</B></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On May&nbsp;13, 2008, the stockholders of Career Education Corporation (&#147;CEC&#148;) approved the Career Education Corporation 2008
Incentive Plan (the &#147;2008 Plan&#148;). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors also approved forms of award agreements under the 2008 Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The 2008 Plan is intended to attract and retain exceptionally qualified employees, consultants and directors upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of CEC depend. By encouraging employees, consultants
and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire a proprietary interest in CEC&#146;s growth and performance, CEC intends to motivate employees, consultants and directors to achieve its long-term goals and to more closely align such
persons&#146; interests with those of CEC&#146;s other stockholders. The 2008 Plan is also designed to enable CEC to provide certain forms of performance-based compensation to senior executive officers that will meet the requirements for tax
deductibility under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). The 2008 Plan authorizes awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock,
performance units, annual incentive awards, and substitute awards. Any shares of CEC Common Stock that are subject to awards of stock options or stock appreciation rights will be counted as one share for each share granted for purposes of the
aggregate share limit and any shares of CEC Common Stock that are subject to any other awards will be counted as 1.67 shares for each share granted for purposes of the aggregate share limit. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2008 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which will have the sole authority to, among other things: construe and
interpret the 2008 Plan; make rules and regulations relating to the administration of the 2008 Plan; select participants; and establish the terms and conditions of awards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any employee of CEC or any of its subsidiaries, including any officer of CEC, selected by the Compensation Committee is eligible to receive awards under the 2008 Plan. Directors and consultants of CEC are also
eligible to receive awards (other than certain stock options and performance awards) under the 2008 Plan. The selection of participants and the nature and size of awards will be wholly within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Unless
previously forfeited or otherwise provided for in an award agreement, all awards under the 2008 Plan will vest on a change in control of CEC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2008
Plan will remain in effect until May&nbsp;13, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. Termination will not affect awards then outstanding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The foregoing description of the 2008 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. </FONT></P>
