Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Class I-A-1 Notes, Class I-A-2 Notes, Class I-B Notes, Class II-A-1 Notes and Class II-A-2 Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-5, respectively, are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the holder of the Notes. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like initial principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.04. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall be "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

At the option of the holder of the Notes, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, a like class and a like aggregate initial principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the holder of the Notes shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the holder of the Notes making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as depositary (the "Depositary") with respect to the each Class of the Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to act as custodian with respect to the Notes.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the holder of the Notes thereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

No service charge shall be made to a holder of the Notes for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

SECTION 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Insurer in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the holder of the Notes thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.06. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and any agent of the Issuer, the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, interest (and any related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover and payments made under the Group I or Group II Cap Agreement, as applicable, with respect to the related group of Notes and such Class of Notes), if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.07. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest; Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover.

(a)

The Class I-A-1 Notes, Class I-A-2 Notes, Class I-B Notes, Class II-A-1 Notes and Class II-A-2 Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the forms of the Class I-A-1 Note, Class I-A-2 Note, Class I-B Note, Class II-A-1 Note and Class II-A-2 Note set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-5, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Distribution Date as specified therein, subject to Section 3.01. Any installment of interest (and any related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover with respect to each Class of Notes) or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, 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 will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the applicable Note Final Maturity Date which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

(b)

The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the form of Class I-A-1 Note, Class I-A-2 Note, Class I-B Note, Class II-A-1 Note and Class II-A-2 Note set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-5, respectively, to the extent the amount of funds required and available to be distributed in respect of principal on such Class of Notes pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, the entire unpaid principal amount of each Class of Notes shall be due and payable on its respective Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, if the Indenture Trustee, or (with respect to the Group I Notes only) the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes, or (with respect to the Group II Notes only) the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then by the Group II Controlling Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group II Notes) have declared the related group of Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Class of Notes entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest (and any related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover with respect to such Class of Notes) on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final 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. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes as provided in Section 10.02.

(c)

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on any Class of the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Note Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the persons who are holders of such Class or Classes of Notes on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least three Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each holder of the affected Class or Classes of Notes a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(i)

the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(ii)

the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest and other amounts on the Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;

to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(v)

whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of the holders of the Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.11. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the holders of the Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency.

Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Notes as the Noteholders for such Class of Notes.

ARTICLE III

Covenants

SECTION 3.01. Payment to Noteholders. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of, interest, if any, on and any unpaid Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover (but only to the extent provided in Sections 2.07(d) and 8.02(c)) with respect to each Class of Notes in accordance with the terms of such Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause to be distributed to the holders of the each Class of Notes in each group of Notes that portion of the amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts related to such group of Notes on a Distribution Date, to which the holders of each Class of Notes are entitled to receive pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any holder of the Notes of interest (including any Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover) and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such holder of the Notes for all purposes of this Indenture. The Notes will be non-recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Indenture Trust Estate as provided in this Indenture and the Issuer shall not be otherwise liable on the Notes.

SECTION 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders in respect of the Notes.

SECTION 3.03. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 8.02(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts distributed from the applicable sub-account of the Collection Account or any other Trust Account pursuant to Section 8.02(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so distributed from the applicable sub-account of the Collection Account for payments of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial "Paying Agent" hereunder and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

On or before the Business Day next preceding each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall distribute or cause to be distributed to the Indenture Trustee (or any other Paying Agent) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under each Class of the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i)

hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to each Class of the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii)

give the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to any Class of Notes;

(iii)

at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv)

immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of each applicable Class of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(v)

comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Class of the Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the holder of such Notes thereof shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to the holders of the Notes whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such holder of the Notes).

SECTION 3.04. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Indenture Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.05. Protection of Indenture Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i)

(ii)

perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(iii)

(iv)

preserve and defend title to the Indenture Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee, and the holders of the Notes, the Swap Counterparty and the Securities Insurer in such Indenture Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 3.06. Opinions as to Indenture Trust Estate. (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

(b)

On or before April 30 in each calendar year, beginning in 2004, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest.

SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Master Servicing of Financed Student Loans. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Indenture Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

(b)

The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty in an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Master Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c)

The Issuer will enforce all of its rights under this Indenture and the Basic Documents and will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, (with respect to the Group I Notes only) the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes, and (with respect to the Group II Notes only) the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then by the Group II Controlling Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group II Notes).

