          JP Foodservice, Inc.
          9830 Patuxent Woods Drive
          Columbia, Maryland
          Attention: James L. Miller

          Dear Mr. Miller:

                    This letter is to confirm our understanding
          regarding certain matters relating to the registration,
          under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Secu-
          rities Act"), and public offering of shares of common
          stock (the "JP Stock") of JP Foodservice, Inc. ("JP") and
          certain rights of the PYA Investors (collectively, "PYA")
          under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agree-
          ment, dated as of November 22, 1994, by and among JP,
          PYA/Monarch, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
          Sara Lee Corporation, and certain other parties thereto
          (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

                    PYA hereby agrees to waive its right to receive
          45 days' prior written notice of the filing of a regis-
          tration statement by JP pursuant to Section 4 of the
          Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the regis-
          tration and sale of up to 4,000,000 shares of JP Stock in
          a primary offering pursuant to a Registration Statement
          on Form S-3 (as amended from time to time, the "Registra-
          tion Statement"), filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission on July 1, 1996 (the "JP Offering").  PYA also
          agrees to waive its "piggy-back" registration rights
          pursuant to Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agree-
          ment solely with respect to the JP Offering if PYA's
          participation in the JP Offering would, if in more than a
          de minimis amount, preclude JP from accounting for the
          acquisition of Valley Industries, Inc. (the "Valley
          Acquisition") as a "pooling-of-interests" in which case
          PYA shall not participate at all in the JP Offering.  If
          the JP Offering is not completed by September 16, 1996,
          JP agrees that it will give reasonable consideration to a
          request by PYA to delay the JP Offering until such time
          as PYA may participate in the JP Offering without affect-
          ing the ability of JP to account for the Valley Acquisi-
          tion as a "pooling-of-interests," provided that the
          determination whether to delay the JP Offering will be
          made by JP in its sole discretion.

                    PYA agrees that it will permit JP to use a Form
          S-3 to register the shares of JP Stock to be issued in
          connection with the Valley Acquisition, provided that the
          securityholders of Valley agree that they will sell such
          shares as if they were subject to the restrictions con-
          tained in Rule 145 of the Securities Act, and agrees to
          waive its notice and "piggy-back" registration rights
          pursuant to Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agree-
          ment with respect to the offering of JP Stock covered by
          such Form S-3.  JP agrees that it will use all reasonable
          efforts to close the Valley Acquisition as soon as practicable.  

                    PYA further agrees that it will not sell any
          shares of JP Stock or engage in any marketing efforts
          with respect to the sale of its shares of JP Stock during
          the period commencing five (5) days before the date the
          Registration Statement is declared effective and ending
          on the earlier of 90 days after the effectiveness of the
          Registration Statement and November 22, 1996 and that it
          (and the Sara Lee Foundation) will enter into an agree-
          ment with JP and the underwriters to such effect in the
          form attached hereto; provided, that such agreement shall
          reflect the dates set forth above and shall explicitly
          provide that it shall not prevent PYA from exercising a
          demand registration during such period or the Company
          from filing on or after October 8, 1996 a registration
          statement with respect to such demand and taking all
          necessary steps to have such registration statement ready
          to be declared effective immediately upon the termination
          of such period.  The first sentence of Section 9 of the
          Registration Rights Agreement shall not restrict PYA from
          selling JP Stock during the period beginning on the
          earlier of 90 days after effectiveness of the Registra-
          tion Statement and November 22, 1996 and ending on February 15, 
          1997.

                    In consideration for the foregoing waivers and
          agreements by PYA related to certain of its rights under
          the Registration Rights Agreement, JP hereby agrees that
          if PYA elects to exercise a demand registration right
          pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Registration Rights
          Agreement on or before February 15, 1997, JP will file a
          registration statement with respect to such demand as
          promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event more
          than seven (7) business days following receipt of notice
          from PYA.  PYA agrees that it will give reasonable con-
          sideration to a request by JP to limit the number of
          shares of JP Stock to be sold, provided that the size of
          the offering will be determined by PYA in its sole dis-
          cretion.  JP will use its best efforts to cause the
          registration statement to become effective and take all
          other actions necessary to enable PYA to offer and sell
          its shares of JP Stock commencing on November 23, 1996 or
          such other date thereafter as may be specified by PYA,
          provided that PYA remains subject to the limitations on
          any marketing efforts set forth in the preceding para-
          graph.  JP will otherwise comply with the terms of the
          Registration Rights Agreement in connection with any such
          demand.  JP further agrees to waive its rights to post-
          pone the filing of a registration statement for up to 90
          days pursuant to Section 3.02(e) of the Registration
          Rights Agreement with respect to any offering of shares
          of JP Stock as a result of the exercise by PYA of a
          demand registration right under Section 3.01 of the
          Registration Rights Agreement prior to February 15, 1997. 
          Furthermore, JP agrees that it will not issue any shares
          of JP Stock in a public offering or file any registration
          statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-
          4 or Form S-8) with respect thereto, except in connection
          with the JP Offering, during the period from the earlier
          of 90 days after the effectiveness of the Registration
          Statement and November 22, 1996 through the later of
          February 15, 1997 or, if PYA elects to exercise a demand

          Dear Sirs:

                    The undersigned understands that you and cer-
          tain other firms propose to enter into a U.S. Underwrit-
          ing Agreement and an International Underwriting Agreement
          (the "Underwriting Agreements") providing for the pur-
          chase by you and such other firms (the "Underwriters") of
          7,825,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par
          value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of JP
          Foodservice, Inc. (the "Company") and that the Underwrit-
          ers propose to reoffer the Shares to the public.

                    In consideration of the execution of the Under-
          writing Agreements by the Underwriters, and for other
          good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby
          irrevocably agrees that without the prior written consent

          offer to sell, solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell,
          grant any option to purchase, or otherwise transfer or

          ing Agreements (other than the provisions thereof which
          survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated
          prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares, you will
          release us from our obligations under this letter agreement.
