NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are all hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.AMENDMENTS.

“Eighth Amendment” means that certain Eighth Amendment and Commitment Increase to Credit Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2018, among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
“Eighth Amendment Effective Date” means the date that all conditions of effectiveness set forth in Section 4 of the Eighth Amendment have been satisfied.
(b)The definition of “Real Property Collateral” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

1


“Real Property Collateral” means (a) all interests in real property owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary that are listed on Schedule 1.01(a), excluding (i) any such real property or funeral homes disposed of for which no substitution is required pursuant to Section 7.05(e) and (ii) real property listed on Schedule 2 to the Eighth Amendment, (b) the Additional Real Property Collateral, and (c) additional real property substituted as Collateral in accordance with Section 7.05(e).
(c)The definition of “Revolving Credit Facility” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof to read as follows:
As of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments is $200,000,000.
(d)Section 2.05(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence at the end thereof to read as follows:
For the avoidance of doubt, the sale or issuance by the Borrower of its Equity Interests in exchange for the retirement, purchase, prepayment or redemption of any Debt, is not considered to constitute the receipt of cash or Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower.
(e)Section 2.14(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending the first sentence thereof to read as follows:
Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request (x) an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments or an increase in the existing Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Commitment”), by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $25,000,000 after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two (2) such requests after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date.
(f)Article III of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 3.08 at the end thereof to read as follows:

3.08     LIBOR Successor Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR

2


for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(b)the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or
(c)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
As used above:

3


“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the Administrative Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time).
“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Borrower).
(g)Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending the first sentence thereof to read as follows:

6.11    Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions (a) to repay certain indebtedness, (b) for working capital and Acquisitions, (c) to make certain Capital Expenditures, (d) to pay the accrued interest on the Subordinated Debt and Refinancing Subordinated Debt, (e) for general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document and (f) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem all or any portion of Subordinated Debt and Refinancing Subordinated Debt (including, but not limited to principal amounts).
(h)Article VI of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 6.20 at the end thereof to read as follows:

6.20    Eighth Amendment Post-Closing Requirements. Execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks set forth on Schedule 6.20, in each case within the time limits specified on such Schedule.
(i)Section 7.06(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(iv)    so long as there exists no Default both before and after giving effect to any such transaction (which shall include calculation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 on a pro forma basis as of the fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding any proposed Restricted Payment), the Borrower may (A) make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest on (i) Subordinated Debt within the terms specified in the definition of Subordinated Debt as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) Refinancing Subordinated Debt within the terms specified in the definition of Refinancing Subordinated Debt as set forth in this Agreement, (B) make cash payments required to be made upon conversion of Subordinated Debt, provided that

4


(x) with respect to the conversion of Subordinated Debt, such cash payments are made solely with the proceeds of Refinancing Subordinated Debt, (y) immediately after giving pro-forma effect to the making of such cash payments, (i) the Leverage Ratio on a pro-forma basis is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and (ii) Liquidity is at least $15,000,000 or (z) the Borrower may make up to $3,000,000 in cash payments required to be made upon conversion of Subordinated Debt so long as immediately after giving pro-forma effect to the making of such cash payments Liquidity is at least $15,000,000 and (C) prepay, repay, purchase or redeem all or a portion of the Subordinated Debt in cash with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, provided that after giving pro-forma effect to each such cash payment (x) Liquidity is at least $10,000,000 and (y) the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is at least 0.25 less than the then maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.11(a).
(j)Section 7.11(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(a)    Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. Permit the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the end of any period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters of the Borrower set forth below to be greater than the ratio opposite such period:
