                             AVAILABLE INFORMATION
 
The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance
therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Such reports, proxy
statements and other information can be inspected and copied at the public
reference facilities of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20549; 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661; and 7 World Trade
Center, New York, New York 10048. Copies of such material can also be obtained
from the public reference section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. In addition, such material can be
inspected at the offices of the New York Stock Exchange, 20 Broad Street, New
York, New York 10005.
 
Additional information regarding the Company, SCI Finance and the Securities is
contained in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part and
the exhibits relating thereto (the "Registration Statement") filed with the
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). For further
information pertaining to the Company, SCI Finance and the Securities reference
is made to the Registration Statement, which may be inspected without charge at
the office of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549,
and copies thereof may be obtained from the Commission at prescribed rates. This
Prospectus and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement do not contain all the
information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are
omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Statements made in this Prospectus and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement as
to the contents of any contract, agreement or other document referred to are not
necessarily complete. With respect to each such contract, agreement or other
document filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, reference is made to
the exhibit for a more complete description of the matter involved, and each
such statement shall be deemed qualified in its entirety by such reference.
 
No separate financial statements of SCI Finance have been included or
incorporated by reference herein. SCI Finance and SCI do not consider that such
financial statements would be material to holders of the LLC Preferred
Securities, because SCI Finance is a newly-organized special purpose entity, has
no operating history and no independent operations and is not engaged in any
activity other than the issuance of its preferred interests (the "LLC Preferred
Shares"), such as the LLC Preferred Securities, and its common interests (the
"LLC Common Shares"), and the lending of 99% of the proceeds thereof to SCI
International Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI ("SCI Limited"), and
because SCI will guarantee SCI Finance's obligations under the terms of the LLC
Preferred Securities to the extent set forth herein. See "SCI Finance." SCI
Finance is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of
Texas and will be managed by SCI, as manager (sometimes referred to herein as
the "Manager"). SCI owns all of the LLC Common Shares, which are
nontransferable.

                       CERTAIN INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
 
In evaluating an investment in the Securities, prospective purchasers should
carefully consider the following factor, together with (i) other information
included in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement (which may include additional
factors and may contain information modifying or superseding the factor set
forth below), (ii) information included elsewhere in this Prospectus, and (iii)
information incorporated herein by reference (which may modify or supersede the
factor set forth below).
 
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION INVESTIGATION
 
The staff of the Division of Enforcement of the Commission has advised SCI that
it is considering recommending to the Commission that it institute an
administrative proceeding pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act seeking
cease and desist orders against SCI, R. L. Waltrip, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, L. William Heiligbrodt, President and Chief Operating
Officer, and Samuel W. Rizzo, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer/Treasurer, for violations of certain reporting and disclosure
requirements of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The
recommendation under consideration by the staff arises out of the informal
private investigation previously disclosed by SCI relating to, among other
things, the change in SCI's accountants and SCI's Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993,
as amended in April 1993, reporting such change. See Items 3 and 9 of SCI's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. The
staff has offered SCI and the named individuals the opportunity to make a
presentation with respect to the recommendation under consideration.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Except as may be otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement accompanying
this Prospectus, the net proceeds to the Company from the sale or sales of the
Securities other than LLC Preferred Securities will be used for general
corporate purposes. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
accompanying this Prospectus, 99% of the proceeds from any offering of the LLC
Preferred Securities will be lent by SCI Finance to SCI Limited (the "Loans"),
which will use such proceeds in connection with SCI's foreign acquisition
program, and the remaining 1% will be invested by SCI Finance in Eligible
Investments.

summaries of certain provisions of the Indentures and the Debt Securities do not
purport to be complete, and such summaries are subject to the detailed
provisions of the applicable Indenture to which reference is hereby made for a
full description of such provisions, including the definition of certain
capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein. Whenever defined
terms of the applicable Indenture are referred to, such defined terms are
incorporated herein by reference as part of the statement made, and the
statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The Indentures are
substantially identical, except for certain covenants of the Company, events of
default and provisions relating to subordination and conversion.
 
The Debt Securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The
following description of the Debt Securities sets forth certain general terms
and provisions of the Debt Securities of all series. The particular terms of
each series of Debt Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement will be
described therein.
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SENIOR, SENIOR SUBORDINATED AND SUBORDINATED DEBT
SECURITIES
 
General. The Debt Securities will be unsecured senior, senior subordinated or
subordinated obligations of the Company and may be issued from time to time in
one or more series. The Indentures will not limit the amount of Debt Securities,
Senior Indebtedness, debentures, notes or other types of indebtedness that may
be issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor will they restrict
transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, the payment of dividends or
the making of investments by the Company or the transfer of assets by the
Company to its Subsidiaries. The Company currently conducts substantially all
its operations through Subsidiaries. Consequently, the rights of the Company to
receive assets of any Subsidiary (and thus the ability of holders of Debt
Securities to benefit indirectly from such assets) are subject to the prior
claims of creditors of that Subsidiary. Other than as may be set forth in any
Prospectus Supplement, the Indentures and the Debt Securities will not contain
any covenants or other provisions that are intended to afford holders of the
Debt Securities special protection in the event of a highly leveraged
transaction by the Company. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had outstanding
approximately $714 million of secured debt or Senior Indebtedness (including
approximately $34 million principal amount of guarantees) and approximately $471
million of unsecured subordinated debt.
 
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to any Debt Securities
for the following terms of and information relating to such Debt Securities (to
the extent such terms are applicable thereto): (i) the title of such Debt
Securities; (ii) classification as Senior Debt Securities, Senior Subordinated
Debt Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities, aggregate principal amount,
purchase price and denomination; (iii) whether such Debt Securities that
constitute Senior Subordinated Debt Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities
are convertible into Common Stock and, if so, the terms and conditions upon
which such conversion will be effected including the initial conversion price or
conversion rate and any adjustments thereto in addition to or different from
those described herein, the conversion period and other conversion provisions in
addition to or in lieu of
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
those described herein; (iv) the date or dates on which such Debt Securities
will mature; (v) the method by which amounts payable in respect of principal of
or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or upon the redemption of such Debt
Securities may be calculated; (vi) the interest rate or rates (or the method by
which such will be determined), and the dates from which such interest, if any,
will accrue; (vii) the date or dates on which any such interest will be payable;
(viii) the place or places where and the manner in which the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities will be payable
and the place or places where such Debt Securities may be presented for transfer
and, if applicable, conversion; (ix) the obligations, if any, of the Company to
redeem, repay or purchase such Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or
analogous provisions or at the option of a holder thereof or the right, if any,
of the Company to redeem, repay or purchase such Debt Securities at its option
and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the
terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities will be redeemed, repaid or
purchased pursuant to any such obligation or right (including the form or method
of payment thereof if other than cash); (x) any terms applicable to such Debt
Securities issued at an original issue discount below their stated principal
amount, including the issue price thereof and the rate or rates at which such
original issue discount shall accrue; (xi) any index used to determine the
amount of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on such Debt
Securities; (xii) any special United States federal income tax consequences; and
(xiii) any other specified terms of such Debt Securities, including any
additional or different events of default or remedies or any additional
covenants provided with respect to such Debt Securities, and any terms which may
be required by or advisable under applicable laws or regulations.
 
Unless otherwise specified in any Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities
will be issued only in fully registered form and in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof. No service charge will be made for any transfer
or exchange of any Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
 
Debt Securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. Debt
Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of
issuance is below the prevailing market rate may be sold at a discount below
their stated principal amount. Special United States federal income tax
considerations applicable to any such discounted Debt Securities or to certain
Debt Securities issued at par that are treated as having been issued at a
discount for United States federal income tax purposes will be described in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
The Indentures and the Debt Securities will be governed by Texas law.
 
Global Securities. The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in
part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global Securities") that
will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the "Depositary")
identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global
Securities may be issued only in fully registered form and in either temporary
or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
individual Debt Securities represented thereby, a Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to the
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
 
The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of
Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
series. The Company anticipates that the following provisions will generally
apply to depositary arrangements.
 
Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security
or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system,
the respective principal amounts of the individual Debt Securities represented
by such Global Security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with such
Depositary. Such accounts shall be designated by the dealers, underwriters or
agents with respect to such Debt Securities or by the Company if such Debt
Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts
with the applicable Depositary ("participants") or persons that may hold
interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global
Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected
only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee
(with respect to interests of participants) and the
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than
participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such
limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in
a Global Security.
 
So long as the Depositary for a Global Security or its nominee is the registered
owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or its nominee, as the case may
be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities of the
series represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture
governing such Debt Securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have any of the
individual Debt Securities of the series represented by such Global Security
registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of any such Debt Securities in definitive form and will not be
considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture governing such Debt
Securities.
 
Payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
individual Debt Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the
name of a Depositary or its nominees will be made to the Depositary or its
nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security
representing such Debt Securities. Neither the Company, the Trustee for such
Debt Securities, any paying agent nor the registrar for such Debt Securities
will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the Global
Security for such Debt Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
 
The Company expects that the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities or its
nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in
respect of a Global Security representing any such Debt Securities, immediately
will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to
their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global
Security for such Debt Securities as shown on the records of such Depositary or
its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by participants to owners of
beneficial interests in such Global Security held through such participants will
be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case
with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in "street name." Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
 
If the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities is at any time unwilling,
unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue individual Debt
Securities of such series in exchange for the Global Security representing such
series of Debt Securities. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its
sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to such Debt Securities, determine not to have any Debt
Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities and, in such
event, will issue individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for the
Global Security or Securities representing such series of Debt Securities.
Further, if the Company so specifies with respect to the Debt Securities of a
series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security representing Debt
Securities of such series may, on terms acceptable to the Company and the
Depositary for such Global Security, receive individual Debt Securities of such
series in exchange for such beneficial interests, subject to any limitations
described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Debt Securities. In any
such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be
entitled to a physical delivery of individual Debt Securities of the series
represented by such Global Security equal in principal amount to such beneficial
interest and to have such Debt Securities registered in its name. Individual
Debt Securities of such series so issued will be issued in denominations, unless
otherwise specified by the Company, of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
 
Consolidation, Merger, Sale. Each Indenture provides that the Company may
consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation, and may sell, lease,
exchange or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and
assets to any other corporation authorized to acquire and operate the same,
provided that in any such case (i) immediately after such transaction the
Company or such other corporation formed by or surviving any such consolidation
or merger, or to which such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition shall
have been made, will not be in default in the performance or observance of any
of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Indenture to be kept or performed
by the Company, (ii) the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger, or to which such sale, lease
exchange or other disposition shall have been made, shall be a corporation
organized under the laws of the United States of America, any state
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
thereof or the District of Columbia, and (iii) the corporation (if other than
the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have
been merged, or the corporation which shall have acquired or leased such
property and assets, shall assume, by a supplemental indenture, the Company's
obligations under such Indenture. In case of any such consolidation, merger,
sale, lease, exchange or other disposition and upon any such assumption by the
successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named in
such Indenture as the Company and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Indenture, and the Company shall be relieved of any further obligation under
such Indenture and any Debt Securities issued thereunder.
 
Discharge and Defeasance. The Company may discharge or defease its obligations
with respect to each series of Debt Securities as set forth below.
 
The Company may discharge all of its obligations (except those set forth below)
to holders of any series of Debt Securities issued under any Indenture, which
Debt Securities have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
and which either have become due and payable or are by their terms due and
payable within one year (or are to be called for redemption within one year) by
depositing with the Trustee cash or U.S. Government Obligations, or a
combination thereof, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to
pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all
outstanding Debt Securities of such series and to make any mandatory sinking
fund payments thereon when due.
 
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company
may also discharge at any time all of its obligations (except those set forth
below) to holders of any series of Debt Securities issued under any Indenture
(other than convertible Debt Securities) ("defeasance") if, among other things:
(i) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash or U.S. Government
Obligations, or a combination thereof, as trust funds in an amount certified to
be sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any,
on all outstanding Debt Securities of such series when due and to make any
mandatory sinking fund payments thereon when due, and such funds have been so
deposited for 91 days; (ii) such deposit will not result in a breach or
violation of, or cause a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound; and (iii) the Company delivers to
the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such series
of Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance, and that such
defeasance will not otherwise alter the United States federal income tax
treatment of principal and interest payments on such series of Debt Securities.
Such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service or a change in United States federal income tax law occurring after the
date of the Indenture relating to the Debt Securities of such series, since such
a result would not occur under current tax law.
 
In the event of such discharge and defeasance of a series of Debt Securities,
the holders thereof would be entitled to look only to such trust funds for
payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Debt
Securities.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no discharge or defeasance described above shall
affect the following obligations to or rights of the holders of any series of
Debt Securities: (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Debt
Securities of such series; (ii) rights of substitution of mutilated, defaced,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities of such series; (iii) rights of
holders of Debt Securities of such series to receive payments of principal
thereof and interest, if any, thereon when due and to receive mandatory sinking
fund payments, if any, thereon when due from the trust funds held by the
Trustee; (iv) the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee; (v)
the rights of holders of Debt Securities of such series as beneficiaries with
respect to property deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them;
(vi) the obligations of the Company to maintain an office or agency in respect
of Debt Securities of such series; and (vii) if applicable, the obligations of
the Company with respect to the conversion of Debt Securities of such series
into Common Stock.
 
Modification of the Indenture. Each Indenture provides that the Company and the
Trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the
holders of the Debt Securities to (i) evidence the assumption by a successor
corporation of the obligations of the Company under such Indenture, (ii) add
covenants or new events of default for the protection of the holders of such
Debt Securities, (iii) cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in the
Indenture, (iv) establish the form and terms of any series of Debt Securities
and to
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
provide for adjustment of conversion rights, (v) evidence the acceptance of
appointment by a successor trustee, (vi) amend the Indenture in any other manner
which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely
affect the interests of the holders of Debt Securities issued thereunder or
(vii) in the case of Senior Debt Securities, secure such Debt Securities.
 
Each Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of each series affected
by such supplemental Indenture, to add any provisions to, or change in any
manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any
manner the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided
that the Company and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of
each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby, (i) extend the stated maturity
of the principal of any Debt Security, reduce the principal amount thereof,
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, reduce or
alter the method of computation of any amount payable on redemption, repayment
or purchase thereof, reduce the portion of the principal amount of any Original
Issue Discount Security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy,
change the coin or currency in which principal and interest, if any, are
payable, impair or affect the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment, repayment or purchase thereof or, if applicable, adversely affect the
right to convert Debt Securities, any right of repayment at the option of the
holder or (solely with respect to the Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture)
change, amend or modify the subordination provisions of such Indenture or any of
the definitions used in the subordination provisions of such Indenture or
consent to the departure from any of the terms of the subordination provisions
of such Indenture in each case in any manner that would adversely affect the
holders of any of the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities issued thereunder or
(ii) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of
any series issued under such Indenture, the consent of the holders of which is
required for any such modification.
 
The Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture may not be amended to alter the
subordination of any outstanding Senior Subordinated Debt Securities, and the
Subordinated Debt Indenture may not be amended to alter the subordination of any
outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities, in each case without the consent of
each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely
affected thereby.
 
Each of the Indentures provides that the term "Original Issue Discount Security"
means any Debt Security that provides for an amount less than the principal
amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
maturity thereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
 
In each of the Indentures, the definition of the term "Outstanding," with
reference to Debt Securities, provides that in determining whether the holders
of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of
any or all series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver under the applicable Indenture, the principal amount
of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding
for such purposes shall be the portion of the principal amount thereof that
would be due and payable as of the date of such determination (as certified by
the Company to the Trustee) upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity
thereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE SOLELY TO SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES
 
General. Senior Debt Securities will be issued under the Senior Debt Indenture,
and each series will rank pari passu as to the right of payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, with each other series and with all other
Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
 
Events of Default. Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, an
Event of Default is defined under the Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the
Senior Debt Securities of any series issued thereunder as being any one or more
of the following events:
 
(i) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Senior
Debt Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
 
(ii) default in the payment of the principal of any of the Senior Debt
Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable
either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
(iii) default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund or other
purchase obligation with respect to Senior Debt Securities of such series, as
and when such obligation shall become due and payable; or
 
(iv) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of
the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Senior Debt
Securities of such series or in the Senior Debt Indenture continued for a period
of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee by
registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders
of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt
Securities of such series then Outstanding; or
 
(v) without the consent of the Company a court having jurisdiction shall enter
an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or
without the consent of the Company a court having jurisdiction shall enter a
judgment, order or decree adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
enter an order for relief for reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or
applicable state insolvency law and the continuance of any such judgment, order
or decree is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
 
(vi) the Company shall institute proceedings for entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or for an adjudication of
insolvency, or shall consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it, or shall file a petition seeking, or seek or consent to,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or
any applicable state law, or shall consent to the filing of such petition or to
the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of substantially all of its
property, or the Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors as recognized under the Bankruptcy Code; or
 
(vii) default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of Indebtedness
for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary or under any mortgage,
indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness), whether such Indebtedness
exists on the date of the Senior Debt Indenture or shall thereafter be created,
which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have
become due and payable, or any default in payment of such Indebtedness (after
the expiration of any applicable grace periods and the presentation of any debt
instruments, if required), if the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness
which has been so accelerated and with respect to which there has been such a
default in payment shall exceed $5,000,000, without each such default and
acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period of 30 days after
there shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee by registered mail, or
to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25 percent in
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt Securities of such series then
Outstanding, a written notice specifying each such default and requiring the
Company to cause each such default and acceleration to be rescinded or annulled
and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the Senior Debt
Indenture; or
 
(viii) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Senior Debt
Securities of such series.
 
If an Event of Default with respect to Senior Debt Securities of any series then
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case,
unless the principal of all of the Senior Debt Securities of such series shall
have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not
less than 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt Securities
of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the unpaid principal amount
(or, if the Senior Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of such series) of all the Senior Debt Securities of such series and the
interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, anything in the Senior Debt Indenture or in the Senior Debt Securities
of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision,
however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the unpaid
principal amount (or such specified amount) of the Senior Debt Securities of
such series shall have been so declared due and payable and before any judgment
or
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   14
 
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered,
the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all of the Senior Debt
Securities of such series and the principal of any and all Senior Debt
Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, if any, to the
extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and on
such principal at the rate borne by the Senior Debt Securities of such series to
the date of such payment or deposit) and the reasonable compensation,
disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee, and any and all defaults
under the Senior Debt Indenture, other than the nonpayment of such portion of
the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on Senior Debt Securities
of such series which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been
cured or shall have been waived in accordance with the Senior Debt Indenture or
provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made
therefor -- then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding,
by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall
extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right
consequent thereon. If any Event of Default with respect to the Company
specified in clause (v) or (vi) above occurs, the unpaid principal amount (or,
if the Senior Debt Securities of any series then Outstanding are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of each such series) and accrued interest on all Senior Debt
Securities of each series then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee
or any Securityholder. If the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under the Senior Debt Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any
other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in
every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be
restored respectively to their several positions and rights under the Senior
Debt Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee
and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
taken. Except with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii)
or (iii) above, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee by
the Company, a Paying Agent or any Securityholder.
 
The Senior Debt Indenture provides that, subject to the duty of the Trustee
during default to act with the required standard of care, the Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Senior
Debt Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of Senior Debt
Securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture, unless such holders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity.
 
No holder of any Senior Debt Securities of any series then Outstanding shall
have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Senior Debt
Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to the Senior Debt Indenture or the Senior Debt
Securities or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar official,
or for any other remedy under the Senior Debt Indenture or under the Senior Debt
Securities, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee
written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, and unless the holders
of not less than 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt
Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the
Senior Debt Indenture, however, the right of any holder of any Senior Debt
Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such
Senior Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Senior Debt Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such holder.
 
The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Debt Securities of any series then Outstanding shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to Senior Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that
(subject to certain exceptions) the Trustee shall have the
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   15
 
right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine
upon advice of counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the
action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. The holders of 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Debt Securities of any series then Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of
all of the Senior Debt Securities of such series waive any past default or Event
of Default and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest, if
any, on, or the principal of, the Senior Debt Securities of such series. Upon
any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Senior Debt
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights
under the Senior Debt Indenture, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default shall have been
waived as permitted, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of
the Senior Debt Securities and the Senior Debt Indenture be deemed to have been
cured and to be not continuing.
 
The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, with
respect to Senior Debt Securities of any series then Outstanding, mail to all
holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series, as the names and the addresses
of such holders appear upon the Senior Debt Securities register, notice of all
defaults known to the Trustee with respect to such series, unless such defaults
shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for
the purpose of these provisions being hereby defined to be the events specified
in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) of "-- Provisions
Applicable Solely to Senior Debt Securities -- Events of Default" above, not
including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the
giving of the written notice specified in said clause (iv) or (vii) but in the
case of any default of the character specified in said clause (iv) or (vii) no
such notice to Securityholders shall be given until at least 60 days after the
giving of written notice thereof to the Company pursuant to said clause (iv) or
(vii), as the case may be); provided, however, that, except in the case of
default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any of the
Senior Debt Securities, or in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund or
other purchase obligation, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Securityholders.
 
The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to the
fulfillment by the Company of all of its obligations under the Senior Debt
Indenture.
 
Limitation on Liens. The Company may not, nor may any Subsidiary, mortgage,
pledge, encumber or subject to any lien or security interest to secure any
obligation of the Company or any obligation of any Subsidiary (other than
obligations owing to the Company or a wholly-owned Subsidiary) any assets,
whether owned as of the date the Senior Debt Indenture was executed or
thereafter acquired, without effectively providing that the Senior Debt
Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such
obligation, unless, after given effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such
secured debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding secured Indebtedness
existing as of the date the Senior Debt Indenture was executed and any
extensions, renewals or refundings thereof that do not increase the principal
amount of Indebtedness so extended, renewed or refunded and excluding secured
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) set forth below)
would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Worth of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this restriction will not prevent the
Company or any Subsidiary: (a) from acquiring and retaining property subject to
mortgages, pledges, encumbrances, liens or security interests existing thereon
at the date of acquisition thereof, or from creating within one year of such
acquisition mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or liens upon property acquired by
it after the date of the Senior Debt Indenture, as security for purchase money
obligations incurred by it in connection with the acquisition of such property,
whether payable to the person from whom such property is acquired or otherwise;
(b) from mortgaging, pledging, encumbering or subjecting to any lien or security
interest Current Assets to secure Current Liabilities; (c) from extending,
renewing or refunding any Indebtedness secured by a mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance, lien or security interest on the same property theretofore subject
thereto, provided that the principal amount of such Indebtedness so extended,
renewed or refunded shall not be increased; or (d) from securing the payment of
workmen's compensation or insurance premiums or from making good faith pledges
or deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than contracts
for the payment of money) or leases, deposits to secure public or statutory
obligations, deposits to secure surety or
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   16
 
appeal bonds, pledges or deposits in connection with contracts made with or at
the request of the United States Government or any agency thereof, or pledges or
deposits for similar purposes in the ordinary course of business.
 
"Consolidated Net Worth" means, at any date, the sum of (i) the par value (or
value stated on the books of the Company) of the capital stock of all classes of
the Company (including preferred stock), plus (or minus in the case of a
deficit) (ii) the amount of the consolidated surplus, whether capital or earned,
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
"Current Assets" of any Person includes all assets of such Person which would be
classified as current assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
"Current Liabilities" of any Person includes all liabilities of such Person
which would be classified as current liabilities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary will enter into any transaction with any bank, insurance company or
other lender or investor, or to which any such lender or investor is a party,
providing for the leasing to the Company or a Subsidiary of any real property
(except a lease for a temporary period not to exceed three years by the end of
which it is intended that the use of such real property by the lessee will be
discontinued) which has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or
such Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any Person to whom funds have
been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such
real property unless either: (1) such transaction is the substantial equivalent
of a mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, lien or security interest which the Company
or any Subsidiary would have been permitted to create under the "Limitation on
Liens" covenant without equally and ratably securing the Senior Debt Securities,
or (2) the Company within 120 days after such transaction applied (and in any
such case the Company covenants that it will so apply) an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the real property leased pursuant
to such transaction or (ii) the fair value of the real property so leased at the
time of entering into such transaction (as determined by the Board of
Directors), to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company; provided that the
amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company shall be
reduced by: (a) the principal amount of any Senior Debt Securities (for this
purpose if the Senior Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, the principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of
that series shall be computed and adjusted as may be specified in the terms of
that series) delivered within 120 days after such sale to the Trustee for
retirement and cancellation and (b) the principal amount of Funded Debt, other
than Senior Debt Securities, voluntarily retired by the Company within 120 days
after such sale; provided that no retirement referred to in this clause (2) may
be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund
payment or any mandatory prepayment provision.
 
"Funded Debt" means Indebtedness for money borrowed which by its terms matures
at or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to a date more
than 12 months after the date of the creation of such Indebtedness.
 
PROVISION APPLICABLE SOLELY TO SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES
 
Prohibition on Incurrence of Senior Subordinated Debt. The Company will not
incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is or purports to be, pursuant to its
terms or the terms of any agreement relating thereto, senior in right of payment
to the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities and subordinate or junior in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, provided that no Indebtedness
of the Company shall be deemed to be subordinate to any other Indebtedness of
the Company solely by virtue of any such other Indebtedness being secured or
otherwise having the benefit of any lien or security interest.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE SOLELY TO SENIOR SUBORDINATED AND SUBORDINATED DEBT
SECURITIES
 
Events of Default. Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, an
Event of Default is defined under each of the Subordinated Indentures with
respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series issued under such Indenture
as being as one or more of the following events:
 
(i) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the
Subordinated Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
 
(ii) default in the payment of the principal of any of the Subordinated
Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable
either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or
 
(iii) default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund or other
purchase obligation with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series, as
and when such obligation shall become due and payable; or
 
(iv) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of
the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Subordinated
Securities of such series or in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to such
series continued for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Company by the Trustee by registered mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by
the holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Subordinated Securities of such series issued under the applicable Subordinated
Indenture then Outstanding; or
 
(v) without the consent of the Company a court having jurisdiction shall enter
an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or
without the consent of the Company a court having jurisdiction shall enter a
judgment, order or decree adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
enter an order for relief for reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or
applicable state insolvency law and the continuance or any such judgment, order
or decree is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
 
(vi) the Company shall institute proceedings for entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or for an adjudication of
insolvency, or shall consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it, or shall file a petition seeking, or seek or consent to
reorganization, arrangement composition or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or
any applicable state law, or shall consent to filing of such petition or to the
appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of substantially all of its
property, or the Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors as recognized under the Bankruptcy Code; or
 
(vii) default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of Indebtedness
for money borrowed by the Company or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument
under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company, whether such Indebtedness
exists on the date of such Subordinated Indenture or shall thereafter be
created, which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or
being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, or any default in payment of such Indebtedness
(after the expiration of any applicable grace periods and the presentation of
any debt instrument, if required), if the aggregate amount of all such
Indebtedness which has been so accelerated and with respect to which there has
been such a default in payment shall exceed $5,000,000, without each such
default and acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period of 30
days after there shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee by
registered mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25
percent in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such
series then Outstanding, a written notice specifying each such default and
requiring the Company to cause each such default and acceleration to be
rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"
under the applicable Subordinated Indenture; or
 
(viii) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Subordinated
Securities of such series under the applicable Subordinated Indenture.
 
If an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Securities of any series
then Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case,
unless the principal of all of the Subordinated Securities of
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   18
 
such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Subordinated Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the
unpaid principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities of such series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may
be specified in the terms of such series) of all the Subordinated Securities of
such series and the interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, anything in the applicable Subordinated Indenture
or in the Subordinated Securities of such series contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that, if
at any time after the unpaid principal amount (or such specified amount) of the
Subordinated Securities of such series shall have been so declared due and
payable and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if
any, upon all of the Subordinated Securities of such series and the principal of
any and all Subordinated Securities of such series which shall have become due
otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of
interest, if any, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law and on such principal at the rate borne by the Subordinated
Securities of such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the
reasonable compensation, disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee,
its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any and all defaults under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture, other than the nonpayment of such portion of the
principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on Subordinated Securities of
such series which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured
or shall have been waived in accordance with the applicable Subordinated
Indenture or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made
therefor -- then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series then Outstanding,
by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall
extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right
consequent thereon. If any Event of Default with respect to the Company
specified in clause (v) or (vi) above occurs, the unpaid principal amount (or,
if the Subordinated Securities of any series then Outstanding are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of each such series) and accrued interest on all Subordinated
Securities of each series then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee
or any Securityholder. If the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under the applicable Subordinated Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any
other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in
every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be
restored respectively to their several positions and rights under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the
Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been taken. Except with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) above, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the
Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent or any Securityholder.
 
Each of the Subordinated Indentures provides that, subject to the duty of the
Trustee during default to act with the required standard of care, the Trustee
will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such
Subordinated Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders or
Subordinated Securities issued under the such Subordinated Indenture, unless
such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity.
 
No holder of any Subordinated Securities of any series then Outstanding shall
have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the applicable
Subordinated Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or
at law upon or under or with respect to such Subordinated Indenture or the
Subordinated Securities issued under such Subordinated Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar official, or for any other
remedy under such Subordinated Indenture or thereunder, unless such holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as provided in such Subordinated Indenture, and unless the
holders of not less than 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Subordinated Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute such
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   19
 
action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under such Subordinated
Indenture and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the
applicable Subordinated Indenture, but subject to the subordination provisions
of the applicable Subordinated Indenture, the right of any holder of any
Subordinated Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if
any, on such Subordinated Security, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Subordinated Security, or, if applicable, to convert such
Subordinated Security as provided in the applicable Subordinated Indenture, or
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates or for the enforcement of any such right to convert shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
 
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated
Securities of any series then Outstanding shall have the right to direct the
time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to Subordinated Securities of such series; provided, however, that
(subject to certain exceptions) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine upon advice of counsel
that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed
would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any series then
Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Subordinated Securities
of such series waive any past default or Event of Default under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of
interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Subordinated Securities of such
series. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Subordinated Securities of such series shall be restored to their former
positions and rights under the applicable Subordinated Indenture, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of
Default shall have been waived as permitted, said default or Event of Default
shall for all purposes of the applicable Subordinated Securities and the
applicable Subordinated Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not
continuing.
 
The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, with
respect to Subordinated Securities of any series then Outstanding, mail to all
holders of Subordinated Securities of such series, as the names and the
addresses of such holders appear upon the applicable Subordinated Security
register, notice of all defaults known to the Trustee with respect to such
series, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such
notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of these provisions being hereby
defined to be the events specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii) and (viii) of " -- Provisions Applicable Solely to Senior Subordinated and
Subordinated Debt Securities -- Events of Default" above, not including periods
of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of the
written notice specified in said clause (iv) or (vii) but in the case of any
default of the character specified in said clause (iv) or (vii) no such notice
to Securityholders shall be given until at least 60 days after the giving of
written notice thereof to the Company pursuant to said clause (iv) or (vii), as
the case may be); provided, however, that, except in the case of default in the
payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any of the Subordinated
Securities, or in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund or other
purchase obligation, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice
if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of
such notice is in the best interests of the Securityholders.
 
The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to the
fulfillment by the Company of all of its obligations under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture.
 
Subordination. The Subordinated Securities will be subordinate and junior in
right to payment, to the extent set forth in the applicable Subordinated
Indenture, to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below for each of the
Subordinated Indentures) of the Company. If the Company should default in the
payment of any principal of or premium or interest on any Senior Indebtedness
when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed
for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon
written notice of such default to the Company by the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness or any trustee therefor and subject to
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   20
 
certain rights of the Company to dispute such default and subject to proper
notification of the Trustee, unless and until such default shall have been cured
or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash,
property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) will be made or agreed to be made
for principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the applicable
Subordinated Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase
or other acquisition of the applicable Subordinated Securities other than those
made in capital stock of the Company (or cash in lieu of fractional shares
thereof) pursuant to any conversion right of the Subordinated Securities or
otherwise made in capital stock of the Company.
 
"Senior Indebtedness" is defined in the Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture as
Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time except (a) any Indebtedness
of the Company that pursuant to its terms or the terms of any agreement relating
thereto or by operation of law is subordinate or junior in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness of the Company, provided that no Indebtedness of the
Company shall be deemed to be subordinate to any other Indebtedness of the
Company solely by virtue of any such other Indebtedness being secured or
otherwise having the benefit of any lien or security interest, (b) any
Indebtedness as to which, by the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing
the same, it is provided that such Indebtedness is not senior in right of
payment to the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities, (c) the Senior Subordinated
Debt Securities, (d) the Company's subordinated indebtedness existing on the
date of the Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture, (e) any Indebtedness of the
Company to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, (f) interest accruing after
the filing of a petition initiating certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
unless such interest is an allowed claim enforceable against the Company in a
proceeding under federal or state bankruptcy laws and (g) trade accounts
payable.
 
"Senior Indebtedness" is defined in the Subordinated Debt Indenture as
Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time except (a) any Indebtedness
as to which, by the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing the same, it
is provided that such Indebtedness is not senior in right of payment to the
Subordinated Debt Securities, (b) the Subordinated Debt Securities, (c) the
Company's subordinated indebtedness existing on the date of the Subordinated
Debt Indenture, (d) any Indebtedness of the Company to a wholly owned Subsidiary
of the Company, (e) interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating
certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings unless such interest is an allowed
claim enforceable against the Company in a proceeding under federal or state
bankruptcy laws and (f) trade accounts payable.
 
"Indebtedness" is defined in each Subordinated Indenture as, with respect to any
Person, (a)(i) the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on
indebtedness for money borrowed of such Person evidenced by bonds, notes,
debentures or similar obligations, including any guaranty by such person of any
indebtedness for money borrowed of any other Person, whether any such
indebtedness or guaranty is outstanding on the date of such Subordinated
Indenture or is thereafter created, assumed or incurred, (ii) the principal of
and premium and interest, if any, on indebtedness for money borrowed, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed by such Person in connection with the acquisition by it or
any of its subsidiaries of any other businesses, properties or other assets and
(iii) lease obligations which such Person capitalizes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board or such other generally accepted accounting
principles as may be from time to time in effect, (b) any other indebtedness of
such Person, including any indebtedness representing the deferred and unpaid
balance of the purchase price of any property or interest therein, including any
such balance that constitutes a trade account payable, and any guaranty,
endorsement or other contingent obligation of such Person in respect of any
indebtedness of another, which is outstanding on the date of such Subordinated
Indenture or is thereafter created, assumed or incurred by such Person and (c)
any amendments, modifications, refundings, renewals or extensions of any
indebtedness or obligation described as Indebtedness in clause (a) or (b) above.
 
If (i) without the consent of the Company a court having jurisdiction shall
enter (A) an order for relief with respect to the Company under the United
States federal bankruptcy laws, (B) a judgment, order or decree adjudging the
Company as bankrupt or insolvent or (C) an order for relief for reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under the
United States federal bankruptcy laws or state insolvency laws or (ii) the
Company shall institute proceedings for the entry of an order for relief with
respect to the Company under the United States federal bankruptcy laws or for an
adjudication of insolvency, or shall consent to the institution of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against it, or shall file a petition
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   21
 
seeking, or seek or consent to reorganization, arrangement, composition or
similar relief under the United States federal bankruptcy laws or any applicable
state law, or shall consent to the filing of such petition or to the appointment
of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official in respect of the Company or of substantially all of its property, or
the Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, then
all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any such proceedings) will first be paid in full before any
payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, is made
on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the
applicable Subordinated Securities. In such event, any payment or distribution
on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the
applicable Subordinated Securities, whether in cash, securities or other
property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided
for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is
subordinate, at least to the extent provided in the subordination provisions
with respect to the applicable Subordinated Securities, to the payment of all
Senior Indebtedness then outstanding and to any securities issued in respect
thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would
otherwise (but for the subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in
respect of the applicable Subordinated Securities will be paid or delivered
directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities
then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any
interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) has
been paid in full. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of
all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the holders of Subordinated
Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking
on a parity with the Subordinated Securities issued under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture, will be entitled to be repaid from the remaining assets
of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid
principal of or any premium or any interest on the Subordinated Securities
issued under the applicable Subordinated Indenture and such other obligations
before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or
otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or obligations of the
Company ranking junior to the Subordinated Securities issued under the
applicable Subordinated Indenture and such other obligations. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution on the Subordinated
Securities issued under the applicable Subordinated Indenture of any character,
whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the
Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent
provided in the subordination provisions with respect to the Subordinated
Securities issued under the applicable Subordinated Indenture, to the payment of
all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding and to any securities issued in respect
thereof under any such plan or reorganization or readjustment), shall be
received by the Trustee or any holder of any Subordinated Securities issued
under the applicable Subordinated Indenture in contravention of any of the terms
of the applicable Subordinated Indenture, such payment or distribution will be
received in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid over or delivered and
transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding in
accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application
to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent
necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In the event of the
failure of the Trustee or any holder to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is irrevocably
authorized to endorse or assign the same.
 
Each of the Subordinated Indentures will provide that Senior Indebtedness shall
not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have
received cash, securities or other property equal to the amount of such Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness, the holders of Subordinated Securities of each series shall be
subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any
further payments or distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until
the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Securities of such series shall
have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by such
holders, by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities or other property
which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness with respect to such Series, shall, as between the Company and its
creditors other than the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand,
and such holders, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on
account of such Senior Indebtedness, and not on account of the Subordinated
Securities of such series.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   22
 
By reason of such subordination, in the event of the insolvency of the Company,
holders of Senior Indebtedness and holders of other obligations of the Company
that are not subordinated to Senior Indebtedness may receive more, ratably, than
holders of the Subordinated Securities. Such subordination will not prevent the
occurrence of an Event of Default or limit the right of acceleration in respect
of the Subordinated Securities.
 
Conversion. Each of the Subordinated Indentures will provide that a series of
Subordinated Securities may be convertible into Common Stock (or cash in lieu
thereof). The following provisions will apply to Debt Securities that are
convertible Subordinated Securities unless otherwise provided in the Prospectus
Supplement for such Debt Securities.
 
The holder of any convertible Subordinated Securities will have the right
exercisable at any time prior to maturity, subject to prior redemption by the
Company, to convert such Subordinated Securities into shares of Common Stock at
the conversion price or conversion rate set forth in the Prospectus Supplement,
subject to adjustment. The holder of convertible Subordinated Securities may
convert any portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any integral
multiple thereof.
 
In certain events, the conversion price or conversion rate will be subject to
adjustment as set forth in the applicable Subordinated Indenture. Such events
include issuance of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the
Common Stock; subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications of the Common
Stock; redemption of the preferred share purchase rights associated with the
Common Stock; the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants
entitling the holders thereof (for a period not exceeding 45 days) to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then
current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to the
applicable Subordinated Indenture); and the distribution to substantially all
holders of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness, equity securities
(including equity interests in the Company's Subsidiaries) other than Common
Stock, or other assets (excluding cash dividends paid from surplus) or
subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). No
adjustment of the conversion price or conversion rate will be required unless an
adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in
such price or rate. The Company has been advised by its counsel that certain
adjustments in the conversion price or conversion rate in accordance with the
foregoing provisions may result in constructive distributions to either holders
of the Subordinated Securities issued under the applicable Subordinated
Indenture or holders of Common Stock which would be taxable pursuant to Treasury
Regulations issued under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
amount of any such taxable constructive distribution will be the fair market
value of the Common Stock that is treated as having been constructively
received, such value being determined as of the time the adjustment resulting in
the constructive distribution is made.
 
Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued upon conversion, but, in
lieu thereof, the Company will pay a cash adjustment based on the then current
market price for the Common Stock. Upon conversion, no adjustments will be made
for accrued interest or dividends, and therefore convertible Subordinated
Securities surrendered for conversion between the record date for an interest
payment and the interest payment date (except convertible Subordinated
Securities called for redemption on a redemption date during such period) must
be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest thereon which the
registered holder is to receive.
 
In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company (with certain
exceptions) or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all the property and assets of the Company, the holder of
convertible Subordinated Securities, after the consolidation, merger, sale,
lease, exchange or other disposition, will have the right to convert such
convertible Subordinated Securities into the kind and amount of securities, cash
and other property which the holder would have been entitled to receive upon or
in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, exchange or other
disposition, if the holder had held the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
such convertible Subordinated Securities issued under the applicable
Subordinated Indenture immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale,
lease, exchange or other disposition.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEES
 
Each of the Trustees is a depositary for funds of, makes loans to and performs
other services for the Company in the normal course of business.
 
In addition to serving as Trustee under the Senior Subordinated Indenture and
the Subordinated Indenture, Texas Commerce Bank also serves as Trustee under (i)
the Debenture Indenture (the "Debenture Indenture") dated as of June 15, 1992,
between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank, as trustee, and (ii) the Guarantees
of Notes of Subsidiaries Indenture (the "Guarantees Indenture") dated as of May
1, 1970, between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank, as trustee. Debt of the
Company issued pursuant to the Debenture Indenture and the Guarantees Indenture
constitutes Senior Indebtedness. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had
outstanding approximately $26 million principal amount of Senior Indebtedness
issued pursuant to the Debenture Indenture and approximately $34 million
principal amount of guarantees issued pursuant to the Guarantees Indenture.
 
Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture
Act"), a trustee under an indenture may be deemed to have a conflicting
interest, and may, under certain circumstances set forth in the Trust Indenture
Act, be required to resign as trustee under such indenture, if the securities
issued under such indenture are in default (as such term is defined in such
indenture) and the trustee is the trustee under another indenture under which
any other securities of the same obligor are outstanding, subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Trust Indenture Act. In such event, the obligor must
take prompt steps to have a successor trustee appointed in the manner provided
in the indenture from which the trustee has resigned.
 
Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act, Texas Commerce Bank, as trustee under the
Senior Subordinated Indenture, the Subordinated Indenture, the Debenture
Indenture and the Guarantees Indenture, could be required to resign as trustee
under one or more of such indentures should a default occur under one or more of
such indentures. In such event, the Company would be required to take prompt
steps to have a successor trustee or successor trustees appointed in the manner
provided in the applicable indenture or indentures.
 
                         DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
Under SCI's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), SCI
has the authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value
per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock may be divided into such
amounts and issued from time to time in one or more series as may be fixed and
determined by the Board of Directors. The relative rights and preferences among
each series of Preferred Stock shall be such as are provided in any resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series of
Preferred Stock (each such resolution, a "Directors' Resolution"). The Board of
Directors is authorized to fix and determine such variations and the relative
rights and preferences as between series as shall be stated in a Directors'
Resolution. The preemptive rights of shareholders of Preferred Stock to acquire
authorized but unissued shares, or to acquire treasury shares, is expressly
denied. There are no shares of any series of SCI Preferred Stock currently
outstanding. However, in connection with the adoption of the Company's
shareholders' rights plans the Company has designated and reserved for issuance
upon exercise of rights granted to its shareholders 600,000 shares of Series C
Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
 
The Preferred Stock may be issued or sold to such persons and for such
consideration as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors
and, whether or not convertible into Common Stock, need not first be offered to
the holders of Common Stock, and when issued such shares of Preferred Stock
shall be considered fully paid and non-assessable.
 
The following summaries of certain provisions of the Preferred Stock do not
purport to be complete and are subject, and are qualified in their entirety by
reference, with respect to any particular series of Preferred Stock, to the
description of the terms thereof included in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement and to the applicable
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   24
 
provisions of the Articles and the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws"). The
accompanying Prospectus Supplement with respect to any series of Preferred Stock
will set forth the following terms:
 
(a) The designation of such series;
 
(b) The number of shares constituting such series;
 
(c) The rate of dividends;
 
(d) The price at and the terms and conditions on which shares of such series may
be redeemed;
 
(e) The amount payable upon shares of such series in the event of involuntary
liquidation;
 
(f) The amount payable upon shares of each series in the event of voluntary
liquidation;
 
(g) Sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of such series;
 
(h) The terms and conditions on which shares of such series may be converted;
and
 
(i) Any special rights of the shares of such series (and the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement may state that any of the terms set forth herein is
inapplicable to such series).
 
DIVIDENDS
 
The Preferred Stock of each series will be entitled to receive dividends, when
and as declared by the Board of Directors, at the rate and on such other terms
and conditions as may be fixed for such series, in preference to dividends on
the Common Stock or on other shares of capital stock of the Company ranking
junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends ("Junior Stock").
 
DIVIDEND PREFERENCE
 
Subject to such further conditions or restrictions as may be imposed in any
Directors' Resolution, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Company will not declare or pay any dividend, in cash or stock or otherwise
(other than dividends payable in shares of Junior Stock), on any shares of
Junior Stock or make any distribution upon or purchase or redeem or otherwise
acquire for a valuable consideration any shares of Junior Stock (a) unless all
dividends for Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods will have been paid
or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment
and be in the process of payment, and the full dividend thereon for the current
dividend period will have been paid or declared, and (b) unless, as to each
series of the Preferred Stock for which a sinking fund will have been provided,
the Company will have retired the number of shares of Preferred Stock of such
series required to have been retired for the sinking fund or otherwise will have
met the obligations of said sinking fund.
 
REDEMPTION
 
Subject to such further conditions or restrictions as may be imposed in any
Directors' Resolution, the shares of any series of Preferred Stock will be
subject to redemption in whole or in part at the applicable redemption price as
provided for such series on the terms and conditions and upon notice as set
forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
Notice of any such redemption will be given to each holder of shares being
called, either personally or by mail, not less than 20 nor more than 50 days
before the date fixed for redemption. If mailed, such notice will be deemed to
be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the
shareholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer book of the
Company, with postage thereon prepaid.
 
If less than all outstanding shares of the series are to be redeemed, the shares
to be redeemed will be selected for redemption ratably or by lot in such manner
as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors. The notice of
redemption will set forth the designation of the series of which the shares to
be redeemed constitute a part, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption
price, the place at which the shareholders may obtain payment of the redemption
price upon the surrender of their respective share certificates and will include
a
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
statement with respect to the existence of any right of conversion with respect
to the shares to be redeemed and the period within which such right may be
exercised.
 
The Company may, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption of any shares of
Preferred Stock, deposit with any bank or trust company in Texas, or any bank or
trust company in the United States, duly appointed and acting as transfer agent
for the Company, as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem shares called for
redemption with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust
company to give or complete the notice of redemption thereof and to pay, on or
after the date fixed for such redemption, to the respective holders of the
shares as evidenced by a list of holders, the redemption price upon the
surrender of their respective share certificates. Thereafter, from and after the
date fixed for redemption, such shares will be redeemed and dividends thereon
will cease to accrue after such date fixed for redemption. Such deposit will be
deemed to constitute full payment of such shares to their holders. Thereafter,
such shares will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof
will cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares, and will have no
rights with respect thereto except the right to receive from the bank or trust
company payment of the redemption price of such shares without interest, upon
the surrender of their respective certificates therefor, and any right to
convert such shares which may exist. In case the holders of such shares will
not, within six years after such deposit, claim the amount deposited for
redemption thereof, such bank or trust company will upon demand pay over to the
Company the balance of such amounts so deposited to be held in trust in such
bank or trust company and such trust company thereupon will be relieved of all
responsibility to the holders thereof.
 
Any shares of Preferred Stock which are redeemed or purchased by the Company and
cancelled will be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares and
may be reissued as shares of another series.
 
VOTING
 
The holders of the Preferred Stock together with the holders of the Common
Stock, all voting as one class, will possess voting power for the election of
directors and for all other purposes, subject to such limitations as may be
imposed by law and by any provision of the Articles. In the exercise of its
voting power, the Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share
held.
 
SPECIAL DIRECTORS
 
Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on any series of Preferred
Stock are in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent as to such series to six
full dividends, there will be vested in the holders of shares of all outstanding
Preferred Stock, voting as one class and with one vote for each share, the right
to elect two directors of the Company. Such right of the holders of Preferred
Stock to vote for the election of two directors may be exercised at any annual
meeting or at any special meeting called for such purpose, or at any adjournment
thereof, until all arrearages and dividends on the outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock have been paid in full or declared and funds sufficient for the
payment thereof deposited in trust, and when so paid or provided for, then such
right will cease. So long as such right to vote continues, the Secretary of the
Company may call, and upon written request of the holders of record of ten per
cent or more of the outstanding Preferred Stock, addressed to the Secretary at
the principal office of the Company, will call a special meeting of the holders
of Preferred Stock for the election of such two directors. Such meeting will be
held within 50 days after delivery of such request to such Secretary, at the
place and upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of
meeting of its shareholders. If at any such meeting or any adjournment thereof
the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock then entitled to vote in such election are present or represented by
proxy, then, by vote of the holders of at least a majority of all such shares of
Preferred Stock present or represented in such meeting, the then authorized
number of directors of the Company will be increased by two and the holders of
such shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect such two additional
directors. Directors so elected will serve until the next annual meeting or
until their successors are elected and will qualify; provided, however, that
whenever all arrearages and dividends on all outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock have been paid or declared and funds sufficient for the payment thereof
deposited in trust, the term of the office of the persons so elected as
directors will forthwith terminate, and the number of the whole Board of
Directors of the Company will be reduced accordingly. In case of any vacancy
occurring among the directors so elected, the remaining director who has been so
elected may appoint a successor to hold office for the unexpired term of the
director whose place is
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
vacant. If both directors so elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock cease
to serve as directors before their term expires, the holders of Preferred Stock
then outstanding may, at a special meeting of such holders called as provided in
the Articles, elect successors to hold office for the unexpired terms of the
directors whose places are vacant. In any vote for directors as provided in the
Articles, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote.
 
APPROVAL OF CHANGES
 
The Company will not, without the approval (by vote at a meeting or by consent
in writing) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock and subject to the provisions in the Articles with respect to
certain additional supermajority voting requirements:
 
(i) Amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to the Articles or
Bylaws if such action would alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges
or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Preferred
Stock; or
 
(ii) Authorize or create shares of any class of stock having any preference or
priority as to dividends, assets or other characteristics superior to the
Preferred Stock, or authorize or create shares of stock of any class or any
bonds, indentures, notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable
for or having option or rights to purchase, any shares of stock having any such
preference or priority; or
 
(iii) Reclassify any Junior Stock into Preferred Stock or into shares having any
preference or priority as to dividends, assets or any other characteristics
superior to the Preferred Stock; or
 
(iv) Increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or
create a new class of shares having rights and preferences equal to the shares
of Preferred Stock.
 
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
 
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
Preferred Stock of each series shall be entitled to payment of such amount or
amounts in preference to any payment on Junior Stock as shall be provided in the
Directors' Resolution providing for the issuance of such shares of Preferred
Stock. In any such event, if the assets available for distribution shall be
insufficient to permit payment of the full preferential amount to all holders of
Preferred Stock, then distribution shall be made ratably among such holders
according to the amount due to each.
 
                      DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
 
The Company may issue warrants (which may be titled either "options" or
"warrants") for the purchase of Common Stock (the "Common Stock Warrants"). The
Common Stock Warrants may be issued independently or together with any
Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement and may be attached to or
separate from such Securities. Each series of Common Stock Warrants will be
issued under a separate warrant agreement (a "Warrant Agreement") to be entered
into between the Company and a bank or trust company, as Warrant Agent, all as
set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular issue of
offered Common Stock Warrants. The Warrant Agent will act solely as an agent of
the Company in connection with the Common Stock Warrant Certificates and will
not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any
holders of Common Stock Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Common
Stock Warrants. The form of Warrant Agreement, including the form of Common
Stock Warrant Certificate representing the Common Stock Warrants, is filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement to which this Prospectus pertains. The
following summaries of certain provisions of the form of Warrant Agreement and
Common Stock Warrant Certificate do not purport to be complete and are subject
to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of
the Warrant Agreement and the Common Stock Warrant Certificate.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   27
 
GENERAL
 
Reference is made to the accompanying Prospectus Supplement relating to the
Common Stock Warrants for the following terms of the Common Stock Warrants:
 
(i) the offering price;
 
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each such
Common Stock Warrant and the price at which such number of shares of Common
Stock may be purchased upon such exercise;
 
(iii) the date on which the right to exercise such Common Stock Warrants shall
commence and the date on which such right shall expire (the "Expiration Date");
and
 
(iv) any other terms of such Common Stock Warrants (and the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement may state that any of the terms set forth herein is
inapplicable to such series).
 
Common Stock Warrants for the purchase of Common Stock will be offered and
exercisable for U.S. dollars only and will be in registered form only.
 
Common Stock Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for new Common Stock Warrant
Certificates of different denominations, may (if in registered form) be
presented for registration or transfer, and may be exercised at the corporate
trust office of the Warrant Agent or any other office indicated in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prior to the exercise of any Common Stock
Warrants, holders of such Common Stock Warrants will not have any rights of
holders of the Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise, including the right
to receive payments of dividends, if any, on the Common Stock purchasable upon
such exercise or to exercise any applicable right to vote.
 
EXERCISE OF COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
 
Each Common Stock Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such
shares of Common Stock at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth
in, or calculable from, the Prospectus Supplement relating to the offered Common
Stock Warrants. After the close of business on the Expiration Date (or such
later date to which such Expiration Date may be extended by the Company)
unexercised Common Stock Warrants will become void.
 
Common Stock Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the Warrant Agent
payment as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement of the amount
required to purchase the Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise together
with certain information set forth on the reverse side of the Common Stock
Warrant Certificate. Common Stock Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised
upon receipt of payment of the exercise price, subject to the receipt, within
five business days, of the Common Stock Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Common Stock Warrants. Upon receipt of such payment and the Common Stock Warrant
Certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office
of the Warrant Agent or any other office indicated in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, the Company will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the
Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the Common
Stock Warrants represented by such Common Stock Warrant Certificate are
exercised, a new Common Stock Warrant Certificate will be issued for the
remaining amount of Common Stock Warrants.
 
AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO WARRANT AGREEMENT
 
The Warrant Agreement for a series of Common Stock Warrants may be amended or
supplemented without the consent of the holders of the Common Stock Warrants
issued thereunder to effect changes that are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Common Stock Warrants and that do not adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Common Stock Warrants.
 
COMMON STOCK WARRANT ADJUSTMENTS
 
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the exercise
price of, and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by, a Common Stock
Warrant are subject to adjustment in certain events,
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   28
 
including: (i) the issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the
Common Stock; (ii) subdivisions and combinations of the Common Stock; (iii) the
issuance to all holders of Common Stock of certain rights or warrants entitling
them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock within 45 days after the date
fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights
or warrants, at less than the current market price (as defined in the Warrant
Agreement for such series of Common Stock Warrants); and (iv) the distribution
to all holders of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets of the
Company (excluding certain cash dividends and distributions described below) or
rights or warrants (excluding those referred to above). In the event that the
Company shall distribute any rights or warrants to acquire capital stock
pursuant to clause (iv) above (the "Capital Stock Rights"), pursuant to which
separate certificates representing such Capital Stock Rights will be distributed
subsequent to the initial distribution of such Capital Stock Rights (whether or
not such distribution shall have occurred prior to the date of the issuance of a
series of Common Stock Warrants), such subsequent distribution shall be deemed
to be the distribution of such Capital Stock Rights; provided that the Company
may, in lieu of making any adjustment in the exercise price of, and the number
of shares of Common Stock covered by, a Common Stock Warrant upon a distribution
of separate certificates representing such Capital Stock Rights, make proper
provision so that each holder of such a Common Stock Warrant who exercises such
Common Stock Warrant (or any portion thereof) (a) before the record date for
such distribution of separate certificates shall be entitled to receive upon
such exercise shares of Common Stock issued with Capital Stock Rights and (b)
after such record date and prior to the expiration, redemption or termination of
such Capital Stock Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in
addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, the same
number of such Capital Stock Rights as would a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock that such Common Stock Warrant so exercised would have entitled the
holder thereof to acquire in accordance with the terms and provisions applicable
to the Capital Stock Rights if such Common Stock Warrant was exercised
immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. Common Stock owned
by or held for the account of the Company or any majority owned subsidiary shall
not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any adjustment required pursuant to
clause (iv) above.
 
No adjustment in the exercise price of, and the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by, a Common Stock Warrant will be made for regular quarterly or other
periodic or recurring cash dividends or distributions or for cash dividends or
distributions to the extent paid from retained earnings. No adjustment will be
required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the
exercise price then in effect; provided that any such adjustment not so made
will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and
provided further that any such adjustment not so made shall be made no later
than three years after the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment to
be made or carried forward. Except as stated above, the exercise price of, and
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by, a Common Stock Warrant will not
be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase
any of the foregoing.
 
In the case of (i) a reclassification or change of the Common Stock, (ii) a
consolidation or merger involving the Company or (iii) a sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, in each case as a result of which holders of the
Company's Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, other
property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such
Common Stock, the holders of the Common Stock Warrants then outstanding will be
entitled thereafter to convert such Common Stock Warrants into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities or property which they would have
received upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance had such Common Stock Warrants been exercised immediately prior to
such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

                  DESCRIPTION OF THE LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
The following is a summary of certain terms and provisions of the LLC Preferred
Securities offered hereby. Reference is made to the LLC Articles, the
Regulations of SCI Finance (the "LLC Regulations") and the amendment to the LLC
Regulations adopted or to be adopted by the Manager establishing the rights,
preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions relating to the LLC
Preferred Securities (the "Declaration"). The summaries set forth below and in
the accompanying Prospectus Supplement address the material terms of the LLC
Preferred Securities of any particular series but do not purport to be complete
and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the LLC
Articles, the LLC Regulations and the Declaration. Capitalized terms used in the
summaries below and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings
set forth in the LLC Articles, the LLC Regulations and the Declaration.
 
GENERAL
 
SCI Finance is authorized to issue up to 7,000,000 LLC Preferred Shares, in one
or more series or classes, with such dividend rights, liquidation preferences
per share, redemption provisions, voting rights, conversion or exchange rights
and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions as are
set forth in the LLC Articles, the LLC Regulations and the Declaration adopted
or to be adopted by the Manager. All of the LLC Preferred Shares which may be
issued in one or more series or classes, including the LLC Preferred Securities,
will rank pari passu with each other with respect to participation in profits
and assets. The LLC Articles and the LLC Regulations as currently in effect do
not permit the issuance of any preference interests ranking, as to participation
in the profits or the assets of SCI Finance, senior to the LLC Preferred Shares.
 
Reference is made to the accompanying Prospectus Supplement relating to the LLC
Preferred Securities for the following terms of the LLC Preferred Securities:
 
(a) title;
 
(b) the dividend terms (when dividends will accrue and be payable);
 
(c) the optional redemption provisions and the Redemption Price;
 
(d) the liquidation preference per LLC Preferred Security;
 
(e) the conversion rights for, and conversion price per share of, SCI Common
Stock;
 
(f) certain provisions relating to Non-Stock or Common Stock Fundamental Changes
(as defined below);
 
(g) the initial Reference Market Price (as defined below);
 
(h) book entry provisions, if other than as set forth below; and
 
(i) any other terms of the series (and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement
may state that any of the terms set forth herein is inapplicable to such
series).
 
DIVIDENDS
 
Cumulative dividends on the LLC Preferred Securities will accrue and be payable
as set forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement, when, as and if declared
by SCI Finance, except as otherwise described below.
 
The annual dividend payable on each LLC Preferred Security will be fixed as set
forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The amount of dividends is
computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year and, for any
period shorter than a full monthly dividend period, will be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. Payment of dividends
generally is limited to the amount of funds held by SCI Finance and legally
available therefor.
 
Dividends declared on the LLC Preferred Securities are payable to the record
holders thereof as they appear on the register for the LLC Preferred Securities
on the record date, which will be one Business Day prior to the relevant payment
date. In the event that any date on which dividends are payable on the LLC
Preferred
 
                                       28

Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the dividend payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and
without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that,
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on such date. The term "Business Day" shall mean any
day other than a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are
authorized or required by law to close.
 
Dividends on the LLC Preferred Securities of any series will be cumulative
(whether or not declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other
funds legally available for the payment of dividends). Dividends on the LLC
Preferred Securities must be declared by SCI Finance, by action of the Manager,
in any calendar year or portion thereof to the extent that the Manager
reasonably anticipates that at the time of payment SCI Finance will have, and
must be paid by SCI Finance to the extent that at the time of proposed payment
SCI Finance has, (x) funds legally available for the payment of such dividends
and (y) cash on hand sufficient to permit such payments. It is anticipated that
SCI Finance's earnings will result almost exclusively from payments under the
Loans of proceeds from the sale of the LLC Preferred Securities and the issuance
of LLC Common Shares (as described under "-- Description of the Loans"). SCI
Limited will have the right to extend interest payments on the Loans for up to
60 monthly interest payment periods over the term of the Loans. Interest shall
accrue on and be payable in respect of any dividend payment on the LLC Preferred
Securities which is in arrears at the interest rate payable in respect of the
Loans to the extent permitted by applicable law.
 
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SCI FINANCE
 
If dividends have not been paid in full on the LLC Preferred Securities, SCI
Finance may not:
 
(i) pay, or declare and set aside for payment, any dividends on any other LLC
Preferred Shares ranking pari passu with the LLC Preferred Securities as regards
participation in profits of SCI Finance ("SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares"),
unless the amount of any dividends declared on any SCI Finance Dividend Parity
Shares is paid on SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares and the LLC Preferred
Securities on a pro rata basis on the date such dividends are paid on such SCI
Finance Dividend Parity Shares, so that
 
     (x)(a) the aggregate amount of dividends paid on the LLC Preferred
     Securities bears the same ratio to (b) the aggregate amount of dividends
     paid on such SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares as
 
     (y)(a) the aggregate amount of all accumulated arrears of unpaid dividends
     in respect of the LLC Preferred Securities bears to (b) the aggregate
     amount of all accumulated arrears of unpaid dividends in respect of such
     SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares;
 
(ii) pay, or declare and set aside for payment, any dividends on any interests
in SCI Finance ranking junior to the LLC Preferred Securities as to dividends
("SCI Finance Dividend Junior Shares"); or
 
(iii) call for redemption or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any SCI
Finance Dividend Parity Shares or SCI Finance Dividend Junior Shares or any LLC
Preferred Securities other than (x) the redemption of all outstanding LLC
Preferred Securities at the Redemption Price (as defined below), (y) pursuant to
a pro rata redemption of the LLC Preferred Securities at the Redemption Price or
(z) pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all
holders of the LLC Preferred Securities, it being understood that this provision
shall not limit the rights of holders of LLC Preferred Securities to exercise
their conversion rights
 
until, in each case, such time as all accumulated arrears of unpaid dividends
(whether or not declared) on the LLC Preferred Securities shall have been paid
in full for all dividend periods terminating on or prior to, in the case of
clauses (i) and (ii), such payment, and in the case of clause (iii), the date of
such call, redemption, purchase or acquisition. As of the date of this
Prospectus, SCI Finance has no SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares outstanding
and has no plans to issue such shares.
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   31
 
MANDATORY REDEMPTION
 
The proceeds from any prepayment or repayment of principal on the Loans to SCI
Limited of proceeds from the issuance and sale of LLC Preferred Securities and
LLC Common Shares must be applied to redeem the LLC Preferred Securities at the
Redemption Price upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice in writing
by SCI Finance to the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities except at final
maturity of the Loans, in which case the redemption of LLC Preferred Securities
will occur as soon as practicable thereafter.
 
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
 
The LLC Preferred Securities are redeemable, at the option of SCI Finance
subject to the prior consent of the Manager, in whole or in part from time to
time, on or after the date and subject to the terms set forth in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice in writing by SCI Finance to the holders of LLC Preferred Securities, at
the prices set forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement (the "Redemption
Price"), in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not
declared) to the date fixed for redemption.
 
In the event that fewer than all the outstanding LLC Preferred Securities are to
be redeemed, the LLC Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be selected as
described under "-- Book-Entry Issuance; the Depository Trust Company" below,
pro rata as nearly as practicable or by lot, or by such other method as the
Paying and Conversion Agent may determine to be fair and appropriate. In the
event that any monthly dividend payable on the LLC Preferred Securities is in
arrears, LLC Preferred Securities may not be redeemed unless by conversion of
LLC Preferred Securities into shares of SCI Common Stock, and neither SCI nor
SCI Finance nor any other subsidiary of SCI may purchase or acquire any of such
shares otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same
terms to all holders of record of the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
If SCI Finance gives a notice of redemption in respect of LLC Preferred
Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York time, on the redemption date, SCI
Finance will irrevocably deposit with the Paying and Conversion Agent or the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), as the case may be, funds sufficient to pay
the Redemption Price and will give the Paying and Conversion Agent or DTC, as
the case may be, irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the holders thereof. If notice of redemption shall have been given and
funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of
holders of LLC Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except
the right of the holders of such shares to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest, and such shares will cease to be outstanding. In the event
that any date on which any payment in respect of the redemption of LLC Preferred
Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable
on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day
(and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force
and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption
Price in respect of LLC Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused
and not paid either by SCI Finance or by SCI pursuant to the Guarantee (as
defined below), dividends on such shares will continue to accrue, at the then-
applicable rate, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in
which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for
redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.
 
Subject to the foregoing, SCI or its subsidiaries may at any time and from time
to time purchase outstanding LLC Preferred Securities by tender, in the open
market or by private agreement.
 
TAX EVENT REDEMPTION
 
If a Tax Event (as defined below) shall occur and be continuing, the LLC
Preferred Securities will be subject to redemption, at the option of SCI
Finance, in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice in writing by the Company to the holders of such LLC Preferred
Securities, such notice to be given within 90 days following the occurrence of
such Tax Event at a redemption price or prices set forth in the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement.
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   32
 
"Tax Event" means, with respect to any LLC Preferred Securities, that SCI shall
have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that, on or after the date of the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement relating to such LLC Preferred Securities, as
a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective
change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment
to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or
regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any
judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any official interpretation
or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or
regulations that differs from the generally accepted position or (d) any action
taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or
change is enacted, promulgated, issued or effective or which interpretation or
pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on
or after the date of such accompanying Prospectus Supplement, there is more than
an insubstantial risk that (i) SCI Finance is subject to federal income tax with
respect to interest accrued or received on the Loans or (ii) SCI Finance is
subject to liability for more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other
governmental charges.
 
LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION
 
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of SCI Finance, the holders of LLC Preferred Securities at the time
outstanding will be entitled to receive out of the assets of SCI Finance legally
available for distribution to shareholders, before any distribution of assets is
made to holders of the LLC Common Shares or any other class of interests in SCI
Finance ranking junior to the LLC Preferred Securities as regards participation
in assets of SCI Finance, but together with the holders of every other series of
LLC Preferred Shares outstanding, if any, ranking pari passu with the LLC
Preferred Securities as regards participation in the assets of SCI Finance ("SCI
Finance Liquidation Parity Shares"), an amount equal, in the case of the holders
of the LLC Preferred Securities, to the aggregate of the liquidation preference
per LLC Preferred Security set forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement
and all accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date
of payment (the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such liquidation, the
Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because SCI Finance has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution and the aggregate maximum liquidation distributions on SCI Finance
Liquidation Parity Shares, then the amounts payable by SCI Finance on the LLC
Preferred Securities and on such SCI Finance Liquidation Parity Shares shall be
paid on a pro rata basis, so that
 
(i)(x) the aggregate amount paid in respect of the Liquidation Distribution
bears the same ratio to (y) the aggregate amount paid as liquidation
distributions (including accrued and unpaid dividends) on SCI Finance
Liquidation Parity Shares as
 
(ii)(x) the aggregate Liquidation Distribution bears to (y) the aggregate
liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends) on SCI Finance
Liquidation Parity Shares.
 
Pursuant to the LLC Regulations, SCI Finance will be considered to have
commenced voluntary wind-up and dissolution automatically (i) when the period
fixed for the duration of SCI Finance expires, (ii) if the holders of the LLC
Common Shares pass a resolution requiring SCI Finance to be wound up and
dissolved, (iii) upon the bankruptcy, resignation, withdrawal, expulsion,
termination, cessation or dissolution of SCI or the Manager (if other than SCI),
(iv) upon the happening of any event that would cause a holder of LLC Common
Shares to cease to be a holder thereof or (v) if SCI transfers any LLC Common
Shares or if all of the LLC Common Shares are redeemed, repurchased or cancelled
by SCI Finance.
 
VOTING RIGHTS
 
Except as provided below and under "-- Description of the
Guarantee -- Amendments and Assignments" and "-- Description of the
Loans -- Miscellaneous," the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities will have
no voting rights.
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   33
 
If (i) SCI Finance fails to pay dividends in full on the LLC Preferred
Securities (whether or not there are funds legally available therefor) for more
than 60 consecutive monthly dividend periods, (ii) an Event of Default (as
defined in the Loan Agreement relating to the Loans) occurs and is continuing on
the Loans or (iii) SCI is in default under any of its payment or other
obligations under the Payment, Guarantee and Conversion Agreement entered into
by the Company for the benefit of each holder of LLC Securities (the
"Guarantee"), then the holders of outstanding LLC Preferred Securities, together
with the holders of any other series of LLC Preferred Shares having the right to
vote for the appointment of a trustee in such event, acting as a single class,
will be entitled, by resolution passed by the holders of a majority in
liquidation preference (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends per share) of such
shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of such holders
convened for such purpose (or by written consent), to appoint and authorize a
trustee to enforce SCI Finance's rights as a creditor under the Loans against
SCI Limited and SCI (including the acceleration of principal and accrued
interest on the Loans), enforce the obligations undertaken by SCI under the
Guarantee and the Liability Assumption Agreement (as defined below) and declare
and pay dividends on the LLC Preferred Securities. For purposes of determining
whether SCI Finance has failed to pay dividends in full for more than 60
consecutive monthly dividend periods, dividends shall be deemed to remain in
arrears, notwithstanding any payments in respect thereof, until full cumulative
dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid with respect to
all monthly dividend periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of
such full cumulative dividends. Not later than 45 days after such entitlement
arises, the Manager will convene a meeting for the above purposes. If the
Manager fails to convene such meeting within such 45-day period, the holders of
10% in liquidation preference (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends per share)
of the outstanding LLC Preferred Securities and such other LLC Preferred Shares
will be entitled to convene such meeting. The provisions of the LLC Regulations
regarding the convening and conduct of meetings will apply with respect to any
such meeting. Any trustee so appointed shall vacate office immediately with
respect to the LLC Preferred Securities, if SCI Finance (or SCI pursuant to the
Guarantee) shall have paid in full all accrued and unpaid dividends on the LLC
Preferred Securities or such default or breach by SCI shall have been cured.
 
If any resolution is presented to the members of SCI Finance providing for, or
the Manager otherwise proposes to effect (it being understood that the automatic
dissolution and liquidation events described in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v)
under "-- Liquidation Distribution" above will not be deemed to be a proposal by
the Manager, and are not subject to the approval procedures described in this
paragraph), (x) any amendment of the LLC Articles, the LLC Regulations, the
Declaration or other action that adversely varies or abrogates the rights,
preferences or privileges of the LLC Preferred Securities (including, without
limitation, the authorization or issuance of any interests in SCI Finance
ranking, as to participation in the profits or assets of SCI Finance, senior to
the LLC Preferred Securities, or the issuance of any debt by SCI Finance), (y)
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of SCI Finance or (z) the
modification of the provisions of the LLC Articles and the LLC Regulations which
absolutely prohibit transfers of LLC Common Shares, then the holders of
outstanding LLC Preferred Shares of all series (and, in the case of a resolution
described in clause (x) above which would equally adversely affect the rights,
preferences or privileges of any SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares or any SCI
Finance Liquidation Parity Shares, such SCI Finance Dividend Parity Shares or
such SCI Finance Liquidation Parity Shares, as the case may be, or, in the case
of any resolution described in clause (y) or (z) above, all SCI Finance
Liquidation Parity Shares) will be entitled to vote together as a class on such
resolution or action of the Manager (but not on any other resolution or action),
and such resolution or action shall not be effective except with the approval of
the holders of 66 2/3% in liquidation preference (plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends) of such outstanding shares; provided, however, that no such approval
or ratification shall be required if the liquidation, dissolution and winding up
of SCI Finance is proposed or initiated upon the initiation of proceedings, or
after proceedings have been initiated, for the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of SCI or the Manager (if other than SCI).
 
No vote or consent of the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities will be
required for SCI Finance to redeem and cancel LLC Preferred Securities in
accordance with the LLC Regulations and the Declaration.
 
The rights attached to the LLC Preferred Securities will be deemed not to be
varied by the creation or issue of, and no vote will be required for the
creation of, any further series of LLC Preferred Shares or any other interests
in SCI Finance ranking as regards participation in the profits or assets of SCI
Finance pari passu with or junior to the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   34
 
Any required approval of holders of LLC Preferred Securities may be given at a
meeting of such holders convened for such purpose, at a general meeting of
shareholders of SCI Finance or pursuant to written consent. SCI Finance will
cause a notice of any meeting at which holders of the LLC Preferred Securities
are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of
such holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each holder of record of the LLC
Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth
(i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken,
(ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on
which such holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written
consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or written
consents.
 
Notwithstanding that holders of LLC Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or
consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the LLC Preferred
Securities and such other LLC Preferred Shares entitled to vote or consent with
such LLC Preferred Securities as a single class outstanding at such time that
are owned by SCI or any entity owned 50% or more by SCI, either directly or
indirectly, shall not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for the purposes
of such vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding.
 
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus Supplement, the holders of the
LLC Preferred Securities will have the conversion rights as set forth below:
 
Each LLC Preferred Security will be convertible at any time at the option of the
holder thereof into such number of whole shares of SCI Common Stock as is equal
to the per share liquidation preference of the LLC Preferred Securities
surrendered for conversion divided by the initial conversion price per share of
SCI Common Stock set forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement, subject to
adjustment as described below. LLC Preferred Securities called for redemption
will not be convertible after the close of business on the second Business Day
preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless SCI Finance defaults in payment
of the applicable Redemption Price or SCI defaults in its obligation to deliver
SCI Common Stock in exchange for shares of LLC Preferred Securities previously
surrendered for conversion. No fractional shares of SCI Common Stock will be
issued as a result of conversion, but in lieu thereof, in the sole discretion of
SCI, either (i) such fractional interest will be rounded upon the next whole
share or (ii) an appropriate amount will be paid in cash by SCI.
 
The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment (under formulae set forth
in the Declaration) in certain events, including: (i) the issuance of SCI Common
Stock as a dividend or distribution on SCI Common Stock; (ii) certain
subdivisions and combinations of the SCI Common Stock; (iii) the issuance to all
holders of SCI Common Stock of certain rights or warrants to purchase SCI Common
Stock; (iv) the distribution to all holders of SCI Common Stock of (A) shares of
capital stock of SCI (other than SCI Common Stock), (B) evidences of
indebtedness of SCI and/or (C) other assets (including securities, but excluding
any rights or warrants referred to in clause (iii) above, any dividends or
distributions in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
SCI, any dividends payable solely in cash that may from time to time be fixed by
the Board of Directors of SCI and any dividends or distributions referred to in
clause (i) above); (v) distributions consisting of cash, excluding (a) any cash
dividends on the SCI Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash
dividends per share of SCI Common Stock in any consecutive 12-month period do
not exceed the greater of (x) the amount per share of SCI Common Stock of the
cash dividends paid on the SCI Common Stock in the immediately preceding
12-month period, to the extent that such dividends for the immediately preceding
12-month period did not require an adjustment of the conversion price pursuant
to this clause (v) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the
SCI Common Stock), and (y) 15% of the average of the daily Closing Price (as
defined in the Declaration) of the SCI Common Stock for the ten consecutive
Trading Days (as defined in the Declaration) immediately prior to the date of
declaration of such dividend, and (b) any dividend or distribution in connection
with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of SCI or a redemption of any
rights issued under a rights agreement (provided, however that no adjustment
shall be made pursuant to this clause (v) if such distribution would otherwise
constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined below) and be reflected in a
resulting adjustment described below); and (vi) payment in respect of a tender
or exchange offer by SCI or any subsidiary of SCI for SCI Common Stock to the
extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in such
payment per share of SCI Common Stock exceeds (by more than 10%, with any
smaller excess being disregarded in computing the adjustment provided hereby)
the first
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   35
 
reported sale price per share of SCI Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time (as defined in the Declaration) for such tender
or exchange offer. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in
clause (v) above as a result of a distribution which is a dividend described in
subclause (a) of clause (v) above, such adjustment would be based upon the
amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the dividend permitted
to be excluded pursuant to such subclause (a) of clause (v). If an adjustment is
required to be made as set forth in clause (v) above as a result of a
distribution which is not such a dividend, such adjustment would be based upon
the full amount of such distribution. If an adjustment is required to be made as
set forth in clause (vi) above, such adjustment would be calculated based upon
the amount by which the aggregate consideration paid for SCI Common Stock
acquired in the tender or exchange offer exceeds the value of such shares based
on the first reported sale price of the SCI Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time. In lieu of making such a conversion price
adjustment in the case of certain dividends or distributions, SCI may provide
that upon the conversion of LLC Preferred Securities the holder converting such
LLC Preferred Securities will receive, in addition to the shares of SCI Common
Stock of which such holder is entitled, the cash, securities or other property
which such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to
the record date for such dividend or distribution, converted its LLC Preferred
Securities into SCI Common Stock.
 
SCI Finance from time to time may, to the extent permitted by law and with the
consent of the Manager, reduce the conversion price by any amount for any period
of at least 20 Business Days, in which case SCI Finance shall give at least 15
days' notice of such reduction to the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities.
SCI Finance may, at its option and with the consent of the Manager, make such
reduction in the conversion price, in addition to those set forth above, as SCI
Finance deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of SCI
Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to
acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for tax purposes or for any
other reasons.
 
In the event that SCI shall be a party to any transaction or series of
transactions constituting a Fundamental Change, including, without limitation,
(i) any recapitalization or reclassification of the SCI Common Stock (other than
a change in par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the SCI
Common Stock); (ii) any consolidation or merger of SCI with or into another
corporation as a result of which holders of SCI Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect
to or in exchange for the SCI Common Stock (other than a merger which does not
result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of
outstanding shares of SCI Common Stock); (iii) any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of SCI; or (iv) any compulsory share exchange,
pursuant to any of which holders of SCI Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive other securities, cash or other property, then appropriate provision
shall be made so that the holder of each LLC Preferred Security then outstanding
shall have the right thereafter to convert such security only into (x) if any
such transaction constitutes a Non-Stock Fundamental Change (as defined below),
the kind and amount of the securities, cash or other property that would have
been receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of
SCI Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such LLC Preferred Security
immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, after giving effect to any adjustment
in the conversion price in accordance with clause (i) of the following
paragraph, and (y) if any such transaction constitutes a Common Stock
Fundamental Change (as defined below), common stock of the kind received by
holders of SCI Common Stock as a result of such Common Stock Fundamental Change
in an amount determined in accordance with clause (ii) of the following
paragraph. The company formed by such consolidation or resulting from such
merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires the SCI Common Stock, as
the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of
incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right. Such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall
provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of
such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document,
shall be as nearly equivalent as practical to the relevant adjustments provided
for in the preceding paragraphs and in this paragraph.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   36
 
Notwithstanding any other provision in the preceding paragraphs, if any
Fundamental Change (as defined below) occurs, the conversion price in effect
will be adjusted immediately after that Fundamental Change as follows:
 
(i) in the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change, the conversion price per
share of SCI Common Stock immediately following such Non-Stock Fundamental
Change will be the lower of (A) the conversion price in effect immediately prior
to such Non-Stock Fundamental Change, but after giving effect to any other prior
adjustments effected pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, and (B) the result
obtained by multiplying the greater of the Applicable Price (as defined below)
or the then applicable Reference Market Price (as defined below) by a fraction
of which the numerator will be the liquidation preference of the LLC Preference
Securities as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and the
denominator of which will be the then current Redemption Price per LLC Preferred
Security (or, if such Redemption Price is to be determined prior to the date on
which the LLC Preferred Securities may first be called for redemption, the
prices set forth in the Prospectus Settlement); and
 
(ii) in the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change, the conversion price per
share of SCI Common Stock immediately following the Common Stock Fundamental
Change will be the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Common
Stock Fundamental Change, but after giving effect to any other prior adjustments
effected pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Purchaser Stock Price (as defined below) and the
denominator of which is the Applicable Price; provided, however, that in the
event of a Common Stock Fundamental Change in which (A) 100% of the value of the
consideration received by a holder of SCI Common Stock is common stock of the
successor, acquiror or other third party (and cash, if any, paid with respect to
any fractional interests in that common stock resulting from the Common Stock
Fundamental Change) and (B) all of the SCI Common Stock shall have been
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, common stock of the successor,
acquiror or other third party, the conversion price per share of SCI Common
Stock immediately following the Common Stock Fundamental Change shall be the
conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Common Stock Fundamental
Change multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1) and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of common stock of the successor,
acquiror, or other third party received by a holder of one share of SCI Common
Stock as a result of the Common Stock Fundamental Change.
 
Depending upon whether the Fundamental Change is a Non-Stock Fundamental Change
or Common Stock Fundamental Change, a holder may receive significantly different
consideration upon conversion. In the event of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change,
the holder has the right to convert LLC Preferred Securities into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including
cash), except as otherwise provided above, as is determined by the number of
shares of SCI Common Stock receivable upon conversion at the conversion price as
adjusted in accordance with clause (i) of the preceding paragraph. However, in
the event of a Common Stock Fundamental Change in which less than 100% of the
value of the consideration received by a holder of SCI Common Stock is common
stock of the successor, acquiror or other third party, a holder of a LLC
Preferred Security who converts such share following the Common Stock
Fundamental Change will receive consideration in the form of such common stock
only, whereas a holder who converted such share prior to the Common Stock
Fundamental Change will have received consideration in the form of such common
stock as well as any other securities or assets (which may include cash)
issuable upon conversion of such LLC Preferred Security immediately prior to
such Common Stock Fundamental Change.
 
The term "Applicable Price" means (i) in the event of a Non-Stock Fundamental
Change in which the holders of SCI Common Stock receive only cash, the amount of
cash receivable by a holder of one share of SCI Common Stock and (ii) in the
event of any other Non-Stock Fundamental Change or any Common Stock Fundamental
Change, the average of the reported last sale price for one share of the SCI
Common Stock (determined as provided in the Declaration) during the ten Trading
Days immediately prior to the record date for the determination of the holders
of SCI Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities, property or other
assets in connection with such Non-Stock Fundamental Change or Common Stock
Fundamental Change or, if there is no such record date, prior to the date on
which the holders of the SCI Common Stock will have the right to receive such
cash, securities, property or other assets.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   37
 
The term "Common Stock Fundamental Change" means any Fundamental Change in which
more than 50% of the value (as determined in good faith by SCI's Board of
Directors) of the consideration received by holders of SCI Common Stock pursuant
to such transaction consists of common stock that, for the ten consecutive
Trading Days immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, has been admitted for
listing or admitted for listing subject to notice of issuance on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market; provided, however,
that a Fundamental Change will not be a Common Stock Fundamental Change unless
either (i) SCI continues to exist after the occurrence of such Fundamental
Change and the outstanding LLC Preferred Securities continue to exist as
outstanding LLC Preferred Securities, or (ii) the outstanding LLC Preferred
Securities continue to exist as LLC Preferred Securities and are convertible
into common stock of the successor to SCI.
 
The term "Fundamental Change" means the occurrence of any transaction or event
or series of transactions or events pursuant to which all or substantially all
of the SCI Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for or
constitutes solely the right to receive cash, securities, property or other
assets (whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer,
consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or
otherwise); provided, however, in the case of a plan involving more than one
such transaction or event, for purposes of adjustment of the conversion price,
such Fundamental Change will be deemed to have occurred when substantially all
of the SCI Common Stock received in such transaction has been exchanged for,
converted into, or acquired for or constitutes solely the right to receive cash,
securities, property or other assets but the adjustment shall be based upon the
consideration that the holders of SCI Common Stock received in the transaction
or event as a result of which more than 50% of the SCI Common Stock shall have
been exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or shall constitute solely
the right to receive such cash, securities, properties or other assets; and
provided further, that such term does not include (i) any transaction or event
in which SCI and/or any of its subsidiaries are the issuers of all the cash,
securities, property or other assets exchanged, acquired or otherwise issued in
the transaction or event, or (ii) any transaction or event in which the holders
of SCI Common Stock receive securities of an issuer other than SCI if,
immediately following such transaction or event, holders of SCI Common Stock
hold a majority of the securities having the power to vote normally in the
election of directors of such other issuer outstanding immediately following
such transaction or other event.
 
The term "Non-Stock Fundamental Change" means any Fundamental Change other than
a Common Stock Fundamental Change.
 
The term "Purchaser Stock Price" means, with respect to any Common Stock
Fundamental Change, the average of the reported last sale prices for one share
of the common stock received by holders of SCI Common Stock in such Common Stock
Fundamental Change during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the record
date for the determination of the holders of SCI Common Stock entitled to
receive such common stock or, if there is no such record date, prior to the date
upon which the holders of SCI Common Stock shall have the right to receive the
common stock.
 
The term "Reference Market Price" will initially mean the price set forth in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement (which unless otherwise specified in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement will be 66 2/3% of the last reported sale
price for SCI Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of such
Prospectus Supplement) and, in the event of any adjustment to the conversion
price other than as a result of a Fundamental Change, the Reference Market Price
will also be adjusted so that the ratio of the Reference Market Price to the
conversion price after giving effect to any adjustment will always be the same
as the ratio of the initial Reference Market Price to the initial conversion
price of the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
No adjustment in the conversion price will be required unless the adjustment
would require a change of at least 1% in the conversion price then in effect;
provided, however, that any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
 
The holders of LLC Preferred Securities at the close of the business on a
dividend payment record date will be entitled to receive the dividend payment on
those shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the
subsequent conversion thereof or SCI Finance's default in payment of the
dividend due on that dividend payment date. A holder of LLC Preferred Securities
on a dividend payment record date who (or
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   38
 
whose transferee) tenders any shares for conversion on a dividend payment date
will receive the dividend payable by SCI Finance on LLC Preferred Securities on
that date.
 
BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE; THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY
 
DTC will act only as securities depository for the LLC Preferred Securities. The
LLC Preferred Securities will be issued as fully-registered in the name of Cede
& Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One or more fully-registered global LLC
Preferred Security certificates will be issued, representing in the aggregate
the total number of LLC Preferred Securities, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC may act as securities depository for any of the other Securities; if it does
so, a description of the applicable book-entry procedures will be set forth in
the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law,
a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations ("Direct Participants").
DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others
such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either
directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC
and its Participants are on file with the Commission.
 
Purchases of LLC Preferred Securities under the DTC system must be made by or
through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the LLC Preferred
Securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of
each LLC Preferred Security ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on
the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not
receive written confirmations from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners
are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the
transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct
or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner purchased LLC
Preferred Securities. Transfers of ownership interests in the LLC Preferred
Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants
acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive
certificates representing their ownership interests in LLC Preferred Securities,
except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the LLC Preferred
Securities is discontinued. The laws of some states require that certain
purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive
form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a
global LLC Preferred Security certificate.
 
DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the LLC Preferred
Securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants
to whose accounts such LLC Preferred Securities are credited, which may or may
not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
 
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by
Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and
Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements
among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time.
 
Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the LLC
Preferred Securities are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot
the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such series to be
redeemed.
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   39
 
Although voting with respect to the LLC Preferred Securities is limited, in
those cases where a vote is required, neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or
vote with respect to LLC Preferred Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC
mails an Omnibus Proxy to SCI Finance as soon as possible after the record date.
The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those
Direct Participants to whose accounts the LLC Preferred Securities are credited
on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
 
Dividend payments on the LLC Preferred Securities will be made to DTC. DTC's
practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the relevant payment date
in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC
has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on such payment date.
Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such
Participant and not of DTC, SCI Finance or SCI, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of
dividends to DTC is the responsibility of SCI Finance, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owner will be the responsibility
of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
DTC has advised SCI and SCI Finance that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a holder of LLC Preferred Securities (including, without limitation,
the presentation of a LLC Preferred Security certificate for conversion) only at
the direction of one or more Participants to whose account with DTC interest in
such shares represented by a global certificate are credited and only in respect
of such number of LLC Preferred Securities represented by a global certificate
as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction.
 
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect
to the LLC Preferred Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to SCI
Finance. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities
depository is not obtained, LLC Preferred Securities certificates are required
to be printed and delivered.
 
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has
been obtained from sources that SCI Finance believes to be reliable, but neither
SCI Finance, SCI nor any underwriter or agent takes responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
The Transfer Agent, Registrant and Paying and Conversion Agent for the LLC
Preferred Securities will be Society National Bank.
 
Registration of transfers of LLC Preferred Securities will be effected without
charge by the Transfer Agent, but upon payment (with the giving of such
indemnity as the Transfer Agent may require) in respect of any tax or other
governmental charges which may be imposed in relation to it.
 
The Transfer Agent will not be required to register or cause to be registered
the transfer of LLC Preferred Securities after such shares have been called for
redemption.
 
SCI Finance is not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund
provisions with respect to the LLC Preferred Securities. Holders of LLC
Preferred Securities have no preemptive rights.
 
SCI and SCI Finance will enter into an agreement (the "Liability Assumption
Agreement") pursuant to which SCI, in its capacity as Manager and otherwise,
agrees to guarantee the payment of any liabilities incurred by SCI Finance
(other than obligations to holders of LLC Preferred Securities). The Liability
Assumption Agreement expressly provides that such agreement is for the benefit
of, and is enforceable by, third parties to whom SCI Finance owes such
obligations.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEE
 
Set forth below is a summary of information concerning the Guarantee which will
be executed and delivered by SCI for the benefit of the holders from time to
time of the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   40
 
General
 
SCI will irrevocably and unconditionally agree, to the extent set forth herein,
to pay in full, to the holders of LLC Preferred Shares of any series which may
be issued by SCI Finance, including the LLC Preferred Securities, the Guarantee
Payments (as defined below) (except to the extent paid by SCI Finance), as and
when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim which SCI
Finance may have or assert. The following payments constitute the "Guarantee
Payments" for the LLC Preferred Shares: (i) any accumulated and unpaid dividends
which have been theretofore declared on the LLC Preferred Shares of any series
out of monies legally available therefor, (ii) the redemption price (including
all accumulated and unpaid dividends) to the date of payment payable with
respect to LLC Preferred Shares of any series called for redemption by SCI
Finance out of monies legally available therefor, and (iii) upon a liquidation
of SCI Finance, the lesser of (a) the aggregate liquidation preference per LLC
Preferred Share and all accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not
declared) to the date of payment and (b) the amount of remaining assets of SCI
Finance legally available to holders of LLC Preferred Shares. The Guarantee also
requires SCI to deliver upon conversion of any LLC Preferred Shares all shares
of SCI Common Stock or other property into which such LLC Preferred Shares are
convertible. SCI's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by
direct payment of the required amount by SCI to the holders of LLC Preferred
Shares of any series or by causing SCI Finance to pay such amounts to such
holders.
 
Certain Covenants of SCI
 
In the Guarantee, SCI will covenant that, so long as any LLC Preferred Shares of
any series remain outstanding, SCI shall not declare or pay any dividend on, and
SCI shall not, and SCI shall not permit any of its majority-owned subsidiaries
to, redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
of SCI's capital stock (other than the redemption by the Company of Series C
Junior Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Rights in accordance with the
Rights Agreement relating thereto and any reacquisition by the Company of any of
its stock issued in any acquisition as a result of a purchase price adjustment
or settlement of breach of warranties in connection with such acquisition) or
make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing (other than payments
under the Guarantee), if at such time (i) there shall have occurred any event
that constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, (ii) SCI shall be
in default with respect to its payment or other obligations under the Guarantee
or the Manager shall be in default under its obligations under the Liability
Assumption Agreement or (iii) there shall exist any nonpayment of interest under
the Loans, including during any valid extension of the interest payment periods.
 
In the Guarantee, SCI will also covenant that, so long as any LLC Preferred
Shares of any series remaining outstanding, it will (i) maintain direct 100%
ownership of the LLC Common Shares and any other interests in SCI Finance (other
than the LLC Preferred Shares); (ii) cause more than 20% of the total value
(initially measured by shareholders' equity determined under generally accepted
accounting principles) of SCI Finance and, subject to the preferential rights of
the holders of LLC Preferred Securities as to dividends and liquidation
distributions, more than 20% of all interests in the capital, income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit of SCI Finance to be represented by LLC Common
Shares; (iii) not voluntarily dissolve, wind-up or liquidate SCI Finance; (iv)
remain the Manager of SCI Finance and timely perform all of its duties as
Manager of SCI Finance (including the duty to declare and pay dividends on the
LLC Preferred Shares to the extent set forth in the LLC Articles) and (v) use
reasonable efforts to cause SCI Finance to remain a limited liability company
under the laws of the State of Texas (provided however that SCI Finance may
reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction provided that SCI Finance has
received an opinion from nationally recognized legal counsel that such
reorganization will not have an adverse effect, including, without limitation,
an adverse tax effect, on the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities) and use
reasonable efforts to cause SCI Finance to continue to be treated as a
partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes.
 
Amendments and Assignments
 
Except with respect to any changes which do not adversely affect the rights of
holders of LLC Preferred Shares (in which case no vote will be required), the
Guarantee may be changed only with the prior approval of the holders of not less
than 66 2/3% in liquidation preference (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
per share) of
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   41
 
each series of LLC Preferred Shares then outstanding. The manner of obtaining
any such approval of holders of LLC Preferred Shares will be as set forth under
"Description of the LLC Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights." All guarantees
and agreements contained in the Guarantee shall bind the successors, assigns,
receivers, trustees and representatives of SCI and shall inure to the benefit of
all LLC Preferred Shares then outstanding.
 
Termination of the Guarantee
 
The Guarantee will terminate and be of no further force and effect as to a
series of LLC Preferred Shares upon full payment of the redemption price
(including all accrued and unpaid dividends), or the retirement or cancellation
of all of such series of LLC Preferred Shares, or delivery of all shares of SCI
Common Stock or other property required to be delivered upon conversion, with
respect to all outstanding LLC Preferred Shares of that series, or shall
terminate completely upon full payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation
of SCI Finance including the delivery of all shares of SCI Common Stock or other
property required to be delivered upon conversion of any LLC Preferred Shares.
The Guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any holder of LLC Preferred Shares of such series must
restore payment of any sums, SCI Common Stock or other property paid under the
LLC Preferred Shares of such series or the Guarantee.
 
Status of the Guarantee
 
The Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of SCI and will rank (i)
junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of SCI and will be
subordinated in right of payment in the same manner and to the same extent as
SCI's guarantee of obligations under the Loan Agreement is subordinated to
Senior Indebtedness, (ii) senior to the preferred stock of any series issued at
or after the date of the Guarantee by SCI and (iii) pari passu with any
guarantee entered into at or after the date of the Guarantee by SCI in respect
of any preferred or preference stock of any affiliate of SCI. See
"-- Description of the Loans -- Subordination." The Guarantee will constitute a
guarantee of payment and not of collection. A holder of LLC Preferred Shares may
enforce the Guarantee directly against SCI, and SCI will waive any right or
remedy to require that any action be brought against SCI Finance or any person
or entity before proceeding against SCI. The Guarantee will not be discharged
except by payment of the Guarantee Payments in full (to the extent not paid by
SCI Finance) and by complete performance of all obligations under the Guarantee.
 
Governing Law
 
The Guarantee will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE LOANS
 
Set forth below is a summary of information concerning the Loans from SCI
Finance to SCI Limited of 99% of the proceeds from the issuance of (i) the LLC
Preferred Securities and (ii) the LLC Common Shares and related capital
contributions ("Common Share Payments").
 
General
 
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, SCI Finance has agreed to make the Loans to SCI
Limited in an aggregate principal amount equal to 99% of the sum of the
aggregate liquidation preference of the LLC Preferred Securities issued and sold
by SCI Finance and the aggregate Common Share Payments.
 
The entire principal amount of the Loans will become due and payable (together
with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the earlier of the date set
forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement or the date upon which SCI, SCI
Limited or SCI Finance shall be dissolved, wound-up or liquidated.
 
The Loans and SCI Limited's obligations under the Loan Agreement (i) will be
senior obligations of SCI Limited and will be secured by fifty percent of the
outstanding capital stock of Service Corporation International plc, the
principal assets of which are the capital stock of GSG and PG, and (ii) will be
unconditionally guaranteed by SCI on an unsecured subordinated basis.
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   42
 
Mandatory Payment
 
If SCI Finance redeems LLC Preferred Securities in accordance with the terms
thereof, the Loans will become due and payable in a principal amount equal to
the aggregate liquidation preference of the LLC Preferred Securities so
redeemed, together with any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any
premium in excess of such principal amount. Any payment pursuant to this
provision shall be made in immediately available funds prior to 12:00 noon, New
York time, on the date fixed for such redemption or at such other time on such
earlier date as SCI Finance, SCI Limited and SCI shall agree.
 
Optional Prepayment
 
SCI Limited will have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part
(together with (i) a premium computed based on the same percentage as the
percentage difference between the then applicable Redemption Price on the LLC
Preferred Securities and the stated liquidation preference of the LLC Preferred
Securities and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest), as set forth in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
 
Interest
 
The Loans will bear interest at an annual rate as set forth in the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement from the date they are made until maturity. Such interest
shall be payable on the last day of each calendar month of each year, commencing
as set forth in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. In the event that any
date on which interest is payable on the Loans is not a Business Day, then
payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding
day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in
respect of such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next
succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made
on such date, subject to certain rights of extension described below.
 
Extended Interest Payment Period
 
SCI Limited shall have the right at any time or from time to time during the
term of the Loans, so long as SCI Limited is not in default in the payment of
interest on the Loans, to extend interest payments under the Loans for up to 60
monthly interest payment periods; and at the end of such extended period SCI
Limited shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with interest
thereon at the rate specified for the Loans to the extent permitted by
applicable law); provided, however, that, during any such extended interest
payment period, or at any time during which there is an Event of Default under
the Loans, SCI shall not declare or pay any dividend on, and SCI shall not, and
shall not permit any of its majority-owned subsidiaries to, redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of shares of common
or preferred stock of SCI (other than the redemption by the Company of Series C
Junior Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Rights in accordance with the
Rights Agreement relating thereto and any reacquisition by the Company of any of
its stock issued in any acquisition as a result of a purchase price adjustment
or settlement of breach of warranties in connection with such acquisition) or
make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing (other than payments
under the Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any such extended interest
payment period, SCI Limited may further extend the interest payment period,
provided, that such extended interest payment period together with all such
further extensions thereof may not exceed 60 monthly interest payments in the
aggregate over the term of the Loans. SCI Limited shall give SCI Finance notice
of its selection of an extended interest payment period at least one Business
Day prior to the earlier of (i) the date SCI Finance declares, or would be
scheduled to declare, the related dividend or (ii) the date SCI Finance is
required to give notice of the record or payment date of such related dividend
to any national securities exchange on which the LLC Preferred Securities are
listed or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the LLC
Preferred Securities, but in any event not less than two Business Days prior to
such record date. SCI shall cause SCI Finance to give such notice of SCI
Limited's selection of such extended interest payment period to the holders of
the LLC Preferred Securities concurrently therewith.
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   43
 
Additional Interest
 
If at any time SCI Finance is or will be required to pay any taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding
taxes) imposed by the United States, or any other taxing authority, then, in any
such case, SCI Limited also will pay as additional interest such amounts as
shall be required so that the net amounts received and retained by SCI Finance
after paying any such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges will
not be less than the amounts SCI Finance would have received had no such taxes,
duties, assessments or governmental charges been imposed.
 
Method and Date of Payment
 
Each payment by SCI Limited of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Loans shall be made to SCI Finance in lawful money of the United States, at
such place and to such accounts as may be designated by SCI Finance.
 
Subordination
 
The Loan Agreement provides that SCI's guarantee of the Loans is subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness as provided in the Loan
Agreement. In this section, the term "Senior Indebtedness" means the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest on (i) all indebtedness of SCI, other than
ordinary trade credit and other accounts payable arising in the ordinary course
of business, whether outstanding on the date of the Loan Agreement or thereafter
created, incurred or assumed, which is for money borrowed, or evidenced by a
note or similar instrument given in connection with the acquisition of any
business, properties or assets, including securities, (ii) any indebtedness of
others of the kinds described in the preceding clause (i) for which SCI is
responsible or liable as guarantor and (iii) amendments, renewals, extensions
and refundings of any such indebtedness, unless in any instrument or instruments
evidencing or securing such indebtedness or pursuant to which the same is
outstanding, or in any such amendment, renewal, extension or refunding, it is
expressly provided that such indebtedness is not superior in right of payment to
SCI's guarantee of the Loans. The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be
Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions
of the Loan Agreement irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of
any term of the Senior Indebtedness or extension or renewal of the Senior
Indebtedness.
 
The rights of SCI Limited and its creditors, including SCI Finance as to the
Loans, and SCI and its creditors, including SCI Finance pursuant to SCI's
guarantee of the Loans and the holders under the Guarantee, to participate in
the assets of any subsidiary of SCI Limited or SCI upon any liquidation or
reorganization of such subsidiary or otherwise will be subject to the prior
claims of creditors of such subsidiary, except to the extent that SCI Limited or
SCI may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. The
ability of SCI Limited or SCI to meet its obligations may be dependent upon the
payment to it of dividends, interest and other charges by its subsidiaries. The
ability of SCI Limited's subsidiaries and SCI's subsidiaries to pay dividends or
make other payments to SCI Limited or SCI, as the case may be, is not currently
subject to any contractual or legal restriction (except for limitations imposed
by applicable state corporation laws) which could materially affect SCI
Limited's and SCI's ability to meet their obligations under the Loan Agreement
and the Guarantee. Through their ownership of their subsidiaries, SCI Limited
and SCI currently control (subject to applicable state corporation laws) such
subsidiaries' payment of dividends or other distributions; there can be no
assurance, however, that SCI Limited and SCI will continue such ownership and
control of their subsidiaries.
 
