GUARANTEE OF LOANS
| 2.1 |
XXXX hereby guarantees to the LENDER, unconditionally except as
set forth in Section 2.2 below, the payment of 100% of the principal of and
accrued interest on every Loan as to which a Guaranty Event has occurred.
"Accrued interest" shall mean interest accrued and unpaid to the date of payment
in full by XXXX, less any interest that shall have accrued after the filing of a
claim for guaranty payment submitted to XXXX by the LENDER but before XXXX shall
have received all the documentation necessary to process the guaranty claim as
set forth in the Program Guidelines. XXXX will use all reasonable efforts to
make payment on its guaranty within sixty (60) days, and will in any event make
payment within ninety (90) days, of receipt of a demand from the LENDER stating
the name of the Borrower and the type of Guaranty Event that has occurred
accompanied by the full claim documentation required in the Program Guidelines.
|
| 2.2 |
TERI's guaranty is conditioned upon the following:
|
|
a. |
The LENDER must have filed its claim for guaranty payment within
the time period and following the procedures specified in the Program
Guidelines. |
|
b. |
The LENDER and its predecessors in interest must at all times have
exercised Due Diligence with respect to the Loan (or shall have cured any
failure to exercise Due Diligence under the reinstatement provisions in Section
2.4 hereof and the Program Guidelines), and must have complied with all other
requirements of the Program Guidelines applicable to the Loan. |
|
c. |
The LENDER shall have paid to XXXX the Initial Guaranty Fee (as
defined in Section 3.3.a below) for the Loan in question, and shall have paid to
the Agent any Subsequent Guaranty Fee (as defined in Section 3.3.b below) for
the Loan in question which is due and payable as provided in Section 3.3.b
below. |
|
d. |
XXXX must have received from the LENDER the original Promissory
Note, enforceable against the Borrower (except as provided in this Section
2.2(d), below), endorsed to XXXX in such manner as to transfer to XXXX all
rights in and title to such Promissory Note, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, and of all defenses, counterclaims, offsets, and rights of
rescission that might be raised by the Borrower. Submission of a claim to XXXX
shall constitute the LENDER's certification that the conditions of 2.2.b. and
2.2.d. have been met, and XXXX is entitled to rely on such certification.
Subsections 2.2.b. and 2.2.d above notwithstanding, if a Loan submitted for
guaranty was originated by XXXX on behalf of the LENDER pursuant to a Loan
Origination Agreement between the parties, (i) XXXX will not deny the LENDER's
guaranty claim on such Loan if the sole basis for denial is a violation of the
Program Guidelines or a violation of Massachusetts or federal law committed by
XXXX in the origination process, and (ii) XXXX will have no recourse against the
LENDER in the event that TERI's actions or omissions in the origination process
shall have given rise to a defense in favor of the Borrower in a suit on the
Promissory Note.
|
| 2.3 |
TERI's guaranty obligation with respect to any Loan shall not be
terminated or otherwise affected or impaired (i) by the LENDER's granting an
extension to the Borrower of time to make scheduled payments, or by any other
indulgence the LENDER may grant to the Borrower, provided that all extensions
and other indulgences meet the forbearance standards and other requirements of
the Program Guidelines; or, Section 2.2.d above notwithstanding, (ii) because of
any fraud in the execution of the Promissory Note, (iii) because of any
illegal or improper acts of the Borrower, (iv) because the Borrower may be
relieved of liability for such Loan due to lack of contractual capacity or any
other statutory exemption.
|
| 2.4 |
If XXXX properly denies the LENDER's claim on any Loan on the
grounds of Due Diligence deficiencies, the LENDER may thereafter require that
XXXX reinstate the guaranty of such Loan if (a) the LENDER corrects such
deficiencies and receives four (4) consecutive full on-time monthly payments
from the Borrower, according to any schedule permitted by the Program
Guidelines, and if at the time of the LENDER's request the Borrower is within
thirty (30) days of being current on all principal and interest payments on such
Loan, or (b) the LENDER satisfies any other method of cure set forth in the
Program Guidelines.
|
| 2.5 |
TERI's guaranty hereunder is a continuing and absolute guaranty of
payment and not merely of collection, covering Loans made in accordance herewith
either (i) prior to termination of this Agreement, or (ii) based upon
applications received by the LENDER prior to such termination; and shall not
affect TERI's obligations to the LENDER then existing, whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, then due or thereafter to become due.
|
| 2.6 |
XXXX agrees not to exercise any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or the like against the Borrower of any
Loan unless and until all TERI's obligations under this Agreement with respect
to such Loan have been satisfied in full, except to the extent that it is deemed
a valid claimant as a contingent creditor, for example, under Title 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), or applicable state law.
|
| 2.7 |
XXXX will permit the LENDER, any duly designated representative of
the LENDER, or any governmental body having jurisdiction over the LENDER
(subject to written notice being provided to XXXX by the LENDER, identifying the
requesting party and the date of the review), to examine and audit the books and
records of XXXX pertaining to the Loans, at any time during TERI's regular
business hours, provided that in the case of examinations by the LENDER or its
representative absent good cause (i) XXXX must be given ten (10) business days'
prior written notice and, (ii) no more than one such audit may be conducted with
respect to any twelve-month period or will take place in any twelve-month
period. In no event will any audit be performed during July, August, September,
or October in any year except at the request of a regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the LENDER.
|
| 2.8 |
XXXX will indemnify the LENDER and hold it harmless from and
