of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of
public companies in the current environment; and

         WHEREAS, the Indemnitee currently is serving as a director or officer
of the Company, the Company desires that the Indemnitee continue to serve in
such capacity, and the Indemnitee is willing to continue to serve in such
capacity if the Indemnitee is adequately protected against the risks associated
with such service; and

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Indemnitee have concluded that the

Company; and

         WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for additional protection
against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee's continued service to
the Company in an effective manner, and in order to induce Indemnitee to
continue to provide services to the Company as a director or officer thereof,
the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of
Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement.

              2.1.1. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the
Company hereby indemnifies and holds Indemnitee harmless for any Losses or
Expenses arising from any Claims relating to (or arising in whole or in part out
of) any Covered Event, including without limitation, any Claim the basis of
which is any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
misleading statement, omission or other act done or attempted by Indemnitee in
the capacity as a Company Agent, whether or not Indemnitee is acting or serving
in such capacity at the date of this Agreement, at the time liability is
incurred or at the time the Claim is initiated.

              2.1.2. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall
apply to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of
applicable law, as presently in effect or as changed after the date of this
Agreement, whether by statute or judicial decision (but, in the case of any
subsequent change, only to the extent that such

<PAGE>   5

change permits the Company to provide broader indemnification than permitted
prior to giving effect thereto).

              2.1.3. Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee
against the Company or any director or officer of the Company, unless the
Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Claim; provided,
the provisions of this Section 2.1.3 shall not apply (i) following a Change in
Control to Claims seeking enforcement of this Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws
of the Company or any other agreement now or hereafter in effect relating to
indemnification for Covered Events or (ii) absent a Change in Control, to Claims
seeking enforcement of this Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or
any other agreement now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for
Covered Events, but only if the Indemnitee is ultimately determined to be
entitled to indemnification.

              2.1.4. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Losses
or Expenses paid with respect to a Claim but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless
against the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

              2.1.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to
the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any or all Claims relating to (or arising in whole or in part out of)
a Covered Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including
dismissal without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee
harmless against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

         2.2. Indemnification for Serving as Witness and Certain Other Claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby
indemnifies and holds Indemnitee harmless for all Expenses in connection with
(a) the preparation to serve or service as a witness in any Claim in which
Indemnitee is not a party, if such actual or proposed service as a witness arose
by reason of Indemnitee having served as a Company Agent on or after the date of
this Agreement and (b) any Claim initiated by Indemnitee on or after the date of
this Agreement (i) for recovery under any directors' and officers' liability
insurance maintained by the Company; (ii) following a Change in Control, for
enforcement of the indemnification obligations of the Company under this
Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or any other agreement now or
hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Covered Events, regardless
of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such insurance
recovery or indemnification, as the case may be; or (iii) absent a Change in
Control, for enforcement of this Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company
or any other agreement now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification
for Covered Events, but only if the Indemnitee is ultimately determined to be
entitled to indemnification.

         Section 3. Limitation on Indemnification.

         3.1. Coverage Limitations. No indemnification is available pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement:

              3.1.1. If such indemnification is not lawful;

              3.1.2. If Indemnitee's conduct giving rise to the Claim with
respect to which indemnification is requested was knowingly fraudulent, a
knowing violation of law, deliberately dishonest or in bad faith or constituted
willful misconduct;

              3.1.3. In respect of any Claim based upon or attributable to
Indemnitee gaining in fact any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee
was not legally entitled;

              3.1.4. In respect of any Claim based upon or in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which Indemnitee was adjudged
liable to the Company; or

              3.1.5. In respect of any Claim for an accounting of profits made
from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         3.2. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment otherwise due and payable to the extent
Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (whether under the Charter or
the Bylaws of the Company, the D&O Insurance or otherwise) of any amounts
otherwise due and payable under this Agreement.

         Section 4. Payments and Determinations.

