(the "Trust") to issue and to sell, pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement
(this "Agreement") to Goldman, Sachs & Co., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., UBS
Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (each, an "Underwriter" and
collectively, the "Underwriters") $300,000,000 principal amount of its Class A-1
Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2 (the "Class A-1 Notes"),

thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Sponsor, College Loan or

controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If

Registrar") of the Issuer for the Notes. Notwithstanding such appointment
and with the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to make any arrangements with other institutions which it deems
necessary or desirable in order that such institutions may perform the duties of

Notes may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Trustee for a like
aggregate principal amount of fully registered Notes of the same series,
subseries, if any, interest rate and maturity in authorized denominations. The
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes which
the Registered Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing numbers
not contemporaneously outstanding. The execution by the Issuer of any fully
registered Note of any authorized denomination shall constitute full and due
authorization of such denomination and the Trustee shall thereby be authorized
to authenticate and deliver such fully registered Note. As
to any Note, the person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment
of either principal or interest on any fully registered Note shall be made only
to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner thereof or his legal
representative but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All
such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid. Each
Registered Owner and each transferee of a Note shall be deemed to represent and
warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note directly or indirectly for,
or on behalf of, an ERISA plan or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed
to be plan assets of such ERISA plan; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of
the Notes will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section

are subsequently deemed to be "plan assets" pursuant to the regulations set
forth at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, it will promptly dispose of the Notes.
The
Trustee shall require the payment by any Registered Owner requesting exchange or
transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with

exchange may be required to pay all taxes and governmental charges in connection
with such transfer or exchange, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.07
hereof. Section

Note, if mutilated, (a) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, a replacement Note of the same interest rate, maturity
and denomination in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or
(b) if such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note shall have matured within
15 days be due and payable, in lieu of executing and delivering a new Note as
aforesaid, the Issuer may pay such Note. Any such new Note shall bear a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. The applicant for any such new Note may be
required to pay all taxes and governmental charges and all expenses and charges
of the Issuer and of the Trustee in connection with the issuance of such Note.
All Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent
permitted by law, the foregoing conditions are exclusive with respect to the
replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes,
negotiable instruments or other securities. Section
2.05 Trustee's Authentication Certificate. The Trustee's
authentication certificate upon any Notes shall be substantially in the form
attached to the Notes. No Note shall be secured hereby or entitled to the
benefit hereof, or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless a
certificate of authentication, substantially in such form, has been duly
executed by the Trustee; and such certificate of the Trustee upon any Note shall
be conclusive evidence and the only competent evidence that such Note has been
authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee's certificate of
authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if manually
signed by an authorized officer or signatory of the Trustee, but it shall not be
necessary that the same person sign the certificate of authentication on all of
the Notes issued hereunder. Section
2.06 Cancellation and Destruction of Notes by the Trustee. Whenever any
Outstanding Notes shall be delivered to the Trustee for the cancellation thereof
pursuant to this Indenture, upon payment of the principal amount and interest
represented thereby, or for replacement pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, such
Notes shall be promptly cancelled and, within a reasonable time, cremated or
otherwise destroyed by the Trustee and counterparts of a certificate of
destruction evidencing such cremation or other destruction shall be furnished by
the Trustee to the Issuer. Section
2.07 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer
may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be issuable as fully registered Notes without coupons, of
any denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Notes but with
such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every temporary Note shall be
executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the
definitive Notes. As promptly as practicable the Issuer shall execute and shall
furnish definitive Notes and thereupon temporary Notes may be surrendered in
exchange therefor without charge at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes a
like aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes. Until so exchanged the
temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Notes. Section
2.08 Issuance of Notes. The Issuer shall have the authority, upon complying with
the provisions of this Article II, to issue and deliver the Notes which shall be
secured by the Trust Estate. In addition, the Issuer may, subject to Section

desirable with respect to any or all of the Notes. Section

writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer Administrator is
unable to locate a successor; (b) the Issuer Administrator at its option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Clearing Agency; or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or a
default by a Servicer or the Issuer Administrator under a Servicing Agreement or
the Administration Agreement, respectively, Noteholders representing beneficial
interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
advise the Clearing Agency (which shall then notify the Trustee) in writing that
the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in the best interests of the Noteholders, then the Trustee shall cause the
Clearing Agency to notify all Noteholders, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive Notes to
Noteholders requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
typewritten Notes representing the book-entry Notes by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate the definitive Notes in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of definitive Notes, the Trustee shall recognize
the holders of the definitive Notes as Registered Owners.
Section 2.10 Payment of Principal and Interest. ARTICLE III Section
3.01 Parity and Priority of Lien. The provisions, covenants and agreements
herein set forth to be performed by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be for the
equal benefit, protection and security of the Registered Owners, all of which
shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction of any of the
Obligations over any other thereof, except as expressly provided in this
Indenture with respect to certain payment and other priorities. Section
3.02 Other Obligations. The Available Funds and other moneys, Financed Eligible
Loans, securities, evidences of indebtedness, interests, rights and properties
pledged under this Indenture are and will be owned by the Issuer free and clear
of any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or with respect thereto prior
to, of equal rank with or subordinate to the respective pledges created by this
Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and all action on the
part of the Issuer to that end has been duly and validly taken. If any Financed
Eligible Loan is found to have been subject to a lien at the time such Financed
Eligible Loan was acquired, the Issuer shall cause such lien to be released,
shall purchase such Financed Eligible Loan from the Trust Estate for a purchase
price equal to its principal amount plus any unamortized premium, if any, and
interest accrued thereon plus any Special Allowance Payments that may not be
payable to the Trustee or shall replace such Financed Eligible Loan with another
Eligible Loan with substantially identical characteristics which replacement
Eligible Loan shall be free and clear of liens at the time of such replacement.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Issuer shall not create or voluntarily
permit to be created any debt, lien or charge on the Financed Eligible Loans
which would be on a parity with, subordinate to, or prior to the lien of this
Indenture; shall not do or omit to do or suffer to be done or omitted to be done
any matter or things whatsoever whereby the lien of this Indenture or the
priority of such lien for the Obligations hereby secured might or could be lost
or impaired; and will pay or cause to be paid or will make adequate provisions
for the satisfaction and discharge of all lawful claims and demands which if
unpaid might by law be given precedence to or any equality with this Indenture
as a lien or charge upon the Financed Eligible Loans; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.02 shall require the Issuer to pay, discharge or make
provision for any such lien, charge, claim or demand so long as the validity
thereof shall be by it in good faith contested, unless thereby, in the opinion
of the Trustee, the same will endanger the security for the Obligations; and
provided further that any subordinate lien hereon (i.e., subordinate to the lien
securing the Class A Obligations and the Class B Obligations) shall be entitled
to no payment from the Trust Estate, nor may any remedy be exercised with
respect to such subordinate lien against the Trust Estate until all Obligations
have been paid or deemed paid hereunder. Section
3.03 Derivative Product Agreements; Counterparty Payments; Issuer Derivative
Payments. The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to acknowledge

Issuer and a Counterparty under which (a) the Issuer may be required to make,
from time to time, Issuer Derivative Payments and Termination Payments and (b)
the Trustee may receive, from time to time, Counterparty Payments for the
account of the Issuer. No Derivative Product Agreement shall be entered into
unless the Trustee shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each
Rating Agency that such Derivative Product Agreement will not adversely affect
the Rating on any of the Notes. The Derivative Product Agreements are designated
as a "Class A Obligation" and the Counterparties shall be "Class
A Beneficiaries." ARTICLE IV Section

said Obligations according to the true intent and meaning thereof. The
Obligations shall be and are hereby declared to be payable from and equally
secured, except as specifically provided in this Indenture with respect to
certain payment and other priorities, by an irrevocable first lien on and pledge
of the properties constituting the Trust Estate, subject to the application
thereof as permitted by this Indenture, but in no event shall the Registered
Owners or any Counterparty have any right to possession or control of any

bailee. Section

will duly execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed
and delivered, all and every such further acts, conveyances, transfers and
assurances in law as the Trustee shall reasonably require for the better

require the Servicing Administrator to comply with the following, whether or not

requires a transfer of funds or money from one Fund to another, a transfer of
ownership in investments or an undivided interest therein may be made in any
manner agreeable to the Issuer and the Trustee, and in the calculation of the
amount transferred, interest on the investment which has or will accrue before
the date the money is needed in the fund to which the transfer is made shall not
be taken into account or considered as money on hand at the time of such
transfer. Section
4.06 Additional Covenants with Respect to the Act. The Issuer covenants that it
will cause the Trustee to be, or replace the Trustee with, an Eligible Lender
under the Act, that it will acquire or cause to be acquired Eligible Loans
originated and held only by an Eligible Lender and that it will not dispose of
or deliver any Financed Eligible Loans or any security interest in any such
Financed Eligible Loans to any party who is not an Eligible Lender so long as
the Act or Regulations adopted thereunder require an Eligible Lender to be the
owner or holder of Guaranteed Eligible Loans; provided, however, that nothing
above shall prevent the Issuer from delivering the Eligible Loans to the
Servicer or the Guarantee Agency. The Registered Owners of the Notes shall not
in any circumstances be deemed to be the owner or holder of the Guaranteed
Eligible Loans. The
Issuer, or the Issuer Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, shall be
responsible for each of the following actions with respect to the Act:
The
Trustee shall not be deemed to be the designated agent for the purposes of this
Section 4.06 unless it has agreed in writing to be such agent. Section
4.07 Financed Eligible Loans; Collections Thereof; Assignment Thereof. The
Issuer, through the Servicers, shall diligently collect all principal and
interest payments on all Financed Eligible Loans (as such payments may be
adjusted to take into account (i) any discount that the Issuer or the Issuer
Administrator on its behalf may cause to be made available to borrowers who make
payments on Financed Eligible Loans through automatic withdrawal or (ii) any
reduction in interest payable on Financed Eligible Loans provided for in any
borrower incentive or other special program under which such Financed Eligible
Loans were originated), and all Interest Benefit Payments, insurance, guarantee
and default claims and Special Allowance Payments which relate to such Financed
Eligible Loans. The Issuer shall cause the filing and assignment of such claims
(prior to the timely filing deadline for such claims under the Regulations) by
the Servicers. The Issuer will comply with the Act and Regulations which apply
to the Program and to such Financed Eligible Loans. Section
4.08 Appointment of Agents, Direction to Trustee, Etc. The Issuer shall
employ and appoint all employees, agents, consultants and attorneys which it may
consider necessary. No member or officer of the Issuer Administrator, either
singly or collectively, shall be personally liable for any act or omission not
willfully fraudulent or mala fide. The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to
enter into this Indenture, the Administration Agreement, the Custodian
Agreements, the Verification Agent Agreement, the Derivative Product Agreements,
and each Investment Agreement. Section

be sued on matters arising out of or relating to the financing of the Financed
Eligible Loans. Section

or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a Delaware statutory trust,
except as otherwise permitted by this Section 4.10. The Issuer further agrees
that it will not (a) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all, of its assets (except Financed Eligible Loans if such sale, transfer or
disposition will discharge this Indenture in accordance with Article X hereof);
(b) consolidate with or merge into another entity; or (c) permit one or more
other entities to consolidate with or merge into it. Section
4.11 Amendment of Student Loan Purchase Agreements. The Issuer shall notify the
Trustee in writing of any proposed amendments to any existing Student Loan
Purchase Agreement. No such amendment shall become effective unless and until
the Issuer obtains a Rating Agency Confirmation and the Trustee consents in
writing to such amendment. The consent of the Trustee shall not be unreasonably
withheld and shall not be withheld if the Trustee receives an opinion of counsel
acceptable to them that such an amendment is required by the Act and is not
prejudicial to the Registered Owners or any Counterparties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, the Trustee shall consent to an amendment from time to time
so long as it is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Registered
Owners or any Counterparties, and the Trustee may rely on an opinion of counsel
to such effect.
Section 4.12 Representations; Negative Covenants.
Section 4.13 Additional Covenants. So long as any of the Notes are Outstanding: Section
4.14 Providing of Notice. The Issuer, upon learning of any failure on its part
to observe or perform in any material respect any covenant, representation or
warranty of the Issuer set forth in this Indenture, the Derivative Product
Agreements or the applicable Student Loan Purchase Agreements, or of any failure
on the part of the Seller, College Loan Corporation, College Loan Warehouse LLC,
College Loan Gold Funding LLC or College Loan Royal Funding LLC to observe or
perform in any material respect any covenant, representation or warranty of the
Seller, College Loan Corporation, College Loan Warehouse LLC, College Loan Gold
Funding LLC or College Loan Royal Funding LLC set forth in the applicable
Student Loan Purchase Agreements, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the
Servicing Administrator and each Rating Agency of such failure.
Section 4.15 Certain Reports. The Trustee may
conclusively rely and accept such reports from the Issuer as fulfilling the
requirements of this Section 4.15, with no further duty to know, determine or
examine such reports or comply with the prescribed timing, rules and regulations
of the Commission. Section
4.16 Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from an
Authorized Representative including (a) a current list of the Authorized
Representatives, and (b) a statement indicating whether or not to the knowledge
of the signers thereof the Issuer is in compliance with all conditions and
covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance,
specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of
this Section 4.16, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture. Section
4.17 Representations of the Issuer Regarding the Trustee's Security
Interest. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties as follows: Section
4.18 Further Covenants of the Issuer Regarding the Trustee's Security
Interest. The Issuer hereby covenants for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Registered Owners and any Counterparties as follows:
Section 4.19 Opinions as to Trust Estate. ARTICLE V Section
5.01 Creation and Continuation of Funds and Accounts. There are hereby created
and established the following Funds and Accounts to be held and maintained by
the Trustee for the benefit of the Registered Owners and any Counterparties: The
Trustee is hereby authorized for the purpose of facilitating the administration
of the Trust Estate and for the administration of any Notes issued hereunder to
create further Accounts or Subaccounts in any of the various Funds and Accounts
established hereunder which are deemed necessary or desirable. Section
5.02 Acquisition Fund. There shall be deposited into the Acquisition Fund moneys
from the proceeds of the Notes in an amount equal to $1,338,136,945. Financed
Eligible Loans shall be held by the Trustee or its agent or bailee (including a
Custodian or Servicer) and shall be pledged to the Trust Estate and accounted
for as a part of the Acquisition Fund.
Moneys on deposit in the Acquisition Fund shall be used, upon Issuer Order,
solely to (a) pay costs of issuance of the Notes, (b) on the Closing Date,
purchase the Initial Interest Rate Cap Derivative Product Agreement and the
Initial LIBOR Derivative Product Agreement, and (c) on the Closing Date and
thereafter, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Eligible Loan Acquisition
Certificate, to acquire Eligible Loans pursuant to a Student Loan Purchase
Agreement at a price not in excess of, in respect of each Eligible Loan,
102.204% of the aggregate principal balance of such Eligible Loan plus accrued
borrower interest thereon. If the amount on deposit in the Acquisition Fund on
the Quarterly Distribution Date in July 2006 is greater than $2,000,000, the
Issuer Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the
Acquisition Fund on such Quarterly Distribution Date an amount equal to the
excess thereof and to deposit such amount in the Collection Fund. After such
transfer, amounts remaining in the Acquisition Fund will be used by the Issuer
to acquire any related Add-On Consolidation Loans, upon receipt by the Trustee
of an Eligible Loan Acquisition Certificate and all documents and certificates
required thereby. On the Quarterly Distribution Date in January 2007 the Issuer
Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw all amounts
remaining in the Acquisition Fund on such Quarterly Distribution Date and to
deposit such amounts in the Collection Fund.
While the Issuer will be the beneficial owner of the Financed Eligible Loans and
the Registered Owners and any Counterparties will have a security interest
therein, it is understood and agreed that the Eligible Lender Trustee will be
the legal owner thereof and the Trustee will have a security interest in the
Financed Eligible Loans for and on behalf of the Registered Owners and any
Counterparties. In the case of a single Financed Eligible Loan evidenced by a
separate note, each such note will be held in the name of the Eligible Lender
Trustee for the account of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Registered Owners
and any Counterparties. In the case of a Financed Eligible Loan evidenced by a
Master Promissory Note, the Issuer shall cause the holder of the original Master
Promissory Note to indicate by book entry on its books and records that the
Issuer is the beneficial owner of the Loan and that the Eligible Lender Trustee
is the legal owner and has a security interest in the Financed Eligible Loan for
the benefit of the Registered Owners and any Counterparties.
Except as provided in Sections 5.07, 10.03 and 10.04 hereof, Financed Eligible
Loans shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (other than for
consolidation, serialization or transfer to a Guaranty Agency) by the Trustee
free from the lien of this Indenture.
Section 5.03 Collection Fund. Amounts properly
distributed to the Sponsor pursuant to paragraph (L) shall be deemed released
from the Trust Estate and the security interest therein granted to the Trustee,
and the Sponsor shall in no event thereafter be required to refund any such
distributed amounts.
Section 5.04 Reserve Fund. Section
5.05 Capitalized Interest Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deposit $55,000,000 into the Capitalized Interest Account. On each Monthly
Payment Date or Distribution Date, to the extent there are insufficient
Available Funds in the Collection Fund to make one or more of the transfers
required by Sections 5.03(b) and 5.03(c)(A) through (c)(E), before giving effect
to any transfers from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Fund on such Monthly
Payment Date or Distribution Date, as the case may be, then the Issuer
Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing no later than three (3)
Business Days prior to withdraw from the Capitalized Interest Account on such
Monthly Payment Date or Distribution Date, as the case may be, an amount equal
to such deficiency and to deposit such amount in the Collection Fund. Section
5.06 Investment of Funds Held by Trustee. The Trustee shall invest money held
for the credit of any Fund or Account or Subaccount held by the Trustee
hereunder as directed in writing (or orally, confirmed in writing) by an
Authorized Representative of the Issuer, to the fullest extent practicable and
reasonable, in Investment Securities which shall mature or be redeemable at par
at the option of the holder prior to the next Monthly Payment Date. In the
absence of any such direction and to the extent practicable, the Trustee may
invest amounts held hereunder in those Investment Securities described in clause
(ix) of the definition of the Investment Securities. All such investments shall
be held by (or by any Custodian on behalf of) the Trustee for the benefit of the
Issuer; provided that prior to or on the Business Day preceding each
Distribution Date and Monthly Payment Date all interest and other investment
income collected (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit
therein shall be deposited into the Collection Fund and shall be deemed to
constitute a portion of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date. The
Trustee and the Issuer hereby agree that unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred hereunder, the Issuer acting by and through an Authorized
Representative shall be entitled to, and shall, provide written direction or
oral direction confirmed in writing to the Trustee with respect to any
discretionary acts required or permitted of the Trustee under any Investment
Securities and the Trustee shall not take such discretionary acts without such
written direction. To
the extent any notice as to the making of an investment or the withdrawal of
funds is required pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Investment
Securities meeting the criteria set forth in clause (vi) of such defined term,
the Issuer Administrator shall deliver such notice to the Trustee no later than
the Business Day such notice is due thereunder. Any damages, expenses or losses
incurred by the Trustee in connection with the failure to provide such notice as
required shall be paid by the Issuer. The
Investment Securities purchased shall be held by the Trustee and shall be deemed
at all times to be part of such Fund or Account or Subaccounts or combination
thereof, and the Trustee shall inform the Issuer of the details of all such
investments. Upon direction in writing (or orally, confirmed in writing) from an
Authorized Representative of the Issuer, the Trustee shall use its best efforts
to sell at the best price obtainable, or present for redemption, any Investment
Securities purchased by it as an investment whenever it shall be necessary to
provide money to meet any payment from the applicable Fund. The Trustee shall
advise the Issuer in writing, on or before the fifteenth day of each calendar
month (or such later date as reasonably consented to by the Issuer), of all
investments held for the credit of each Fund in its custody under the provisions
of this Indenture as of the end of the preceding month and the value thereof,
and shall list any investments which were sold or liquidated for less than the
par value thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest at the time thereof.
Money in any Fund
constituting a part of the Trust Estate may be pooled for the purpose of making
investments and may be used to pay accrued interest on Investment Securities
purchased. The Trustee and its Affiliates may act as principal or agent in the
acquisition or disposition of any Investment Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any losses on
investments made by it hereunder or for keeping all Funds held by it, fully
invested at all times, its only responsibility being to comply with the
investment instructions of the Issuer or its designee in a non-negligent manner. The
Issuer acknowledges that to the extent the regulations of the Comptroller of the
Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the Issuer the right to
receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions, the Issuer waives
receipt of such confirmations. Any
investment of funds in Investment Securities shall be held by a financial
institution in accordance with the following requirements: Any
cash held by the Trustee shall be considered a "financial asset" for purposes of
this paragraph. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Trustee shall have
sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with each document of
transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee
in a manner which complies with this paragraph. The
Trustee agrees that it has no security interest or other adverse claim to the
Funds or the Investment Securities therein that are part of the Trust Estate
other than pursuant to this Indenture and that it will not enter into any
agreement that would give any Person or entity other than the Trustee the right
to give entitlement orders with respect to such Investment Securities or the
Funds. The
Issuer Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall retain the authority to
institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment,
merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any Investment Securities
held hereunder, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or right
with respect to such Investment Securities as individuals generally have and
enjoy with respect to their own assets and investments, including power to vote
upon any matter relating to holders of such Investment Securities.

following events are hereby defined as, and are declared to be, "Events of

shall deem best, conduct the business thereof and exercise the privileges
pertaining thereto and all the rights and powers of the Issuer and use all of
the then existing Trust Estate for that purpose, and collect and receive all
charges, income and Available Funds of the same and of every part thereof, and
after deducting therefrom all expenses incurred hereunder and all other proper
outlays herein authorized, and all payments which may be made as just and
reasonable compensation for its own services, and for the services of its
attorneys, agents, and assistants, the Trustee shall apply the rest and residue
of the money received by the Trustee as follows (provided, however, in the case

before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Counterparty and each
Registered Owner (provided, that so long as the Notes remain in book-entry form,
the only Registered Owner shall be the Clearing Agency or its nominee) and the
Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to
be paid. Section
6.03 Remedies on Default; Advice of Counsel. Upon the happening of any Event of
Default, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the
Trustee and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties in such manner as
counsel for the Trustee may advise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant, condition, agreement or undertaking herein contained, or in aid of the
execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of such other
appropriate legal or equitable remedies as, in the opinion of such counsel, may
be more effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid. Section
6.04 Remedies on Default; Sale of Trust Estate. Upon the happening of any Event
of Default and if the principal of all of the Outstanding Obligations shall have
been declared due and payable, then and in every such case, and irrespective of
whether other remedies authorized shall have been pursued in whole or in part,
the Trustee may sell, with or without entry, to the highest bidder the Trust
Estate, and all right, title, interest, claim and demand thereto and the right
of redemption thereof, at any such place or places, and at such time or times
and upon such notice and terms as may be required by law. Upon such sale the
Trustee may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and
sufficient assignment or conveyance for the same, which sale shall be a
perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Issuer and all Persons
claiming such properties. No purchaser at any sale shall be bound to see to the
application of the purchase money or to inquire as to the authorization,
necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale. The Trustee is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Issuer, in its
name and stead, to make and execute all bills of sale, instruments of assignment
and transfer and such other documents of transfer as may be necessary or
advisable in connection with a sale of all or part of the Trust Estate, but the
Issuer, if so requested by the Trustee, shall ratify and confirm any sale or
sales by executing and delivering to the Trustee or to such purchaser or
purchasers all such instruments as may be necessary, or in the judgment of the
Trustee, proper for the purpose which may be designated in such request. In
addition, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the
Trustee and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties in such manner as
counsel for the Trustee may advise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant, condition, agreement or undertaking herein contained, or in aid of the
execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of such other
appropriate legal or equitable remedies as may in the opinion of such counsel,
be more effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid. The Trustee shall
take any such action or actions if requested to do so in writing by the
Registered Owners and any Counterparties of at least 51% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations at the time Outstanding. However, in
the case of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c), the Trustee may
take such action or actions only if requested to do so in writing by the
Registered Owners and any Counterparties of all Obligations at the time
Outstanding unless the net proceeds received by the Trustee from selling the
Trust Estate are sufficient to pay all amounts owed to all the Registered Owners
and any Counterparties. Section
6.05 Appointment of Receiver. In case an Event of Default occurs, and if all of
the Outstanding Obligations shall have been declared due and payable and in case
any judicial proceedings are commenced to enforce any right of the Trustee or of
the Registered Owners or of any Counterparties under this Indenture or
otherwise, then as a matter of right, the Trustee shall be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver of the Trust Estate and of the earnings, income or
revenue, rents, issues and profits thereof with such powers as the court making
such appointments may confer. Section
6.06 Restoration of Position. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any rights under this Indenture by sale or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued, or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case to the extent not
inconsistent with such adverse decree, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registered
Owners and any Counterparties shall be restored to their former respective
positions and the rights hereunder in respect to the Trust Estate, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and of the Registered Owners and of
any Counterparties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. Section
6.07 Purchase of Properties by Trustee or Registered Owners or Counterparties.
In case of any such sale of the Trust Estate, any Registered Owner or Registered
Owners or committee of Registered Owners or Counterparty or Counterparties or
committee of Counterparties or the Trustee, may bid for and purchase such
property and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain possession
and dispose of such property as the absolute right of the purchaser or
purchasers without further accountability and shall be entitled, for the purpose
of making any settlement or payment for the property purchased, to use and apply
any Obligations hereby secured and any interest thereon due and unpaid, by
presenting such Obligations in order that there may be credited thereon the sum
apportionable and applicable thereto out of the net proceeds of such sale, and
thereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall be credited on account of such
purchase price payable to him or them with the sum apportionable and applicable
out of such net proceeds to the payment of or as a credit on the Obligations so
presented. Section
6.08 Application of Sale Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the Trust Estate,
together with any funds at the time held by the Trustee and not otherwise
appropriated, shall be applied by the Trustee as set forth in Section 6.02
hereof, and then to the Issuer or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. Section
6.09 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default
should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the
Registered Owners of Obligations representing not less than 51% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations may declare all the
Outstanding Obligations to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Registered Owners), and
upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Outstanding
Obligations, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date
of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable, subject, however, to
Section 6.04 of this Indenture. At
any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VI provided, the Registered Owners of
Obligations representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest
Priority Obligations, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto. Section
6.10 Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee or the Registered Owners (excluding the Sponsor) of Obligations or
any Counterparties are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but
each remedy herein provided shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing, and every power
and remedy hereby given to the Trustee or to the Registered Owners of
Obligations or any Counterparties, or any supplement hereto, may be exercised
from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Registered Owner of Obligations or any Counterparties to
exercise any power or right arising from any default hereunder shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
to be acquiescence therein.
Section 6.11 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Issuer covenants that if: then the Issuer will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Registered
Owners, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and
premium, if any) and for the benefit of any Counterparties, the whole amount
when due and payable under the Derivative Product Agreements and interest, with
interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue
installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for
in such Notes (or as provided in the Derivative Product Agreements, as
applicable), and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and its agents and counsel. If
the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in
its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, may upon receiving
indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee institute a judicial proceeding for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any
other obligor upon such Notes of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or
decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Issuer or any other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated. If
an Event of Default with respect to Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may, after being indemnified to its satisfaction and in its discretion, proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Registered Owners of
Notes and any related coupons and of the Counterparties by such appropriate
judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. Section
6.12 Direction of Trustee. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, the
Registered Owners of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest
Priority Obligations, shall have the right by an instrument or instruments in
writing delivered to the Trustee to direct and control the Trustee as to the
method of taking any and all proceedings for any sale of any or all of the Trust
Estate, or for the appointment of a receiver, if permitted by law, and may at
any time cause any proceedings authorized by the terms hereof to be so taken or
to be discontinued or delayed; provided, however, that such Registered Owners
shall not be entitled to cause the Trustee to take any proceedings which in the
Trustee's opinion would be unjustly prejudicial to non-assenting Registered
Owners of Obligations or the Counterparties, but the Trustee shall be entitled
to assume that the action requested by the Registered Owners and any
Counterparties of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority
Obligations will not be prejudicial to any non-assenting Registered Owners or
the Counterparties unless the Registered Owners and any Counterparties of more
than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the non-assenting Registered Owners of
such Obligations and the Counterparties, in writing, show the Trustee how they
will be prejudiced. Provided, however, that anything in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Registered Owners of a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations together with the Registered Owners
of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all other Obligations shall have the
right, at any time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and
delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all
proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or any other
proceedings hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than
in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture. The provisions
of this Section 6.12 shall be expressly subject to the provisions of Sections
7.01(c), 7.05 and 7.07 hereof. Section
6.13 Right to Enforce in Trustee. No Registered Owner of any Obligation shall
have any right as such Registered Owner to institute any suit, action or
proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture or for the
execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment of a receiver or for any
other remedy hereunder, all rights of action hereunder being vested exclusively
in the Trustee, unless and until such Registered Owner shall have previously
given to the Trustee written notice of a default hereunder, and of the
continuance thereof, and also unless the Registered Owners of the requisite
principal amount of the Obligations then Outstanding shall have made written
request upon the Trustee and the Trustee shall have been afforded reasonable
opportunity to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name, and
unless the Trustee shall have been offered indemnity and security satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, which offer of indemnity shall be an express condition precedent
hereunder to any obligation of the Trustee to take any such action hereunder,
and the Trustee for 30 days after receipt of such notification, request and
offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding. It is understood and intended that no one or more Registered Owners
of the Obligations shall have the right in any manner whatever by his or their
action to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture or to enforce
any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided and for the equal
benefit of the Registered Owners of not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Obligations. Section
6.14 Physical Possession of Obligations Not Required. In any suit or action by
the Trustee arising under this Indenture or on all or any of the Obligations
issued hereunder, or any supplement hereto, the Trustee shall not be required to
produce such Obligations, but shall be entitled in all things to maintain such
suit or action without their production. Section
6.15 Waivers of Events of Default. The Trustee may in its discretion waive any
Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of
acceleration of Obligations, and shall do so upon the written request of the
Registered Owners (excluding the Sponsor) of at least a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations; provided, however, that
there shall not be waived (a) any Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of or premium on any Outstanding Obligations at the date of maturity
thereof, or any default in the payment when due of the interest on any such
Obligations, unless prior to such waiver or rescission, all arrears of interest
or all arrears of payments of principal and all expenses of the Trustee, in
connection with such default shall have been paid or provided for; or (b) any
default in the payment of amounts set forth in Sections 7.05 and 7.07 hereof. In
case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any proceedings taken by the
Trustee on account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned
or determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Registered Owners of Obligations and the Counterparties
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively,
but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to or affect any subsequent or
other default, or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon. ARTICLE VII Section
7.01 Acceptance of Trust. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it
by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject
to the following terms and conditions: Section
7.02 Recitals of Others. The recitals, statements and representations set forth
herein and in the Notes shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the title of the Issuer in the Trust Estate or as
to the security afforded thereby and hereby, or as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes issued hereunder, and the Trustee
shall incur no responsibility in respect of such matters. Section
7.03 As to Filing of Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty (a) to file
or record, or cause to be filed or recorded, this Indenture or any instrument
supplemental hereto, (b) or to procure any further order or additional
instruments of further assurance, (c) to see to the delivery to it of any
personal property intended to be mortgaged or pledged hereunder or thereunder,
(d) or to do any act which may be suitable to be done for the better maintenance
of the lien or security hereof (other than the filing of any continuation (but
not initial) statements), or (e) for giving notice of the existence of such
lien, or for extending or supplementing the same or to see that any rights to
the Trust Estate and Funds intended now or hereafter to be transferred in trust
hereunder are subject to the lien hereof. The Trustee shall not be liable for
failure of the Issuer to pay any tax or taxes in respect of such property, or
any part thereof, or the income therefrom or otherwise, nor shall the Trustee be
under any duty in respect of any tax which may be assessed against it or the
Registered Owners or the Counterparties in respect of such property or pledged
to the Trust Estate. The Issuer agrees to prepare or have prepared, and to
request that the Trustee execute (if such execution is necessary for any such
filing) and, at the Issuer's expense, to file or have filed in a timely
manner (if received from the Issuer in a timely manner), the continuation
statements referred to herein. Section
7.04 Trustee May Act Through Agents. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts
or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder, either itself or by or through
its attorneys, agents, custodians or employees, and it shall not be answerable,
responsible or accountable for any default, neglect or misconduct of any such
attorneys, agents, custodians or employees appointed with due care by the
Trustee. All reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee and all reasonable
compensation to all such persons as may reasonably be employed in connection
with the trusts hereof shall be paid by the Issuer. Section
7.05 Indemnification of Trustee. Other than with respect to its duties to make
payment on the Obligations when due, and its duty to pursue the remedy of
acceleration as provided in Sections 6.02 and 6.09 hereof, for each of which no
additional security or indemnity may be required, the Trustee shall be under no
obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action under
this Indenture or to perform any act at the request of Registered Owners or to
institute or defend any suit in respect thereof unless properly indemnified and
provided with security to its satisfaction as provided in Section 7.01(c)
hereof. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice, or be deemed to have
knowledge, of any default or Event of Default of the Issuer hereunder and may
conclusively assume that there has been no such default or Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof)
unless and until it shall have been specifically notified in writing at the
address in Section 9.01 hereof of such default or Event of Default by (a) the
Registered Owners or the Counterparties of the required percentages in principal
amount of the Obligations then Outstanding hereinabove specified or (b) an
Authorized Representative of the Issuer. However, the Trustee may begin suit, or
appear in and defend suit, execute any of the trusts hereby created, enforce any
of its rights or powers hereunder, or do anything else in its judgment proper to
be done by it as Trustee, without assurance of reimbursement or indemnity, and
in such case the Trustee shall be reimbursed or indemnified by the Registered
Owners or the Counterparties requesting such action, if any, or the Issuer in
all other cases, for all fees, costs and expenses, liabilities, outlays and
counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements properly incurred in connection
therewith, unless such costs and expenses, liabilities, outlays and
attorneys' fees and other reasonable disbursements properly incurred in
connection therewith are adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Trustee. In furtherance and not in limitation of this
Section 7.05, the Trustee shall not be liable for, and shall be held harmless by
the Issuer from, following any Issuer Orders, instructions or other directions
upon which the Trustee is authorized to rely pursuant to this Indenture or any
other agreement to which it is a party. If the Issuer or the Registered Owners
or the Counterparties, as appropriate, shall fail to make such reimbursement or
indemnification, the Trustee may reimburse itself from any money in its
possession under the provisions of this Indenture (a) except during the
continuance of an Event of Default, subject only to the prior lien of the Notes
for the payment of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon
from the Collection Fund and (b) during the continuance of an Event of Default
in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. None of the provisions contained in this
Indenture or any other Agreement to which it is a party shall require the
Trustee to act or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur individual
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if the Registered Owners or the Counterparties
shall not have offered security and indemnity acceptable to it or if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that prompt repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. The
Issuer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder arising from the Trust
Estate. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any
and all claims, demands, suits, actions or other proceedings and all
liabilities, costs and expenses whatsoever caused by any untrue statement or
misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged misleading statement
of a material fact contained in any offering document distributed in connection
with the issuance of the Notes or caused by any omission or alleged omission
from such offering document of any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements made therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Section
7.06 Trustee's Right to Reliance. The Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, appraisal, opinion, report or document of the Issuer or the
Servicer or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the Trustee shall
be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any
such instance, paper or document, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence
of the truth and accuracy of such statement. Before acting or refraining from
acting in the administration hereof, the Trustee may consult with experts and
with counsel (who may but need not be counsel for the Issuer, the Trustee, or
for a Registered Owner or for a Counterparty), and the opinion of such counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken, omitted to be taken or suffered, and in respect of any determination made
by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such
counsel. Whenever in the
administration hereof the Trustee shall reasonably deem it desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a
certificate signed by an Authorized Representative of the Issuer or an
authorized officer of the Issuer Administrator or the Servicer. Whenever in the
administration hereof the Trustee is directed to comply with an Issuer Order,
the Trustee will be entitled to act in reliance upon such Issuer Order. The
Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any covenants, conditions, or agreements on the part of the Issuer
or any Servicer but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or any Servicer full
information and advice as to the performance of any covenants, conditions or
agreements pertaining to Financed Eligible Loans. The
Trustee shall not be answerable for other then its negligence or willful
misconduct and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by
it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it hereby, or in an error of judgment made in
good faith; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be liable for its
negligence or willful misconduct. The
permissive right of the Trustee to take action under or otherwise do things
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty. The
Trustee is authorized to enter into agreements with other Persons, in its
capacity as Trustee, in order to carry out or implement the terms and provisions
of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with this
Indenture or any other transaction document or at the direction of the
Registered Owners or Counterparties evidencing the appropriate percentage of the
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Indenture or any other transaction document. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith
on the direction of the Registered Owners of a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations as to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or the
exercising any power conferred by this Indenture. The
Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts. The
Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any default (except an Event of Nonpayment) or Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of Trustee shall have received written notice or
obtained actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or
actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default
or Event of Default. The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not assured to it. Section
7.07 Compensation of Trustee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
advances, counsel fees (including without limitation allocated fees of in-house
counsel) and other expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Trustee in and
about the execution and administration of the trust hereby created and
reasonable compensation to the Trustee for its services in the premises shall be
paid by the Issuer. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited to or
by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of trustees of an express
trust. The Trustee shall not change the amount of its annual compensation
without giving the Issuer at least 90 days' written notice prior to the
beginning of a Fiscal Year. If not paid by the Issuer, the Trustee shall have a
lien against all money held pursuant to this Indenture (a) except during the
continuance of an Event of Default, subject only to the prior lien of the
Obligations against the money and investments in the Collection Fund for the
payment of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon, and (b)
during the continuance of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 6.02,
for such reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and counsel fees incurred
in and about the execution of the trusts hereby created and the exercise and
performance of the powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder and the cost and
expense incurred in defending against any liability in the premises of any
character whatsoever (unless such liability is adjudicated to have resulted from
the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee).
Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall
the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of
any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action. Section
7.08 Trustee May Own Notes. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein. The Trustee hereunder, or any successor Trustee, in
its individual or other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer, with the same rights it would have if it
were not the Trustee. The Trustee may act as Depository for, and permit any of
its officers or directors to act as a member of, or act in any other capacity in
respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of the Registered Owners
and Counterparties or to effect or aid in any reorganization growing out of the
enforcement of the Notes or of this Indenture, whether or not any such committee
shall represent the Registered Owners of more than 60% of the Outstanding Amount
of the Outstanding Obligations. Section
7.09 Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee and any successor to the Trustee may
resign and be discharged from the trust created by this Indenture by giving to
the Issuer notice in writing which notice shall specify the date on which such
resignation is to take effect; provided, however, that such resignation shall
only take effect on the day specified in such notice if a successor Trustee
shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 7.11 hereof (and is qualified to
be the Trustee under the requirements of Section 7.11 hereof). If no successor
Trustee has been appointed by the date specified or within a period of 90 days
from the receipt of the notice by the Issuer, whichever period is longer, the
Trustee may (a) appoint a temporary successor Trustee having the qualifications
provided in Section 7.11 hereof or (b) request a court of competent jurisdiction
to (i) require the Issuer to appoint a successor, as provided in Section 7.11
hereof, within three days of the receipt of citation or notice by the court, or
(ii) appoint a Trustee having the qualifications provided in Section 7.11
hereof. In no event may the resignation of the Trustee be effective until a
qualified successor Trustee shall have been selected and appointed. In the event
a temporary successor Trustee is appointed pursuant to (a) above, the Issuer may
remove such temporary successor Trustee and appoint a successor thereto pursuant
to Section 7.11 hereof. Section
7.10 Removal of Trustee. The Trustee or any successor Trustee may be removed (a)
at any time by the Registered Owners of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
Notes which are the Highest Priority Obligations, (b) by the Issuer
Administrator for cause or upon the sale or other disposition of the Trustee or
its corporate trust functions or (c) by the Issuer Administrator without cause
so long as no Event of Default exists or has existed within the last 30 days,
upon payment to the Trustee so removed of all money then due to it hereunder and
appointment of a successor thereto by the Issuer and acceptance thereof by said
successor. One copy of any such order of removal shall be filed with the
Delaware Trustee and the other with the Trustee so removed. In
the event a Trustee (or successor Trustee) is removed, by any person or for any
reason permitted hereunder, such removal shall not become effective until (a) in
the case of removal by the Registered Owners, such Registered Owners by
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing (signed and acknowledged by such
Registered Owners or their attorneys-in-fact) filed with the Trustee removed
have appointed a successor Trustee or otherwise the Issuer shall have appointed
a successor, and (b) the successor Trustee has accepted appointment as such.
Section
7.11 Successor Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee or any successor Trustee
shall resign, be dissolved, or otherwise shall be disqualified to act or be
incapable of acting, or in case control of the Trustee or of any successor
Trustee or of its officers shall be taken over by any public officer or
officers, a successor Trustee may be appointed by the Issuer Administrator by an
instrument in writing duly authorized by the Issuer Administrator. In the case
of any such appointment by the Issuer Administrator of a successor to the
Trustee, the Issuer Administrator shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be
mailed to the Registered Owners of the Notes at the address of each Registered
Owner appearing on the note registration books maintained by the Registrar and
to each Counterparty at the addresses specified in the applicable Derivative
Product Agreement.
Every successor Trustee
appointed by the Registered Owners, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or by
the Issuer Administrator shall be a bank or trust company in good standing,
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state
therein, which has a reported capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000,
be authorized under the law to exercise corporate trust powers, be subject to
supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, and be an Eligible
Lender so long as such designation is necessary to maintain guarantees and
federal benefits under the Act with respect to the Financed Eligible Loans
originated under the Act. Section
7.12 Manner of Vesting Title in Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed
hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee, and
also to the Issuer, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance
shall become fully vested with all the estate, properties, rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors in trust hereunder (except
that the predecessor Trustee shall continue to have the benefits to
indemnification hereunder together with the successor Trustee), with like effect
as if originally named as Trustee herein; but the Trustee ceasing to act shall
nevertheless, on the written request of an Authorized Representative of the
Issuer, or an authorized officer of the successor Trustee, execute, acknowledge
and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of
the Trustee which it succeeds, in and to the Trust Estate and such rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations, and the Trustee ceasing to act also,
upon like request, pay over, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any
money or other property or rights subject to the lien of this Indenture,
including any pledged securities which may then be in its possession. Should any
deed or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the successor
Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such new
Trustee such estate, properties, rights, powers and duties, any and all such
deeds and instruments in writing shall on request be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Issuer. In
case any of the Notes to be issued hereunder shall have been authenticated but
not delivered, any successor Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication
of the Trustee or of any successor to the Trustee; and in case any of the Notes
shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate
such Notes in its own name; and in all such cases such certificate shall have
the full force which it has anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture.
Section
7.13 Additional Covenants by the Trustee to Conform to the Act. The Trustee
covenants that it will at all times be an Eligible Lender under the Act so long
as such designation is necessary, as determined by the Issuer, to maintain the
guarantees and federal benefits under the Act with respect to the Financed
Eligible Loans, that it will acquire Eligible Loans originated under the Act in
its capacity as an Eligible Lender and that it will not knowingly dispose of or
deliver any Financed Eligible Loans originated under the Act or any security
interest in any such Financed Eligible Loans to any party who is not an Eligible
Lender so long as the Act or Regulations adopted thereunder require an Eligible
Lender to be the owner or holder of such Financed Eligible Loans; provided,
however, that nothing above shall prevent the Trustee from delivering the
Eligible Loans to the Servicer or the Guaranty Agency. Section
7.14 Right of Inspection. Any Registered Owner or Counterparty shall be
permitted at reasonable times during regular business hours and in accordance
with reasonable regulations prescribed by the Trustee to examine at the
Principal Office of the Trustee a copy of any report or instrument theretofore
filed with the Trustee relating to the condition of the Trust Estate. Section
7.15 Limitation with Respect to Examination of Reports. Except as provided in
this Indenture, the Trustee shall be under no duty to examine any report or
statement or other document required or permitted to be filed with it by the
Issuer or any Servicer, and the Trustee may accept the same as conclusive
evidence of the truth and accuracy of any statement contained therein or as to
the existence or non-existence of any facts stated therein. Section
7.16 Servicing Administration Agreement. The Trustee acknowledges the receipt of
a copy of the Servicing Administration Agreement and, upon receipt thereof, upon
request the Trustee shall acknowledge the receipt of a copy of any Servicing
Agreement. Section
7.17 Additional Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee, by the execution hereof,
covenants, represents and agrees that: Section
7.18 Duty of Trustee with Respect to Rating Agencies. It shall be the duty of
the Issuer to notify each Rating Agency then rating any of the Notes (but the
Trustee shall incur no liability for any failure to do so) of (a) any change,
expiration, extension or renewal of this Indenture, (b) prepayment or defeasance
