                      CORRECTIONAL SERVICES CORPORATION
                              AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               MARCH 31, 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 March 31, 1999, and for the three months ended March
31, 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.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 of the separate companies for the period preceding the 
YSI merger were as follows (in thousands):

                                                      -------       -------

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.

                                       6

Merger costs consisted primarily of fees for investment bankers, attorneys, 
accountants, financial advisors and printing and other direct costs.  
Restructuring charges include severance, change in control payments made to 
certain former officers of YSI and costs associated with exiting certain 
operating and administrative activities.  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
                                                              -------
                                                              -------

Restructuring activities primarily relate to 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. 

In addition, in connection with the merger, the Company assumed $32,200,000 of 
7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures originally issued during the year ended 
June 30, 1996 by YSI.  Due to certain provisions in the indenture, the change of
control as a result of the merger enables the holder to demand immediate 
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 total debt to 
defer payment until March 31, 2000.  (See Liquidity and Capital Resources 
Section in Management Discussion and Analysis.)  A total of $1,700,000 
representing the balance will be repaid from working capital during the second 
quarter of 1999. 


NOTE 3 - DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT AND STARTUP COSTS

In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company elected to early adopt the AICPA's 
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), Accounting for Start-up Costs.  The 
accounting change requires 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 
first quarter of 1998 was retroactively restated to reflect the cumulative 
effect of change in accounting. In the first quarter ended March 31, 1998 
operating expenses were restated to reflect the reversal of $385,319 of 
amortization expense. In addition,   $910,982 of startup and development cost 
previously capitalized was expensed as incurred. 


NOTE 4 - 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.  The reduction in the effective tax rate for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 was a result of expensing certain merger costs that 
are non-deductible for tax purposes.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations

The Company is one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of juvenile 
rehabilitative services with 43 facilities and approximately 5,800 juveniles in 
its care. In addition, the Company is a leading developer and operator of adult 
correctional facilities operating 20 facilities representing 7,241 beds. On a 
combined basis, as of March 31, 1999, the Company provided services in 22 states
and Puerto Rico, representing approximately 13,000 beds including 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 government agency
contracts, 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 a 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 when 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 consists of rent and lease payments, utilities, 
insurance, depreciation and professional fees.

The Company also incurs start-up costs as it relates to the opening of new 
facilities.  Such costs are principally comprised of expenses associated with 
the recruitment, hiring and training of staff, travel of personnel and certain 
legal costs.   

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 facilities' operations.  This is due to the need to incur a 
significant portion of the facilities' 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 agency fees.


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 stock.  
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated 
to reflect the combination with YSI.
 
On March 26, 1999, the Company through its YSI subsidiary was re-awarded the 
contract to operate the 350 bed Charles H. Hickey Jr. School located in 
Baltimore, Maryland. 

On February 23, 1999, the Company announced that it had mutually agreed with the
Administration of Juvenile Institutions not to renew the contract for the 
120-bed Bayamon Detention Center in Bayamon, Puerto Rico effective May 1, 1999.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

Revenue increased by $16.7 million or 40% for the three months ended March 31, 
1999 to $58.9 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 $17.7 million generated from the opening of 12 juvenile and 
     5 adult facilities.

   - A net increase of $.8 million generated from per diem rate and occupancy 
     level increases in existing facilities.

   - A decrease of $1.8 million from the sale of the behavioral health business 
     and the discontinuance of the Timberline Academy and the College Station 
     programs.

Operating expenses increased $18.8 million or 55% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 to $53.1 million compared to the same period in 1998 due to the 
opening of the 17 new facilities mentioned above.

As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 88.8% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from 80.4% for the three months ended March 31, 
1998.  The increase was primarily due to the number of facilities that were in 
their early stages of operations. These facilities incurred operating expenses 
as a percentage of revenue which were greater than those experienced by the 
Company in 1998.

                                      10
<PAGE>

Startup costs were $729,542 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared 
to $327,349 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Startup costs for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 related to the startup of the following 
facilities:

   - South Fulton, Georgia facility
   - Crowley, Colorado (300 bed addition)

General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.7 million for the period 
ended March 31, 1999 from $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1998. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily 
attributable to the reduction of the administrative staff of the YSI subsidiary.

As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 
6.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 10.25% for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of revenue is a result of leveraging these costs over a larger 
revenue base. 

