“Partnership”), StoneMor Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Operating Company”), the Subsidiaries of the Operating Company set forth on the signature pages hereto (together with the Operating
Company, each individually a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers” and together with the General Partner and the Partnership, each individually a “Credit Party” and collectively, the
“Credit Parties”), the Lenders party hereto, and Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and as
Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. 
 BACKGROUND 

A. Pursuant to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, entered into on December 19, 2014, by and among the Credit
Parties, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders agreed, inter alia, to extend to the Borrowers a revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of One Hundred
Eighty Million Dollars ($180,000,000). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. 

B. The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to permit the Borrower discretion as to the tranches of Loans to
which mandatory prepayments are to be applied under the Credit Agreement. 
 C. The Lenders party hereto are willing to agree to such
amendment on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, at the request of the Credit Parties, and based on
the representations set forth below, the Lenders hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Amendment to Section 2.05(b)(iv). Subparagraph
(b)(iv) of Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

(iv) Promptly, but in any event, no later than on the day of the Borrower’s receipt of any amounts required to be prepaid
to Lenders under Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii), or (iii), the Borrower shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying (A) the date that such prepayment is required to be made and the amount required to be
paid, (B) whether the Loans to be prepaid will be Working Capital Draws or Acquisition Draws, as the Borrower may elect, (C) the Type(s) of Loans the Borrower is requesting be prepaid, and (D) if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be
prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If the Borrower fails either to (1) deliver such a notice or (2) specify which tranches of Loan(s) are to be prepaid (i.e., Working Capital Draws or Acquisition Draws),


  
 1 








 
the required prepayments received shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi); provided that, absent such notice or specification, amounts applied to Revolving Credit Loans will
be applied first to any Working Capital Draws and second to any Acquisition Draws. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of outstanding Acquisition Draws shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of Acquisition Draws in inverse order of maturity (and in inverse order of the date of
each draw to the extent any two or more Acquisition Draws have any identical maturity dates). 
 2. Representations and Warranties.

 (a) Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, as to such Credit Party:

(ii) Power and Authority. (A) Such Credit Party has the power and authority under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization

or appropriate for the due execution and full performance by such Credit Party of the First Amendment have been adopted and taken and, upon their execution, the Credit Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment will constitute the valid and
binding obligations of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by any Debtor Relief Law from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors rights in
general and the availability of equitable remedies; 
 (iii) No Violation. The making and performance of this First Amendment will
not (A) contravene, conflict with or result in a breach or default under any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction, judgment, ruling or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental instrumentality,
(B) contravene, constitute a default under, conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the

Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject or (C) contravene or violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership

any Secured Party has against any Credit Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and/or applicable law, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2 proving to be false or incorrect in any material respect. 
 4. Waiver of Claims. The Credit Parties hereby waive any