In the event that (i) SCI shall default in the payment of any principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when the same becomes
due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or
declaration or otherwise or (ii) an event of default occurs with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity
thereof and written notice of such event of default is given to SCI by the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness, then unless and until such default in
payment or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased
to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by
set-off or otherwise) may be made or agreed to be made by SCI on account of
SCI's guarantee of the Loans or interest thereon or by SCI in respect of any
repayment, redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of the Loans.
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   44
 
In the event of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating
to SCI or its property or for the benefit of its creditors, (ii) any proceeding
for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of SCI, voluntary or
involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings,
(iii) any assignment by SCI for the benefit of creditors or (iv) any other
marshaling of the assets of SCI, all Senior Indebtedness (including, without
limitation, interest accruing thereon after the commencement of any such
proceeding, assignment or marshaling of assets) shall first be paid in full
before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, may be made by SCI on account of its guarantee obligations under the
Loan Agreement and the Loans. In any such event, any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of SCI or
any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or a
readjustment, the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent
provided in the subordination provisions relating to SCI's guarantee obligations
under the Loan Agreement and the Loans with respect to the indebtedness
evidenced by the Loans, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time
outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan
of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for the
subordination provision) be payable or deliverable in respect of SCI's guarantee
obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Loans shall be paid or delivered
directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or
trustee) in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders
until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. No present or future
holder of any Senior Indebtedness may be prejudiced in the right to enforce
subordination of SCI's guarantee obligations under the Loan Agreement and the
Loans by any act or failure to act on the part of SCI.
 
Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the
holders thereof shall have received cash, securities or other property equal to
the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the payment in
full of all Senior Indebtedness, SCI Finance shall be subrogated to all the
rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payments or
distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Loans shall have
been paid in full, and such payments or distributions of cash, securities or
other property received by SCI Finance, by reason of such subrogation, which
otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
shall, as between SCI and its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness on the one hand, and SCI Finance, on the other, be deemed to be a
payment by SCI on account of Senior Indebtedness, and not on account of SCI's
guarantee obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Loans.
 
Covenants
 
SCI will covenant that SCI will not declare or pay any dividend on, and SCI will
not, and will not permit any of its majority-owned subsidiaries to, redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of SCI's
capital stock (other than the redemption by the Company of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Rights in accordance with the Rights
Agreement relating thereto and any reacquisition by the Company of any of its
stock issued in any acquisition as a result of a purchase price adjustment or
settlement of breach of warranties in connection with such acquisition), or make
any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing (other than payments under
the Guarantee), if at such time (i) there shall have occurred any event that
constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, (ii) SCI shall be in
default with respect to its payment or other obligations under the Guarantee or
SCI or the Manager shall be in default under its obligations under the Liability
Assumption Agreement or (iii) there shall exist any nonpayment of interest under
the Loans, including during any valid extension of the interest payment periods.
SCI will also covenant (i) to maintain direct 100% ownership of the LLC Common
Shares and any other interests of SCI Finance other than the LLC Preferred
Shares, (ii) to cause more than 20% of the total value (initially measured by
shareholders' equity determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) of SCI Finance and, subject to the preferential rights of the
holders of LLC Preferred Shares as to dividends and liquidation distributions,
more than 20% of all interests in the capital, income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit of SCI Finance to be represented by LLC Common Shares, (iii) not to
dissolve, wind-up or liquidate SCI Finance voluntarily, (iv) to remain the
Manager of SCI Finance and to timely perform all of its duties as Manager
(including the duty to declare and pay dividends on the LLC Preferred Shares as
described in "-- Dividends") and (v) to use its reasonable efforts to cause SCI
Finance to remain a limited liability company under the laws
 
                                       43

of the State of Texas (provided however that SCI Finance may reorganize under
the laws of another jurisdiction provided that SCI Finance has received a legal
opinion from nationally recognized legal counsel that such reorganization will
not have an adverse effect, including, without limitation, an adverse tax
effect, on the holders of the LLC Preferred Securities) and use reasonable
efforts to cause SCI Finance to continue to be treated as a partnership for
United States Federal income tax purposes. In addition, SCI has agreed to
maintain and reserve sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock sufficient
to satisfy all conversion rights under the LLC Preferred Securities and to have
available for issuance such other property as may be subject to delivery
pursuant to such conversion rights.
 
SCI Finance may not waive compliance or waive any default in compliance by SCI
Limited of any covenant or other term in the Loan Agreement or by SCI of its
guarantee of the Loans without the approval of the same percentage of the
holders of LLC Preferred Securities, obtained in the same manner, as would be
required for an amendment of the Loan Agreement to the same effect.
 
Events of Default
 
If one or more of the following events (each an "Event of Default") shall occur
and be continuing:
 
(a) default in the payment of any interest on the Loans when due for 10 Business
Days; provided, however, that a valid extension of the interest payment period
by SCI Limited shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for
this purpose (see "-- Description of the Loans-- Interest"); or
 
(b) default in the payment of principal of or premium of any, on the Loans when
due; or
 
(c) failure of SCI to comply with the conversion provisions of the LLC Preferred
Securities; or
 
(d) the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of SCI Finance; or
 
(e) the bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of SCI or SCI Limited; or
 
(f) breach by SCI Limited or SCI of any of its covenants under the Loan
Agreement continued for 30 days after notice to SCI Limited and SCI from the
holders of not less than 25 percent in liquidation preference of the LLC
Preferred Securities then outstanding;
 
then, SCI Finance will have the right to declare the principal of and the
interest on the Loans (including any interest subject to an extension election)
and all other amounts payable under the Loan Agreement to be forthwith due and
payable and to enforce its other rights as a creditor with respect to the Loans.
Under the terms of the LLC Preferred Securities, the holders of outstanding LLC
Preferred Securities will have the rights referred to under "-- Description of
the LLC Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights," including the right to appoint a
trustee, which trustee will be authorized to exercise SCI Finance's right to
accelerate the principal amount of the Loans and to enforce SCI Finance's other
creditor rights under the Loans and the Loan Agreement, and SCI Limited and SCI
agree to cooperate with such trustee.
 
Miscellaneous
 
SCI Limited will have the right at all times to assign any of its rights or
obligations under the Loan Agreement to a direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of SCI; provided, however, that, in the event of any such assignment,
SCI Limited will remain jointly and severally liable for all such obligations;
and provided further, that SCI Limited shall receive an opinion of legal counsel
that the effect of any such assignment does not cause SCI Finance to be
considered an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. SCI Finance may not assign any of its rights under the Loan Agreement
without the prior written consent of SCI Limited and SCI. Subject to the
foregoing, the Loan Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
SCI Limited, SCI and SCI Finance and their respective successors and assigns.
The Loan Agreement provides that it may not otherwise be assigned by SCI
Limited, SCI Finance or SCI.
 
The Loan Agreement will provide that neither SCI Limited nor SCI may permit
another entity to merge with or into SCI Limited or SCI, as the case may be,
unless (i) at such time no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or
would occur as a result of such merger, and (ii) either (a) SCI Limited or SCI,
as the case may
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   46
 
be, is the survivor of such merger or (b) the survivor is a corporation
organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and expressly
assumes all of the obligations of SCI Limited or SCI, as the case may be, under
the Loan Agreement and the Loans and SCI Limited receives an opinion of counsel
from nationally recognized legal counsel that the merger will not result in the
recognition of taxable gain or loss by the holders of the LLC Preferred
Securities.
 
The Loan Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.
 
The Loan Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties in the manner
the parties shall agree; provided, however, that, so long as any of the LLC
Preferred Securities remain outstanding, no such amendment shall be made that
adversely affects the holders of LLC Preferred Securities, no termination of the
Loan Agreement shall occur, and no Event of Default or compliance with any
covenant under the Loan Agreement may be waived by SCI Finance, without the
prior consent of the holders of 66 2/3% in liquidation preference of the
outstanding LLC Preferred Securities, in writing or at a duly constituted
meeting of such holders.
 
                   CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
                     REGARDING THE LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
GENERAL
 
In the opinion of Miller & Chevalier, Chartered, special tax counsel to SCI and
SCI Finance, the following discussion accurately describes, subject to the
qualifications stated herein, the material federal income tax considerations
relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the LLC Preferred
Securities. This discussion, which may be modified or supplemented in a
Prospectus Supplement, is a summary that does not purport to deal with all
aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders of the LLC
Preferred Securities, nor to certain types of holders subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, banks, life insurance
companies, dealers, tax-exempt organizations, persons whose functional currency
is not the U.S. dollar, or foreign persons and foreign entities). Unless
otherwise stated, this discussion is directed at initial purchasers who acquire
the LLC Preferred Securities at original issue and hold the LLC Preferred
Securities as capital assets.
 
This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), Treasury regulations, judicial decisions and Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") rulings and notices currently in effect, all of which are subject to
change, which change may possibly be applied in a retroactive manner that could
adversely affect a holder of the LLC Preferred Securities. While the discussion
is based on the opinion of Miller & Chevalier, Chartered, an opinion of counsel
is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Neither SCI nor SCI Finance has sought,
or intends to seek, a ruling from the IRS that the positions stated in the
discussion will be accepted by the IRS. Moreover, there are no cases or rulings
on similar transactions, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree
with the conclusions expressed below.
 
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR
OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL INCOME, ESTATE AND GIFT TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES, AS WELL AS THE
TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, FOREIGN COUNTRY OR OTHER
JURISDICTION.
 
TAX CLASSIFICATION
 
While the following matters are not free from doubt, Miller & Chevalier,
Chartered is of the opinion that (i) SCI Finance will be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as an association (or as a
publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, and (ii) the Loans will
be classified as indebtedness for such purposes. This advice is based upon the
terms of the Loans, the LLC Articles, the LLC Regulations and
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   47
 
related documents and transactions as described in this Prospectus (and assumes
ongoing compliance with such documents).
 
Prospective investors and their advisors should be aware, however, that the
proper characterization of the arrangement involving SCI Finance, the Loans and
the LLC Preferred Securities is not entirely clear, and the IRS has recently
announced that it will scrutinize and may challenge transactions with some
features that are similar to this arrangement. If, contrary to the opinion of
tax counsel, the IRS successfully argued that SCI Finance should be taxable as a
corporation, SCI Finance would be subject to federal income tax at corporate
rates and distributions to holders of LLC Preferred Securities likely would be
taxable as dividend income. Similarly, if, contrary to the opinion of tax
counsel, the IRS successfully asserted that the Loans were properly classified
as stock or other equity, then payments on the Loans would not be deductible by
SCI Limited as interest, but instead likely would be treated as distributions to
holders taxable as dividends.
 
Prospective investors should also be aware that the IRS recently issued a
proposed Treasury regulation under which the IRS can disregard or recast the
form of a partnership transaction if the partnership is formed or availed of in
connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) "with a
principal purpose of substantially reducing the present value of the partners'
aggregate federal tax liability" in a manner inconsistent with the intent of the
partnership provisions of the Code. The regulation is proposed to be effective
for all transactions occurring on or after May 12, 1994. In the view of Miller &
Chevalier, Chartered, SCI Finance should not be considered to be formed or
availed of with the purpose proscribed by the proposed regulation because the
transactions involving SCI Finance are not of the type intended to fall within
the scope of the proposed regulation. There can be no assurance, however, that
the IRS will agree with this view. It also is impossible to predict what changes
might be made in the proposed regulation before it is adopted in final form.
Unless otherwise noted, the remainder of this summary assumes, in accordance
with the opinion of Miller & Chevalier, Chartered, that SCI Finance is properly
classified as a partnership and the Loans are properly classified as
indebtedness for federal income tax purposes.
 
INCOME FROM LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
As partners in a partnership, each holder of LLC Preferred Securities will be
required to include in gross income its distributive share of the net income of
SCI Finance, which net income generally will be equal to the amount of interest
received or accrued on the Loans. See "Original Issue Discount" below. Any
amount so included in a holder's gross income will increase its tax basis in the
LLC Preferred Securities, and the amount of distributions of cash or other
property by SCI Finance to the holder will reduce such holder's tax basis in the
LLC Preferred Securities. No portion of the amounts received on the LLC
Preferred Securities will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.
 
SCI Finance does not presently intend to make an election under Section 754 of
the Code. As a result, a subsequent purchaser of LLC Preferred Securities will
not be permitted to adjust the tax basis in its allocable share of SCI Finance's
assets so as to reflect any difference between its purchase price for the LLC
Preferred Securities and the underlying tax basis of SCI Finance in its assets.
As a result, a holder of LLC Preferred Securities may be required to report a
larger or smaller amount of income from holding LLC Preferred Securities than
would otherwise be appropriate based upon the holder's purchase price for the
LLC Preferred Securities.
 
ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT
 
Under the terms of the Loans, SCI Limited will have the right to extend interest
payments under the Loans for up to 60 monthly interest payment periods. If the
payment period is extended, SCI Finance will continue to accrue income, equal to
the amount of the interest payment due at the end of the extended payment
period, over the length of the extended payment period. As a result, holders of
record during an extended interest payment period will include interest in gross
income in advance of the receipt of cash, and any such holders who dispose of
LLC Preferred Securities prior to the record date for the payment of dividends
following such extended interest payment period will include such holder's
allocable share of such interest in gross income but will not receive any cash
from SCI Finance related thereto. The tax basis of an LLC Preferred Security
will be increased by the
 
                                       46
<PAGE>   48
 
amount of any interest that is included in income without a receipt of cash and
will be decreased when and if such cash is subsequently received from SCI
Finance.
 
A holder should not be required to allocate a portion of the amount paid for an
LLC Preferred Security to any right to convert such LLC Preferred Security into
SCI Common Stock and, therefore, should not be required to include any amount in
income by reason of original issue discount on the LLC Preferred Security. The
IRS might take a contrary view, however, and require holders to allocate a
portion of the price paid for a convertible LLC Preferred Security to the right
to convert into SCI Common Stock. If the IRS were successful in requiring such
an allocation, a holder could be required to include an incremental amount of
original issue discount (in addition to stated interest) in income over the life
of such LLC Preferred Security. SCI intends to take the position that no
allocation that would result in additional original issue discount (in excess of
stated interest) is required.
 
USE OF CONVENTION
 
SCI Finance may adopt a convention for allocating all of the net income accrued
by SCI Finance in any calendar month, such as by allocating the net income to
the holders of record of the LLC Preferred Securities and the Common Shares on
the dividend record date. It is unclear whether this convention will be
respected for federal income tax purposes. If it is not respected, the
distributive share of SCI Finance's net income allocable to LLC Preferred
Securities in respect of a month in which such shares are sold may be allocated
between the seller and the purchaser on some other basis. Any amount so
allocated to the holder of record of the LLC Preferred Securities, whether as
seller or purchaser, would be includible in the holder's income and would
increase the holder's basis in the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
DISPOSITION OF LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
Gain or loss will be recognized on a sale of LLC Preferred Securities, including
a complete redemption for cash, equal to the difference between the amount
realized and the holder's tax basis for the LLC Preferred Securities sold. Gain
or loss on the sale or exchange of LLC Preferred Securities held for more than
one year generally will be taxable as long-term capital gain or loss. The
adjusted tax basis of the LLC Preferred Securities sold by a holder will equal
the amount paid by such holder for the LLC Preferred Securities, plus the share
of partnership income allocated to such holder and reduced by any cash or other
property distributed to such holder by SCI Finance. A holder acquiring LLC
Preferred Securities at different prices may be required to maintain a single
aggregate adjusted tax basis in such LLC Preferred Securities, and, upon sale or
other disposition of some of the LLC Preferred Securities, allocate a pro rata
portion of such aggregate tax basis to the LLC Preferred Securities sold (rather
than maintaining a separate tax basis in each LLC Preferred Security for
purposes of computing gain or loss on a sale of that LLC Preferred Security).
 
If a holder of LLC Preferred Securities is required to recognize an aggregate
amount of income over the life of the LLC Preferred Securities that exceeds the
aggregate cash distributions with respect thereto, such excess generally will
result in a capital loss upon the retirement of the LLC Preferred Securities.
 
To the extent SCI Limited is required to pay a prepayment premium to SCI Finance
in connection with a prepayment of the Loans, SCI Finance will pay a
corresponding redemption premium to holders of LLC Preferred Securities whose
LLC Preferred Securities are redeemed. SCI Finance will recognize capital gain
on a prepayment of the Loans to the extent of the prepayment premium. SCI
Finance's gain will be allocated to the holders whose LLC Preferred Securities
are subsequently redeemed by SCI Finance, and the allocated gain should increase
such holders' adjusted tax basis in these LLC Preferred Securities. A holder who
has a basis increase due to such allocation will not have additional taxable
gain attributable to the redemption premium upon SCI Finance's subsequent
redemption of the holder's LLC Preferred Securities.
 
CONVERSION OF LLC PREFERRED SECURITIES
 
A holder who converts convertible LLC Preferred Securities into SCI Common Stock
will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the tax
basis of the LLC Preferred Securities and the fair market value of the SCI
Common Stock received plus the amount of cash received in lieu of fractional
shares. Such gain
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   49
 
or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the LLC Preferred Securities
have been held for more than one year. The holder's tax basis in the SCI Common
Stock received in the conversion will equal its fair market value.
 
ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE
 
Treasury regulations under Section 305 of the Code would treat holders of LLC
Preferred Securities as having received a constructive distribution from SCI in
the event the conversion ratio of convertible LLC Preferred Securities were
adjusted if (i) as a result, the proportionate interest of the holders of such
LLC Preferred Securities in the assets or earnings and profits of SCI were
increased and (ii) the adjustment was not made pursuant to a bona fide,
reasonable antidilution formula. An adjustment in the conversion ratio would not
be considered made pursuant to such a formula if the adjustment was made to
compensate for certain taxable distributions with respect to the stock into
which such LLC Preferred Securities are convertible. Thus, under certain
circumstances, a reduction in the conversion price for the LLC Preferred
Securities is likely to be taxable to the holders thereof as dividend to the
extent of the earnings and profits of SCI.
 
INFORMATION RETURNS AND AUDIT PROCEDURES
 
The Manager will furnish each holder with a Schedule K-1 each year setting forth
such holder's allocable share of income for the prior calendar year. The Manager
is required, under the LLC Regulations, to furnish such Schedule K-1 as soon as
practicable following the end of the taxable year, but in any event prior to
March 31st of each succeeding year (assuming, as anticipated, that SCI Finance's
taxable year is a calendar year).
 
Any person who holds LLC Preferred Securities as nominee for another person is
required to furnish to SCI Finance (a) the name, address and taxpayer
identification number of the beneficial owner and the nominee; (b) information
as to whether the beneficial owner is (i) a person that is not a United States
person, (ii) a foreign government, an international organization or any
wholly-owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing or (iii) a
tax-exempt entity; (c) the amount and description of LLC Preferred Securities
held, acquired or transferred for the beneficial owner; and (d) certain
information including the dates of acquisitions and transfers, means of such
acquisitions and transfers, and acquisition costs for purchases, as well as the
amount of net proceeds from sales. Brokers and financial institutions are
required to furnish additional information, including whether they are United
States persons and certain information on LLC Preferred Securities they acquire,
hold or transfer for their own accounts. A penalty of $50 per failure (up to a
maximum of $100,000 per calendar year) is imposed by the Code for failure to
report such information to SCI Finance. The nominee is required to supply the
beneficial owners of the LLC Preferred Securities with the information furnished
to SCI Finance.
 
SCI, as the tax matters partner, will be responsible for representing the
holders in any dispute with the IRS. The Code provides for administrative
examination of a partnership as if the partnership were a separate and distinct
taxpayer. Generally, the statute of limitations for partnership items does not
expire before three years from the later of the filing or the last date for
filing of the partnership information return. Any adverse determination
following an audit of the return of SCI Finance by the appropriate taxing
authorities could result in an adjustment of the tax returns of the holders,
and, under certain circumstances, a holder may be precluded from separately
litigating a proposed adjustment to the items of the partnership. An adjustment
could also result in an audit of a holder's tax return and adjustments of items
not related to the income and losses of SCI Finance.
 
BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
 
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments to
noncorporate U.S. holders from the sale of LLC Preferred Securities within the
United States, and "backup withholding" at a rate of 31% will apply to such
payments if the United States holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer
identification number.
 
Payments of the proceeds from the sale by a United States Alien Holder (as
defined below) of LLC Preferred Securities made to or through a foreign office
of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding,
except that, if the broker is a United States person, a controlled foreign
corporation for United States tax purposes, or a foreign person 50% or more of
whose gross income is effectively connected with a United States trade or
business for a specified three-year period, information reporting may apply to
such payments.
 
                                       48
<PAGE>   50
 
Payments of the proceeds from the sale of LLC Preferred Securities to or through
the United States office of a broker is subject to information reporting and
backup withholding unless the holder or beneficial owner certifies as to its
non-United States status or otherwise establishes an exemption for information
reporting and backup withholding.
 
UNITED STATES ALIEN HOLDERS
 
For purposes of this discussion, a "United States Alien Holder" is any holder
who or which is (i) a nonresident alien individual or (ii) a foreign
corporation, foreign partnership, foreign estate or foreign trust, in any such
case not subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in
respect of an LLC Preferred Security.
 
Under present United States federal income tax law:
 
(i) payments with respect to interest from SCI Limited made to SCI Finance or
any of its paying agents to any holder of an LLC Preferred Security who or which
is a United States Alien Holder will not be subject to United States federal
withholding tax; provided that (a) the beneficial owner of the LLC Preferred
Security does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of SCI Limited entitled to vote,
(b) the beneficial owner of the LLC Preferred Security is not a controlled
foreign corporation that is related to SCI Limited through stock ownership, and
(c) either (A) the beneficial owner of the LLC Preferred Security certifies to
SCI Finance or its agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a United
States Holder and provides its name and address or (B) a securities clearing
organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers'
securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business (a "financial
institution") and holds the LLC Preferred Security certifies to SCI Finance or
its agent under penalties of perjury that such statement has been received from
the beneficial owner by it or by a financial institution between it and the
beneficial owner and furnishes the payor with a copy thereof; and
 
(ii) a United States Alien Holder of an LLC Preferred Security will not be
subject to United States withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or
exchange of a LLC Preferred Security.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The Company and/or SCI Finance may sell Securities to or through underwriters,
and also may sell Securities directly to other purchasers or through agents. The
distribution of the Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or at negotiated prices.
 
In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may receive compensation
from the Company and/or SCI Finance or from purchasers of Securities for whom
they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
Underwriters may sell Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as
agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of
Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions
received by them from the Company and/or SCI Finance and any profit on the
resale of Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions, under the Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified,
and any such compensation received from the Company and/or SCI Finance will be
described, in the Prospectus Supplement.
 
Under agreements which may be entered into by the Company and/or SCI Finance,
underwriters and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be
entitled to indemnification by the Company and/or SCI Finance against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Act.
 
If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company and/or SCI Finance
will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as the Company's and/or SCI
Finance's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase
Securities from the Company and/or SCI Finance pursuant to contracts providing
for payments and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such
contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies,
pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   51
 
others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by the Company
and/or SCI Finance. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract
will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the offered Securities
shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the
jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other
agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or
performance of such contracts.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
The Company
 
The Company is a Texas corporation.
 
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "Act") provides that
any director or officer of a Texas corporation may be indemnified against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by him in connection with or in defending any action, suit or
proceeding in which he is or is threatened to be made a named defendant by
reason of his position as director or officer, provided that he conducted
himself in good faith and reasonably believed that, in the case of conduct in
his official capacity as director or officer, such conduct was in the
corporation's best interests, or, in all other cases, that such conduct was not
opposed to the corporation's best interests. In the case of any criminal
proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified only if he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If a director or officer
is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in connection with such a
proceeding, such indemnification is mandatory.
 
Under the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Articles"), no director of the registrant will be liable to the registrant or
any of its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the
director's capacity as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) for any transaction for which the director
received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action
taken within the scope of the director's office, (iv) for acts or omissions for
which the liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or (v) for
acts related to an unlawful stock repurchase or dividend payment. The Articles
further provide that, if the statutes of Texas are amended to further limit the
liability of a director, then the liability of the Company's directors will be
limited to the fullest extent permitted by any such provision.
 
The Company's By-laws provide for indemnification of officers and directors of
the registrant and persons serving at the request of the registrant in such
capacities for other business organizations against certain losses, costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of their positions with the
registrant or such other business organizations. The Company also has policies
insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions
taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

SCI Finance
 
SCI Finance is a Texas limited liability company. The Texas Limited Liability
Company Act provides that a Texas limited liability company shall have power to
indemnify managers, officers, employees, agents and others to the same extent a
corporation may indemnify directors, employees, agents and others under the
Texas Business Corporation Act. See Item 15 above, "The Company". Regulation 25
of SCI Finance's Regulations authorizes SCI Finance to indemnify any officer,
director, employee or other agent of the Manager, in such agent's capacity as
such, to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided that no amendment to or
repeal of the Regulations shall adversely affect any right existing at the time
of the amendment of or repeal of the Regulations. Regulation 25 also permits SCI
Finance to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Manager and certain
other person, whether or not it would have the power under Regulation 25 to
indemnify such persons against the related expense, liability or loss.
 
Additionally, Article Nine of the LLC Articles eliminates, to the extent
permitted by law, in certain circumstances the monetary liability of any
officer, director, employee or other agent of any manager of SCI Finance (each,
an "Agent") for an act or omission in such Agent's capacity as an Agent. This
provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of any such Agent to the
extent such Agent is found liable for (i) a breach of such Agent's duty of
loyalty to SCI Finance or its members; (ii) an act or omission not in good faith
that constitutes a breach of duty of such Agent to SCI Finance or an act or
omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
(iii) a transaction from which such Agent received an improper benefit, whether
or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of such
Agent's office; or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of any such
Agent is expressly provided for by statute. Any repeal or amendment of Article
Nine by the members of SCI Finance is prospective only and will not adversely
affect any limitations on the liability of any Agent existing at the time of
such repeal or amendment.
 
Reference is made to the Forms of Underwriting Agreements, filed as Exhibits
1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 hereto, which contain provisions for indemnification of each of
the registrants, their directors, officers and any controlling persons, by the
Underwriters against certain liabilities for information furnished by the
Underwriters.
 
For a statement of the registrants' undertakings with respect to indemnification
of directors and officers, see Item 17 below.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
(a) The Undersigned hereby undertake:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;
 
     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
     effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement; and
 
     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
 
(b) The undersigned hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of SCI's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned
have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
(d) The undersigned hereby undertake to provide to the underwriters at the
closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

         Re:     Service Corporation International/SCI Finance
                 LLC Registration Statement on Form S-3
                 (File Nos. 33-56069; 33-56069-01)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Service Corporation International,
a Texas corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, by the Company and SCI Finance LLC, a
Texas limited liability company ("SCI Finance"), on a Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), of Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, 
Common Stock Warrants and Common Stock (including Series C Junior Participating
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights) of the Company and the Guarantee of the 
Company (the "Guarantee") with respect to the LLC Preferred Securities of 
SCI Finance (the "LLC Preferred Securities"), as well as the LLC Preferred 
Securities, with an initial offering price of up to $1,000,000,000.

         As such counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and
inquiries as we deemed advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We
are familiar with the proceedings taken and to be taken in connection with the
authorization and issuance of the Guarantee, and have assumed such proceedings
will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed.

        Subject to the proposed additional proceedings being taken as now
contemplated prior to the issuance of the Guarantee and the terms of the
Guarantee being otherwise in compliance with then applicable law, it is our
opinion that the Payment, Guarantee and Conversion Agreement of the Company
will constitute, when executed and delivered by the Company and when the LLC
Preferred Securities have been issued and delivered by SCI Finance against
payment therefor and the proceeds of such issuance have been loaned to SCI
Limited, a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) the effect of
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the
rights and remedies of creditors and (b) the effect of general principles of
equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Texas counsel for Service Corporation International, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") with respect to (i) the
Company's (a) unsecured debt securities ("Debt Securities"), (b) shares of
preferred stock, $1.00 par value ("Preferred Stock"), in one or more series,
(c) shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, including the preferred stock
purchase rights associated therewith (collectively, "Common Stock"), (d)
warrants to purchase Common Stock ("Warrants") and (e) guarantee ("Guarantee")
of LLC Preferred Securities (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) shares of LLC
Preferred Securities (the "LLC Preferred Securities" and, together with the
Debt Securities, the Preferred Stock, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the
Guarantee, the "Securities") in one or more series of the Company's subsidiary,
SCI Finance LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("SCI Finance"), to be
issued from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, for an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed
$1,000,000,000.

We have examined (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of
the Company, each as amended to date, (ii) a Senior Indenture dated as of
February 1, 1993 (the "Senior Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of
New York, as Trustee, (iii) a form of Senior Subordinated Indenture (the
"Senior Subordinated Indenture") between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank
National Association ("TCB"), as Trustee, (iv) a Subordinated Indenture dated
as of September 1, 1991 (the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Company and
TCB, as Trustee, (v) the Articles of Organization and the Regulations of SCI
Finance, and (vi) such certificates, statutes and other instruments and
documents as we considered appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter
expressed.

In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the Registration
Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments),
will have become effective; (ii) a Prospectus Supplement will have been
prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered
thereby; (iii) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the
Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement; and (iv) a
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any
Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and
delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.       With respect to shares of Common Stock, when (i) the Board of
Directors of the Company or, to the extent permitted by Article 2.36 of the
Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA"), a duly constituted and acting
committee thereof (such Board of Directors or committee being referred to
herein as the "Board"), has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the
issuance of and the terms of the offering of the shares of Common Stock and
related matters; and (ii) certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (a) in
accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar
agreement approved by the Board upon payment of the consideration therefor (not
less than the par value of the Common Stock) provided for therein, or (b) upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security in accordance with the
terms of such Security or the instrument governing such Security providing for
such conversion, exchange or exercise as approved by the Board, for the
consideration approved by the Board (not less than the par value of the Common
Stock), the shares of Common Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

2.       With respect to shares of any series of Preferred Stock, when (i) the
Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and
terms of the shares of such series, the terms of the offering thereof and
related matters, including the adoption of a resolution establishing and
designating such series and fixing and determining the preferences,
limitations, and relative rights thereof and the filing of a statement with
respect to such series with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas as
required under Article 2.13 of the TBCA; and (ii) certificates representing the
shares of such series of Preferred Stock have been duly executed,
countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with the applicable
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board
upon payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the
Preferred Stock) provided for therein, the shares of such series of Preferred
Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.       With respect to Debt Securities to be issued under the Senior
Indenture, when (i) the Senior Indenture has been duly qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"); (ii) the Board has taken
all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of such Debt
Securities, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters; and (iii)
such Debt Securities have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and
delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indenture and in
accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar
agreement approved by the Board upon payment of

the consideration therefore provided for therein, such Debt Securities will be
legally issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
as such enforcement is subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other law relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally and general principles of equity and will be entitled to the benefits

action to approve the issuance and terms of such Debt Securities, the terms of

provisions of the Senior Subordinated Indenture and in accordance with the
applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by
the Board upon payment of the consideration therefore provided for therein,
such Debt Securities will be legally issued and will constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement is subject to any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity and will
be entitled to the benefits of the Senior Subordinated Indenture.

5.       With respect to Debt Securities to be issued under the Subordinated
Indenture, when (i) the Subordinated Indenture has been duly qualified under
the TIA; (ii) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the
issuance and terms of such Debt Securities, the terms of the offering thereof
and related matters; and (iii) such Debt Securities have been duly executed,
authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the
Subordinated Indenture and in accordance with the applicable definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board upon payment
of the consideration therefor provided for therein, such Debt Securities will
be legally issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
as such enforcement is subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other law relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally and general principles of equity and will be entitled to the benefits
of the Subordinated Indenture.

6.       With respect to the Warrants, when (i) the Board has taken all
necessary corporate action to approve the creation of and the issuance and
terms of the Warrants, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters;

agreements and the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar
agreement approved by the Board upon payment of the consideration therefore
provided for therein, the Warrants will be duly authorized and validly issued.

7.       With respect to shares of any series of LLC Preferred Securities, when
(i) the Manager of SCI Finance (the "Manager") has taken all necessary
corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of such series,

the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, including the adoption
of an amendment to the Regulations of SCI Finance establishing the relative
rights, powers, and duties, including voting rights, of the holders of such
series; and (ii) certificates representing the shares of such series have been
duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with the
applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by
the Manager upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for therein,
the shares of such series of LLC Preferred Securities will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the statements made with respect to us under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus included as part of the Registration
Statement.

Dear Sirs:

         We are acting as special tax counsel for Service Corporation

Schedule RC-C--Continued

Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms

Schedule RC-C, Part II is to be reported only with the June Report of Condition.

Report the number and amount currently outstanding as of June 30 of business loans with "original amounts" of $1,000,000 or less and
farm loans with "original amounts" of $500,000 or less. The following guidelines should be used to determine the "original amount" 
of a loan: (1) for loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the "original amount" of the loan is the size of the 
line of credit or loan commitment when the line of credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior 
to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the "original amount" is 
the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan participations and syndications, the "original amount" of the loan
participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the 
"original amount" is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date, 
whichever is larger.

Schedule RC-R--Risk-Based Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC,
item 12, for June 30, 1993, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memorandum item 1.  Banks with assets of less than
$1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.
                                                                                               
                                                                                                             ____________

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.  To be completed           _____ __________
   only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.  Indicate in the appropriate                | YES        NO |
   box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or equal to eight percent __________ _______________
   of adjusted total assets ............................................................... | RCFD 6056 |     |////|    | 1.
                                                                                            _____________________________
     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan
   and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight
   percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

                                                                              ___________________________________________

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information is required by Public Laws 90-44 and 102-242, but does not constitute a part of the Report of Condition.
With each Report of Condition, these Laws require all banks to furnish a report of all loans or other extensions of credit to their
executive officers made since the date of the previous Report of Condition. Data regarding individual loans or other extensions of
credit are not required. If no such loans or other extensions of credit were made during the period, insert "none" against subitem
(a). (Exclude the first $15,000 of indebtedness of each executive officer under bank credit card plan.) See Sections 215.2 and
215.3 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Federal Reserve Board Regulation O) for the definitions of "executive officer"
and "extension of credit," respectively. Exclude loans and other extensions of credit to directors and principal shareholders who
are not executive officers.
