CMSC in its ordinary course of business;
WHEREAS, the Company may from time to time construct additional
correctional and detention facilities ("New Facilities"), which it may lease to

facilities. CMSC shall make such capital or other expenditures and take
such other actions as the Company deems necessary or desirable to carry
out the performance of such services.
