No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  Failure by Executive or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or to assert any right which Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
		

		
			14.    Governing Law; Validity.  The interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principle of conflicts of laws.  The invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
		

		
			15.    Withholding.  Any payments provided for herein shall be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by the Company from time to time under applicable Federal, state or local income or employment tax laws or similar statutes or other provisions of law then in effect.
		

		
			16.    Payments by Subsidiaries.  Executive acknowledges that one or more payments hereunder may be paid by one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries, and Executive agrees that any such payment made by such subsidiary shall satisfy the obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to (but only to the extent of) such payment.
		

		
			17.    Section 409A; Section 280G.  
		

		
			(a)    To the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit, or other similar plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; (ii) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid); (iii) subject to any shorter time periods provided in any expense reimbursement policy of the Company, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the 
		

		

		

		 


		

			-11-

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		

		
			calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iv) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures regarding such reimbursement of expenses.  In addition, with respect to any payments or benefits subject to Section 409A, reference to Executive’s “Date of Termination” (and corollary terms) with the Company shall be construed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service” (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h), as uniformly applied by the Company) with the Company.  Whenever a provision under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.  Executive’s right to receive any installment payments hereunder shall, for purposes of Section 409A, be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Any tax gross-up payment provided for under this Agreement shall in no event be paid to Executive later than the December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such taxes are remitted by Executive.
		

		
			(b)    To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement together with any payments or benefits under any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the amount of such Payments shall be reduced to the amount that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code if and only if such reduction would provide Executive with an after-tax amount greater than if there was no reduction.  Any reduction shall be done in a manner that maximizes the amount to be retained by Executive, provided that to the extent any order is required to be set forth herein, then such reduction shall be applied in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable or deliverable last reduced first; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G- 1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); (iv) payments due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) of this Section 7(b) will be next reduced prorata.
		

		
			18.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

		Exhibit A
		

		
			As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
		

		
			(a)    “Cause” means:
		

		
			(1)    a material breach by Executive of his duties and responsibilities (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is (x) demonstrably willful and deliberate on Executive’s part, (y) committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Company and (z) not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Company specifying such breach; or
		

		
			(2)    Executive’s indictment for, conviction of or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or misdemeanor involving any act of fraud, embezzlement, or dishonesty, or any other intentional misconduct by Executive that adversely and significantly affects the business affairs or reputation of the Company or an affiliated company; or
		

		
			(3)    any failure by Executive to reasonably cooperate with any investigation or inquiry into Executive’s business practices, whether internal or external, including, but not limited to Executive’s refusal to be deposed or to provide testimony at any trial or inquiry.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless he has:  (i) had ten (10) days’ written notice setting forth the reasons for the Company’s intention to terminate for Cause; (ii) had an opportunity to be heard before the Board; and (iii) received a notice of termination from the Board stating that in the opinion of a majority of the full Board (excluding Executive) that Executive is responsible for conduct of a type set forth above and specifying in reasonable detail the particulars thereof.
		

		
			(b)    “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan; provided that in the event such definition shall be modified or revised in the Stock Incentive Plan, then the definition of Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement shall be so modified or revised.
		

		
			(c)    “Disability” for purposes of this Agreement, shall be defined as the inability of Executive to have performed Executive’s material duties hereunder due to a physical or mental injury, infirmity or incapacity for one hundred eighty (180) days (including weekends and holidays) in any 365-day period.  
		

		
			(d)    “Good Reason” means, without Executive’s written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events:
		

		
			(1)    any of (i) the reduction in any material respect in Executive’s position(s), authorities or responsibilities as a president and chief executive officer of (A) prior to the Spin, a wholly owned division of a publicly traded company and (B) after the 
		

		

		

		 


		

			A-1

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		

		
			Spin, a publicly traded company, (ii) the failure of ServiceMaster to complete the Spin on or before March 31, 2019 (the “Spin Trigger”), which initial March 31, 2019 Spin Trigger date may be extended by ServiceMaster up to and including November 30, 2019, upon the prior written consent of Executive (the “Spin Trigger Extended Date”), or (iii) prior to the Spin, Executive no longer reporting directly to (A) the Chief Executive Officer of the ServiceMaster and (B) after the Spin, the board of directors of a publicly-traded company;
		

		
			(2)    a material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus, each as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; except for any reduction by not more than ten (10) percent from Executive’s highest Base Salary or Target Bonus, to the extent a ten (10) percent reduction is applied equally to all named executive officers of the Company (or prior to the Spin, ServiceMaster); 
		

		
			(3)    a material change in the location of Executive’s location of work that will be at least more than fifty (50) miles from the Company’s corporate offices as of the Effective Date; or
		

		
			(4)    any action or inaction by the Company that constitutes a material breach of the terms of this Agreement.
		

