Each such Auction Period (a) with respect to the Series 2004-A1 and A2 Notes,
shall commence on and include the Tuesday (or, if such Tuesday is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) following the expiration of the
immediately preceding Auction Period and terminate on and include the last day
immediately preceding the Tuesday (or, if such Tuesday is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day) of the fourth following week, (b) with respect
to the Series 2004-A3, A4 and A5 Notes,

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

shall commence on and include the Wednesday (or, if such Wednesday is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) following the expiration of the
immediately preceding Auction Period and terminate on and include the last day
immediately preceding the Wednesday (or, if such Wednesday is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of the fourth following week, and (c)
with respect to the Series 2004-B1 Notes, shall commence on and include the
Friday (or, if such Friday is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day) following the expiration of the immediately preceding Auction Period and
terminate on and include the last day immediately preceding the Friday (or, if

fourth following week; provided, however, that in the case of the Auction Period
that immediately follows the Initial Interest Period for a series of Series
2004-1 Notes, such Auction Period shall commence on the Initial Interest Rate
Adjustment Date for such series. The Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on each
series of Series 2004-1 Notes for each Auction Period shall be the lesser of (i)
the Net Loan Rate in effect for such Auction Period, and (ii) the Auction Rate
in effect for such Auction Period as determined in accordance with Section 4
hereof; provided that if, on any Interest Rate Determination Date, an Auction is
not held for any reason, then the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on such series
for the next succeeding Auction Period shall equal the lesser of (a) the Maximum
Auction Rate and (b) the Net Loan Rate.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing:

          (a)  if the ownership of a series of Series 2004-1 Notes is no longer
     maintained in Book-Entry Form, the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on such
     series for any Interest Period commencing after the delivery of definitive
     notes representing such series pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall equal
     the lesser of (i) the Maximum Auction Rate and (ii) the Net Loan Rate on
     the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such subsequent
     Interest Period; or

          (b)  if a Payment Default shall have occurred with respect to a series
     of Series 2004-1 Notes, the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on such series
     for the Interest Period commencing on or immediately after such Payment
     Default, and for each Interest Period thereafter, to and including the
     Interest Period, if any, during which, or commencing less than two (2)
     Business Days after, such Payment Default is cured, shall equal the
     Non-Payment Rate on the first day of each such Interest Period.

     In accordance with Section 4(c)(iii) hereof, the Auction Agent shall
promptly give written notice to the Trustee and the Corporation of each Series
2004-1 Note Auction Rate (unless the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate is the
Non-Payment Rate or the ownership of such series is no longer maintained in
Book-Entry Form) and either the Auction Rate or the Net Loan Rate, as the case
may be, when such rate is not the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, applicable to
each series of Series 2004-1 Notes. The Trustee shall notify the Holders of
Series 2004-1 Notes of the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to each
such series for each Auction Period on the second Business Day of such Auction
Period.

     In the event that the last Business Day immediately preceding what would
otherwise be the commencement date of an Auction Period for a series of Series
2004-1 Notes is more than five days prior to such date, the Interest Rate
Determination Date and commencement date for

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

such Auction Period, as well as the expiration date for the preceding Auction
Period, may be adjusted to fall on such dates as the Market Agent, with the
consent of the Corporation, may determine to be appropriate under such
circumstances. The Market Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee and the
Auction Agent in writing of any such determination. The Trustee, upon receipt of
such notice, shall immediately give written notification of such determination
to the Holders of such series of Series 2004-1 Notes.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Series 2004-1 Notes or this
First Supplemental Indenture, and except for the occurrence of a Payment
Default, interest payable on each series of the Series 2004-1 Notes for an
Auction Period shall never exceed for such Auction Period the amount of interest
payable at the Net Loan Rate (subject to the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate
Limitation) in effect for such Auction Period.

     If the Auction Rate for a series of Series 2004-1 Notes is greater than the
Net Loan Rate, then the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to such
series for that Interest Period will be the Net Loan Rate. If the Series 2004-1
Note Auction Rate for a series of Series 2004-1 Notes for any Interest Period is
the Net Loan Rate, the Trustee shall determine the Carry-Over Amount, if any,
with respect to such series for such Interest Period. Such determination of the
Carry-Over Amount shall be made separately for each series of Series 2004-1
Notes. Each Carry-Over Amount shall bear interest calculated at a rate equal to
One-Month LIBOR (as determined by the Auction Agent, provided the Trustee has
received notice of One-Month LIBOR from the Auction Agent, and, if the Trustee
shall not have received such notice from the Auction Agent, then as determined
by the Trustee) from the Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period with
respect to which such Carry-Over Amount was calculated, until paid. Any payment
in respect of Carry-Over Amount shall be applied, first, to any accrued interest
payable thereon and, thereafter, in reduction of such Carry-Over Amount. For
purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Series
2004-1 Notes, any reference to "principal" or "interest" herein and therein
shall not include, within the meaning of such words, Carry-Over Amount or any
interest accrued on any such Carry-Over Amount. Such Carry-Over Amount shall be
separately calculated for each Series 2004-1 Note of such series by the Trustee
during such Interest Period in sufficient time for the Trustee to give notice to
each Holder of such Carry-Over Amount as required in the next succeeding
sentence. On the Interest Payment Date for an Interest Period with respect to
which such Carry-Over Amount has been calculated by the Trustee, the Trustee
shall give written notice to each Holder of the Carry-Over Amount applicable to
such Holder's Series 2004-1 Note, which written notice may accompany the payment
of interest by check made to each such Holder on such Interest Payment Date or
otherwise shall be mailed on such Interest Payment Date by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to each such Holder at such Holder's address as it appears on
the registration books maintained by the Note Registrar. Such notice shall
state, in addition to such Carry-Over Amount, that, unless and until a Series
2004-1 Note has been redeemed or has been deemed no longer Outstanding under the
Indenture (after which all accrued Carry-Over Amount with respect to such Series
2004-1 Note (and all accrued interest thereon) that remains unpaid shall be
cancelled and no Carry-Over Amount (or interest accrued thereon) shall be paid
with respect to such Series 2004-1 Note), (i) the Carry-Over Amount (and
interest accrued thereon) shall be paid by the Trustee on such Series 2004-1
Note on the first occurring Interest Payment Date for a subsequent Interest
Period if and to the extent that (l) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up Amount with
respect to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and (2) moneys are
available pursuant to the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture to pay

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

such Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon), and (ii) interest shall
accrue on the Carry-Over Amount at a per annum rate equal to One-Month LIBOR
until such Carry-Over Amount is paid in full or is cancelled.

     The Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon) for a series of Series
2004-1 Notes shall be paid by the Trustee on Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes of
such series on the first occurring Interest Payment Date for a subsequent
Interest Period if and to the extent that (i) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up
Amount with respect to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and (ii)
moneys in the Surplus Account are available on such Interest Payment Date for
transfer to the Interest Account for such purpose in accordance with the second
paragraph of Section 4.8 of the Indenture, after taking into account all other
amounts payable from the Surplus Fund in accordance with such paragraph on such
Interest Payment Date. Any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon)
with respect to any Series 2004-1 Note which is unpaid as of an Interest Payment
Date, which Series 2004-1 Note is to be redeemed or deemed no longer Outstanding
under this First Supplemental Indenture on such Interest Payment Date, shall be
paid to the Holder thereof on such Interest Payment Date to the extent that
moneys are available therefor in accordance with the provisions of the preceding
clause (ii); provided, however, that any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest
accrued thereon) which is not so paid on such Interest Payment Date shall be
cancelled with respect to such Series 2004-1 Note on such Interest Payment Date
and shall not be paid on any succeeding Interest Payment Date. To the extent
that any portion of the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon)
remains unpaid after payment of a portion thereof, such unpaid portion shall be
paid in whole or in part as required hereunder until fully paid by the Trustee
on the next occurring Interest Payment Date or Dates, as necessary, for a
subsequent Interest Period or Periods, if and to the extent that the conditions
in the first sentence of this paragraph are satisfied. On any Interest Payment
Date on which the Trustee pays less than all of the Carry-Over Amount (and any
interest accrued thereon) with respect to a Series 2004-1 Note, the Trustee
shall give written notice in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph to the Holder of such Series 2004-1 Note of the Carry-Over Amount
remaining unpaid on such Series 2004-1 Note.

     The Interest Payment Date on which any Carry-Over Amount (or any interest
accrued thereon) for a series of Series 2004-1 Notes shall be paid shall be
determined by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph, and the Trustee shall make payment of the Carry-Over Amount
(and any interest accrued thereon) in the same manner as, and from the same
Account from which, it pays interest on the Series 2004-1 Notes on an Interest
Payment Date.

     In the event that the Auction Agent no longer determines, or fails to
determine, when required, the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate with respect to a
series of Series 2004-1 Notes, or, if for any reason, such manner of
determination shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the Series 2004-1
Note Auction Rate for the next succeeding Interest Period (which Interest Period
shall be an Auction Period for such series of Series 2004-1 Notes) shall be the
Net Loan Rate. The Net Loan Rate with respect to each Interest Rate
Determination Date shall be determined and communicated to the Auction Agent and
the Trustee in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

     Section 4.  Determining the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate. By purchasing
Series 2004-1 Notes, whether in an Auction or otherwise, each purchaser of the
Series 2004-1

Notes, or its Broker-Dealer, must agree and shall be deemed by such purchase to
have agreed (i) to participate in Auctions on the terms described herein, (ii)
to have its beneficial ownership of the Series 2004-1 Notes maintained at all
times in Book-Entry Form for the account of its Participant, which in turn will
maintain records of such beneficial ownership, and (iii) to authorize such
Participant to disclose to the Auction Agent such information with respect to
such beneficial ownership as the Auction Agent may request.

     So long as the ownership of a series of Series 2004-1 Notes is maintained
in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, an Existing Holder may sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of Series 2004-1 Notes of such series only
pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order placed in an Auction or otherwise sell, transfer
or dispose of Series 2004-1 Notes through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the
case of all transfers other than pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its
Broker-Dealer or its Participant advises the Auction Agent of such transfer.
Auctions shall be conducted on each Auction Date, if there is an Auction Agent
on such Auction Date, in the following manner (such procedures to be applicable
separately to each series of the Series 2004-1 Notes):

          (a)  (i)  Prior to the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date;

          (A)  each Existing Holder of Series 2004-1 Notes may submit to a
     Broker-Dealer by telephone or otherwise any information as to:

               (1)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes, if
          any, owned by such Existing Holder which such Existing Holder desires
          to continue to own without regard to the Auction Rate for the next
          succeeding Auction Period;

               (2)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes, if
          any, which such Existing Holder offers to sell if the Auction Rate for
          the next succeeding Auction Period shall be less than the rate per
          annum specified by such Existing Holder; and/or

               (3)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes, if
          any, owned by such Existing Holder which such Existing Holder offers
          to sell without regard to the Auction Rate for the next succeeding
          Auction Period; and

          (B)  one or more Broker-Dealers may contact Potential Holders to
     determine the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes which each Potential
     Holder offers to purchase, if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding
     Auction Period shall not be less than the rate per annum specified by such
     Potential Holder.

          The statement of an Existing Holder or a Potential Holder referred to
     in (A) or (B) of this paragraph (i) is herein referred to as an "Order,"
     and each Existing Holder and each Potential Holder placing an Order is
     herein referred to as a "Bidder"; an Order described in clause (A)(1) is
     herein referred to as a "Hold Order"; an Order described in clauses (A)(2)
     and (B) is herein referred to as a "Bid"; and an Order described in clause
     (A)(3) is herein referred to as a "Sell Order."