         4.1. Advancement and Reimbursement of Expenses. If requested by
Indemnitee, the Company shall advance to Indemnitee, no later than two business
days following any such request, any and all Expenses for which indemnification
is available under Section 2. In order to obtain such advancement or
reimbursement, the Indemnitee must also furnish to the Company a written
affirmation of his good faith belief that he has conducted himself in good faith
and that he reasonably believed that: (1) in the case of conduct in his official
capacity with the Company, that his conduct was in its best interest; and (2) in
all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best
interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, Indemnitee must furnish
to the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to
repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification. Upon any Determination that Indemnitee is not permitted to be
indemnified for any Expenses so advanced, Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse
the Company (or, as appropriate, any Trust

<PAGE>   7

established pursuant to Section 9.2) for all such amounts previously paid. Such
obligation of reimbursement shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged
thereon.

         4.2. Payment and Determination Procedures.

              4.2.1. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall submit to the Company a written request, together with such documentation
and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably
necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of
such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing
that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

              4.2.2. Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification
pursuant to Section 4.2.1, a Determination with respect to Indemnitee's
entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case (a) if a Change in
Control shall have occurred, as provided in Section 9.1; and (b) if a Change in
Control shall not have occurred, by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of Disinterested Directors, (ii) Independent Legal Counsel, if either (A)
there are no Disinterested Directors or (B) a majority vote of Disinterested
Directors otherwise so directs, or (iii) the shareholders of the Company (if
submitted by the Board of Directors) but shares of stock owned by or voted under
the control of any Indemnitee who is at the time party to the proceeding may not
be voted. If a Determination is made that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such
Determination.

              4.2.3. If no Determination is made within 60 days after receipt by
the Company of a request for indemnification by Indemnitee pursuant to Section
4.2.1, a Determination shall be deemed to have been made that Indemnitee is
entitled to the requested indemnification (and the Company shall pay the related
Losses and Expenses no later than ten days after the expiration of such 60-day
period), except where such indemnification is not lawful; provided, however,
that (a) such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed
an additional 30 days, if the Person or Persons making the Determination in good
faith require such additional time for obtaining or evaluating the documentation
and information relating thereto; and (b) the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.2.3 shall not apply (i) if the Determination is to be made by the
shareholders of the Company and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the
Company of the request by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4.2.1 the Board of
Directors has resolved to submit such Determination to the shareholders at an
annual meeting of the shareholders to be held within 75 days after such receipt,
and such Determination is made at such annual meeting, or (B) a special meeting
of shareholders is called within 15 days after such receipt for the purpose of
making such Determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days
after having been so called and such Determination is made at such special
meeting, or (ii) if the Determination is to be made by Independent Legal
Counsel.

         Section 5. D & O Insurance.

         5.1. Current Policies. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
Indemnitee that Exhibit 1 contains a complete and accurate description of the
D&O Insurance and that such insurance is in full force and effect.

         5.2. Continued Coverage. The Company shall maintain, to the extent
practicable, the D&O Insurance for so long as this Agreement remains in effect.
The Company shall cause the D&O Insurance to cover Indemnitee, in accordance
with its terms and at all times such insurance is in effect, to the maximum
extent of the coverage provided thereby for any director or officer of the
Company.

         5.3. Indemnification. In the event of any reduction in, or cancellation
of, the D&O Insurance (whether voluntary or involuntary on behalf of the
Company), the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold Indemnitee
harmless against any Losses or Expenses that Indemnitee is or becomes obligated
to pay as a result of the Company's failure to maintain the D&O Insurance in
effect in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any provision of the Charter or the
Bylaws of the Company, or any other agreement now or hereafter in effect
relating to indemnification for Covered Events. The indemnification available
under this Section 5.3 is in addition to all other obligations of
indemnification of the Company under this Agreement and shall be the only remedy
of Indemnitee for a breach by the Company of its obligations set forth in
Section 5.2.

         Section 6. Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this
Agreement to or on behalf of Indemnitee, the Company shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against
any Person other than the Company or Indemnitee in respect of the Claim giving
rise to such payment. Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required
and shall do everything reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including
the execution of such documents reasonably necessary to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

         Section 7. Notification and Defense of Claims.

         7.1. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall give notice in writing to
the Company as soon as practicable after Indemnitee becomes aware of any Claim
with respect to which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement; provided the failure of Indemnitee to give such notice, or any delay
in giving such notice, shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under
this Agreement except to the extent the Company is actually prejudiced to any
such failure or delay.

         7.2. Insurance. The Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of any Claim relating to Covered Events to the insurers on the D&O
Insurance, if any, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies in favor of Indemnitee. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary
action to cause such insurers to pay, on

<PAGE>   9

behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claims in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

         7.3. Defense.

              7.3.1. In the event any Claim relating to Covered Events is by or
in the right of the Company, Indemnitee may, at the option of Indemnitee, either
control the defense thereof or accept the defense provided under the D&O
Insurance; provided, however, that Indemnitee may not control the defense if
such decision would jeopardize the coverage provided by the D&O Insurance, if
any, to the Company or the other directors and officers covered thereby, and
also provided that the amounts expended by the Company shall be reimbursed to
the Company by the Indemnitee if the standards and requirements of Section
48-18-504 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act so require.

              7.3.2. In the event any Claim relating to Covered Events is other
than by or in the right of the Company, Indemnitee may, at the option of
Indemnitee, either control the defense thereof, require the Company to defend or
accept the defense provided under the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that
Indemnitee may not control the defense or require the Company to defend if such
decision would jeopardize the coverage provided by the D&O Insurance to the
Company or the other directors and officers covered thereby. In the event that
Indemnitee requires the Company to so defend, or in the event that Indemnitee
proceeds under the D&O Insurance but Indemnitee determines that such insurers
under the D&O Insurance are unable or unwilling to adequately defend Indemnitee
against any such Claim, the Company shall promptly undertake to defend any such
Claim, at the Company's sole cost and expense, utilizing counsel of Indemnitee's
choice who has been approved by the Company. If appropriate, the Company shall
have the right to participate in the defense of any such Claim.

              7.3.3. In the event the Company shall fail, as required by any
election by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.3.2, timely to defend Indemnitee
against any such Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to do so, including
without limitation, the right (notwithstanding Section 7.3.4) to make any
settlement thereof, and to recover from the Company, to the extent otherwise
permitted by this Agreement, all Expenses and Losses paid as a result thereof.

              7.3.4. The Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement
with respect to any amounts paid or to be paid in settlement of any Claim
without the express prior written consent of the Company to any related
settlement. In no event shall the Company authorize any settlement imposing any
liability or other obligations on Indemnitee without the express prior written
consent of Indemnitee. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably
withhold consent to any proposed settlement.

         Section 8. Determinations and Related Matters.

         8.1. Presumptions.

              8.1.1. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to a rebuttable presumption that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of
proof in rebutting such presumption.

              8.1.2. The termination of any claim by judgment, order, settlement
(whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not adversely affect either the right of
Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement or the presumptions to which
Indemnitee is otherwise entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
nor create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of
conduct or have a particular belief or that a court has determined that
indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

         8.2. Appeals; Enforcement.

              8.2.1. In the event that (a) a Determination is made that
Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (b)
any Determination to be made by Independent Legal Counsel is not made within 90
days of receipt by the Company of a request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 4.2.1 or (c) the Company fails to otherwise perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation
to make payments to Indemnitee following any Determination made or deemed to
have been made that such payments are appropriate), Indemnitee shall have the
right to commence a Claim in any court of competent jurisdiction, as
appropriate, to seek a Determination by the court, to challenge or appeal any
Determination that has been made, or to otherwise enforce this Agreement. If a
Change of Control shall have occurred, Indemnitee shall have the option to have
any such Claim conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association. Any such judicial proceeding challenging or
appealing any Determination shall be deemed to be conducted de novo and without
prejudice by reason of any prior Determination to the effect that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Any such Claim shall be at
the sole expense of Indemnitee except as provided in Section 9.3.

              8.2.2. If a Determination shall have been made or deemed to have
been made pursuant to this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such Determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 8.2,
except if such indemnification is unlawful.

              8.2.3. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 8.2 that
the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator
that the Company is bound by all the

<PAGE>   11

provisions of this Agreement. The Company hereby consents to service of process
and to appear in any judicial or arbitration proceedings and shall not oppose
Indemnitee's right to commence any such proceedings.

         8.3. Procedures. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Company and with
any Person making any Determination with respect to any Claim for which a claim
for indemnification under this Agreement has been made, as the Company may
reasonably require. Indemnitee shall provide to the Company or the Person making
any Determination, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or
information reasonably available to Indemnitee and necessary to (a) the Company
with respect to any such Claim or (b) the Person making any Determination with
respect thereto.

         Section 9. Change in Control Procedures.

         9.1. Determinations. If there is a Change in Control, any Determination
to be made under Section 4 shall be made by Independent Legal Counsel selected
by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Company shall pay the reasonable fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify fully such Independent Legal Counsel
against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of
Independent Legal Counsel pursuant hereto.

         9.2. Establishment of Trust. Following the occurrence of any Potential
Change in Control, the Company, upon receipt of a written request from
Indemnitee, shall create a Trust (the "Trust") for the benefit of Indemnitee,
the trustee of which shall be a bank or similar financial institution with trust
powers chosen by Indemnitee. From time to time, upon the written request of
Indemnitee, the Company shall fund the Trust in amounts sufficient to satisfy
any and all Losses and Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such
request to be incurred by Indemnitee for which indemnification may be available
under this Agreement. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust
pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by mutual
agreement of Indemnitee and the Company or, if the Company and Indemnitee are
unable to reach such an agreement, or, in any event, a Change in Control has
occurred by Independent Legal Counsel (selected pursuant to Section 9.1). The
terms of the Trust shall provide that, except upon the prior written consent of
Indemnitee and the Company, (a) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal
thereof invaded, other than to make payments to unsatisfied judgment creditors
of the Company, (b) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in
accordance with the funding obligations set forth in this Section, (c) the
Trustee shall promptly pay or advance to Indemnitee any amounts to which
Indemnitee shall be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and (d) all unexpended
funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a Determination by
Independent Legal Counsel (selected pursuant to Section 9.1) or a court of
competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the
terms of this Agreement. All income earned on the assets held in the trust shall
be reported as income by the Company for federal, state, local and foreign tax
purposes.

         9.3. Expenses. Following any Change in Control, the Company shall be
liable for, and shall pay the Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the making of any Determination (irrespective of the
determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) or the
prosecution of any Claim pursuant to Section 8.2, and the Company hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. If requested by counsel for
Indemnitee, the Company shall promptly give such counsel an appropriate written
agreement with respect to the payment of its fees and expenses and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel.

         Section 10. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and
no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company, any
Subsidiary, any Other Enterprise or any Affiliate of the Company against
Indemnitee or Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors, administrators or personal
or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of
accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the
Company, any Subsidiary, any Other Enterprise or any Affiliate of the Company
shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing
of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any
shorter period of limitations, whether established by statute or judicial
decision, is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter
period shall govern.

         Section 11. Contribution. If the indemnification provisions of this
Agreement should be unenforceable under applicable law in whole or in part or
insufficient to hold Indemnitee harmless in respect of any Losses and Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee, then for purposes of this Section 11, the Company shall
be treated as if it were, or was threatened to be made, a party defendant to the
subject Claim and the Company shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by
Indemnitee as a result of such Losses and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits accruing to
the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other and the relative fault
of the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other in connection with
such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. For purposes
of this Section 11, the relative benefit to the Company shall be deemed to be
the benefits accruing to it and to all of its directors, officers, employees and
agents (other than Indemnitee) on the one hand, as a group and treated as one
entity, and the relative benefit to Indemnitee shall be deemed to be an amount
not greater than the Indemnitee's yearly base salary or Indemnitee's
compensation from the Company during the first year in which the Covered Event
forming the basis for the subject Claim was alleged to have occurred. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the
fault of the Company and all of its directors, officers, employees and agents
(other than Indemnitee) on the one hand, as a group and treated as one entity,
and Indemnitee's and such group's relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to have altered or prevented the Covered Event
forming the basis for the subject Claim.

         Section 12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

         12.1. Successors and Assigns, Etc.

               12.1.1. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of (a) the Company, its successors and assigns (including any direct or
indirect successor by merger, consolidation or operation of law or by transfer
of all or substantially all of its assets) and (b) Indemnitee and the heirs,
personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators or assigns of
Indemnitee.

               12.1.2. The Company shall not consummate any consolidation,
merger or other business combination, nor will it transfer 50% or more of its
assets (in one or a series of related transactions), unless the ultimate Parent
of the successor to the business or assets of the Company shall have first
executed an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, to
expressly assume all obligations of the Company under this Agreement and agree
to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms, in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform this Agreement
if no such transaction had taken place; provided that, if the Parent is not the
Company, the legality of payment of indemnity by the Parent shall be determined
by reference to the fact that such indemnity is to be paid by the Parent rather
than the Company.

         12.2. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be
deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation of
law and, as so modified, such provision and the remaining provisions shall
remain valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

         12.3. Rights Not Exclusive; Continuation of Right of Indemnification.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict
Indemnitee's right to indemnification pursuant to any provision of the Charter
or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement, vote of shareholders or Disinterested
Directors, applicable law or otherwise. This Agreement shall be effective as of
the date first above written and continue in effect until no Claims relating to
any Covered Event may be asserted against Indemnitee and until any Claims
commenced prior thereto are finally terminated and resolved, regardless of
whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director of the Company, any
Subsidiary or any Other Enterprise.

         12.4. No Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained in the employ
of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Other Enterprise.

         12.5. Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of any
provision of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, or any respective successors
thereto, or of any relevant provision of any applicable law, shall affect or
diminish in any way the

<PAGE>   14

rights of Indemnitee to indemnification, or the obligations of the Company,
arising under this Agreement, whether the alleged actions or conduct of
Indemnitee giving rise to the necessity of such indemnification arose before or
after any such amendment, termination or repeal.

         12.6. Notices. Notices required under this Agreement shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person or sent by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices shall be
directed to the Company at Children's Comprehensive Services, Inc., 3401 West
End Avenue, Suite 400, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, and to Indemnitee at
______________________________ (or such other address as either party may
designate in writing to the other).

         12.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee applicable to
contracts made and performed in such state without giving effect to the
principles of conflict of laws.

         12.8. Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to discriminate part of
this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

         12.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

         12.10. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or
amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both
of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver of any other provisions
hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall any such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

         The parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of
the day and year first above written.

                          SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT

         SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT, effective as of October 7, 2000, between
CHILDREN'S COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, INC., a Tennessee corporation (hereinafter
the "Company"), and ______________________ (hereinafter "Employee").

                                 R E C I T A L S

         WHEREAS, the Company believes it is in the best interests of the
Company and the Company's shareholders to encourage its key employees to remain
employed with the Company and to devote their full time and attention to their
duties to the Company in the event of a potential or threatened change of
control of the Company through a tender offer or otherwise;

         WHEREAS, the Company believes that key employees may be distracted from
the performance of their duties by a potential or threatened change of control
of the Company;

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that key
employees of the Company should be encouraged to continue to devote their full
time and attention to their duties to the Company in the event of a potential or
threatened change of control of the Company;

         WHEREAS, Employee is a key employee of the Company;

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes that its ability and the
ability of the Company to rely on Employee to continue his duties to the Company
without distraction in the event of a potential or threatened change of control
is in the best interests of the Company and the Company's shareholders;

