 Exhibit 10.26 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement is effective as of _________, 2018 (this “Agreement”) and is between BrightView
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned director/officer of the Company (“Indemnitee”). 

Background     

The Company believes that, in order to attract and retain highly competent persons to serve as directors or in other capacities, including as
officers, it must provide such persons with adequate protection through indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their services to and activities on behalf of the Company. 

The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company and, in order
to induce the Indemnitee to serve in such capacity, the Company is willing to grant the Indemnitee the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for herein. Indemnitee is willing to so serve or continue to serve on the basis
that such rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses be provided. 
 The parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their
agreement regarding indemnification and the advancement of expenses, it being understood that this Agreement is a supplement to, and in furtherance of, the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “DGCL”), the certificate of incorporation of the Company (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the
“Certificate of Incorporation”), the bylaws of the Company (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”), vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 
 In consideration of
Indemnitee’s service to the Company and the covenants and agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Indemnification. 

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL: 

(a) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in,
as a witness or otherwise, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Company or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, including
appeals, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, fiduciary, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by
reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such capacity, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or other amounts incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of
expenses can be provided under this Agreement is incurred. 
 (b) The indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall be from and
against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
including any appeals or any claim, issue, or matter therein. 
 (c) If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of expenses incurred, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. The parties agree
that for purposes of determining such portion of the total expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled under this Section 1(c), such allocation as is certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be presumed conclusively as a
reasonable allocation. 
 (d) The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for
indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, vote of its stockholders or disinterested directors or applicable law.

  

 Section 2. Advance Payment of Expenses.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than Section 3(e)), to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on the part of Indemnitee in connection with
(including appearing at, participating in or defending) any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with an enforcement action (which shall be governed by Section 3(e)), shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any amounts advanced (without
interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to be indemnified by the Company in respect thereof. No other form of undertaking shall be required of Indemnitee other than the execution
of this Agreement. This Section 2 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 6(a). 

Section 3. Procedure for Indemnification; Notification of Claim. 

(a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company hereunder, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Company of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, or of Indemnitee’s request
for indemnification, will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights
under this Agreement. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary
to enable the Company to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. 
 (b) With respect to any action,
suit or proceeding of which the Company is so notified as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to participate in such action, suit or proceeding at its own expense. 

(c) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3, a determination, if required by applicable law,
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel selected in the manner provided in Section 3(h) in a written opinion to the
Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board
of Directors of the Company, (B) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors of the Company, or (C) if there are no such
disinterested directors or, if such disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel selected in the manner provided in Section 3(h) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Indemnitee in cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is
not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. 
 (d) Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 3(d), the determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly and in any event within 60 days following the Company’s receipt of a request for indemnification
in accordance with Section 3(a). If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected to make the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification determines that Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification, the Company will
make payment to Indemnitee of the indemnifiable amount within such 60 day period. If the determination of whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall not have been made within such 60 day period, the requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission
of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under the DGCL; provided, however, that such 60 day
period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining
or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto. 
  

  
 2 

 (e) In the event that (i) a determination is made in accordance with this
Section 3 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Company denies a request for indemnification, in whole or in part, or fails to respond to a request for indemnification or a determination of
entitlement to indemnification is not made within 60 days following receipt of a request for indemnification, (iii) payment of indemnification is not made within such 60 day period, (iv) advancement of expenses is not timely made in
accordance with Section 2 or this Section 3(e), or (v) the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding
designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such
indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 3(e) that the procedures and presumptions of
this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that a determination shall have been made in accordance with this
Section 3 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by
reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 3(e) the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, as the case may
be. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to this Section 3 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 3(e),
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a
prohibition of such indemnification under the DGCL. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within 10 days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company
under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company if, in the case of indemnification, Indemnitee is wholly successful on the underlying claims; if Indemnitee is not wholly
successful on the underlying claims, then such indemnification shall be only to the extent Indemnitee is successful on such underlying claims or otherwise as permitted by law, whichever is greater. 

(f) Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request therefor in accordance
with this Section 3. The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof in overcoming such presumption, and such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification
unless the Company overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing evidence. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a
manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to
indemnification under this Agreement. 
 (g) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in
good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their
duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, financial advisor or other expert selected with
reasonable care by or on behalf of the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 3(g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
conduct for determining whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

 (h) If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors of the Company, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the
Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or
to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent
Counsel” as defined in Section 3(i). Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve
as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court (as defined below) has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for
indemnification pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof and the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court
for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person
as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under this Agreement. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to
Section 3(e) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 

(i) For purposes of this Section 3, the following terms shall mean: 

(i) “Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is selected as provided herein and
is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (A) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters
concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (B) any other party to the action, suit or proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an
action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses, claims,
liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
 (ii) A
“Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events: 

(A) Any Person, other than the Sponsors (as defined below), is or becomes, after the date hereof, the Beneficial Owner (as defined below),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities unless the change in relative Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s securities by any
Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 

(B) During any period of 2 consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company, any director appointed by either Sponsor pursuant to any agreements between the Company and the Sponsors and any new director (other than a director designated by a person
who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in this definition) whose election by the Board of Directors of the Company or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of
at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason
to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company; 
 (C) The effective date of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Surviving Entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Surviving Entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and
with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such Surviving Entity; 

  
 4 

 (D) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the
Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and 
 (E)
There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act (as
defined below), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement. 
 For purposes of this definition, the following
terms shall have the following meanings: 
 (A)    “Exchange
Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time. 

(B)    “Person” shall have the meaning as set forth in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Person shall exclude (i) the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iii) any corporation owned,
directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company. 

(C)    “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning given to such
term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner shall exclude any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Company approving a
merger of the Company with another entity. 
 (D)    “Sponsors”
shall mean any affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and any affiliates of MSD Capital, L.P. 

(E)    “Surviving Entity” shall mean the surviving entity in a

 Section 4.
Insurance and Subrogation. 
 (a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain
a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A” or better, providing Indemnitee with coverage for any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, fiduciary, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or
arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms and policy
limits at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company. If the Company has such insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the
commencement of an action, suit or proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Company shall thereafter take
all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy. 

(b) Subject to Section 10(b), in the event of any payment by the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy. Indemnitee shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as
are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Company shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such
subrogation. 
 (c) Subject to Section 10(b), the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and ERISA excise taxes or penalties) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment of such amounts
under this Agreement or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 Section 7. Duration. This Agreement shall
continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent

after the final termination of any action, suit or proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to

agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. 

Section 8. Certain Settlement Provisions. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any
fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold his, her, its or their consent to any proposed settlement. 

Section 9. Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions (or portion thereof) of this
Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Company or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, including appeals, by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for purposes hereof,
shall include a trustee, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken
or omitted in such capacity, from and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated. 

Section 10. Contribution/Jointly Indemnifiable Claims. 

(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, contribute to the payment of all of Indemnitee’s loss and
liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, including any appeals, in an
amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances; provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to any limitation on indemnification set forth in
Section 4(c), 6 or 8. 
 (b) Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims may arise due to the service of the Indemnitee as a
director and/or officer of the Company at the request of the Indemnitee-related entities, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification
or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claim, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-related entities.
Under no circumstance shall the Company be entitled to any right of subrogation against or contribution by the Indemnitee-related entities and no right of advancement, indemnification or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-related
entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company hereunder. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-related entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or
advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the Indemnitee-related entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company, and
Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-related entities
effectively to bring suit to enforce such 

  
 7 

 
rights. The Company and Indemnitee agree that each of the Indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 10(b), entitled to enforce this

(i) The term “Indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise Indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of
the Company or at the Company’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described in this Agreement) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of
expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation (other than as a result of obligations under an insurance policy). 

(ii) The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any
action, suit or proceeding for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both the Indemnitee-related entities and the Company pursuant to the DGCL, any agreement or the certificate of incorporation,

otherwise, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. No amendment or alteration of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely
affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement. 
 Section 13. No Construction as Employment
Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained as a director of the Company or in the employ of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided under this Agreement shall continue as to the Indemnitee even though he or she may have ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise.

