    (c)           The

      the consent of any Noteholder so long as the Issuer has (i) received written
      confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Notes

      in
      a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Notes of the BAseries and
      (ii)
      delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust

    (a)  For
      each
      Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class
      A(2007-12) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (i)(A) a
      fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
      Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the
      Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period,
times (ii) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class

    Class
      A(2007-12) Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of
      days in the related Interest Period and a 360-day year.

     

    (b)  Pursuant
      to Section 3.03 of the Indenture Supplement, on each Transfer Date, the
      Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Class A(2007-12) Interest Funding
      sub-Account the portion of BAseries Available Funds allocable to the Class
      A(2007-12) Notes.

     

    Section
      2.04.  Calculation
      Agent; Determination of LIBOR.  

     

    (a)           The
      Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A(2007-12) Notes are
      Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR
      for each Interest Period (the “Calculation Agent”).  The Issuer
      hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent for
      purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period.  The
      Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time.  If the
      Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the
      Issuer, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest
      Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that
      does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer
      or its Affiliates.  The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties,
      and the Issuer may not remove the Calculation Agent, without a successor having
      been duly appointed.

     

    (b)           On
      each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine LIBOR
      on
      the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month
      period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London
      time, on such date (or, for the first Interest Period, the rate that corresponds
      to the actual number of days in the first Interest Period).  If such
      rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the rate for that LIBOR
      Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which
      deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
      approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
      interbank market for a one-month period.  The Calculation Agent shall
      request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide
      a
      quotation of its rate.  If at least two such quotations are provided,
      the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of
      the
      quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested,
      the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
      rates quoted by four major banks in New York City, selected by the Beneficiary,
      at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United
      States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period.

     

    (c)           The
      Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding
      Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its
      corporate trust office at (212) 815-3247 or such other telephone number as
      shall
      be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice
      by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from time to time.

     

    (d)           On
      each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall send to the Indenture
      Trustee, the Beneficiary and the Servicer, by facsimile transmission,
      notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.

      2.05.  Payments
      of Interest and
      Principal.  

     

    (a)  Any
      installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Class
      A(2007-12) Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer
      and the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal
      Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose name
      such
      Class A(2007-12) Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on
      the Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
      Person’s account as has been designated by written instructions received by the
      Paying Agent from such Person not later than the close of business on the third
      Business Day preceding the date of payment or, if no such account has been
      so
      designated, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person’s
      address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that
      with
      respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of
      Cede & Co., payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available
      funds to the account designated by such nominee.

     

    (b)  The
      right
      of the Class A(2007-12) Noteholders to receive payments from the Issuer
      will terminate on the first Business Day following the Class
      A(2007-12) Termination Date.

    Section
      2.07.  Delivery

    Representations
      and Warranties

     

    Section
      3.01.  Issuer’s
      Representations and Warranties.  The Issuer makes the following
      representations and warranties as to the Collateral Certificate on which the
      Indenture Trustee is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Collateral
      Certificate.  Such representations and warranties speak as of the
      execution and delivery of this Terms Document, but shall survive until the
      termination of this Terms Document.  Such representations and
      warranties shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Terms Document
      unless the Issuer has obtained written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency
      that there will be no Ratings Effect with respect to such waiver.

     

    (a)  The
      Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
      Delaware UCC) in the Collateral Certificate in favor of the Indenture Trustee,
      which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as
      such
      as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

     

    (b)  The
      Collateral Certificate constitutes either an “account,” a “general intangible,”
an “instrument,” or a “certificated security,” each within the meaning of the
      Delaware UCC.

     

    (c)  At
      the
      time of the transfer and assignment of the Collateral Certificate to the
      Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer owned and had good
      and
      marketable title to the Collateral Certificate free and clear of any lien,
      claim
      or encumbrance of any Person.

     

    (d)  The
      Issuer has caused, within ten days of the execution of the Indenture, the filing
      of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
      appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security
      interest in the Collateral Certificate granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
      to the Indenture.

     

    (e)  Other
      than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
      Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
      interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Collateral Certificate.  The
      Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
      statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering
      the Collateral Certificate other than any financing statement relating to the
      security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture
      or
      any financing statement that has been terminated.  The Issuer is not
      aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

     

    (f)  All
      original executed copies of the Collateral Certificate have been delivered
      to
      the Indenture Trustee.