of all the Notes, (c) any change in the Trustee or (d) any other information
reasonably required to be reported to each Rating Agency under any Supplemental
Indenture; provided, however, the provisions of this Section do not apply when
such documents have been previously supplied to such Rating Agency and the
Trustee has received written evidence to such effect, all as may be required by
this Indenture. All notices required to be forwarded to the Rating Agencies
under this Section shall be sent in writing at the following addresses: The Trustee also
acknowledges that each Rating Agency's periodic review for maintenance of a
Rating on any series of the Notes may involve discussions and/or meetings with
representatives of the Trustee at mutually agreeable times and places. Section
7.19 Merger of the Trustee, Etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be
merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, or any Affiliate of the Trustee to which all or a
portion of its corporate trust business is transferred, shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or Affiliate shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Indenture, without the execution or
filing of any paper of any further act on the part of any other parties hereto. Section
7.20 Receipt of Funds from Servicer. The Trustee shall not be accountable or
responsible in any manner whatsoever for any action of the Issuer, the Issuer
Administrator, the Depository bank of any funds of the Issuer, or the Servicer
while the Servicer is acting as bailee or agent of the Trustee with respect to
the Eligible Loans for actions taken in compliance with any instruction or
direction given to the Trustee, or for the application of funds or moneys by the
Servicer until such time as funds are received by the Trustee. Section
7.21 Special Circumstances Leading to Resignation of Trustee. Because the
Trustee serves as trustee hereunder for Obligations of different priorities, it
is possible that circumstances may arise which will cause the Trustee to resign
from its position as trustee for one or more of the Obligations. In the event
that the Trustee makes a determination that it should so resign, due to the
occurrence of an Event of Default or potential default hereunder, or otherwise,
the Issuer may permit such resignation as to one or more of the Obligations or
request the Trustee's resignation as to all Obligations, as the Issuer may
elect. If the Issuer should determine that a conflict of interest has arisen as
to the trusteeship of any of the Obligations, it may authorize and execute a
Supplemental Indenture with one or more successor Trustees, under which the
administration of certain of the Obligations would be separated from the
administration of the other Obligations. Section
7.22 Survival of Trustee's Rights to Receive Compensation, Reimbursement
and Indemnification. The Trustee's rights to receive compensation,
reimbursement and indemnification of money due and owing hereunder at the time
of the Trustee's resignation or removal shall survive the Trustee's
resignation or removal. Section
7.23 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests. There shall
at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee
under TIA Section 310(a)(1), shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and be an "eligible lender" under the Act. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.23,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.23, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VII.
Neither the Issuer nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by, or under common control with, the Issuer shall serve as Trustee. Section
7.24 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or
any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal
of the Notes of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have
made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if
any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:
Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Registered Owner of a Note any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any
Registered Owner thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Registered Owner of a Note in any such proceeding. In
any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be
a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Registered Owners of
the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Registered Owners of the
Notes parties to any such proceedings. Section
7.25 Determination of LIBOR. On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine each applicable rate of LIBOR as set forth in the definition of
Three-Month LIBOR and shall advise the Issuer Administrator and the Verification
Agent of each such determination. ARTICLE VIII Section
8.01 Supplemental Indentures Not Requiring Consent of Registered Owners or
Counterparties. The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of or notice
to any of the Registered Owners of any Obligations or any Counterparty, enter
into any indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture for any one or
more of the following purposes: provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall permit, or be construed as permitting, any
modification of the trusts, powers, rights, duties, remedies, immunities and
privileges of the Trustee without the prior written approval of the Trustee,
which approval shall be evidenced by execution of a Supplemental Indenture. Section
8.02 Supplemental Indentures Requiring Consent of Registered Owners and
Counterparties. (a) Registered Owners of Notes. Exclusive of Supplemental
Indentures covered by Section 8.01 hereof and subject to the terms and
provisions contained in this Section, and not otherwise, the Registered Owners
of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have
the right, from time to time, to consent to and approve the execution by the
Issuer and the Trustee of such other indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
as shall be deemed necessary and desirable by the Trustee for the purpose of
modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any
of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture or in any Supplemental
Indenture; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall permit, or be
construed as permitting (a) without the consent of the Registered Owners of all
then Outstanding Notes, (i) an extension of the maturity date of the principal
of or the interest on any Note, or (ii) a reduction in the principal amount of
any Obligation or the rate of interest thereon, or (iii) a privilege or priority
of any Note or Notes over any other Note or Notes except as otherwise provided
herein, or (iv) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
required for consent to such Supplemental Indenture, or (v) the creation of any
lien other than a lien ratably securing all of the Notes at any time Outstanding
hereunder except as otherwise provided herein; or (b) any modification of the
trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges
of the Trustee without the prior written approval of the Trustee. Section
8.03 Additional Limitation on Modification of Indenture. None of the provisions
of this Indenture (including Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof) shall permit an
amendment to the provisions of this Indenture which permits the transfer of all
or part of the Financed Eligible Loans originated under the Act or granting of a
security interest therein to any Person other than an Eligible Lender or the
Servicer, unless the Act or Regulations are hereafter modified so as to permit
the same. The Trustee may request an opinion of counsel to the effect that an
amendment or supplement to this Indenture was adopted in conformance with this
Indenture. Section
8.04 Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default
hereunder with respect to the Notes, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner
and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest with respect to any Note,
or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Notes, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as an
authorized officer of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Registered Owners of the Notes. For the
purpose of this Section 8.04, the term "default" means any event which
is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes. Section
8.05 Conformity with the Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article VIII shall conform to the requirements of the
Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. ARTICLE IX Section
9.01 Notices. Any notice, request or other instrument required by this Indenture
to be signed or executed by the Registered Owners or Counterparties may be
executed by the execution of any number of concurrent instruments of similar
tenor, and may be signed or executed by such Registered Owners or Counterparties
in person or by agent appointed in writing. As a condition for acting thereunder
the Trustee may demand proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the
fact that any person claiming to be the owner of any of said Obligations is such
owner and may further require the actual deposit of such Obligation or
Obligations with the Trustee. The fact and date of the execution of such
instrument may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction
who by the laws thereof is authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds within
such jurisdiction, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged before
him the execution thereof, or may be proved by any affidavit of a witness to
such execution sworn to before such officer. The
amount of Notes held by any person executing such instrument as a Registered
Owner of Notes and the fact, amount and numbers of the Notes held by such person
and the date of his holding the same may be proved by a certificate executed by
any responsible trust company, bank, banker or other Depository in a form
approved by the Trustee, showing that at the date therein mentioned such person
had on deposit with such Depository the Notes described in such certificate;
provided, however, that at all times the Trustee may require the actual deposit
of such Note or Notes with the Trustee. All
notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in
writing (including bank wire, telecopy or facsimile or similar writing) at the
following addresses, and each address shall constitute each party's respective
"Principal Office" for purposes of this Indenture: Any
party may change the address to which subsequent notices to such party are to be
sent, or of its Principal Office, by notice to the others, delivered by hand or
received by telex or facsimile or registered first-class mail, postage prepaid.
Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective when
delivered by hand or received by facsimile or registered first-class mail,
postage prepaid. Section
9.02 Covenants Bind Issuer. The covenants, agreements, conditions, promises, and
undertakings in this Indenture shall extend to and be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Issuer, and all of the covenants hereof shall bind
such successors and assigns, and each of them, jointly and severally. All the
covenants, conditions and provisions hereof shall be held to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and of
the Registered Owners from time to time of the Obligations and of the
Counterparties. No
extension of time of payment of any of the Obligations shall operate to release
or discharge the Issuer, it being agreed that the liability of the Issuer, to
the extent permitted by law, shall continue until all of the Obligations are
paid in full, notwithstanding any transfer of Financed Eligible Loans or
extension of time for payment. Section
9.03 Lien Created. This Indenture shall operate effectually as (a) a grant of
lien on and security interest in, and (b) an assignment of, the Trust Estate. Section
9.04 Severability of Lien. If the lien of this Indenture shall be or shall ever
become ineffectual, invalid or unenforceable against any part of the Trust
Estate, which is not subject to the lien, because of want of power or title in
the Issuer, the inclusion of any such part shall not in any way affect or
invalidate the pledge and lien hereof against such part of the Trust Estate as
to which the Issuer in fact had the right to pledge. Section
9.05 Consent of Registered Owners and Counterparties Binds Successors. Any
request or a consent of the Registered Owner or Counterparty of any Obligations
given for any of the purposes of this Indenture shall bind all future Registered
Owners or Counterparties of the same Obligation or any Obligations issued in
exchange therefor or in substitution thereof in respect of anything done or
suffered by the Issuer or the Trustee in pursuance of such request or consent. Section
9.06 Nonliability of Persons; No General Obligation. It is hereby expressly made
a condition of this Indenture that any agreements, covenants or representations
herein contained or contained in the Notes do not and shall never constitute or
give rise to a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the organizers,
officers, employees, agents or trustees or the Issuer Administrator of the
Issuer, or against the general credit of the Issuer, and in the event of a
breach of any such agreement, covenant or representation, no personal or
pecuniary liability or charge payable directly or indirectly from the general
revenues of the Issuer shall arise therefrom. Nothing contained in this Section,
however, shall relieve the Issuer from the observance and performance of the
several covenants and agreements on its part herein contained. Section
9.07 Nonpresentment of Notes or Interest Checks. Should any of the Notes or
interest checks not be presented for payment when due, the Trustee shall retain
from any money transferred to it for the purpose of paying the Notes or interest
checks so due, for the benefit of the Registered Owners thereof, a sum of money
sufficient to pay such Notes or interest checks when the same are presented by
the Registered Owners thereof for payment. Such money shall not be required to
be invested. All liability of the Issuer to the Registered Owners of such Notes
or interest checks and all rights of such Registered Owners against the Issuer
under the Notes or interest checks or under this Indenture shall thereupon cease
and determine, and the sole right of such Registered Owners shall thereafter be
against such deposit. If any Note or interest check shall not be presented for
payment within the period of two years following its payment or prepayment date,
the Trustee shall return to the Issuer the money theretofore held by it for
payment of such Note or interest check, and such Note or interest check shall
(subject to the defense of any applicable statute of limitation) thereafter be
an unsecured obligation of the Issuer. The Trustee's responsibility for any
such money shall cease upon remittance thereof to the Issuer. Section
9.08 Security Agreement. This Indenture constitutes a Financing Statement and a
Security Agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of New York
and Delaware. Section
9.09 Laws Governing. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Indenture
shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of New York. This
Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part
of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such
provisions. Section
9.10 Severability. Of any covenant, agreement, waiver, or part thereof in this
Indenture contained be forbidden by any pertinent law or under any pertinent law
be effective to render this Indenture invalid or unenforceable or to impair the
lien hereof, then each such covenant, agreement, waiver, or part thereof shall
itself be and is hereby declared to be wholly ineffective, and this Indenture
shall be construed as if the same were not included herein. Section
9.11 Exhibits. The terms of the Annexes and Exhibits, if any, attached to this
Indenture are incorporated herein in all particulars. Section
9.12 Non-Business Days. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, if the date
for taking any action hereunder is not a Business Day, then such action can be
taken on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if
taken on such required date. Section
9.13 Parties Interested Herein. Nothing in this Indenture expressed or implied
is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person or
entity, other than the Trustee, Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee,
the paying agent, if any, and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties, any
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture or any covenant,
condition or stipulation hereof, and all covenants, stipulations, promises and
agreements in this Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Issuer shall be
for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee, the paying agent, if any, the
Eligible Lender Trustee and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties. Section
9.14 Obligations Are Limited Obligations. The Notes and the obligations of the
Issuer contained in this Indenture are special, limited obligations of the
Issuer, secured by and payable solely from the Trust Estate herein provided. The
Issuer shall not be obligated to pay the Notes, the interest thereon, or any
other obligation created by or arising from this Indenture from any other
source. Section
9.15 Counterparty Rights. Other than rights to receive payments hereunder and as
set forth in Section 8.02 hereof, no Counterparty which shall be in default
under any Derivative Product Agreement with the Issuer shall have any of the
rights granted to the Counterparty hereunder. A Counterparty which is in default
under any Derivative Product Agreement shall however, continue to maintain all
obligations undertaken by it under the terms of its Derivative Product
Agreement. Section
9.16 Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Registered Owners. Registered Owners
of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agree with the Issuer and the
Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Securities Depository
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to
the names and addresses of the Registered Owners of Notes in accordance with TIA
Section 312, regardless of the source from which such information was derived,
and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any
material pursuant to a request made under TIA Section 312(b). Section
9.17 Aggregate Principal Amount of Obligations. Whenever in this Indenture
reference is made to the aggregate principal amount of any Obligations, such
phrase shall mean, at any time, the principal amount of any Notes and the
Derivative Value of any Derivative Product Agreement. Section
9.18 Financed Eligible Loans. The Issuer expects to acquire a beneficial
interest in trust in Eligible Loans and to transfer such interest in Eligible
Loans to the Trustee, in accordance with this Indenture, which Eligible Loans,
upon becoming subject to the lien of this Indenture, constitute Financed
Eligible Loans, as defined herein. If for any reason a Financed Eligible Loan
does not constitute an Eligible Loan, or ceases to constitute an Eligible Loan,
such loan shall continue to be subject to the lien of this Indenture as a
Financed Eligible Loan. Section
9.19 Concerning the Delaware Trustee. It is expressly understood and agreed by
the parties to this Indenture and the Registered Owners and any Counterparties
that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered by the Delaware Trustee not in
its individual or personal capacity but solely in its capacity as Delaware
Trustee under the Trust Agreement on behalf of the Issuer, in the exercise of
the powers and authority conferred and vested in it as Delaware Trustee under
the Trust Agreement, subject to the protections, indemnities and limitations
from liability afforded to the Delaware Trustee thereunder; (b) the
representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations
by the Delaware Trustee are made and intended not as personal representations,
warranties, covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations by Wilmington
Trust Company, but are made and intended for the purpose of only binding the
Trust Estate, as defined in the Trust Agreement, and the Issuer; (c) nothing
contained herein shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington
Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any expressed or implied
covenant, duty or obligation of any kind whatsoever contained herein; and (d)
under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for
the payment of any fees, costs, indebtedness or expenses of any kind whatsoever
or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation,
representation, agreement, warranty or covenant whatsoever made or undertaken by
the Delaware Trustee or Issuer hereunder. ARTICLE X Section
10.01 Trust Irrevocable. The trust created by the terms and provisions of this
Indenture is irrevocable until the indebtedness secured hereby (the Notes and
interest thereon) and all Issuer Derivative Payments and Termination Payments
are fully paid or provision made for its payment as provided in this Article.
Section 10.02 Satisfaction of Indenture. Section
10.03 Optional Purchase of All Financed Eligible Loans. The Issuer Administrator
shall certify to and notify the Sponsor and the Trustee in writing, within 15
days after the last Business Day of each Collection Period in which the then
outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, of the
percentage that the then outstanding Pool Balance bears to the Initial Pool
Balance. The Sponsor shall have the option to purchase all of the remaining
Financed Eligible Loans on the date (the "Optional Purchase Date")
that is the tenth (10th) Business Day preceding the Quarterly Distribution Date
next succeeding the date on which the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or
less of the Initial Pool Balance. To exercise such option, the Sponsor shall
deposit in the Collection Fund on the Optional Purchase Date, an amount equal to
the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Financed Eligible Loans and the related
rights with respect thereto, plus the appraised value of any such other property
held by the Trust other than the Funds and Accounts, such value to be determined
by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Sponsor and the Trustee; provided,
however, that the Sponsor may not effect such purchase if such aggregate
Purchase Amounts do not equal or exceed the Minimum Purchase Amount. Section
10.04 Auction of Financed Eligible Loans. If the Sponsor does not exercise its
option to purchase all of the remaining Financed Eligible Loans pursuant to
Section 10.03, the Trustee (or its designated agent) shall, promptly after the
Business Day next succeeding the Optional Purchase Date, offer for sale all of
the remaining Financed Eligible Loans, and any such sale shall be consummated on
or before such Quarterly Distribution Date (the "Trust Auction Date").
The Trustee shall provide written notice to the Sponsor of any such offer for
sale at least three Business Days in advance of the Trust Auction Date. College
Loan Corporation and its Affiliates and third parties may offer to purchase the
trust's Student Loans in such auction. If at least two bids are received,
the Trustee (or its designated agent) shall solicit and resolicit new bids from
all participating bidders until only one bid remains or the remaining bidders
decline to resubmit bids. The Trustee shall accept the highest of such remaining
bids if it is equal to or in excess of both (i) the Minimum Purchase Amount and
(ii) the fair market value of such Financed Eligible Loans as of the end of the
Collection Period immediately preceding the Trust Auction Date. If at least two
bids are not received or the highest bid after the resolicitation process is
completed is not equal to or in excess of the higher of the amounts described in
the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall not consummate such sale. The Trustee
may consult, and, at the direction of the Sponsor, shall consult, with a
financial advisor, including an underwriter of the Notes or the Issuer
Administrator, to determine if the fair market value of the Financed Eligible
Loans has been offered. The proceeds of any such sale will be applied to the
redemption of all Notes Outstanding in accordance with Section 5.03(e) hereof.
Unless requested by the Issuer Administrator, if the sale is not completed, the
Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, solicit bids for sale of the Financed
Eligible Loans with respect to future Quarterly Distribution Dates upon terms
similar to those described above. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such
solicitations, however, if requested to do so by the Issuer Administrator.
Notice of the prepayment of any Obligations resulting from a purchase of the
Financed Eligible Loans on the Optional Purchase Date or the auction of the
Financed Eligible Loans on the Trust Auction Date, shall be given by the Trustee
to the Registered Owners and any Counterparties by first-class mail within five
Business Days of such Optional Purchase Date or Trust Auction Date. [Remainder of This Page Intentionally Left Blank] IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Indenture to be executed in its
organizational name and behalf by its Delaware Trustee, and the Trustee, to
evidence its acceptance of the trusts hereby created, has caused this Indenture
to be executed in its organizational name and behalf, all in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and the Issuer and the
Trustee have caused this Indenture to be dated as of the date herein above first
shown. Agreed and accepted: EXHIBIT A This Eligible Loan
Acquisition Certificate is submitted pursuant to the provisions of
Section 5.02 of the Indenture of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2005, as
amended (the "Indenture"), between College Loan Corporation Trust
2005-2 (the "Issuer") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Trustee and as
Eligible Lender Trustee. All capitalized terms used in this Certificate and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the
Indenture. In your capacity as Trustee, you are hereby authorized and requested
to disburse to _________________ (the "Seller") the sum of
$____________ (or, in the case of an exchange, the Eligible Loans listed in
Annex 1 hereto) for the acquisition of Eligible Loans. With respect to the
Eligible Loans so to be acquired, the Issuer hereby certifies as follows: 1.
The Eligible Loans to be acquired are those specified in Annex 1 attached hereto
(the "Acquired Eligible Loans"). The remaining unpaid principal amount of each
Acquired Eligible Loan is as shown on such Annex 1. 2.
The amount to be disbursed pursuant to this Certificate does not exceed the
amount permitted by Sections 5.02 of the Indenture, including a premium of not
to exceed ____%, plus accrued interest. 3.
Each Acquired Eligible Loan is an Eligible Loan authorized so to be acquired by
the Indenture. 4.
You have been previously, or are herewith, provided with the following items
(the items listed in (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) have been received and are being
retained, on your behalf, by the Issuer or the Servicer): 5.
The Issuer is not, on the date hereof, in default under the Indenture or in the
performance of any of its covenants and agreements made in the Student Loan
Purchase Agreement relating to the Acquired Eligible Loans, and, to the best
knowledge of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender is not in default under the Student
Loan Purchase Agreement applicable to the Acquired Eligible Loans. The Issuer is
not aware of any default existing on the date hereof under any of the other
documents referred to in paragraph 4 hereof, nor of any circumstances which
would reasonably prevent reliance upon the opinion of counsel referred to in
paragraphs 4(d) hereof. 6.
All of the conditions specified in the Student Loan Purchase Agreement
applicable to the Acquired Eligible Loans and the Indenture for the acquisition
of the Acquired Eligible Loans and the disbursement hereby authorized and
requested have been satisfied; provided that the Issuer may waive the
requirement of receiving an opinion of counsel from the counsel to the
Lender. 7.
If a Financed Eligible Loan is being sold in exchange for an Acquired Eligible
Loan, the final expected maturity date of such Acquired Eligible Loan shall be
substantially similar to that of the Financed Eligible Loan being sold and such
sale and exchange shall not adversely affect the ability of the Trust Estate to
make timely principal and interest payments on its Obligations. 8.
With respect to each Acquired Eligible Loan, Insurance and a Guarantee Agreement
is in effect with respect thereto. 9.
The Issuer is not in default in the performance of any of its covenants and
agreements made in any Contract of Insurance or the Guarantee Agreement
applicable to the Acquired Eligible Loans. 10.
The proposed use of moneys in the Acquisition Fund is in compliance with the
provisions of the Indenture. 11.
The undersigned is authorized to sign and submit this Certificate on behalf of
the Issuer. 12.
Eligible Loans are being acquired at a price which permits the results of the
cash flow analyses provided to the Rating Agencies on the Closing Date to be
sustained.
WITNESS my hand this _____ day of ___________. EXHIBIT B-1 Unless this Note is
presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a
New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Issuer (as defined below) or
its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued
is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. THE
PRINCIPAL OF THIS NOTE IS PAYABLE AS SET FORTH HEREIN. ACCORDINGLY, THE
OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE
AMOUNT SHOWN ON THE FACE HEREOF. THIS NOTE IS NOT GUARANTEED OR INSURED BY ANY
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. COLLEGE LOAN CORPORATION TRUST 2005-2 PRINCIPAL SUM: THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
College Loan Corporation
Trust 2005-2, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (herein referred to as the "Issuer"), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, on
each Quarterly Distribution Date the principal sum equal to the Class A-1
Noteholder's Principal Distribution Amount for such Quarterly Distribution
Date, as described in the Indenture of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2005, among
the Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as indenture trustee (the
"Trustee") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as eligible lender
trustee provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date specified above (the
"Class A-1 Maturity Date"). The
Issuer shall pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum equal to the
Class A-1 Rate (as defined on the reverse hereof), on each Quarterly
Distribution Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available for
payment, on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Quarterly Distribution Date or the Date of Issuance in the case of the first
Quarterly Distribution Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal
made on the preceding Quarterly Distribution Date), subject to certain
limitations contained in the Indenture. Interest on this Note shall accrue from
and including the preceding Quarterly Distribution Date (or, in the case of the
first Interest Accrual Period, the Date of Issuance) to but excluding the
following Quarterly Distribution Date (each an "Interest Accrual Period").
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
in each Accrual Period divided by 360. Such principal of and interest on this
Note shall be paid in the manner specified on the reverse hereof. The
principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with
respect to this Note shall be applied first to interest due and payable on this
Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.
Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on
the face of this Note.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee
whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly executed, manually or in facsimile,
as of the date set forth below. Date: October 18, 2005 TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This
is one of the Notes designated above and referred to in the within-mentioned
Indenture. Date: October 18, 2005 This
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its
Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2, Class A-1 (the "Class A-1
Notes"), which, together with the Issuer's Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes,
Series 2005-2, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes and Class B
Notes (collectively, the "Notes"), are issued under and secured by the
Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations
thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registered Owners and any
Counterparties. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. The
Class A-1 Notes are and will be secured by the Trust Estate pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are
senior to the Class B Notes as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.
The Class A Notes are, except for certain Termination Payments that are not
Priority Termination Payments, issued on a parity with any Derivative Product
Agreements entered into by the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer will, from
time to time, owe Issuer Derivative Payments, and will, from time to time, be
owed Counterparty Payments. Principal of the
Class A-1 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date in an
amount equal to the Class A-1 Noteholder's Principal Distribution
Amount for such Quarterly Distribution Date. "Quarterly Distribution
Date" means the 15th day of each January, April, July and October or, if
any such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day,
commencing January 17, 2006. As
described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Class A-1 Maturity Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and (b) either the Trustee or the Registered Owners of
Obligations representing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Highest Priority Obligations shall have declared the Notes to be immediately due
and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. Interest on the
Class A-1 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date on the
principal amount outstanding of the Class A-1 Notes until the principal
amount thereof is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Class A-1
Rate. The "Class A-1 Rate" for each Interest Accrual Period,
other than the first Interest Accrual Period, shall be equal to the applicable
Three-Month LIBOR, plus 0.01%. The "Class A-1 Rate" for the first
Interest Accrual Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture.
Payments of interest on
this Note on each Quarterly Distribution Date, together with the installment of
principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date by check
mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears
on the records of the Trustee on such Record Date, except that, unless
definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, with respect to
Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture,
for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note
on a Quarterly Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall notify the Person in
whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
preceding the Quarterly Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the
final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Quarterly
Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place
where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such
installment. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of
this Note may be registered upon the records of the Trustee upon surrender for
transfer of any Note at the Principal Office of the Trustee, duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner
or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new fully registered Note or Notes of the same
interest rate and for a like series, subseries, if any, and aggregate principal
amount of the same maturity. As
to any Note, the person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment
of either principal or interest on any fully registered Note shall be made only
to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner thereof or his legal
representative but such registration may be changed as provided in the
Indenture. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid.
Each
Registered Owner and each transferee of a Note shall be deemed to represent and
warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note directly or indirectly for,
or on behalf of, an ERISA plan or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed
to be plan assets of such ERISA plan; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of
the Notes will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar law and (ii) if the Notes
are subsequently deemed to be "plan assets" pursuant to the regulations set
forth at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, it will promptly dispose of the

Ladies and Gentlemen:
(a)
A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-112075), including a form of
prospectus and such amendments thereto as may have been required to the date
hereof, relating to the Notes and the offering thereof from time to time in
accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"); such registration statement and any post-effective amendments
thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to the
Underwriters and excluding exhibits to such registration statement but including
all documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained therein, to
the Underwriters, have been declared effective by the Commission in such forms;
no other document with respect to such registration statement or document
incorporated by reference therein has heretofore been filed or transmitted for
filing with the Commission (other than prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) ("Rule 424(b)") of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the
"Rules and Regulations") under the Act, each in the form heretofore delivered to
the Underwriters); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such
registration statement have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has
been initiated or threatened by the Commission. The various parts of such
registration statement including all exhibits thereto and the documents
incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in the registration
statement at the time such registration statement became effective (but
excluding the Form T-1 filed in connection therewith), each as amended at the
time such part of such registration statement became effective, are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the prospectus
included in such Registration Statement, as supplemented to reflect the terms of
the Notes as first filed with the Commission after the date of this Agreement
pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b), are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Prospectus;" a "preliminary prospectus" means any form of
prospectus, including any prospectus supplement, relating to the Notes used
prior to the date of this Agreement that is subject to completion; the "Base
Prospectus" means the base prospectus dated October 13, 2005, included in the
Prospectus; and the "Prospectus Supplement" means the prospectus supplement to
be dated on or about October 13, 2005, included in the Prospectus.
(b)
On the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus conformed in all respects to the requirements of the Act, the
Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the
"Trust Indenture Act"), and the Rules and Regulations thereunder, and, except
with respect to information omitted pursuant to Rule 430A of the Act, did not
include any untrue statement of a material fact or, in the case of the
Registration Statement, omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, in the
case of the Prospectus, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and on the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date,
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform in all respects to
the requirements of the Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture
Act, and none of such documents included or will include any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however,
that the foregoing does not apply to statements in or omissions from the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus based upon written information
furnished by the Underwriters (as described in Section 7(b) hereof),
specifically for use therein.
(c)
The Notes are "asset backed securities" within the meaning of, and satisfy the
requirements for use of, Form S-3 under the Act, as set forth in the General
Instructions to Form S-3, and the conditions of Rule 415 of the Act have been
satisfied with respect to the Registration Statement. The Commission has not
issued and, to the best knowledge of the Sponsor, is not threatening to issue
any order preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement.
(d)
The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, when they became effective or hereafter become effective, or at the
time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will
comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Trust Indenture Act
and the Rules and Regulations thereunder and none of such documents contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(e)
Each of College Loan, the Sponsor and the Sellers is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of
organization, is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in
which it is required to be so qualified and has all necessary licenses, permits
and consents to conduct its business as currently conducted and as described in
the Prospectus and to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents except
where the failure to be so qualified or to have such licenses, permits or
consents would not have a material adverse affect on College Loan (including
without limitation in its capacity as a Seller, Servicing Administrator and
Administrator), the Sponsor and the Sellers, as applicable, or on its ability to
perform its obligations under the Basic Documents.
(f)
This Agreement and each of the other Basic Documents to which College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator is a
party has been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered by College Loan,
the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator, as
applicable, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator and the Administrator,
respectively, enforceable against College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the
Servicing Administrator and the Administrator, respectively, in accordance with
its terms, subject as to the enforcement of remedies (i) to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally; (ii) to general principles of equity
(regardless of and whether the enforcement of such remedies is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) with respect to rights of indemnity
under this Agreement, to limitations of public policy under applicable
securities laws.
(g)
None of College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or
the Administrator is in breach or violation of (i) its organizational documents
or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed or trust, lease, credit or security
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it
or its properties may be bound, or in violation of any applicable law, statute,
regulation or ordinance or any governmental body having jurisdiction over it,
except where such breach or violation would not have a material adverse affect
on College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the
Administrator, as applicable, or in its ability to perform its obligations under
the Basic Documents.
(h)
Other than as contemplated by this Agreement or as disclosed in the Prospectus,
there is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the
Sponsor, or any affiliate thereof or the Underwriters, any brokerage or finder's
fee or other fee or commission as a result of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(i)
Neither the Sponsor nor any of its affiliates has entered into, nor will it
enter into, any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the
Notes, except for this Agreement.
(j)
The Trust is not an "investment company" and is not required to be registered as
an "investment company," as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
(k)
As of the Closing Date (as defined below), the representations and warranties of
College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator and the
Administrator, in each of their respective capacities under each of the Basic
Documents to which they are a party, will be true and correct in all material
respects as of the date of such representation or warranty was given and each
such representation and warranty is so incorporated herein by this reference.
(l)
The Trust's assignment of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture will vest in the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, a first priority perfected security interest therein, subject to no
other outstanding Lien.
(m)
The Notes have been duly authorized on behalf of the Trust. The Notes, when duly
and validly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the
Indenture, and delivered and paid for pursuant hereto, will constitute legally
valid and binding obligations of the Trust, entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject as to
enforceability to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity (whether in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(n)
Neither the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Basic Documents by
College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the
Administrator, nor the issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes, nor the
fulfillment of the terms of the Notes, will conflict with, or result in a
breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or
provision of the formation documents of College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers,
the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator, any material indenture or
other material agreement or instrument to which College Loan, the Sponsor, the
Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator is a party or by which
any of them or their properties is bound or result in a violation of or
contravene the terms of any statute, order or regulation applicable to College
Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator
of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the
Servicing Administrator or the Administrator, or will result in the creation of
any lien upon any material property or assets of College Loan, the Sponsor, the
Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator (other than pursuant
to the Basic Documents).
(o)
Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending to which College Loan, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the
Servicing Administrator or the Administrator is a party or of which any of its
properties is the subject, which, if determined adversely to College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator, would
individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, shareholders' equity or results of operations of any of them; and, to
the best of College Loan's and the Sponsor's knowledge, no such proceedings are
threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others.
(p)
No consent, license, approval, authorization or order of or declaration or
filing with any governmental authority is required for the issuance of the Notes
or sale of the Notes or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, except for state securities or
Blue Sky laws and except such as have been or will have been prior to the
Closing Date duly made or obtained.
(q)
Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, as amended prior to the date hereof, there has not
been any material adverse change, or any development which could reasonably be
expected to result in a material adverse change, in or affecting the financial
position, shareholders' equity or results of operations of College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator or the Administrator, or
College Loan's, the Sponsor's, the Sellers', the Servicing Administrator's or
the Administrator's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
any of the other Basic Documents to which it is a party.
(r)
Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges owed by College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator, the Administrator or the
Trust due on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, sales
taxes) in connection with the execution, delivery and issuance of this
Agreement, the other Basic Documents and the Notes have been or will have been
paid at or prior to the Closing Date, except for taxes, fees and other
governmental charges in respect of which the validity thereof will be contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
(s)
Under generally accepted accounting principles, (i) each Seller will report its
transfer of the Financed Student Loans transferred by it to the Sponsor pursuant
to its Seller Student Loan Purchase Agreement as a sale of the Financed Student
Loans for financial accounting purposes and (ii) the Sponsor will report its
transfer of the Financed Student Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Sponsor
Student Loan Purchase Agreement as a sale of the Financed Student Loans for
financial accounting purposes (it being understood, however, that the sales
described in clauses (i) and (ii) may not be recognized for accounting purposes
due to the application of consolidated financial reporting).
(t)
Immediately prior to the transfer thereof by each Seller to the Sponsor, each
Seller will be the sole owner of all right, title and interest in, and will have
good and marketable title to, the Financed Student Loans to be transferred to
the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Seller Student Loan Purchase Agreements, each
Seller will transfer to the Sponsor ownership of the Financed Student Loans.
Immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Trust, the Sponsor will be the
sole owner of all right, title and interest in, and will have good and
marketable title to, the Financed Student Loans. The assignment of the Financed
Student Loans, all documents and instruments relating thereto and all proceeds
thereof to the Trust, pursuant to the Sponsor Student Loan Purchase Agreement,
vests in the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee, as appropriate,
on behalf of the Trust all interests which are purported to be conveyed thereby,
free and clear of any liens, security interests or encumbrances, other than
those contemplated by the Basic Documents.
(u)
Immediately upon the transfer of Financed Student Loans by the Sellers to the
Sponsor pursuant to the Seller Student Loan Purchase Agreements, the Sponsor's
interest in such Financed Student Loans and the proceeds thereof shall be
perfected by the filing of UCC-1 financing statements naming each Seller and its
eligible lender trustee, as debtors, the Sponsor and its eligible lender
trustee, as secured parties, and the Indenture Trustee, as assignee (the "Seller
Financing Statements") in the offices specified in Schedule I and there shall be
no unreleased UCC financing statements filed against the Sellers or their
eligible lender trustees in such Financed Student Loans other than the Seller
Financing Statements. If a court concludes that the transfer of such Financed
Student Loans from the Sellers to the Sponsor is a sale, the interest of the
Sponsor in the Financed Student Loans and the proceeds thereof will be perfected
upon filing of the Seller Financing Statements in the offices specified in
Schedule I. If a court concludes that such transfer is not a sale, the Seller
Student Loan Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby shall
constitute a grant by the Sellers to the Sponsor of a valid security interest in
the Financed Student Loans and the proceeds thereof, which security interest
will be perfected upon filing of the Seller Financing Statements in the offices
specified in Schedule I. No filing or other action, other than the filing of the
Seller Financing Statements in the offices specified in Schedule I and any
related continuation statements, is necessary to perfect and maintain the
interest or the security interest of the Sponsor in the Financed Student Loans
and the proceeds thereof against third parties.
(v)
Immediately upon the transfer of the Financed Student Loans by the Sponsor to
the Trust pursuant to the Sponsor Student Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trust's
interest in the Financed Student Loans and the proceeds thereof shall be
perfected by the filing of UCC-1 Financing Statements naming the Sponsor and its
eligible lender trustee, as debtors, the Trust and the Eligible Lender Trustee,
as secured parties, and the Indenture Trustee, as assignee (the "Sponsor
Financing Statements") in the offices specified in Schedule I and there shall be
no unreleased UCC financing statements filed against the Sponsor or its eligible
lender trustee in the Financed Student Loans other than the Sponsor Financing
Statements. If a court concludes that the transfer of the Financed Student Loans
from the Sponsor to the Trust is a sale, the interest of the Trust in the
Financed Student Loans and the proceeds thereof will be perfected upon filing of
the Seller Financing Statements in the offices specified in Schedule I. If a
court concludes that such transfer is not a sale, the Sponsor Student Loan
Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby constitute a grant
by the Sponsor to the Trust of a valid security interest in the Financed Student
Loans and the proceeds thereof, which security interest will be perfected upon
the filing of the Sponsor Financing Statements in the offices specified in
Schedule I. No filing or other action, other than the filing of the Sponsor
Financing Statements in the offices specified in Schedule I and any related
continuation statements, is necessary to perfect and maintain the interest or
the security interest of the Trust in the Financed Student Loans and the
proceeds thereof against third parties.
(w)
The Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby constitute a grant by
the Trust and the Eligible Lender Trustee to the Indenture Trustee of a valid
security interest in the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, which security
interest will be perfected upon the filing of UCC-1 Financing Statements naming
the Trust and the Eligible Lender Trustee, as debtors, and the Indenture
Trustee, as secured party (the "Trust Financing Statements"), in the offices
specified in Schedule I and there shall be no unreleased UCC financing
statements filed against the Trust or the Eligible Lender Trustee in the
Collateral other than the Trust Financing Statements. No filing or other action,
other than the filing of the Trust Financing Statements and any related
continuation statements, is necessary to perfect and maintain the interest or
the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral and the
proceeds thereof against third parties.
(x)
The Trust Agreement need not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
(y)
The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
(z)
The Sponsor and College Loan acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are
acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the
Sponsor and College Loan with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated
hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and
not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Sponsor,
College Loan or any other person. Additionally, none of the Underwriters is
advising the Sponsor, College Loan or any other person as to any legal, tax,
investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Sponsor
and College Loan shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters
and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and
appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall
have no responsibility or liability to the Sponsor or College Loan with respect
thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Sponsor or College Loan, the
transaction contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions
will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on
behalf of the Sponsor or College Loan.
(a)
The Sponsor will file the Prospectus in a form approved by the Underwriters with
the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with subparagraph (2) (or, if
applicable and if consented to by the Underwriters, subparagraph (5)) of Rule
424(b) no later than the second business day following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement. The Sponsor will advise the Underwriters promptly of
any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b).
(b)
The Sponsor will advise the Underwriters promptly of any proposal to amend or
supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in connection with the
offering of the Notes and will not effect such amendment or supplementation
without the consent of the Underwriters, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; and the Sponsor will advise the Underwriters promptly of
any amendment or supplementation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
in connection with the offering of the Notes and of the institution by the
Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration
Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop
order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.
(c)
If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be
delivered by an Underwriter or dealer, either (i) any event occurs as a result
of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) for any other reason it shall be
necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the
Sponsor promptly will notify the Underwriters of such event and promptly will
prepare, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such
statement or omission. Neither the Underwriters' consent to, nor the
Underwriters' distribution of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus
shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6
hereof.
(d)
The Sponsor will, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an underwriter or
dealer is required by the Act, furnish to the Underwriters copies of any
preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available
and in such quantities as the Underwriters reasonably request.
(e)
The Sponsor will take all actions which are necessary to arrange for the
qualification of the Notes for offering and sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriters designate and will continue such
qualifications in effect so long as required under such laws for the
distribution of the Notes; provided, however, that in no event shall the Sponsor
be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general or
unlimited consent or take any action that would subject it to service of process
in any such jurisdiction.
(f)
The Sponsor shall, at all times upon request of the Underwriters or their
advisors, or both, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, (i) make
available to the Underwriters or its advisors, or both, prior to acceptance of
its purchase, such information (in addition to that contained in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus) concerning the offering, the Sponsor
and any other relevant matters as they possess or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense, including any and all documentation requested in
connection with its due diligence efforts regarding information in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and in order to evidence the accuracy
or completeness of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement and (ii)
provide the Underwriters or its advisors, or both, prior to acceptance of its
subscription, the reasonable opportunity to ask questions of College Loan, the
Sponsor, the Seller, the Servicing Administrator and the Administrator with
respect to such matters.
(g)
Until the retirement of the Notes, the Sponsor will deliver to the Underwriters
the annual statements of compliance and the annual independent certified public
accountants' reports furnished to the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender
Trustee pursuant to the Basic Documents, as soon as such statements and reports
are furnished to the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee.
(h)
So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Sponsor will furnish to the
Underwriters as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year, all
documents required to be distributed to Noteholders or filed with the Commission
on behalf of the Sponsor pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any order of the
Commission thereunder.
(i)
On or before the Closing Date (or, in the case of Financed Student Loans to be
acquired by the Trust from the Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Student Loan
Purchase Agreement after the Closing Date, on or before the date of such
acquisition), the Sponsor shall cause the computer records of the Sponsor, the
Sellers, the Servicing Administrator, each Servicer, the Custodian and the
Administrator relating to the Financed Student Loans to show the ownership by
the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust of the Financed Student
Loans, and from and after the Closing Date (or such later date of acquisition)
none of the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator, either Servicer,
the Custodian, or the Administrator shall take any action inconsistent with the
ownership by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust of such Financed
Student Loans, other than as permitted by the Servicing Administration
Agreement.
(j)
To the extent, if any, that any of the ratings provided with respect to the
Notes by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate any of the Notes are
conditioned upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions
by the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator, each Servicer, the
Custodian or the Administrator on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sponsor
shall or shall cause the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicing Administrator, the
Servicer, the Custodian or the Administrator, as applicable, to furnish such
documents and take any such other actions. A copy of any such documents shall be
provided to the Underwriters at the time it is delivered to the rating agencies.
(k)
The Sponsor will cause the Trust to pay from amounts deposited into the
Acquisition Fund on the Closing Date, or to the extent such amounts are not
sufficient, the Sponsor will pay, all expenses incident to the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement, including, with limitation, (i) the
printing and filing of the documents (including the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus); (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes to the
Underwriters; (iii) the fees and disbursements of College Loan's, the Sponsor's,
the Sellers', the Servicing Administrator's and the Administrator's counsel
(including without limitation, local counsel) and accountants; (iv) the
qualification of the Notes under state securities laws, including filing fees
and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection
therewith and in connection with the preparation of any blue sky or legal
investment survey, if any is requested; (v) the printing and delivery to the
Underwriters of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and each
amendment thereto; (vi) the reasonable expenses of the Underwriters (other than
its counsel which shall be paid by the Underwriters); (vii) any fees charged by
rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (viii) the fees and expenses of the
Trust and its counsel; and (ix) the fees and expenses of the Delaware Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee, and each of their
counsel.
(l)
The Sponsor will cause the Trust to make generally available to holders of
Notes, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule
158(c) under the Act), an earnings statement of the Trust (which need not be
audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Act (including, at the option of
the Sponsor, Rule 158).
(m)
The Sponsor will cooperate with the Underwriters and with their counsel in
connection with the qualification of, or procurement of exemptions with respect
to, the Notes for offering and sale by the Underwriters and by dealers under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may
designate and will file such consents to service of process or other documents
necessary or appropriate in order to effect such qualification or exemptions;
provided that in no event shall the Sponsor be obligated to qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action which would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those
arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so subject.
(n)
The Sponsor consents to the use, in accordance with the securities or Blue Sky

respect to any errors made by the Underwriters in calculations performed by them
and contained in the Computational Materials; provided, however, that the
indemnification contained in this paragraph 7(a) with respect to any Preliminary
Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of an Underwriter (or to the benefit
of any person controlling an Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arising from the sale of the of Notes by an Underwriter to
any person if the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact contained in such Preliminary Prospectus was
corrected in the Prospectus and such Underwriter sold Notes to that person
without sending or giving at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale,
a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented but excluding
documents incorporated by reference therein) if College Loan or the Sponsor has
previously furnished sufficient copies thereof to such Underwriter at a time
reasonably prior to the date such Notes are sold to such person.
(b)
Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Sponsor and College Loan and their directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls the Sponsor or College Loan within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Sponsor to the Underwriters set
forth in paragraph 7(a) above, but only with reference to information relating
to such Underwriter furnished to the Sponsor in writing by such Underwriter
expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto or with respect to any errors made by the
Underwriters in calculations performed by them and contained in the
Computational Materials. The written information furnished by the Underwriters
to the Sponsor consists solely of the information set forth in the second, fifth
and eighth paragraphs under the heading "Plan of Distribution" in the Prospectus
Supplement (the "Underwriters' Information").
(c)
In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) above, such Person (the "Indemnified Party")
shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"Indemnifying Party") in writing; provided, however, that the failure to notify
the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability which it may have under Section 7(a) or 7(b) above except to the
extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided
further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
otherwise than under this Section 7(a) or 7(b) above. The Indemnifying Party,
upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the
Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails to
retain counsel as provided in the preceding sentence. It is understood that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified
Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, and by the Sponsor
or College Loan, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b)
above. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying
Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not
include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d)
To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party
under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor and
College Loan on the one hand and an Underwriter on the other hand from the
offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above
is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but
also the relative fault of the Sponsor or College Loan on the one hand and of an
Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Sponsor and College Loan on the one hand and an Underwriter on the other hand in
connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same
respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes
(before deducting expenses) received by the Sponsor and the total discounts and
commissions received by such Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the
Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Notes. The relative
fault of the Sponsor and College Loan on the one hand and of an Underwriter on
the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Sponsor, College Loan or by an Underwriter and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e)
The Sponsor, College Loan and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount of its underwriting compensation. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
(a)
It is understood that the Underwriters may prepare and provide to prospective
investors certain Computational Materials (as defined below) in connection with
the offering of the Notes, subject to the following conditions:
(i)
The Underwriters shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in
connection with the use of Computational Materials including the No-Action
Letter of May 20, 1994 issued by the Commission to Kidder, Peabody Acceptance
Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated and Kidder Structured Asset
Corporation, as made applicable to other issuers and underwriters by the
Commission in response to the request of the Public Securities Association dated
May 24, 1994, and the No-Action Letter of February 17, 1995 issued by the
Commission to the Public Securities Association (collectively, the "Kidder/PSA
Letters").
(ii)
As used herein, "Computational Materials" and the term "ABS Term Sheets" shall
have the meanings given such terms in the Kidder/PSA Letters, but shall include
only those Computational Materials that have been prepared or delivered to
prospective investors by or at the direction of an Underwriter.
(iii)
Each Underwriter shall provide the Sponsor with representative forms of all
Computational Materials prior to their first use, to the extent such forms have
not previously been approved by the Sponsor for use by such Underwriter. Each
Underwriter shall provide to the Sponsor, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in
Section 9(b), copies of all Computational Materials that are to be filed with
the Commission pursuant to the Kidder/PSA Letters. Each Underwriter may provide
copies of the foregoing in a consolidated or aggregated form. All Computational
Materials described in this subsection (a)(iii) must be provided to the Sponsor
not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, one business day before filing thereof
is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(iv)
If an Underwriter does not provide the Computational Materials to the Sponsor
pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) above, such Underwriter shall be deemed to have
represented, as of the applicable Closing Date, that it did not provide any
prospective investors with any information in written or electronic form in
connection with the offering of the Notes that is required to be filed with the
Commission in accordance with the Kidder/PSA Letters.
(v)
In the event of any delay in the delivery by an Underwriter to the Sponsor of
all Computational Materials required to be delivered in accordance with
subsection (a)(iii) above, the Sponsor shall have the right to delay the release
of the Prospectus to investors or to such Underwriter, to delay the Closing Date
and to take other appropriate actions in each case as necessary in order to
allow the Sponsor to comply with its agreement set forth in Section 9(b) to file
the Computational Materials by the time specified therein.
(b)
The Sponsor shall file the Computational Materials (if any) provided to it by
the Underwriter under Section 9(a)(iii) with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K no later than 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the date
required pursuant to the Kidder/PSA Letters.

appearing in the note register; but neither failure to give such notice nor any
defect in any notice so given shall affect the validity of the proceedings for
prepayment of any Note not affected by such failure or defect. So long as any
such Notes are maintained in book-entry form, the Trustee shall treat the
Clearing Agency as the sole Registered Owner of such Notes. All notices of
prepayment shall state (i) the Prepayment Date, (ii) the Prepayment Price, (iii)
the name (including class designation), Final Maturity Date and CUSIP number of
each of the Notes to be prepaid, (iv) the principal amount of Notes of each

respective principal amounts) of the Notes of each class to be prepaid, (v)
that, on the Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Price on each such Note will become
due and payable and that interest on each such Note shall cease to accrue on and

for payment of the Prepayment Price thereof, and (vii) if it be the case, that
such Notes are to be prepaid by the application of certain specified trust

any Prepayment Date, a second notice of prepayment shall be given by the
Trustee, in the manner described above, to the Registered Owner of a Note that
was not presented for prepayment within 30 days after the Prepayment Date.
Following provision of notice, the Prepayment Price will become due and payable
on the Prepayment Date, and interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes to be
redeemed. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with such
notice, such Note shall be paid at the Prepayment Price. If any Note called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
Prepayment Price and, to the extent lawful, interest thereon shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Prepayment Date at the interest rate borne by the Note on
the Prepayment Date.
Any Note which is to
be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Registered Owner thereof
or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing) and an Authorized
Representative shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Registered Owner of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes
of the same class, of any authorized denomination or denominations, in aggregate
outstanding principal balance equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal
of the Note so surrendered. Any Note with respect to which a partial
distribution of principal is made shall remain Outstanding in the then current
outstanding principal balance. The Trustee shall retain a record of the
outstanding principal balance of each Note any portion of the principal of which
has been distributed.
(e) Limitation on
Sale of Financed Eligible Loans. Except upon satisfying the Rating Agency
Confirmation, the Issuer may direct the Trustee to sell to any purchaser one or
more Financed Eligible Loans only in the following circumstances: (i) to the
Sponsor or other seller if such party is required to repurchase such Financed
Eligible Loan pursuant to a Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) to a Guaranty Agency
under a Guarantee Agreement; (iii) pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof; or (iv) if
necessary for administrative purposes or if requested by the borrower
corresponding to such Financed Eligible Loan, the Issuer may substitute another
Eligible Loan for an existing Financed Eligible Loan if the substituted Eligible
Loan has characteristics (including principal amount, maturity date and interest
rate) which are substantially similar to the characteristics of the substituted
Financed Eligible Loan, and the collective amount of all such substitutions does
not exceed $5,000,000. Any money received by the Issuer in connection with a
sale of Financed Eligible Loans pursuant to this paragraph shall, in the case of
a sale pursuant to (1) clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, be
deposited into the Collection Fund for application on the immediately succeeding
Monthly Payment Date, Quarterly Distribution Date, and (2) clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, be applied as set forth in Section 10.03 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, the
Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell any Financed Eligible Loans to the
Sponsor (unless the Sponsor is required to repurchase such Eligible Loan
pursuant to a Loan Purchase Agreement).
(a) On
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deposit $3,281,255 into the Reserve Fund.
Thereafter, the Trustee shall transfer to the Reserve Fund from the Collection
Fund all amounts designated for transfer thereto pursuant to Section 5.03(c)(H)
hereof.

Payment Date or Distribution Date, to the extent there are insufficient
Available Funds in the Collection Fund to make one or more of the transfers
required by Sections 5.03(b) and 5.03(c)(A) through (c)(E), and after giving
effect to any transfers from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Collection
Fund on such Monthly Payment Date or Distribution Date, as the case may be, then
the Issuer Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from
the Reserve Fund on such Monthly Payment Date or Distribution Date, as the case
may be, an amount equal to such deficiency and to deposit such amount in the
Collection Fund. Additionally, if on the Final Maturity Date for a class of
Notes, and after giving effect to the distribution of the Available Funds on
such Final Maturity Date, the principal amount of such class of Notes will not
be reduced to zero, the Issuer Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in
writing to withdraw from the Reserve Fund on such Final Maturity Date an amount
equal to the amount needed to reduce the principal amount of such class of Notes
to zero and to deposit such amount in the Collection Fund for application to
payment of the outstanding principal balance of such class of Notes.
(c) After giving
effect to Section 5.04(b) above, if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund on
any Distribution Date is (i) greater than the Reserve Fund Requirement for such
Distribution Date, the Issuer Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in
writing to withdraw from the Reserve Fund on such Distribution Date an amount
equal to such excess and to deposit such amount in the Collection Fund; or (ii)
equal to or greater than the Minimum Purchase Amount, the amounts in the Reserve
Fund shall be transferred to the Collection Fund for application of payment
pursuant to Section 5.03(c).
(d) On the final
Distribution Date upon termination of the Trust and following the payment in
full of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and of all other amounts (other than
unpaid Issuer Derivative Payments and Carryover Servicing Administration Fees)
owing or to be distributed hereunder to Noteholders, the Trustee, the Servicing
Administrator, the Issuer Administrator, the Delaware Trustee or any
Counterparties (excluding Termination Payments other than Priority Termination
Payments), to the extent that Available Funds on such date are insufficient to
make the following payments, amounts remaining in the Reserve Fund shall be used
first to pay any unpaid Issuer Derivative Payments and Termination Payments and
second to pay any Carryover Servicing Administration Fees. Any amount remaining
on deposit in the Reserve Fund after such payments have been made shall be
distributed to the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall in no event be required to refund
any amounts properly distributed pursuant to this Section 5.04(d).
(b)
After giving effect to Section 5.05(a) above, on September 30, 2009 the Trustee
shall, at the written directions of the Issuer Administrator, withdraw all
amounts remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account on such date and deposit
such amounts in the Collection Fund.