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors may call upon Employee for advice or
assistance in connection with its assessment of proposals involving a change in
control of the Company;

         WHEREAS, to assure that the Company will have Employee's continued
undivided attention and services and the availability of his advice and counsel
notwithstanding a potential or threatened change of control, and to induce
Employee to remain in the employ of the Company, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

         1. CONTINUED SERVICES. In the event of a third party tender or exchange
offer, proxy solicitation or other threatened Change in Control (as defined
herein), Employee agrees that he will not voluntarily terminate his employment
with the Company, and will continue to render his services to the Company
(including reviewing or providing advice to the Company or the Board of
Directors with respect to such potential Change in Control) until the third
party has abandoned or terminated its efforts to effect a Change in Control or
until such Change in Control has been effected. In the event that Employee
voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or fails to render his
services to the Company, he shall cease to be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement, and the Company's sole remedy against Employee shall be its denial of
the benefits set forth in this

<PAGE>   2

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees that this Agreement is
not an employment agreement with the Company and Employee has no claim to
continued employment by the Company by virtue of this Agreement.

         2. NOTICE OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company shall notify Employee
promptly if and when it becomes aware of a potential or threatened Change in
Control.

         3. SEVERANCE PAYMENT. Upon termination without Cause (as hereinafter
defined) by the Company of Employee's employment with the Company or termination
by Employee of Employee's employment following a Constructive Termination (as
hereinafter defined), in either case within two (2) years of the effective date
of a Change in Control of the Company, Employee shall be entitled to a severance
payment ("Severance") equal to (i) his then current annual salary plus (ii) the
sum of his cash bonus received for each of the prior three (3) years divided by
three (3) (which calculation shall include zero (0) for any such year in which
he did not receive a bonus). Any Severance payable to Employee pursuant to this
Section 3 shall be paid as follows: (i) one-half of the Severance shall be paid
within fifteen (15) days of the effective date of termination of Employee's
employment and (ii) one-half of the Severance (the "Remaining Severance") shall
be paid in six equal monthly payments beginning on the first day of the sixth
month immediately following termination of Employee's employment. The six month
period during which such Severance shall be paid is herein referred to as the
"Remaining Severance Payment Period." Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Remaining Severance shall be subject to offset as follows: (i) in the event that
Employee is employed during any part of the Remaining Severance Payment Period,
all gross compensation (which compensation shall include salary and any
pro-rated bonus or commissions) earned by Employee with respect to the Remaining
Severance Payment Period and reported on such Employee's Form W-2 shall be
offset against the Remaining Severance, and (ii) in the event that Employee
becomes self-employed during the Remaining Severance Payment Period, all
self-employment taxable income of Employee reported on Schedule ES to Form 1040
with respect to the Remaining Severance Payment Period shall be offset against
the Remaining Severance. Any offset against the Remaining Severance shall be
calculated on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

         In no event shall any income or gains earned or received by Employee
from passive investments, including dividends, interest and capital gains, or
gains resulting from the exercise of any stock options held by Employee, be
offset against the Remaining Severance. In no event shall the Company be liable
to Employee for fringe benefits or amounts other than (i) Severance, and (ii)
accrued but unpaid salary and bonus, if any, upon Employee's termination of
employment.

         Employee hereby agrees to notify the Company of any employment
(including self-employment) of Employee for a period of one year following
termination of Employee's employment with the Company, including the terms
thereof.

         For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" means the
happening of any of the following:

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                  (i) any person or entity, including a "group" as defined in
         Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company or a
         wholly-owned subsidiary thereof or any employee benefit plan of the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner of the
         Company's securities having 35% or more of the combined voting power of
         the then outstanding securities of the Company that may be cast for the
         election of directors of the Company (other than as a result of an
         issuance of securities initiated by the Company in the ordinary course
         of business); or

                  (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender
         or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sales of
         assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing
         transactions (a "Transaction"), less than a majority of the combined
         voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company or any
         successor Company or entity entitled to vote generally in the election
         of the directors of the Company or such other company or entity after
         such Transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of the
         Company's securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
         directors of the Company immediately prior to such Transaction; or

                  (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, as a result
         of one or more elections of directors which elections were contested by
         one or more shareholders, individuals who at the beginning of any such
         period constitute the Board of Directors cease for any reason to
         constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the
         nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each director
         of the Company first elected during such period was approved by a vote
         of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Company then still in
         office who were directors of the Company at the beginning of any such
         period.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of "Change of Control," a
Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the
Company's issuance of securities to an underwriting syndicate in a public
offering approved by the Board of Directors.

         For purposes of this Agreement, a "Constructive Termination" will be
deemed to have occurred if Employee's duties have been significantly altered
such that he is no longer entitled to perform the duties reasonably incident to
the office of ___________________ or, if the Company requires Employee to move
his principal place of employment more than thirty-five (35) miles away from the
Company's current offices, provided, however, that if the Company is involved in
a Transaction in which it becomes a subsidiary or division of the acquiring
company, a Constructive Termination shall not be deemed to have occurred if
Employee, following such Transaction, holds a similar position with or performs
comparable duties at a comparable salary for the acquiring company.

         For purposes of this Agreement, termination for "Cause" shall be deemed
to have occurred if, during the term of this Agreement, Employee breaches or
fails to perform a material provision of this Agreement (including his duties
hereunder), engages in conduct harmful to the Company, or willfully disregards
the lawful instructions of his superiors (which breach, failure to perform,

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

harmful conduct or willful disregard of lawful instructions is not cured by
Employee within 30 days following written notice thereof by the Company to
Employee), engages in fraudulent conduct, or is convicted of a crime or
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or dishonesty, and this Agreement shall at
the election of the Company, terminate (i) immediately upon conviction, or (ii)
upon a reasonable determination by the Board of Directors that Employee has
failed to cure such breach, failure to perform a material provision of this
Agreement, conduct harmful to the Company or willful disregard of lawful
instructions, or has engaged in fraudulent conduct, and the Company shall have
no further obligations hereunder.

         4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION. In the event Employee voluntarily terminates
his employment with the Company, Employee hereby agrees to provide notice
thereof to the Company as provided in Section 7 below. In the event of any
termination by the Company of Employee's employment, the Company hereby agrees
to provide notice thereof to Employee in accordance with Section 7 below.

         5. NONASSIGNMENT. Neither party hereto may assign any rights or
obligations hereunder, except that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of both Employee and the
Company's successors and assigns, or the acquiring or surviving corporation, as
the case may be. In the event that the Company's successors and assigns or the
acquiring or surviving corporation fail to assume this Agreement, Employee shall
be entitled to immediately receive the benefits described in Section 3 as if
Employee had been terminated without Cause on the date of the Change in Control.

         6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. In order to induce the Company to enter
into this Agreement, during the course of employment by the Company, Employee
agrees not to, directly or indirectly, without the Company's prior, express
written consent, use, or divulge business connections, customers, customer
lists, marketing techniques, procedures, operations and other aspects of the
Company's business that have been established and protected as confidential
information and trade secrets and are of great value to the Company and provide
it with a substantial competitive advantage in its business (the "Confidential
Information"); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not be
deemed to include (i) any information that is or becomes generally available to
the public other than by disclosure by Employee, or (ii) becomes available to
Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company (or an
agent thereof), which source is not prohibited from disclosing such information
by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. Employee also agrees to return
to the Company at the time of his termination all Company property and all
Confidential Information and summaries thereof in his possession, and Employee
agrees not to copy or otherwise record or retain such Confidential Information.

         Employee recognizes that the Confidential Information is a valuable and
unique asset of the Company and accordingly, Employee agrees that the foregoing
restriction on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall continue
during his employment by the Company and after his employment ceases.
