PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Service Corporation International was incorporated in Texas on July 5,
1962. The term "Company" or "SCI" includes the registrant and its subsidiaries,
unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Company is the largest provider of death care services in the world. At
December 31, 1995, the Company operated 2,739 funeral service locations, 318
cemeteries and 139 crematoria located in North America, Europe and Australia. In
addition, the Company provides capital financing to independent funeral home and
cemetery operators.
The Company has continued to expand through the acquisition of funeral
service locations, cemeteries and crematoria, both domestically and
internationally. In 1995, the Company acquired two French companies that the
Company believes together constitute the largest funeral service organization in
Europe. Also in 1995, the Company acquired the fourth largest funeral service
organization in North America. Including these acquisitions, the Company in 1995
acquired 1,263 funeral service locations, 99 cemeteries and 30 crematoria. The
Company has acquired most of its present operations through acquisitions. For
information regarding acquisitions, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
For financial information about the Company's industry segments, including
the identifiable assets of the Company by industry segments, see Note 13 to the
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
FUNERAL AND CEMETERY OPERATIONS
The Funeral and Cemetery Operations consist of the Company's funeral
service locations, cemeteries and related businesses. The operations are
organized into five North American divisions covering the United States and
Canada, a European division which includes the Company's French and United
Kingdom operations, and an Australian division. Each division is under the
direction of divisional executive management with substantial industry
experience. Local funeral service location and cemetery managers, under the
direction of the divisional management, receive support and resources from SCI's
headquarters in Houston, Texas and have substantial autonomy with respect to the
manner in which services are conducted.
The majority of the Company's funeral service locations and cemeteries are
managed in groups called clusters. Clusters are established primarily in
metropolitan areas to take advantage of operational efficiencies, including the
sharing of service personnel, vehicles, preparation services, clerical staff and
certain building facility costs.
Funeral Service Locations. The funeral service locations provide all
professional services relating to funerals, including the use of funeral
facilities and motor vehicles. Funeral service locations sell caskets, coffins,
burial vaults, cremation receptacles, flowers and burial garments, and certain
funeral service locations also operate crematoria. The Company owns 126 funeral
service location/cemetery combinations and operates 60 flower shops engaged
principally in the design and sale of funeral floral arrangements. These flower
shops provide floral arrangements to some of the Company's funeral homes and
cemeteries.
In addition to selling its services and products to client families at the
time of need, the Company also sells prearranged funeral services in most of its
service markets, including foreign markets. Funeral prearrangement is a means
through which a customer contractually agrees to the terms of a funeral to be
performed in the future. The funds collected from prearranged funeral contracts
are generally held in trust, are used to purchase life insurance or annuity
contracts from third party insurers or, with respect to French contracts, are
held in the Company's French insurance subsidiary. This French insurance
subsidiary sells prearranged funeral insurance contracts primarily in connection
with the Company's French funeral service operations. Funds paid on prearranged
funerals may not be withdrawn until the funeral is performed or until
cancellation by the customer. At December 31, 1995, the Company's unfulfilled
prearranged funeral contracts, including accumulated trust fund earnings and
increased benefits on insurance products, amounted to $2,362 million of which
$219 million is estimated, based on actuarial assumptions, to be fulfilled in
1996. The
1
<PAGE> 3
unfulfilled prearranged funeral contracts at December 31, 1994 were $1,520
million. For additional information concerning prearranged funeral activities,
see Notes 4 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this
Form 10-K.
The Company has multiple funeral service locations and cemeteries in a
number of metropolitan areas. Within individual metropolitan areas, the funeral
service locations and cemeteries operate under various names because most
operations were acquired as existing businesses and generally continue to be
operated under the same name as before acquisition.
The death rate tends to be somewhat higher in the winter months and the
Company's funeral service locations generally experience a higher volume of
business during those months.
Since 1984, the Company has operated under the Federal Trade Commission's
("FTC") comprehensive trade regulation rule for the funeral industry. The rule
contains minimum guidelines for funeral industry practices, requires extensive
price and other affirmative disclosures and imposes mandatory itemization of
funeral goods and services. From time to time in connection with acquisitions,
the Company has entered into consent orders with the FTC that have required the
Company to dispose of certain operations to proceed with acquisitions or have
limited the Company's ability to make acquisitions in specified areas. The trade
regulation rule and the various consent orders have not had a materially adverse
effect on the Company's operations.
Cemeteries. The Company's cemeteries sell cemetery interment rights
(including mausoleum spaces and lawn crypts) and certain merchandise including
stone and bronze memorials and burial vaults. The Company's cemeteries also
perform interment services and provide management and maintenance of cemetery
grounds. Certain cemeteries also operate crematoria.
Cemetery sales are often made on a preneed basis pursuant to installment
contracts providing for monthly payments. A portion of the proceeds from
cemetery sales is generally required by law to be paid into perpetual care trust
funds. Earnings of perpetual care trust funds are used to defray the maintenance
cost of cemeteries. In addition, all or a portion of the proceeds from the sale
of preneed cemetery merchandise may be required by law to be paid into trust
until the merchandise is purchased on behalf of the customer. For additional
information regarding cemetery trust funds, see Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Death Care Industry. The funeral industry is characterized by a large
number of locally owned, independent operations. The Company believes that based
on the total number of funeral services performed in 1995, the Company,
including companies acquired by it, performed approximately 9%, 29%, 14% and 24%
of the funeral services in the North America, France, the United Kingdom and
Australia, respectively.
To compete successfully, the Company's funeral service locations must
maintain competitive prices, attractive, well-maintained and conveniently
located facilities, a good reputation and high professional standards. In
addition, heritage and tradition can provide an established funeral home with
the opportunity for repeat business from client families. Furthermore, an
established firm can generate future volume and revenues by marketing
prearranged funeral services.
The cemetery industry is also characterized by a large number of locally
owned independent operations. The Company's cemetery properties compete with
other cemeteries in the same general area. To compete successfully, the
Company's cemeteries must maintain competitive prices, attractive and
well-maintained properties, a good reputation, an effective sales force and high
professional standards.
FINANCIAL SERVICES OPERATION
Since 1988, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Provident Services, Inc.
("Provident"), has provided secured financing to independent funeral home and
cemetery operators. The majority of Provident's loans are made to clients
seeking to finance funeral home or cemetery acquisitions. Additionally,
Provident provides construction loans for funeral home or cemetery improvement
and expansion. Loan packages take traditional forms of secured financing
comparable to arrangements offered by leading commercial banks. Provident's
loans are generally made at interest rates which float with the prime lending
rate.
2
<PAGE> 4
Provident had $214 million in loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 and
unfunded loan commitments amounting to $28 million. Such loans outstanding
increased from $209 million in loans outstanding at December 31, 1994. Provident
obtains its funds primarily from the Company's variable interest rate bank
borrowings.
Provident is in competition with banks and other lending institutions, many
of which have substantially greater resources than Provident. However, Provident
believes that its knowledge of the death care industry provides it with the
ability to make more accurate assessments of funeral home and cemetery loans,
thereby providing Provident a competitive advantage in making such loans.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1995, the Company employed 19,824 (12,191 in the United
States) persons on a full time basis and 9,237 (6,012 in the United States)
persons on a part time basis. Of the full time employees, 19,342 were in the
Funeral and Cemetery Operations, eight were in Financial Services and 474 were
in corporate services. All of the Company's eligible United States employees who
so elect are covered by the Company's group health and life insurance plans, and
all eligible United States employees are participants in retirement plans of the
Company or various subsidiaries. Although labor disputes are experienced from
time to time, in general, relations with employees are considered satisfactory.
REGULATION
The Company's various operations are subject to regulations, supervision
and licensing under various federal, state, local and Australian, Canadian,
French, United Kingdom and other foreign statutes, ordinances and regulations.
The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with the significant
provisions of such statutes, ordinances and regulations. See discussion of FTC
funeral industry trade regulation and consent orders in "Funeral Service
Locations" above.
In May 1995, the Monopolies and Mergers Commission (the "Commission") of
the United Kingdom issued a report with respect to SCI's 1994 acquisition of
Plantsbrook Group plc that recommended that SCI divest of certain operations in
ten localities to achieve a competitive balance satisfactory to the Commission.
SCI is in negotiations with the Commission to settle the number of locations to
be divested. The Company believes compliance with such settlement will not have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations in the United Kingdom.
The French funeral services industry is currently undergoing significant
regulatory change. Historically, the French funeral services industry has been
controlled, as provided by national legislation, either (i) directly by
municipalities through municipality-operated funeral establishments ("Municipal
Monopoly"), or (ii) indirectly by the remaining municipalities that have
contracted for funeral service activities with third party providers, such as
SCI's French operations ("Exclusive Municipal Authority"). Legislation has been
passed that will generally end municipal control of the French funeral service
business and will allow the public to choose their funeral service provider.
Under such legislation, the Exclusive Municipal Authority was abolished in
January 1996, and the Municipal Monopolies will be eliminated by January 1998.
Cemeteries in France, however, are and will continue to be controlled by
municipalities and religious organizations, with third parties, such as SCI,
providing cemetery merchandise such as markers and monuments.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's executive headquarters are located at 1929 Allen Parkway,
Houston, Texas 77019, in a 12-story office building. A wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company owns an undivided one-half interest in the building and its
parking garage. The property consists of approximately 1.3 acres, 250,000 square
feet of office space in the building and 160,000 square feet of parking space in
the garage. The Company leases all of the office space in the building pursuant
to a lease that expires June 30, 2005 providing for monthly rent of $43,000
through July 2000 and $59,000 thereafter. The Company pays all operating
expenses. One half of the rent is paid to the wholly owned subsidiary and the
other half is paid to the owners of the remaining undivided one-half interest.
The Company owns and utilizes a three-story building at 1919 Allen Parkway,
Houston,
3
<PAGE> 5
Texas 77019 containing 43,000 square feet of office space. The Company also owns
the facilities of certain closed casket manufacturing operations.
At December 31, 1995, the Company owned the real estate and buildings of
2,380 of its funeral service and cemetery locations and leased facilities in
connection with 816 of such operations. In addition, the Company leased five
aircraft pursuant to cancelable leases. At December 31, 1995, the Company
operated 10,425 vehicles, of which 7,882 were owned and 2,543 were leased. For
additional information regarding leases, see Note 9 to the consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Company's 318 cemeteries contain an aggregate of approximately 22,639
acres, of which approximately 55% are developed.
The specialized nature of the Company's businesses requires that its
facilities be well maintained and kept in good condition. Management believes
that these standards are met.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Although the Company is involved in legal proceedings, the Company does not
believe that any of the proceedings is material pursuant to the standards set
forth in Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT AVERAGE SALES PRICES AND PER SHARE DATA)
The majority of the Company's funeral service locations and cemeteries are
managed in groups called clusters. Clusters are established primarily in
metropolitan areas to take advantage of operational efficiencies, particularly
the sharing of operating expenses such as service personnel, vehicles,
preparation services, clerical staff and certain building facility costs.
Personnel costs, the largest operating expense for the Company, is the cost
component most beneficially affected by clustering. The sharing of employees, as
well as the other costs mentioned, allow the Company to more efficiently utilize
its operating facilities due to the traditional fluctuation in the number of
funeral services and cemetery interments performed in a given period. The
Company's acquisitions are primarily located within existing cluster areas or
create new cluster area opportunities. The Company has successfully implemented
the cluster strategy in its North American, United Kingdom and Australian
operations and is proceeding with implementation in its recently acquired French
operations. The Company acquired a French funeral service company in August
1995 -- see note three to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has
approximately 269 clusters in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia,
which range in size from two operations to 73 operations. There may be more than
one cluster in a given metropolitan area, depending upon the level and degree of
shared costs.

</TABLE>
The $102,314 increase in revenues at existing clusters was primarily the
result of a 9.7% increase in North American funeral services performed (207,834
compared to 189,481) and a 3.9% higher average sales price ($3,638 compared to
$3,501). Included in this increase were $77,434 in increased revenues from
locations acquired since the beginning of 1994. The remaining revenue increase
of $24,880 was contributed by operations acquired before 1994. The death rate in
North America has remained relatively constant for several years and is expected
to remain at this rate for at least the near future; however, due to the
increasing proportion of people over age 65 in the North American population,
demand for funeral services could increase in the decades to come. It is
anticipated that the Company's near term revenue growth will continue to be
primarily generated from acquired operations (added to existing clusters and the
creation of new clusters) as well as from potentially higher average sales
prices from improved merchandising of funeral services and products and periodic
price increases. The Company anticipates continued growth through acquisitions
is likely although the level of acquisitions is not likely to match the previous
two years. The Company is the world's largest company in the funeral service
industry and currently performs approximately 9%, 29%, 14% and 24% of the
funeral services in North America, France, the United Kingdom and Australia,
respectively. The Company believes that there are several thousand potential
acquisition candidates in North America. Additionally, the Company's recent
United Kingdom and French acquisitions demonstrate an increased focus on
international acquisition opportunities.
The France and other foreign operations represent approximately four months
of Company ownership, while the 1994 United Kingdom operations represent
approximately four months of Company ownership.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company sold approximately
$371,000 of prearranged funeral services compared to approximately $245,000 for
the same period in 1994. The Company also acquired approximately $508,000 of
deferred revenues associated with prearranged funerals in the 1995 French
acquisition. These prearranged funeral services are deferred and will be
reflected in funeral revenues in the periods that the funeral services are
performed. The current emphasis on sales of prearranged funerals is expected to
continue.

The total gross profit for existing clusters increased to $275,831 in 1995
from $243,347 in 1994, while the related gross profit margin percentage for
existing clusters declined slightly to 34.3% from 34.7% last year. Acquisitions
since the beginning of 1994, included in existing clusters, accounted for
$19,905 of the existing gross profit increase and were the primary reason for
the existing cluster gross profit margin decline. Typically, acquisitions will
temporarily exhibit slightly lower gross profit margins than those experienced
by the Company's existing locations at least until such time as these locations
are assimilated into the Company's cluster management strategy. This was
especially noticeable given the large number of acquired operations incorporated
into existing clusters in 1995 and 1994. The gross profit margin for those
funeral operations in existing clusters that were acquired before 1994 increased
to 36.0% in 1995 from 35.5% last year due to the increased revenues discussed
above without a corresponding percentage increase in personnel and other
operating costs.
Contributing to the overall funeral gross profit margin decline (25.3%
compared to 29.5% last year) were the Company's United Kingdom and French
operations. The Company's United Kingdom operations had a gross profit margin of
22.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to 23.9% in 1994 (four
months of ownership). French operations had a gross profit margin of 12.4% in
1995 (four months of ownership). These margins are consistent with the Company's
expectations for its European funeral operations which have historically
produced lower gross margins than the Company's operations in North America and
Australia. Administrative overhead costs expressed as a percentage of revenues
declined in 1995 to 3.2%, compared to 3.8% last year.

Revenues for existing clusters increased due to an increased volume of
sales and higher average sales prices for property and merchandise. Included in
the existing cluster increase were $38,157 in increased revenues from cemeteries
acquired since the beginning of 1994. The Company plans to continue to emphasize
the selling of preneed cemetery property and merchandise by maintaining an
active and well-trained sales force. Additionally, future growth through
acquisitions is considered likely.

Costs at existing clusters increased $53,481 due primarily to an increase
of $26,404 from cemeteries acquired since the beginning of 1994, while costs
from existing cluster cemeteries acquired before 1994 increased $27,077. The
overall cemetery gross profit margin increased to 34.6% in 1995 from 32.1% last
year. This increase reflects strong growth in sales of preneed cemetery property
and merchandise as well as continued cost control in all major expense
categories. Administrative overhead costs have decreased to 3.8% of revenues
this year compared to 5.1% last year. The Company believes that the overall
cemetery gross profit margin may decline slightly in 1996 from the level
reported in 1995, due primarily to the lower gross profit

margins achieved by the large number of cemetery acquisitions late in 1995.
Acquisitions typically have lower gross profit margins, at least until such time
that they are assimilated into the Company's cluster management strategy and
preneed selling programs are fully implemented.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company's wholly-owned finance subsidiary, Provident Services, Inc.
("Provident") reported an improved interest rate spread offset by higher
administrative expenses. The average outstanding loan portfolio during the
current year was approximately $206,000 with an average interest rate spread of
3.7% compared to approximately $235,000 and 3.4%, respectively, last year.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Expressed as a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
were 3.2% in 1995 compared to 4.6% last year. These expenses increased by $1,900
or 3.7% during the year primarily from corporate transportation and travel costs
partially offset by decreased professional fees and other corporate expenses.
Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $38,025 or 47.5% during the current year primarily
from incremental borrowings incurred to fund the Company's international
acquisition program. Of the 1995 increase, approximately $27,000 is the result
of financings for the United Kingdom acquisition and represents a full year of
interest compared to only four months in 1994. Approximately $10,000 of the
remaining increase is due to debt related to the French acquisition in late
August 1995.
The provision for income taxes reflected a 37.6% effective tax rate for
1995 as compared to a 40.2% effective tax rate in the prior year. The decrease
in the effective tax rate is due primarily to lower taxes from international
operations.

The $65,134 increase in revenues at existing clusters was the result of an
8.0% increase in funeral services performed (175,284 compared to 162,287) and a
3.3% higher average sales price ($3,579 compared to $3,464). Included in this
increase were $46,896 in increased revenues from locations acquired since the
beginning of 1993.
The majority of new cluster revenue represents the Company's Australian
operations which contributed $29,042 of the increase. The Company began
operations in Australia in the latter half of 1993. The United Kingdom
operations represent approximately four months of Company ownership.
During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company sold approximately
$245,000 of prearranged funeral services compared to approximately $159,000 for

Costs at existing clusters increased $23,739 due to an increase of $12,296
from cemeteries acquired since the beginning of 1993. Costs from existing
cluster cemeteries acquired before 1993 increased $11,443 due to the costs
associated with the increased revenues discussed above. The majority of new
cluster costs represent the Company's Australian operations which contributed
$4,914 of the increase.
The overall cemetery gross profit margin increase to 32.1% from 28.4% in
1993 reflects the strong revenue growth as well as continued cost control in all
major expense categories. Administrative overhead costs have decreased to 5.1%
of revenues in 1994 compared to 5.9% in 1993.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Provident reported a slightly improved interest rate spread and reduced
administrative expense, when expressed as a percentage of revenue, which
increased the gross profit margin percentage to 43.5% in 1994 from 41.4% in
1993. The average outstanding loan portfolio during 1994 was approximately

were 4.6% in 1994 compared to 4.9% in 1993. These expenses increased by $7,994
or 18.3% during 1994. Of the increase, $2,811 was attributable to personnel
expenses primarily relating to incentive compensation and retirement plan costs.

