 Exhibit 10.2 

DIRECTOR NOMINATING AGREEMENT 

THIS DIRECTOR NOMINATING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 22, 2014, by and among
Civitas Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and NMH Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NMH Investment”). 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to grant certain director nomination rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Company currently
held by NMH Investment, as provided further herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 1. Board Nomination Rights. 

(a) From and after the date of the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Company (the “Initial Public
Offering”) and until the provisions of this Section 1 cease to be effective and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the NMH Investment Majority Holders shall have the right to nominate persons for election to
the Board (each a “Nominee”) as follows: 
 (i) eight (8) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the
NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment, Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 40% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single
class; 
 (ii) seven (7) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH
Investment, Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 35% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; 

(iii) six (6) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment,
Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; 

(iv) five (5) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment,
Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 25% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; 

(v) four (4) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment,
Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 20% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; 

 (vi) three (3) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment
Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment, Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 15% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; 

(vii) two (2) of nine (9) of the directors shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment,
Vestar and Vestar’s Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 10% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class; and 

(viii) one (1) director shall be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders so long as NMH Investment, Vestar and Vestar’s
Affiliates continue to hold Voting Securities representing at least 5% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class. 

(b) The authorized number of directors on the Board shall initially be nine (9). For as long as the NMH Investment Majority Holders shall have
any nomination rights under this Section 1, the Company shall not take any action to increase or reduce the size of the Board from nine (9) without the written consent of the NMH Investment Majority Holders. If the size of the Board
is increased or reduced, then the number of directors the NMH Investment Majority Holders have the right to nominate at each level of ownership set forth in Section 1(a) shall increase or decrease ratably, so that it is equal to the
product of (i) a ratio, which is calculated by dividing the number of directors to be nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders specified in the applicable sub-paragraph of Section 1(a) by the total number of directors then
serving on the Board, multiplied by (ii) the total number of directors then serving on the Board, rounded up to the next whole number in all cases. 

(c) After the NMH Investment Majority Holders cease to have any nominations rights under this Section 1, the Board shall determine
the size (i.e., number of Board seats) of the Board in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents. 
 (d) The
representatives designated hereunder by the NMH Investment Majority Holders shall be nominated to serve as a Class I, Class II or Class III director (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation), as the case may be. The initial
term of each Class I, Class II and Class III director shall expire as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any director nominated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders hereunder to fill a vacancy on the Board shall be
designated as the same class of director as the director whose termination of services as a director created such vacancy. 
 (e) The
Company shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each director in connection with attending the meetings of the Board and any committee thereof. 

(f) At every meeting of the Board, or a committee thereof, for which directors are nominated to stand for election by stockholders of the
Company, the NMH Investment Majority Holders will have the right to select those persons to be nominated for election to the Board for each Retiring Director that was a prior Nominee of the NMH Investment Majority Holders in accordance with this
Section 1. 

  
 2 

 (g) If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or
removal of a Nominee, the NMH Investment Majority Holders shall be entitled to nominate such person’s successors in accordance with this Agreement and the Board, subject to a determination of the Board in good faith, after consultation with
outside legal counsel that such action would not constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law, shall fill the vacancy with such successor Nominee. 

(h) If a Nominee is not nominated or elected to the Board because of the Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a
nominee or for other reason is unavailable or unable to serve on the Board, the NMH Investment Majority Holders shall be entitled to nominate promptly another Nominee and the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled
pending such nomination. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at such time as NMH Investment, Vestar and
Vestar’s Affiliates hold Voting Securities representing less than 5% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, voting as a single class, the rights of NMH Investment under this Section 1 shall
terminate automatically and cease to have any further force and effect. 
 2. Company Obligations. 

(a) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assure that (i) each Nominee is included in the Board’s slate
of nominees for each election of directors and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with
respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the
Board. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be nominated for election to
the Board or recommend to the stockholders the election of any Nominee (i) who fails to submit to the Company on a timely basis such questionnaires as the Company may reasonably require of its directors generally and such other information as
the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of its filings under the Securities Laws or (ii) if the Board or the Nominating Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such
action would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties, applicable law or the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements or violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of
either (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly notify the NMH Investment Majority Holders of the occurrence of such event and permit the NMH Investment Majority Holders to provide an alternate Nominee sufficiently in advance of any
Board action, meeting of the stockholders called or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2(a) with
respect to such alternate Nominee (provided that if the Company provides at least 45 days advance notice of the occurrence of any such event such alternative Nominee must be designated by the NMH Investment Majority Holders not less
than 30 days in advance of any Board action, notice of meeting of the stockholders or written action 

  
 3 

 
of stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2(a) with respect to such
alternate Nominee, provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to postpone, reschedule or delay any scheduled meeting of the stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees. 

