CORRECTIONAL SERVICES CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Correctional Services Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Due to
the pooling of interests business combination consummated on March 31,
1999, described in Note 2, the condensed consolidated financial statements
also include the accounts of Youth Services International, Inc. and its
subsidiaries ("YSI") for all periods presented.
In the opinion of management of Correctional Services Corporation and
subsidiaries (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1999, and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited financial statements of
the Company and YSI as of December 31, 1998. The statements herein are
presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements on Form 10-K for the Company
and Form 8-K for YSI have been omitted from these statements, as permitted
under the applicable rules and regulations. The statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related
notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 8-K for
YSI for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Form 8-K for CSC filed
September 28, 1999.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
NOTE 2 - POOLING OF INTERESTS BUSINESS COMBINATION
On March 31, 1999, the Company exchanged 3,114,614 shares of the Company's
common stock for all of the common stock of YSI. YSI operates juvenile
justice facilities and also provides aftercare services to adjudicated
youth. The above transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests and, accordingly the condensed consolidated financial statements
for the periods presented have been restated to include the accounts of
YSI.
Revenue and net income (loss)of the separate companies for the period
preceding the YSI merger were as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
In connection with the merger, during the first quarter of 1999, the
Company recorded a charge to operating expenses of approximately
$13,813,000 ($10,279,000, after taxes) for direct costs related to the
merger and certain other costs resulting from the restructuring of the
newly combined operations.
<PAGE> 7
Direct merger costs consisted primarily of fees to investment bankers,
attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and printing and other direct
costs. Restructuring charges included severance and change in control
payments made to certain former officers and employees of YSI and costs
associated with the consolidation of administrative functions and the
expected closure of certain facilities. Exit costs include charges
resulting from the cancellation of lease agreements and other long-term
commitments, the write-down of underutilized assets or assets to be
disposed of and miscellaneous other costs.
Merger costs and related restructuring charges are comprised of the
following (in thousands):
Direct merger costs $ 6,111
Restructuring charges:
Employee severance and change in control payments 2,339
Exit costs 4,410
Other 953
-------
Total $13,813
-------
-------
In addition, in connection with the merger, the Company assumed $32,200,000
of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures originally issued by YSI during
the year ended June 30, 1996. Under the terms of the indenture pursuant to
which YSI issued the Debentures, the acquisition of YSI by the Company
constituted a "change of control" thereby enabling the holders of the
Debentures to demand redemption by the Company. The applicable portion of
the unamortized costs related to the issuance of these debentures have been
appropriately written off and are included in the direct merger costs.
Agreements were reached with certain holders representing $30,500,000 of
the debentures to defer payment until March 31, 2000 leaving a balance of
$1,730,000 which was repaid in June 1999. (See Liquidity and Capital
Resources Section in Management Discussion and Analysis.)
NOTE 3 - DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
On August 21, 1999, the Company finalized a new $95 million financing
arrangement with Summit Bank, N.A., a New Jersey based national bank.
Simultaneously with the closing of the new credit facility, the Company
repaid its previously established credit facility. Consequently, in
accordance with FASB No. 125, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, as interpreted,
unamortized deferred financing costs of $1,622,000 associated with the
previously established credit facility were written off.
NOTE 4 - EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
In anticipation of entering into the new financing arrangement, the Company
agreed with certain holders of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
(who had previously agreed to postpone the redemption of their Debentures
until March 31, 2000) to redeem their Debentures upon the closing of the
new credit facilities. The agreed redemption price was equal to 90% of the
original principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest. In September
1999, the Company used approximately $14,750,000 of its available credit to
redeem $16,280,000 face value of Debentures leaving a balance of
$14,190,000. This transaction resulted in a gain of $985,000 (net of tax
of $643,000) or $.09 per share.
NOTE 5 - DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT AND STARTUP COSTS
In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company elected to adopt early the
AICPA's Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), ACCOUNTING FOR START-UP
COSTS. The accounting change required the Company to expense start-up and
deferred development costs as incurred, rather than capitalizing and
subsequently amortizing such costs. SOP 98-5 required the Company to record
a cumulative effect of change in accounting of $4,863,380 (net of tax
benefit of $3,180,000) retroactively to January 1, 1998. Due to this
implementation methodology, the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was
retroactively restated to reflect the cumulative effect of change in
accounting. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
operating expenses were restated to reflect the reversal of $642,000 and
$1,442,000, respectively of amortization expense. In addition, $2,355,000
and $9,238,000 of startup and development cost previously capitalized were
expensed as incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998.
<PAGE> 8
NOTE 6 - CONTRACT WITH THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
In December 1998 the Company entered into a contract with the State of
Louisiana (`the State") to operate the Tallulah Correctional Center for
Youth. This contract obligated the State to maintain the facility at a full
population of 686. Conditioned upon the State maintaining the 686
population level for the remaining term of the contract, the Company
entered into a verbal understanding with the State indicating it would only
invoice the State for the actual monthly population for a period of six-
months from the commencement of operations by the Company. At the end of
the six-month period, the State was to increase the population to the full
capacity or pay for its full utilization. In July 1999, the Company began
billing the State at the 686 population level of the original contract.
Revenues in the quarter, however, were only recognized for a population level of
620 (the population level the facility was approved to house by the local
judicial authority prior to commencement of operations by the Company). In
September 1999, the State unexpectedly indicated it could not commit to
achieve the population levels required by the contract for its remaining term
and subsequently, the Company discontinued operations of the September 24,
1999. The Company is currently pursuing payment of all funds that would be
owed under the original contract from the commencement of operation. The
Company does not anticipate any material losses to be incurred in conjunction
with this closure.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets consisting of a current portion of $2,716,000 and a
long-term portion of $11,394,000 reflect the tax effected impact of
temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and
regulations. The Company, after considering its pattern of profitability
and its anticipated future taxable income, believes it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995
This document contains forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 which are not historical facts and involve risks and
uncertainties. These include statements regarding the expectations,
beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. The Company intends
that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements reflect the Company's views as of the date they
are made with respect to future events and financial performance, but are
subject to many uncertainties and risks which could cause the actual
results of the Company to differ materially from any future results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Examples of such
uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to: the integration of
Youth Services International; occupancy levels; the renewal of contracts,
the ability to secure new contracts; availability and cost of financing to
redeem YSI's debentures and to expand our business; and public resistance
to privatization. Additional risk factors include those discussed in the
Company's joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated March 4, 1999. The Company
does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
The Company is one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of
juvenile rehabilitative services with 38 facilities and approximately 4,300
juveniles in its care. In addition, the Company is a leading developer and
operator of adult correctional facilities operating 19 facilities
representing approximately 7,200 beds. On a combined basis, as of September
30, 1999, the Company provided services in 21 states and Puerto Rico,
representing approximately 11,500 beds excluding aftercare services.
The Company's primary source of revenue is generated from the operation
of its facilities pursuant to contracts with federal, state and local
governmental agencies, and management agreements with third parties that
contract directly with governmental agencies. Generally, the Company's
contracts are based on a daily rate per resident, some of which have
guaranteed minimum payments; others provide for fixed monthly payments
irrespective of the number of residents housed. In addition, the Company
receives revenue for educational and aftercare services. The Company
recognizes revenue at the time the Company performs the services pursuant
to its contracts.
The Company typically pays all facility operating expenses, except for
rent or lease payments in the case of certain government-provided
facilities or for facilities for which the Company has only a management
contract. Operating expenses are principally comprised of costs directly
attributable to the management of the facility and care of the residents
which include salaries and benefits of administrative and direct
supervision personnel, food, clothing, medical services and personal
hygiene supplies. Other operating expenses are comprised of fixed costs
which consist of rent and lease payments, utilities, insurance,
depreciation and professional fees.
The Company also incurs costs as it relates to the start-up of new
facilities. Such costs are principally comprised of expenses associated
with the recruitment, hiring and training of staff, travel of personnel,
certain legal and other costs incurred after a contract has been awarded.
Contribution from operations consists of revenues minus operating
expenses and start-up costs. Contribution from operations, in general, is
lower in the initial stages of a facility's operations. This is due to the
need to incur a significant portion of the facility's operating expenses
while the facility is in the process of attaining full occupancy.
General and administrative costs primarily consist of salaries and
benefits of non-facility based personnel, insurance, professional fees,
rent and utilities associated with the operation of the Company's corporate
offices. In addition, general and administrative costs consist of
development costs principally comprised of travel, proposal development,
legal fees, and various consulting and other fees incurred prior to the
award of a contract.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 31, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of YSI, which
was accounted for using the pooling of interests method. The Company
issued 3,114,614 shares of the its common stock for all YSI capital
<PAGE> 10
stock. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
restated to reflect the combination with YSI.
On August 25, 1999, the Company announced that it did not intend to seek
renewal of its contract with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice for
the management of the Pahokee Youth Development Center (350 beds). On
October 24, 1999, the Company discontinued operations of this facility.
Also on August 25, 1999, the Company announced it would be closing the Camp
Washington facility in Virginia (45 beds) and the Los Hermanos Ranch in
Bryan, Texas (60 beds) in the fourth quarter.
In addition, during the third quarter 1999 the Company discontinued
operating the Travis County Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Austin,
Texas (74 beds) and the Hays County Juvenile Justice Center in San Marcos,
Texas (76 beds).
In September 1999, the Company informed the State of Louisiana that it
would not be feasible to continue operations of the Tallulah Correctional
Center for Youth because the State would not commit to increase the per
diem or achieve population levels as stated in the operating contract. On
September 24, 1999, the Company discontinued operations of this facility

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Revenue increased by $45.3 million or 34% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to $180.3 million compared to the same period in 1998.
The increase was primarily due to:
- An increase of $45.9 million generated from the opening of 11
juvenile facilities (1,500 beds) and 7 adult facilities (4,283 beds).
- A net increase of $3.3 million generated from per diem rate and
occupancy level increases in existing facilities.
- - A decrease of $3.5 million from the discontinuance of 6 programs (606
beds.)
Operating expenses increased $42.9 million or 37% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 to $159.1 million compared to the same period in
1998 due primarily to the opening of the 18 new facilities mentioned above.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 88.2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 86.1% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to a
number of facilities that were in their early stages of operations and were
experiencing less than optimal utilization rates. Depending on their cost
structure, facilities that are experiencing less than 85% utilization rates
generally incur
<PAGE> 12
significantly higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenue compared
to those at or near capacity. A portion of the increase was offset by lower
costs for resident and operating expenses as a result of the Company's
ability to negotiate better rates due to its increased size after the merger.
In addition, operating costs as a percentage of revenue were reduced due to
the implementation of enhanced financial controls and oversight of the
facilities acquired in the merger.
Startup costs were $980,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
compared to $7,840,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Startup for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, related to the
startup of the South Fulton, Georgia facility (212 beds), 300-bed expansion of
the Crowley, Colorado facility and the 45 bed expansion of the Bayamon, Puerto
Rico treatment facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
there were nine facilities (4,527 beds) generating start up costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $13.6 million for the
period ended September 30, 1998 to $10.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The decrease of $3.6 million in general and
administrative expenses was primarily attributable to:
- A $2.9 million reduction of deferred development costs.
- The reduction of the administrative staff of the YSI
subsidiary.
- The synergies realized from the merger including costs for
insurance, office expenses and travel.
As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 10.1%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is a result of the items
noted above and leveraging of the remaining costs over a larger revenue
base.
In late August 1998, the Company decided to close its program in College
Station, Texas. The program was a behavioral health program originally
intended to be sold with seven other behavioral health programs sold by the
YSI on October 31, 1997. This program was excluded from the October 31,
1997 sale and held for sale during 1998. The College Station facility
closed entirely on September 15, 1998. The Company recorded a charge of
$2,327,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1998 related to the
anticipated future losses related to the College Station facility. The
major components of the charge were as follows:
Future lease payments $1,250,000
Continuing maintenance and occupancy costs 858,000
Write-down of leasehold improvements and
other fixed assets 219,000
----------
$2,327,000
----------
----------
In connection with the merger, during the first quarter of 1999, the
Company recorded a charge to operating expenses of approximately
$13,813,000 ($10,279,000, after taxes) for direct costs related to the
merger and certain other costs resulting from the restructuring of the
newly combined operations. Direct merger costs consisted primarily of fees
to investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and
printing and other direct costs. Restructuring charges included severance
and change in control payments made to certain former officers and
employees of YSI and costs associated with the consolidation of
administrative functions and the expected closure of certain facilities.
Exit costs include charges resulting from the cancellation of lease
agreements and other long-term commitments, the write-down of underutilized
assets or assets to be disposed of and miscellaneous other costs.
YSI incurred $778,000 of merger related costs during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. Included in these merger costs were strategic
deal costs incurred by YSI during its initial pursuit of strategic
alternatives as announced on June 19, 1998 of $472,000 and $306,000 related
to the Youth Services International merger with Community Corrections, Inc.
in June 1998.
Merger costs and related restructuring charges are comprised of the
following (in thousands) for the nine months ended September 30:

In September 1999, the Company wrote off $1,622,000 or ($0.09) per share
after taxes of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the
previously established credit facility which was repaid in full on
September 1, 1999.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $2,218,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to interest expense, net of
interest income of $1,543,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
a net increase in interest expense of $675,000. This increase resulted
from borrowings on the Company's credit facility to finance the growth of
the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company recognized an
income tax benefit of $1,001,000 and an income tax expense of $643,000
related to the extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt associated with
the YSI 7% Convertible Debt, representing an effective tax benefit of 6.2%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 the Company recognized a
benefit for income taxes of $1,790,000 and an income tax benefit of
$3,180,000 related to the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle representing an effective tax benefit of 32.4%. The reduction in
the effective tax rate was a result of expensing certain merger costs that
are non-deductible for tax purposes.
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 the Company had a net loss of ($6,400,000) and a net
loss of ($5,415,000) or ($0.57) and ($0.48) per share before and after the
extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 the Company had a net loss of ($5,519,000)
and a net loss of ($10,382,000) or ($0.51) and ($0.96) per share before and
after the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle,
respectively.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Revenue increased by $9.7 million or 19% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 to $60.5 million compared to the same period in 1998 due
primarily to an increase in the number of residents housed by the Company.
The net change was primarily due to:
- An increase of $12.3 million generated from the opening of 9
juvenile facilities (1,254 beds) and 3 adult facilities (2,262 beds).
- A net increase of $1.5 million generated from per diem rate and
occupancy level increases in existing facilities.
- A decrease of $4.1 million from the discontinuance of the 6 programs (606
beds.)
Operating expenses increased $8.4 million or 19% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $53.0 million compared to the same period in
1998 due primarily to the opening of the 12 new facilities mentioned above.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 87.6% for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 87.8% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
costs for resident and operating expenses as a result of the Company's
ability to negotiate better rates due to its increased size. In addition,
operating costs as a percentage of revenue were reduced due to the
implementation of enhanced financial controls and oversight of the
facilities acquired in the merger. The majority of this decrease was
offset by certain facilities, which experienced less than optimal
utilization rates. Depending on their cost structure, facilities that are
<PAGE> 14
experiencing less than 85% utilization rates generally incur significantly
higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenue compared to those at
or near capacity.
Startup costs were $222,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $1,685,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
During the three months ended September 30, 1998, there were four
facilities in the startup phase of operations. During the three months
ended September 30, 1999, the Bayamon, Puerto Rico facility incurred start
up costs relating to the 45-bed expansion.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $4.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in deferred development
costs of $934,000 and the reduction of the administrative staff and
corporate overhead of the YSI subsidiary and synergies achieved from the
merger.
As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 9.3%
for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is a result of
leveraging these reduced costs over a larger revenue base.
Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999
consist of the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs of
$1,622,000 associated with the previously established credit facility which
was paid in full on September 1, 1999. For the three months ended
September 30, 1998 other operating expenses consisted of College Station
closure costs of $2,327,000 as detailed out in the nine-month comparison
above and merger related costs of $472,000. The merger related costs for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 were strategic deal costs
incurred by YSI during its original pursuit of strategic alternatives
consisting primarily of professional fees.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $736,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to interest expense, net of
interest income of $560,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
a net increase in interest expense of $176,000. This increase resulted
from prior borrowings on the Company's credit facility to finance the
substantial growth of the Company during late 1998 and early 1999.
For the three months ended September 30, 1999 the Company recognized an
income tax provision of $648,000 and $643,000 related to the extraordinary
gain on extinguishment of debt associated with the YSI 7% Convertible Debt,
representing an effective tax rate of 39.5%. For the three months ended
September 30, 1998 the Company recognized a benefit for income taxes of
$354,000 representing an effective tax benefit of 9.9%.
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 the Company had net income of $994,000 and net income of
$1,979,000 or $0.09 and $0.18 per share before and after the extraordinary
gain on extinguishment of debt, respectively. For the three months ended
September 30, 1998 the Company had a net loss of ($3,207,000) or ($0.29)
per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1999, the Company had $3,743,000 in cash and working
capital of $10,984,000, as compared to December 31, 1998 when the Company
had $7,639,000 in cash and a working capital deficit of ($6,940,000). The
increase in the Company's working capital during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was attributable primarily to the redemption of
approximately $18,010,000 of the YSI's subordinated debenture obligations,
which were classified as current liabilities at December 31, 1998. These
subordinated debentures were repaid with proceeds from long term senior
debt and cash. The decrease in cash is further explained below.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,321,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to net cash used in operating activities
of $8,625,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The change is
attributable primarily to:
- An increase in net income
- The payment of cash expenses related to the merger in 1999.
<PAGE> 15
- An increase in accounts receivable related to the opening of
new facilities.
