~~ITEM 2~~1.06 ~~MATERIAL~~Senior ~~IMPAIRMENTS~~Secured Credit Facilities

~~The~~Overview Company previously disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 that management was evaluating improvement initiatives for portions of the Company’s Uniform and Career Apparel – Direct Marketing segment. The disclosure noted that future changes could involve changes in product offering, alternative sourcing arrangements and other cost reductions and that such actions, if initiated, could result in future adjustments to asset carrying amounts or other accounting adjustments. Management recently completed a review of the goodwill assigned to portions of the Company’s Direct Marketing segment. As a result of this review, on July 11, 2006, the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee of the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of management, concluded that a goodwill impairment charge with regard to the Company’s Uniform and Career Apparel – Direct Marketing segment was required under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company expects to record during its third fiscal quarter a non–cash pretax charge of approximately $35.0 million for the writedown of goodwill in the Uniform and Career Apparel – Direct Marketing segment (approximately $0.12 per share), which represents approximately 32% of the goodwill attributable to the Uniform and Career Apparel – Direct Marketing segment and approximately $8.0 million for adjustments to asset and liability carrying values (approximately $0.03 per share). Future cash expenditures related to these actions are estimated to be in the $2.0 to $4.0 million range. The primary reason for the goodwill impairment was the continuing decline in segment operating results, particularly in the healthcare uniform division, due to competitive pressures resulting in reduced sales and operating income. To determine the estimated goodwill charge, management estimated the fair value of the WearGuard Crest reporting unit using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology, and measured the goodwill impairment following the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The analysis included making assumptions about the future profitability and cash flows of the business, which management believes to be reasonable; however, such assumptions and the resulting estimates are subject to change in the future. The impairment charge of $35.0 million represents approximately 65% of the total goodwill attributable to the WearGuard Crest reporting unit. On July 12, 2006, the Company issued a press release describing the above–referenced charges and disclosing other information.

~~ITEM 7~~In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement with J.01P. ~~REGULATION~~Morgan FDSecurities ~~DISCLOSURE~~Inc. and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., each as joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner and co-syndication agent, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Barclays Bank plc and Wachovia Bank, National Association, each as co-documentation agent and each of the lenders named therein.

The Company is a borrower under the senior secured credit facilities on and as of the Closing Date. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company are designated to be borrowers under certain tranches of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility described above. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and, subject to a sublimit, for short-term borrowings referred to as the swingline loans.

The term loan facility consists of the following subfacilities:

A U.S. dollar denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of $3,547.0 million;

•

A yen denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of ¥5,422.0 million;

•

A euro denominated term loan consisting of separate loans to ARAMARK Holdings GmbH & Co. KG in the amount of €30.0 million and to ARAMARK GmbH in the amount of €40.0 million (ARAMARK Holdings GmbH & Co. KG and ARAMARK GmbH together, the “German Borrowers”).

The revolving credit facility consists of the following subfacilities:

•

The new senior secured credit facility provides that the Company has the right at any time to request up to $750.0 million of incremental commitments in the aggregate under one or more incremental term loan facilities and/or synthetic letter of credit facilities and/or revolving credit facilities and/or by increasing commitments under the revolving credit facility. The lenders under these facilities will not be under any obligation to provide any such incremental commitments, and any such addition of or increase in commitments will be subject to pro forma compliance with an incurrence-based financial covenant and customary conditions precedent. The Company’s ability to obtain extensions of credit under these incremental commitments is subject to the same conditions as extensions of credit under the existing credit facilities.

Interest rate and fees

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, (b) with respect to borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of the administrative agent, and (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) with respect to borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, (1) a base rate determined by reference to the prime rate of Canadian banks or (2) a BA (bankers’ acceptance) rate determined by reference to the rate offered for banker’s acceptances in Canadian dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The initial applicable margin for borrowings is, under the revolving credit facility, 2.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 1.00% with respect to base-rate borrowings and, under the term loan facilities and the synthetic letter of credit facilities, 2.125% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 1.125% with respect to base-rate borrowings. The applicable margins for borrowings under the facilities may be reduced subject to the Company’s attaining certain leverage ratios.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The Company must also pay letter of credit fees. The commitment fee rate and the letter of credit fee rate may be reduced subject to the Company’s attaining certain leverage ratios.

Prepayments

The senior secured credit agreement requires the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

50% of the Company’s annual excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) commencing with the first full fiscal year following the date of the closing of the senior secured credit facilities (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if at the time of the applicable prepayment the Company’s leverage ratio is equal to or less than certain levels specified in the senior secured credit agreement);

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of all nonordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property subject to certain exceptions (including the first $100.0 million of such proceeds following the Closing Date and the sale of receivables in connection with the receivables facility) and customary reinvestment rights; and

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, including debt incurred by any business securitization subsidiary in respect of any business securitization facility, but excluding proceeds from the receivables facility and other debt permitted under the senior secured credit agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the term loan facilities as directed by the Company. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans.

Amortization

The Company is required to repay installments on the loans under the term loan facilities in quarterly principal amounts of 0.25% of their funded total principal amount for the first six years and nine months from the Closing Date, with the remaining amount payable on the date that is seven years from the Closing Date.

Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity, six years from the Closing Date, on which day the commitments thereunder will terminate.

Principal amounts outstanding under the synthetic letter of credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity, seven years from the Closing Date, on which day the commitments thereunder will terminate.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on January 26, 2007 announcing the consummation of the Merger is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Investors have the right to cause the boards of directors and board committees of Intermediate HoldCo and the Company to be comprised of the same directors as Holdings; however, the Investors have not exercised this right.

Frederick Sutherland, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Joseph Neubauer were elected as directors of the Company, in each case by written consent of Intermediate HoldCo, the Company’s sole stockholder. The information set forth in Item 5.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

On January 26, 2007, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Joseph Neubauer. The information set forth in Section 4 of Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

In connection with the Merger, Holdings established the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to aid Holdings and its affiliates, including the Company, in increasing the personal interests of their respective employees, directors or consultants in the growth of Holdings and to reward such employees, directors or consultants for outstanding performance through the granting of incentive awards. Incentive awards under the Plan may be granted to employees or directors of, or consultants to, Holdings or one of its affiliates, including the Company, in the form of non-qualified stock options, restricted shares of common stock, the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, the fair market value of Holdings’ shares. The Plan permits the granting of awards covering 15.5% of the fully diluted equity of Holdings immediately after consummation of the Merger, of which up to 11% will be granted as options within 90 days of the consummation of the Merger, and the remainder will be granted in future years. A portion of the options under the Plan will vest solely based upon continued employment over a specific period of time (“Time Vesting Options”), and a portion of the options will vest based both upon continued employment over a specific period of time and upon the achievement of predetermined performance targets over time (“Performance Vesting Options”). Options under the plan have been, and will in the future be, awarded pursuant to a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement with Holdings (the “Option Agreement”). In connection with the merger, L. Frederick Sutherland, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Andrew C. Kerin, Executive Vice President and President Domestic Food, Hospitality and Facilities, Bart J. Colli, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Lynn B. McKee, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Ravi K. Saligram, Executive Vice President and President ARAMARK International, and Thomas J. Vozzo, Executive Vice President and President, ARAMARK Uniform and Career Apparel, who, along with Joseph Neubauer, are the Company’s “named executive officers”, received grants under the Plan of options with an exercise price of $10 per share to acquire 992,250, 706,750, 605,231, 611,875, 691,875 and 791,875 shares of common stock of Holdings, respectively. The number of options granted to each of these individuals was based upon the amount of their investment in shares of common stock of Holdings in connection with the Merger. 50% of these options are Time Vesting Options and 50% of these options are Performance Vesting Options. Copies of the Plan and the form of Option Agreement are attached as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Merger, certain members of the Company’s Executive Leadership Council (“ELC”) entered into agreements to amend (the “ELC Employment Agreement Amendments”) their existing agreements to employment and post-employment competition (the “ELC Employment Agreements”) in order to impose certain limitations on, and take certain other actions to ensure that, any payments made under any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company in which each such ELC member participates will not be subject to the potential imposition of any tax that could otherwise be imposed under new laws regarding the taxation of deferred compensation.

The ELC Employment Agreements with certain members of the President’s Council and Management Committee of the Company previously provided, among other things, that in general, if such person’s employment was terminated without cause within the three year period following a change in control, or in certain other circumstances in anticipation of a change in control, or if such person resigned with good reason or in certain other circumstances following a change in control, such person would be entitled to a cash payment equal to a multiple of one or two times such person’s base salary and target bonus (the “Change of Control Payment”) and cash severance benefits of up to 18 months of pay based on such person’s position and length of service with the Company (the “Severance Payments”). In addition to

the changes described above, the ELC Employment Agreement Amendments of members of the President’s Council and of the Management Committee also granted the Company the right to terminate all deferred compensation arrangements contained in such members’ ELC Employment Agreements in a manner intended to be compliant with the new laws regarding the taxation of deferred compensation, such that at the closing of the Merger those members received (i) an amount equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment in cash and (ii) an amount equal to the applicable Severance Payment in the form of restricted stock of Holdings, which will vest upon the earlier of 12 months following the closing of the Merger or the termination without cause by the Company or termination for good reason (as such terms are defined in the ELC Employment Agreements) by the applicable member of his or her employment with the Company. The number of shares of restricted stock of Holdings granted to L. Frederick Sutherland, Andrew C. Kerin, Bart J. Colli, Lynn B. McKee, Ravi K. Saligram and Thomas J. Vozzo was 94,500, 91,500, 86,250, 78,750, 52,500, and 78,750, respectively. The restricted stock was granted to these “named executive officers” and other members of the Management Committee of the Company pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) with Holdings. Copies of the forms of ELC Employment Agreement Amendments and Award Agreements for members of the Management Committee are attached as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws were amended and restated, effective January 26, 2007.
