly communicated to a Section 1.12 Person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Subject Companies or such Subsidiary for the express purpose of causing such opportunity to be communicated to the Subject Companies or such Subsidiary (an “Identified Corporate Opportunity”), then such Section 1.12 Person shall reasonably promptly communicate the opportunity, or, in lieu thereof, the identity of the party initiating the communication and the subject of the communication, to the Board, and, upon such communication, such Section 1.12 Person shall be deemed to have satisfied his or her obligations pursuant to this Section 1.12(b) and his or her fiduciary obligations, if any, in respect of such opportunity except that such Section 1.12 Person shall otherwise keep such Identified Corporate Opportunity confidential and shall not disclose it to any other Person. For the purposes of this Agreement, (1) “Corporate Opportunity” shall include any potential transaction, investment or business opportunity or prospective economic or competitive advantage in which the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries could have any expectancy or interest; and (2) “Section 1.12 Person” shall mean any director or officer of the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries who is also a director, officer or employee of any Sponsor Stockholder or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any Sponsor Stockholder is pursuing a Corporate Opportunity, such Sponsor Stockholder will ensure that its Director designee to the Board does not participate in any discussions of the Board regarding such Corporate Opportunity, or receive information from the Company or any Affiliate with respect thereto, or vote with respect to, any such Corporate Opportunity, and the Investor Group associated with such Sponsor Stockholder shall not be entitled to exercise any rights under Section 1.09 with respect to such Corporate Opportunity.

(d) No Investor Director shall serve on the board of directors of any Restricted Firm or its subsidiaries.

ARTICLE II

Transfers

Section 2.01 Generally. (a) No Stockholder shall directly or indirectly sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any economic, voting or other rights in or to (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares or other securities of the Company, other than (i) to Permitted Transferees, (ii) in a transaction approved by the Coordination Committee in accordance with the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement, (iii) after the Closing Date, and, in each case, subject to any applicable, provisions of the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement, in a Public Offering, (iv) by Joseph Neubauer or his estate in accordance with Section 2.04, 2.07 or 2.09 hereof or (v) by a Management Stockholder in order to allow the Management Stockholder to pay any Option Price or Tax Withholding (as such terms are defined under, and in accordance with, the procedures set forth in, the Company 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”)), pursuant to stock-for-stock settlement, stock-for-taxes settlement or Net Exercise (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) (clauses (i)—(v) together, the “Permitted Transfer Provisions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement, other than in connection with a Change of Control or in a sale of Shares in a Public Offering of Shares, no Investor Stockholder shall make any Transfer of Shares to a Restricted Firm. The Company shall not record upon its books any Transfer of any securities of the Company other than as permitted by and in accordance with the Permitted Transfer Provisions, and any purported Transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void and of no effect.

(b) Post-IPO Management Sale. Notwithstanding Section 2.01(a), but subject to Section 7.14(c), following the Closing Date, a Management Stockholder may Transfer Shares of the Company, but only to the extent that such Transfer would not result in such Management Stockholder’s 2.01(b) Ownership Percentage immediately following such Transfer (the “Determination Time”) being less than the lowest of (i) the Relative Ownership Percentage owned by the Sponsor Stockholders immediately following the Determination Time, (ii) 50% from and after the date six months after such IPO until the first anniversary of such IPO, or (iii) 0% from and after the first anniversary of such IPO; provided that nothing shall restrict a Transfer by a Management Stockholder made with the approval of the Compensation Committee. “2.01(b) Ownership Percentage” means “X” divided by “Y”, where “X” is the number of Shares beneficially owned immediately after the Determination Time excluding any Shares beneficially owned through unvested options or unvested restricted stock or other Share-based award, and where “Y” is the sum of (A) the number of Shares held by a Management Stockholder as of the date of this Agreement or, if greater, as of the 90th day following the date hereof (or, in the case of a Management Stockholder that has become a Management Stockholder after the 90th day following the date hereof, the number of Shares held by such Management Stockholder as of the date such individual became a Management Stockholder or acquired in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company), plus (B) the number of Shares beneficially owned through vested unexercised stock options at the Determination Time plus (C) the number of Shares of restricted stock or other Share-based award that in any such case have vested and have not been exercised since the date of this

 

8


Agreement prior to the Determination Time and, but without duplication, the number of Shares acquired by such Management Stockholder from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Determination Time as a result of the exercise of stock options minus (D) the number of Shares sold by such Management Stockholder from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Determination Time in Public Offerings. “Relative Ownership Percentage” means a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Sponsor Stockholders in the aggregate immediately after the Determination Time and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Sponsor Stockholders in the aggregate on the date of this Agreement. Appropriate Adjustment shall be made to the foregoing calculations to take account of stock splits, combinations and similar adjustments. A Management Stockholder may elect to aggregate his or her holdings of Shares with those of any Immediate Family Member who he or she controls for purposes of calculating a combined 2.01(b) Ownership Percentage to which such Management Stockholder and Immediate Family Member will be collectively subject as well as for purposes of exercising piggy-back registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement.

Section 2.02 Compliance with Securities Laws. No Transfer of any securities of the Company otherwise permitted under this Agreement shall be made if such Transfer is not in compliance with the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws.

