                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
     Service Corporation International was incorporated in Texas on July 5,
1962. The term "Company" includes the registrant and its subsidiaries, unless
the context indicates otherwise.
 
     The Company is the largest publicly-held funeral/cemetery company in North
America. At December 31, 1993, the Company operated 792 funeral homes and 192
cemeteries located in 39 states, the District of Columbia, four provinces in
Canada and five Australian states, and other funeral and cemetery related
businesses. In addition, the Company provides capital financing to independent
funeral home and cemetery operators.
 
     In 1993, the Company acquired an Australian funeral/cemetery company. This
was the Company's first acquisition of a firm located outside of North America.
Including this acquisition, the Company in 1993 acquired 124 funeral homes and
21 cemeteries through acquisitions. The Company has acquired most of its present
operations through acquisitions and has from time to time divested itself of
certain properties and/or operations previously acquired. The Company continues
to review the possible acquisition of various related businesses. For
information regarding acquisitions of funeral home and cemetery operations in
1993, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form
10-K.
 
     For financial information about the Company's industry segments, including
the identifiable assets of the Company by industry segments, see Note 14 to the
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
 
FUNERAL SERVICES OPERATION
 
     The Funeral Services Operation consists of the Company's funeral homes,
cemeteries and related businesses. The operation is organized into six domestic
and two foreign (Australia and Canada) regional groups, each of which is under
the direction of a regional president. Canadian operations are carried out by a
public company which is approximately 70% owned by the Company. Local funeral
home and cemetery managers, under the direction of the regional presidents,
receive support and resources from Houston headquarters and have substantial
autonomy with respect to the manner in which services are conducted.
 
     To enhance operational efficiency, the majority of the Company's funeral
homes and cemeteries within a region are managed in groups called clusters. The
clusters, primarily designated in metropolitan areas, allow funeral homes and
cemeteries to share operating expenses such as service personnel, vehicles,
preparation services, clerical staff and certain building facility costs.
 
     Funeral Homes. The funeral homes provide all professional services relating
to funerals, including the use of funeral facilities and motor vehicles. Funeral
homes sell caskets, burial vaults, cremation receptacles, flowers and burial
garments and also operate 75 crematories. The Funeral Services Operation owns 84
funeral home/cemetery combinations and operates 50 flower shops engaged
principally in the design and sale of funeral floral arrangements. These flower
shops provide floral arrangements to some of the Company's funeral homes and
cemeteries.
 
     The Company markets prearranged funeral services. Funeral prearrangement is
a means through which a customer contractually agrees to the terms of a funeral
to be performed in the future. Payments on prearranged funerals currently
offered by the Company are deposited into trust funds or are used to purchase
life insurance or annuity contracts issued primarily by third party insurers.
Funds paid on prearranged funerals may not be withdrawn until death or
cancellation by the customer. For additional information concerning prearranged
funeral activities, see Notes 4 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements
in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
 
     The Funeral Services Operation has multiple funeral homes and cemeteries in
a number of metropolitan areas. Within individual metropolitan areas, the
funeral homes and cemeteries operate under various names because most operations
were acquired as going businesses and continue to be operated under the same
name as before acquisition.
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   3
 
     The death rate tends to be somewhat higher in the winter months and the
funeral homes generally experience a higher volume of business during those
months.
 
     The funeral home industry is characterized by a large number of independent
operations, the vast majority of which are locally owned and operated. The
Company believes that there are in excess of 22,000 funeral homes operating in
the United States. There are many entities operating multiple branches, but none
have as many funeral homes or cover as many geographic areas as the Company. In
order to compete successfully, each of the Company's funeral homes must maintain
competitive prices, attractive, well-maintained and conveniently located
facilities, a good reputation and high professional standards.
 
     In April 1984, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) comprehensive trade
regulation rule for the funeral industry became fully effective. The rule
contains minimum guidelines for funeral industry practices, requires extensive
price and other affirmative disclosures and imposes mandatory itemization of
funeral goods and services. A pre-existing consent order between the Company and
the FTC applicable to certain funeral practices of the Company was amended in
1984 to make the consent order consistent with the funeral trade regulation
rule. From time to time in connection with acquisitions, the Company has entered
into consent orders with the FTC which limit the Company's ability to make
acquisitions in specified areas and/or which require the Company to dispose of
certain operations. The trade regulation rule and the consent orders have not
had a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations.
 
     Cemeteries. The Company's cemeteries sell cemetery interment rights
(including mausoleum spaces and lawn crypts) and certain merchandise including
stone and bronze memorials and burial vaults. The Company's cemeteries also
perform interment services and provide management and maintenance of cemetery
grounds. Certain cemeteries also include crematory operations.
 
     Cemetery sales are often made on a pre-need basis pursuant to installment
contracts providing for monthly payments. A portion of the proceeds from
cemetery sales is generally required by law to be paid into perpetual care trust
funds. Earnings of perpetual care trust funds are used to defray the maintenance
cost of cemeteries. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
pre-need cemetery merchandise and services may be required to be paid into trust
funds. For additional information regarding cemetery trust funds, see Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
 
     The cemetery industry is characterized by a large number of independent
operations, the vast majority of which are locally owned and operated. Each of
the Company's cemeteries competes with other firms in the same general area. In
order to compete successfully, each of the Company's cemeteries must maintain
competitive prices, attractive and well kept properties, a good reputation and
an effective sales force.
 
FINANCIAL SERVICES OPERATION
 
     In 1988, the Company formed Provident Services, Inc. ("Provident") to
provide capital financing to independent funeral home and cemetery operators.
The majority of Provident's loans are made to clients seeking to finance funeral
home or cemetery acquisitions. Additionally, Provident provides construction
loans for funeral home or cemetery improvement and expansion. Loan packages take
traditional forms of secured financing comparable to arrangements offered by
leading commercial banks. Provident's loans are generally made at interest rates
which fluctuate with the prime lending rate.
 
     Provident had $250,000,000 in loans outstanding at December 31, 1993 and
unfunded loan commitments amounting to $19,499,000. Such loans outstanding
increased from $187,000,000 in loans outstanding at December 31, 1992. Provident
obtains its funds primarily from the Company's bank borrowings.
 
     Provident is in competition with banks and other lending institutions, many
of which have substantially greater resources than Provident. However, Provident
believes that its knowledge of the death care industry provides it with the
ability to make more accurate assessments of funeral home and cemetery industry
loans, thereby providing Provident a competitive advantage in the industry.

EMPLOYEES
 
     At December 31, 1993, the Company employed 8,985 persons on a full time
basis and 3,731 persons on a part time basis. Of the full time employees 427
were in corporate services, 8,550 were in the Funeral Services Operation, and
eight were in Financial Services. All of the Company's eligible employees who so
elect are covered by the Company's group health and life insurance plans, and
all eligible employees are participants in retirement plans of the Company or
various subsidiaries.
 
     At December 31, 1993, 747 employees were covered by collective bargaining
agreements. Although disputes are experienced from time to time, in general,
relations with employees are considered satisfactory.
 
REGULATION
 
     The Company's various operations are subject to regulations, supervision
and licensing under various federal, state, local and Canadian and Australian
statutes, ordinances and regulations. The Company believes that it is in
substantial compliance with the significant provisions of such statutes,
ordinances and regulations. See discussion of FTC funeral industry trade
regulation and consent orders in "Funeral Homes" above.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
 
     The Company's executive headquarters and the offices of management
personnel of the Funeral and Financial Service Operations are located at 1929
Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019, in a 12-story office building. A
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owns an undivided one-half interest in
the underlying fee to the building and its parking garage. The property consists
of approximately 1.3 acres, 250,000 square feet of office space in the building
and 160,000 square feet of parking space in the garage. The Company leases all
of the office space in the building pursuant to a lease that expires June 30,
1995 providing for monthly rent of $87,000. The rent is subject to escalation
for all operating expenses above base year operating expenses. One half of the
rent is paid to the wholly-owned subsidiary and the other half is paid to the
owner of the remaining undivided one-half interest. The Company owns and
utilizes a three-story building at 1919 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019
containing 43,000 square feet of office space. The Company owns the facilities
of certain closed casket manufacturing operations.
 
     At December 31, 1993, the Company owned the real estate and buildings of
803 of its funeral home and cemetery locations and leased facilities in
connection with 181 of such operations. In addition, the Company leased two
aircraft pursuant to a cancellable lease. At December 31, 1993, the Company
operated 3,831 vehicles, of which 1,805 were owned and 2,026 were leased. For
additional information regarding leases, see Note 9 to the consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
 
     The Company's 192 cemeteries contain an aggregate of approximately 14,600
acres of which approximately 58% are developed.
 
     The specialized nature of the Company's businesses requires that its
facilities be well maintained and kept in good condition. Management believes
that these standards are met.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
     The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is
conducting an informal private investigation relating to the change in the
Company's principal independent accountants and the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993, as amended, filed with the Commission reporting
such change, as well as the Company's current accounting and reporting of
pre-need sales. The Commission staff has advised the Company that the
investigation should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its
staff that any violations of law have occurred, or as a reflection upon any
person, entity or security. The investigation is continuing. Also see Item 9.

 * The year ended December 31, 1993 reflects the change in accounting principles
   adopted January 1, 1993. The four years ended December 31, 1992 reflect
   results as historically reported.
 
** For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings
   consist of income before income taxes from continuing operations, less
   undistributed income of equity investees which are less than 50% owned, plus
   the minority interest of majority-owned subsidiaries with fixed charges, and
   plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest and preferred dividends).
   Fixed charges consist of interest expense, whether capitalized or expensed,
   amortization of debt costs, one-third of rental expense which the Company
   considers representative of the interest factor in the rentals and preferred
   dividends.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.
 
ORGANIZATION
 
     The majority of the Company's funeral homes and cemeteries are managed in
groups called clusters. Clusters are primarily designated in metropolitan areas
to take advantage of operational efficiencies, including the sharing of
operating expenses such as service personnel, vehicles, preparation services,
clerical staff and certain building facility costs. The Company has
approximately 165 clusters which range in size from two to 46 operations. There
may be more than one cluster in a given metropolitan area, depending upon the
level and degree of shared costs.
 
     The cluster management approach recognizes that, as the Company adds
operations to a geographic area that contains an existing Company presence,
additional economies of scale through cost sharing will be achieved and the
Company will also be in a better position to serve the population that resides
within the area served by the cluster. Funeral service and cemetery operations
primarily depend upon a long-term development of customer relationships and
loyalty. Over time, these client families may relocate within a cluster area
which may justify the relocation or addition of Company locations. The Company
has attempted to satisfy this need for convenient locations by either acquiring
existing independent locations within the Company's cluster areas or
constructing satellite funeral homes (sometimes on Company-owned cemeteries)
while still maintaining the sharing of certain expenses within that cluster of
operations.
 
