Lessee will make all structural and non-structural, and ordinary and extraordinary changes, capital and other repairs and replacements, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required, whether or not caused by its act or omission, to keep the Premises in such condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, including taking, or causing to be taken, action necessary to maintain the Premises in compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements, including all applicable Environmental Laws. Lessee shall keep the Premises orderly and free and clear of rubbish. Lessor shall not be required to maintain, alter, repair, rebuild or replace any portion of the Premises or to maintain the Premises, and Lessee expressly waives the right to make repairs at

-13-

the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law at any time in effect. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall also be responsible for maintaining the Sheriff’s Offices, including, without limitation, the roof, interior and exterior walls, foundation and all structural components thereof, as well as all HVAC, gas, electric, telephone and other utility facilities and equipment serving the Sheriff’s Offices, and for providing routine janitorial service for the Sheriff’s Offices.

12. Trade Fixtures.

Title to all trade fixtures or other personal property placed on or affixed to the Premises by or on behalf of Lessee during the Term shall be and remain vested in Lessee. All such personalty of Lessee shall be removed at the expiration of the Term. Lessee shall restore the Premises to the extent damaged by any such removal.

13. Condemnation and Casualty.

(a) If during the Term less than “substantially all” (hereinafter defined) of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, then Lessee shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lessor and shall, at Lessee’s own cost and expense, proceed with diligence and promptness to carry out any necessary demolition and to restore, repair, replace, and/or rebuild the Premises in order to restore the Premises, as nearly as practicable, to a condition not less than the condition required to be maintained hereunder and to a fair market value not less than the fair market value immediately prior to such damage. All repair work shall be undertaken and completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Governmental Requirements then in effect with respect to the Premises.

(b) If all or substantially all of the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, then Lessee may, at its sole election, (1) use the insurance proceeds to restore the Premises, as nearly as practicable, to a condition not less than the condition required to be maintained hereunder and to a fair market value not less than the fair market value immediately prior to such damage. All repair work shall be undertaken and completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Governmental Requirements then in effect with respect to the Premises, or (2) give notice to Lessor of Lessee’s intention to terminate this Lease and immediately assign to Lessor all of Lessee’s insurance proceeds and benefits in connection therewith and pay any required deductible. “Substantially all” of the Premises shall be deemed to have been damaged or destroyed if the cost of restoring the Improvements is more than one-third of the greater of the fair market value of or the replacement cost of the Improvements immediately before the Destruction occurs. In the event that Lessee elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b), Lessor shall have no duty or obligation to refund to Lessee all or any portion of the prepaid Basic Rent.

(c) In the event of a temporary condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee shall be entitled to the portion of the condemnation award or proceeds in connection therewith that is attributable to the leasehold interest hereunder.

-14-

(d) If the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public purpose to such extent as to render the Premises, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor or Lessee, not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s occupancy, this Lease shall, at the option of either party, terminate on the date title shall vest in the condemnor or transferee. Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to cause any proceeds to be determined by separate awards and to the extent that they are, such award will be the exclusive compensation to both Lessor and Lessee for such taking or condemnation. To the extent that there is not a separate award for Lessee’s and Lessor’s interest, the entire award shall be paid to Lessor, who shall refund a portion of the Basic Rent paid under this Lease according to the following formula: Basic Rent times number of beds lost due exclusively to the taking or condemnation divided by (295 plus the number of beds added in any expansion) times the number of days remaining in the Term divided by 4,380. The refund of Basic Rent shall be paid exclusively from, and is limited by, the award Lessor receives due to such taking or condemnation.

14. Insurance.

(a) Lessee shall, at its cost and expense, maintain or cause to be maintained insurance of the following character and shall cause to be delivered to Lessor annual certificates of the insurers as to such coverage:

	(i)	“All risk” property insurance covering the Premises and all replacements and additions thereto, in amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Premises less Land and other uninsurable items against perils as are insurable under then available “all risk” policies.

	(ii)	Public liability insurance covering liability against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage, occurring on, in or about the Premises and the adjoining land, streets, sidewalks or ways or occurring as a result of construction, use or occupancy of the Premises or the use of products sold, or services rendered, on the Premises, in the minimum amount of $20,000,000 with respect to any one occurrence, accident or disaster or incidence of negligence. Coverage should include “premises/operations”, “independent contractors”, and “blanket contractual” liabilities. Up to the first $20 million of such coverage may be a self-insured retention, so long as Lessee maintains at least $20 million in additional coverage and has a tangible net worth of $30 million as shown on its last audited financial statements.

	(iii)	Worker’s compensation insurance (or other similar insurance or self insurance program permitted and in compliance with the laws of the State of Texas) covering all Persons employed in connection with any work done on or about the Premises with respect to which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Lessor, Lessee or the Premises, complying with the laws of the State of Texas.

	(iv)	Such other insurance, in such amounts, against such risks, and with such other provisions as is customarily and generally maintained by private operators of facilities similar to those at the Premises.

-15-

Such insurance shall not limit Lessee’s liability nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder; although such insurance shall, in part, insure Lessee’s performance of any indemnity provision of this Lease. Such insurance shall be written by insurance companies legally qualified to issue such insurance and shall name Lessee as insured, and Lessor as additional insured with respect to insurance described in clause (ii) and, to the extent applicable, clause (iv), above, and shall name Lessor as loss payee, as its interest may appear, with respect to insurance described in clause (i) and, to the extent applicable, clause (iv) above. Lessee shall obtain such insurance policies from insurance companies with a General Policy Rating of A or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide or such other insurance companies or risk management programs approved in writing by Lessor’s Mortgagee.

(b) Each policy shall (i) provide that 30 days advance written notice of cancellation, modification, termination or lapse of coverage shall be given to Lessor; and (ii) be primary and without right or provision of contribution as to any other insurance carried by Lessor or any other interested party.

(c) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor such original or duplicate policies or certificates of insurers, evidencing all of the insurance required under paragraph 14(a). Lessee shall, within ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of any such policy, deliver to Lessor such original or duplicate policies or such certificates evidencing the renewal of any such policy and payment of the premiums for such policy. If Lessee fails to maintain or renew any insurance required by this Lease and timely deliver evidence thereof as required pursuant to the preceding sentence, or to pay the premium therefor, then Lessor, at its option, but without obligation to do so, may, upon three days’ notice to Lessee, procure such insurance. Any sums so expended by Lessor shall be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be repaid by Lessee immediately after notice to Lessee of such expenditure.

(d) Lessee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of each insurance policy maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

(e) As long as their respective insurers so permit, Lessor and Lessee hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss insured by fire, extended coverage, and other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties and Lessor and Lessee shall each use their best efforts to cause their respective insurers to waive all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer, to evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver by such party and its insurer.

15. Responsibilities of Lessor.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, Lessor will enter into all intergovernmental agreements, including those relating to prisoners from out-of-state, presented by Lessee that are authorized by, and comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements, including but not limited to §511 of the Governmental Code, are for the type of prisoners for which the Premises are licensed and which contain a satisfactory indemnification of the Lessor. An indemnification substantially

-16-

equivalent to the indemnification provided by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 9 of this Lease will be deemed to be satisfactory to Lessor. Even though such Intergovernmental Agreements are between Lessor and a third party, Lessee assumes all obligations of Lessor thereunder and shall pay all reasonable expenses to be incurred thereunder directly related to the Agreement, and, except as provided in this Lease, shall retain all income therefrom. If Lessor pays any amounts due or required under such an Intergovernmental Agreement and such payment is not reimbursed by Lessee within 60 days after it is made by Lessor, such failure to reimburse Lessor shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessee.

For Intergovernmental Agreements involving out-of-state inmates, Lessor will take such actions at Lessee’s expense as necessary to comply with Texas law and regulations governing contracts for out-of-state inmates and federal prisoners in order to permit Lessee to house such out-of-state inmates or federal prisoners in the Facility.

(b) Lessor will at Lessee’s expense cooperate with Lessee for the term of the Lease to obtain all necessary approvals for operation of the Facility, including but not limited to securing use permits and licensing.

(c) Prior to Lessor incurring any expenses for which it will seek reimbursement from Lessee, Lessor shall obtain Lessee’s prior written approval.

(d) Lessor will cooperate with Lessee to obtain all necessary approvals for expansions of Facility and will consent to any reasonable expansion plan up to approximately fifty (50) beds.

16. Fees.

Lessee shall pay reasonable professional fees up to and not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate to Lessor for legal and financial advisors upon the execution of this Lease and presentation of itemized bills. Lessee shall have no objection to Lessor’s legal and financial advisors.

17. Quiet Enjoyment.

So long as no Event of Default under this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor covenants that Lessee shall and may at all times peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term subject to the provisions of this Lease.

18. Survival.

In the event of the termination of this Lease as herein provided, the obligations and liabilities of Lessee, actual or contingent, under this Lease which arose at or prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

19. Subletting: Assignment.

(a) Except as permitted under subparagraph (b), Lessee may not assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without Lessor’s consent, which

-17-

consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such request for consent shall be accompanied by the form of the proposed assignment or sublease and financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee. The Lessor will place the request on the agenda within fifteen (15) business days. Lessor’s consent shall in no event be conditioned on an increase in the Basic or Additional Rent and/or any amendment to this Lease. Any assignment or subletting without Lessor’s consent shall be voidable at Lessor’s election. The consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

(b) Lessee may assign this Lease or sublet all or any part or its interests in the Premises, without the consent of Lessor, in any of the following situations:

(i)	If the assignment or subletting is to a Lessee Entity which is a Qualified Assignee; or

(ii)	If the assignment or subletting is made to a Qualified Assignee in connection with a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving a Lessee Entity.

(c) No such sublease or assignment, whether to a Lessee Entity or to a Qualified Assignee or otherwise, shall affect or reduce any obligations of Lessee or rights of Lessor hereunder, and all obligations of Lessee hereunder shall continue in full effect as the obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no subletting or assignment had been made. Each such sublease shall specifically provide that the rights, title and estate of the sublessee are subordinate and inferior to the rights, title and estate of Lessor hereunder and shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease.

(d) For purposes of this Lease, the following events shall be deemed an assignment or sublease, as appropriate: (i) the issuance of equity interests (whether stock, partnership interests or otherwise) in Lessee or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, to any person or group of related persons, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, such that, following such issuance, such person or group shall have Control (as defined below) of Lessee; or (ii) a transfer of Control of Lessee or any subtenant or assignee, or any entity controlling any of them, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization), except that the transfer of outstanding capital stock or other listed equity interests by persons or parties other than “insiders” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the “over-the-counter” market or any recognized national or international securities exchange, shall not be included in determining whether Control has been transferred. “Control” shall mean direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of all of the voting stock of such corporation or 50% or more of all the legal and equitable interest in any other business entity.

20. Events of Default and Remedies.

(a) Any of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease:

-18-

	(i)	if Lessee shall fail to keep in full force and effect the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder from Lessor; or

	(ii)	if Lessee shall default in making payment of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent and such failure shall continue for ten Business Days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Lessor; or

	(iii)	if Lessee shall default in the performance of any material covenant, agreement or obligation on the part of Lessee to be performed under this Lease and such default shall continue for 30 days after Lessee’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lessor; provided, however, that in the case of a default which can with reasonable diligence be remedied by Lessee, if Lessee shall commence within such 30 days after its receipt of such written notice to remedy the default and thereafter shall prosecute such remedy with all reasonable diligence, the period of time within which to remedy the default shall be extended for such period as may be reasonable to remedy the same with reasonable diligence not to exceed an extension of ninety (90) days; or

	(iv)	if Lessee shall vacate or abandon the Premises, provided a temporary decrease in the number of inmates shall not be deemed to be a vacation or abandonment so long as Lessee is actively seeking inmates; or

	(v)	if Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, be dissolved, or suspend payment of its obligations; or

	(vi)	if a petition or answer shall be filed proposing the adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt or its reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, and (A) Lessee shall consent to such filing, or (B) such petition or answer shall not be discharged or denied within 60 days after such filing; or

	(vii)	if a receiver, trustee or liquidator (or similar official) shall be appointed for or take possession or charge of Lessee, of Lessee’s estate or interest in the Premises, and shall not be discharged within 60 days, or if Lessee shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment.

(b) At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, provided, Lessor shall only be entitled to terminate this Lease as a result of a default by the Lessee in the case of a default which: (1) continues undisputed for thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of a written notice thereof from Lessor; provided, however, that in the case of a default which can with reasonable diligence be remedied by Lessee, if Lessee shall commence within such thirty (30) days after its receipt of such written notice to remedy the default and thereafter shall prosecute such remedy with all reasonable diligence until the cure of same, the period of time within which to

-19-

remedy such default shall be extended for such period as may be reasonably necessary to remedy the same; or (2) is disputed in writing by Lessee within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of default from Lessor and, within ninety (90) days of Lessee’s receipt of such notice either (i) is not resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Lessor and Lessee, or (ii) is not the subject of a pending action in an appropriate judicial court within Texas; or (3) results in the termination of the license or authority to operate the Facility. Lessor may also terminate this Lease in the event an event of default is disputed as provided in (b) (2) above and results in a final nonappealable judgment in its favor, in whole or in part, which is not paid to Lessor or otherwise implemented to Lessor’s satisfaction within thirty (30) days of such judgment.

21. Notices.

Lessor’s right to obtain such a future subordination is subject to Lessor’s providing Lessee with a written Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement reasonably acceptable to Lessor’s Mortgagee and Lessee from any such ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Lessee’s right to peaceable possession of the Premises during the Lease Term shall not in any way or at any time be disturbed if Lessee pays all rental due and performs all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary, or mortgagee elects to have this Lease superior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Lessee’s rights under this Lease, unless specifically modified at the time this Lease is executed, are subordinated to any existing ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises.

(b) Attornment. If Lessor’s interest in the Premises is transferred voluntarily or involuntarily to any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Lessee shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to

-20-

Lessor’s interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Lessor under this Lease.

(d) Estoppel Certificates. Each party hereto agrees that at any time and from time to time (but not more than two (2) times in any fiscal year), it will within ten days after request by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party a certificate stating, to the best of such party’s knowledge, (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in force and effect as modified, and setting forth any modifications); (b) the date to which Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (c) whether or not there is an existing default by Lessee in the payment of Basic Rent or any other sum required to be paid hereunder, and whether or not there is any other existing default by Lessee with respect to which a notice of default has been served or of which the signer has knowledge, and, if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof; (d) whether or not there are any setoffs, defenses or counterclaims against enforcement of the obligations to be performed hereunder existing in favor of the party executing such certificate; and (e) stating that Lessee is in possession of the Premises.

23. No Merger.

Lessee agrees that there shall be no merger of this Lease or of any sublease under this Lease or of any leasehold or subleasehold estate hereby or thereby created with the fee or any other estate or ownership interest in the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the fact that the same entity may acquire or own or hold, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or any sublease or any leasehold or subleasehold estate created hereby or thereby or any interest in this Lease or any such sublease or in any such leasehold or subleasehold estate and (b) the fee estate or other estate or ownership interest in the Premises or any part thereof.

24. Surrender.

(b) Lessee shall remove from the Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all property which is not the property of Lessor, and shall repair any damage caused by such removal.

(c) All fixed assets installed by Lessee after the date first written above remain the properly of Lessee, upon termination, provided the same are removed by Lessee in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 24.

-21-

(d) Except for surrender upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, no surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Premises shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor.

25. Separability.

If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

26. Signs.

Lessor shall not, at any time without Lessee’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), place on or about the Premises any signs, including “For Sale” signs except for signs identifying the Sheriff’s Offices or related to the activities conducted therein. Lessee shall have the right to place, construct and maintain on the Premises one or more signs identifying Lessee, any assignee or sublessee and advertising any business located at the Premises that is permitted under this Lease, subject to compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements.

27. Recording.

Lessor and Lessee will execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be recorded in the manner and place required or permitted by any present or future law, a memorandum hereof, and all other instruments, including financing statements, continuation statements, releases and instruments of similar character, which shall be reasonably requested by Lessor or Lessee as being necessary or appropriate to protect their respective interests in the Premises.

28. Lessee’s Right Of First Refusal.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, if during the Term Lessor determines to sell, transfer, or exchange the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessor shall first notify Lessee of the terms of such transaction. If a Lessee Entity, within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s notice, indicates in writing its agreement to purchase the Premises or part of the Premises on the terms stated in Lessor’s notice, including terms of any required down payment and delivery to Lessor of such down payment, Lessor shall sell and convey the Premises or a part thereof to such Lessee Entity on the terms stated in the notice. If a Lessee Entity does not so indicate its agreement within thirty days, Lessor thereafter shall have the right to sell and convey the Premises or a part of the Premises to a third party on substantially the same material terms as stated in the notice. If Lessor does not sell and convey the Premises or part of the Premises within one hundred eighty days following the date of notice given to Lessee, any further sale shall be deemed a new determination by Lessor to sell and convey the Premises or a part of the Premises, and the provisions of this Section shall be applicable.

(b) The right of first refusal set forth in this Article shall not apply to any foreclosure sale or any transfer of the Premises by deed in lieu of foreclosure. All

-22-

indebtedness of Lessor to Lessor’s Mortgagee shall be paid in full to Lessor’s Mortgagee or assumed by the purchaser from Lessor in connection with any sale of the Premises or any part thereof.

29. Time is of the Essence.

Time is of the essence of this Lease and of the performance of each provision hereof.

30. Miscellaneous.

This Lease may not be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No failure, delay, forbearance or indulgence in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, or as an acquiescence in any breach, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. This Lease and the rights and obligations in respect hereof shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.
