ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL SHARES, INDEBTEDNESS AND
AGREEMENTS OF THE CONSTITUENT ENTITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Shares, Indebtedness and Agreements. By
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Prison Realty, CCA
Sub, CCA or the holders of the Constituent Capital Stock (as defined herein):
(a) Cancellation of Certain Shares, Indebtedness and Agreements. As
of the Effective Time: (i) each share of Constituent Capital Stock that is
owned by any of the parties hereto or their Subsidiaries (as defined in
Section 8.03 herein) (except for any shares of Prison Realty Stock (as
defined in Section 3.01(c) herein) owned by CCA Sub which are to be
delivered as the CCA Merger Consideration) shall automatically be canceled
and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be
delivered in exchange therefor; (ii) any indebtedness between any of the
parties hereto shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and no
consideration shall be delivered therefor; and (iii) all agreements between
any of the parties hereto shall be canceled and shall cease to exist. For
purposes hereof, the term "Constituent Capital Stock" means collectively
the Prison Realty Stock and the CCA Common Stock.
(b) Conversion of CCA Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, each
issued and outstanding share of CCA Common Stock (other than shares
canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above) shall be converted into the
right to receive that number of shares of Prison Realty Common Stock
(collectively, the "CCA Merger Consideration") determined by: (i)
multiplying $20,000,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of CCA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time which are not to be canceled pursuant to subparagraph
(a) above, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of CCA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time,
inclusive of shares which are to be canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a)
above; (ii) dividing the amount determined under clause (i) by the Prison
Realty Closing Price (as herein defined); and (iii) dividing the amount
determined under clause (ii) by the total number of shares of CCA Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are not to
be canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. All computations made in
accordance with the preceding sentence shall be rounded to two decimal
places. As of the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of CCA
Common Stock converted into Prison Realty Common Stock in accordance
herewith shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled
and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate
representing any such shares of CCA Common Stock shall cease to have any
rights with respect thereto except the right to receive the CCA Merger
Consideration, without interest thereon. Shares of Prison Realty Common
Stock that are issued in exchange for shares of CCA Common Stock which are
subject to forfeiture under the CCA Restricted Stock Plan (as defined in
Section 2.04 herein) shall become subject to the terms and restrictions of
the Prison Realty Restricted Stock Plan (as defined in Section 2.04 herein)
in accordance with Section 2.04. All remaining shares of Prison Realty
Common Stock issued in the CCA Merger shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of a Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 5.12 herein). For
purposes hereof, the term "Prison Realty Closing Price" means the average
closing price of Prison Realty Common Stock over the five trading days
ending two trading days prior to the Closing Date.
Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange. Immediately after the Effective Time, Prison Realty shall
exchange certificates representing CCA Common Stock (each, a "CCA Certificate"
and, collectively, the "CCA
B-3
5
Certificates") for the CCA Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective
Time, Prison Realty shall send to each holder of shares of CCA Common Stock
(other than Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries) at the Effective Time a
letter of transmittal for use in such exchange (which shall specify that the
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon
proper delivery of the CCA Certificates to Prison Realty) and instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the CCA Certificates for payment therefor.
(b) Exchange of Certificates. Each holder of shares of CCA Common Stock
that have been converted into the right to receive the CCA Merger Consideration
will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to Prison Realty of a CCA
Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the CCA
Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CCA Common Stock represented by
such CCA Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such CCA Certificate shall,
after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive
such CCA Merger Consideration.
(c) Form of Certain Transfers. If any portion of the CCA Merger
Consideration is to be paid to a person (as defined in Section 8.03 herein)
other than the person in whose name a CCA Certificate is registered, it shall be
a condition to such payment that the CCA Certificate so surrendered shall be
properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the
person requesting such payment shall pay to Prison Realty any transfer or other
taxes required as a result of such payment to a person other than the registered
holder of such CCA Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Prison Realty
that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) Transfers After the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there
shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of CCA Common Stock. If,
after the Effective Time, CCA Certificates are presented to Prison Realty or the
Surviving Company, they shall be canceled and promptly exchanged for the
consideration provided for, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Article.
(e) Unclaimed Shares. Neither Prison Realty nor the Surviving Company
shall be liable to any holder of CCA Common Stock for any amount paid to a
public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws.
(f) Dividends. No dividends, interest or other distributions with respect
to securities of Prison Realty constituting part of the CCA Merger Consideration
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered CCA Certificates until such CCA
Certificates are surrendered as provided in this Section. Upon such surrender,
there shall be paid, without interest, to the person in whose name the
securities of Prison Realty have been registered, all dividends, interest and
other distributions payable in respect of such securities on a date subsequent
to, and in respect of a record date after, the Effective Time.
Section 2.03 Qualified Plans. As of the Effective Time, Prison Realty
shall adopt the Corrections Corporation of America 401(k) Savings and Retirement
Plan (the "CCA 401(k) Plan"), and shall cause benefits under the Prison Realty
401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Prison Realty 401(k) Plan") to cease to
accrue. After the Effective Time, the Prison Realty 401(k) Plan and the CCA
Prison Realty Trust Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the "Prison
Realty ESOP") (the benefits under which ceased to accrue as of December 31,
1998) may, at the discretion of Prison Realty, be maintained as frozen plans in
compliance with applicable law. Prior to the Effective Time, Prison Realty and
CCA shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the
CCA 401(k) Plan, the Prison Realty 401(k) Plan and the Prison Realty ESOP) that
are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section.

Section 2.04 Restricted Stock Plans. As of the Effective Time, the
Correctional Management Services Corporation 1998 Restricted Stock Plan (the
"CCA Restricted Stock Plan") shall be merged into a new restricted stock plan
(the "Prison Realty Restricted Stock Plan") with terms and conditions similar to
those of the CCA Restricted Stock Plans, except that any shares forfeited under
the Prison Realty Restricted Stock Plan shall be forfeited to all plan
participants. Prison Realty, CCA Sub and CCA shall take all actions that are
necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section.
Section 2.05 Warrants to Purchase CCA Common Stock. At the Effective Time,
each warrant to purchase shares of CCA Common Stock (the "CCA Warrants"),
whether or not exercisable, shall be deemed to constitute a warrant to acquire,
on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the
original warrant to which it relates (a "Substitute Warrant"), the same number
of shares of Prison Realty Common Stock as the holder of such warrant would have
been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such
CCA Warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per
share of Prison Realty Common Stock computed in compliance with the terms of
such CCA Warrant; provided, however, that the number of shares of Prison Realty
Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Substitute Warrant
shall not include any fractional share. Prior to the Effective Time, CCA will
use its best efforts to obtain such consents, if any, as may be necessary to
give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section. In addition, prior
to the Effective Time, CCA will use its best efforts to make any amendments to
the terms of the CCA Warrants that are necessary to give effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Section. Except as contemplated by this
Section, CCA will not, after the date hereof, without the written consent of
Prison Realty, amend any outstanding CCA Warrants. Prison Realty, CCA Sub and
CCA shall take all actions that are necessary to give effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Section, including without limitation such actions, if any,
as are described in the CCA Warrants.
Section 2.06 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Prison Realty
Common Stock shall be issued to shareholders of CCA in connection with the
Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of CCA Common Stock otherwise
entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fractional share of Prison
Realty Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without
interest), rounded to the nearest cent, representing such holder's proportionate
interest in the net proceeds resulting from the sale (after deduction of all
expenses resulting from such sale) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
through one or more of its member firms of the fractional shares of Prison
Realty Common Stock all holders of shares of CCA Common Stock would otherwise be
entitled to receive as a result of the Merger.
Section 2.07 Lost Certificates. If any CCA Certificate shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming such CCA Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if
required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such person of a bond, in such
reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any
claim that may be made against it with respect to such CCA Certificate, Prison
Realty (or its duly appointed transfer agent) will issue in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed CCA Certificate the CCA Merger Consideration to be
paid in respect of the shares represented by such CCA Certificates as
contemplated by this Article.

Realty in good faith, (b) Liens for current Taxes not yet due or
payable, (c) any covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations,
rights, Liens, easements, encumbrances, encroachments and other matters

property leases, subleases, licenses and use or occupancy agreements
pursuant to which Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries is the
lessee, sublessee, licensee, user or occupant of real property other

Realty Owned Real Property and the Prison Realty Leased Real Property.
The Prison Realty Filed SEC Documents describe all material Prison
Realty Real Property. Except as disclosed therein, or in the title
insurance policies relating to the Prison Realty Real Property or in the
Prison Realty Disclosure Schedule, each of Prison Realty and its
Subsidiaries has good, valid and marketable title to the Prison Realty
Real Property free of all Liens, in each case except Prison Realty
Permitted Liens. Except as set forth in Section 3.01(l)(i) of the Prison

sale of any of the Prison Realty Real Property, except those contracts
relating to Prison Realty Real Property the value in respect of which
does not exceed $5,000,000 individually or $15,000,000 in the aggregate.
Except for such exceptions as would not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect, (a) each Prison Realty Lease is valid and
binding upon Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries and in full force and
effect and grants the lessee under the Prison Realty Lease the exclusive
right to use and occupy the premises, and (b) either Prison Realty or

Real Property in the conduct of the business of Prison Realty and its
Subsidiaries does not violate any instrument of record or agreement
affecting the Prison Realty Real Property, except for such violations
that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect. Valid policies of title insurance
have been issued insuring Prison Realty's or, if applicable, its
Subsidiary's, fee simple title to the Prison Realty Owned Real Property
owned by it, subject only to Prison Realty Permitted Liens, except where
the failure of such policies to be in full force and effect would not
reasonably be expected, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse
effect. To the best knowledge of Prison Realty, such policies are, at
the date hereof, in full force and effect, except where the failure to
have such valid policies of title insurance would not reasonably be
expected, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect. To the
best knowledge of Prison Realty, no material claim has been made against
any such policy. Except as provided in Schedule 3.01(l) of the Prison
Realty Disclosure Schedule, Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries have no
knowledge (a) that any certificate, permit or license from any

Real Property or any agreement, easement or other right which is

improvements on any of the Prison Realty Real Property or which is
necessary to permit the lawful use and operation of all driveways, roads
and other means of egress and ingress to and from any of the Prison
Realty Real Property has not been obtained and is not in full force and
effect, or of any pending threat of modification or cancellation of any

written notice of any violation of any federal, state or municipal law,
ordinance, order, regulation or requirement issued by any Governmental

relating to any Prison Realty Real Property which would have a material
adverse effect, (d) of any Prison Realty Real Property whose building

relating to a property in which Prison Realty or its Subsidiaries (or an
entity in which it directly or indirectly has an interest) is the
landlord, either pursuant to the terms of a lease agreement or as
successor to any prior landlord. No default exists under any Prison
Realty Space Lease, except for such defaults as would, individually or
in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect.

Section 4.04 No Solicitation by Prison Realty.
(a) Prison Realty shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, nor shall it authorize or permit any officer, director or employee of, or
any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of, Prison
Realty or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit,
initiate, encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission of any alternative
proposal or (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, any
alternative proposal; provided, however, that prior to the receipt of the Prison
Realty Stockholder Approval, Prison Realty may, in response to a bona fide
alternative proposal that constitutes a superior proposal (as defined in Section
4.04(b) herein) and that was made after the
B-34
36
date hereof (and not solicited by Prison Realty after the date hereof) by any
person, and subject to compliance with Section 4.04(c) herein, (A) furnish
information with respect to Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries to such person
and its representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement and
discuss such information with such person and its representatives and (B)
participate in negotiations regarding such alternative proposal. For purposes of
this Section 4.04, the term "alternative proposal" means any inquiry, proposal
or offer from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or
purchase of 10% or more of the assets (based on the fair market value thereof)
of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or of 10% or more of any class of
equity securities of Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries or any tender
offer or exchange offer (including by Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries)
that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 10% or more
of any class of equity securities of Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of substantially all
assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction
involving Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries other than the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Except as set forth in this Section 4.04, the Board of Directors of

or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any alternative proposal or (iii)
cause or agree to cause Prison Realty to enter into any letter of intent,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement related to
any alternative proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of
Directors of Prison Realty receives a superior proposal, such Board of Directors
may, prior to the receipt of the Prison Realty Stockholder Approval, withdraw or
modify its approval or recommendation of the Merger and this Agreement, approve
or recommend a superior proposal or terminate this Agreement, but in each case
only at a time that is at least five business days after receipt by CCA of

indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than
10% of the shares of capital stock of Prison Realty then outstanding or all or
substantially all the assets of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries and otherwise
on terms which the Board of Directors of Prison Realty determines in good faith
(after consultation with its financial advisor) to be more favorable to Prison
Realty=s stockholders than the Merger and the issuance of securities pursuant to
the Securities Purchase Agreement and for which financing, to the extent
required, is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of such Board
of Directors, is reasonably capable of being financed by such third party.
(c) In addition to the obligations of Prison Realty set forth in paragraphs
(a) and (b) above, Prison Realty promptly shall advise CCA orally and in writing
of any request for information or of any alternative proposal, the material
terms and conditions of such request or alternative proposal and the identity of
the person making any such request or alternative proposal and any determination
by the Board of Directors of Prison Realty that a alternative proposal is or may
be a superior proposal. Prison Realty will keep CCA informed as to the status
and material details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such
request or alternative proposal.

Prison Realty, (a) CCA shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries

indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or knowingly facilitate the
submission of any alternative proposal or (ii) enter into or participate in any
discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information
with respect to, any alternative proposal. For purposes of this Section 4.05,