(d)

If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default or an Administrator Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Group I Controlling Noteholders (with respect to Master Servicer Defaults only), the Securities Insurer, the Group II Controlling Noteholders (with respect to the Master Servicer Defaults only), the Swap Counterparty and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default. If a Master Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or an Administrator Default shall arise from the failure of the Administrator to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Administration Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Financed Student Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to enforce its rights under the Basic Documents in respect of such failure.

(e)

As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of a partial or complete termination to the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer's rights and powers with respect to either or both of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, or to the Administrator of the Administrator's rights and powers, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only and provided that a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing), a successor master servicer (the "Successor Master Servicer"), or, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing), a successor administrator (the "Successor Administrator"), and such Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, ceases to act as Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Master Servicer or the Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty, and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new master servicer or a new administrator enters into an agreement with the Issuer as provided below; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require or permit the Indenture Trustee to act as Master Servicer, or otherwise master service Financed Student Loans, in violation of the Higher Education Act. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new master servicer or a new administrator as a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (so long as no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). Any Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established institution (A) that satisfies any requirements of the Higher Education Act applicable to servicers and (B) whose regular business includes the servicing or administration of student loans and (ii) enter into a master servicing agreement or an administration agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the predecessor Master Servicer or the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Administration Agreement applicable to the Administrator and, in any case, approved by the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new master servicer or administrator, as the case may be, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, in each case, so long as no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Securities Insurer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the Indenture Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment. In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing or administration of the Financed Student Loans (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed as provided herein to the Master Servicer's duties with respect to Financed Student Loans or the Administrator's duties with respect to the Issuer and the Financed Student Loans, as the case may be, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, and the servicing or administration of the Financed Student Loans. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Master Servicer or as Administrator, as the case may be, any one of its affiliates or agents, provided that such appointment shall not affect or alter in any way the liability of the Indenture Trustee as a successor for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Administrator in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f)

Upon any partial or complete termination of the Master Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any termination of the Administrator's rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the Securities Insurer. As soon as a Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Administrator is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Master Servicer or such Successor Administrator.

(g)

Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, (with respect to amendments affecting the Group I Notes) the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes, and (with respect to amendments affecting the Group II Notes) the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Payment Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then by the Group II Controlling Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group II Notes), amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral or the Basic Documents, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, or waive timely performance or observance by the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Eligible Lender Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments with respect to Group I or Group II Student Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the holders of Group I or Group II Notes, (ii) amend the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the related Class or Classes of Notes, which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding holders of all Classes of Notes affected by such amendment (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Trust Agreement, such rights of consent granted to the holders of the Notes contained in clauses (i) and (ii) of this proviso shall not be exercisable by the Group I Controlling Parties on behalf of all of the Group I Noteholders or by the Securities Insurer on behalf of all of the Group II Noteholders (unless a Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Group II Controlling Noteholders), (iii) amend any rights of the Securities Insurer, without the consent of the Securities Insurer, or (iv) amend any rights of the Swap Counterparty, without the consent of the Swap Counterparty. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or such holders of the Notes, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or the Swap Counterparty to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or the Swap Counterparty may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

(h)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Servicer is being replaced by a Successor Master Servicer with respect to only one group of Financed Student Loans, pursuant to Section 8.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to recognize KBUSA as Master Servicer, and KBUSA shall be permitted continue in its role of Master Servicer, with respect to the other group of Student Loans and the foregoing provisions shall only apply to the Successor Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer of one group of Student Loans.

SECTION 3.08. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding or any amounts are owing to the Securities Insurer or the Swap Counterparty, the Issuer shall not:

(i)

except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or any other Basic Document, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Indenture Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Securities Insurer so long as no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)

claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest (including any Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover) payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former holder of the Notes by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Indenture Trust Estate; or

(iii)

(A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Indenture Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor, and other than as expressly permitted by the Basic Documents) or (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax or other lien) security interest in the Indenture Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year 2002), an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer stating that:

(i)

(ii)

SECTION 3.10. Issuer May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

(iii)

the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction;

(iv)

(ii)

If at least two bids are received, with respect to a Single Pool Sale, the Indenture Trustee will solicit and resolicit bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains for all related Financed Student Loans or until the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids; and, with respect to a Two Pool Sale, if at least two bids are received for either pool of Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee will solicit and resolicit bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains with respect to each such pool of Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, or until the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids.

The proceeds of any such sale with respect to the Group I or Group II Student Loans will be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.04(b)(X)or (Y) hereof, as applicable. If a sale of either the Group I or Group II Student Loans is not consummated in accordance with the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, (or shall, at the written direction of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, as applicable), solicit bids to purchase the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as the case may be, on future Distribution Dates upon terms similar to those described above. In addition, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Eligible Lender Trustee and each Rating Agency shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that any such sale of the Financed Student Loans would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(v)

In the event of any auction of Group I or Group II Student Loans, neither KeyCorp nor any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, KBUSA, the Depositor and the Put Option Provider) may offer bids to purchase any such Financed Student Loans.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from (x) two or more groups of either the Group I or Group II Noteholders, as the case may be, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, or (y) two groups from both the Group I and Group II Noteholders, each representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, any holder of the any Class of Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such holder of any such Class of Notes.

SECTION 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer (in the case of the Group II Notes only) or any holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or to such holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer (in the case of the Group II Notes only) or to the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or any holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or to the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or by the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.11. Control by Noteholders. With respect to the Group I Notes, the Group I Controlling Parties, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group I Notes, and (y) with respect to the Group II Notes, the Securities Insurer (unless a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then by the holders of Group II Notes, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Group II Notes) (or, in each case, if only one Class is affected thereby, a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Class) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(iii)

if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Indenture Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by holders of less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Group I Notes or the Securities Insurer (or, if a Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the holders of less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Group II Notes), to sell or liquidate the Indenture Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, as provided in Section 5.02, (x) with respect to the Group I Notes, the Group I Controlling Parties, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group I Notes, and (y) with respect to the Group II Notes, the Securities Insurer (unless a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then by the holders of Group II Notes, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Group II Notes), may waive any past Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment when due of principal of or interest (including, subject to the limitations of Sections 2.07(c) and 8.02(c), any related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover) on any of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Securities Insurer, if applicable, the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, by such Group I or Group II Noteholder's acceptance of any Group I or Group II Note, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or group of holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, or (c) any suit instituted by any holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest (including any unpaid related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover)) on any Group I or Group II Note, as applicable, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Group I or Group II Note, as the case may be, and in this Indenture (or, in the case of any redemption, on or after the related Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a) Promptly following a request from the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, and with the consent of the Securities Insurer (so long as a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing) and in each case subject to the rights of the Securities Insurer hereunder and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee or Securities Insurer, as applicable, may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by KBUSA, the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty, the Administrator and the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement (and with respect to the Administrator only, the Administration Agreement, with respect to the Swap Counterparty only, each of the Interest Rate Swaps, and with respect to the Cap Provider only, each of the Cap Agreements and with respect to KBUSA only, under the KBUSA Student Loan Transfer Agreement) in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement (and the Administration Agreement, the Interest Rate Swaps, the KBUSA Student Loan Transfer Agreement or the Cap Agreements, as applicable) to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Group I Notes or the Securities Insurer with respect to the Group II Notes (provided no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty, the Administrator or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty, the Administrator or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (and the Administration Agreement, the Interest Rate Swaps, the KBUSA Student Loan Transfer Agreement or the Cap Agreements, as applicable).

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

SECTION 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

(g)

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur 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 to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not reasonably assured to it.

Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

SECTION 6.03. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

SECTION 6.04. Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall immediately notify the Securities Insurer of the Default and shall mail to each holder of the Notes, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest (including any related Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover) on any Group I or Group II Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable.

SECTION 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each holder of the Notes (and to each Person who was a holder of the Notes at any time during the applicable calendar year) such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns. Within 60 days after each December 31 beginning with the December 31 following the date of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each holder of the Notes a brief report as of such December 31 that complies with TIA § 313(a) if required by said section. The Indenture Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b). A copy of each such report required pursuant to TIA §§ 313(a) or (b) shall, at the time of such transmission to holders of the Notes, be filed by the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and with each securities exchange, if any, upon which the Notes are listed, provided that the Issuer has previously notified the Indenture Trustee of such listing.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer, pursuant to Section 3 of the Administration Agreement, shall cause the Administrator to pay to the Indenture Trustee reasonable compensation for its services in accordance with a separate agreement between the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee and shall cause the Administrator to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it as provided in such separate agreement. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Administrator to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Issuer shall cause the Administrator to defend the claim and the Administrator shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee after it has assumed such defense; provided, however, that, in the event that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator in conducting the defense of such claim, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to separate counsel the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty. The Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), or the holders of Notes of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i)

the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii)

an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee;

