 Exhibit 10.1 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated February 26, 2015, is effective as of August 26, 2014, between StoneMor GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Company”), and the undersigned director of the Company (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company has adopted
a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) providing for indemnification of the Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “State
Statute”); and 
 WHEREAS, the LLC Agreement and State Statute contemplate that contracts and insurance policies may be entered into
with respect to indemnification of directors; and 
 WHEREAS, there are questions concerning the adequacy and reliability of the protection
which might be afforded to directors and officers from acquisition of policies of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (“D&O Insurance”), covering certain liabilities which might be incurred by directors in the performance of
their services to the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to
indemnify Indemnitee so that he will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that he will not be adequately protected; and 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on condition that
he be so indemnified; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do
hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 

(a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, inquiry or proceeding, whether brought by
or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee is or will be involved as a party, as a witness or otherwise, by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director or agent of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as a director or agent or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or
expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement; provided that any such action, suit or proceeding that is brought by Indemnitee against that Company or directors or officers of the Company, other
than an action brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a Proceeding without prior approval by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(b) The term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, any judgments, fines and penalties against Indemnitee in connection with
a Proceeding; amounts paid by Indemnitee in settlement of a Proceeding; and all attorneys’ fees and disbursements, accountants’ fees, private investigation fees and 

 
disbursements, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, fees and expenses of witnesses, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges,
postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements, or expenses, reasonably incurred by or for Indemnitee in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding or establishing Indemnitee’s right of entitlement to indemnification for any of the foregoing. 
 (c) References to
“other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “Fines” shall include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall
include any service as a director or agent of the Company that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Company” as referred to in this
Agreement. 
 (d) The term “substantiating documentation” shall mean copies of bills or invoices for costs incurred by or for
Indemnitee, or copies of court or agency orders or decrees or settlement agreements, as the case may be, accompanied by a sworn statement from Indemnitee that such bills, invoices, court or agency orders or decrees or settlement agreements,
represent costs or liabilities meeting the definition of “Expenses” herein. 
 (e) The terms “he” and “his”
have been used for convenience and mean “she” and “her” if Indemnitee is a female. 
 2. Indemnity of Director.
The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law (including the applicable provisions of the State Statute). The phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by
law” shall include, but not be limited to (i) to the fullest extent permitted by any provision of the State Statute that authorizes or permits additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or
replacement of the State Statute and (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the State Statute adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a limited liability
company may indemnify its directors. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of the State Statute that adversely affects any right of Indemnitee shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding
involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal. 
 3.
Additional Indemnity. The Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses incurred by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including, without limitation, any predecessor, subsidiary or affiliated entity of the
Company, provided that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the
Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or, in the case 

 
of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order of the court, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that
the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 4. Choice of Counsel. If Indemnitee is not an officer of the Company, he, together
with the other directors who are not officers of the Company (the “Outside Directors”), shall be entitled to employ, and be reimbursed for the fees and disbursements of, counsel separate from that chosen by Indemnitees who are officers of
the Company. The principal counsel for Outside Directors (“Principal Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote of the Outside Directors, and the Principal Counsel for the Indemnitees who are not Outside Directors (“Separate
Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote of such Indemnitees. The obligation of the Company to reimburse Indemnitee for the fees and disbursements of counsel hereunder shall not extend to the fees and disbursements of any counsel employed
by Indemnitee other than Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, unless, in the opinion of other counsel for Indemnitee, concurred in by Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, Indemnitee may have defenses
available to him that are in addition to or different from those of the other Indemnitees such that there is a substantial possibility that Principal Counsel of Separate Counsel, as the case may be, will have a conflict of interest in representing
Indemnitee. 
 5. Advances of Expenses. Expenses (other than judgments, penalties, fines and settlements) incurred by Indemnitee
shall be paid by the Company, in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, within 10 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request accompanied by substantiating documentation and Indemnitee’s written affirmation that he has
met the standard of conduct for indemnification and a written undertaking to repay such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. No objections based on or involving the question whether
such charges meet the definition of “Expenses,” including any question regarding the reasonableness of such Expenses, shall be grounds for failure to advance to such Indemnitee, or to reimburse such Indemnitee for, the amount claimed
within such 10-day period, and the undertaking of Indemnitee set forth in Section 7 hereof to repay any such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to include an
undertaking to repay any such amounts determined not to have met such definition. 
 6. Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon
Application; Procedure Upon Application. Any indemnification under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 5 hereof, shall be made no later than 45 days after receipt by the Company of the written request of Indemnitee, accompanied
by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said 45-day period by (1) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (2) by a
committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the Board of Directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion or
(4) by the members, that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 3 hereof. 
 The
right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Company. Neither the failure
of the Company (including its Board of Directors, committee thereof, independent legal counsel or members) to have made a determination 

 
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct, nor an actual determination by the
Company (including its Board of Directors, committee thereof, independent legal counsel or members) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met
the applicable standard of conduct. 
 7. Undertaking by Indemnitee. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the Company any
advances of Expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 

8. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the LLC Agreement, the State Statute, D&O Insurance, any agreement, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office; provided, however, that this Agreement supersedes all prior written indemnification agreements between the Company (or any predecessor thereof) and Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter hereof. However, Indemnitee shall
reimburse the Company for amounts paid to him pursuant to such other rights to the extent such payments duplicate any payments received pursuant to this Agreement. 

9. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
Indemnitee is a director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise) and shall
continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding. 
 10. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee
is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such
Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
 11. Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under
this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without
Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award
if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action. 
 12.
Enforcement. 
 (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations
imposed on the Company hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing as a director. 

 (b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action or other proceeding to enforce rights
or to collect money due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee’s Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action. 

13. Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination. 

(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs,
personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns. 
 (c) No amendment, modification,
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Company and Indemnitee. 
 14.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way affected or impaired
thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Each section of this Agreement is a
separate and independent portion of this Agreement. If the indemnification to which Indemnitee is entitled as respects any aspect of any claim varies between two or more sections of this Agreement, that section providing the most comprehensive
indemnification shall apply. 
 15. Notice. Notice to the Company shall be directed to StoneMor GP LLC, 311 Veterans Highway,
Levittown, Pennsylvania 19056, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Notice to Indemnitee shall be directed to the address set forth under his signature hereto. The foregoing addresses may be changed from time to time by the addressee upon notice to
the other parties. 
 Notice shall be deemed received three days after the date postmarked if sent by prepaid mail, properly addressed.

position(s) as an officer or management employee of the Employer as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, including, without limitation, any adverse change in his status or position as an employee of the Employer as a result of a
material diminution in his duties or responsibilities or the assignment to him of any duties or responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with such status or position(s) (other than any isolated and inadvertent failure by the Employer that
is cured promptly upon his giving notice), or any removal of the Eligible Employee from or any failure to reappoint or reelect him to such position(s) (except in connection with the Eligible Employee’s Severance other than for Good Reason).

 (2) A 10% or greater reduction in the Eligible Employee’s aggregate base salary and targeted bonus from the aggregate base salary
and targeted bonus that was in effective immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, but disregarding any reduction in targeted bonus which occurs in accordance with the terms of any written bonus program as it reads immediately
prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control. 
 (3) The failure by the Employer or any successor to continue in effect any employee
benefit plan (excluding any equity compensation plan) in which the

Eligible Employee is participating at the time of the Change in Control (or plans providing the Eligible Employee with similar benefits that are not materially reduced in the aggregate) other
than as a result of the normal expiration of any such plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or the taking of any action, or the failure to act, by the Employer or any successor which would adversely

(4) The Employer’s requiring the Eligible Employee to be based at an office that is both more than 50 miles from where his office is

(p) “Severance Date” means the date on which the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance. 

2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Effective Date through December 31, 2015; provided, however,
that (a) the Agreement shall automatically extend for additional one-year terms unless the Company provides written notice to the Eligible Employee not less than six months before the end of the then-current term; and (b) the Agreement
shall automatically extend until the end of the Change in Control Protection Period if a Change in Control occurs during the term of the Agreement. 

3. Change in Control Severance Benefits. 

(a) Generally. Subject to subsections (h) and (i) below and Section 4, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to
the Change in Control Severance Benefits provided in this Section 3 if he or she incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period. If the Eligible Employee becomes entitled to receive compensation or benefits under the terms of
this Section 3, such compensation or benefits will be reduced by other severance benefits payable under any plan, program, policy or 