          (ii) (A)  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, a Bid by
     an Existing Holder shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell:

                    (1)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes
               specified in such Bid if the Auction Rate determined as provided
               in this Section 4 shall be less than the rate specified therein;
               or

                    (2)  such principal amount, or a lesser principal amount of
               Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes to be determined as set forth in
               Section 4(d)(i)(D) hereof, if the Auction Rate determined as
               provided in this Section 4 shall be equal to the rate specified
               therein; or

                    (3)  such principal amount, or a lesser principal amount of
               Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes to be determined as set forth in
               Section 4(d)(ii)(C) hereof, if the rate specified therein shall
               be higher than the Maximum Auction Rate and Sufficient Bids have
               not been made.

               (B)  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, a Sell
          Order by an Existing Holder shall constitute an irrevocable offer to
          sell:

                    (1)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes
               specified in such Sell Order; or

                    (2)  such principal amount, or a lesser principal amount, of
               Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes set forth in Section 4(d)(ii)(C)
               hereof, if Sufficient Bids have not been made.

               (C)  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, a Bid by a
          Potential Holder shall constitute an irrevocable offer to purchase:

                    (1)  the principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes
               specified in such Bid if the Auction Rate determined as provided
               in this Section 4 shall be higher than the rate specified in such
               Bid; or

                    (2)  such principal amount, or a lesser principal amount of
               Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes set forth in Section 4(d)(i)(E)
               hereof, if the Auction Rate determined as provided in this
               Section 4 shall be equal to the rate specified in such Bid.

          (b)  (i)  Each Broker-Dealer shall submit in writing to the Auction
     Agent prior to the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date all Orders
     obtained by such Broker-Dealer and shall specify with respect to each such
     Order:

               (A)  the name of the Bidder placing such Order;

               (B)  the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes that
          are the subject of such Order;

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

               (C)  to the extent that such Bidder is an Existing Holder:

                    (1)  the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes, if any,
               subject to any Hold Order placed by such Existing Holder;

                    (2)  the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes, if any,
               subject to any Bid placed by such Existing Holder and the rate
               specified in such Bid; and

                    (3)  the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes, if any,
               subject to any Sell Order placed by such Existing Holder; and

               (D)  to the extent such Bidder is a Potential Holder, the rate
          specified in such Potential Holder's Bid.

          (ii)   If any rate specified in any Bid contains more than three
     figures to the right of the decimal point, the Auction Agent shall round
     such rate up to the next higher .001%.

          (iii)  If an Order or Orders covering all Outstanding Series 2004-1
     Notes owned by an Existing Holder is not submitted to the Auction Agent
     prior to the Submission Deadline, the Auction Agent shall deem a Hold Order
     to have been submitted on behalf of such Existing Holder covering the
     principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing
     Holder and not subject to an Order submitted to the Auction Agent.

          (iv)   Neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor the Auction Agent
     shall be responsible for any failure of a Broker-Dealer to submit an Order
     to the Auction Agent on behalf of any Existing Holder or Potential Holder.

          (v)    If any Existing Holder submits through a Broker-Dealer to the
     Auction Agent one or more Orders covering in the aggregate more than the
     principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing
     Holder, such Orders shall be considered valid as follows and in the
     following order of priority:

                 (A)  All Hold Orders shall be considered valid, but only up to
          the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes
          owned by such Existing Holder, and if the aggregate principal amount
          of Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Hold Orders exceeds the
          aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such
          Existing Holder, the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes
          subject to each such Hold Order shall be reduced pro rata so that the
          aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Hold
          Order equals the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series
          2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing Holder.

                 (B)  (1)  any Bid shall be considered valid up to an amount
                 equal to the excess of the principal amount of Outstanding
                 Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing Holder over the
                 aggregate principal amount of

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

                 Series 2004-1 Notes subject to any Hold Order referred to in
                 clause (A) of this paragraph (v);

                      (2)  subject to subclause (1) of this clause (B), if more
                 than one Bid with the same rate is submitted on behalf of such
                 Existing Holder and the aggregate principal amount of
                 Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Bids is greater
                 than such excess, such Bids shall be considered valid up to an
                 amount equal to such excess;

                      (3)  subject to subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause (B),
                 if more than one Bid with different rates are submitted on
                 behalf of such Existing Holder, such Bids shall be considered
                 valid first in the ascending order of their respective rates
                 until the highest rate is reached at which such excess exists
                 and then at such rate up to the amount of such excess; and

                      (4)  in any such event, the amount of Outstanding Series
                 2004-1 Notes, if any, subject to Bids not valid under this
                 clause (B) shall be treated as the subject of a Bid by a
                 Potential Holder at the rate therein specified; and

                 (C)  All Sell Orders shall be considered valid up to an amount
          equal to the excess of the principal amount of Outstanding Series
          2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing Holder over the aggregate
          principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes subject to Hold Orders
          referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph (v) and valid Bids
          referred to in clause (B) of this paragraph (v).

          (vi)   If more than one Bid for Series 2004-1 Notes is submitted on
     behalf of any Potential Holder, each Bid submitted shall be a separate Bid
     with the rate and principal amount therein specified.

          (vii)  An Existing Holder that offers to purchase additional Series
     2004-1 Notes is, for purposes of such offer, treated as a Potential Holder.

          (viii) Any Bid or Sell Order submitted by an Existing Holder covering
     an aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes not equal to an
     Authorized Denomination shall be rejected and shall be deemed a Hold Order.
     Any Bid submitted by a Potential Holder covering an aggregate principal
     amount of Series 2004-1 Notes not equal to an Authorized Denomination shall
     be rejected.

          (ix)   Any Bid specifying a rate higher than the Maximum Auction Rate
     will (a) be treated as a Sell Order if submitted by an Existing Holder and
     (b) not be accepted if submitted by a Potential Holder.

          (x)    Any Order submitted in an Auction by a Broker-Dealer to the
     Auction Agent prior to the Submission Deadline on any Auction Date shall be
     irrevocable.

          (c)    (i)  Not earlier than the Submission Deadline on each Auction
     Date, the Auction Agent shall assemble all valid Orders submitted or deemed
     submitted to it by

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

     the Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted or deemed submitted by a
     Broker-Dealer being herein referred to individually as a "Submitted Hold
     Order," a "Submitted Bid" or a "Submitted Sell Order," as the case may be,
     or as a "Submitted Order," and collectively as "Submitted Hold Orders,"
     "Submitted Bids" or "Submitted Sell Orders," as the case may be, or as
     "Submitted Orders") and shall determine:

                 (A)  the excess of the total principal amount of Outstanding
          Series 2004-1 Notes over the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
          Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to Submitted Hold Orders (such
          excess being herein referred to as the "Available Series 2004-1
          Notes"), and

                 (B)  from the Submitted Orders whether:

                      (1)  the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series
                 2004-1 Notes subject to Submitted Bids by Potential Holders
                 specifying one or more rates equal to or lower than the Maximum
                 Auction Rate;

                 exceeds or is equal to the sum of:

                      (2)  the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series
                 2004-1 Notes subject to Submitted Bids by Existing Holders
                 specifying one or more rates higher than the Maximum Auction
                 Rate; and

                      (3)  the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series
                 2004-1 Notes subject to Submitted Sell Orders;

                 (in the event such excess or such equality exists, other than
                 because all of the Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject
                 to Submitted Hold Orders, such Submitted Bids described in
                 subclause (1) above shall be referred to collectively as
                 "Sufficient Bids"); and

                 (C)  if Sufficient Bids exist, the Bid Auction Rate, which
          shall be the lowest rate specified in such Submitted Bids such that
          if:

                      (1)  (x) each such Submitted Bid from Existing Holders
                 specifying such lowest rate and (y) all other Submitted Bids
                 from Existing Holders specifying lower rates were rejected,
                 thus entitling such Existing Holders to continue to own the
                 principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such
                 Submitted Bids; and

                      (2)  (x) each such Submitted Bid from Potential Holders
                 specifying such lowest rate and (y) all other Submitted Bids
                 from Potential Holders specifying lower rates were accepted;

                 the result would be that such Existing Holders described in
                 subclause (1) above would continue to own an aggregate
                 principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes which, when
                 added to the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series
                 2004-1 Notes to be purchased by

<PAGE>

                 such Potential Holders described in subclause (2) above, would
                 equal not less than the Available Series 2004-1 Notes.

          (ii)   Promptly after the Auction Agent has made the determinations
     pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) hereof, the Auction Agent shall advise the
     Trustee, the Broker-Dealers and the Corporation of the Net Loan Rate, the
     Maximum Auction Rate and the All Hold Rate and the components thereof on
     the Auction Date and, based on such determinations, the Auction Rate for
     the next succeeding Interest Period as follows:

                 (A)  if Sufficient Bids exist, that the Auction Rate for the
          next succeeding Interest Period shall be equal to the Bid Auction Rate
          so determined;

                 (B)  if Sufficient Bids do not exist (other than because all of
          the Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject to Submitted Hold
          Orders), that the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Interest Period
          shall be equal to the Maximum Auction Rate; or

                 (C)  if all Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject to
          Submitted Hold Orders, that the Auction Rate for the next succeeding
          Interest Period shall be equal to the All Hold Rate.

          (iii)  Promptly after the Auction Agent has determined the Auction
     Rate, the Auction Agent shall determine and advise the Trustee of the
     Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, which rate shall be the lesser of (a) the
     Auction Rate and (b) the Net Loan Rate; provided, however, that in no event
     shall the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate exceed the Series 2004-1 Note
     Auction Rate Limitation.

     (d)  Existing Holders shall continue to own the principal amount of Series
2004-1 Notes that are subject to Submitted Hold Orders. If Sufficient Bids have
been received by the Auction Agent, the Bid Auction Rate will be the Auction
Rate, and Submitted Bids and Submitted Sell Orders will be accepted or rejected
and the Auction Agent will take such other action as described below in
subparagraph (i).

     If the Auction Agent has not received Sufficient Bids (other than because
all of the Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject to Submitted Hold
Orders), the Auction Rate will be the Maximum Auction Rate, and Submitted Orders
will be accepted or rejected and the Auction Agent will take such other action
as described below in subparagraph (ii).

          (i)    if Sufficient Bids have been made, all Submitted Sell Orders
     shall be accepted and, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (iv) and (v)
     of this Section 4(d), Submitted Bids shall be accepted or rejected as
     follows in the following order of priority, and all other Submitted Bids
     shall be rejected:

                 (A)  Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate that
          is higher than the Bid Auction Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring
          each such Existing Holder to sell the aggregate principal amount of
          Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted Bids;

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

          (B)  Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate that is
     lower than the Bid Auction Rate shall be rejected, thus entitling each such
     Existing Holder to continue to own the aggregate principal amount of Series
     2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted Bids;

          (C)  Potential Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate that is
     lower than the Bid Auction Rate shall be accepted;

          (D)  Each Existing Holders' Submitted Bid specifying a rate that is
     equal to the Bid Auction Rate shall be rejected, thus entitling such
     Existing Holder to continue to own the aggregate principal amount of Series
     2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted Bid, unless the aggregate principal
     amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to all such Submitted
     Bids shall be greater than the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes (the
     "remaining principal amount") equal to the excess of the Available Series
     2004-1 Notes over the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes
     subject to Submitted Bids described in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section
     4(d)(i), in which event such Submitted Bid of such Existing Holder shall be
     rejected in part, and such Existing Holder shall be entitled to continue to
     own the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted
     Bid, but only in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
     Series 2004-1 Notes obtained by multiplying the remaining principal amount
     by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the principal amount of
     Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such Existing Holder subject to
     such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the
     principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such
     Submitted Bids made by all such Existing Holders that specified a rate
     equal to the Bid Auction Rate; and

          (E)  Each Potential Holder's Submitted Bid specifying a rate that is
     equal to the Bid Auction Rate shall be accepted, but only in an amount
     equal to the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes obtained by
     multiplying the excess of the aggregate principal amount of Available
     Series 2004-1 Notes over the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1
     Notes subject to Submitted Bids described in clauses (B), (C) and (D) of
     this Section 4(d)(i) by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the
     aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to
     such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the
     principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to Submitted
     Bids made by all such Potential Holders that specified a rate equal to the
     Bid Auction Rate.

