Ladies and Gentlemen:

Since the acquisition of shares of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) on March 30, 2012 by your affiliate Ridgemont Partners Secondary Fund I, L. P., you and the other equity sponsors have received regular reports and participated in numerous monthly operating review meetings regarding the business, operations and financial condition of the Parent, The ServiceMaster Company, LLC (the “Company”) and its and their subsidiaries (the “Company Group”) in order to enable you to provide oversight and input as to the performance of the Company Group.  The Company has concluded that, in light of the scope and extent of the on-going management and consulting services being provided by Ridgemont Partners Management, LLC (“you” or “Consultant”), it would be appropriate to compensate you for those services on the terms and subject to conditions that follow:

1.                                      The Company has retained you, and you hereby agree to accept such retention, to provide to the Company Group, when and if called upon, management and consulting services in the form of making available one of your employees to serve as a member of, or observer to, the Board of Directors of Parent and/or the Company and to participate in periodic operating reviews conducted with senior management of the Company Group (the “Consulting Services”) and such other ancillary advice as may be reasonably requested by the Company Group.  As compensation for the Consulting Services, commencing on the date hereof, the Company agrees to pay you a fee (the “Consulting Fee”) of  $250,000 per year, one quarter of which shall be payable quarterly in advance of the first day of each January, April, July and October, beginning on April 1, 2014.

2.                                      The Company will, and will cause each member of the Company Group to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, or to cause their respective subsidiaries and agents to furnish, Consultant with such information (the “Information”) as may be reasonably needed in order for the Consultant to fulfill its engagement hereunder.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) Consultant will rely on the Information and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the Consulting Services and the services contemplated by paragraph 1 and (b) Consultant does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and such other information.

3.                                      Consultant acknowledges that the Company has previously entered substantially similar agreements with Citigroup Private Equity L.P. and J.P. Morgan Ventures Corporation,

dated as of August 13, 2009, and that the Company has previously entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2007 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “CD&R Consulting Agreement”), with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (collectively, the “Other Consultants”), pursuant to which the Other Consultants are to provide consulting services to the Company Group.  The Consultant will coordinate with the Other Consultants in connection with its provision of such services to the Company Group, provided that Consultant shall not be liable to any member of the Company Group as a result of any such services provided, or the failure to provide such services, by the Other Consultants.

4.                                      Parent and the Company (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Company Group) hereby acknowledge and agree that the services provided by Consultant hereunder are being provided subject to the terms of this agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph 10).

5.                                      You shall act as an independent contractor, with duties solely to the Company Group.  The provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that nothing in this agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any present or future holders of any securities of the Parent or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any present or future creditor of the Parent or its subsidiaries or affiliates, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this agreement or any performance hereunder.

6.                                      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT 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 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 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 paragraph 6.
