Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended)




Definitions: The term guarantor used herein shall mean the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty
corporation. Corporation shall mean Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation. Lender shall
include the undersigned and any eligible lender who becomes the assignee, pursuant to applicable
statutes and regulations, of loans to students and parents granted under Title IV, Part B of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Act”).




Applicability. The benefits provided under this guaranty are applicable to any loan guaranteed
under the Act. Within such limits as may be established herein and/or within such limits as the
guarantor shall from time to time establish, the guarantor agrees to pay, upon proper notice of
death, permanent and total disability, default or any other event or circumstance for which a claim
may be paid under the Act, the outstanding principal and interest due to the lender upon any
student or parent loan covered by this guaranty.*




Limitations. This guaranty is subject to all applicable federal statutes and administrative
regulations. This guaranty is further subject to such limitations and procedures as are, or may
be, established by Rules and Regulations of the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation
(the “Corporation Rules and Regulations”). All applicable federal statutes and regulations and
Corporation Rules and Regulations as they may from time to time be amended are made a part of this
guaranty and incorporated herein.




The obligations of the lender as set forth in this guaranty shall constitute conditions precedent
to any obligation on the part of the guarantor.




Obligations of the Lender:





	(a)  	The lender shall be an eligible lender under the Act and federal regulations.
	 
	(b)  	The lender shall exercise due diligence as defined under the Act and federal regulations and
within the meaning of the Corporation Rules and Regulations.
	 
	(c)  	The lender shall comply with all applicable federal statutes and regulations.
	 
	(d)  	The lender shall notify the Corporation promptly of any change of name by the lender, or
assignment of the lender’s interest under this guaranty.
	 
	(e)  	Any assignments of any interest of the lender under this guaranty shall be only to
appropriate eligible lenders and shall be in compliance with all applicable provisions of
federal statutes and regulations and Corporation Rules and Regulations.
	 
	(f)  	The lender shall cooperate with the Corporation, the Department of Education and any other
appropriate federal agency in the collection of any defaulted student or parent loan.











	* Notwithstanding the foregoing, default claims
with respect to loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 1993, shall be
paid at ninety-eight percent (98%) of the outstanding principal and interest
due to the lender, or such lesser rate, if any, as may be provided in Section
428(b)(1)(G) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Specifically,
and without limitation, this guaranty shall not apply to any loan which is not
eligible for reinsurance as a result of school based defenses or other defenses
to enforceability under state or federal law. Payment hereunder is expressly
limited to monies constituting the guarantor’s Guaranty Reserve Fund as
established in accordance with the regulations governing the Federal Family
Education Loan Program as found in 34 CFR 682.410(a)(1) or as provided under
Title IV, Part B, Section 432(o) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended.




 









 











	(g)  	The lender shall assist eligible borrowers in securing reductions on obligations to pay
interest on loans made by, or assigned to, the lender which reductions the borrowers may be
eligible to receive under applicable federal statutes and regulations and the Corporation
Rules and Regulations.





Termination. This guaranty may be terminated by the lender as to any loans made by the lender
following not less than thirty days written notice to the Corporation. This guaranty may be
terminated by the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation in the manner provided for by
the Corporation Rules and Regulations. The termination of this guaranty shall not affect the
coverage of any loans subject to this guaranty which were made prior to the date of termination.
