necessary to respond promptly and appropriately to any inquiries and complaints from any source, including social media, e-mail, letter, etc., from the Borrower, the Guarantee Agency, the Secretary, the Borrower’s school, or any government or
regulatory agency regarding Loans that the Servicer is servicing for the Bank. It is anticipated that all complaint responses shall be drafted by the Servicer, subject to the Bank’s approval (provided, however, that if the Servicer does
not receive comment back from the Bank within one (1) business day after the Servicer has delivered the draft response to the Bank, the Bank’s approval shall be deemed to have been given and the Servicer may proceed with submitting the
response). However, the Bank reserves the right to respond to complaints (with information in order to so respond to be supplied by the Servicer) if required by the Bank’s regulators. To the extent allowed by law, each party will
promptly notify the other if it receives any inquiries or complaints from the Borrower, the Guarantee Agency, the Secretary, the Borrower’s school, or any government or regulatory agency regarding Loans that the Servicer is servicing for the
Bank. Each party will advise the other within five (5) business days after such party’s receipt of any preliminary finding or final report related to a review done by the Secretary or a Guaranty Agency pertaining to Loans serviced under
this Servicing Agreement.

 ARTICLE FIVE 

COVENANTS 
 SECTION 5.1
Servicer’s Covenants. The Servicer covenants and agrees that: 
 (a) The Servicer will (or will cause its subservicer or
Subcontractor to) furnish specific Loan information to the Bank on request, will retain the Loan documents and all computer and manual records, receipts, tapes and other papers delivered to, acquired by or generated by the Servicer with respect to
the Loans, and will not destroy or dispose of them, or use the information contained therein or disclose the contents thereof to others except as required or permitted under this Servicing Agreement or as required by law. All such documents,
records, receipts, tapes and papers must be retained by the Servicer until the end of any period required by law, including the Act, the Regulations, the US Patriot Act and the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations issued thereunder. The Loan
documents, records, receipts, tapes and papers must be kept in a manner to enable delivery to the Bank upon request on a timely basis; however, unless Loan documents, records, receipts, tapes and papers relating to the Loans are required to be
maintained in paper form pursuant to the Act, Regulations, or the applicable Program Rules (as applicable), or other applicable state or federal law, the Servicer is authorized to destroy and dispose of any of them, provided that the Servicer has
retained them in retrievable imaged form or has recorded their contents electronically and integrated such contents into the Servicer’s data base pertaining to the Loans such that they are easily retrievable. In the event that the Bank requests
that the Servicer retain the aforementioned Loan documents, records, receipts, tapes and papers for a period longer than is set forth above, the Servicer shall do so at the Bank’s expense, billed as a special service in accordance with
Attachment 1. 
 (b) The Servicer will (or will cause its subservicer or Subcontractor to) furnish call recordings with respect to the Loans
to the Bank on request, will retain the call recordings with respect to the Loans in accordance with the Servicer’s call retention policy (which as of the Effective Date is for a period of thirty (30) days) or as otherwise required by law
or as otherwise required by regulators (provided, however, that if the longer period is due to a regulatory requirement placed on the Bank and not the Servicer, then the Servicer shall do so at the Bank’s expense, billed as a special service in
accordance with Attachment 1), and will not use the information contained therein or disclose the contents thereof to others except as required or permitted under this Servicing Agreement or as required by law. 

(c) The Servicer will permit the Bank during normal business hours to gain real-time access to electronic information and data relating to the
Loans, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Attachment 4 (Data Access for Owners and Borrowers). 
 (d) The Servicer will make
appropriate provision for physical security of its data processing and record retention systems. The physical security provisions will, at a minimum, restrict physical access to any and all Bank data to only those individuals who have a legitimate
business need to access the data. Physical security controls will be tested on a regular basis to make sure that only authorized individuals have physical access to the Bank’s data. 

(e) The Servicer will make appropriate provision for data back-up and off-premises storage of Bank data. The Servicer will promptly regenerate
any lost, erased or destroyed data. In the event of a disaster, the Servicer agrees to implement a disaster recovery plan, in 

  
 - 13 - 








 
conformance with Attachment 6, that will enable it to conduct due diligence (except to the extent that any applicable Guarantor waives due diligence as to it) and payment processing within
fifteen (15) Payment Processing Days and to regain all other aspects of its ability to service the Loans within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a disaster. 

(f) The Servicer will maintain appropriate information security controls as more particularly set forth in Attachment 7 (the “Bank
Security Requirements”), including: 
  

	 	(i)	Access controls that restrict access to system resources and data to only to those users who require access as part of their job responsibilities. The Servicer will update access rights based on personnel or system
changes and periodically review users’ access rights at an appropriate frequency based on the risk to the application or system. The Servicer will implement appropriate Acceptable-Use Policies (“AUPs”) for each system or application
and will require users to adhere to the AUPs as part of the Servicer’s Information Security Policy. 

  

	 	(ii)	Authentication controls appropriate to the level of risk in order to protective electronic Bank data and information. 

  

	 	(iii)	Appropriate network access controls that secure the computer networks to protect against unauthorized access. 

  

	 	(iv)	Operating systems access controls that secure access to the operating systems of all system components by: securing access to system utilities; restricting and monitoring privileged access; logging and monitoring user
or program access to sensitive resources and alerting on security events; updating the operating systems with security patches, and securing the devices that can access the operating system through physical and logical means. 


 

	 	(v)	Application access controls that control access to applications by using authentication and authorization controls appropriately for the risk level of the application, and monitoring of access rights to ensure they are
the minimum required for the user’s current business needs. 

  

	 	(vi)	Remote access controls that provide secure remote access connectivity and appropriate user validation and authentication, and which can be deactivated on an individual user basis as may be required; controlling remote
access through management approvals and subsequent audits, logging and monitoring of remote access, and using strong authentication and encryption to secure communications. 


 

	 	(vii)	Use of encryption to protect information and mitigate the risk of disclosure or alteration of sensitive information stored on backup tapes or while being shipped or transported via courier service. 


 

	 	(viii)	 Malicious code controls that protect against the risk of malicious code, including but not limited to using anti-virus products on clients and




  
 - 14 - 









	 	
servers; using appropriate blocking strategy on the network perimeter; filtering input to applications; and creating, implementing, and training staff in appropriate computing policies and
practices. 

  

	 	(ix)	Intrusion detection and monitoring controls that allows the Servicer to detect and respond to information system intrusions. 

  

	 	(x)	The Servicer shall comply, and shall cause all of its employees and Subcontractors to comply, to the extent they have access to the Bank Customer Information (as defined below), with all reuse, redisclosure and other
customer information handling, processing, security, and protection requirements that are specifically required of a non-affiliated third-party processor or servicer (or Subcontractor) under the GLB Requirements and other applicable federal and
state consumer privacy laws, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that: 

  

	 	(A)	it is prohibited from disclosing or using any nonpublic personal information (as defined in the GLB Requirements) that it may obtain, maintain, process, or otherwise receive from, through or on behalf of Bank in
connection with this Servicing Agreement (the “Bank Customer Information”), except solely to carry out the purposes for which it was disclosed, including use under an applicable exception contained in Section 313.14 or 313.15 of the
FTC Final Rule, Section 332.14 or 332.15 of the Banking Agency Regulation P, or Section 1016.14 or 1016.15 of the CFPB Regulation P, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business to carry out those purposes; and 


 

	 	(B)	it has implemented and will maintain a written information security program that complies with applicable state laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of personal information (e.g., MA 201 CMR 17.00) and that
is designed to meet the following objectives as set forth in the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards; Final Rule (12 CFR Part 30, et al.) (the “Information Security Program Requirements”):


  

	 	(1)	Ensure the security and confidentiality of the Bank Customer Information; 

  

	 	(2)	Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; 

  

	 	(3)	Protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer; and 


  
 - 15 - 









	 	(4)	Ensure the proper disposal of Bank Customer Information and “consumer information” (as that term is defined in the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards; Final Rule (12 CFR Part
30, et al.)). 

