2.01        Leased Property.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Improvements and Fixtures located or to be located on the Land (each as more particularly described and defined below, and the foregoing shall collectively be known and referred to as the “Leased Property”).  Such Leased Property shall consist of:

(a)           All buildings, improvements, structures and fixtures now located or to be located or to be constructed on the Land, including, without limitation, the Facility and all landscaping, parking lots and structures, roads, drainage and all above ground and underground utility structures, and other so-called “infrastructure” improvements (collectively, the “Improvements”); and

(b)           All equipment, machinery, fixtures, and other items of real and/or personal property, including all components thereof, located in, on or used in connection with, and permanently affixed to or incorporated into, the Improvements including, without limitation, all furnaces, boilers, heaters, electrical equipment, electronic security equipment, heating, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, refrigerating, incineration, air and water pollution control, waste disposal, air-cooling and air-conditioning systems and apparatus, sprinkler systems and fire and theft protection equipment, and similar systems, all of which, to the greatest extent permitted by law, are hereby deemed to constitute real estate, together with all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions thereto (collectively, the “Fixtures”);

SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the easements, liens, encumbrances, restrictions, agreements, and other title matters listed or specifically referred to or listed in Schedule B hereto (collectively, “Permitted Exceptions”).

2.02        Term.  The initial term (the “Initial Term”) of this Lease Agreement shall be for a fixed term commencing on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”), and ending on expiration at midnight ten years after the Deemed Completion Date, unless earlier terminated or extended as provided herein (the “Expiration Date”).

7

2.03        Option to Renew.

(a)           Provided that, at the time of such exercise, (i) this Lease Agreement is in full force and effect, and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (either at the time of exercise or at the commencement of an Extended Term), Tenant shall have the exclusive right and option to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement for up to two (2) additional terms (each an “Extended Term” and collectively, the “Extended Terms”) of ten (10) years each by giving written notice to Landlord not later than three (3) months nor earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Term then in effect.  The effective giving of such notice of extension by Tenant shall automatically extend the Term of this Lease Agreement for the applicable Extended Term, and no instrument of renewal or extension need be executed, In the event that Tenant fails timely to give such notice to Landlord, this Lease Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Term then in effect, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement, unless Landlord accepts such untimely notice in writing.  Each Extended Term shall commence on the day immediately succeeding the expiration date of the Term then in effect, and shall end on the day immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the first day of such Extended Term.  Each Extended Term shall be on all the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement, except: (i) during the second Extended Term, Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term, and (ii) the Base Rent for each Extended Term shall be adjusted in accordance with Paragraph (c), below, based on the CPI-U as of the commencement of the applicable Extended Term.

(b)           After receipt by Landlord of a notice from Tenant electing to extend the Term of this Lease Agreement under Subsections 2.03(a) above, Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter as soon as practicable determine and set forth in a written acknowledgement any adjustment to the Base Rent in accordance with Paragraph (c) below in connection to such extension.

(c)           In the event Tenant elects to extend the Initial Term, the Designated Rate to be applicable during the initial Extended Term will be adjusted to reflect the net change in consumer prices during the period commencing with the Rental Commencement Date and ending on the expiration of the Initial Term, such net change and resulting adjustment to be determined by reference to the CPI-U as of the beginning and end of such period.  The resulting adjusted Designated Rate (the “First Extension Designated Rate”) will be used for the first Extended Term.  In the event Tenant elects to extend the Term for a second ten year period, the First Extension Designated Rate will be adjusted in the same manner to reflect the net change in consumer prices during the period commencing with the first day of the initial Extended Term and ending on the expiration of such initial Extended Term, such net change and resulting adjustment to be determined by reference to the CPI-U as of the beginning and end of such period.  The resulting adjusted First Extension Designated Rate will be used for the second Extended Term.  In applying the CPI-U for purposes of calculating the Designated Rate to be applicable during an Extended Term, the CPI-U for the months in which there occurred the first and last Rental Payment Dates of the immediately preceding Term shall be used.  Attached as Schedule D is an example illustrating calculation of an adjustment to the Designated Rate in connection with a hypothetical Extended Term.

(d)           The term “Term” used in this Lease Agreement means the Initial Term, and any Extended Term exercised hereunder, as appropriate.  The term “Lease Year” means each twelve

8

(12) month period during the Term commencing on the Commencement Date or, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the first Lease Year shall consist of the partial calendar month following the Commencement Date and the succeeding twelve full calendar months, and each successive twelve month period thereafter during the Term, provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

2.04        Holding Over.  Should Tenant, without the express consent of Landlord, continue to hold and occupy the Leased Property after the expiration of the Term, such holding over beyond the Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent (as defined below) by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a tenancy from month-to-month and not for any other term whatsoever.  Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any such holdover and, in addition to such damages, during any such holdover period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month (or portion thereof) Tenant remains in the Leased Property, one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect on the expiration date and all Additional Rent applicable to such holdover period.  Such month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant thirty (30) days written notice, and at any time after such termination, Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property in accordance with applicable law.

2.05        Surrender.  Except as a result of (i) Tenant Improvements and Capital Additions, (ii) normal wear and tear, taking into consideration the purpose for which the Leased Property is to be used and the degree of wear and tear on physical plant facilities and systems in other similar correctional/detention facilities, and (iii) casualty, taking or other damage and destruction not required to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of the Term (including any Extended Terms), in generally good order and condition.

4.03        Utilities.  Tenant shall be responsible to procure the supply of any and all utilities necessary for Tenant’s use and occupation of the Leased Property and Landlord will have absolutely no responsibility or obligation to provide any utility or other service to the Leased Property.  Tenant shall contract for, in its own name, and will pay, as Additional Rent all taxes, assessments, charges/deposits, fees and bills for utilities including, without limitation, charges for water, gas, oil, sanitary and storm sewer, electricity, telephone service, trash collection, internet access and all other utilities that may be charged against any occupant or user of the Improvements during the Term.  Tenant shall at all times maintain that amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water lines.

