Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

Exhibit 10.52

Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

This Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2011 (the “Grant Date”), between ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the employee whose name appears on the signature page hereof, is being entered into pursuant to the ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan.  The meaning of capitalized terms may be found in Section 7.

The Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.              Grant of Restricted Stock Units

(a)               Confirmation of Grant.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective as of the date hereof, its grant to the Employee of Restricted Stock Units representing the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock specified on the signature page hereof.  This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Restricted Stock Units are subject to, the terms of the Plan.  If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

(b)               Employee Unit Account.  The Company will establish a separate notional account for the Employee and will record in such account the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.              Vesting and Forfeiture

(a)               Based on Continued Employment.  The Employee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest (i) up to fifty percent (50%) on December 31, 2012 based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment, in its sole discretion, of Employee’s achievement of his annual goals and objectives for 2012 and (ii) up to fifty percent (50%) on December 31, 2013 (the “Second Vesting Date”) based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment, in its sole discretion, of Employee’s achievement of his annual goals and objectives for 2013, subject to the Employee’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary through the applicable vesting date.

(b)               Effect of a Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control occurring prior to the Second Vesting Date, subject to the Employee’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary from the Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control, any Restricted Stock Units which are unvested shall automatically become vested.

(c)               Discretionary Acceleration.  The Board, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units at any time and from time to time.

(d)               Effect of Termination of Employment.  Upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason (whether initiated by the Company or by the Employee), any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

Section 3.              Dividend Equivalents

If the Company pays any cash dividend or similar cash distribution on the Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Employee’s account an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of the Employee’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date for such distribution times (y) the per share amount of such dividend or similar cash distribution on Common Stock.  Any cash amounts credited to the Employee’s account shall be paid to the Employee on the Settlement Date (as defined below).  If the Company makes any dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in the form of Common Stock or other securities, the Company will credit the Employee’s account with that number of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that would have been distributed with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Employee’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date thereof.  Any such additional shares of Common Stock or other securities shall be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Units.

Section 4.              Settlement

Subject to Section 8(a), promptly following the date on which a Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested, and in any event no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs (the “Settlement Date”), the Employee shall receive, without payment, one Settlement Share in respect of each such Restricted Stock Unit.  On or before any Settlement Date, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company and the Employee shall enter into a Subscription Agreement that contains repurchase rights, a voting proxy and transfer and other restrictions on the Settlement Shares in the form then customarily used by the Company for such purpose; provided that, if the Employee has previously entered into a Subscription Agreement containing such restrictions, then the Settlement Shares shall be treated as “Shares” for purposes of that Subscription Agreement and shall be subject to such restrictions.

Section 5.              Employee’s Representations and Warranties

(a)               Access to Information, Etc.  The Employee represents and warrants as follows:

(i)        the Employee understands the terms and conditions that apply to the Restricted Stock Units and the risks associated with an investment in the Restricted Stock Units;

(ii)       the Employee has a good understanding of the English language; and

(iii)      the Employee is an officer or employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

(b)               No Right to Awards.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any Restricted Stock Units (i) is being made on an exceptional basis and is not intended to be renewed or repeated, (ii) is entirely voluntary on the part of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (iii) should not be construed as creating any obligation on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to offer any Restricted Stock Units in the future.

(c)               Investment Intention.  The Employee represents and warrants that the Employee has been awarded the Restricted Stock Units and any Settlement Shares delivered in respect thereof for his or her own account for investment and not on behalf of any other person or with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Restricted Stock Units.

Section 6.              Restriction on Transfer; Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units

The Restricted Stock Units are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise).  Any purported Transfer in violation of this Section 6 shall be void ab initio.

Section 8.              Miscellaneous

(a)               Withholding.  The Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall require the Employee 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 obligations that may arise in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the related issuance of the Settlement Shares.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Employee elects not to remit cash in respect of such obligations, the Company shall retain a number of Settlement Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units then vesting that have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Settlement Date equal to the amount of such taxes required to be withheld (and the Employee shall thereupon be deemed to have satisfied his or her obligations under this Section 8(a)); provided that the number of Settlement Shares retained shall not be in excess of the minimum amount required to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligations (it being understood that the value of any fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash).  The number of Settlement Shares to be issued shall thereupon be reduced by the number of Settlement Shares so retained.  The method of withholding set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be available if withholding in this manner would violate any financing

instrument of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to the extent that, following a Public Offering, a facility is in place by which the Employee may sell Settlement Shares in the public market to satisfy such obligations.

(b)               Limitation of Benefits.  If, whether as a result of accelerated vesting, the grant of an Alternative Award or otherwise, the Employee would receive any payment, deemed payment or other benefit as a result of the operation of Section 2(b) that, together with any other payment, deemed payment or other benefit the Employee may receive under any other plan, program, policy or arrangement, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under section 280G of the Code, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the payments, deemed payments or other benefits the Employee would otherwise receive under Section 2(b) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess parachute payment and the Employee shall have no further rights or claims with respect thereto.  If the preceding sentence would result in a reduction of the payments, deemed payments or other benefits the Employee would otherwise receive under this Agreement (together with any reductions under any other plan, program, policy or arrangement) on an after-tax basis by more than 5%, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek the approval of the Company’s shareholders in the manner provided for in section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to such reduced payments or other benefits (if the Company is eligible to do so), so that such payments would not be treated as “parachute payments” for these purposes (and therefore would cease to be subject to reduction pursuant to this Section 8(b)); provided, however, that if the Company seeks such approval on behalf of the Employee, the Company’s request for the approval of such payments to the Employee shall be submitted to the shareholders on a single slate with all other persons for whom such approval is being sought, and not individually.  This Section 8(b) shall cease to apply if the stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company becomes readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise within the meaning of 26 CFR 1.280G-1, Q/A-6.

(c)               Authorization to Share Personal Data.  The Employee authorizes any Affiliate of the Company that employs the Employee or that otherwise has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to the Employee to divulge such personal data to the Company if and to the extent appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.

(d)               No Rights as Stockholder; No Voting Rights.  The Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Units or Settlement Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units until the delivery of the Settlement Shares.

(e)               No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer on the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time.