Net cash of $2,841,000 was used in investing activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $5,956,000 used in investing
activities in the nine months ended September 30, 1998. In the 1999 period
such cash was used principally for:
- Capital expenditures related to the opening of new facilities.
- Leasehold improvements on existing facilities.
- Merger related computer technology and upgrades.
- Land improvement for future development.
In the comparable period for 1998, the principal investing activities of
the Company were:
- Capital expenditures related to the opening of new facilities;
- Offset by the receipt of $4,500,000 from the sale of the Behavioral
Health business owned by YSI.
Net cash of $1,266,000 was provided by financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $7,922,000 provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. During
the 1999 period the Company's primary sources and uses of funds were:
- Net proceeds of $16,580,000 from the Company's revolving credit
facilities primarily used to redeem a portion of the subordinated
debt as noted below.
- Receipt of $3,278,000 from the exercise of stock options and
warrants.
- Redemption of subordinated debt totaling $17,383,000.
- Payment of debt issuance costs of $2,363,000.
In the comparable period for 1998, the primary sources and uses of cash
provided by financing activities were:
- Proceeds from the Company's revolving credit agreement of $9,742,000.
- Proceeds of $1,694,000 received from the exercise of stock
options and warrants.
- Repayments of short-term borrowings and long-term debt of $1,448,000.
- Redemption of subordinated debt totaling $2,886,000.
On August 31, 1999, the Company finalized a new $95 million financing
arrangement with Summit Bank, N.A., a New Jersey based national bank. The
new financing consists of the following components:
- $30 million revolving line of credit to be used by the Company
and its subsidiaries for working capital and general corporate
purposes and to finance the acquisition of facilities, properties and
other businesses.
- $20 million credit facility which provides the Company with
additional financing to be used by the Company to fund the redemption
of the outstanding 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due March 31,
2000 that were issued by the Youth Services International, Inc.,
a subsidiary of the Company (the "Debentures").
<PAGE> 16
- $45 million in financing which may be used by the Company to
purchase land and property and to finance the construction of new
facilities through an operating lease arrangement.
Simultaneously with the closing of the new credit facilities, the
Company used approximately $13,080,000 of the available credit under the
revolving line of credit facility to discharge all of its outstanding line
of credit banking indebtedness to NationsBank, N.A., fees related to the
financing and repayment of other indebtedness. At September 30, 1999 the
Company has $16,920,000 available under the new revolving line of credit.
Additionally, in connection with the closing of the new credit
facilities, the Company used approximately $18,984,000 of its available
credit under the lease credit facility to discharge its obligations to
NationsBank under a similar financing vehicle previously provided by
NationsBank to the Company. As a result, the Company currently has
$26,016,000 available for additional property acquisition and construction
under this operating lease financing facility.
In anticipation of entering into the new credit facilities with Summit
Bank, the Company agreed with certain holders of the Debentures (who had
previously agreed to postpone the redemption of their Debentures until
March 31, 2000) to redeem their Debentures upon the closing of the new
credit facilities at a redemption price equal to 90% of the original
principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Company
used approximately $14,750,000 of its available credit under the delayed
draw down facility to redeem $16,280,000 face value of these Debentures.
As a result of the above note redemptions, approximately $14,190,000
in principal amount of these Debentures remain outstanding at September 30,
1999. Absent a different agreement, the Company will be required to redeem
these remaining Debentures on March 31, 2000 at 100% of the original
principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Company
expects to utilize its credit facility to repay the balance of the
Debentures.
The Company continues to make cash investments in the acquisition and
construction of new facilities and the expansion of existing facilities. In
addition, the Company expects to continue to have cash needs as it relates
to financing start-up costs in connection with new contracts. In addition
the Company is continuing to evaluate opportunities, which could require
significant outlays of cash. If such opportunities are pursued the Company
would require additional financing resources. Management believes these
additional resources may be available through alternative financing
methods.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 problem is the result of two potential malfunctions that could
have an impact on the Company's operations. First, many computer systems and
software currently in use have been programmed to use two digits rather than
four to identify the year. Consequently, the year 2000 could be incorrectly
interpreted as the year 1900. The second potential problem that embedded
chips used in various equipment may also have been designed using the two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. These chips are
sometimes used in the security and communication equipment used at certain
of the Company's facilities.
The Company has established a Year 2000 Program Management Plan (PMP),
chartered to prepare and assess the Company's readiness for the year 2000.
The Company's corporate MIS department has conducted an in-depth assessment
and remediation of its key information technology systems including its
client server operating systems and critical financial and non-financial
applications. Based on this assessment, the Company believes that these key
information technology systems are Year 2000 compliant. However,no assurance
that coding errors or other defects will not be discovered in the future that
will result in the replacement of the affected hardware, software or equipment.
The Company's Corporate MIS staff continues to evaluate the remaining non-
critical information technology systems for Year 2000 compliance and to
inventory, assess and correct or replace equipment that contains embedded
chips that will have a direct impact on inmate security or employee safety.
Under the guidelines of the PMP, the Company has drawn upon the expertise,
both internally and externally, of technical experts who specialize in Year
2000 issues. The Company has contacted and is relying on information provided
by vendors and manufacturers regarding the Y2K compliance status of their
products. There can be no assurances that in all instances accurate informa-
<PAGE> 17
tion is being provided by these vendors and manufacturers and the Company can
not guarantee the repair, replacement or upgrade of all equipment on a timely
basis.
Contingency planning continues to be established and implemented in an
effort to minimize any impact from Y2K related failures of such equipment
that might arise on and around January 1, 2000. The planning also addresses
financial and operational problems which in the event of systems disruptions
and the identification of alternative vendors and back-up processes that do
not rely on computers, whenever possible. As part of the Company's general
operational policy, CSC's facilities have existing continge outcome of their
efforts.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur expenses allocable
to internal staff, as well as costs for outside consultants, computer and
non-information technology systems remediation and replacement, in order to
achieve Year 2000 compliance. In addition, the Company is working with its
financing entities to finalize its contingency plan relating to the availa-
bility of liquidity in the event of systems disruptrational policy, CSC's
facilities have existing continge
tcome of their efforts.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur expenses
allocable to internal staff, as well as costs for outside consultants,
computer and non-information technology systems remediation and replacement,
in order to achieve Year 2000 compliance. In addition, the Company is working
with its financing entities to finalize its contingency plan relating to the
availability of liquidity in the event of systems disruptions of third
parties. The Company estimates it has invested approximately $500,000 in
connection with its PMP, which was funded through cash flows from operations.