4.04        Escrow of Impositions.  In the event Tenant fails to timely pay any or all of the Impositions with respect to the Facility two (2) times in any one (1) tax period or three (3) times in any two (2) consecutive tax periods, then, upon ten (10) days written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall thereafter deposit with Landlord on the first day of each month during the remaining Term hereof and any extended Term, a sum equal to one-twelfth (l/12th) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Impositions assessed or to be assessed against such Leased Property during the tax year of the then applicable Lease Year, which sum shall be used by Landlord toward payment of such Impositions.  If at the end of any applicable tax year, any such funds held by Landlord are insufficient to make full payment of taxes or other Impositions for which such funds are held, Tenant, on demand, shall pay to Landlord any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.  If, however, at the end of any applicable tax year, such funds held by Landlord are in excess of the total payment required to satisfy taxes or other Impositions for which such funds are held, Landlord shall apply such excess amounts to Tenant’s tax and Imposition escrow fund for the next tax year.  If any such excess exists following the expiration or earlier termination of

12

this Lease Agreement, Landlord shall promptly refund such excess amounts to Tenant.  The receipt by Landlord of the payment of such Impositions by and from Tenant shall only be as an accommodation to Tenant and the taxing authorities, and shall not be construed as rent or income to Landlord, and shall not be deemed as the assumption by Landlord to pay such Impositions or be deemed a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s obligation to pay such Impositions, Landlord serving, if at all, only as a conduit for delivery purposes.

4.05        Discontinuance of Utilities.  Landlord will not be liable for damages to person or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business, whether the business of Tenant or any other Person, for any failure or interruption in the supply of utilities, or discontinuance of utilities nor will such failure, interruption or discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of Rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease Agreement.

4.06        Non-Duplication of Additional Rent.  Notwithstanding Tenant’s obligation to pay all Impositions and other Additional Rent in accordance with the terms hereof, Tenant shall not pay any amount owed that is duplicative of an obligation that Tenant is required to pay as an Imposition or other category of Additional Rent under the Ground Lease Agreement.

9.03        Cooperation of Landlord.  Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant and take such actions, including the execution and delivery to Tenant of any applications or other documents, reasonably requested by Tenant in order to obtain any governmental approvals sought by Tenant that have either been approved by Landlord or for which Landlord’s approval is not required to construct any Tenant Improvement within ten (10) business days following the later of (a) the date Landlord receives Tenant’s request together with all information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the Tenant Improvements, or (b) the date of delivery of any such application or document to Landlord together with all information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the Tenant Improvements, so long as the taking of such action, including the execution of such applications or documents, shall be without cost to Landlord (or if there is a cost to Landlord, such cost shall be reimbursed by Tenant), and will not cause Landlord to be in violation of any law, ordinance, rule or regulation.

9.04        Commencement of Construction.  Tenant shall perform all of the following in connection with the Tenant Improvements:

(a)           Tenant shall diligently seek all governmental approvals relating to the construction of any Tenant Improvement;

(b)           Once Tenant begins the construction of any Tenant Improvement, Tenant shall diligently prosecute any such construction to completion materially in accordance with applicable insurance requirements, the requirements of any governmental approval or permit relating thereto and the laws, rules and regulations of all governmental bodies or agencies having jurisdiction over the Leased Property;

(c)           Permit Landlord at any time and from time to time to post and maintain upon the Leased Property or the Land such notices as may be necessary to protect Landlord’s interest from mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, construction liens, or liens of a similar nature;

9.05        Rights in Tenant Improvements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, all Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to Section 9.01, any and all subsequent additions thereto and alterations and replacements thereof, shall be the sole and absolute property of Landlord upon the expiration or early termination of this Lease Agreement.  Tenant shall be entitled to all federal and state income tax benefits associated with any Tenant Improvement (other than a Capital Addition purchased or financed by Landlord) during the Term of this Lease Agreement.

9.08        Signs.  Tenant may, at its own expense, erect and maintain identification signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances, rules, permits, approvals and regulations.  On the termination or expiration of this Lease Agreement, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, shall remove the signs and repair any damage to the Leased Property or the Land resulting from such removal, which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination hereof.

26

(ix)          such other certificates (including, but not limited to, endorsements, increasing the insurance coverage, if any, at the time required), documents, opinions of counsel, appraisals, surveys, certified copies of duly adopted resolutions of the board of directors of Tenant authorizing the execution and delivery of all loan documents and any amendment to an this Lease Agreement and any other instruments as may be reasonably required by Landlord and any lending institution advancing any portion of the cost of the Capital Addition.

(d)           (i)  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the terms of the financing by Landlord of a Capital Addition, Tenant may, subject to the terms of this Section 9.09, undertake the cost of any such Capital Addition and seek construction, permanent or other financing from other sources, provided that Tenant shall not use financing for such Capital Addition obtained from such other sources unless the terms and conditions of such financing from other sources are offered by such third party within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant is notified of the Landlord Financing Terms, and the terms and conditions of such other financing provide overall financial terms that are more favorable to the Tenant than those provided by the Landlord Financing Terms (as reasonably determined by Tenant after comparison of the true interest or capitalization rates, amortization and other material factors).  In the event Tenant shall reach an agreement to obtain financing for a Capital Addition from a third party, Tenant shall provide a copy to Landlord of the final set of terms agreed upon by Tenant with such third party.  Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in obtaining all necessary approvals for such Capital Addition, at no cost or expense to Landlord.

(ii)           If Tenant obtains any construction, permanent or other financing in connection with any Capital Addition, such financing may be secured by Tenant’s leasehold interests in this Lease Agreement and the Ground Lease Agreement and by Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property and the Land and/or the Capital Addition, provided that Tenant may not finance any Capital Addition with any such lien or encumbrance on Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease Agreement or the Ground Lease Agreement or on Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property or the Land or Capital Addition, unless (a) the leasehold mortgagee or lender has entered into a non-disturbance agreement with the Landlord upon terms

ARTICLE X

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.01      Events of Default.

(a)           Tenant Defaults.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall be an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) hereunder:

(i)            Tenant fails to make payment when due of any installment of Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease Agreement and such failure shall continue for ten (10) calendar days after written notice of such failure is given to Tenant by Landlord;

(ii)           Tenant fails, for the third or subsequent time within a given calendar year, to make payment when due of any installment of Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease Agreement;

(iii)          Tenant fails to observe and perform, in any material respect, any other material covenant, condition or agreement under this Lease Agreement to be performed by Tenant (except those described in Section 10.01(a)(i) of this Lease Agreement) that is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Landlord; provided, however, that if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period through the use of diligent efforts, such period shall be extended for so long as Tenant continues to exercise diligent efforts to cure such default;

(iv)          If Tenant: (a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (b) files a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act, (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) is unable to pay its debts as they mature, (e) consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or (f) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or

29

arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof;

(v)           If Tenant, on a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, is adjudicated as bankrupt or a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Tenant, a receiver of Tenant of the whole or substantially all of its property, or approving a petition filed against it seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof, and such judgment, order or decree is not vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of the entry thereof;

(vi)          If the estate or interest of Tenant in any material portion of the Leased Property is levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same is not vacated or discharged within the earlier of sixty (60) days after commencement thereof or thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant is diligently contesting such lien or attachment in good faith); or

(vii)         An Event of Default, as defined in the Ground Lease Agreement, shall have occurred.