     (ii)  If Sufficient Bids have not been made (other than because all of the
Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject to Submitted Hold Orders), subject
to the provisions of Section 4(d)(iv) hereof, Submitted Orders shall be accepted
or rejected as follows in the following order of priority and all other
Submitted Bids shall be rejected:

               (A)  Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate that is
          equal to or lower than the Maximum Auction Rate shall be rejected,
          thus entitling such

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

          Existing Holders to continue to own the aggregate principal amount of
          Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted Bids;

               (B)  Potential Holders' Submitted Bids specifying (1) any rate
          that is equal to or lower than the Maximum Auction Rate shall be
          accepted and (2) any rate that is higher than the Maximum Auction Rate
          shall be rejected; and

               (C)  each Existing Holder's Submitted Bid specifying any rate
          that is higher than the Maximum Auction Rate and the Submitted Sell
          Order of each Existing Holder shall be accepted, thus entitling each
          Existing Holder that submitted any such Submitted Bid or Submitted
          Sell Order to sell the Series 2004-1 Notes subject to such Submitted
          Bid or Submitted Sell Order, but in both cases only in an amount equal
          to the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes obtained by
          multiplying the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes
          subject to Submitted Bids described in clause (B)(1) of this Section
          4(d)(ii) by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the aggregate
          principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes owned by such
          Existing Holder subject to such Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order
          and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount
          of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes subject to all such Submitted Bids
          and Submitted Sell Orders.

          (iii)  If all Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are subject to Submitted
     Hold Orders, all Submitted Bids shall be rejected.

          (iv)   If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (i) or
     (ii) of this Section 4(d), any Existing Holder would be entitled or
     required to sell, or any Potential Holder would be entitled or required to
     purchase, a principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes that is not equal to an
     Authorized Denomination, the Auction Agent shall, in such manner as in its
     sole discretion it shall determine, round up or down the principal amount
     of Series 2004-1 Notes to be purchased or sold by any Existing Holder or
     Potential Holder so that the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes
     purchased or sold by each Existing Holder or Potential Holder shall be
     equal to an Authorized Denomination.

          (v)    If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (i) of
     this Section 4(d), any Potential Holder would be entitled or required to
     purchase less than an Authorized Denomination of Series 2004-1 Notes, the
     Auction Agent shall, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall
     determine, allocate Series 2004-1 Notes for purchase among Potential
     Holders so that only Series 2004-1 Notes in Authorized Denominations are
     purchased by any Potential Holder, even if such allocation results in one
     or more of such Potential Holders not purchasing any Series 2004-1 Notes.

     (e)  Based on the result of each Auction, the Auction Agent shall determine
the aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes to be purchased and the
aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes to be sold by Potential
Holders and Existing Holders on whose behalf each Broker-Dealer submitted Bids
or Sell Orders and, with respect to each Broker-Dealer, to the extent that such
aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes to be sold differs from such
aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes to be purchased, determine

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

to which other Broker-Dealer or Broker-Dealers acting for one or more purchasers
such Broker-Dealer shall deliver, or from which other Broker-Dealer or
Broker-Dealers acting for one or more sellers such Broker-Dealer shall receive,
as the case may be, Series 2004-1 Notes.

     (f)  Any calculation by the Auction Agent, the Corporation or the Trustee,
as applicable, of the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, One-Month LIBOR,
Three-Month LIBOR, Maximum Auction Rate, All Hold Rate and Non-Payment Rate, and
any calculation by or on behalf of the Corporation of the Net Loan Rate, shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be binding on all other parties.

     (g)  Notwithstanding anything in this First Supplemental Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Auction will be held on any Auction Date hereunder
during the continuance of a Payment Default.

     Section 5.  Determination of Payment Defaults and Payment of Auction Agent
and Broker-Dealer Fees.

          (a)  The Trustee shall determine, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York
     City time, on the Business Day next succeeding each Interest Payment Date
     relating to a series of Series 2004-1 Notes, whether a Payment Default has
     occurred with respect to such series. If a Payment Default has occurred,
     the Trustee shall, not later than 2:15 p.m., New York City time, on such
     Business Day, send a notice thereof in substantially the form of Exhibit C
     attached hereto to the Auction Agent by telecopy or similar means and, if
     such Payment Default is cured, the Trustee shall immediately send a notice
     in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto to the Auction Agent
     by telecopy or similar means.

          (b)  Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on each Interest
     Payment Date relating to a series of Series 2004-1 Notes, the Corporation
     shall pay to the Auction Agent, in immediately available funds out of
     amounts available therefor in the Administration Fund, an amount equal to
     the Auction Agent Fee and the Broker-Dealer Fee as calculated in accordance
     with the Auction Agent Agreement. The Corporation shall, from time to time
     at the request of the Auction Agent, reimburse the Auction Agent for its
     reasonable expenses as provided in the Auction Agent Agreement, such
     expenses to be paid out of amounts available therefor in the Administration
     Fund.

     Section 6.  Calculation of Maximum Auction Rate, All Hold Rate, Net Loan
Rate, One-Month LIBOR, Three-Month LIBOR and Non-Payment Rate. The Auction Agent
shall calculate the Maximum Auction Rate, the All Hold Rate and One-Month LIBOR
or Three-Month LIBOR, as the case may be, on each Auction Date and shall notify
the Trustee and the Broker-Dealers of the Maximum Auction Rate, the All Hold
Rate and One-Month LIBOR or Three-Month LIBOR, as the case may be, as provided
in the Auction Agent Agreement. If the ownership of the Series 2004-1 Notes is
no longer maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, the
Trustee shall calculate the Maximum Auction Rate on the Business Day immediately
preceding each Interest Payment Date after the delivery of definitive Series
2004-1 Notes pursuant to Section 17 hereof. If a Payment Default shall have
occurred, the Trustee shall calculate the Non-Payment Rate on the Interest Rate
Determination Date for (i) each Interest Period commencing after the occurrence
and during the continuance of such

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

Payment Default and (ii) any Interest Period commencing less than two Business
Days after the cure of any Payment Default. The Auction Agent shall determine
One-Month LIBOR or Three-Month LIBOR, as applicable, for each Interest Period
other than the first Interest Period; provided that if the ownership of the
Series 2004-1 Notes is no longer maintained in Book-Entry Form, or if a Payment
Default has occurred, then the Trustee shall determine One-Month LIBOR or
Three-Month LIBOR, as applicable, for each such Interest Period. The
determination by the Trustee or the Auction Agent, as the case may be, of
One-Month LIBOR or Three-Month LIBOR, as applicable, shall (in the absence of
manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. If calculated or
determined by the Auction Agent, the Auction Agent shall promptly advise the
Trustee of One-Month LIBOR or Three-Month LIBOR, as applicable.

     The Net Loan Rate with respect to each Interest Rate Determination Date
shall be determined by or on behalf of the Corporation and written notice
thereof given to the Auction Agent and the Trustee on or prior to the
twenty-fifth day (or, if such twenty-fifth day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day) of the calendar month preceding such Interest Rate
Determination Date. If the Corporation shall fail or refuse to determine the Net
Loan Rate, the Net Loan Rate shall be the Net Loan Rate last determined and
communicated to the Auction Agent and the Trustee in accordance with this
paragraph. The determination by or on behalf of the Corporation of the Net Loan
Rate shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all
parties.

     Section 7.  Notification of Rates, Amounts and Payment Dates.

     (a)  By 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Regular Record Date with
respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, the Trustee shall determine the aggregate
amounts of interest distributable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date
to the beneficial owners of each series thereof.

     (b)  As soon as practicable prior to each Interest Payment Date with
respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, the Trustee shall:

          (i)   confirm with the Auction Agent, so long as no Payment Default
     has occurred and is continuing and the ownership of each series of Series
     2004-1 Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository,
     (1) the date of such next Interest Payment Date and (2) the amount payable
     to the Auction Agent on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 5(b)
     hereof;

          (ii)  pursuant to Section 3 hereof, advise the Holders of each series
     of Series 2004-1 Notes of any Carry-Over Amount accruing on such Series
     2004-1 Notes; and

          (iii) advise the Securities Depository, so long as the ownership of
     each series of Series 2004-1 Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the
     Securities Depository, upon request, of the Series 2004-1 Note Interest
     Rate payable on such series of Series 2004-1 Notes and the interest amount.

     If any day scheduled to be an Interest Payment Date with respect to a
series of Series 2004-1 Notes shall be changed after the Trustee shall have
given the notice or confirmation referred to in clause (i) of the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall, not later than 9:15 a.m., New

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

York City time, on the Business Day next preceding the earlier of the new
Interest Payment Date or the old Interest Payment Date, by such means as the
Trustee deems practicable, give notice of such change to the Auction Agent, so
long as no Payment Default has occurred and is continuing and the ownership of
the Series 2004-1 Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities
Depository.

     Section 8.  Auction Agent.

     (a)  Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is hereby appointed as Initial
Auction Agent to serve as agent for the Corporation in connection with Auctions.
The Trustee and the Corporation will, and the Trustee is hereby directed to,
enter into the Initial Auction Agent Agreement with Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as the Initial Auction Agent. Any Substitute Auction Agent shall be
(i) a bank, national banking association or trust company duly organized under
the laws of the United States of America or any state or territory thereof
having its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, or
such other location as approved by the Trustee in writing and having a combined
capital stock or surplus of at least $50,000,000, or (ii) a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., having a capitalization of at
least $50,000,000, and, in either case, authorized by law to perform all the
duties imposed upon it hereunder and under the Auction Agent Agreement. The
Auction Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and
obligations created by this First Supplemental Indenture by giving at least
ninety (90) days' notice to the Trustee, the Market Agent and the Corporation.
The Auction Agent may be removed at any time by the Trustee upon the written
direction of an Authorized Officer of the Corporation or the Holders of 66-2/3%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2004-1 Senior Notes then
Outstanding (or, if no Series 2004-1 Senior Notes are then Outstanding, the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2004-B1 Notes
then Outstanding), and, if by such Holders, by an instrument signed by such
Holders or their attorneys and filed with the Auction Agent, the Corporation and
the Trustee upon at least ninety (90) days' notice. Neither resignation nor
removal of the Auction Agent pursuant to the preceding two sentences shall be
effective unless and until a Substitute Auction Agent has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment. However, if a successor Auction Agent shall not have
been appointed within sixty (60) days from the date of a notice of resignation,
the resigning Auction Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Auction Agent. If required by the Corporation, a
Substitute Auction Agent Agreement shall be entered into with a Substitute
Auction Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Auction Agent may terminate
the Auction Agent Agreement if, within twenty-five (25) days after notifying the
Trustee, the Market Agent and the Corporation in writing that it has not
received payment of any Auction Agent Fee due it in accordance with the terms of
the Auction Agent Agreement, the Auction Agent does not receive such payment.

     (b)  If the Auction Agent shall resign or be removed or be dissolved, or if
the property or affairs of the Auction Agent shall be taken under the control of
any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for any other reason, the Trustee at the direction of an
Authorized Officer of the Corporation, shall use its best efforts to appoint a
Substitute Auction Agent.

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

     (c)  The Auction Agent is acting as agent for the Corporation in connection
with Auctions. In the absence of bad faith, negligent failure to act or
negligence on its part, the Auction Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted or any error of judgment made by it in the
performance of its duties under the Auction Agent Agreement and shall not be
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless the Auction Agent
shall have been negligent in ascertaining (or failing to ascertain) the
pertinent facts.

     (d)  In the event of a change in the Auction Agent Fee Rate pursuant to
Section 6.4(b) of the Auction Agent Agreement, the Auction Agent shall give a
Notice of Fee Rate Change to the Trustee in accordance with the Auction Agent
Agreement.

     Section 9.  Broker-Dealers.

