4. Responsibilities of CFS:

      CFS will act as marketing agent for Lender with respect to marketing
      Private Consolidation Loans. As the marketing agent, CFS will receive
      Applications and Promissory Notes from Borrowers, review the
      documentation, collect all information required to complete the
      Application, and perform data entry of certain information required to
      convert the completed Application to the Servicer's system. CFS will send
      Promissory Note forms to Borrowers for signature within 1 Business Day of
      securing complete application information from Borrowers. CFS will be
      responsible for insuring that each Application/Note submitted for a
      Private Consolidation Loan is eligible in all respects to be consolidated.
      CFS and the Lender hereby agree that the Servicer and the Lender may rely
      fully upon CFS's certification of eligibility with respect to all actions
      required of any party, other than actions required of Servicer or the
      Lender under this Agreement, prior to consolidation. Without limiting the
      foregoing, CFS shall:

      A.    Perform a credit review of each prospective Borrower in accordance
            with the underwriting criteria and procedures set forth in the
            Regulations. CFS shall retain the FICO-score information, and any
            applicable credit override information, for each prospective
            Borrower with the Loan-level records supporting the Loan and shall
            ensure that the FICO-score and applicable credit override
            information is clearly and conspicuously identified to the Servicer
            when the Loan data is initially transmitted to the Servicer for
            conversion to the Servicer's Loan disbursement system. CFS shall, at
            times and in the forms required under Applicable Law, send adverse
            action letters or notices of incompleteness to applicants of all
            rejected, denied, or withdrawn Applications. CFS shall retain copies
            of all Applications, letters or notices, and all other Borrower File
            records, related to rejected, denied or withdrawn Applications for
            time periods required under, and in formats permitted under,
            Applicable Law.

      B.    Perform data entry of all information required of Servicer and
            Lender to secure required approvals from TERI of the Loan, and to
            transfer such information to Servicer on or before 9:00 a.m. on the
            business day CFS desires disbursement of the Loan. Each such
            transfer of data will constitute certification to Lender by CFS that
            (i) it has complied with its obligations under this Agreement with
            respect to each Loan for which such file is transmitted to Servicer,
            and (ii) each Loan included in the file transmission complies in all
            respects with Applicable Law and the Regulations and is eligible to
            be originated and funded by Lender and guaranteed by TERI.

      C.    Ensure that each Borrower File contains the items described in
            Section 3 F. 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8, and that the Application/Note meets
            all requirements for eligibility for consolidation under the
            Regulations. CFS shall promptly capture and retain a copy of each
            original Application and Promissory Note, any original addenda
            thereto, and all other Borrower loan documents, obtained or received
            by CFS in accordance with this Section 4; it being understood,
            however, that any Borrower loan documents received solely via
            electronic transmission or generated by CFS's system shall either be
            imaged or stored in a manner that permits the documents to

<PAGE>



            be promptly and accurately reproduced. All such document copies
            shall be retained in a secure fire-resistant facility by CFS until
            five (5) years after the date the corresponding Borrower File has
            been transferred to the Servicer.

      D.    Ensure accuracy and completeness of any electronically transmitted
            data, and send by overnight courier to the Servicer on or before the
            last business day of each week for delivery by 10:30 a.m. on the
            first business day of the following week, corresponding Borrower
            File folders for each Loan funded electronically during such week.

      E.    Provide any missing documentation or information or correct any
            document error or deficiency within 30 days of receiving notice of
            the same from Servicer or the Lender pursuant to Section 6.D.
            hereinbelow. If any such document deficiency is not corrected to the
            satisfaction of Lender (as communicated by Lender or its Servicer)
            or TERI within such time period, CFS shall upon notice from Lender
            or TERI (which such notice shall identify how such deficiency
            creates or will lead to an adverse Guaranty consequence under the
            Regulations) thereafter pay an amount equal to -1/2% of the
            outstanding principal of the affected Loan(s) into a First Union
            designated escrow account as further set forth in Exhibit B attached
            hereto.

      F.    Maintain all license and other governmental approvals and otherwise
            comply with Applicable Law and the Regulations with respect to all
            of its activities and obligations hereunder (including without
            limitation obtaining and completing Applications, handling denied,
            incomplete or withdrawn Applications, and dealing otherwise with
            applicants.

      G.    Act as custodian and bailee for the Lender with respect to all
            original documents for Loans until all such documents are
            transferred to Servicer, and with respect to copies of Borrower File
            records in accordance with Section 4(C) hereof. As bailee and
            custodian, CFS shall maintain custody, control and safekeeping of
            such documents and such documents shall be under the sole dominion
            and control of Lender. CFS shall deal with such documents only as
            this Agreement requires and as Lender otherwise instructs in
            writing.

      H.    Pay to the Lender all of the principal balance (including
            capitalized interest), outstanding unpaid interest and fees paid
            with respect to any Loan upon the occurrence of any of the following
            events:

            (i)   Lender determines in good faith that a claim may not be filed
                  on the Loan; or

            (ii)  the Borrower refuses to pay the Loan by claiming a legal
                  defense and Lender determines in good faith that there is
                  reasonable doubt that the Loan is legally enforceable; or

            (iii) TERI determines that any Loan is not or will not be entitled
                  in whole or in part to the benefits of the Guarantee or
                  refuses to honor all or part of a claim filed with respect to
                  a Loan

<PAGE>



      provided that such event is a result of (i) CFS's breach of any of its
      obligations, representations, warranties, or certifications under this
      Agreement, or the inaccuracy or incorrectness of any such representation,
      warranty or certification, or (ii) CFS's action, or failure to act when
      CFS is aware of a fact, circumstance, event, or condition giving rise to
      such event and could have reasonably acted to avert or mitigate a loss to
      Lender, or (iii) any lack of documentation or incomplete documentation
      which made the Loan ineligible at the time it was made. CFS's
      reimbursement obligation under this paragraph is unconditional and not
      subject to offset, counterclaim, or recoupment. All reimbursement payments
      shall be made in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days
      upon conclusion of the process described in Section 8.A.1, and shall be in
      an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount (including capitalized
      interest) and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans repurchased,
      fees paid (including without limitation all fees paid by Lender to TERI
      attributable to the related Loans and the loan origination fee paid to
      Servicer for disbursing the Loan). Upon such reimbursement payment, all of
      Lender's right, title and interest in such Loan, including the related
      Borrower File and all principal and interest received after the
      reimbursement date with respect to such Loans, shall be assigned to CFS
      and Lender shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to CFS or CFS's
      designated agent the related Borrower File endorsed to the order of CFS or
      its designee without recourse or warranty of any kind.

      I.    CFS agrees that with respect to all Applications processed by CFS on
            Lender's behalf on or after June 12, 2001, it will provide to such
            applicants a copy of Lender's customer information privacy and
            opt-out policies and practices notice ("Lender Privacy Notice") that
            is required under the Joint Banking Agencies' regulations
            implementing Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Public Law
            106-102 (the "GLB Requirements"). Each time CFS mails a Promissory
            Note to a Borrower for signature by the Borrower, CFS shall include
            such Lender Privacy Notice as an insert along with such mailing, or
            alternatively at CFS's option, CFS may send the Lender Privacy
            Notice to each Borrower as a separate mailing at any other time
            prior to the date the Borrower signs the applicable Promissory Note.
            CFS will give Lender no less than 21 days advance written notice in
            the event CFS changes its process for sending such Notices from one
            of the foregoing alternatives to the other alternative. Beginning no
            later than July 1, 2001, for all Borrowers who indicate Lender as
            the desired lender, any on-line Loan application service offered by
            CFS shall provide a copy of Lender's Privacy Notice within such
            on-line Loan application service. Each such on-line application by
            any Borrower who indicates Lender as the desired lender and agrees
            to receive Lender's Privacy Notice electronically, shall require the
            applicant to acknowledge receipt of a copy of such Privacy Notice as
            a necessary step in the completion of such on-line application. If
            the applicant does not consent to receive the privacy notice
            electronically, then Lender's Privacy Notice will be sent to such
            applicant by mail in accordance with the provisions earlier set
            forth in this Section 4(I); provided, however, that if the applicant
            electronically signs the Promissory Note as part of the on-line
            session, the Lender's Privacy Notice will be mailed to such
            applicant before the Borrower's Loan file data is electronically
            transmitted to Servicer by CFS. CFS's delivery of Lender's Privacy
            Notice shall comply with all requirements, including without
            limitation

<PAGE>



            consumer consent provisions and delivery provisions, under the GLB
            Requirements and other federal and state consumer privacy laws and
            regulations. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement
            notwithstanding, CFS shall at all times comply with, and cause its
            agents and permitted subcontractors to comply with, all re-use,
            redisclosure or other customer information handling, processing and
            protection requirements under the GLB Requirements and other federal
            and state laws and regulations affecting the privacy of consumer
            information. CFS shall immediately forward to Lender any Borrower
            communication received by CFS indicating the Borrower's election to
            opt-out of the sharing of Borrower information by or among Lender,
            its affiliates, agents and subcontractors (including CFS).

      J.    CFS shall ensure that each time an Application and Promissory Note
            are provided to a prospective Borrower for signature, additional
            information specified under 12 C.F.R. Section 226.17(g) is provided
            to the Borrower so that the disclosure required under the Truth In
            Lending Act (and Regulation Z) for any Loan made to the Borrower can
            be provided in full compliance with the delivery-timing requirements
            under 12 C.F.R.Section 226.17(g). CFS shall ensure that the
            disclosure of such additional information to prospective Borrowers
            also complies with the advertising rules contained in 12 C.F.R.
            Section 226.24, all other provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act and
            Regulation Z, and with all other Applicable Law.

5. Responsibilities of the Lender:

      A.    Lender will perform the duties and adhere to the responsibilities
            outlined in this Agreement. Lender shall, absent evidence of fraud,

            provide daily funding for all Loans certified by CFS under this
            Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not at any
            time have any responsibility or duty to undertake any investigation
            or examination of CFS' activities under this Agreement and Lender
            shall, as to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the
            sufficiency or validity of any Loan or any document contained in the

            CFS.

      B.    All Loans funded by Lender or its affiliates under the RWPCL Program
            and all receivables related thereto, and all Loan documents (in
            whatever form) received by or on behalf of Lender under this
            Agreement or in connection with a Loan, shall be owned solely by
            Lender or its Affiliates. Lender and its Affiliates shall have full
            and unfettered rights in and to the Loans and the receivables relate
            thereto, and the Loan documents, including, without limitation, the
            right to administer, service, collect, sell, transfer, securitize or
            otherwise dispose in any manner the Loans and receivables related
            thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement nor any action taken
            under this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to (i) give CFS or
            its Affiliates any right, title or interest, either in law or in
            equity, in and to any Loan made or administered by Lender or its
            Affiliates (or the receivables or Loan documents related to such
            Loans) or make CFS or its Affiliates a loan production office or a
            holder or originator of any such Loan, or

<PAGE>



            (ii) give CFS or its Affiliates any right whatsoever to control the
            content and presentation of the underlying Loan documents.

6. Responsibilities of the Servicer:

      Any Servicer retained by Lender to service Loans funded under this
      Agreement from time-to-time shall:

      A.    Promptly upon receipt of the electronic or paper data for a Loan CFS
            provides under Section 4.A., perform the actions necessary to
            prepare such Loans for loading to the Servicer's system and
            authorize disbursement by the Lender. The funding authorization
            shall be in a form acceptable to the Lender and will be faxed by the
            Servicer to the Lender (with the original to be forwarded later) at
            least 60 minutes prior to the latest time the Lender may initiate
            its electronic funding transaction, provided that:

        (1) The data provided electronically by CFS contains no errors or
            problems which cause undue or unexpected delays;

        (2) CFS has given Servicer and Lender sufficient prior notice of new
            payees to whom funds must be disbursed;

        (3) CFS has given at least two days notice of any significant increase
            in either the number of Loans or the number of disbursements to be
            processed or of any other special circumstance that could cause
            delay.