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
prearranged funeral service contracts and cemetery sales. For a more detailed
discussion of these changes, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements
in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The cumulative effect of these changes resulted in
an after tax charge of $2,031,000 or $.03 per share on January 1, 1993.
Generally these changes will result in reduced funeral revenues and funeral
operating income, at least in the near future, due to the deferral of previously
recognized prearranged funeral service trust fund income until performance of
the specific funeral. Additionally, these changes will generally result in
higher cemetery revenues and cemetery operating income because all cemetery
sales and costs are recorded in current income. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings in
this Form 10-K for information regarding an informal investigation by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     For purposes of managements's discussion and analysis of results of
operations and financial condition, all comparisons to 1992 and 1991 reflect the
pro forma effects of applying the new accounting principles as if the changes
had occurred on December 31, 1990. The following table presents the pro forma

     The $51,679,000 increase in revenues at existing clusters was the result of
10,193 or 6.9% more funeral services performed and a $111 or 3.3% higher average
sales price. Included in this increase were $29,281,000 in revenues from
locations acquired during the two year period. Overall, funeral services
performed are

expected to grow slowly for the near future and it is expected that the
Company's revenue growth will primarily be generated from acquired operations
(added to existing clusters and the creation of new clusters) as well as higher
average sales prices.
 
     During 1993, the Company sold $159,000,000 of prearranged funeral services
compared to $119,000,000 for 1992. These prearranged funeral services are
deferred and will be reflected in funeral revenues in the periods that the
funeral services are performed. An increased emphasis on sales of prearranged
funerals is expected to continue.
 
     Total funeral costs increased $46,785,000 or 12.3% in 1993. Funeral costs
were as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     Existing cluster funeral costs, expressed as a percentage of revenues, were
65.1%, which was slightly lower than the 65.4% recorded in 1992. This operating
margin improvement was achieved despite the large number of acquisitions which
occurred during the two year period. Typically, acquisitions will temporarily
exhibit slightly lower operating margins than the Company's existing locations.
These acquisitions accounted for $19,548,000 of the existing cluster cost
increase. The improved operating margin reflects, increased revenues, reduced
personnel costs (the largest funeral expense item) and facility costs at other
funeral homes included in existing clusters. As a percentage of revenues,
administrative overhead costs related to funeral operations remained at 4.7% in
both years.
 
     Total cemetery revenues increased $63,321,000 or 29.2% over 1992. Cemetery
revenues were as follows:

     Revenues for the existing clusters increased due to increased at-need and
pre-need sales volume, higher average at-need and pre-need contract prices and
additional earnings from cemetery perpetual care and merchandise and service
trust funds. Included in the existing cluster increase, was $40,059,000 in
increased revenues from cemeteries acquired during the two year period.

     The entire increase in existing cluster costs resulted from increased costs
at cemeteries acquired during the two year period. There was no increase in
costs at other cemeteries included in existing clusters despite the sales
increase discussed above. Cost containment in the areas of selling and
maintenance expenses contributed to the lack of increase. Cemetery costs,
expressed as a percentage of revenues, at existing clusters decreased to 65.9%
this year from 69.6% in 1992. The Company believes that the operating margins
realized in 1993 are achievable in the future through continued aggressive sales
as well as cost containment programs. Administrative overhead costs have
increased slightly, when expressed as a percentage of revenues, to 5.9%
currently from 5.4% in 1992.
 
     Financial service revenues and costs have increased in 1993 as a result of
increased loans outstanding and improved interest rate spreads. The average
outstanding loan portfolio during 1993 was $215,726,000 with an average interest
rate spread of 3.3% compared to $143,773,000 and 2.6%, respectively, in 1992.
Financial services are provided through Provident which is a major source of
funding to independent funeral home and cemetery operators. Unlike a commercial
bank, Provident does not have access to low-cost deposit funds so its net
interest margin is lower because it borrows money at market rates. Additionally,
Provident does not incur as much administrative costs as does a commercial bank.
Through Provident's relationships with these borrowers, the Company derives the
benefit of developing a continuing relationship with these entities. The credit
risk for this type of lending is considered minimal to the Company.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased by $5,013,000 or 13.0%. The
increase is primarily attributable to compensation expense in connection with
performance-based vesting of restricted stock grants to Company management.
Vesting is based on a formula primarily tied to earnings per share growth.
 
     Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $5,729,000 or 10.6% during 1993. In February 1993,
the Company issued $150,000,000 of 7.875% debentures due in 2013. The proceeds
were primarily used to repay existing credit agreement borrowings. Also in
February 1993, the Company called the $100,000,000 6.5% convertible debentures
originally issued in 1986. Holders of the debentures converted $97,164,000 into
Company common stock at $17.33 per share (5,607,000 shares) with the remaining
$2,836,000 redeemed in cash. Additionally, interest expense was reduced by
decreased average interest rates on amounts borrowed under the Company's credit
agreements during 1993 compared to 1992.
 
     Other income includes the recognition of gains from the sale of excess real
estate and existing businesses during both periods.
 
     The provision for income taxes has increased to 40.6% from 37.9% during
1992 primarily due to the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1993 in August 1993 which increased corporate tax rates retroactively to January
1, 1993. As a result of the new law, the Company's 1993 tax expense increased

     The $65,810,000 increase in revenues at existing clusters, which included
an increase of $59,598,000 from acquired operations, was the result of 13,857 or
11.4% more funeral services performed and a $157 or 4.9% higher average sales
price.

     All of the increase in costs at existing clusters was the result of funeral
homes acquired during the two year period. For other funeral homes included in
existing clusters, personnel costs increased primarily as the result of higher
benefit costs. This was offset by decreased merchandise costs, reflecting more
effective purchasing arrangements with vendors and an additional year-end
discount from the revision of a merchandise purchasing contract with one vendor.
Discounts should continue through 1998 based on the provisions of the revised
contract as well as with agreements with other vendors. Facility costs also
declined when compared to 1991.

     Costs at existing clusters, which include an increase of $9,667,000 from
acquired operations, increased a total of $10,915,000 or 9.4%. Merchandise and
repair and maintenance expenses increased at other cemeteries included in
existing clusters. Cemetery overhead costs declined in 1992 due to the closing
of the San Diego administrative office in late 1991. These costs were either
eliminated or transferred to general and administrative expense at the Houston
corporate offices.
 
     Financial service revenues and costs have decreased during 1992 as a result
of a decrease in the average outstanding loan portfolio and borrowed amounts for
Provident in 1992. Operating income remained level for both years. For the year
1992, Provident's outstanding loan portfolio averaged $143,773,000 with an
average interest rate spread of 2.6% compared to $148,652,000 and 2.4%,
respectively, in 1991.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased in 1992 by $3,245,000 or
9.2%. Personnel costs, including the cost of restricted stock grants and other
employee benefit accruals, increased $2,141,000. The remainder of the increase
resulted primarily from higher facility and administrative costs. A portion of
the additional costs resulted from the relocation of cemetery administrative
offices from San Diego to Houston.
 
     Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $11,473,000 or 27.0% during 1992. In October 1991,
the Company issued $172,500,000 of 6.5% convertible debentures due in 2001. Also
contributing to the increase was the interest on debt assumed and not refinanced
from various 1991 acquisitions. Lower interest rates in 1992 helped to offset
increases in interest expense from increased average amounts borrowed under the
Company's credit agreements.

     Other income increased during 1992 due primarily to the recognition of two
gains in 1992. One resulted from the collection of a note receivable that had
previously been written off, and the other from the sale of an equity
investment. Partially offsetting the increase was less income on corporate
investments. Both years include pretax gains associated with the disposition of
certain excess funeral and cemetery real property.
 
     During the third quarter of 1991, certain Internal Revenue Service audits
of the Company were settled and resulted in the recognition of $4,800,000 or
$.07 per share of income tax benefits.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
     Cash flows continue to be impacted by the Company's aggressive acquisition
of funeral homes and cemeteries. In addition, capital expenditures, including
major improvements to existing properties, continue to require a significant
amount of cash. Funds generated from the stable earnings of existing funeral and
cemetery operations, together with unused lines of credit or other available
borrowings, are expected to be sufficient for the Company to continue its
current acquisition and operating policies. At December 31, 1993, the Company
had available approximately $250,000,000 of borrowing ability under its various
credit lines. The change in accounting principles previously mentioned did not
affect the Company's recognition of cash collections and disbursements.
 
     In November 1993, the Company's $250,000,000 revolving credit agreement was
extended for an additional three years. Also in November 1993, the Company
entered into a new $350,000,000 revolving credit/term loan agreement that
matures in November 1994 and contains provisions for renewals. At the end of any
term, the outstanding balance may be converted into a two-year term loan.
Interest rates for each of these agreements are based on a Euro-dollar rate,
alternative base loan rate or a rate which is competitively bid by participating
banks. Each of these credit facilities is to be used for acquisitions, general
corporate purposes and to support the Company's selling of commercial paper.
 
     In addition to the sources of cash, the Company has 13,228,000 shares of
common stock, $93,415,000 of guarantees of promissory notes and $87,103,000 of
convertible debentures registered with the Commission to be used exclusively for
future acquisitions.
 
     The Company's debt to capitalization ratio decreased to 54.6% at December
31, 1993 from 59.0% at December 31, 1992, primarily reflecting the net reduction
in debt from the February 1993 conversion of $97,164,000 of debentures into
equity and increased net income from operations.
 
PREARRANGED FUNERAL SERVICES
 
     The Company has a marketing program to sell prearranged funeral contracts
and the funds collected are generally held in trust or are used to purchase a
life insurance or annuity contract. The principal amount of these prearranged
funeral contracts will be received in cash by a Company funeral home at the time
the funeral is performed. Earnings on trust funds and increasing benefits under
insurance funded contracts also increase the amount of cash to be received and
allow the Company to adequately cover the inflationary increase in costs.
Marketing costs incurred with the sale of prearranged funeral contracts are a
current use of cash which is partially offset with cash retained, pursuant to
state laws, from amounts trusted and certain commissions earned by the Company
for sales of insurance products. The Company believes prearrangements add
stability to the funeral service industry and will stimulate future revenue
growth. Prearranged funeral services fulfilled as a percent of the total
funerals performed (19% for 1993) is expected to grow, thereby making the total
number of funerals performed more predictable.
 
     Of the total prearranged funeral contracts at December 31, 1993, 45% were
trust funded and 55% were insurance funded. The Company's cancellation rate for
all prearranged funeral contracts approximates 10% for which a reserve has been
established.
 
     The Company believes that several factors will continue to cause an
increase in the sale of these contracts such as a desire on the part of an aging
North American population to preplan their funerals and various industry
advertising campaigns. The Company intends to actively sell these prearranged
funeral contracts into the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>   14
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
 
     The Company has operated in Canada for many years and in 1993 purchased a
funeral service operation in Australia with 60 funeral homes and eight
cemeteries. Since foreign revenues are less than 10% of consolidated revenues
and identifiable foreign assets are less than 10% of total assets, segment
information has not been presented in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. Though historically the currencies of these two countries have been
stable, the Company has nevertheless entered into a currency swap agreement for
the Australian acquisition as more fully discussed in Note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K to minimize any
possible currency risk exposure.
 
PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
     In 1994, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 112 "Employer's
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" becomes effective. This FAS requires the
Company to accrue for estimated future postemployment benefits during the years
employees are working and earning these benefits. Also in 1994, FAS 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" becomes
effective. This FAS addresses the accounting for investments in equity and debt
securities held by the Company. In 1995, FAS 114 "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan" becomes effective. This FAS requires present value
computations for impaired loans when determining allowances for loan losses.
Adoption of these three standards is not expected to materially affect the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on
our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Service
Corporation International as of December 31, 1993, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be included therein.
 
     As discussed in Notes Two and Six to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
prearranged funeral contracts and cemetery sales and income taxes.

                       SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE ONE
 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Service Corporation International and all wholly-owned
subsidiaries (the Company). Significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years
have been made to conform to current period classifications.
 
     Cash equivalents: The Company considers all liquid investments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and the carrying
amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity.
 
     Inventories: Inventories, consisting of funeral merchandise and cemetery
space and merchandise, are stated at cost, which is not in excess of market,
determined using average cost.
 
     Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization of property,
plant and equipment is provided using the straight line method over the
estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense whereas renewals and major replacements are capitalized.
 
     Cemetery trust funds: Generally, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
cemetery lots is required by state law to be paid into perpetual care trust
funds. Earnings from these trusts are recognized in current cemetery revenues
and are intended to defray cemetery maintenance costs. The amount of perpetual
care funds trusted at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was $197,969,000 and
$183,206,000, respectively, and such principal generally cannot be withdrawn by
the Company (see Note 2). Additionally, pursuant to state law, a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of preneed cemetery merchandise and services may also be
required to be paid into trust funds. Merchandise and service trusts, which were
previously included in investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are now
classified as long-term receivables. The Company recognizes income on these
merchandise and service trusts in current cemetery revenues as trust earnings
accrue to defray inflation costs recognized related to the unpurchased cemetery
merchandise. For the three years ended December 31, 1993, the earnings on trusts
recognized for all cemetery trusts was $23,721,000, $18,910,000 and $17,843,000,
respectively.
 
     Deferred obtaining costs: Included in "Deferred prearranged funeral
contract revenues" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are obtaining costs,
including sales commissions and certain other direct marketing costs, applicable
to prearranged funeral contracts which are deferred and will be expensed when
the service is performed. The aggregate costs deferred as of December 31, 1993
and 1992 were $32,518,000 and $23,934,000, respectively.
 
     Names and reputations: The excess of purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable net tangible assets acquired in transactions accounted for as a
purchase are included in "Names and reputations" and generally amortized on a
straight line basis over 40 years which, in the opinion of management, is not
necessarily the maximum period benefited. Many of the Company's acquired funeral
homes have been providing high quality service to client families for many
decades and such loyalty often forms the basic valuation of a funeral business.
The amortization charged against income was $10,339,000, $9,601,000 and
$4,785,000 for the three years ended December 31, 1993, respectively. Fair
values are determined by management or independent appraisals.
 
NOTE TWO
 
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
     The Company changed the following accounting principles effective January
1, 1993.
 
                                       21

                       SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
          (A) All price guaranteed prearranged funeral sales contracts are
     included in the accompanying balance sheet as a long-term asset with a
     corresponding credit to deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues.
     Insurance funded contracts were previously disclosed in a note to the
     financial statements and certain trust funded contracts were previously
     included under investments and prearranged funeral obligations. This change
     has no effect on the existing policy of recognizing revenue when the
     funeral service is performed.
 
          (B) Prearranged funeral trust earnings previously recognized as
     current income are now deferred until the funeral service is performed.
     Increasing benefits under insurance funded contracts are now accrued and
     deferred until the funeral service is performed.
 
          (C) Preneed sales of cemetery interment rights and other related
     products and services are recorded as revenues when customer contracts are
     signed with concurrent recognition of related costs. Allowances for
     customer cancellations and refunds are provided at the date of sale based
     upon historical experience. Previously, such sales were generally deferred
     under accounting principles prescribed for sales of real estate. Under the
     Company's application of this method of accounting for sales of real
     estate, revenues and costs were deferred until 20% of the contract amount
     had been collected.
 
          (D) Funds held in perpetual care cemetery trusts were previously
     included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in investments and cemetery
     perpetual care obligations, whereas now such amounts are excluded.
 
     The accounting changes were made principally for the following reasons and
are described below in the order referred to above.
 
          (A) The Company believes this accounting is more informative and
     provides better disclosure of the future economic events because the
     activity is all reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
          (B) Funeral trust earnings and increasing benefits under insurance
     contracts are intended to cover increases in the future costs of providing
     price guaranteed funeral services. Accrued trust earnings were previously
     recognized in current income and a provision was made for the estimated
     effect of inflation on the costs of merchandise purchased by the Company.
     Trust earnings are now deferred until performance of the funeral service
     and increasing benefits under insurance funded contracts will be accounted
     for similarly. The Company believes this policy will better match revenues
     and costs because the total funds (principal and accrued earnings)
     available to satisfy the contract will be included in revenues when the
     funeral service is performed together with all costs related to performance
     of the service.
 
          (C) This method of cemetery accounting has been adopted because all
     significant remaining obligations of the Company have been satisfied in the
     period the contract is signed. Related costs are provided based on actual
     costs incurred, firm commitments or reliable estimates. Historical
     experience is the basis for making appropriate allowances for customer
     cancellations and will be adjusted when required.
 
          (D) Cemetery perpetual care trusts are excluded from the Consolidated
     Balance Sheet because the Company generally does not have the right to
     withdraw the principal.
 
     The cumulative effect, through December 31, 1992, of changing these
accounting principles resulted in a charge to first quarter 1993 net income of
$2,031,000 (net of a $1,354,000 tax benefit), or $.03 per share. For the year
ended December 31, 1993, the effect of the change in accounting principles
resulted in a decrease in

NOTE FOUR
 
PREARRANGED FUNERAL CONTRACTS
 
     The Company sells prearranged funeral contracts through various programs
providing for future funeral services at prices prevailing when the agreement is
signed. Payments under these contracts are generally placed in trust (pursuant
to state law) or are used to pay premiums on life insurance policies. Life
insurance policies are issued by third party insurers.
 
     At December 31, 1993, trust and insurance funds of $1,244,866,000 (net of
cancellation reserve) included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Prearranged
funeral contracts" are available to the Company for previously sold guaranteed
price contracts. Of this amount, $554,879,000 will be funded by trusts and
$689,987,000 will be funded by insurance policies. Accumulated earnings from
trust funds and increasing insurance benefits have been included to the extent
that they have accrued through December 31, 1993. The cumulative total has been
reduced by allowable cash withdrawals for trust earning distributions and
amounts retained by the Company pursuant to various state laws. In addition, a
reserve, based on historical experience, equivalent to approximately 10% of the
total balance has been provided for contract cancellations.
 
NOTE FIVE
 
INVESTMENTS
 
     At December 31, 1992, investments include $363,971,000 and $297,817,000 of
prearranged funeral and cemetery perpetual care and merchandise and service
obligations, respectively, held in trust. These investments are carried at the
lower of cost or market and include unrealized gains of $31,496,000 and
unrealized losses of $18,327,000 (see Notes 1 and 2).
 
NOTE SIX
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company adopted FAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective January
1, 1993. The adoption had no material impact on the Company's results of
operations or financial position. FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach
requiring recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. Under FAS 109, all expected future events other than
changes in the law or tax rates, are considered in estimating future tax

consequences. The Company previously had followed FAS 96, which was superseded
by FAS 109, and gave no recognition to future events other than recovery of
assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.
 
     In August 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the Act) was
enacted and among other changes, the Act increased the top United States
corporate income tax rate to 35% from 34% effective January 1, 1993. The
provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1993 includes an
adjustment to deferred taxes under FAS 109 of $2,431,000 related to this
increase in the corporate tax rate.
 
     The provision for income taxes includes United States income taxes,
determined on a consolidated return basis, foreign and state and local income
taxes.

for $15,000,000 (both of these lines were available at December 31, 1993) at
rates similar to the revolving credit agreement. The $75,000,000 line may be
withdrawn at any time at the option of the bank. The $15,000,000 line requires

     "Deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues" on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet includes the contract amount of all price guaranteed prearranged
funeral service contracts as well as the accrued trust earnings and increasing

     The Company has a stockholder approved plan whereby shares of the Company's
common stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted to
officers and key employees. The plan allows for options to be granted as either
non-qualified or incentive stock options. The options are granted with an
exercise price equal to the then current market price of the Company's common
stock and are generally exercisable at a rate of 33 1/3% each year (generally
starting one year from grant date). At December 31, 1993 and 1992, 729,267 and
971,515 shares, respectively, were reserved for future option grants under this
existing plan.
 
     On November 10, 1993, the Board of Directors approved the 1993 Long-Term
Incentive Stock Option Plan (maximum of 4,650,000 shares) and granted options
for 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $25.75 per share
(fair market value at date of grant). This plan is subject to stockholder
approval at the annual meeting of stockholders on May 12, 1994. Such shares are

     At December 31, 1993, the Company has reserved 1,480,731 shares of its
common stock under stockholder approved plans for restricted stock grants to be
awarded to key employees and non-employee directors. These plans contain a
restriction period of not less than six months and not more than five years,
during which time the recipient will be prohibited from disposition of the
awarded common stock and also a requirement that the employee recipient remain
employed by the Company and the non-employee director continue to serve as a
director prior to lapse of the restricted period. For the three years ended
December 31, 1993, 652,481, 405,925 and 16,500 shares were awarded under these
plans, respectively.
 
     In July 1988, the Board of Directors adopted a preferred share purchase
rights plan and also declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
for each share of common stock. The rights become exercisable in the event of
certain attempts to acquire 20% or more of the common stock of the Company and
entitle the rights holders to purchase certain securities of the Company or the
acquiring company. The rights, which are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per
right, expire in July, 1998 unless extended. Holders of the medium term notes
and 6.5% subordinated debentures may accelerate repayment or redemption in
certain circumstances involving a change in control.
 
NOTE ELEVEN
 
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
 
     The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees, a supplemental retirement plan for certain
executives (SERP), a supplemental retirement plan for officers and certain
executives (Senior SERP), and a retirement plan for non-employee directors
(Directors' Plan).
 
     For the pension plan, retirement benefits are generally based on years of
service and compensation for the current year. The Company annually contributes
to the pension plan an actuarially determined amount consistent with the funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Assets of
the pension plan consist primarily of bank money market funds, fixed income
investments, marketable equity securities and mortgage notes. The marketable
equity securities include shares of Company common stock with a value of
$3,534,000 at December 31, 1993.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Retirement benefits under the SERP are based on years of service and
average monthly compensation, reduced by benefits under the pension plan and
Social Security. The Senior SERP provides retirement benefits for officers and
certain executives based on their years of service and position. The Directors'
Plan will provide an annual benefit to directors following their retirement,
based on a vesting schedule. The Company purchased various life insurance
policies on the participants in the SERP, Senior SERP and Directors' Plan with
the intent to use the proceeds and any cash value buildup from such policies to
fund, at least to the extent of such assets, these plans' funding requirements.
 
     The net cost for all plans was as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
 
  Swap agreements:
 
     The Company periodically enters into swap agreements to hedge exposure to
fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. Such agreements are with
major financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any credit risk
from these transactions because of nonperformance. The amounts to be paid or
received are accrued in accordance with terms of the agreement and market
interest rates.
 
     On August 31, 1993, the Company entered a currency swap agreement with a
bank that hedged the borrowings for the Company's initial investment in its
Australian subsidiary. As part of this agreement, the Company pays the bank a
blended interest rate (6.28% at December 31, 1993) on $110,000,000 Australian
dollars and receives a floating interest rate (3.5% at December 31, 1993) on
$73,590,000 United States dollars. This agreement expires December 29, 2000.
 
     The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank
having a notional amount of $150,000,000 effective February 1, 1994. Under this
agreement, the Company will pay a floating interest rate on $150,000,000 and
will receive a 5.36% fixed interest rate on $150,000,000. This agreement
terminates February 1, 1999 subject to an option, exercisable by the bank, to
terminate on August 1, 1994.
 
  Credit risk:
 
     Provident is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
The financial instruments result from loans made in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of borrowers who are principally
independent funeral home and cemetery operators. These financial instruments
also include loan commitments of $19,499,000 at December 31, 1993 ($33,656,000
at December 31, 1992) to extend credit. Provident evaluates each borrower's
credit worthiness and the amount loaned and collateral obtained, if any, is
determined by this evaluation.
 
     The Company grants customers credit in the normal course of business and
the credit risk with respect to these trade receivables are generally considered
minimal because of the wide geographic area served. Procedures are in effect to
monitor the credit worthiness of customers and bad debts have not been
significant in relation to the volume of revenues.
 
     Prearranged funeral contracts generally do not subject the Company to
collection risk because customer payments are either placed in state supervised
trusts or used to pay premiums on life insurance contracts. Insurance funded
contracts are subject to supervision by state insurance departments and are
protected in the majority of states by insurance guaranty acts.
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
     The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments was made in accordance with the requirements of FAS 107. The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

     The fair value of the above long-term borrowings was estimated by
discounting the future cash flows, including interest payments, using rates
currently available for debt of similar terms and maturity, based on the
Company's credit standing and other market factors. The carrying value of the
revolving credit agreements approximate fair value because the rates on such
agreements are variable, based on current market. Substantially all of the
Company's remaining long-term debt and receivables carry variable interest rates
and their carrying amount approximates fair value. It is not practicable to

NOTE FIFTEEN
 
PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
     In 1994, FAS 112 "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"
becomes effective. This FAS requires the Company to accrue for estimated future
postemployment benefits during the years employees are working and earning these
benefits. Also in 1994, FAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" becomes effective. This FAS addresses the accounting for
investments in equity and debt securities held by the Company. In 1995, FAS 114
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" becomes effective. This FAS
requires present value computations for impaired loans when determining
allowances for loan losses. Adoption of these three standards is not expected to
materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 (1) On August 10, 1993, the Company loaned: R. L. Waltrip, Chairman of the
     Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, $1,700,000; L. W.
     Heiligbrodt, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company,
     $1,000,000; W. B. Waltrip, Executive Vice President/Operations of the
     Company, $600,000; S. W. Rizzo, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
     Officer/Treasurer of the Company, $525,000; and J. W. Morrow, Jr.,
     Executive Vice President/Corporate Development, $525,000. Such loans were
     made to enable such officers to pay the estimated federal income taxes
     resulting from their receipt of Company stock on August 10, 1993 pursuant
     to a grant of restricted stock under the Company's Amended 1987 Stock Plan.
     Each of the loans is due August 10, 2003, bears interest at 6.5% per annum
     and is supported by the restricted stock. In the event that the fair market
     value of all restricted stock held by an officer is less than his
     outstanding loan balance as of any loan anniversary date, the officer will
     be obligated to provide acceptable collateral for the difference between
     such loan balance and such fair market value.
 
 (2) Provident had provided a line of credit of $2,500,000 to R. L. Waltrip for
     personal use. The line of credit matured, and the outstanding balance was
     repaid by Waltrip in 1992.

 (4) Provident has provided secured loans to G. K. Guinn, former Senior Vice

     note in payment of the purchase price of $1,000,000 with interest at 10%
     payable quarterly. During 1991, Mercer repaid the balance of the note.
 
 (6) Provident offers employees and directors of the Company mortgage loans.
     These loans have been issued at fixed rates ranging from 6.5% to 9.6%,
     which are comparable to current market rates. These loans mature 15 to 30
     years from date of issuance and are collateralized by a deed of trust on
     the real estate and for one individual, Company stock and other publicly
     traded securities.
 
 (7) In addition to mortgage loans discussed in note 6 above, Provident has
     provided secured loans to finance the exercise of Company stock options to

     purchased, bear interest at the prime rate and mature in 1994.
 
 (8) Provident has provided financing to G. A. Pullins, Senior Vice President /
     Corporate Development of the Company, to finance the purchase of a home.
     The loan is collateralized by Company stock, bears interest at the prime

 (9) B. D. Hunter is a director of the Company and former Chairman of AMEDCO
     Inc. (AMEDCO) which was acquired by the Company on September 26, 1986. In
     connection with the Company's purchase of AMEDCO certain operations of
     AMEDCO were purchased by a company controlled by Hunter immediately before
     the acquisition of AMEDCO by the Company. Part of the consideration paid by
     the Hunter controlled company to AMEDCO were promissory notes of $8,000,000
     and $5,000,000. During 1990, Hunter repaid $4,300,000 of the $8,000,000
     promissory note. During 1991, Hunter repaid the remaining balances of the
     two notes.
 
(10) In its normal course of business, primarily through Provident, the Company
     has made loans to certain entities in which the Company has equity
     investments. These loans had a balance of $25,548,000 at December 31, 1993.
     All of these loans carry interest rates ranging from a defined savings rate
     plus 2% (5.22% at December 31, 1993) up to 12% and mature in 1994 through
     2000. These loans are collateralized by combinations of common stock of the
     debtor entities, deeds of trust on the debtors' real estate and certain
     other collateral.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
     Ernst & Young, Certified Public Accountants ("E&Y"), served as the
independent accountants for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1992. E&Y was dismissed as the independent accounting firm for the Company
effective March 25, 1993, with Coopers & Lybrand, Certified Public Accountants
("Coopers"), having been so engaged as of that date. The decision to change the
independent accounting firm for the Company was recommended by management and by
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and was approved by
the Board of Directors.
 
     The report of E&Y dated February 8, 1993 on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 1992 and 1991 and for the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1992 contained no adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle. Similarly, the report of Coopers dated
February 8, 1994 on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
December 31, 1993 and for the year then ended contained no adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle.
 
     From time to time during the several years preceding January 1, 1993,
meetings were held between members of senior management of the Company and local
and national office partners of E&Y regarding potential accounting policies for
reporting pre-need funeral and cemetery sales. As previously reported by the
Company in, among other places, its Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993, the Company
and E&Y did not reach agreement on any new method of accounting for such sales.
In the Company's opinion, such meetings did not result in a "disagreement"
between it and E&Y within the meaning of the rules promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Thus, as previously reported by the Company
in, among other places, such Form 8-K, while there was a failure to reach
agreement, in the Company's opinion, during the two years ended December 31,
1992, there was no reportable "disagreement" between the Company and E&Y
regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused E&Y to make reference to the
subject of the disagreement in connection with its report.
 
     As also previously reported by the Company in, among other places, an
amendment, dated April 6, 1993, to the Company's Form 8-K, dated March 31, 1993,
E&Y, however, has stated that it believes that a reportable "disagreement"
occurred between it and the Company. Accordingly, at the request of E&Y, the
Company included the following (references to E&Y and the Company have been
conformed to the usage in this Form 10-K) in its proxy statement dated April 12,
1993 for the last annual meeting of stockholders.
 
          "On several occasions over the years, the Company has proposed that
     its accounting policy for pre-need funeral services be changed to a method
     whereby revenue would be recognized at the date a pre-need funeral contract
     is signed, accompanied by appropriate provision for the estimated cost of
     providing such services. E&Y's consistent position has been that the
     Company's proposed accounting policy would not be acceptable under
     generally accepted accounting principles.
 
          "At a meeting on April 1, 1992 held to discuss this issue, a
     reportable disagreement occurred in that Company management stated that if
     E&Y would not support the Company's proposed accounting they would find
     another firm that would. This disagreement was communicated to the
     Company's Audit Committee at its August 13, 1992 meeting.
 
          "Moreover, on February 19, 1993 (after completion of the 1992 audit),
     Company management presented the accounting proposal set forth in a
     December 28, 1992 'Invitation to Comment' prepared by Patrick B. Collins,
     CPA, and asked E&Y to support this proposed accounting method. That
     'Invitation to Comment' advocates recognition of revenue for pre-need
     funeral services at the time of sale rather than when the services are
     performed, and solicits comments from interested parties concerning this
     and other matters. On February 26, 1993 and again on March 2, 1993, E&Y
     informed Company management that it would be unable to support the proposal
     presented in the 'Invitation to Comment.'
 
          "On March 16, 1993, management informed E&Y that the Company was no
     longer pursuing the accounting method advocated in the 'Invitation to
     Comment' but rather was considering a modified
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   47
 
     approach. E&Y informed management that at least one element of the modified
     approach -- amortization of a portion of deferred revenue that would be
     associated with the fixed cost of maintaining funeral homes -- was, in
     E&Y's view, not acceptable under generally accepted accounting principles."
 
The modified approach referred to above by E&Y is also referred to in the next
to last paragraph of this Item 9, except that at the time of its discussion with
Coopers the element E&Y noted as being objectionable was no longer being
considered.
 
     As indicated above, E&Y's position was also disclosed in an amendment dated
April 6, 1993 to a Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993 filed by the Company. Following
such disclosure, the Company filed a second amendment to such Form 8-K, in which
the Company set forth its belief that the references to "disagreements" by E&Y,
as well as other matters, were factually inaccurate. Further, the Company
disputes that a reportable "disagreement" was communicated by E&Y to the Audit
Committee on August 13, 1992. In response to the second amendment to such Form
8-K, E&Y responded (which response was included in a third amendment) that there
was nothing in the second amendment of which E&Y was unaware at the time it
stated its position disclosed in the April 6, 1993 amendment.
 
     The staff of the SEC is conducting an informal private investigation
relating to the change in the Company's independent accountants, and the
Company's Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993, as amended in April 1993, reporting
such change, as well as the Company's current accounting and reporting of
pre-need sales. The staff has advised the Company that the investigation should
not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any
violations of law have occurred, or as a reflection upon any person, entity or
security. The investigation is continuing.
 
     On March 25, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
recommendation of management and the Audit Committee that Coopers be engaged as
the Company's new independent accountants. During the two fiscal years ended
December 31, 1992 and the interim period of 1993, Coopers was not consulted by
the Company on the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company. During the interim
period of 1993, as part of the proposal process, Coopers indicated its general
agreement with the Company's desire to modify its accounting policies for
pre-need funeral and cemetery sales so that such policies more accurately
reflect the economics of these sales. In this connection, the Company expressed
to Coopers its desire to improve the financial reporting for pre-need funeral
sales by including in the balance sheet, as a long term asset and corresponding
deferred revenue, all pre-need funeral contracts whether funded by insurance or
trust funds. Revenue from funeral services would be recognized when the services
are performed, which is consistent with the Company's then and current policy.
The Company also discussed with Coopers deferring funeral trust earnings until
the service is performed. Under the Company's prior policy, these trust earnings
were recognized in current income. Additionally, the Company expressed its views
that accounting for pre-need cemetery sales using the accounting principles
prescribed for sales of real estate may not be the most appropriate method of
accounting. Coopers orally expressed their general agreement with these concepts
but were not asked to and did not express an opinion on any specific transaction
or accounting change, either orally or in writing.
 
     The accounting principles adopted by the Company in 1993 for reporting
pre-need funeral and cemetery sales are set forth, among other places, in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1993
filed with the SEC. Coopers has issued a preferability letter with respect to
such principles. A copy of such letter is filed as an Exhibit to the Company's
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1993. As indicated above, Coopers has
issued an unqualified opinion with respect to the Company's consolidated
financial statements as at and for the period ended December 31, 1993.

               SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL (CANADA) LIMITED

                               STOCK OPTION PLAN


                                       I

                              Purpose of the Plan

         The Service Corporation International (Canada) Limited Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide a means whereby certain employees,
senior officers and directors of Service Corporation International (Canada)
Limited (the "Corporation") and its subsidiaries and senior officers of the
Corporation's affiliates may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal
involvement in the development and financial success of the Corporation, and to
encourage them to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of
the Corporation, thereby advancing the interests of the Corporation and its
stockholders. Accordingly, the Corporation may grant to eligible optionees the
option ("Option") to purchase shares of the common stock of the Corporation
("Stock") as hereinafter set forth.


                                       II

                                 Administration

         The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee") in compliance with all regulatory
requirements. The Committee shall have authority to make recommendations to the
Board of Directors regarding the following matters:

(a)      the selection of optionees who are to be granted Options from among
         those eligible hereunder;

(b)      the number of shares which may be issued under each Option;

(c)      the duration of any options;

(d)      the interpretation to be given to the Plan; and

(e)      the enactment of such rules and regulations, consistent with the
         provisions of the Plan, as are advisable to carry out the Plan.


                                      III

                               Option Agreements

         Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement and shall
contain such terms and conditions, and may be exercisable for such periods (up
to ten years from the date of grant), as may be approved by the Board of
Directors upon recommendation of the Committee. The terms and conditions of the
respective Option Agreements need not be identical. Specifically, an Option
Agreement may provide the right ("Right") to surrender the Option to purchase
any Stock subject to the Option in return for a payment in cash and/or shares
of Stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Stock with respect
to which the Option is surrendered over the option price therefor, on such
terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe upon
recommendation of the Committee. In addition, an Option Agreement may provide
for the payment of the option price by the delivery of a number of shares of
Stock plus cash, if any, having a fair market value
<PAGE>   2
                                      -2-

equal to such option price. Each Option and all Rights granted thereunder shall
not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and shall be exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee.


                                       IV

                            Eligibility of Optionees

         Options may be granted to individuals who are employees, senior
officers and directors (including those senior officers and directors who are
not employees) of the Corporation or any holding body corporate or subsidiary
body corporate or senior officers of an affiliated body corporate (as defined
in subsections 2(2), 2(4) and 2(5) respectively of the Canada Business
Corporations Act, as amended from time to time) of the Corporation at the time
the Option is granted. Options may be granted to the same optionee on more than
one occasion.


                                       V

                           Shares Subject to the Plan

         The aggregate number of common shares which may be issued under
Options or pursuant to Rights granted under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of
the outstanding common shares from time to time (on a non-diluted basis) and
the aggregate number of shares so reserved for issuance to any one person must
not exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares (on a non-diluted basis). Such
shares may consist of authorized but unissued shares of Stock or previously
issued shares reacquired by the Corporation. Any of such shares which remain
unissued and which are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination
of the Plan shall cease to be subject to the Plan, but until termination of the
Plan, the Corporation shall at all times make available a sufficient number of
shares to meet the requirements of the Plan. Should any Option hereunder expire
prior to its exercise in full, or should an Option to purchase shares be
surrendered in return for the payment of a lesser number of shares, the
remaining number of shares theretofore subject to such Option may again be
subject to an Option granted under the Plan. The aggregate number of shares
which may be issued under the Plan may be adjusted to reflect a change in the
capitalization of the Corporation, such as a stock dividend or stock split.


                                       VI

                                  Option Price

         The purchase price of Stock issued under each Option shall be
determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than the fair market value
(as determined by the Committee), if the shares of the Corporation are not
listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange and if they are so listed then the
purchase price shall be not less than the market price of the Stock on The
Toronto Stock Exchange minus any appropriate discount as permitted pursuant to
the rules of The Toronto Stock Exchange, at the time of grant.

                                      VII

                                Term of the Plan

         The Plan shall be effective upon the date of its adoption by the
Board of Directors, provided that the Plan is approved by the stockholders of
the Corporation within 12 months thereafter and provided further that no shares
shall be issued under the Plan prior to its approval by the stockholders of the
Corporation. Except with respect to Options then outstanding, if not sooner
terminated under the provisions of paragraph IX, the Plan shall terminate upon
and no further Options shall be granted after the expiration of ten years from
the effective date of the Plan.


                                      VIII

                       Recapitalization or Reorganization

         (a)     The existence of the Plan and the Options granted hereunder
shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board of Directors or the
stockholders of the Corporation to make or authorize any adjustment,
recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Corporation's capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, any
issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or
affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or
business, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

         (b)     The shares with respect to which Options may be granted are
shares of Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the
expiration of an Option theretofore granted, the Corporation shall effect a
subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of a stock
dividend on Stock without receipt of consideration by the Corporation, the
number of shares of Stock with respect to which such Option may thereafter be
exercised (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares
shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price per share shall be
proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of
outstanding shares shall be proportionately reduced, and the purchase price per
share shall be proportionately increased.

         (c)     If the Corporation recapitalizes or otherwise changes its
capital structure, thereafter upon any exercise of an Option theretofore
granted the optionee shall be entitled to purchase under such Option, in lieu
of the number of shares of Stock as to which such Option shall then be
exercisable, the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which
the optionee would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of such
recapitalization if, immediately prior to such recapitalization, the optionee
had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock as to which such
Option is then exercisable. If the Corporation shall not be the surviving
corporation in any merger or consolidation (or survives only as a subsidiary of
another corporation), if the Corporation is to sell all or substantially all of
its assets, if the ownership of more than 45% of the outstanding shares of
stock shall change as a result of a concerted action by one or more persons or
corporations, or if an attempt is so made to effect such a change of ownership,
or if the Corporation is to be dissolved and liquidated (each such event is
referred to as a "Corporate Change"), then the Board of Directors, in order to
protect the rights of holders of outstanding Options, may upon recommendation
of the Committee (i) accelerate the time at which Options may be exercised in
full on or before a date (before or after such Corporate Change) fixed by the
Committee, (ii) provide that outstanding Options be exercisable in the manner
provided for Rights in Paragraph III (regardless of whether the option
otherwise provides for Rights), which provision may be given or withheld on an 
individual basis, and such outstanding Option remaining unexercised as of a 
date fixed by the

Committee shall be surrendered by the holder to the Corporation for
cancellation, and the holder shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to
the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Stock subject to
such Option (which in the event of a change in the ownership of more than 45%
of the outstanding shares of Stock shall nor be less per share than the amount
of cash and the fair market value of other consideration tendered for such
outstanding shares) over the aggregate option price of such shares, and/or
(iii) cause Options then outstanding to be assumed, or new options substituted
therefor, by any surviving corporation in such Corporate Change. For purposes
of this Paragraph VIII, the Corporation shall not be considered to be the
surviving corporation in a merger the result of which is a change in ownership
of more than 45% of the outstanding shares of Stock.

         (d)     Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the
Corporation of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labour or services, upon
direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible into
such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value,
shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Options theretofore
granted or the purchase price per share.


                                       IX

                      Amendment or Termination of the Plan

         The Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any
time with respect to any shares for which Options have not theretofore been
granted. The Board of Directors shall have the right to alter or amend the Plan
or any part thereof from time to time; provided, that no change in any Option
theretofore granted may be made which would impair the rights of the optionee
without the consent of such optionee; and provided, further, that the Board may
not make any alteration or amendment which would materially increase the
benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, change the class of employees
eligible to receive Options under the Plan, or extend the term of the Plan,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation.