10.02      Remedies.  Landlord, in its own name or through a designee or assignee including, but not limited to, Landlord’s mortgagee (the “Landlord Designee”), may exercise any one or more of the following remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and while it is continuing:

(a)           Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement, exclude Tenant from possession of the Leased Property and use reasonable efforts to lease such Leased Property to others, including any Landlord Designee.  If this Lease Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.02(a), Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other sums which would have been owing by Tenant under the Lease Agreement for the balance of the Term if the Lease Agreement had not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, received on any re-letting of the Leased Property by Landlord subsequent to such termination, and any other income or other proceeds of any nature realized from the sale, lease or other disposition or utilization of the Leased Property by Landlord, in each case after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with such re-letting.  Landlord will be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which the Rent and other amounts would have been payable under this Lease Agreement if it had not been terminated and Landlord will be entitled to receive such damages from Tenant on each such day.  Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, if this Lease Agreement is terminated, and at any time thereafter, Landlord will be entitled, in lieu of proceeding to collect damages on a monthly basis as set forth in the preceding sentence, to recover from Tenant (i) all accrued unpaid Rent then due and payable, and (ii) the worth at the time of the award (as hereafter defined) of the future Rent which would have been due and payable from the date of termination through the Expiration Date as if this Lease Agreement had not been terminated.  The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (ii) means the “present value”, discounted using the New York Prime Rate (as defined below), of the future Rent that would have been due and payable in the absence of such termination.  For purposes of this Lease Agreement, the “New

30

York Prime Rate” shall mean the lesser of (a) that rate of interest identified as prime or national prime by the Wall Street Journal, as of the applicable date of termination of this Lease Agreement, or if not published or found, then the average rate of interest then charged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. on ninety (90) day unsecured notes to its preferred customers and (b)the maximum, lawful rate of interest allowed by applicable law.  For the purpose of determining unpaid future Rent under clause (ii), such Rent will be deemed to be the sum of the following: (A) the Base Rent computed pursuant to Section 3.01; and (B) the Additional Rent computed pursuant to Section 3.02.  Such computation of Additional Rent shall be based on the Additional Rent paid for the Lease Year preceding the date of termination, increased by four (4%) percent per year thereafter.  Following payments by Tenant of the foregoing amounts, Landlord shall deliver and pay over to Tenant all rent, income, and other proceeds of any nature realized from the sale, lease or other disposition or utilization of the Leased Property, if any, actually received by Landlord, less Landlord’s reasonably incurred costs and expenses of maintaining and re-leasing or selling the Leased Property.

(b)           (i)            Without demand or notice, Landlord or any Landlord Designee may re-enter and take possession of the applicable Leased Property; and repossess such Leased Property as of the Landlord’s former estate; and, to the extent permitted by law with respect to a correctional or detention facility, expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant from such Leased Property; and, remove the effects of both or either, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenants or conditions.  If Landlord or Landlord’s Designee elects to re-enter the Leased Property as provided in this Section 10.02(b) or if Landlord or Landlord’s Designee takes possession of such Leased Property pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord or Landlord’s Designee, from time to time, without terminating this Lease Agreement, may re-let such Leased Property or any part of such Leased Property, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the Improvements of which such Leased Property are a part, in Landlord’s or Landlord’s Designee’s name but for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease Agreement) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions of free rent, and the alteration and repair of such Leased Property) as Landlord or Landlord’s Designee, in its discretion, may reasonably determine.  Landlord or Landlord’s Designee may collect and receive the rents, including the Rent, for such Leased Property.  Landlord or Landlord’s Designee will not be responsible or liable for any failure to re-let such Leased Property, or any part of such Leased Property, or for any failure to collect any rent, including the Rent, due upon such re-letting.  No such re-entry or taking possession of such Leased Property by Landlord or Landlord’s Designee will be construed as an election on Landlord’s or Landlord’s Designee’s part to terminate this Lease Agreement unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.  No notice from Landlord or Landlord’s Designee under this Lease Agreement or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease Agreement unless such notice specifically so states.  Landlord and/or Landlord’s Designee reserves the right following any such re-entry or re-letting, or both, to exercise its right to terminate this Lease Agreement by giving Tenant such written notice, and, in that event this Lease Agreement will terminate as specified in such notice.

31

(ii)           If Landlord or Landlord’s Designee elects to take possession of such Leased Property according to this Section 10.02(b) without terminating this Lease Agreement, Tenant will pay Landlord (A) the Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease Agreement if such repossession had not occurred, less (B) the net proceeds, if any, of any re-letting of such Leased Property after deducting all of Landlord’s or Landlord’s Designee’s expenses incurred in connection with such re-letting, including without limitation, all reasonable and customary repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expense, attorneys’ fees and expenses, expense of employees, alteration, remodeling and repair costs, and expenses of preparation for such re-letting.  If, in connection with any re-letting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing Term or such Leased Property covered by such re-letting includes areas which are not part of such Leased Property, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such re-letting and the expenses incurred in connection with such re-letting will be made in determining the net proceeds received from such re-letting.  In addition, in determining the net proceeds from such re-letting over the term of this Lease Agreement, any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease.  Tenant will pay such amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Rent and all other amounts owing under this Lease Agreement would have been payable if possession had not been retaken, and Landlord or Landlord’s Designee will be entitled to receive the Rent and other amounts from Tenant on each such day.

(c)           Landlord or Landlord’s Designee may re-enter the applicable Leased Property and have, repossess and enjoy the Leased Property as if such Lease Agreement had not been made, and in such event, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for any contingent or unliquidated obligations or sums owing at the time of such repossession.

(d)           Landlord may exercise any remedy with respect to any collateral given by Tenant or its affiliates in connection with this Lease Agreement.

(e)           Landlord or Landlord’s Designee may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease Agreement then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligations, agreements or covenants of Tenant under this Lease Agreement.

(f)            Landlord or Landlord’s Designee may exercise any remedy specifically provided for in this Lease Agreement.

10.03      Right of Set-Off.  While an Event of Default is continuing, Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant, at any time and from time to time, after ten (10) business days prior written notice to Tenant, to set-off and apply any and all sums held by Landlord, including all sums held in any escrow for Impositions, any indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any claims by Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant under this Lease Agreement and against any claims by Landlord against Tenant, whether or not Landlord has exercised any other remedies hereunder.  The rights of Landlord under this Section 10.03 are in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have against Tenant.

10.04      Performance of Tenant’s Covenants.  Except in cases of emergency, in which event Landlord may proceed without notice, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, perform any obligation of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within thirty (30) business days after

32

Landlord has sent a written notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure (provided no such notice shall be required if such failure is covered under the provisions of Section 10.01).  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any expenditures thus incurred by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at the New York Prime Rate.

10.05      Interest on past Due Payments.  Any payment not made by Tenant for more than five (5) days after the same is due shall bear interest at the New York Prime Rate from the due date thereof through the date such payment is actually received by Landlord, provided that in the event Tenant fails to make three or more payments when due during any single calendar year, such third or any subsequent payments not paid when due during such year shall bear interest from the due date thereof until payment is received by Landlord without regard to whether such payment is made within five (5) days of such due date.

10.06      Litigation; Attorneys’ Fees.  Within ten (10) days after Tenant has knowledge of any material litigation or other proceeding that may be instituted against Tenant, in relation to the Leased Property or to secure or recover possession thereof, or that may affect the title to or the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord.  Within thirty (30) business days after Landlord’s presentation of an invoice, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or presenting Landlord’s rights under this Lease Agreement, whether or not an Event of Default has actually occurred or has been declared and thereafter cured, including without limitation, (i) the reasonable fees, expenses, and costs of any litigation, receivership, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding; (ii) reasonable attorney, paralegal, consulting and witness fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord whether or not any suit or proceeding has commenced; and (iii) the reasonable expenses, including without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation, of Landlord and its employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for litigation, administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and attendance at hearings, depositions, and trials in connection therewith.  All such costs, charges and fees as incurred shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease Agreement.

10.07      Remedies Cumulative.  The respective remedies of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease Agreement are cumulative to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord or Tenant, at law or in equity.  The use of any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to use any other remedy.

10.08      Escrows and Application of Payments.  As security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease Agreement and all deposits with utility companies, taxing authorities, and insurance companies; provided, however, that Landlord shall not exercise its rights hereunder unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Any payments received by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease Agreement during the existence, or continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order that Landlord may determine.

10.09      Power of Attorney.  Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints Landlord, or Landlord’s authorized officer, agent, employee or designee, as Tenant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act, while an Event of Default is continuing, for Tenant in Tenant’s

33

name, place, and stead, and for Tenant’s and Landlord’s use and benefit, to execute, deliver and file all applications and any and all other necessary documents or things, to effect a transfer, reinstatement, renewal and/or extension of any and all licenses and other governmental authorizations issued to Tenant in connection with Tenant’s operation of the Leased Property, and to do any and all other acts incidental to any of the foregoing.  Tenant irrevocably and unconditionally grants to Landlord as its attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform, while an Event of Default is continuing, every act necessary and proper to be done in the exercise of any of the foregoing powers as fully as Tenant might or could do if personally present or acting, with full power of substitution, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable prior to the full performance of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.01      General.  Tenant shall notify Landlord if the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed by reason of fire or any other casualty or cause.  Tenant shall use available insurance proceeds to promptly repair, rebuild, or restore the Leased Property so as to make the Leased Property as nearly similar in character and functionality to the Leased Property existing prior to such occurrence as is practicable and reasonable.  Tenant will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control.  Landlord will make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance received by Landlord for any such repair or rebuilding after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.  Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with such repairs or rebuilding that are estimated to exceed in the aggregate $5,000,000 (which amount shall be increased by three percent (3%) per annum cumulatively for each subsequent Lease Year (“Substantial Repairs”), Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, complete and detailed plans and specifications for such Substantial Repairs and the proposed construction contract for such restoration work.  Payment on account of Substantial Repairs will be made out of available insurance proceeds, as work satisfactorily progresses, against properly certified vouchers of the contractors responsible for the work.  Prior to commencing Substantial Repairs, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work.  Upon the completion of rebuilding or repairing and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or rebuilding will be paid to Tenant.  Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose.  Tenant shall complete all such repairs or rebuilding free and clear of mechanic’s, construction or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting or with jurisdiction over the Leased Property and such repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body, affecting the Leased Property.  Any remaining proceeds of insurance after such restoration will be Tenant’s property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.01, in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased

34

Property that occurs prior to the occurrence of Substantial Completion (as defined in the Development Agreement), (i) the entire amount of net available insurance proceeds shall be deposited in the Loss Proceeds Account (or held for deposit therein in the event the Loss Proceeds Account has not yet been established), (ii) the repairs and renovations to be conducted as a result of such damage or destruction and the timeline therefor shall be deemed a supplement to, and a part of, the Development Plan, and each cost in respect thereof shall be deemed a Project Cost and (iii) Tenant shall be entitled to use funds deposited in the Loss Proceeds Account in accordance with Article 9 of the Development Agreement to pay such costs incurred in connection to such repairs and restoration.

11.02      Landlord’s Inspection.  During the progress of Substantial Repairs, Landlord and its architects and engineers, from time to time, may inspect the Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs or rebuilding.  Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications available, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times, at the Leased Property or such other location as Landlord and Tenant shall agree.  If, during such repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers reasonably determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and specifications.  Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect.  Tenant’s obligations to supply builder’s risk insurance, according to Article V, will be applicable to any repairs or rebuilding under this Article XI.

11.03      Landlord’s Costs.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, pay the reasonable costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of this Lease Agreement, or for any services performed by Landlord’s attorneys in connection therewith; provided, however, that Landlord will consult with Tenant and notify Tenant of the estimated amount of such expenses.

11.04      Rent Abatement.  In the event that the provisions of Section 11.01 above shall become applicable, the Rent, including Additional Rent consisting of real estate taxes and other Impositions shall be abated or reduced proportionately during any period in which, by reason of such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Leased Property, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Leased Property, and such abatement or reduction shall continue for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion (as defined below) by Tenant of such work or repair and/or reconstruction.  In the event that only a portion of the Leased Property is rendered untenantable or incapable of such use, the Base Rent and all real estate taxes and other Impositions payable hereunder shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in the same proportion as the square footage contained in the Leased Property after the damage or destruction bears to the square footage contained in the Leased Property immediately prior thereto.  For purposes of this Section 11.04, “substantial completion” shall occur upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Substantial

Repairs to the Leased Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rental abatement shall be limited to the amount of any rental or business interruption insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord.