Professional fees increased $3,817 in 1994 primarily from legal costs associated
with the informal investigation of the Company by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Company's change of accountants in 1993
and the Company's Form 8-K dated March 31, 1993, as amended in April 1993,
reporting such change. The remainder of the increase was derived primarily from
corporate transportation and travel costs.
Interest expense, which excludes the amount incurred through financial
service operations, increased $20,492 or 34.4% during 1994 primarily from
borrowings incurred to fund the Company's ongoing acquisition program. Increased
borrowings and higher interest rates incurred under the existing lines of credit
and commercial paper added $7,759. Also contributing to the increase was the
recognition of $8,311 in interest expense associated with the 1994 acquisitions
in the United Kingdom, $2,909 in increased interest expense from the Company's
various debenture issues and $838 from the December 1994 issuance of $200,000 in
8.375% notes.
Other income (expense) declined in 1994 primarily from fewer sales of
excess real estate and businesses.
The provision for income taxes reflected a 40.2% effective tax rate for
1994 as compared to a 40.6% effective tax rate in 1993.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY AT DECEMBER 31, 1995:
GENERAL
Historically, the Company has funded its working capital needs and capital
expenditures primarily through cash provided by operating activities and
borrowings under bank revolving credit agreements and commercial paper. Funding
required for the Company's acquisition program has been generated through public
and private offerings of debt and the issuance of equity securities supplemented
by the Company's revolving credit agreements and additional securities
registered with the SEC. The Company believes cash from operations, additional
funds available under its revolving credit agreements, proceeds from offerings
of securities and the other registered securities will be sufficient to continue
its current acquisition program and operating policies.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $45,527 and a
current ratio of 1.08:1, compared to working capital of $120,246 and a current
ratio of 1.25:1 at December 31, 1994. The cash balance at December 31, 1994
included net proceeds from the Company's December 1994 public offerings which
were used in the first quarter of 1995 to repay bank debt associated with the
1994 United Kingdom acquisitions.
OCTOBER 1995 PUBLIC OFFERINGS
In October 1995, the Company issued 8,395,000 shares of common stock at a
net offering price of $37.30 per share through an underwritten public offering.
Also, in October 1995, the Company issued $300,000 of notes which were also sold
through an underwritten public offering. These notes were issued in two tranches
of $150,000 each with maturities in 2000 and 2007 and interest rates of 6.375%
and 6.875%, respectively. All of these offerings were issued pursuant to a
$1,000,000 shelf registration from September 1995. The net proceeds of
approximately $613,000 from the October 1995 offerings were used primarily to
repay amounts borrowed under the Company's French revolving credit agreement
(such borrowings had been used to purchase the French funeral service
operations) and the Company's other existing revolving credit agreements.
REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS
The Company's primary revolving credit agreement allows for borrowings of
up to $800,000. One portion is a 364-day facility that allows for borrowings of
up to $450,000, which is used to primarily support commercial paper. This
facility expires June 28, 1996, but has provisions to be extended for 364-day
terms. At the end of any term, the outstanding balance may be converted into a
two year term loan at the Company's option. At December 31, 1995 there was
$20,000 of commercial paper outstanding backed by this agreement. The second
portion represents a multi-currency revolving credit agreement that allows
borrowings of up to
15
<PAGE> 17
$350,000, including up to $75,000 each in Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and
Australian Dollar. This facility expires June 30, 2000, but has provisions to
extend the termination date each year for 364-day periods. At December 31, 1995,
$95,176 was outstanding under the multi-currency agreement.
In August 1995, the Company entered into a French revolving credit
agreement with a 364-day term which currently allows for borrowings up to
$150,000. At December 31, 1995, $99,095 was outstanding under this agreement.
DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into derivatives in the form of interest rate swaps and
cross-currency interest rate swaps in order to manage its mix of fixed and
floating rate debt and to substantially hedge the Company's net investment in
foreign assets. Accordingly, movements in currency rates that impact the swaps
are generally offset by a corresponding movement in the value of the underlying
assets being hedged and movements in interest rates that impact the fair value
of the interest rate swaps are generally offset by a corresponding movement in
the value of the underlying debt being hedged. Similarly, currency movements
that impact foreign interest expense due under the cross-currency interest rate
swaps are generally offset by a corresponding movement in the earnings of the
foreign operation.
In general, interest rates are managed such that up to 50% of the total
debt (excluding debt which offsets the Provident loan receivable portfolio) is
floating rate and thus is sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. After giving
effect to the interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps discussed
more fully in notes two and seven to the Company's consolidated financial
statements, the Company's total debt has been converted into approximately
$1,338,000 of fixed interest rate debt at a weighted average rate of 7.96% and
approximately $516,000 of floating interest rate debt at a weighted average rate
of 6.75%. Based on short-term rates at December 31, 1995 and the related debt or
swaps outstanding subject thereto, a two percent increase in the various
floating rate indices referenced in the debt and swaps would cause a $10,293 net
increase in interest expense. This impact is mitigated by the Provident loan
receivable portfolio which generally carries floating rates. Thus, the Company's
overall sensitivity to floating interest rate fluctuations on amounts owed is
offset by a corresponding higher interest rate on the receivables issued by
Provident (approximately $214,000 in receivables at December 31, 1995).
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The death care industries in countries where the Company has foreign
operations are generally stable and have had predictable cash flows. In
addition, those countries have not had highly inflationary economies. The
Company believes, due to foreign currency hedges described above, that the
effects of foreign currency translations have been mitigated.
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating
activities was $90,704 for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to
$162,444 for the same period in 1994, a decrease of $71,740. This decrease was
due partially to an increase in net receivables resulting from increased sales
of funeral services and cemetery products and merchandise. Additionally, cash
flows relating to prearranged funeral activities decreased due to the timing of
cash payments and withdrawals to and from trusts and increased cash outlays on
marketing efforts. These decreases were offset by improved operating results in
1995.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities
was $844,341 for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to $756,227 for the
same period in 1994. This increase reflects the Company's aggressive acquisition
of funeral service locations and cemeteries. During the year ended December 31,
1995, $693,627 of cash was used for acquisitions. The effect of acquisitions is
detailed in note three to the consolidated financial statements. In addition to
acquisitions, capital expenditures including new construction of facilities and
major improvements to existing properties, continue to require significant
amounts of cash. Cash used for capital expenditures was $125,231 during the year
ended December 31, 1995.
16
<PAGE> 18
Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing
activities was $565,031 for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to
$791,302 for the same period in 1994. During 1995, cash inflows included
$862,848 of proceeds from issuances of long-term debt (issued in public and
private offerings) and $331,063 of proceeds from issuances of Company common
stock compared to $562,226 of public offerings last year. In 1995, cash outflows
included $179,636 of scheduled long-term debt payments and cash dividend
payments compared to $67,909 last year. Other cash outflows during 1995 included
a $453,959 net decrease in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
agreements. In 1994, the Company had a net increase of $295,570 from revolving
credit agreements. See notes six and eleven to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company believes that debt service has no adverse effect on its
operations or financing activities at the current levels of debt outstanding. As
of December 31, 1995, the Company's debt to capitalization ratio was 46.3%
compared to 54.0% at December 31, 1994. The interest rate coverage ratio for the
year ended December 31, 1995 was 3.11:1, compared to 3.42:1 for the same period
in 1994. This interest rate coverage level has been relatively consistent,
despite higher levels of debt outstanding, for several years. The Company
believes that the acquisition of funeral and cemetery operations funded with
debt or Company common stock is a prudent business strategy given the stable
cash flow generated and the low failure rate exhibited by these types of
businesses. The Company believes these acquired firms are capable of servicing
the additional debt and providing a sufficient return on the Company's
investment.
The Company expects adequate sources of funds to be available to finance
its future operations and acquisitions through internally generated funds,
borrowings under credit facilities and the issuance of securities. At December
31, 1995, the Company had approximately $430,000 and $255,000 of available
borrowings under its primary and multi-currency credit facilities, respectively.
In addition, as of December 31, 1995, the Company had the ability to issue
$387,000 in securities under the September 1995 shelf registration as well as
7,527,000 shares of common stock and a total of $34,753 of guaranteed promissory
notes and convertible debentures registered with the SEC under a separate shelf
registration to be used exclusively for future acquisitions.
PREARRANGED FUNERAL SERVICES
The Company has a marketing program to sell prearranged funeral contracts
and the funds collected are generally held in trust or are used to purchase a
life insurance or annuity contract. The principal amount of these prearranged
funeral contracts will be received in cash by a Company funeral service location
at the time the funeral is performed. Earnings on trust funds and increasing
benefits under insurance funded contracts also increase the amount of cash to be
received upon performance of the funeral and are intended to cover future
increases in the cost of providing a price guaranteed funeral service. Marketing
costs incurred with the sale of prearranged funeral contracts are a current use
of cash which is partially offset with cash retained, pursuant to state laws,
from amounts trusted and certain commissions earned by the Company for sales of
insurance products issued by third party insurers. The Company sells prearranged
funerals in most of its service markets including its foreign markets. Auxia,
the Company's French life insurance subsidiary, primarily sells insurance
products used to fund prearranged funerals to be performed at the Company's
French funeral service locations. The Company believes prearrangements add
stability to the funeral service industry and will stimulate future revenue
growth. Prearranged funeral services fulfilled as a percent of the total North
American funerals performed annually approximates 22% and is expected to grow,
thereby making the total number of funerals performed more predictable.
CREMATIONS
In recent years there has been steady, gradual growth in the number of
cremations that have been chosen as an alternative to traditional methods of
disposal of human remains. According to industry studies, cremations currently
account for approximately 20% of all dispositions in the United States. The
Company's North American operations perform substantially more cremations than
the national average. In 1995, slightly over 32% of all families served by the
Company's North American funeral service locations selected the cremation
alternative. The Company has a significant number of operating locations in
Florida and the west coast of North America where the cremation alternative
continues to gain acceptance. Based on industry
17
<PAGE> 19
studies, the Company believes that cremations account for approximately 60-70%
of all dispositions of human remains in Australia and the United Kingdom. It is
estimated that cremations account for approximately 11% of all dispositions of
human remains in France. Though a cremation typically results in less sales
dollars than a traditional funeral service, the Company believes that funeral
operations which are predominantly cremation businesses typically have higher
gross profit margin percentages than those exhibited at traditional funeral
operations. The Company believes that the memorialization of cremated remains
represents a source of revenue growth. Since the number of cremations is
increasing, the Company is emphasizing the marketing of memorialization
alternatives.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121") in the first quarter of 1996. FAS 121 attempts to
standardize methods used to determine whether the costs of long-lived assets
will be recovered, and how such costs should be tested for value impairment. The
Company has not experienced impairment of its assets, including names and
reputations, in the past and does not anticipate that FAS 121 will have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations in
the future. In addition, in the first quarter of 1996, the Company plans to
adopt the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). FAS 123
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Service Corporation International
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Service
Corporation International as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. We have also audited
the financial statement schedule for the three years ended December 31, 1995,
listed in the index at item 8 of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and
the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Service
Corporation International as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein.
As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for prearranged
funeral contracts and cemetery sales.

NOTE ONE
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is the largest provider of death care services in the world. At
December 31, 1995, the Company operated 2,739 funeral service locations, 318
cemeteries and 139 crematoria located in North America, Europe and Australia.
The funeral service locations and cemetery operations consist of the
Company's funeral homes, cemeteries, crematoria and related businesses. The
funeral service locations provide all professional services relating to
funerals, including the use of funeral facilities and motor vehicles. Funeral
homes sell funeral related merchandise and certain funeral service locations
contain crematoria. The Company markets prearranged funeral services whereby a
customer contractually agrees to the terms of a funeral to be performed in the
future. The Company's cemeteries sell cemetery interment rights (including
mausoleum spaces and lawn crypts) and certain merchandise including stone and
bronze memorials and burial vaults. Cemeteries also perform interment services
and provide management and maintenance of cemetery grounds. Certain cemeteries
also operate crematoria.
The Company's financial services operations consist of a finance
subsidiary, Provident Services, Inc. ("Provident"). Provident provides capital
financing to independent funeral home and cemetery operators.
NOTE TWO
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Service Corporation International and all majority-owned
subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
years to conform to current period presentation.
Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Inventories and Cemetery Property: Funeral merchandise and cemetery
property and merchandise, are stated at cost, which is not in excess of market,
determined using average cost.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation of property, plant and
equipment is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful
lives of the various classes of assets. Property, plant and equipment are
depreciated over a period ranging from seven to 50 years for property and plant
while equipment is depreciated over a period from three to 20 years. For the
three years ended December 31, 1995, depreciation expense was $52,828, $35,546
and $26,757, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
whereas renewals and major replacements are capitalized. Prepaid management,
consultative and non-competition agreements, primarily with former owners and
key employees of businesses acquired are amortized over the lives of the
respective contracts.
Funeral Operations: Funeral revenue is recognized when the funeral service
is performed. The Company's trade receivables consist primarily of funeral
services already performed. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided
based on historical experience.
The Company sells price guaranteed prearranged funeral contracts through
various programs providing for future funeral services at prices prevailing when
the agreement is signed. Payments under these contracts are generally placed in
trust (pursuant to state law) or are used to pay premiums on life insurance
policies issued by third party insurers in North America, the United Kingdom and
Australia or the Company's French prearranged funeral service life insurance
subsidiary ("Auxia") which was acquired in the 1995 French
25
<PAGE> 27
SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
acquisition (see note three). Unperformed price guaranteed prearranged funeral
contracts are included in the consolidated balance sheet as "prearranged funeral
contracts" or, in the case of contracts funded by Auxia, "investments-insurance
subsidiary". A corresponding credit is recorded to "deferred prearranged funeral
contract revenues". Allowances for customer cancellations are provided at the
date of sale.
Prearranged funeral trust earnings and increasing insurance benefits are
accrued and deferred until the service is performed and are intended to cover
future increases in the cost of providing a price guaranteed funeral service.
Included in deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues are net obtaining
costs, including sales commissions and certain other direct marketing costs,
applicable to prearranged funeral contracts which are deferred and will be
expensed over a period representing the average life of the prearranged
contract. The aggregate net costs deferred as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$87,638 and $53,962, respectively.
Cemetery Operations: All cemetery interment right sales, together with
associated merchandise, are recorded to income at the time contracts are signed.
Costs related to the sales of interment rights include property and other costs
related to cemetery development activities which are charged to operations using
the specific identification method. Allowances for customer cancellations are
provided at the date of sale based upon historical experience. Costs related to
merchandise are based on actual costs incurred or estimates of future costs
necessary to purchase the merchandise, including provisions for inflation when
required. Pursuant to state law, all or a portion of the proceeds from the sale
of cemetery merchandise may also be required to be paid into trust funds until
such merchandise is purchased by the Company for the customer. Merchandise funds
trusted at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $314,400 and $176,071, respectively,
which approximates fair value. The Company recognizes accrued trust income on
these merchandise trusts in current cemetery revenues as trust earnings accrue
to defray inflation costs recognized related to the unpurchased cemetery
merchandise. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of cemetery
property is required by state law to be paid into perpetual care trust funds.
Earnings from these trusts are recognized in current cemetery revenues and are
intended to defray cemetery maintenance costs. Perpetual care funds trusted at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $242,449 and $216,706, respectively, which
approximates fair value. The principal of such perpetual care trust funds
generally cannot be withdrawn by the Company and therefore is not included in
the consolidated balance sheet. For the three years ended December 31, 1995, the
earnings recognized from all cemetery trusts were $33,795, $24,456 and $23,721,
respectively.
Names and Reputations: The excess of purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired in transactions accounted for as a purchase are
included in "Names and reputations" and generally amortized on a straight line
basis over 40 years which, in the opinion of management, is not necessarily the
maximum period benefited. Fair values determined at the date of acquisition are
determined by management or independent appraisals. Many of the Company's
acquired funeral service locations have been providing high quality service to
client families for many years. Such loyalty often forms the basic valuation of
the funeral business. Additionally, the death care industry has historically
exhibited stable cash flows as well as a low non-failure rate. The Company
monitors the recoverability of names and reputations based on projections of
future undiscounted cash flows of the acquired businesses. The amortization
charged against income was $25,226, $15,495 and $10,339 for the three years
ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Accumulated amortization of names and
reputations as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $77,855 and $52,290,
respectively.
Derivatives: The Company enters into derivatives in the form of interest
rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps in order to manage its mix of
fixed and floating rate debt and to substantially hedge the Company's net
investments in foreign assets. The Company has procedures in place to monitor
and control the use of derivatives and enters into transactions only with a
limited group of credit worthy financial institutions. The Company does not
engage in derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes, nor is it
a party to leveraged derivatives.
In general, cross-currency swaps are entered into concurrently with
significant foreign acquisitions and convert U.S. dollar debt into the
respective foreign currency of the acquisitions. Such cross-currency swaps are
26
<PAGE> 28
SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
used in combination with local currency borrowings to substantially hedge the
Company's net investment in foreign operations. The cross-currency swaps
generally include interest rate provisions to enable the Company to additionally
hedge a portion of the earnings of its foreign operations. Accordingly,
movements in currency rates that impact the swap are generally offset by a
corresponding movement in the value of the underlying assets being hedged.
Similarly, currency movements that impact foreign expense due under the
cross-currency interest rate swaps are generally offset by a corresponding
movement in the earnings of the foreign operation (see note seven).
Interest rate swap settlements are generally semi-annual and match the
coupon settlements of the underlying debt being hedged or related intercompany
loan payments from the foreign operation. Amounts to be paid or received under
interest rate swaps, including the interest rate provisions of the
cross-currency swaps, are recorded on the accrual basis over the life of the
swap agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. The related net amounts
payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties are included in accrued
liabilities or current receivables, respectively. In the cross-currency swaps,
the notional amount is exchangeable in accordance with the terms of the swaps:
at maturity for non-amortizing swaps or according to a defined amortization
table for swaps which are amortizing. Gains and losses resulting from currency
movements on the cross-currency swaps that hedge the Company's net foreign
investments are reflected in stockholders' equity, with the related net amounts
due to, or from, the counterparties included in other liabilities, or other
assets, respectively. Net deferred gains and losses on early termination of
interest rate swaps are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining
lives of the original agreements ($2,193 net unamortized loss at December 31,
1995).
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE THREE
ACQUISITIONS
On August 25, 1995, the Company acquired an approximate 51% interest in
Omnium de Gestion et de Financement S.A. ("OGF"). OGF, in turn, owned
approximately 65% of Pompes Funebres Generales S.A. ("PFG"). OGF and PFG, when
combined, is the largest funeral service organization in Europe, operating 1,099
funeral service locations, 28 crematoria and Auxia which primarily sells
insurance policies in connection with OGF/PFG's prearranged funeral business. On
December 31, 1995, the Company owned shares representing over 98% of OGF and
over 96% of PFG with the intent to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of
both companies. The total purchase price for OGF and the portion of PFG not
owned by OGF is expected to be approximately $577,000 consisting of cash and
debt assumed. Financing for this acquisition was initially provided by
borrowings under a short-term French revolving credit facility, with permanent
financing provided by issuances of notes and Company common stock in October
1995 (see notes six and eleven). OGF/PFG was accounted for as a purchase and the
results of operations have been consolidated with the Company's since August 25,
1995.
On October 11, 1995, the Company purchased Gibraltar Mausoleum Corporation
("Gibraltar"). Gibraltar, a private funeral and cemetery company based in
Indianapolis, owned 23 funeral service locations and 54 cemeteries. The purchase
price of approximately $267,000 was financed through the issuance of securities
under the Company's acquisition shelf registration and borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facilities.

In 1994 the Company acquired the two largest publicly-traded funeral
service providers in the United Kingdom, Great Southern Group plc and
Plantsbrook Group plc. These firms owned a combined 534 funeral service
locations, 13 crematoria and two cemeteries. The purchase price of approximately
$508,000 was primarily funded by borrowings under two short-term bank facilities
in the United Kingdom (subsequently repaid or refinanced with long-term
securities in early 1995), other revolving credit borrowings and debt assumed by
the Company. Both acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results
of operations have been consolidated with the Company since September 1, 1994.
In addition to the acquisitions disclosed above, the Company has acquired
certain other funeral and cemetery operations during the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994. The operating results of all of these acquisitions have been
included since their respective dates of acquisitions.
The following table is a summary of the above acquisitions made during the
two years ended December 31, 1995 accounted for as purchases:

</TABLE>
The purchase price in both years consisted primarily of combinations of
cash, Company common stock, issued and assumed debt and the retirement of loans
receivable issued by Provident.
In addition on September 5, 1995, the Company acquired the shares of
Service Corporation International (Canada) Limited ("SCIC") not already owned by
the Company. This transaction eliminated the approximate 31% minority interest
ownership of SCIC and made SCIC a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On
that date SCIC owned 75 funeral service locations and three cemeteries. The
purchase price of approximately $62,578 was financed through borrowings under
the Company's existing revolving credit agreements, with permanent financing
provided by the issuance of an amortizing note in December 1995.
The effect of the above acquisitions on the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, was as follows:

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the acquisition
by the Company of all operations acquired during the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 took place on January 1, 1994 (1,937 funeral service locations,
127 cemeteries and 54 crematoria acquired in 158 separate transactions.) This
information also assumes that the net proceeds from the Company's December 1994
public offerings of Company common stock, 8.375% notes and convertible preferred
securities of SCI Finance LLC and October 1995 public offerings of notes and
Company common stock (disclosed in notes six and eleven) were issued at the
beginning of 1994. The net proceeds of the December 1994 public offerings were
first applied toward the purchase price of the Company's September 1994
acquisitions in the United Kingdom, with the excess net proceeds used to repay
amounts outstanding under the Company's existing revolving credit facilities.
The net proceeds of the October 1995 public offerings were first applied toward

During the three years ended December 31, 1995, tax expense resulting from

Current refundable income taxes and foreign current deferred tax assets are
included in other current assets, with current taxes payable and current
deferred taxes being reflected as "Income taxes" on the consolidated balance
sheet.
United States income taxes have not been provided on $87,912 of
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries since it is the Company's
intention to reinvest such earnings indefinitely.
As of December 31, 1995 the Company has United States foreign tax credit
carry-forwards of $5,509 and worldwide net operating loss carry-forwards of
$4,108 principally related to acquired subsidiaries which will expire in the
years 1996 through 2010.
Various subsidiaries have state operating loss carry-forwards of $30,825
with expiration dates through 2010.
The Company believes that some uncertainty exists with respect to future
realization of these tax credits and loss carry-forwards, therefore a valuation
allowance has been established for the carry-forwards not expected to be
realized. The increase in the valuation allowance is primarily attributable to
the foreign tax credits.
Actual cash disbursements for income taxes and other tax assessments during
the three years ended December 31, 1995, totaled $65,859, $69,555 and $46,557,

The Company's primary revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings up
to $800,000. The 364-day portion allows for borrowings up to $450,000, and is
used primarily to support commercial paper. The agreement expires June 28, 1996,
but has provisions to be extended for 364-day terms. At the end of any term, the
outstanding balance may be converted into a two year term loan at the Company's
option. Interest rates are based on various indices as determined by the
Company. In addition, a facility fee ranging from .06% to .15% is paid quarterly
on the total commitment amount. At December 31, 1995, there was $20,000 of
commercial paper outstanding backed by this agreement at a weighted average
interest rate of 5.98%. In addition, the Company has a multi-currency revolving
credit agreement which allows for borrowings of up to $350,000, including up to
$75,000 each in Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. This
agreement expires June 30, 2000, but has provisions to extend the termination
date each year for 364-day periods. Interest rates are based on various indices
as determined by the Company. In addition, a facility fee ranging from .085% to
.15% is paid quarterly on the total commitment amount. At December 31, 1995,
there was $95,176 outstanding under this agreement at a weighted average
interest rate of 7.12%. These credit agreements disclosed above contain
financial compliance provisions that contain certain restrictions on levels of
net worth, debt, equity, liens, letters of credit and guarantees.
The Company's outstanding commercial paper and other borrowings under its
various credit facilities at December 31, 1995 are classified as long-term debt.
It is the Company's intent to refinance such borrowings through the use of its
credit agreements or other long-term notes issued under the Company's shelf
registration.

In August 1995, the Company entered into a French revolving credit
agreement with a 364-day term which currently allows for borrowings, in French
francs, up to $150,000. Borrowings under the facility were used to provide short
term financing for the purchase of OGF/PFG. Interest rates are based on various
indices as determined by the Company. In addition, a facility fee of .075% is
paid quarterly on the total commitment amount. At December 31, 1995, $99,095 was
outstanding under this agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 5.78%.
The Company also has a bank line of credit for $100,000 (no borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 1995) at rates similar to the primary revolving
credit agreements. This line may be withdrawn at any time at the option of the
bank. Additionally, the Company has approximately $64,000 in lines of credit
with several international banks and at December 31, 1995, $12,340 was borrowed
under these international lines of credit. All borrowings under the Company's
various lines of credit are included in long-term debt.
In October 1995, the Company issued $300,000 of notes which were sold
through an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Company's $1,000,000
shelf registration that became effective in September 1995. These notes were
issued in two tranches of $150,000 each with maturities in October 2000 and 2007
and interest rates of 6.375% and 6.875%, respectively. The net proceeds from
this offering were used primarily to finance the Company's acquisition of
OGF/PFG.
In January 1995, the Company issued $199,011 of 8.72% fixed rate, seven
year amortizing notes through a private offering. The net proceeds from this
offering were used to finance the Company's 1994 United Kingdom acquisitions.
In December 1994, the Company issued, through an underwritten public
offering, $200,000 in 8.375% notes at an original discount price of 99.247%. The
notes are considered senior debt and are not redeemable by the Company prior to
maturity. The Company used the net proceeds of this issue to repay existing debt
outstanding under the Company's bank revolving credit agreements.
In December 1995, the Company issued $63,837 of 6.95% fixed rate, fifteen
year amortizing notes through a private offering. The net proceeds from this
offering were used to finance the Company's purchase of the minority interest of
SCIC.
The $150,000 of 7.875% debentures were issued in February 1993 and are
considered senior debt and are not redeemable prior to maturity.
In June 1995, the Company issued $300,000, 7% notes due in June 2015. The
holders of the notes have the right to require the Company to redeem such notes,
in whole or in part, on June 1, 2002 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued unpaid interest. The net
proceeds of the notes were used to repay existing amounts outstanding under the
Company's existing revolving credit facilities or to retire commercial paper
backed by such facilities.
The Company has outstanding $186,040 in medium term notes with maturities
from two to 24 years which are not callable prior to maturity. The average
remaining maturity for the notes is approximately 15 years.
At December 31, 1995, other debt and current maturities include $53,500 of
promissory notes issued in the Gibraltar purchase. These notes were repaid in
January 1996. At December 31, 1994, current maturities include $204,759 (6.16%
weighted average interest rate) of bank borrowings used in the United Kingdom
acquisitions that were repaid during the first quarter of 1995.
Some of the Company's facilities and cemetery properties are pledged as
collateral for the mortgage notes.
Additionally, at December 31, 1995, the Company had $40,519 letters of
credit outstanding primarily to guarantee funding of certain insurance claims.

The aggregate principal payments on debt for the five years subsequent to
December 31, 1995, excluding amounts due to banks under revolving credit loan
agreements are: 1996 -- $122,237; 1997 -- $76,149; 1998 -- $38,979;
1999 -- $41,519 and 2000 -- $201,069.
Cash interest payments for the three years ended December 31, 1995 totaled
$111,609, $77,334 and $61,062, respectively.
In general, interest rates are managed such that up to 50% of the total
debt (excluding debt which offsets the Provident loan receivable portfolio) is
floating rate debt and therefore is sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
After giving effect to the interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps
discussed in notes two and seven, the Company's total debt has been converted
into approximately $1,338,000 of fixed rate debt at a weighted average rate of
7.96% and approximately $516,000 of floating rate debt at a weighted average
rate of 6.75%.

The net fair value of the Company's various swap agreements at December 31,
1995 is $34,905. Fair values were obtained from counterparties to the agreements
and represent their estimate of the amount the Company would receive to
terminate the swap agreements based upon the existing terms and current market
conditions. At December 31, 1994, the net fair value was a payable owed by the
Company of $15,200. The fair value of the Company's swap agreements may vary
substantially with changes in interest and currency rates. At December 31, 1995,
the Company's credit exposure is limited to the sum of the fair value of
positions that have become favorable to the Company and any accrued interest
receivable due from counterparties. Potential credit exposure is dependent upon
the maximum adverse impact of interest and currency movement. Such potential
credit exposure is minimized by selection of counterparties from a limited group
of high quality institutions and certain contract provisions. Management
believes that any credit exposure with respect to this and other favorable
positions is remote.

Provident is a party to financial instruments with potential credit risk.
The financial instruments result from loans made in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of borrowers who are principally
independent funeral and cemetery operators. These financial instruments also
include loan commitments of $28,319 at December 31, 1995 ($10,068 at December
31, 1994) to extend credit. Provident's total loans outstanding at December 31,
1995 were approximately $214,000 and include a loan in the amount of $100,143 to
one customer. Although this represents a concentration of credit risk, the
Company believes no significant credit risk exists. Provident evaluates each
borrower's credit worthiness and the amount loaned and collateral obtained, if
any, is determined by this evaluation.
The Company grants credit in the normal course of business and the credit
risk with respect to these trade, cemetery and prearranged funeral receivables
due from customers is generally considered minimal because of the wide
dispersion of the customers served. Procedures are in effect to monitor the
credit worthiness of customers and bad debts have not been significant in
relation to the volume of revenues.
Customer payments on prearranged funeral contracts that are placed in state
regulated trusts or used to pay premiums on life insurance contracts generally
do not subject the Company to collection risk. Insurance funded contracts are
subject to supervision by state insurance departments and are protected in the
majority of states by insurance guaranty acts.
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments has been determined by the Company using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate
fair values due to the short term maturities of these instruments. It is not
practicable to estimate the fair value of receivables due on cemetery contracts
without incurring excessive costs because of the large number of individual
contracts with varying terms. The carrying amounts of prearranged funeral
contracts and the related deferred prearranged funeral revenue approximate their
fair value.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's fixed rate long-term
obligations as of December 31, were as follows:

The fair value of the above long-term borrowings was estimated by
discounting the future cash flows, including interest payments, using rates
currently available for debt of similar terms and maturity, based on the
Company's credit standing and other market factors. The carrying value of the
revolving credit agreements approximate fair value because the rates on such
agreements are variable, based on current market conditions.

DEFERRED PREARRANGED FUNERAL CONTRACT REVENUES
"Deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues" on the consolidated
balance sheet includes the contract amount of all price guaranteed prearranged
funeral service contracts as well as the accrued trust earnings and increasing
insurance benefits earned through December 31, 1995. The Company will continue
to defer additional accruals of trust earnings and insurance benefits as they
are earned until the performance of the funeral service. Upon performance of the
funeral service, the Company will recognize the fixed contract price as well as
total accumulated trust earnings and increasing insurance benefits as funeral
revenues.
The recognition in future funeral revenues is estimated to occur in the
following years based on actuarial assumptions as follows:

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SCI FINANCE LLC
In December 1994 SCI Finance LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, issued,
through an underwritten public offering, 3,450,000 shares of 6.25% convertible
preferred shares. These shares are non-voting, carry a liquidation value of $50
per share and are convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of
$30.09 per share at any time unless previously redeemed. Liquidation may occur
after December 5, 1999 unless earlier redemption is permitted based on Company
common stock price performance. The proceeds from this offering were used in
1995 to repay bank debt incurred in connection with the United Kingdom
acquisitions.
NOTE ELEVEN
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1
per share par value. No shares were issued as of December 31, 1995. At December
31, 1995, 200,000,000 common shares of one dollar par value were authorized,
117,271,086 shares were issued and outstanding (94,857,060 at December 31,
1994), net of 20,113 shares held, at cost, in treasury (16,875 at December 31,
1994).
In October 1995, the Company issued 8,395,000 shares of common stock at a
net price of $37.30 per share through an underwritten public offering pursuant
to the Company's September 1995 $1,000,000 shelf registration. The net proceeds
of approximately $313,000 from the offering were used primarily to finance the
Company's worldwide acquisition program including OGF/PFG. In addition, on
October 11, 1995, the Company completed the purchase of Gibraltar and issued
3,286,759 shares of Company common stock as part of the purchase price.
During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company redeemed the remaining
outstanding 6.5% convertible subordinated debentures due in 2001. This
redemption resulted in the issuance of 8,317,261 shares of Company common stock.
In December 1994 and January 1995 the Company sold, through an underwritten
public offering, 8,480,000 common shares at a net $24.70 per share. The net
proceeds of approximately $209,000 were used to repay existing bank debt.
The fully diluted earnings per share calculation assumes full conversion
into common stock of the Company's various convertible securities.
The Company has stockholder approved plans whereby shares of the Company's
common stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted to
officers and key employees. The plans allow for options to be granted as either
non-qualified or incentive stock options. The options are granted with an
exercise price equal to the then current market price of the Company's common
stock. The options are generally exercisable at a rate of 33 1/3% each year
unless, at the discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors, alternative vesting methods are allowed. At December 31, 1995,
37

SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
4,617,500 options had been granted to officers and key employees of the Company
which contain alternative vesting methods. Under the alternative vesting
methods, partial or full accelerated vesting will occur when the price of
Company common stock reaches pre-determined prices ($50 and $60 per share) and
for certain of these options an additional earnings per share growth increase is
required. If the pre-determined stock prices and earnings per share growth are
not met in the required time period the options will fully vest in periods
ranging from eight to 13 years from date of grant. At December 31, 1995 and
1994, 1,714,328 and 477,494 shares, respectively, were reserved for future
option grants under all stock option plans.

At December 31, 1995, the Company has reserved 1,476,683 shares of its
common stock under stockholder approved plans for restricted stock grants to be
awarded to key employees and non-employee directors. These plans contain a
restriction period of not less than six months and not more than 10 years,
during which time the recipient will be prohibited from disposition of the
awarded common stock and also a requirement that the employee recipient remain
employed by the Company and the non-employee director continue to serve as a
director prior to lapse of the restricted period. For the three years ended
December 31, 1995, 64,300, 66,100 and 652,481 shares were awarded under these
plans, respectively.
In May 1996, subject to shareholder approval, the Company will initiate the
1996 Incentive Plan. This plan reserves 6,000,000 shares of common stock for
future awards of stock options and/or restricted stock to officers and key
employees of the Company and will replace all shares of common stock available
for future grant under existing stock option and restricted stock plans.
The Board of Directors has adopted a preferred share purchase rights plan
and has declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share
of common stock outstanding. The rights become exercisable in the event of
certain attempts to acquire 20% or more of the common stock of the Company and
entitle the rights holders to purchase certain securities of the Company or the
acquiring company. The rights, which are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per
right, expire in July 1998 unless extended.

RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all United States employees, a supplemental retirement plan for
certain current and former key employees (SERP), a supplemental retirement plan
for officers and certain key employees (Senior SERP), and a retirement plan for
non-employee directors (Directors' Plan).
For the pension plan, retirement benefits are generally based on years of
service and compensation. The Company annually contributes to the pension plan
an actuarially determined amount consistent with the funding requirements of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Assets of the pension plan
consist primarily of bank money market funds, fixed income investments,
marketable equity securities and mortgage notes. The marketable equity
securities include shares of Company common stock with a value of $7,268 at
December 31, 1995. Most foreign employees are covered by various foreign
government mandated or defined contribution plans which are adequately funded
and are not considered material to the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company. The plans' liabilities and their related costs are
computed in accordance with the laws of the individual countries and appropriate
actuarial practices.
Retirement benefits under the SERP are based on years of service and
average monthly compensation, reduced by benefits under the pension plan and
Social Security. The Senior SERP provides retirement benefits based on years of
service and position. The Directors' Plan will provide an annual benefit to
directors following their retirement, based on a vesting schedule. The Company
purchased various life insurance policies on the participants in the SERP,
Senior SERP and Directors' Plan with the intent to use the proceeds or any cash
value buildup from such policies to assist in funding, at least to the extent of
such assets, the plans' funding requirements.
The net cost for the four defined plans described above were as follows:

NOTE FIFTEEN
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed the following accounting
principles:
(a) All price guaranteed prearranged funeral contracts are included in
the consolidated balance sheet as a long-term asset with a corresponding
credit to deferred prearranged funeral contract revenues. Insurance funded
contracts were previously disclosed in a note to the consolidated financial
statements and certain trust funded contracts were previously included
under other captions in the consolidated balance sheet. This change had no
effect on the existing policy of recognizing revenue until the funeral
service is performed.
(b) Prearranged funeral trust earnings previously recognized as
current income are now deferred until the funeral service is performed.
Increasing benefits under insurance funded contracts are now accrued and
deferred until the funeral service is performed.
(c) All sales of cemetery interment rights and other related products
are recorded as revenues when customer contracts are signed with concurrent
recognition of related costs. Allowances for customer cancellations are
provided at the date of sale based upon historical experience. Previously,
certain sales were generally deferred under accounting principles
prescribed for sales of real estate. Under the Company's application of
this method of accounting for sales of real estate, revenues and costs were
deferred until 20% of the contract amount had been collected.
(d) Funds held in perpetual care cemetery trusts were previously
included on the consolidated balance sheet, whereas now such amounts are
excluded.
The cumulative effect of these changes resulted in an after tax charge of
$2,031 or $.03 per share on January 1, 1993.
NOTE SIXTEEN
PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
FAS 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and FAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" become effective in 1996. FAS 121 attempts to standardize methods
used to determine whether the costs of long-lived assets will be recovered, and
how such costs should be tested for value impairment. FAS 123 establishes
financial accounting and reporting standards for stock based employee
compensation plans. Adoption of these standards are not expected to materially
affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE SEVENTEEN
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of February 1, 1996, subsidiaries of J. P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated
("Morgan") beneficially own approximately 8% of the Company's common stock.
Morgan and the Company have entered into (and in certain instances, unwound)
various foreign currency and/or interest rate swap agreements during 1995 and
1994. During 1995, Morgan participated as lead underwriter on the June 1995 and
October 1995 public offerings of notes and the October 1995 public offering of
common stock. Morgan acted as an advisor in the January 1995 private offering of
debt related to the United Kingdom acquisitions and December 1995 private
offering of debt related to the SCIC minority interest purchase. Morgan also
acted as an advisor in the 1995 acquisition of OGF/PFG. During 1994, Morgan
participated as lead underwriter in the December 1994 public offerings of common
stock, notes and the convertible preferred securities of SCI Finance LLC. In the
1994 acquisition of one of the United Kingdom acquisitions, Morgan acted as an
advisor and also provided a loan

used by the Company (repaid in 1995) in the acquisitions of both United Kingdom
acquisitions. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, Morgan received
$14,062 and $10,747, respectively in fees from the Company. During the year
ended December 31, 1993 Morgan paid the Company a net $2,551 primarily relating
to payments received to unwind certain interest rate swap agreements.

to render to the Company such services of an advisory or consultative nature
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Consultant shall be
available to advise and consult with the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company concerning matters the Consultant was involved
in as Chief Financial Officer of the Company or as a member of the Company's
Board of Directors or any Committee thereof, including, without limitation,
financing arrangements, acquisitions, financial reporting issues and corporate

personal representative of his estate.

-3-
<PAGE> 9
the Consultant is or may be a defendant with the Company, its subsidiaries or
affiliates or in which the Consultant's testimony is required, and the
Consultant shall select his attorneys for all such matters, subject to the
prior written approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The provisions of this section apply to all types of proceedings in
all courts of competent jurisdiction involving administrative trials, civil
trials and criminal trials. The Company and the Consultant agree and stipulate
that the obligations under this section shall not in any way influence or be
construed to influence the Consultant as to the content of any testimony or
other evidence that that Consultant may provide in any proceeding. The
obligations of the Company set forth in this section shall be conditioned upon
and subject to the Consultant providing written notice to the Company within
ten days of his becoming aware of any claim, demand, action, cost or other
occurrence which could give rise to the Consultant's rights under this section.
4.3 Interest. If the Consultant does not receive from the Company
any payment provided for under this Agreement at the time called for hereunder,
the Consultant shall give the Company written notice that said payment was not
received and the Company shall have five days grace period to remit such
payment to the Consultant. In the event the Company fails to make payment to
the Consultant after receipt of such notice and the expiration of the grace
period, the Consultant shall be entitled to recover such payment plus interest
thereof at the rate of 10% per annum from the due date hereof until received.
4.4 Notice and Opportunity to Cure. The Consultant shall not be
considered to have violated any obligation, duty or covenant (each referred to
herein as "duty") under this Agreement unless and until (a) the Company first
gives the Consultant written notice stating (i) specifically what the Company
alleges the Consultant has done or failed to do in violation of a duty under
this Agreement, and (ii) a reasonable period (which shall be not less than 15
days if the alleged violation concerns a duty under Article I of this
Agreement, or shall be not less than five days if it concerns a duty under
Article II or Article III of this Agreement) after the Consultant's receipt of
such written notice within which to cure such alleged violation, and (b) the
Consultant fails to cure such alleged violation within such cure period to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Company. In the case of the Consultant's duties
under Article I of this Agreement, the Company and the Consultant agree that if
after consultation services are requested by the Company's Chairman of the
Board or Chief Executive Officer and before the end of the cure period for any
alleged violation of the Consultant's duty to provide such requested consulting
services the Consultant dies or, due to physical or mental illness or
infirmity, becomes unable to consult with the Company's Chairman of the Board
or Chief Executive Officer, the Consultant shall be deemed to have cured such
alleged violation for all purposes of this Agreement so that this failure to
actually provide such requested consulting services shall not constitute a
violation of his duties under Article I of this Agreement and, further, after
the Consultant's death and throughout any period while the Consultant is unable
to provide consulting services due to physical or mental illness or injury, the
Consultant shall never be considered to have violated any duty under Article I
of this Agreement. The Company shall not be considered to have violated any
duty under this Agreement unless and until (x) the Consultant first gives the
Company written notice stating (i) specifically
-4-
<PAGE> 10
what the Consultant believes the Company has done or failed to do in violation
of a duty under this Agreement, and (ii) a reasonable period (which shall be
five days if the alleged violation concerns a duty of the Company to make a
payment to the Consultant or to his named beneficiary if he is deceased, or
shall be not less than five days if the alleged violation concerns any other
duty of the Company under this Agreement) after the Company's receipt of such
written notice within which to cure the alleged violation, and (y) the Company
fails to cure such alleged violation within such cure period. If either party
receives a notice under this section from the other and fails to cure the
alleged violation within the cure period, the party asserting such violation
may pursue any legal or equitable remedies available to such party against the
other on account of the alleged violation stated in such notice, including
specific performance; provided, however, if the Consultant is deceased the
Company may not withhold any payment scheduled to be paid after the
Consultant's death under this Agreement to the beneficiary named by the
Consultant as an offset against or otherwise as a means of obtaining any
damages the Company alleges it has sustained due to an alleged violation by the
Consultant before his death of any duty under this Agreement.
4.5 Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay promptly
as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses
which Consultant may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of
the outcome thereof) by the Company, Consultant or others of the validity or
enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement,
providing the issue or dispute, with respect to which such fees and expenses
relate arises prior to February 16, 1998.
4.6 Specific Performance. The Consultant acknowledges that a
remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of Article II or Article III
of this Agreement, and any failure to be available for, or non-performance or
inadequate performance of consulting services required under Section 1.1, will
be inadequate, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to specific
performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such
breach or attempted breach, and further agrees to waive any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such
injunctive or any other equitable relief.
4.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
4.8 Assignment. Except as provided in Article 1.2 (concerning the
payment after the Consultant's death of payments to person(s) or entity(s)
designated by him or to the personal representative of his estate), this
Agreement may not be assigned by the Consultant. Neither the Consultant, his
spouse nor estate shall have any right to commute, encumber or dispose of any
right to receive payments hereunder, it being agreed that such payments and the
right thereto are nonassignable and nontransferable.

4.9 Binding Effect. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 of

meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
4.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

either the Company or the Employee gives the other written notice that the
Employment Period shall not be so extended.
2. Duties and Powers of Employee. (a) Position; Location.
During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be employed as Executive Vice
President European Operations of the Company. In such employment, the
Employee's duties and powers shall include, but not be limited to, all of the
duties and powers of holding the offices described above pursuant to the Bylaws
of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof, or as designated by the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or any duly authorized committee
thereof in connection with the execution of this Agreement. The Employee's
services shall be performed at the location where the Employee is currently
employed or any office which is the headquarters of the Company and is less
than 50 miles from such location. During the Change of Control Period, the
Employee's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting
requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least
commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held,
exercised and assigned at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Change of Control Date.
(b) Duties. During the Employment Period, and excluding any
periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Employee is entitled, the
Employee agrees to devote his attention and time during normal business hours
to the business and affairs of the Company and to use the Employee's best
efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During
the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
Employee to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees,
(ii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational
institutions and (iii) manage personal investments, so long as such activities
do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Employee's
responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this
Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any
such activities have been conducted by the Employee prior to the date of this
Agreement or subsequent thereto consistent with this Section 2(b), the
continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in
nature and scope thereto) shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the
performance of the Employee's responsibilities to the Company.
(c) Employee agrees and acknowledges that he owes, and will
comply with, a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity or allegiance to act at all
times in the best interests of the Company and to take no action or fail to

annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary") at the rate of not less than
$280,000 per year, in substantially equal bi-weekly installments, and
subject to any and all required withholdings and deductions for Social
Security, income taxes and the like. The Board may from time to time
direct such upward adjustments to Annual Base Salary as the Board deems
to be appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that during the
Change of Control Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at
least annually and shall be increased at any time and from time to time
as shall be substantially consistent with increases in base salary
generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies (as defined in
Section 16(d) below). Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any

Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of
the Company under this Agreement.
(b) Incentive Cash Compensation. During the Employment Period,
he shall be eligible annually for a cash bonus at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee of the Board (such aggregate awards for each year
are hereinafter referred to as the "Annual Bonus") and at the discretion
of the Board to receive awards from any plan of the Company or any of
its affiliated companies providing for the payment of bonuses in cash to
employees of the Company or its affiliated companies having rank
comparable to that of the Employee (such plans being referred to herein
collectively as the "Cash Bonus Plans") in accordance with the terms
thereof; provided, however, that, during the Change of Control Period,
the Employee shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the
Change of Control Period, an Annual Bonus at least equal to the Highest
Recent Bonus (as defined in Section 16(e) below). Each Annual Bonus
shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal
year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is
awarded, unless the Employee shall elect to defer the receipt of such
Annual Bonus.
(c) Incentive and Savings and Retirement Plans. During the

(d) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the
Employee and/or the Employee's family, as the case may be, shall be
eligible for participation in all welfare benefit
-3-
<PAGE> 4
plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its
affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical,
prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life,
group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and
programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of
the Company and its affiliated companies.
(e) Expenses. During the Employment Period and for so long as
the Employee is employed by the Company, he shall be entitled to receive
prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the

the Company and its affiliated companies from time to time in effect.
(f) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the
Employee shall be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the

affiliated companies from time to time in effect, commensurate with his
position and on a basis at least comparable to those received by other
peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
(g) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period,
the Employee shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and

of the Company and its affiliated companies.