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $756,277 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1999 compared to interest expense, net of interest income of 
$584,522 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, a net increase in interest 
expense of $171,755.   This increase resulted from borrowings on the Company's 
credit facility to finance the growth of the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company recognized an income tax 
benefit of $2,976,331 representing an effective tax rate of 24%.  For the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 the Company recognized a provision for income taxes 
of $1,103,529 and an income tax benefit of $3,180,000 related to the cumulative 
effect of change in accounting principle representing an effective tax rate of 
39.5%.  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 three months ended March 31, 1999 
the Company had a net loss of ($9,425,051) or ($0.86).  For the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 the Company had net income of $1,916,618 and a net loss of 
($2,946,762) or $0.18 and ($0.45) per share before and after the cumulative 
effect of change in accounting principle, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1999 the Company had $6,727,000 of cash and working capital of 
$18,101,000.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,057,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to net cash used in operating 
activities of $94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The change was
attributed primarily to:

   - A decrease in net income due to the recognition of cash expenses related to
     the merger.
 
   - An increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and offset by an 
     increase in accounts payable related to the opening of new facilities. 

Net cash of $1,299,000 was used in investing activities during the three months 
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $396,000 being provided in the three months 
ended March 31, 1998.  In the 1999 period such cash was used principally for:

   - Capital expenditures related to the opening of new facilities.

   - The purchase of land and land improvements 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;

                                    11
<PAGE>

   - Offset by the receipt of $4,500,000 from the sale of the Behavioral Health 
     business owned by YSI.  

Net cash of $672,000 was used in financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to $464,000 used in financing activities for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998.  During the 1999 period the Company's primary
uses of funds were net repayments of $2,500,000 on the Company's revolving 
credit agreement offset by proceeds of $1,736,000 from the exercise of stock 
options and warrants.

In the comparable period for 1998 the primary uses of funds were net repayments 
of $1,029,000 on the Company's revolving credit agreement offset by proceeds of 
$564,000 received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. 

In August of 1998 the Company initiated an amendment to its current credit 
agreement with a syndicate of banks led by NationsBank N.A.  Under the 
amendment, which was finalized on October 16, 1998, the Company received an 
additional $17,500,000 temporary increase in its credit facility. 

On March 31, 1999 the Company finalized a second amendment to its credit 
agreement with a syndicate of banks led by Nationsbank N.A.  Under the 
amendment, the Company received, among other items, the consent to merge with 
YSI.  The banks also agreed to modify certain financial covenants to give effect
to the merger, the merger-related costs and the adoption of SOP 98-5 and waived 
any default arising from the merger.  In addition, the termination date of the 
$17.5 million temporary increase in the Company's credit facility was extended 
to June 15, 1999.  Upon receipt of junior capital the increase in the credit 
facility will become permanent.  If the Company is unable to:

   - extend the temporary increase;

   - amend the credit facility to provide an increased borrowing base; or

   - obtain alternative financing;
    
then it may have to curtail its growth relating to the construction and 
operation of potential new facilities.  As of March 31, 1999 the total amount
outstanding on the revolver was $9,000,000 and the total amount outstanding on 
the operating lease facility was $16,922,000.

In addition, the Company would be required to repay any balance outstanding at 
the time of termination of the increased credit facility. Failure to do so would
enable NationsBank to exercise their rights and remedies under the loan 
agreement. Any such action could have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company. There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to issue the necessary junior capital and receive 
the subsequent increase in its credit facility.

As part of its long term capital plan, the Company will need to obtain 
additional debt or equity financing to fund the redemption of up to $32.2 
million of YSI's 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2006 within one year
after the merger. The holders of approximately $1.7 million of the debentures 
are entitled to redemption of their debentures within 90 days after the merger 
and the holders of the debentures representing approximately $30.5 million 
balance have agreed to extend the redemption date for their redemption's until 
one year after the merger. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain 
financing to fund the redemption obligations or, if able, that we will do so on 
favorable terms. If we cannot fund this redemption obligation through new 
financing, our financial viability may be impaired.

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 is the use of 
embedded chips 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 Corporate-level Year 2000 Program Management Plan 
(PMP), chartered to assure that all of its strategic business units are Year 
2000 compliant by the target date of the third quarter 1999.  The Company's 
corporate MIS department has conducted an in-depth assessment of its Year 2000 
health. The assessment process has been completed and has resulted in an 
inventory of business critical software, hardware, and network elements that may
be affected by the Year 2000 problem. 