against any loss, cost, damage and expense that the LENDER may suffer as a
result of claims arising out of TERI's actions or omissions relative to the
LENDER's participation in the Program. "Expense" includes, without limitation,
the LENDER's reasonable attorney's fees. XXXX will further indemnify the LENDER
and hold it harmless from and against any claim brought against the LENDER by
any Borrower based on actions or omissions of the LENDER that were mandated
under the Program Guidelines.
|
| 2.9 |
Although the LENDER agrees not to use any loan servicer not
approved by XXXX, the LENDER acknowledges that TERI's approval of a servicer is
in no way an endorsement of such servicer and that XXXX shall have no liability
to the LENDER for any losses arising from such servicer's failure to comply with
Due Diligence or the Program Guidelines or applicable law, nor shall XXXX be
required to honor any claim submitted by such servicer if the claim does not
comply with the requirements of this Agreement.
|
Section
3: OBLIGATIONS OF THE LENDER
| 3.1 |
In originating, servicing, disbursing, and collecting Loans, the
LENDER will comply, and cause its servicer and others acting on its behalf to
comply, with all applicable requirements of federal and state laws and
regulations.
|
| 3.2 |
The LENDER will use Promissory Notes, Loan applications,
disclosure statements, and other forms mutually agreeable to the parties. The
forms of application and Promissory Note and disclosure statement attached
hereto as part of the Program Guidelines are agreed to be satisfactory to both
parties. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1, the LENDER warrants the
conformity of such instruments and any agreed successors thereto with all
applicable legal requirements, other than those of federal and Massachusetts law
and regulation, and XXXX warrants their conformity with Massachusetts and
federal law.
|
| 3.3 |
The LENDER will pay a guaranty fee for each Loan (the "Guaranty
Fee") as follows:
|
|
a. |
At the time of each disbursement of the Loan, the LENDER will
promptly remit to XXXX one and [**] of the principal amount of Loan disbursed
(the "Initial Guaranty Fee"). |
|
b. |
At such times as are set forth in Schedule 3.3 attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, such additional fees as are set forth in the
fifth and sixth columns of Schedule 3.3 ("Subsequent Guaranty Fee"). If the
terms of Schedule 3.3 call for any Guaranty Fees to be paid to XXXX or to the
Agent concurrent with the Securitization Transaction, LENDER may elect either:
(i) for LENDER to pay the fees directly (and be reimbursed in the Securitization
Transaction), or (ii) for the purchaser to pay the fees directly. In the event
that a Guaranty claim is made with respect to a Loan before a Subsequent
Guaranty Fee is scheduled to be paid by the LENDER for such Loan, the Subsequent
Guaranty Fee shall become immediately due and payable. In the event that a loan
is prepaid in full prior to the date that a Subsequent Guaranty Fee is scheduled
to be paid by the LENDER for such Loan, the Subsequent Guaranty Fee shall
nevertheless become due and payable at the time that would have applied if such
prepayment had not occurred. For example, if a Subsequent Guaranty Fee is due at
the time of a Securitization Transaction and a Loan is prepaid before it is
eligible for Securitization, then the Subsequent Guaranty Fee with respect to
such Loan shall become due at the first Securitization Transaction when such
Loan would have been eligible for inclusion, had prepayment not occurred. |
|
c. |
Failure to remit any Guaranty Fee within thirty (30) days of the
time set forth above will not be a breach of this Agreement but will void TERI's
guaranty of the Loan concerned. |
|
d. |
Anything in the Program Guidelines to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the LENDER is required under the terms of a Promissory Note
to refund all or part of the Guaranty Fees identified above to a Borrower, XXXX
will refund all or part of the Initial Guaranty Fee and the Agent will refund
all or part of any Subsequent Guaranty Fee it has received to the LENDER upon
being so advised in writing. |
| 3.4 |
If XXXX shall have purchased a Loan due to the occurrence or
alleged occurrence of a Guaranty Event described in Section 1.4.a and/or 1.4.b
above, the LENDER will promptly repurchase such Loan from XXXX, (i) if XXXX
succeeds, after purchase, in obtaining from the Borrower three full consecutive
on-time monthly payments, according to any schedule permitted by the Program
Guidelines, provided that on the date of TERI's notice to repurchase, the
Borrower is within thirty (30) days of being current on his or her payments on
such Loan; provided that this repurchase obligation may be invoked by XXXX only
once as to any Loan; or (ii) subject to Section 2.3 above, if XXXX should
determine that the Loan does not meet the conditions set forth in subsection
(b), (c) and (d) of Section 2.2 above.
|
| 3.5 |
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the LENDER will deliver
to XXXX such reports, documents, and other information concerning the Loans as
XXXX may reasonably require, and permit independent auditors or authorized
representatives of XXXX, and governmental agencies, if any, having regulatory
authority over XXXX, to have access to the operational and financial records and
procedures directly applicable to Loans and to the LENDER's participation in the
Program.
|
| 3.6 |
If the LENDER should violate any term of this Agreement, it will
be liable to XXXX for all loss, cost, damage, and expense sustained by XXXX as a
result. The LENDER will indemnify XXXX and hold it harmless from and against all
loss, cost, damage, and expense that XXXX may suffer as a result of claims
arising out of the LENDER's actions or omissions relative to the LENDER's
participation in the Program unless such actions or omissions are specifically
required by this Agreement. The LENDER will similarly indemnify XXXX with
respect to any defenses arising from the LENDER's violation of or failure to
comply with any law, regulation, or order, or any term of this Agreement, that
may be raised by a Borrower to any suit upon a Promissory Note. "Expense"
includes, without limitation, TERI's reasonable attorney's fees.
|

WARRANTIES

|
| 5.2 |
Each party's respective rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and
discretions ("Rights and Remedies") shall be cumulative and not exclusive. No
delay or omission by either party in exercising or enforcing any of its Rights
and Remedies shall operate as to constitute a waiver of them. No waiver by a
party of any default under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any
subsequent or other default under this Agreement. No single or partial exercise
by a party of any of its Rights and Remedies shall preclude the other or further
exercise of such Rights and Remedies. No waiver or modification by a party of
the Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a continuing waiver.
A party may exercise its various Rights and Remedies at such time or times and
in such order of preference as it in its sole discretion may determine. In no
event will either party be liable to the other for special, incidental, or
consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits, even if
advised in advance of the possibility of the same, or for punitive or exemplary
damages, provided that such exclusions shall not apply to the indemnification
against an award of such damages pursuant to a third party claim.
|
| 5.3 |
This Agreement represents the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement, together with any
contemporaneous contract concerning credit analysis or other loan origination
functions, supersedes all prior communications whatsoever between the parties
relative in any way to Loans or the LENDER's participation in the Program. This
Agreement may be modified only by written agreement of the parties hereto,
except as may otherwise be set forth herein.

with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the
conflict of laws provisions thereof.
|

applicable to such Loan, to FMC or any SPE; and (b) XXXX has subcontracted and
may hereafter sub-contract any administrative obligations necessary or

Section 6:
CHANGES TO PROGRAM GUIDELINES
The parties agree that the Program Guidelines will need to be
updated and modified to respond to changed conditions from time to time. The
parties intend to make such modifications in a manner that does not interfere
with the ordinary advertising and origination cycle for education loans.
Amendments necessary to meet state or federal regulatory requirements may be
made at any time. With respect to all other changes, the parties shall exchange
requests for modification of the Program Guidelines, including without
limitation any requested changes to the provisions of the Program Guidelines
concerning the Guaranty Fees, in the first part of the first calendar quarter of
each year. Each party shall respond in writing to proposals from the other

differences within 30 days after receiving a response to a request. All
modifications must be mutually acceptable. Any modifications approved by the
parties and not requiring system adjustments by the LENDER's loan servicer shall
take effect within thirty (30) days after approval. Modifications requiring
system adjustments by the LENDER's loan servicer shall take effect as soon after
approval as such servicer shall be able to adjust its systems to accept loans
made on the modified terms. The parties shall use their best efforts to conclude
all negotiations of proposed changes prior to May 1 of each year. The foregoing
process shall not apply to modification of the Servicing Guidelines, which are
subject to a modification process contained therein.
Section 7:
TERM AND TERMINATION

The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on May 15, 2002,

In the event that the parties are unable to agree on a proposed
modification to the Program Guidelines as provided in Section 7, above, the
party proposing the modification shall have the option of terminating this
Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the other party. Such
termination will be effective on the following [**].
|
| 7.3 |
To the extent permitted by applicable law, if either party should
become subject to bankruptcy, receivership, or other proceedings affecting the
rights of its creditors generally, this Agreement will be deemed terminated
thereupon immediately without the need of notice from the other party, and the
party becoming subject to such proceedings will promptly notify the other party
thereof.
|
| 7.4 |
Termination shall be prospective only and shall not affect the
obligations of the parties hereto which were incurred prior to such termination
or any of the warranties and indemnities contained herein or the provisions of
Section 8 below (regarding confidentiality). Not less than [**] days prior to
the effective date of termination, XXXX may by additional notice to the Lender
terminate its obligation to assume the guaranty of all or any subset of
otherwise qualifying Loans as to which a commitment to lend is made after the
Lender's receipt of such additional notice. In the absence of such additional
notice XXXX will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, assume
the guaranty of all Loans as to which a commitment to lend is made prior to the
effective date of termination. In the event this Agreement terminates or expires
and only one disbursement of a multi-disbursement loan has been made prior to