  
 4 

 
practice of or agreement or other arrangement between the Eligible Employee and the Company. It is intended that the net effect to the Eligible Employee of entitlement to any similar benefits
that are contained both in this Agreement and in any other existing plan, program, policy or practice of or agreement or arrangement between the Eligible Employee and the Company will be to provide the Eligible Employee with the greater of the
benefits under this Agreement or under such other plan, program, policy, practice, or agreement or arrangement. 
 (b) Payment of
Accrued Obligations. If the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Company shall pay to him a lump sum payment in cash, no later than 10 days after the Severance Date (or the date of the
Change in Control, if later), equal to the sum of (1) the Eligible Employee’s accrued annual base salary and any accrued vacation pay through the Severance Date, (2) the Eligible Employee’s annual bonus earned for the fiscal year
immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Severance Date occurs if such bonus has not been paid as of the Severance Date; and (3) the Eligible Employee’s targeted cash bonus for the year in which the Severance occurs, pro-rated
based upon the number of days the Eligible Employee was employed during such year. 
 (c) Payment of Severance. Subject to
subsections (h) and (i) below and Section 4, if the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Company shall pay to him a lump sum cash payment, no later than 10 days after the Severance
Date (or the date of the Change in Control, if later), equal to two and ninety-nine one-hundredths (2.99) times the Eligible Employee’s Final Pay. 

(d) [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(e) [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(f) Benefit Continuation. Subject to subsections (h) and (i) below and Section 4, if the Eligible Employee incurs
a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, commencing on the date immediately following such Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and continuing for 24 months (or such lesser time as required to avoid the imposition of additional
taxes under Section 409A of the Code) (the “Welfare Benefit Continuation Period”), the Company shall cover the Eligible Employee under the same type of Employer-sponsored group health plan and dental plan (e.g., individual or
family coverage) and group life insurance in which he was covered as of his Severance Date. The Eligible Employee shall receive such continued coverage under the same terms and conditions (e.g., any requirement that employees pay all or any
portion of the cost of such coverage) that would apply if the Eligible Employee had continued to be an employee of the Employer during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period. 

For each month during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period in which the Eligible Employee’s continued coverage under an insured plan
is not possible, the Company shall, in lieu of providing the coverage described in the preceding paragraph, 

  
 5 

 
make a monthly cash payment to the Eligible Employee equal to the monthly premium the Employer would be charged for coverage of a similarly-situated employee. The Company shall not be obligated
to “gross up” or otherwise compensate the Eligible Employee for any taxes due on amounts paid pursuant to the preceding sentence. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (f), the Company’s obligation to provide continued coverage (or, in lieu thereof,
make a cash payment) pursuant to this subsection (f) shall expire on the date the Eligible Employee becomes covered under one or more plans sponsored by a new employer (other than a successor to the Company) that, at the sole discretion of the
Administrator, are determined to provide coverage at least equivalent in the aggregate to the benefits continued under this subsection (f). The coverage period for purposes of the group health continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the
Code shall commence at the expiration of the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period. 
 (g) Outplacement Services. Subject to
subsection (i) below and Section 4, if the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Company shall provide him with reasonable outplacement services for up to 12 months following the Severance
Date. 
 (h) Release. The Eligible Employee shall not be eligible to receive any Change in Control Severance Benefits provided
in this Section 3 (other than payments under Section 3(b)) unless he first executes a written release and agreement provided by the Company and does not revoke such release and agreement within the time permitted therein for such
revocation. 
 (i) Restriction on Timing of Distribution. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (1) on
the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date, any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) and (2) as a result of such
termination, the Eligible Employee would receive any payment that, absent the application of this Section 3(i), would be subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application
of Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (x) six months after the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date, (y) the Eligible Employee’s death or
(z) such other date as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional tax. 
 4. Reduction of Change in
Control Severance Benefits. 
 (a) Reduction of Payments. To the extent necessary to avoid imposition of the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code in connection with a Change in Control, the amounts payable or benefits to be provided to the Eligible Employee shall be reduced such that the reduction of compensation to be provided to the Eligible Employee is
minimized. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times,
such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below zero). 

  
 6 

 (b) Determination. The determination that the Eligible Employee’s Payment would
cause him to become subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and the calculation of the amount of any reduction, shall be made, at the Company’s discretion, by the Company’s outside auditing firm or by a
nationally-recognized accounting or benefits consulting firm designated by the Company prior to a Change in Control. The firm’s expenses shall be paid by the Company. 

(c) Payment of Remaining Benefits. If a determination is made that the Eligible Employee’s Change in Control Severance Benefits
provided in Section 3(c) must be reduced, payment of the remaining Change in Control Severance Benefits provided in Section 3(c) shall be made in a lump sum cash payment no later than 10 days after the latter of the Severance
Date or the date the determination is made. 
 5. Taxes; Withholding. The Eligible Employee shall be responsible for the payment of
all applicable local, state and federal taxes associated with the Eligible Employee’s receipt of Change in Control Severance Benefits hereunder, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any distributions hereunder any such taxes or
other amounts required by law to be withheld therefrom. 
 6. Claims Procedures. 