the Employee shall be entitled to paid vacation and such other paid
absences whether for holidays, illness, personal time or any similar
purposes, in accordance with the plans, policies, programs and practices
of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect from time to time,
commensurate with his position and on a basis at least comparable to
those received by other peer executives of the Company and its
affiliated companies.
(i) During the Change of Control Period, the Employee's
benefits listed under Sections 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(f), 3(g) and 3(h)
above shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the
most valuable and favorable of those received by the Employee at any
time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Change of
Control Date.
4. Termination of Employment. (a) Death or Disability. The
Employment Period shall terminate automatically upon the Employee's death
during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the
Disability of the Employee has
-4-
<PAGE> 5
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability
set forth below), it may give to the Employee written notice in accordance with
Section 18(b) of its intention to terminate the Employment Period. In such
event, the Employment Period shall terminate effective on the 30th day after
receipt of such notice by the Employee (the "Disability Effective Date"),
provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Employee shall not
have returned to full-time performance of the Employee's duties. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the inability of the Employee to
perform the Employee's duties with the Company on a full-time basis as a result
of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which continues for more than
one year after the commencement of such incapacity, such incapacity to be
determined by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and
acceptable to the Employee or the Employee's legal representative (such
agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably).
(b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Employment Period for
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) a material
breach by the Employee of Section 9 which is willful on the Employee's part or
which is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach
is in the best interests of the Company and its affiliated companies, or (ii) a
material breach by the Employee of the Employee's obligations under Section 2
(other than a breach of the Employee's obligations under Section 2 arising from
the failure of the Employee to work as a result of incapacity due to physical
or mental illness) or any material breach by the Employee of Section 10, 11 or
12 of this Agreement which in either case is willful on the Employee's part,
which is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach
is in the best interests of the Company and its affiliated companies and which
is not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice
from the Company specifying such breach, or (iii) the conviction of the
Employee of a felony involving malice which conviction has been affirmed on
appeal or as to which the period in which an appeal can be taken has lapsed.
(c) Good Reason; Window Period. The Employee's employment may
be terminated (i) by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined below) or (ii)
during the Window Period (as defined below) by the Employee without any reason.
For purposes of this Agreement, the "Window Period" shall mean the 30-day
period immediately following the first anniversary of the Change of Control
Date. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean
(i) the assignment to the Employee of any duties
inconsistent in any respect with the Employee's position (including
status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties
or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2 or any other action by
the Company which results in
-5-
<PAGE> 6
a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities,
excluding for this purpose an isolated and insubstantial action not
taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after
receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee;
(ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
provisions of Section 3, other than an isolated and insubstantial
failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company
promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee;
(iii) the Company's requiring the Employee to be based at any
office or location other than that described in Section 2(a);
(iv) any purported termination by the Company of the
Employee's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this
Agreement; or
(v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
Section 16(c), provided that the successor referred to in Section 16(c)
has received at least ten days prior written notice from the Company or
the Employee of the requirements of Section 16(c).
For purposes of this Section 4(c), during the Change of Control Period, any
good faith determination of "Good Reason" made by the Employee shall be
conclusive.
(d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for
Cause or by the Employee without any reason during the Window Period or for
Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto given in accordance with Section 18(b). For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the
extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Employment Period under the
provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination
date (which date shall be not more than 15 days after the giving of such
notice). The failure by the Employee or the Company to set forth in the Notice
of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good
Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Employee or the Company
hereunder or preclude the Employee or the Company from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Employee's or the Company's rights hereunder.
(e) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means (i) if
the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the
Employee during the Window Period or for Good
-6-
<PAGE> 7
Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date
specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Employee's employment is
terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, or by the
Employee other than for Good Reason or during the Window Period, the Date of
Termination shall be the date on which the Company or the Employee, as the case
may be, notifies the other of such termination and (iii) if the Employee's
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death of the Employee or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.
5. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination. (a) Certain
Terminations Prior to Change of Control Date. If, during the Employment Period
prior to any Change of Control Date, the employment of the Employee with the
Company shall be terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause, death or
Disability or (ii) by the Employee for Good Reason, then, in lieu of the
obligations of the Company under Section 3, (i) the Company shall pay to the
Employee in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination all
Unpaid Agreement Amounts (as defined in Section 5(b)(i)(A) below) and (ii)
notwithstanding any other provision hereunder, for the longer of (A) the
remainder of the Employment Period or (B) to the extent compensation and/or
benefits are provided under any plan, program, practice or policy, such longer
period, if any, as such plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the
Company shall continue to provide to the Employee the compensation and benefits
provided in Sections 3(a), 3(c) and 3(d).
(b) Certain Terminations After Change of Control Date. If,
during the Change of Control Period, the employment of the Employee with the
Company shall be terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause, death or
Disability or (ii) by the Employee either for Good Reason or without any reason
during the Window Period, then, in lieu of the obligations of the Company under
Section 3 and notwithstanding any other provision hereunder:
(i) the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum in
cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the
following amounts:
(A) the sum of (1) all unpaid amounts due to the
Employee under Section 3 through the Date of Termination,
including without limitation, the Employee's Annual Base Salary
and any accrued vacation pay, (2) the product of (x) the Highest
Recent Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of
Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3) any
compensation previously deferred by the Employee (together with
any accrued interest or earnings thereon) to the extent not
theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to
-7-
<PAGE> 8
as the "Accrued Obligations" and the sum of the amounts
described in clauses (1) and (3) shall be hereinafter referred
to as the "Unpaid Agreement Amounts"); and
(B) the amount (such amount shall be hereinafter
referred to as the "Severance Amount") equal to the sum of
(1) Three (3) multiplied by the Employee's
Annual Base Salary, plus
(2) Three (3) multiplied by the Employee's
Highest Recent Bonus; and
(ii) for the longer of (A) the remainder of the Employment
Period or (B) to the extent benefits are provided under any plan,
program, practice or policy, such longer period as such plan, program,
practice or policy may provide, the Company shall continue benefits to
the Employee and/or the Employee's family at least equal to those which
would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs,
practices and policies described in Section 3(d) if the Employee's
employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the most
favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company and its
affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other peer
executives and their families during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Change of Control Date or, if more favorable to the
Employee, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and
their families; provided, however, that if the Employee becomes
reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or
other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical
and other welfare benefits described herein shall be required only to
the extent not provided under such other plan during such applicable
period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility of the
Employee for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices,
programs and policies, the Employee shall be considered to have remained
employed until the end of the Employment Period and to have retired on
the last day of such period; and
(iii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the
Company shall timely pay or provide to the Employee and/or the
Employee's family for the remainder of the Employment Period any other
amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the
Employee and/or the Employee's family is eligible to receive pursuant to
this Agreement and under any plan, program, policy or practice or
contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies as in
effect and applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company
and its affiliated companies and their families during the 90-day period
immediately preceding the Change of Control Date or, if more favorable
to the Employee, as in effect generally
-8-
<PAGE> 9
thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
affiliated companies and their families.
Such amounts received under this Section 5(b) shall be in lieu of any other
amount of severance relating to salary or bonus continuation to be received by
the Employee upon termination of employment of the Employee under any severance
plan, policy or arrangement of the Company.
(c) Termination as a Result of Death. If the Employee's
employment is terminated by reason of the Employee's death during the
Employment Period, in lieu of the obligations of the Company under Section 3,
the Company shall pay or provide to the Employee's estate (i) all Accrued
Obligations (which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the
Date of Termination) and the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Benefit
Continuation (as defined below) and the Other Benefits (as defined below) and
(ii) any cash amount to be received by the Employee or the Employee's family as
a death benefit pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the
Company and its affiliated companies. Welfare Continuation Benefits shall mean
the continuation of benefits to the Employee and/or the Employee's family for
the longer of (i) three (3) years from the Date of Termination or (ii) the
period provided by the plans, programs, policies or practices described in
Section 3(d) in which the Employee participates as of the Date of Termination,
such benefits to be at least equal to those which would have been provided to
them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described
in Section 3(d) if the Employee's employment had not been terminated, in
accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of
the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally
to other peer executives and their families on the Date of Termination or, if
the Date of Termination occurs after the Change of Control Date, during the
90-day period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date or, if more
favorable to the Employee, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with
respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies
and their families. Other Benefits shall mean the timely payment or provision
to the Employee and/or the Employee's family of any other amounts or benefits
required to be paid or provided or which the Employee and/or the Employee's
family is eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement and under any plan,
program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its
affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other peer
executives and their families on the Date of Termination or, if the Date of
Termination occurs after the Change of Control Date, during the 90-day period
immediately preceding the Change of Control Date or, if more favorable to the
Employee, as in effect generally thereafter with respect to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families.
-9-
<PAGE> 10
(d) Termination as a Result of Disability. If the Employee's
employment is terminated by reason of the Employee's Disability during the
Employment Period, in lieu of the obligations of the Company under Section 3,
the Company shall pay or provide to the Employee (i) all Accrued Obligations
which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of
Termination and the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Benefit
Continuation and the Other Benefits, provided, however, that if the Employee
becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or
other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the Welfare
Benefit Continuation shall be required only to the extent not provided under
such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility, and (ii) any cash
amount to be received by the Employee as a disability benefit pursuant to the
terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated
companies.
(e) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Employee's
employment shall be terminated during the Employment Period by the Company for
Cause or by the Employee other than during the Window Period and other than for
Good Reason, in lieu of the obligations of the Company under Section 3, the
Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after
the Date of Termination all Unpaid Agreement Amounts.
6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in Sections
5(a), 5(b)(i)(B), 5(b)(ii), 5(c) and 5(d), nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent or limit the Employee's continuing or future participation in any plan,
program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein
limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Employee may have under any
contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies.
Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled
to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or
agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent
to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan,
policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly
modified by this Agreement.
7. Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes. (a) The Company's
obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to
perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the
Company may have against the Employee or others. In no event shall the
Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way
of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the
provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Sections 5(b)(ii) and
5(d), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Employee obtains
other employment. The Company agrees
-10-
<PAGE> 11
to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal
fees and expenses which the Employee may reasonably incur as a result of any
contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Employee or
others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision
of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a
result of any contest by the Employee about the amount of any payment pursuant
to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any payment required to be
made under this Agreement but not timely paid at the rate provided for in
Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
(b) If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the
Employee (i) in the event of any termination of the Employee's employment by
the Company, whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of
any termination of employment by the Employee, whether Good Reason existed,
then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that
the determination by the Employee of the existence of Good Reason was not made
in good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to
the Employee and/or the Employee's family or other beneficiaries, as the case
may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to
Section 5(a) or 5(b) as though such termination were by the Company without
Cause or by the Employee with Good Reason. The Employee hereby undertakes to
repay to the Company all such amounts to which the Employee is ultimately
adjudged by such court not to be entitled.
8. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. (a) Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Employee with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest
and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
then the Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
"Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Employee of all
taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment,
the Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Payments.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), all
determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and
when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of
-11-
<PAGE> 12
such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination, shall be made by Ernst & Young (the "Accounting Firm"), which
shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the
Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Employee
that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the
Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving (or has served
within the three years preceding the Change of Control Date) as accountant or
auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, or
is unwilling or unable to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 8,
the Employee shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to
make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be
referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as
determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to the
Employee within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable
by the Employee, it shall furnish the Employee with a written opinion that
failure to report the Excise Tax on the Employee's applicable federal income
tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar
penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and the Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event
that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(c) and the
Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the
Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has
occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or
for the benefit of the Employee.
(c) The Employee shall notify the Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be
given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the
Employee is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of
the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
30-day period following the date on which the Employee gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes
with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Employee in
writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such
claim, the Company, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(c), shall
control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole
option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings,
hearings and conferences with
-12-
<PAGE> 13
the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option,
either direct the Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or
contest the claim in any permissible manner. In this connection, the Employee
agrees, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(c), to (i) prosecute such
contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of
initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine, (ii) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the
Company relating to such claim, (iii) take such action in connection with
contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from
time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation
with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iv) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest
such claim and (v) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claim. The foregoing is subject, however, to the following:
(A) the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including
additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and
shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any
Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
thereto) imposed in connection therewith and the payment of costs and expenses
in such connection, (B) if the Company directs the Employee to pay such claim
and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to
the Employee, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the
Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to
such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such
advance, (C) any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of
taxes for the taxable year of the Employee with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due shall be limited solely to such contested amount
and (D) the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Employee
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
(d) If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced
by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), the Employee becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Employee shall (subject to
the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 8(c)) promptly pay to
the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
Employee of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), a
determination is made that the Employee shall not be entitled to any refund
with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Employee in
writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration
of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance
-13-
<PAGE> 14
shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to
be paid.
9. Confidential Information. The Employee shall hold in a
fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential
information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated
companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by
the Employee during the Employee's employment by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other
than by acts by the Employee or representatives of the Employee in violation of
this Agreement). After termination of the Employee's employment with the
Company or any of its affiliated companies, the Employee shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or
legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data
to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall
an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis
for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Employee
under this Agreement. Subject to the previous sentence, nothing herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies
available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from the Employee.
10. Employee's Obligation to Avoid Conflicts of Interest. (a)
In keeping with Employee's fiduciary duties to the Company, Employee agrees
that he shall not knowingly become involved in circumstances constituting a
conflict of interest with such duties, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a
conflict to continue. Moreover, Employee agrees that he shall disclose to the
Secretary of the Company any facts which might involve a conflict of interest
that has not been approved by the Company's Compensation Committee. The Board
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the activities of Employee listed on
Schedule A hereto do not, and the continuation of such activities will not,
constitute a conflict of interest for purposes of this Section 10.
(b) In this connection, it is agreed that any direct interest
in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly
commercial activities, which might in any way adversely affect the Company or
any of its affiliated companies, involves a possible conflict of interest.
Circumstances in which a conflict of interest on the part of Employee would or
might arise, and which should be reported immediately to the Company, include,
but are not limited to, the following:
(i) Ownership of a material interest in any lender,
supplier, contractor, customer or other entity with
which the Company or any of its affiliated companies
does business;
-14-
<PAGE> 15
(ii) Acting in any capacity, including director, officer,
partner, consultant, employee, distributor, agent or
the like, for lenders, suppliers, contractors,
subcontractors, customers or other entities with which
the Company or any of its affiliated companies does
business;
(iii) Acceptance, directly or indirectly, of payments,
services or loans from a lender, supplier, contractor,
subcontractor, customer or other entity with which the
Company or any of its affiliated companies does
business, including but not limited to, gifts, trips,
entertainment, or other favors of more than a nominal
value, but excluding loans from publicly held insurance
companies and commercial or savings banks at normal
rates of interest;
(iv) Misuse of information or facilities to which Employee
has access in a manner which will be detrimental to the
Company's or any of its affiliated companies' interest,
such as utilization for Employee's own benefit of
know-how or information developed through the Company's
or any of its affiliated companies' business
activities;
(v) Disclosure or other misuse of information of any kind
obtained through Employee's connection with the Company
or any of its affiliated companies; or
(vi) Acquiring or trading in, directly or indirectly, other
properties or interests connected with the design or
marketing of products or services designed or marketed
by the Company or any of its affiliated companies.
(c) In the event that the Company determines, in the exercise of its
reasonable judgment, that a conflict of interest exists between the Employee
and the Company or any of its affiliated companies, the Company shall notify
the Employee in writing in accordance with Section 17(b) hereof, providing
reasonably detailed information identifying the source of the conflict of
interest. Within the 60-day period following receipt of such notice, the
Employee shall take action satisfactory to the Company to eliminate the
conflict of interest. Failure of the Employee to take such action within such
60-day period shall constitute "Cause" under Section 4(b) hereof.
11. Disclosure of Information, Ideas, Concepts, Improvements,
Discoveries and Inventions. As part of Employee's
-15-
<PAGE> 16
fiduciary duties to the Company, Employee agrees that during the Employment
Period, and for a period of six (6) months after the Date of Termination,
Employee shall promptly disclose in writing to the Company all information,
ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable
or not, and whether or not reduced to practice, which are conceived, developed,
made or acquired by Employee, either individually or jointly with others, and
which relate to the business, products or services of the Company or any of its
affiliated companies, irrespective of whether Employee utilized the Company's
or any of its affiliated companies' time or facilities and irrespective of
whether such information, idea, concept, improvement, discovery or invention
was conceived, developed, discovered or acquired by Employee on the job, at
home, or elsewhere. This obligation extends to all types of information, ideas
and concepts, including information, ideas and concepts relating to new types
of services, corporate opportunities, acquisition prospects, the identity of
key representatives within acquisition prospect organizations, prospective
names or service marks for the Company's or any of its affiliated companies'
business activities, and the like.
12. Ownership of Information, Ideas, Concepts, Improvements,
Discoveries and Inventions and all Original Works of Authorship. (a) All
information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries and inventions, whether
patentable or not, which are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Employee
or which are disclosed or made known to Employee, individually or in
conjunction with others, during Employee's employment by the Company or any of
its affiliated companies and which relate to the Company's or any of its
affiliated companies' business, products or services (including all such
information relating to corporate opportunities, research, financial and sales
data, pricing and trading terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations,
acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the
identity of key contacts within the customer's organizations or within the
organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising
techniques, prospective names and marks) are and shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. Moreover, all drawings, memoranda, notes,
records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications, computer
programs, maps and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of
such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries and inventions are
and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
(b) In particular, Employee hereby specifically sells, assigns
and transfers to the Company all of his worldwide right, title and interest in
and to all such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries or
inventions, and any United States or foreign applications for patents,
inventor's certificates or other industrial rights that may be filed thereon,
including divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues and/or
extensions
-16-
<PAGE> 17
thereof, and applications for registration of such names and marks. Both
during the period of Employee's employment by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and thereafter, Employee shall assist the Company and its
nominee at all times in the protection of such information, ideas, concepts,
improvements, discoveries or inventions, both in the United States and all
foreign countries, including but not limited to, the execution of all lawful
oaths and all assignment documents requested by the Company or its nominee in
connection with the preparation, prosecution, issuance or enforcement of any
applications for United States or foreign letters patent, including divisions,
continuations, continuations-in-part, reissues, and/or extensions thereof, and
any application for the registration of such names and marks.
(c) Moreover, if during Employee's employment by the Company or
any of its affiliated companies, Employee creates any original work of
authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression which is the subject
matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations on acquisitions,
computer programs, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models, manuals,
brochures or the like) relating to the Company's or any of its affiliated
companies' business, products, or services, whether such work is created solely
by Employee or jointly with others, the Company shall be deemed the author of
such work if the work is prepared by Employee in the scope of his or her
employment; or, if the work is not prepared by Employee within the scope of his
or her employment but is specially ordered by the Company as a contribution to
a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as
a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation or as an instrumental
text, then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and the
Company shall be the author of the work. In the event such work is neither
prepared by the Employee within the scope of his or her employment or is not a
work specially ordered and deemed to be a work made for hire, then Employee
hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to the Company all
of Employee's worldwide right, title and interest in and to such work and all
rights of copyright therein. Both during the period of Employee's employment
by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and thereafter, Employee
agrees to assist the Company and its nominee, at any time, in the protection of
the Company's worldwide right, title and interest in and to the work and all
rights of copyright therein, including but not limited to, the execution of all
formal assignment documents requested by the Company or its nominee and the
execution of all lawful oaths and applications for registration of copyright in
the United States and foreign countries.
13. Employee's Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations:
In Certain Situations such Obligations Apply only if the Company opts to
Continue Employee's Salary Payment. (a) During the Employment Period and,
subject to the conditions of Sections 13(b) and 13(c), for a period of three
(3) years
-17-
<PAGE> 18
thereafter (the "Non-Competition Period") provided, however, that the
Non-Competition Period shall not exceed three (3) years from the Date of
Termination, Employee shall not, acting alone or in conjunction with others,
directly or indirectly, in any of the business territories in which the Company
or any of its affiliated companies is presently or at the time of termination
of employment conducting business, engage in any business in competition with
the business conducted by the Company or any of its affiliated companies at the
time of the termination of the employment relationship, whether for his own
account or by soliciting, canvassing or accepting any business or transaction
for or from any other company or business in competition with such business of
the Company or any of its affiliated companies.
(b) If Employee has been terminated for Cause (Section 4(b)) or
if Employee terminates his employment for any reason other than for Good Reason
or other than during the Window Period (Section 4(c)), Employee shall be bound
by the obligations of Section 13(a) and the Company shall have no obligation to
make the Non-Competition Payments (as defined in Section 13(c) below).
However, if the employment relationship is terminated by any other circumstance
or for any other reason, Employee's post-employment non-competition obligations
required by Section 13(a) shall be subject to the Company's obligation to make
the Non-Competition Payments specified in Section 13(c).
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of this
Agreement, whenever the employment relationship is terminated due to the
expiration of its term because the Company or Employee timely gave written
notice of termination (Section 1), or due to Employee's Disability (Section
4(a)), or by the Company without Cause (Section 4(b)), unless the Company
exercises its option as hereinafter provided, Employee shall be entitled to
continue to receive payments (the "Non-Competition Payments") equal to his then
current Annual Base Salary (as of the Date of Termination) during the
Non-Competition Period. During the Non-Competition Period, the Employee shall
not, however, be deemed to be an employee of the Company or be entitled to
continue to receive any other employee benefits other than as set forth in
Section 5 or Section 8. Moreover, the Non-Competition Payments shall be
reduced to the extent Employee has already received lump-sum payments in lieu
of salary and bonus pursuant to Section 5. The Company shall have the option,
exercisable at any time within one (1) month after Employee's Date of
Termination, to cancel Employee's post-employment non-competition obligations
under Section 13(a) and the Company's corresponding obligation to make the
Non-Competition Payments. Such option shall be exercised by the Company
mailing a written notice thereof to Employee in accordance with Section 18(b);
if the Company does not send such notice within the prescribed one-month time,
the Company shall remain obligated to make the Non-Competition Payments and
Employee shall remain obligated to comply with the provisions of Section 13(a).
The purpose of this paragraph is to make the non-competition
-18-
<PAGE> 19
obligations of Employee more reasonable from the Employee's point of view. The
amounts to be paid by the Company are not intended to be liquidated damages or
an estimate of the actual damages that would be sustained by the Company if
Employee breaches his post-employment non-competition obligations. If Employee
breaches his post-employment non-competition obligations, the Company shall be
entitled to cease making the Non-Competition Payments and shall be entitled to
all of its remedies at law or in equity for damages and injunctive relief.
14. Obligations to Refrain From Competing Unfairly. In
addition to the other obligations agreed to by Employee in this Agreement,
Employee agrees that during the Employment Period and for three (3) years
following the Date of Termination, he shall not at any time, directly or
indirectly for the benefit of any other party than the Company or any of its
affiliated companies, (a) induce, entice, or solicit any employee of the
Company or any of its affiliated companies to leave his employment, or (b)
contact, communicate or solicit any customer of the Company or any of its
affiliated companies derived from any customer list, customer lead, mail,
printed matter or other information secured from the Company or any of its
affiliated companies or their present or past employees, or (c) in any other
manner use any customer lists or customer leads, mail, telephone numbers,
printed material or material of the Company or any of its affiliated companies
relating thereto.
15. Successors. This Agreement is personal to the Employee and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the
Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's
legal representatives.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
(c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or the Company
to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean
the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
operation of law, or otherwise.

date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably
demonstrated by the Employee that such termination or cessation (i) was at the

to the full extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made
a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reasons of the fact
that he, or his testator or intestate, is or was a member of the Plan