		
			If Executive determines that Good Reason exists, Executive must notify the Company in writing, within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of such grounds that Executive determines constitutes Good Reason, or such event shall not constitute Good Reason under the terms of Executive’s employment.  If the Company remedies such event within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, Executive may not terminate employment for Good Reason as a result of such event (the “Cure Period”).  In the event the Company does not timely remedy such event, Executive must terminate his employment ninety (90) days following the end of the Cure Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall “Good Reason” exist solely as a result of Executive remaining CEO of the Company immediately following the Spin.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may only resign for Good Reason under the Spin Trigger if Executive terminates employment during the earlier of (a) the later of April 2019 or the calendar month following the Spin Trigger Extended Date (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be no later than during December 2019) or (b) within thirty (30) days after an announcement by the Company that it is formally abandoning the planned Spin.
		

		
			(e)    “Stock Incentive Plan” shall mean that certain Amended and Restated ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (and any successor plan, including for these purposes the stock incentive plan for the Company after the Spin to the extent its terms govern the relevant awards).

		Exhibit F

			Release and Waiver of Claims.  In consideration of the payments and benefits to which you are entitled under the Employment Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2018, to which you and American Home Shield (the “Company”) are parties (the “Employment Agreement”), you hereby waive and release and forever discharge the Company and its parent and former parent entities, subsidiaries, divisions, limited partnerships, affiliated corporations, successors and assigns and their respective past and present directors, managers, officers, stockholders, partners, agents, employees, insurers, attorneys, and servants each in his, her or its capacity as such, and each of them, separately and collectively (collectively, “Releasees”), from any and all existing claims, charges, complaints, liens, demands, causes of action, obligations, damages and liabilities, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, whether or not mature or ripe, that you ever had and now have against any Releasee including, but not limited to, claims and causes of action arising out of or in any way related to your employment with or separation from the Company, to any services performed for the Company, to any status, term or condition in such employment, or to any physical or mental harm or distress from such employment or non-employment or claim to any hire, rehire or future employment of any kind by the Company, all to the extent allowed by applicable law.

			Limitation of Release:  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release of claims will not prohibit you from filing a charge of discrimination with the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or an equivalent state civil rights agency, but you agree and understand that you are waiving your right to monetary compensation thereby if any such agency elects to pursue a claim on your behalf.  Further, nothing in this release of claims shall be construed to waive any right that is not subject to waiver by private agreement under federal, state or local employment or other laws, such as claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits or any claims that may arise after the Effective Date.  In addition, nothing in this release of claims will be construed to affect any of the following claims, all rights in respect of which are reserved:
		

		
			(a)    Any payment or benefit set forth in this Employment Agreement;

			(d)    Vested benefits under the general Company employee benefit plans (other than severance pay or termination benefits, all rights to which are hereby waived and released);
		

		
			(e)    Any claim for unemployment compensation or workers’ compensation administered by a state government to which you are presently or may become entitled;
		

		
			(f)    Any claim that the Company has breached this release of claims; and
		

		
			(g)    Indemnification as a current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan), or inclusion as a beneficiary of any insurance policy related to your service in such capacity.

			herein is not subject to waiver by applicable law (including, without limitation, any claims arising under or related to FMLA, FLSA, and any other local, state or federal statute governing employment and/or the payment of wages and benefits), you hereby covenant and agree not to sue or otherwise seek any remedy or other form of relief against any of the Releasees relating to such claims.
		

		
			Representations.  You represent that you have been provided all benefits due under the Family and Medical Leave Act and that you have received all wages due, including overtime pay, premium pay, vacation pay, bonus pay, commissions, or other compensation, and that you have received all appropriate meals and rest breaks to which you were entitled, in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and applicable state and local law, that you have no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases, and that you have not made any report of or opposed any fraud or other wrong doing at the Company and that you have not been retaliated against for reporting or opposing any alleged fraud or other wrongdoing at the Company.
