|   | (a) | Derivative market value and foreign currency adjustments:  “Base net income” excludes the periodic unrealized gains and losses that are caused by the change in fair value on derivatives used in the Company’s risk management strategy in which the Company does not qualify for “hedge treatment” under GAAP.  Included in “base net income” are the economic effects of the Company’s derivative instruments, which includes any cash paid or received being recognized as an expense or revenue upon actual derivative settlements.  “Base net income” also excludes the foreign currency transaction gains or losses caused by the re-measurement of the Company’s Euro-denominated bonds to U.S. dollars. |

|   | (b) | Amortization of intangible assets:  “Base net income” excludes the amortization of acquired intangibles. |
|--------|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | Compensation related to business combinations:  The Company has structured certain business combinations in which the consideration paid has been dependent on the sellers’ continued employment with the Company.  As such, the value of the consideration paid is recognized as compensation expense by the Company over the term of the applicable employment agreement.  The compensation expense related to existing agreements was fully expensed in 2009.  “Base net income” excludes this expense. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (d) | Variable-rate floor income:  Loans that reset annually on July 1 can generate excess spread income compared with the rate based on the special allowance payment formula in declining interest rate environments.  The Company refers to this additional income as variable-rate floor income.  The Company excludes variable-rate floor income, net of settlements paid on derivatives used to hedge student loan assets earning variable-rate floor income, from its “base net income” since the timing and amount of variable-rate floor income (if any) is uncertain, it has been eliminated by legislation for all loans originated on and after April 1, 2006, and it is in excess of expected spreads.  In addition, because variable-rate floor income is subject to the underlying rate for the subject loans being reset annually on July 1, it is a factor beyond the Company’s control which can affect the period-to-period comparability of results of operations. |

|   | (b) | All derivatives are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.  The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined by derivative pricing models using the stated terms of the contracts and observable yield curves, forward foreign currency exchange rates, and volatilities from active markets.  Fair value of derivative instruments is comprised of market value less accrued interest and excludes collateral. |

|   | · | Interactive Marketing – Interactive marketing revenue is derived primarily from fees which are earned through the delivery of qualified leads or clicks. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is deemed to have occurred at the time a qualified lead or click is delivered to the customer provided that no significant obligations remain. From time to time, the Company may agree to credit certain leads or clicks if they fail to meet the contractual or other guidelines of a particular client. The Company has established a sales reserve based on historical experience. To date, such credits have been immaterial and within management’s expectations. |

|   | (a) | The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility.  Management has structured the majority of the Company’s derivative transactions with the intent that each is economically effective; however, the Company’s derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.  Derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company’s net interest income. |

|   | (a) | Variable student loan spread increased to 0.90% and 0.94% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with 0.66% and 0.54% for the same periods in 2009 as further discussed in this Item 2 under “Asset Generation and Management Operating Segment – Results of Operations – Student Loan Spread Analysis.” |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | The Company has a portfolio of student loans that are earning interest at a fixed borrower rate which exceeds the statutorily defined variable lender rate generating fixed rate floor income. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk” for additional information. |
|--------|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | Loans that reset annually on July 1 can generate excess spread income compared with the rate based on the special allowance payment formula in declining interest rate environments.  The Company refers to this additional income as variable-rate floor income.  A portion of the Company’s portfolio was earning variable-rate floor income during the first and second quarters of 2009. No variable-rate floor income was earned during 2010. |
|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (d) | Investment interest decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009 due to lower interest rates and a decrease in average cash held. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (e) | Corporate debt interest expense includes interest expense incurred by the Company on its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Senior Notes”), Junior Subordinated Hybrid Securities, and its $750 million unsecured line of credit. Corporate debt interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009 due to a reduction in debt outstanding due to the purchase of certain Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Hybrid Securities and the maturity of the Senior Notes on June 1, 2010. During the first, second, and third quarters of 2009, the Company purchased $34.9 million, $35.5 million, and $137.9 million, respectively, of its Senior Notes. The remaining balance outstanding on the Senior Notes, $66.7 million, was paid on June 1, 2010.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company purchased $35.0 million of its Junior Subordinated Hybrid securities. |

|   | (f) | The provision for loan losses represents the periodic expense of maintaining an allowance sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the Company's portfolio of loans.  The provision for loan losses recognized by the Company was larger during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same periods in 2010, primarily due to the provision related to the Company's non-federally insured student loan portfolio.  During 2009, the Company increased its allowance for non-federally insured loans due to management's projected performance of the portfolio in light of economic conditions.  As of September 30, 2010, the dollar amount of the Company's non-federally insured student loan portfolio, including those loans in repayment and loans delinquent, decreased from the same period a year ago. These decreases, as well as continued aging of the portfolio, resulted in less provision expense recognized by the Company during 2010 as compared to 2009 related to the Company's non-federally insured portfolio. |

|   | (a) | “Loan and guaranty servicing revenue” increased due to an increase in loan servicing revenue as a result of servicing loans for the Department, as well as an increase in guaranty servicing revenue as a result of recognizing $5.3 million and $27.6 million in revenue related to rehabilitation collections on defaulted loans in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with $0.6 million and $6.9 million for the same periods in 2009. This additional revenue was offset by a decrease in external FFELP servicing revenue due to the loss of servicing volume from third party customers as a result of these customers selling their portfolios to the Company or the Department under the Purchase Program. See Item 2 under “Student Loan and Guaranty Servicing Operating Segment – Results of Operations” for additional information. |

|   | (h) | Further detail of the components of derivative settlements is included in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”  The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility.  Management has structured the majority of the Company’s derivative transactions with the intent that each is economically effective; however, the Company’s derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.  Derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company’s net interest income. |

|   | (b) | Interactive marketing revenue increased $5.4 million (21.6%) and $17.4 million (24.5%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009 as a result of an increase in interactive marketing services volume. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 2009 increased as a result of an increase in revenue for products with a higher gross profit margin. This increase in gross profit for the quarter was offset by a decrease due to more competitive pricing, leading to a decrease in the gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 2009. |

|   | (c) | Publishing services revenue increased $0.2 million (5.2%) and decreased $1.1 million (12.2%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009. The increase for the quarter is due to an increase in the quantity of products sold. This increase was offset by a decrease due to competition related to online delivery of similar products, which lead to a decrease in revenue year over year. The gross profit margin for publishing and editing services increased as a result of a shift in the mix of products sold. |

|   | (d) | Resource centers and list marketing revenue increased $0.2 million (9.5%) and $0.6 million (7.5%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009.  Resource centers and list marketing revenue increased due to an increase in contracts for new customers and pricing increases for existing customers, offset by a decrease in list sales. |

|   | (a) | The interest earned on the majority of the Company’s FFELP student loan assets is indexed to the three-month commercial paper index. The Company funds the majority of its assets with three-month LIBOR indexed floating rate securities. The relationship between these two indexes has a significant impact on student loan spread. This table shows the difference between the average three-month LIBOR and commercial paper indexes by quarter. |

|   | · | The tightening/widening of the CP/LIBOR spread increases/decreases variable student loan spread.  Historically, the movement of the various interest rate indices received on the Company’s student loan assets, primarily three-month commercial paper, and paid on the debt to fund such loans, primarily LIBOR, was highly correlated.  The short-term movement of these indices was dislocated beginning in August 2007 which negatively impacted the Company’s net interest income during the first six months of 2009.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, the CP/LIBOR spread began to tighten to more historical levels, as shown in the graph above, which has had a positive impact on spread.  In the third quarter of 2010, the CP/LIBOR spread widened, resulting in a decrease to spread. |

|   | (a) | Student loan interest, net of settlements on derivatives, increased as a result of an increase in the average student loan portfolio of $1.5 billion (6.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  This increase was offset by a decrease in the yield earned on student loans, net of settlements on derivatives, to 2.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from 2.72% compared to the same period in 2009.                   |
|--------|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | Consolidation rebate fees decreased due to a decrease in the average consolidation loan portfolio for which these fees are paid in 2010, compared with the same periods in 2009. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | The amortization of loan premiums/discounts and deferred origination costs decreased as a result of loans purchased at a discount which has reduced the net costs being amortized. |
|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (d) | Interest expense decreased as a result of a decrease in interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt which lowered the Company’s cost of funds (excluding net derivative settlements) to 0.94% and 0.83% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared with 1.07% and 1.58 % for the same periods in 2009. |
|--------|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (e) | Depending on the type of loan and when it was originated, the borrower rate on student loans is either fixed to term or is reset to an annual rate each July 1. As a result, for loans where the borrower rate is fixed to term, the Company may earn floor income for an extended period of time, which the Company refers to as fixed rate floor income.  A summary of fixed rate floor income follows. |

| (a)  Includes settlement payments on derivatives used to hedge student loans earning fixed rate floor income |

|   | (f) | Investment income decreased as a result of lower interest rates earned on cash held and a decrease in average cash held for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the same periods in 2009. |

|   | (g) | The provision for loan losses represents the periodic expense of maintaining an allowance sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the Company's portfolio of loans.  The provision for loan losses recognized by the Company was larger during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same periods in 2010, primarily due to the provision related to the Company's non-federally insured student loan portfolio.  During 2009, the Company increased its allowance for non-federally insured loans due to management's projected performance of the portfolio in light of economic conditions.  As of September 30, 2010, the dollar amount of the Company's non-federally insured student loan portfolio, including those loans in repayment and loans delinquent, decreased from the same period a year ago.  These decreases, as well as continued aging of the portfolio, resulted in less provision expense recognized by the Company during 2010 as compared to 2009 related to the Company's non-federally insured portfolio. |

|   | (h) | The Company maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce the economic effect of interest rate volatility. Management has structured the majority of the Company’s derivative transactions with the intent that each is economically effective; however, the Company’s derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivative settlements for each applicable period should be evaluated with the Company’s net interest income. |

|   | (a) | As part of the Company’s issuance of asset-backed securitizations in March 2008 and May 2008, due to credit market conditions when these notes were issued, the Company purchased the Class B subordinated notes of $36 million (par value) and $41 million (par value), respectively. These notes are not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. If the credit market conditions continue to improve, the Company anticipates selling these notes to third parties. Upon a sale to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale. The amount included in the table above is the par value of these subordinated notes and may not represent market value upon sale of the notes. |

|   | (b) | The Company has repurchased its own asset-backed securities (bonds and notes payable).  For accounting purposes, these notes are effectively retired and are not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  However, as of September 30, 2010 and October 31, 2010, $207.7 million and $315.5 million, respectively, of these securities are legally outstanding at the trust level and the Company could sell these notes to third parties or redeem the notes at par as cash is generated by the trust estate.  Upon a sale to third parties, the Company would obtain cash proceeds equal to the market value of the notes on the date of such sale.  The amount included in the table above is the par value of these notes and may not represent market value upon sale of the notes. |

|   | (b) | The Company’s FFELP student loans earn interest based on the daily average H15 financial commercial paper index calculated on a fiscal quarter. The Company’s funding includes FFELP student loans under the Department’s Participation Program.  The interest rate on the principal amount of participation interests outstanding under the Department’s Participation Program is based on a rate of commercial paper plus 50 basis points, which is set a quarter in arrears, while the earnings on the student loans is based primarily on the daily average H15 financial commercial paper index calculated on the current fiscal quarter. |

|   | (c) | The Company has used derivative instruments to hedge both the basis and repricing risk on certain student loans in which the Company earns interest based on a treasury bill rate that resets daily and are funded with debt indexed to primarily three-month LIBOR. To hedge these loans, the Company has entered into basis swaps in which the Company receives three-month LIBOR set discretely in advance and pays a weekly treasury bill rate plus a spread as defined in the agreement.
