NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of benefits mutually exchanged and received,
the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do

1.   In the event CPT sells the Premises to the State of Louisiana or an
     associated state agency or division (the "State") for $14,500,000, upon the

     conditions otherwise agreed to by CPT and WCC, WCC shall pay to CPT the

     Louisiana and the sum of $15,500,000.

2.   WCC hereby waives any and all Rights of First Refusal contained in Article

         have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not
         contravene (i) WCC's and CPT's organizational documents and corporate

         transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         ii. Enforceable Obligations. WCC and CPT have duly executed and
         delivered this Agreement. This Agreement is the legal, valid, and
         binding obligation of WCC and CPT enforceable against WCC and CPT in
         accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
         by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
         or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally.

6.   WCC shall pay to CPT a Lease Termination Fee of Two Million Five Hundred
     Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) upon the date of closing of the sale of the
     Premises to the State as consideration for termination of the Lease with
     CPT.

7.   CPT and WCC agree that the Lease will be terminated effective the date of
     the closing of the sale of the Premises to the State and that CPT will file
     any and all necessary or requested documentation of such Lease termination
     with the proper authorities.

8.   WCC, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify
     and make CPT whole with respect to any and all losses, liabilities,
     obligations, claims or litigation of any sort or description whatsoever
     incurred by CPT, arising from or related to the sale of the Premises to the
     State or the provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

9.   WCC agrees and acknowledges that it shall be responsible for and shall
     reimburse CPT on a monthly basis for all costs and expenses incurred by CPT
     relative to the conveyance of the Jena facility to the State of Louisiana.
     WCC's obligation to CPT shall commence upon execution of this Agreement and
     shall continue throughout the course of negotiations and eventual closing.
     This obligation is not contingent upon the closing of the Jena facility
     and, notwithstanding a termination of the Purchase Agreement by Louisiana,
     WCC shall remain obligated to CPT for all costs and expenses attendant to
     the proposed transaction. CPT will use its best efforts to minimize these
     closing costs and expenses.

Indemnifying Party, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) the defense of such Claim with its counsel and

defend or settle such Claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

Purchaser has entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement")
with the U.S. Department of Justice and certain private plaintiffs entitled

in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, under
which agreement Purchaser has agreed that it would not house juveniles at the
Jena Juvenile Justice Center which is the same property made the subject of this
Agreement. As a condition to the Purchaser's obligation to purchase the
Property, necessary assurance shall be received providing that the Louisiana
Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall, at its discretion, have the
authority to house juveniles at the Property under conditions of full ownership
and operation by the State of Louisiana. The assurance shall be acceptable in

including any further orders or judgments of the Court.

Denegre, L.L.P., as special counsel for Purchaser, and to the extent required by
law, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Louisiana, counsel for

instruments, and documents relating to the Transaction which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         9.3 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF CLOSING DOCUMENTS. Seller shall have
executed and delivered each of the Closing Documents to which it is a Party.

         9.4 NO CHANGES TO CONDITION OF PROPERTY. There shall have been, between

the condition of the Property.

         9.5 NO MISREPRESENTATION OR BREACH OF COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. There shall have been no material breach by Seller in the
performance of any of its covenants herein, each of the representations and
warranties of Seller contained or referred to in this Agreement shall be true
and correct in all material respects on the Closing Effective Date as though
made on the Closing Effective Date.

         9.6 OBSTRUCTIVE PROCEEDINGS. No suit, pleading, action, or Claim shall
have been alleged, filed or instituted by any Person (excluding Purchaser)
seeking injunctive relief or damages in a material amount, and no order, decree
or judgment shall have been rendered by any Governmental Authority, which seeks
to void or would prevent the consummation of, or render it unlawful for,
Purchaser to enter into this Agreement; or acquire and/or operate the Property.

         9.7 ORDER PROHIBITING TRANSACTION. No order shall have been entered in
any action or proceeding before any court or Governmental Authority, and no
temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction by any court shall have been
issued which would have the effect of (a) making the Transaction unenforceable
or illegal; (b) otherwise preventing consummation of such transactions; (c)
imposing material limitations on the ability of Purchaser effectively to acquire
or hold the Property or to exercise full rights of ownership of the Property.

         9.8 LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION AND TREASURY FUNDING Purchaser shall have
obtained:

                  a.       an appropriation by the Legislature in the Capital
                           Outlay Bill to fund the acquisition of the Property,

                           Governor of the State shall not have vetoed either of
                           the appropriations;

                  b.       the approval by the State Bond Commission of the
                           Transaction, if required by law; and

and Closing costs.

         9.9 RESULTS OF INSPECTIONS. The results of Purchaser's Inspections,
including without limitation Purchaser's assessment and cost estimate on the
suitability of the Property for Purchaser's intended use, shall be satisfactory
to Purchaser or the applicable periods of time to conduct Purchaser's
Inspections shall have expired without written notice of Purchaser's Objections
or termination being timely given to Seller.