11.05      Substantial Damage During Lease Term.  Provided Tenant has complied with Section 5.01 hereof (including actually maintaining in effect rental value insurance or business interruption insurance provided for in clause (c) of Section 5.01), if at any time the Leased Property is so damaged by fire or other casualty that more than fifty percent (50%) of the square footage contained in the Leased Property are rendered unusable, and such Leased Property will not be rendered usable within nine (9) months after the date the restoration work will commence, Tenant may, within sixty (60) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the anticipated restoration period, give notice of its election to terminate this Lease Agreement and, subject to the further provisions of this Section 11.05, this Lease Agreement will cease on the tenth (10th) day after the delivery of such notice.  If this Lease Agreement is so terminated, Tenant will have no obligation to repair, rebuild or replace the Leased Property, but will have the obligation to pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of any deductible arising in connection therewith and the entire insurance proceeds (up to the amount of damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such termination) will belong to Landlord.  If this Lease Agreement is not so terminated, Tenant shall use the insurance proceeds to rebuild the Leased Property in accordance with Section 11.01.

11.06      Damage Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 11.01 to the contrary, if substantial damage to or destruction of the Leased Property occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, and if such damage or destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within six (6) months immediately following the date of loss, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement by giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, in which event Landlord shall be entitled to retain the entire insurance proceeds (up to the amount of damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such termination) and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of any deductible arising in connection therewith; provided, however, that any such notice given by Landlord shall be void and of no force and effect if Tenant binds itself in writing to timely exercise a future available option to extend the Term pursuant to provisions of this Lease Agreement within thirty (30) days following receipt of such termination notice.

11.07      Assignment of Insurance Proceeds.  In the event of termination pursuant to this Article XI, Landlord shall be entitled to and Tenant hereby unconditionally assigns all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in all proceeds of insurance and rights of recovery (up to the amount of damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such termination) against insurers on policies covering the Leased Property, and all Improvements, Fixtures, Tenant Improvements (including without limitation, any Capital Additions) from such destruction, except for such insurance proceeds that Tenant is entitled to receive for out-of-pocket expenses such as repairs for which Tenant has not been reimbursed, and this assignment shall survive the termination of this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall be a condition to Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease Agreement pursuant to this Article XI that Tenant first execute and deliver to Landlord any and all necessary documents required by Tenant’s property insurance carrier to assign in accordance with the foregoing all of Tenant’s rights to the proceeds of insurance and rights of recovery against insurers on policies covering the Leased Property, and

36

all Improvements, Fixtures, personal property and Tenant Improvements (including without limitation, any Capital Additions).

ARTICLE XII

CONDEMNATION

12.01      Definition.  For purposes of this Lease Agreement: (i) the term “Condemnation” shall mean the permanent or temporary taking of the Leased Property or the Land, or any portion thereof, by right of eminent domain, or by conveyance made in response to a threat of the exercise of such right, or by conveyance in settlement of eminent domain litigation, in each case after the occurrence of Substantial Completion (as defined in the Development Agreement), and (ii) the term “Aggregate Leased Property” shall mean collectively the Leased Property and the Land.

12.02      Apportionment of Compensation.  In the event of Condemnation of the Aggregate Leased Property, or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article XII, Landlord shall be entitled to all compensation payable by the condemning authority under applicable law (hereinafter referred to as an “Award”) for (a) the real property, or part thereof taken, (b) the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate, (c) for all improvements thereto which are taken (except Tenant Improvements which are not Capital Additions purchased or financed by Landlord and then, only the portion of any award therefor allocable to the remaining Term of this Lease Agreement), (d) for all severance damages to the remainder property caused by the Condemnation, including severance damages to the Fixtures and personal property, and (e) attorneys fees and expenses, expert fees and costs of Landlord.  Tenant shall be entitled to all compensation payable by the condemning authority under applicable law, if any, by a separate award for (w) personal property of Tenant; trade fixtures of Tenant and Tenant Improvements taken (subject to the limitations set forth above), (x) business damages suffered by Tenant, and (y) attorneys fees and expenses, expert fees and costs of Tenant.  The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event of a temporary taking by Condemnation for a period of six (6) months or less, compensation payable by the condemning authority shall be payable solely to the Tenant, subject to Tenant having paid to Landlord all Rent and other charges payable under the Lease Agreements for the period of the temporary taking.  In the event the condemning authority is not required under applicable law to pay compensation for an element of damage or loss suffered by a party hereto, that party, to that extent, shall be without a remedy, unless otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein, it being the intent of the parties that, in the absence of an express and specific agreement to the contrary, no party hereto shall be obligated to compensate the other for any damage or loss suffered as a consequence of Condemnation that is not compensable by the condemning authority under applicable law.  No party shall have the right to negotiate a settlement of any claim for compensation made or possessed by another party, nor may any party enter into an agreement with a condemning authority which waives or limits, expressly or implicitly, the entitlement of another party to full compensation in accordance with the provisions hereof.

12.03      Effect on Lease Obligations.

(a)           Total Taking.  In the event of Condemnation of the entire Aggregate Leased Property (but subject to the Lease Agreements), the Lease Agreements shall remain in effect,

37

with the condemning authority taking the Aggregate Leased Property subject to the Lease Agreements, unless the condemning authority also shall have condemned the leasehold interests of Tenant.  In the event of condemnation of the entire Aggregate Leased Property and the leasehold interests of Tenant, the parties shall be relieved from continuing performance under the Lease Agreements and Tenant shall be relieved from payment of Rent under the Lease Agreements or other charges as of the date of change of ownership and termination of such leasehold estate due to Condemnation.  The parties shall perform those obligations accruing under the Lease Agreements prior to the change in ownership, including such payment of Rent and other charges which become payable prior to the change in ownership and shall remain liable for all obligations (including indemnity obligations) which expressly survive the date of the Condemnation.  To the extent Rent has been paid under a Lease Agreement or has been paid in advance under a Lease Agreement, Landlord shall refund to the Tenant a prorated portion thereof based on the number of days of Tenant’s occupancy under the Lease Agreements for the rental period in question, compared to the number of days in the rental period for which such Rent was paid in advance.