     (a)  The Auction Agent will enter into a Broker-Dealer Agreement with RBC
Dain Rauscher Inc., as the sole initial Broker-Dealer with respect to the Series
2004-1 Notes. An Authorized Officer of the Corporation may, from time to time,
approve one or more additional persons to serve as Broker-Dealers under
Broker-Dealer Agreements and shall be responsible for providing such
Broker-Dealer Agreements to the Trustee and the Auction Agent; provided,
however, that while RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. is serving as a Broker-Dealer with
respect to a series of the Series 2004-1 Notes, RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. shall
have the right to consent to the approval of any additional Broker-Dealers with
respect to such series, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

     (b)  Any Broker-Dealer may be removed at any time, at the request of an
Authorized Officer of the Corporation, but there shall, at all times, be at
least one Broker-Dealer appointed and acting as such.

     Section 10. Changes in Auction Period or Periods.

     (a)  While any of the Series 2004-1 Notes are Outstanding, the Corporation
may, from time to time, convert the length of one or more Auction Periods (an
"Auction Period Adjustment"), in order to conform with then current market
practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and
financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the length of the Auction
Period and the Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate borne by the Series 2004-1
Notes. The Corporation shall not initiate an Auction Period Adjustment unless it
shall have received, not less than three (3) days nor more than twenty (20) days
prior to the Auction Period Adjustment, (i) the written consent of the Market
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) written
confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies then rating the Series 2004-1
Notes that such Auction Period Adjustment will not adversely affect its ratings
then applicable to any of the Series 2004-1 Notes. The Corporation shall
initiate the Auction Period Adjustment by giving written notice by Corporation
Order to the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Market Agent and the Securities
Depository in substantially the form of, or containing substantially the
information contained in, Exhibit E to this First Supplemental Indenture at
least ten (10) days prior to the Auction Date for such Auction Period.

     (b)  Any such adjusted Auction Period shall not be less than seven (7) days
nor more than ninety-one (91) days. If any such adjusted Auction Period will be
less than twenty-eight

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

(28) days, the notice described above will be effective only if it is
accompanied by a written statement of the Trustee, the Auction Agent and the
Securities Depository to the effect that they are capable of performing their
duties, if any, under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Auction Agent
Agreement and any Broker-Dealer Agreement with respect to such changed Auction
Period.

     (c)  An Auction Period Adjustment shall take effect only (A) if the Trustee
and the Auction Agent receive, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day before the Auction Date for the first such Auction Period, a
Corporation Certificate in substantially the form attached as, or containing
substantially the same information contained in, Exhibit F to this First
Supplemental Indenture, authorizing the Auction Period Adjustment specified in
such certificate along with a copy of the consent of the Market Agent and the
Rating Agency confirmations described in subparagraph (a) above and, if
applicable, the written statement of the Trustee, the Auction Agent and the
Securities Depository described in subparagraph (b) above, and (B) Sufficient
Bids exist as of the Auction on the Auction Date for such first Auction Period.
If the condition referred to in (A) above is not met, the Series 2004-1 Note
Interest Rate for the next Auction Period shall be determined pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 4 through 9 hereof and the Auction Period shall be the
Auction Period determined without reference to the proposed change. If the
condition referred to in (A) is met but the condition referred in (B) above is
not met, the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate for the next Auction Period shall
be the lesser of the Maximum Auction Rate and the Net Loan Rate and the Auction
Period shall be the Auction Period determined without reference to the proposed
change.

     In connection with any Auction Period Adjustment, the Auction Agent shall
provide such further notice to such parties as is specified in Section 2.5 of
the Auction Agent Agreement.

     Section 11. Changes in the Auction Date. The Market Agent, with the written
consent of an Authorized Officer of the Corporation, may specify an earlier
Auction Date (but in no event more than five Business Days earlier) than the
Auction Date that would otherwise be determined in accordance with the
definition of "Auction Date" in Section 1 of this First Supplemental Indenture
with respect to one or more specified Auction Periods in order to conform with
then current market practice with respect to similar securities or to
accommodate economic and financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the
day of the week constituting an Auction Date and the Series 2004-1 Note Interest
Rate borne by the Series 2004-1 Notes. The Market Agent shall deliver a written
request for consent to such change in the Auction Date to the Corporation not
less than three days nor more than twenty (20) days prior to the effective date
of such change. The Market Agent shall provide notice of its determination to
specify an earlier Auction Date for one or more Auction Periods by means of a
written notice delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed changed
Auction Date to the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Corporation and the
Securities Depository. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of, or
contain substantially the information contained in, Exhibit G to this First
Supplemental Indenture.

     In connection with any change described in this Section 11, the Auction
Agent shall provide such further notice to such parties as is specified in
Section 2.5 of the Auction Agent Agreement.

     Section 12. Additional Provisions Regarding the Series 2004-1 Note Interest
Rate. The determination of a Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate by the Auction
Agent or any other Person pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Section
of this First Supplemental Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the
Holders of the series of Series 2004-1 Notes to which such Series 2004-1 Note
Interest Rate applies, and the Corporation and the Trustee may rely thereon for
all purposes.

     In no event shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on a
series of Series 2004-1 Notes (including interest calculated as provided herein,
plus any other amounts that constitute interest on the Series 2004-1 Notes of
such series under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged, reserved,
taken or received pursuant to the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series or related
documents) calculated from the date of issuance of such series through any
subsequent day during the term of such series or otherwise prior to payment in
full of the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series exceed the amount permitted by
applicable law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Series 2004-1 Notes of a series
or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or
received in connection with the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series, or if the
redemption or acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2004-1 Notes of such
series results in payment to or receipt by the Holder or any former Holder of
the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then, notwithstanding any provision of the Series
2004-1 Notes of such series or related documents to the contrary, all excess
amounts theretofore paid or received with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes of
such series shall be credited on the principal balance of the Series 2004-1
Notes of such series (or, if the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series have been
paid or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the recipient thereof), and
the provisions of the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series and related documents
shall automatically and immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity
of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law,
but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
under the Series 2004-1 Notes of such series and under the related documents.

     Section 13. Qualifications of Market Agent. The Market Agent shall be a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., have a
capitalization of at least $50,000,000 and be authorized by law to perform all
the duties imposed upon it by this First Supplemental Indenture. The Market
Agent may resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this
First Supplemental Indenture by giving at least thirty (30) days notice to the
Corporation and the Trustee, provided that such resignation shall not be
effective until the appointment of a successor market agent by the Corporation
and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor market agent. The
Market Agent may be replaced at the direction of the Corporation, by an
instrument signed by an Authorized Officer of the Corporation filed with the
Market Agent and the Trustee at least thirty (30) days before the effective date
of such replacement, provided that such replacement shall not be effective until
the appointment of a successor market agent by the Corporation and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor market agent.

     In the event that the Market Agent shall be removed or be dissolved, or if
the property or affairs of the Market Agent shall be taken under the control of
any state or federal court or

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency, or for any other
reason, and there is no Market Agent, and the Corporation shall not have
appointed its successor as Market Agent, the Trustee, notwithstanding the
provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 13, shall be deemed to be the
Market Agent for all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture until the
appointment by the Corporation of the successor Market Agent. Nothing in this
Section 13 shall be construed as conferring on the Trustee additional duties
other than as set forth herein.

     Section 14. Purposes of Issuance of Series 2004-1 Notes. The Series 2004-1

subject to redemption as provided in this Section 16.

     (A)  Redemption From Unexpended Proceeds. Subject to compliance with
Section 10.2 of the Indenture, Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes shall be
redeemed, in part, on the first regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date
occurring after May 1, 2004, for which notice can be given in accordance with
subsection (E) of this Section 16, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes so redeemed, from proceeds of the Series
2004-1 Notes constituting that portion of the Balance of the Series 2004-1
Acquisition Account that have not been used to acquire Eligible Loans by May 1,
2004, and from that portion of the Reserve Fund which, if left in the Reserve
Fund upon such redemption, would cause the Balance in the Reserve Fund to exceed
the Reserve Fund Requirement, calculated after giving effect to such redemption.
The Trustee shall transfer any moneys to be so used to redeem Series 2004-1
Notes to the credit of the Series 2004-1 Retirement Subaccount for such purpose
without any further authorization or direction.

     (B)  Redemption from Surplus Account. Subject to compliance with Section
10.2 of the Indenture, Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes shall be redeemed on any
regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect thereto, in whole or in

redeemed, from that portion of the Balance of the Series 2004-1 Surplus
Subaccount transferred to the Series 2004-1 Retirement Account in accordance
with this subsection (B). If there are any amounts in the Series 2004-1 Surplus
Subaccount which have been on deposit therein for at least twelve (12) months,
and if there are no deficiencies in any of the Indemnification Fund, the Note
Fund, the Reserve Fund or the Special Redemption and Prepayment Account, the
Trustee shall give written notice to the Corporation that such moneys will be
transferred to the Series 2004-1 Retirement Account and applied to the
redemption of Series 2004-1 Notes in accordance with this subsection (B) unless

delivers to the Trustee a Corporation Certificate to the effect that some or all
of such amounts are reasonably expected to be necessary to pay Debt Service on
the Outstanding Notes or on Outstanding Other Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts,
including accrued interest thereon, with respect to Outstanding Notes,
Administrative Expenses or Note Fees or to make required deposits to the
Indemnification Fund. Any amounts so certified by the Corporation will remain in
the Series 2004-1 Surplus Subaccount and will not be applied to the redemption
of Series 2004-1 Notes pursuant to this subsection (B).

     (C)  Optional Redemption. Subject to compliance with Section 10.2 of the
Indenture, Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes may, at the option of the Corporation
and from amounts credited to the Retirement Account for such purpose, be
redeemed on any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect thereto,
in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of Series 2004-1 Notes to be so redeemed.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except from amounts provided from the Series
2004-1 Capitalized Interest Account pursuant to Section 19 hereof, no Series
2004-1 Notes shall be redeemed pursuant to this subsection (C) unless the
Trustee receives, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed Redemption
Date (unless a shorter notice is satisfactory to the Trustee), a Corporation
Certificate certifying that, based on a Cash Flow Projection, such redemption of
such Series 2004-1 Notes will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's
ability to pay Debt Service on the Outstanding Notes and Outstanding Other
Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with
respect to Outstanding Notes, Administrative Expenses or Note Fees or to make
required deposits to the Indemnification Fund.

     (D)  Selection of Series 2004-1 Notes for Redemption. If less than all
Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to subsections (A),
(B) or (C) of this Section 16, the principal amounts of each series of Series
2004-1 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected as follows: to the extent that the
provisions of Section 10.2 of the Indenture will not be violated thereby and
subject to subsection (F) of this Section 16, either (i) that principal amount
of Series 2004-B1 Notes shall be redeemed which bears, as nearly as practicable,
the same (but no greater) proportion to the aggregate principal amount of all
Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes to be redeemed as the aggregate principal amount
of Outstanding Series 2004-B1 Notes bears to the aggregate principal amount of
all Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes or (ii) if the Trustee receives, at least
forty-five (45) days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice is
satisfactory to the Trustee), (a) a Corporation Certificate certifying that,
based on a Cash Flow Projection, a different proportion of Series 2004-B1 Notes
to be redeemed will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to
pay Debt Service on the Outstanding Notes and on Outstanding Other Obligations,
Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with respect to
Outstanding Notes, Administrative Expenses or Note Fees or to make required
deposits to the Indemnification Fund, and (b) a written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that a different proportion of Series 2004-B1 Notes to be redeemed
will not adversely affect any rating or ratings then applicable to any of the
Unenhanced Notes, Series 2004-B1 Notes shall be redeemed in such principal
amount as is designated by the Corporation in such certificate and is within the
scope of such confirmation. The remaining Series 2004-1 Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected from each series of the Series 2004-1 Senior Notes in, as
nearly as practicable, the same proportion to the aggregate principal amount of
all Outstanding Series 2004-1 Senior Notes to be redeemed as the aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Series 2004-1 Senior Notes of such series bears
to the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Series 2004-1 Senior Notes.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, to the extent
Series 2004-B1 Notes cannot be redeemed due to the application of Section 10.2
of the Indenture, but Series 2004-1 Senior Notes may be redeemed without
violating the provisions of said Section 10.2, the particular Series 2004-1
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected from the Series 2004-1 Senior Notes in
the manner described in the preceding paragraph.

