         b. DEFAULT  BY PROVIDER

            1.  materially fails to perform the services within the time
                specified or any extension thereof, or

            2.  so fails to make progress as to materially endanger performance

            shall have corrected such failure(s) thirty (30) days after the
            receipt by the PROVIDER of such written notice; any failure which,
            in the exercise of due diligence, cannot be cured within such thirty

            the event of such termination, the PROVIDER will be compensated for
            all worked performed prior to such termination date.

         d. DEFAULT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES

            This contract may be terminated by the PROVIDER, for cause, upon the
            failure of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and
            Families to perform any material provision required of it by the
            contract (including providing office space, computer equipment and
            the co-operation of the DEPARTMENT's personnel) provided the
            PROVIDER shall give the Chief at least ninety (90) days prior
            written notice. Termination, at the option of the PROVIDER shall be
            effective ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice, unless the
            Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families shall have
            corrected such failure(s) thirty (30) days after the receipt by the
            Chief of such written notice; any failure which, in the exercise of
            due diligence, cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period
            shall not be deemed a default so long as the Rhode Island Department
            of Children, Youth and Families shall within such period commence
            and thereafter continue diligently to cure such failure.
            Notwithstanding the above, there shall not be a cure period for
            non-payment in accordance with the terms hereof, and the PROVIDER
            may terminate this Agreement at any time that the DEPARTMENT is more
            than fifteen (15) days delinquent with respect to such payment.

            obligations of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and
            Families, including the continuance of payments hereunder, are
            contingent upon the availability and continued appropriation of

            continued at an aggregate level sufficient to allow for the purchase

            Youth and Families shall notify the PROVIDER of such reduction of
            funds available and the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth
            and Families shall be entitled to reduce its commitment hereunder as
            it deems necessary, but shall be obligated for payments due to the
            PROVIDER up to the time of such notice. None of the provisions of
            this paragraph shall entitle the PROVIDER to compensation for
            anticipated profits for unperformed work.

                           DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY

DRUG USE AND ABUSE AT THE WORKPLACE OR WHILE ON DUTY ARE SUBJECTS OF IMMEDIATE
CONCERN IN OUR SOCIETY. THESE PROBLEMS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX AND ONES FOR WHICH
THERE ARE NOT EASY SOLUTIONS. FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, THE USES OF DRUGS MAY
IMPAIR THE WELL-BEING OF ALL EMPLOYEES, THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, AND RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. THEREFORE, IT IS THE POLICY OF THE STATE THAT THE UNLAWFUL
MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION, DISPENSATION, POSSESSION, OR USE OF A CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCE IS PROHIBITED IN THE WORKPLACE. ANY EMPLOYEE(S) VIOLATING THIS POLICY
WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION. AN EMPLOYEE MAY
ALSO BE DISCHARGED OR OTHERWISE DISCIPLINED FOR A CONVICTION INVOLVING ILLICIT
DRUG BEHAVIOR, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE EMPLOYEE'S CONDUCT WAS DETECTED WITHIN
EMPLOYMENT HOURS OR WHETHER HIS/HER ACTIONS WERE CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH HIS
OR HER EMPLOYMENT. THE SPECIFICS OF THIS POLICY ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1.       ANY UNAUTHORIZED EMPLOYEE WHO GIVES OR IN ANY WAY TRANSFERS A
         CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE TO ANOTHER PERSON OR SELLS OR MANUFACTURES A
         CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WHILE ON DUTY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE EMPLOYEE
         IS ON OR OFF THE PREMISES OF THE EMPLOYER WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE
         UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION.

2.       THE TERM "CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE" MEANS ANY DRUGS LISTED
         IN 21 USC, SECTION 812 AND OTHER FEDERAL REGULATIONS. GENERALLY, ALL
         ILLEGAL DRUGS AND SUBSTANCES ARE INCLUDED, SUCH AS MARIJUANA, HEROIN,
         MORPHINE, COCAINE, CODEINE OR OPIUM ADDITIVES, LSD, DMT, STP,
         AMPHETAMINES, METHAMPHETAMINES AND BARBITURATES.

3.       EACH EMPLOYEE IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO INFORM THE AGENCY WITHIN
         FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER HE/SHE IS CONVICTED FOR COALITION OF ANY FEDERAL OR
         STATE CRIMINAL DRUG STATUTE. A CONVICTION MEANS A FINDING OF GUILT
         (INCLUDING A PLEA OF NOLO CONTENDERE) OR THE IMPOSITIONS OF A SENTENCE
         BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT.

4.       THE EMPLOYER (THE HIRING AUTHORITY) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
         REPORTING CONVICTION(S) TO THE APPROPRIATE FEDERAL GRANTING SOURCE,
         WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE FROM THE EMPLOYEE OR
         OTHERWISE RECEIVES ACTUAL NOTICE OF SUCH CONVICTION(S). ALL
         CONVICTION(S) MUST BE REPORTED IN WRITING
<PAGE>

                                                                              23


         TO THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION (OPA) WITHIN THE SAME TIME
         FRAME.

5.       IF AN EMPLOYEE IS CONVICTED OF VIOLATING ANY CRIMINAL DRUG STATUTE
         WHILE ON DUTY, HE/SHE WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE UP TO AND INCLUDING
         TERMINATION. CONVICTION(S) WHILE OFF DUTY MAY RESULT IN DISCIPLINE OR
         DISCHARGE.

6.       THE STATE ENCOURAGES ANY EMPLOYEE WITH A DRUG ABUSE PROBLEM TO SEEK
         ASSISTANCE FROM THE RHODE ISLAND EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (RIEAP).
         YOUR DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL OFFICER HAS MORE INFORMATION ON RIEAP.

7.       THE LAW REQUIRES ALL EMPLOYEES TO ABIDE BY THIS POLICY.

                                                                       JUNE 1999