(c) At any time a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Nominee, then the Board, or any committee
thereof, shall not fill such vacancy until the earliest to occur of (i) the NMH Investment Majority Holders have nominated a successor Nominee and the Board has filled the vacancy and appointed such successor Nominee, (ii) the NMH
Investment Majority Holders fail to nominate a successor Nominee within 60 Business Days after receiving notification of the vacancy from the Company, and (iii) the NMH Investment Majority Holders have specifically waived their rights under
this Section 2(c).

 Exhibit 10.5 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of September 22, 2014, is effective as of
September 17, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), and is made between Bruce F. Nardella (“Officer”), and Civitas Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Employer”). 

WHEREAS, Officer has been employed by the Employer in the role of President and Chief Executive Officer; 

WHEREAS, Officer and Employer are parties to that certain Employment Agreement dated as of December 16, 2013 (the “Prior
Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to enter into this Agreement, which shall amend and restate the
Prior Agreement in its entirety, and shall supersede the Noncompetition Agreement as set forth in Section 19 hereof, and which shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties, in each case as of the Effective Date. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties
agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. Employer agrees to continue to employ Officer, and Officer agrees to continue such employment, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for an initial term of three years commencing on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ending on January 1, 2017. After the initial term
has expired, this Agreement will renew automatically on the anniversary date of each year for a one year term. If either party desires not to renew the Agreement, they must provide the other party with written notice of their intent not to renew the
Agreement at least sixty (60) days prior to the next anniversary date. 
 2. Position and Duties of Officer. Officer will
continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Employer reporting to Employer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Officer agrees to serve in such position, or in such other positions of a similar status or level
as the Board determines from time to time, and to perform the commensurate duties that the Board may assign from time to time to Officer until the expiration of the term or such time as Officer’s employment with Employer is terminated pursuant
to this Agreement. 
 3. Time Devoted and Location of Officer. 

(a) Subject to Section 3(c), Officer will devote his full business time and energy to the business affairs and interests of
Employer, and will use his reasonable best efforts and abilities to promote Employer’s interests. Officer agrees that he will diligently endeavor to perform services contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with his position and in
accordance with the policies established by the Employer and provided to Officer from time to time. 
 (b) Officer’s primary business
office and normal place of work will be located in Boston, Massachusetts or such other location deemed appropriate. 

 (c) Officer may serve as an officer, director, agent or employee of any direct or indirect
subsidiary or other affiliate of Employer, but may not serve as an officer, director, agent or employee of any other business enterprise without the written approval of the Board; provided, that Officer may serve in any capacity with any
civic, educational or charitable organization, or any governmental entity or trade association, without seeking or obtaining such written approval of the Board, if such activities and services do not materially interfere or conflict with the
performance of Officer’s duties under this Agreement. 
 4. Compensation. 

(a) Base Salary. Employer will pay Officer a base salary in the amount of $575,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), which
amount will be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll schedule less appropriate withholdings for federal and state taxes and other deductions authorized by Officer. Such salary will be subject to review and adjustment by Employer
from time to time. 
 (b) Bonuses. Employer shall establish a bonus plan for each fiscal year (the “Plan”) pursuant
to which Officer will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Bonus”). The Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the Plan and establish performance objectives for each year in consultation with
Officer, subject to the terms of the Plan, but with a bonus target of 100% of Officer’s Base Salary. The Bonus shall be paid to the Officer in a single lump sum no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the applicable fiscal year ended. 
 (c) Benefits. Officer will be eligible to participate in all benefit plans to the same
extent as they are made available to other senior officers of Employer. Officer will receive separate information detailing the terms of the benefit plans and the terms of such plans will control. Officer also will be eligible to participate in any
annual incentive plan applicable to Officer by its terms. 
 5. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Employer will reimburse
Officer promptly for all reasonable travel, entertainment, parking, business meetings and similar expenditures in pursuance and furtherance of Employer’s business upon receipt of reasonably supporting documentation as required by
Employer’s policies applicable to its officers and employees generally. For all purposes of this Agreement, (including without limitation under this Section 5), any expense reimbursements made (or any in-kind benefits provided) to
Officer in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount that may be reimbursed in any other calendar year and a reimbursement or in-kind benefit (or right thereto) may not be exchanged or liquidated for another benefit or payment. Any
reimbursement subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which Officer incurs such expense. 
 6. Termination. 