     

    (g)  At
      the
      time of the transfer and assignment of the Collateral Certificate to the
      Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Collateral Certificate had no
      marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
      conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

Career Education
Corporation

2895 Greenspoint Parkway,
Suite 600

Hoffman Estates,
Illinois 60169

August 13, 2007

To:       Mr. Michael J. Graham

Dear Mike:

I am pleased to extend
this offer for the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer of Career Education Corporation. 
Your position will be based in our corporate offices in Hoffman Estates,
and you will report to me.  This is an
important Corporate Officer role and you will be part of our company’s Senior
Leadership Team.

Following are the details
of your compensation package:

·                  The
base salary for this position is $32,500 per month (which equates to an annual
salary of $390,000).  Your base salary
will be reviewed on an annual basis.

·                  A
sign-on bonus of $50,000 will be paid within 30 days of the start of your
employment provided you commence employment with CEC by September 15, 2007.

·                  You
are eligible to participate in the Corporate Bonus Program at the Company.  Your target annual bonus will be 75% of base
salary earned and is typically paid in February or March of the year subsequent
to the year for which it is earned.  Your
bonus for 2007 will be guaranteed to be a minimum of 75% of base salary earned
so long as you continue in our employment through December 31, 2007.  Such bonus payment will be made no later than
March 15, 2008.

·                  You
are also eligible to participate in the Corporate Over Achievement Bonus
Plan.  Payments under this plan are at
the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors based on company achievement in excess of budgeted
income.

·                  The
Company will grant you 12,500 options under the terms of its 1998 Employee
Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) with an exercise price
equal to the stock price at the close of business on your first day of
employment.  The options will vest 25%
per year over four years.  Beginning in
2008 and thereafter, you will be eligible to participate in the company’s
equity compensation programs.

·                  You
will be granted 6,000 shares of Restricted Stock.    These 6,000 shares will vest on the third
anniversary of the grant date, subject to the terms of the restricted stock
agreement and the Compensation Plan.

·                  You
will earn vacation at a rate of 20 working days per year.

·                  You
will be eligible to participate in the benefit programs available to our
employees as soon as you meet the eligibility requirements of each plan.  I have enclosed a summary of our plans for
your review.

·                  This
letter contains all agreements, and supersedes all other agreements, verbal and
written, pertaining to your employment with CEC.  Employment at the Company is employment
at-will and may be terminated at the will of either you or the Company.

 1
 

·                  All
grants of stock options and restricted stock are contingent upon formal
approval by the Compensation Committee of the CEC Board of Directors.

·                  During
the first twelve (12) months of your employment, in the event of either an
involuntary termination by CEC without cause (as defined in the Compensation
Plan) or a voluntary resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), you will
receive severance benefits equal to one (1) year of base salary, and pro-rated
target bonus, if earned, based on actual time worked in the position (such
bonus to be paid no later than March 15 of the year following termination of
employment).  If you are a “specified
employee” (as described in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) on the
date of any such termination, then any severance payment will be delayed until
the date that is six months following the date of your “separation from service”
(as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).  For purposes hereof, “Good Reason is defined
as a material diminution in duties or responsibilities inconsistent with your
position as Chief Financial Officer, or an elimination of, or material
reduction in benefits, including base salary and target bonus (other than an
elimination or reduction required by applicable law), provided under any
executive benefit plan, where such elimination or reduction is not generally
applicable to all plan participants.

·                  After
twelve (12) months of employment, you would be covered under the normal CEC
Severance Plan for Executive Level Employees (the “Severance Plan”).  Benefits under the Severance Plan currently
consist of six-months annual base salary, and pro-rated target bonus, if
earned, based on actual time worked in the position.  Notwithstanding Section I.C. of the Severance
Plan, you will be entitled to the benefits provided under Section II.A. of the
Severance Plan if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good
Reason (as defined above).

·                  Severance
benefits are conditioned upon a complete release of all claims against the Company.

·                  Severance
benefits are not paid in event of death, disability, retirement, voluntary
resignation without Good Reason or termination for cause.

Please call me if you
wish to discuss this offer.

Mike, I am excited about
you joining me and the Career Education Corporation team.  I know you have the skills and experience to
