In consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:
		

		
			1.    Separation from Employment.   You have resigned from your position as senior vice president of human resources at ServiceMaster, effective as of  October 3, 2018 (“Separation Date”).

You will continue to be paid your current base salary and benefits through your Separation Date in accordance with ServiceMaster’s normal payroll practices.
		

		
			2.    Severance Benefits.  In exchange for your promises as set forth in this Agreement and subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, ServiceMaster agrees to provide you with the following severance pay:

			The Monthly Salary and the Target Bonus will be aggregated as a single sum and paid in 12 equal monthly installments over a 12‐month period, starting on the first practicable payroll date after the Effective Date.
		

		
			The compensation set forth in this Agreement represents all of the amounts you will be entitled to receive from the Company and you will not be paid any other compensation or benefits.

As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means ServiceMaster’s trade secrets, proprietary information and/or other non‐public information relating to ServiceMaster’s business operations as well as private, proprietary and/or non-public information obtained by ServiceMaster from customers, suppliers, contractors, employees or other third parties.

			3

		

		

			 

		

 

		
		

		
			retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.
		

		
			8.    Non‐Compete/Non‐Solicitation/Non‐Interference.  While you remain employed by ServiceMaster and for a period of 12 months following your Separation Date, you shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as owner, stockholder, director, officer, employee, principal, agent, consultant, independent contractor, partner or otherwise), in North America or any other geographic area in which ServiceMaster or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster is then conducting business:

			d.    interfere with ServiceMaster’s relations with any of its customers, franchisees, subcontractors, consultants, suppliers or business partners.
		

		
			This Agreement is in addition to and does not supersede any other agreements prohibiting competition with ServiceMaster.  Failure to abide by this Agreement or other such agreements with the Company will give the Company (in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Company) the right, exercised in its sole and absolute discretion, to (a) suspend or cancel the payments contemplated in this Agreement and (b) obtain a refund for any such payments already made (collectively, “Company Rights”).
		

		
			9.    Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.  In the course of your employment, you were provided a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”).  The discovery of any failure by you to abide by the Code, whenever discovered, shall entitle the Company to exercise any and all of its Company Rights, including the suspension and recoupment of any payments paid or due under this Agreement and any other agreements between the parties.  Further, you acknowledge that you are not aware of any material breach of law or regulation by the Company or its subsidiaries that has not been reported to the Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel or Chief Ethics Officer of the Company
		

		
			10.    Return of ServiceMaster Property.  You agree to return to ServiceMaster all ServiceMaster property, equipment and materials, including, but not limited to, any company vehicle, any laptop computer and peripherals; any portable computing device; any telephone calling cards; keys; ServiceMaster identification card; any credit or fuel cards; and all tangible written or graphic materials (and all copies) relating in any way to ServiceMaster or its business, including, without limitations, documents, manuals, customer lists and reports, as well as all data contained on computer files, “thumb” drives, “cloud” services, or other data storage device, or home or personal computers.

			accept transfer of billing responsibility, effective as of your Separation Date, and provided that the Company shall remove from the phone any Company data and Company-installed applications.
		

		
			11.    Non‐Disparagement.    You agree that you will refrain from publicly criticizing ServiceMaster’s products and services and from otherwise making any false and malicious statements, oral or written, concerning ServiceMaster, its directors, officers, executives, subsidiaries, parent entities, and/or employees.  You agree to direct any prospective employers seeking to verify employment data to The Work Number (1‐800‐996‐7566 or www.theworknumber.com), an automated service operated by Equifax.  Nothing in this provision, however, shall be construed to prevent you from providing truthful testimony or information in response to any valid subpoena, court order, or request of any government agency or private litigant.
		

		
			12.    Severability.  You and ServiceMaster agree that to the extent that any portion of this Agreement may be held to be invalid or legally unenforceable, the remaining portions will not be affected and will be given full force and effect.
		

		
			13.    Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute or controversy between you and ServiceMaster, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be subject to The ServiceMaster We Listen Dispute Resolution Plan in effect on your Separation Date, which provides the mandatory and exclusive remedy and procedure for disputes between you and ServiceMaster.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that ServiceMaster may seek a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of a bond, in order to preserve the status quo or to enforce the covenants in this Agreement.

			Employee Stock Option Agreement
		

		
			This Employee Stock Option Agreement, dated as of ________, 20__, between ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the associate whose name appears on the signature page hereof and who is employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, is being entered into pursuant to the Amended and Restated ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The meaning of capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Agreement may be found in the Plan.
		

		
			The Company and the Associate hereby agree as follows:
		

		
			Section 1.    Grant of Options.
		

		
			(a)    Confirmation of Grant.  The Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective as of the date hereof, its grant to the Associate of Options to purchase the number of shares of Company Common Stock specified on the signature page hereof.  The Options are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options.  This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Options are subject to, the terms of the Plan.  If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
		

		
			(b)    Option Price.  Each share covered by an Option shall have the Option Price specified on the signature page hereof.
		

		
			Section 2.    Vesting and Exercisability.
		

		
			(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Section 2(b) of this Agreement, the Options shall become vested in three equal annual installments on each of the first through third anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the continuous employment of the Associate with the Company until the applicable vesting date; provided that if the Associate’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of the Associate’s death or Disability, any Options held by the Associate shall immediately vest as of the effective date of such termination.
		

		 

 

		
			(b)    Discretionary Acceleration.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting or exercisability of all or a portion of the Options, at any time and from time to time.
		

		
			(c)    Exercise.  Once vested in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Options may be exercised at any time and from time to time prior to the date such Options terminate pursuant to Section 3.  Options may only be exercised with respect to whole shares and must be exercised in accordance with Section 4.  
		