(b)           Partial Taking.  In the event the Condemnation is of a portion of the Aggregate Leased Property, or of an easement or similar interest in the Aggregate Leased Property, the obligations of the parties under the Lease Agreements shall be unaffected unless the effect of the Condemnation is to render the Aggregate Leased Property unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use.  The Aggregate Leased Property shall be deemed “unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use” if the state or condition of the Aggregate Leased Property has been so affected by the Condemnation that, in the good faith judgment of Tenant, reasonably exercised, the Aggregate Leased Property cannot be operated on a commercially practicable basis (taking into account the economic terms of the Lease Agreements) as a correctional or detention facility.  If Condemnation renders the Aggregate Leased Property unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Tenant may terminate the Lease Agreements as of the date of the taking, or as of the date of loss of occupancy of the condemned portion (if the date for vacating the Aggregate Leased Property is different from the date of taking), or within thirty (30) days following either the date of taking or the date of loss of occupancy of the condemned portion.  Termination of the Lease Agreements shall not affect the apportionment of compensation as otherwise agreed hereinabove.

(c)           Temporary Taking.  In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of the Aggregate Leased Property for a period of six (6) months or less, the parties shall be relieved from their obligations under the Lease Agreements only to the extent performance is rendered impracticable or impossible and Tenant shall remain obligated to pay Rent and other charges due under the Lease Agreements to Landlord for the period of such temporary taking.  In the event of such a temporary taking, the entire amount of compensation payable for the temporary taking, whether paid by the condemning authority as damages, rent or otherwise, shall be payable to Tenant, subject to Tenant having paid to Landlord all Rent and other charges payable under the Lease Agreements for the period of such temporary taking.

12.04      [Intentionally Omitted.]

12.05      Restoration of Premises.  If there is a Condemnation of the Aggregate Leased Property and the Lease Agreements remain in full force and effect in accordance herewith, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant the amount of the Award actually received by Landlord, in

38

order for Tenant to accomplish all necessary restoration as reasonably determined by Tenant in consultation with Landlord.  If Tenant receives an Award, Tenant shall repair or restore any Tenant Improvements up to but not exceeding the amount of the Award payable to Tenant therefor.  Before beginning such restoration, or letting any contracts in connection with such restoration, Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, complete and detailed plans and specifications for such restoration.  Promptly after receiving Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications, Tenant will begin such restoration and will prosecute the repairs and rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, terroristic threats or actions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control.  Landlord will make available to Tenant the net proceeds of any Award paid to Landlord for such restoration, after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.  Payment will be made against properly certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord.  Prior to commencing the restoration, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly draws for such work.  Upon the completion of restoration and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the Award will be paid to Tenant.  Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the Aggregate Leased Property is reoccupied for any purpose.  Tenant shall complete such restoration free and clear of mechanic’s, construction or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, approvals or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the restoration, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body applicable to the Aggregate Leased Property.  Any remaining proceeds of the Award otherwise payable after such restoration is completed will be Tenant’s property.

12.06      Landlord’s Inspection.  During the progress of such restoration, Landlord and its architects and engineers may, from time to time, inspect the Aggregate Leased Property and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such restoration.  Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications available, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times.  If, during such restoration, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the restoration is not being done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims such restoration does not accord with the approved plans and specifications.  Upon the receipt of any such notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect.  Tenant’s obligations to supply insurance, according to Article V, will be applicable to any restoration under this Article XII.  Tenant shall be responsible to pay the costs for all such architects and engineers pursuant to Section 11.03.

ARTICLE XIII

TENANT’S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

13.01      Rights of First Refusal.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 13.01 and provided that no Event of Default under Sections 10.01(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) with respect to the Leased Property has occurred and is continuing at the time of such

39

exercise or at the expiration of this Lease Agreement, Tenant shall have a right of first refusal (the “Purchase Refusal Right”) to purchase the Leased Property (including any Leased Property owned by an Affiliate of Landlord).  So long as no Event of Default under Sections 10.01(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) with respect to the subject Leased Property has occurred and is continuing at the time of such exercise or at the expiration of this Lease Agreement), if, during the Term or any Renewal Term and for a period of thirty (30) days following termination of this Lease Agreement (other than as a result of the exercise by Landlord of its remedies under this Lease Agreement), Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord receives a bona fide third party offer to transfer the Leased Property (the “Offer”), including, without limitation, a transfer consisting of a proposed Landlord Change of Control, then, prior to accepting such Offer, Landlord shall send written notice and a copy thereof to Tenant and to any other party so designated by Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”), which Notice shall contain the identity of the third party purchaser or survivor, as the case may be, the price and other material terms of the proposed transaction.  In the case of a proposed transfer of the Leased Property as a part of a larger transaction involving the transfer of other properties of Landlord (“Multiple Property Transfer”), Landlord shall include with the Landlord’s Notice an indication of that portion of the aggregate purchase price to be paid in such Multiple Property Transfer that Landlord reasonably allocates to the Leased Property (the “Allocated Price”), which Allocated Price shall be supported by written analysis and documentation included with such Landlord’s Notice demonstrating a reasonable basis for such allocation.  Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Notice to exercise Tenant’s Purchase Refusal Right, by giving Landlord written notice thereof.  Failure of Tenant to exercise the Purchase Refusal Right within such time period set forth above shall be deemed to extinguish the Purchase Refusal Right with respect to that particular Offer and thereafter, Landlord or its Affiliates may transfer such Leased Property; provided, however, that the transfer of the Leased Property is at a price equal to or greater than the price contained in the Landlord’s Notice, and otherwise consistent in all material respects with the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s Notice (including the third party purchaser).  Tenant’s Purchase Refusal Right shall revive in the event that Landlord fails to transfer the Leased Property pursuant to the Offer within one year following the date of Landlord’s Notice; it being understood that the Refusal Right shall at all times remain in existence with respect to any other offer for which the Refusal Right has not been deemed extinguished hereunder.  In the event that Tenant elects to exercise the Purchase Refusal Right and to acquire the Leased Property thereby, (a) Tenant shall acquire such Leased Property on the same terms and conditions and subject to all time periods and other limitations as provided in Landlord’s Notice ,provided, however, (X) Tenant shall in all events have not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to close its acquisition of the Leased Property following its written notice exercising its Purchase Refusal Right), (Y) in the case of a Multiple Property Transfer, the purchase price to be paid by Tenant for the Leased Property shall be the Allocated Price, and (Z) in the case of a Landlord Change of Control, the purchase price to be paid by Tenant for the Leased Property shall be the fair market value of the Leased Property, as determined by the appraisal procedures set forth in Section 16.21 hereof, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days following the determination of a final appraised value pursuant to such Section 16.21 to close its acquisition of the Leased Property, and (b) concurrently with such acquisition, this Lease Agreement shall terminate (but Tenant shall remain liable to pay any accrued Rent due and payable on the closing date with respect to such Leased Property and all indemnifications and other provisions that survive the expiration of this Lease Agreement shall continue in effect).  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Purchase Refusal Right shall

