Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to the Merger and Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended to date, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among StoneMor Partners L.P. (the "Partnership"), StoneMor GP LLC (now StoneMor Inc. ("StoneMor Inc.")) and certain of their affiliates, at the effective time of the merger on December 31, 2019 (the "Effective Time"), each Series A Preferred Unit held by the reporting person converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of StoneMor Inc. ("StoneMor Inc. Common Shares").

2. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(e), StoneMor Inc. is the successor issuer to the Partnership for purposes of Section 16.

3. Each restricted phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit representing limited partner interests. Restricted phantom units become payable, in cash or common units, at the election of the issuer, upon the separation of the reporting person from service as a director or upon the occurrence of certain other events specified in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted phantom units originally granted to the reporting person pursuant to the StoneMor Amended and Restated 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan was assumed by StoneMor Inc. and converted into an award denominated in shares of StoneMor Inc. restricted phantom common stock ("StoneMor Inc. Phantom Stock Award") equal to the number of restricted phantom units that were subject to such award of restricted phantom units prior to the Effective Time. Each StoneMor Inc. Phantom Stock Award is subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award of restricted phantom units immediately before the Effective Time.
