               be greater than the rates charged by the Authority to other
               commercial customers of similar size and usage. Further, it is
               specifically acknowledged and agreed by the parties that CCA does
               not own, and is not conveying to the Company, any rights to the
               inmate pay telephone service agreements relating to the Facility,
               or to any renewals or replacements thereof. The Company
               acknowledges that the Authority and the vendor under the inmate
               pay telephone service agreement with the Authority may have
               access to the inmate pay telephone equipment in the Facility