40

not be applicable to (i) any transfer of Leased Property to (A) any Affiliate of Landlord or (B) any joint venture in which Landlord (or an Affiliate of Landlord) at all times maintains management control and an equity interest of at least ten percent (10%), so long as such Affiliate or joint venture acquires such Leased Property subject to the Purchase Refusal Right, or (ii) any transfer (directly or indirectly, including a transfer by means of a Landlord Change of Control), in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of multiple properties (including the Aggregate Leased Property) having an aggregate fair market value (including the fair market value of the Aggregate Leased Property) of which the fair market value of the Aggregate Leased Property represents no more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value at the time of transfer.  A “transfer” shall mean either (i) any conveyance of fee simple title (other than conditional assignments for security or mortgage purposes) or any lease which has a term in excess of one (1) year or (ii) a Landlord Change of Control.  A “Landlord Change of Control” shall mean the acquisition by any Person of the beneficial ownership (directly or indirectly) of the voting membership interests in the Landlord, whether through purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, unless an Affiliate of the Landlord (as constituted immediately prior to such transaction) is the surviving or acquiring Person and such Affiliate acquires such Leased Property subject to the Purchase Refusal Right.

14.02      Permitted Transfers.

41

Agreement, an “Affiliate” of an entity means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity.  For the purposes of the foregoing definition of an Affiliate, “control” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity or possession of the right to vote more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in the ordinary direction of the entity’s affairs.  For purposes of this Lease Agreement, the term “Financially Responsible Test” shall mean that the Permitted Transferee has a shareholders’ equity, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, at least equal to $100,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing but provided that there is no Event of Default is in existence under this Lease Agreement at any time during the Test Period (as hereinafter defined) or as of the Return Date (as hereinafter defined) and Landlord has not delivered to Tenant or the Permitted Transferee any notice of any uncured default under this Lease Agreement for which the cure period has not expired as of the Return Date, in the event that following the deposit of the Letter of Credit with Landlord as required by this Section 14.02(a), the Permitted Transferee satisfies the Financially Responsible Test set forth above for four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters of such Permitted Transferee (the “Test Period”) and proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that such Permitted Transferee has satisfied such Financially Responsible Test during the Test Period is delivered to Landlord, Landlord will release the Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days after Landlord determines that such Financially Responsible Test has been satisfied by the Permitted Transferee during the Test Period (the “Return Date”).

(b)           The Letter of Credit shall have a stated duration of and shall be effective for at least one year, with provision for automatic successive annual one-year extensions, and shall include the right of Landlord to draw thereon if the issuer of the Letter of Credit at any time notifies Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be automatically renewed.  The Letter of Credit shall (i) be at all times in the amount of the Security Amount, (ii) shall permit multiple and partial draws, (iii) shall be made payable to Landlord and be expressly transferable by and assignable at no charge to Landlord, to its successors or assigns of this Lease Agreement; and (iv) shall be payable at sight upon presentment to the issuer of a simple sight draft signed by Landlord accompanied by a certificate stating that Landlord is permitted to draw upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease Agreement and setting forth the amount that Landlord is permitted to draw.  The Letter of Credit shall be kept in force throughout the then remaining term of this Lease Agreement and for sixty (60) days following the expiration of this Lease Agreement, as it may be extended, except that if such earlier termination is based on Tenant’s default, the Letter of Credit shall be kept in force until sixty (60) days after the date when the Term would have expired had this Lease Agreement not been earlier terminated.  A renewal Letter of Credit shall be provided no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, and if not so provided, Landlord may draw the entire amount of the expiring Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds in a segregated account in cash for the same purposes as the Letter of Credit.  The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank reasonably satisfactory to and approved by Landlord in writing which has capital assets of at least $1,000,000,000 and capital reserves of at least $100,000,000, and which is a member of the Federal Reserve System.

(c)           Landlord shall hold the Letter of Credit throughout the then remaining Term of this Lease Agreement as security for the performance by the Permitted Transferee of all obligations hereunder.  If there is an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right from time to

42

time, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof and whether before or after enforcing its remedies to draw upon the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and retain, use or apply the proceeds to Landlord’s damages arising from, or to cure, any Event of Default.  The application of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit is not a prerequisite to Landlord’s right to resort to its remedies hereunder or at law or in equity.  Landlord shall return the balance of the Security Amount, or so much thereof as shall have theretofore not been applied or released in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.02 to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease Agreement and surrender of possession of the Property by Tenant to Landlord at such time, provided that there is then existing no Event of Default (nor any circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default).

14.03      [Intentionally Omitted.]

14.04      Permitted Subleases.  Landlord acknowledges that from time to time Tenant may respond to requests for proposals (“RFP’s”) from governmental entities seeking (a) government operating agreements, support agreements and/or service agreements (or amendments thereto) in connection with the housing or detention of inmates or detainees at all of any portions of the Leased Property including, but not limited to, the Operating Agreement (collectively, the “Service Agreements”) or (b) agreements with licensees in connection with Tenant’s operation of correctional or detention facilities as is customarily associates with or incidental to the operation of such Leased Property, which agreements may be in the nature of a sublease agreement (collectively, “Sublease Agreements”) for the housing or detention of inmates or detainees at the Leased Property.  Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord copies of all Service Agreements or Sublease Agreements in effect with respect to the Leased Property, together with any amendments thereof and any notices of termination or default received from the relevant contracting governmental entities, regardless of whether any such Service Agreement or Sublease Agreement is deemed a sublease hereunder.  Notwithstanding any provision hereunder contained to the contrary, Landlord shall have no right to approve or reject a Service Agreement or Sublease Agreement, and each Service Agreement and Sublease Agreement shall be deemed permitted hereunder, provided that the term thereof does not extend beyond the Term (including all Renewals Terms) of this Lease Agreement.

14.05      Effect of Assignment.  No assignment or sublease, including without limitation, any Sublease Agreement, shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder.  Any assignment shall be limited to Tenant’s interest in this Lease Agreement.  Any assignment, sublease or other transfer of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest herein in contravention of this Article XIV shall be voidable at Landlord’s option.

