another Person with or into the Issuer, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of
the Issuer (determined on a consolidated basis) to another Person, other than a transaction
following which (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of
securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Issuer immediately prior to such
transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such
merger or consolidation transaction) own directly or indirectly at least a majority of the
voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation
transaction immediately after such transaction and (ii) in the case of a sale of assets
transaction, each transferee becomes an obligor in respect of the Notes and a subsidiary of
the transferor of such assets.




Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder with a
copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:





	(1)	 	that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the
Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the

with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after

date such notice is mailed); and






	(4)	 	the instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.03, that a
Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.




The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of Notes
following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner,
at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth hereunder applicable to a
Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes of such series validly tendered
and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption of all of such
series of Notes has been given pursuant hereto unless and until there has been a default in payment
of the applicable redemption price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change
of Control, conditional upon the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the
Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.



The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of
Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.03, the Issuer shall comply with the




6









 







applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under this Section 4.03 by virtue thereof.



Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an
appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least
three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the
purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.



On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.03 shall be delivered
by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.



In the event that at the time of any Change of Control the terms of any Credit Facility restrict or
prohibit the purchase of Notes following such Change of Control, then prior to the mailing of the
notice to Holders but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall
undertake to (1) repay in full all such indebtedness under any applicable Credit Facility or (2)
obtain the requisite consents under the agreements governing such indebtedness under any applicable
Credit Facility to permit the repurchase of the Notes.

covenants hereunder.

by the Issuer or any Subsidiary (other than Non-Recourse



9









 






Indebtedness),
whether such Indebtedness exists on the date hereof or shall hereafter be
created, which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or
being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, or any default in payment of such Indebtedness
(after the expiration of any applicable grace periods and the presentation
of any debt instruments, if required), if the aggregate amount of all such
Indebtedness which has been so accelerated and with respect to which there
has been such a default in payment shall exceed $10,000,000, without each
such default and acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a
period of 30 days after there shall have been given to the Issuer by the
Trustee by registered mail, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders

amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer
(and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), may declare the unpaid
principal amount (or, if the Notes are Original Issue Discount Notes, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms) of all the
Notes of such series then Outstanding and the Optional Redemption Premium,
if any, due thereon, and the interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and

performance of the Notes and the Indenture to contract in strict compliance with
applicable usury laws from time to time in effect. The Issuer and the Trustee on
behalf of the Holders stipulate and agree that none of the terms in the Notes or the
Indenture are intended or shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay
interest in an amount in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount or at a rate in
excess of the highest lawful rate. In the event any payment includes any such excess
interest, the Issuer stipulates that such excess interest shall have been paid as a
result of error on the part of the Issuer.”

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF





     AUTHENTICATION



THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST

     COMPANY, N.A.




	 	 	 	 	 
	as Trustee, certifies

that this is one of

the Notes referred

to in the Supplemental Indenture.

 
	 	 
	By  	 	 	 
	 	Authorized Signatory 	 	 
	 	 	 	 



 









 





1. Interest





     Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation (such corporation, and its successors
and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.
The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May
15, 2011. Interest on the Notes will accrue from November 22, 2010. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



2. Method of Payment




     The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are
registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the
interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the
interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of
the Notes represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. The
Issuer will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and
interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided,
however, that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects
payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect
designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for
payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).



3. Paying Agent and Registrar




     Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association
(the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change
any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.



4. Indenture




     The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 1, 1993, as amended by the
Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 22, 2010 (together, the “Indenture”),
each between the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15
U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture (the
“Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to
the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.



 









 





     The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Issuer shall be entitled to
issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Original Indenture. The Notes issued on the
Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the
Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Issuer and its
subsidiaries to create liens on assets; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries; and engage in sale/leaseback transactions. These
covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.



5. Optional Redemption




     Except as set forth below, the Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes.



     Prior to November 15, 2014, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s
option at any time, upon at least 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, and (2) as
determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest
accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 50
basis points (the greater of (1) and (2), the “Optional Redemption Premium”), plus in each
case, accrued interest thereon to (but not including) the date of redemption.



     On and after November 15, 2014, the notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the
Issuer’s option at any time, upon at least 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice to the
Holders, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption
date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the
12-month period commencing on November 15 of the years set forth below:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Period	 	Redemption Price
	2014
	 	 	103.50	%
	2015
	 	 	101.75	%
	2016 and thereafter
	 	 	100.00	%






     Notice of optional redemption pursuant to this Section 5 will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his
registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in
part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is
deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are
satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions
thereof) called for redemption.



 









 





     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per
annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.



     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Notes.



     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the
average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent
obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
Quotations.



     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
(and its successors) and any other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary
U.S. government securities dealer specified from time to time by the Issuer.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 5:00 p.m., New York
time, on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.



6. Put Provisions




     Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Notes will have the right to cause the Issuer to
repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the related interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.



7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange




     The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount
and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees



 









 




required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of
or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in
part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.




8. Persons Deemed Owners




     Except as provided in Section 2 hereto, the registered Holder of this Note may be treated as
the owner of it for all purposes.



9. Unclaimed Money




     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee
or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property
law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look
only to the Issuer as general creditors and not to the Trustee for payment.



10. Discharge and Defeasance




     Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or
all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (insofar as the Indenture applies to the
Notes) if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment
of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.



11. Amendment; Waiver




     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture (insofar as the
Indenture applies to the Notes) and the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes and (b) any default or
noncompliance with any provision may be waived with respect to the Notes with the written consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes. Subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Noteholder, the Issuer and the
Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Notes to evidence the assumption by a
successor corporation of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture, or to add covenants or make
the occurrence and continuance of a default in such additional covenants a new Event of Default for
the protection of the Holders of debt securities, or to cure any ambiguity or correct any
inconsistency in the Indenture or amend the Indenture in any other manner which the Issuer may deem
necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of senior
debt securities issued thereunder, or to establish the form and terms of any series of senior debt
securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, or to evidence the acceptance of appointment by
a successor Trustee, or to secure the senior debt securities with any property or assets.



12. Defaults and Remedies




 









 






     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest
on the Notes; (b) default in payment of principal on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption
pursuant to Section 5 hereto, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Issuer to redeem or
purchase Notes when required; (c) failure by the Issuer to comply with other agreements in the
Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain
accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other
Indebtedness of the Issuer if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $10 million; and (e)
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer. If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately
upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.



     Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or
security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.



13. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer




     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal
with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with
the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.



14. No Recourse Against Others




     A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Issuer or the Trustee shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issue of the Notes.



15. Authentication




     This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this
Note.


16. Abbreviations




 









 







     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an assignee, such as TEN
COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights
of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to
Minors Act).



17. CUSIP Numbers




     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the
Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.
