                           Success Sharing Bonus Plan



The Company's Success Sharing Bonus Plan provides a formula for determination of
cash bonus payments to eligible employees based on a defined percentage of a
participant's qualifying base compensation multiplied by the CNT Performance
Factor (CPF). The CPF is derived from a matrix formulated by the board of
directors with axes consisting of defined levels of revenue, growth and pre-tax
profit.
