ACS Education Services Management Assessment

Management of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) Education Services is responsible for assessing compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the servicing of (a) publicly-issued student loan backed security transactions issued on or after January 1, 2006 that are serviced by the Company for College Loan Corporation and (b) student loans for which the Company commenced servicing activities for Key Bank, N.A. on or after January 1, 2006 (collectively, the Platform), except for servicing criteria noted in Appendix A as “N/A”, which ACS Education Services has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(i), management has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by the servicing criterion. ACS Education Services’ management has determined that the vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and ACS Education Services’ management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (“Interpretation 17.06”). Management has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor. ACS Education Services’ management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criterion.

ACS Education Services’ management has assessed the effectiveness of the ACS Education Services’ compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, ACS Education Services has complied in all material respects with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the servicing of the Platform, except for material noncompliance with servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(ii) and 1122(d)(4)(iv). Related to criterion 1122(d)(2)(ii), disbursements made via wire transfers on behalf of an obligor to the lender were not made by authorized personnel. ACS Education Services did not maintain documented evidence that authorized personnel made disbursements via wire transfer on behalf of an obligor to the lender. While ACS Education Services management believes controls are in place which provide management reasonable assurance that wire transfers are made only by authorized personnel, documentation evidencing such was not available for a portion of the year ended December 31, 2007. Additional documentation (daily user access reports) is now retained to provide evidence of compliance with servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(ii). Related to servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(iv), certain payments on pool assets were posted to the obligor records more than two business days after receipt. For certain pool assets, the related transaction agreement states that payments are to be made within a mutually acceptable schedule; the referenced schedule has not been executed. ACS Education Services expects to execute a mutually acceptable schedule with the applicable lender that will specify payment posting and effective date time frames when payments received do not allow for the systematic posting within two days after receipt.

KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to ACS Education Services’ compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.