 (g) Unless specifically requested by law enforcement not to communicate with the Bank, the Servicer shall
report to the Bank all known Security Incidents. “Security Incident” means any unauthorized action by a known or unknown person or automated program (e.g., worm, virus, web crawler, malware, etc.) that leads to one of the
following: unintended disclosure of confidential, customer, employee or other sensitive information, denial of service, misuse of system access, or unauthorized access or intrusion, all to the extent they affect the security, confidentiality or
integrity of the Bank’s Confidential Information received, stored, processed, or maintained by the Servicer. “Security Incident” shall also include any contact by a law enforcement agency with the Servicer regarding any of the
Bank’s Confidential Information, unless specifically mandated by law enforcement not to communicate with the Bank. To the extent the Servicer becomes aware of any Security Incidents occurring with respect to its Subcontractors that have access
(either authorized or unauthorized) to the Bank’s Confidential Information, the Servicer shall be required to report such Security Incidents in accordance with the provisions of this Section. If a Security Incident occurs, the Servicer shall
notify the Bank within 24 hours at telephone number (855) 756-2677 and by email to SOC@salliemae.com (with a follow-up written notification sent immediately via overnight mail to Sallie Mae Bank, Attention: Chief Security Officer and Chief
Privacy Officer, 300 Continental Dive, Newark, DE 19713), and provide the following information, to the extent known at such time: nature and impact of the Security Incident; actions already taken by the Servicer; the Servicer’s assessment of
immediate risk; and corrective measures to be taken, evaluation of alternatives, and next steps. The Servicer shall continue providing (i) appropriate status reports to the Bank regarding the resolution of the Security Incident and prevention
of future such Security Incidents, and (ii) cooperation, as reasonably requested by the Bank, in order to further investigate and resolve the Security Incident. The Bank may require that the services provided by the Servicer to the Bank be
suspended, connectivity with the Servicer be terminated, or that other appropriate action be taken pending such resolution. The Servicer shall preserve evidence of all Security Incidents and allow external forensic analysis either onsite or through
shipment of components. 
 (h) During the Term and thereafter for as long as the Servicer retains the Bank’s Confidential Information,
the Bank, its representatives and agents will be entitled to conduct audits of the Servicer’s relevant operations, facilities, and systems to confirm that the Servicer has complied with the Bank Security Requirements and the Information
Security Program Requirements (each, a “Security Audit”). Any Security Audit shall be scheduled with reasonable prior notice and conducted during normal business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s business
activities. The Servicer may require any such auditor to sign a customary confidentiality agreement. In the event that any Security Audit results in the discovery of material security risks to the Bank’s Confidential Information, the Servicer
shall respond to the Bank in writing with the Servicer’s plan to promptly take reasonable measures and corrective actions necessary to effectively eliminate the risk, at no cost to the Bank. The Servicer shall have fifteen (15) business
days to cure such security risk, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to a longer period of time for such cure. The Bank’s right, and the right of its representatives and agents, to conduct Security Audits, and any exercise of such
right, shall not in any way diminish or affect the Servicer’s duties and liabilities under this Servicing Agreement. 

  
 - 16 - 








 (i) The Servicer will, at its sole cost, conduct its own audits pertaining to the services
hereunder consistent with the audit practices of well managed companies that perform similar loan servicing services. Annually, during the Term and for so long as the Servicer continues to maintain any of the Bank’s Confidential
Information, the Servicer shall, at its sole cost: (i) have a nationally recognized accounting firm conduct an audit in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) developed by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and have such accounting firm issue a Service Organization Control 1 (SOC-1) Type 2 report (or substantially similar report in the event that the SSAE 16 auditing standard, SOC-1 Type 2 report is no longer
an industry standard) which shall cover the environment maintained by the Servicer to provide the services hereunder; and (ii) provide the Bank and its independent auditors with a copy of the SOC-1 Type 2 report promptly upon the completion
thereof, together with plans for addressing any deficiencies identified in the report. The foregoing pertains to the Servicer’s SSAE 16 report for FFELP Loans; in the event that the Bank desires that the Servicer also produce an annual SSAE 16
report for Private Loans, the Servicer will make a copy of such report available to the Bank at the Bank’s expense, billed as a special service in accordance with Attachment 1. 

(j) The Servicer shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors as if they were the acts and omissions of its
employees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer (i) shall oversee any such Subcontractors that obtain, maintain, process, receive, or otherwise are permitted access to Bank’s Confidential Information (including, without limitation,
all Bank Customer Information) by taking reasonable steps to select and retain Subcontractors that are capable of maintaining appropriate safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the Bank’s Confidential Information,
(b) shall require Subcontractors to comply with (i) confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in this Servicing Agreement, (ii) to the extent the Subcontractor has access to Bank Customer Information, privacy
and security provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Customer Information Handling Requirements paragraphs of this Servicing Agreement, and (iii) to the extent the Subcontractor has access to, stores, or processes the
Bank’s customers’ cardholder information, the PCI DSS (defined immediately below) in effect from time to time, and (c) shall take commercially reasonable steps to require Subcontractors to adhere to the Bank Security Requirements set
forth in Attachment 7. 
 (k) If the Servicer has access to, stores, or processes the Bank’s customers’ cardholder
information, the Servicer hereby confirms that it has on file a current Report on Compliance, evidencing that it is in compliance with the payment card industry (“PCI”) data security standard (“DSS”). The Servicer shall
provide the Bank with a copy of the PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance Letter upon request. In addition to the foregoing, to the extent applicable to the services being provided to the Bank hereunder, the Servicer will comply with and adhere to the
PCI DSS in effect from time to time. Each party shall be responsible for the implementation, testing, and compliance with respect to PCI data security controls within their respective PCI DSS boundaries. These requirements are applicable to all
infrastructure and systems processing or storing any cardholder information as defined by the PCI DSS. Any change in the Servicer’s PCI compliance and/or certification status shall be promptly communicated to the Bank. 

  
 - 17 - 








 (l) The Servicer will comply with all audit activities required under the Act, Regulations, and
the applicable Program Rules (as applicable) and will permit and assist any Guaranty Agency, Bank official or authorized agent, or governmental agency, during the Servicer’s regular business hours, to examine and audit the books and records of
the Servicer applicable to the Loans and to inspect the facilities, operations, training materials, and operating policies and procedures used or available for use to service the Loans, as well as a summary of the disaster recovery and business
continuity plan set forth in Attachment 6 and the testing results required thereunder. The Bank shall reimburse the Servicer for the Servicer’s actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in responding
to inquiries from or audits or examinations by the Bank’s regulatory authorities or agencies in their review of the Bank. In addition, should the Servicer ever cease to be a publicly traded company, the Bank shall be entitled to receive
periodic audited financials of the Servicer. 
 (m) To the extent allowed by applicable law, the Servicer shall route Bank Loan telephone
calls into recording queues on a monthly basis such that all Bank-owned FFELP and Private Loan servicing and collections calls subject to this Servicing Agreement are recorded, can be segmented and identified via reasonable search methods and are
available for random and unlimited listening by the Bank from the date the call is put into the queue and extending 30 days after the end of the month of the call. Until such time as the aforesaid recording queues are effectuated, the Servicer will
allow the Bank to listen to Bank-owned FFELP and Private Loan servicing and collections calls subject to this Servicing Agreement by placing a minimum of 20 randomly selected calls per month in folders within the NICE listening system. There are no
fees associated with this monthly listening activity. While listening to a call, if the Bank employee or representative believes the customer or the Servicer agent is disclosing non-Bank / non-affiliate data, the Bank employee or representative
will immediately terminate the listening activity. If, prior to terminating the listening activity, the Bank employee or representative believes there is reason for concern about the quality of the call, the Bank employee or representative
should forward the associated call identification information and the Servicer will produce a write-up concerning the call. Beginning 180 days prior to the end of the Preferred Stock Period, the parties will seek to implement a method as to how
the Bank may be legally able to access its FFELP and Private Loan servicing and collections calls following the end of the Preferred Stock Period. If the parties determine that they will be unable to implement such a method to the Bank’s
reasonable satisfaction prior to the end of the Preferred Stock Period, then the Bank shall have the right to deconvert its Loans from the Servicer’s system, in which case (i) the Bank and the Servicer will in good faith agree upon a
business plan and schedule for the smooth transition of the servicing of such Loans to the Bank’s servicing platform, and (ii) the Bank shall be obligated to pay only 50% of the deconversion fees that would otherwise be payable under
Attachment 1. In the event the Bank is subject to a regulatory or litigation requirement to retain calls, the Servicer will, at the Bank’s expense and billed in accordance with Attachment 1, provide a file of the recorded calls for delivery to
the Bank in an agreed upon format. Any on-going call retention will be delivered to the Bank within 10 business days from the end of the previous month. The Bank will store the calls and retain them per the requirements of the regulatory or
litigation request. 
 (n) The Servicer agrees to advise the Bank within five (5) business days of the Servicer’s receipt of any
final report issued by the Secretary, Guarantee Agency, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (to the extent that the Servicer is permitted to share any such report), or other state or federal governmental entity of the
Servicer’s material noncompliance with the Act or the Regulations or applicable laws and that affects the Loans serviced hereunder. 

  
 - 18 - 








 (o) The Servicer has the right to change any part or all of its equipment, its servicing system,
computer or data processing programs and any procedures, forms, reports and methods in connection with the services performed hereunder so long as the Servicer continues to service the Loans in conformance with the requirements herein. Material
changes to services provided (including, but not limited to, material changes in off-shore servicing) and controls must be approved by the Bank wherein such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. It is specifically understood that the intent
of this paragraph is to allow the Servicer flexibility over the methods and techniques of servicing subject to full compliance with substantive terms of this Servicing Agreement. The Servicer agrees to seek the Bank’s approval of any change
that persons similarly situated to the Servicer would in their reasonable judgment deem to be a material change made pursuant to this paragraph. 

(p) During the term of this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall maintain at least the following insurance with financially sound and
reputable insurers: 
  

	 	(i)	Liability Insurance: 

  

	 	(A)	Commercial General Liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate for claims arising out of Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal Injury, and broad form contractual
liability insurance to insure against any Bodily Injury, Property Damage or Personal Injury arising out of this Servicing Agreement. 

  

	 	(B)	Umbrella Excess Liability in an amount of at least $10,000,000 each occurrence/aggregate excess of above. 

  

	 	(ii)	Financial Institution Blanket Bond including Fidelity, Premises, Transit, Computer Crime (Funds Transfer) in an amount not less than $15,000,000 per loss and aggregate which shall respond to loss involving assets of the
Bank under the care, custody, and control of the Servicer. 

  

	 	(iii)	Errors and Omissions/Professional Liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,500,000 each claim and aggregate which shall respond to claims for wrongful acts, errors, and omissions arising out of the
Servicer’s performance of or failure to perform its obligations to the Bank under this Servicing Agreement, including technology and cyber risk coverage if required by law. 


On request of the Bank, made not more often than annually, the Servicer shall deliver to the Bank official certificates issued by the insurer to the Servicer
or an applicable Affiliate and evidencing the coverage specified above. 
 (q) The Bank will have the right to conduct internal control
and/or audit reviews of the Servicer’s provision for physical security, information security, compliance regulations, adherence to this Servicing Agreement, and other issues after giving the Servicer appropriate notice.

 ARTICLE SIX 

SERVICE PERFORMANCE MEASURES 

SECTION 6.1 Service Performance Measures. Except as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Bank, the Servicer shall perform its
duties as outlined in the attached Service Performance Measures (Attachment 2) using reasonable care, applying that degree of skill, attention, and technological innovation that the Servicer exercises generally with respect to comparable student
loans that the Servicer services on behalf of its Affiliates, all in accordance with the Act, Regulations, and the applicable Program Rules (as applicable), and other applicable federal or state law. 

The Bank will monitor compliance with the Act, Regulations, and applicable Program Rules. If issues related to Servicer non-compliance arise,
as reported in Bank monitoring reports or reviews or in regulatory examination reports, the Bank will notify the Servicer of the specifics. The Servicer will have thirty (30) days, following receipt of notice to respond to the issues and
establish action plans to correct the issues, as more particularly set forth in Attachment 2. 
 SECTION 6.2 Compliance with
Service Performance Measures. The Servicer shall comply with the specific time frames, reliability rates, and procedures set forth in the Service Performance Measures (Attachment 2 hereto), as the same may be modified in accordance with this
Section 6.2. Both parties acknowledge that industry norms and marketplace preferences dictate changes to performance service levels from time to time. The Servicer retains the right to modify Service Performance Measures relating to servicing
so long as (a) the Bank is given thirty (30) days’ prior notice and the right to reasonably negotiate pricing based on the changes in the servicing structure, (b) the modifications apply to all FFELP Loans or Private Loans of the
same types as the Loans serviced by the Servicer hereunder, regardless of the identity of the owner/holder, and (c) the modifications do not: (i) cause a violation of applicable state or federal law or the Act, Regulations, or the
applicable Program Rules (as applicable); (ii) materially and adversely affect the Servicer’s or the Bank’s ability to perform Loan servicing in a professional, cost-efficient, and customer-oriented manner, or (iii) cause such
servicing to fall below industry standards as demonstrated in benchmarking studies conducted by or for Servicer. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 

TERM, TERMINATION, AND TRANSFER 

SECTION 7.1 Term. The term of this Servicing Agreement (the “Term”) commences as of the Effective Date and shall
remain in full force and effect for an initial period of four (4) years, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms and except as provided in this Article Seven for termination with respect to specific Loans, and shall renew
automatically for additional one (1) year terms unless the Bank or the Servicer notifies the other party of its intention not to renew the Servicing Agreement at least ninety (90) days before the end of the then current term. 

SECTION 7.2 Termination as to Specific Loans. This Servicing Agreement shall terminate as to a specific Loan upon
(i) write-off of such Loan pursuant to the policies described in Section 7.5 below, (ii) the payment in full of all principal and interest by or on behalf of the 

  
 - 20 - 








 
Borrower, the Secretary, or the Guarantee Agency, or (iii) the purchase or other acquisition of such Loan by the Servicer or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms hereof, or
(iv) the sale of such Loan by the Bank to a third party, provided that the Servicer and such third party have entered into a loan servicing agreement with respect to such Loan in accordance with Section 11.3 below, or (v) with respect
solely to the Private Loans, and at the Bank’s discretion, upon deconversion of such Private Loans following no less than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer setting forth the Bank’s intention to deconvert such Private Loans
from the Servicer’s servicing system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer’s responsibilities with respect to the Bank’s documentation, as set forth herein, shall remain active. Whether or not this Servicing Agreement is
terminated with respect to specific Loans pursuant to any of clauses (i) – (v) above, it shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other Loans. 

SECTION 7.3 Procedures for Deconversion of Loans. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a proper notice of termination
or non-renewal of this Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Article Seven, Section 8.2, Section 9.2 or Section 10.5, a schedule and procedure for the orderly deconversion of Loans will be agreed to by the Servicer and the Bank (and by
FDR, to the extent applicable). The parties will cooperate with each other to resolve problems that arise during or as a result of the deconversion process. Except for deconversions of Loans pursuant to Section 9.2, below or due to sale of the
Loan(s) to the Servicer, the Bank shall pay the deconversion fees specified in Attachment 1 (and such deconversion fees will be payable, without limitation, upon any deconversion of the Loans that occurs upon the expiration of the term of this
Servicing Agreement). In addition, the Bank shall pay the removal fees specified in Attachment 1 with respect to other removals of Loans, as set forth in Attachment 1 (and described in Note 4 of Attachment 1). 

SECTION 7.4 Agreement Extension. If, despite the reasonable efforts of the parties, deconversion (i.e., transfer or removal)
cannot be completed by the effective date of termination, then, as to all Loans not removed, this Servicing Agreement will extend automatically through the date upon which removal procedures are completed. Provided the Servicer has acted in good
faith, if the failure to effect the removal of all such Loans continues for four months or more beyond the effective date of termination and is not due to the fault or negligence of the Servicer, then in addition to any increases already provided
for in Attachment 1, the fees payable by the Bank shall be increased by an amount equal to 10.0% of the fees that are then in effect, effective as of the end of such four-month period. 

SECTION 7.5 Policies Regarding Loan Balance Adjustments Through Write-Offs, Write-Downs, and Write-Ups. Except with the prior
consent of the Bank or as authorized herein, the Servicer shall not write off or write down any Loan balance. In the course of normal operations, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act, Regulations, and the Program Rules (as applicable),
and the same customs, policies, and procedures followed by the Servicer with respect to similar loans serviced by it on behalf of its Affiliates, as the same may be modified from time to time, the Servicer may systematically and routinely adjust
individual Loan accounts and Borrower accounts by writing off, writing down, or writing up balances deemed uncollectible or cost-ineffective to rectify. 

