approved by the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors. Andersen&#146;s reports on the Registrant&#146;s consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

dated November 14, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein. After reasonable efforts, the Registrant has been unable to obtain Andersen&#146;s consent to the incorporation by reference into this Registration Statement of its report with
respect to the Company&#146;s financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act of 1933 permits the Registrant to file this Registration Statement without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent
may limit recovery by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without limitation, investors may not be able to assert claims against Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, the ability of Andersen to satisfy any
claims (including claims arising from Andersen&#146;s provision of auditing and other services to the Registrant) may be limited as a practical matter due to recent events regarding Andersen. </FONT></P><P

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
Item 3.    Incorporation of
Documents by Reference.
The following
documents filed by ARAMARK Corporation (the "Company" or "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
1.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2002;
2.
Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 27, 2002;
3.
Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 16, 2002; and
4.
The descriptions of the Company's share capital contained in the Company's Registration Statements on Form 8-A filed with the Commission under Section
12(g) and Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on November 15, 2001 and on December 5, 2001, respectively, (File No. 000-33349 and File No. 001-16807), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such descriptions.
All documents filed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.
Experts
The consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule of ARAMARK Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 27, 2002 and for the fiscal year then ended, included in ARAMARK Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2002, have been incorporated by
reference in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report of KPMG LLP,
covering the September 27, 2002 financial statements, contains an explanatory paragraph which states that ARAMARK Corporation has revised the fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001 consolidated financial statements to include the transitional disclosures
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was adopted by the Company as of September 29, 2001, as well as to give effect to the two-for-one merger exchange ratio and the change in
the capital stock of the Company on
II-1
December 14, 2001. To the extent that KPMG LLP audits and reports on financial statements of ARAMARK
Corporation issued at future dates, and consents to the use of their report thereon, such financial statements also will be incorporated by reference in the registration statement in reliance upon their report and said authority.
On May 23, 2002, the Registrant announced that it had
appointed KPMG LLP to replace Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Registrant's independent public accountant. The decision to change independent public accountants was recommended by the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee and
approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors. Andersen's reports on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999 and through May 23, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of
accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report
on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant's consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 28, 2001 incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement have been audited by Andersen, as stated in its report
dated November 14, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein. After reasonable efforts, the Registrant has been unable to obtain Andersen's consent to the incorporation by reference into this Registration Statement of its report with
respect to the Company's financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act of 1933 permits the Registrant to file this Registration Statement without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent
may limit recovery by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without limitation, investors may not be able to assert claims against Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, the ability of Andersen to satisfy any
claims (including claims arising from Andersen's provision of auditing and other services to the Registrant) may be limited as a practical matter due to recent events regarding Andersen.
Item 4.    Description of Securities.
The shares of Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B-1,
Class B-2 and Class B-3 Common Stock and the right to purchase one share of Series C Preferred Stock associated with each share of Common Stock are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The shares of Class B Common Stock and the right
to purchase one share of Series C Preferred Stock associated with each share of Class B Common Stock are registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
II-2
Item
6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary
duties. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability:
•
for breach of duty of loyalty;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (unlawful dividends); or
•
for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we must indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We will also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an
indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, our by laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We maintain insurance to protect ourselves and each of our directors, officers and representatives against
any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item
9.    Undertakings.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii)  To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
II-4
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
