Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have advised Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs"), Goldman Sachs
Credit Partners L.P. ("GSCP") and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan" and
together with Goldman Sachs and GSCP, "we" or "us") that GS Capital Partners V
Fund, L.P., J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and Warburg
Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (together, the "Sponsors") and Joseph Neubauer
are submitting a proposal to acquire (the "Acquisition") all of the outstanding
capital stock of ARAMARK Corporation (the "Acquired Business"). You have advised
us that the Acquisition will be financed from a combination of equity
contributed by the Sponsors in cash and the rollover and/or purchase of equity
by Joseph Neubauer and certain other members of management of the Acquired
Business (the "Equity Contribution") and funded indebtedness of approximately
$6.25 billion to be incurred by the Acquired Business (1) through the sale or
placement of senior and/or subordinated debt securities (the "Securities") or,
in the event market conditions do not permit the issuance of the Securities at
the closing of the Acquisition, interim financing in lieu thereof (the "Bridge
Facility") and/or (2) under a senior credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
and/or (3) an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "A/R Facility")
and/or (4) the assumption of existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business


<PAGE>


("Existing Indebtedness"). You have consulted with Goldman Sachs and GSCP,
respectively, and JPMorgan concerning the sale of the Securities and the
structuring and syndication of the Credit Facility, the Bridge Facility and the
A/R Facility.

     Based on the information that you have provided to us to date and publicly
available information, our analysis of the current market for loans and
securities issued by entities engaged in similar industries and for transactions
of this type and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as we consider
relevant, we are pleased to inform you that, as of the date hereof, we are
highly confident that the sale and placement of the Securities and the
structuring and syndication of the Credit Facility, the Bridge Facility and the
A/R Facility can be accomplished by Goldman Sachs and GSCP, respectively, and
JPMorgan as part of the financing for the Acquisition as described above. We are
pleased to confirm that we have received approval from our respective credit
committees to deliver this letter to you.

     Obtaining financing for the Acquisition is inherently subject to
uncertainties and contingencies beyond our control; accordingly, this letter is
not a commitment to place or purchase the Securities or to place, purchase or
provide any loans under the Credit Facility or the Bridge Facility or provide
any advances under the A/R Facility, and there can be no assurance that the sale
and placement of the Securities and/or the structuring and syndication of the
Credit Facility, the Bridge Facility or the A/R Facility will in fact be
accomplished. The provision of any such commitment would be subject to
satisfactory completion of due diligence, satisfactory structure and
documentation for the Acquisition and the financing and any such commitment, if
issued by us, would be subject to satisfaction of conditions that are customary
for these types of financings of acquisitions of public companies with you or
your affiliates. In connection with this letter, we have relied without
independent verification upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial, accounting, tax and other information reviewed by us for purposes of
this letter.

     In addition, please note that Goldman Sachs, GSCP and JPMorgan do not
provide, and nothing herein shall be construed to be, accounting, tax or legal
advice.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  /s/ Goldman, Sachs & Co.