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

     If less than all of the Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes of a given series
are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 16, the particular Series 2004-1
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot in such manner as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Series 2004-1 Notes in
an Authorized Denomination.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Note Registrar and any Paying Agent
for the Series 2004-1 Notes (in each case, if other than the Trustee) in writing
of the Series 2004-1 Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Series 2004-1 Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed.

     For all purposes of the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires,
all provisions relating to the redemption of Series 2004-1 Notes shall relate,
in the case of any Series 2004-1 Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part,
to the portion of the principal of such Series 2004-1 Note which has been or is
to be redeemed.

     (E)  Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of Series 2004-1 Notes
pursuant to this Section 16 shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior
to the Redemption Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4 of the
Indenture.

     Section 17. Book-Entry Series 2004-1 Notes.

     (a)  The registered Holder of all Series 2004-1 Notes shall be the
Securities Depository and the Series 2004-1 Notes shall be registered in the
name of the nominee for the Securities Depository. The "Series 2004-1 Notes"
referred to in this subsection (a) shall refer to the Series 2004-1 Notes
registered in the name of the Securities Depository.

     (b)  The Series 2004-1 Notes shall be initially issued in the form of
separate, single, authenticated fully-registered Series 2004-1 Notes for each
series thereof in the amount of such series. Upon initial issuance, the
ownership of each such Series 2004-1 Note shall be registered in the
registration books kept by the Note Registrar in the name of the nominee of the
Securities Depository. The Trustee and the Corporation may treat the Securities
Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Series 2004-1
Notes registered in its name for the purposes of (1) payment of the principal or
Redemption Price of, interest on or Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued
interest thereon) with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, (2) selecting the
Series 2004-1 Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, (3) giving any notice
permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, (4)
registering the transfer of Series 2004-1 Notes, and (5) obtaining any consent
or other action to be taken by Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Trustee nor the Corporation shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary (except as provided in subsection (c) below). Neither the Trustee
nor the Corporation shall have any responsibility or obligation to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other Person claiming a beneficial
ownership interest in the Series 2004-1 Notes under or through the Securities
Depository or any Participant, or any other Person which is not shown on the
registration books of the Note Registrar as being a Holder, with respect to the
accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities Depository or any
Participant, the payment to the Securities Depository of any amount in respect
of the principal or Redemption Price of, interest on or Carry-Over Amount
(including any accrued interest thereon) with respect to the

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

Series 2004-1 Notes; any notice which is permitted or required to be given to
Holders under the Indenture; the selection by the Securities Depository or any
Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial
redemption of the Series 2004-1 Notes; or any consent given or other action
taken by the Securities Depository as Holder. The Trustee shall pay all
principal and Redemption Price of, interest on and Carry-Over Amount (including
any accrued interest thereon) with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes only "to
or upon the order of" the Securities Depository (as that phrase is used in the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of South Dakota), and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the
Corporation's obligations with respect to the principal, purchase price or
Redemption Price of, interest on and Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued
interest thereon) with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid. Except as provided in subsection(c) below, no Person other
than the Securities Depository shall receive an authenticated Series 2004-1 Note
evidencing the obligation of the Corporation to make payments of principal or
Redemption Price, interest and Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued interest
thereon) pursuant to this Indenture. Upon delivery by the Securities Depository
to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Securities Depository
has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the preceding nominee,
the Series 2004-1 Notes will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance
with subsection (f) below.

     (c)  Except with respect to any Series 2004-1 Notes during such time as
they bear interest at the Auction Rate, in the event the Corporation determines
that it is in the best interest of the Corporation not to continue the
book-entry system of transfer or that the interest of the Holders might be
adversely affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued, the
Corporation may so notify the Securities Depository and the Trustee, whereupon
the Securities Depository will notify the Participants of the availability
through the Securities Depository of definitive Series 2004-1 Notes. In such
event, the Trustee shall authenticate, transfer and exchange definitive Series
2004-1 Notes as requested by the Securities Depository in appropriate amounts in
accordance with subsection (f) below. The Securities Depository may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes at
any time by giving notice to the Corporation and the Trustee and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, or the Corporation
may determine that the Securities Depository is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities and may so advise the Securities Depository. In either such
event, the Corporation shall either establish its own book-entry system or use
reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor Securities Depository), the Corporation
and the Trustee shall be obligated to deliver definitive Series 2004-1 Notes as
described in this Indenture and in accordance with subsection (f) below. In the
event definitive Series 2004-1 Notes are issued, the provisions of this
Indenture shall apply to such definitive Series 2004-1 Notes in all respects,
including, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such Series 2004-1
Notes and the method of payment of principal or Redemption Price of, interest on
and Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued interest thereon) with respect to
such Series 2004-1 Notes. Whenever the Securities Depository requests the
Corporation and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee and the Corporation will
cooperate with the Securities Depository in taking appropriate action after
reasonable notice (A) to make available one or more separate definitive Series
2004-1 Notes to any Participant having Series 2004-1 Notes credited to its
account with the Securities Depository or (B) to arrange for another securities
depository to maintain custody of definitive Series 2004-1 Notes.

     (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary,
so long as any Series 2004-1 Note is registered in the name of the nominee of
the Securities Depository, all payments with respect to the principal or
Redemption Price of, interest on and Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued
interest thereon) with respect to such Series 2004-1 Note and all notices with
respect to such Series 2004-1 Note shall be made and given, respectively, to the
Securities Depository as provided in its letter of representations.

     (e)  In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to
Holders pursuant to the Indenture by the Corporation or the Trustee or with
respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Corporation
or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such
consent or other action and give the Securities Depository notice of such record
date not less than fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to
the extent possible. Such notice to the Securities Depository shall be given
only when the Securities Depository is the sole Holder.

     (f)  In the event that any transfer or exchange of Series 2004-1 Notes is
permitted under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 17, such transfer or
exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Trustee from the registered
Holder thereof of the Series 2004-1 Notes to be transferred or exchanged and
appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee, all in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. In the event
definitive Series 2004-1 Notes are issued to Holders other than the nominee of
the Securities Depository, or another securities depository as Holder of all the
Series 2004-1 Notes, the provisions of the Indenture shall also apply to, among
other things, the printing of such definitive Series 2004-1 Notes and the
methods of payment of principal or Redemption Price of, interest on and
Carry-Over Amount (including any accrued interest thereon) with respect to such
Series 2004-1 Notes.

     (g)  Notwithstanding any provision of Article Ten of the Indenture to the
contrary, in connection with any redemption of Series 2004-1 Notes while The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), is the sole Holder, the
Corporation shall give notice of such redemption to the Trustee at least thirty
(30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption with respect to the Series
2004-1 Notes, and the Trustee shall give notice of redemption to DTC as Holder
of such Series 2004-1 Notes pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Indenture at least
fifteen (15) days and not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for
redemption of Series 2004-1 Notes.

     Section 18. Series 2004-1 Accounts and Subaccounts. So long as any Series

Balances of any Account or Subaccount established by this Section 18 for any
purpose for which Balances of the Fund or Account in which such Account or

     When there shall be no Series 2004-1 Notes Outstanding, the Series 2004-1
Acquisition Account and the Series 2004-1 Capitalized Interest Account shall
terminate and any Balance thereof at such time shall be used as other Balances

Corporation Order that, based on a Cash Flow Projection, any such amount is not
reasonably expected to be needed to remedy a deficiency in the Series 2004-1
Interest Subaccount as described above, and (ii) such transfer and application
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the outstanding rating

     Section 20. Certain Findings, Determinations and Designations. The
Corporation hereby finds and determines as follows:

          (A)  The Original Indenture has not been amended, supplemented or
     repealed since the execution thereof. This First Supplemental Indenture
     supplements the Indenture, constitutes and is a "Supplemental Indenture"
     within the meaning of such term as defined and used in the Indenture and is
     executed under and pursuant to the Indenture.

          (B)  No Notes have heretofore been issued under the Indenture. The
     Series 2004-A1 Notes, the Series 2004-A2 Notes, the Series 2004-A3 Notes,
     the Series 2004-A4 Notes and the Series 2004-A5 Notes constitute, and are
     hereby designated as, "Class A Notes" within the meaning of the term as
     defined and used in the Indenture, and the Series 2004-B1 Notes constitute,
     and are hereby designated as, "Class B Notes" within the meaning of the
     term as defined and used in the Indenture.

          (C)  Upon receipt of the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2004-1
     Notes: (1) the Trust Estate pledged under the Indenture will not be
     encumbered by any lien or charge thereon or pledge thereof, other than the
     lien and charge thereon and pledge thereof created by the Indenture for the
     payment and security of the Notes; and (2) there will not be outstanding
     any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness payable from and
     secured by a lien on or pledge or charge upon the Trust Estate pledged
     under the Indenture other than the Series 2004-1 Notes.

          (D)  There does not exist an "Event of Default," within the meaning of
     such term as defined in the Indenture, which is continuing, nor does there
     exist any condition which, after the passage of time, would constitute such
     an "Event of Default."

     Section 21. Purchase or Origination of Eligible Loans From Series 2004-1
Acquisition Account and Series 2004-1 Surplus Subaccount. The price paid to
purchase an Eligible Loan from the Balances in the Series 2004-1 Acquisition
Account (other than the Eligible Loans to be purchased pursuant to the Series
2004-1 Transfer Agreement, the purchase price for which is set forth in such
agreement) shall not exceed 100% of the remaining unpaid principal amount of
such Eligible Loan, plus accrued Special Allowance Payments and noncapitalized
borrower interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, reasonable transfer,
origination and assignment fees, if applicable, and, in the case of FFELP Loans
only, a premium

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

which would not cause the weighted average of the premiums paid on all FFELP
Loans Financed from the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account to exceed 1.75% (or
such greater premium the payment of which will not materially adversely affect
the Corporation's ability to pay Debt Service on the Outstanding Notes, Other
Indenture Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon)
with respect to Outstanding Notes, Administrative Expenses or Note Fees or to
make required transfers to the Indemnification Fund, as shown in a subsequent
Cash Flow Projection received by the Trustee, and which will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the outstanding rating assigned by any Rating Agency
to the Series 2004-1 Notes, as evidenced in writing to the Trustee by each such
Rating Agency), and as otherwise authorized by Section 4.2 of the Indenture.

     None of the proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Notes deposited in the Series
2004-1 Acquisition Account in accordance with Section 15(D) hereof may be used
to purchase or originate Alternative Loans except as provided in Section
15(D)(1) hereof; provided that such proceeds may be so used if such use will not
materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to pay Debt Service on the
Outstanding Notes, Other Indenture Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts (including
accrued interest thereon) with respect to Outstanding Notes, Administrative
Expenses or Note Fees or to make required transfers to the Indemnification Fund,
as shown in a subsequent Cash Flow Projection received by the Trustee, and which
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the outstanding rating
assigned by any Rating Agency to the Series 2004-1 Notes, as evidenced in
writing to the Trustee by each such Rating Agency. The aggregate principal
amount of Alternative Loans Financed as provided in Section 15(D)(1) hereof
shall not exceed $46,000,000, and no more than two percent (2%) of the
Alternative Loans so Financed will be "credit able" Alternative Loans.

     The Corporation shall not purchase or originate any Financed Student Loans
which are subject to any interest rate reduction or other program that would
reduce the yield thereon (I) if such yield reduction (a) is more than 2.0% per
annum plus (provided there are no delinquencies in the first 24 months) return
of some or all of the origination fee in excess of $250, (b) may commence if any
of the first forty-eight (48) consecutive payments have not been received in a
timely fashion or (c) may continue if any payments are not received in a timely
fashion, or (II) from Balances in the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account if, as a
result of such purchase or origination, the aggregate of the amounts applied
from such Balances to the purchase or origination of Student Loans subject to
such programs would exceed 50% of the aggregate of the amounts applied from such
Balances to the purchase or origination of all Student Loans, unless the
Corporation delivers to the Trustee (i) a Corporation Certificate certifying
that, based on a Cash Flow Projection, the purchase or origination of such
Student Loan will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to
pay Debt Service on the Outstanding Notes and on Outstanding Other Obligations,
to pay Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with respect to
Outstanding Notes or to make required deposits to the Indemnification Fund, and
(ii) written confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the Series 2004-1
Notes that the purchase or origination of such Student Loan will not result in a
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Series 2004-1 Notes; provided that
the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the purchase or origination of any
Student Loan subject to a yield reduction program which the Corporation may, at
its option, discontinue at any time and which would not reduce the yield thereon
by more than .25% per annum.

     The Corporation shall not agree to, or permit any Servicer to agree to, any
discount or other reduction in the yield on any Student Loan Financed from
Balances in the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account (other than any such reduction
that existed at the time such Student Loan was so Financed) if, as a result
thereof, the yield on such Student Loan would be reduced by more than .25% per
annum, unless the Corporation delivers to the Trustee (1) a Corporation
Certificate certifying that, based on a Cash Flow Projection, such reduction
will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to pay Debt
Service on the Outstanding Notes and on Outstanding Other Obligations, to pay
Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with respect to
Outstanding Notes or to make required deposits to the Indemnification Fund, and
(2) written confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the Series 2004-1
Notes that such reduction will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of the Series 2004-1 Notes.

     The Corporation shall not purchase or originate any Student Loan from the
Balance in the Series 2004-1 Surplus Subaccount

     The Corporation shall not purchase or originate (A) any FFELP Loan from the
Balances in the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account if, as a result of an
amendment to the Higher Education Act after the date of this First Supplemental
Indenture (other than an amendment contained in a bill currently pending in
Congress and subsequently enacted into law), such FFELP Loan bears a rate of
interest that is lower than the rate of interest such FFELP Loan would have
borne under the Higher Education Act as it currently exists, or (B) any
Consolidation Loan from the Balances in the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account
that has a final payment date beyond November 30, 2036, unless the Corporation
delivers to the Trustee (1) a Corporation Certificate certifying that, based on
a Cash Flow Projection, the purchase or origination of such FFELP Loan or
Consolidation Loan will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's
ability to pay Debt Service on the Outstanding Notes and on Outstanding Other
Obligations, to pay Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with
respect to Outstanding Notes or to make required deposits to the Indemnification
Fund, and (2) written confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the
Series 2004-1 Notes that the purchase or origination of such FFELP Loan or
Consolidation Loan will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
the Series 2004-1 Notes.

     Section 22. Limitation on Costs of Issuance, Administrative Expenses and
Note Fees. The Corporation covenants and agrees that the Costs of Issuance,
Administrative Expenses and Note Fees to be paid, or reimbursed to the
Corporation, from the Administration Fund shall not exceed the aggregate amount
thereof specified in the Closing Cash Flow Projection, unless the Corporation
delivers to the Trustee (i) a Corporation Certificate certifying that, based on
a Cash Flow Projection, the payment or reimbursement of a greater amount of
Costs of Issuance, Administrative Expenses and Note Fees from the Administration
Fund will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to pay Debt
Service on the Outstanding Notes and on Outstanding Other Obligations, to pay
Carry-Over Amounts (including accrued interest thereon) with respect to
Outstanding Notes or to make required deposits to the Indemnification Fund and
(ii) written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies then rating the
Series 2004-1 Notes to the effect that payment or reimbursement of such
additional Costs of Issuance, Administrative Expenses or Note Fees will not
result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Series 2004-1 Notes.

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EDUCATION LOANS INCORPORATED, a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation," which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
acknowledges itself indebted and hereby promises to pay to the registered holder
specified above, or registered assigns (the "Registered Holder"), but solely
from the revenues and receipts hereinafter specified and not otherwise, the
Principal Amount specified above on the Stated Maturity Date specified above
(subject to the right of prior redemption hereinafter mentioned), upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the Principal Office of the Trustee
(as hereinafter defined), as Paying Agent for the Series 2004-1 Notes (as
hereinafter defined), or a duly appointed successor Paying Agent, and to pay
interest on said Principal Amount, but solely from the revenues and receipts
hereinafter specified and not otherwise, to the Registered Holder hereof from
the date hereof until the payment of said Principal Amount has been made or duly
provided for, payable on each Interest Payment Date and at Maturity, at the
Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate (as hereinafter

                                       A-1

<PAGE>

described), and at the same rate per annum (to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable) on overdue installments of interest.
Payment of interest on this Note on each regularly scheduled Interest Payment
Date shall be made by check or draft drawn upon the Paying Agent and mailed to
the person who is the Registered Holder hereof as of 5:00 p.m. in the city in
which the Principal Office of the Note Registrar is located on the applicable
Regular Record Date at the address of such Registered Holder as it appears on
the Note Register maintained by the Note Registrar, or, if the Registered Holder
of this Note is the Registered Holder of Series 2004-1 Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000 or more, at the direction of such Registered
Holder received by the Paying Agent by 5:00 p.m. in the city in which the
Principal Office of the Paying Agent is located on the last Business Day
preceding the applicable Regular Record Date, by electronic transfer by the
Paying Agent in immediately available funds to an account designated by such
Registered Holder. In addition, premium, if any, and interest on this Note are
payable at the Maturity hereof in the same manner as the principal hereof,
unless the date of such maturity is a regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date,
in which event interest is payable in the manner set forth in the preceding
sentence. Any interest not so timely paid or duly provided for shall cease to be
payable to the person who is the Registered Holder hereof at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date and shall be payable to the person who is
the Registered Holder hereof at the close of business on a special record date
for the payment of any such defaulted interest. Such special record date shall

     This Note is one of an authorized issue of Notes (the "Notes"), issued and
to be issued by the Corporation in one or more series pursuant to an Indenture
of Trust, dated as of February 1, 2004 (as supplemented and amended, the
"Indenture"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated

Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as
Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture). As provided in the Indenture, the Notes are issuable in series which
may vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series
issued in an aggregate principal amount of $83,900,000 (the "Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Notes"). The Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes are issued
simultaneously with four other series of Class A Notes issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $335,600,000 (together with the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5]
Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Series 2004-1 Senior Notes"), and
a series of Class B Notes issued in the aggregate principal amount of
$42,500,000 (the "Series 2004-B1 Notes" and, together with the Series 2004-1
Senior Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Series 2004-1 Notes"). The
proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Notes will be used by the Corporation to (a)
acquire student loan notes incurred under the Higher Education Act and under
certain Alternative Loan Programs, (b) fund the Reserve Fund, (c) pay a portion
of the interest coming due on the Series 2004-1 Notes and (d) pay Costs of
Issuance of the Series 2004-1 Notes.

     Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, copies of which are on file in
the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, and to all of the
provisions of which any Registered Holder

                                       A-2

<PAGE>

of this Note by his acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms;
the description of and the nature and extent of the security for the various
classes of Notes and Other Obligations secured thereunder; the student loan
acquisition program being financed by the issuance of the Notes; the revenues
and other moneys pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes and the Other Obligations; the nature and extent and
manner of enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon which Notes may be
issued or Other Obligations may be incurred by the Corporation thereunder,
payable from such revenues and other moneys thereunder as Senior Obligations,
Subordinate Obligations or Class C Notes; the conditions upon which the
Indenture may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the
Holders of the Notes; the rights and remedies of the Registered Holder hereof
with respect hereto and thereto, including the limitations upon the right of a
Registered Holder hereof to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity

the Corporation and the Trustee thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which
the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and covenants made therein may be discharged

initial capital letters but not defined in this Note have the respective
meanings given such terms in the Indenture. The Series 2004-1 Senior Notes are
being issued as, and will constitute, Class A Notes under the Indenture. The
Series 2004-B1 Notes are being issued as, and will constitute, Class B Notes
under the Indenture.

     The Notes and Other Obligations are limited obligations of the Corporation,
payable solely from the revenues and assets of the Corporation pledged therefor
under the Indenture, including certain notes evidencing Student Loans and the
proceeds of the Corporation's bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness,
if any, issued with respect to the Notes.

     Interest payable on this Note shall be computed on the basis of actual days
elapsed and accrue daily from the date hereof (on the basis of a 360-day year),
and is payable on each regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date prior to the
Maturity of this Note and at the Maturity of this Note. The interest payable on
each Interest Payment Date for this Note shall be that interest which has
accrued through the last day of the last complete Interest Period immediately
preceding the Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the Maturity of this
Note, the last day preceding the date of such Maturity. The Series 2004-1 Note
Interest Rate shall be effective as of and on the first day (whether or not a
Business Day) of the applicable Interest Period and be in effect thereafter
through the end of such Interest Period.

     The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear
interest at a Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, as described below, payable on
each Interest Payment Date and at the Maturity hereof, such interest to accrue
from the later of the date hereof or the date through which interest has been
paid or duly provided for.

     During the Initial Interest Period, this Note shall bear interest at the
Series 2004-1 Note Initial Interest Rate. Thereafter until an Auction Period
Adjustment, if any, this Note shall bear interest at a Series 2004-1 Note
Auction Rate based on an Auction Period that shall generally consist of 28 days,
all as determined in the First Supplemental Indenture.

                                       A-3

<PAGE>

     The Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate to be borne by this Note after the
Initial Interest Period for each Auction Period until an Auction Period
Adjustment, if any, shall be the lesser of (i) the Net Loan Rate in effect for
such Auction Period, (ii) the Auction Rate determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture and (iii) the Series
2004-1 Note Auction Rate Limitation.

     In no event shall the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on this Note exceed
the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate Limitation.

     The Interest Period, including, without limitation, an Auction Period, the
applicable Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, the method of determining the
applicable Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on each of the Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Notes and the Auction Procedures related thereto, including,
without limitation, required notices thereof to the Holders or Existing Holders
of the Series 2004-1 Senior Notes, an Auction Period Adjustment, a change in the
Auction Date and the Interest Payment Dates will be determined in accordance
with the terms, conditions and provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture
and the Auction Agent Agreement, to which terms, conditions and provisions
specific reference is hereby made, and all of which terms, conditions and
provisions are hereby specifically incorporated herein by reference.

     If the Auction Rate for the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes is greater
than the Net Loan Rate, then the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to
the Series 2004-1 Notes for that Interest Period will be the Net Loan Rate. If
the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to the Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Notes for any Interest Period is the Net Loan Rate, the Trustee
shall determine the Carry-Over Amount, if any, with respect to the Series
2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes for such Interest Period. Such Carry-Over Amount
shall bear interest calculated at a rate equal to One-Month LIBOR from the
Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period with respect to which such
Carry-Over Amount was calculated until paid. For purposes of this Note, any
reference to "principal" or "interest" herein shall not include within the
meaning of such words Carry-Over Amount or any interest accrued on any such
Carry-Over Amount. Such Carry-Over Amount shall be separately calculated for
each Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note by the Trustee during such Interest Period
in sufficient time for the Trustee to give notice to each Holder of such
Carry-Over Amount as required in the next succeeding sentence. On the Interest
Payment Date for an Interest Period with respect to which such Carry-Over Amount
has been calculated by the Trustee, the Trustee shall give written notice to
each Holder of the Carry-Over Amount applicable to each Holder's Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Note, which written notice may accompany the payment of interest by
check made to each such Holder on such Interest Payment Date or otherwise shall
be mailed on such Interest Payment Date by first class mail, postage prepaid, to
each such Holder at such Holder's address as it appears on the registration
books maintained by the Note Registrar. Such notice shall state, in addition to
such Carry-Over Amount, that, unless and until a Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5]
Note has been redeemed or has been deemed no longer Outstanding under the First
Supplemental Indenture (after which no Carry-Over Amount shall be paid with
respect to a Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note), (i) the Carry-Over Amount (and
interest accrued thereon) shall be paid by the Trustee on such Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Note on the first occurring Interest Payment Date for a subsequent
Interest Period if and to the extent that (l) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up
Amount with respect to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and (2) moneys
are available pursuant to the terms of the

                                       A-4

<PAGE>

First Supplemental Indenture to pay such Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued
thereon), and (ii) interest shall accrue on the Carry-Over Amount at a per annum
rate equal to One-Month LIBOR until such Carry-Over Amount is paid in full or is
cancelled.

     The Carry-Over Amount for the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes shall be
paid by the Trustee on Outstanding Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes on the
first occurring Interest Payment Date for a subsequent Interest Period if and to
the extent that (i) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up Amount with respect to such
Interest Period is greater than zero, and (ii) moneys in the Surplus Account are
available on such Interest Payment Date for transfer to the Interest Account for
such purpose in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,
after taking into account all other amounts payable from the Surplus Fund on
such Interest Payment Date. Any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued
thereon) which is unpaid as of an Interest Payment Date with respect to any
Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note, which Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note is to
be redeemed or deemed no longer Outstanding under the First Supplemental
Indenture on such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the Holder thereof on
such Interest Payment Date to the extent that moneys are available therefor in
accordance with the provisions of the preceding clause (ii); provided, however,
that any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) which is not so
paid on such Interest Payment Date shall be cancelled with respect to such
Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note on such Interest Payment Date and shall not be
paid on any succeeding Interest Payment Date. To the extent that any portion of
the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) remains unpaid after
payment of a portion thereof, such unpaid portion shall be paid in whole or in
part as required hereunder until fully paid by the Trustee on the next occurring
Interest Payment Date or Dates, as necessary, for a subsequent Interest Period
or Periods, if and to the extent that the conditions in the first sentence of
this paragraph are satisfied. On any Interest Payment Date on which the Trustee
pays less than all of the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon)
with respect to a Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note, the Trustee shall give
written notice in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph to
the Holder of such Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note of the Carry-Over Amount
remaining unpaid on such Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note.

     The Interest Payment Date in such subsequent Interest Period on which such
Carry-Over Amount for the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes shall be paid shall
be determined by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph, and the Trustee shall make payment of the
Carry-Over Amount in the same manner as, and from the same Account from which,
it pays interest on the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes on an Interest Payment
Date.

     By purchasing Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes, whether in an Auction or
otherwise, each purchaser of the Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes, or its
Broker-Dealer, must agree and shall be deemed by such purchase to have agreed
(i) to participate in Auctions on the terms described in the First Supplemental
Indenture, (ii) to have its beneficial ownership of the Series 2004-A1
[2][3][4][5] Notes maintained at all times in Book-Entry Form for the account of
its Participant, which in turn will maintain records of such beneficial
ownership, and (iii) to authorize such Participant to disclose to the Auction
Agent such information with respect to such beneficial ownership as the Auction
Agent may request. So long as the ownership of Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes
is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, an Existing
Holder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5]
Notes

                                       A-5

only pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order placed in an Auction or otherwise sell,
transfer or dispose of Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes through a
Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the case of all transfers other than pursuant
to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its Broker-Dealer or its Participant advises
the Auction Agent of such transfer.

     The determination of a Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate by the Auction
Agent or any other authorized Person pursuant to the provisions of the First
Supplemental Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the
Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes to which such Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate
applies, and the Corporation and the Trustee may rely thereon for all purposes.

     Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, in no event
shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on this Note (including
interest calculated as provided herein, plus any other amounts that constitute
interest on this Note under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged,
reserved, taken or received pursuant to this Note or related documents)
calculated from the date of issuance of this Note through any subsequent day
during the term of this Note or otherwise prior to payment in full of this Note
exceed the amount permitted by applicable law. If the applicable law is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this
Note or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken
or received in connection with this Note, or if the redemption or acceleration
of the maturity of this Note results in payment to or receipt by the Registered
Holder or any former Registered Holder hereof of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding any provision of this Note or
related documents to the contrary all excess amounts theretofore paid or
received with respect to this Note shall be credited on the principal balance of
this Note (or, if this Note has been paid or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded by the recipient thereof), and the provisions of this Note and related
documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this
Note and under the related documents.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements, Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes shall be redeemed,
in part, on the first regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date occurring after
May 1, 2004, for which notice can be given in accordance with the Indenture, at
a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes
so redeemed, from proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Notes constituting that portion
of the Balance of the Series 2004-1 Acquisition Account that have not been used
to acquire Eligible Loans by May 1, 2004, and from that portion of the Reserve
Fund which, if left in the Reserve Fund upon such redemption, would cause the
Balance in the Reserve Fund to exceed the Reserve Fund Requirement, calculated
after giving effect to such redemption.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements, Outstanding Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes shall
be redeemed on any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date, in whole or in
part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed, from that portion of the balance of the Series 2004-1 Surplus
Subaccount that has been on deposit therein for at least 12 months, as to which
the Corporation has failed to certify to the Trustee is necessary to pay debt
service on the

Outstanding Notes or on Outstanding Other Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts,
including accrued interest thereon, with respect to Outstanding Notes,
Administrative Expenses or Note Fees or to make required deposits to the
Indemnification Fund.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements and certain other requirements, Outstanding Series
2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes may, at the option of the Corporation, be redeemed on
any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date, in whole or in part, at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed,
from amounts credited to the Retirement Account for such purpose.

     If not all Series 2004-1 Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Series
2004-1 Notes to be redeemed are to be selected as provided in the Indenture.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail mailed at least 15
days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5]
Notes to be redeemed at his last address appearing on the Note Register; but no
defect in or failure to give such notice of redemption shall affect the validity
of proceedings for redemption of any Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes not
affected by such defect or failure. All Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes so
called for redemption will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date,
provided funds for their redemption have been duly deposited, and, except for
the purpose of payment, shall no longer be protected by the Indenture and shall
not be deemed Outstanding thereunder.

     It is provided in the Indenture that Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes of a
denomination larger than $50,000 may be redeemed in part ($50,000 or an integral
multiple thereof) and that upon any partial redemption of any such Series
2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note the same shall be surrendered in exchange for one or
more new Notes of the same series in authorized form for the unredeemed portion
of principal.

     If provision is made for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in accordance with the Indenture, this Note shall no
longer be deemed Outstanding under the Indenture, shall cease to be entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture and shall thereafter be payable solely from the
funds provided for such payment.

     If an Event of Default shall occur, the principal of all the Outstanding
Notes may and, under certain circumstances, shall be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Notes and Other Beneficiaries
under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation with, among other things, the
consent of the Holders of two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of Class
A Notes at the time Outstanding, if affected thereby, and the consent of the
Holders of two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of Class B Notes at the
time Outstanding, if affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of
the Class A Notes at the time Outstanding or Other Senior Beneficiaries or, if
no Senior Obligations are Outstanding, the Holders of specified percentages in
aggregate principal amount of the Class B Notes at the time

                                       A-7

<PAGE>

Outstanding or Other Subordinate Beneficiaries, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Registered Holder of this Note and upon all future Registered Holders hereof
and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     This Note is transferable by the Registered Holder hereof upon surrender of
this Note for transfer at the Principal Office of the Note Registrar (which

No Authenticating Agent will be initially appointed with respect to the Series
2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, no Series 2004-A1 [2][3][4][5] Note shall be required to be

     This Note is one of an authorized issue of Notes (the "Notes"), issued and
to be issued by the Corporation in one or more series pursuant to an Indenture
of Trust, dated as of February 1, 2004 (as supplemented and amended, the
"Indenture"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated
as of February 1, 2004 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), each between the
Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as
Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture). As provided in the Indenture, the Notes are issuable in series which
may vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series
of Class B Notes issued in an aggregate principal amount of $42,500,000 (the
"Series 2004-B1 Notes"). The Series 2004-B1 Notes are issued simultaneously with
five series of Class A Notes issued in the aggregate principal amount of
$419,500,000 (the "Series 2004-1 Senior Notes" and, together with the Series
2004-B1 Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Series 2004-1 Notes").
The proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Notes will be used by the Corporation to (a)
acquire student loan notes incurred under the Higher Education Act and under
certain Alternative Loan Programs, (b) fund the Reserve Fund, (c) pay a portion
of the interest coming due on the Series 2004-1 Notes and (d) pay Costs of
Issuance of the Series 2004-1 Notes.

     Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, copies of which are on file in
the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, and to all of the
provisions of which any Registered Holder of this Note by his acceptance hereof
hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description of

                                       B-2

<PAGE>

and the nature and extent of the security for the various classes of Notes and
Other Obligations secured thereunder; the student loan acquisition program being
financed by the issuance of the Notes; the revenues and other moneys pledged to
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and
the Other Obligations; the nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the
pledge; the conditions upon which Notes may be issued or Other Obligations may
be incurred by the Corporation thereunder, payable from such revenues and other
moneys thereunder as Senior Obligations, Subordinate Obligations or Class C
Notes; the conditions upon which the Indenture may be amended or supplemented
with or without the consent of the Holders of the Notes; the rights and remedies
of the Registered Holder hereof with respect hereto and thereto, including the
limitations upon the right of a Registered Holder hereof to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law with respect hereto and thereto; the
rights, duties and obligations of the Corporation and the Trustee thereunder;
the terms and provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and
covenants made therein may be discharged at or prior to the maturity or
redemption of this Note, and this Note thereafter no longer be secured by the
Indenture, or be deemed to be Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms
and provisions thereof. Terms used with initial capital letters but not defined
in this Note have the respective meanings given such terms in the Indenture. The
Series 2004-1 Senior Notes are being issued as, and will constitute, Class A
Notes under the Indenture. The Series 2004-B1 Notes are being issued as, and
will constitute, Class B Notes under the Indenture.

     The Notes and Other Obligations are limited obligations of the Corporation,
payable solely from the revenues and assets of the Corporation pledged therefor
under the Indenture, including certain notes evidencing Student Loans and the
proceeds of the Corporation's bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness,
if any, issued with respect to the Notes.

     The Series 2004-B1 Notes constitute Class B Notes under the Indenture which
are subordinated in right of payment, the direction of remedies and certain
other matters in accordance with the terms of the Indenture to the rights of the
Holders of Class A Notes issued from time to time under the Indenture
(including, without limitation, the Series 2004-1 Senior Notes) and Other Senior
Beneficiaries thereunder. A failure to pay principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on this Class B Note will not constitute an Event of Default under the
Indenture if any Senior Obligation is Outstanding.

     Interest payable on this Note shall be computed on the basis of actual days
elapsed and accrue daily from the date hereof (on the basis of a 360-day year),
and is payable on each regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date prior to the
Maturity hereof and at the Maturity hereof. The interest payable on each
Interest Payment Date for this Note shall be that interest which has accrued
through the last day of the last complete Interest Period immediately preceding
the Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the Maturity hereof, the last day
preceding the date of such Maturity. The Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate shall
be effective as of and on the first day (whether or not a Business Day) of the
applicable Interest Period and be in effect thereafter through the end of such
Interest Period.

     The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear
interest at a Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, as described below, payable on
each Interest Payment Date and at the Maturity hereof, such interest to accrue
from the later of the date hereof or the date through which interest has been
paid or duly provided for.

                                       B-3

     During the Initial Interest Period, this Note shall bear interest at the
Series 2004-1 Note Initial Interest Rate. Thereafter until an Auction Period
Adjustment, if any, this Note shall bear interest at a Series 2004-1 Note
Auction Rate based on an Auction Period that shall generally consist of 28 days,
all as determined in the First Supplemental Indenture.

     The Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate to be borne by this Note after the
Initial Interest Period for each Auction Period until an Auction Period
Adjustment, if any, shall be the lesser of (i) the Net Loan Rate in effect for
such Auction Period, (ii) the Auction Rate determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture and (iii) the Series
2004-1 Note Auction Rate Limitation.

