Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group") and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs," and together with GS Group, the "Reporting Persons"). Goldman Sachs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group.
(2)	The 18.7403 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") of Aramark (the "Company") represent dividend equivalent rights in connection with a quarterly cash dividend on Common Stock paid by the Company, and accrued to Sanjeev K. Mehra, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, on deferred stock units (the "Deferred Shares") that were granted to Mr. Mehra in his capacity as a director of the Company, pursuant to the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). These dividend equivalent rights vest on the same schedules as the underlying Deferred Shares. The Deferred Shares, if vested, will be settled in shares of Common Stock six months following the director's departure from the board. Mr. Mehra has an understanding with GS Group pursuant to which he holds such shares for the benefit of GS Group.
(3)	GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own 6,322.0527 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, consisting of 6,252 Deferred Shares and 70.0527 dividend equivalent rights to Deferred Shares, granted to Mr. Mehra in his capacity as a director of the Company. Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, in the aggregate, 34,826,250 shares of Common Stock by reason of the direct beneficial ownership of such shares by certain investment partnerships (the "Funds") because affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member or member of the Funds. Goldman Sachs is the investment manager of certain of the Funds.
(4)	Each of the Reporting Persons and Mr. Mehra disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons or individual, as applicable, is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
