Concerning the Eligible Lender Trustee

SECTION 5.1. Acceptance of Trust and Duties. The Eligible Lender Trustee accepts the trust hereby created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trust but only upon the terms of this Agreement. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable hereunder or under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party under any circumstances, except (i) for its own willful misconduct or negligence or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.2 below expressly made by the Eligible Lender Trustee. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence):

The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by a responsible officer of the Eligible Lender Trustee.

No provision of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party shall require the Eligible Lender Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, if the Eligible Lender Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it.

The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by the Trust or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Trust Loans or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the other Basic Documents to which it is a party.

In no event shall the Eligible Lender Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever irrespective of whether the Eligible Lender Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 5.2. Representations and Warranties. The Eligible Lender Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that:

It is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of its governing jurisdiction and has an office located within the State of Minnesota, at which it will act as trustee for the Trust. It has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party.

It has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party have been executed and delivered by two of its officers who are duly authorized to execute and deliver the same on its behalf.

Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions thereof or hereof will contravene any Federal, Delaware, New York or other applicable state law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Eligible Lender Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws.

It is and will maintain its status as an “eligible lender” (as such term is defined in Section 435(d) of the Higher Education Act) for purposes of holding legal title to the Trust Loans as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and it is and will at all times remain the owner of the Related LID and has and will have in effect a Guarantee Agreement with each of the Guarantors with respect to the Trust Loans.

SECTION 5.3. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article V, in accepting the trust hereby created, [________] acts solely as Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity.

SECTION 5.4. Eligible Lender Trustee Not Liable for the Trust Loans. The Eligible Lender Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Basic Document to which it is a party or of any Trust Loan or related documents. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability (except for willfully or negligently terminating or allowing to be terminated any of the Guarantee Agreements, in a case where the Eligible Lender Trustee knows of any facts or circumstances which will or could reasonably be expected to result in any such termination) for or with respect to the legality, validity, enforceability and eligibility for Guarantee Payments, federal reinsurance, Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments, as applicable, in respect of any Trust Loan, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder or the Noteholders including the existence and contents of any computer or other record of any Trust Loan; the validity of the assignment of any Trust Loan to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust; the completeness of any Trust Loan; the performance or enforcement (except as expressly set forth in any Basic Document) of any Trust Loan; the compliance by the Servicer

with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action or inaction of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Trust.

SECTION 5.5. Obligations to the Secretary and Guarantors. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Basic Documents to which the Eligible Lender Trustee is a party, nothing in such Basic Documents will be construed to limit the legal responsibility of the Eligible Lender Trustee to the United States Secretary of Education (the “Secretary”) or a Guarantor for any violations of statutory or regulatory requirements that may occur under the Higher Education Act or implementing regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall in no event be liable or legally responsible hereunder to the other parties hereto or to any party to any Basic Document to which it is a party for any violations of statutory or regulatory requirements under the Higher Education Act or implementing regulations that occurred prior to the date hereof.

Successor Eligible Lender Trustees

SECTION 8.1. Eligibility Requirements for Eligible Lender Trustee. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or banking association (i) qualifying as an “eligible lender” as such term is defined in Section 435(d) of the Higher Education Act for purposes of holding legal title to the Trust Loans on behalf and for the benefit of the Trust, with a

valid lender identification number with respect to the Trust Loans from the Department; (ii) being authorized to exercise corporate trust powers and hold legal title to the Trust Loans; (iii) having in effect Guarantee Agreements with each of the Guarantors as may be directed, in writing, by the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable; (iv) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and (v) having (or having a parent which has) a rating in respect of its long-term senior unsecured debt of at least "BBB-" (or the equivalent) by each of the Rating Agencies (or which, if the long-term senior unsecured debt of such corporation or association is not rated by any Rating Agency, shall have provided to the Administrator (A) written confirmation from such Rating Agency that the appointment of such corporation or association to serve as Eligible Lender Trustee will not result in and of itself in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of any of the outstanding Notes or (B) evidence of at least 10 days prior written notice to such Rating Agency (or such shorter period as is acceptable to each such Rating Agency) during which time no Rating Agency shall have notified the Eligible Lender Trustee in writing that such action might or will result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating of any of the outstanding Notes. If the Eligible Lender Trustee shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.2.

SECTION 8.2. Resignation or Removal of Eligible Lender Trustee. The Eligible Lender Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Trust. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trust shall promptly appoint a successor Eligible Lender Trustee meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 8.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee and one copy to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee. If no successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Eligible Lender Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

If at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee shall cease to be or shall be likely to cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Trust, then the Trust may remove the Eligible Lender Trustee. If the Trust shall remove the Eligible Lender Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trust shall promptly appoint a successor Eligible Lender Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee together with payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Eligible Lender Trustee and appointment of a successor Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not

become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee.

SECTION 8.3. Successor Eligible Lender Trustee. Any successor Eligible Lender Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trust and to its predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee shall become effective and such successor Eligible Lender Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Eligible Lender Trustee. The predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee all documents, statements, moneys and properties held by it under this Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee any lender identification number obtained from the Department with respect to the Trust Loans; and the Trust and the predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee, at the sole cost and expense of the Depositor, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Eligible Lender Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall accept such appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 8.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Eligible Lender Trustee to the Trust, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Eligible Lender Trustee, the successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

SECTION 8.4. Merger or Consolidation of Eligible Lender Trustee. Any corporation or banking association into which the Eligible Lender Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Eligible Lender Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of the Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation or banking association shall be eligible pursuant to Section 8.1; and provided further that the Eligible Lender Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes not less than 15 days prior to the effective date thereof.

ARTICLE IX

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

SECTION 9.4. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 9.5. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and to the benefit of, the Trust and its successors and the Eligible Lender Trustee and its successors, all as herein provided.
