Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;18, 2009, after consideration of presentations and recommendations of management
and independent compensation consultants, and such other matters and information as deemed
appropriate, the Compensation Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of the Board of Directors of Corrections
Corporation of America (the &#147;Company&#148;) approved resolutions with respect to the following actions:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>2009 Cash Incentive Plan</I>. The Company&#146;s 2009 Cash Incentive Plan is intended to provide
incentives to members of management, including the Company&#146;s named executive officers, in the form
of cash bonus payments for achieving certain performance goals established by the Committee
consistent with a three year growth rate plan. The performance awards will be based upon the
Company&#146;s achievement of previously established earnings per share (&#147;EPS&#148;) goals for the fiscal
year ending December&nbsp;31, 2009. Actual awards can range from zero to a maximum of 200% of such
participant&#146;s base salary. The Committee will administer and make all determinations under the
2009 Cash Incentive Plan. The Committee reserves discretion to make adjustments to the EPS figure
used for bonus calculation purposes for limited non-operating events outside the ordinary course.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Award Agreements</I>. The Committee approved a new form of restricted stock unit award agreement
under the Company&#146;s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;2008 Plan&#148;), the material terms of which are
discussed below. The Committee also approved an amended form of executive option award agreement
under the 2008 Plan in order to add a net exercise provision with respect to the payment of
exercise price and withholding taxes. The new forms are attached hereto as <U>Exhibits 10.1</U>
and <U>10.2</U> and are incorporated herein by reference.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Restricted Stock Units and Stock Option Awards to Certain Executive Officers. </I>Restricted
stock units and non-qualified options for the purchase of the Company&#146;s common stock were granted
to the persons who are anticipated to constitute the named executive officers of the Company for
2009 as well as Damon T. Hininger, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to
the Company&#146;s 2008 Plan, as follows:

the Company to award Restricted Stock Units with respect to its common stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;), to key employees of the Company and/or its affiliates; and

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;<U>Definitions</U>. Except as provided in this Agreement (or an election form executed
pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 of this Agreement), or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms used
herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;<U>Award of RSUs</U>. Upon and subject to the terms, restrictions, limitations and
conditions stated herein, the Company hereby grants an award (the &#147;RSU Award&#148;) to Recipient of <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>
Restricted Stock Units (&#147;RSUs&#148;).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;The RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or
disposed of by Recipient. Any attempted sale, assignment, or transfer of the RSUs shall be void
and of no effect, and the Company shall have the right to disregard the same on its books and
records. Within thirty (30)&nbsp;days (with the date of payment selected by the Company in its sole
discretion) after the vesting of any of the RSUs in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(ii) of this
Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Recipient one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU
(subject to the Recipient&#146;s election of a deferred payment date pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 of this
Agreement).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;Except as further provided in this Section&nbsp;3(ii) or in the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in
accordance with Schedule&nbsp;A attached hereto and made a part hereof, provided that Recipient is
employed by the Company or an Affiliate Corporation (the &#147;Employer&#148;) at all times following the
Date of Award and prior to and on the Vesting Dates (the &#147;Vesting Period&#148;). If, at any time during

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">any reason other than as a result of the death, Disability or Retirement of Recipient, all of
the unvested RSUs held by such Recipient shall immediately and automatically be forfeited to the
Company without monetary consideration and shall be automatically canceled. If (i)&nbsp;Recipient shall
die while in the employ or service of the Employer, (ii)&nbsp;Recipient&#146;s employment or service with the
Employer shall terminate by reason of Disability, or (iii)&nbsp;there occurs a Change in Control, then
in any such case all the RSUs shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable (to the extent not
previously forfeited). If the Recipient&#146;s employment is terminated as a result of Retirement on or
after December&nbsp;31 in any fiscal year, but prior to the Vesting Date in such immediately following
fiscal year (as such term is defined in Schedule&nbsp;A), then the applicable portion of the RSUs, if
any, shall vest on the Vesting Date in the manner set forth in Schedule&nbsp;A despite the fact that the
Recipient is no longer an employee of the Company on such Vesting Date. For purposes of clarity,
any RSUs for which the performance period (as described in Schedule&nbsp;A) ends following the
Recipient&#146;s Retirement shall be forfeited.

RSUs at the time of any payment of dividends on shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
set forth in the Plan and as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion.

connection therewith shall be subject to, and the Company and Recipient agree to be bound by, all
of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same shall be amended from time to time in
accordance with the terms thereof. A copy of the Plan, as amended, is attached hereto as
<U>Exhibit&nbsp;A</U> and made a part hereof as if fully set out herein.

Recipient may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the
RSUs upon the termination of the Vesting Period until such times as are approved by the Committee
and are set forth in the Recipient&#146;s applicable deferral election form. All deferral elections
made by the Recipient pursuant to this Section&nbsp;5 shall be made in accordance with (i)&nbsp;the
applicable election form provided by the Committee and (ii)&nbsp;Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. If the Recipient does not timely elect to defer the
receipt of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section&nbsp;5, then such shares shall be paid to the
Recipient in accordance with Section 3(i) of this Agreement.

Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of this RSU Award
and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith. The Recipient shall remit to
the Company a cash amount sufficient to satisfy, in whole or in part, any federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements arising in connection herewith prior to the delivery of any
certificate for the shares of Common Stock. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, (a)&nbsp;require
the Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, any such withholding tax requirements by having the
Company, upon any delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement
