     4. AMENDMENT FEE. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this
Amendment and Waiver, the Borrowers shall, on the Effective Date, pay to the

<PAGE>

1999, the Borrowers requested that the U.S. Court authorize them to, among other
things, sell certain certificates of indebtedness issued by Beverly Hills
Cemetery Corporation, Inc. and Cemetery Gardens, Inc. (the "SALE"). The
Borrowers have requested, in accordance with Section 7.15(a) of the Credit
Agreement, that the Lenders consent to the Sale. By the terms of this Amendment
and Waiver, the Lenders hereby consent to the Sale, PROVIDED that the Borrowers
comply with the prepayment and Commitment reduction requirements set forth in
Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement.

     6. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. This Amendment and
Waiver shall not become effective (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") until (i) the date on

the Required Lenders and the Agent, and the Agent shall have received evidence
satisfactory to it of such execution, (ii) the Agent shall have received the
Amendment Fee referred to in Section 4 hereof, and (iii) the U.S. Court shall
have entered an order authorizing the execution of this Amendment and Waiver by
the Borrowers, PROVIDED, however, that the Neweol Effective Date shall not occur

     7. COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Borrowers agree that their obligations set forth
in Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement shall extend to the preparation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment and Waiver.

Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or
(b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Agent or the Lenders may now have
or have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of
the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Credit Agreement
is referred to in the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments, agreements or
other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such
reference shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as modified by this
Amendment and Waiver.

     9. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment and Waiver may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     10. GOVERNING LAW. This Amendment and Waiver shall in all respects be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York
