Because of the complexities of the Canadian income tax law, offerees are urged to consult their own tax advisors. This summary applies to employees of Versa Services Ltd. who are resident in Canada, who hold the purchase opportunities and Class B shares as capital property and who deal at arm's length with Versa Services Ltd. and ARAMARK for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended. With respect to the purchase opportunities, ARAMARK understands that, under current Canadian federal income tax laws: (i) no income will be recognized by the employee at the time of grant; (ii) upon exercise of a purchase opportunity, the employee must treat as a taxable benefit from employment, any excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the Class B shares received on the exercise of a purchase opportunity over the exercise price of the purchase opportunity; (iii) the employee may deduct one-quarter of the benefit in computing taxable income; and (iv) the adjusted cost base of the Class B shares acquired on the exercise of the purchase opportunity will be equal to the exercise price plus the amount of the taxable benefit realized. The adjusted cost base of the Class B shares will be computed in Canadian dollars, using the Canada-U.S. exchange rate prevailing on the date of exercise. The adjusted cost base of all Class B shares received on the exercise of a purchase opportunity will then be averaged with the adjusted cost base of other Class B shares owned by the employees; and (v) on a subsequent disposition of the Class B shares, the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of the Class B shares, plus any costs of disposition, will be treated as capital gain (or capital loss) of the employee. If Class B shares are first disposed of by the employee to raise the cash to exercise purchase opportunities, the same tax consequences as set out above will apply. In addition, the employee will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Class B shares exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of the disposed shares, plus any costs of disposition. ARAMARK understands that tendering Class B shares already owned by the holder of a purchase opportunity in order to exercise such purchase opportunity (a "stock-for-stock exercise," so called) would not be considered a disposition of such previously acquired shares and therefore would not result in the recognition of capital gain or loss by the employee. An employee electing to make a stock-for-stock exercise: (i) will be considered to have realized a taxable benefit equal to any excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the new Class B shares acquired over the exercise price of the purchase opportunity (the fair market value of the old Class B shares tendered); (ii) the employee may deduct one-quarter of the benefit in computing taxable income; (iii) the adjusted cost base of the Class B shares acquired on the exercise of the purchase opportunity will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the old Class B shares plus the amount of the taxable benefit realized (plus the amount of any cash paid on the stock-for-stock exercise of the purchase opportunity). The adjusted cost base of the Class B shares will be computed in Canadian dollars, using the Canada-U.S. exchange rate prevailing on the date of S-2 exercise. The adjusted cost base of all Class B shares received on the exercise of a purchase opportunity will then be averaged with the adjusted cost base of other Class B shares owned by the employee; and (v) on a subsequent disposition of the Class B shares, the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of the Class B shares plus any costs of disposition, will be treated as a capital gain (or capital loss) of the employee. ARAMARK further understands that it is the administrative position of Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise & Taxation ("Revenue Canada") that a taxable benefit recognized upon the exercise of a purchase opportunity is not subject to tax withholding. The Company will report to Revenue Canada the amount of the taxable benefit generated by the exercise of a purchase opportunity, and the employee is required to report that amount in his/her income tax return. If payment of a portion of the exercise price is deferred under the Deferred Payment Program, the interest paid at the time of making the deferred payment may be deductible during the year the interest is paid. Employees are urged to discuss this matter as well with their own tax advisors. S-3 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The following questions and answers have changed from those in the original Prospectus to reflect the application of Canadian federal income tax laws and Canadian securities laws: 14. Q: How do I purchase shares of Common Stock? A: To exercise an installment of your purchase opportunity and purchase shares, you must deliver to the Company, at the address which appears on the exercise form included in this Prospectus Supplement, (1) your completed exercise form and (2) payment of the aggregate purchase price. The aggregate purchase price is payable in U.S. dollars. 15. Q: How do I make payment for the purchase price? A: You may be eligible to use a combination of any of the following means to pay for the aggregate purchase price upon exercise of your purchase opportunity: (1) the ARAMARK Deferred Payment Program for up to 3/4 of the purchase price, (2) the sale of Class B shares, (3) the use of Class B shares that you currently own in a stock-for-stock exercise for up to the purchase price, and (4) by personal cheque or bank draft in U.S. dollars. 17. Q: Will the Company report to Revenue Canada the taxable benefit (if any) that I realize upon the exercise of my purchase opportunity? A: Yes. Any taxable income will be reported on a T-4 form for the year in which the purchase occurs. The purchase occurs at the time your completed exercise form and your purchase price payment are received by the Company. For example, if your exercise form and purchase price payment for the appropriate installment are received by the Company in December 1997, the taxable income will be reported on a T-4 form for 1997; and if they are received in January 1998, the taxable benefit will be reported on a T-4 form for 1998. You may wish to consult with your tax advisor when considering the time, within an installment exercise period, to exercise a purchase opportunity. 18. Not Applicable. 25. Q: How much of the purchase price payment may I defer under the Deferred Payment Program? A: You may defer payment of up to 3/4 of the purchase price for the qualifying shares you are purchasing, but only for the fourth, fifth and sixth installment of your ISPO. 31. Q: What are the anticipated Canadian income tax consequences to me for participation in the Deferred Payment Program? A: The tax consequences of exercising your stock purchase opportunity installment will not change. Generally, under current Canadian law, the interest would be deductible in the year the interest is paid. S-4 34. Q. What are the tax consequences if I sell Class B shares to raise cash to exercise my purchase opportunity? A. The sale of Class B shares is a taxable event. For a discussion of the tax treatment accorded sales of Class B shares, see "Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Supplement. The tax consequences of selling Class B shares is not affected by whether or not you use the proceeds of such sale to exercise other purchase opportunities. Taxes due from the sale of shares must be paid in addition to the taxes due on the exercise of purchase opportunities. Again, you are urged to discuss your particular situation with your tax advisor. 37. Q: What are the tax consequences if I use the stock-for-stock exercise method? A: There will be no capital gain or loss on the disposition of the old shares. The tax cost of the new shares you receive on the exercise will be equal to the tax cost of the old shares plus the amount of the taxable benefit included in your income in respect of the new shares (plus any other cash you pay towards the purchase price). This tax cost is then averaged with the tax cost of other Class B shares held by the employee. 40. Q: How much of the purchase price can be paid using the stock-for-stock exercise method? A: You may use the stock-for-stock exercise method to cover up to, but not more than, the exercise price. For example, if the exercise price for 100 shares is U.S. $8.25 per share, or U.S. $825.00, and the Appraisal Price is U.S. $20.00 per share, then you may use 41 shares that you currently own in the stock-for-stock exercise method to pay U.S. $820.00 of the exercise price, with the balance of U.S. $5.00 being paid through the other available methods. You may not use 42 shares, because 42 times U.S. $20.00 (or U.S. $840.00) exceeds the exercise price of U.S. $825.00. 44. Q: Can I have the shares registered jointly in my name and my spouse's name? A: To register Class B shares as joint tenants in your name and your spouse's name you must first transfer the Class B shares to such joint holding following exercise of the ISPO by you. Canadian securities laws generally do not permit a trade of Class B shares by Canadian-resident holders. However, the Company has obtained relief from each of the Ontario and Quebec Securities Commissions from restrictions on transfer that otherwise would apply. The relief granted by the Commissions permits Employees to transfer Class B shares to prescribed groups of persons, including their spouse (see Question 48). To register Class B shares in the names of you and your spouse as joint tenants, both you and your spouse must sign the exercise form. (Introduction to the Stockholders' Agreement.) 48. Q: May I transfer my shares of Common Stock for estate or tax planning purposes? A: Canadian securities laws generally do not permit trades of Class B shares by Canadian-resident holders. The Company has obtained certain relief from each of the Ontario and Quebec Securities Commissions from restrictions on transfer that otherwise would apply. The relief granted by the Ontario Securities Commission permits Ontario-resident employees and senior officers of Versa Services Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively called "Employees") to transfer Class B shares only to S-5 "Eligible Persons" provided it is done in compliance with the Stockholders' Agreement. Subsequent transfers of Class B shares are similarly restricted to other Eligible Persons. "Eligible Persons" are: (i) spouses of Employees, (ii) minor children of Employees, (iii) corporations controlled by Employees and/or their spouses where the Employee is an officer and director of the corporation and where all the shares of the corporation are owned at all times by any combination of the Employee, the spouse of the Employee and children of the Employee and/or the children of the Employee's spouse or the respective offspring of the children of the Employee, (iv) trusts where all the beneficiaries are any combination of the Employee, the spouse of the Employee, the children of the Employee and/or children of the Employee's spouse and the offspring of the children of the Employee, and where at least one of the trustees is the Employee, and (v) registered retirement savings plans of the Employee or Eligible Person and/or personal holding corporations of the Employee or Eligible Persons. The relief granted by the Quebec Securities Commission permits Quebec-resident holders of Class B shares to transfer Class B shares in accordance with the Stockholders' Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, you may transfer your Class B shares for estate or tax planning purposes as gifts to your spouse, child, grandchild or parent or a trust for the benefit of any of them or to a qualifying charitable organization. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, you may also make other transfers to your family members, their trusts or other entities if the transfer is approved by the Company's Board of Directors. (Section 3.01) 54. Q: Will I be able to sell shares back to the Company? A: Yes. Primarily, you will be able to sell your Class B shares to the Company in the internal market. Secondly, the Company provides an Emergency Buyback Program to accommodate certain limited instances when unanticipated emergencies arise. The Company anticipates that the combination of the internal market and the emergency buyback program should provide adequate liquidity to all management investors on an orderly and equitable basis. The Company also provides an offer-to-sell procedure for the Class B shares that could be utilized. These three methods for realizing liquidity are described more fully in the Prospectus (see Questions 56, 57, and 58). Of course, the ability of the Company to repurchase any shares is subject to the Company's continued strong operating and financial performance. (Section 3.03) The purchase price will be payable in U.S. dollars. Since the shares are valued in U.S. dollars and are purchased and sold in U.S. dollars, the currency exchange risk is borne by the employee investing. 58. Q: Will I be able to sell my Class B shares in any other way? A: The anticipated normal procedure for selling Class B shares is through the internal market. However, you could also offer a portion of your Class B shares to the Company at the current Appraisal Price of the Common Stock. The Canadian securities laws generally do not allow any sale of shares other than sales back to the Company. However, as described under Question 54 above, the Company has obtained certain relief from Canadian securities laws that would permit, in the case of Ontario-resident Employees, a sale of Class B shares to Eligible Persons and, in the case of Quebec-resident holders of Class B shares, a sale of Class B shares to a third party, provided that: (i) those Class B shares were not purchased by the Company, (ii) the transfer to such Eligible Person, in the case of Ontario-residents, and to such third party, in the case of Quebec-residents, takes place S-6 within 90 days of the offer to the Company, (iii) such transfer takes place on the same terms offered to the Company, and (iv) such Eligible Person or third party transferee, as the case may be, agrees to abide by all the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement (see Question 50 and Section 4 of the Stockholders' Agreement). Upon termination for any reason, subject to the Company's right to Call your Class B shares (see Question 59), you could offer to sell your Class B shares as described above. 70. Q: What are the terms of the installment notes? A: The Stockholders' Agreement provides for the following terms for the installment notes. Annual cash payments will equal the least of 10% of the principal, U.S. $100,000 or your highest base salary. At the end of the 10th year following termination, any remaining balance on the notes will be paid in cash. Interest will be paid semi-annually and the rate will be fixed at the U.S. Applicable Federal Rate which currently varies approximately from 5.60% to 6.21% depending upon the term of the note. (Section 1.08) The interest is subject to a withholding tax of 15%, which can be claimed as a foreign tax credit or deducted on your tax return. 72. Q: If the Company purchases my Class B shares using, in part, an installment note, will I have to pay tax on the entire gain in the first year? A: Generally, no. The purchase using a note usually will qualify for installment treatment under the Canadian income tax laws. You should be able to recognize the taxable gain in proportion to the cash payments of principal you will receive over the years if you file Revenue Canada form T2017 with your tax returns, but at a minimum you must recognize one fifth of the gain each year for five years. You should consult with your tax advisor to determine if installment sale treatment is advantageous to you and how you should report it on your tax returns. 73. Q: How will the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate affect my participation in the plan? A: The shares of ARAMARK stock are valued in U.S. dollars and you will need to pay for your stock in U.S. dollars. Any taxable benefit in the year of purchase will be calculated on the Canadian dollar equivalent of excess of the Appraisal Price at exercise over the grant price. 74. Q: Is there any Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange risk? A: Yes, there is an exchange risk representing the change in the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar between the date of purchase of the stock and the sale of the stock. If the Canadian dollar weakens as compared to the U.S. dollar, you stand to gain. If the Canadian dollar strengthens as compared to the U.S. dollar, you may lose.

You also are acknowledging that: you have full authority to sell the shares; you have received and read Form 10-K for fiscal 1997; you are under no obligation to sell; and the offer price is the most recent appraisal price, reflecting the shares' current lack of marketability and is less than it would be if the shares were publicly traded. The Board reserves the right to reduce on a pro rata basis the number of Class B shares sold by all management owners in the Internal Market, depending upon the overall number of Class B shares submitted to the Company for sale. Subject to complying with applicable laws and regulations (including SEC Rule 13e-3), the Company will not repurchase shares of Class B Common stock from any stockholder if the repurchase causes such shares to be held of record by less than 300 holders.
