THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into on May 22, 2017, and shall be effective on
May 16, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between StoneMor GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and the General Partner of StoneMor Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”),
and Mark Miller (the “Executive”). The Company and Executive are each sometimes referred to herein as “Party,” and both of them, together, are sometimes referred to herein as the “Parties.” 

WHEREAS, Executive had been retained by the Company as a consultant for the Company, pursuant to a Consulting Agreement between Mark
Miller & Associates, LLC and the Company, effective March 3, 2017 (the “Consulting Agreement”), and 

WHEREAS Mark Miller & Associates, LLC and the Company agreed to terminate the Consulting Agreement, effective May 16,
2017, waiving any notice requirements; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to engage Executive for the position of Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”) and Senior Vice President of the Company as of the Effective Date and Executive wishes to accept such employment with the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties contemplated entering into this Agreement which memorializes the Parties’ understanding of the terms and conditions
of Executive’s employment as of the Effective Date, including Executive’s agreement to the restrictive covenants contained herein; and 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Partnership and each of their parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions and related companies and
entities, and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, now existing or hereafter created, are engaged in the deathcare industry and provide a broad scope of products and services through the ownership, development, and operation of
cemeteries and funeral homes (the “Business”), and 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts, mutual promises
and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows: 

1.    Employment. The Executive’s employment with the Company as CFO and Senior Vice President shall commence
on the Effective Date and shall continue unless terminated by either Party. 
 2.    Position. 

(a)    During his employment, the Executive shall serve as the CFO and Senior Vice President of the Company, and shall have
such duties and authority as are customarily associated with such positions or as otherwise determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). 

(b)    During his employment, the Executive will devote his full business time and best efforts to the performance of his
duties hereunder and will perform such duties diligently, faithfully and to the best of his abilities and will not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation, for compensation or otherwise, which would conflict with the performance of
Executive’s duties, either 







 
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Board. It shall not be deemed a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to (i) act or serve as an unpaid director,
trustee or committee member of any civic or charitable organization; (ii) manage his personal, financial and legal affairs, including passive investments of not more than 5% of other public companies; or (iii) serve as a director of an
organization that is not a civic or charitable organization with the prior consent of the Board, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, in each instance so long as such activities individually or in the aggregate do not conflict with the
performance of Executive’s duties, either directly or indirectly, or create a business or fiduciary conflict or otherwise violate this Agreement. The activities on Exhibit A are hereby initially approved under this Section 2(b), subject
to Executive’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 2(b). 
 (c)    The Executive shall be principally
based in the Company’s Trevose, Pennsylvania office. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive’s duties hereunder from time to time will include, without limitation, reasonable travel, including travel to locations within
and outside of the United States, to attend meetings and other functions as the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder may require. 

(d)    To the extent Executive is appointed to any officer or board position of the Company or of any related or
affiliated entity, Executive agrees that upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason, Executive will immediately resign such position(s) if the Board requests that he do so. 

(e)    Executive affirms that he has disclosed to the Company any agreement he has signed with any current and/or any
prior employer which contains any post-termination restrictions of any kind and understands that he must comply with any such restrictions. Further, Executive is not subject to any agreement with
his current and/or any prior employer which would interfere with his ability to perform the duties under this Agreement.    Executive affirms that he will not disclose to or use for the benefit of the Company any confidential
and/or proprietary information which he acquired in the course of his employment with his current or any prior employer, regardless of whether there is an agreement with his current or any prior employer protecting such confidential and/or
proprietary information. 
 3.    Compensation. 

(a)    Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive base salary, subject to annual review by the Board (such
base salary, as so adjusted in accordance with the normal annual review practices for senior executives of the Company, the “Base Salary”), at the annual rate of Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000), less applicable
taxes and required withholdings, payable in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices. Any decrease in the Executive’s Base Salary shall be made only if the Company contemporaneously and proportionately decreases the
base salaries of all senior executives of the Company. 
 (b)    Bonus. 

(i)    The Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive cash bonus for each Fiscal Year
(“FY”) of the Company (the “Bonus”). The Bonus for each FY shall be within a range of zero percent (0%) to one hundred twelve and five tenths percent (112.5%) of the Executive’s Base Salary during the
applicable FY (but prorated for the 2017 FY based on the number of calendar days 







 
between the Effective Date and December 31, 2017), and shall be based on specific, individual and company goals set by the Executive Committee of the Board, in consultation with the
Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion and communicated to the Executive no later than January 31st of each FY; however, with respect to the 2017 FY Bonus, the individual and company goals shall be communicated to the Executive promptly
following the Effective Date. The Executive shall be entitled to a Bonus equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of Base Salary in a given FY upon achievement of the goals at target established for the Executive’s Bonus for such FY. Payments of a
Bonus in excess of 75% of the Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to the satisfaction of additional stretch goals established for the Executive’s Bonus for such FY, as determined by the Executive Committee of the Board, in
consultation with the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided in Section 6(c) below, Executive shall not be eligible for any Bonus if (a) he is not employed on the last day of the FY
to which the Bonus relates and (b) Executive shall not be eligible for such Bonus unless other senior executive team members have also earned a bonus for such FY. 

(ii)    In lieu of all or a portion of any cash Bonus for the 2017 FY under Section 3(b)(i), the Executive shall receive,
a grant of restricted common LP units in the Partnership equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) measured as of the date of grant (“Restricted Units”), which shall vest in equal monthly installment over the two year period
following the grant, have rights to distributions consistent with fully vested common LP units in the Partnership and be subject to such other terms and conditions set forth in the grant agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. The grant of
Restricted Units under this Section 3(b)(ii) will be made as promptly as practicable after the Partnership has filed all of its required reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To the extent that the Bonus payable to the Executive for the
2017 FY under Section 3(b)(i) above, if any, is determined to exceed $100,000, only the amounts in excess of $100,000 shall be payable to the Executive in cash in accordance with the terms of Section 3(b)(i). 

(iii)    Any Bonus amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid no later than March 15th of the year following the
year with respect to which the Bonus was earned and shall be less any taxes and other applicable withholdings. 

(c)    Long Term Incentive Plan. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Partnership’s long-term
incentive plan (the “LTIP”) for the 2017 FY and each FY thereafter, to the extent that the Company offers the LTIP to all senior executives of the Company. The Executive’s participation in the LTIP in 2017 FY and in any future
FYs, if offered by the Company, shall be in an annual amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, with 50% of such annual amount vesting in equal annual installments over three years and 50% of the annual amount vesting
based upon attainment of performance goals as determined by Executive Committee of the Board, in consultation with the Compensation Committee. To the extent the Executive’s employment terminates on account of Retirement (as defined below)
during a performance period applicable to a particular LTIP grant, the portion of such LTIP grant that is subject to performance goals shall be earned pro-rata based on actual performance and the number of
months that the Executive was employed during the performance period. The pro-rated portion shall be determined by multiplying the number of units eligible to be earned for the performance period, by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that elapsed during the period beginning on the first day of the performance period and ending on the Executive’s termination date, and the denominator of which is the number of months in
the performance period. A partial month after the date on which the performance period begins shall count as a full month for purposes of this calculation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a retirement by the
Executive on or 







 
after the date that the Executive attains age 62, which is communicated to the Board in writing by the Executive setting forth a proposed retirement date, with such communication provided at
least three months prior to the proposed retirement date, and such retirement and proposed retirement date are approved by the Board. 

(d)    Profit Participation.    The Executive shall be entitled to a one percent (1%) profit
participation in the “General Partner”, with the terms of such profit participation (including, but not limited to, vesting terms and distribution participation rights) to be finalized within sixty (60) days following the Effective
Date upon mutual agreement of the Parties, and subject to such arrangements being structured in a manner that complies with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the
“Code”). 
 (e)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below),
all outstanding equity interests granted to the Executive by the Company that are subject to time-based vesting provisions and that are not fully vested (including, but not limited to, the Restricted Units and LTIP set forth above) shall become
fully vested as of the date of such Change in Control. For purposes of this Section 3(e), “Change in Control” means, and shall be deemed to have occurred upon one or more of the following events: 

(i)    the members of the Company approve, in one or more related transactions, a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company; or 
 (ii)    the sale or other disposition by either the Company or the Partnership of all or substantially
all of its assets. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the parties specifically agree that there shall be no acceleration in a dilution change in control. 

4.    Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s health, life insurance,
disability, dental, retirement, savings, flexible spending accounts and other employee benefit and fringe benefit plans, programs and arrangements, if any, on the same basis as benefits are generally made available to other senior executives of the
Company.    The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) week’s paid vacation per calendar year in accordance with the Company’s policy, pro-rated for the first calendar year.

 5.    Business Expenses. Executive shall be eligible to be reimbursed for reasonable and documented business
expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with Company policies on expense reimbursement in effect from time to time. 

6.    Post-Termination Payments and Benefits. 

(a)    Either Party can terminate this Agreement and the employment relationship between the Parties at any time and for
any or no reason. The Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment without “Cause,” (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, which the Company may waive, in its sole discretion, by
paying Executive his Base Salary for such notice period and the Company may accelerate the effective date of Executive’s termination; provided, however, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately without any prior notice
in the event of “Cause” or Executive’s death. The Executive may terminate this Agreement and the 







 
Executive’s employment with “Good Reason” (as defined below) within the timeframes set forth in the definition of Good Reason below, or without Good Reason upon thirty
(30) days’ written notice, which the Company may waive, in its sole discretion, by paying Executive his Base Salary for such thirty (30) day notice period and the Company may accelerate the effective date of Executive’s
termination. 
 (b)    Executive (or his estate) shall not be eligible for any severance payments or benefits from the
Company subsequent to the termination of his employment if Executive voluntarily resigns other than for Good Reason, dies, is terminated by the Company for Cause or incurs a Disability (as defined below) other than (i) any Base Salary for days
actually worked through the date of termination; (ii) reimbursement of all expenses for which the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5 above, but for which he has not yet been reimbursed; (iii) any vested
accrued benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans programs in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs, as accrued through the date of termination; (iv) vested but unissued equity in the Company or the Partnership,

as soon as practicable after the date of termination. 
 (c)    In addition to the Accrued Obligations, if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by the Executive for Good Reason, and provided that Executive complies with Section 6(g) below (Release), Executive shall be entitled to Severance Benefits, which
shall consist of: (A) payment of Executive’s Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months (“Severance Period”) following the effective date of Executive’s termination (“Severance Pay”), to be
paid in equal installments in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, commencing within sixty (60) days following the date of termination and the first payment will include any amounts not yet paid between the date of
termination and the date of the first payment and (B) a pro-rata Bonus for the FY of the Company in which such termination occurs, if any, determined by the Company and subject to the restrictions as set
forth in Section 3(b)(i), which shall be paid at the same time that annual incentive cash bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the FY following the FY in which the date of termination
occurs. 
 (d)    For purposes of this Section 6, “Cause,” shall mean the Company’s

 (i)    Executive’s willful misconduct or
gross negligence in the performance of his duties which materially adversely affects the reputation or business activities of the Company or the Partnership; provided that the Company shall give the Executive notice of any such commission describing
in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Executive shall have thirty (30) days following such notice to cure any commission (if susceptible to cure) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board; 

(ii)    Executive’s conviction of a felony (other than traffic offenses) or conviction of any crime involving fraud,
embezzlement, theft, or moral turpitude, that, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, renders the Executive’s continued employment damaging or detrimental to the Company and/or Partnership or potentially damaging or detrimental to the Company
and/or Partnership; or 







 (iii)    Executive’s willful and repeated failure to perform lawful
directives of the Board; provided that the Company shall give the Executive notice of any such failure describing in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Cause and the Executive shall have thirty (30) days following such notice to
cure any failure. 
 (e)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one
or more of the following without the Executive’s consent, other than on account of the Executive’s Disability:

(ii)    A material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary (other than an across the board reduction in accordance
with Section 3(a)). 
 The Executive must provide written notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company within ninety (90) days after the event
constituting Good Reason. The Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which it may correct the act or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason as set forth in the Executive’s notice of termination. If the

(f)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive becomes eligible for
benefits under the Company’s disability plan or is determined by the Company, in good faith, to be unable to perform the essential functions of his position, regardless of the reason, with or without a reasonable accommodation, for a total
(whether consecutive or cumulative) of twenty-six (26) weeks in any rolling fifty-two (52) week period by reason of an illness or injury, or in the event that
the Company receives a medical or other certification that the Executive will not be able to perform the essential functions of his position permanently or for the indefinite future.

Executive signing, without properly revoking, a Severance Agreement and General Release and Waiver of Claims upon the termination of Executive’s employment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such changes that

 (ii)    The Severance Benefits described in Section 6(c) are subject to
deductions and withholdings required by applicable law.

Executive by the Company, or developed by Executive on behalf of the Company, or at the Company’s direction or for the Company’s use or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment hereunder, are and shall remain the sole
property of the Company, including but not limited to, data, reports, proposals, lists, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, material, computer programs, software, customer information and records, business records, price lists or
information, samples, or any other materials or electronic data. Upon termination of employment (or earlier, upon request of the Company), and as a condition precedent to Executive receipt of Severance Benefits under this Agreement, Executive shall

9.    Restrictive Covenants.  

(a)    Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that, during Executive’s
employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason and whether initiated by Executive or the Company. Executive shall not, for Executive’s own
benefit or for the benefit of any third-party, directly or indirectly, in any capacity (as an employee, independent contractor, owner, partner or otherwise) participate in any of the following: 

(i)    Solicit, induce, or encourage any prospective employee, director, officer, associate, consultant, agent or
independent contractor of the Company not to establish an employment, contractual or other relationship with the Company or any current employee, director officer, associate, consultant, agent or independent contractor of the Company to terminate
such person’s employment, contractual or other relationship with the Company. 







