Loans are not sold pursuant to Section 6.1A, to pay as an accelerated payment of
principal balance of the Notes, first to the Class A Noteholders in the same
order and priority as is set forth in Sections 2.7C.6 and C.7 until the
principal amount of the Class A Notes is paid in full and then to the Class B
Noteholders until the principal balance of the Class B Notes is
6
reduced to zero, provided that the amount of such distribution shall not exceed

the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Notes or the Class B Notes, as
applicable, after giving effect to all other payments in respect of principal of
Class A Notes and Class B Notes to be made on such date; and (F) to distribute
the remaining amount of such excess (i) to the Seller, to the extent of any
portion thereof that is attributable to the reduction from time to time of the
Specified Reserve Account Balance, and (ii) to the Seller or its assignee, as
holder of the Excess Distribution Certificate, any remaining portion thereof.
Amounts properly distributed to the Seller or such holder pursuant to this
paragraph C.1 shall be deemed released from the Trust Estate and the security
interest therein granted to the Indenture Trustee, and the Seller or such holder
shall in no event thereafter be required to refund any such distributed amounts.
C.2. In the event of a termination of a Swap Agreement that requires
the Trust to make a termination payment to the applicable Swap Counterparty,
such termination payment shall be paid in the same order of priority as the Swap
Fee in Sections 2.7C.3 and 2.8B.3 and the Swap Payment in Sections 2.7C.10 and
2.8C.1(C), as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event that the
Trust is required to make a termination payment to a Swap Counterparty as a
result of (i) an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Swap
Agreement) where the Swap Counterparty is the Defaulting Party (as such term is
defined in the Swap Agreement) or (ii) a Termination Event (as such term is
defined in the Swap Agreement), such termination payment will be subordinate in
priority to the right of the Class A Noteholders to receive the Class A
Noteholders' Distribution Amount and to the Class B Noteholders to receive the
Class B Noteholders' Distribution Amount and, if necessary, to the reinstatement
of the balance of the Reserve Account up to the Specified Reserve Account
Balance. In the event of a termination of a Swap Agreement that requires the
Trust to make a termination payment to the applicable Swap Counterparty except
as described in the proviso above, the Administrator promptly shall notify the
Rating Agencies of such requirement and, within thirty (30) days of such
termination payment, shall provide to the Rating Agencies cash flows and such
other financial information with respect to the Trust as the Rating Agencies may
reasonably request.
D. On the final Distribution Date upon termination of the Trust and
following the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
the Notes and of all other amounts (other than Swap Payments and Carryover
Servicing Fees) owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture to
Noteholders, the Servicer, the Administrator or the Swap Counterparties, to the
extent that Available Funds on such date are insufficient to make the following
payments, amounts remaining in the Reserve Account shall be used first to pay
any unpaid Swap Payments and second to pay any Carryover Servicing Fees. Any
amount remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account after such payments have been
made shall be distributed to the Seller. The Seller shall in no event be
required to refund any amounts properly distributed pursuant to this Section
2.8D.
E. Anything in this Section 2.8 to the contrary notwithstanding, if
the market value of securities and cash in the Reserve Account is on any
Distribution Date sufficient to pay the remaining principal amount of and
interest accrued on the Notes, and to pay any unpaid Swap Payments and Carryover
Servicing Fee, such amount will be so applied on such Distribution
7
Date and the Administrator shall instruct the Eligible Lender Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee to make such payments.
(e) Section 2.9.e is deleted, Sections 2.9.f-j are redesignated as
Sections 2.9.e-i and the following is inserted as Section 2.9.j:
j. The amount of the Swap Fee and Swap Payments made to the Swap
Counterparties on such Distribution Date;
In addition, the first sentence of the first paragraph after Section 2.9.n is
deleted and replaced with the following:
Each amount set forth pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (h), (i) and
(l) above shall be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000 of original principal
balance of a Note.
(f) The last sentence of Section 3.1D is deleted and replaced with
the following:
In connection therewith, the Administrator shall calculate the Three-Month
LIBOR or One-Month and Two-Month LIBOR for the first Accrual Period, as
applicable, in accordance with the definitions thereof and shall also determine
the Student Loan Rate with respect to such Distribution Date. In addition, the
Administrator hereby accepts the delegation to it of the obligations of the
"Calculation Agent" under the Swap Agreements.
(g) A new subparagraph, 4.2 (iv), is inserted as follows:
and
(iv) any claim for failure to comply with the provisions of 34 CFR Sec.
682.203(b) (other than for the Eligible Lender Trustee's failure to qualify
as an eligible lender under the Act).
In addition, the "or" is deleted from subparagraph 4.2 (ii) and the "." is
deleted from subparagraph 4.2 (iii) and is replaced with ";".
(h) Sections 6.1A and B are deleted and replaced with the following:
8
Section 6.1 Termination.
-----------
A. Optional Purchase of All Trust Student Loans. The Administrator shall
--------------------------------------------
notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee in writing, within 15 days after the
last day of any Collection Period as of which the then outstanding Pool Balance
is 12% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, of the percentage that the then
outstanding Pool Balance bears to the Initial Pool Balance. As of the last day
of any Collection Period immediately preceding a Distribution Date as of which
the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance,
the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf and at the direction of the Seller, or any
other "eligible lender" (within the meaning of the Higher Education Act)
designated by the Seller in writing to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, shall have the option to purchase the Trust Estate, other
than the Trust Accounts. To exercise such option, the Seller shall deposit
pursuant to Section 2.6 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
aggregate Purchase Amount for the Trust Student Loans and the related rights
with respect thereto, plus the appraised value of any such other property held
by the Trust other than the Trust Accounts, such value to be determined by an
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Seller, the Eligible Lender Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust;
provided, however, that the Seller may not effect such purchase if such
-------- -------
aggregate Purchase Amounts do not equal or exceed the Minimum Purchase Amount
plus any amounts owing to the Swap Counterparties and any Carryover Servicing
Fees. In the event the Seller fails to notify the Eligible Lender Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee in writing prior to the acceptance by the Indenture
Trustee of a bid to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.4 of the
Indenture that the Seller intends to exercise its option to purchase the Trust
Estate, the Seller shall be deemed to have waived its option to purchase the
Trust Estate as long as the Seller has received 5 business days' notice from the
Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 4.4 of the Indenture.
B. Insolvency of the Seller. Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust
------------------------
pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Trust Agreement, the Administrator shall instruct
the Indenture Trustee in writing to deposit the net proceeds from such sale
after all payments and reserves therefrom (including the expenses of such sale)
have been made (the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the
first Distribution Date following the date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are
deposited in the Collection Account, the Administrator shall instruct the
Indenture Trustee to make the following distributions (after the application on
such Distribution Date of the amount of Available Funds and amounts on deposit
in the Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.8) from the Insolvency
Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account (including
the proceeds of any sale of investments therein as described in the following
sentence):
a. to the Class A Noteholders, any unpaid Class A Noteholders' Interest
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date as set forth in
Sections 2.7C.4;
b. to the Class A Noteholders, the outstanding principal balance of the
Class A Notes in the same order and priority as is set forth in
Sections 2.7C.6 and C.7;
9
c. to the Class B Noteholders, any unpaid Class B Noteholders' Interest
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;
d. to the Class B Noteholders, the outstanding principle balance of the
the Class B Notes;
e. to the applicable Swap Counterparties, in proportion to their
respective entitlements under the applicable Swap Agreements without
preference or priority, any unpaid Swap Payments; and
f. to the Servicer, any unpaid Carryover Servicing Fees.
Any investment on deposit in the Reserve Account that will not mature on or
before such Distribution Date shall be sold by the Indenture Trustee at
such time as will result in the Indenture Trustee receiving the proceeds
from such sale not later than the Business Day preceding such Distribution
Date. Any Insolvency Proceeds remaining after the deposits described above
shall be paid to the Seller.
(i) Section 8.5 is amended by inserting at the end of the first paragraph
the following:
and that such action will not materially adversely affect (i) the Trust's
ability to enforce or protect its rights or remedies under the Swap
Agreements, (ii) the ability of the Trust to timely and fully perform its
obligations under the Swap Agreements or (iii) any of the Trust's
obligations under the Swap Agreements or any swap transaction under such
agreements. Any such amendment, modification or supplement without the
applicable Swap Counterparty's consent shall not be binding on that Swap
Counterparty.
6. Each of the parties named on the signature pages to this Supplement by
execution of this Supplement agrees, for the benefit of the Administrator and
the other signatories hereto, to be bound by the terms of the Agreement in
connection with the Trust, this Supplement and the other Basic Documents to the
extent reference is made in the Agreement to such party. The rights and
obligations of such parties under the Agreement resulting from the execution of
this Supplement (other than the Seller) shall be applicable only with respect to
the Trust, this Supplement and the other Basic Documents.
This Supplement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York, without reference to the conflict of law provisions thereof, and
the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.
This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