(iii)

a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Securities Insurer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the holders of the Notes. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee upon payment of all monies due and owing to the retiring Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Securities Insurer or the holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any holder of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies, the Swap Counterparty and the Securities Insurer prior written notice of any such transaction.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Indenture Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, such title to the Indenture Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to holders of the Notes of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

(b)

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)

all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Indenture Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(ii)

no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii)

the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d)

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall have a long term debt rating of Baa3 or better by Xxxxx'x. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

ARTICLE VIII-A

The Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy

SECTION 8A.1. Claims Under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. (a) With respect to the Group II Notes only, in the event that the Insured Payments for the related Distribution Date are greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Securities Insurer (with a copy to the Master Servicer) a completed Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy Notice, specifying, among other things, the form provided and in accordance with the terms of the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy, in the amount of the related Insured Payments. Amounts paid by the Securities Insurer under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the Group II Collection Account Sub-Account for payment to related Group II Noteholders on the related Distribution Date (or promptly following payment on a later date as set forth in the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy).

(b)

Any notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Securities Insurer pursuant to subsection 8A.1(a) shall specify the Deficiency Amount, if applicable, the Distribution Date or Final Maturity Date for the Specified Deficiency Amount, the Preference Amount, if applicable, and the Insured Payment claimed under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. Any payment made by the Securities Insurer under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be applied solely to the payment of the Group II Noteholders' Interest Distribution Amount with respect to the Group II Notes to the extent of any Deficiency Amount, or on the Final Maturity Date with respect to each Class of Group II Notes, the Group II Noteholders' Principal Distribution Amount with respect to such Class of Group II Notes to the extent of any Deficiency Amount, or in repayment of a required to be returned Preference Amount, and for no other purpose. The Indenture Trustee shall return to the Securities Insurer any portion of proceeds received under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy not applied as an Insured Payment.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee shall (i) receive, as attorney-in-fact of each Noteholder, any Insured Payment from the Securities Insurer and (ii) deposit the same in the Group II Collection Account Sub-Account for disbursement to the Group II Noteholders as set forth in Section 5.05(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and Section 8.02(d) of this Indenture. Any Insured Payment disbursed by the Indenture Trustee from claims made under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by the Issuer with respect to such Group II Notes, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Securities Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Group II Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Group II Notes by or on behalf of the Securities Insurer under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Securities Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Group II Notes which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Securities Insurer and the Securities Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to the Group II Notes, to the extent that it has made a payment of principal with respect thereto pursuant to the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. To evidence such subrogation, the Note Registrar shall note the Securities Insurer's rights as subrogee upon the register of Group II Noteholders upon receipt from the Securities Insurer of proof of payment by the Securities Insurer of any Deficiency Amount.

(d)

The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the Group II Noteholders the obligations of the Securities Insurer under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Group II Noteholders are not entitled to make a claim directly under either of the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy or institute proceedings directly against the Securities Insurer.

(e)

The Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy is issued for the benefit of the holders of the Group II Notes only, and no amounts due and owed to the holders of the Group I Notes shall be payable by the Securities Insurer from the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy or otherwise.

SECTION 8A.2. [Reserved].

SECTION 8A.3. Surrender of the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall surrender the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy to the Securities Insurer for cancellation upon the expiration of such Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms thereof or in the event such policy is replaced pursuant to Section 8A.5.

SECTION 8A.4. Rights of the Securities Insurer. Each Group II Noteholder by purchase of its Class of Group II Notes held by it acknowledges that the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, as partial consideration of the issuance of the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy, has agreed that the Securities Insurer shall have certain rights hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Basic Documents, so long as a Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, any provision giving the Securities Insurer the right to direct, appoint or consent to, approve of, or take any action under this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents (except for the Insurance Agreement), shall be inoperative during the period of such Securities Insurer Default and such right shall instead vest in the Indenture Trustee acting at the written direction of Group II Controlling Noteholders. The Securities Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and powers under this Indenture (but not its duties and obligations under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy or the Insurance Agreement) upon delivery of a written notice to the Indenture Trustee. The Securities Insurer may give or withhold any consent hereunder in its reasonable discretion. In the event that the Administrator substitutes one or more new guaranty insurance policies for the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 8A.5, the new securities insurer shall have all of the rights to direct, appoint or consent to, approve of, or take any action under this Indenture vested in the Securities Insurer immediately prior to the occurrence of a Rating Agency Downgrade as set forth in Section 8A.5.

SECTION 8A.5. Replacement Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy. In the event of a Rating Agency Downgrade, the Administrator shall be permitted, but shall not be obligated, to substitute one or more new guaranty insurance policies for the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy or may arrange for any other form of credit enhancement in substitution for the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy; provided, however, that, in each case, such new securities insurer shall have the highest rating available from each Rating Agency and provided further that the Securities Insurer is reimbursed for all amounts due under this Indenture and the Insurance Agreement. It shall be a condition to substitution of any such new guaranty insurance policy or other form of credit enhancement that there be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate by the Administrator stating that the conditions to such substitution set forth in this Section 8A.5 (other than in clause (ii)) have been satisfied and (ii) a legal opinion, acceptable in form to the Indenture Trustee, from counsel to the provider of such guaranty insurance policy or other form of credit enhancement with respect to the enforceability thereof and such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may require. Upon receipt of written notice of any such substitution from the Administrator and the taking of physical possession of the replacement guaranty insurance policy or other form of credit enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice and such taking of physical possession, deliver the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy marked "Cancelled" to the Securities Insurer, and the Securities Insurer will have no further liability under the Group II Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy.

Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any holder of any Group I or Group II Note, as the case may be, shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Group I or Group II Note, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, or portions thereof to be redeemed shall on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

SECTION 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b)

The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c)

The ownership of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be proved by the Note Register.

(d)

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the holder of any Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall bind the holder of every Group I or Group II Note, respectively, issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Group I or Group II Note, as applicable.

SECTION 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Securities Insurer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of holders of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of holders of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a)

the Indenture Trustee by any holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(b)

the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to: KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2002-A, in care of Bank One, National Association, 0 Xxxx Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx XX0-0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; with a copy to the Administrator, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, Attention: KeyCorp Education Resources, KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2002-A, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the holders of the Notes to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty or the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at the following address: Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000; (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's, at the following address: Standard & Poor's Rating Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; (iii) Fitch Ratings, Inc., Municipal Structured Finance Group, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000; (iv) in the case of the Securities Insurer, at the following address: Ambac Assurance Corporation, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, X.X. 00000, Attention: Consumer Asset Backed Securities Department--Student Loans; and (v) in the case of the Swap Counterparty, at the address of the Administrator given above; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

SECTION 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to holders of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to holders of the Notes is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default.

SECTION 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind the successors, co-trustees and agents (excluding any legal representatives or accountants) of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 11.10. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the holders of the Notes, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Indenture Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE 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 SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligations. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity or (ii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

This is one of the Notes designated above and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, not in its individual

capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee,

By:

Authorized Signatory

Date: September 24, 2002

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Floating Rate Class I-A-1 Asset Backed Notes (herein also called the "Class I-A-1 Notes"), all issued under 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 Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes. The Class I-A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. To the extent that any provisions of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent provision herein. Capitalized but undefined terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture dated as of September 1, 2002 between KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2002-A and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee including Appendix A to the Indenture.

The Class I-A-1 Notes and the Issuer's Floating Rate Class I-A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the "Class I-A-2 Notes" and together with the Class I-A-1 Notes, the "Group I Class A Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The rights of the Issuer's Floating Rate Class I-B Asset Backed Notes (the "Class I-B Notes" and together with the Group I Class A Notes, the "Group I Notes") are and will be subordinated to the rights of the Group I Class A Notes as provided in the Indenture. At the same time, the Issuer will also issue its Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes (the "Group II Notes" and together with the Group I Notes, the "Notes") that will also be secured by other items of collateral constituting the Trust Estate.

Principal of the Group I Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date to the extent funds are available therefor set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. "Distribution Date" means the twenty-seventh day of each February, May, August and November, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing February 27, 2003.

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on its Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Group I Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (i) an Event of Default with respect to the Group I Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes shall have declared the Group I Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Group I Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Group I Notes entitled thereto.

Interest on the Group I Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date on the principal amount outstanding of each Class of Group I Notes until the principal amount thereof is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate for such Class of Group I Notes.

The "Note Interest Rate" means, with respect to any Interest Period and the Class I-A-1 Notes, the interest rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period divided by 360) equal to the lesser of (i) Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.06% and (ii) the Student Loan Rate for such Interest Period.

The "Student Loan Rate" means for any Class of Notes for any Interest Period will equal the product of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 365 (or 366 in a leap year) by (ii) the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Period and (b) the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to Expected Interest Collections for the Group I Student Loans for the Collection Period relating to such Interest Period, plus any Net Trust Swap Receipt (with respect to the Group I Interest Rate Swap) actually received by the Trust with respect to the related Collection Period, less the sum of the related Master Servicing Fees, the Administration Fee allocated to the Group I Notes payable on the related Distribution Date and any related Master Servicing Fees paid on the two preceding Monthly Servicing Payment Dates during the related Collection Period, minus any Net Trust Swap Payment (with respect to the Group I Interest Rate Swap) due to the Swap Counterparty for the related Collection Period, and (ii) the denominator of which is the outstanding principal balance of the Group I Notes as of the first day of such Interest Period.

Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Administrator shall determine the Three-Month LIBOR for purposes of calculating the Note Interest Rates for each given Interest Period. "Three-Month LIBOR" means the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related LIBOR Determination Date (the "Index Maturity") which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (or such comparable page on another comparable service), as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 (or such comparable page on another comparable service), the rate for that day will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars, having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000, are offered at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market by the Reference Banks. The Administrator will request the principal London office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Administrator, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Determination Date for loans in the U.S. dollars to leading European banks having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000; provided that if the banks selected as aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest Period will be Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the previous Interest Period. For purposes of calculating Three-Month LIBOR, a Business Day is any day on which banks in London and New York City are open for the transaction of business. Interest due for any Interest Period will be determined based on the actual number of days in such Interest Period over a 360 day year.

"Reference Bank" means a leading bank (i) engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, (ii) not controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Administrator and (iii) having an established place of business in London.

"LIBOR" Determination Date" means (x) with respect to each Interest Period other than the initial Interest Period, the second Business Day prior to the commencement of such Interest Period and (y) with respect to the initial Interest Period, as determined pursuant to clause (x) for the period from the Closing Date to but excluding November 27, 2002 and as determined on the second Business Day prior to November 27, 2002 for the period from November 27, 2002 to but excluding February 27, 2003. For purposes of this definition, a "Business Day" is any day on which banks in London and New York City are open for the transaction of business.

Any Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover with respect to the Group I Class A Notes that may exist on any Distribution Date attributable shall be payable to the holders of the Group I Class A Notes, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Noteholders' Interest Index Carryover then owing on the Group I Class A Notes on that Distribution Date and any succeeding Distribution Dates solely out of the funds available and required to be applied thereto pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register on the Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, unless Definitive Notes have been issued (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment, and the mailing of such check shall constitute payment of the amount thereof regardless of whether such check is returned undelivered. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. 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 Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Noteholder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed no later than five days prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Note Interest Rate for this Note to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP (all in accordance with the Exchange Act), and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each holder of the Notes or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Depositor, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

It is the intent of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, KBUSA, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, this Note will qualify as indebtedness of the Certificateholder. The Noteholders and the Note Owners, by acceptance of this Note, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Note for such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Certificateholder.

Each holder of the Notes or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such holder of the Notes or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, may treat the Person in whose name this Group I Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this Group I Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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 Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes 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.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its individual capacity, Bank One, National Association, in its individual capacity, the Depositor, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Depositor, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture; it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Eligible Lender Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Eligible Lender Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The holder of the Notes by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the holder of any Class of the Notes shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the Indenture Trust Estate for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Floating Rate Class I-B Asset Backed Notes (herein also called the "Class I-B Notes"), all issued under 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 Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes. The Class I-B Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. To the extent that any provisions of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent provision herein. Capitalized but undefined terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture dated as of September 1, 2002 between KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2002-A and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee including Appendix A to the Indenture.

The Class I-A-1 Notes (the "Class I-A-1 Notes") and the Issuer's Floating Rate Class I-A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the "Class I-A-2 Notes" and together with the Class I-A-1 Notes, the "Group I Class A Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The rights of the Issuer's Floating Rate Class I-B Asset Backed Notes (the "Class I-B Notes" and together with the Group I Class A Notes, the "Group I Notes") are and will be subordinated to the rights of the Group I Class A Notes as provided in the Indenture. At the same time, the Issuer will also issue its Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes (the "Group II Notes" and together with the Group I Notes, the "Notes") that will also be secured by other items of collateral constituting the Trust Estate.

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on its Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Group I Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (i) an Event of Default with respect to the Group I Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes (which, until all of the Group I Class A Notes have been paid in full, shall exclude the Class I-B Notes) shall have declared the Group I Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Group I Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Group I Notes entitled thereto.

The "Note Interest Rate" means, with respect to any Interest Period and the Class I-B Notes, the interest rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period divided by 360) equal to the lesser of (i) Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.70% and (ii) the Student Loan Rate for such Interest Period.

The "Student Loan Rate" means for any Class of Group I Notes for any Interest Period will equal the product of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 365 (or 366 in a leap year) by (ii) the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Period and (b) the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to Expected Interest Collections for the Group I Student Loans for the Collection Period relating to such Interest Period, plus any Net Trust Swap Receipt (with respect to the Group I Interest Rate Swap) actually received by the Trust with respect to the related Collection Period, less the sum of the related Master Servicing Fees, the Administration Fee allocated to the Group I Notes payable on the related Distribution Date and any related Master Servicing Fees paid on the two preceding Monthly Servicing Payment Dates during the related Collection Period, minus any Net Trust Swap Payment (with respect to the Group I Interest Rate Swap) due to the Swap Counterparty for the related Collection Period, and (ii) the denominator of which is the outstanding principal balance of the Group I Notes as of the first day of such Interest Period.

Any Noteholders’ Interest Index Carryover that may exist on any Distribution Date attributable to the Class I-B Notes shall be payable to the holders of the Class I-B Notes on that Distribution Date and any succeeding Distribution Date solely out of the funds available and required to be applied thereto pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

Default in the payment of interest on a Class I-B Note is not an Event of Default under the Indenture so long as any Group I Class A Notes are outstanding. By acceptance of this Class I-B Note or any beneficial interest herein, you are deemed to have consented to the delay in payment of interest on such Class I-B Note and waived your rights to institute suit for enforcement of any such payment to the extent described in the Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Floating Rate Class II-A-1 Asset Backed Notes (herein also called the "Class II-A-2 Notes"), all issued under 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 Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes. The Class II-A-2 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. To the extent that any provisions of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent provision herein. Capitalized but undefined terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture dated as of September 1, 2002 between KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2002-A and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee including Appendix A to the Indenture.

The Class II-A-2 Notes and the Issuer's Floating Rate Class II-A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the "Class II-A-1 Notes" and together with the Class II-A-2 Notes, the "Group II Class A Notes" or the "Group II Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. At the same time, the Issuer will also issue its Class I-A-1 Notes, Class I-A-2 Notes, and Class I-B Notes (collectively, the "Group I Notes" and together with the Group II Notes, the "Notes") that will also be secured by other items of collateral constituting the Trust Estate.

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on its Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Group II Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (i) an Event of Default with respect to the Group II Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Securities Insurer (unless a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then the holders of Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Group II Notes) shall have declared the Group II Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Group II Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto.

The "Note Interest Rate" means, with respect to any Interest Period and the Class II-A-2 Notes, the interest rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period divided by 360) equal to the lesser of (i) Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.40% and (ii) the Student Loan Rate for such Interest Period.

The "Student Loan Rate" means for any Class of Notes for any Interest Period will equal the product of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 365 (or 366 in a leap year) by (ii) the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Period and (b) the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to Expected Interest Collections for the Group II Student Loans for the Collection Period relating to such Interest Period, plus any Net Trust Swap Receipt (with respect to the Group II Interest Rate Swap) actually received by the Trust with respect to the related Collection Period, less the sum of the related Master Servicing Fees, the premiums due to the Securities Insurer and the Administration Fee allocated to the Group II Notes payable on the related Distribution Date and any related Master Servicing Fees paid on the two preceding Monthly Servicing Payment Dates during the related Collection Period, minus any Net Trust Swap Payment (with respect to the Group II Interest Rate Swap) due to the Swap Counterparty for the related Collection Period, and (ii) the denominator of which is the outstanding principal balance of the Group II Notes as of the first day of such Interest Period.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Note Interest Rate for this Note to the extent lawful.

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 Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes 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.

By acceptance of this Class II-A-2 Note you are hereby deemed to have agreed, that for long as no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of the Class II-A-2 Noteholders under any of the Basic Documents, will be exercisable by the Securities Insurer on behalf of the Class II-A-2 Noteholders, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