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION OF NOTESAND SATISFACTION OF INDENTURE
(a) If
the Issuer shall pay, or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid (i)
to the Registered Owners of the Notes, the principal of and interest on the
Notes, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Indenture; and (ii) to
the Counterparties, all Issuer Derivative Payments and Termination Payments then
due, then the pledge of the Trust Estate, and all covenants, agreements and
other obligations of the Issuer to the Registered Owners of Notes shall
thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In
such event, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer all such
instruments as may be desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and
the Trustee shall pay over or deliver all money held by it under this Indenture
to the party entitled to receive the same under this Indenture. If the Issuer
shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the
Registered Owners of any Outstanding Notes the principal of and interest on such
Notes and to each Counterparty all Counterparty Payments then due, at the times
and in the manner stipulated in this Indenture and in any Derivative Product
Agreements, such Notes and the Counterparty shall cease to be entitled to any
lien, benefit or security under this Indenture, and all covenants, agreements
and obligations of the Issuer to the Registered Owners thereof and each
Counterparty shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged
and satisfied.
(b) Notes or
interest installments shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of
Section 10.02(a) hereof if money for the payment thereof has been set aside and
is being held in trust by the Trustee at the Final Maturity Date or earlier
prepayment date thereof. Any Outstanding Note shall, prior to the Final Maturity
Date or earlier prepayment thereof, be deemed to have been paid within the
meaning and with the effect expressed in Section 10.02(a) hereof if (i) such
Note is to be prepaid on any date prior to its Final Maturity Date and (ii) the
Issuer shall have given notice of prepayment as provided herein on said date,
there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either money (fully insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Issuer or fully collateralized by Governmental
Obligations) in an amount which shall be sufficient, or Governmental Obligations
(including any Governmental Obligations issued or held in book-entry form on the
books of the Department of Treasury of the United States of America) the
principal of and the interest on which when due will provide money which,
together with the money, if any, deposited with the Trustee at the same time,
shall be sufficient, to pay when due the principal of and interest to become due
on such Note on and prior to the prepayment date or Final Maturity Date thereof,
as the case may be. Any deposit under the immediately preceding sentence shall
be accompanied by an Issuer Order (A) setting forth the principal of and
interest to become due on such Notes to be paid or prepaid on and prior to the
prepayment date or Final Maturity Date thereof, as applicable, and all amounts
described in Sections 5.03 (A), (B) or (C), and any related expenses, to be
accrued through such latest payment or prepayment date, together with
instructions to make all such payments, and (B) in the case of a deposit of any
Governmental Obligations, certifying that such Governmental Obligations,
together with any moneys also being deposited or already held by the Trustee
hereunder, are sufficient, and will mature as needed, to make all such payments
described in (A) as and when due and payable. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, however, no such deposit shall have the effect specified in this
subsection (b) if made during the existence of an Event of Default, unless made
with respect to all of the Notes then Outstanding. Neither Governmental
Obligations nor money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this subsection (b)
nor principal or interest payments on any such Governmental Obligations shall be
withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held irrevocably in
trust in an escrow account for, the payment of the principal of and interest on
such Notes. Any cash received from such principal of and interest on such
Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee, if not needed for such
purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be reinvested in Governmental
Obligations maturing at times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the
principal of and interest on such Notes on and prior to such prepayment date or
Final Maturity Date thereof, as the case may be, and interest earned from such
reinvestments shall be paid over to the Issuer, as received by the Trustee, free
and clear of any trust, lien or pledge. Any payment for Governmental Obligations
purchased for the purpose of reinvesting cash as aforesaid shall be made only
against delivery of such Governmental Obligations. For the purposes of this
Section, "Governmental Obligations" shall mean and include only non-callable
direct obligations of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of
America or portions thereof (including interest or principal portions thereof),
and such Governmental Obligations shall be of such amounts, maturities and
interest payment dates and bear such interest as will, without further
investment or reinvestment of either the principal amount thereof or the
interest earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make the payments required herein,
and which obligations have been deposited in an escrow account which is
irrevocably pledged as security for the Notes. Such term shall not include
mutual funds and unit investment trusts.
(c) Any Issuer
Derivative Payments and Termination Payments are deemed to have been paid and
the related Derivative Product Agreement terminated when payment of all Issuer
Derivative Payments and Termination Payments due and payable to the Counterparty
under its Derivative Product Agreement have been made or duly provided for to
the satisfaction of the Counterparty and the Derivative Product Agreement has
been terminated.
(d) In no event
shall the Eligible Lender transfer legal title to any Financed Eligible Loans
originated under the Act to the Issuer, the Sponsor or any Person designated by
the Issuer or the Sponsor unless the Issuer or such Person, as applicable, is an
Eligible Lender, if the Act or Regulations then in effect require the owner or
holder of such Financed Eligible Loans to be an Eligible Lender.
(e) The provisions
of this Section are applicable to the Notes and the Issuer Derivative Payments
and Termination Payments.

This is one of the Notes designated above and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., not in its individual capacity
but solely as Trustee, By _______________________ Authorized Signatory |
Date: October 18, 2005
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2, Class A-2 (the "Class A-2 Notes"), which, together with the Issuer's Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes and Class B Notes (collectively, the "Notes"), are issued under and secured by the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registered Owners and any Counterparties. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.
The Class A-2 Notes are and will be secured by the Trust Estate pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are senior to the Class B Notes as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are, except for certain Termination Payments that are not Priority Termination Payments, issued on a parity with any Derivative Product Agreements entered into by the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer will, from time to time, owe Issuer Derivative Payments, and will, from time to time, be owed Counterparty Payments.
Principal of the Class A-2 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Class A-2 Noteholder's Principal Distribution Amount for such Quarterly Distribution Date. "Quarterly Distribution Date" means the 15th day of each January, April, July and October or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day, commencing January 17, 2006.
As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-2 Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) either the Trustee or the Registered Owners of Obligations representing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations shall have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.
Interest on the Class A-2 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date on the principal amount outstanding of the Class A-2 Notes until the principal amount thereof is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Class A-2 Rate. The "Class A-2 Rate" for each Interest Accrual Period, other than the first Interest Accrual Period, shall be equal to the applicable Three-Month LIBOR, plus 0.11%. The "Class A-2 Rate" for the first Interest Accrual Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture.
Payments of interest on this Note on each Quarterly Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the records of the Trustee on such Record Date, except that, unless definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Quarterly Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Quarterly Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Quarterly Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered upon the records of the Trustee upon surrender for transfer of any Note at the Principal Office of the Trustee, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Note or Notes of the same interest rate and for a like series, subseries, if any, and aggregate principal amount of the same maturity.
As to any Note, the person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of either principal or interest on any fully registered Note shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner thereof or his legal representative but such registration may be changed as provided in the Indenture. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid.
Each Registered Owner and each transferee of a Note shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, an ERISA plan or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to be plan assets of such ERISA plan; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of the Notes will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar law and (ii) if the Notes are subsequently deemed to be "plan assets" pursuant to the regulations set forth at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, it will promptly dispose of the Notes.
The Trustee shall require the payment by any Registered Owner requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The applicant for any such transfer or exchange may be required to pay all taxes and governmental charges in connection with such transfer or exchange, other than exchanges pursuant to the Indenture.
The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee, the Registered Owners and any Counterparties under the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2, Class A-3 (the "Class A-3 Notes"), which, together with the Issuer's Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-4 Notes and Class B Notes (collectively, the "Notes"), are issued under and secured by the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registered Owners and any Counterparties. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.
The Class A-3 Notes are and will be secured by the Trust Estate pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are senior to the Class B Notes as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are, except for certain Termination Payments that are not Priority Termination Payments, issued on a parity with any Derivative Product Agreements entered into by the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer will, from time to time, owe Issuer Derivative Payments, and will, from time to time, be owed Counterparty Payments.
Principal of the Class A-3 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Class A-3 Noteholder's Principal Distribution Amount for such Quarterly Distribution Date. "Quarterly Distribution Date" means the 15th day of each January, April, July and October or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day, commencing January 17, 2006.
As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-3 Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) either the Trustee or the Registered Owners of Obligations representing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority Obligations shall have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.
Interest on the Class A-3 Notes shall be payable on each Quarterly Distribution Date on the principal amount outstanding of the Class A-3 Notes until the principal amount thereof is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Class A-3 Rate. The "Class A-3 Rate" for each Interest Accrual Period, other than the first Interest Accrual Period, shall be equal to the applicable Three-Month LIBOR, plus 0.13%. The "Class A-3 Rate" for the first Interest Accrual Period shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture.
Payments of interest on this Note on each Quarterly Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the records of the Trustee on such Record Date, except that, unless definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Quarterly Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Quarterly Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Quarterly Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

As to any Note, the person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of either principal or interest on any fully registered Note shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner thereof or his legal representative but such registration may be changed as provided in the Indenture. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums paid.
Each Registered Owner and each transferee of a Note shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, an ERISA plan or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to be plan assets of such ERISA plan; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of the Notes will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar law and (ii) if the Notes are subsequently deemed to be "plan assets" pursuant to the regulations set forth at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, it will promptly dispose of the Notes.

TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
Section 3.01 Initial Beneficial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Sponsor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.
Section 3.02 The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be issued as physical fully registered certificates in minimum Percentage Interests of 10%, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Delaware Trustee, upon the order of the Sponsor to the Delaware Trustee. Such Trust Certificates shall represent the entire undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate, subject to the debt represented by the Notes. Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates. Upon issuance, the Trust Certificates shall be deemed fully paid and non-assessable.
Section 3.03 Authentication of Trust Certificate. Concurrently with the initial contribution of the Sponsor to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.05, the Delaware Trustee shall cause a Trust Certificate, in an aggregate Percentage Interest of 100%, to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Sponsor. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A executed by the Delaware Trustee by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. No further Trust Certificates shall be issued except pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.05 hereunder.
Section 3.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates. The certificate registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a certificate register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Delaware Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificates as herein provided. The Delaware Trustee shall be the initial certificate registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Delaware Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest dated the date of authentication by the Delaware Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.
Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Delaware Trustee and the certificate registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Delaware Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Trust Certificates, but the Delaware Trustee or the certificate registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.
The Trust Certificates and any beneficial interest in such Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or with the assets of (a) employee benefit plans, retirement arrangements, individual retirement accounts or Keogh plans subject to either Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (b) entities (including insurance company general accounts) whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment by any such plans, arrangements or accounts in such entities (a "Benefit Plan Investor"). Each transferee of a Trust Certificate shall be required to represent (a) that it is not a Benefit Plan Investor and is not acquiring such Trust Certificate with the assets of a Benefit Plan Investor and (b) that if such Trust Certificate is subsequently deemed to be a plan asset, it will dispose of such Trust Certificate. Each Trust Certificate shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions contained in this paragraph.
Section 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the certificate registrar, or if the certificate registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the certificate registrar and the Delaware Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Delaware Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Delaware Trustee and the certificate registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Delaware Trustee or the certificate registrar and any agent of any thereof may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate shall be registered in the certificate register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Delaware Trustee, the certificate registrar nor any agent of any thereof shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.07 Access to List of Certificateholders Names and Addresses. The Delaware Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Sponsor, within 15 days after receipt by the Delaware Trustee of a request therefore from the Sponsor in writing, a list in such form as the Sponsor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders or one or more Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Percentage Interests apply in writing to the Delaware Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Delaware Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Upon receipt of any such application, the Delaware Trustee will promptly notify the Sponsor by providing a copy of such application and a copy of the list of Certificateholders produced in response thereto. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Sponsor, the certificate registrar or the Delaware Trustee accountable or liable by reason of disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source form which such information was derived.
Section 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Delaware Trustee shall maintain, either with itself or with an affiliate, in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Delaware Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the other Basic Documents may be served. The Delaware Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as the location for such purposes. The Delaware Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor and to the holders of the Trust Certificates of any change in the location of the certificate register or any such office or agency.
Section 3.09 Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent. The certificate paying agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders from the amounts received from the Trustee for such purpose pursuant to the Indenture and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Delaware Trustee. Any certificate paying agent shall have the revocable power to receive such funds from the Trustee for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Delaware Trustee may revoke such power and remove the certificate paying agent if the Delaware Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the certificate paying agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The certificate paying agent shall initially be the Delaware Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Delaware Trustee, and acceptable to the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Delaware Trustee shall be permitted to resign as certificate paying agent upon 30 days written notice to the Issuer Administrator. In the event that the Delaware Trustee shall no longer be the certificate paying agent, the Delaware Trustee shall, with the written consent of the Sponsor, appoint a successor to act as certificate paying agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Delaware Trustee shall cause such successor certificate paying agent or any additional certificate paying agent appointed by the Delaware Trustee to execute and deliver to the Delaware Trustee an instrument in which such successor certificate paying agent or additional certificate paying agent shall agree with the Delaware Trustee that as certificate paying agent, such successor certificate paying agent or additional certificate paying agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The certificate paying agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Delaware Trustee and upon removal of a certificate paying agent such certificate paying agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Delaware Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05 and 8.01 shall apply to the Delaware Trustee also in its role as certificate paying agent, for so long as the Delaware Trustee shall act as certificate paying agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the certificate paying agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
Section 3.10 Restrictions on Transfer. (a) The Trust Certificates may not be offered or sold except to institutional "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1)-(3) or (7) under the Securities Act) who are U.S. Persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Trust Certificates have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act, or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Trust Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, the Delaware Trustee may require, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act, that the Certificateholders prospective transferee certify to the Delaware Trustee in writing the facts surrounding such disposition. Unless the Delaware Trustee requests otherwise, such certification shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. In the event that such certification of facts does not on its face establish the availability of an exemption under the Securities Act, the Delaware Trustee may require an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Delaware Trustee or of the Trust.
(b) Each Trust Certificate will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
"THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE, AGREES THAT THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND (1) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(a)(1)-(3) or (7) UNDER THE ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR, OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT.
THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO (1) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENTS, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS OR KEOGH PLANS SUBJECT TO EITHER TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, OR (2) ENTITIES (INCLUDING INSURANCE COMPANY GENERAL ACCOUNTS) WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN ASSETS BY REASON OF THE INVESTMENT BY SUCH PLANS, ARRANGEMENTS OR ACCOUNTS IN SUCH ENTITIES. FURTHER, THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY TO A UNITED STATES PERSON WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 7701(a)(30) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED.

ARTICLE V
APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES
Section 5.01 Application of Trust Funds.
(a) On each date that the Delaware Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, receives any funds from the Collection Fund (a "Distribution Date"), the Delaware Trustee shall distribute such amounts to the Certificateholder on such Distribution Date, pro rata based upon their Percentage Interests. All such funds to be distributed to the Delaware Trustee shall be wired in accordance with wiring instructions provided to the Trustee by the Delaware Trustee.
(b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Delaware Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to such Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Delaware Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust to be remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Delaware Trustee in its sole discretion may (but unless otherwise required by law shall not be obligated to) withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b). In the event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Delaware Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Delaware Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
(c) On the Closing Date, the Certificateholder shall receive all amounts received by the Trust from the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Derivative Product Agreement.
Section 5.02 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the certificate registrar appropriate written instructions signed by two authorized officers, if any, at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, which may be standing instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Trust Certificate will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Trust Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Delaware Trustee or such other location specified in writing to the Certificateholder thereof.
Section 5.03 No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Subject to Section 5.01, moneys received by the Delaware Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law or the any Basic Document and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.
Section 5.04 Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholder, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Delaware Trustee shall deliver to the Certificateholders (and to each Person who was a Certificateholder at any time during the applicable calendar year), as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required to enable the Certificateholder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust's characterization as a disregarded entity for Federal income tax purposes, so long as there is only one Certificateholder, no Federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (a) the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Sponsor and, if different, the holder of the Trust Certificate receives an opinion of counsel based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof that the Code requires such a filing, (b) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return or (c) there should be more than one Certificateholder. In the event that the Trust is required to file tax returns, the Delaware Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Financed Eligible Loans. The Delaware Trustee shall, if there is more than one Certificateholder or if it is otherwise required to file a return in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, prepare or cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust consistent with maintaining its characterization, for Federal income tax purposes, as a partnership and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or Federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain such characterization. If under applicable law, any holder of a Trust Certificate is required to sign or cause to be signed such returns, the Delaware Trustee shall remit such returns to the holder of the Trust Certificate having the largest Percentage Interest at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. In such case, that holder of the Trust Certificate shall promptly sign or cause to be signed such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Delaware Trustee and such returns shall be filed by, or at the direction of, the Delaware Trustee with the appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall any holder of the Trust Certificate be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith), except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to the holder of the Trust Certificate's breach of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 5.05 Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. The Delaware Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which case such Certificateholder shall sign such documents.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01 General Authority. The Delaware Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party, in each case, in such form as the Sponsor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Delaware Trustees execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Delaware Trustee is also authorized and directed on behalf of the Trust (i) to originate or acquire the Financed Eligible Loans and to transfer legal title to the Financed Eligible Loans to the Eligible Lender Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Eligible Lender Trust Agreement, (ii) to follow the direction of and cooperate with any Servicer to the extent necessary to enable such Servicer to fulfill its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement and (iii) to cooperate with the Issuer Administrator in submitting, pursuing and collecting any claims to and with the Department with respect to any interest subsidy payments and Special Allowance Payments relating to the Financed Eligible Loans.
In addition to the foregoing, the Delaware Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Delaware Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Issuer Administrator directs or instructs with respect to the Basic Documents and is directed to take such action to the extent that the Issuer Administrator is expressly required pursuant to the Basic Documents to cause the Delaware Trustee to act.
Section 6.02 General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Delaware Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Delaware Trustee shall on behalf of the Trust file and prove any claim or claims that may exist on behalf of the Trust against the Sponsor in connection with any claims paying procedure as part of an insolvency or a receivership proceeding involving the Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Delaware Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Basic Documents to the extent the Issuer Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement or the related administration agreement, as applicable, to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Delaware Trustee hereunder or under any other Basic Document, and the Delaware Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Issuer Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement or related administration agreement, as applicable. The Delaware Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect the Financed Eligible Loans or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Financed Eligible Loans.
Section 6.03 Action Upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV, Section 7.01 and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Delaware Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article VII.
(b) The Delaware Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Delaware Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Delaware Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.
(c) Whenever the Delaware Trustee is unable to determine the appropriate course of action between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other Basic Document, the Delaware Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Delaware Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholders received, the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Delaware Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
(d) In the event that the Delaware Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Delaware Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Delaware Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Delaware Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Delaware Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Delaware Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
Section 6.04 No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement, any other Basic Document or in Instructions. (a) The Delaware Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, service, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Delaware Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, or in any document or proper written instruction received by the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any other Basic Document. The Delaware Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against it in its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.
(b) The duties and responsibilities of the Delaware Trustee shall be as provided by this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Delaware Trustee to expand or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for its acts or omissions hereunder except as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Certificateholders, the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Certificateholder for the Delaware Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Certificateholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee.
Section 6.05 No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Delaware Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, service, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Delaware Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with this Agreement and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 6.06 Restrictions. (a) The Delaware Trustee shall not take any action (i) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (ii) that, to the actual knowledge of the Delaware Trustee, would result in the Trusts becoming taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Delaware Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.
(b) The Delaware Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Certificateholders shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. The Delaware Trustee shall not be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and the Delaware Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. The Delaware Trustee may engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as Sponsor, trustee or agent for securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Delaware Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Delaware Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Delaware Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Issuer Administrator.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Delaware Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Delaware Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SERVICING ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
This SERVICING ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT (the "Servicing Administration Agreement") is entered into as of October 1, 2005 by and between College Loan Corporation, having its principal office in San Diego, California (the "Servicing Administrator") and College Loan Corporation Trust 2005-2, a Delaware statutory trust, having its principal office in Wilmington, Delaware (the "Issuer").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Issuer acquires and holds student loans which are guaranteed under a guarantee program established pursuant to the requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the "Student Loans"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to this Servicing Administration Agreement the Servicing Administrator will agree to provide, or cause there to be provided, loan servicing services for certain Student Loans; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer wishes to retain the Servicing Administrator to service certain Student Loans owned by the Issuer as beneficial owner and by an eligible lender as eligible lender trustee (such Student Loans subject to this Servicing Administration Agreement being referred to herein as the "Financed Student Loans"), and the Servicing Administrator wishes to undertake the obligation to service or cause to be serviced all such Financed Student Loans in accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of Education and regulations and other requirements issued by any applicable guaranty agency or insurer (collectively, the "Higher Education Act") and under the terms hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Servicing Administrator may subcontract with other third parties, to the extent permitted by the hereinafter defined Indenture, to provide the services required of Servicing Administrator hereunder;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the Issuer and the Servicing Administrator agree as follows:
1. Servicing Requirement and Employment of Servicing Administrator
The Issuer hereby authorizes and appoints the Servicing Administrator to act as its agent for the limited purpose of performing servicing for the Financed Student Loans. The Servicing Administrator agrees to perform such functions in compliance with all requirements of the Higher Education Act and all other applicable laws and regulations, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Servicing Administration Agreement.
The authorization granted by this Servicing Administration Agreement includes, but is not limited to, correspondence and communication with any guaranty agency or the U.S. Department of Education regarding the Financed Student Loans, the assignment of claims to any guaranty agency or insurer, communication with borrowers and any other communication, correspondence, signature or other act required to service the Financed Student Loans in accordance with requirements of the Higher Education Act or regulations promulgated by any guaranty agency.
The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicing Administrator to enter into servicing contracts to provide the services required of the Servicing Administrator hereunder and to meet any obligations of the Issuer hereunder, including the Student Loan Origination and Servicing Agreement, dated April 24, 2000, between JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as successor to Bank One National Association), as eligible lender trustee for the Servicing Administrator and Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc. ("Great Lakes") and the Federal/FFEL Origination/Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2000, between JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as successor to Bank One National Association), as eligible lender trustee for the Servicing Administrator and ACS Education Loan Services, Inc. (together with Great Lakes, the "Servicers") permitted by the Indenture of Trust dated as of October 1, 2005 (the "Indenture") among the Issuer, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as eligible lender trustee (the "Eligible Lender Trustee"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee (together with its successors and assigns, the "Trustee").
2. Term
The term of this Servicing Administration Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Servicing Administration Agreement and shall continue for an initial period of three (3) years. At the expiration of the initial term (including any extensions thereof), the term shall automatically extend for one additional year each year thereafter, unless either party gives 90 days written notice prior to the end of the initial term or any extension of the term. The Servicing Administrator may, concurrent with the beginning of any extension of the term, increase the fees, charges and expenses from those set forth in Exhibit A hereto by giving at least one hundred twenty (120) days notice prior to the beginning of such extension of the term. In no case will any individual fee charge or expense increase more than 2% above the immediately preceding fee developed in accordance with this Section or Section 3 below.
The representations and warranties of the Servicing Administrator in Section 7, and the indemnities in Section 14 shall survive any termination of this Servicing Administration Agreement. If servicing of any Financed Student Loan is transferred to a successor servicer, such successor servicer shall be required by the Issuer to engage in good faith efforts to obtain payment on any claim initially rejected by a guaranty agency or insurer for payment including, without limitation, involving the Servicing Administrator in such effort, where the reason for claim denial relates to the period during which the Servicing Administrator serviced such Financed Student Loan hereunder.
3. Fees and Payment of Fees
a. | Initially fees shall be charged in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A hereto. |
b. | Servicing Administrator shall submit an invoice monthly to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall remit payment for services performed as shown on that invoice. |
c. | Payment is due within 30 days after receipt of the Billing Package. The Billing Package shall consist of an invoice, and supporting documentation. The Servicing Administrator shall be paid interest at a rate of prime + 2% per annum for fees not paid within sixty (60) days of the most recent Billing Package. This charge shall apply to each thirty (30) day period until the fee is paid. Prime rate will be the rate reported in the Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of the month in which the Billing Package was received. |
d. | The Servicing Administrator acknowledges that the Issuer shall be entitled to receive all payments of principal, interest, Special Allowance Payments and late charges received with respect to the Financed Student Loans and that the Servicing Administrator shall have no right to retain such amounts as payment of any fees due to the Servicing Administrator from the Issuer under the terms of this Servicing Administration Agreement. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicing Administrator to assess, collect and retain any charges which the Issuer is permitted by law or regulation to assess with respect to not sufficient fund ("NSF") processing or other collection costs. |
e. | If other costs beyond the control of the Servicing Administrator shall increase, including, without limitation, postal rates, or the imposition of any tax or assessment not currently being charged against the fees of the Servicing Administrator, then the Servicing Administrator shall provide the Issuer with 90 days' prior written notice (and including supporting documentation) of such proposed increased costs and expenses. If the Issuer accepts such increased costs and expenses, the increased costs and expenses will go into effect at the end of such 90 day period. If the Issuer objects to such fee increase and the Servicing Administrator fails to agree to reduce or eliminate the increase in a manner satisfactory to the Issuer, then an early termination will occur and the Financed Student Loans will be deconverted at cost within 180 days of receipt of said notice. The Issuer shall not be permitted to so terminate this Servicing Administration Agreement unless and until the Issuer shall have entered into another agreement similar to this with the Servicing Administrator or another servicer satisfying the Rating Agency Confirmation. |
f. |
If the Servicing Administrator's costs and expenses are increased due to changes
in the manner of servicing the Financed Student Loans as a result of changes in
the Higher Education Act or the interpretation thereof or due to changes in
guaranty agency requirements, then 90 days after delivery of written notice to
the Issuer the Servicing Administrator may increase servicing fees payable
hereunder to reasonably reflect such costs and expenses. However, no such
increase shall take effect until the Servicing Administrator provides supporting
documentation to the Issuer that justifies such increase. In the event the
parties do not agree on the interpretation of the changes to the Higher
Education Act, then either party may terminate this Servicing Administration
Agreement upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party; provided,
however, that this Servicing Administration Agreement shall not be so terminated
by the Issuer unless and until the Issuer shall have entered into another
agreement similar to this with the Servicing Administrator or another servicer
satisfying the Rating Agency Confirmation. If the Issuer believes the cost for services under this Servicing Administration Agreement are lower by changes in regulations, law or processing, the Issuer will submit a proposed fee schedule to the Servicing Administrator. If the Servicing Administrator does not reject the schedule, the fees will go into effect 90 days thereafter. |
4. Loan Servicing
The Servicing Administrator covenants and agrees to service each Financed Student Loan in compliance with all requirements of the Higher Education Act and all other applicable laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, in fulfillment of its obligations hereunder, the Servicing Administrator shall:
a. | Maintain a complete and separate file for the Financed Student Loans of each borrower, which file shall include all documentation and correspondence related to the Financed Student Loans. |
b. | Perform the actions necessary to maintain the guarantee and/or insurance on each Financed Student Loan at all times. |

The Servicing Administrator shall remit collected funds by automated clearing house (ACH) to the Trustee as the Servicing Administrator and Issuer shall mutually agree. Upon submission by the Servicing Administrator to the Secretary of Education of a billing for Interest Benefit Payments or Special Allowance Payments, the Servicing Administrator shall, upon request, provide to the Trustee a written statement indicating (i) the amount billed for Interest Benefit Payments and (ii) the principal amount in each Special Allowance Payment category for which the billing is submitted, for use by the Trustee in verifying amounts billed for and received with respect thereto from the Secretary of Education. In the event of discrepancies or disputes with the Secretary of Education, the Servicing Administrator shall be responsible for representing the interests of the Issuer and the Trustee in effecting a settlement with the Secretary of Education of such discrepancies or disputes. |
f. | Retain summary records of contacts, follow-ups and collection efforts, and records of written correspondence relating to the Financed Student Loans of each borrower sufficient to ensure claim payment. |
g. | Process adjustments including NSF checks, status changes, forbearances, deferments and Financed Student Loans paid in full. |
h. | Prepare and transmit to the Issuer or its designee documents required by the U. S. Department of Education or any guaranty agency or the Higher Education Act. |

j. | At all times identify the Issuer and the Eligible Lender Trustee as the beneficial owners of the Financed Student Loan and identify the Trustee as a party which maintains a security interest in the Financed Student Loan. |
k. | Maintain a duplicate or copy of the file (which may be in the form of computer tape, microfilm or other electronic image) for each borrower at an off-site location. |
l. | Maintain the original file in fireproof cabinets or in other fireproof storage sufficient to protect the contents from a temperature of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. |
m. | Prepare and furnish to the Issuer by the 15th day of each month, the reports described in Exhibit B attached hereto related to the Financed Student Loans. |
n. | (i) | Obtain and maintain or cause to be obtained and maintained in force a fidelity bond in an amount of at least $1,000,000 upon all personnel of the Servicing Administrator insuring against any loss or damage which the Issuer or the Servicing Administrator might suffer as a consequence of any fraudulent or dishonest act of such personnel. |
(ii) | Obtain and maintain or cause to be obtained and maintained in force Errors and Omissions insurance coverage in an amount equal to at least $2,000,000 for all its customers. |
o. | Immediately respond to any communication received which is in the nature of a complaint. Promptly answer all inquiries from borrowers or the Issuer pertaining to the Financed Student Loans, disbursements, refunds or school status. Such inquiries may, if necessary, be referred to the educational institution the student attended or is attending. The Servicing Administrator shall have no responsibility with respect to any dispute between the student and the educational institution regarding tuition, fees or refunds. |
p. | Establish and maintain a method for charging and collecting late payment fees in accordance with provisions of the Higher Education Act and all other applicable laws and regulations. |
q. | The Servicing Administrator shall act as custodian and bailee with respect to all original documents and shall hold them subject to the lien of the Indenture in favor of the Trustee and pursuant to the Custodian Agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto. The Servicing Administrator agrees to enter into any reasonable custodian, bailment or similar agreement reasonably required by the Issuer with respect to perfecting and protecting the security interests of any secured party. |
r. | If any Financed Student Loan has lost its guarantee and/or insurance due to the actions of any prior issuer or the servicer or holder of the Financed Student Loan, the Servicing Administrator will, at the written request of the Issuer, use its best efforts to reinstate such guarantee or insurance; provided, however, that the Servicing Administrator makes no representation that such reinstatement will occur. Such services shall be provided at the cost agreed upon by the Issuer and the Servicing Administrator as defined in Exhibit A under cure services; provided that such services shall be provided by the Servicing Administrator at no cost to the extent the Servicers or another servicing administrator or servicer is required to provide such services to the Servicing Administrator at no cost. |
s. | The Servicing Administrator shall remit monthly rebate fees to the United States Department of Education with respect to the Financed Student Loans to the extent amounts are made available to the Servicing Administrator in accordance with the following sentence. Upon receipt of satisfactory documentation, the Issuer shall promptly wire transfer to the Servicing Administrator, from amounts held under the Indenture, the amount of funds required to pay such fees. The Servicing Administrator shall provide the Issuer, on a monthly basis, with information needed to determine the monthly rebate fees. |
5. Due Diligence

b. | If a Financed Student Loan is denied the guarantee by the guaranty agency or the loss of federal interest, special allowance, and/or insurance benefits, the Servicing Administrator shall have the right to take any action not prohibited by law or regulation to reduce its losses, if any, hereunder, including but not limited to curing, at its own expense, any due diligence or other servicing violation. If any lost guarantee is not reinstated within nine months of the date the Servicing Administrator learns of the loss of the guarantee on a Financed Student Loan, the Servicing Administrator shall take actions which make the Issuer whole with respect to the Financed Student Loan while maintaining the eligibility for future reinstatement of the guarantee; provided, however, the Servicing Administrator may delay taking such actions by giving written notice to the Issuer not less often than each 90 days that the Servicing Administrator has reason to believe that the guarantee will be reinstated within time frames permitted by regulations. If the Servicing Administrator gives notice of such delay, the Servicing Administrator agrees to pay any accrued interest on the account that may be uninsured. The Issuer agrees to use its best efforts to cause the repurchase, at par plus insured interest and benefits thereon, of any Financed Student Loan which is cured and is reinsured subsequent to its sale by the Issuer pursuant to actions taken by the Servicing Administrator to make the Issuer whole and if the sale was to an eligible lender to the extent the Issuer has, or can make available, funds therefor. |
c. | The Servicing Administrator shall have no responsibility for any error or omission (including due diligence violations) which occurred prior to the date the Servicing Administrator assumed responsibility for servicing the Financed Student Loan, nor shall the Servicing Administrator be responsible for losses, damages or expenses arising from any change in law or regulation which retroactively imposes additional requirements for documentation or servicing actions, provided that the Servicing Administrator has made best efforts to comply with retroactive additional requirements. |
15. Confidentiality
The contents of this Servicing Administration Agreement, together with all supporting documents, exhibits, schedules, and any amendments thereto which form the basis of the business relationship between the Issuer and the Servicing Administrator, insofar as the same relate to the fees charged by the Servicing Administrator which are listed in Exhibit A hereto, shall be held in strict confidence by both parties and shall not be disclosed or otherwise discussed with any third party (unless required by law or regulation) except outside counsel or independent accounts without the prior written consent of the other party.
16. Sale or Transfer of Loans; Limitations
