FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, CORRECTIONS
CORPORATION OF AMERICA, a Maryland corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Issuer”), hereby certifies that

CFE, INC.

or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer, during the
period specified in this Warrant, 500,463 shares of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an initial exercise price of $3.33 per share, as
the case may be, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings specified in Section 7 hereof.

1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock represented hereby
shall commence on the date of issuance of this Warrant and shall expire at 5:00P.M., Eastern Time,
on December 31, 2008 (such period being the “Term”).

 

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment: Issuance of New Warrant, Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised
in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term.

     (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at
the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration
therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at
such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check, or (ii) by surrender to the Issuer
for cancellation of a portion of this Warrant representing that number of unissued shares of
Warrant Stock which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Price by the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such
exercise by, (B) the difference obtained by subtracting the Warrant Price from the Current Market
Price per share of Warrant Stock as of the date of such exercise, or (iii) by a combination of the
foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. In any case where the
consideration payable upon such exercise is being paid in whole or in part pursuant to the
provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 2(b), such exercise shall be accompanied by written
notice from the Holder of this Warrant specifying the manner of payment thereof and containing a
calculation showing the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which rights are being
surrendered thereunder and the net number of shares to be issued after giving effect to such
surrender.

     (c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i)
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise
and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Business Days
after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and (h) unless this Warrant
has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect
to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have
been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall
also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.

     (d) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) hereof, this
Warrant may be transferred in whole or in part on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in
person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto)
and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the
purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the
right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at
the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the
Agreement Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.

 

 

     (e) Compliance with Securities Laws.

          (i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the
shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the
Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for
investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or
any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.

          (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, all certificates representing shares of
Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:

“THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS.”

          (iii) The restrictions imposed by this Section 2(e) upon the transfer of this Warrant and the
shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such
securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, or (B) upon the
Issuer’s receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer (it being understood that in-house counsel to the Holder shall be deemed to be acceptable
counsel), addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws. Whenever such restrictions
shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than
applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new
stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by paragraph (ii)
above relating to the Securities Act and state securities laws.

     (f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof or of any shares of Warrant
Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing
obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled
after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder
shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

     (a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock
which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens
and

 

 

charges with respect to issuance. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and
reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

     (b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the
Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause
such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock
on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when
necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time
issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also
so list on each securities exchange, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which
the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the
time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer.

     (c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then
effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Charter or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative
participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect
the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be~ reasonably
necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other
than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain
all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.

4. Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions. In the event of any reasonable determination
by the Holder hereof that, by reason of any existing or future federal or state law, statute, rule,
regulation, guideline, order, court or administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful)
(collectively, a “Regulatory Requirement”), such Holder is effectively restricted or prohibited
from holding this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock (including any shares of Capital Stock or
other securities distributable to such Holder in any merger, reorganization, readjustment or other
reclassification), or otherwise realize upon or receive the benefits intended under this Warrant,
the Issuer shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have its shareholders, take such
action as such

 

 

 Holder and the Issuer shall jointly agree in good faith to be reasonably necessary
to permit such Holder to comply with such Regulatory Requirement. The reasonable costs of taking
such action, whether by the Issuer, the Holder hereof or otherwise, shall be borne by the Issuer.

5. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

          (i) In case the Issuer after the Agreement Date shall do any of the following (each a
“Triggering Event”) (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other
Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or
surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person,
or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the
case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled (x)
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent
this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is redeemed in connection with
such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to
the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had
exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments
and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments and increases provided for in Section 5 hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at such
Holder’s election, a portion hereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering
Event, or to the Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price equal to
the amount, if any, of cash, property and/or securities to which a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant would
have been entitled upon the effective date or closing of any such Triggering Event (the “Event
Consideration”), less the amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal
to the aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so sold.

          (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not
effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the
Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this
Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant
(and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall
be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer
under this Warrant) and (b) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of securities,
cash or property

 

 

as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), such Holder
shall be entitled to receive. In addition, such Person shall have similarly delivered to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person (which may be in-house counsel), which counsel shall
be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in
full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this paragraph (a)) shall be applicable to the
securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this
Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

          (iii) In case any Triggering Event shall be proposed to be effected, the Holder of this
Warrant may, and the Issuer agrees that as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering
Event the Issuer shall secure the right of such Holder to, sell this Warrant (or, at such Holder’s
election, a portion thereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or
the Issuer (if the Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person), simultaneously with the effective
date or closing of such Triggering Event, as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of this
Section 5(a). The obligation of the Issuer to secure such right of the Holder to sell this Warrant
shall be subject to such Holder’s cooperation with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the
giving of customary representations and warranties to the purchaser in connection with any such
sale. In the event that the Holder of this Warrant exercises its rights under clause (y) of
subparagraph (i) of this Section 5(a) to sell this Warrant (or a portion thereof) simultaneously
with the effective date or closing of any such Triggering Event, the Issuer shall not effect any
such Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof such amounts of cash,
property and/or securities are delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. Prior notice of any
Triggering Event shall be given to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 12 hereof
Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date for determining
holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such Triggering Event.

     (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of Common Stock, (i) in case of
subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced (as at the effective date
of such subdivision or, if the Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of so subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect the
increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision,
or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately
increased (as at the effective date of such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of
Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding as a result of such combination.

     (c) Common Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall:

          (i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution to its
stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted, as at
the date the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of the Issuer’s Capital
Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is
taken, as at

 

 

the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (or if no such record
is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or other distribution), by a fraction (1) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of
additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in
connection with said dividends); or

          (ii) Liquidating Dividends, etc. Make a distribution of its property to the Holders of
its Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital
other than as a dividend payable out of funds legally available for dividends under the laws of the
State of Tennessee, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon exercise (including, without limitation,
payment of the Warrant Price), be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, a
sum equal to the amount of such property as would have been payable to such Holder had such Holder
been the Holder of record of such Warrant Stock on the record date for such distribution or if no
such record is taken, on the date of such distribution; and appropriate provision therefor shall be
made a part of any such distribution.

     (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as
provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 5), at a price per share less
than the Current Market Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon
each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

          (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate
consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would
purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of the Current Market Price then in effect and
the Warrant Price then in effect, and

          (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an
adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5. No adjustment of the
Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalent if upon the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalent (x) any adjustment shall have been made pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section 5 or (y) no adjustment was required pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 5.

 

 

     (e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Issuer, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Common Stock Equivalent and the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock
Equivalent shall be less than the Current Market Price then in effect, or if, after any such
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended
shall be less than the Current Market Price in effect at the time of such amendment, then the
Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first
sentence of subsection (d) of this Section 5 on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to
have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of(A) the date on which the
Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B)
the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, and (2) the aggregate consideration
for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the sum of the
consideration received upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent plus the minimum consideration
received or receivable by the Issuer for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under
this subsection (e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the
exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall
previously have been made in the Warrant Price then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or
other rights pursuant to this subsection (e).

     (f) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock at a price per share
greater than the Current Market Price then in effect, then the Warrant Price upon each such
purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such
Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of
Common Stock or Other Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Current
Market Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this
subsection (1), the date as of which the Current Market Price shall be computed shall be the
earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase,
redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock or Other Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual
purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock or Other Common Stock. For the purposes of
this subsection (f), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be
deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock or Other Common Stock, and the computation
herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such
Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made,
whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on
such date.

 

 

     (g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 5. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the Warrant Price hereinbefore
provided in Section 5:

          (i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the Issuer shall be
deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common
Stock Equivalents shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration
received by the Issuer therefor, or if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price, in any such case
excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without
deduction of any compensation, discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer
for or in connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the issue
thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair market value of such consideration at the
time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board. The consideration for any
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional
consideration payable to the Issuer upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of the
Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such
dividend so paid or satisfied. In any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall
be other than cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its good faith
determination of the fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt
thereof. If, within thirty days after receipt of said notice, the Majority Holders shall notify the
Board in writing of their objection to such determination, a determination of the fair market value
of such consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the Majority Holders
with the approval of the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whose fees and
expenses shall be paid by the Issuer.

          (ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination of the right to
convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the issuance of which effected an
adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted,
exercised or exchanged in its entirety, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued
and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise
of any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be computed as set forth above, and the Warrant
Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but
reflecting any other adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the Warrant
Price been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent
and thereupon only the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued

 

 

shall be
deemed to have been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed as
in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been received by the Issuer.

          (iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall (a) not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by
or for the account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) shall be deemed to include all
outstanding shares of Other Common Stock and (c) shall be deemed to include all shares of Common
Stock and Other Common Stock then issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of any then outstanding Common Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of Indebtedness,
shares of Capital Stock or other Securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock.

     (h) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Agreement Date hereof the
Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an action described in any of
the foregoing subsections (a) through (g) of this Section 5, inclusive, and the failure to make any
adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principle of this Section 5, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted
in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.

     (i) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price
pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the
Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect to such adjustment
and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately after giving effect to such
adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in default under any provision contained in Section 3 of this
Warrant so that shares issued at the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 5 would
not be validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided for in the foregoing
sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase
such greater number of shares at the lowest price at which such shares may then be validly issued
under applicable law. Such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against the
Issuer by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.

6. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof (for purposes of this Section 6, each an “adjustment”), the
Issuer shall cause the independent accounting firm then regularly engaged by it to report on its
financial statements to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination
hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment,
and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly
after each adjustment.

 

 

7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection
with the exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash
payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price then in effect.

8. Definitions. For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following
meanings:

     “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means all shares of Common Stock and Other Common Stock
issued by the Issuer after the Agreement Date, except the Warrant Stock.

     “Agreement Date” means December 28, 2000.

     “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

     “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday in New York City.

     “Capital Stock” means and includes (i) any and all shares, interests, participating or other
equivalents of or interests in (however designated) corporate stock, including, without limitation,

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, CORRECTIONS
CORPORATION OF AMERICA, a Maryland corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Issuer”), hereby certifies that

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.

or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer, during the
period specified in this Warrant, 250,232 shares of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an initial exercise price of $3.33 per share, as
the case may be, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings specified in Section 7 hereof.

1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock represented hereby
shall commence on the date of issuance of this Warrant and shall expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time,
on December 31, 2008 (such period being the “Term”).

 

 

2. Method of Exercise; Payment: Issuance of New Warrant, Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised
in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Term.

     (b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at
the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration
therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at
such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check, or (ii) by surrender to the Issuer
for cancellation of a portion of this Warrant representing that number of unissued shares of
Warrant Stock which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Price by the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such
exercise by, (B) the difference obtained by subtracting the Warrant Price from the Current Market
Price per share of Warrant Stock as of the date of such exercise, or (iii) by a combination of the
foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. In any case where the
consideration payable upon such exercise is being paid in whole or in part pursuant to the
provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 2(b), such exercise shall be accompanied by written
notice from the Holder of this Warrant specifying the manner of payment thereof and containing a
calculation showing the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which rights are being
surrendered thereunder and the net number of shares to be issued after giving effect to such
surrender.

     (c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i)
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise
and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Business Days
after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and (h) unless this Warrant
has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect
to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have
been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall
also be issued to the Holder hereof within such time.

     (d) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) hereof, this
Warrant may be transferred in whole or in part on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in
person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto)
and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the
purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the
right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at
the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the
Agreement Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.

 

 

     (e) Compliance with Securities Laws.

          (i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the
shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the
Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for
investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or
any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.

          (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, all certificates representing shares of
Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:

“THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS.”

          (iii) The restrictions imposed by this Section 2(e) upon the transfer of this Warrant and the
shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such
securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, or (B) upon the Issuers
receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer (it
being understood that in-house counsel to the Holder shall be deemed to be acceptable counsel),
addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure
compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws. Whenever such restrictions shall
cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from
the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer
taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates)
of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the
Securities Act and state securities laws.

     (f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof or of any shares of Warrant
Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing
obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled
after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder
shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

     (a) The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock
which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens
and

 

 

charges with respect to issuance. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and
reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

     (b) If any shares of the Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the
Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause
such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock
on any securities exchange it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when
necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time
issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also
so list on each securities exchange, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which
the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the
time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange by the Issuer.

     (c) The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then
effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Charter or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers, preferences or relative
participating, optional or other special rights of the Common Stock or which would adversely affect
the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably
necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other
than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain
all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.

4. Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions. In the event of any reasonable determination
by the Holder hereof that, by reason of any existing or future federal or state law, statute, rule,
regulation, guideline, order, court or administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful)
(collectively, a “Regulatory Requirement”), such Holder is effectively restricted or prohibited
from holding this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock (including any shares of Capital Stock or
other securities distributable to such Holder in any merger, reorganization, readjustment or other
reclassification), or otherwise realize upon or receive the benefits intended under this Warrant,
the Issuer shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have its shareholders, take such
action as such

 

 

Holder and the Issuer shall jointly agree in good faith to be reasonably necessary
to permit such Holder to comply with such Regulatory Requirement. The reasonable costs of taking
such action, whether by the Issuer, the Holder hereof or otherwise, shall be borne by the Issuer.

5. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

     (a) Recapitalization, Reorganization. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

          (i) In case the Issuer after the Agreement Date shall do any of the following (each a
“Triggering Event”) (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other
Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or
surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person,
or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the
case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled (x)
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent
this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is redeemed in connection with
such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to
the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had
exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments
and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments and increases provided for in Section 5 hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at such
Holder’s election, a portion hereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering
Event, or to the Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price equal to
the amount, if any, of cash, property and/or securities to which a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant would
have been entitled upon the effective date or closing of any such Triggering Event (the “Event
Consideration”), less the amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal
to the aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so sold.

          (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not
effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the
Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this
Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant
(and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall
be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer
under this Warrant) and (b) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of securities,
cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), such Holder
shall be entitled to receive. In addition, such Person shall have similarly delivered to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person (which may be in-house counsel), which counsel shall
be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in
full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this paragraph (a)) shall be applicable to the
securities, cash or property

 

 

which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this
Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

          (iii) In case any Triggering Event shall be proposed to be effected, the Holder of this
Warrant may, and the Issuer agrees that as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering
Event the Issuer shall secure the right of such Holder to, sell this Warrant (or, at such Holder’s
election, a portion thereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or
the Issuer (if the Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person), simultaneously with the effective
date or closing of such Triggering Event, as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of this
Section 5(a). The obligation of the Issuer to secure such right of the Holder to sell this Warrant
shall be subject to such Holder’s cooperation with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the
giving of customary representations and warranties to the purchaser in connection with any such
sale. In the event that the Holder of this Warrant exercises its rights under clause (y) of
subparagraph (i) of this Section 5(a) to sell this Warrant (or a portion thereof) simultaneously
with the effective date or closing of any such Triggering Event, the Issuer shall not effect any
such Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof such amounts of cash,
property and/or securities are delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. Prior notice of any
Triggering Event shall be given to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 12 hereof.
Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date for determining
holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such Triggering Event.

     (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of Common Stock, (i) in case of
subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced (as at the effective date
of such subdivision or, if the Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of so subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect the
increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision,
or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately
increased (as at the effective date of such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of
Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding as a result of such combination.

     (c) Common Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall:

          (i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution to its
stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted, as at the date the Issuer shall take a record of the Holders of the Issuer’s Capital
Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is
taken, as at

 

 

the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date (or if no such record
is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or other distribution), by a fraction (1) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of
additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in
connection with said dividends); or

          (ii) Liquidating Dividends, etc. Make a distribution of its property to the Holders of
its Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital
other than as a dividend payable out of funds legally available for dividends under the laws of the
State of Tennessee, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon exercise (including, without limitation,
payment of the Warrant Price), be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, a
sum equal to the amount of such property as would have been payable to such Holder had such Holder
been the Holder of record of such Warrant Stock on the record date for such distribution or if no
such record is taken, on the date of such distribution; and appropriate provision therefor shall be
made a part of any such distribution.

     (d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as
provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 5), at a price per share less
than the Current Market Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon
each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

          (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate
consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would
purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of the Current Market Price then in effect and
the Warrant Price then in effect, and

          (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an
adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5. No adjustment of the
Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalent if upon the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalent (x) any adjustment shall have been made pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section 5 or (y) no adjustment was required pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 5.

 

 

     (e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Issuer, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Common Stock Equivalent and the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock
Equivalent shall be less than the Current Market Price then in effect, or if, after any such
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended
shall be less than the Current Market Price in effect at the time of such amendment, then the
Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first
sentence of subsection (d) of this Section 5 on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to
have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the
Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B)
the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, and (2) the aggregate consideration
for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the sum of the
consideration received upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent plus the minimum consideration
received or receivable by the Issuer for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under
this subsection (e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the
exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall
previously have been made in the Warrant Price then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or
other rights pursuant to this subsection (e).

     (f) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock at a price per share
greater than the Current Market Price then in effect, then the Warrant Price upon each such
purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such
Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of
Common Stock or Other Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Current
Market Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this
subsection (f), the date as of which the Current Market Price shall be computed shall be the
earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the purchase,
redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock or Other Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual
purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock or Other Common Stock. For the purposes of
this subsection (f), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be
deemed to be a purchase of the underlying Common Stock or Other Common Stock, and the computation
herein required shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such
Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made,
whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on
such date.

 

 

     (g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 5. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the Warrant Price hereinbefore
provided in Section 5:

          (i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the Issuer shall be
deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common
Stock Equivalents shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration
received by the Issuer therefor, or if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers
for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price, in any such case
excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without
deduction of any compensation, discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer
for or in connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the issue
thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair market value of such consideration at the
time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board. The consideration for any
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional
consideration payable to the Issuer upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of the
Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such
dividend so paid or satisfied. In any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall
be other than cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its good faith
determination of the fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt
thereof. If, within thirty days after receipt of said notice, the Majority Holders shall notify the
Board in writing of their objection to such determination, a determination of the fair market value
of such consideration shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the Majority Holders
with the approval of the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whose fees and
expenses shall be paid by the Issuer.

          (ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination of the right to
convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the issuance of which effected an
adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted,
exercised or exchanged in its entirety, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued
and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise
of any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be computed as set forth above, and the Warrant
Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but
reflecting any other adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the Warrant
Price been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent
and thereupon only the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued

 

 

shall be deemed to have been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed as
in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been received by the Issuer.

          (iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall (a) not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by
or for the account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) shall be deemed to include all
outstanding shares of Other Common Stock and (c) shall be deemed to include all shares of Common
Stock and Other Common Stock then issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of any then outstanding Common Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of Indebtedness,
shares of Capital Stock or other Securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock.

     (h) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Agreement Date hereof the
Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an action described in any of
the foregoing subsections (a) through (g) of this Section 5, inclusive, and the failure to make any
adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principle of this Section 5, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted
in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.

     (i) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price
pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the
Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect to such adjustment
and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately after giving effect to such
adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in default under any provision contained in Section 3 of this
Warrant so that shares issued at the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 5 would
not be validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided for in the foregoing
sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase
such greater number of shares at the lowest price at which such shares may then be validly issued
under applicable law. Such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against the
Issuer by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.

6. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof (for purposes of this Section 6, each an “adjustment”), the
Issuer shall cause the independent accounting firm then regularly engaged by it to report on its
financial statements to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination
hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment,
and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly
after each adjustment.

 

 

7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection
with the exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash
payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price then in effect.
