			Exhibit 10.71

		




		
			Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
		

		
			This Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, dated as of __________, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), between ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the associate whose name appears on the signature page hereof and who is employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, is being entered into pursuant to the Amended and Restated ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.  The meaning of capitalized terms may be found in Section 7.
		

		
			The Company and the Associate hereby agree as follows:
		

		
			Section 1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.
		

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Confirmation of Grant.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective as of the date hereof, its grant to the Associate of Restricted Stock Units representing the right to receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock specified on the signature page hereof.  This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Restricted Stock Units are subject to, the terms of the Plan.  If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			Associate Unit Account.  The Company will establish a separate notional account for the Associate and will record in such account the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Associate pursuant to this Agreement.




		
			Section 2.Vesting and Forfeiture    
		

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Based on Continued Employment.  The Associate’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date subject to the Associate’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary through the applicable vesting date.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			Effect of a Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control occurring prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the Associate’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary from the Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control, any Restricted Stock Units which are unvested shall automatically become vested.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			Discretionary Acceleration.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units at any time and from time to time.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			Effect of Termination of Employment.  Upon termination of the Associate’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason (whether initiated by the Company or by the Associate), any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited, provided that if the Associate’s employment is terminated by reason of the Associate’s death or Disability (such termination, a “Special Termination”), the Associate’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as to the 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			 

		






 


		

			

		




			number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested on the next anniversary of the Grant Date (assuming the Associate’s employment had continued through such anniversary) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed since (x) the Grant Date, if the Special Termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, or (y) the most recent prior anniversary of the Grant Date, if the Special Termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and the denominator of which is 365.




		
			Section 3Dividend Equivalents    
		

		
			If the Company pays any cash dividend or similar cash distribution on the Company Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Associate’s account an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of the Associate’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date for such distribution times (y) the per share amount of such dividend or similar cash distribution on Company Common Stock.  Any cash amounts credited to the Associate’s account shall be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Units and shall be paid to the Associate if and when the related Settlement Date (as defined below) occurs.  If the Company makes any dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock in the form of Company Common Stock or other securities, the Company will credit the Associate’s account with that number of additional shares of Company Common Stock or other securities that would have been distributed with respect to that number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Associate’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date thereof.  Any such additional shares of Company Common Stock or other securities shall be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Units and shall be paid to the Associate if and when the related Settlement Date occurs.
		

		
			Section 4.Settlement  
		

		
			Subject to Section 8(a), promptly following the date on which a Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested, and in any event no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs (the “Settlement Date”), the Associate shall receive, without payment, one Settlement Share in respect of each such Restricted Stock Unit.