(a) Applications for Benefits and Inquiries. Any application for benefits, inquiries about this Agreement or inquiries about
present or future rights under this Agreement must be submitted to the Administrator in writing. 
 (b) Denial of Claims. In the
event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator must notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial of the application, and of the applicant’s right to review the denial. The written notice of
denial will be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the applicant, and will include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the applicant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the review procedure, including the applicant’s right to bring a
civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse decision on review. This written notice will be given to the applicant within 90 days after the Administrator receives the application, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time, in which case, the Administrator has up to an additional 90 days. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial 90-day period. This notice of
extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision on the application. 

(c) Request for a Review. Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is
denied, in whole or in part, may 

  
 7 

 
appeal the denial by submitting a written request for a review to the Administrator within 60 days after the application is denied. The Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her
authorized representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a review and submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. 

(d) Decision on Review. The Administrator will provide written notice of its decision on review within 60 days after receipt of
the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional 60 days). If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial 60-day
period. This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision on review. In the event that the Administrator confirms the denial of the
application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for the decision, the specific provisions of this Agreement upon which the decision is based, a
statement that the applicant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the applicant’s claim for benefits, and a statement of the
applicant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
 (e) Rules and Procedures. The Administrator may
establish rules and procedures, consistent with this Agreement and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. 

7. Immediate Vesting of Equity-Based Compensation Awards upon a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of
this Agreement, (1) the unexercised portions of all Options and SARs (as defined in the Incentive Plan) granted to the Eligible Employee under the Incentive Plan that have not expired or been forfeited pursuant to their terms shall
automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable, (2) the restrictions and conditions on all outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the Incentive Plan) granted to the Eligible Employee that have not expired
or been forfeited pursuant to their terms shall immediately lapse and such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall vest, and (3) all outstanding Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock (as defined in the Incentive Plan) granted to
the Eligible Employee that are based upon performance of the Company over a certain period of time shall become payable at the Eligible Employee’s target payment for the relevant performance period (regardless of the amount of the relevant
performance period that precedes the Change in Control). Where a Severance precedes the Change in Control (i.e., by operation of clause (1) of Section 1(g)) and the terms of any award granted to the Eligible Employee under the Incentive
Plan would otherwise call for the forfeiture of such award upon the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company, such award shall not be deemed to be forfeited on account of the Eligible Employee’s Severance and
shall remain outstanding (subject to the other terms of the award, including its original term) as if the Change in Control preceded the Severance.

 8. General Provisions 

(a) Amendment and Termination. This Agreement may not be terminated prior to the end of its term without the written consent of the
Eligible Employee. This Agreement may be amended by the Committee at any time; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of the Eligible Employee if such amendment would in any manner
adversely affect the rights of the Eligible Employee under this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein or
by law, no right or interest of the Eligible Employee under this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment,
attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Eligible Employee is unable to care for his affairs when a payment is due under this Agreement to the
Eligible Employee, payment may be made directly to his legal guardian or personal representative. 
 (c) Compliance with Law.
Notwithstanding subsection (a) above or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may amend, modify or terminate this Agreement, without the consent of the Eligible Employee, as the Company deems necessary or
appropriate to ensure compliance with any law, rule, regulation or other regulatory pronouncement applicable to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations or other guidance thereunder.

 (d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to the
extent not preempted by federal law, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. 

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included. 

(f) Headings and Terms. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part
of the Agreement, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Agreement. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings given herein. Singular nouns shall be read as plural and masculine pronouns shall be read as feminine, and vice versa, as
appropriate. 
 (g) No Assurance of Employment. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Eligible
Employee nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving the Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and the Eligible Employee shall remain subject to
discharge to the same extent as if this Agreement had never been entered into. 

  
 9 

 (h) Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including the Eligible Employee and any successor to the Company. If the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period but dies
before his Change in Control Severance Benefits have been fully paid, any unpaid amounts shall be paid to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the Eligible Employee’s estate in a lump sum payment no later than the
fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the Eligible Employee’s death. 
 (i) Notice. For purposes of this
Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered, sent by overnight courier, or mailed by first-class, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telegram, telecopy, or telex, addressed, in the case of the Eligible Employee, to the Eligible Employee’s address as shown on the Company’s records, and, in the case of the
Company or the Administrator, to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of the General Counsel or to the Chairman of the Committee, as applicable, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 (j) Entire Agreement. This
Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any and all prior agreements or understandings with respect to such matters are hereby superseded.
