INTRODUCTION

This guide provides a summary of Corinthian Colleges, Inc.’s (the “company”) Campus Support Bonus Plan (the “plan”), for July 1st, 2010 – June 30th, 2011 (the “plan term”).

The plan provides a lump-sum cash payment following the completion the fiscal year for achievement of annual budgeted operating profit and other goals based on predetermined performance and award schedules.

ELIGIBILITY

Current Employees
For a current employee in a position to be eligible, the employee must be employed in a bonus-eligible position on the first day of the plan term and remain employed by the company on the payment date.

New Hires, Promotions and Transfers
If an employee starts in a bonus eligible position after the start of the fiscal year (new hire or employee moving from no bonus plan to this bonus plan), the employee is eligible for a bonus on the first business day of the next month following their start date, promotion date or transfer date. Annual overachievement bonus will be based on the company’s performance over the full fiscal year but the employee’s bonus will be prorated based on the number of full months the employee was in the position.

      Example: If an employee is hired on February 5th, 2011, his or her proration would be for 4 full months of service (March, April, May and June).

Any time an employee moves from an annual plan to a quarterly plan (or a quarterly plan with an annual overachievement), the employee begins eligibility in the new plan on the first day of the next fiscal quarter, and remains eligible under the old plan up until that date.

Any time an employee moves from a quarterly plan (or a quarterly plan with an annual overachievement) to an annual plan, the employee begins eligibility in the new plan on the first day of the next fiscal quarter, and remains eligible in the old plan up until that date.

Circumstances not fitting into the above criteria will be determined on a case by case basis by the Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources.

Terminations or Resignations
Any employee who leaves the company for any reason before the payment date will not be eligible to receive a bonus.

Leave of Absences
A bonus eligible employee absent from work for any consecutive period greater than 30 days will receive a pro-rated bonus based on number of full months worked in the quarter or year.