      B.    The Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt of each file, undertake
            its obligation with respect to such files and begin reviewing the
            file for each Loan to confirm the following:

        (1) Payoff Request Form(s) ("PRF(s)") is present and signed by a
            representative of the owner of the Loans being consolidated, or by
            any agent representing the owner and authorized to execute the LPF
            on behalf of the owner.

        (2) Application/Promissory Note is present and signed by the Borrower.
            The Servicer shall have no obligation to verify that the signature
            on the Application/Promissory Note is the actual signature of the
            Borrower.

        (3) The Borrower File received from CFS contains the items described in
            Section 3(F)(1), (2), (6) and (7).

      C.    Servicer shall, upon funding, convert the Loans to its servicing
            system and commence repayment servicing in accordance with any
            servicing agreement between Servicer and the Lender.

      D.    Servicer shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of each
            Borrower File, submit an exceptions list to CFS and Lender
            identifying those items required to be

<PAGE>



            in the Borrower File (i.e., Section 3(F)(1), (2), (6) and (7) that
            were not contained in the File received by Servicer.

      E.    Servicer shall immediately inform the Lender and CFS in writing of
            any Loan determined by TERI to be uninsured as a result of (i)
            actions or failure to act by CFS or any other party, or (ii) any
            breach or inaccuracy with respect to any representation, warranty or
            certification given by CFS in connection with this Agreement.

      F.    Lender shall cause Servicer's obligations under this Section 6 to be
            added to any servicing agreement and custodian agreement between the
            Servicer and the Lender. This Agreement shall in no way limit
            Servicer's obligations under any servicing agreement or custody
            agreement.

      G.    Servicer shall add new payees to its system as identified and
            requested in writing (including facsimile and e-mail to locations
            identified by Servicer) by CFS. Servicer will add up to 15 new
            payees within 1 Business Day of receiving a written request from
            CFS. To the extent CFS requests more than 15 payees in a single
            Business Day, such additional payees will be added within 5 Business
            Days.

7. Insurance:

      CFS shall obtain and maintain in force until all Loans that Lender funds
      hereunder are repaid in full or paid as a claim by TERI, and upon the
      request of the Lender furnish proof of, errors and omissions and liability
      insurance policies acceptable to the Lender providing coverage (with no
      per occurrence minimum and not more than $10,000 deductible), with respect
      to claims by Lender , arising from CFS's failure to perform any of its
      responsibilities under, or from CFS's breach of its representations,
      warranties or certifications made in, this Agreement, each in an amount of
      at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate and per occurrence. Each such policy
      shall be maintained with an insurer rated not lower than A by A.M. Best
      Co., and shall provide that the policy cannot be canceled or modified
      without at least 60 days written notice to Lender and Servicer. The policy
      shall not be amended or modified in any manner which limits, restricts, or
      conditions the coverage provided, decreases the amount of coverage or
      increases the deductible, or in any other way reduces the coverage
      provided, without the prior written consent of Lender and Servicer.

8. Reimbursement Procedure:

      A.    If the Lender believes that CFS is obligated to reimburse it for any
            Loan pursuant to Section 4.H. hereof, the Lender shall:

        (1) Notify CFS in writing of the reason it believes CFS is obligated to
            reimburse it and CFS shall issue a reimbursement payment in
            accordance with Section 4.H; provided, however, that CFS shall have
            60 days after receipt of such notice to (i) deliver written notice
            to Lender of CFS's dispute, if any, with respect to said claim
            detailing CFS's good faith reasonable basis for believing it is not
            obligated

<PAGE>


            to reimburse Lender for the affected Loan(s) under the terms of this
            Agreement, or (ii) cure to the Lender's satisfaction the cause of
            CFS' obligation, if any, to reimburse Lender for such Loan. The
            parties shall negotiate in good faith to promptly resolve any such
            dispute raised by CFS in accordance with this Section 8(A)(1)(i).

        (2) In the case of notice from Servicer, Servicer shall notify the
            Lender, in writing, of the reason it believes CFS is obligated to
            reimburse Lender and follow Lender's instructions with respect to
            the Loan, any extension of the cure period or other actions
            determined to be appropriate by the Lender.

      B.    During the Term, CFS will provide a report within ten (10) days of
            the end of each month that indicates for the preceding month the
            total number and dollar amount of loans on which CFS has made a
            reimbursement payment to any and all lenders participating in the
            RWPCL Program (specific lenders and reimbursements by lender will
            not be identified).

9. Loan Size:

      Borrowers must have Loan indebtedness of at least [****]. CFS intends to
      maintain an average application size of [****] that the Lender will review
      quarterly. The Application Fee described in Section 12 below shall be
      adjusted as provided for in Exhibit C attached hereto.

      Lender will track the volume of Applications which, 6 months after
      receipt, have a principal balance of [****] or less. In the event these
      Applications constitute more than [****] of all Applications received, the
      Lender reserves the right to renegotiate the Application Fee. In the event
      Lender elects to renegotiate the Application Fee under this Section 9,
      Lender shall send written notice to CFS of the same and thereafter both
      parties shall undertake good faith efforts to adjust such Fee to their
      mutual satisfaction. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon an
      adjusted Fee within 60 days of Lender's notice to CFS, Lender may
      terminate the Agreement at any time thereafter upon notice to CFS.

10. Funding:

      The Lender agrees to fund [****] beginning June 12, 2001, subject to
      Section 5(A).

11. Borrower Benefits:

      The parties acknowledge and agree that the RWPCL Program does not and will
      not offer, provide, or otherwise make available any borrower benefits
      programs of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation
      interest rate reductions, fee reduction(s), rebate or credit of any
      amount(s), or other incentives with respect to the Borrower's Loan(s),
      unless and until the parties hereafter amend this Agreement to provide for
      such borrower benefit programs.

<PAGE>

12. Application Fee:

      The Lender agrees to pay an application fee as set forth in Exhibit C for
      each successfully completed application. "Successfully completed
      application" means an application for a Private Consolidation Loan from an
      eligible borrower in which CFS and Lender have all of the required
      documentation to make the Loan, regardless of whether it is actually made
      or not.

13. Marketing:

      A.    Marketing the RWPCL Program is the sole and exclusive responsibility
            of CFS, subject to the following conditions. The Lender and Servicer
            will not produce any of the marketing materials developed, nor will
            their names, service marks, trademarks or logos be used in any
            promotions without their prior written consent.

      B.    The Lender hereby gives CFS, limited, non-exclusive,
            non-transferable, royalty-free permission, during the term of this
            Agreement (including any extensions and renewals hereof), to use the
            Lender's name and/or the name and/or logo of Lender's Educaid
            affiliate on marketing and promotional materials related to the
            RWPCL Program (the "Marketing Materials"). Lender shall not enter
            into any new business relationships with any entity in which it may
            add or acquire any new marketing agents to market Eligible Loans as
            defined in Section 2 hereinabove. As of the execution date hereof,
            Lender is the sole funding source for RWPCL Loans. In the event CFS
            enters into a new business relationship during the term of this
            Agreement in which it may add or acquire any other lender to fund
            RWPCL Loans, Lender shall at all times thereafter, subject to the
            terms and conditions of this Agreement, be given full opportunity to
            fund no less than [****] of all RWPCL Loans originated after the
            date any such additional lender relationship is established
            (measured by the total number of RWPCL Loans originated by CFS, not
            the aggregate loan amount)

      C.    Lender and CFS shall agree with each other as to the form and
            substance of any press release relating to this Agreement and any
            press release about the RWPCL Program referencing or identifying the
            Lender, and consult with each other as to the form and substance of
            other public disclosures related to Lender's participation in the
            RWPCL Program; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
            Agreement shall prohibit any party from making any disclosure which
            its legal counsel reasonably deems necessary to comply with
            Applicable Law.

      D.    In performing its marketing services under this Agreement, CFS shall
            at all times comply with Applicable Laws, the Regulations, and
            Direct Marketing Association (DMA) guidelines and all DMA and State
            "do not solicit" marketing lists (whether covering telemarketing or
            direct mail marketing). CFS shall not attempt further phone calls or
            send additional mailings to, or in any way contact, individuals who
            request of CFS that no future phone calls, mailings, or contacts be
            made to such individuals.

<PAGE>

      E.    CFS agrees not to market RWPCL Loans for funding by Lender to any
            individual who (i) is a consumer or customer of Lender or any of its
            Affiliates, (ii) CFS may not market to under Applicable Law, and
            (iii) identified by Lender to CFS. Whenever Lender provides CFS with
            a report listing such individuals, CFS shall promptly and accurately
            match such list against any file, database, or list of
            consumers/customers maintained or used by CFS to promote the RWPCL
            Program. CFS shall not market RWPCL Loans for funding by Lender to
            individuals identified in such data-matching process. Furthermore,
            CFS agrees that it will not in any way market, advertise or promote
            education finance products of any type or from any source to
            Borrowers with applications submitted for processing under this
            Agreement without Lender's prior written consent, which Lender shall
            not unreasonably withhold.

      F.    CFS shall at all times accurately represent the RWPCL Program. CFS
            specifically understands and agrees that Lender's goodwill and
            reputation relies on responsible promotion of education loans and
            services to consumers who meet the eligibility requirements for such
            loans and services. CFS shall not at any time promote, nor at any
            time cause, suffer or permit its agents or Affiliates to promote,
            the RWPCL Program to Borrowers in any way which would disparage
            Lender or Lender's Affiliates, be injurious to the reputation of
            Lender or Lender's Affiliates, or cause Lender or Lender's
            Affiliates to lose goodwill.

14. Regulatory Changes:

      Lender may, in direct and demonstrable response to changes to Applicable
      Law that (i) are directly binding on Lender or Loans made and held by
      Lender, and (ii) which prevent the Lender from realizing sufficient profit
      from the RWPCL Program, withdraw from the Program with 120 days prior
      written notice to CFS. If legal or regulatory changes prohibit, limit or
      alter the compensation provisions for the services rendered by CFS to
      Lender, either party shall have the option to negotiate an amendment to
      the Agreement or withdraw from the Program with 120 days prior notice to
      the other party. Lender shall have no obligation to fund Loans after the
      date of any of the foregoing notices, except that during such 120 day
      notice period Lender shall, subject to and in accordance with this
      Agreement, fund Loans for which CFS has secured complete application
      information and has mailed related application forms to Borrowers for
      signature prior to the date of any such notice.

15. Reports:

      CFS will provide to Lender prior to the end of each calendar quarter, a
      forecast of projected Application volume to be delivered to Lender under
      this Agreement. This report will forecast monthly Application volume
      (principal dollars and number of borrowers) for each of the twelve (12)
      months following the end of the quarter in which the forecast is
      submitted, with projected Application closings for each month in each
      reporting period.

<PAGE>

16. Invoicing:

      CFS shall invoice each Friday for all loans processed during that week,
      and each invoice shall provide sufficient detail to permit Lender to
      verify the bill at the Borrower level and further include the total amount
      funded by Lender each week, sorted by the FICO score group. Lender agrees
      to execute a wire transfer of funds for all invoices, except as to amounts
      which are under good faith dispute, within three business days of receipt
      of invoice.