any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 
 Section 16. Modification and Waiver. No supplement,
modification, waiver or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision

reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

unconditionally (a) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any

Andrew Masterman 
 BrightView Landscapes, LLC 

401 Plymouth Road Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 
 Dear Andrew: 

This letter agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms of your employment with BrightView Landscapes, LLC (the
“Company” and the Company together with BrightView Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and each of the Company’s and Parent’s subsidiaries, the “Company Group”) to be
effective                , 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The purpose of this Agreement is to replace and supersede that certain employment letter
agreement by and between you and the Company, dated November 7, 2016 (the “Prior Agreement”). 
 1. Position
and Compensation: 
 a. Position. The Company will employ you in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer,
reporting to the Board (as defined below). You will also serve, without additional compensation as the Chief Executive Officer of Parent and hereby agree to serve, if so appointed, as an officer or director of any member of the Company Group, in
each case, without additional compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Board” shall mean (x) prior to an Initial Public Offering (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Brickman Parent,
L.P. (the “LPA”)), the Board of Directors of BrightView GP I LLC and (y) following an Initial Public Offering, the Board of Directors of Parent. 

b. Duties; Location. You shall have the powers, authorities, and duties of management usually vested in the office of the chief
executive officer of a corporation of a similar size and nature to the Company, subject to the legal directives of the Board in exercising its general oversight function. You shall devote your full business time and attention to the performance of
your duties hereunder and shall not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such services, either directly or indirectly; provided, that,
nothing herein shall preclude you from (i) with the prior written consent of the Board, serving on the board of directors of other for-profit companies that do not compete with the Company Group,
(ii) serving on civic or charitable boards or committees and (iii) managing personal investments, so long as all such activities described in (i) through (iii) above do not materially interfere with the performance of your duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. Your primary place of employment shall be at the Company’s office in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. 

 c. Base Salary. Your annual base salary will be $850,000 (as prorated for any
partial year of employment with the Company). The Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board or any other duly authorized committee appointed by the Board may adjust this base salary upward (but not downward) on an annual basis or at other times
as it deems appropriate (your base salary, as it may be adjusted, “Base Salary”). 
 d. Annual Bonus
Opportunity. You will be eligible to participate in the executive annual bonus plan maintained for similarly situated executives at a targeted level of 100% of Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus”) and other employee benefits
programs offered by the Company Group generally to the Company’s senior executive-level employees, in accordance with company policy and subject to the terms and conditions of such programs, which programs may from time to time, and at any
time, be amended, modified or terminated. 
 e. Retention Bonus. You will be paid a retention bonus in an amount equal to
$521,000 on the earlier of December 5, 2021 or the date on which a Change of Control (as defined in the LPA) is consummated, if you remain employed by the Company on such date. 

f. Vacation. You shall be eligible for paid vacation days each year in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as may
be in effect from time to time (as prorated to reflect any partial year of employment with the Company). 
 2.
Termination: Your employment with the Company is “at will” subject to the terms of this Agreement, as follows: 

a. Voluntary Resignation without Good Reason: Should you desire to resign from your employment with the Company without Good
Reason, you will provide the Company with sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination. Upon such resignation, you will receive only (i) accrued and unpaid Base Salary through your termination date, (ii) unused but accrued
vacation as of your termination date in accordance with company policy, (iii) any unpaid or unreimbursed business expenses incurred as of your termination date in accordance with company policy, and (iv) any benefits as provided under the
terms of any employee benefit plan of the Company Group in which you participate (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). The Company in its discretion may choose to waive all or any portion of the notice period, in which case you
will receive only the Accrued Obligations through the earlier termination date agreed upon by you and the Company, and if no agreement is reached, through your last date of employment as determined solely by the Company. 

b. Injury, Illness or Incapacity: In the event you are unable to perform your duties for the Company by reason of illness, injury
or incapacity for a continuous period of six months and you qualify for benefits under the Company Long Term Disability Plan, you may be terminated by the Company in its sole discretion as of the end of such
six-month period. In such event, you will receive only the Accrued Obligations. 
 c.
Death: In the event that you die while actively employed by the Company, the Company shall pay to your executors or administrators only the Accrued Obligations, provided, that the Company will also continue to pay your Base Salary
through the end of the month in which your death occurs. 

  
 2 

 d. Termination For Cause: Should the Company desire to terminate your employment
for Cause, it will provide you with written notice of such termination, including the grounds for such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean dishonesty, misconduct, conviction of a crime involving moral
turpitude, substance abuse, misappropriation of funds, gross neglect of your duties, or violation of your representations and obligations in paragraph 4 or 9 of this Agreement. In the event your employment is terminated for Cause, you will receive
only the Accrued Obligations. 
 e. Termination Without Cause: Should the Company desire to terminate your employment for any
reason other than, 1) for Cause, or 2) by reason of your death, injury, illness or incapacity, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to clause (viii) below: 

i. You will be entitled to a severance payment equal to your then-current annual Base Salary. Such severance payment will be paid to you in
substantially equal biweekly installments paid pursuant to the Company’s payroll practices over the one-year period following your termination date, commencing as follows: this severance payment will
commence within sixty (60) days following your termination date with the first payment being made on the first regularly scheduled payroll date that occurs after the revocation period for the release and waiver of claims described in clause
(vii) below has expired without you revoking such release and waiver of claims; provided, that if the sixty (60) day period spans two calendar years, then such payment shall not commence until the second calendar year if the portion
of such payment that would be payable within such sixty (60) day period is subject to the requirements of Section 409A (as defined below). 

ii. You will remain eligible to receive an Annual Bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which your termination occurs, payable at the time,
in the manner and in the amount (if any) that such Annual Bonus would otherwise have been paid had your employment not terminated; provided, that the amount of the bonus (if any) will be prorated to reflect the portion of the year during
which you were actually employed. 
 iii. If your employment terminates after the end of a fiscal year, but prior to the date the Annual
Bonus for such year becomes payable, you will remain eligible to receive the Annual Bonus in respect of such year, payable at the time, in the manner and in the amount (if any) that such Annual Bonus would otherwise been paid had your employment not
terminated. 
 iv. If your employment terminates within the one-year period following a Change of
Control, you will be entitled to an additional severance payment equal to your then-current annual Base Salary multiplied by your target bonus percentage (the payments provided in clauses 2(e)(i) through 2(e)(iv), as applicable, the
“Severance Payments”). This payment will be paid to you over the one-year period following your termination date in the manner described in clause (i) above. 

v. If you timely elect COBRA coverage under the Company’s then existing health plans, then the Company will pay a portion of your COBRA
premiums equal to the employer portion of the premium for active employees for you, and, where such individuals were covered immediately prior to your termination date, your eligible dependents, through the

  
 3 

 
earlier of (A) eighteen months following your termination date and (B) the date on which you become eligible for group health coverage from a new employer. The foregoing sentence does
not disqualify you from receiving benefits coverage after the time periods in subparts (A) and (B); as such sentence relates solely to the payment of COBRA premiums by the Company as described above. If payment of such portion of the COBRA
premiums could result in adverse tax consequences or penalties to the Company, then the Company may instead pay you a monthly payment equal to such portion of the COBRA premiums for the same period that the Company would otherwise have been
obligated to pay such portion. 
 vi. You will be entitled to outplacement services for a period of twelve (12) months following the
date of termination of your employment, at a level commensurate with your position in accordance with the Company’s practices as in effect from time to time, in an amount not to exceed $7,500. These services will be provided by a national firm
whose primary business is outplacement assistance, selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the above, if you accept employment with another employer, these outplacement benefits shall cease. 

vii. To the extent unvested, the Class A-2 Units held by you and scheduled to vest on
September 1, 2018 shall immediately vest. 
 viii. You agree and acknowledge that the Severance Payments and benefits provided for in
this subparagraph 2(e) are in lieu of any other severance payments or benefits under any Company severance pay plan generally applicable to the Company employees. You also agree and acknowledge that the compensation and benefits provided for in this
subparagraph 2(e) are expressly conditioned upon your (A) execution within forty-five (45) days of the date of your termination of employment and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in a
form acceptable to the Company and (B) continued compliance with the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof. 
 f. Voluntary
Resignation for Good Reason. Should you resign from your employment for Good Reason, you will be treated as if your employment had been terminated without Cause pursuant to subparagraph 2(e) above. “Good Reason” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events or conditions, unless you have expressly consented in writing thereto: (i) a material reduction in your Base Salary or target Annual Bonus opportunity; (ii) a material reduction of your duties and
responsibilities; or (iii) the Company provides you with notice that your principal office location is or will be moved to a location more than fifty (50) miles from your principal office location immediately before such notice, other than
to a location that is within the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not have Good Reason for termination unless you give written notice of termination for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after
the event giving rise to Good Reason occurs and the Company does not correct the action or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason, as set forth in your notice of termination, within thirty (30) days after the date on which
you give written notice of termination. 
 3. Termination and Equity: Regardless of the reason for termination, your
rights and obligations with respect to any equity you have been granted shall be determined and governed solely by the terms of the definitive documentation, including the award agreements, pursuant to which such equity was granted. 

  
 4 

 4. Restrictive Covenants: In consideration of this Agreement, you agree as
follows: 
 a. During your employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of that employment,
regardless of the reason for termination, you will not, within the Geographic Area (as defined below), directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, finance, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or consultant with any

purposes of assessing expansion opportunities by the Company Group, during the twenty-four (24) month period prior to your termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Geographic Area” means any state in
which the Company Group is maintaining a business office as of the date of the termination of your employment with the Company. 
 b.

disclose any such Confidential 

  
 5 

 
Information to any person for any reason whatsoever (except as your duties as an employee of the Company may require) without the prior written authorization of the Board, unless such information
is in the public domain through no fault of you or except as may be required by law. Similarly, you acknowledge and agree that during your employment with the Company you are bound by the Company’s Statement of Corporate Ethics and Code of
Business Conduct Policy as it exists at the date of this Agreement and as it may be modified or enlarged from time to time at the sole discretion of the Company. 

d. You acknowledge and agree that all Inventions, and all intellectual property rights arising therein or thereto, are and shall be the
sole and exclusive property of the Company Group. You further acknowledge and agree that any rights arising in any invention, discovery, improvement or innovation made, conceived or first actually reduced to practice by you, whether alone or jointly
with others, during the one-year period following the date of your termination of employment and relating in any way to work performed by you for the Company Group during your employment with the Company Group
(“Post-employment Inventions”), shall also be the sole and exclusive property of the Company Group. For consideration acknowledged and received, you hereby irrevocably assign, convey and set over to the Company all of your right,
title and interest in and to the Inventions and Post-employment Inventions, including without limitation all intellectual property rights arising therein or thereto. You further agree to disclose in writing to the Board any such Inventions or
Post-employment Inventions, promptly following their conception or reduction to practice. Such disclosure shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail and appropriately illustrated by sketch or diagram to convey to one skilled in the art of
which the Invention or Post-employment Invention pertains, a clear understanding of the nature, purpose, operations, and, to the extent known, the physical, chemical, biological or other characteristics of the Invention or Post-employment Invention.
You agree to execute and deliver such deeds of assignment or other documents of conveyance and transfer as the Company may request to confirm in the Company Group the ownership of the Inventions and Post-employment Inventions, without compensation
beyond that provided in this Agreement. You further agree, upon the request of the Company and at its expense, that you will execute any other instrument and document necessary or desirable in applying for and obtaining patents in the United States
and in any foreign country with respect to any Invention or Post-employment Invention. You further agree, whether or not you are then an employee or other service provider of the Company Group, to cooperate to the extent and in the manner reasonably
requested by the Company in the prosecution or defense of any claim involving a patent covering any Invention or Post-employment Invention or any litigation or other claim or proceeding involving any Invention or Post-employment Invention covered by
this Agreement, but all reasonable expenses thereof shall be paid by the Company or its designee. You shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly challenge the validity, enforceability or scope of the ownership by the
Company Group of any Invention or Post-employment Invention, including without limitation any patent issued on, or patent application filed in respect of, an Invention or Post-employment Invention. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Invention” means any invention, discovery, improvement or innovation with regard to any facet of the business of the Company Group, whether or not patentable, made, conceived, or first actually reduced to practice by you, alone or
jointly with others, in the course of, in connection with, or as a result of your employment or other service with the Company Group, including any art, method, process, machine, manufacture, design or composition of matter, or any improvement
thereof.

 e. You also acknowledge and agree that all works of authorship, in any format or medium,
and whether published or unpublished, created wholly or in part by you, whether alone or jointly with others, in the course of performing your duties for the Company Group, or while using the facilities, equipment or other resources of the Company
Group, whether or not during your work hours (“Works”), are works made for hire as defined under United States copyright law, and that the Works (and all copyrights arising in the Works) are owned exclusively by the Company. To the
extent any such Works are not deemed to be works made for hire, for consideration acknowledged and received, you hereby irrevocably assign, transfer, convey and set over to the Company, without compensation beyond that provided in this Agreement,
all right, title and interest in and to such Works, including without limitation all rights of copyright arising therein or thereto, and further agree to execute such assignments or other deeds of conveyance and transfer as the Company may request
to vest in the Company or its nominee all right, title and interest in and to such Works, including all rights of copyright arising in or related to the Works. 

f. You acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this paragraph 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of
the Company Group, and that a violation of any of those provisions will cause irreparable harm to the Company Group. You acknowledge that the Company may seek injunctive relief for your violation of such provisions. You represent that your
experience and capabilities are such that the provisions contained in this paragraph 4 will not prevent you from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as earned with the Company. 

g. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or
service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then the affected provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by
applicable law. 
 h. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend and may be assigned to any successors of the
Company and to any member of the Company Group. 
 i. To the extent permitted by law, upon receipt of any subpoena, court order or
other legal process requiring you to disclose Confidential Information, you shall give prompt prior written notice to the Company’s General Counsel in order to provide the Company reasonable opportunity to take appropriate steps to protect its
Confidential Information to the fullest extent possible. 
 j. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or impede you from
communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint with any U.S. federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement branch, agency or entity (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”) with respect to possible violations of any U.S.
federal, state or local law or regulation, or otherwise making disclosures to any Governmental Entity, in each case, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation, provided that in each case such
communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. You understand and acknowledge that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that
is made (i) in confidence to a 

  
 7 

 
federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document
filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. You understand and acknowledge further that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade
secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court
order. You do not need the prior authorization of (or to give notice to) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance are you authorized to disclose any information covered by the
Company’s attorney-client privilege or attorney work product without prior written consent of the Company. 
 5. Non-Disparagement; Cooperation: 
 a. You agree not to make any negative comments or
otherwise disparage any member of the Company Group or any of their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents or products and services and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the members of the Company Group
and their senior officers to not make negative comments or otherwise disparage you. The foregoing is subject to subparagraph 4(j) and shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, performance reviews while you are
employed, your discussing any matter in the good faith performance of your duties to the Company Group while employed (including, for example, criticizing an employee, or groups of employees, products, services, corporate policies, current or former
officers or employees, customers, suppliers, or business partners or associates in the course of performing an evaluation or performance review or for other business-related purposes), required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or
arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings). 
 b. You agree that upon the
Company’s reasonable request following your termination of employment and provided such cooperation is not adverse to your legal interests, you will use reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Company in connection with the defense
or prosecution of any claim with respect to which you may have knowledge that may be helpful to the Company that is made against or by the Company Group (other than by or against you), or in connection with any ongoing or future investigation by, or
any proceeding before, any arbitral, administrative, regulatory, self-regulatory, judicial, legislative, or other body or agency involving the Company Group. The Company will pay reasonable out-of-pocket expense (including travel expenses and the costs of counsel to the extent reasonably necessary) incurred in connection with providing such assistance. 

6. Taxes: 

a. Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, all provisions of this Agreement are intended
to be construed and interpreted to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent applicable. Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by
reference, shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A and, if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. Severance

  
 8 

 
benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and any remaining amount is
intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “separation pay” exception, to the maximum extent applicable. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A will only be paid upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by Section 409A, if you are considered a
“specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A and if payment of any amounts under this Agreement are required to be delayed for a period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Section 409A, payment of such
amounts shall be delayed as required by Section 409A and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within ten (10) days after the end of the six-month period. For purposes of
Section 409A, each payment under this Agreement is treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments is treated as the right to a series of separate payments. In no event may you, directly or indirectly, designate
the calendar year of payment. No action or failure to act pursuant to this paragraph shall subject the Company nor any affiliate thereof to any claim, liability or expense, and none of the Company nor any affiliate thereof shall have any obligation
to indemnify or otherwise protect you from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A. 
 b. Withholding.
All payments hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding taxes as required by law. The Company’s obligation to make any such payments may be satisfied by any member of the Company Group. 

7. Applicable Law; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial: ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION, CONSTRUCTION,