 (ii)    Employ or establish a business relationship with or encourage or
assist any person or entity to employ or establish a business relationship with, any person who is employed by or has a business relationship with the Company or who was employed by or had a business relationship with the Company at any time during
Executive’s employment and/or during the twelve (12) month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment. 

(iii)    Direct or do any act or thing which may interfere with or adversely affect the relationship (contractual or
otherwise) of the Company with any Customer, vendor, investor, or supplier of the Company, or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any such Customer, vendor, investor or supplier not to do business with, cease doing business with, reduce or
otherwise limit its business with the Company. For purposes of this provision, the term “Customer” means any person or entity for whom the Company is providing any goods or services or has provided goods or services during the
twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Executive’s termination of employment, and any person or entity with whom the Company was communicating, at any point during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
Executive’s termination of employment, to provide goods or services, in any state or marketing area in which the Company is doing business or is qualified to do business. 

(b)    Non-Compete. Executive agrees that, during Executive’s
employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason and whether initiated by Executive or the Company, Executive shall not, for
Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of any third-party, directly or indirectly, in any capacity (as an employee, independent contractor, owner, partner or otherwise) engage in any business activity, be employed by or otherwise be
associated with (as an employee, independent contractor, owner, partner or otherwise) any person or entity which, at the time of Executive’s termination, Competes (as defined below) in any way with the business activities of the Company. The
term “Competes” as used in this Section 9(b) shall mean any person or entity that engages in, directly or indirectly, any Business of the type or character engaged in or competitive with that conducted by the Company in any state or
marketing area in which the Company is doing business or is qualified to do business at the time of the termination of Executive’s employment or at any time during the twenty-four (24) month period prior to the termination of
Executive’s employment. Executive acknowledges that these restrictions on competition are fair because, in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive will have knowledge of and access to all business practices and
information, without limitation to a specific geography, department or customer. However, this Section 9(b) shall not preclude Executive from owning up to 5% of a publicly traded company. 

10.     Intellectual Property. 

(a)    Any and all work, writings, inventions, improvements, concepts, ideas, modifications, methods, discoveries, formula,
trade secrets, trademarks, domain names, copyright, know-how, processes, procedures, techniques and the like (all of the above collectively referred to herein as the “Intellectual Property”),
whether or not suitable for patent, trademark or copyright, which Executive has made, created, conceived, discovered, enhanced, developed or reduced to practice, either solely or jointly with others, at any time during Executive’s employment
with the Company, whether or not during working hours, and whether or not at the request or upon the suggestion of the Company, and which (i) relate to the business, work or activities of the Company and/or its affiliates, or (ii) result
from or are suggested by the carrying out of Executive’s duties relating to Executive’s employment with the Company or from or by any information that Executive may receive as an employee of the Company shall be the sole








 
and exclusive property of the Company. Executive shall not be entitled to any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all Intellectual Property or intellectual
property rights. Nothing herein shall be construed as a license to Executive by the Company to use any materials protected by copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights. 

(b)    With respect to all work or Intellectual Property which qualify as “work(s) made for hire” under 17
U.S.C. §101, Executive and the Company agree by this written instrument that, for the purposes of Title 17 of the United States Code, the Company shall be the “person for whom the work is prepared,” and that, any other written
agreement between the Parties notwithstanding, the Company shall be considered the sole author of, and shall own all right, title in and to the copyrights in, such works. In this respect, all work or Intellectual Property created by Executive within
the scope of this Agreement shall be considered a “work made for hire” under the United States copyright law (17 U.S.C. §101 et seq.) and any other laws of the United States or Foreign Countries and made under the course of this
Agreement. Even if any Intellectual Property, work or other intellectual property rights, by operation of law or otherwise, may not be considered a “work made for hire,” Executive agrees to irrevocably assign, and hereby does irrevocably
assign to the Company, all right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property or work, including all intellectual property rights or proprietary rights arising under any United States or International laws. 

(c)    Executive hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company all of Executive’s right, title and interest in
and to any and all such Intellectual Property, and agrees to take all such actions as may be requested by the Company at any time and with respect to any such Intellectual Property, to confirm or evidence such assignment, transfer and conveyance.
Furthermore, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Company, Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company any and all instruments, documents and papers, give evidence and do any and all other acts that, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, are or may be necessary or desirable to document such assignment, transfer and conveyance or to enable the Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain and enforce any and all patents, trademark
registrations or copyrights under United States or foreign law with respect to any such Intellectual Property, or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue, continuance or renewal of any such patent, trademark or copyright. The Company shall be
responsible for the preparation of any such instruments, documents and papers and for the prosecution of any such proceedings and shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in compliance with the provisions of this
section. 
 11.    Equitable Relief 

(a)    The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will, in his role of President and Chief Executive Officer, have
access to, receive, learn, develop and/or conceive information that is confidential and/or proprietary to the Company and/or related to all aspects of its Business, including but not limited to financials, customers and contracts and will be
required to develop, maintain, and/or supervise technology, products and customer relationships and intellectual property that is valuable to the Company and which must be kept in strict confidence to protect the Business and the Company’s and
the Partnership’s competitive position in the marketplace and that such information would be useful to the Company and the Partnership’s competitors for indefinite periods of time. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company
and the Partnership would be irreparably harmed by Executive’s subsequent work with, for, or as a competitor of the Company or the Partnership due to the possibility that there would be inadvertent or other disclosures of the confidential
and/or proprietary 







 
information or that there would be improper interference with its valuable customer relationships and goodwill. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 10,
including the subject matter and temporal and/or geographic scope, are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of the Company. If the Executive breaches any of the provision of Sections 8, 9 and 10, the Company shall have the right and
remedy, without regard to any other available remedy, to (i) have the provisions specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) have issued an injunction or other equitable relief, including restraining any such
breach of the provisions, without posting of a bond (unless a bond is required by law and in which case the Parties shall jointly request a nominal bond); it being agreed that any breach of any of the Confidentiality or Restrictive Covenants
provisions would cause irreparable and material harm, loss, and damage to the Company, the amount of which cannot not be readily determined and as to which the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. 

(b)    If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any one of them or any parts thereof, is invalid
or unenforceable, then the court making such determination shall have the authority to narrow the provision or part of the provision as necessary to make it enforceable and the provision or part of the provision shall then be enforceable in
its/their narrowed form. In the event that any provision or part of any provision is determined to be legally invalid or unenforceable by any court and cannot be modified to be enforceable, the affected provision or part of such provision shall be
stricken, and the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions and its enforceability shall remain unaffected thereby. 

(c)    Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants provisions contained in
Sections 8, 9 and 10 do not preclude the Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on the Executive’s ability to earn a living. In the event that Executive violates any of the covenants in Section 9
and the Company commences legal action for injunctive or other equitable relief, the Company shall have the benefit of the full period of the Restrictive Covenant such that the restriction shall have the duration of twelve (12) months computed
from the date the Executive ceased violation of the covenants, either by order of the court or otherwise 
 (d)    For
all purposes of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, the “Company” shall be construed to include the Company, the Partnership and each of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions and related companies and entities, and their
respective predecessors, successors and assigns, now existing or hereafter created. The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment, without regard to the reasons therefore and whether
initiated by the Company or by Executive. 
 12.    Arbitration. All disputes, claims, or controversies arising
out of or in connection with Executive’s business relationship with the Company, the Partnership and each of their parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions and related companies and entities, and their respective predecessors, successors
and assigns, now existing or hereafter created, including but not limited to under this Agreement (except claims by Executive or the Company with respect to Sections 8, 9 and 10 herein, including for injunctive relief or declaratory judgment) and
including but not limited to those concerning workplace discrimination and all other statutory claims, shall be finally settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator who shall be a member of and recognized by the American Arbitration Association
(the “AAA”) in accordance with the AAA National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect. Any arbitration commenced by either Party shall be held in Trevose, Pennsylvania. The requirement to arbitrate does not
apply to the filing of an employment related claim, dispute or controversy with a federal, 







 
state or local administrative agency, including the EEOC and the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, Executive understands that by entering into this Agreement, Executive is waiving
Executive’s right to have a court and a jury determine Executive’s rights, including under federal, state and local statutes prohibiting employment discrimination, including sexual harassment and discrimination on the basis of age, sex,
race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other factor prohibited by governing law. The decision of the arbitrator shall contain findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be final and binding, and shall not be
appealable upon any grounds other than as permitted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The award, in the arbitrator’s discretion, may include reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Judgment on the award may be entered, confirmed and
enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. There shall be no right or authority for any disputes, claims or controversies to be arbitrated on a class action or collective action basis or together with the claim of any other person. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such arbitration, the AAA filing fee, arbitrator’s costs and administrative expenses shall be borne by the Company (unless Executive initiates the arbitration, in which case his portion of the
AAA filing fee shall be $200). 
 13.    Code Section 409A. 

(a)    The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Section
409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. Severance benefits under the Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section
409A under the “short-term deferral” exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exception, to the maximum extent applicable. In no event shall the Company be liable for any additional tax,
interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive under Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A; provided that amounts are paid in accordance with the terms set forth herein. 

(b)    A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement
providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of
this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” 

(c)    If the Executive is a Specified Employee, within the meaning of Section 409A, on the date of his “separation
from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), any amounts payable on account of such separation from service that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of
Section 409A shall be paid on the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service, or the date of Executive’s death, if earlier, but only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section
409A. 
 (d)    To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits
under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, (i) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the
taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive, (ii) any such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and
(iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. 







 (e)    For purposes of Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any
installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. 

(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this
Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A. 

14.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s operating agreement, the
Company shall promptly indemnify Executive for all amounts (including, without limitation, judgments, fines, settlement payments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)) incurred or paid by the Executive in
connection with any action, proceeding, suit or investigation arising out of or relating to the performance by the Executive of services for (or acting as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of) the Company, including
as a director, officer or employee of the Company. The Company also agrees to maintain a director’s and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the Executive. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Executive for the cost of a
supplemental D&O insurance policy for up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). The Company and the Executive shall enter into an indemnification agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. 

(b)    Attorneys’ Fees for Negotiation of this Agreement. The Company shall pay up to Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) in attorneys’ fees incurred by the Executive in connection with the review, negotiation and documentation of this Agreement, upon presentation of appropriate receipts for such fees. 

(c)    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any action permitted to be brought by this Agreement, pursuant to and consistent with Section 11 of this Agreement, shall be brought in the state or
federal courts in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and Executive consents to such jurisdiction. 

(d)    Consideration. Executive understands and agrees that the Company’s offer of employment and the
payments, benefits, terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute new and sufficient consideration to support Executive entering into the restrictive covenants set forth herein. 

(e)    Recitals. The introductory paragraph and the recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference.

 (f)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the
subject matter herein. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants, or undertakings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be
altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the Parties hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes and extinguishes all existing employment and similar or related agreements and promises between the
Executive and the Company, the Partnership and its affiliates and related entities. 







 (g)    No Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such Party’s rights or deprive such Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

(h)    Severability. If any provision or part or subpart of any provision in this Agreement or the application
thereof is construed to be overbroad, then the court making such determination shall have the authority to narrow the provision or part or subpart of the provision as necessary to make it enforceable and the provision or part or subpart of the
provision shall then be enforceable in its/their narrowed form. Moreover, each provision or part or subpart of each provision in this Agreement is independent of and severable from each other. In the event that any provision or part or subpart of
any provision in this Agreement is determined to be legally invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, the affected provision or part or subpart of such provision shall be stricken from
the Agreement, and the remaining provisions or parts or subparts of such provisions of the Agreement and its enforceability shall remain unaffected thereby 

(i)    Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive. The Company shall require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, within fifteen (15) days of such succession, expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place and Executive agrees that the covenants in Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Agreement shall likewise be
enforced. Upon such assignment and assumption, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such assignee. 

(j)    Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Company’s and the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. 

(k)    Notice. Any notice, consent, request, or other communication made or given in accordance with this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (x) in the case of personal delivery, when actually received, (y) in the case of delivery by email or telecopy, on the date of such delivery or, (z) if mailed, three
(3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or one (1) business day after mailing by a nationally recognized express mail delivery service, with instructions for
next-day delivery, addressed to his residence in the case of the Executive and/or to the Company’s General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, with a copy to, or at such other address or
person’s attention as each may specify by notice to the other. Executive hereby agrees to promptly provide the Company with written notice of any change in Executive’s address for as long as this Agreement remains in effect. 