These estimated final costs of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program of
$650,000 are based on current estimates, which reflect numerous assumptions
about future events, including the continued availability of certain resources,
the timing and effectiveness of third-party remediation plans and other factors.
The Company can give no assurance that these estimates will be achieved, and
actual results could differ materially from the Company's plans. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in specific areas,
the ability to locate and correct relevant non-compliant software and
embedded technology, the results of internal and external testing and the
timeliness and effectiveness of remediation efforts of third parties.
This entire section "Year 2000 Issue" is hereby designated a "Year 2000
Readiness Disclosure" under and subject to the United States Year 2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (1998).
RISK FACTORS
DECREASES IN OCCUPANCY LEVELS AT OUR FACILITIES MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
While the cost structures of the facilities we operate are relatively
fixed, a substantial portion of our revenues are generated under facility
management contracts with government agencies that specify a net rate per
day per inmate/juvenile or a per diem rate, with no minimum guaranteed occupancy
levels. Under this per diem rate structure, a decrease in occupancy levels
may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity. We are dependent upon the governmental
agencies with which we have management contracts to provide inmates for,
and maintain the occupancy level of, our managed facilities. We cannot
control those occupancy levels. In addition, our ability to estimate and
control our costs with respect to all of these contracts is critical to our
profitability.
During 1998, YSI experienced a significant decline in the occupancy
levels of certain of its facilities, which has caused its contributions
from operations to decline. Occupancy levels may decline at the Company's
facilities in the future and new and existing facilities might not reach
occupancy levels required to produce profitability.
THE NON-RENEWAL OR TERMINATION OF OUR FACILITY MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS, WHICH
GENERALLY RANGE FROM ONE TO THREE YEARS, COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
<PAGE> 18
As is typical in our industry, our facility management contracts are
short-term, generally ranging from one to three years, with renewal or
extension options in favor of the contracting governmental agency. Many of
the Company's contracts renew annually. Our facility management contracts
may not be renewed or our customers may terminate such contracts in accordance
with their right to do so. The non-renewal or termination of any of these
contracts could materially adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity, including our ability to secure new
facility management contracts from others.
A contracting governmental agency often has a right to terminate a
facility contract with or without cause by giving us adequate notice. If a
governmental agency does not receive necessary appropriations, it could
terminate its contract or reduce the management fee payable to us. Even if
funds are appropriated, delays in payments may occur which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity. A contracting government agency could notify us that we are
not in compliance with certain provisions of a facility contract. Our failure
to cure any such noncompliance could result in termination of the facility
contract, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity. We also currently lease many of the
facilities that we manage. If a management contract for a leased facility
were terminated, we would continue to be obligated to make lease payments
until the lease expires.
WE FACE FINANCIAL RISKS RELATING TO SPECULATIVE PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE
LOSS OF INITIAL OUTLAYS ON CONTRACTS NOT AWARDED TO US.
In some cases, we may decide to construct and own a facility without a
contract award when we believe there is a need for the facility and a
strong likelihood we will be awarded a contract. However, we take the risk
that a contract may not be awarded. If contracts do not materialize, the
initial outlays may be lost.
OUR ABILITY TO SECURE NEW CONTRACTS TO DEVELOP AND MANAGE CORRECTIONAL
DETENTION FACILITIES DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS WE CANNOT CONTROL.
Our growth is generally dependent upon our ability to obtain new
contracts to develop and manage new correctional and detention facilities.
This depends on a number of factors we cannot control, including crime
rates and sentencing patterns in various jurisdictions and acceptance of
privatization. Certain jurisdictions have recently required successful
bidders to make a significant capital investment in connection with the
financing of a particular project, a trend which will require the Company to
have sufficient capital resources to compete effectively. If such capital
resources are required, we may or may not be able to obtain them.
WE FACE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN EXPANDING OUR OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE
UNITED STATES AND ITS TERRITORIES, INCLUDING NEW AND UNFAMILIAR REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS, CURRENCY EXCHANGE ISSUES, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES, AND
STAFFING AND MANAGING THESE OPERATIONS.
Our business plan includes the possible expansion of our operations into
markets outside of the United States and its territories. We may not
succeed in entering any of these markets, and if we are successful, we will
be subject to similar risks of international operations faced by US
Enterprises operating abroad. These risks include various new and unfamiliar
regulatory requirements, issues relating to currency exchange, political and
economic changes and disruptions, tariffs or other barriers, and difficulties
in staffing and managing foreign operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE GROWTH WE ANTICIPATE, OR IF ACHIEVED, WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE IT.
CSC has experienced significant growth and expects that the Company will
also continue to grow. Successful growth depends on our ability to obtain and
train qualified personnel to handle the increasing number of juveniles and
adults in our care, to develop and operate the information technology systems
and financial controls necessary to manage expanded operations, to manage our
resources over a larger base of programs and activities, and to integrate
efficiently and effectively the business and financial any newly developed
programs. We may not be able to achieve the growth anticipated or, if
achieved, we may not be able to effectively manage it.
<PAGE> 19
FUTURE ACQUISITIONS MAY INVOLVE SPECIAL RISKS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE ADVERSE
SHORT-TERM EFFECTS ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS, DIVERSION OF MANAGEMENT'S
ATTENTION FROM EXISTING BUSINESS, DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL,
UNANTICIPATED LIABILITIES AND COSTS OF AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS.
ANY OF THESE RISKS COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
The Company also intends to grow through selective acquisitions
of companies and individual facilities although there are no current plans
or agreements to acquire any other companies. We may not be able to
identify or acquire any new company or facility and we may not be able to
profitably manage acquired operations. Acquisitions involve a number of
special risks, including possible adverse short-term effects on our
operating results, diversion of management's attention from existing
business, dependence on retaining, hiring and training key personnel, risks
associated with unanticipated liabilities, and the costs of amortization of
acquired intangible assets, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
PUBLIC RESISTANCE TO PRIVATIZATION OF CORRECTIONAL AND DETENTION FACILITIES
COULD RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO OBTAIN NEW CONTRACTS OR THE LOSS OF
EXISTING CONTRACTS.
The operation of correctional and detention facilities by private
entities is a relatively new concept and has not achieved complete
acceptance by either governments or the public. The movement toward
privatization of correctional and detention facilities has also encountered
resistance from certain groups, such as labor unions and others that
believe that correctional and detention facility operations should only be
conducted by governmental agencies. Political changes or changes in
attitudes toward private correctional and detention facilities management
in any market in which we will operate could result in significant changes
to the previous acceptance of privatization in such market and the
subsequent loss of facility management contracts. Further, some sectors of
the federal government and some state and local governments are not legally
permitted to delegate their traditional operating responsibilities for
correctional and detention facilities to private companies.
OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH UNIQUE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION COULD RESULT IN
MATERIAL PENALTIES OR NON-RENEWAL OR TERMINATION OF OUR FACILITY MANAGEMENT
CONTRACTS.
The industry in which we operate is subject to extensive federal, state
and local regulations, including education, health care and safety
regulations, which are administered by many regulatory authorities. Some of
the regulations are unique to our industry, and the combination of
regulations we face is unique. Our contracts typically include extensive
reporting requirements, and supervision and on-site monitoring by
representatives of the contracting governmental agencies. Corrections
officers and youth care workers are customarily required to meet certain
training standards and, in some instances, facility personnel are required to
be licensed and subject to background investigation. Certain jurisdictions
also require us to award subcontracts on a competitive basis or to
subcontract businesses owned by members of minority groups. We may not always
successfully comply with these regulations. Our businesses also are subject
to operational and financial audits by the governmental agencies with which
we have contracts. The outcomes of these audits could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
DISTURBANCES AT ONE OR MORE OF OUR FACILITIES COULD RESULT IN CLOSURE OF
THESE FACILITIES BY THE RELEVANT GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AND A LOSS OF OUR
CONTRACTS TO MANAGE THESE FACILITIES.
An escape, riot or other disturbance at one of our facilities could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity. Among other things, the adverse publicity generated as a
result any such event could have a material adverse effect on our ability
to retain an existing contract or obtain future ones. In addition, if such
an event occurs, there is a possibility that the facility where the event
occurred may be shut down by the relevant governmental entity. A closure of
any of our facilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity.
INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY BE INADEQUATE OR UNAVAILABLE TO COVER POTENTIAL
LIABILITY RELATED TO MANAGEMENT OF CORRECTIONAL AND DETENTION FACILITIES.
Our management of correctional and detention facilities exposes us to
potential third-party claims or litigation by prisoners or other persons
for personal injury or other damages, including damages resulting from
contact with our facilities, programs, personnel or students (including
<PAGE> 20
students who leave our facilities without our authorization and cause
bodily injury or property damage). Currently, we are subject to actions
initiated by former employees, inmates and detainees alleging assault,
sexual harassment, personal injury, property damage, and other injuries. In
addition, our management contracts generally require us to indemnify the
governmental agency against any damages to which the governmental agency
may be subject in connection with such claims or litigation. We maintain
insurance programs that provide coverage for certain liability risks faced
by us, including personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage
to a third party where we are found to be negligent. There is no assurance,
however, that our insurance will be adequate to cover potential third-party
claims. In addition, we are unable to secure insurance for some unique
business risks including riot and civil commotion or the acts of an escaped
offender.
Committed offenders often seek redress in federal courts pursuant to
federal civil rights statutes for alleged violations of their
constitutional rights caused by the overall condition of their confinement
or by specific conditions or incidents. We may be subject to liability if
any such claim or proceeding is made or instituted against us or the state
with which we contract or subcontract.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's current financing is subject to variable rates of interest
and is therefore exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's
subordinated debt and mortgage on property accrues interest at fixed rates
of interest.
The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted average
interest rates, fair value and other terms, by year of expected maturity,
required to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest
rate changes. Actual maturities may differ because of prepayment rights.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
the 29{th} day of September 1999 by and between Correctional Services
Corporation ("CSC" or "Employer") and James F. Slattery ("Employee").
WHEREAS, Employee has been employed under an employment agreement
dated February 17, 1998 (the "Existing Agreement") and Employee and Employer
desire to continue the employment of Employee as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of CSC on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, parties are entering into contemporaneously herewith a
Change in Control Agreement (the "Change in Control Agreement").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration the
receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. POSITION AND DUTIES. CSC hereby continues to employ Employee
and Employee hereby accepts continued employment and agrees to continue to
serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of CSC. Employee will
perform all duties and responsibilities and will have all authority
inherent in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, subject
to the power of the Board of Directors to modify, expand and limit such
duties, responsibilities and authorities.
2. TERM. The period of Employee's employment under this
Agreement will be for an initial term of three years. Following the first
anniversary of this Agreement, the period of employment under this
Agreement will be automatically extended by successive one-year terms,
unless terminated prior to any anniversary of this Agreement by written
notice by either party to the other no less than ninety (90) days prior to
the end of any anniversary. In such event, the Agreement will terminate
three years from the anniversary of this Agreement immediately prior to
which a notice of termination was given.
3. COMPENSATION.
(a) BASE SALARY. For all of the services rendered by
Employee during the period of employment, CSC will pay Employee a base
salary at the rate of not less than $270,000 per year. For each year of
the Term after the first year, the Company shall pay to Employee a cost of
living increase. The amount shall be determined by multiplying the annual
base salary then in effect by a percentage equal to the excess, if any, of
the United States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index -- New York
Metropolitan area - all items (the "CPI") on the last day of the year
preceding the year for which the calculation is being made above the CPI on
the date hereof. However, under no circumstances shall the cost of living
increase be less than 3.5% per annum. The annual base salary shall be
payable at such regular times and intervals as the Company customarily pays
its employees from time to time.
<PAGE> 1
(b) INCENTIVE BONUS. For each fiscal year of CSC during which the
Employee is employed by the Company, Employee shall be entitled to receive
a bonus equal to five (5%) percent of the Company's earnings before income
tax provision ("pre-tax profits") in excess of $1,000,000, which bonus
shall not exceed $200,000. Payment of the bonus, if any, shall be made
within thirty (30) days from receipt of the audited financial statement for
each fiscal year of the Company. Each bonus payment shall be accompanied
by the Company's financial statement for the requisite period and a
schedule calculating such bonus. Pre-tax profits determined by the Company
and audited by the Company's independent auditors shall be final and
binding. For purposes hereof, pre-tax profits shall not include
extraordinary gains and losses and shall be determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. In the
event the Employee works for less than a full fiscal year (other than in
the first fiscal year of the term), his bonus for that fiscal year shall be
pro-rated.
4. BENEFITS.
(a) CSC will provide Employee with the full-time use of a
Company automobile. The Company shall purchase all relevant insurance and
pay for all fuel and repairs.
(b) Employee will be entitled to four weeks of vacation per
fiscal year. Employee will be eligible for and will participate in,
without action by the Board of Directors of CSC or any committee thereof,
any additional benefits and perquisites available to executive officers of
CSC, including any group health, life insurance, disability, or other form
of employee benefit plan or program of CSC now existing or that may be
later adopted by CSC. This includes the health, dental and life insurance
programs CSC provides currently to its executives.
5. TERMINATION.
(a) BY EMPLOYER WITH CAUSE. This Agreement may be terminated
by CSC for Cause by written notice to Employee specifying the event relied
upon for such termination within 30 days of such event. The term "Cause"
will mean after written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure: (i)
the material failure by Employee to perform such duties as are reasonably
incidental to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii)
any instance of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Employee in the
performance of Employee's duties; (iii) the conviction of a felony; (iv)
chronic absenteeism; (v) substance abuse; or (vi) Employee's breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 8 of this Agreement.
(b) UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. Employee's employment will
terminate immediately upon Employee's death and in that event Employee's
base salary and incentive compensation will be paid to Employee's estate or
legally appointed representative through the end of the third month
following the month in which Employee's death occurs. If Employee become
physically or mentally disabled so as to become unable for a period of more
than five consecutive months or for shorter periods aggregating at least
five months during any twelve-month period to perform Employee's duties
hereunder on a substantially full-time basis, Employee's employment will
terminate as of the end of such five-month or twelve-month period and in
that event Employee's base salary and incentive compensation will be paid
to the Employee or his legally appointed representative through the end of
the third month following the month in which the employment terminated.
Such termination will not affect Employee's benefits under CSC's disability
insurance program, if any, then in effect.
<PAGE> 3
6. CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT. Nothing in this Agreement shall
adversely affect the rights of the Employee under the Change in Control
Agreement. In the event of a termination of employment pursuant to which
Employee is entitled to compensation under the Change in Control Agreement,
he shall be entitled to no additional compensation or benefits hereunder.

employment with CSC, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, on

or otherwise, enter into the employ of, render any service to, or engage in
any business or activity which is the same as or competitive with any
business or activity conducted by CSC or any of its majority owned
subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to
prevent the Employee from investing in securities of any company having a
class of securities which is publicly traded, so long as through such
investment holdings in the aggregate, the Employee is not deemed to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of securities that are so
publicly traded. During the period of Employee's employment and until two
years after the termination of Employee's employment, Employee will not,
directly or indirectly, on Employee's own behalf or as a partner,

member of any person, firm or corporation or otherwise, seek to employ or
otherwise seek the services of any employee of CSC or any of its majority
owned subsidiaries.

acquired by Employee at any time prior to or during the term of Employee's
employment with CSC, except with the specific prior written consent of CSC.
(c) WORK PRODUCT. Employee agree that all programs,
inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs,
analyses, reports and all similar or related information which relate to
the business of CSC and its affiliates, actual or anticipated, or to any
actual or anticipated research and development conducted in connection with
the business of CSC and its affiliates, and all existing or future products
or services, which are conceived, developed or made by Employee (alone or
with others) during the term of this Agreement ("Work Product") belong to
CSC. Employee will cooperate fully in the establishment and maintenance of
all rights of CSC and its affiliates in such Work Product. The provisions
of this Section 7(c) will survive termination of this Agreement
indefinitely to the extent necessary to require actions to be taken by
Employee after the termination of the Agreement with respect to Work
Product created during the Agreement.
<PAGE> 3
(d) ENFORCEMENT. If any covenant or agreement contained in
this Section 7 is found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable
in duration, geographical scope or character of restriction, the covenant
or agreement will not be rendered unenforceable thereby but rather the

or agreement will be reduced or modified with retroactive effect to make
such covenant or agreement reasonable, and such covenant or agreement will
be enforced as so modified.

court having jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, any
such arbitration will take place in Sarasota, Florida and will be conducted
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If
the Employee is the prevailing party in any such arbitration, he will be

(including attorneys' fees incurred in such arbitration).
10. ASSIGNMENT. Employee may not assign, transfer, convey,
mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or in any way encumber the compensation or
other benefits payable to Employee or any rights which Employee may have

(a)The Company shall pay the Employee his full base salary
through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which the Employee is
entitled under any compensation plan of the Company in which the Employee
is participating at the time of termination, payable at the time such
payments are due, except as otherwise provided below.
<PAGE> 2
(b) In lieu of any further salary payments to the Employee
for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as
severance pay to the Employee a lump sum severance payment (together with
the payments provided in clause (c) of this Subsection, the "Severance
Payments") equal to three times the sum of (i) the Employee's annual base
salary and incentive bonus earned by the Employee, whether paid to the
Employee by the Company or due to the Employee from the Company, for the
calendar year immediately preceding the Notice of Termination and (ii) any
and all additional monetary compensation earned by the Employee, whether
paid to the Employee by the Company or due to the Employee from the
Company, during such calendar year. In addition, the Company shall pay to
the Employee a lump sum payment equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
as payment for the Employee's agreement to extend his non-competition and
non-solicitation covenants in Section 7(a) of his Employment Agreement to
four (4) years following the date of termination.

and expenses incurred by the Employee as a result of such termination
(including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or
disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right
or benefit provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit
or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999
of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder).
(e) If the payments provided under Subsections (b) and/or (c)
above (the "Contract Payments") or any other portion of the Total Payments
(as defined below) will be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code (the "Excise Tax"), the Company shall pay to the Employee at the
time specified in subsection (f) below, an additional amount (the "Gross-Up
Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Employee, after
deduction of any Excise Tax on the Contract Payments and such other Total
Payments and any federal and state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon
the payment provided for by this clause, shall be equal to the Contract
Payments and such other Total Payments. For purposes of determining
whether any of the payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the
amount of such Excise Tax, (i) any other payments or benefits received or
to be received by the Employee in connection with a Change in Control of
the Company or the Employee's termination of employment (whether payable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or
agreement with the Company, its successors, any person whose actions result
in a Change in Control of the Company or any corporation affiliated (or
which, as a result of the completion of a transaction causing a Change in
Control of the Company, will become affiliated) with the Company within the
meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) (together with the Contract Payments,
the "Total Payments") shall be treated as "parachute payments" within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as
subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by
the Company's independent auditors and acceptable to the Employee the Total
<PAGE> 3
Payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or
such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code either to the extent such reasonable compensation
is in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of
the Code, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, (ii) the amount
of the Total Payments that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax
shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount of the Total Payments
or (B) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (i), above), and (iii) the value
of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with the
principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of
determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be
deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal
income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be
made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
taxation in the state and locality of the Employee's residence on the Date
of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which
could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. In the
event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the
amount taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of the
Employee's employment, the Employee shall repay to the Company at the time
that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the
portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the
portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal
and state and local income tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid
by the Employee if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax
and/or a federal and state and local income tax deduction) plus interest on
the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(d) of the
Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount
taken into account hereunder at the time of the termination of the
Employee's employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or
amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment),
the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such
excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time
that the amount of such excess is finally determined.
(f) The payments provided for in Subsections (b), (c), and
(e) above, shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of
Termination, provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot
be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the
Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the
Company, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder
of such payments (together with interest at a rate equal to 120% of the
rate provided in Section 1274(d) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof
can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the
Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such
excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Employee payable on
the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at a rate
equal to 120% of the rate provided in Section 1274(d) of the Code).
(g) Any options held by the Employee to purchase any
securities of the Company which are not exercisable as of the Date of
Termination, notwithstanding any other provision of the option or any plan
under which it was granted or issued regarding vesting or exercisability or
otherwise, shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the Date of
Termination and all options held by the Employee (including those already
exercisable and those that become exercisable pursuant to this Subsection
(g)), shall remain exercisable for the balance of their respective terms
and all other terms of the options shall remain in full force and effect.
<PAGE> 4
(h) The Company shall arrange to provide the Employee, for a
period of 36 months from and after the Date of Termination, with life,
disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to
those that the Employee was receiving immediately prior to the Notice of
Termination. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Employee pursuant to
this Subsection shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are
actually received by the Employee during the 36-month period following the
Employee's termination, and any such benefits actually received by the
Employee shall be reported to the Company.
(i) In addition to all other amounts payable to the Employee,
the Employee shall be entitled to receive all benefits payable to the
Employee under any applicable retirement, thrift, and incentive plans as
well as any other plan or agreement sponsored by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries relating to retirement benefits.
3. NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any purported termination of the
Employee's employment by the Company or by the Employee shall be
communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in
accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement.
4. NO MITIGATION. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate
the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit
provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Employee as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement
benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Employee
to the Company, or otherwise except as specifically provided in Subsection
2(h).
5. TERMINATION IN CONTEMPLATION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. In
connection with a termination of Employee's employment in contemplation of
a Change in Control, any reference in this Agreement with regard to any
measurement date or time or the parameters of any time period that
references the time or date of the Change in Control shall be deemed to
mean either (a) the date or time of the occurrence constituting the Date of
Termination by the Company, or (b) the date or time of the Change in
Control, as the context would require to effectuate the intent of the
provisions of this Agreement.
6. DEATH. If the Employee should die while any amount would
still be payable to the Employee hereunder if the Employee had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid to
the Employee's legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee,
to the Employee's estate.
<PAGE> 5
7. SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, share exchange, consolidation or
otherwise and whether by operation of law or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and to agree to perform the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to compensation from the Company
in the same amount and on the same terms as the Employee would be entitled
to hereunder as if the Employee terminated the Employee's employment
following a Change in Control of the Company, except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes
effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Employee's personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, heirs, distributees and legatees.
(c) In the event that the Employee is employed by a
subsidiary of the Company wherever in this Agreement reference is made to
the "Company," unless the context otherwise requires, such reference shall
also include such subsidiary. The Company shall cause such subsidiary to
carry out the terms of this Agreement insofar as they relate to the
employment relationship between the Employee and such subsidiary, and the
Company shall indemnify the Employee and save the Employee harmless from
and against all liability and damage the Employee may suffer as a
consequence of such subsidiary's failure to perform and carry out such
terms. Wherever reference is made to any benefit program of the Company,
such reference shall include, where appropriate, the corresponding benefit
program of such subsidiary if the Employee was a participant in such
benefit program on the date a Change in Control of the Company has
occurred.
8. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given under
this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be delivered by hand or
