Re: Termination of the Advisory Services Agreement dated January 8, 2004, by and among Diversified Collection Services, Inc. (the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of Performant Financial Corporation (the “Parent”), and PCP Managers, LLC (as successor to Parthenon Capital, LLC) (“Parthenon”), as amended by that certain Amendment to the Advisory Agreement dated as of March 19, 2012 (altogether, the “Agreement”). Unless noted otherwise, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

Dear Lisa:

As we’ve discussed, we hereby agree to terminate the Agreement, and in connection therewith, the Company agrees:

1. to pay to Parthenon (or its designee) an aggregate amount of $1,300,000.00, payable on the current schedule of $108,622.22 per quarter; provided, however, that any remaining balance will become immediately due upon the occurrence of an initial public offering (“IPO”) or a Sale of the Company (as defined in that certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of January 8, 2004, by and among Parent, Parthenon DCS Holdings, LLC, and the other signatories thereto, as amended from time to time) (the “Stockholders Agreement”); and

2. to pay Parthenon (or its designee), upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of an IPO or (ii) Sale of the Company (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), a fee (payable in cash at the closing of the applicable transaction) equal to (x) in the case of an IPO, 1.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the IPO or (y) in the case of a Sale of the Company, 1.00% of the aggregate consideration received by any person or entity (whether in cash, securities or other property (valued by Parthenon at fair market value in good faith), including any assumption of debt and assuming payment in full of all escrow amounts and other contingent consideration) in connection with such Sale of the Company.

The Company agrees that Parthenon has no liability or other obligations pursuant to the Agreement.
