Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On April 25, 1995, Corrections Corporation of America (the "Company") entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among the Company, Concept Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Concept"), and all 12 of Concept's stockholders (the "Concept Stockholders"). The share exchange (the "Share Exchange") contemplated by the Agreement was consummated on the same day. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired from the Concept Stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Concept Common Stock, $10.00 par value per share (the "Concept Shares"). In consideration of the transfer of the Concept Shares, the Company paid the Concept Stockholders 1,362,496 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "CCA Shares"). Ninety percent (90%) or 1,226,246 of the CCA Shares were distributed, pro rata, to the Concept Stockholders at the Closing. The remaining ten percent (10%) or 136,250 of the CCA Shares were delivered to First Union National Bank of Tennessee, Escrow Agent, to be held in a post-closing escrow. At the Closing, the Company received letters from Arthur Andersen LLP and KPMG Peat Marwick dated as of April 25, 1995, to the effect that the Share Exchange may be treated by the Company as a "pooling of interests" for accounting purposes. The CCA Shares issued to the 12 Concept Stockholders in the Share Exchange were not registered under applicable securities laws, and accordingly must be held by the Concept Stockholders for the requisite holding period. Section 4.5 of the Agreement provides the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register up to 420,000 of the CCA Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-3 in an underwritten public offering, and to register or qualify such shares under applicable state laws, all within 120 days after the closing date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to effect such a registration with respect to any CCA Shares which the Concept Stockholders are able to place privately at a price of not less than $30.50 within 120 days of the closing date. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to use its reasonable efforts to assist the Concept Stockholders in locating such a private purchaser for the CCA Shares. Except as provided above, the Concept Stockholders do not have any registration rights (demand, piggyback or other) under the Agreement with respect to the CCA Shares. Concept and the Concept Stockholders made numerous representations and warranties to the Company in the Agreement. Those representations and warranties include, but are not limited to, compliance with applicable laws, financial statements, no undisclosed liability, tax matters, environmental matters and capitalization. The Concept Stockholders agreed, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Company from any loss it may suffer as a result of a breach of any of the representations and warranties. Concept is engaged in the management of prisons and other correction and detention facilities under contract with governmental agencies. Its principal operations are located in Louisville, Kentucky with an additional office in Texas. 3 Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits 1.

3 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors and Shareholders Concept Incorporated: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Concept Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Concept Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 7 10 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1994 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Concept Incorporated (the Company) operates six secure prison facilities under contract with federal, state and municipal governmental agencies. Three facilities are used for pre-parole transfers, one is an intermediate sanction facility, one is a metropolitan jail and one houses medium security inmates. Two facilities are owned, three are leased and one is owned by a partnership in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest. Four management contracts expire in August 1995, one expires in January 1996, and one expires in February 1998. Contract revenues from contracts which expire in 1995 amounted to approximately $18.4 million in 1994. Management believes these contracts will be renewed. Two additional state contracts were awarded to the Company in 1994, with scheduled facility openings in May and September of 1995. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Concept Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mineral Wells R.E. Holding Corp. and Concept Incorporated of Overton, Texas. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company owns, directly and indirectly, 49.9999% of United-Concept, Limited Partnership (UCLP), including 49.95% of United-Concept, Inc., the managing general partner of UCLP. This investment is recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements on the equity method. Contract Accounting Revenues and expenses related to contracts for facilities in operation are accounted for using the accrual method of accounting. From the date a contract is awarded until the facility is in operation, revenue and direct expenses related to the facility which would otherwise be recognized on the accrual basis are deferred and the net amount is amortized on the straight-line method over the initial contract term. Such deferred amounts do not include indirect expenses or overhead. Contract bidding costs and corporate general and administrative expenses not directly associated with particular facilities are expensed as incurred. Inventories Inventories consist of food, inmate clothing, commissary goods and office supplies. Carrying value of inventories is based on cost determined by the first-in, first-out method, which approximates market value. (Continued) 8 11 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets or increase their value are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is forty years for buildings and improvements and three to ten years for equipment and automobiles. Assets under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Income Taxes Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities are computed for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and tax rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. 2. Cash The Company maintains two operating checking accounts and an interest-bearing checking account with a single bank, as well as a demand money market account with a financial institution. Operating funds are moved back and forth among these accounts depending on availability of funds. Because one of the accounts automatically sweeps either between the interest-bearing account or the Company's line of credit with the same bank, it generally shows as overdrawn on the Company's books. At December 31, 1994, after netting the three operating accounts, a credit balance of $209,228 was reclassified to accounts payable. 3. Investment in Partnership The investment in partnership of ($479,517) at December 31, 1994, which is presented as a deferred credit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, represents the Company's contributions to capital, advances, and 50% share of cumulative net income of UCLP accounted for on the equity method, net of the $1,500,000 in payments discussed below. Mineral Wells R.E. Holding Corp. (MWREHC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, owns 49.5% of UCLP as a limited partner and .2% of UCLP as a general partner. The Company directly owns .2% of UCLP as a general partner. The Company also owns 50% of the common stock of United-Concept, Inc., which owns .2% of UCLP as the managing general partner. (Continued) 9 12 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 3. Investments in Partnership (Continued) United-Concept, Inc. has issued and outstanding 1,000 shares of common stock (of which the Company and the Company's partner in UCLP each own 500 shares) and one share of voting preferred stock, which is held by The First National Bank of Chicago under an indenture agreement related to the financing of the Eloy facility. Each share of stock, common and preferred, has one vote. The preferred stock does not participate in income distribution by United-Concept, Inc., and has a $10 liquidation value. The by-laws of United-Concept, Inc. require 100% shareholder approval of significant corporate actions, and also require an independent director. Thus, the Company is entitled to 50% of the income of UCLP, but mathematically owns less than 50% of its capital and controls less than 50% of voting decisions. The independent director effectively has veto power over the actions of UCLP's managing general partner, United-Concept, Inc. UCLP has a contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to operate the Eloy Detention Center at Eloy, Arizona. UCLP owns the facility, including furniture, fixtures and equipment and a waste water treatment plant. UCLP is the primary obligor on the debt incurred to finance the facility, which is secured by the Eloy facility real and personal property, the Eloy contract receivables, $269,000 of the Company's contract receivables from its Mineral Wells facility, and the Mineral Wells real estate. The Company and the other UCLP partners have jointly and severally guaranteed the UCLP debt, which totaled $29,860,073 at December 31, 1994. On November 16, 1993, the Company entered into an Operating Agreement with UCLP, under which the Company operates the Eloy facility. The Company is responsible for all operating expenses of the facility, including taxes, insurance and maintenance. The Company's compensation under the agreement is equal to the monthly contractual revenue less the monthly debt service payment. The Operating Agreement expires sixty (60) days after maturity, as defined, or upon thirty (30) days written notice from UCLP to the Company. Concurrent with the closing of the financing on the Eloy Detention Center in November 1993, the Company received payments totaling $448,000 from its partner in UCLP and $252,000 from an affiliate of its partner in UCLP, under terms of a Funding Agreement entered into by and between the Company and companies related to its partner in UCLP. These payments were recorded as deferred revenue during 1993, and subsequently credited to the Company's investment in UCLP during 1994. In addition, $800,000 of loan proceeds to UCLP were paid to the Company during 1994 which were credited to the Company's investment in UCLP. Of these payments, $1,100,000 is being amortized over the life of the debt on the Eloy facility due to the Company's guarantee of such debt. Such amortization amounted to $156,419 in 1994. (Continued) 10 13 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 3. Investments in Partnership (Continued) Condensed financial information of UCLP is summarized as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) Year ended December 31 Net revenue $ 1,886 Net income 401 ======== At December 31 Current assets $ 2,560 Non-current assets 29,397 -------- Total assets $ 31,957 ======== Current liabilities $ 5,789 Non-current liabilities 25,965 Partners' capital 203 -------- Total liabilities and partners' capital $ 31,957 ========
4. Investment in Option The Company and its partners in UCLP have entered into an agreement under which the Company can purchase its partners' interests in UCLP, including United-Concept, Inc., for $5,250,000 on or before September 30, 1995. As compensation to its partners to enter the option agreement, the Company waived all of its claims under the Funding Agreement for lost revenues due to reduced prisoner population during the opening of the Eloy facility. The amount of these claims was agreed by the parties to be $384,000, which has been recorded by the Company as other revenues, representing its investment in the option agreement. The Company does not have sufficient capital at this time to exercise the option and, accordingly, has written off the amount of the option as of December 31, 1994. 5. Line of Credit In 1994, the Company obtained a line of credit from a bank in the amount of $1,500,000, secured by accounts receivable and a first mortgage on real estate located in Bridgeport, Texas, having a net book value of $685,058 as of December 31, 1994. Portions of the line are also guaranteed up to $800,000 by shareholders/employees of the Company. Balances outstanding on the line bear interest at the prime rate of the bank, which was 8.5% at December 31, 1994. The line is activated when checks presented to the bank for payment exceed the balance of the operating account, and reduced when receivables are collected and deposited in the bank. The balance due on the line was $785,150 at December 31, 1994. The line expires December 2, 1995. 6. Deferred Revenue In 1994, the Company received advance commission payments, against which commissions earned are being offset. The remaining balance at December 31, 1994 was $197,640. (Continued) 11 14 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 7. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations Long-term debt and capital lease obligations consist of the following: Notes payable to United-Concept, Limited Partnership, bearing interest at 10% per annum, of which 3% per year is reimbursed to the Company by a partner, payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $19,000, due January 2000, secured by land, buildings and improvements $ 891,735 Note payable to a vendor, bearing interest at prime plus 1.75% (10.25% as of December 31, 1994), payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest of $18,723, due in December 1997, classified as currently payable due to a debt covenant violation 224,683 Various obligations under capitalized leases with a related party expiring through 1997. The net book value of the related equipment is approximately $44,630 at December 31, 1994 196,663 Notes payable to banks at interest rates ranging from 9.75% to 13%, with monthly installments of principal and interest, with varying due dates through April 1995, secured by automobiles 1,963 ----------- 1,315,044 Less current portion 460,727 $ 854,317
Scheduled repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows for the years ended December 31:
Capital leases Long-term debt 1995 $ 115,448 $ 372,015 1996 85,338 160,592 1997 38,150 177,408 1998 -- 195,985 1999 -- 212,381 ----------- ---------- 238,936 $1,118,381 =========== Less amount representing interest (42,273) ----------- Present value of minimum lease payments 196,663 Less current portion 88,712 ----------- Long-term portion of capital lease obligations $ 107,951 ===========
(Continued) 12 15 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 8. Notes Payable and Advances - Shareholders Included in current liabilities is a cash advance from a shareholder with no specified repayment terms. The balance was $50,000 at December 31, 1994. The Company is obligated under unsecured notes payable to shareholders totaling $50,000 and bearing interest at 9%. The notes are payable in annual principal amounts of $10,000, plus interest, beginning January 1995 through January 1999. 9. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is comprised of: Current: Federal $ 561,921 State 114,698 --------- 676,619 Deferred: Federal (179,820) State (30,149) (209,969) Total $ 466,650 =========
The effective tax rate of 37.9% in 1994 represents the combined statutory federal and state tax rates, because there were no significant permanent differences. The temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities primarily relate to facility start-up costs, payments from UCLP, UCLP partners and affiliates, vacation accruals and commission payments paid in advance. 10. Common Stock In 1994, shareholders received .19 share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common stock they held, and all of the Class B common stock previously issued and outstanding was retired. The Class B stock option plan, under which no options had been granted, was canceled. There are currently no stock option plans in effect for any of the Company's common stock. On July 27, 1994, the Company sold 2,949 shares of Class A common stock for cash of $29,490 and notes receivable of $332,116 to officers of the Company. The notes receivable, which were originally due on August 31, 1994, were renewed for one year and bear interest at 5.83%. At December 31, 1994 the outstanding balance of these notes is $286,436. The shares are subject to a buy-sell agreement which gives the Company a right of first refusal to buy back shares at book value, as of the buyback date. All of the Class A common stock is subject to a voting trust agreement, which gives the majority shareholder the right to vote all outstanding shares. (Continued) 13 16 CONCEPT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 11. Operating Leases The Company leases real property and equipment under noncancelable operating leases with terms of two (2) to five (5) years. The future minimum rentals under the leases at December 31, 1994, are as follows: 1995 $ 592,888 1996 184,519 1997 167,442 1998 49,226 1999 8,603 ---------- $1,002,678

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of $10.00 paid to Concept and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and the mutual terms, covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and for the purpose of stating the method, terms, and conditions of the exchange provided for herein, the mode of carrying the same into effect, the manner and basis of exchanging the Shares, and such other provisions relating to the exchange as the parties deem necessary or desirable, the parties agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, as follows: ARTICLE 1 SHARE EXCHANGE; RELATED MATTERS 1.1 Exchange of Shares. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the closing provided for in Section 1.4 (the "Closing"), the Stockholders will convey, assign, transfer and deliver to CCA, and CCA will acquire all of the Shares free and clear of all claims, 2 liens, suits, proceedings, calls, proxies, charges, options, security interests and encumbrances of any kind. Except as herein specifically set forth to the contrary, the identity, existence, certificate of authority, purposes, powers, objects, franchises, privileges, rights and immunities of Concept shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Share Exchange. The Share Exchange shall occur through a voluntary exchange by the Stockholders. After the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined) of the Share Exchange, each issued Share will automatically be deemed transferred to CCA and will thereafter represent to the Stockholders only the right to receive the Exchange Consideration as provided in Section 1.3. 1.2 Effect of Share Exchange. As a result of the Share Exchange, CCA will indirectly control, as the sole stockholder of Concept, all assets owned by Concept (collectively, the "Assets"), including, without limitation, all assets, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, reflected on Concept's balance sheet of March 31, 1995, exclusive of assets disposed of and replaced since that date in the ordinary course of business. 1.3 Exchange Consideration and Exchange Shares. (a) At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be exchanged for [65.2473] shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of CCA (the "CCA Common Stock") (the "Exchange Consideration" or the "Exchange Shares"). In no event shall the number of shares of CCA Common Stock to be delivered at the Closing exceed one million three hundred sixty-two thousand four hundred ninety-six (1,362,496) or be less than one million two hundred eighty-eight thousand five hundred sixty-two (1,288,562) shares of CCA Common Stock. (b) Ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate Exchange Shares shall be available to the Stockholders at the Closing upon receipt of stock certificates duly endorsed for transfer. A certificate evidencing the shares of CCA Common Stock constituting the remaining ten percent (10%) (the "Escrow Shares") of the aggregate Exchange Shares shall be delivered to First Union Bank of Tennessee as Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agent") to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Escrow Agreement"). (c) No fractional shares of CCA Common Stock will be issued and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Shares. 1.4 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will take place at the offices of Stokes & Bartholomew, P.A., on April 25, 1995, unless the parties hereto mutually agree upon another place or time (the "Closing Date" or the "Effective Time"). The Share Exchange and the Related Transactions will be effective upon consummation of the Closing. 1.5 Surrender and Exchange of Stock Certificates and Related Items.

No interest will be paid or accrued on any portion of the Exchange Consideration. If the Exchange Consideration is to be issued to a person other than a person in whose name the surrendered certificate for Shares is registered, it shall be a condition of issuance that the surrendered share certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such issuance shall pay to CCA any required transfer or other taxes or establish to the satisfaction of CCA that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by Concept's Board of Directors and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Concept are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Concept and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of Concept enforceable against Concept in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by principles of equity regarding the availability of remedies. 2.3 Capitalization.

The stock certificates evidencing the CCA Common Stock will bear legends setting forth the restrictions on transfers stated immediately above, and stop-transfer instructions will be delivered by CCA to CCA's stock transfer agent (First Union Bank of North Carolina) reflecting such restrictions. In no event shall the Stockholders transfer any CCA Common Stock prior to the day following the first filing by CCA with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a report on Form 10-K or 10-Q, as appropriate, that includes financial statements covering a period of at least 30 days of combined operations of Concept and CCA following the Closing Date.

If the appropriate indemnifying parties do not so elect to defend any such third party claim, CCA shall have no obligation to do so. 6.3 Time to Assert Claims.

R E C I T A L S: A. CCA, Concept and the Concept Stockholders are parties to a Share Exchange Agreement dated April 25, 1995 ("Share Exchange Agreement"), a copy of which has been delivered to Escrowee, pursuant to which (i) the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Concept (the "Concept Shares") will be exchanged for shares of the common stock of CCA, and (ii) the Stockholder Representatives (on behalf of the Concept Stockholders) have agreed to enter into this Agreement to secure certain rights of CCA with respect to indemnification by the Concept Stockholders under Section 6.1 of the Share Exchange Agreement. B. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Concept Stockholders will receive certain shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of CCA (the "CCA Stock"). C. After the execution of this Agreement, CCA will deposit certain shares of CCA Stock to be received by the Concept Stockholders with Escrowee to be held and disposed of pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. AGREEMENT: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Delivery of Shares. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Concept Stockholders have delivered stock powers or assignments signed in blank by the Concept Stockholders. CCA has delivered concurrently herewith to Escrowee for deposit into a special account ("Escrow Account") certificates evidencing 136,250 shares of CCA Stock to be delivered to the Concept Stockholders pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. Such shares represent ten (10%) percent of the aggregate Exchange Consideration delivered under the Share Exchange Agreement. The shares of CCA Stock deposited with Escrowee from time to time pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Escrowed Shares". (b) If any securities or other property, including cash dividends, are distributed or issued by CCA or others from time to time in respect of any of the shares of CCA Stock then 34 held by Escrowee pursuant to a stock dividend, exchange, split, merger, liquidating dividend, or any other type of extraordinary transaction, all of such securities or other property, and all proceeds from any of the foregoing and all rights and privileges of the holders thereof shall be immediately deposited into the Escrow Account. The term "CCA Stock" as used herein and in the Share Exchange Agreement includes all securities or other property, or dividends issued or distributed from time to time in respect of the CCA Stock. If any of the foregoing stock dividends, exchanges, splits, mergers, liquidating dividends or other extraordinary transactions occur, the shares of CCA Stock to be held or to be released by Escrowee from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof shall be adjusted accordingly. (c) Any charge against the Escrowed Shares pursuant to Section 3 shall be allocated among the Concept Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. (d) Escrowee shall hold the Escrowed Shares in the Escrow Account and transfer such shares only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) All voting rights with respect to the Escrowed Shares shall be exercisable from time to time by or on behalf of the record holders of such shares or their authorized agents. Section 2. Further Assurances. The Concept Stockholders, jointly and severally, represent, warrant, undertake and agree, from time to time, that upon the request of CCA or Escrowee, such Concept Stockholders shall prepare, execute or deliver or cause to be prepared, executed or delivered all such documents of transfer or other instruments, including, without limitation, letters of instruction and transmittal, stock powers, consents or other instruments necessary to insure that Escrowee receives and holds the Escrowed Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Section 3. Claimed Amount. (a) _________________________________ (___________) of the Escrowed Shares (the "Reserved Shares") shall be held in the Escrow Account primarily for Claims (as defined in subparagraph (b) next below) relating to the contingencies set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto in such manner as described therein. The remainder of the Escrowed Shares (the "Unreserved Shares") shall be held in the Escrow Account primarily for any and all other Claims made by CCA hereunder. Subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, the Escrowed Shares shall be held in the Escrow Account until after the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, the Expiration Date for Claims relating to the Reserved Shares shall be the expiration date of the applicable statute of limitations or the date of resolution of the contingency to which the Reserved Shares relate as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, as the case may be, as set forth on a joint certificate executed by CCA and the Stockholder Representatives and delivered to Escrowee. The Expiration Date for Claims relating 2 35 to the Unreserved Shares shall be the first anniversary of the closing date for the Share Exchange Agreement. (b) At any time (or from time to time) on or prior to an Expiration Date, CCA may give notice to Escrowee and to the Stockholder Representatives, that CCA claims all or any part of the Escrow Account in satisfaction of any claim arising under any obligation or liability of the Concept Stockholders in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Share Exchange Agreement. (Such claim is hereinafter referred to as a "Claim" and any such notice of a claim is hereinafter referred to as a "Claim Notice") The Claim Notice shall briefly set forth (i) the nature of the Claim; and (ii) the amount of the Claim (hereinafter referred to as the "Claim Amount"). Escrowee shall be under no obligation to determine the validity of any Claim by CCA hereunder. (c) Upon receipt of the Claim Notice, the Concept Stockholders, acting through the Stockholder Representatives, shall have thirty-five (35) days to deny or approve the Claim by notice in writing to the Escrowee. (d) If the Concept Stockholders, acting through the Stockholder Representatives, approve the Claim Amount or upon the expiration of such thirty-five (35) day period, if the Concept Stockholders, acting through the Stockholder Representatives, have failed to deny the Claim Notice, Escrowee shall cause the Escrow Account to be charged for the Claim Amount, and Escrowee shall pay to CCA (or to CCA's assignees or successors) CCA Stock having a fair market value equal to the Claim Amount, less the amount of payments which may previously have been received by CCA from the Concept Stockholders against such Claim of which Escrowee shall have received prior written confirmation from the Concept Stockholders and CCA and subject to the limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 6.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement, and shall release appropriate stock powers at the time of such payment. Payment of Claim Amounts relating to the Unreserved Shares shall be made first from such shares and then from the Reserved Shares to the extent the Unreserved Shares are inadequate. Payment of Claim Amounts relating to the Reserved Shares shall be paid first from the Reserved Shares and then from the Unreserved Shares to the extent the Reserved Shares are inadequate; provided, however, that the Unreserved Shares may be used to pay Claim Amounts relating to the Reserved Shares that are asserted on or before April 25, 1996. (e) For purposes of a release or distribution in satisfaction of a Claim, the CCA Stock shall be valued at $30.50 per share. (f) If, within the thirty-five (35) day period referred to in Subsection 3(c), the Concept Stockholders, acting through the Stockholder Representatives, shall dispute such Claim by written notice to Escrowee and CCA, Escrowee shall not distribute any amount from the Escrow Account with respect to such Claim until Escrowee receives notice of final resolution of the Claim. A final resolution of the Claim shall occur if (i) a written agreement is reached among CCA and the Concept Stockholders or their successors and assigns, acting through the Stockholder Representatives; or (ii) an order, decree, award or judgment is entered by an arbitrator appointed by the parties to resolve the Claim or a court of competent jurisdiction and the order, decree, 3 36 award or judgment is not appealed or appealable. Upon final resolution of the Claim, and upon receipt by Escrowee of evidence of such resolution and request for the Claim Amount by CCA, Escrowee shall pay to CCA (or any assignee or successor) from the Escrow Account, CCA Stock having a fair market value equal to the Claim Amount provided by such final resolution to be paid, less the aggregate amount of any and all payments, if any, which may previously have been received by CCA from the Concept Stockholders against such Claim of which Escrowee shall have received prior written confirmation from the Concept Stockholders, and shall release appropriate stock powers at the time of such payment. (g) The Concept Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree, represent and warrant that any CCA Stock or cash transferred to CCA or its respective assigns or successors shall no longer constitute a part of the Escrow Account or otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be owned by CCA or its respective successors and assigns legally and beneficially free and clear of any and all claims. Section 4. Distribution or Release of CCA Stock. (a) On or after April 25, 1996, upon joint certificate of CCA and the Stockholder Representatives, any remaining Unreserved Shares with respect to which Escrowee has received no Claim Notice shall be released and distributed to the Concept Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Escrowee shall retain the Reserved Shares until Escrowee receives written notice executed by CCA and the Stockholder Representatives that all unresolved or unsatisfied Claims with respect to such Reserved Shares as identified on Schedule 2 have been resolved or satisfied. Upon receipt of such written notice, the remaining Reserved Shares allocable to such contingency as set forth on Schedule 2 shall be released and distributed to the Concept Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. (b) Upon release of the balance of the Escrowed Shares, if any, and all other property in the Escrow Account, Escrowee shall be discharged from all of its obligations under this Agreement. Section 5. Costs, Charges and Fees of Escrowee. (a) Except as provided in Section 6(e) all reasonable charges billed by the Escrowee for services rendered and expenses incurred by it in performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be paid by CCA. (b) The fee to be paid to the Escrowee shall be $1,500.00, annually. Section 6. Limitations of Liability and Other Rights of Escrowee. (a) Escrowee may employ such legal counsel and other experts as it may deem necessary to retain for advice in connection with its obligations hereunder, may rely upon the 4 37 advice of such counsel or experts and may pay such counsel or experts reasonable compensation therefor. (b) Escrowee may resign by transmitting written notice thereof to (i) CCA, and (ii) the Stockholder Representatives. In the event of any such resignation, such persons to whom notice is required may appoint (by written notice to all such persons) a successor Escrowee which shall be a national banking association or trust company doing business in Nashville, Tennessee. Any successor Escrowee shall have all of the rights, obligations and immunities of Escrowee set forth herein. (c) In consideration of Escrowee's acting as Escrowee herein, it is agreed that it shall in no event be liable for the failure of any of the conditions of this Agreement or damage caused by the exercise of its discretion in any particular manner, or for any other reason, except gross negligence or willful misconduct with reference to the Escrow Account and it shall not be liable or responsible for its failure to ascertain the terms and conditions, or to comply with any of the provisions of, any agreement, contract or other document filed herewith or referred to herein, nor shall it be liable or responsible for forgeries or false personation. (d) It is further agreed that if any controversy arises between the Concept Stockholders and CCA or with any third person with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, Escrowee shall not be required to determine the same or take any action with respect thereto, but may await the settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or otherwise as it may require, anything in the instructions delivered by the parties hereto to the contrary notwithstanding, and in such event it shall not be liable for interest or damage. (e) It is understood that fees and usual charges agreed upon for Escrowee's services hereunder shall be considered compensation for its ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement, and in the event that the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled or that Escrowee renders any service hereunder not provided for in this Agreement, or that there is any assignment of any interest in the subject matter of this Agreement or modification hereof, or that any controversy arises hereunder, that Escrowee is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this Agreement, Escrowee shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation and it shall have the rights to retain all documents and other things of value at any time held by it hereunder until such compensation, fees, costs and expenses shall be paid, CCA hereby promises to pay one-half of the aforesaid sums upon demand and the Concept Stockholders hereby promise to pay one-half of the aforesaid sums upon demand. (f) It is understood that Escrowee shall at no time be obligated to invest any cash held in the Escrow Account.

45 EXHIBIT B April 25, 1995 Corrections Corporation of America 102 Woodmont Boulevard Suite 800 Nashville, Tennessee 37205 Re: Concept Incorporated Gentlemen: We have acted as special counsel to Concept Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Concept"), and D. Paul Alagia, Jr. and Marie Joyce McCarthy Alagia, husband and wife residing in the State of Kentucky (the "Alagias"), in connection with the preparation of the Share Exchange Agreement, dated April 24, 1995, among Corrections Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation ("CCA"), Concept and the stockholders of Concept signatory thereto (the "Agreement"). As such counsel, we have examined: (i) the Certificate of Incorporation and all amendments thereto of Concept, Minerals Wells R.E. Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Mineral Wells"), and Concept Incorporated - Overton, a Delaware corporation ("Overton"); (ii) the Bylaws and all amendments thereto of Concept, Mineral Wells and Overton; (iii) all relevant corporate proceedings of Concept, Mineral Wells and Overton; and (iv) a copy of the executed Agreement. We also have examined and relied upon the accuracy of original, certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies of such records, agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein. In all such examinations we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photographic or telecopied copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and (iii) that all certificates and telecopied and telephonic confirmations given by public officials have been properly 46 Corrections Corporation of America April 25, 1995 Page 2 given and are accurate. As to various questions of fact relevant to such opinions, we have relied upon the accuracy of (i) statements, representations and warranties made in the Agreement and other certificates and documents delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and (ii) certificates of public officials and officers of Concept, and we have made no independent investigation or inquiry with respect to such factual matters. In rendering the following opinions, we have further assumed, without independent investigation but with your permission, that: (a) CCA is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to enter into the Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of the Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action and proceedings on the part of CCA; (c) the Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by all parties thereto other than Concept and the Alagias and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such parties, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms; and (d) all parties to the Agreement, other than Concept, have obtained any and all consents, permits and approvals required by or from any and all Federal, state, local and foreign governmental and regulatory agencies and authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent necessary for the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Agreement. Wherever an opinion herein is qualified by the phrase "to the best of our knowledge", it is limited to the actual knowledge of the attorneys of our firm who have devoted substantive attention to legal matters referred to us by Concept. No inference as to our knowledge of any fact should be drawn from our representation of Concept. All capitalized terms used in this opinion, unless otherwise defined herein, are used with the same meaning as defined in the Agreement. Based upon such review and upon such inquiries and investigations as we have deemed necessary or relevant, we are of the opinion that: 1. Each of Concept, Mineral Wells and Overton (Mineral Wells and Overton hereinafter are referred to collectively as the "Subsidiaries") (i) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to transact its business as currently conducted. Concept and each of the Subsidiaries is duly qualified, is authorized to do business, and is in good standing in the jurisdiction specified under the heading "States Qualified" for such corporation on Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. 2. The authorized capital stock of Concept consists of 80,000 shares of common stock, $10.00 par value per share, of which, to the best of our knowledge and subject to the qualifications set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, 20,882 shares are issued and outstanding. To the best of our knowledge and subject to the qualifications set forth on Schedule 2, Schedule 2 sets forth the total number of shares owned of record by each Stockholder. To the best of our knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 2, Concept does not have any outstanding option, warrant, right, subscription or other commitment for the sale or issuance of any share of its common stock. 47 Corrections Corporation of America April 25, 1995 Page 3 3. The execution, delivery, and performance by Concept of the Agreement (i) are within the corporate power and authority of Concept; (ii) have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Concept; (iii) are not in contravention of the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Concept or any of the Subsidiaries or, to the best of our knowledge and except as set forth in Schedule 2.6 to the Agreement, any indenture, contract, lease, agreement, instrument, or other commitment to which Concept or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which either Concept or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their properties are bound; and (iv) to the best of our knowledge, do not contravene any law or regulation or any judgment, order, or decree applicable to or binding upon Concept or any of the Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we express no opinion as to whether performance by Concept of the Agreement contravenes the terms of the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated as of November 15, 1993, from Mineral Wells and Concept to Ray T. Khirallah, Trustee (the "Trustee") or the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated as of April 7, 1994 from Mineral Wells and Concept to the Trustee. 4. The Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Concept and the Alagias. The Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Concept and the Alagias enforceable against Concept and the Alagias in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws or policies underlying such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we express no opinion regarding the enforceability of any provisions in the Agreement regarding choice of law or the enforceability of the Agreement as such enforceability may be affected by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act"). For purposes of the opinions expressed in this paragraph, we have assumed, with your consent, that the internal laws of the State of Tennessee are identical in all respects to the internal laws of the State of Missouri. 5. To the best of our knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 2.6 to the Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to any court, administrative agency or commission or other state or federal governmental authority is required to be obtained or made by Concept under any contract or agreement to which Concept or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which Concept or any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their properties are bound in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we express no opinion as to whether (i) any consent is required to be obtained under the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated as of November 15, 1993, from Mineral Wells and Concept to the Trustee or the Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated as of April 7, 1994, from Mineral Wells and Concept to the Trustee or (ii) any consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to any court, administrative agency or commission or other state or federal governmental authority is required to be obtained or made by Concept or any of the Subsidiaries under any statute, rule, regulation or other law, including the HSR Act. 6. To the best of our knowledge, Concept is the record owner of all the shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries. To the best of our knowledge, no equity securities of any of the Subsidiaries 48 Corrections Corporation of America April 25, 1995 Page 4 are or may become required to be issued by reason of any option, warrant, right to subscribe to, or written agreement relating to shares of any capital stock of any Subsidiary. 7. To the best of our knowledge, Concept is not subject to any order or decree of any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or agency specifically applicable to it or any of its properties, assets, operations or business. 8. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.21 to the Agreement, to the best of our knowledge (i) there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against Concept or its properties in any court or before any governmental commission, board, or authority which, if adversely determined, would have an adverse affect on Concept and (ii) Concept is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, or demand of any court or other governmental or regulatory authority. Our opinions above are subject to the effect of generally applicable rules of law and judicial decisions which: (i) limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; (ii) may, where less than all of a contract may be unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of such contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the agreed exchange; (iii) limit or affect the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent such action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct or to the extent such release, exculpation, exemption or indemnification is against public policy or prohibited by law; (iv) limit or affect the enforceability of provisions to the effect that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of the right or remedy; (v) govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys' fees and other costs; and (vi) limit or affect the enforceability of provisions expressly or by implication waiving or releasing rights or defenses. We are qualified to practice law in the State of Missouri, and we express no opinion as to any matters of law other than the laws of the State of Missouri, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States. With the consent of Concept and the Alagias, this opinion is furnished by us at your request for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity shall be entitled to rely on this opinion without our express written consent. This opinion shall not be published or reproduced in any manner or distributed or circulated to any person or entity without our express written consent.

CONCEPT INCORPORATED By: --------------------------- Title: ------------------------ ------------------------------ D. Paul Alagia EX-3 4 PRESS RELEASE 1 CORRECTIONS CORPORATION NEWS RELEASE OF AMERICA Contact: Peggy Wilson Lawrence (615) 292-3100 CCA ACQUIRES CONCEPT INCORPORATED NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 26, 1995 - Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE:CXC) announced today it has acquired Concept Incorporated, the third largest company in the corrections industry, in a stock-for-stock transaction worth $40 million. The purchase of the privately held company expands CCA to 36 facilities and 21,487 beds under contract. In the agreement finalized yesterday, shareholders of Concept Incorporated received 1,362,496 shares of restricted CCA common stock, and the company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCA. The purchase is being accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Concept Incorporated had assets of $9.6 million at December 31, and net income for the 1994 year of $763,803 on revenues of $23.3 million. "We pursued the acquisition because of the exceptional compatibility between Concept and CCA," said Chairman and CEO Doctor R. Crants. "Their focus on quality operations and customer service mirrors CCA's philosophy, and the markets they serve conform closely with our own." Concept Incorporated currently manages six secure facilities: four for the state of Texas, one in Alabama and one for the Bureau of Prisons in Arizona, totaling 2,926 beds. Two other Concept Incorporated facilities in Texas with a combined 1,500 beds are scheduled to open during the summer of 1995. "This transaction is an exciting achievement. It dramatically increases both our revenue base and our market share," Crants continued, "and the economies of scale we except to realize 2 should expand profitability in future years. We believe the strength of the combined companies will substantially extend CCA's competitive advantage in our rapidly growing marketplace." Concept Incorporated, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Louisville, Ken., employs approximately 855 people. Plans call for Concept's facilities to continue operating with existing management and staff. By September 30 corporate functions will be consolidated in Nashville and duplicate expenses eliminated. CCA will release its first quarter earnings report tomorrow, April 27. Results will reflect CCA and its subsidiaries before the pooling of Concept Incorporated. Combined and restated financials to include Concept Incorporated will begin with the second quarter report in late July. CCA provides detention and corrections services for governmental agencies. The company is the industry leader in private-sector corrections with 21,487 beds in 36 facilities under contract in nine U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Australia and the United Kingdom. CCA's full range of services includes finance, design, construction, renovation and management of new or existing jails and prisons, as well as long-distance transportation of inmates. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
