the transaction value of the common shares (Shares) of Keystone North America Inc. to be received
by SCI Alliance Acquisition Corporation, assuming the acceptance of the Offer by all holders of the
Shares, is calculated as follows: multiplying (a) 25,958,102, the total Shares outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis (as represented in the Support Agreement, dated October 14, 2009, by and among
Keystone North America Inc., SCI Alliance Acquisition Corporation and Service Corporation
International), by (b) CAD$8.00, the offer price to be paid for the Common Shares and (iii)
applying an exchange rate of CAD$1.00 = U.S.$0.9468 which is the inverse of the U.S.-dollar
foreign exchange rate in late New York trading published by Thompson Reuters for Canadian dollars
on November 12, 2009. |

for
C$8.07
CASH for each common share
(subject
to increase if the Offer is extended beyond a specified time
as described in the Original Offer (as hereinafter
defined))
This is a notice of extension (this Notice)
of the offer by SCI Alliance Acquisition Corporation (the
Offeror), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Service Corporation International (SCI), to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares
(Keystone Shares) in the capital of Keystone
North America Inc. (Keystone) (other than
those owned directly or indirectly by the Offeror, and
including, without limitation, the Keystone Shares represented
by the income participating securities (the
IPSs) of Keystone) as set forth in the Offer
dated November 16, 2009 (as amended by the notice of
extension dated December 18, 2009, by the notice of
extension dated January 27, 2010 and by the notice of
extension dated February 25, 2010), the accompanying
take-over bid circular and the letter of acceptance and
transmittal attached thereto (collectively the Original

NOTICE TO
SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES
THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY ANY
SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN CANADA OR THE UNITED STATES
NOR HAS ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN CANADA OR THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF SUCH
TRANSACTION OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY
IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
(cover continues on next
page)
This tender offer is made for the securities of a foreign
issuer and while the offer is subject to disclosure requirements
of the country in which the subject company is incorporated or
organized, investors should be aware that these requirements are
different from those of the United States. Financial statements
included herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with
foreign generally accepted accounting principles and thus may
not be comparable to financial statements of United States
companies.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the
federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact
that the subject company is located in a foreign country, and
that some or all of its officers and directors are residents of
a foreign country.
Investors should be aware that the bidder or its affiliates,
directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of the
issuers securities subject to the offer, or of the
issuers related securities, during the period of the
tender offer, as permitted by applicable Canadian laws or
provincial laws or regulations.
The disposition of Keystone Shares pursuant to the Offer or
any Second Stage Transaction (as defined in the Original Offer)
may have tax consequences under the Laws of both the United
States and Canada. Such United States tax consequences for
Shareholders (as hereinafter defined) that are residents of, or
citizens of, or otherwise subject to taxation in the United
States are not described in this Offer or the Original Offer. If
a U.S. Shareholder (as defined in the Original Offer) fails
to provide the Depositary (as defined in the Original Offer)
with the information solicited on the Substitute
Form W-9
set out in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal attached to
the Original Offer, or fails to certify that it is not subject
to U.S. backup withholding, the Depositary may be required
to withhold U.S. income tax from the payments of cash or
other consideration made to such U.S. Shareholder.
U.S. Shareholders are solely responsible for determining
the tax consequences applicable to their particular
circumstances and are urged to consult their tax advisors
concerning the Offer or any Second Stage Transaction.
As described in the Original Offer, Keystone has issued the
Keystone Shares under the CDSX book-entry system administered by
CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.
(CDS). Accordingly, other than the Keystone
Shares represented by IPSs, a nominee of CDS is the sole
registered holder of the outstanding Keystone Shares and
beneficial ownership of the outstanding Keystone Shares is
evidenced through book-entry credits to securities accounts of
CDS participants (for example, banks, trust companies and
securities dealers), who act as agents on behalf of beneficial
owners who are their customers, rather than by physical
certificates. In order to tender Keystone Shares to the Offer,
holders (each a Shareholder) of Keystone
Shares must complete the documentation and follow the
instructions to be provided to them by their respective CDS
participants. Shareholders who wish to tender Keystone Shares to
the Offer should contact their nominees for assistance. See the
section under the heading Manner of Acceptance in
the Original Offer.
A holder of IPSs who wishes to accept the Offer with respect to
the Keystone Shares represented by such IPSs must first separate
the IPSs into the Keystone Shares and Subordinated Notes (as
defined in the Original Offer) represented by the IPSs and then
deposit those Keystone Shares in accordance with the Offer. See
the section under the heading Manner of
Acceptance Deposit of Keystone Shares Represented by
IPSs in the Original Offer.
The
Depositary and Information Agent for the Offer is:
Kingsdale
Shareholder Services Inc.
Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to
Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. (the Information
Agent) at its address and telephone number shown on
the last page of this document, or your investment dealer,
stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer or other professional advisor.
Additional copies of this document or the Original Offer may be
obtained without charge on request from the Information Agent.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Notice, the information,
terms and conditions contained in the Original Offer continue to
be applicable in all respects and this Notice should be read in
conjunction therewith. Capitalized terms used but not defined in
this Notice have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
Original Offer, unless the subject matter or context is
inconsistent therewith.
(cover continues on next
page)
THIS NOTICE AND THE ORIGINAL OFFER CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION AND YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THEM IN THEIR ENTIRETY
BEFORE MAKING A DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Notice and the Original Offer are
forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. By
their nature, forward-looking statements require the Offeror and
SCI to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about the benefits of the combination
of SCI and Keystone, including future financial and operating
results, the anticipated timing of the closing of the
transaction, the combined companys plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions and other statements that are not
historical facts. These statements generally can be identified
by the use of forward-looking words such as may,
should, will, could,
intend, estimate, plan,
anticipate, except, believe
or continue or the negative or similar variations
thereof. Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements because a number of factors could
cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to
differ materially from financial and operating targets,
expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the
forward-looking statements. The Offeror and SCI have made
certain assumptions about the economy and the deathcare industry
and have also assumed that there will be no significant events
occurring outside of SCIs and Keystones normal
course of business. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially are described in the Original Offer under the
heading Forward-Looking Statements.
Although the Offeror and SCI have attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual actions, events or
results to differ materially from those described in
forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that
cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. The Offeror and SCI disclaim any
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as required by applicable Laws.
CURRENCY
AND EXCHANGE RATES
All dollar references in this Notice and the Original Offer are
in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated. On
March 15, 2010, the rate of exchange for the Canadian
dollar expressed in U.S. dollars, based on the noon rate as
provided by the Bank of Canada, was Canadian $1.00 = United
States $0.9788.

Expiry Time, being 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on

Withdrawal
of Deposited Keystone Shares
|
All deposits of Keystone Shares pursuant to the Offer are
irrevocable, except that any Keystone Shares deposited in
acceptance of the Offer may be withdrawn by or on behalf of the
depositing Shareholder at the place of deposit (unless otherwise
required or permitted by applicable Laws):
(a) at any time before the Keystone Shares have been taken
up by the Offeror; or

that the Offeror takes up such Keystone Shares, if such Keystone

In addition, if:
(c) there is a variation of the terms of the Offer before
the Expiry Time including any extension of the period during
which Keystone Shares may be deposited under the Offer or the
modification of a term or condition of the Offer, but excluding,
unless otherwise required by applicable Laws, (i) a
variation consisting solely of an increase in the consideration
offered where the time for deposit is not extended for more than
10 days after the notice of variation has been delivered or
(ii) a variation consisting solely of the waiver of a
condition of the Offer; or
(d) at or before the Expiry Time or after the Expiry Time
but before the expiry of all rights of withdrawal in respect of
the Offer, a change occurs in the information contained in the
Original Offer, as amended by this Notice and as further amended
from time to time, that would reasonably be expected to affect
the decision of a Shareholder to accept or reject the Offer,
unless such change is not within the control of the Offeror or
of any affiliate of the Offeror,
then any Keystone Shares deposited under the Offer and not taken
up by the Offeror prior to the date upon which the notice of
such variation or change is mailed, delivered or otherwise
communicated may be withdrawn by or on behalf of the depositing
Shareholder at the place of deposit at any time until the
expiration of 10 days after the date of such notice,
subject to abridgement of that period pursuant to such order or
orders as may be granted by Canadian courts or Canadian
securities regulatory authorities. If the Offeror waives any
terms or conditions of the Offer and extends the Offer in
circumstances where the rights of withdrawal set forth in this
paragraph are applicable, the Offer shall be extended without
the Offeror first taking up the Keystone Shares that are subject
to the rights of withdrawal. Reference is made to the section
under the heading Withdrawal of Deposited Keystone
Shares in the Original Offer for a complete description of
the right to withdraw Keystone Shares deposited under the Offer
and the procedures for exercising such right of withdrawal.

varied hereby, all terms of the Original Offer remain in effect,

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and
territories of Canada provides security holders of Keystone
