SECTION 2: GUARANTY OF LOANS

2.1      TERI hereby guarantees to the LENDER, unconditionally except as set
         forth in Section 2.2 below, the payment of 100% of the principal of and
         accrued interest on every Loan as to which a Guaranty Event has
         occurred. "Accrued interest" shall mean interest accrued and unpaid to
         the date of payment in full by TERI of a Guaranty Claim, less any
         interest that shall have accrued after the filing of a Guaranty Claim
         but before TERI shall have received all the documentation necessary to
         process the Guaranty Claim as set forth in the Program Guidelines. TERI
         will use all reasonable efforts to make payment on its guaranty within
         sixty (60) days, and will in any event make payment within ninety (90)
         days, of receipt by TERI of a Guaranty Claim from the LENDER stating
         the name of the Borrower and the type of Guaranty Event that has
         occurred accompanied by the full claim documentation required in the
         Program Guidelines.

2.2      TERI's guaranty is conditioned upon the following:

         a.       The LENDER must have filed its Guaranty Claim within the time
                  period and following the procedures specified in the Program
                  Guidelines.

         b.       The LENDER and its predecessors in interest must at all times
                  have exercised Due Diligence with respect to the Loan in
                  question (or shall have cured any failure to exercise Due
                  Diligence under the reinstatement provisions in Section 2.4
                  hereof and the Program Guidelines), and must have complied
                  with all other requirements of the Program Guidelines
                  applicable to the Loan.

         c.       The LENDER shall have paid to TERI the Initial Guaranty Fee
                  (as defined in Section 3.3.a. below) for the Loan in question,
                  and shall have paid to the Custodian any Subsequent Guaranty
                  Fee (as defined in Section 3.3.b. below) for the Loan in
                  question which is due and payable as provided in Section
                  3.3.b. below.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         d.       TERI must have received from the LENDER the original
                  Promissory Note relating to the Loan in question, enforceable
                  against the Borrower (except as provided in this Section
                  2.2.d., below), endorsed to TERI in such manner as to transfer
                  to TERI all rights in and title to such Promissory Note, free
                  and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and of all defenses,
                  counterclaims, offsets, and rights of rescission that might be
                  raised by the Borrower. Submission of a Guaranty Claim to TERI
                  shall constitute the LENDER's certification that the
                  conditions of 2.2.b. and 2.2.d. have been met, and TERI is
                  entitled to rely on such certification.

                  Subsections 2.2.b. and 2.2.d. above notwithstanding, if a Loan
                  that is the subject of a Guaranty Claim was originated by TERI
                  on behalf of the LENDER pursuant to a Loan Origination
                  Agreement between the parties, (i) TERI will not deny the
                  LENDER's Guaranty Claim on such Loan if the sole basis for
                  denial is a violation of the Program Guidelines or a violation
                  of Massachusetts or federal law committed by TERI in the
                  origination process, and (ii) TERI will have no recourse
                  against the LENDER in the event that TERI's actions or
                  omissions in the origination process shall have given rise to
                  a successful defense in favor of the Borrower in a suit on the
                  Promissory Note relating to such Loan.

2.3      TERI's guaranty obligation with respect to any Loan shall not be
         terminated or otherwise affected or impaired (i) by the LENDER's
         granting an extension of time to the Borrower to make scheduled
         payments, or by any other indulgence the LENDER may grant to the
         Borrower, provided that all extensions and other indulgences meet the
         forbearance standards and other requirements of the Program Guidelines;
         or, Section 2.2.d. above notwithstanding, (ii) because of any fraud in
         the execution of the Promissory Note relating to such Loan, (iii)
         because of any illegal or improper acts of the Borrower, or (iv)
         because the Borrower may be relieved of liability for such Loan due to
         lack of contractual capacity or any other statutory exemption.

2.4      TERI may deny the LENDER's Guaranty Claim on any Loan on the grounds of
         Due Diligence deficiencies. If TERI properly denies the LENDER's
         Guaranty Claim on any Loan on the grounds of Due Diligence
         deficiencies, the LENDER may thereafter require that TERI reinstate the
         guaranty of such Loan if (a) the LENDER corrects such deficiencies and
         receives four (4) consecutive full on-time monthly payments from the
         Borrower, according to any schedule permitted by the Program
         Guidelines, and if at the time of the LENDER's request the Borrower is
         within thirty (30) days of being current on all principal and interest
         payments on such Loan, or (b) the LENDER satisfies any other method of
         cure set forth in the Program Guidelines.

2.5      TERI's guaranty hereunder is a continuing and absolute guaranty of
         payment and not merely of collection, covering Loans made in accordance
         herewith either (i)

                                       4
<PAGE>

         prior to termination of this Agreement, or (ii) based upon applications
         received by the LENDER prior to such termination; and such termination
         shall not affect TERI's obligations to the LENDER then existing,
         whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, then due or
         thereafter to become due.

2.6      TERI agrees not to exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
         indemnity, contribution or the like against the Borrower of any Loan
         unless and until all of TERI's obligations to the LENDER under this
         Agreement with respect to such Loan have been satisfied in full, except
         to the extent that it is deemed a valid claimant as a contingent
         creditor, for example, under Title 11 of the United States Code (the
         "Bankruptcy Code"), or applicable state law.

2.7      TERI will permit the LENDER, any duly designated representative of the
         LENDER, or any governmental body having jurisdiction over the LENDER
         (subject to written notice being provided to TERI by the LENDER,
         identifying the requesting party and the date of the review), to
         examine and audit the books and records of TERI pertaining to the
         Loans, at any time during TERI's regular business hours, provided that
         in the case of examinations by the LENDER or its representative, absent
         good cause (i) TERI must be given ten (10) business days' prior written
         notice and, (ii) no more than one such audit may be conducted with
         respect to any twelve-month period or will take place in any
         twelve-month period. In no event will any audit be performed during
         July, August, September, or October in any year except at the request
         of a regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the LENDER.

2.8      TERI will indemnify the LENDER and hold it harmless from and against
         any loss, cost, damage or expense that the LENDER may suffer as a
         result of claims to the extent they arise out of TERI's actions or
         omissions relative to the LENDER's participation in the Program and do
         not arise out of the LENDER's actions or omissions. "Expense" includes,
         without limitation, the LENDER's reasonable attorney's fees. TERI will
         further indemnify the LENDER and hold it harmless from and against any
         claim brought against the LENDER by any Borrower based on actions or
         omissions of the LENDER that were mandated under the Program
         Guidelines.

2.9      Although the LENDER agrees not to use any loan servicer not approved by
         TERI, the LENDER acknowledges that TERI's approval of a servicer is in
         no way an endorsement of such servicer and that TERI shall have no
         liability to the LENDER for any losses arising from such servicer's
         failure to comply with Due Diligence or the Program Guidelines or
         applicable law, nor shall TERI be required to honor any claim submitted
         by such servicer if the claim does not comply with the requirements of
         this Agreement.

SECTION 3: OBLIGATIONS OF THE LENDER

3.1      In originating, servicing, disbursing, and collecting Loans, the LENDER
         will comply, and cause its servicer and others acting on its behalf to
         comply, at all times with all Program Guidelines (including Due
         Diligence requirements) and all applicable requirements of federal and
         state laws and regulations.

3.2      The LENDER will use Promissory Notes, Loan applications, disclosure
         statements, and other forms mutually agreeable to the parties. The
         forms of Promissory Notes, Loan applications and disclosure statement
         attached hereto as part of the Program Guidelines are agreed to be
         satisfactory to both parties. Without limiting the generality of
         Sections 3.1 and 4.1, the LENDER warrants the conformity of such
         instruments and any agreed successors thereto with all applicable legal
         requirements, other than those of federal and Massachusetts laws and
         regulations, and TERI warrants their conformity with Massachusetts and
         federal laws. In addition, upon TERI's request, the LENDER will submit
         to TERI sample copies of promotional and marketing materials used in
         connection with the Program. No such delivery of materials shall
         constitute or be construed as a representation or warranty by TERI that
         such materials comply with applicable law or with the LENDER's
         obligations under this Agreement, and no such delivery shall excuse the
         LENDER's performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

3.3      The LENDER will pay a guaranty fee for each Loan (the "Guaranty Fee")
         as follows:

         a.       At the time of each disbursement of the Loan, the LENDER will
                  promptly remit to TERI __________ percent (_____%) of the
                  principal amount of the Loan disbursed (the "Initial Guaranty
                  Fee").

         b.       At such times as are set forth in Schedule 3.3 attached hereto
                  and incorporated herein by reference, such additional fees as
                  are set forth in the fifth and sixth columns of Schedule 3.3
                  ("Subsequent Guaranty Fee").

                  i.       If the terms of Schedule 3.3 call for any Guaranty
                           Fees to be paid concurrent with the Securitization
                           Transaction, the LENDER shall pay such fees directly
                           (and be reimbursed in the Securitization Transaction
                           to the extent provided in the Note Purchase
                           Agreement).

                  ii.      In the event that a Guaranty Claim is made with
                           respect to a Loan before a Subsequent Guaranty Fee is
                           scheduled to be paid by the LENDER for such Loan, the
                           Subsequent Guaranty Fee shall become immediately due
                           and payable.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  iii.     In the event that a loan is prepaid in full prior to
                           the date that a Subsequent Guaranty Fee is scheduled
                           to be paid by the LENDER for such Loan, the
                           Subsequent Guaranty Fee shall nevertheless become due
                           and payable at the time that would have applied if
                           such prepayment had not occurred. For example, if a
                           Subsequent Guaranty Fee is due at the time of a
                           Securitization Transaction and a Loan is prepaid
                           before it is eligible for Securitization, then the
                           Subsequent Guaranty Fee with respect to such Loan
                           shall become due at the first Securitization
                           Transaction in which such Loan would have been
                           eligible for inclusion, had prepayment not occurred.

                  iv.      In the event that FMC fails to purchase any Loan
                           under the Note Purchase Agreement, and the LENDER
                           sells such Loan to a third party, the Guaranty Fees
                           due with respect to such loan at the time of a
                           Securitization Transaction will instead be paid by
                           the LENDER at the time the loan is sold to the third
                           party.

                  v.       In the event FMC has no further right or obligation
                           under the Note Purchase Agreement to purchase a Loan
                           in a Securitization Transaction, the LENDER shall pay
                           all Subsequent Guaranty Fees that are due to be paid
                           at the time of securitization as set forth in
                           Schedule 3.3. Such fees shall be payable (A) with
                           respect to any Loan already funded, within thirty
                           (30) days after presentation of an invoice by TERI to
                           the Lender, and (B) with respect to Loans funded
                           after the date of such invoice, at the time of
                           disbursement.

                  vi.      In the event that the LENDER fails to sell any Loan
                           to FMC because the LENDER has breached the Note
                           Purchase Agreement, the LENDER shall pay all
                           Subsequent Guaranty Fees that are due to be paid at
                           the time of securitization as set forth in Schedule
                           3.3. Such fees shall be payable directly to TERI and
                           shall not be subject to the Security Documents.

         c.       Failure to remit any Guaranty Fee within thirty (30) days of
                  the time set forth above will not affect the validity of the
                  guaranty for any Loan for which the Guaranty Fee has already
                  been paid in full, but, as a result, TERI will have the right,
                  at its discretion to (i) void its obligation to guarantee or
                  collect the Loan to which such Guaranty Fee relates or (ii)
                  collect the amount of any such Guaranty Fee and to add
                  interest at the rate of ________ percent (_____%) per annum
                  from the disbursement date of the Loan to which such Guaranty
                  Fee relates, plus any costs (including attorneys' fees and
                  expenses) incurred by TERI in collecting or attempting to
                  collect such Guaranty Fee from the LENDER.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         d.       Anything in the Program Guidelines to the contrary
                  notwithstanding, if the LENDER is required under the terms of
                  a Promissory Note to refund all or part of the Guaranty Fees
                  identified above to a Borrower, TERI will refund all or part
                  of the Initial Guaranty Fee it has received and the Custodian
                  will refund all or part of any Subsequent Guaranty Fee it has
                  received (in each case related to the refund to such Borrower)
                  to the LENDER upon being so advised by the LENDER in writing.

3.4      If TERI shall have purchased a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 above, the
         LENDER will promptly repurchase such Loan upon request from TERI if (i)
         TERI succeeds, after purchasing, in obtaining from the Borrower three
         full consecutive on-time monthly payments, according to any schedule
         permitted by the Program Guidelines, provided that on the date of
         TERI's notice to repurchase, the Borrower is within thirty (30) days of
         being current on his or her payments on such Loan, and provided further
         that this repurchase obligation may be invoked by TERI only once as to
         any Loan (in which case, the Loan shall be considered "rehabilitated");
         or (ii) if TERI should determine that the Loan does not meet the
         conditions set forth in subsections b., c. and d. of Section 2.2 above.
         With respect to the repurchase of any Guaranteed Loan pursuant to this
         Section 3.4, the repurchase price shall be equal to (1) the remaining
         unpaid principal balance of such Loan, plus (2) any accrued and unpaid
         interest thereon.

3.5      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the LENDER will (i) deliver
         to TERI such reports, documents, and other information concerning the
         Loans as TERI may reasonably require, and (ii) permit independent
         auditors, authorized representatives of TERI and governmental agencies,
         if any, having regulatory authority over TERI, to have access to the
         operational and financial records and procedures directly applicable to
         Loans and to the LENDER's participation in the Program. LENDER will
         cause its loan servicer to deliver to TERI such reports, documents, and
         other detailed information concerning each Loan as TERI may reasonably
         require. [LENDER shall provide a monthly report containing the
         information set forth on Exhibit B hereto at LENDER's expense]; TERI
         shall arrange directly with the loan servicer to receive the report.
         Any other reporting or information shall be provided upon TERI's
         agreement to reimburse LENDER for its incremental cost of such report.

3.6      If the LENDER should violate any term of this Agreement, it will be
         liable to TERI for all loss, cost, damage or expense sustained by TERI
         as a result. The LENDER will indemnify TERI and hold it harmless from
         and against all loss, cost, damage or expense that TERI may suffer as a
         result of claims to the extent they arise out of the LENDER's actions
         or omissions relative to the LENDER's participation in the Program
         unless such actions or omissions are specifically required by this
         Agreement, and do not arise out of TERI's actions or omissions. The
         LENDER will similarly indemnify TERI with respect to any defenses
         arising from the LENDER's violation of or failure to comply with any
         law, regulation or order, or any term of this Agreement, that may be
         raised by a Borrower to any suit

                                       8

         upon a Promissory Note. "Expense" includes, without limitation, TERI's
         reasonable attorney's fees.

SECTION 4: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1      Each party represents and warrants to the other that its execution,
         delivery and performance of this Agreement are within its power and
         authority, have been authorized by proper proceedings, and do not and
         will not contravene any provision of law or such party's organizational
         documents or by-laws or contravene any provision of, or constitute an
         event of default or an event which, with the lapse of time or with the
         giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default, under
         any other agreement, instrument or undertaking by which such party is
         bound. Each party represents and warrants that it has and will maintain
         in full force and effect all licenses required under applicable state,
         federal, local or other law for the conduct of all activities
         contemplated by this Agreement and comply with all requirements of such
         applicable law relative to its licenses and the conduct of all
         activities contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement and all of
         its terms and provisions are and shall remain the legal and binding
         obligation of the parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms
         subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws. The warranties given herein
         shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4.2      The parties acknowledge that TERI is not an insurer or reinsurer and
         the LENDER expressly waives all claims it might otherwise have under
         applicable law were TERI to be held by any court or regulatory agency
         to be acting as an insurer or reinsurer hereunder. The only obligations
         of TERI to the LENDER shall be those expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 5: MISCELLANEOUS

5.1      Neither party is or will hold itself out to be the agent, partner, or
         joint venturer of the other party with regard to any transaction under
         or pursuant to this Agreement.

5.2      Each party's respective rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and
         discretions ("Rights and Remedies") shall be cumulative and not
         exclusive. No delay or omission by either party in exercising or
         enforcing any of its Rights and Remedies shall operate as to constitute
         a waiver of them. No waiver by a party of any default under this
         Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent or other default
         under this Agreement. No single or partial exercise by a party of any
         of its Rights and Remedies shall preclude the other of further exercise
         of such Rights and Remedies. No waiver or modification by a party of
         the Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a
         continuing waiver. A party may exercise its various Rights and Remedies
         at such time or times and in such order of preference as it in its sole
         discretion may determine. In no event will either party be liable to
         the other for special, incidental, or consequential damages, including
         but not limited to lost profits, even if advised in advance of the
         possibility of the

                                       9
<PAGE>

         same, or for punitive or exemplary damages, provided that such
         exclusions shall not apply to the indemnification against an award of
         such damages pursuant to a third party claim.

5.3      This Agreement (including the Program Guidelines and all exhibits and
         schedules hereto), together with (i) the Security Documents and (ii)
         the Loan Origination Agreement, of even date herewith, between TERI and
         the LENDER ((i) and (ii) together, the "Ancillary Agreements"),
         represents the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
         subject matter hereof. This Agreement, together with any
         contemporaneous contract concerning credit analysis and the Ancillary
         Agreements, supersedes all prior communications whatsoever between the
         parties relative in any way to Loans or the LENDER's participation in
         the Program. This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement
         of the parties hereto, except as may otherwise be set forth herein.

5.4      Any determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid,
         illegal, or unenforceable in any respect shall not affect the validity,
         legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other instance and
         shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other
         provision of this Agreement.

5.5      Each of the parties will timely implement, if it has not already, and
         will maintain, a reasonable disaster recovery plan. Subject to the
         foregoing, no party hereto shall be responsible for, or in breach of
         this Agreement if it is unable to perform as a result of delays or
         failures due to any cause beyond its control, howsoever arising, and
         not due to its own act or negligence and that cannot be overcome by the
         exercise of due diligence. Such causes shall include, but not be
         limited to, labor disturbances, riots, fires, earthquakes, floods,
         storms, lightning, epidemics, wars, hostilities, terrorist acts, civil
         disorder, expropriation or confiscation of property, failure or delay
         by carriers, interference by civil and military authorities whether by
         legal proceeding or in fact and whether purporting to act under some
         constitution, decree, law or otherwise, acts of God and perils of the
         sea.

5.6      This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
         the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the
         conflict of laws provisions thereof.

5.7      This Agreement will be binding on the parties' respective successors
         and assigns. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.7, this
         Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the other's
         written consent.

         a.       The LENDER may, without TERI's consent, assign any Loan,
                  together with the provisions hereof as applicable to such
                  Loan, to another entity participating in the Program, or to an
                  SPE formed by the LENDER, in each case upon written notice to
                  TERI.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         b.       TERI specifically acknowledges that FMC or an SPE sponsored by
                  FMC is expected to purchase some or all of the Loans, and this
                  Agreement shall inure to the benefit of FMC or any such SPE
                  upon such purchase. No notice of such purchase or consent to
                  the assignment of the LENDER's rights under this Agreement in
                  connection with a purchase of some or all of the Loans by FMC
                  or any SPE sponsored by FMC shall be necessary.

         c.       In assigning any Loan and its rights under this Agreement
                  relating to such Loan in accordance with Section 5.7(a), (i)
                  the LENDER's written notice to TERI must be made within thirty
                  (30) days after said assignment and must identify each Loan to
                  which such assignment relates, and (ii) TERI will fully
                  cooperate with any Securitization Transaction or other sale of
                  a portfolio of Loans, provided it is given thirty (30) days
                  advance written notice of the date that information or
                  documents are required of it and provided that its reasonable
                  legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such
                  transaction are reimbursed by the seller of such Loans.

         d.       Except for any assignment hereunder to FMC or any SPE
                  sponsored by FMC in connection with a purchase of Loans as
                  described in subsection b. above, no assignment of Loans or
                  the LENDER's rights hereunder without TERI's express written
                  consent shall release the LENDER from any liability to TERI
                  under this Agreement arising out of the LENDER's ownership of
                  such Loans (whether arising prior to, as a result of or after
                  the sale of such Loans by the LENDER) including, without
                  limitation, the LENDER's obligation to pay any unpaid Guaranty
                  Fees and to repurchase Loans pursuant to Section 3.4.

         e.       The Lender acknowledges that TERI has outsourced or
                  subcontracted some or all of its administrative functions,
                  including but not limited to the processing of guarantee
                  claims, to First Marblehead Education Resources, Inc. In
                  addition, the Lender acknowledges that TERI has subcontracted
                  and may hereafter subcontract any administrative obligations
                  necessary or convenient to TERI to perform its obligations
                  hereunder, and that such subcontracts do not and shall not
                  require the consent of the LENDER. Such outsourcing or
                  subcontracting shall not relieve TERI of its obligations under
                  this Agreement.

5.8      Notice for any purpose hereunder may be given by any means requiring
         receipt signature, or by facsimile transmission confirmed by first
         class mail. In the case of TERI, notices should be sent to its
         President, and if by fax, to (617) 451-9425. In the case of the LENDER,
         notices should be sent to its , and if by fax, to . Either party may
         from time to time change the person, address or fax number for notice
         purposes by formal notice to the other party.

5.9      [For the [PROGRAM NAME], TERI has established a system of risk-based
         pricing based on tiered guaranty fees and/or tiered interest rates that
         correspond to the actual risk of lending to borrowers with lesser
         creditworthiness ("Risk-Based

                                       11
<PAGE>

         Pricing") The Risk-Based Pricing system is set forth in the Program
         Guidelines attached hereto. TERI bases Risk-Based Pricing upon the
         projected net cost of defaults, which TERI believes provides business
         justification for the pricing levels set forth in the Risk-Based
         Pricing it has offered to LENDER. Any representation or warranty of
         compliance with federal or state law made by TERI in this Guaranty
         Agreement, or the Loan Origination Agreement between the parties of
         same date, that may relate to Risk-Based Pricing does not extend beyond
         the pricing actually included in the Program Guidelines attached
         hereto.]

SECTION 6: CHANGES TO PROGRAM GUIDELINES

The parties agree that the Program Guidelines will need to be updated and
modified from time to time to respond to changed conditions. The parties intend
to make such modifications in a manner that does not interfere with the ordinary
advertising and origination cycle for education loans. Amendments necessary to
meet state or federal regulatory requirements may be made at any time. With
respect to all other changes, the parties shall exchange requests for
modification of the Program Guidelines, including without limitation any
requested changes to the provisions of the Program Guidelines concerning the
Guaranty Fees, in the first part of the first calendar quarter of each year.
Each party shall respond in writing to proposals from the other within thirty
(30) days, and both parties will attempt to resolve any differences within
thirty (30) days after receiving a response to a request. All modifications must
be mutually acceptable. Any modifications approved by the parties and not
requiring system adjustments by the LENDER's loan servicer shall take effect
within thirty (30) days after approval. Modifications requiring system
adjustments by the LENDER's loan servicer shall take effect as soon after
approval as such servicer shall be able to adjust its systems to accept loans
made on the modified terms, and the LENDER agrees to take such actions as are
reasonably necessary to ensure that such servicer adjusts its systems as
promptly as practicable. The parties shall use their best efforts to conclude
all negotiations of proposed changes prior to May 1 of each year. The foregoing
process shall not apply to modification of the Servicing Guidelines, which are
subject to the modification process contained therein.

SECTION 7: TERM AND TERMINATION

7.1      The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on[______], and shall
         continue until the first anniversary of such date. Thereafter, this
         Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms
         unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal and
         termination not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the
         then-current term.

7.2      In the event that the parties are unable to agree on a proposed
         modification to the Program Guidelines as provided in Section 6, above,
         the party proposing the modification shall have the option of
         terminating this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice of
         termination to the other party, provided that the party desiring to
         exercise this option to terminate does so within thirty (30)

                                       12
<PAGE>

         days of the end of the thirty (30) day period provided in Section 6 for
         the resolution of any differences.

7.3      To the extent permitted by applicable law, if either party should
         become subject to bankruptcy, receivership, or other proceedings
         affecting the rights of its creditors generally, the party becoming
         subject to such proceedings will promptly notify the other party
         thereof, and this Agreement will be deemed terminated immediately upon
         the initiation of such proceedings without the need of notice to the
         other party.

7.4      Termination shall be prospective only and shall not affect the
         obligations of the parties hereto which were incurred prior to such
         termination or any of the warranties and indemnities contained herein
         or the provisions of Section 8 below (regarding confidentiality). Not
         less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination,
         TERI may, by additional notice to the Lender, terminate its obligation
         to assume the guaranty of all or any subset of otherwise qualifying
         Loans as to which a commitment to lend is made after the Lender's
         receipt of such additional notice. In the absence of such additional
         notice TERI will, subject to the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement, assume the guaranty of all Loans as to which a commitment to
         lend is made prior to the effective date of termination. In the event
         this Agreement terminates or expires and only one disbursement of a
         multi-disbursement loan has been made prior to that date, the other
         disbursement will also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of this
         Agreement.

SECTION 8: CONFIDENTIALITY; RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF INFORMATION

8.1      During the course of negotiating this Agreement and hereafter during
         the pendency of this Agreement, the parties from time to time may have
         revealed or may hereafter reveal to each other certain information
         concerning their respective business plans, business methods, financial
         data and projections, and/or information that is not generally known in
         the student loan industry, including, without limitation, the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement. All the foregoing is referred to herein
         as "Confidential Information." In TERI's case, its Confidential
         Information also includes, but is not limited to, information
         concerning the operation of its telephone and on-line loan applications
         procedures, and its online credit scoring system. Each party will use
         reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of Confidential
         Information contained herein or disclosed to it by the other party,
         such efforts to be not less vigilant than those that such party uses to
         protect its own proprietary information. The foregoing is subject to
         the following qualifications:

         a.       No party will be so bound with respect to information that is
                  or becomes public knowledge in the student loan industry (but
                  if it does so through any fault of such party that fault will
                  be considered a material breach of this Agreement);

                                       13
<PAGE>

         b.       No party will be so bound with respect to information that is
                  now or hereafter comes into its possession by its own
                  documented independent efforts or from a third party who, so
                  far as the recipient party has reason to believe, is under no
                  comparable restriction with respect to such information;

         c.       Either party may disclose Confidential Information to its
                  attorneys, auditors, agents, and consultants who are bound to
                  maintain the confidentiality of such information;

         d.       Either party may disclose Confidential Information in the
                  context of any regulatory review of its operations or as
                  compelled by law, regulation, or court order, provided that in
                  the context of a court order the party required to disclose
                  will (i) give the other party prompt written notice upon
                  learning of the requirement so that the other party may take
                  appropriate action to prevent or limit the disclosure, (ii)
                  consult with the other party and use all reasonable efforts to
                  agree on the nature, form, timing and content of the
                  disclosure, (iii) except as otherwise agreed under (ii),
                  disclose no more than its counsel advises is legally required,
                  and (iv) inform the Court and all counsel concerned that such
                  information is and should be treated as confidential

                                  ARTICLE III

                   TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTEREST

         Section 3.01 ISSUANCE OF TRUST CERTIFICATE.

         (a) As of the date hereof, as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto,
the Depositor has been issued a Trust Certificate evidencing 75% of the
Beneficial Interest in the Trust and TERI has been issued a Trust Certificate
evidencing 25% of the Beneficial Interest in the Trust.

         (b) Each Trust Certificate shall be executed by manual signature on
behalf of the Owner Trustee by one of its Authorized Officers. Trust
Certificates bearing the manual signature of an individual who was, at the time
when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner
Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to
be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Certificate or does not
hold such office at the date of such Trust Certificate. Each Trust Certificate
shall be dated the date of its issuance.

         Section 3.02 REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES.

         (a) The Owner Trustee shall maintain at its office referred to in
Section 2.02, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in
writing by the Owners at the time of such appointment, a register for the
registration and Transfer of Trust Certificates. No Transfer of a Beneficial
Interest shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and state securities laws, or is exempt from the registration
requirements under the 1933 Act and state securities laws.

         (b) The registered Owner of any Trust Certificate may Transfer all or
any portion of the Beneficial Interest evidenced by such Trust Certificate upon
surrender thereof to the Owner Trustee accompanied by the documents required by
Section 3.04. Such Transfer may be made by the registered Owner in person or by
its attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of the Trust Certificate
to the Owner Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer and with
such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the
instrument of Transfer as the Owner Trustee may reasonably require. Promptly
upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Owner Trustee of the
transferor's Trust Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall (i) record the name of
such transferee as an Owner and its Percentage Interest in the Trust Certificate
register and (ii) issue, execute and deliver to such Owner a Trust Certificate
evidencing such Percentage Interest. In the event a transferor Transfers only a
portion of its Beneficial Interest, the Owner Trustee shall register and issue
to such transferor a new Trust Certificate evidencing such transferor's new
Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a Transfer and upon the issuance of the new
Trust Certificate or Trust Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cancel and
destroy the Trust Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such
Transfer. The Owner Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Trust
Certificate is registered as the sole Owner of the Beneficial Interest in the
Trust evidenced by such Trust Certificate.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         (c) As a condition precedent to any registration of Transfer, the Owner
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any
tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection
with such Transfer and any other reasonable expenses connected therewith.

         Section 3.03 LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. If (i)
any mutilated Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or (ii) the
Owner Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction that any Trust Certificate
has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be requested
by the Owner Trustee to save it harmless, the Owner Trustee shall execute and
deliver a new Trust Certificate for the same Percentage Interest as the Trust
Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, of like tenor and bearing a
different issue number, with such notations, if any, as the Owner Trustee shall
determine. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under
this Section 3.03, the Owner Trustee may require the payment by the registered
Owner thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee) connected therewith. Any
replacement Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of a Beneficial
Interest, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

         Section 3.04 LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS.