Section 2.03 Agreement to Be Bound. No Transfer of any securities of the Company otherwise permitted by this Agreement shall be made or be effective (and the Company shall not transfer on its books any securities) unless (i) the certificates, if any, representing such securities issued to the transferee bear the legends provided in Section 2.06 hereof, if required by such Section 2.06, and (ii) the transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company, as a condition precedent to such Transfer, an instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Board confirming that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and accepts the rights and obligations set forth hereunder; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of Sections 2.03 (i) and (ii) hereof shall not apply to any Transfers pursuant to a Public Offering or Rule 144.

Section 2.04 Permitted Transfers by Members of JN Group. From and after May 8, 2014, members of the JN Group may Transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company held by them, provided that any such Transfer (other than pursuant to the other Permitted Transfer Provisions or any Transfers involving sales into the public market) shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 2.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the second anniversary of the IPO, private sales by members of the JN Group (but not sales into the public market, Transfers to Immediate Family Members or among members of the JN Group or Transfers of the Freed-Up Shares) will require Coordination Committee approval. For purposes of the foregoing exception for sales into the public market, the volume restrictions under Rule 144 will continue to apply to the JN Group until the second anniversary of the IPO even if Joseph Neubauer is not an Affiliate of the Company prior to that

 

9


date. All sales pursuant to Rule 144 will comply with the manner of sale provisions thereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not allow for solicitations of orders for the sales; any underwritten or pre-marketed sales would need to be conducted as registered sales pursuant to the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement).

Section 2.05 [Intentionally omitted].

Section 2.06 Legends. (a) Each certificate (if certificated) evidencing securities of the Company and each instrument issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any securities of the Company (subject to the proviso in Section 2.03 hereof) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [ ], 2013, AMONG ARAMARK HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES, AND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAW. A COPY OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AND IS AVAILABLE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE AFORESAID AGREEMENT.

provided, that once a Stockholder is no longer subject to the transfer restrictions in this Agreement, such Person may request, and the Company will deliver, certificates without such a legend.

(b) Securities Act Legends. Each certificate representing Shares shall have the following legend endorsed conspicuously thereupon:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED (A) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE TRANSFER OR (B) IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OR THE RULES THEREUNDER, PROVIDED THAT THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE THE TRANSFEROR TO DELIVER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH AN EXEMPTION.

 

10


Section 2.07 Right of First Offer in the Event of Death or Disability. (a) ROFO Notice. In the event that Joseph Neubauer dies or becomes subject to a Disability, Joseph Neubauer or his estate (the “Initiating Seller”) may Transfer all or any portion of the Shares beneficially owned by Joseph Neubauer or his estate, to any Person or Persons. Other than any Transfers involving sales into the public market, the Initiating Seller shall first give written notice (the “ROFO Notice”) to the Company and to the Qualifying Sponsor Stockholders (collectively, the “ROFO Offerees”), stating that the Initiating Seller desires to make such Transfer, referring to this Section 2.07, specifying the number of Shares beneficially owned by Joseph Neubauer or his estate (the “ROFO Offer Shares”), and specifying a cash price per Share the Initiating Seller seeks to receive (the “ROFO Proposed Price”).

19


and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), as a result of, arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this Agreement, the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2006, pursuant to which RMK Acquisition Corporation merged with and into Aramark with Aramark surviving as the surviving corporation therein or any other transactions contemplated by such Agreement and Plan of Merger, any transaction to which any of the Subject Companies is a party or any other circumstances with respect to any of the Subject Companies (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of (A) any breach of the Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights and Coordination Committee Agreement by such Indemnitee or its affiliated or associated Indemnitees or other related Persons or (B) any transaction entered into after the Original Date or other circumstances existing after the Original Date with respect to which the interests of such Indemnitee or its affiliated or associated Indemnitees were adverse to the interests of any of the Subject Companies), (ii) operations of, or services provided by any of the Indemnitees to, any of the Subject Companies, or any of their Affiliates from time to time, (iii) the Investor Stockholder’s purchase and/or ownership of Shares or any other equity security of any Subject Company, or (iv) any litigation to which any Indemnitee is made a party in its capacity as a stockholder or owner of securities of any Subject Company (or party related thereto); provided that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not be available in the event that any such Indemnified Liabilities arose on account of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and further provided that, if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Subject Companies will make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 7.17, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the two provisos in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by any of the Subject Companies, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Subject Companies. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. None of the Indemnitees shall in any event be liable to any of the Subject Companies or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission suffered or taken by such Indemnitee that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. If all Sponsor Stockholders are similarly situated with respect to their interests in a matter that may be an Indemnified Liability and that is not based on a Third-Party Claim, the Sponsor Stockholders may enforce their rights pursuant to this Section 7.17 only with the consent of the Sponsor Stockholders (acting by Majority Sponsor Vote). A “Third-Party Claim” means any (i) claim brought by a Person other than the Subject Companies or any of their subsidiaries, an Investor Stockholder or any Indemnitee and (ii) any derivative claim brought in the name of the Subject Companies, or any of their respective subsidiaries, that is initiated by a Person other than a Sponsor Stockholder or any Indemnitee.