     In no event shall the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on this Note exceed
the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate Limitation.

     The Interest Period, including, without limitation, an Auction Period, the
applicable Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate, the method of determining the
applicable Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate on each of the Series 2004-B1 Notes
and the Auction Procedures related thereto, including, without limitation,
required notices thereof to the Holders or Existing Holders of the Series 2004-1
Senior Notes, an Auction Period Adjustment, a change in the Auction Date and the
Interest Payment Dates will be determined in accordance with the terms,
conditions and provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture and the Auction
Agent Agreement, to which terms, conditions and provisions specific reference is
hereby made, and all of which terms, conditions and provisions are hereby
specifically incorporated herein by reference.

     If the Auction Rate for the Series 2004-B1 Notes is greater than the Net
Loan Rate, then the Series 2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to the Series
2004-1 Notes for that Interest Period will be the Net Loan Rate. If the Series
2004-1 Note Auction Rate applicable to the Series 2004-B1 Notes for any Interest
Period is the Net Loan Rate, the Trustee shall determine the Carry-Over Amount,
if any, with respect to the Series 2004-B1 Notes for such Interest Period. Such
Carry-Over Amount shall bear interest calculated at a rate equal to One-Month
LIBOR from the Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period with respect to
which such Carry-Over Amount was calculated until paid. For purposes of this
Note, any reference to "principal" or "interest" herein shall not include within
the meaning of such words Carry-Over Amount or any interest accrued on any such
Carry-Over Amount. Such Carry-Over Amount shall be separately calculated for
each Series 2004-B1 Note by the Trustee during such Interest Period in
sufficient time for the Trustee to give notice to each Holder of such Carry-Over
Amount as required in the next succeeding sentence. On the Interest Payment Date
for an Interest Period with respect to which such Carry-Over Amount has been
calculated by the Trustee, the Trustee shall give written notice to each Holder
of the Carry-Over Amount applicable to each Holder's Series 2004-B1 Note, which
written notice may accompany the payment of interest by check made to each such
Holder on such Interest Payment Date or otherwise shall be mailed on such
Interest Payment Date by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each such Holder
at such Holder's address as it appears on the registration books maintained by
the Note Registrar. Such notice shall state, in addition to such Carry-Over
Amount, that, unless and until a Series 2004-B1 Note has been redeemed or has
been deemed no longer Outstanding under the First Supplemental Indenture (after
which no Carry-Over Amount shall be paid with respect to a Series 2004-B1 Note),
(i) the Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon) shall be paid by the
Trustee on

                                       B-4

<PAGE>

such Series 2004-B1 Note on the first occurring Interest Payment Date for a
subsequent Interest Period if and to the extent that (l) the Eligible Carry-Over
Make-Up Amount with respect to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and
(2) moneys are available pursuant to the terms of the First Supplemental
Indenture to pay such Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon), and (ii)
interest shall accrue on the Carry-Over Amount at a per annum rate equal to
One-Month LIBOR until such Carry-Over Amount is paid in full or is cancelled.

     The Carry-Over Amount for the Series 2004-B1 Notes shall be paid by the
Trustee on Outstanding Series 2004-B1 Notes on the first occurring Interest
Payment Date for a subsequent Interest Period if and to the extent that (i) the
Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up Amount with respect to such Interest Period is
greater than zero, and (ii) moneys in the Surplus Account are available on such
Interest Payment Date for transfer to the Interest Account for such purpose in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, after taking into
account all other amounts payable from the Surplus Fund on such Interest Payment
Date. Any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) which is unpaid
as of an Interest Payment Date with respect to any Series 2004-B1 Note, which
Series 2004-B1 Note is to be redeemed or deemed no longer Outstanding under the
First Supplemental Indenture on such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the
Holder thereof on such Interest Payment Date to the extent that moneys are
available therefor in accordance with the provisions of the preceding clause
(ii); provided, however, that any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued
thereon) which is not so paid on such Interest Payment Date shall be cancelled
with respect to such Series 2004-B1 Note on such Interest Payment Date and shall
not be paid on any succeeding Interest Payment Date. To the extent that any
portion of the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) remains
unpaid after payment of a portion thereof, such unpaid portion shall be paid in
whole or in part as required hereunder until fully paid by the Trustee on the
next occurring Interest Payment Date or Dates, as necessary, for a subsequent
Interest Period or Periods, if and to the extent that the conditions in the
first sentence of this paragraph are satisfied. On any Interest Payment Date on
which the Trustee pays less than all of the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest
accrued thereon) with respect to a Series 2004-B1 Note, the Trustee shall give
written notice in the manner set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph to
the Holder of such Series 2004-B1 Note of the Carry-Over Amount remaining unpaid
on such Series 2004-B1 Note.

     The Interest Payment Date in such subsequent Interest Period on which such
Carry-Over Amount for the Series 2004-B1 Notes shall be paid shall be determined
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph, and the Trustee shall make payment of the Carry-Over Amount in the
same manner as, and from the same Account from which, it pays interest on the
Series 2004-B1 Notes on an Interest Payment Date.

     By purchasing Series 2004-B1 Notes, whether in an Auction or otherwise,
each purchaser of the Series 2004-B1 Notes, or its Broker-Dealer, must agree and
shall be deemed by such purchase to have agreed (i) to participate in Auctions
on the terms described in the First Supplemental Indenture, (ii) to have its
beneficial ownership of the Series 2004-B1 Notes maintained at all times in
Book-Entry Form for the account of its Participant, which in turn will maintain
records of such beneficial ownership, and (iii) to authorize such Participant to
disclose to the Auction Agent such information with respect to such beneficial
ownership as the Auction Agent may request. So long as the ownership of Series
2004-B1 Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, an
Existing Holder may sell, transfer or otherwise

                                       B-5

<PAGE>

dispose of Series 2004-B1 Notes only pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order placed in
an Auction or otherwise sell, transfer or dispose of Series 2004-B1 Notes
through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the case of all transfers other than
pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its Broker-Dealer or its Participant
advises the Auction Agent of such transfer.

     The determination of a Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate by the Auction
Agent or any other authorized Person pursuant to the provisions of the First
Supplemental Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the
Series 2004-B1 Notes to which such Series 2004-1 Note Interest Rate applies, and
the Corporation and the Trustee may rely thereon for all purposes.

     Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, in no event
shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on this Note (including
interest calculated as provided herein, plus any other amounts that constitute
interest on this Note under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged,
reserved, taken or received pursuant to this Note or related documents)
calculated from the date of issuance of this Note through any subsequent day
during the term of this Note or otherwise prior to payment in full of this Note
exceed the amount permitted by applicable law. If the applicable law is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this
Note or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken
or received in connection with this Note, or if the redemption or acceleration
of the maturity of this Note results in payment to or receipt by the Registered
Holder or any former Registered Holder hereof of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding any provision of this Note or
related documents to the contrary all excess amounts theretofore paid or
received with respect to this Note shall be credited on the principal balance of
this Note (or, if this Note has been paid or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded by the recipient thereof), and the provisions of this Note and related
documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this
Note and under the related documents.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements, Outstanding Series 2004-1 Notes shall be redeemed,
in part, on the first regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date occurring after
May 1, 2004, for which notice can be given in accordance with the requirements
of the First Supplemental Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of Series 2004-1 Notes so redeemed, from proceeds of the Series
2004-1 Notes constituting a portion of the Balance of the Acquisition Fund that
have not been used to acquire Eligible Loans and from that portion of the
Reserve Fund which, if left in the Reserve Fund upon such redemption, would
cause the Balance in the Reserve Fund to exceed the Reserve Fund Requirement,
calculated giving effect to such redemption.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements, Outstanding Series 2004-B1 Notes shall be redeemed
on any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date, in whole or in part, at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed,
from that portion of the balance of the Series 2004-1 Surplus Subaccount that
has been on deposit therein for at least 12 months, as to which the Corporation
has failed to certify to the Trustee is necessary to pay debt service on the
Outstanding Notes or

                                       B-6

<PAGE>

on Outstanding Other Obligations, Carry-Over Amounts, including accrued interest
thereon, with respect to Outstanding Notes, Administrative Expenses or Note Fees
or to make required deposits to the Indemnification Fund.

     Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture relating to
certain asset requirements and certain other requirements, Outstanding Series
2004-B1 Notes may, at the option of the Corporation, be redeemed on any
regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date, in whole or in part, at a Redemption
Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, from amounts
credited to the Retirement Account for such purpose.

     If not all Series 2004-1 Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Series
2004-1 Notes to be redeemed are to be selected as provided in the Indenture.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail mailed at least 15
days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Series 2004-B1 Notes to be
redeemed at his last address appearing on the Note Register; but no defect in or
failure to give such notice of redemption shall affect the validity of
proceedings for redemption of any Note not affected by such defect or failure.
All Series 2004-B1 Notes so called for redemption will cease to bear interest on
such Redemption Date, provided funds for their redemption have been duly
deposited, and, except for the purpose of payment, shall no longer be protected
by the Indenture and shall not be deemed Outstanding thereunder.

     It is provided in the Indenture that Series 2004-B1 Notes of a denomination
larger than $50,000 may be redeemed in part ($50,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) and that upon any partial redemption of any such Series 2004-B1 Note
the same shall be surrendered in exchange for one or more new Notes of the same
series in authorized form for the unredeemed portion of principal.

     If provision is made for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in accordance with the Indenture, this Note shall no
longer be deemed Outstanding under the Indenture, shall cease to be entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture and shall thereafter be payable solely from the
funds provided for such payment.

     If an Event of Default shall occur, the principal of all the Outstanding
Notes may and, under certain circumstances, shall be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Notes and Other Beneficiaries
under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation with, among other things, the
consent of the Holders of two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of Class
A Notes at the time Outstanding, if affected thereby, and with the consent of
the Holders of two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of Class B Notes at
the time Outstanding, if affected thereby. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
principal amount of the Class A Notes at the time Outstanding or Other Senior
Beneficiaries or, if no Senior Obligations are Outstanding, the Holders of
specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Class B Notes at the
time

Outstanding or Other Subordinate Beneficiaries, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Registered Holder of this Note and upon all future Registered Holders hereof
and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     This Note is transferable by the Registered Holder hereof upon surrender of
this Note for transfer at the Principal Office of the Note Registrar (which
shall be the Trustee unless and until an Authenticating Agent becomes the Note
Registrar under the Indenture) or at the Principal Office of a duly appointed
Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term includes any
successor Authenticating Agent under the Indenture), duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, and executed by the
Registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with
signature guarantees satisfactory to the Note Registrar or the Authenticating
Agent, as the case may be. Thereupon the Corporation shall execute and the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for this Note, one or more new fully registered Notes in
the name of the transferee, of an authorized denomination, in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note, of the same series
and bearing interest at the same rate. This Note may also be exchanged for one
or more other Notes of the same series upon surrender hereof at the Principal
Office of the Note Registrar or the Principal Office of an Authenticating Agent.
No Authenticating Agent will be initially appointed with respect to the Series
2004-B1 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, no
Series 2004-B1 Note shall be required to be transferred, (i) during a period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen days before any selection of Series
2004-B1 Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of
such selection, or (ii) if such Series 2004-B1 Note has been selected for
redemption in whole or in part.

     The Corporation may require payment by the Registered Holder hereof of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note, other than certain
exchanges specifically exempted under the Indenture and not involving any
transfer.

     The Corporation, the Trustee, each Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent,
the Note Registrar and any other agent of the Corporation may treat the Person
in whose name this Note is registered on the Note Register as the absolute owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the
Corporation, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent, the Note
Registrar nor any other such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND DECLARED that all acts,
conditions and things required to have happened, to exist and to have been
performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened, do exist,
and have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner as so required.

     This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit under the Indenture until the Certificate of
Authentication hereon shall have

                                       B-8

been signed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual
signature of one of its authorized representatives.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Note to be executed in
its name by the manual signatures of its President and Secretary.