SECTION 7.6 Survival of Terms. Notwithstanding the termination of this Servicing Agreement, the provisions of Article Three with
respect to remission of payments belonging to the Bank will survive and continue in full force and effect. Any liabilities of either party to the other party arising from acts or omissions occurring prior to termination of this Servicing


  
 - 21 - 








 
Agreement shall survive the termination of this Servicing Agreement. Moreover, with regard to any rejection from a Guarantor with regard to its guarantee of a FFELP Loan, the Servicer shall have
an additional 90 days after termination of this Servicing Agreement to secure reinstatement of the Guarantor’s guarantee. In the event such guarantee cannot be reinstated within that time frame, the Servicer shall purchase the applicable
Loan(s) from the Bank pursuant to Section 9 below. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 

COMPENSATION 
 SECTION
8.1 Compensation. The Bank will compensate the Servicer for its services in accordance with the schedule of fees set forth in Attachment 1 to this Servicing Agreement. Such fees listed in Attachment 1 may be subject to increase to the
extent that a demonstrable increase occurs in the cost incurred by the Servicer in providing the services to be provided hereunder due to changes in applicable governmental regulations or Guarantee Agency program requirements, Program Rules or
increases in U.S. Postal Service rates. To the extent practicable, the Servicer shall provide the Bank with thirty (30) days’ notice prior to implementing any such fee increase. 

SECTION 8.2 Time of Payment; Interest Accrual; Set-Off; Bank Default. Fees shall be invoiced monthly in arrears and shall be
paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice. If the bill is not paid when due, interest on the unpaid balance shall accrue at the rate of the prime interest rate plus 2% per annum. If the bill (including accrued interest) is not paid within
thirty (30) days after the due date, and the bill is not disputed by the Bank (provided, however, that the Bank shall remain obligated to pay all of those charges in the bill that are not in dispute), the Servicer shall be entitled to a set-off
against funds within Servicer’s possession or control including, without limitation, funds representing payments collected on behalf of the Bank. If the bill (including accrued interest) is not paid by the Bank within forty-five (45) days
of delivery to the Bank of notice of nonpayment from the Servicer given in accordance with the notice provisions hereof (in such case, a “Bank Default”), the Servicer may terminate its obligations hereunder, subject only to its duty to
cooperate with the Bank pursuant to Article Seven. The Servicer shall not be liable to the Bank for any loss, cost, or expense suffered by the Bank and arising from the proper exercise of the right of set-off herein granted or the proper termination
of Servicer’s obligations because of a Bank Default. Servicer’s remedies are intended to be cumulative and the exercise or failure to exercise any one such remedy on a particular occasion shall not affect Servicer’s right to exercise
any other remedy on that occasion or Servicer’s right to exercise any one or more such remedies on any other occasion. 
 SECTION
8.3 Special Services. If special services are requested by the Bank, the Bank and the Servicer shall agree on pricing in advance. The Bank shall reimburse the Servicer for all special services agreed to be performed by the Servicer in
accordance with the applicable terms, if any, of Attachment 1 hereto. In addition, and to avoid ambiguity, the Bank shall also reimburse the Servicer for any charges assessed by FDR to the Servicer for any services requested by the Bank.

 ARTICLE NINE 

BREACH AND DEFAULT 

SECTION 9.1 Material Breach. 

(a) In the event of a “Material Guarantee Breach” (as hereinafter defined) that is not curable by reinstatement of the Guarantee
Agency’s guarantee, the Servicer shall purchase the affected Loan(s) as soon as practicable but not later than 90 days following the earlier of (i) the date of discovery of such Material Guarantee Breach, and (ii) the date of receipt
of the Guarantee Agency reject transmittal form with respect to such Loan. If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall purchase the Loan(s) affected by the Material Guarantee Breach not later than thirty (30) days
after receipt of a written demand from the Bank. The purchase price hereunder will be the sum of the unpaid principal amount plus accrued interest (calculated using the Amount That Guarantor Would Have Paid), the amount of any unpayable interest
subsidy payments and Special Allowance payments through the date of payment of the purchase price, plus, for FFELP Loans, any amounts the Bank must pay the Secretary in respect of such Loan (including interest subsidy payments and Special Allowance
payments which must be refunded to the Secretary). A “Material Guarantee Breach” is (1) a servicing breach that causes a full loss of a Guarantee Agency’s guarantee of a Loan serviced pursuant hereto, or (2) a failure of a
subservicer or Subcontractor to comply with a servicing requirement set forth in this Servicing Agreement and the inability of the Servicer to comply on its own with such requirement, or to force compliance by such subservicer or Subcontractor. Any
servicing breach that relates to compliance with the requirements of the Act, Program Rules, or the applicable Guarantee Agency but that does not cause a full loss of such Guarantee Agency’s obligation to guarantee payments of a Loan is not a
Material Guarantee Breach for purposes of this Section 9.1. 
 (b) In addition, if any servicing breach by the Servicer is not a
Material Guarantee Breach as defined in Section 9.1(a), and does not trigger such purchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Guarantee Agency to guarantee or reimburse all or a portion of the accrued interest (or any obligation of
the Bank to repay such interest to a Guarantee Agency), or the loss (including any obligation to repay to the Secretary) of interest subsidy and Special Allowance payments with respect to any FFELP Loan affected by such breach, then the Servicer
shall reimburse the Bank in an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts and such forfeited interest subsidy and Special Allowance payments by remitting any amounts that would have been owed to the Bank by the Guarantee
Agency but for such breach not later than (i) 60 days from the date of the Guarantee Agency’s refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of interest subsidy payments or Special Allowance payments, or (ii) in any
case in which the Servicer reasonably believes such amounts are likely to be collected, not later than 360 days from the date of the Guarantee Agency’s refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of interest subsidy
payments or Special Allowance payments. 
 SECTION 9.2 Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer
Default”) shall occur and be continuing: 
  

	 	(a)	with respect to FFELP Loans, any determination by the Secretary of the loss of the Servicer’s eligibility as a third-party servicer; 


 

	 	(b)	a Servicer Insolvency Event; 

  

	 	(c)	chronic, sustained failures to meet the Service Performance Measures set forth on Attachment 2, as described below; or 


  
 - 23 - 









	 	(d)	with respect to Private Loans, the Bank’s regulators have determined that there has been a default and/or the Bank’s regulators effectively require that the Agreement be terminated; 


then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied in accordance with Section 12.4 (or in the case of
subsection (d) above, not remedied to the satisfaction of the Bank’s regulators), the Bank may terminate this Servicing Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Servicer (or in the case of a Servicer
Insolvency Event immediately upon written notice) and may initiate the transfer process pursuant to the applicable termination and transfer provisions of this Servicing Agreement. For the purposes of subsection (c) above, the failure by the
Servicer to meet the Service Performance Measures shall not rise to the level of a chronic, sustained failure unless: (i) at least two such particular Service Performance Measures are missed by at least 10.0% during at least three consecutive
months, or (ii) any one particular Service Performance Measure is missed by at least 10.0% during at least five months during any consecutive twelve-month period during the Term. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 LIABILITY
AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 SECTION 10.1 (a) Conflicts With Other Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article Ten or anywhere else in this Agreement, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall not negate, override, or otherwise alter indemnities agreed to by and between the parties and/or their Affiliates in the
Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement (collectively, the “Other Agreements”). 
 (b)
Servicer’s Liability. The Servicer shall be liable to the Bank for any claim, loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including any claim, loss, cost (including, but not limited to remediation costs in case of data breach), damage,
liability or expense that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Bank, resulting from Servicer’s negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith, or breach of any obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant under this Servicing
Agreement. Other than in the event of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance or bad faith, the Servicer’s liability under this Servicing Agreement shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the total amount of the compensation theretofore paid
to the Servicer under Article Eight of this Servicing Agreement or $2.5 million, whichever is greater or (b) $10 million. In no event shall the Servicer be liable to the Bank for consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Anything to the
contrary contained herein notwithstanding, no additional liability shall be imposed on the Servicer pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) with respect to losses that are attributable to breaches that result in the Servicer’s purchase of a Loan
or reimbursement to the Bank pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Servicing Agreement except for the payment of third-party claims related thereto. 

The Servicer shall not be liable to the Bank pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) or otherwise for any loss or damage incurred by the Bank
arising from any incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Bank, any Guarantee Agency, or the Secretary, or for the failure of the Bank to comply with its obligations. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any information or document of
any kind reasonably believed by the Servicer to be properly executed and 

  
 - 24 - 








 
submitted by an authorized person respecting any matters arising under this Servicing Agreement. In addition, by way of further limitation, (i) where the exercise of discretion by the
Servicer in order to carry out its duties is required or permitted hereunder, the Servicer shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in the good faith exercise of such discretion, and (ii) the Servicer shall not be liable for any
breach of a Service Performance Measure that is not a material breach. No breach of a Service Performance Measure shall be deemed material unless it is the sole proximate cause of a clearly demonstrable loss to the Bank in excess of $10,000.00 or is
part of a persistent pattern of non-compliance with the Service Performance Measures. 
 Except as otherwise provided in this Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action where it is not named as a party; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder. 
 In addition, anything to the
contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Servicer shall not have any liability to the Bank with respect to any losses, claims, costs or expenses arising after the Effective Date from interpretations of any law or Regulation by any applicable
governmental or regulatory authority after the Effective Date that are different from interpretations previously taken by such governmental or regulatory authority, provided, however, that the Servicer shall promptly take the necessary corrective
action(s) to change the applicable practice, system or procedure on a going-forward basis. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all indemnities relating to governmental or regulatory actions contained in the Other Agreements shall continue in full force
and effect to the extent set forth in such Other Agreements. 
 SECTION 10.2 Indemnification by Servicer. The Servicer, after
notice and opportunity to cure as provided in Section 12.4, below, will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any claim, loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that results from (i) any material failure
of the Servicer to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the failure of any warranty given or representation made by the Servicer in this Servicing Agreement. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, no
additional liability shall be imposed on the Servicer pursuant to this Section 10.2 with respect to losses that are attributable to breaches that result in the Servicer’s purchase of a Loan or reimbursement to the Bank pursuant to
Section 9.1 of this Servicing Agreement except for the payment of third-party claims related thereto. 
 SECTION 10.3
Indemnification by Bank. The Bank will indemnify and hold Servicer harmless from any loss, cost, or expense suffered or incurred by Servicer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that results from any action of the Servicer
authorized by this Servicing Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Bank, or that results from any material failure of the Bank to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, or the failure of any warranty given or representation made by
the Bank in this Servicing Agreement. In particular, but without limitation, to the extent that the Servicer is required pursuant to Section 10.1 to appear in or is made a defendant in any legal action or other proceeding relating to the
servicing of the Loans, the Bank shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from all cost, liability or expense of the Servicer (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) not arising out of or relating to the failure of the
Servicer to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement. 

  
 - 25 - 








 SECTION 10.4 Certain Rights of the Indemnifying Party. A party with the
responsibility to indemnify hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall control the defense or settlement of any third party claim. The other party (the “Indemnified Party”) may participate in, but not control, any defense or
settlement of any third party claim to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation, except as set forth in the following sentence. However, an
indemnifying party may not admit liability or agree to a settlement that would impose an obligation upon an indemnified party without the latter’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the
control of the defense or settlement of a third party claim if (x) the Indemnifying Party fails to appear in or to defend such claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the Indemnified Party’s
costs and expenses in connection with such defense or settlement or (y) the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity with respect to such third party claim. 

SECTION 10.5 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by a force
not reasonably within the control of that party (including acts of God, acts of war, riots, insurrections, illegality of performance, strikes or other industrial disturbances, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other disasters) to satisfy
its obligations under this Servicing Agreement, such party shall not be deemed to have breached any such obligation upon delivery of written notice of such event to the other party hereto, for so long as such party remains unable to perform such
obligation as a result of such event. The following events shall not constitute force majeure events: (a) acts or omissions of Subcontractors, or (b) delays or failures to the extent they could have been avoided or their impact mitigated
through the use of commercially reasonable business continuity measures. If either party is unable to materially perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement and its performance is excused pursuant to this paragraph for a period of at
least thirty (30) days, the other party may terminate this Servicing Agreement upon at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice. 

ARTICLE ELEVEN 

ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS 

SECTION 11.1 General Rule. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as provided in this Article Eleven, no party may
assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment shall be void and without effect. 

SECTION 11.2 Mergers and Reorganizations. Each party agrees that upon (a) any merger or consolidation of such party into
another person or entity, (b) any merger or consolidation to which such party is a party that results in the creation of another person or entity, or (c) any person or entity succeeding to the properties and assets of such party
substantially as a whole, such party shall cause such person or entity (if other than such party) to execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of such party hereunder. 

SECTION 11.3 Sale of Loans. In the event that during the Term of this Servicing Agreement, as the same may be extended, the Bank
proposes to sell any Loans serviced hereunder, unless the proposed purchaser is the Servicer or one of the Servicer’s Affiliates, the Bank shall provide to the Servicer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the proposed
sale, including the name of the purchaser, the name of the responsible contact at the purchaser 

  
 - 26 - 








 
and the date of the proposed sale. Any such sale shall be subject to (i) the Servicer’s approval of the financial condition of the purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (ii) the purchaser’s entering into a new loan servicing agreement with the Servicer for the servicing of the Loans being sold, which the Servicer and the purchaser shall negotiate in good faith, and that is either
(a) substantially in the form of the private loan servicing agreement attached hereto as Attachment 9, if the sale is to occur on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or (b) on market-based terms and conditions, if the
sale is to occur after the first anniversary of the Effective Date. Any such purchaser or subsequent purchaser must pay to the Servicer a reasonable transfer fee in connection with such sale. Any such purchaser or subsequent purchaser of FFELP Loans
must be an “eligible lender” as defined under the Act. The Bank shall indemnify the Servicer and hold the Servicer harmless from any loss, cost, or expense arising from the sale of Loans serviced hereunder and from any claim by the
purchaser or purchaser’s successors and assigns in conflict with the Servicer’s rights hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.4
Subcontracts; Assignment to Servicer’s Legal Successor. The Servicer has the right to employ Subcontractors to perform activities associated with or in support of the services provided hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Servicing Agreement that requires Servicer to perform any particular service for the Bank, or to comply with any particular servicer performance measures, or to perform any other obligation hereunder, or to accept liability for any aspect of
servicing such Loans, if servicing of the applicable Loans is performed by any subservicer or Subcontractor pursuant to a subservicing agreement or subcontracting agreement executed prior to the Effective Date and the subservicing agreement or
subcontracting agreement does not require the subservicer or Subcontractor to comply with the particular servicer performance measures set forth in this Servicing Agreement, or to perform any one or more of the other obligations hereunder with
respect to such Loans, then if the Servicer is unable to force compliance by such subservicer or Subcontractor with the requirements set forth in this Servicing Agreement, the Bank’s remedy shall be limited to treating the failure as a Material
Guarantee Breach under Section 9.1 above and requiring the Servicer to purchase the affected Loan(s) pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1. With regard to all Subcontractors with which Servicer contracts after the Effective Date,
Servicer will ensure that any new Subcontractor complies with the terms of this Agreement. Except to the extent set forth earlier in this Section 11.4, the Servicer shall remain fully obligated hereunder for the performance by any Subcontractor
of services hereunder. In connection with any audit of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1(l), the Servicer shall make available to the Bank, on-site at the Servicer’s facilities, all policies and procedures and available audit reports
related to the Servicer’s audit of any such subservicer or Subcontractor or the Servicer’s vendor management of any such subservicer or Subcontractor applicable to the Loans being serviced under this Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, any Security Assessment Framework evaluations (SAFe assessments) of such subservicer or Subcontractor. The Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any legal successor of the Servicer. Upon the written request
of the Bank, the Servicer shall provide information regarding the name and qualifications of any significant Subcontractor. With respect to all such subcontracts entered into after the Effective Date of this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will
obtain the prior approval of the Bank of any offshore entity that is to serve as a Subcontractor if such entity is to have access to the non-public personal information of the Bank’s customers, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; provided, however, that if the Bank approves such an offshore Subcontractor for the purposes of this Section 11.4 for a specific service, such Subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform other services that are
reasonably defined as being within the same category of 

  
 - 27 - 








 
services. For example, if a Subcontractor is approved to perform in-bound call center activity where the Subcontractor will have access to the non-public personal information of the Bank’s
customers, such Subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform outbound call center activity if the scope of the Servicer’s subcontract with such Subcontractor is subsequently expanded. Similarly, if a Subcontractor is approved to perform
specific account processing activities where the Subcontractor will have access to the non-public personal information of the Bank’s customers, such Subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform other account processing activities if the
scope of the Servicer’s subcontract with such Subcontractor is subsequently expanded.

recognized overnight courier to the address as provided in this Section, be deemed given upon receipt, and (iii) if delivered by mail in the manner described above to the address as provided
in this Section, be deemed given upon receipt (in each case regardless of whether such notice, request or other communication is received by any other person to whom a copy of such notice, request or other communication is to be delivered pursuant
to this Section). Any party from time to time may change its address or other information for the purpose of notices to that party by giving notice specifying such change to the other party hereto. 

SECTION 12.2 Representatives. Each of the Bank and the Servicer will designate one or more persons to consult with the other
party to resolve day-to-day operating questions that arise in the performance of this Servicing Agreement and will notify the other party of the identity of the representatives so designated. The designation of such representatives may specify
reasonable limitations upon their authority, but each of the representatives will have the authority, on behalf of the party represented, to resolve questions arising under the Service Performance Measures. 

SECTION 12.3 Administrative Dispute Resolution. The parties will endeavor in good faith to achieve amicable resolution of all
disputes and disagreements arising hereunder, if any, with a view to the avoidance of litigation. Each party will continue to perform its respective obligations under the Agreement during this process. In the event that a question arises under this
Servicing Agreement the resolution of which is beyond the authority of one or both of the parties’ representatives or upon which the representatives cannot agree despite good faith consultation, the parties shall make diligent and prompt effort
to resolve the question through the intervention of senior officers with plenary authority to waive an interpretive stance taken by the party represented and/or, on behalf of such party, to negotiate and agree to any amendment to this Servicing
Agreement. Each party may rely on the representation of any officer of the other party of the rank of Vice President or higher (other than a representative appointed pursuant to Section 12.2) who asserts in writing that he or she is acting on
behalf of that party under the provisions of this Section 12.3. In aid of this Section, whenever reasonably requested by the other party, each party will provide a current list identifying its officers by name and title. Notwithstanding, where
irreparable harm to a party’s interest is imminent, either party may circumvent this time line and seek injunctive relief in a court of law. 

SECTION 12.4 Opportunity to Cure. In the event of a failure by the Servicer to comply with any provision of this Servicing
Agreement, no action may be commenced by the Bank to enforce such provision unless the Bank has first given written notice of such non-compliance to the Servicer in accordance with the notice provisions of this Servicing Agreement and has afforded
the Servicer an opportunity to cure as specified in this Section. If the failure to comply is a failure to make a required deposit, purchase a Loan, reimburse lost interest or Special Allowance payments, or otherwise expressly to pay money to or for
the Bank (a “Monetary Breach”), the Servicer shall be accorded a period of ten days after such notice to make the deposit, purchase the Loan, reimburse the interest or Special Allowance payment, or otherwise pay the money that is expressly
required to be paid. If the failure to comply is not a Monetary Breach, the Servicer shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time after such notice in order to remedy the failure. As used in the preceding sentence, the term “reasonable
period of time” means a period of time that is reasonable under the circumstances, taking into account the nature of the failure, the ease or difficulty of an appropriate remedy, and the harm likely to be suffered with the passage of time, but
in any event not less than thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days after such notice. If the failure asserted by the Bank is disputed by the Servicer, the parties will use such reasonable period of time to attempt to resolve
the dispute through the administrative dispute resolution procedure described in Section 12.3, above.

 SERVICING

 SECTION 3.1 General Obligations of the Servicer. The Servicer will service: (a) all Loans that were purchased by
the Holder from Sallie Mae Bank pursuant to the Acquisition and that were serviced by the Servicer or its Affiliate immediately prior to the Effective Date, and (b) such other Loans that the parties hereto mutually agree are to be serviced
hereunder. The Servicer, as agent for the Holder, shall maintain custody of the Loan Documentation; shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Loans; shall maintain records with respect to all Loans; and shall make reports as
specified in Attachment 3 hereto, except as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Holder. The Servicer shall (i) attempt to collect payments from the obligors of the Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable (including Returned
Check Charges, Late Fees, and Collection Costs, but the Servicer is authorized to waive such items in its discretion in accordance with applicable Lending Policies); (ii) take all other steps mandated by the applicable Program Rules in
connection with third-party servicing; (iii) process all deferrals and forbearances; (iv) collect on Loans in a diligent manner and also as required under the applicable Program Rules; and (v) perform fraud monitoring, investigation,
and reporting, including the preparation of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). 
 SECTION 3.2 Title to Loans. Neither custody
of Loans or Loan Documentation by the Servicer hereunder, nor the servicing activities contemplated hereby, shall be deemed to convey to the Servicer any of the Holder’s beneficial or legal ownership interest in the Loans. The Servicer
recognizes that the Holder has beneficial and legal ownership of the Loans, the Loan Documentation therefor, and the rights and benefits pertaining thereto. 

SECTION 3.3 Establishment and Authorization for Use of the Receipts Account. The Holder shall provide the Servicer with all
authorizations and information, and shall take all such further steps as may be necessary, in order to authorize and enable the Servicer to initiate the movement of funds to and from the Receipts Account by EFT. The Servicer shall not use its access
to the Receipts Account except for the purposes expressly authorized in this Servicing Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.4 Collections.
The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to collect, on behalf of the Holder, all payments with respect to any Loan from the Borrower, any party responsible for payments as a Cosigner of the Loan, and the school (refunds, voids). 

(a) Identified Funds: Deposit and Transfer. Not later than the first Payment Processing Day that any payment received from a third
party becomes Identified Funds, the Servicer will deposit the payment into the Depository Account. The Servicer will post the payment and initiate EFT transfer of Identified Funds to the Receipts Account within one Payment Processing Day after
deposit to the Depository Account; provided, however, that Servicer may withhold for their proper purpose amounts needed to offset previous overpayments to the Receipts Account and to effect any other adjustment reasonably deemed necessary by the
Servicer to resolve an account balance discrepancy, including, by way of example, but without limitation, (i) overpayments resulting from overestimated balances due to retire or consolidate Loans, (ii) payments mistakenly recognized as
Identified Funds, wholly or in part, (iii) overdue servicing fees and charges as authorized in Section 8.2, below, and (iv) Returned Check Charges, Late Fees and Collection Costs pursuant to subsection (c), below. Monies so withheld
may be transferred to the Refund Account or otherwise transferred to the proper party. 

  
 - 5 - 








 (b) Unidentified Funds: Processing. Payments received by the Servicer, which are not
readily identified as payments on account of a particular Loan because of the omission or absence of a scannable coupon or billing statement, or other reason, will be further processed manually. Payments that are ultimately recognized as payments on
account of a particular Loan become Identified Funds and will be posted and transferred in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a), above. 

(c) Charges to Borrower for Servicer’s Account. The Servicer is authorized to charge to and collect from any Borrower, for the
Servicer’s account, such reasonable sums as agreed to by the Holder and the Borrower in appropriate disclosures to compensate it for (i) activities that would not be necessary except for a special request made by the Borrower or conduct of
the Borrower inconsistent with the terms of the contract between the Holder and the Borrower (for example, but without limitation, Returned Check Charges, Late Fees, Collection Costs, and retrieval and transmittal to Borrower of Borrower’s
payment history or amortization schedule). To the extent of any Identified Funds attributable to a Loan, and from the first monies collected, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain Returned Check Charges and Collection Costs. Late Fees shall be
the property of the Holder. 
 SECTION 3.5 Inquiries, Complaints and Reports. The Servicer will respond promptly to any
inquiries and complaints from the Holder, the Borrower, or the Borrower’s school regarding Loans that the Servicer is servicing for the Holder. The Servicer will make available to the Holder on a periodic basis, as agreed to by the parties,
reports, data extracts, and data tapes substantially in the form prepared as of the date hereof (or as modified if necessary to comply with the Regulations, the applicable Program Rules or applicable law or as otherwise permitted by this Servicing
Agreement) by the Servicer and generated by the Servicer’s servicing system. 
 SECTION 3.6 Loan Acquisition. The Holder
may from time to time acquire portfolios of loans that it desires the Servicer to service on its behalf. If the Holder and the Servicer mutually agree upon a conversion plan (including the Servicer’s fees) for any such portfolio, the Holder may
transfer to the Servicer such portfolio for servicing hereunder. Such transferred portfolio of loans will become Loans subject to this Servicing Agreement upon conversion to the Servicer’s system. 

SECTION 3.7 Obligations of the Holder. 

(a) Forwarding Communications and Payments. If the Holder receives any communications regarding a Loan, it will promptly forward those
communications to the Servicer in the manner in which the Servicer reasonably designates. The Holder will also promptly forward to the Servicer any payments the Holder receives on account of a Loan. 

(b) Authorization and Power of Attorney. The Holder hereby authorizes the Servicer on behalf of the Holder to communicate as the
Holder’s agent with the school and the Borrower by electronic means or otherwise, to issue checks and electronically disburse funds as contemplated herein, to exchange information pursuant to Regulations and applicable law with credit bureau
organizations selected by the Servicer, and to do or perform any other act for the purpose of carrying out its obligations of servicing Loans. The Holder hereby appoints the

Servicer as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign in the name of the Holder such documents as are necessary for the Servicer to perform its obligations as contemplated under this Servicing
Agreement. Each party will provide to the other specimen authorized signatures upon request. The Holder will also execute a specific power-of-attorney covering the foregoing as the Servicer may reasonably request.

to complaints and inquiries concerning Applications and Loans.

 ARTICLE SEVEN 

TERM, TERMINATION, AND TRANSFER 

SECTION 7.1 Term. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 7.2, below, with respect to specific Loans, the term of this Servicing Agreement (the “Term”)
commences as of the Effective Date and continues in full force and effect for so long as any of the Loans remain outstanding, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. 

SECTION 7.2 Termination as to Specific Loans. This Servicing Agreement shall terminate as to a specific Loan upon
(i) write-off of such Loan pursuant to the policies described in Section 7.5 below, (ii) the payment in full of all principal and interest by or on behalf of the Borrower, (iii) the purchase or other acquisition of such Loan by
the Servicer or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iv) the sale of such Loan by the Holder in accordance with Section 11.3 below. Whether or not this Servicing Agreement is terminated with respect to specific Loans
pursuant to any of clauses (i) – (iv) above, it shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other Loans. 

SECTION 7.3 Procedures for Deconversion of Loans. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a proper notice of termination
of this Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Article Seven, Section 8.2, Section 9.2 or Section 10.5, a schedule and procedure for the orderly deconversion of Loans will be agreed to by the Servicer and the Holder. The parties will
cooperate with each other to resolve problems that arise during or as a result of the deconversion process. Except for deconversions of Loans pursuant to Section 9.2, below, the Holder shall pay the deconversion fees specified in Attachment 1
(and such deconversion fees will be payable, without limitation, upon any deconversion of the Loans that occurs upon the expiration of the Term of this Servicing Agreement). In addition, the Holder shall pay the removal fees specified in Attachment
1 with respect to other removals of Loans, as set forth in Attachment 1 (and described in Note 2 of Attachment 1). 
 SECTION 7.4
Agreement Extension. If, despite the reasonable efforts of the parties, deconversion (i.e., transfer or removal) cannot be completed by the effective date of termination, then, as to all Loans not removed, this Servicing Agreement will extend
automatically through the date upon which removal procedures are completed. Provided the Servicer has acted in good faith, if the failure to effect the removal of all such Loans continues for four months or more beyond the effective date of
termination, then in addition to any increases already provided for in Attachment 1, the fees payable by the Holder shall be increased by an amount equal to 10.0% of the fees that are then in effect, effective as of the end of such four-month
period. 
 SECTION 7.5 Policies Regarding Loan Balance Adjustments Through Write-Offs, Write-Downs, and Write-Ups. Except with
the prior consent of the Holder or as authorized herein, the Servicer shall not write off or write down any Loan balance. In the course of normal operations, and in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations, the applicable Program Rules,
and the same customs, policies, and procedures followed by the Servicer with respect to similar loans serviced by it on behalf of its Affiliates, as the same may be modified from time to time, the Servicer may systematically and routinely adjust
individual Loan accounts and Borrower accounts by writing off, writing down, or writing up balances deemed uncollectible or cost-ineffective to rectify.

 SECTION 7.6 Survival of Terms. Notwithstanding the termination of this Servicing
Agreement, the provisions of Article Three with respect to remission of payments belonging to the Holder will survive and continue in full force and effect. Any liabilities of either party to the other party incurred prior to termination of this
Servicing Agreement shall survive the termination of this Servicing Agreement. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 

COMPENSATION 
 SECTION
8.1 Compensation. The Holder will compensate the Servicer for its services in accordance with the schedule of fees set forth in Attachment 1 to this Servicing Agreement. Such fees listed in Attachment 1 may be subject to increase to the
extent that a demonstrable increase occurs in the cost incurred by the Servicer in providing the services to be provided hereunder due to changes in applicable governmental regulations or Program Rules or increases in U.S. Postal Service rates. 

SECTION 8.2 Time of Payment; Interest Accrual; Set-Off; Holder Default. Fees shall be invoiced monthly in arrears and shall be
paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. In any event, Servicer is required to provide not less than seven (7) days’ notice of a request for payment. If the bill is not paid when due, interest on the unpaid balance shall
accrue at the rate of the prime interest rate plus 5% per annum. If the bill (including accrued interest) is not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, the Servicer shall be entitled to a set-off against funds within
Servicer’s possession or control including, without limitation, funds representing payments collected on behalf of the Holder. If the bill (including accrued interest) is not paid by the Holder within forty-five (45) days of delivery to
the Holder of notice of nonpayment from the Servicer given in accordance with the notice provisions hereof, or immediately upon the occurrence of a Holder Insolvency Event (in such case, a “Holder Default”), the Servicer may terminate its
obligations hereunder, subject only to its duty to cooperate with the Holder pursuant to Article Seven. The Servicer shall not be liable to the Holder for any loss, cost, or expense suffered by the Holder and arising from the proper exercise of the
right of set-off herein granted or the proper termination of Servicer’s obligations because of a Holder Default. The Servicer’s remedies are intended to be cumulative and the exercise or failure to exercise any one such remedy on a

SECTION 8.3 Special Services. If special services are requested by the Holder, the Holder and the Servicer shall agree on
pricing in advance. The Holder shall reimburse the Servicer for all special services agreed to be performed by the Servicer in accordance with the applicable terms, if any, of Attachment 1 hereto. 

ARTICLE NINE 
 BREACH AND
DEFAULT 
 SECTION 9.1 Material Breach. For the purposes of this Servicing Agreement, a “Material Breach” is
(i) a failure by the Servicer to materially perform any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) a failure by a subservicer or subcontractor to materially comply with a servicing requirement set forth in this Servicing Agreement, and the
corresponding inability of 

  
 - 13 - 








 
the Servicer to comply on its own with such requirement or to force compliance by such subservicer or subcontractor. With respect to any Service Performance Measure, no breach of a Service
Performance Measure shall be deemed a Material Breach unless it is the sole proximate cause of a clearly demonstrable loss to the Holder in excess of $10,000.00 or is part of a persistent pattern of non-compliance with the Service Performance
Measures such that the Holder is deprived of the benefit of its bargain. The Servicer shall be afforded in all cases notice and the opportunity to cure as provided in Section 12.4 below. 

SECTION 9.2 Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 (a) a Material Breach by the Servicer that has not been cured in accordance with Section 12.4; or 

(b) a Servicer Insolvency Event; 
 then, so long
as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Holder may terminate this Servicing Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Servicer (or in the case of a Servicer Insolvency Event, immediately upon written notice)
and may initiate the transfer process pursuant to the applicable termination and transfer provisions of this Servicing Agreement. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 LIABILITY
AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 SECTION 10.1 Servicer’s Liability. The Servicer shall be liable to the Holder for any claim,
loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including any claim, loss, cost, damage, liability or expense that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Holder resulting from Servicer’s negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
breach of any obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant under this Servicing Agreement. Other than in the event of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance or bad faith, the Servicer’s liability under this Servicing Agreement shall be
limited to the lesser of (a) the total amount of the compensation theretofore paid to the Servicer under Article Eight of this Servicing Agreement or (b) $10 million. In no event shall the Servicer be liable to the Holder for
consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. 
 The Servicer shall not be liable to the Holder pursuant to this Section 10.1 or
otherwise for any loss or damage incurred by the Holder arising from any incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder, or for the failure of the Holder to comply with its obligations. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any
information or document of any kind reasonably believed by the Servicer to be properly executed and submitted by an authorized person respecting any matters arising under this Servicing Agreement. In addition, by way of further limitation, where the
exercise of discretion by the Servicer in order to carry out its duties is required or permitted hereunder, the Servicer shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in the good faith exercise of such discretion. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action where it is not named as a party; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereunder. 

  
 - 14 - 








 SECTION 10.2 Indemnification by Servicer. The Servicer, after notice and
opportunity to cure as provided in Section 12.4, below, will indemnify and hold the Holder harmless from any claim, loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that results from (i) any material failure of the
Servicer to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the failure of any warranty given or representation made by the Servicer in this Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 10.3 Indemnification by Holder. The Holder will indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from any loss, cost, or expense
suffered or incurred by the Servicer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that results from (i) any action of the Servicer authorized by this Servicing Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Holder, (ii) any material failure of
the Holder to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, or (iii) the failure of any warranty given or representation made by the Holder in this Servicing Agreement. In particular, but without limitation, to the extent that the Servicer
is required pursuant to Section 10.1 to appear in or is made a defendant in any legal action or other proceeding relating to the servicing of the Loans, the Holder shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from all cost, liability or
expense of the Servicer (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) not arising out of or relating to the failure of the Servicer to comply with the terms of this Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 10.4 Certain Rights of the Indemnifying Party. A party with the responsibility to indemnify hereunder (an
“Indemnifying Party”) shall control the defense or settlement of any third-party claim. The other party (the “Indemnified Party”) may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any third-party claim to be
indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation, except as set forth in the following sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a third party claim if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to appear in or to defend such claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the
Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses in connection with such defense or settlement or (ii) the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity with respect to such third-party claim. 

SECTION 10.5 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by a force
not reasonably within the control of that party (including acts of God, acts of war, riots, insurrections, illegality of performance, strikes or other industrial disturbances, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other disasters) to satisfy
its obligations under this Servicing Agreement, such party shall not be deemed to have breached any such obligation upon delivery of written notice of such event to the other party hereto, for so long as such party remains unable to perform such
obligation as a result of such event. If either party is unable to materially perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement and its performance is excused pursuant to this paragraph for a period of at least thirty (30) days, the other
party may terminate this Servicing Agreement upon at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice.

 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS 

SECTION 11.1 General Rule. Except as provided in this Article Eleven, no party may assign its rights or delegate its duties
under this Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such purported assignment shall be void and without effect. 

SECTION 11.2 Mergers and Reorganizations. Each party agrees that upon (a) any merger or consolidation of such party into
another person or entity, (b) any merger or consolidation to which such party is a party that results in the creation of another person or entity, or (c) any person or entity succeeding to the properties and assets of such party
substantially as a whole, such party shall cause such person or entity (if other than such party) to execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of such party hereunder. 

SECTION 11.3 Sale of Loans. In the event that during the Term of this Servicing Agreement, as the same may be extended, the
Holder proposes to sell any Loans serviced hereunder, the Holder shall provide to the Servicer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the proposed sale, including the name of the proposed purchaser, the name of the responsible
contact at the proposed purchaser, and the date of the proposed sale. 
 Any such sale shall be subject to: 

 

	 	(i)	the purchaser’s having a servicing agreement with the Servicer covering the type of Loan being sold, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Servicer’s approval of the financial condition of the purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 


The Holder must pay, or cause such purchaser to pay, to Servicer a reasonable transfer fee in connection with such sale, as set forth in Attachment 1 hereto.
The Holder shall indemnify the Servicer and hold the Servicer harmless from any loss, cost, or expense arising from the sale of Loans serviced hereunder and from any claim by the purchaser or purchaser’s successors and assigns in conflict with
the Servicer’s right hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.4 Subcontracts; Assignment to Servicer’s Legal Successor. The Servicer
has the right to employ subcontractors to perform activities associated with or in support of the services provided hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Servicing Agreement that requires Servicer to perform any particular service for the
Holder, or to comply with any particular Service Performance Measures, or to perform any other obligation hereunder, or to accept liability for any aspect of servicing such Loans, if servicing of the applicable Loans is performed by any subservicer
or subcontractor pursuant to a subservicing agreement or subcontracting agreement and the subservicing agreement or subcontracting agreement does not require the subservicer or subcontractor to comply with the particular Service Performance Measures
set forth in this Servicing Agreement, or to perform any one or more of the other obligations hereunder with respect to such Loans, then if the Servicer is unable to force compliance by such subservicer or subcontractor with the requirements set
forth in this Servicing Agreement, the Holder’s remedy shall be limited to treating the failure as a Material Breach under Section 9.1. Except to the extent set forth earlier in this Section 11.4, the Servicer shall remain fully
obligated hereunder for the performance by any subcontractor of services hereunder. The Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any legal successor of the Servicer. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Servicer
shall provide 

  
 - 16 - 








 
information regarding the name and qualifications of any significant subcontractor. With respect to all such subcontracts entered into after the Effective Date of this Servicing Agreement, the
Servicer will obtain the prior approval of the Holder of any offshore entity that is to serve as a subcontractor if such entity is to have access to the non-public personal information of the Holder’s customers, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if the Holder approves such an offshore subcontractor for the purposes of this Section 11.4 for a specific service, such subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform other
services that are reasonably defined as being within the same category of services. For example, if a subcontractor is approved to perform in-bound call center activity where the subcontractor will have access to the non-public personal information
of the Holder’s customers, such subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform outbound call center activity if the scope of the Servicer’s subcontract with such subcontractor is subsequently expanded. Similarly, if a subcontractor is
approved to perform specific account processing activities where the subcontractor will have access to the non-public personal information of the Holder’s customers, such subcontractor shall be deemed approved to perform other account
processing activities if the scope of the Servicer’s subcontract with such subcontractor is subsequently expanded.

Attention: Legal Department 
 All such notices,
requests and other communications shall (i) if delivered personally to the address as provided in this Section, be deemed given upon delivery, (ii) if delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier to the address as provided in this
Section, be deemed given upon receipt, and (iii) if delivered by mail in the manner described above to the address as provided in this Section, be deemed given upon receipt (in each case regardless of whether such notice, request or other
communication is received by any other person to whom a copy of such notice, request or other communication is to be delivered pursuant to this Section). Any party from time to time may change its address or other information for the purpose of
notices to that party by giving notice specifying such change to the other party hereto. 
 SECTION 12.2 Representatives. Each
of the Holder and the Servicer will designate one or more persons to consult with the other party to resolve day-to-day operating questions that arise in the performance of this Servicing Agreement and will notify the other party of the identity of
the representatives so designated. The designation of such representatives may specify reasonable limitations upon their authority, but each of the representatives will have the authority, on behalf of the party represented, to resolve questions
arising under the Service Performance Measures. 
 SECTION 12.3 Administrative Dispute Resolution. The parties will endeavor
in good faith to achieve amicable resolution of all disputes and disagreements arising hereunder, if any, with a view to the avoidance of litigation. In the event that a question arises under this Servicing Agreement the resolution of which is
beyond the authority of one or both of the parties’ representatives designated under Section 12.2 or upon which such representatives cannot agree despite good faith consultation, the parties shall make diligent and prompt effort to resolve
the question through the intervention of senior officers with plenary authority to waive an interpretive stance taken by the party represented and/or, on behalf of such party, to negotiate and agree to any amendment to this Servicing Agreement. Each
party may rely on the representation of any officer of the other party of the rank of Vice President or higher (other than a representative appointed pursuant to Section 12.2) who asserts in writing that he or she is acting on behalf of that
party under the provisions of this Section 12.3. In aid of this Section 12.3, whenever reasonably requested by the other party, each party will provide a current list identifying its officers by name and title. 

SECTION 12.4 Opportunity to Cure. In the event of a failure by the Servicer to comply with any provision of this Servicing
Agreement, no action may be commenced by the Holder to enforce such provision unless the Holder has first given written notice of such non-compliance to the Servicer in accordance with the notice provisions of this Servicing Agreement and has
afforded the Servicer an opportunity to cure as specified in this Section 12.4. If the failure to comply is a failure to make a required deposit or otherwise expressly to pay money to or for the Holder (a “Monetary Breach”), the
Servicer shall be accorded a period of ten (10) days after such notice to make the deposit or otherwise pay the money that is expressly required to be paid. If the failure to comply is not a Monetary Breach, the Servicer shall be entitled to a
reasonable period of time after such notice in order to remedy the failure. As used in the preceding sentence, the term “reasonable period of time” means a period of time that is reasonable under


  
 - 18 - 








 
the circumstances, taking into account the nature of the failure, the ease or difficulty of an appropriate remedy, and the harm likely to be suffered with the passage of time, but in any event
not less than thirty (30) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such notice. If the failure asserted by the Holder is disputed by the Servicer, the parties will use such reasonable period of time to attempt to resolve
the dispute through the administrative dispute resolution procedure described in Section 12.3, above.