(l)    Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal,
state, local, or foreign taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

(m)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the

 FORM SUBJECT TO CHANGES BY COMPENSATION COMMITTEE 

APPLICABLE TO ALL RECIPIENTS 

EXECUTIVE RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT 

UNDER THE 
 STONEMOR
PARTNERS L.P. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 This Restricted Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into as of [insert], 2017
(the “Agreement Date”), by and between StoneMor GP LLC (the “Company”), the general partner of and acting on behalf of StoneMor Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and Mark Miller, an
executive of the Company (the “Participant”). 
 BACKGROUND: 

In order to make certain awards to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, the Company maintains on behalf
of the Partnership the StoneMor Partners L.P. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by a Committee (as defined in the Plan) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company. The Committee has
determined to grant to the Participant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, an award (the “Award”) of Restricted Units (as defined in the Plan), but only effective upon and conditioned on satisfying time vesting conditions
set forth in this Agreement. The Participant has determined to accept such Award. Any initially capitalized terms and phrases used in this Agreement, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 

ARTICLE 1 
 AWARD OF
RESTRICTED UNITS 
 1.1    Grant of Units and Vesting. The Participant is hereby granted the following Units
under the Plan, but only effective upon and conditioned on satisfying the applicable vesting conditions contained herein, which will permit the Participant receive the following number of Units of the Partnership: 

 

			
	Date of Grant	  	[insert], 2017
	Total Number of Units	  	[$100,000/closing price] Units

 Units vest in equal monthly installments over the two (2) year period following the Date of Grant. 

Certificates for Units shall be issued to the Participant upon the vesting of any Units, subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, but
not limited to, Sections 6(d) and 8(f) of the Plan, and further subject to the Participant paying, or making suitable arrangements to pay, all applicable foreign, federal, state and local taxes, as more fully provided in Section 2.3 hereof, not
later than the period permitted by Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4) entitled “Short-term deferrals” and any successor guidance under the Code. 







 1.2    Forfeiture. All unvested Units hereunder are subject to the
forfeiture provisions of Section 1.4 hereof and to the clawback provision referenced in Section 2.2 hereof. 

1.3    Unit Distribution Rights (“UDRs”). The unvested Units shall be entitled to receive distributions
made by the Partnership to holders of common units. Any UDR payments will be made to the Participant on or promptly following the date on which the distributions are otherwise paid to the holders of common units; provided, however, in no event shall
the distribution payment be made later than 30 days following the date on which the Partnership pays such distributions to the holders of common units generally. 

1.4    Forfeiture of Unvested Units Upon Termination of Employment. In the event of the termination of the
employment of the Participant (whether voluntary or involuntary and regardless of the reason for the termination, or for no reason whatsoever) with the Company or its Affiliates, all Units which have not vested on the date of such termination shall
be deemed to be automatically forfeited, unless the Participant’s employment is on that date transferred to the Company or another Affiliate. If a Participant’s employment is with an Affiliate and that entity ceases to be an Affiliate, the
Participant’s employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be an Affiliate unless the Participant transfers employment to the Company or its remaining Affiliates. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to amend or
otherwise modify any employment agreement between the Company and the Participant. 
 1.5    Nonalienation of
Benefits. Participant shall not have the right to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey or encumber in whole or in part the unvested Units under this Agreement, and the right to receive any payment hereunder shall not be subject to
attainment, lien or other involuntary encumbrance. 
 ARTICLE 2 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

2.1    No Right Of Continued Service. The receipt of this Award does not give the Participant, and nothing in the
Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant, any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall affect any right which the Company or any of its Affiliates
may have to terminate the employment of the Participant. 
 2.2    Clawback. The Units and related UDRs are
subject to clawback under any clawback policies which are adopted by the Committee, as amended from time to time, including, but not limited to, clawback listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange imposed by SEC rules adopted pursuant to
Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. 
 2.3    Tax
Withholding. The Participant is responsible to pay to the Company, or make suitable arrangements to pay, all applicable foreign, federal, state and local tax withholding as a condition to receiving certificates for the vested Units and as a
condition to receiving payment of UDRs, not later than the period permitted by Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4) entitled “Short-term 

  
 2 








 
deferrals” and any successor guidance under the Code. The Company shall withhold a sufficient number of Units to equal all income tax payments due from the Participant in connection with
vested Units and receiving payment of UDRs and shall be responsible for paying such income tax payments on behalf of the Participant. 

2.4    Administration. Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee is vested with conclusive authority to interpret and
construe the Plan, to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan, and to make determinations with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, the Plan and awards made pursuant thereto. The authority to manage and control the
operation and administration of this Agreement shall be likewise vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Agreement by the
Committee, and any decision made by the Committee with respect to this Agreement, shall be final and binding and conclusive in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that such decision was made in bad faith. 

2.4    Effect of Plan; Construction. The entire text of the Plan is expressly incorporated herein by this reference
and so forms a part of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan under which the Units are granted, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and
prevail. The Units and this Agreement are each subject in all respects to, and the Company and the Participant each hereby agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may have been amended from time to time in
accordance with its terms; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Participant, without the Participant’s consent, of any rights earned or otherwise due to the Participant hereunder. 

2.6    Amendment, Supplement or Waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended, supplemented, or waived in whole or in
part, except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties to this Agreement. 
 2.7    Captions. The
captions at the beginning of each of the numbered Articles and Sections herein are for reference purposes only and will have no legal force or effect. Such captions will not be considered a part of this Agreement for purposes of interpreting,
construing or applying this Agreement and will not define, limit, extend, explain or describe the scope or extent of this Agreement or any of its terms and conditions. 

2.8    Governing Law. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUSIVELY BE
GOVERNED BY AND DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

Company’s records. 
 2.10    Severability. If any provision hereof is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the balance of such provision
to the extent it is not prohibited or unenforceable, nor invalidate the other provisions hereof. 
 2.11    Entire
Agreement; Counterparts; Construction. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or written, between the parties hereto, in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement, and embodies
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original against any party whose signature appears thereon. The rule of
construction that ambiguities in a document are construed against the draftsperson shall not apply to this Agreement. 

2.12    Binding Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the estate, heirs, beneficiaries and other representatives of the Participant. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and the Partnership and their respective successors and assigns.

construction, meaning, performance, or Participant’s rights hereunder shall be settled by arbitration, conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or its
successor, as amended from time to time. However, prior to submission to arbitration the Participant will attempt to resolve any disputes or disagreements with the Partnership over this Agreement amicably and informally, in good faith, for a period
not to exceed two weeks. Thereafter, the dispute or disagreement will be submitted to arbitration. At any time prior to a decision from the arbitrator(s) being rendered, the Participant and the Partnership may resolve the dispute by settlement. The
Participant and the Partnership shall equally share the costs charged by the American Arbitration Association or its successor, but the Participant and the Partnership shall otherwise be solely responsible for their own respective counsel fees and
expenses. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be made in writing, setting forth the award, the reasons for the decision and award and shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant and the Partnership. Further, neither Participant nor the
Partnership shall appeal any such award. Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award and may be enforced as such in accordance with the provisions of the award. THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL.

restrictions of, the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality and other post-employment provisions set forth in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the
Employment Agreement, which survive the cessation of your employment and are hereby incorporated by reference. 

10.    Cooperation Services. Both prior to and after the Separation Date, you agree to reasonably cooperate with
and provide assistance to the Company (for purposes of this Paragraph 10, including the Partnership and any affiliates and/or related entities), without any additional compensation, if called upon by authorized agents of the Company or the
Company’s attorneys for the purposes of the transition of your responsibilities as well as with regard to any lawsuit, claim, action, investigation, inquiry, administrative action or review or otherwise, that is currently pending or that may be
brought against the Company, or in connection with any internal investigation by the Company. You agree to make yourself reasonably available for interviews, meetings, depositions, hearings and/or trials without the need for subpoena or assurances
by the Company, providing any and all documents in your possession that relate to the proceedings, and providing assistance in locating any and all relevant notes and/or documents as necessary. Any cooperation shall be provided by you at
reasonable times and locations, with as much advance notice as possible by the Company. In any circumstance, to the extent you are required to incur out-of-pocket
expenses in connection with any cooperation that the Company may request of you (such as for travel), the Company will fully reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses upon presentation of appropriate receipts. 
 11.    Interpretation of Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended as or shall be construed as an admission or concession of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or any other Releasee as defined above. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
Pennsylvania and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule of law requiring construction against the draftsperson. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application. 

12.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the matters
contained herein and supersedes any and all prior representations, agreements, written or oral, expressed or implied; except for the post-employment provisions and restrictions of your Employment Agreement, which survive the cessation of your
employment and are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement may not be modified or amended

other than by an agreement in writing signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and be for the benefit of the parties as well as your heirs and the Company’s successors
and assigns. 
 13.    Acknowledgment. You acknowledge and agree that, subsequent to the cessation of your
employment, you shall not be eligible for any payments from the Company or Company-paid benefits, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

14.    Tax Matters. To the extent that payments under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A of the Code, the payments are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to comply. If you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of your separation from service, any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable under this Agreement as a result of, and within the first six (6) months
following, your separation from service, will become payable six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death, if required by Section
409A.    All references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “retirement” and the like in this Agreement shall mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A. Each payment under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may you directly or indirectly designate the calendar year of a payment under this Agreement. You acknowledge that
neither the Company nor its attorneys have provided any tax advice to you. 
 15.    Representations.