		
			Section 3.    Termination of Options.
		

		
			(a)    Normal Termination Date.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or the Plan, the Options shall terminate on the eight anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Normal Termination Date”), if not exercised prior to such date.
		

		
			(b)    Early Termination.  If the Associate’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, any Options held by the Associate that have not vested before the effective date of such termination of employment (determined without regard to any statutory or deemed or express contractual notice period) or that do not become vested on such date in accordance with Section 2 shall terminate immediately upon such termination of employment (determined without regard to any statutory or deemed or express contractual notice period) and, if the Associate’s employment is terminated for Cause, all Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall automatically terminate immediately upon such termination.  All vested Options held by the Associate following the effective date of a termination of employment (the “Covered Options”) shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (i) the one-year anniversary in the case of a termination by reason of the Associate’s death or Disability or a retirement from active service on or after the Associate reaches normal retirement age, or in the event of any other termination of employment, the three-month anniversary of the effective date of the Associate’s termination of employment (determined without regard to any deemed or express statutory or contractual notice period) (ii) the Normal Termination Date or (iii) the cancellation of the Options pursuant to Section 5(a), and if not exercised within such period the Options shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such period.
		

		 

		

			2

		

		

			 

		

 

		
			Section 4.    Manner of Exercise.  Subject to such reasonable administrative regulations as the Administrator may adopt from time to time, the exercise of vested Options by the Associate shall be pursuant to procedures set forth in the Plan or established by the Administrator from time to time and shall include the Associate specifying the proposed date on which the Associate desires to exercise a vested Option (the “Exercise Date”), the number of whole shares with respect to which the Options are being exercised (the “Exercise Shares”) and the aggregate Option Price for such Exercise Shares (the “Exercise Price”) or such other or different requirements as may be imposed by the Company.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, (i) on or before the Exercise Date the Associate shall deliver to the Company full payment for the Exercise Shares in United States dollars in cash, or cash equivalents satisfactory to the Company, in an amount equal to the Exercise Price plus any required withholding taxes or other similar taxes, charges or fees (including, if available, pursuant to a broker-assisted cashless exercise program established by the Company whereby the Associate may exercise vested Options by an exercise-and-sell procedure in which the Exercise Price (together with any required withholding taxes or other similar taxes, charges or fees) is obtained from the sale of shares in the public market) and (ii) the Company shall register the issuance of the Exercise Shares on its records (or direct such issuance to be registered by the Company’s transfer agent).  The Company may require the Associate to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise or (ii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state or non‐U.S. securities laws or any other law.
		

		
			Section 5.    Change in Control.
		

		
			(a)    Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting or other payment shall occur with respect to any stock option in connection with a Change in Control occurring prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date,  if the Administrator reasonably determines prior to the Change in Control that the Associate shall receive an “Alternative Award” meeting the requirements of the Plan; provided, however, that if within two years following a Change in Control, the Associate's employment is involuntarily (other than for Cause) terminated or the Associate resigns with Good Reason (as defined below), at a time when any portion of the Alternative Award is unvested, the unvested portion of such Alternative Award shall immediately vest in full and such Associate shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the 
		

		 

		

			3

		

		

			 

		

 

		fair market value of the stock subject to the Alternative Award on the date of termination (and, in the case of Alternative Awards that are stock options or stock appreciation rights, in excess of the exercise price or base price that the Associate would be required to pay in respect of such Alternative Award).
		

		
			(i)    Good Reason means, without the Associate’s written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events:
		

		
			a.The reduction in any material respect in the Associate’s position(s), authorities or responsibilities that they had with the Company immediately prior to the time of the Change in Control;
		

		
			b.A  material reduction in Associate’s annual rate of base salary, annual target cash bonus opportunity or target annual long-term incentive opportunity, each in effect as of immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; or
		

		
			c.A material change in the location of Associate’s location of work which will be at least more than 50 miles from their place at work at the Company immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control.
		

		
			(b)    If the Associate determines that Good Reason exists, the Associate must notify the Company in writing, within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of such grounds that the Associate determines constitutes Good Reason, or else such event shall not constitute Good Reason under the terms of the Associate’s employment.  If the Company remedies such event within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Associate may not terminate employment for Good Reason as a result of such event (the “Cure Period”).   In the event the Company does not timely remedy such event, the Associate must terminate his employment ninety (90) days following the end of the Cure Period.

			Section 6.    Miscellaneous.
		

		
			(a)    Withholding.  The Company or one of its Subsidiaries may require the Associate to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding or other similar charges or fees that may arise in connection with the grant, vesting, exercise, settlement or purchase of the Options.
		

		
			(b)    Incorporation of Forfeiture Provisions.  The Associate acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the Plan, he or she shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy and any generally applicable disgorgement or forfeiture provisions set forth in Article XIII of the Plan as of the date of this Agreement or as required by applicable law after the date of this Agreement.
		

		
			(c)    Restrictive Covenants.  In consideration of the grant of the Options, during the Associate’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Group”) and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of the Associate’s employment (whether such termination is initiated by the Associate or the Associate’s employer),  the Associate shall not (i) become employed by, operate or provide services to any business or other entity that competes with the Company Group; (ii) solicit or sell any product or service in competition with the Company Group to any person, business or other entity that is a customer of the Company Group; (iii) interfere with the Company Group’s relations with any of its customers, franchisees, subcontractors, consultants, vendors or business partners; or (iv) induce or encourage any Company Group employee to leave his/her position or to seek employment or association with any person or entity other than the Company Group.

			(e)    Authorization to Share Personal Data.  The Associate authorizes any Affiliate of the Company that employs the Associate or that otherwise has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to the Associate to divulge or transfer such personal data to the Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to the extent appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.
