 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This
letter serves to confirm that Brickman Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Garden Acquisition Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) has engaged Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and MSD Capital, L.P.
(“MSD”) (together, the “Managers”) to provide, and the Managers hereby agree to provide, management, consulting and financial services to the Company and its direct and indirect divisions, subsidiaries, parent
entities and controlled affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”), as follows: 
 1. The Company has engaged the
Managers, and each of the Managers hereby agrees to accept such engagement, to provide to the Company Group, when and if called upon, such services as mutually agreed by the Managers and the Company, which services may include, without limitation:
(i) general executive and management services; (ii) identification, support, negotiation and analysis of acquisitions and dispositions by the Company Group; (iii) support, negotiation and analysis of financing alternatives, including,
without limitation, in connection with acquisitions, capital expenditures and refinancing of existing indebtedness; (iv) finance functions, including assistance in the preparation of financial projections and monitoring of compliance with
financing agreements; (v) human resources functions, including searching and recruiting of executives, but excluding formulation or promulgation of personnel policies or involvement in personnel decision making; and (vi) other services for
the Company Group upon which the Company and each of the Managers may agree from time to time. Commencing on the date of the Merger (as defined in the first sentence of Section 11), the Company agrees to pay to the Managers (or such
affiliate(s) as the Managers may designate) an aggregate annual fee (the “Advisory Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in The Brickman Group Ltd. LLC’s First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of
December 18, 2013) calculated based on the prior fiscal year’s Adjusted EBITDA, payable in quarterly installments in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter. KKR shall be entitled to 77.5% of the Advisory Fee and MSD shall be entitled to
22.5% of the Advisory Fee, and the Company shall pay to each of KKR and MSD its portion of the Advisory Fee in accordance with the terms hereof. Within ninety days (or such longer period of time reasonably required) after the end of each fiscal year
(commencing with the first fiscal year ending after the date of this agreement), the Company 

 
shall certify the Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding fiscal year to the Managers. The initial Advisory Fee payable to each Manager shall be prorated to reflect the portion of the current fiscal
quarter that will elapse after the Effective Date. The final quarterly Advisory Fee payable to each Manager shall be prorated to reflect the portion of the final quarter prior to the end of the term of this agreement, as applicable. 

2. From time to time the Managers may charge the Company a customary fee (a “Transaction Fee”) for services rendered in
connection with structuring and negotiating an acquisition, divestiture, recapitalization or similar transaction by or involving the Company Group. 77.5% of any Transaction Fee charged to the Company shall be charged by and payable to KKR or such
affiliate(s) of KKR as KKR may designate, and 22.5% of any such fee shall be charged by and payable to MSD or such affiliate(s) of MSD as MSD may designate. From time to time an affiliate of KKR may charge the Company a customary fee (a
“Capital Markets Fee”) for services rendered in the capacity of an underwriter, syndicator, placement agent, manager or in a similar role in connection with equity or debt financing or syndication transactions, including in
connection with any acquisition, divestiture, initial public offering or other transaction (including the acquisition of ValleyCrest and its affiliates), in each case, by or involving the Company Group. 100% of any Capital Markets Fee charged to the
Company shall be payable to KKR or such affiliate(s) of KKR as KKR may designate. The arrangements may at the discretion of the Company be reflected in separate agreements between the Company and the Managers (in connection with the Transaction Fee)
or KKR or its affiliates (in connection with the Capital Markets Fee). In addition to any fees that may be payable to the Managers under this agreement, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its affiliates to, on behalf of itself and the
other members of the Company Group (subject to paragraph 3), reimburse the Managers and their affiliates and their employees and agents, from time to time upon request, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred to the date hereof, in connection with
this retention, including travel expenses and expenses of any legal, accounting or other professional advisors to the Managers or their affiliates. The Managers may submit monthly expense statements to the Company or any other member of the Company
Group for such out-of-pocket expenses, which statements shall be payable within thirty days, other than with respect to expenses of MSD, ValleyCrest Holding Co. or any
of their affiliates relating to the period prior to the closing of the Merger (as defined below). 
 3. The Company (on behalf of itself and
the other members of the Company Group) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Company under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be borne jointly and severally by each member of the Company Group. 

4. The Company will, and will cause each member of the Company Group to, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, or to cause their
respective subsidiaries and agents to furnish, the Managers with such information (the “Information”) as the Managers reasonably believe appropriate to their engagement hereunder, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to
provide Information to MSD except to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.4(a) of the Partnership Agreement (as defined below). The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Managers will rely on the Information and on information
available from generally recognized public sources in performing the services contemplated hereunder and (ii) the Managers do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or such other information.

 6. Any advice or opinions
provided by a Manager may not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party (other than the Company Group’s legal, tax, financial or other advisors), except with the prior written consent of such Manager. 

7. The Company hereby grants the Managers and their affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the

organization of an Indemnifying Party, or by any other applicable law in effect as of the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, whichever is greater (except, with respect to any Indemnifying Party, to the
extent that such indemnification may be prohibited by the law of the place of organization of such Indemnifying Party), from and against any and all Obligations whether incurred with respect to third parties or otherwise, in any way resulting from,
arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to (A) the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a director, officer or manager of any member of the Company Group or is or was serving at the request of such entity as a director,

Obligations, in each case except for claims that may be made by members of the Company Group under the Viper Merger Agreement; provided, that indemnification is not available if such Indemnitee is guilty of fraud, a willful breach of this
Agreement or a willful illegal act and other than with respect to any Obligations of an Indemnitee arising out of any Transaction Document, to the extent that (x) such 

  
 9 

 
Indemnitee is a direct party to such Transaction Document, (y) such Obligation(s) arise due to any breach of such Transaction Document by such Indemnitee and (z) the underlying claim or
dispute relating to such breach of the Transaction Document by such Indemnitee was properly made under the terms of such Transaction Document; 
 in each
case including any and all fees, costs and Expenses (including fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professional advisers) incurred by or on behalf of any Indemnitee in asserting, exercising or enforcing any of its rights, powers,
privileges or remedies in respect of this Agreement, the Monitoring Agreement, the Syndication Agreement, the Transaction Fee Agreements or any Related Document. 

(b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable
securities or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in any Related Document, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Related Document, in each case except pursuant to the Viper Merger Agreement, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state in any Related Document a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee from and against any such Obligation to the extent that such Obligation arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in such Related Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, in an instrument duly executed by such
Indemnitee and specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such Related Document. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing,
in the event that any Proceeding is initiated by an Indemnitee or any member of the Company Group to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of such Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses (or related Obligations of such
Indemnitee) under any member of the Company Group’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents), any other agreement to which such Indemnitee and any member of the Company Group are party, any vote of directors
of any member of the Company Group, the law of incorporation or formation of any member of the Company Group or any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify such Indemnitee against all costs
and Expenses incurred by such Indemnitee or on such Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee is successful in such Proceeding, except to the extent that the court presiding over such Proceeding
determines that material assertions made by such Indemnitee in such proceeding were in bad faith. 

  
 10 

 (d) (i) Each of the Company Entities acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of
the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement, any Related Document or any Company Director Indemnity to indemnify or advance expenses to any Investor Director for the matters covered thereby shall be the primary source of indemnification and
advancement of such Investor Director in connection therewith, and any obligation on the part of any Investor Indemnitor under any Investor Indemnification Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to such Investor Director shall be secondary to
the Indemnifying Party’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that the Investor Director may collect as indemnification or advancement from the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to indemnify or advance
expenses to an Investor Director as required or contemplated by this Agreement, any Related Document or any Company Director Indemnity, and any Investor Indemnitor makes any payment to such Investor Director in respect of indemnification or
advancement of expenses under any Investor Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts, such Investor Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of such Investor Director under this Agreement, any Related
Document or any Company Director Indemnity, as the case may be, in respect of such Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts. 
 (ii) Each of the
Company Entities, each as an Indemnifying Party from time to time, agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (A) its obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Agreement, any Related Documents or any Company Director
Indemnity shall include any amounts expended by any Investor Indemnitor under the Investor Indemnification Agreements in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses to any Investor Director in connection with litigation or other
proceedings involving his or her service as a director of any member of the Company Group to the extent such amounts expended by such Investor Indemnitor are on account of any Unpaid Director Indemnity Amounts and (B) it shall not be entitled
to contribution or indemnification from, or subrogation against, any Investor Indemnitor in respect of amounts expended by it to indemnify or advance expenses to any Investor Director under this Agreement, any Related Documents or any Company
Director Indemnity. 
 (e) The rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights,
indemnities or remedies that any party or other Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise, provided that (i) to the extent that any Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by any Company Entity and by any
other Indemnitee or any insurer under a policy procured by any Indemnitee, the obligations of the Company Entity hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such other Indemnitee or insurer secondary, and (ii) none of the Company Entities
shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such other Indemnitee or insurer. 

  
 11 

 3. Contribution. 

(a) If for any reason the indemnity provided for in Section 2(a) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from
any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
(i) the relative fault of each member of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation, (ii) if such Obligation results from,
arises out of, is based upon or relates to any Transaction or any Securities Offering, the relative benefits received by each member of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or
Securities Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (b) If for any reason the
indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and such
Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the information contained in or omitted from any Related Document, which inclusion or omission resulted in the inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
therein, or which information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the relative benefits received by the members of the Company Group and their Agents, on
the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations. 

(c) For purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each member of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and of an
Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation. For purposes of
Section 3(b), the relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and of an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) whether the included or
omitted information relates to information supplied by the members of the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, or by such Indemnitee, on the other, (ii) their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct such inaccuracy, breach, default, untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, and (iii) applicable law. For purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received by each member of
the Company Group and their Agents, on the one hand, and an Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or
Securities Offering. 

  
 12 

 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such respective Section. No Indemnifying
Party shall be liable under Section 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee except to the extent and under such circumstances such Indemnifying Party would have been liable to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless such Indemnitee under the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, if such indemnity were enforceable under applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party with
respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) in connection with such Obligation and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 4.
Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) Whenever any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the assertion of a Claim against it, such
Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the Company Group in writing of the Claim (the “Notice of Claim”) with reasonable promptness after such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim; provided the
failure or delay of such Indemnitee to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to it and
it is materially injured as a result of the failure to give such Notice of Claim. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material facts known to such Indemnitee relating to such Claim and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount of
the Obligation involved if such Indemnitee has knowledge of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such an estimate. The Indemnifying Parties shall, at their expense, undertake the defense of such Claim with attorneys of their own choosing
reasonably satisfactory in all respects to such Indemnitee, subject to the right of such Indemnitee to undertake such defense as hereinafter provided. An Indemnitee may participate in such defense with counsel of such Indemnitee’s choosing at
the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Parties do not undertake the defense of the Claim within a reasonable time after such Indemnitee has given the Notice of Claim, or in the event that such Indemnitee shall in
good faith determine that the defense of any claim by the Indemnifying Parties is inadequate or may conflict with the interest of any Indemnitee (including Claims brought by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group), such Indemnitee may, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after giving notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the defense of the Claim and compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Parties. In
the defense of any 

  
 13 

 Claim against an Indemnitee, no Indemnifying Party shall, except with the prior written consent of such
Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive or other non-monetary relief or any payment of money by such Indemnitee, or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the Person or Persons asserting such Claim to such Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all liability on any of the matters that are the subject of such Claim and an acknowledgement that such Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection
with such matters. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Claim if such settlement is effected by such Indemnitee without the prior written consent of Parent (on behalf of
all Indemnifying Parties), which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In each case, each Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as an Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the
Claim, in the preparation for and the prosecution of the defense of such Claim, including making available evidence within the control of such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and persons needed as witnesses who are employed by such Indemnitee, as
the case may be, in each case as reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost, to the extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties. 

(b) An Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount requested for advances (“Notice of
Advances”). The Indemnifying Parties hereby agree to advance reasonable costs and Expenses incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any Claim (but not for any Claim initiated or brought voluntarily by an Indemnitee other than a
Proceeding pursuant to Section 2(c)) in advance of the final disposition of such Claim without regard to whether such Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such costs and expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined in a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Indemnifying Parties as authorized by this Agreement. The Indemnifying Parties shall make payment of such advances no later than 10 days after the receipt of the Notice of Advances. 

(c) An Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount of any Claim actually paid by such Indemnitee (the
“Notice of Payment”). The amount of any Claim actually paid by such Indemnitee shall bear simple interest at the rate equal to the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate as of the date of such payment plus 2% per annum, from the date
the Indemnifying Parties receive the Notice of Payment to the date on which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such Claim plus interest thereon to such Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Parties shall make indemnification payments to such
Indemnitee no later than 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Payment. 
 (d) Independent Legal Counsel. If there has not been a
Change in Control, independent legal counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of Parent 

  
 14 

 
and approved by such Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Claim is not against an Indemnitee that is an Affiliate of KKR, in which case legal
counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee against whom such Claim is made and approved by the board of directors of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If there has been a Change in Control, independent legal
counsel shall be selected by such Indemnitee and approved by Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of such independent legal counsel and indemnify such
independent legal counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement. 
 5.
Certain Covenants. 
 (a) The rights of each Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate or
instrument or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any rights of such Indemnitee to be indemnified under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, subject to Section 2(d). The rights of each Indemnitee and the obligations of
the Indemnifying Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Following the Transactions, each of the Company Entities, and each of their corporate successors, shall
implement and maintain in full force and effect any and all corporate charter and by-law (or similar organizational document) provisions that may be necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its
obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including a provision of its certificate of incorporation (or similar organizational document) eliminating liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time. So long as Parent or any other member of the Company Group maintains liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or agents of any such Person, the Indemnifying Parties
shall ensure that each Indemnitee serving in such capacity is covered by such insurance in such a manner as to provide such Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of Parent’s and the Company
Group’s then current directors and officers. 
 (b) Each of Brickman LP, Parent and the Company hereby agrees that it will not amend
(and will cause each other member of the Company Group not to amend) any Company Director Indemnity as in effect on the date hereof to alter the rights of any Investor Director in any manner that would alter any Investor Director’s rights with
respect to conduct pre-dating the date of any such amendment without the consent of the Managers. 

6. This amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement shall become effective upon the occurrence of the Viper Merger; if the Viper
Merger Agreement terminates without the occurrence of the Viper Merger, this amendment and restatement shall not become effective.

interpretation and effect, by the law of the State of New York, regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be
brought in any court of the State of New York or Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the City, County and State of New York (each, a “New York Court”), (b) waives, to the fullest extent that it
may effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such 

  
 17 

 
proceeding brought in a New York Court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in a New York Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York Court in any suit, action or proceeding and (d) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS
AGREEMENT. With respect to clause (d) of the immediately preceding sentence, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and certifies that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise,
that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the waiver contained therein, (ii) it understands and has considered the implications of such waiver, (iii) it makes such waiver voluntarily and (iv) it has
been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this Section 8. No Indemnifying Party shall seek any order of a court or other governmental authority that would prohibit or
otherwise interfere with the performance of any of the Indemnifying Parties’ advancement, indemnification and other obligations under this Agreement. 

9. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10. Successors;
Binding Effect. Each Indemnifying Party will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of such Indemnifying Party,
by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Managers and their counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that such Indemnifying Party would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other Indemnitee, but neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation
hereunder shall be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by Parent, Brickman LP or the Company without the prior written consent of the Managers. 

11. Miscellaneous. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning
or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any right or remedy hereunder upon any Person other than (i) each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and (ii) each other
Indemnitee and, with respect to the provisions of Section 5(b), the Investor Directors, all of whom are intended to be third party beneficiaries thereof. No amendment, modification, supplement or discharge of this

  
 18 

 
Agreement, and no waiver hereunder shall be valid and binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party or other Indemnitee against whom enforcement of the amendment,
modification, supplement or discharge is sought. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto or any other Indemnitee of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any party hereto or any other
Indemnitee on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, powers or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any
provisions hereof, or any rights, powers or privileges hereunder. Subject to Section 2(d) hereof, the rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, indemnities or remedies that any party or
other Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 

12. Information. Each of Brickman LP, Parent and the Company hereby consents to the Investor Directors sharing any information such
Investor Directors receive from any member of the Company Group with officers, directors, members, employees and representatives of the Managers and their respective Affiliates (other than other portfolio companies) and to the internal use by the
Managers and their respective Affiliates of any information received from any member of the Company Group, subject, however, to the Managers maintaining adequate procedures to prevent such information from being used in connection with the purchase
or sale of securities of any member of the Company Group in violation of applicable law.