(a) Termination Due to Resignation Without Good Reason, Termination with Cause, or Non-Renewal of Agreement by Officer. Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement, Officer’s employment, and Officer’s rights to receive compensation and benefits from Employer, will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) the effective date of Officer’s resignation without Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(c) below); or

  
 2 

 (ii) termination for “Cause” at the discretion of Employer under
any of the following circumstances: (A) the commission by the Officer of an act of fraud or embezzlement, (B) the indictment or conviction of the Officer for (x) a felony or (y) a crime involving moral turpitude or a plea by
Officer of guilty or nolo contendere involving such a crime (to the extent such crime results in an adverse effect on the business or reputation of Employer), (C) the willful misconduct by the Officer in the performance of Officer’s
duties, including any willful misrepresentation or willful concealment by Officer on any report submitted to Employer (or any of its securityholders or subsidiaries) that is other than de minimis, (D) the violation by Officer of a written
Employer policy regarding substance abuse, sexual harassment, discrimination or any other material written policy of Employer regarding employment, (E) the willful failure of the Officer to render services to Employer or any of its subsidiaries
in accordance with Officer’s employment which failure amounts to a material neglect of the Officer’s duties to Employer or any of its subsidiaries, (F) the failure of the Officer to comply with reasonable directives of the Board
consistent with the Officer’s duties or (G) the material breach by Officer of any of the provisions of any agreement between Officer, on the one hand, and Employer or a securityholder or an affiliate of Employer, on the other hand.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) above, Officer’s termination of employment with Employer shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until (X) Officer has
been provided written notice of Employer’s intention to terminate his employment for Cause and the specific facts relied on, (Y) Officer has been provided ten (10) business days from the receipt of such notice to cure any such conduct
or omission giving rise to a termination for Cause, and (Z) Officer does not cure any such conduct or omission within such ten-day period; or 

(iii) the expiration of the term of the Agreement, if Officer notifies Employer of his non-renewal of the term of the Agreement
(or an extension thereof) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1 hereof. 
 Officer may resign his employment without
Good Reason at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice of resignation to Employer. 
 If Officer is terminated pursuant to
this Section 6(a), in addition to any earned but unpaid amounts to which Officer is entitled under any of Employer’s benefit plans, the payment of which shall be governed by the applicable plan documents, Employer’s only
remaining financial obligation to Officer under this Agreement will be to pay any earned but unpaid base salary, any earned but unpaid bonus for any completed full year prior to the year of such termination and accrued but unpaid vacation and
reimbursable travel and entertainment expenses through the date of Officer’s termination (collectively, “Accrued Obligations”). Any Accrued Obligations 

  
 3 

 
attributable to earned but unpaid bonus shall be paid to the Officer in a single lump sum no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year
in which the bonus was earned ended, and any other Accrued Obligations under this Section 6(a) shall be paid to the Officer no later than 74 days following his Separation from Service (as defined below) from the Employer (or at such
earlier time as applicable law requires). 
 (b) Termination Without Cause or Non-Renewal of Agreement by Employer. Employer may
terminate this Agreement without Cause (as defined in Section 6(a)(ii) above) at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Officer. If Employer terminates this Agreement without Cause, Employer may direct Officer
to cease providing services immediately. In addition, Employer may notify Officer of Employer’s non-renewal of the term of the Agreement (or an extension thereof) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1 hereof, in which
case the Agreement and Officer’s employment hereunder will cease as of the expiration of the term of the Agreement. If Employer terminates this Agreement without Cause, or notifies Officer of non-renewal pursuant to Section 1 hereof,
subject to Officer signing a separation agreement containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Employer and related persons and entities in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Employer (the
“Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the date of Officer’s Separation from Service, Employer shall: 

(i) With respect to the Accrued Obligations, pay any earned but unpaid bonus to the Officer in a single lump sum no later than
March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which the bonus was earned ended, and pay all other Accrued Obligations to the Officer no later than 74 days following his Separation from Service from the
Employer (or at such earlier time as applicable law requires); 
 (ii) Continue to pay Officer the Base Salary in effect at
the time of his Separation from Service, in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll practices, for a period of two years; 

(iii) Pay Officer an additional monthly amount equal to $2,000 in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll
practices, for a period of two years; 
 (iv) On or before the last day of each of the two full calendar years following the
date of the Officer’s Separation from Service, pay Officer an amount equal to Officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which such termination occurs; and 

(v) Pay Officer a pro rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs based on Employer’s actual performance as
of the date of termination, such bonus to be paid in a single lump sum no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which the Officer’s Separation from Service occurred ended,
provided, however that no such pro rata bonus will be paid if the Officer’s termination occurs in the first six months of such fiscal year. 

  
 4 

 The amounts payable under Subsections (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall be paid out in accordance
with the Company’s payroll practice commencing within 60 days after the Officer’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments shall
begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Officer’s
Separation from Service. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(2). 

In the event such termination without Cause occurs prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated
Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), and, within six months following such termination, a Sale of the Company occurs, then, subject to the Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within
60 days of Officer’s Separation from Service, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 of the Officer’s Management Unit Subscription Agreement (the “MUSA”) pursuant to which Officer’s Class H Units
(the “H Units”) were granted under that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014, Officer’s H Units that remain outstanding and
unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately upon such termination and shall instead remain outstanding until the six-month anniversary of such termination, such that, in the event that a Sale of the
Company occurs prior to such six-month anniversary, all such outstanding H Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of Section 2.5 of the MUSA pursuant to which the Officer’s H Units were granted. In the event that a Sale of the
Company does not occur prior to the end of such six-month anniversary, the Officer’s unvested H Units shall immediately expire. 
 In the event such
termination without Cause occurs prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), and, within six months
following such termination, a Sale of the Company occurs, then, subject to the Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within 60 days of Officer’s Separation from Service, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5
of the Officer’s MUSA pursuant to which Officer’s Class F Units (the “F Units”) were granted under that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of
September 16, 2014, Officer’s F Units that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately upon such termination and shall instead remain outstanding until the six-month
anniversary of such termination, such that, in the event that a Sale of the Company occurs prior to such six-month anniversary, all such outstanding F Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of Section 2.5 of the MUSA pursuant to which
the Officer’s F Units were granted. In the event that a Sale of the Company does not occur prior to the end of such six-month anniversary, the Officer’s unvested F Units shall immediately expire. 

In the event such termination without Cause occurs within six months prior to or 24 months after the consummation of a Change in Control (as such term is
defined in Employer’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, dated as of August 25, 2014 (the “2014 plan”)), then, subject to the 

  
 5 

 
Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within 60 days of Officer’s Separation from Service, Officer’s then-outstanding Awards (as defined in the 2014 Plan) that would have
vested in accordance with their terms solely based upon continued employment, shall not expire upon such termination and shall instead vest in full upon such termination or, if applicable, shall vest in full upon a Change in Control that occurs
within six months following such termination. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which such Awards are not assumed by the applicable successor entity, Officer shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of all such then-outstanding Awards
whereby such Awards shall, as applicable, be fully exercisable, any vesting conditions or restrictions shall lapse, and such Awards shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. 

No other benefits or compensation will be paid or provided to Officer if he is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(b) unless otherwise provided
for in the terms of the applicable plan or agreement. 
 (c) Termination by Officer for Good Reason. Officer may terminate this
Agreement, and his employment with Employer, for “Good Reason” upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a change by Employer in Officer’s title, duties and responsibilities which is materially inconsistent with
Officer’s position in Employer, (ii) a material reduction in Officer’s annual base salary or annual bonus opportunity, provided that any reduction of up to ten percent (10%) of Officer’s salary or bonus
opportunity that is part of a plan to reduce compensation of comparably situated employees of Employer generally shall not be considered a “material reduction in Officer’s annual base salary or annual bonus opportunity” hereunder,
(iii) a material breach by Employer of this Agreement, or (iv) the relocation of the Officer’s principal place of work from its current location to a location that is beyond a 50-mile radius of such current location. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Officer shall only have Good Reason to terminate employment if Officer gives notice, in writing, to the Employer of the act or omission which is alleged to constitute Good Reason within 90 days of the
initial occurrence thereof, and Employer fails to remedy such act or omission within thirty (30) days following Employer’s receipt of written notice from Officer specifying such act or omission. 

If Officer terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, subject to Officer signing the Separation Agreement and Release, and the Separation Agreement and
Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the date of Officer’s Separation from Service, Employer shall: 

(i) With respect to the Accrued Obligations, pay any earned but unpaid bonus to the Officer in a single lump sum no later than
March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which the bonus was earned ended, and pay all other Accrued Obligations to the Officer no later than 74 days following his Separation from Service from the
Employer (or at such earlier time as applicable law requires); 
 (ii) Continue to pay Officer the Base Salary in effect at
the time of his Separation from Service, in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll practices, for a period of two years; 

(iii) Pay Officer an additional monthly amount equal to $2,000 in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll
practices, for a period of two years; 

  
 6 

 (iv) On or before the last day of each of the two full calendar years following
the date of the Officer’s Separation from Service, pay Officer an amount equal to Officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which such termination occurs; and 

(v) Pay Officer a pro rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs based on Employer’s actual performance as
of the date of termination, such bonus to be paid in a single lump sum no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which the Officer’s Separation from Service occurred ended,
provided, however that no such pro rata bonus will be paid if the Officer’s termination occurs in the first six months of such fiscal year. 

The amounts payable under Subsections (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall be paid out in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice
commencing within 60 days after the Officer’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year
by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Officer’s Separation from Service. Each payment pursuant to
this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(2). 
 In the event such termination for Good
Reason occurs prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), and, within six months following such
termination, a Sale of the Company occurs, then, subject to the Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within 60 days of Officer’s Separation from Service, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 of the
Officer’s MUSA pursuant to which Officer’s H Units were granted under that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014, Officer’s H Units that
remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately upon such termination and shall instead remain outstanding until the six-month anniversary of such termination, such that, in the event
that a Sale of the Company occurs prior to such six-month anniversary, all such outstanding H Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of Section 2.5 of the MUSA pursuant to which the Officer’s H Units were granted. In the event
that a Sale of the Company does not occur prior to the end of such six-month anniversary, the Officer’s unvested H Units shall immediately expire. 

In the event such termination for Good Reason occurs prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated
Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), and, within six months following such termination, a Sale of the Company occurs, then, subject to the Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within
60 days of Officer’s Separation from Service, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 of the Officer’s MUSA pursuant to which Officer’s F Units were granted under that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014, 

  
 7 

 
Officer’s F Units that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately upon such termination and shall instead remain
outstanding until the six-month anniversary of such termination, such that, in the event that a Sale of the Company occurs prior to such six-month anniversary, all such outstanding F Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of
Section 2.5 of the MUSA pursuant to which the Officer’s F Units were granted. In the event that a Sale of the Company does not occur prior to the end of such six-month anniversary, the Officer’s unvested F Units shall immediately
expire. 
 In the event such termination for Good Reason occurs within six months prior to or 24 months after the consummation of a Change in Control (as
such term is defined in Employer’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, dated as of August 25, 2014 (the “2014 plan”)), then, subject to the Separation Agreement and Release becoming effective within 60 days of Officer’s
Separation from Service, Officer’s then-outstanding Awards (as defined in the 2014 Plan) that would have vested in accordance with their terms solely based upon continued employment, shall not expire upon such termination and shall instead vest
in full upon such termination or, if applicable, shall vest in full upon a Change in Control that occurs within six months following such termination. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which such Awards are not assumed by the applicable
successor entity, Officer shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of all such then-outstanding Awards whereby such Awards shall, as applicable, be fully exercisable, any vesting conditions or restrictions shall lapse, and such Awards shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable. 
 No other benefits or compensation will be paid or provided to Officer if he is terminated pursuant to this
Section 6(c) unless otherwise provided for in the terms of the applicable plan or agreement. 
 (d) Automatic
Termination. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon the death or permanent disability of Officer. Officer will be deemed to be “Disabled” or to suffer from a “Disability” within the meaning of this
Agreement if (i) the Officer is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous
period of not less than 12 months, (ii) the Officer is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months,
receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer, or (iii) the Officer is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security
Administration. Subject to continuing coverage under applicable benefit plans, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as may be required by law, if Officer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(d), Employer shall pay
Officer (or his beneficiary, as the case may be) (x) the Accrued Obligations and (y) a pro rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs based on Employer’s actual performance, such bonus to be paid in a single lump sum no
later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which his Separation from Service from the Employer by reason of Disability or death occurred ended. With respect to the Accrued Obligations,
Employer shall pay any earned but unpaid bonus to the Officer (or his beneficiary, as the case may be) in a single lump sum no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the fiscal year in which the bonus
was earned ended, and pay all other Accrued Obligations to the Officer no later than 74 days following his Separation from Service from the Employer by reason of death or Disability (or at such earlier date as applicable law requires). 

  
 8 

 In addition to the payments described above, in the event Officer is terminated pursuant to this
Section 6(d), Officer shall also be entitled to pro-rata acceleration of all Awards subject solely to time-based vesting, with such time-based Awards becoming vested and nonforfeitable as of such termination date in proportion to the period of
time that has elapsed between the grant date of such award and the date of Officer’s termination over the time-based vesting period contemplated by such Award. 

In the event Officer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(d) prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the
Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 of the Officer’s MUSA, the Officer’s H Units granted under that
certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014 that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately
upon such termination and, instead, all such outstanding H Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of Section 2.5 of the Officer’s MUSA pursuant to which the Officer’s H Units were granted. 

In the event Officer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(d) prior to the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in the
Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 of the Officer’s MUSA, the Officer’s F Units granted under that
certain Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NMH Investment, LLC, dated as of September 16, 2014 that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the date of such termination shall not expire immediately
upon such termination and, instead, all such outstanding F Units shall be deemed fully vested for purposes of Section 2.5 of the Officer’s MUSA pursuant to which the Officer’s F Units were granted. 

(e) Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and
obligations under this Agreement will cease except for (i) the rights and obligations under Sections 4 and 5 to the extent Officer has not been compensated or reimbursed for services performed prior to termination or has not been
paid vacation and reimbursable travel and entertainment expenses accrued through the termination date (the amount of compensation to be prorated for the portion of the pay period prior to termination); (ii) the rights and obligations under
Sections 7, 8 and 9; and (iii) all procedural and remedial provisions of this Agreement. A termination of this Agreement will constitute a termination of Officer’s employment with Employer. 

(f) Separation from Service. Any termination of employment triggering payment of benefits under this Section 6 must
constitute a Separation from Service within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h) (a “Separation from Service”) before distribution of such benefits can commence. For purposes of clarification, this paragraph shall not
cause any forfeiture of benefits on the part of the Officer, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a Separation from Service occurs. 

  
 9 

 (g) Certain Delayed Payments. If any amount to be paid to Officer pursuant to this
Section 6 as a result of Officer’s termination of employment is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder and if the Officer is a “Specified
Employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as of the date of Officer’s termination of employment hereunder, then, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of excise taxes or other penalties under Section 409A of the Code,
the payment of benefits, if any, scheduled to be paid by the Employer to Officer hereunder during the first six (6) month period following the date of a termination of employment hereunder shall not be paid until the date which is the first
business day following the six-month anniversary of Officer’s termination of employment for any reason other than death. Any deferred compensation payments delayed in accordance with the terms of this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum when
paid. 
 7. Protection of Confidential Information/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation. 

(a) Officer will not at any time (whether during or after Officer’s employment with Employer), other than in the ordinary course of
performing services for Employer, (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of Officer or any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever
(“Person”); or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any Person outside Employer (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public,
proprietary or confidential information obtained by Officer in connection with the commencement of Officer’s employment with Employer or at any time thereafter during the course of Officer’s employment with Employer — including
without limitation trade secrets, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs,
products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals — concerning the past, current or
future business, activities and operations of Employer and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of the same to Employer on a confidential basis (provided that with respect to such third party Officer knows or reasonably should have
known that the third party provided it to Employer on a confidential basis) (“Confidential Information”) without the prior written authorization of the Board; provided, however, that in any event Officer shall be
permitted to disclose any Confidential Information reasonably necessary (i) to perform Officer’s duties while employed with Employer or (ii) in connection with any litigation or arbitration involving this or any other agreement
entered into between Officer and Employer before, on or after the date of this Agreement in connection with any action or proceeding in respect thereof. 

(b) “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (A) generally known to the industry or the
public other than as a result of Officer’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties to the extent the Officer knows or reasonably should have known of such breach by such third parties;
(B) made legitimately available to Officer by a third party (unless Officer knows or reasonably should have known that such third party has breached any confidentiality obligation); or (C) required by law or by any court, arbitrator,
mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order Officer to disclose or make accessible any 

  
 10 

 
information; provided that, with respect to clause (C) Officer, except as otherwise prohibited by law or regulation, shall give prompt written notice to Employer of such requirement,
disclose no more information than is so required, and shall reasonably cooperate with any attempts by Employer, at its sole cost, to obtain a protective order or similar treatment prior to making such disclosure. 

(c) Except as required by law or otherwise set forth in Section 7(b) above, or unless or until publicly disclosed by
Employer, Officer will not disclose to anyone, other than Officer’s immediate family and legal, tax or financial advisors, the material provisions of this Agreement; provided that Officer may disclose the provisions of this Agreement
(A) to any prospective future employer provided they agree to maintain the confidentiality of such terms or (B) in connection with any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement. 

(d) Upon termination of Officer’s employment with Employer for any reason. Officer shall (A) cease and not thereafter commence use
of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) if such property is owned or used by
Employer; (B) immediately destroy, delete, or return to Employer, at Employer’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Officer’s
possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Officer’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not Employer property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of
Employer, except that Officer may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain Confidential Information; and (C) notify and fully cooperate with Employer regarding the delivery or destruction of
any other Confidential Information of which Officer is or becomes aware to the extent such information is in Officer’s possession or control. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere to the contrary, Officer shall be entitled to retain (and not
destroy) information showing Officer’s compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses that Officer reasonably believes is necessary for tax purposes and copies of plans, programs, policies and arrangements of, or other agreements with,
Employer addressing Officer’s compensation or employment or termination thereof. 
 (e) During the term of Officer’s employment
and during the two (2) years immediately following (x) the date of any termination of Officer’s employment with Employer by Employer with or without Cause and (y) if earlier than the date referenced in clause (x) hereof, the
date that notice is given by Officer to Employer of Officer’s resignation from Employer for any reason (other than due to Officer’s death) (such period, the “Restricted Period”), Officer will not, directly or indirectly:

 (A) engage in any business that competes, wholly or in part, as of the Relevant Date (as defined below), in the provision
or sale of home and community based health and human services, including residential, day and vocational programs, and periodic services to individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, youth with emotional and/or medically
complex challenges or at risk youth, and individuals with acquired brain injuries, and catastrophic injuries and illnesses, or any other business that the Employer is actively conducting or is actively considering conducting, including adult day
services and youths with autism, at the time of Officer’s termination of employment (so long as Officer knows or reasonably should have known about such plans(s)), in each case anywhere in the United States (a “Competitive
Business”); 

  
 11 

 (B) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division
or controlled or controlling affiliate of any Person) who or which is a Competitive Business as of the date Officer enters such employment or renders such services; or 

(C) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business which is a
Competitive Business as of the date of such acquisition or involvement, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or officer. 

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(e)(A), (B) or (C) above, nothing contained in
Section 7(e) shall prohibit Officer from (A) investing, as a passive investor, in any publicly held company provided that Officer’s beneficial ownership of any class of such publicly held company’s securities does
not exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of such class, (B) entering the employ of any academic institution or governmental or regulatory instrumentality of any country or any domestic or foreign state, county, city or
political subdivision, or (C) providing services to a subsidiary or affiliate of an entity that controls a separate subsidiary or affiliate that is a Competitive Business, so long as the subsidiary or affiliate for which Officer may be
providing services is not itself a Competitive Business and Officer is not, as an Officer of such subsidiary or affiliate, engaging in activities that would otherwise cause such subsidiary or affiliate to be deemed a Competitive Business. 

(g) During the Restricted Period, Officer will not, whether on Officer’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person,
directly or indirectly solicit or assist in soliciting the business of any client of the Company, in all such cases determined as of the Relevant Date (collectively, the “Clients”): 

(A) with whom Officer had personal contact or dealings on behalf of Employer during the one-year period immediately preceding
Officer’s termination of employment; 
 (B) with whom employees of Employer reporting to Officer have had personal
contact on behalf of Employer and about such contacts the Officer was aware during the one-year period immediately preceding the Officer’s termination of employment; or 

(C) with whom Officer had direct or indirect responsibility during the one-year period immediately preceding Officer’s
termination of employment. 
 For purposes of this Section 7, the term “Relevant Date” shall mean, during the
term of Officer’s employment, any date falling during such time, and, for the period of time during the Restricted Period that falls after the date of any termination of Officer’s employment with Employer, the effective date of termination
of Officer’s employment with Employer. 
 (h) Non-Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period,
Officer will not interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, business relationships 

  
 12 

 
(whether formed before, on or after the date of this Agreement) between Employer, on the one hand, and any Client, customers, suppliers, partners, of Employer, on the other hand, in any such case
determined as of the Relevant Date. 
 (i) During the term of Officer’s employment and during the Restricted Period, Officer will not,
whether on Officer’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, directly or indirectly (other than in the ordinary course of Officer’s employment with Employer on Employer’s behalf): 

(A) solicit or encourage any employee of Employer to leave the employment of Employer; or 

(B) hire any such employee who was employed by Employer as of the date of Officer’s termination of employment with
Employer or who left the employment of Employer coincident with, or within one year prior to or after, the termination of Officer’s employment with Employer; or 

(C) solicit or encourage to cease to work with Employer any Officer that Officer knows, or reasonably should have known, is
then under contract with Employer. 
 (j) Employer may, with the prior written consent of the chair of the Compensation Committee of
Employer, waive compliance with one or more of the covenants of Officer set forth in this Section 7 for the purpose of facilitating the negotiation of the acquisition of Employer by a third party. Such a waiver must be made in writing
and executed by Employer and the chair of the Compensation Committee of Employer, and shall be effective only with respect to the acts specifically described therein. 

It is expressly understood and agreed that although Officer and Employer consider the restrictions contained in this Section 7 to
be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Officer, the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable (provided that in no event shall any such
amendment broaden the time period or scope of any restriction herein). Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to
make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 
 8.
Intellectual Property. 
 (a) If Officer has created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved any inventions,
intellectual property, discoveries, copyrightable subject matters or other similar work of intellectual property (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems or applications, presentations, textual works, content,
or audiovisual materials) (“Works”), either alone or with third parties, prior to or during Officer’s prior and current employment with Employer, that are in connection with such employment (“Prior

  
 13 

 
Works”), to the extent Officer has retained or does retain any right in such Prior Work, Officer hereby grants Employer a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide,
assignable, sublicensable license under all rights and intellectual property rights (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) therein to the extent of Officer’s
rights in such Prior Work for all purposes in connection with Employer’s current and future business. 
 (b) If Officer creates,
invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any Works, either alone or with third parties, at any time during Officer’s employment by Employer and within the scope of such employment and/or with the use of any Employer resources
(“Company Works”), Officer shall promptly and fully disclose same to Employer and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and at Employer’s sole expense, all rights
and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) to Employer to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in
Employer. 
 (c) Officer agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any
other form or media requested by Employer) of all Company Works. The records will be available to and remain the sole property and intellectual property of Employer at all times. 

(d) Officer shall take all requested actions and execute all requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a
government contract) at Employer’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist Employer in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of Employer’s rights in the Prior Works
and Company Works as set forth in this Section 8. If Employer is unable for any other reason to secure Officer’s signature on any document for this purpose, then Officer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and its
duly authorized officers and agents as Officer’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Officer’s behalf and stead to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in connection with the foregoing. 

(e) Except as may otherwise be required under Section 4(a) above, Officer shall not improperly use for the benefit of, bring to
any premises of, divulge, disclose, communicate, reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with Employer any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party which
Officer knows or reasonably should have known is confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property of such third party without the prior written permission of such third party. Officer hereby indemnifies, holds harmless
and agrees to defend Employer and its officers, directors, partners, Officers, agents and representatives from any breach of the foregoing covenant. Officer shall comply with all relevant policies and guidelines of Employer, including regarding the
protection of confidential information and intellectual property and potential conflicts of interest. Officer acknowledges that Employer may amend any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that Officer remains at all times bound by
their most current version. 

  
 14 

 9. Property of Employer. Officer agrees that, upon the termination of Officer’s
employment with Employer, Officer will immediately surrender to Employer all property, equipment, funds, lists, books, records and other materials of Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates in the possession of or provided to Officer,
provided, however, Officer shall be entitled to retain individualized bound volumes of transaction documents in which Officer provided services. 

10. Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. Officer shall cooperate fully with Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or
actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of Employer which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Officer was employed by Employer. Employer shall reimburse Officer for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Officer’s obligations pursuant to this section. In addition, if such cooperation is required after the Officer’s termination, the Officer shall receive compensation at an hourly rate of
not less than the Officer’s Base Salary at the time of termination divided by 1,840. 
 11. Governing Law. This Agreement and
all issues relating to the validity, interpretation and performance will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

12. Remedies. Officer acknowledges and agrees that in the course of Officer’s employment with Employer, Officer will be provided
with access to Confidential Information, and will be provided with the opportunity to develop relationships with clients, prospective clients, employees and other agents of Employer, and Officer further acknowledges that such confidential
information and relationships are extremely valuable assets of Employer in which Employer has invested and will continue to invest substantial time, effort and expense. Accordingly, Officer acknowledges and agrees that Employer’s remedies at
law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7, 8 or 9 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Officer agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any
remedies at law, Employer, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required to be paid or provided by Employer (other than any vested benefits under any retirement plan or as may
otherwise be required by applicable law to be provided) and seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available;
provided, however, that if it is subsequently determined in a final and binding arbitration or litigation that Officer did not breach any such provision, Employer will promptly pay any payments or provide any benefits, which Employer
may have ceased to pay when originally due and payable, plus an additional amount equal to interest (calculated based on the applicable federal rate for the month in which such final determination is made) accrued on the applicable payment or the
amount of the benefit, as applicable, beginning from the date such payment or benefit was originally due and payable through the day preceding the date on which such payment or benefit is ultimately paid hereunder. 

13. Arbitration. Except for an action for injunctive relief as described in Section 12, any disputes or controversies
arising under this Agreement will be settled by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association 

  
 15 

 
relating to the arbitration of employment disputes. The determination and finding of such arbitrators will be final and binding on all parties and may be enforced, if necessary, in any court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 14. D&O Policy/Indemnification. Employer agrees to maintain a Directors and Officers Liability Policy
covering Officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law unless such policy increases in cost to an amount that is more than three times the amount that Employer pays as of the date of this Agreement. That certain Indemnification Agreement,
dated as of September     , 2014, by and between Officer and Employer remains in full force and effect. 
 15.
Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given to any party will be given in writing and, excepting personal delivery, will be given at the address set forth below or at such other address as such party may designate by
written notice to the other party to this Agreement:
