 SECTION 8.1 Eligibility Requirements for Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall at all times be a
corporation or banking association (i) qualifying as an “eligible lender” as such term is defined in Section 435(d) of the Higher Education Act for purposes of holding legal title to the Interim Trust Loans on behalf and for the
benefit of the Depositor, with a valid lender identification number with respect to the Interim Trust Loans from the Department; and (ii) being authorized to exercise corporate trust powers and hold legal title to the Interim Trust Loans. In
case at any time the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in

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

 6 








 If at any time the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall cease to be or shall be likely to cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, then the Depositor may remove the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the outgoing Interim Eligible Lender Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee together with payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. 
  
 Any resignation or removal of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and
appointment of a successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 and
payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 8.3 Successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee. Any successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to
its predecessor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee. The predecessor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee all documents, statements, moneys and properties held by it under this
Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee any lender identification number obtained from the Department with respect to the Interim Trust Loans; and the Depositor and the predecessor Interim
Eligible Lender Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee all such rights, powers, duties
and obligations. 
  
 No successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee
shall accept such appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 8.1. 
  
 SECTION 8.4 Merger or Consolidation of Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee. Any corporation into which the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall be a 
  

 7 








 party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Interim Eligible
Lender Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder;
provided that such corporation or banking association shall be eligible pursuant to Section 8.1. 
  
 ARTICLE IX  
  
 Miscellaneous 
  
 SECTION 9.1 Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or
any Excess Distribution Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this
Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or any Excess Distribution Certificateholder. 
  
 This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the
Interim Eligible Lender Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of all the outstanding Noteholders.

of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may prescribe. 
  
 Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

 8

written notice to each other party. 
  
 SECTION 9.3
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 SECTION 9.4 Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

the benefit of, the Depositor and its successors and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and its successors, all as herein provided.
