-4-









 







be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer
of the Eligible Lender Trustee. An Excess Distribution Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Excess Distribution Certificate or did not hold such offices at
the date of authentication and delivery of such Excess Distribution Certificate.



     (b) Authentication. Concurrently with the sale of the Trust Student Loans to the
Trust pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall cause the Excess
Distribution Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or
upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its president or any vice president, without
further action by the Depositor. For all purposes hereunder, the Depositor shall be the Excess
Distribution Certificateholder. No Excess Distribution Certificate shall entitle its holder to any
benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such
Excess Distribution Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A, executed by the Eligible Lender Trustee or JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association,
as the Eligible Lender Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication
shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Excess Distribution Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Excess Distribution Certificate shall be dated the date
of its authentication. No further Excess Distribution Certificates shall be issued except pursuant
to paragraph (c) or (d) below.



     (c) Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Excess Distribution Certificate
Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to paragraph
(f) below, the Excess Distribution Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall provide for the registration of
the Excess Distribution Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Excess Distribution
Certificate as herein provided. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall be the initial Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar.



     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to paragraph (f) below, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. as its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new
Excess Distribution Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Eligible Lender Trustee or
any authenticating agent. At the option of the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Excess
Distribution Certificate may be exchanged for another Excess Distribution Certificate upon
surrender of the Excess Distribution Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to paragraph (f) below.



     An Excess Distribution Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature (other than for
transfers or exchanges to or among any Affiliates of the Depositor) guaranteed by a member firm of
the New York Stock Exchange or a commercial bank or trust company. An Excess



-5-









 







Distribution Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Eligible Lender Trustee in accordance with its
customary practice.



     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Excess
Distribution Certificate, but the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Excess Distribution Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Excess Distribution Certificate.



     The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall
not be required to make and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar need not register
transfers or exchanges of the Excess Distribution Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding any
Distribution Date with respect to the Excess Distribution Certificate.



     The Excess Distribution Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may not be
acquired by or for the account of (i) any Benefit Plan subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section
4975 of the Code, if such acquisition, or the management or servicing of the Trust or its assets,
would cause a non-exempt prohibited transaction in violation of Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section
4975 of the Code, (ii) any Benefit Plan subject to a substantially similar federal, state, local or
foreign law, if such acquisition would cause a non-exempt violation of such substantially similar
law, (iii) any person who is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code, or (iv) any “pass-thru entity” referred to in Section 1(h)(10)(D), (E) or (F) of the
Code, the income of which pass-thru entity is includible directly or indirectly through one or more
other such pass-through entities by any person referred to in clause (iii) above. By accepting and
holding the Excess Distribution Certificate, the holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented
and warranted that it is not acquiring the Excess Distribution Certificate by or for the account of
any entity in violation of the above restrictions, and to have agreed that if such restrictions are
violated, the holder will promptly dispose of the Excess Distribution Certificate.



     (d) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Excess Distribution Certificate. If (1) a
mutilated Excess Distribution Certificate shall be surrendered to the Excess Distribution
Certificate Registrar, or if the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Excess Distribution Certificate, and
(2) there shall be delivered to the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar and the Eligible
Lender Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the
Trust harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Excess Distribution Certificate shall have
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Eligible Lender Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall
execute and the Eligible Lender Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Excess Distribution Certificate, a new Excess
Distribution Certificate of like tenor. In connection with the issuance of any new Excess
Distribution Certificate under this Section, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Excess
Distribution Certificate issued pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute conclusive evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Excess Distribution Certificate shall be found at any time.



-6-









 





     (e) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of the Excess Distribution
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess Distribution
Certificate Registrar and any agent of either of them may treat the Person in whose name the Excess
Distribution Certificate shall be registered in the Excess Distribution Certificate Register as the
owner of such Excess Distribution Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions thereon
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar nor any agent thereof shall be bound by any notice to the
contrary.



     (f) Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall maintain in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where
the Excess Distribution Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Eligible Lender Trustee in respect of the Excess
Distribution Certificate may be served.



     (g) Appointment of Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent. The Excess
Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Excess Distribution
Certificateholder from the amounts received from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Sections 2.8(p)
and 2.9(f) of the Administration Agreement and shall report the amounts of such distributions to
the Indenture Trustee (if the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent is not the Indenture
Trustee). Any Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to
receive such funds from the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of making the distributions referred
to above. The Eligible Lender Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Excess Distribution
Certificate Paying Agent if the Eligible Lender Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the
Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under
this Agreement in any material respect. The Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall
initially be the Indenture Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Eligible Lender Trustee
and consented to by the Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The
Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent upon
30 days’ written notice to the Eligible Lender Trustee. In the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall no longer be the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, the Eligible Lender Trustee
shall appoint a successor to act as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a
bank or trust company). The Eligible Lender Trustee shall cause such successor Excess Distribution
Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent appointed
by the Eligible Lender Trustee to execute and deliver to the Eligible Lender Trustee an instrument
in which such successor Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent or additional Excess
Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Eligible Lender Trustee that as Excess
Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent
or additional Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it
for payment to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of such holder
until such sums shall be paid to such holder. The Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent
shall return all unclaimed funds to the Eligible Lender Trustee and upon removal of an Excess
Distribution Certificate Paying Agent such Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall also
return all funds in its possession to the Eligible Lender Trustee. The provisions of Articles VII
and VIII of the Indenture shall apply to the Indenture Trustee also in its role as Excess
Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as the Indenture Trustee shall act as Excess
Distribution



-7-









 







Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent
shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.



     (h) Restrictions on Transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate.




     (i) The Excess Distribution Certificate may be transferred to any Affiliate of the
Depositor, without any requirement to provide any officer’s certificates or legal opinions
that would otherwise be required if such proposed transfer was being made to a Person who is
not an Affiliate of the Depositor.




     (ii) Except as provided above, the Excess Distribution Certificate shall be sold,
pledged, transferred or assigned except as provided below:




               (A) The Excess Distribution Certificate has not been registered or qualified under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law. No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Excess Distribution Certificate or any
interest therein shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require
such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee each certify to
the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the
Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, in writing, the
facts surrounding the transfer. Such certifications shall be substantially in the forms of
Exhibit C hereto and Exhibit D-1 or D-2 hereto, as applicable. In the event that such a
transfer is to be made within two years from the date of the initial issuance of the Excess
Distribution Certificate pursuant hereto (other than a transfer as to which the proposed
transferee has provided a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-2), the Eligible Lender
Trustee in its sole discretion, may require that there shall also be delivered to the
Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator,
or, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, at the expense of the transferor,
an opinion of counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act and such state securities laws. Any such opinion of counsel shall not be an
expense of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the
Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor. None of the
Depositor, the Administrator or the Eligible Lender Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify the Excess Distribution Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer
of the Excess Distribution Certificate without registration or qualification. Any such
Excess Distribution Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate
Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor,
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is made in
accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

               (B) No transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate will be registered by the
Eligible Lender Trustee or the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar unless the
Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the
Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor receives a
representation from the proposed transferee of the Excess Distribution Certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or D-2, as the case may be, that such transferee is
not acquiring the Excess Distribution Certificate by or for the account of any entity in
violation of the restrictions set forth in the final paragraph of Section 3.3(c) above. If
any proposed transferee shall become an Excess Distribution Certificateholder in violation
of these provisions, then the last preceding permitted transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights as Excess Distribution Certificateholder, retroactive
to the date of registration of such transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate.
Neither the Eligible Lender Trustee nor the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar shall
have any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of the Excess Distribution
Certificate that is not permitted or for making any payments due on the Excess Distribution
Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any action with respect to such holder under
this Agreement. Any proposed transferee who becomes an Excess Distribution
Certificateholder shall agree to indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar, any Swap Counterparty, the Administrator, and, if it is
not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, against any loss, damage or penalty incurred as
a result of the transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate to such proposed transferee
in violation of such restrictions.




               (C) The prospective transferee shall be aware that the Excess Distribution Certificate
shall bear legends referring to the restrictions contained in sub-clauses (A) and (B) above
and by its acceptance of an Excess Distribution Certificate agrees to abide by such
restrictions.




               (D) The prospective transferee shall deliver an opinion of counsel addressed to the
Eligible Lender Trustee, any Swap Counterparty, the Administrator, and, if it is not the
proposed transferor, the Depositor, to the effect that, (1) as a matter of federal income
tax law, such prospective transferee is permitted to accept the transfer of the Excess
Distribution Certificate, (2) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the tax treatment
of the Trust, (3) such transfer or pledge would not subject the Trust to any entity-level
tax, (4) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the status of the Notes as debt for
all purposes, and (5) such pledge or transfer would not cause the Trust to be treated, for
federal income tax purposes, as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation.




               (E) No pledge or transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate shall be effective
unless such purchase or transfer is to a single beneficial owner.




     (iii) Any Excess Distribution Certificateholder, as evidenced by its agreement to
accept the rights conferred under the Excess Distribution Certificate, is hereby deemed to
accept all obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement.

is incomplete as to the course of action that the Eligible Lender Trustee is required to take with
respect to a particular set of facts, the Eligible Lender Trustee may give notice (in such form as
shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder
requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Eligible Lender Trustee acts or refrains from
acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Eligible Lender Trustee

the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action,
not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the

from



-18-









 







such Rating Agency that the appointment of such corporation or association to serve as
Eligible Lender Trustee will not result in and of itself in a reduction or withdrawal of the then
current rating of any of the Notes). If the Eligible Lender Trustee shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of the
Eligible Lender Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Eligible Lender

no successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Eligible Lender
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Eligible Lender Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to
petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Eligible
Lender Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such
successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written

successor Eligible Lender Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
Eligible Lender Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee.

Section 10.3, payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee and the
filing of a certificate of amendment to the Trust’s certificate of trust pursuant to Section

     SECTION 10.3 Successor Eligible Lender Trustee. Any successor Eligible Lender Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and
to its predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this

-19-









 







Eligible Lender Trustee shall become effective and such successor Eligible Lender Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally
named as Eligible Lender Trustee. The predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon payment of
its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee all documents, statements,
moneys and properties held by it under this Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the
successor Eligible Lender Trustee the lender identification number obtained from the Department on
behalf of the Trust; and the Administrator and the predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Eligible Lender Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.



     No successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall accept such appointment as provided in this Section
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall be eligible
pursuant to Section 10.1.



     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Eligible Lender Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Eligible Lender Trustee to
the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating
Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Eligible Lender Trustee, the successor Eligible Lender Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.



     SECTION 10.4 Merger or Consolidation of Eligible Lender Trustee. Any corporation or
association into which the Eligible Lender Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or
association succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Eligible
Lender Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the
successor of the Eligible Lender Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation or
association shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1; and provided further that
the Eligible Lender Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating
Agencies not less than 15 days prior to the effective date thereof and shall file an amendment to
the Certificate of Trust as required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.



     SECTION 10.5 Appointment of Co-Eligible Lender Trustee or Separate Eligible Lender
Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the
time be located, the Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Eligible Lender Trustee, meeting the eligibility requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) of
Section 10.1, to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Eligible Lender Trustee, or separate trustee
or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the
Eligible Lender Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have



-20-









 







joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the
Eligible Lender Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 10.1 and no notice of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.



     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:




     (i) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Eligible
Lender Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Eligible Lender
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Eligible
Lender Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Eligible Lender
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, solely at the direction of the Eligible Lender Trustee;




     (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and




     (iii) the Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.



     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be deemed to
have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given
to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to
this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Eligible Lender Trustee or separately, as may be
provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Eligible Lender Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Eligible
Lender Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.



     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Eligible Lender Trustee as its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do
any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Eligible
Lender Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.

     SECTION 11.1 Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the Excess
Distribution Certificateholder and the Eligible Lender Trustee, with prior written notice to the
Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct
or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or modifying in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that such action shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests

than a majority of the Class B Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the
rights of the Class A Noteholders or Class B Noteholders, as the case may be; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of,
or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Trust Student Loans or
distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of any class of Notes required to consent to any
such amendment, without the consent of all the outstanding Noteholders of such class.



     Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Eligible Lender Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Excess
Distribution Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.



     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents (and any other consents of provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document)
and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Eligible Lender Trustee may prescribe.



     Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall
be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and an Officer’s Certificate from the
Depositor stating that all conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment have been met or
otherwise satisfied. The Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into

The Excess Distribution Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive distributions with
respect to its undivided beneficial ownership interest therein only in accordance with Section 3.3
of this Agreement. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title, or interest
of the Excess Distribution Certificateholder to and in its beneficial ownership interest in the
Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any
transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust
Estate.




     SECTION 11.3 Limitations on Rights of Others. Except for Section 2.7, the provisions
of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Depositor, the

or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Estate or under this Agreement or any covenants,
conditions or provisions contained herein.



     SECTION 11.4 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms
hereof, all notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the intended

     SECTION 11.5 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.



     SECTION 11.6 Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



     SECTION 11.7 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, the Depositor and its successors, the Eligible
Lender Trustee and its successors, each Excess Distribution Certificateholder and its successors
and permitted assigns, all as herein provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or
other instrument or action by a Noteholder or the Excess Distribution Certificateholder shall bind
the successors and assigns of such holder.



     SECTION 11.8 No Petition.



     (a) Neither the Depositor, nor any other Excess Distribution Certificateholder (as evidenced
by acceptance of its Excess Distribution Certificate) will institute against the Trust, at



-23-









 







any time, any bankruptcy proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Excess Distribution Certificate, the
Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents. The foregoing shall not limit the
rights of the Depositor, nor any Excess Distribution Certificateholder to file any claim in, or
otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding that was instituted against
the Trust by a Person other than the Depositor or such other Excess Distribution Certificateholder.



     (b) The Eligible Lender Trustee (not in its individual capacity but solely as Eligible Lender
Trustee), by entering into this Agreement, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder by accepting
the Excess Distribution Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder by accepting the
benefits of this Agreement, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute

law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other
Basic Documents. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Eligible Lender Trustee to file
any claim in, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding that was
instituted against the Issuer by a Person other than the Eligible Lender Trustee.



     SECTION 11.9 No Recourse. Each Excess Distribution Certificateholder by accepting its
Excess Distribution Certificate acknowledges that such holder’s certificate represents beneficial
interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Administrator, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or, any Swap
Counterparty, any Remarketing Agent, any Affiliate thereof or any officer, director or employee of
any thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be
expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, an Excess Distribution Certificate or the
other Basic Documents.



     SECTION 11.10 Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are
for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED
