 All payments shall be applied in accordance with the Agreement (as defined below). The acceptance by Lender of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of

for a description of the properties and assets in which a security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security interest, the terms and conditions upon which the security interest was granted and the rights of the holder of the
Note in respect thereof. 
 Time is of the essence hereof. If Lender does not receive from Borrower payment in full of any Scheduled Payment
or any other sum due under this Note or any other Debt Document within [*] after its due date, Borrower agrees to pay the Late Fee in accordance with the Agreement. Such Late Fee will be immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other
costs, fees and expenses that Borrower may owe as a result of such late payment. 
 This Note may be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4 of
the Agreement. After an Event of Default, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Agreement. 
 Borrower and all parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, hereby waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in
connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agree to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including attorneys’
fees and expenses, including allocable costs of in-house counsel. 
 THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.

adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.03; provided, however, that at all times on or after the Termination Date, the “Borrowing Limit” shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances at such
time.” 

 1.2 The definition of “Excess Concentration Amount” in Section 1.01 of the
Credit Agreement is amended to add the following as a new clause (c): 
 “(c) at any time, the sum (without duplication)
of:

Documents to which it is a party or under the Loan Documents with any of the officers or employees of such Brooke Party having knowledge of such matters; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent
shall conduct no more than four audits during the first twelve months after the Closing Date and no more than two audits during any twelve-month period thereafter; and provided further that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Agent for expenses incurred in connection with the audits performed in any single calendar year, including expenses incurred in the review of the Servicer’s and the Backup Master Agent
Servicer’s books and records in connection therewith, shall not exceed $25,000. In addition, the Agent may, at the expense of the Borrower, (i) perform or direct the Seller or the Parent to (x) perform background checks on any

both senior and subordinated debt) when calculating the relevant multiples (excluding only subordinated debt that (x) has been sold to a third party that is not an Affiliate of any Brooke Party and (y) is non-recourse to the relevant
Obligor, to any Brooke Party or to any Affiliate of any Brooke Party).”

(d) has not had any material collateral securing such Loan released from the lien granted by the related Loan Documents, other than, in the case of (b) and (d) of this clause (iv), other Permitted Loan Modifications described in
clauses (b) and (d) of the definition thereof;” 
 1.10 Clause (x) of the definition of “Eligible

until the Agent shall have confirmed in writing that it has completed its due diligence with respect to the Funeral Home Loans (including, without limitation, receipt of background checks and completion of onsite due diligence reviews of Johnson
Consulting), in each case with results satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion.”