                     SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
                              FOR SENIOR OFFICERS


         WHEREAS, Service Corporation International has established an unfunded
deferred compensation plan for certain management personnel so as to retain
their loyalty and to offer a further incentive to them to maintain and increase
their standard of performance, which plan is entitled the Service Corporation
International Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Senior Officers (the
"Prior Plan"); and

         WHEREAS, in Section 8.1 of the Prior Plan, Service Corporation
International reserves the right to amend the plan from time to time; and

         WHEREAS, it has been determined that the Prior Plan should be
completely amended, restated and continued in the form of this Plan ("Plan")
without a gap or lapse in coverage, time, or effect, in order to reflect
certain amendments to the Plan.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Service Corporation International hereby amends,
restates and continues the Prior Plan in the form of this Plan, without a gap
or lapse in coverage, time, or effect, the terms of which Plan are as follows:
<PAGE>   5
                                   ARTICLE I

                                  DEFINITIONS

         "ACCRUED BENEFIT" means as of any given time the amount of a
Participant's unpaid Retirement Benefit as described in Section 3.1.  The
mortality and interest rate assumptions used to determine the present value of
lump sum payments of the Accrued Benefit will be the same assumptions as are
then currently being used in computing benefits under the SCI Cash Balance
Plan.  If there is no SCI Cash Balance Plan or successor qualified defined
benefit plan, then the actuarial factors to be used will be those actuarial
factors as are selected by the actuarial firm that last serviced the SCI Cash
Balance Plan prior to its termination or merger, as being then appropriate had
the SCI Cash Balance Plan remained in existence at its last level of benefits
and with its last participant census.

         "BENEFICIARY" means a person or entity designated by the Participant
under the terms of this Plan to receive any amounts distributed under the Plan
upon the death of the Participant.

         "BOARD OF DIRECTORS" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

         "CHANGE OF CONTROL" means an event listed in subparagraph (a), (b),
(c) or (d) below.

                 (a)      The acquisition by a Person of beneficial ownership
         (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities
         Act) of 20% or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of Stock
         or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting
         Securities.

                 However, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a
         Change of Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company
         (excluding an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion
         privilege), (2) any acquisition by any





                                       2
<PAGE>   6
         employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by
         any corporation controlled by the Company or (3) any acquisition by a
         corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation, if,
         following the reorganization, merger or consolidation, the conditions
         described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (c) of this
         definition are satisfied.

                 (b)      Individuals who, as of January 1, 1992, constitute
         the Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
         constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

                 However, any individual becoming a director subsequent to
         January 1, 1992, whose election, or nomination for election by the
         shareholders of the Company, was approved by (1) a vote of at least a
         majority of the directors then constituting the Incumbent Board, or
         (2) a vote of at least a majority of the directors then composing the
         Executive Committee of the Board of Directors at a time when that
         committee was composed of at least five members and all members of the
         committee were either members of the Incumbent Board or considered as
         being members of the Incumbent Board under clause (1) of this
         subsection (b), shall be considered as though that individual were a
         member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
         individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of
         either an actual or threatened election contest (as those terms are
         used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities
         Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
         by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors.

                 (c)      Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
         reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, unless,
         immediately following the reorganization, merger or consolidation (1)
         more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
         stock of the corporation resulting from that reorganization, merger or
         consolidation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
         voting securities of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
         indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and
         entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
         outstanding Stock and outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior
         to the reorganization, merger or consolidation in substantially the
         same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to the
         reorganization, merger or consolidation, of the outstanding Stock and
         outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person
         (excluding any employee benefit plan or related trust) of the
         corporation resulting from the reorganization, merger or consolidation
         and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to the
         reorganization, merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly, 20%
         or more of the outstanding Stock or outstanding Voting Securities, as
         the case may be, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or
         more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of
         the corporation resulting from the reorganization, merger or
         consolidation or the combined voting power of the then outstanding
         voting securities of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors and (3) at least a majority of the members of
         the board of

         increases in such Retirement Benefits.  For each such calendar year
         the increase in the selected  Participant's monthly Retirement Benefit

         Benefit as of his Retirement Date, his date of death, or the date of
         Change of Control, whichever event triggered the commencement of
         Retirement Benefits to the Participant, times (ii) the percentage of
         increase in the

         selected by the Committee in its sole discretion shall accrue, as of
         the last day of 1994 and of each succeeding calendar year,
         cost-of-living increases in such Retirement Benefits.  The amount of
         such cost-of-living increases will be determined under the method
         described in subsection (b) immediately above.  The Committee will
         advise selected Participants of their selection for any cost-of-
         living increase granted under this Section 3.1(c).

         3.2     FORM AND TIME OF PAYMENT.  Except as provided in Article IV,
the monthly Retirement Benefit will begin on the first day of the month
coincident with or next following the Participant's Retirement Date.  The
Participant will receive a Retirement Benefit under this Plan for the lesser of
180 months or his lifetime.  If he dies before 180 payments have been made to
him, no further Retirement Benefit shall be payable to him; instead his
Beneficiary shall receive the death benefit, if any, due under Article V.

to (i) each Participant who is an Employee of the Company on the date of the
Change of Control, a lump sum cash payment equal to the present value, as of
the date of such Change in Control, of the Accrued Benefit to which the
Participant would have been entitled if he had continued to earn Credited
Service from the date of the Change of Control to the date of his 65th
birthday; and (ii) each Participant whose Retirement Date occurred before a
Change of Control; (or his Beneficiary, if the Participant has died) a lump sum
payment equal to the present value, as of the date of the Change of Control, of
any remaining Accrued Benefit of such Participant.

                                 DEATH BENEFIT

         5.1     BENEFITS IN THE EVENT OF PARTICIPANT'S DEATH.  If the
Participant dies after Retirement, his Beneficiary shall receive a lump sum
cash payment of the present value, as of such Participant's date of death, of
the Participant's Accrued Benefit.  If the Participant dies before Retirement,
his Beneficiary shall receive a lump sum cash payment of the present value, as
of such Participant's date of death, of the greater of the Participant's actual
Accrued Benefit or the Accrued Benefit to which the Participant would have been
entitled if he had continued to earn Credited Service from the date of his
death to the date of his 65th birthday.

         5.2     BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.  Each Participant upon entering the
Plan shall file with the Committee a designation of one or more Beneficiaries
to whom the death benefit provided by this Article V shall be paid in the event
of the Participant's death.  The designation will be effective upon receipt by
the Committee of a properly executed form that the Committee has approved for
that purpose.  The Participant may from time to time revoke or change any
designation of Beneficiary by filing another approved Beneficiary designation
form with the Committee.  If there is no valid designation of Beneficiary on
file with the Committee at the time of the Participant's death or if all of the
Beneficiaries designated in the last Beneficiary designation have predeceased
the Participant (or, in the case of one or more trusts, have ceased to exist)
the Beneficiary will be the Participant's spouse if the spouse survives the
Participant; or otherwise the Participant's estate.  If any Beneficiary
survives the Participant but dies (or, in the case of a trust, ceases to exist)
before receiving all payments due under this Article V, the balance of the
payments that would have been paid to that Beneficiary will, unless the





                                       12
<PAGE>   16
Participant's designation provides otherwise, be distributed to the deceased
individual Beneficiary's estate or to the Participant's estate in the case of a
Beneficiary that is not an individual.

                      PROVISIONS RELATING TO ALL BENEFITS

         6.1     EFFECT OF THIS ARTICLE.  The provisions of this Article will
           control over all other provisions of this Plan.

         6.2     BENEFITS UPON RE-EMPLOYMENT.  If a former Participant who is
receiving benefit payments under this Plan is reemployed by the Company, the
payment of the Retirement Benefit hereunder will continue during his period of
reemployment.  The re- employed former Participant's benefit will not be
changed as a result of his reemployment.

         6.3     FORFEITURE FOR CAUSE.  If the Committee finds, after full
consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and a
Participant, that the Participant was discharged by the Company for fraud,
embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, proven dishonesty in the course of
his employment by the Company that damaged the Company, or for disclosing trade
secrets of the Company, the Participant's entire Accrued Benefit will be
forfeited and neither such Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any
further claim to benefits under this Plan.  The decision of the Committee as to
the cause of a Participant's discharge and the damage done to the Company will
be final.  No decision of the Committee will affect the finality of the
discharge of the Participant by the Company in any manner.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the forfeiture created by this Section will not apply to a
Participant discharged during the Plan Year in which a Change of Control
occurs, or during the next three succeeding Plan Years following the Plan Year
in which a Change of Control occurs, unless an arbitrator selected to review
the Committee's findings agrees with the Committee's determination to apply the
forfeiture.  The arbitrator will be selected by permitting the Company and the
Participant each





                                       14
<PAGE>   18
to strike one name from a panel of three names obtained from the American
Arbitration Association.  The person whose name is remaining will be the
arbitrator.

         6.4     CLAIMS PROCEDURE.  When a benefit is due, the Member or
Beneficiary should submit his claim to the person or office designated by the
Committee to receive claims.  Under normal circumstances, a final decision will
be made as to a claim within 90 days after receipt of the claim.  If the
Committee notifies the claimant in writing during the initial 90 day period, it
may extend the period up to 180 days after the initial receipt of the claim.
The written notice must contain the circumstances necessitating the extension
and the anticipated date for the final decision.  If a claim is denied during
the claims period, the Committee must notify the claimant in writing.  The
denial must include the specific reasons for it, the Plan provisions upon which
the denial is based, and the claims review procedure.  If no action is taken
during the claims period, the claim is treated as if it were denied on the last
day of the claims period.

         If a Participant's or Beneficiary's claim is denied and he wants a
review, he must apply to the Committee in writing.  That application may
include any comment or argument the claimant wants to make.  The claimant may
either represent himself or appoint a representative, either of whom has the
right to inspect all documents pertaining to the claim and its denial.  The
Committee may schedule any meeting with the claimant or his representative that
it finds necessary or appropriate to complete its review.

         The request for review must be filed within 90 days after the denial.
If it is not, the denial becomes final.  If a timely request for review is
made, the Committee must make its decision, under normal circumstances, within
60 days of the receipt of the request for review.   However, if the Committee
notifies the claimant prior to the expiration of the initial 60 day





                                       15
<PAGE>   19
review period, it may extend the period of review up to 120 days following the
initial receipt of the request for a review.  All decisions of the Committee
must be in writing and must include the specific reasons for its action and the
Plan provisions on which its decision is based.  If a decision is not given to
the claimant within the review period, the claim is treated as if it were
denied on the last day of the review period.

         6.5     PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO A PARTICIPANT.  The provisions of the
Plan applicable to any Participant hereunder shall be those provisions that are
in effect on the date of the Participant's termination of employment with the
Company unless a subsequent amendment of the Plan by its express terms (but
subject to Section 3.1(a)) applies to Participants who have previously
terminated employment with the Company.

The Company will pay the benefits due the Participants under this Plan.

         9.2     PLAN MAY BE FUNDED THROUGH A RABBI TRUST.  It is specifically
recognized by both the Company and the Participants that the Company may, but
is not required to, contribute any amount it finds desirable to a trust
established to accumulate assets sufficient to fund the obligations of the
Company under this Plan.  However, under all circumstances, the rights of the
Participants to the assets held in the trust will be no greater than the rights
expressed in this agreement.  Nothing contained in the trust agreement that
creates the funding trust will constitute a guarantee by the Company that
assets of the Company transferred to the trust will be sufficient to pay any
benefits under this Plan or would place the Participant in a secured position
ahead of general creditors should the Company become insolvent or bankrupt.
Any trust agreement prepared to fund the Company's obligations under this Plan
must specifically set out these principles so it is clear in that trust
agreement that the Participants in this Plan are only unsecured general
creditors of the Company in relation to their benefits under this Plan.

         9.3     PARTICIPANTS MUST RELY ONLY ON GENERAL CREDIT OF THE COMPANY.
It is also specifically recognized by both the Company and the Participants
that this Plan is only a general corporate commitment and that each Participant
must rely upon the general credit of the Company for the fulfillment of its
obligations under this Plan.  Under all circumstances the rights of
Participants to any asset held by the Company will be no greater than the
rights expressed in this Plan.  Nothing contained in this Plan will constitute
a guarantee by the





                                       22
<PAGE>   26
Company that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefits
under this Plan or would place the Participant in a secured position ahead of
general unsecured creditors of the Company.  Though the Company may establish
or become a signatory to a rabbi trust, as indicated in Section 9.2, to
accumulate assets to fulfill its obligations, the Plan and that trust will not
create any lien, claim, encumbrance, right, title or other interest of any kind
in any Participant in any asset held by the Company, contributed to the trust
or otherwise designated to be used for payment of any of its obligations
created in this Plan.  No specific asset of the Company has been or will be set
aside, or will in any way be transferred to the trust or will be pledged for
the performance of the Company's obligations under this Plan in any way that
would remove the asset from being subject to the creditors of the Company.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         10.1    RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.
The Committee will furnish to the Company information concerning the amount and
form of distribution to any Participant entitled to a distribution so that the
Company may make or cause any rabbi trust established to make the distribution
required.  It will also calculate the deductions from the amount of the benefit
paid under this Plan for any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or
local government and will cause them to be withheld.

         10.2    LIMITATION OF RIGHTS.  Nothing in this Plan will be construed:

                 (a)      to give a Participant any right with respect to any
         benefit except in accordance with the terms of this Plan;

                 (b)      to limit in any way the right of the Company to
         terminate a Participant's employment with the Company at any time;

                 (c)      to evidence any agreement or understanding, expressed
         or implied, that the Company will employ a Participant in any
         particular position or for any particular remuneration; or

                 (d)      to give a Participant or any other person claiming
         through him any interest or right under this Plan other than that of
         any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

         10.3    DISTRIBUTIONS TO INCOMPETENTS OR MINORS.  Should a Participant
become incompetent or should a Participant designate a Beneficiary who is a
minor or incompetent, the Committee is authorized to pay the funds due to the
parent of the minor or to the guardian of





                                       24
<PAGE>   28
the minor or incompetent or to apply those funds for the benefit of the minor
or incompetent in any manner the Committee determines in its sole discretion.
The application of those funds under this provision will relieve the Company of
any further liability to the Participant or his Beneficiary to the extent of
the application of those funds.

         10.4    NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS.  No right or benefit provided in
this Plan will be transferable by the Participant except, upon his death, to a
named Beneficiary as provided in this Plan.  No right or benefit under this
Plan will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber, or charge the same will be void.  No right or benefit under
this Plan will in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts,
liabilities or torts of the person entitled to the benefit.  If any Participant
or any Beneficiary becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit under this Plan, that
right or benefit will, in the sole discretion of the Committee, cease.  In that
event, the Committee may have the Company hold or apply the right or benefit or
any part of it to the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary, his or her
spouse, children or other dependents or any of them in any manner and in any
proportion the Committee believes to be proper in its sole and absolute
discretion, but is not required to do so.

         10.5    RELIANCE UPON INFORMATION.  The Committee will not be liable
for any decision or action taken in good faith in connection with the
administration of this Plan.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any decision or action taken by the Committee when it relies upon information
supplied it by any officer of the Company, the Company's legal counsel, the





                                       25
<PAGE>   29
Company's actuary, the Company's independent accountants or other advisors in
connection with the administration of this Plan will be deemed to have been
taken in good faith.

         10.6    SEVERABILITY.  If any term, provision, covenant or condition
of this Plan is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the rest
of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated.

         10.7    SURVIVAL OF TERMS.  The provisions of this Plan will bind the
successors of the Company.

         10.8    NOTICE.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be
given to the Committee or a Participant will be sufficient if in writing and
hand delivered or sent by U.S. mail to the principal office of the Company or
to the residential mailing address of the Participant.  Notice will be deemed
to be given as of the date of hand delivery or if delivery is by mail, as of
the date shown on the postmark.

         10.9    GENDER AND NUMBER.  If the context requires it, words of one
gender when used in this Plan will include the other genders, and words used in
the singular or plural will include the other.

         10.10   GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan will be construed, administered and
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas.

(MULTICURRENCY-CROSS BORDER)

                 INTERNATIONAL SWAP DEALERS ASSOCIATIONS, INC.
                                MASTER AGREEMENT

                          dated as of February 4, 1993

Morgan Guaranty Trust Company      Service Corporation International
of New York ("Morgan")       and  (the "Counterparty")          

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

1.       INTERPRETATION

(a)      Definitions.  The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will
have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b)      Inconsistency.  In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement,
the Schedule will prevail.  In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the
Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant
Transaction.

(c)      Single Agreement.  All Transactions are entered in reliance on
the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single
agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"),
and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.       OBLIGATIONS

(a)      General Conditions.

         (i)        Each party will make each payment or deliver specified in
         each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of
         this Agreement.

         (ii)       Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date
         for value on that date in the place of the account specified in
         the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement in
         freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in
         the required currency.  Where settlement is by delivery (that is,
         other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the
         due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless
         otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
         Agreement.

         (iii)      Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is
         subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or
         Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has
         occurred and is continuing,  (2) the condition precedent that no Early
         Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred
         or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition
         precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b)      Change of Account.  Either party may change its account for receiving
a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.

(c)      Netting.  If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:

         (i)        in the same currency: and

         (ii)       in respect of the same Transaction.

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged
and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one
party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by
the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger
aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of
the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction.  The election may be
made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii)
above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the
election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii)
above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date).
This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and
will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make
and receive payments or deliveries.

(d)      Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

         (i)        Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made
         without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax
         unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable
         law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
         authority, then in effect.  If a party is so required to deduct or
         withhold, then that party ("X") will:

                    (1)         promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such
                    requirement;

                    (2)         pay to the relevant authorities the full amount
                    required to be deducted or withheld (including the full
                    amount required to be deducted or withheld from any
                    additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d))
                    promptly upon the earlier of determining that such
                    deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice
                    that such amount has been assessed against Y;

                    (3)         promptly forward to an official receipt (or a
                    certified copy), or other documentation reasonably
                    acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such
                    authorities: and

                    (4)         if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y,
                    in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled
                    under this Agreement, such additional amount as is
                    necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received
                    by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether
                    assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
                    have received had no such deduction or withholding been
                    required.  However, X will not be required to pay any
                    additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be
                    required to be paid but for:

                                (A)         the failure by Y to comply with or
                                perform any agreement contained in Section
                                4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

                                (B)         the failure of a representation
                                made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be
                                accurate and true unless such failure would not
                                have occurred but for (1) any action taken by a
                                taxing authority, or brought in a court of
                                competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
                                which a Transaction is entered into (regardless
                                of whether such action is taken or brought with
                                respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a
                                Change in Tax Law.





                                       2

         (ii)       Liability, if:

                    (1)         X is required by any applicable law, as
                    modified by the practice of any relevant governmental
                    revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in
                    respect of which X would not be required to pay an 
                    additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

                    (2)         X does not so deduct or withhold; and

                    (3)         a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed
                    directly against X,

         then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
         liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount
         of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but
         including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to
         comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i),
         4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e)      Default Interest; Other Amounts.  Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect to the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay
interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other
party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period
from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the
date of actual payment, at the Default Rate.  Such interest will be calculated
on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.  If,
prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date
in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of
any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.

3.       REPRESENTATIONS

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered
into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times
until the termination of this Agreement) that:

(a)      Basic Representations.

         (i)        Status.  It is duly organized and validly existing under
         the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and,
         if relevant under such laws, in good standing;

         (ii)       Powers.  It has the power to execute this Agreement and any
         other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party,
         to deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this
         Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it
         has under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has
         taken all necessary action to authorise such execution, delivery and
         performance;

         (iii)      No Violation or Conflict.  Such execution, delivery and
         performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it,
         any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment
         of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of
         its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it
         or any of its assets;

         (iv)       Consents.  All governmental and other consents that are
         required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or
         any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained
         and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such
         consents have been complied with; and

         (v)        Obligations Binding.  Its obligations under this Agreement
         and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its
         legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with
         their respective terms  (subject to applicable bankruptcy,
         reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to
         equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether
         enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.))





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
(b)      Absence of Certain Events.  No Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred
and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of
its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(c)      Absence of Litigation.  There is not pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding
at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency
or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity
or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or such Credit Support Document.

(d)      Accuracy of Specified Information.  All applicable information that is
furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified
for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the

Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have
any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party:

(a)      Furnish Specified Information.  It will deliver to the other party or,
in certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing
authority as the other party reasonably directs:

         (i)        any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation
         specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation;

         (ii)       any other documents specified in the Schedule or any
         Confirmation; and

         (iii)      upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or
         document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in
         order to allow such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make
         a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support
         Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any
         Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long
         as the completion, execution, or submission of such form or document
         would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the
         party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to
         be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such
         other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably
         required certification,

in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b)      Maintain Authorisations.  It will use all reasonable efforts to
maintain in full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other
authority that are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement
or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all
reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.

(c)      Comply with Laws.  It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(d)      Tax Agreement.  It will give notice of any failure of a representation
made by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of
such failure.

(e)      Payment of Stamp Tax.  Subject to Section II, it will pay any Stamp
Tax levied or imposed upon it or in respect of its execution or performance of
this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated,





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
organised, managed and controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which
a branch or office through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement
is located ("Stamp Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other party
against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of
the other party's execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp
Tax Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the
other party.

5.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND TERMINATION EVENTS

(a)      Events of Default.  The occurrence at any time with respect to a party
or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified

                                applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an
                                analogous effect to any of the events specified

                                any of the foregoing acts; or

                    (viii)      Merger Without Assumption.  The party or any
                    Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or
                    amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all
                    or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
                    the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
                    transfer:

                                (1)         the resulting, surviving or
                                transferee entity fails to assume all the
                                obligations of such party or such Credit
                                Support Provider under this Agreement or any
                                Credit Support Document to which it or its
                                predecessor was a party by operation of law or
                                pursuant to an agreement reasonably
                                satisfactory to the other party to this
                                Agreement; or

                                (2)         the benefits of any Credit Support
                                Document fail to extend (without the consent of
                                the other party) to the performance by such
                                resulting, surviving or transferee entity of
                                its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)      Termination Events.  The occurrence at any time with respect to a
party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an
Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is
specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in
(iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event.  

                                      6

Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional
Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:

         (i)        ILLEGALITY.  Due to the adoption of, or any change in any
         applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into,
         or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by
         any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent
         jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes
         unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section
         4(b)) for such party (which will be the affected Party);

                    (1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to
                    make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or
                    delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with
                    any other material provision of this Agreement relating to
                    such Transaction; or

                    (2) to preform or for any Credit Support Provider or such
                    party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which
                    the party ( or such Credit Support Provider) has under any
                    Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

         (ii)       TAX EVENT.  Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing
         authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction on or after
         the date on which a Transaction is entered into regardless of whether
         such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this
         Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the
         Affected Party will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it
         will, on the next succeeding Schedule Payment Date (1) be required to
         pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an
         Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4)(except in respect of
         interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or (2) receive a payment from
         which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on
         account of Tax (except in respect of interest under Section
         2(e),6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid
         in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4)(other than by reason
         of Section 2(d)(i)(4(A) or (B)):

         (iii)      TAX EVENT UPON MERGER.  The party (the "Burdened Party") on
         the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required
         to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under
         Section 2(d)(i)(4)(except in respect of interest under Section
         2(d),6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount
         has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable
         Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an
         additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or
         (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or
         amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or
         substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the
         Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
         described in Section 5(a)(viii);

         (iv)       CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER.  If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is
         specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"),
         any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of
         X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
         transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and
         such action does not constitute an event described in Section
         5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or
         transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit
         Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be,
         immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its
         successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party);
         or

         (v)        ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT.  If any "Additional
         Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as
         applying, the  occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the
         Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such
         Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c)      EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY.  If an event or circumstance which
would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes
any Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute any
Event of Default.

6.       EARLY TERMINATION

(a)      RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT.  If at any time an
Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred
and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by
not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant
Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is
effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions.  If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the
Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of
all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with
respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1),
(3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time
immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the
presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such
party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b)      RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.

         (i)        NOTICE.  If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party
         will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party,
         specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected
         Transaction and will also give such other information about that
         Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

         (ii)       TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT.  If either an
         illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is
         only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the
         Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a
         condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under
         Section 6(b)(iv) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in
         respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or
         Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

         If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
         notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
         whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days
         after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

         Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be
         subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other
         party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's
         policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into
         transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

         (iii)      TWO AFFECTED PARTIES.  If an illegality under Section
         5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties,
         each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within
         30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on
         action to avoid that Termination Event.

         (iv)       RIGHT TO TERMINATE. IF:

                    (1)         a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an
                    agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has
                    not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions
                    within 30 days after an Affected Party gives under Section
                    6(b)(i);

                    (2)         an illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a
                    Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event
                    occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened
                    Party is not the Affected Party.

         either party in the case of an illegality, the Burdened Party in the
         case of the Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a
         Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one
         Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the
         case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event
         if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days
         notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination
         Event is then





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is
         effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
         Transactions.

(c)      Effect of Designation

         (i)        If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given
         under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on
         the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default
         or Termination Event is then continuing.

         (ii)       Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early
         Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section
         2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect to the Terminated Transactions will be
         required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of
         this Agreement.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
         Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d)      Calculations.

         (i)        Statement.  On or as soon as reasonably practicable
         following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will
         make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section
         6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in
         reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant
         quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and
         (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable
         to it is to be paid.  In the absence of written confirmation from the
         source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the
         records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive
         evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

         (ii)       Payment Date.  An amount calculated as being due in respect
         of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on
         the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of
         an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of
         an Event of Default and on the day which is two Local Business Days
         after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in
         the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result
         of a Termination Event).  Such amount will be paid together with (to
         the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as
         well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and
         including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the
         date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate.  Such interest will
         be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number
         of days elapsed.

(e)      Payments on Early Termination.  If any Early Termination Date occurs,

         the following provisions shall apply  based on the parties election in
         the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or
         "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second
         Method".  If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or
         payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market
         Quotation" of the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply. 
         The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
         determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
        
         (i)        Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results
         from an Event of Default:
                                                                          
                    (1)  First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method
                    and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay
                    to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive
                    number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined
                    by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
                    Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the
                    Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B)
                    the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
                    owing to the Defaulting Party.

                    (2)  First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss
                    apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting
                    Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's
                    Loss in respect of this Agreement.

                    (3)  Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second
                    Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be
                    payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount
                    (determined by the





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
                    Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
                    Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the
                    Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B)
                    the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
                    owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive
                    number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
                    Non-defaulting Party: if it is a negative number, the
                    Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that
                    amount to the Defaulting Party.

                    (4)  Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss
                    apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-
                    defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If
                    that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will
                    pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative
                    number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
                    value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

         (ii)       TERMINATION EVENTS. If the Early Termination Date results
         from a Termination Event:

                    (1)  One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party,
                    the amount payable will be determined in accordance with
                    Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section
                    6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case,
                    references to the Defaulting Party and to the
                    Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the
                    Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected
                    Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than
                    all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be
                    calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

                    (2)         Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected
                                Parties:--

                                (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party
                                will determine a Settlement Amount in respect
                                of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount
                                will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
                                one-half of the difference between the
                                Settlement Amount of the party with the higher
                                Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement
                                Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
                                Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency
                                Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X
                                less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent
                                of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

                                (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine
                                its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if
                                fewer than all the Transactions are being
                                terminated, in respect of all Terminated
                                Transactions) and an amount will be payable
                                equal to one-half of the difference between the
                                Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X")
                                and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss
                                ("Y").

                    If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it
                    to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute
                    value of that amount to Y.

         (iii)  ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
         Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies
         in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e)
         will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted
         by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the
         other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during
         the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for
         payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

         (iv)  PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies
         an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable
         pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the
         loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and
         except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be
         entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such
         losses.

7.       TRANSFER

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that:

(a)      a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to
any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b)      a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in
any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be
void.

8.       CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY

(a)      Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement
will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that
payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable
law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual
Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency
other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results
in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a
reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into
the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all
amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in
the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the
Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required
to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be
necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the
Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will
refund promptly the amount of such excess.

(b)  Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such
party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums
and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion
into the Contractual Currency.

(c)      Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the
party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being
obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of
this Agreement.

(d)      Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be
sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an
actual exchange or purchase been made.

9.       MISCELLANEOUS

(a)      Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b)      Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by
an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging
system.

(c)      Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.

(d)      Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e)      Counterparts and Confirmations.

         (i)        This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver
         in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts
         (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an
         original.

         (ii)       The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms
         of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether
         orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as
         practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts
         (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of
         telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic
         messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all
         purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The
         parties will specify therein or through another effective means that
         any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a
         Confirmation.

(f)      No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power
or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g)      Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10.      OFFICES: MULTIBRANCH PARTIES

(a)      If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party
that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home
office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking
office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the
obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the
Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed
to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered
into.

(b)      Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and
receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the
prior written consent of the other party.

(c)      If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a
Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

11.      EXPENSES

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination
of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

12.      NOTICES

         generated by the sender's facsimile machine);

         (iv)       if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if
         overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date

effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.

(b)      Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change
the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details
at which notices or other communications are to be given to it.

13.      GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

(a)      Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b)      Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating

         Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the
         non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and
         the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan
         in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the
         laws of the State of New York; and

         (ii)       waives any objection which it may have at any time to the
         laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives
         any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient
         forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such
         Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such
         party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed
by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or
re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c)      Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent
(if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on
its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
reason any party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will
promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process
agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service
of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in
this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

(d)      Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and
assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds
of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suite, (ii) jurisdiction of
any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or
for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or
after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or
its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the
courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency
Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be
its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative
number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of
bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without
duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating,
obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain
resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in
respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming

Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if
Section 6(e)(i)(I) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a

and party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition
precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the
occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have





                                       15
<PAGE>   16
been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of
the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be
excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for
the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction
of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to
be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation
as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The
party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference
Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as
of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon
as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day
and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in
good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e),
and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more
than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic
mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and
lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market
Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and
lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same
highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be
disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed
that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it)

on, such payer.

"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of:

positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated

commercially reasonable result.

to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided
below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at
or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is
located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a
rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early

                 arise only upon the date that all indebtedness and obligations,
                 whether matured or unmatured, of the Defaulting Party or any 
                 Affiliate of the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party

         provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
         impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor, in good faith
         negotiations, to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
         provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
         close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
         provisions.

               FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED 1987 STOCK PLAN

         WHEREAS, on March 13, 1991, the Board of Directors of Service
Corporation International (the "Company") adopted, and, and May 9, 1991, the
shareholders of the Company approved, the Service Corporation International
1987 Stock Plan (the "Plan"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend certain provision of the Plan
relating to the expiration of Forfeiture Restriction Periods (as defined
therein);

                                W I T N E S E T H

         Effective as of August 12, 1993, Section 7(a) of the Plan is amended
to read as follows in its entirety:

        "(a) Restriction Period to be Established by the Committee. At
        the time an Award is made, the Committee shall establish the
        Forefeiture Restriction Period and the Forfeiture Restrictions
        applicable to such Award. The Forfeiture Restriction Period with
        respect to any Award shall be not more than ten years and not less than
        six months from the date of the Award. In the discretion of the
        Committee each Award may have different Forfeiture Restrictions and
        Forfeiture Restriction Periods and parts of an Award may have different
        Forfeiture Restrictions and Forfeiture Restriction Periods. Without
        limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the time of the grant of
        an Award, the Forfeiture Restriction Period with respect to all or part
        of an Award may be subject to reduction (but not less than six months
        from the date of the grant of the Award) in the event financial targets
        for the Company specified in the Award are achieved. After the grant of
        an Award, the Forfeiture Restriction Period applicable to such Award
        shall not be changed except as permitted by Paragraph 8, unless a
        Change of Control occurs. If a Change of Control occurs, the Forfeiture
        Rstriction Period for all Awards shall expire and the Forfeiture
        Restrictions imposed with respect to all awards shall lapse immediately
        upon occurrence of the Change of Control."