17. Expenses:

      Other than the expenses described in this Agreement, all parties agree to
      be responsible for their respective expenses under the RWPCL Program. CFS
      shall be responsible for the cost of all marketing materials, data entry,
      sales and related expenses incurred with respect to its marketing
      activities; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require CFS to
      print and/or bear the cost of printing any statutorily required consumer
      notices sent on Lender's behalf such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley privacy
      opt-out notice (but excluding Truth-in-Lending information required to be
      provided by CFS as described in Section 4J hereof); and provided further,
      however, that if the inclusion of Lender's Gramm-Leach-Bliley privacy
      practices and opt-out notice, or any other consumer notice that Lender
      becomes statutorily obligated to send after the execution date hereof, in
      the loan application package mailed by CFS to Loan Applicants necessitates
      a higher postal rate for mailing of such package to Borrower than the
      postal rate that would have been payable had Lender's Privacy Notice (or
      other statutory notice) not been included in such mailing, then Lender
      shall pay the differential in such postal rate.

18. Confidentiality:

      A.    This Agreement is considered confidential by all parties hereto and
            must not be copied or disclosed to anyone other than employees of
            the parties directly involved in the RWPCL Program or such
            accountants, attorneys, or other professional advisors or government
            agencies having jurisdiction over such parties without the written
            consent of the other parties, except as otherwise required by law.

      B.    All data, information, records, correspondence, reports or other
            documentation relating to and identified with prospective, existing
            or former Borrowers of Loans under this Agreement, contained or
            reflected in Loan forms (including without limitation the
            application and/or promissory note), RWPCL Program forms, or
            otherwise obtained, received, prepared, generated or maintained by
            CFS in connection with this Agreement or necessary to complete,
            process, fund service, or otherwise administer a RWPCL Program Loan,
            is and shall remain the confidential information and property of
            Lender, regardless of whether it is initially received or obtained
            by CFS from or at the direction of Lender, the Borrower, or any
            lender of any loan underlying the Borrower's Loan, or prepared and
            maintained by CFS in the course of any of its activities under this
            Agreement (individually or collectively referred to hereinafter as
            "Lender Proprietary

<PAGE>

            Information"). Lender Proprietary Information (i) includes any
            customer list provided by Lender to CFS in connection with Section
            13(E), and (ii) excludes information contained in marketing lists
            purchased by CFS or information obtained by CFS other than in
            connection with the RWPCL Program. CFS shall hold all Lender
            Proprietary Information in strictest confidence and not release or
            divulge such Information to any party other than the Lender and
            Lender's Affiliates without Lender's prior written consent, except
            (i) as provided in Section 18(A), (ii) to such other parties as
            Lender directs in writing, and (iii) as otherwise explicitly set
            forth in this Agreement. CFS understands and agrees that it shall
            only use Lender Proprietary Information to perform its duties under
            this Agreement and that CFS shall not directly or indirectly use, or
            suffer, permit or cause to be used, any such Information for any
            other purpose whatsoever. In the event that CFS becomes legally
            compelled to disclose any of the Lender Proprietary Information to
            entities not described in the third sentence of this Section 18(B),
            CFS shall provide Lender with prompt notice before such Information
            is disclosed so that Lender may seek, before such disclosure is
            made, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive
            compliance with this Section 18(B). In the event that such
            protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Lender
            waives compliance with this Section 18(B), CFS shall furnish only
            that portion of the Lender Proprietary Information which it is
            advised by counsel is legally required and, if requested by Lender
            at its sole expense, CFS shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain
            a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential
            treatment will be accorded to such Information.

19. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of CFS:

      CFS represents, warrants, and covenants each of the following to the
      Lender on the date of this Agreement, on the date of each request for
      Lender to originate and fund any Loan and on the date of Lender's funding
      of any Loan (which such representations, warranties and covenants shall
      survive any termination of this Agreement):

            under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized; (ii) is
            duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a
            foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction where the

            qualifications and good standing; (iii) possesses all requisite
            authority, permits and power to conduct its business as is now
            being, or is contemplated by this Agreement to be, conducted; and

            obligations under this Agreement.

      B.    The execution and delivery by CFS of this Agreement and the

            all necessary company action; (iii) except for any action or filing

            enforceable against CFS according to its terms.

      D.    CFS is not subject to, or aware of the threat of, any litigation
            that is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to it and that,
            if so adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on
            its financial condition and no outstanding or unpaid judgments
            against CFS exist.

      E.    All tax returns of CFS required to be filed have been filed (or
            extensions have been granted) before delinquency and all taxes
            imposed upon CFS that are due and payable have been paid before
            delinquency, other than taxes which are being contested in good
            faith by lawful proceedings diligently conducted and against which
            reserve or other provision required by GAAP has been made and in
            respect of which levy and execution of any lien have been and
            continue to be stayed.

      F.    Each Loan CFS certifies to Lender as eligible to be originated and
            funded by Lender (i) is genuine in all respects and is what it
            purports to be; (ii) is free from any material claim for credit,
            deduction, or allowance of any such obligor and free from any
            defense, dispute, setoff, counterclaim or right of recission (other
            than for payments made in respect of it) which could be asserted and
            maintained, or which, with notice, lapse of time, or the occurrence
            or failure to occur of any act or event, could be asserted and
            maintained by the Borrower or any other party as a result of any
            breach, nonperformance, or nonfulfillment of any of the terms of
            this Agreement on the part of CFS or its agents; (iii) was marketed,
            originated and is in compliance in all material respects with all
            Applicable Law; (iv) is supported by a Promissory Note that is in
            CFS's physical possession at the time of such certification ; (v)
            conforms to the applicable requirements under the Regulations for
            Guarantee; and (vi) complies with all other terms of this Agreement
            with respect to Loans.

      G.    Upon reasonable request CFS shall allow Lender (including Lender's
            regulators and auditors) to monitor CFS sales calls to Borrowers and
            application processing activities for the sole purpose of monitoring
            the Program for contract and regulatory compliance, and the
            information gained thereby shall be used for no other purpose. The
            restrictions on Lender's use of the information about CFS that it
            acquires pursuant to this section 19(G) shall survive any
            termination or expiration of this Agreement. CFS shall remain
            obligated and liable to Lender in accordance with the provisions
            hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue
            of any such monitoring by Lender.

      H.    CFS will, beginning July 1, 2001 and at all times thereafter while
            this Agreement remains in effect, have in place an information
            security program for protecting Lender's Proprietary Information
            that fulfills the objectives set forth in the

<PAGE>

            "Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding
            Customer Information", 66 Fed. Reg. 8616, February 1, 2001, codified
            in Appendix B to 12 C.F.R. part 30 (implementing section 501(b) of
            the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Public Law 106-102).

      CFS further represents and warrants to the Lender the following: until all
      Loans that Lender funds hereunder have been repaid in full or paid as a
      claim by TERI, CFS or transferred by the Lender to another entity:

      I.    CFS shall maintain books, records and accounts necessary to prepare
            financial statements according to GAAP.

      J.    Upon reasonable request CFS shall allow Lender (including Lender's
            regulators and auditors) to inspect any of its properties, to review
            reports, files and other records and to make and take away copies,
            to conduct tests or investigations, and to discuss any of its
            affairs, conditions and finances with its directors, officers,
            employees or representatives from time-to-time during reasonable
            business hours, for the sole purpose of monitoring the Program for
            contract and regulatory compliance, and the information gained
            thereby shall be used for no other purpose. The restrictions on
            Lender's use of the information about CFS that it acquires pursuant
            to this section 19(J) shall survive any termination or expiration of
            this Agreement. CFS shall remain obligated and liable to Lender in
            accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such
            obligation and liability by virtue of any such inspection, review,
            testing, investigation, or discussions, by Lender.

      K.    CFS shall (i) maintain its corporate existence (such that there
            shall not be any mergers or acquisitions in which CFS is not the
            surviving entity) and good standing in its state of organization,
            and (ii) maintain all licenses, permits, and franchises necessary
            for its business.

20. Representations and Warranties of Lender:

      Lender represents and warrants to CFS on the date of this Agreement, on
      the date of each request for Lender to originate and fund any Loan, and on
      the date of Lender's funding of any Loan (which such representations and
      warranties shall survive any termination of this Agreement):

      A.    Lender (i) is duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good
            standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
            organized; (ii) is duly qualified to transact business as a general
            corporation; and (iii) possesses all requisite authority, permits
            and power to conduct its business as is now being, or is
            contemplated by this Agreement to be, conducted; and (iv) is in
            compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations
            applicable to its performance of its obligations under this
            Agreement.

      B.    The execution and delivery by Lender of this Agreement and the
            performance by it of its obligations hereunder (i) are within its
            corporate power; (ii) have been

<PAGE>


            duly authorized by all necessary action; (iii) except for any action
            or filing that has been taken or made on or before the date of this
            Agreement, require no action by or filing with any governmental
            agency; and (iv) do not violate any provision of its articles of
            incorporation.

      C.    This Agreement will, upon execution and delivery by all parties
            thereto, constitute a legal and binding obligation of Lender,
            enforceable against Lender according to its terms.

      D.    Lender is not subject to, or aware of the threat of, any litigation
            that is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to it and that,
            if so adversely determined, would have a material adverse affect on
            its financial condition.

21. Notice:

      All notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
      sent by certified mail, return receipt requested to the parties at their

      3301 C Street, Suite 100-M
      Sacramento, California 95816

22. Entire Agreement:

      This Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, represents the entire
      agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, written or
      oral, with respect to such subject matter. Each of the parties has read
      and understands this Agreement, and has had the opportunity to have this
      Agreement reviewed by an attorney.

23. Term; Termination:

      A.    The parties agree that the term of this Agreement shall be from the
            date first written above until June 12, 2004 ("Initial Term"). The
            Agreement shall thereafter automatically extend for two (2),
            one-year periods (each an "Additional Term") unless one of the
            parties notifies the others in writing of their intent not to renew
            at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or
            Additional Term, as applicable.

<PAGE>


      B.    B. This Agreement may be terminated under the following
            circumstances within the time specified:

            (1)   By mutual agreement of parties, in writing, at the time so
                  agreed to by the parties;

            (2)   By Lender or CFS, in writing, if the other party has in any
                  material respect breached any covenant, obligation,
                  representation or warranty contained herein, and such breach
                  has not been cured within sixty (60) calendar days after the
                  date on which written notice of such breach is given to the
                  party committing such breach;

            (3)   By either party (the "solvent Party") in writing, in the event
                  the other party (the "insolvent Party") files for or is
                  subject to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, makes an
                  assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes subject to
                  any receivership, conservatorship or liquidation, in which
                  case this Agreement may be immediately terminated by the
                  solvent Party by giving written notice of termination to the
                  insolvent Party. In such event, this Agreement shall not
                  constitute assets or property in any insolvency proceeding,
                  and therefore may not be assigned to any trustee, receiver,
                  creditor or the other third party.

            (4)   By Lender in the event the volume of completed Applications
                  received during any two (2) consecutive months is less than
                  [****].

            (5)   By Lender upon written notice to CFS in the event that the
                  Guaranty Agreement between Lender and TERI terminates or the
                  "Consolidation Loan Origination Responsibility Agreement"
                  between Educaid and CFS terminates. Furthermore, Lender shall
                  have no obligation to fund any Loans under this Agreement
                  after the date, if ever, that (i) TERI limits or suspends
                  issuing Guarantees on RWPCL Loans, or (ii) the Office of the
                  Comptroller of the Currency or any other regulatory agency
                  with jurisdiction over Lender directs the Lender to
                  discontinue its activities under this Agreement.

