This AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made as of                                
(the “Date of Grant”), by and between Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and                                              
(the “Optionee”) who (i) is a member of the Board and (ii) is not an
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

1.                                       Grant of Stock Option. 
Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in
this Agreement and in the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the Company hereby grants to the Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock
option (the “Option”) to purchase                                               
Common Shares (the “Optioned Shares”). 
The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.  The price at
which the Optioned Shares may be purchased pursuant to the Option shall be $                      ,
subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided (the “Option Price”).  The Option is intended to be a nonqualified
stock option and shall not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor
provision thereto.

 

2.                                       Term of Option.  The
term of the Option shall commence on the Date of Grant and, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, shall expire ten (10) years
from the Date of Grant.

 

3.                                       Right to Exercise.

 

(a)                                  Subject
to Section 6 and Section 7 hereof, the Option will be exercisable
from time to time prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant to the
extent of:

 

(i)            twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Optioned Shares on each of the first two anniversaries of
the Date of Grant; and

 

(ii)           an
additional fifty percent (50%) of the Optioned Shares on the third anniversary
of the Date of Grant.

 

(b)                                 To
the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in
part.  In no event shall the Optionee be
entitled to acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to the
Option.  The Optionee shall be entitled
to the privileges of ownership with respect to Optioned Shares purchased and
delivered to the Optionee upon the exercise of all or part of the Option.  If the Optionee subsequently becomes an
employee of the Company while remaining a member of the Board, this Option
shall not be affected thereby.

 

 

(c)                                  (i) The
Optionee, at any time during the term of this Option, may elect immediately
prior to the exercise of this Option and (ii) the Committee, at the time
immediately prior to the exercise by the Optionee of the Option, may require
that the Optionee so elect, to exchange this Option for a Tandem Appreciation
Right.  The Tandem Appreciation Right
will entitle the Optionee to a number of Common Shares equal in value to the
excess of (A) the aggregate Market Value per Share of the Option on the
date the Option is exchanged for the Tandem Appreciation Right over (B) the
aggregate Option Price.  Such an exchange
will require an immediate exercise of the Tandem Appreciation Right and will
cause the immediate termination of this Option. 
For greater certainty, an exchange pursuant to this Section 3(c) may
only be made when this Option is otherwise exercisable.

 

4.                                       Option Nontransferable. 
The Option granted hereby shall be neither transferable nor assignable
by the Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the
Optionee, or in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her
guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Optionee in a
fiduciary capacity under state or foreign law and court supervision.

 

5.                                       Notice of Exercise; Payment.

 

(a)           To
the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by written notice to
the Secretary of the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares for which
the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of payment.

 

(b)                                 Payment

cash in the form of currency or check or other cash equivalent acceptable to
the Company.  The Optionee may also
tender the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have been owned by
the Optionee for more than six months prior to the date of exercise, or (ii) by
any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender
in cash and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common
Shares.  Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted
Common Shares that are transferred by the Optionee in payment of all or any
part of the Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per
Share on the date of exercise.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Optionee is a resident of Canada for purposes of the
Canadian Tax Act the aggregate Option Price shall be made in the form of in
cash or check acceptable to the Company.

 

(d)                                 The
requirement of payment in cash shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee makes
arrangements that are satisfactory to the Company with a broker to sell on the
exercise date a sufficient number of Optioned Shares that are being purchased
pursuant to the exercise, so that the net proceeds of the sale transaction will
at 

 

2

 

least equal the amount of the aggregate Option Price
plus payment of any applicable withholding taxes, and pursuant to which the
broker undertakes to deliver to the Company the amount of the aggregate Option
Price plus payment of any applicable withholding taxes on a date satisfactory
to the Company, but not later than the date on which the sale transaction will
settle in the ordinary course of business.

 

(e)                                  As
a further condition precedent to the exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall
comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having
control of, or supervision over, the issuance of Common Shares and in
connection therewith shall execute any documents that the Board shall in its
sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 
The date of the Optionee’s written notice shall be the exercise date.

(a)                                  This
Agreement and the Option granted hereby shall terminate automatically and
without further notice on the earlier of the following dates:

retirement, disability or death); or

 

(ii)                                  Ten
(10) years from the Date of Grant.

 

(b)                                 None
of the Plan, the granting of this Option or any other action taken pursuant to
the Plan, shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding,
express or implied, that the Optionee has a right to continue as a director for
any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

 

7.                                       Acceleration of Option. 
Notwithstanding Section 3 hereof, the Option granted hereby shall
become immediately exercisable in full in the event of (a) a Change in
Control, (b) the death of the Optionee if such death occurs while the
Optionee is a member of the Board or (c) the Optionee’s permanent and
total disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled while

8.                                       Taxes and Withholding. 
To the extent that the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold
federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the exercise of the
Option, and the amounts available to the Company or a Subsidiary for such
withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the exercise of the
Option that the Optionee shall pay such taxes or make arrangements that are
satisfactory to the Company or such Subsidiary for the payment thereof.  The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any
part of any such withholding obligation by (a) surrendering to the Company
a portion of the Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee
upon the exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
Market Value per Share of such shares on the date

 

3

 

of such surrender, or (b) utilizing
the broker assistance arrangement provided in Section 5.

 

9.             Compliance with Law. 
The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
federal, state and provincial securities laws; provided, however,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Option shall not be
exercisable if the exercise thereof would result in a violation of any such
law.

 

10.                                 Adjustments.  The
Board may make or provide for such adjustments in the number of Optioned Shares
covered by the Option, in the Option Price applicable to the Option, and in the
kind of shares covered thereby, as the Board, in its sole discretion, exercised
in good faith, may determine is equitably required to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the Optionee’s rights that otherwise would result from (a) any
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, or other
change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial
or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or issuance of rights
or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction
or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.  In the event of any such transaction or
event, the Board, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for the Option
such alternative consideration as it may determine to be equitable in the
circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of the
Option.

 

11.                                 Availability of Common Shares.  The Company shall at all times until the
expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its treasury or
out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full number of Optioned
Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option.

 

12.                                 Amendments.  Any
amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to
the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however,
that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Optionee under this
Agreement without the Optionee’s consent.

 

13.                                 Severability.  In the
event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated
for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so
invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof,
and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully
enforceable.

 

14.                                 Relation to Plan. 
This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise
herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection
with the Option or its exercise.

 

4

 

15.           Successors and Assigns. 
Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors,
administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Optionee, and
the successors and assigns of the Company.

This AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made as of                                   
(the “Date of Grant”), by and between Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and                                                     
(the “Optionee”).

 

1.                                       Grant of Stock Option. 
Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in
this Agreement and in the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the Company hereby grants to the Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock
option (the “Option”) to purchase                              
Common Shares (the “Optioned Shares”). 
The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.  The price at
which the Optioned Shares may be purchased pursuant to the Option shall be $
                      ,
subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided (the “Option Price”).  The Option is intended to be a nonqualified
stock option and shall not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor
provision thereto.

 

2.                                       Term of Option.  The
term of the Option shall commence on the Date of Grant and, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, shall expire ten (10) years
from the Date of Grant.

 

3.                                       Right to Exercise.

 

(a)                                  Subject
to Section 6 and Section 7 hereof, the Option will be exercisable
from time to time prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant to the
extent of:

 

(i)            twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Optioned Shares on each of the first two anniversaries of
the Date of Grant; and

 

(ii)           an
additional fifty percent (50%) of the Optioned Shares on the third anniversary
of the Date of Grant.

 

(b)                                 To
the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in
part.  In no event shall the Optionee be
entitled to acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to the Option.  The Optionee shall be entitled to the
privileges of ownership with respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered
to the Optionee upon the exercise of all or part of the Option.

 

(c)                                  (i) The
Optionee, at any time during the term of this Option, may elect immediately
prior to the exercise of this Option and (ii) the Committee, at the time
immediately prior to the exercise by the Optionee of the Option, may require
that the Optionee so elect, to exchange this Option for a Tandem Appreciation 

 

 

Right.  The Tandem
Appreciation Right will entitle the Optionee to a number of Common Shares equal
in value to the excess of (A) the aggregate Market Value per Share of the
Option on the date the Option is exchanged for the Tandem Appreciation Right
over (B) the aggregate Option Price. 
Such an exchange will require an immediate exercise of the Tandem
Appreciation Right and will cause the immediate termination of this
Option.  For greater certainty, an
exchange pursuant to this Section 3(c) may only be made when this
Option is otherwise exercisable.

 

4.                                       Option Nontransferable. 
The Option granted hereby shall be neither transferable nor assignable
by the Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the
Optionee, or in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her
guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Optionee in a
fiduciary capacity under state or foreign law and court supervision.

 

5.                                       Notice of Exercise; Payment.

 

(a)                                  To
the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by written notice to
the Secretary of the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares for which
the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of payment.

 

(b)                                 Payment
equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned Shares for which the Option
is being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of exercise in
cash in the form of currency or check or other cash equivalent acceptable to
the Company.  The Optionee may also
tender the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have been owned by
the Optionee for more than six months prior to the date of exercise, or (ii) by
any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender
in cash and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common
Shares.  Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted
Common Shares that are transferred by the Optionee in payment of all or any
part of the Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per
Share on the date of exercise.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Optionee is a resident of Canada for purposes of the
Canadian Tax Act, the aggregate Option Price shall be made in the form of cash
or check acceptable to the Company.

 

(d)                                 The
requirement of payment in cash shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee makes
arrangements that are satisfactory to the Company with a broker to sell on the
exercise date a sufficient number of Optioned Shares that are being purchased
pursuant to the exercise, so that the net proceeds of the sale transaction will
at least equal the amount of the aggregate Option Price plus payment of any
applicable withholding taxes, and pursuant to which the broker undertakes to
deliver to the Company the amount of the aggregate Option Price plus payment of
any applicable withholding taxes on a date satisfactory to the Company, but not

later than the date on which the sale transaction will
settle in the ordinary course of business.

 

(e)                                  As
a further condition precedent to the exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall
comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having
control of, or supervision over, the issuance of Common Shares and in
connection therewith shall execute any documents that the Board shall in its
sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 
The date of the Optionee’s written notice shall be the exercise date.

 

6.                                       Termination of Agreement.

 

(a)                                  This
Agreement and the Option granted hereby shall terminate automatically and
without further notice on the earliest of the following dates:

 

(i)            One
(1) year after the Optionee’s retirement at or after age 65;

 

(ii)           One
(1) year after the Optionee’s death if such death occurs while the
Optionee is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

(iii)          One
(1) year after the Optionee’s permanent and total disability, if the
Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled while an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiary and ceases to be an employee as a result of such
disability;

 

(iv)                              Except
as provided on a case-by-case basis, thirty (30) calendar days after the
Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any
reason other than as described in Section 6(a)(i), 6(a)(ii) or 6(a)(iii) hereof;
or

 

(v)                                 Ten
(10) years from the Date of Grant.

 

(b)                                 In
the event that the Optionee’s employment is terminated for just cause, this
Agreement shall terminate at the time of such termination notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement and the Optionee’s Option will cease to be
exercisable to the extent exercisable immediately prior to such termination and
no portion of the Option will be or become exercisable after such
termination.  For purposes of this
provision, “just cause” shall mean, with respect to an Optionee, “just cause”
as defined in any employment, severance or other agreement between the Company
or any Subsidiary and the Optionee, or if there is no such agreement in effect
that contains a definition of “just cause,” “just cause” shall mean willful
misconduct or willful neglect of duty by the Optionee, including, but not
limited to the commission by the Optionee of any of the following acts prior to
termination of employment:

 

(i)            an
intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any other material violation
of law in connection with the Optionee’s duties or in the course of the
Optionee’s employment;

 

3

 

(ii)                                  intentional
wrongful damage to material assets of the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

(iii)                               intentional
wrongful disclosure of material confidential information of the Company or any
Subsidiary;

 

(iv)                              intentional
wrongful engagement in any competitive activity that would constitute a
material breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

(v)                                 intentional
breach of any stated material employment policy of the Company or any
Subsidiary; or

 

(vi)                              any
other conduct that constitutes “cause” at common law.

 

(c)                                  For
the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Optionee with
the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and
the Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the
Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment
among the Company and the Subsidiaries or a leave of absence approved by the
Company.

 

7.             Acceleration of Option. 
Notwithstanding Section 3 hereof, the Option granted hereby shall
become immediately exercisable in full in the event of (a) a Change in
Control, (b) the Optionee’s retirement at or after age 65, (c) the
death of the Optionee if such death occurs while the Optionee is employed by
the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) the Optionee’s permanent and total
disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled while an
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

8.             No Employment Contract. 
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any
right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any
Subsidiary, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the
Optionee.

 

9.             Taxes and Withholding. 
To the extent that the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold
federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the exercise of the
Option, and the amounts available to the Company or a Subsidiary for such
