“The percentage determined from the applicable table(s) above shall be multiplied by * used to determine the National Volume Discount payable for the Sysco fiscal year for which the * Incentive is being determined to calculate the amount of the * Incentive which amount shall be paid by Sysco within thirty (30) days of the end of the Sysco fiscal year for which the * Incentive is being determined. For Sysco’s fiscal 2014, *.

It the term of this Agreement does not end at the same time as a Sysco fiscal year end, the last Drop Size Incentive payable under this Agreement will be determined using Table 2 by comparing (i) the average drop size over the period between the end of the term and the end of the last complete Sysco fiscal year ending prior to the end of the term, with (ii) the Base Year Average Drop Size in order to determine the incentive as if it were being calculated for an entire Sysco fiscal year (the “Pro Forma Incentive”). The Pro Forma Incentive will then be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the term of this Agreement and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), to determine the final Drop Size Incentive payable for such period. ARAMARK has the right to review and verify the source of the data as well as the methodology used to determine the * used in the calculation of the Drop Size Incentive.

“The Drop Size Incentive will not be paid if the percentage of the sales dollar volume of product that is split to the sales dollar volume of product sold in full cases in the fiscal year for which the Drop Size Incentive is being calculated *. If the quantity or volume of any product contained within a case of such product is changed from the case quantity or volume of such product in effect on March 31, 2011, Sysco, following not less than fifteen (15) days prior notice to ARAMARK, may adjust the Delivery Size Incentive in an amount reasonably necessary to compensate for such pack size adjustment. The intent is that pack size changes remain revenue and cost neutral. The pack size changes shall be determined from time to time by Sysco. ARAMARK has the right to review and verify the source of the data as well as the methodology used to determine changes in pack size.”

5. A new Paragraph 10(h) is added to Section 10 to read as follows:

“(h) * Produce Incentive for ARAMARK’s 2014 Fiscal Year. Sysco will pay * which will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of produce cases with * purchased by ARAMARK during the period starting with the beginning of ARAMARK’s 2014 fiscal year and ending the day prior to the Effective Date by *. * will be paid before the end of ARAMARK’s 2014 fiscal year.”

Sysco Performance Allowance

As set forth in Section 10(c), Sysco will pay the Performance Allowance to ARAMARK, based on purchases of SYSCO^® brand products. “SYSCO^® brand products” are all products bearing trademarks or tradenames which are owned by Sysco Corporation (or one of its affiliates) or which are exclusively available in the foodservice industry to Sysco.

Calculation and Payment:

* Performance Allowance: Sysco will pay * to ARAMARK based on total purchases of SYSCO^® brand Products (“Total Brand Purchases”) in an amount equal to * of Total Brand Purchases (the “* Performance Allowance”) for all such purchases occurring after the beginning of ARAMARK’s 2014 fiscal year. The * Performance Allowance will be paid to ARAMARK * from Sysco’s corporate office by the * for which payment is being made.

*Performance Allowance: If Total Brand Purchases in any fiscal year of ARAMARK, commencing with Fiscal 2014, reach a level set forth in the table below, the percentage used to determine the total Performance Allowance (the “Allowance Percentage”) will be adjusted in accordance with the following table:

*	*
*		*
*		*
*		*
*		*
*		*
*		*

The allowance percentage set forth in the table above shall be multiplied by Total Brand Purchases for the ARAMARK fiscal year for which the * Performance Allowance is being determined. *, which amount shall be paid by Sysco within sixty (60) days of the end of the ARAMARK fiscal year for which the Additional Performance Allowance is being determined.

If the term of this Agreement does not end at the same time as a Sysco fiscal year end, the Total Brand Purchase numbers in the table above will be adjusted (the “Adjusted Table”) by multiplying each of such Total Brand Purchase numbers by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the last ARAMARK fiscal year end prior to

the end of the term of this Agreement and the end of the term of this Agreement and (ii) the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). Total Brand Purchases for the ARAMARK fiscal year in which the end of the term of this Agreement occurs will then be compared to the Adjusted Table to determine the Allowance Percentage for such fiscal year.