      C.    Termination or expiration of the Agreement shall not terminate or
            affect any rights, obligations or liabilities of either party that
            arose prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination.

24. Ownership Changes:

      Should ownership of either CFS or Lender change by 50% (or controlling
      interest) of either, notification is required within 30 days by the party
      subject to the change to the other party. This contract, and all the
      rights and obligations of CFS hereunder, may not be assigned or
      subcontracted by CFS without the prior written consent of Educaid, which
      consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Lender may assign this
      contract, or any or all of its rights and obligations under this contract,
      to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate

<PAGE>


      of Lender's without CFS's consent. Any assignment contrary to the
      foregoing shall be void.

25. Amendment:

      This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by all
      of the parties hereto. The effective date of any amendments shall be the
      date the parties have signed said instrument unless otherwise stated
      therein.

26. Binding Effect:

      This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
      parties and each one's permitted successors and assigns.

27. Agency:

      The parties acknowledge that nothing herein is intended to authorize CFS
      or the Lender to enter into an agency relationship with any other entity
      or individual, including without limitation the holder of any loans to be
      consolidated or their agents, nor shall any provision hereof be
      interpreted as creating such an agency relationship or subjecting the
      Lender to any liability, loss or imputed or vicarious knowledge,
      liability, or loss in connection with any Loan made pursuant to this
      Agreement by reason of any act or omission of any such other entity or
      individual. No legal relationship of any kind exists as a result of this
      Agreement other than the covenants expressly contained herein. This
      Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to constitute, create, give
      effect to or otherwise imply a partnership, copartnership, joint venture
      or business organization of any kind between the parties, or principal and
      agent relationship between the parties or any of their respective
      Affiliates. It is agreed that each party shall at all times be an
      independent contractor and not an agent for the other party. Neither party
      has the authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility,
      express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of, the other party or to
      bind such other party in any way. Each party shall be responsible for
      wages, taxes, withholding, insurance, hours, and conditions of employment
      of its personnel during the term of this Agreement.

28. Default; Jurisdiction:

      Should any party default hereunder, the nondefaulting party shall be
      entitled to recover all costs of enforcing this agreement, including
      reasonable attorney's fees. This agreement shall be governed by, subject
      to, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
      Virginia without regard for its conflict of laws statute.

29. Indemnification.

      Each party (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to assume liability and to
      pay for, and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
      other party (the "Indemnified Party") and its officers, directors,
      employees, Affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against, any and
      all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, penalties, fines, or expenses,
      including without limitation legal costs and reasonable attorney's fees
      (together

<PAGE>


      "Losses"), in connection with any claims, suits or proceedings made or
      brought by a third party to the extent that such Losses result from, arise
      out of , or relate to a violation, breach or non-performance by the
      Indemnifying party or its agent(s) of any of the Indemnifying Party's
      obligations, covenants, representations, warranties, or certifications
      under or in connection with this Agreement. It is specifically understood
      that neither party shall make or agree to any settlement of any such claim
      involving financial compensation by the other party, its successors,
      assigns, or Affiliates. Except in the event of fraud or criminal
      misconduct, neither party shall be responsible or liable to the other
      party for consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive
      damages.

30. Severability.

      It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement be construed and
      interpreted in a manner such as to permit enforcement of all of its terms.
      However, if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
      unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such provision shall, as
      to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
      unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or
      the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or
      unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
      unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, unless such
      invalidity shall destroy the economic incentive for either party's
      participation in the Agreement. Such invalid or unenforceable provision
      shall be amended, if possible, in accordance with Section 25 hereof in
      order to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

31. Mandatory Arbitration.

      Any dispute or controversy between the parties involving less than
      $250,000 arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement
      shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered and conducted under
      the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
      and title 9 of the United States Code. The prevailing party in any
      judicial action or arbitration shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
      other party for cost, filing fees, arbitration filing fees, reasonable
      pretrial, trial and appellate attorneys' fees, witness fees, expert fees,
      arbitration panel fees, and travel fees. A judgement upon the arbitration
      award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration
      hearing shall take place in the State of California. Nothing in this
      section, however, shall prevent either party from seeking equitable relief
      from a count of competent jurisdiction for the other party's breach of
      Section 18 hereof or infringement of intellectual property rights and
      proprietary sections of this Agreement.

32. No Implied Waivers.

      No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right,
      privilege, power, or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of
      dealings among the parties, shall operate as a waiver of such right,
      privilege, power, or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
      any right, privilege, power, or remedy under this Agreement preclude any
      other or further exercise of any right, privilege, power, or remedy or the
      existence of any

<PAGE>


      other right, privilege, power, or remedy. No waiver shall be effective
      against any party unless signed in writing by an authorized officer of
      such party.

33. Corporate Obligation.

      No director, officer, employee or agent of any party shall be individually
      liable to any other party for the taking of any action, or for refraining
      to take any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement. The
      Agreement is a corporate obligation and any liability arising hereunder
      shall be a corporate liability.

34. Remedies Not Exclusive.

      No remedy by the terms of this Agreement conferred upon or reserved to any
      party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and
      every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
      remedy given under this Agreement or existing at law or in equity
      (including, without limitation the right to such equitable relief by way
      of injunction) or by statute on or after the date of this Agreement.

35. Conflicts in Terms.

      To the extent that any provision of the Regulations (Exhibit A) shall
      conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and
      conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed controlling.

      Entered into as of this 12th day of June, 2001.

                       PRIVATE CONSOLIDATION LOAN OVERVIEW

The REAL WORLD(TM) PRIVATE CONSOLIDATION LOAN (RWPCL) - is a private (i.e.,
non-federal) consolidation loan that is underwritten using Credit Scoring and
Credit Requirements. Each RWPCL is

      -     made by First Union National Bank of Delaware (the "Lender"),

      -     originated on the Lender's behalf by Collegiate Funding Services,
            LLC, ("CFS" or the "Originator"),

      -     disbursed and serviced by SunTech, Inc. (the "Servicer"), and

      -     guaranteed by a private non-profit guarantor, The Education
            Resources Institute, Inc. ("TERI") and not the Federal Government.

The RWPCL will replace the Borrower's prior eligible education loan obligations
with new terms and conditions. To be eligible for an RWPCL, the applicant must
meet the underwriting requirements of these Guidelines.

The interest rate on the RWPCL will be Prime plus 1%. The Borrower will also be
responsible for a guaranty fee of 1% or 3%, which is added into the loan amount.
Prime is adjusted monthly; based on the rate published in the Wall Street
Journal printed on the last business day of the month.

The minimum private loan balance needed to qualify is [****].

The FICO score will determine the guaranty fee and maximum balance:
FICO [****] = guaranty fee of 1% and maximum of [****] loan amount
FICO [****] = guaranty fee of 3% and maximum loan amount of [****]

Adding a Co-Borrower to the loan may, depending on the Co-Borrower's credit
profile, make the Borrower eligible for an RWPCL loan (for example, if the
Co-Borrower's income is needed to meet the minimum debt-to-income ratio).
However, adding a Co-Borrower will not alter the guaranty fee or the maximum
loan amount. Furthermore, the Borrower must have a [****] FICO score or higher
even if applying with a Co-Borrower, subject to branch overrides in particular
cases as described in the Reconsideration Section below.

Borrowers can use the RWPCL to pay off federal loans as well as private loans.
However, the maximum amount of Federal loans that may be added to the Private
consolidation is [****].

         REPAYMENT TERMS

Loan Balance           Repayment Term
$7500 - $39,999        Up to 20 years
$40,000 - $60,000      Up to 25 years
Greater than $60,000   Up to 30 years

Note: Repayment terms are based on a Borrower's consolidated loan balance; these
terms may be changed by the Borrower after the Borrower has completed one full
year of full principal and

<PAGE>


interest payments. (Any such change will require the signature of both signers
of the original RWPCL, if there is a Co-Borrower on the note.) However, the
Borrower cannot exceed the maximum repayment period applicable to his/her
balance at the time the loan was approved.

                             UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES

      I.    LOANS ELIGIBLE FOR CONSOLIDATION

      CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY

      To be eligible for consolidation by means of an RWPCL, a loan must:

      1.    Be a closed end loan (set for a specific term and amount).

      2.    Be evidenced by a valid promissory note, signed by the Borrower, as
certified by the current holder of the loan.

      3.    Have been funded by any company or institution that is engaged in
the business of making loans.

      4.    Have been made pursuant to a loan program explicitly limited to
education loans. (For example, home equity lines that happen to be used for
educational purposes do not qualify.)

      5.    Have been used to pay for educational expenses at a post-secondary
institution eligible under the US Department of Education Title IV program OR in
conjunction with obtaining certification to practice in a professional field
(i.e., bar examination, medical internship/residency, etc.). Note: it is not
necessary that a school be approved by TERI.

      6.    Be reported at a credit reporting agency as a student loan trade
line or certified by the holder or its servicing agent as a loan used for
educational purposes.

      7.    Be certified by the Borrower as having been used to finance
education expenses. (This certification is contained in the printed application
form, and must not be altered or deleted as submitted by the Borrower.).

      8.    Be in repayment.

      9.    Be not more than 60 days delinquent, as certified by the current
holder (or servicing agent) of the loan.

      Note: Items 4 and 5 above are not applicable to loans that are themselves
consolidation loans. For consolidation loans that are to be paid off with an
RWPCL, the Originator may rely on the certification referred to in Item 7 above.

      A Borrower is free to choose which eligible loans to submit for
consolidation. Even a single non-federally guaranteed loan may be refinanced by
an RWPCL if it and the Borrower otherwise qualify.

<PAGE>


      An existing RWPCL cannot be "re-opened" to cover other loans; the Borrower
must take out a new RWPCL.

      LOAN SIZE MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS

      To obtain an RWPCL, an applicant must be seeking to consolidate at least
[****] in non-federal education debt. Up to [****] of federal debt can be
consolidated along with private debt. In order to receive a consolidation loan,
applicants with Federal loans that total [****] or more must consolidate their
Federal loans under a Real World Consolidation Loan, not dealt with in these
Guidelines.

      The maximum amount of loans that can be consolidated in an RWPCL depends
on the credit score of the Borrower. (The Co-Borrower's credit score is not
relevant to this determination.) A Borrower with a credit score of [****] can
consolidate up to [****] of eligible loans; a Borrower with a credit score of
[****] or higher can consolidate up to [****]. These maximums are both LOAN
MAXIMUMS and PROGRAM MAXIMUMS; a Borrower with an existing RWPCL can obtain a
new RWPCL but only in an amount equal to the maximum less his/her existing
RWPCL(s). For example, suppose a Borrower consolidates [****] in 2001, and four
years later wants to consolidate two newer loans totaling [****]. If the
Borrower has a FICO score that places him in the [****] "cap" maximum range, he
may NOT consolidate the new [****] loan unless by that time he has paid down the
first RWPCL to [****], so that the two RWPCLs together total no more than
[****]. The above caps can be waived on a case-by-case basis only with TERI's
express written consent prior to approval.

      II.   BORROWER AND/OR CO-BORROWER ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for a Real World Private Consolidation Loan, the Borrower must
meet the following minimum underwriting criteria. Unless otherwise noted, any
Co-Borrower must also meet these criteria:

      -     Credit Score greater than or equal to [****]

      -     Maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI):

            -     [****] if credit score is between [****] and [****]

            -     [****] if credit score is greater than [****]

      The Borrower or Co-Borrower must pass this test; it is not necessary that
both pass.

      -     No bankruptcies within the past five years.

      -     Current on mortgage or rent payment.

      -     Two or more revolving credit and/or installment debts, with no
            more than two accounts having been 30 days past-due in the preceding
            12 months, and no accounts having been more than 60 days past-due in
            the preceding 12 months. If a Co-Borrower has two current debts, the
            Borrower need not have any, but any accounts the Borrower does have
            must meet the above past-due limitations.

<PAGE>


      -     United States citizenship - required for either the Borrower or the
            Co-Borrower.

      -     No record of paid or unpaid charged off account over $150 or no
            record of a foreclosure, repossession, open judgment or suit, unpaid
            tax lien or other negative public record items.

      -     Verified income stream for at least one Borrower or Co-Borrower on
            the application.

      There is no minimum employment duration required; nor is there a
requirement for the Borrower or Co-Borrower to be employed. One of them must
however be able to evidence a flow of income sufficient to repay the loan as per
the DTI criteria set out earlier in this document. If the loan requires spousal
income be included to meet DTI, the spouse is considered a Co-Borrower and must
sign the promissory note. In community property states (such as California and
Nevada), spousal income must be considered if disclosed and verifiable. All
items detailed for the Borrower must also be verified for a Co-Borrower.

      Details on certain of these items are as follows:

      A. CITIZENSHIP

The Borrower or the Co-Borrower must be a U.S. Citizen. The Originator must
verify citizenship with one of the following:

      -     Drivers License - This will serve as verification of citizenship
            only if a social security number is printed on the document.

      -     Passport

      -     U.S. Armed Services ID

      -     Birth Certificate

      -     Certification of U.S. Citizenship (INS form N-560 or N-561)

The Originator will forward documentation of citizenship to the Servicer along
with the Borrower file.

      B. EMPLOYMENT

The Originator must verify the Borrower's and/or Co-Borrower's employment with
one of the following:

      -     A signed letter, on company letterhead, from the Borrower's employer
            (preferably the company Personnel Department) verifying employment,
            with additional telephone verification.

      -     Copies of the Borrower's two most recent pay stubs.

      -     If the Borrower is self-employed, signed copies of his/her two most
            recent Federal Tax returns.

If the Originator does not receive one of the first three means of employment
verification, it must:

<PAGE>


      -     Contact the Borrower at his/her place of business, and verify the
            company phone number with Directory Assistance.

      -     Contact the Borrower's business (preferably the company Personnel
            Department), and verify employment.

      C. INCOME

The Originator must verify the Borrower and/or Co-Borrower's Income with one of
the following depending upon the source of income:

      -     If the Borrower is salaried, a copy of paycheck deposits, pay stubs
            etc. The document must be dated within the last 30 days of
            application date.

      -     Copies of the most recent pay stubs (representing 30 days worth of
            income).

      -     Most recent W-2 form.

      -     Most recent copy of signed 1040 Tax return with all schedules
            attached.

      -     An original letter from the employer; signed by a third party and
            verbally verified.

      -     Original letterhead from a CPA, with a signature and verbal
            confirmation, stating annual income.

      -     If self-employed, signed copies of two most recent Federal Tax
            returns (with all schedules attached).

      Additional Sources of Income:

      -     Alimony/child support or separate maintenance as source of income -
            Six months' canceled checks and/or six months' bank statements
            showing deposits, or court ledgers. Income must continue for three
            years from application date. The income and liability details of a
            divorce older than five years need not be pursued unless it is a
            primary source of income or unless it represents a significant
            liability. In addition, the Borrower and/or Co-Borrower should also
            be provided the option of providing an attorney's letter detailing
            the income/liability information if he/she does not wish to provide
            a full copy of a divorce decree for qualification purposes. It may
            be assumed that child support will discontinue at age 18 unless
            evidence to the contrary is provided. Complete tax returns with W-2s
            may be obtained for Alimony and Separate Maintenance.

      -     Retirement benefits, Supplemental SS, Veteran's compensation,
            disability, welfare award, Social Security, Corporate pension
            benefit - Letter showing future revenue stream amount and frequency.
            If letter is not specific, two months' worth of bank statements or
            most recent check stub or copies of two months' canceled checks
            should be submitted. Please see underwriting manager if duration of
            the income is less than two years.

      -     Bonuses and Overtime - Recent pay stub dated within the last 30
            days.

      -     Commission - Copy of last two years signed, completed personal
            federal tax returns, with all schedules and W-2s attached.

      -     Dividend, Interest, Capital Gains - Two years' broker statements
            showing all consistent incomes, or copy of last two years' signed,
            completed copy of signed personal Federal Tax returns, with all
            schedules and W-2s attached.

<PAGE>


      -     Rental Income - Copy of last two years' signed, completed personal
            Federal Tax returns, with all schedules and W-2s attached. If the
            property has been rented for less than twelve months, receipts and
            bank statements showing deposits.

      Note: For situations where tax returns are required, calculate rental
income based on a 24-month average, subject to underwriter discretion if rental
income decreases substantially during the 24-month period.

      D. TOTAL GROSS MONTHLY INCOME

      -     Borrower and/or Co-Borrower (salary) income

      -     Other income

            -     Interest

            -     Dividends

            -     Rental Income from investment rental properties if positive
                  cash flow

            -     Alimony, child support, separate maintenance, etc., if
                  provided.

            -     Bonuses, commissions, overtime (may be reduced to reflect
                  Regional Economic conditions).

            -     Self-employed income is generally calculated utilizing two
                  years' average of income stated on tax returns when available
                  or required.

Note: If the Borrower has been with current employer for more than two years,
calculate average for previous twenty-four months. If with current employer more
than one year and less than two years, calculate average using number of months
on the job. If with current employer less than one year with minimum two year
earning commission, use either lower average monthly commissions of the current
job or average for total income received from all employers during previous
twenty-four months.

      E. MORTGAGE/RENT VERIFICATION

      The Borrower and Co-Borrower must each be current on rent or mortgage
payments. Choose one of the following as an acceptable means of verification for
mortgage or rent:

      -     Mortgage review on the Credit Bureau report indicating a 12-month
            history and paid current.

      -     Request a copy of the Borrower's most recent monthly mortgage bill,
            showing no past due amounts. If an amount is shown past due, have
            the Borrower provide a copy of canceled check for the past due
            amount, or call the mortgage holder to verify payments.

      -     Call the Borrower's mortgage company or landlord to verbally verify
            the status of the account, or request written verification if the
            company representative is unable to give a verbal status without
            prior release from the Borrower. The name and number of the person
            contacted must be documented in the account history.

      -     Request a letter from the Borrowers' landlord or mortgage company,
            on company letterhead, indicating that the Borrower is current.

<PAGE>


      The easiest method for verification of mortgage payments will be the
Credit Bureau report. Rental payments will not be shown on a Credit Bureau
report and will require a call or request for written verification from the
landlord.

      Note: The delinquency criteria from page 5 (Borrower and/or Co-Borrower
eligibility) must be applied to the Borrower's mortgage account. This means that
neither the Borrower nor the Co-Borrower can have been 60 days or more past due
on his or her mortgage payment in the past twelve months, even if the account
has been brought current at the time of review for loan approval.

      F. CALCULATING DEBT TO INCOME RATIO

      Monthly debt is derived/calculated from information on the application and
the credit bureau report. The debt to be considered:

      -     Monthly mortgage/rent

      -     All loans in repayment currently (auto, personal, education, boat)

      -     Revolving debt from credit cards and personal lines of credit

      -     Alimony and child support payments

      -     Those debts for which the Borrower or Co-Borrower has liability
            showing on the credit bureau report and/or application.

      Note: When assessing the monthly debt, duplicate accounts may show between
the application and credit bureau report. If this occurs, the higher payment
shown will be taken into consideration.

      Income that would be considered:

      -     All regularly occurring income of the applicant(s) assessed,
            including salaries, retirements benefits, and annuities.

      G. CREDIT BUREAU REPORT REVIEW

      The review of the Credit Bureau Report will be a major part of the
Underwriting Review. Each applicant - the Borrower and any Co-Borrower - must
have a score of [****] or better unless approved according to the
Reconsideration Policy and Procedures.

      III.  DENIAL PROCEDURES

      After review if it is determined that the file cannot be approved the
following procedure should be followed:

      -     Determine if a counter-offer can be made. The Borrower may be able
            to obtain a Co-Borrower to assist him/her in qualifying if the
            problem with the loan involves lack of income or the Debt to Income
            Ratio. If the file already has a Co-Borrower no counter offer can be
            made.

<PAGE>


      -     The status code PREJCO should be used to indicate that a counter
            offer has been extended.

      If a Co-Borrower will be used the file should be placed in the status code
PCORQ. This status will indicate that the file is on hold until the necessary
documentation can be obtained from the Co-Borrower (paystubs, credit bureau
information, complete application).

      -     After the examination of the Co-Borrower has been completed it will
            be necessary to underwrite the file again using the information for
            the Co-Borrower. If approved, normal approval procedures as noted
            previously should be followed.

      If the file already has a Co-Borrower and does not meet the criteria for
approval no counter offer may be made. The file should be placed in the status
code PREJ. This will indicate that the file has been rejected and Denial
Procedures should be followed.

      An adverse action letter must be sent to any Borrower who has had a Credit
Bureau Report pulled and no resulting credit has been issued. This letter must
be sent within 5 business days of the credit decision for adherence to
regulatory requirements. This letter will detail all information required by
regulation, including without limitation the name, address and phone number for
the Credit Bureau that was utilized to make a determination of ineligibility for
the loan. This will give the Borrower opportunity to obtain a copy of the Credit
Bureau Report.

NO DETAILS OF A BORROWER AND/OR CO-BORROWER CREDIT BUREAU REPORT SHOULD BE
DISCUSSED WITH THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THAT REPORT. DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT BORROWER'S INFORMATION WITH A CO-BORROWER AND VICE VERSA ARE PROHIBITED.

      An Adverse Action Letter must be sent when the Borrower has been
non-responsive for 90 days. A Credit Bureau report is no longer valid as of the
90th day from the date it was pulled. The letter would be sent to indicate that
the request for credit has been denied due to inactivity on the part of the
Borrower or Co-Borrower. Efforts should be made throughout the processing of the
loan to reach the borrower by phone, with a follow-up in writing no later than
60 days after material has been requested. This letter will inform the Borrower
of the specific date when an adverse action letter will be sent if said Borrower
has not responded. The date of the adverse action letter should be no later than
90 days from the date that credit was originally obtained.

      Note: Responsive Borrowers will not be denied simply because the credit
bureau has aged to 90 days. In that situation, the Originator should note the
file to record conversations with the Borrower. This note should detail the
progression of events leading to the ultimate decision on the file. A new credit
bureau report will have to be pulled, however, if the first is more than 90 days
old.

      IV.   RECONSIDERATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES

      For a denied Borrower or Co-Borrower to be reconsidered, he/she must
request reconsideration of the denied application in writing. The Borrower(s)
must then satisfactorily resolve all denial reasons listed in the Adverse Action
Letter. The request for reconsideration must provide documentation that
satisfies the criteria listed in the reconsideration grid below. Approval of an
applicant who meets all reconsideration criteria is a "POLICY OVERRIDE".

<PAGE>


      If a denied applicant

      -     is below the score cutoff but has a credit score no lower than
            [****],

      -     fails the debt-to-income test,

      -     lacks sufficient credit history, or

      -     has credit derogatories that would disqualify him/her for an RWPCL,

      the Originator may grant an override , but only with (1) the sign-off of
the manager of the Lender's credit department (or the manager of CFS as the
Lender's agent) and (2) TERI's written consent evidenced by the sign-off of any
authorized TERI staff. The Originator will complete a Reconsideration Worksheet
and attach all applicable information and fax all documents needed for
reconsideration to TERI for approval and signature. Follow-up via phone or email
by the Originator with TERI will be done after 48 hours. The Lender's agent (the
Originator) must submit a copy of these sign-offs to TERI at the time of
origination. Such overrides may be granted where, for example, an applicant made
good faith efforts to cure derogatory credit but was unable to do so due to
circumstances beyond his/her control. Any override granted to an applicant who
fails to meet reconsideration criteria is an out-of-policy override. For
convenience, it will be referred to in these guidelines by the term "BRANCH
OVERRIDE". CFS, as agent for the Lender must so designate it in its system for
reporting purposes, and forward all such original documentation to the Servicer
while retaining copies for itself.

      The Lender's agent, CFS, will provide TERI with full documentation of each
branch override. The Lender and Originator will use best efforts to keep the
total number of branch overrides for each calendar year, for each loan program,
to less than three percent (3%) of total approved loan decisions for such year,
calculated in terms of gross dollars approved.

      Each file where a policy or branch override has occurred must reference
this fact.

      For all purposes of these guidelines, an application with a credit score
below [****] that has been approved as a branch override will be treated as a
[****] credit score loan.

      V.    PRIVATE LOAN FORMS

      PRIVATE CONSOLIDATION LOAN APPLICATION AND PROMISSORY NOTE - ADDENDUM A

      UNDERWRITING WORKSHEET - ADDENDUM B

      This document must be completed in its entirety prior to render an
underwriting decision on the loan. The underwriter should conduct a thorough
review of this document.

      -     Borrower and Loan detail

      -     Score Review - indicate with a "Y" or an "N" the applicable score
            for either the Borrower or the Co-Borrower.

      -     Credit Review - indicate with a "Y" or an "N" the answers to all
            questions. Either the Borrower or Co-Borrower must have an answer of
            "Y" to all of these questions for loan eligibility.

<PAGE>


      -     Employment/Income Verification - not all areas of this will require
            completion. Check only the applicable form of employment and income
            verification used for the Borrower or Co-Borrower being examined.

      -     Total Gross Income - all income figures should be represented as a
            monthly gross figure. Breakdown all income used for qualification in
            its proper designation.

      -     Total Gross Monthly Income - Total all figures that comprise the
            income for the Borrower or Co-Borrower into a total figure.
            Double-check all math calculations.

      -     Documentation Review - indicate with a "Y" or an "N" if all
            documentation is present. Detail with a "Y" or an "N" all those
            pieces of documentation that are contained in the file.

      -     Final Recommendation/Comments - Detail all reasons for a denial in
            this area. An overall comment should also be made for all loans that
            are approved.

            was approved or denied.

      -     Senior Underwriter Signature and Date - Until further notice all
            loans must be signed off by the Underwriting Manager.

      All files requiring a reconsideration using a Branch Override or a Policy
      Override will be indicated on the Underwriting Worksheet as well as the
      Checklist Window in CT.

      Reports will be pulled to determine the percentage of files where a
reconsideration was used.

      RECONSIDERATION WORKSHEET - ADDENDUM C

      This document must be completed if reconsideration is required to approve
the loan being reviewed. The completed form along with necessary attachments
should be forwarded to TERI for review, approval, and signature prior to loan
approval.

      EXAMPLES OF EACH DOCUMENT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ADDENDA AT THE END OF THESE
GUIDELINES.

                             ORIGINATION GUIDELINES

      I.    FUNDING PROCEDURES

      Upon completion and approval of an application, it will be disbursed
within 5 business days unless otherwise agreed to by the Applicant.

      II.   FILE SHIPMENT TO SERVICER

      All original documentation will be forwarded to the Servicer within five
(5) business days following the initial electronic file transfer from the
Originator to the Servicer.

      Should the Originator receive any correspondence, notices, or
communications from or with respect to any Borrower (e.g., bankruptcy and death
notices) after the Borrower file has

<PAGE>


been sent to the Servicer, the Originator will immediately forward such
documents to the Servicer.

      III.  DISBURSEMENT/REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS

      CFS will contact every Borrower (but need not also contact any
Co-Borrower) whose application has been approved, prior to sending the account
to the Servicer for disbursement. By this contact, which will be by telephone or
email, CFS will convey and confirm to the Borrower:

      1) the loans included in the consolidation,

      2) the balance of such loans and the total payoff amount, and

      3) the guaranty fee that will be added to the RWPCL.

      At this time, CFS will answer any other relevant questions of the
Borrower, and notify the Borrower that this is the final step prior to the
funding and disbursement of the RWPCL. CFS will make data entries confirming
this communication in its origination files, which will be part of any Borrower
File forwarded to the Servicer and subsequently included in any claims package
forwarded to TERI.

      Upon receipt of the disbursement file by electronic transmission from CFS,
the Servicer will disburse the loan proceeds (other than the borrower guaranty
fee) by one or more checks or electronic fund transfers to the holder of
pre-existing loans to be paid off, or such holders' designated Servicers. The
Servicer will also send a disclosure statement to the Borrower itemizing all
such payments in accordance with applicable law.

      A returned uncashed check or EFT will not result in a cancellation of the
loan so long as at least one other pre-existing loan is in fact paid off by the
consolidation loan Borrower. Return of a check or EFT within thirty (30) days
following origination will trigger a refund of the applicable portion of the
guaranty fee to the lender, and the Servicer will notify TERI and the Lender of
any fee refundable to the lender. The Servicer will make any redisclosures that
may be required by law.

      Any payment received from a lender or servicer to which a payoff check has
been sent, unless in the exact amount of the payoff check, will be applied to
principal due on the Borrower's account, but will not trigger any changes to the
repayment schedule or any refund of guaranty fees.

      IV.   PAYMENT OF GUARANTY FEES TO TERI

      BORROWER GUARANTY FEE

      The Borrower is assessed a Guaranty Fee of either 1% or 3%,
depending on his/her FICO score, as follows:

      -     If FICO score is [****] or above, the Guaranty Fee is 1%;

      -     If FICO score is less than [****], the Guaranty Fee is 3%.

<PAGE>


      Note: Only the Borrower's credit score is used in this determination. If
there is a Co-Borrower on the loan the Co-Borrower's credit score has no bearing
on the amount of the Guaranty Fee.

      The Guaranty Fee is added to the balance of the loans being consolidated.
The principal payoff balance plus the Borrower Guaranty Fee equals the Total
Loan Amount (the "Amount Financed," in Truth-in-Lending terms).

      LENDER SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTY FEES

      1.    The Lender will also pay TERI , an Up-Front Supplemental Guaranty
Fee. The amount of this fee will vary, based on the composition of the
underlying loans being consolidated, as follows:

      a)    If the underlying loan balance is < 50% TERI-guaranteed loans,
            Lender owes TERI [****] of the Total Loan Amount.

      b)    If the underlying loan balance is greater than or equal to 50%
            TERI-guaranteed loans, Lender owes [****] to TERI.

      This fee is NOT added to the Borrower's Total Loan Amount.

      2.    The Lender will also pay to TERI a Quarterly Lender Supplemental
Guaranty Fee based on the composition of the underlying loans consolidated and
the amount of time the loan has been in repayment. All loans made during a given
academic year (which is deemed to be the period July 1 - June 30) will bear the
following fees at least through the tenth anniversary of the end of such
academic year (for example, loans made during the period July 1, 2001 - June 30,
2002 will bear the following fees at least through June 30, 2012):

      a)    If the original underlying loan balance was < 50% TERI-guaranteed
loans, the Lender owes TERI a fee equal to [****] of the outstanding principal
balance at the end of each quarter for all loans except those for which a
guaranty claim has been filed with TERI.

      b)    If the original underlying loan volume was greater than or equal to
50% TERI-guaranteed insured loans, the Lender owes TERI a fee equal to [****] of
the outstanding principal balance at the end of each quarter for all loans
except those for which a guaranty claim has been filed.

      This fee is paid by the Lender and is not charged to the borrower.

      At the tenth anniversary of the end of an academic year, TERI and the
Lender will compute the cumulative gross default rate (i.e., claims paid,
regardless of TERI's subsequent recoveries thereon) for all loans that were made
during such academic year. If the cumulative gross default rate is below [****],
then no Quarterly Lender Supplemental Guaranty Fee will be payable thereafter
with respect to such loans. If the cumulative gross default rate for all such
loans is [****] or higher, the Lender will continue to pay the fees prescribed
above.

<PAGE>

      FEE CALCULATION

      1.    CFS will be responsible for determining the Borrower's credit score
and whether the underlying loans being paid off with the Borrower's RWPCL are
TERI-guaranteed. In accordance with the above structure, CFS will assign a fee
code to each RWPCL and calculate the Borrower guaranty fees due. CFS will
transmit the information on each RWPCL to the Servicer who will rely on the code
and the calculations. In its payoff request forms submitted to the holders of
loans to be consolidated, CFS will request that such holders certify not only
the loan balance but whether a given loan is or is not TERI-guaranteed, and CFS
will be entitled to rely on such certification. If the holder does not indicate
that a loan is TERI-guaranteed, the loan will be treated as not TERI-guaranteed.
Where CFS has misstated the percentage of paid-off loans that were
TERI-guaranteed, and done so in reliance on certifications from holders, such
misstatement and any resulting underpayment of fees will not be the basis for
denial of a guaranty claim.

      2.    The Servicer will be responsible for generating files and reports to
determine the fees due from Lender to TERI on a weekly basis. The reports and
files covering a calendar week of disbursements will be sent to the Lender by
the first business day following the end of such week.

      3.    TERI and Lender will be responsible for timely review of the data
from the Servicer and will promptly communicate in writing any amounts or
calculations in question.

      4.    The Lender will pay all fees due to TERI promptly upon receipt of
the Servicer's report(s).

      5.    If within ninety (90) days after said fees are paid CFS determines
that it made an error in calculating the ratio of non-TERI guaranteed to TERI
guaranteed loans, it will promptly so notify TERI and the Lender, and TERI shall
reimburse Lender for any fees erroneously paid, or the Lender shall forward
additional fees to TERI, as the case may be.

      6.    TERI or the Lender, as the case may be, will make refunds and
adjustments as provided above within 10 business days of receipt of a documented
request from the Lender (or its agent) or TERI, as the case may be.

      REPORTING

      CFS will provide to the Servicer via electronic transmission the following
information pertaining to each Borrower account:

      -     Appropriate Borrower guaranty fee ([1%] or [3%]) based on Borrower's
            FICO score and a calculated dollar figure for such fee, based upon
            the "make-whole" factor

      -     Borrower FICO score

      -     Whether the TERI-guaranteed underlying loans are greater than or
            less than 50% of the total dollar volume for a single consolidation.
            CFS will convey this information by using a tier level field: a
            blank in the field equates to TERI guaranteed underlying loans <
            50%; a "1" in the tier level field equates to TERI guaranteed
            underlying loans > 50%

<PAGE>

      The Servicer will produce and distribute weekly and quarterly reports. The
weekly report will contain the Borrower Guaranty Fees due to TERI and the
Up-Front Supplemental Guaranty Fees due to TERI. The Servicer will remit
electronic reports to Lender and TERI each Monday or the first business day
thereafter if Monday is a holiday. The weekly report will cover all
disbursements made during the week.

      The Lender will review the report from the Servicer. Unless there is a
reasonable basis for disputing a charge, the Lender will remit the entire amount
owed to TERI by wiring funds into an account designated by TERI. The Lender
shall also cause a report with sufficient detail to be sent to TERI. The form of
such report will be as mutually agreed among the Lender, the Servicer, and TERI.

      TERI will reconcile the fees paid and provide to the Lender a written list
of loans on the weekly electronic report which have been rejected, if any, and
the reasons for such rejection.

      Each month, TERI will provide to the Lender a list of all loans that have
become subject to TERI's guaranty during the previous month.

      The Servicer will provide the Lender a quarterly report to support the
payment of the Quarterly Lender Supplemental Guaranty Fee. Such report will
identify all loans meeting the fee structure described above and will be
delivered to the Lender by the 10th day after the end of each calendar quarter.

      The Lender will use the Servicer's report to support the remittance to
TERI for Quarterly Lender Supplemental Guaranty Fee which shall be paid by the
20th day of the each April, July, October and January for the preceding quarter
Unless there is a reasonable basis for disputing a charge, the Lender will remit
the entire amount owed to TERI by wiring funds into an account designated by
TERI.

      An example for the Servicer's quarterly report is shown below. On or
before December 31, 2010, the Lender, Servicer and TERI will agree on a revised
form that will reflect academic year cohorts for the purpose of determining
whether a particular cohort of loans continue the bear a Lender Supplemental
Guaranty Fee, as described above. In the meantime, if the Lender Supplemental
Guaranty Fees are changed, the sample form below will be amended accordingly.

                              SERVICING GUIDELINES

      I.    REPAYMENT TERMS

      All consolidation loans are for immediate repayment. The Servicer will
schedule the first payment due for a date that is no more than 60 days after the
date of first disbursement.

      The Originator will set the initial repayment period for the loan and
inform the Servicer of such period by electronic data transmission. If the
Originator fails to provide this information to the Servicer, the Servicer will
enter in its records, as the repayment period for the loan, the maximum
permissible repayment period for such loan according to these Guidelines. The
Servicer will be responsible for disclosing this, and making all other
truth-in-lending disclosures, to the Borrower.

      The Servicer may thereafter alter the repayment period and repayment
amount under the following circumstances:

      -     pursuant to forbearance as set forth below,

      -     pursuant to the Borrower's request as set forth below, and/or

      -     to reflect changes in the interest rate applicable to the loan.

      Any change in the interest rate will generally not cause the Borrower's
payment amount to change, but will instead cause the number of payments to
increase or decrease, thus causing the repayment schedule to be lengthened or
shortened. The repayment schedule may be extended beyond the program maximum
(see "Repayment Terms," above), for up to an additional 2 1/2 years, if
necessary to accommodate interest rate increases. If the extension of the
repayment is insufficient to amortize principal over the maximum term plus 2
-1/2 years and cover monthly interest, the monthly payment amount will be
increased to the minimum amount that is sufficient to do so, and the Servicer
will notify the Borrower of this change.

      The Servicer may increase or decrease the Borrower's monthly payment
amount at the Borrower's request, subject to the above limitations, and provided
that the loan is less than 30 days delinquent at the time of the request.

<PAGE>



      II.   FORBEARANCE ELIGIBILITY

      The Servicer is authorized to grant the Borrower a total of six (6) months
of hardship forbearance: non-payment of principal and interest. This forbearance
can only be applied for after the Borrower has completed one full year of full
principal and interest payments on the consolidation loan. This forbearance may
be granted by the Servicer in one forbearance or increments adding up to a
maximum of six (6) months. This forbearance can be applied to the Borrower's
loan prospectively as well as retrospectively.

      The Servicer may use administrative forbearance in the event of death or
bankruptcy of the Borrower or Co-Borrower, or as part of the cure process, as
more fully described below No forbearance may be granted except upon written
request signed by the Borrower.

      III.  LATE CHARGES

      Late Charges are assessed in accordance with the provisions on the
promissory note.

      IV.   DUE DILIGENCE

      Before a claim can be filed with TERI, the Servicer must attempt to
collect the loan from the Borrower and Co-Borrower as applicable in accordance
with the due diligence guidelines outlined below:

      1-30 Days Past Due

      -     Complete two telephone contacts or four attempts to each Borrower
            and Co-Borrower(s).

      -     Send a late notice to the Borrower and Co-Borrower(s).

      31-60 Days Past Due

      -     Complete two telephone contacts or four attempts to each Borrower
            and Co-Borrower(s).

      -     Send a late notice to the Borrower and Co-Borrower(s).

      61-90 Days Past Due

      -     Complete two telephone contacts or four attempts to each Borrower
            and Co-Borrower(s).

      -     Send a late notice to the Borrower and Co-Borrower(s).

      91-119 Days Past Due

      -     Send a late notice to the Borrower and Co-Borrower(s).

      -     The Servicer will cease telephone collection activities by the 90th
            day of delinquency.

      120-130 Days Past Due

      -     A Final Demand will be sent to the Borrower and Co-Borrower(s).

      NOTE: For purposes of these Guidelines,

<PAGE>



      -     a "telephone contact" means either actual contact with the Borrower
            or Co-Borrower, or two attempts. On a given day, only one attempt to
            each individual at a specific telephone number will be counted
            toward satisfying the due diligence requirement.

      -     All letters except the Final Demand letter may be addressed and
            mailed to the Borrower and any Co-Borrower, or to two or more
            Co-Borrowers, jointly if residing at the same address.

      -     The Final Demand letter must be separately addressed and mailed to
            each Borrower and Co-Borrower even if two or more of them live at
            the same address.

      -     Each of the past-due periods above (e.g., 31-60 days past due) is
            called a `bucket."

      If a Borrower makes one or more payments that do not eliminate his
delinquency but ratchet his delinquency back to an earlier bucket, the Servicer
will not be required to perform the due diligence activities scheduled for that
earlier bucket, but must resume due diligence activities if and when the
delinquency increases and rolls into the next bucket.

      The Servicer may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, perform
telephone due diligence activities inadvertently omitted during the 1-120 day
delinquency buckets if such activities are completed no later than the date the
claim is filed. Such performance of omitted due diligence activities will
preclude denial of a claim based on the prior omission.

      The Servicer need not continue sending collection notices to an address
that has become invalid, or continue attempting calls to a telephone number that
has become invalid, if the Servicer is unable to ascertain the correct address
or telephone number through the skip-tracing described below.

      V.    PRE-CLAIM ASSISTANCE

      The Servicer will submit a request for pre-claim assistance to TERI
between the 70th and 90th day of delinquency. The tolerance for error is ten
(10) calendar days. Once a request for assistance is filed and the loan is over
90 days delinquent, the loan will be under the direct supervision of TERI and
TERI will assume all responsibility for the performance of all telephone due
diligence activities. If the loan becomes less than 60 days delinquent because
the Borrower has made some but not all overdue payments, the Servicer will
notify TERI and resume the performance of telephone due diligence activities.

      VI.   SKIP TRACING

      If the Servicer becomes aware (through notification or otherwise), on or
before the 89th day of delinquency, that a Borrower or Co-Borrower's address is
invalid, it must undertake skip-tracing activities as listed below. If it
becomes aware of such invalidity after the 89th day of delinquency, it must
promptly notify TERI. Any required skip-tracing must be completed prior to claim
filing. The Servicer will attempt to locate the Borrower or Co-Borrower through
the following skip-tracing techniques:

      -     Calling directory assistance

      -     One attempt to reach each reference on the application*

      -     One attempt to reach each Borrower and Co-Borrower on the
            application

<PAGE>



      -     Calling the Borrower or Co-Borrower's place of employment, when
            known. If a place of employment has informed the Servicer that they
            will not validate information or that the Borrower is no longer
            employed there, then the Servicer is no longer required to call the
            place of employment.

      -     Conducting a social security search through at least one national
            credit reporting agency

      * This is required activity for the Borrower's references only

      The Servicer may cease skip-tracing efforts if its attempts to locate the
Borrower or Co-Borrower through the above techniques fail. In the case of an
invalid phone number, the Servicer will continue to contact the Borrower by mail
unless the address is also determined to be invalid. The Servicer may perform
skip-tracing activities inadvertently omitted during the 1-89 day delinquency
buckets if such activities are completed no later than the date the claim is
filed. Such performance of omitted skip-tracing activities will preclude denial
of a claim based on the prior omission

      Skip-tracing performed during a prior delinquency period of a loan, but
not during the 120-day delinquency period leading immediately to the filing of a
guaranty claim, will satisfy the Servicer's due diligence obligations if the
particulars are included in the account history provided to TERI as part of the
claim package.

      VII.  CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING

      Within 45 days of delinquency, the Servicer must report the Borrower and
all Co-Borrowers to at least one national credit agency. Normally this will
occur for all loans more than 40 days delinquent at a month end. The Servicer
will continue to report account delinquency on a monthly basis up to claim
payment date. Tolerance for delayed reporting is plus or minus 30 days.

      VIII. DEFAULT CLAIMS

      Default claims must be submitted to TERI between the 180th day and the
210th day of delinquency. TERI will allow a five-business-day tolerance for
submission of default claims. Required claim documentation includes:

      1.    Application, Promissory Note (if separate from the Application),
Disclosure Statement, and the electronic record of the Borrower contact
described in the first paragraph under Section III of the Origination Guidelines
above.

      2.    Forbearance Form(s) and supporting documentation where required
and/or system generated history reflecting the forbearance period

      3.    Credit Bureau Report with credit score

      4.    Due Diligence History for the most recent 120 day delinquency period

      5.    Payment History

<PAGE>



      6.    Underwriting Worksheet

      7.    Income verification

      8.    Pay-Off Request Forms or other evidence that the underlying loans
have been consolidated

      9.    Assignment of Rights

      10.   Copy of the Borrower's proof of citizenship (if applicable)

      11.   Bankruptcy and Death information as appropriate

      If a loan has had prior periods of delinquency that have not aged to 120
days, the Servicer need not report due diligence activities undertaken during
those periods. The only due diligence history it must report is that for the 120
days of delinquency that gave rise to the guaranty claim.

      TERI will send claim payments by check to the Servicer, within time frames
established in the Guaranty Agreement between the Lender and TERI.

      TERI will accept microfilm or laser copies of all original documents with
the claim package. In the event that the Servicer is unable to secure the
original Promissory Note, TERI will accept a copy of such Note if it is
accompanied by a notarized affidavit certifying that the original has been
misplaced and that the copy is a true one. Further, the complete copy of the
Note must contain the signatures of all obligors of the note. If a court of
competent jurisdiction refuses to accept the submitted copy of a note in the
event that TERI must litigate a case, and TERI loses the case for that reason,
TERI will be reimbursed by the Lender for the amount that TERI paid to the
Lender on the claim. TERI, the Lender, the Servicer and the Originator
acknowledge there may be contractual agreements between Lender and either the
Servicer or the Originator governing responsibility for reimbursing TERI the
amount of the claim if a court of competent jurisdiction refuses to accept such
a copy of a Note.

      IX.   CLAIM RECALL

      If the Servicer files a claim and prior to the date TERI sends the claim
payment or the Borrower or Co-Borrower makes a payment or the Borrower qualifies
for a forbearance which brings the loan less than 60 days delinquent, the claim
will be recalled.

