Acquisition Companies, the Target Companies or the holders of the Constituent
Capital Stock (as defined herein):
3
8
(a) Cancellation of Certain Shares, Indebtedness and Agreements. As of
the Effective Time: (i) each share of Constituent Capital Stock that is owned by
any of the parties hereto or their Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 8.03)
(except for any shares of Prison Realty Stock (as defined in Section 3.01(c)
herein) owned by the Acquisition Companies which are to be delivered as the CCA
Merger Consideration, the PMSI Merger Consideration or the JJFMSI Merger
Consideration) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to
exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; (ii) any
indebtedness between any of the parties hereto shall be canceled and shall cease
to exist and no consideration shall be delivered therefor; and (iii) all
agreements between any of the parties hereto shall be canceled and shall cease
to exist. For purposes hereof, the term "Constituent Capital Stock" means
collectively the Prison Realty Stock, the CCA Common Stock, the PMSI Common
Stock and the JJFMSI Common Stock.
(b) Conversion of CCA Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, each
issued and outstanding share of CCA Common Stock (other than shares canceled
pursuant to subparagraph (a) above) shall be converted into the right to receive
that number of shares of Prison Realty Common Stock (collectively, the "CCA
Merger Consideration") determined by: (i) multiplying $20 million by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of CCA Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are not to be canceled
pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, and the denominator of which shall be the
total number of shares of CCA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, inclusive of shares which are to be canceled pursuant to
subparagraph (a) above; (ii) dividing the amount determined under clause (i) by
the Prison Realty Closing Price (as herein defined); and (iii) dividing the
amount determined under clause (ii) by the total number of shares of CCA Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are not to be
canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. All computations made in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall be rounded to two decimal places. As of the
Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of CCA Common Stock converted
into Prison Realty Common Stock in accordance herewith shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of CCA
Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except the
right to receive the CCA Merger Consideration, without interest thereon. Shares
of Prison Realty Common Stock that are issued in exchange for shares of CCA
Common Stock which are subject to forfeiture under the CCA Restricted Stock Plan
(as defined in Section 2.04 herein) shall become subject to the terms and
restrictions of the Prison Realty Restricted Stock Plan (as defined in Section
2.04 herein) in accordance with Section 2.04. All remaining shares of Prison
Realty Common Stock issued in the CCA Merger shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 5.13 herein). For

Common Stock, the "PMSI Common Stock") shall be canceled in accordance with
subparagraph (a) above, and each issued and outstanding share of PMSI Class A
Common Stock (other than shares canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above)
shall be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Prison
Realty Common Stock (collectively, the "PMSI Merger Consideration") determined
by: (i) dividing $1,023,000 by the Prison Realty Closing Price; and (ii)
dividing the amount determined under clause (i) by the total number of shares of
PMSI Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
which are not to be canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. All
computations made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be rounded to
two decimal places. As of the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share
of PMSI Class A Common Stock converted into Prison Realty Common Stock in
accordance herewith shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate
representing any such shares of PMSI Class A Common Stock shall cease to have
any rights with respect thereto except the right to receive the PMSI Merger
Consideration, without interest thereon. Shares of Prison Realty Common Stock

issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share,

Class A Common Stock, the "JJFMSI Common Stock") shall be canceled in accordance
with subparagraph (a) above, and each issued and outstanding share of JJFMSI
Class A Common Stock (other than shares canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a)
above) shall be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of
Prison Realty Common Stock (collectively, the "JJFMSI Merger Consideration")
determined by: (i) dividing $847,000 by the Prison Realty Closing Price; and
(ii) dividing the amount determined under clause (i) by the total number of
shares of JJFMSI Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time which are not to be canceled pursuant to subparagraph (a) above.
All computations made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be rounded
to two decimal places. As of the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding
share of JJFMSI Class A Common Stock converted into Prison Realty Common Stock
in accordance herewith shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate
representing any such shares of JJFMSI Class A Common Stock shall cease to have
any rights with respect thereto except the right to receive the JJFMSI Merger
Consideration, without interest thereon. Shares of Prison Realty Common Stock
that are issued in exchange for shares of JJFMSI Class A Common Stock which are

PMSI Certificates and JJFMSI Certificates to Prison Realty) and instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the CCA Certificates, PMSI Certificates and
JJFMSI Certificates for payment therefor.
(b) Exchange of CCA Certificates. Each holder of shares of CCA Common
Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the CCA Merger
Consideration will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to Prison Realty of a
CCA Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the
CCA Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CCA Common Stock
represented by such CCA Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such CCA
Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the
right to receive such CCA Merger Consideration.
(c) Exchange of PMSI Certificates. Each holder of shares of PMSI Common
Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the PMSI Merger
Consideration will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to Prison Realty of a
PMSI Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the

represented by such PMSI Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such PMSI
Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the
right to receive such PMSI Merger Consideration.
(d) Exchange of JJFMSI Certificates. Each holder of shares of JJFMSI
Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the JJFMSI

such JJFMSI Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all
purposes only the right to receive such JJFMSI Merger Consideration.
(e) Form of Certain Transfers. If any portion of the CCA Merger
Consideration, PMSI Merger Consideration or JJFMSI Merger Consideration is to be
paid to a person (as defined in Section 8.03 herein) other than the person in
whose name a CCA Certificate, PMSI
6
11
Certificate or JJFMSI Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such
payment that the CCA Certificate, PMSI Certificate or JJFMSI Certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for
transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall pay to Prison Realty
any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a person
other than the registered holder of such CCA Certificate, PMSI Certificate or
JJFMSI Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Prison Realty that such
tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f) Transfers After the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there
shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of CCA Common Stock,
PMSI Common Stock or JJFMSI Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, CCA
Certificates, PMSI Certificates or JJFMSI Certificates are presented to Prison
Realty or the Surviving Companies, they shall be canceled and promptly exchanged
for the consideration provided for, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in this Article.
(g) Unclaimed Shares. Neither Prison Realty nor any of the Surviving
Companies shall be liable to any holder of CCA Common Stock, PMSI Common Stock
or JJFMSI Common Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to
applicable abandoned property laws.
(h) Dividends. No dividends, interest or other distributions with
respect to securities of Prison Realty constituting part of the CCA Merger
Consideration, PMSI Merger Consideration or JJFMSI Merger Consideration shall be
paid to the holder of any unsurrendered CCA Certificates, PMSI Certificates or
JJFMSI Certificates until such CCA Certificates, PMSI Certificates or JJFMSI
Certificates are surrendered as provided in this Section. Upon such surrender,
there shall be paid, without interest, to the person in whose name the
securities of Prison Realty have been registered, all dividends, interest and
other distributions payable in respect of such securities on a date subsequent
to, and in respect of a record date after, the Effective Time.
SECTION 2.03 Qualified Plans. As of the Effective Time, Prison Realty
shall adopt the Corrections Corporation of America 401(k) Savings and Retirement
Plan (the "CCA 401(k) Plan"), and shall cause benefits under the Prison Realty
401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Prison Realty 401(k) Plan") to cease to
accrue, but shall not cause the Prison Realty 401(k) Plan to be terminated. As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Prison Realty 401(k) Plan and
the CCA Prison Realty Trust Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the
"Prison Realty ESOP")(the benefits under which ceased to accrue as of December
31, 1998) shall be merged into the CCA 401(k) Plan. Prior to the Effective Time,
Prison Realty and the Target Companies shall take all actions (including, if
appropriate, amending the terms of the CCA 401(k) Plan, the Prison Realty 401(k)
Plan and the Prison Realty ESOP) that are necessary to give effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Section.
SECTION 2.04 Restricted Stock Plans. As of the Effective Time, each of
the Correctional Management Services Corporation 1998 Restricted Stock Plan (the
"CCA
7
12
Restricted Stock Plan"), the Prison Management Services, Inc. 1998 Restricted
Stock Plan (the "PMSI Restricted Stock Plan"), and the Juvenile and Jail
Facility Management Services, Inc. 1998 Restricted Stock Plan (the "JJFMSI
Restricted Stock Plan" and collectively with the CCA Restricted Stock Plan and
the PMSI Restricted Stock Plan, the "Target Companies' Restricted Stock Plans")
shall be merged into a single restricted stock plan (the "Prison Realty
Restricted Stock Plan") with terms and conditions similar to those of the Target
Companies' Restricted Stock Plans, except that any shares forfeited under the
new restricted stock plan shall be forfeited to all plan participants. Prison
Realty, the Acquisition Companies and the Target Companies shall take all
actions that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by
this Section.
SECTION 2.05 Warrants to Purchase CCA Common Stock. At the Effective
Time, each warrant to purchase shares of CCA Common Stock (the "CCA Warrants"),
whether or not exercisable, shall be deemed to constitute a warrant to acquire,
on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the
original warrant to which it relates (a "Substitute Warrant"), the same number
of shares of Prison Realty Common Stock as the holder of such warrant would have
been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such
CCA Warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per
share of Prison Realty Common Stock computed in compliance with the terms of
such CCA Warrant; provided, however, that the number of shares of Prison Realty
Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Substitute Warrant
shall not include any fractional share. Prior to the Effective Time, CCA will
use its best efforts to obtain such consents, if any, as may be necessary to
give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section. In addition, prior
to the Effective Time, CCA will use its best efforts to make any amendments to
the terms of the CCA Warrants that are necessary to give effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Section. Except as contemplated by this
Section, CCA will not, after the date hereof, without the written consent of
Prison Realty, amend any outstanding CCA Warrants. Prison Realty, the
Acquisition Companies and the Target Companies shall take all actions that are
necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section,
including without limitation such actions, if any, as are described in the CCA
Warrants.
SECTION 2.06 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Prison Realty
Common Stock shall be issued to shareholders of CCA, PMSI or JJFMSI in
connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of CCA
Common Stock, PMSI Common Stock or JJFMSI Common Stock otherwise entitled to
receive as a result of the Merger a fractional share of Prison Realty Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest), rounded to
the nearest cent, representing such holder's proportionate interest in the net
proceeds resulting from the sale (after deduction of all expenses resulting from
such sale) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") through one or more of its
member firms of the fractional shares of Prison Realty Common Stock all holders
of shares of CCA Common Stock, PMSI Common Stock or JJFMSI Common Stock would
otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger.

13
SECTION 2.07 Lost Certificates. If any CCA Certificate, PMSI
Certificate or JJFMSI Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such CCA
Certificate, PMSI Certificate or JJFMSI Certificate to be lost, stolen or
destroyed and, if required by the respective Surviving Company, the posting by
such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the respective Surviving
Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such CCA Certificate, PMSI Certificate or JJFMSI Certificate,
Prison Realty (or its duly appointed transfer agent) will issue in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed CCA Certificate, PMSI Certificate or JJFMSI
Certificate the CCA Merger Consideration, PMSI Merger Consideration or JJFMSI
Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares represented by such CCA
Certificates, PMSI Certificates or JJFMSI Certificates as contemplated by this
Article.

(l) Properties.
(i) Prison Realty Real Property. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Prison Realty Permitted Liens" means (a) mechanics', carriers',
workers', repairers', materialmen's, warehousemen's and other similar Liens
arising or incurred in the ordinary course of business for
17
22
sums not yet due and payable and such Liens as are being contested by Prison
Realty in good faith, (b) Liens for current Taxes not yet due or payable, (c)
any covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, rights, Liens, easements,
encumbrances, encroachments and other matters affecting title which are shown as

or reports which have been made available to the Target Companies, and (d) any
other covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, rights, non-monetary
Liens, easements, encumbrances, encroachments and other matters affecting title
which would not individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have
a material adverse effect. "Prison Realty Leases" means the real property
leases, subleases, licenses and use or occupancy agreements pursuant to which
Prison Realty or any of its Subsidiaries is the lessee, sublessee, licensee,
user or occupant of real property other than the Prison Realty Owned Real
Property, or interests therein necessary for the conduct of, or otherwise
material to, the business of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries as it is
currently conducted. "Prison Realty Leased Real Property" means all interests in
real property pursuant to the Prison Realty Leases. "Prison Realty Owned Real
Property" means the real property owned in fee by Prison Realty and its
Subsidiaries necessary for the conduct of, or otherwise material to, the
business of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries as it is currently conducted.
"Prison Realty Real Property" means, collectively, the Prison Realty Owned Real
Property and the Prison Realty Leased Real Property. The Prison Realty Filed SEC
Documents describe all material Prison Realty Real Property. Except as disclosed
therein, or in the title insurance policies relating to the Prison Realty Real
Property or in the Prison Realty Disclosure Schedule, each of Prison Realty and
its Subsidiaries has good, valid and marketable title to the Prison Realty Real
Property free of all Liens, in each case except Prison Realty Permitted Liens.
Except as set forth in Section 3.01(l)(i) of the Prison Realty Disclosure

Realty Real Property, except those contracts relating to Prison Realty Real
Property the value in respect of which does not exceed $5,000,000 individually
or $15,000,000 in the aggregate. Except for such exceptions as would not, in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect, (a) each Prison Realty Lease is valid
and binding upon Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries and in full force and effect
and grants the lessee under the Prison Realty Lease the exclusive right to use
and occupy the premises, and (b) either Prison Realty or its Subsidiaries has
good and valid title to the leasehold estate or other interest created under the
Prison Realty Leases. No non-monetary defaults exist under the Prison Realty
Leases which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse
effect. The use and operation of the Prison Realty Real Property in the conduct
of the business of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries does not violate any
instrument of record or agreement affecting the Prison Realty Real Property,
except for such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. Valid policies of
title insurance have been issued insuring Prison Realty's or, if applicable, its
Subsidiary's, fee simple title to the Prison Realty Owned Real Property owned by
it, subject only to Prison Realty Permitted Liens, except where the failure of
such policies to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected,
in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect. To the best knowledge of
Prison Realty, such policies are, at the date hereof, in full force and effect,
except where the failure to have such valid policies of title insurance would
not reasonably be expected, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect.
To the best
18
23
knowledge of Prison Realty, no material claim has been made against any such
policy. Except as provided in Schedule 3.01(l) of the Prison Realty Disclosure
Schedule, Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries have no knowledge (a) that any
certificate, permit or license from any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction
over any of the Prison Realty Real Property or any agreement, easement or other
right which is necessary to permit the lawful use and operation of the buildings
and improvements on any of the Prison Realty Real Property or which is necessary
to permit the lawful use and operation of all driveways, roads and other means
of egress and ingress to and from any of the Prison Realty Real Property has not
been obtained and is not in full force and effect, or of any pending threat of
modification or cancellation of any of the same which would have a material
adverse effect, (b) of any written notice of any violation of any federal, state
or municipal law, ordinance, order, regulation or requirement having a material
adverse effect issued by any Governmental Entity, (c) of any structural defects
relating to any Prison Realty Real Property which would have a material adverse
effect, (d) of any Prison Realty Real Property whose building systems are not in

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

Improvements (as defined herein) being constructed or under development and
located on any Prison Realty Real Property as set forth in the Prison Realty
Disclosure Schedule, to the knowledge of Prison Realty: (a) the budget for the

to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or knowingly
facilitate the submission of any alternative proposal or (ii) enter into or
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any
person any information with respect to, any alternative proposal; provided,
however, that prior to the receipt of the Prison Realty Stockholder Approval,
Prison Realty may, in response to a bona fide alternative proposal that
constitutes a superior proposal (as defined in Section 4.06(b) herein) and that
was made after the date hereof (and not solicited by Prison Realty after the
date hereof) by any person, and subject to compliance with Section 4.06(c)
herein, (A) furnish information with respect to Prison Realty and its
Subsidiaries to such person and its representatives pursuant to a customary
confidentiality agreement and discuss such information with such person and its
representatives and (B) participate in negotiations regarding such alternative
proposal. For purposes of this Section 4.06, the term "alternative proposal"
means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person relating to any direct
69
74
or indirect acquisition or purchase of 10% or more of the assets (based on the
fair market value thereof) of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or of 10% or
more of any class of equity securities of Prison Realty or any of its
Subsidiaries or any tender offer or exchange offer (including by Prison Realty
or any of its Subsidiaries) that if consummated would result in any person
beneficially owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of Prison
Realty or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, business
combination, sale of substantially all assets, recapitalization, liquidation,
dissolution or similar transaction involving Prison Realty or any of its
Subsidiaries other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
transactions involving the original issuance of any debt or equity securities by
Prison Realty pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase

(b) Except as set forth in this Section 4.06, the Board of Directors of

or modify, in a manner adverse to the Target Companies, the approval or
recommendation by such Board of Directors of the Merger or this Agreement, (ii)
approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any
alternative proposal or (iii) cause or agree to cause Prison Realty to enter

days after receipt by each of the Target Companies of written notice advising

a superior proposal if it continues to be a superior proposal at the end of such
five business day period. For purposes of this Section 4.06, the term "superior

consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than 10% of the shares
of capital stock of Prison Realty then outstanding or all or substantially all
the assets of Prison Realty and its Subsidiaries and otherwise on terms which
the Board of Directors of Prison Realty determines in good faith (after
consultation with its financial advisor) to be more favorable to Prison Realty's
stockholders than the Merger and the issuance of securities pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement and for which financing, to the extent required,
is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of such Board of
Directors, is reasonably capable of being financed by such third party.
(c) In addition to the obligations of Prison Realty set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Prison Realty promptly shall advise each Target
Company orally and in writing of any request for information or of any
alternative proposal, the material terms and conditions of such
70
75
request or alternative proposal and the identity of the person making any such
request or alternative proposal and any determination by the Board of Directors
of Prison Realty that a alternative proposal is or may be a superior proposal.
Prison Realty will keep each Target Company informed as to the status and
material details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such
request or alternative proposal.
SECTION 4.07 No Solicitation by Target Companies. Without the prior
written consent of Prison Realty, (a) each Target Company shall not, nor shall
it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any

advisor or representative of, the Target Company or any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or knowingly facilitate
the submission of any alternative proposal or (ii) enter into or participate in
any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any
information with respect to, any alternative proposal. For purposes of this
Section 4.07, the term "alternative proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or
offer from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase
of 10% or more of the assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of any
Target Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or of 10% or more of any class of
equity securities of any Target Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any tender
offer or exchange offer (including by any Target Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning
10% or more of any class of equity securities of any Target Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of
substantially all assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar
transaction involving any Target Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Except as set forth in this Section 4.07, the Board of Directors of
the Target Company shall not (i) withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to
withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Prison Realty, the approval or
recommendation by such Board of Directors of the Merger or this Agreement, (ii)
approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any
alternative proposal or (iii) cause or agree to cause the Target Company to

Realty orally and in writing of any request for information or of any
alternative proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or
alternative proposal and the identity of the person making any such request or
alternative proposal and any determination by the Board of Directors of the

(a) Prison Realty, the Acquisition Companies, CCA, PMSI and JJFMSI agree

rights thereunder of any such Indemnified Persons. The parties hereto agree that
Prison Realty shall maintain, for a period of six years from the Effective Time,
each parties' current directors' and officers' insurance and indemnification
policy to the extent that it provides coverage for events occurring at or prior

insurer substantially comparable to the insurer with respect to the existing D&O
Insurance, so long as the terms thereof are no less advantageous to the
Indemnified Parties than the existing D&O Insurance. If the existing D&O
Insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period, Prison
Realty will use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be obtained as much D&O
Insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period on terms and
conditions no less advantageous in any material respect than the existing D&O
Insurance.

indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or
otherwise.

of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other
person and is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such
consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of
its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper
