hereunder; provided, however, that if the Executive has been indicted or otherwise formally charged by governmental authorities with any felony, the Company’s Board may in its sole discretion, and without limiting the
Company’s Board’s discretion to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, suspend the Executive without continuation of any compensation or benefits hereunder, pending final disposition of such criminal charge(s). Upon receiving
notice of any such suspension, the Executive shall promptly leave the premises of the Company and remain off such premises and the premises of StoneMor Operating LLC or any subsidiary thereof until further notice from the Company’s Board.

  

	 	7.	Covenants of the Executive 

7.01. During the Employment Period and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly:

 a. solicit, entice, persuade or induce any employee, director, officer, associate, consultant, agent or independent
contractor of the Company to terminate his or her employment or engagement by the Company to become employed or engaged in competition with the Company by any person, firm, corporation or other business enterprise other than a member of the Company,
except in furtherance of his responsibility during the Employment Period; or 
 b. authorize or assist in the taking of such
action by any third party. 
 For purposes of this Paragraph 7.01, the terms “employee,” “director,”
“officer,” “associate,” “consultant,” “agent,” and “independent contractor” shall include any person with 

  
 Page 9 of 14

 
such status at any time during the one (1) year prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment and for one year following the Executive’s termination of employment. The
Executive shall not be deemed to have violated the provisions of this Paragraph 7.01 by reason of an isolated act, or failure to act, not taken in bad faith. 
 7.02. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, engage, participate, make any financial investment in, or become
employed by or render advisory or other services to or for any person, firm, corporation or other business enterprise (the “Competing Enterprise”) which is engaged, directly or indirectly, during the Employment Period or at the time of
Executive’s termination of employment, as the case may be, in any business of the type and 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. The foregoing covenant shall not be construed to preclude the Executive from making any investments in the securities of any company, whether or not engaged in competition with the Company, to the extent that such
securities are actively traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the United States or any foreign securities exchange and, after giving effect to such investment, the Executive does not beneficially own
securities representing more than 5% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of such company. 
 7.03. The
covenant periods set forth in Paragraphs 7.01 and 7.02 may be terminated earlier as determined by the Company’s Board, in its sole discretion, if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated other than for “Cause” as defined
in Paragraph 6.01(c) and (ii) the Executive’s termination of employment does not occur within thirty (30) days of a “Change in Control.” For purposes of this Paragraph 7.03, a “Change in Control” is defined as
(i) a bona fide sale of all of the ownership interest of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person or entity other than an affiliate; or (ii) a merger, reorganization, consolidation, or other transaction where
more than 50% of the combined voting power of the equity interests in the Company ceases to be owned by persons or affiliates of persons who own such interests at the Effective Date of this Agreement; or (iii) acquisition of forty
(40%) percent of equity interests of the Company by any person not currently part of Company ownership except where the person is an Employee Benefit Fund or one who effects the purchase at the request of or with approval of the Company Board.

 7.04. During the Employment Period and thereafter without limit as to time, the Executive will not (other than in the regular
course and in furtherance of the Company’s business) divulge, furnish or make available to any person any knowledge or information with respect to the business or affairs of the Company which is confidential, including, without limitation,
“know-how,” trade secrets, customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition or disposition plans, new personnel employment plans, methods,
technical processes, designs and design projects, inventions and research projects and financial budgets and forecasts of the Company except (1) information which at the time is available to others in the business or generally known to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by the Company not permitted hereunder, and (2) when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a
committee thereof) with purported or apparent jurisdiction to order the Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. All memoranda, notes, lists, records, electronically stored data, recordings or videotapes and other
documents (and all copies 

  
 Page 10 of 14

 
thereof) made or compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive (whether during his employment by the Company or by any predecessor thereof) concerning the business of the Company
or any predecessor thereof shall be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of the Employment Period. 
 7.05. The Executive acknowledges that all developments, including, without limitation, inventions, patentable or otherwise, trade secrets, discoveries, improvements, ideas and writings that alone or
jointly with others the Executive may conceive, make, develop or acquire during the period of his employment by the Company and any predecessor thereof (collectively, the “Developments”), are and shall remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Company and the Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of his right, title and interest in all such Developments. The Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all future Developments to the Company’s Board, and, at any
time upon request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company all instruments that the Company shall prepare, give evidence, and take all other actions that are necessary or desirable in the reasonable
opinion of the Company’s counsel, to enable the Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain and enforce all letters patent, trademark registrations or copyrights covering the Developments in all countries in which
the same are deemed necessary. 
 7.06. The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by the Executive are of a
special, unique and extraordinary character and, in connection with such services, the Executive will have access to and be furnished with confidential information vital to the Company’s business and that irreparable injury would be sustained
by the Company in the event of his breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 7, which injury could not be remedied adequately by the recovery of damages in an action at law. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that, upon a breach or
threatened breach by him of any of such covenants, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to and not in lieu of any and all other remedies, to an injunction to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction restraining the commission or
continuance of any such breach or threatened breach upon minimal bond, with or without surety, and that such an injunction will not work an undue hardship on him. The Executive acknowledges that the covenant periods set forth in this section shall
be extended by the period of any breach by the Executive. Further, any proven breach by the Executive shall result in the forfeiture of any remaining payments of benefits due to the Executive hereunder. 

7.07. The provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, without regard to the reasons therefore.

 7.08. If any court determines that any of the provisions of this Paragraph 7 is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
such provisions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions. If any court construes any of the provisions of this Paragraph 7, or any part thereof, to be unreasonable because of the duration
of such provision or the geographic scope thereof, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or restrict the geographic scope of such provision and to enforce such provision as so reduced or restricted.

	 	8.	Reimbursement of Business Expense 

 During the Employment Period, the Executive is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out his duties and responsibilities under the Agreement, and the Company shall promptly
reimburse him for all such reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with carrying out the business of the Company, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policy. 

 

	 	9.	Indemnification

 To the
fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s by-laws, the Company shall promptly indemnify the 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
to the extent the Company provides such coverage for its other executive officers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

 

	 	10.	Miscellaneous 

 10.01.
This Agreement is intended to be performed in, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of, the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and
state courts, whichever is applicable, located in said state.