Analysis of the assessment findings revealed that the Company is positioned to 
deal with these Year 2000 issues.   Approximately 90% of all computer systems 
and software will be in compliance without modification. The Company's Corporate
MIS staff is currently in the process of modifying or replacing the remaining 
10% of its computer systems and software. The corporate accounting system has 
been tested and upgraded to be compliant.  The Company has undertaken a program 
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 will be drawing upon the expertise,
both internally and externally, of technical experts who specialize in Year 2000
issues. The Company is relying on information that is being provided by vendors 
and manufacturers regarding the Y2K compliance status of their products. There 
can be no assurances that in all instances accurate information is being 
provided and the Company cannot guarantee that the repair, replacement or 
upgrade of all items of equipment on a timely basis. Contingency planning will 
be established and implemented in an effort to minimize any impact from Y2K 
related failures of such equipment.  Because some of the Company's physical 
sites are connected to other entities whose Y2K readiness efforts it does not 
control, there will be issues that arise which are dependent on these entities' 
efforts. By vigorously pursuing vendor certifications and warranties, and 
through comprehensive testing, the Company will ensure that its network, systems
and services continue to be reliable through the millennium date change and 
beyond. 

The Company estimates to invest approximately $150,000 in connection with it's 
PMP and expects to fund such expenses through cash flows from operations.  
However there can be no assurances that these estimated will be achieved and 
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

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).

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 represents 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.

Delaware corporation ("CSC") and Ira M. Cotler (thereinafter the

        (d) If the payments provided under Subsections (b) and/or (c)

defined below) will be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code

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 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 as 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.

        (e) The payments provided for in Subsections (b), (c), and 
(d) 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 as soon as the amount thereof 
can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the 
Date of Termination.

        (f) Any options held by the Employee to purchase any 
securities of the Company which are not exercisable as of the Date of 
Termination, shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the Date of 
Termination.  All other terms of the options shall remain in full force
and effect.

        (g) The Company shall arrange to provide and pay the Employee 
with life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits 
substantially similar to those that the Employee was receiving 
immediately prior to the Notice of Termination, for the period beginning 
on the Date of Termination and ending on the earlier of (A) the end of 
the 36th month after the Date of Termination  or (B) the date the 
Employee becomes eligible for such benefits under any plan offered by an 
employer with which Employee is employed on a full-time basis.  

        (h) 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.

     2. 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 7 of this Agreement.

     3. 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 l(h).

     4. Termination in Contemplation of Change in Control.  In 
connection  with a termination of Employee's employment by the Company in 
contemplation of, upon the occurrence of or after  a Change in Control, 
any reference in this Agreement with regard to any measurement date or 
time that references the time or date of the Change in Control or the 
Date of Termination shall be deemed to mean either (a) the date or time 
of the occurrence constituting the Date of Termination by the Company, as 
the case may be, 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 to provide Employee with the payments and benefits hereunder.  

     5. 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.

     6. 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.

or by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested,

waived or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by, subject to 
Article VIII of the Trust Agreement regarding termination of the Trust 
Agreement, the Majority Secured Parties and each Credit Party (to the extent 
such Credit Party is a party to such Operative Agreement); provided, to the 
extent no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 
the Majority Secured Parties shall not amend, supplement, waive or modify any 
provision of any Operative Agreement in such a manner as to adversely affect 
the rights of a Credit Party without the prior written consent (not to be 
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of such Credit Party; provided, further, so 
long as Summit Bank and NationsBank, N.A. are the only Lenders and/or Holders, 
no Operative Agreement nor any of the terms thereof may be terminated, 
amended, supplemented, waived or modified unless such termination, amendment, 
supplement, waiver or modification is in writing entered into by, or approved 
in writing by, both Summit Bank and NationsBank, N.A.  In addition, (a) the 
Unanimous Vote Matters shall require the consent of each Lender and each 
Holder affected by such matter and (b) any provision of any Operative 
Agreement incorporated by reference or otherwise referenced in a second 
Operative Agreement shall remain, respecting such second Operative Agreement, 
in its original form without regard to any such termination, amendment, 
supplement, waiver or modification in the first Operative Agreement except if 
such has been agreed to by an instrument in writing signed by, subject to 
Article VIII of the Trust Agreement regarding termination of the Trust 
Agreement, the Majority Secured Parties and the Lessee and/or the Construction 
Agent (to the extent such Credit Party is a party to such Operative 
Agreement).

       	Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination, amendment, 
supplement, waiver or modification shall, without the consent of the Agent 
and, to the extent affected thereby, each Lender and each Holder 
(collectively, the "Unanimous Vote Matters") (i) reduce the amount of any 
Note or any Certificate, extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Note, 
extend the scheduled Expiration Date, extend any payment date of any Note or 
Certificate, reduce the stated rate of interest payable on any Note, reduce 
the stated Holder Yield payable on any Certificate (other than as a result of 
waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or 
Holder Yields), modify the priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent under 
any Security Document, subordinate any obligation owed to any Lender or 
Holder, reduce any Lender Unused Fees or any Holder Unused Fees payable under 
this Participation Agreement, extend the scheduled date of payment of any 
Lender Unused Fees or any Holder Unused Fees or increase the amount or extend 
the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment or the Holder Commitment of any 
Holder, or (ii) terminate, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of 
this Section 12.4 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of 
Majority Lenders, Majority Holders or Majority Secured Parties, or consent to 
the assignment or transfer by the Owner Trustee of any of its rights and 
obligations under any Credit Document or release a material portion of the 
Collateral (except in accordance with Section 8.8) or release any Credit Party 
from its obligations under any Operative Agreement or otherwise alter any 
payment obligations of any Credit Party to the Lessor or any Financing Party 
under the Operative Agreements, or (iii) terminate, amend, supplement, waive 
or modify any provision of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement (which shall also 
require the consent of the Agent), or (iv) permit Advances for Work in excess 
of the Construction Budget if, as a result of such Advances, the sum of all 
Advances made or to be made under the Construction Budgets with respect to all 
of the Properties will exceed the sum of the Holder Commitments and the Lender 
Commitments; provided, however, that the Majority Secured Parties may permit 
Advances for Work in excess of a particular Construction Budget so long as the 
sum of all Advances made or to be made under the aggregate of the Construction 
Budgets for all of the Properties (including the amount by which an Advance 
with respect to any Property will exceed the Construction Budget for such 
Property) does not exceed the sum of the Holder Commitments and the Lender 
Commitments, or (v) eliminate the automatic option under Section 5.3(b) of the 
Agency Agreement requiring that the Construction Agent pay certain liquidated 
damages in exchange for the conveyance of a Property to the Construction 
Agent.  Any such termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification 
shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and the Holders and shall be 
binding upon all the parties to this Agreement.  In the case of any waiver, 
each party to this Agreement shall be restored to its former position and 
rights under the Operative Agreements existing prior to the event or condition 
waived, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured 
and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other 
Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

    	If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative 
Agreements to any Loan are, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders, satisfied, 
any Lender shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan (any such 
Lender, a "Defaulting Lender") then, for so long as such failure shall 
continue, the Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Lessee and the Majority 
Lenders, determined as if the Defaulting Lender were not a "Lender", shall 
otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to 
terminations, amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications under the 
Operative Agreements to have no Loans, shall not be treated as a "Lender" 
when performing the computation of Majority Lenders or Majority Secured 
Parties, and shall have no rights under this Section 12.4; provided that any 
action taken pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 12.4 shall not 
be effective as against the Defaulting Lender unless it otherwise consents.

    	If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative 
Agreements to any Holder Advance are, in the opinion of the Majority Holders, 
satisfied, any Holder shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such 
Holder Advance (any such Holder, a "Defaulting Holder") then, for so long as 
such failure shall continue, the Defaulting Holder shall (unless the Lessee 
and the Majority Holders, determined as if the Defaulting Holder were not a 
"Holder", shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes 
relating to terminations, amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications 
under the Operative Agreements to have no Holder Advances, shall not be 
treated as a "Holder" when performing the computation of Majority Holders or 
Majority Secured Parties, and shall have no rights under this Section 12.4; 
provided that any action taken pursuant to the second paragraph of this 
Section 12.4 shall not be effective as against the Defaulting Holder unless it 
otherwise consents."

    	3.	If the Lessee receives at least $20,000,000 in proceeds from new 
Subordinated Debt during the Interim Period, Schedule 1.1 of the Credit 
Agreement shall be deemed amended and restated in its entirety on the Business 
Day following confirmation by the Agent that such proceeds have been received 
to read as Schedule 1.1 attached hereto and Schedule I of the Trust Agreement 
shall be deemed amended and restated in its entirety on the Business Day 
following confirmation by the Agent that such proceeds have been received to 
read as Schedule I attached hereto. 

    	4.	Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders hereby waives any 
Default or Event of Default arising solely from a breach of any of the 
covenants of the Lessee set forth in Section 8.3 of the Participation 
Agreement or any of the Incorporated Covenants as a result of the consummation 
of the contemplated merger transaction between the Borrower and Youth Services 
International, Inc.

    	5.	This Amendment shall be effective upon the execution of this 
Amendment by the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Holders.

    	6.	Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the 
Operative Agreements (including without limitation the First Amendment and all 
Schedules and Exhibits) shall remain in full force and effect.

    	7.	The Lessee agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the 
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this 
Amendment, including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of 
Moore & Van Allen, PLLC.

    	8.	This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each 
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and it 
shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account 
for more than one such counterpart.

    	9.	This Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and 
for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State 
of Florida.