         (a) No Transfer of all or any part of a Beneficial Interest shall be
made to any Person unless (i) such Person delivers to the Owner Trustee an
accession agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 hereof, (ii) except
for the initial transfer of the Beneficial Interest of the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee shall have received a written opinion of counsel in form and substance
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee stating that such Transfer is exempt from the
1933 Act and any applicable state securities law.

         (b) At any time that there is more than one Owner, no Transfer of a
Beneficial Interest shall be valid unless the Owner making such Transfer shall
have received the prior written consent to such Transfer of the Owners holding
at least 80% of both the Percentage Interests and the Sharing Ratios in the
Trust at such time, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in calculating the total Beneficial Interests in the Trust there
shall be excluded the Beneficial Interest owned by the transferor or (unless the
transferor and its Affiliates are the only Owners) any Affiliate thereof.

         (c) Except for the initial issuance of the Trust Certificates to the
Depositor, no Transfer shall be valid if, as a result of such Transfer, (i) any
Person would have a Percentage Interest or a Sharing Ratio of 100%, considering
for such purpose all interests owned by any Affiliate of such Person as owned by
such Person, or (ii) such Transfer would result in a termination of the Trust
for Federal income tax purposes.

         (d) No Transfer of all or any part of a Beneficial Interest shall be
made to any employee benefit plan or certain other retirement plans and
arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh
plans and bank collective investment funds and

                                       12

arrangements are invested, that are subject to Title I of ERISA, or Section 4975
of the Code (each, a "Plan"), any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring the Beneficial Interest with
"plan assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless the Owner Trustee
is provided with an opinion of counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of
the Owner Trustee that the purchase of the Beneficial Interest is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Owners, the Owner Trustee or the Trust to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which opinion of counsel shall not be an
expense of the Owners, the Owner Trustee or the Trust.

         (e) No Transfer of all or any part of a Beneficial Interest shall be
permitted, and no such transfer shall be effective hereunder, if such transfer
would cause the Trust to be classified as a publicly traded partnership, taxable
as a corporation for federal income tax purposes by causing the Trust to have
more than 100 Owners at any time during the taxable year of the Trust.

         Section 3.05 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTIONS. An Owner may assign
all or any part of its right to receive distributions hereunder, but such
assignment (in the absence of a permitted Transfer) shall effect no change in
the ownership of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONCERNING THE OWNERS

         any action, in furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above, a
         "Bankruptcy Action"). No Owner shall have the power to take, and no
         Owner shall take, any Bankruptcy Action with respect to the Trust or
         direct the Owner Trustee to take any Bankruptcy Action with respect to
         the Trust.

specified in this Agreement or in any instructions delivered in accordance with
this Article IV or Article VIII; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Owner Trustee shall

terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust or the
Owner Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law, (ii) is likely to
result in personal liability on the part of the Owner Trustee, unless the Owners

affect the status of the Trust as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.

taking any action contrary to this Agreement or any Trust Related Agreement, nor

respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or
other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political

this Agreement shall be effective if signed by the Super-majority Owners at the
time of the delivery of such notice.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                  ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS; DISTRIBUTIONS

         Section 7.01 PROFIT. After giving effect to special allocations set
forth in Section 7.03 and Section 7.04, Profit for any Fiscal Year shall be
allocated to the Owners in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

         Section 7.02 LOSS. After giving effect to the special allocations set
forth in Sections 7.03 and 7.04, Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated as
follows:

         (a) SPECIAL ALLOCATION OF LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NOTE DEFAULTS ON TERI
GUARANTEED LOANS. To the extent of any positive balance in TERI's Capital
Account as an Owner, TERI shall be specially allocated all Losses for such
Fiscal Year resulting from defaults, as determined pursuant to the TERI Guaranty
Agreements, on the TERI Guaranteed Loans owned by the Trust to the extent that
the Trust is not reimbursed such Losses by TERI as a guaranty payment pursuant
to the TERI Guaranty Agreements.

         (b) OTHER LOSS. All Loss not allocated pursuant to Section 7.02(a)
shall be allocated to the Owners in proportion to their Sharing Ratios.

         (c) EFFECT OF ADJUSTED CAPITAL ACCOUNT DEFICIT. The Loss allocated
pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and (b) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Loss
that can be so allocated without causing any Owner to have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of
the Owners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an
allocation of Loss pursuant to Section 7.02(a) and (b), the limitation set forth
in this Section 7.02(c) shall be applied on an Owner by Owner basis so as to
allocate the maximum permissible Loss to each Owner under section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

         (d) REMAINING LOSS. In the event that there is any remaining Loss in
excess of the limitation set forth in Section 7.02(c), such remaining Loss shall
be allocated among the Owners in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         Section 7.03 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS.

         (a) MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. Except as otherwise provided in section
1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 7.03, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any
Fiscal Year, each Owner shall be specially allocated items of Trust income and
gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an
amount equal to such Owner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum
Gain, determined in accordance with section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations.
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Owner pursuant thereto. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with sections
1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 7.03(a) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in section
1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

         (b) OWNER MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. Except as otherwise provided in
section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 7.03, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year,
each Owner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent
Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in
Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse
Debt, determined in accordance with section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations.
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 7.03(b) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in section
1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

         (c) QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. In the event any Owner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of
the Regulations, items of Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated to
the Owner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent
required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Owner
as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section
7.03(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Owner would have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in
this Article VII have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.03(c) were not
in this Agreement.

         (d) NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year
shall be specially allocated among the Owners in proportion to their Sharing
Ratios.

         (e) PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions
for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Owner who bears the
economic risk of loss with

                                       19
<PAGE>

respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the
Regulations.

         (f) MANDATORY ALLOCATIONS UNDER SECTION 704(C) OF THE CODE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.03, in the event
section 704(c) of the Code or section 704(c) of the Code principles applicable
under section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations require allocations of
income, gain, deduction or loss in a manner different than that set forth above,
the provisions of section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder
shall control such allocations. Any item of Trust income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) that has been
contributed by a Partner to the capital of the Trust or which has been revalued
for Capital Account purposes pursuant to section 1.744-1(b)(2)(iv) of the
Regulations and which is required to be allocated to such Partner for income tax
purposes under section 704(c) of the Code so as to take into account the
variation between the tax basis of such property and its fair market value at
the time of its contribution shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes
in the manner required or permitted under section 704(c) of the Code using the
"traditional method" described in section 1.704-3(b) of the Regulations,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that curative allocations consisting of the special
allocation of gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of the contributed
property shall be made in accordance with section 1.704-3(c) of the Regulations
to the extent necessary to eliminate any disparity, to the extent possible,
between the Partners' book and tax Capital Accounts attributable to such
property; FURTHER PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any other method allowable under
applicable Regulations may be used for any contribution of property as to which
there is agreement between the contributing Partner and the Administrator.

         (g) GROSS INCOME ALLOCATION. In the event any Owner has an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit, such Owner shall be specially allocated items of Trust
income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided
that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.03(g) shall be made only if and to
the extent that such Owner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after
all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.03 have been made as if
Sections 7.03(c) and 7.03(g) were not in this Agreement.

         Section 7.04 CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in
Sections 7.02 and 7.03(a) through (e) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are
intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the
intent of the Owners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations
shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special
allocations of other items of Trust income, gain, loss, or deduction. Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), offsetting special allocations of Trust income, gain,
loss, or deduction shall be made so that, after such offsetting allocations are
made, each Owner's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to
the Capital Account balance such Owner would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Trust items were allocated
pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02. In making such offsetting allocations, there
shall be taken into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 7.03(a)
and (b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory
Allocations previously made under Section 7.03(d) and (e).

                                       20
<PAGE>

         Section 7.05 OTHER ALLOCATION RULES.

         (a) For purposes of determining the Profit, Loss, or any other items
allocable to any period, Profit, Loss, and any such other items shall be
determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Owner
Trustee, under the direction of the Super-majority Owners, using any method
permissible under section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

         (b) The Owners are aware of the income tax consequences of the
allocations made by this Article VII and hereby agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Article VII in reporting their shares of Trust income and
loss for income tax purposes.

         (c) Solely for purposes of determining an Owner's proportionate share
of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Trust within the meaning of
section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, the Owners' interests in Trust profits
are in proportion to their Sharing Ratios.

         (d) To the extent permitted by section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the
Regulations, the Owner Trustee shall endeavor to treat distributions of Net Cash
Flow as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a
Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause
or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Owner.

         Section 7.06 DISTRIBUTION OF NET CASH FLOW. Except to the extent
prohibited by any other agreement to which the Trust is a party or is otherwise
bound, Net Cash Flow on each Distribution Date shall be distributed on such
Distribution Date to each Owner in an amount equal to (i) the Profit allocated
to such Owner under this Article VII and not previously distributed to such
Owner less (ii) the amount of Losses allocated to such Owner to the extent such
Losses were not applied in reduction of the amount of any previous distribution
of Net Cash Flow to such Owner and less (iii) with respect to a distribution to
TERI, the amount of money paid to TERI by the Trust in accordance with paragraph
4 of the Section 2.05 Supplement to Master Loan Guaranty Agreement between TERI
and The First Marblehead Corporation dated April 30, 2001, as amended. All
payments to be made under this Agreement by the Owner Trustee shall be made only
from the income and proceeds of the Trust Property and only to the extent the
Owner Trustee has received such income or proceeds.

         Section 7.07 DISTRIBUTION DATE STATEMENT. With each distribution to an
Owner pursuant to Section 7.06, the Owner Trustee shall deliver a Distribution
Date Statement setting forth, for the period since the preceding Distribution
Date:

                  (a) Income and proceeds received by the Owner Trustee with
         respect to the Trust Property;

                  (b) Amounts paid to the Owner Trustee;

                  (c) Amounts paid to any Person pursuant to a Trust Related
         Agreement; and

                  (d) Amounts paid for other expenses of the Trust.

         Section 7.08 ALLOCATION OF TAX LIABILITY. In the event that any tax is
imposed on the Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the Owners in

                                       21
<PAGE>

proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios. The Owner Trustee is hereby
authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners
sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and then actually pay,
such tax as is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not
prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings).

         Section 7.09 METHOD OF PAYMENT. All amounts payable to an Owner
pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Owner Trustee to such Owner or a
nominee therefor by check payable to such Owner, mailed first class to the
address of such Owner appearing on the register maintained pursuant to Section
3.02, or by crediting the amount to be distributed to such Owner to an account
maintained by such Owner with the Owner Trustee or by transferring such amount
by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a banking institution with
bank wire transfer facilities for the account of such Owner, as instructed in
writing from time to time by such Owner. The Owner Trustee may require an Owner
to pay any wire transfer fees incurred in connection with any wire transfer made
to such Owner.

         Section 7.10 NO SEGREGATION OF FUNDS; NO INTEREST. Subject to Sections
2.03(b)(ii) and 5.01, funds received by the Owner Trustee hereunder need not be
segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law and may be
deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the
Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

         Section 7.11 INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF PROVISIONS BY THE
ADMINISTRATOR. The Owner Trustee shall appoint and authorize the Administrator
to interpret and apply the provisions set forth in Articles V, VI, VII and XI
regarding application of funds, allocations of Profit and Loss and Distributions
of Net Cash Flow, to resolve any ambiguities that may result from such
application and to provide the Owner Trustee and the Owners with clarification
of any provision as may be necessary or appropriate. The determinations of the
Administrator shall be binding upon the Owners.

         Section 8.05 SIGNATURE OF RETURNS. The Owner Trustee shall sign on
behalf of the Trust the tax returns and other Periodic Filings of the Trust,
unless applicable law requires an Owner to sign such documents, in which case,
so long as the Depositor is an Owner and applicable law allows the Depositor to

course of action which the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as

instructions and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have acted or
refrained from acting in good faith in accordance with any instructions received
from the Owners, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action
or inaction to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instructions within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter
period of time as may be specified in such notice) the Owner Trustee may, but
shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the Trust Related Agreements, as the Owner

deal with the Trust Property, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any
action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which
the Owner Trustee or the Trust is a party, except as expressly provided by the
terms of this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees
that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be
necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Property which result
from claims against the Owner Trustee personally that are not related to the
ownership or the administration of the Trust Property or the transactions
contemplated by the Trust Related Agreements.

         Section 8.08 NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS OR

treated as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax
purposes.

been appointed as provided above. Any successor Owner Trustee so appointed by
such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any
successor Owner Trustee appointed as above provided within one year from the
date of the appointment by such court.

         (b) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and
deliver to the predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon such successor Owner Trustee, without further act
(except for the filing required under clause (e) below), shall become vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trust of the
predecessor Owner Trustee in the trusts hereunder with like effect as if
originally named the Owner Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written
request of such successor Owner Trustee and the payment of all fees and
indemnities due the predecessor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Owner
Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and trusts of such predecessor Owner Trustee, and such
predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to
such successor Owner Trustee all funds or other property then held or
subsequently received by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein
expressed.

         (c) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall be a bank or
trust company (i) that meets the requirements of (A) Rule 3(a)(7) promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (B) section 3807 of
the Statutory Trust Statute and (ii) whose parent entity has a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, if there be such an institution willing,
able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Owner Trustee hereunder
upon reasonable or customary terms.

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be
a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of
Section 12.01(c), be the Owner Trustee under this Agreement without further act.

shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State
reflecting the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner
Trustee.

         Section 12.02 APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES. At any time or
times for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in

Trustee and the Administrator, acting jointly, by an instrument in writing, may
appoint one or more individuals or corporations approved by the Administrator
and the Owner Trustee to act as separate trustee or separate trustees of all or
any part of the Trust Property to the full extent that local law makes it
necessary or appropriate for such separate trustee or separate trustees to act
alone. If the Administrator shall not have joined

                                       29

         (a) This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed
by the Owner Trustee and all of the Owners at the time of such amendment and
upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition (as defined in the Indenture);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, in the opinion of the Owner Trustee, any instrument
required to be so executed adversely affects any right, duty or liability of, or
immunity or indemnity in favor of, the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any
of the documents contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee or the Trust is
a party, or would cause or result in any conflict with or breach of any terms,
conditions or provisions of, or default under, the charter documents or by-laws
of the Owner Trustee or any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner
Trustee is a party, the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion decline to
execute such instrument. The Certificate of Trust shall be amended (except as
required by the Statutory Trust Statute) only upon satisfaction of the Rating

transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title and interest of

entitle any successor transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of
legal title to any part of the Trust Property.

Attention:  Corporate Trust Administration

Dear Sirs:

         We refer to the Trust Agreement, dated as of __________, 20____ (the
"Trust Agreement"), among The National Collegiate Funding LLC (the "Company"),
The Education Resources Institute, Inc. and _____________, a national banking
association (in its capacity as trustee thereunder, the "Owner Trustee"). We
propose to purchase a beneficial interest in The National Collegiate Student
Loan Trust 20____-____, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") formed pursuant
to the Trust Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have
the meanings given them in the Trust Agreement.

1.       We understand that our Trust Certificate is not being registered under
         the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any state
         securities or "Blue Sky" law and is being sold to us in a transaction
         that is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and
         any applicable state laws.

2.       We have knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as
         to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
         the Trust, we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in the
         Trust and we are an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D
         under the 1933 Act.

3.       We acknowledge that none of the Trust, the Company or the Owner Trustee
         has advised us concerning the federal or state income tax consequences
         of owning a beneficial interest in the Trust, including the tax status
         of the Trust or the likelihood that distributions from the Trust would
         be characterized as "unrelated business income" for federal tax
         purposes, and we have consulted with our own tax advisor with respect
         to such matters.

4.       We are acquiring our Trust Certificate for our own account and not for
         the benefit of any other person and not with a view to any distribution
         of our beneficial interest in the Trust subject, nevertheless, to the
         understanding that disposition of our property shall at all times be
         and remain within our control.

5.       We agree that our beneficial interest in the Trust must be held
         indefinitely by us unless subsequently registered under the 1933 Act
         and any applicable state securities or "Blue

<PAGE>

         Sky" law or unless exemptions from the registration requirements of the
         1933 Act and applicable state laws are available.

6.       We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose
         of or exchange any of our beneficial interest in the Trust, we will not
         transfer or exchange any of our beneficial interest in the Trust unless
         we have obtained the prior written consent to such transfer or exchange
         pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Trust Agreement, and either:

         (A)(1)   the transfer or exchange is made to an Eligible Purchaser (as
                  defined below), (2) a letter to substantially the same effect
                  as this letter is executed promptly by such Eligible Purchaser
                  and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the
                  sale (if a sale), whether made directly or through any agent
                  acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers
                  and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation
                  or general advertising whatsoever; or

         (B)      our beneficial interest in the Trust is sold in a transaction
                  that does not require registration under the 1933 Act and any
                  applicable State "Blue Sky" law.

"Eligible Purchaser" means a corporation, partnership or other entity which we
have reasonable grounds to believe and do believe can make representations with
respect to itself to substantially the same effect as the representations set
forth herein.

7.       We understand that our Trust Certificate bears a legend to
         substantially the following effect:

THE BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE TRUST REPRESENTED BY THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE HAS
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFFERED OR SOLD
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF (INCLUDING PLEDGED) BY THE HOLDER HEREOF UNLESS IN THE
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE TRANSFER OF THIS
TRUST CERTIFICATE WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE HAS DELIVERED TO
THE OWNER TRUSTEE A LETTER IN THE FORM REQUIRED BY SECTION 3.04(A) OF THE TRUST
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSFEREE PROVIDES THE OWNER TRUSTEE WITH EVIDENCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE DEMONSTRATING THE TRANSFEROR'S COMPLIANCE WITH
SECTION 3.04(B) OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.