      X.    BANKRUPTCY CLAIMS

      If the Servicer is notified that a Borrower or Co-Borrower has filed for
bankruptcy, the Servicer must forward to TERI copies of all documentation
relating to the bankruptcy within ten (10) calendar days, with a tolerance of
five business days. The Servicer must file a claim with TERI within sixty (60)
calendar days after it is notified of the bankruptcy action for Chapter 13,
Chapter 11, or (but only if there is an adversary action noted in the filing)
Chapter 7.

<PAGE>



      Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Claim Filing Procedures

      In the event that the Borrower or Co-Borrower files for Chapter 7
bankruptcy and has not been claim-submitted for delinquency, the Servicer must
place the account on an Administrative Forbearance to cover all delinquency and
the period of the bankruptcy proceeding on the account. All activities on the
account with regard to due diligence must cease until such time a determination
is made as to the dismissal, discharge or close of the case (s). If the loan (s)
are discharged, TERI will contact the Servicer, and the Servicer must file the
claim with TERI accordingly.

      If the Servicer receives a Bankruptcy filing under chapter 11 or 13, or
under Chapter 7 with an adversary action noted in the filing, then upon the
dismissal, discharge or the close of the case TERI may request a claim recall on
the account. Upon receipt of the recall request from TERI, the Servicer will
bring the loan current by the use of an Administrative Forbearance and resume
normal billing activities. Administrative Forbearance is in addition to the six
months of forbearance requestable by a Borrower, and does not require any
minimum payment history before it can be granted.

      XI.   DEATH CLAIMS

      Upon receipt of acceptable notification* that the Borrower or Co-Borrower
has died, the Servicer must suspend any and all collection activity with respect
to the loan, as an administrative forbearance, for 60 days. If the Borrower in
whose name and Social Security number the account is listed has died, the
Servicer will de-convert and reconvert the loan under the other Borrower's name.

      *ACCEPTABLE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF DEATH

      -     Certified copy of the death certificate

      -     Letters testamentary or certificate of appointment of the executor /
            executrix of the estate, stamped and certified by the applicable
            court.

      -     Obituary from local newspaper

      All written notification must be received by TERI within sixty (60)
calendar days of receipt by the Servicer. If the Servicer receives verbal or
written notification that is not considered acceptable, the Servicer will still
provide TERI, within sixty (60) calendar days, with the written notification. In
instances where unacceptable information is received, the Servicer will continue
all collection activity as well as pursue all avenues to obtain acceptable
written notification.

      The Servicer will file a claim with TERI within sixty (60) calendar days
of receipt of the acceptable notification provided the loan(s) are single
signatory. In instances where there is more than one signatory, a claim will not
be filed to TERI, as the surviving signatory (s) is still obligated on the debt.

      Any payments that TERI receives from a deceased's Estate will be forwarded
to the Servicer to be applied to all applicable loan (s), provided the Servicer
has retained the servicing of the loan(s).

<PAGE>



      XII.  DISABILITY CLAIMS

      TERI does not offer disability claims. The Servicer will continue normal
servicing functions in accordance with TERI's servicing guidelines.

      XIII. APPEAL PERIOD FOR CLAIM REJECTS

      The Servicer will have 60 days to appeal a decision by TERI to reject a
claim for errors or omissions in the origination or servicing of the loan as
specified in these Guidelines. TERI will not reconsider a decision to deny a
claim if the appeal is not submitted within the allotted time. A new 60 Day
Appeal Period is started for each subsequent reject if the reject reason differs
from the initial reject reason(s); however, if the initial reject reasons(s) has
(have) not been addressed, the claim will be rejected without regard to
subsequent reject reasons. The 60-Day Appeal Period will start four (4) calendar
days after the "date shipped" of TERI's written rejection. TERI's written claim
rejection shall detail the reason(s) for such rejection.

      XIV.  CURE PROCEDURES

      If a claim has been rejected due to due diligence deficiencies, the
guaranty will be reinstated if:

      -     the Servicer collects from the Borrower sufficient payments to
            reduce the Borrower's delinquency, according to the Borrower's
            existing payment schedule, to less than 30 days; or

      -     the Servicer brings the Borrower back into repayment by capitalizing
            all accrued interest, applying administrative forbearance to
            eliminate any delinquency in principal and interest payments,
            redisclosing the loan with a new payment schedule, and collecting
            from the Borrower three consecutive, on-time payments according to
            such new schedule. For this second type of cure, at the time the
            Servicer files its request for reinstatement the loan must be within
            30 days of being current. For these purposes, a payment is
            considered "on time" if received no later than seven days after the
            agreed upon due date. In addition, the payment amounts actually
            received from the Borrower must be within a tolerance of no more
            than $5.00 of the established monthly payment.

      Nothing in these Guidelines requires a Servicer to submit a guaranty claim
that it knows will be rejected for due diligence deficiencies; the Servicer may
retain the account and attempt to restore the loan to current status.

      If a claim is rejected and it is later determined that a processing error
(e.g., application of forbearance to the wrong account number) made prior to the
claim filing date caused an incorrect delinquency and if corrected the loan
would be brought to less than 30 days delinquent, the loan can be recalled and
the rejected claim status removed.

      If a due diligence failure is cured by the second method stated above,
including capitalization of the accrued interest portion of some or all
delinquent payments, and if such loan subsequently defaults, TERI will not pay
such capitalized interest. A loan may be cured only once.

<PAGE>



      A loan may be cured for any servicing errors but not for an error in the
underwriting or origination of the loan.

      After the loan is cured, the Borrower will still qualify for any remaining
hardship forbearance that he or she may still be eligible to use.

                         GUIDELINE AMENDMENT PROCEDURES

      Any amendments, changes or revisions to these guidelines must be agreed to
by TERI, the Originator, the Lender and the Servicer in writing prior to
implementation, provided however that the Servicer's consent will not be
required for any amendment of the amount of any Borrower Guaranty Fee or Lender
Supplemental Guaranty Fee. Further, unless required by either state or federal
regulatory requirements, the introduction of any amendments, changes or
revisions to these guidelines will generally take place in the spring of each
year so that they will be in place for the upcoming academic year. In general
the effective dates for the changes will be June 1st. This will be considered
the loan program academic year. In no case will amendments, changes or revisions
to these guidelines be introduced later than June 1 of any year unless agreed to
by TERI, the Originator, the Lender and the Servicer.

      TERI will provide the Lender, Servicer and Originator with at least sixty
(60) days written notice of proposed Program Guidelines changes so as to allow
all of them time to review and comment on them. TERI will if requested meet with
any one or more of the Lender, Servicer and Originator shortly after the
expiration of the sixty-day review period in order to discuss the suggested
Program Guidelines changes. Comments concerning modifications or changes to the
suggested Program Guidelines may be accepted by TERI at its sole discretion. If,
within the 60-day period described above, or such longer period as TERI may
stipulate when it circulates proposed changes, TERI receives no comments from
any other party that would require revision of the proposed changes, the changes
will be deemed accepted and will become final and take effect as provided in
TERI's notice. If, however, TERI does receive comments that would require
revision, it will circulate a response, together with such revision as it deems
appropriate, and he Lender, Servicer and Originator will have sixty (60) days
from the date that they receive such response to either reject or accept the
revision, provided that none of them may unreasonably reject any proposed change
that does not affect the commercial expectations of the parties in entering into
the respective agreements between or among them. Their acceptance will be deemed
given if they do not reject the revision in this second 60-day period. All
notifications to TERI must be in writing.

      If the revised Program Guidelines are rejected by the Lender, Servicer, or
Originator, all parties will adhere to the previously adopted Program
Guidelines. If all parties agree (or are deemed to agree) to adopt the new,
revised Program Guidelines, the Servicer or Originator, as the case may be,
shall have at least sixty (60) days to implement new changes. If the Servicer
needs additional time to implement the agreed upon changes, the Servicer shall
notify both TERI and the Lender of the need for additional time setting forth
the reasons for such request. TERI and the Lender will not unreasonably deny the
Servicer's request for additional time unless the request is due to the
Servicer's negligence in the implementation of the agreed upon changes.

                            ESCROW ACCOUNT PROVISIONS

1.    ESTABLISHMENT OF RESERVE ACCOUNT. First Union shall establish and
      maintain, and under the circumstances described in Section 4(E) CFS shall
      be required to fund, a separate interest bearing account in the name of
      First Union and CFS and designated as the Reserve account (the "Reserve
      Account"). CFS shall have no right or claim to any amounts deposited in or
      otherwise credited to any Reserve Account except to the extent expressly
      set forth herein.

2.    REQUIRED RESERVE ACCOUNT PAYMENTS. In the event CFS has failed to provide
      documentation within the 30-day period under Section 4(E), CFS will
      deposit into the Reserve Account an amount calculated by First Union in
      accordance with Section 4(E) within 5 days of receiving notice of the same
      from First Union. In the event the amount deposited by CFS is less than
      the required amount, CFS shall, promptly upon being notified by First
      Union thereof (but in no event more than 2 Business Days thereafter),
      deposit into the Reserve Account funds in an amount not less than that
      required to remedy such deficiency.

3.    RIGHTS OF FIRST UNION IN RESERVE ACCOUNTS. First Union will hold all
      amounts deposited in or otherwise credited to the Reserve Account under
      First Union's sole, complete and unrestricted control as security for the
      full performance by CFS of its obligations to First Union now existing or
      hereafter arising under Section 4(H) of the Agreement. All such amounts
      deposited in or credited to the Reserve Account are hereby assigned to
      First Union and First Union is hereby granted a first priority security
      interest therein for that purpose. In the event CFS thereafter becomes
      obligated to make a reimbursement payment to First Union under Section
      4(H) (at the conclusion of the process described in Section 8(A)(1)) with
      respect to the affected Loan(s), First Union may, without notice to CFS,
      offset and apply all funds in the Reserve Accounts to the satisfaction of
      such obligations.

4.    INTEREST. All amounts deposited or credited in or to the Reserve Account
      shall be held in a First Union National Bank Money Market Savings Account,
      or another mutually agreed upon account at a First Union National Bank,
      and the Reserve Account shall accrue interest at the then current rate in
      effect from time to time. The parties acknowledge that the amounts
      deposited or credited in or to the Reserve Account are owned directly by
      CFS, subject to the pledge and other obligations created by this
      Agreement, and CFS hereby agrees to treat the same as its assets (and
      earnings) for federal and state income tax and all other purposes.

5.    RETURN OF FUNDS. First Union will withdraw and return to CFS amounts in
      the Reserve Account that relate to Loans, including any accrued interest
      thereon, upon the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) the
      Loans are paid-in-full by the Borrower, or (ii) the document deficiency
      identified pursuant to Section 4(E) with respect to such Loans is cured to
      Lender's satisfaction. First Union will withdraw and return such amounts
      within 5 days of the paid-in-full date or the date of cure.

                                 Application Fee

Per Application Fee

Lender will pay CFS a fee for each completed Application. The fee will be
calculated by multiplying the applicable rate against the balance of the
underlying loan amount consolidated (i.e., exclusive of any guarantee fees
charged to the borrower). The applicable rate is determined by the FICO score of
the primary borrower as set forth below. The applicable rate will be based on
the Average Application amount during the immediately preceding 6 calendar
months of Applications ("Measurement Period"). The Average Application amount
will be the sum of the amounts of all underlying loans included in all
Applications funded during such 6-month period, divided by the number of
Applications funded during such period. Lender will calculate and communicate
the Average Application amount within 2 Business Days after the end of each
calendar month.

Applicable Rate

Based upon the Average Application amount during the preceding Measurement
Period, the applicable rate paid in a month will be according to the following:
