A. OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL TRUST STUDENT LOANS. The Administrator
shall notify the Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee in writing,
within 15 days after the last day of any Collection Period as of which the then
outstanding Pool Balance is 12% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, of the
percentage that the then outstanding Pool Balance bears to the Initial Pool
Balance. As of the last day of any Collection Period immediately preceding a
Distribution Date as of which the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less
of the Initial Pool Balance, the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf and at the
direction of the Servicer, or any other "eligible lender" (within the meaning of
the Higher Education Act) designated by the Servicer in writing to the Eligible
Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall have the option to purchase the
Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts. To exercise such option, the
Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 2.6 in the Collection Account an
amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Trust Student Loans and
the related rights with respect thereto, plus the appraised value of any such
other property held by the Trust other than the Trust Accounts, such value to be
determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Eligible
Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in
and to the Trust; provided, however, that the Servicer may not effect such
purchase if such aggregate Purchase Amounts do not equal or exceed the Minimum
Purchase Amount plus any amounts owed to any Swap Counterparty for Swap Payments
and Swap Termination Payments, amounts to any Remarketing Agent for any unpaid
remarketing fees, and any Carryover Servicing Fees. In the event the Servicer
fails to notify the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in writing
prior to the acceptance by the Indenture Trustee of a bid to purchase the Trust
Estate pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Indenture that the Servicer intends to
exercise its option to purchase the Trust Estate, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have waived its option to purchase the Trust Estate as long as the
14
Servicer has received 5 business days' notice from the Indenture Trustee as
provided in Section 4.4 of the Indenture.
(v) Section 8.5 is amended by inserting at the end of the first
paragraph the following:
and that such action will not materially adversely affect (i) the
Trust's ability to enforce or protect its rights or remedies under any
Swap Agreement, (ii) the ability of the Trust to timely and fully
perform its obligations under any Swap Agreement or (iii) any of the
Trust's obligations under any Swap Agreement or any swap transaction
under such agreement. Any such amendment, modification or supplement
without the consent of the Eligible Swap Counterparty shall not be
binding on the Eligible Swap Counterparty.
6. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrator is
authorized, from time to time, either enter into or to instruct the Eligible
Lender Trustee to enter into (in either case, not in their respective individual
capacities but solely on behalf of the Trust) (i) Remarketing Agency Agreements
and (ii) Swap Agreements, in addition to the Initial Swap Agreements, with one
or more Eligible Swap Counterparties on any Reset Date, when either (1) a class
of Reset Rate Notes is to bear interest at a fixed rate during the upcoming
Reset Period, or (2) a class of Reset Rate Notes is to bear interest at a
floating rate (other than one based on LIBOR or a Commercial Paper Rate) during
the upcoming Reset Period and the Remarketing Agents (in consultation with the
Administrator) determine it is in the best interest of the Trust to enter into
one or more Swap Agreements to hedge against basis risk; provided, however, that
all such Swap Agreements are entered into using the procedures set forth in the
Reset Rate Note Procedures and the Rating Agency Condition is met.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Reset Rate Note
Procedures, the Eligible Lender Trustee hereby agrees (not in its individual
capacity but solely as Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust) to enter
into such Swap Agreements and Remarketing Agency Agreements on behalf of the
Trust as the Administrator shall direct in writing from time to time.
7. Each of the parties named on the signature pages to this Supplement by
execution of this Supplement agrees, for the benefit of the Administrator and

connection with the Trust, this Supplement and the other Basic Documents to the

obligations of such parties under the Agreement resulting from the execution of
this Supplement (other than the Depositor) shall be applicable only with respect
to the Trust, this Supplement and the other Basic Documents.
This Supplement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without reference to the conflict of law provisions thereof,
and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

executed shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