ARTICLE XV

ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

15.01      Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as Tenant performs all of its obligations under this Lease Agreement, Tenant’s possession of the Leased Property will not be disturbed by or through Landlord.

43

15.02      Landlord Mortgages: Subordination.  Without the consent of Tenant, but subject to Section 15.03, and provided that Landlord obtains an SNDA in accordance with Section 15.03, that provides that in the event any party succeeds to Landlord’s interest under this Lease Agreement when no Event of Default exists, such party will not disturb Tenant’s possession, use or occupancy of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of this Lease Agreement and will otherwise honor this Lease Agreement unchanged, Landlord may, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrances or title retention agreement on the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing.  Tenant’s rights under this Lease Agreement shall be subordinate to any ground lease or underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first lien against any Leased Property, together with any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent time affects any Leased Property or any interest of Landlord in any Leased Property, except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides that this Lease Agreement is superior.  This provision will be self-operative, and no further instrument or subordination will be required in order to effect it.  However, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at any time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other instrument described in this Section, to confirm or effect any such subordination.  If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such document within twenty (20) days after written demand, and Landlord is not in breach of this Lease Agreement, Landlord may execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any documents described in this Section.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

15.03      Attornment: Non-Disturbance.  If any holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or other similar instrument described in Section 15.02 succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently payable under this Lease Agreement.  Tenant, upon request of any Person succeeding to the interest of Landlord, including any Landlord’s Designee, shall automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to, such successor in interest without changing this Lease Agreement.  Upon request by Landlord, Landlord’s Designee or such successor in interest, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in a commercially reasonable form required by the mortgagee or holder, provided that the form of SNDA Tenant is required to execute does not amend or modify the terms of this Lease Agreement and provides that in the event any party succeeds to Landlord’s interest under this Lease Agreement when no Event of Default exists, such party will not disturb Tenant’s possession, use or occupancy of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of this Lease Agreement and will otherwise honor this Lease Agreement unchanged.  If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such document within twenty (20) days after written demand, and Landlord is not in breach of this Lease Agreement, Landlord may execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact.  Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, its successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any documents described in this Section.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(ii)           the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid;

(iii)          that the requesting party is not in default nor is there any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default, if that be the case, or specifying any existing default;

(iv)          if applicable, that the Tenant has accepted and occupies such Leased Property;

(v)           if applicable, that Tenant has no defenses, set-off’s, deductions, credits, or counterclaims against Landlord, if that be the case, or specifying such that exist;

(vi)          if applicable, that the Landlord has no outstanding construction or repair obligations; and

(vii)         such other information as may be reasonably requested.

Neither party will be required to execute an Estoppel Certificate that materially amends or materially modifies the terms of this Lease Agreement.

(b)           Any purchaser, lender or mortgagee may rely on the Estoppel Certificate.

(c)           If Tenant fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate to Landlord within ten (10) days after the request of the Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have certified that the facts set forth in the certificate are true and correct.  Further, if Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such document within twenty (20) days after written demand, and Landlord is not in breach of this Lease Agreement, Landlord may execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, Tenant hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, Landlord’s Designee and each of their respective successors and assigns, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any documents described in this Section.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(d)           If Landlord fails to deliver the estoppel certificates to Tenant within ten (10) days after the request of the Tenant, then Landlord shall be deemed to have certified that the facts set forth in the certificate are true and correct.  Further, if Landlord fails or refuses to execute,

45

acknowledge, and deliver any such document within twenty (20) days after written demand, and Tenant is not in breach of this Lease Agreement, Tenant may execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document on behalf of Landlord as Landlord’s attorney-in-fact.  Landlord hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints Tenant as Landlord’s attorney-in-fact solely for the limited and exclusive purpose to execute, acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Landlord the estoppel certificate described in this Section 15.04.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

THE COURTS SITUATED IN ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY, TEXAS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  EACH PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.01, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THIRTY DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)           EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

16.21      Appraisal.  If it becomes necessary to determine the fair market value of the Leased Property in connection with the exercise of an option to purchase with respect thereto, the Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a single appraiser to make such determination within thirty (30) days after a demand for an appraisal has been made by either the Landlord or Tenant in accordance with this Section 16.21.  If the Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within thirty (30) days thereafter, then the party giving the notice of demand for appraisal shall give notice to the other of a person selected to act as appraiser on its behalf.  Within ten (10) days after such notice, Landlord (or Tenant, as the case may be) shall by notice to the Tenant (or Landlord, as the case may be) appoint a second person as appraiser on its behalf.  The appraisers thus appointed, each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto) and have had prior experience in appraising correctional and detention facilities (or reasonably similar facilities), shall, within forty five (45) days after the date of the notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property to determine the fair market value thereof as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of their decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser has been so appointed, or if two appraisers have been so appointed but only one such appraiser has made such determination within the later to occur of 10 business days following delivery of such appraisal to the other party or fifty (50) days after the making of Tenant’s or Landlord’s request, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties.  If two appraisers have been appointed and have made their determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above and if the difference between the amounts so determined does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the fair market value shall be an amount equal

50

to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined.  If the difference between the amounts so determined exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days to appoint a third appraiser.  If no such appraiser has been appointed within such twenty (20) days or within ninety (90) days of the original request for a determination of fair market value, whichever is earlier, either Landlord or Tenant may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court.  Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall be instructed to determine the fair market value within forty five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser.  The determination of the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and the average of the sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant as the fair market value of the Leased Property.  This provision for determining by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered upon such determination in any court having jurisdiction of the matter.  Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one half (½) of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one half (½) of all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

16.22      Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant one to the other that neither of them has employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder in carrying on the negotiations relating to this Lease Agreement.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions asserted by any broker, agent or finder engaged by Tenant or with whom Tenant has dealt in connection with this Lease Agreement.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions asserted by any broker, agent or finder engaged by Landlord or with whom Landlord has dealt in connection with this Lease Agreement.

16.23      Warranties.  Notwithstanding the assignment to Landlord of the construction and manufacturers’ warranties with respect to the Leased Property or any Capital Addition in connection with the acquisition thereof from Tenant, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in Tenant’s enforcement, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of any express or implied warranties or guaranties of workmanship or materials given by contractors, subcontractors, architects, draftsmen, materialmen or manufacturers that guarantee or warrant against defective design, workmanship or materials in connection with the construction of, or any alteration or improvement to, the Leased Property.  Landlord will execute such documents as Tenant may reasonably require in order to evidence the authority of Tenant to enforce such guaranties and warranties in Landlord’s name or on Landlord’s behalf.
