RECITALS

 

A.                                   The
Sallie Mae Parties, Bank One, and Bank One Education Finance Corporation, are
parties, along with others, to that certain Settlement Agreement and Release,
dated as of July 30, 2004 (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which
the Parties thereto agreed to resolve all disputes concerning the termination
of the Material Agreements, on the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement.

 

B.                                     The
Parties to this First Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release (“First
Amendment”) desire to amend the Settlement Agreement relating to Custom Deal
Loans, the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference, as
hereafter set forth.

 

C.                                     The
Parties to this First Amendment further desire to amend the Settlement
Agreement to reflect the satisfaction of certain obligations relative to the
Marketing Agreement and the terms of the Settlement Agreement, as more
specifically outlined herein below.

 

Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, have
the same meanings as in that certain Amended and Restated ExportSS Agreement
dated as of January 1, 2000, as amended by the Settlement Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
Recitals, the Parties agree to amend the Settlement Agreement as follows:

 

1

 

1.                                       Upon
execution by authorized representatives of all of the parties hereto, this
First Amendment shall be effective as of July 30, 2004.

 

2.                                       The
first sentence in Section 6.A. of the Settlement Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

A.                                   The
Commitment Period under the ExportSS® Agreement, including without limitation
the Amendment of January 1, 2002 relating to MBA LOAN Private Loans and LAWLOAN
Private Loans (but subject to the modifications set forth in Section 6
hereof), is hereby extended to August 31, 2008; provided, however, that the Commitment Period shall be
further extended, solely with respect to the original term of each Custom Deal
with respect to the Custom Deal Loan that is described in Section 6.E(iii) below,
to coincide with the end date of the original term of such Custom Deal.  The terms of the ExportSS Agreement, as
amended by this Settlement Agreement, shall govern with respect to such Custom
Deal Loans.  In the event that a Custom
Deal with respect to the Custom Deal Loan that is described in Section 6.E(iii) below
is renewed by Sallie Mae beyond the original term of such Custom Deal and such
renewal is reflected in a revised related letter of understanding (a “Renewed
Custom Deal”), and Bank One and the applicable EOG Related Person have agreed
to Bank One’s participation in the Renewed Custom Deal at the applicable
school, it being understood that neither party is under any obligation to agree
to such participation in a Renewed Custom Deal at any such school, then with
respect to a Custom Deal Loan subject to such Renewed Custom Deal, the
Commitment Period shall be further extended, but solely with respect to the
renewal term of each such Renewed Custom Deal with respect to the Custom Deal
Loan that is described in Section 6.E(iii) below, to coincide with
the end date of the term of such Renewed Custom Deal.  The terms of the ExportsSS Agreement, as
amended by this Settlement Agreement, shall govern with respect to such Custom
Deal Loan during the term of such Renewed Custom Deal.

 

3.                                       Section 6.E.
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows:

 

E. Custom Deal Loans will include Loans made under the Act that are (i) MBALoans,
LAWLOANS, and MEDLOANS, (ii) loans made in connection with attendance at
the schools listed in Schedule 1 hereto (subject to the last two
sentences of Section 6.D(3) above), (iii) loans made in
connection with attendance at such

 

2

 

other schools with respect to which Sallie Mae has agreed to provide
custom loan terms, which shall mean changes to its standard Signature Education
Loan, MBALoan private loan, LAWLOANS private loan, or MEDLOANS private loan
interest rates, terms, or credit criteria, changes to standard FFELP borrower
benefits, and/or Opportunity Loans, and such custom loan terms (as described in
clause 6.E(iii) immediately above) are set forth in a letter of
understanding executed by an EOG Related Person and such applicable schools (“Custom
Deal”), provided that Bank One and such EOG Related Person have agreed to Bank
One’s participation in the Custom Deal at such school, it being understood that
neither party is under any obligation to agree to such participation in a
Custom Deal at any such school, (iv) loans
made in connection with attendance at University of Phoenix for so long as
Sallie Mae has agreed to provide custom loan terms, as described in, or that
provide substantially identical benefits as the benefits described in, Schedule 9
hereto, to specific borrowers at such school (“University of Phoenix Custom
Deal”), and (v) loans made in connection with attendance at schools
located in a particular state for so long as Sallie Mae has agreed to provide
custom loan terms, as described in, or that provide substantially identical
benefits as the benefits described in, Schedule 9 herein to
specified borrowers in such state
(a “Statewide Benefit Deal”), provided that Bank One and the applicable EOG
Related Person have agreed to Bank One’s participation in the University of
Phoenix Custom Deal or in a State Wide Benefit Deal to any or all schools
within the applicable Statewide Benefit Deal state, it being understood that
neither party is under any obligation to agree to such participation in a
Statewide Benefit Deal to any or all schools within the applicable Statewide
Benefit Deal state or in the University of Phoenix Custom Deal (in each case of
sub-clauses (1) through (v) above in this Section 6.E or
collectively, “Custom Deal Loans”).  The
Parties hereby acknowledge that as of July 30, 2004 Sallie Mae provides
both, but is not obligated to continue to provide either, Statewide Benefit
Deals in connection with attendance at schools located in Louisiana, North
Carolina and Pennsylvania, as described in Schedule 9 to this
Settlement Agreement and the University of Phoenix Custom Deal.  The applicable EOG Related Persons agree that
they will not withdraw or terminate, during the course of any particular
Academic Year to take effect for or during that same Academic Year, Bank One’s
participation in a Statewide Benefit Deal or the University of Phoenix Custom
Deal in which Bank One and the applicable EOG Related Persons have agreed to
participate; provided, however, the applicable EOG Related Persons may withdraw
or terminate Bank One’s participation in

 

3

 

such a Statewide Benefit Deal or the University of Phoenix Custom Deal
to take effect for any succeeding Academic Year by giving Bank One at least
sixty (60) days advance written notice before the beginning of such succeeding
Academic Year and, provided, further, that, if Bank One participates, the
applicable EOG Related Persons may at any time and in its sole discretion
amend, withdraw, or terminate a Statewide Benefit Deal and/or the University of
Phoenix Custom Deal only if it does so for all applicable EOG Related Persons
lending brands generally.  The Commitment
Period shall be extended, but solely with respect to the term of Bank One’s
participation in the applicable Statewide Benefit Deal and/or the University of
Phoenix Custom Deal, to coincide with the end date of Bank One’s participation
in such Statewide Benefit Deal and/or the University of Phoenix Custom Deal and
the terms of the ExportsSS Agreement, as amended by this Settlement Agreement,
shall govern with respect to a Statewide Benefit Deal and the University of
Phoenix Custom Deal.

 

4.                                       The
second sentence in Section 7.B. of the Settlement Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

To effectuate the intent of this provision,
Bank One and Sallie Mae agree that Bank One shall not be obligated to pay to
Sallie Mae the Net Earnings owed under the USA LPA for the second calendar
quarter of 2004 in accordance with the terms of the USA LPA and, in turn,
Sallie Mae shall not be obligated to pay to Bank One the 50 basis point
Department of Education lender fee for all Loans sold pursuant to the USA LPA
on or after August 6, 2004.

 

5.(a). As it relates to Section 2.D.
of the Settlement Agreement, in consideration of Bank One’s payment of $580,476
to Sallie Mae, Inc., the obligations of the Bank One Related Persons with
respect to the payment of Marketing Fees, Liquidity Fees and Standby Commitment
Fees with respect to Education Loans that were disbursed prior to July 1,
2004 (the “Pre-Termination Period EOG Fees”) are completely and forever
discharged and satisfied.  The $580,476
payment referenced herein above is referred to herein below as the “Pre-Termination
Period EOG Fees Payment”.

 

5.(b). That the calculation of the amount
of the  Pre-Termination Period EOG Fees
Payment represents a compromise of an amount with respect to reconciliation of
which the parties had independently arrived at different results.

 

4

 

5.(c). That as a result
of the making of the Pre-Termination Period EOG Fees Payment, the provisions of
Section 5 A. of the Settlement Agreement are hereby amended to
include the Pre-Termination Period EOG Fees within the scope of the EOG
Released Claims.

 

6.                                       Schedule 5
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the revised Schedule 5 attached hereto.

 

7.                                       Section 6.B.
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following sentence
immediately at the end of the third sentence:

 

The Parties agree that [**] and [**] shall be deemed to be Custom Deal
Loan Schools beginning with the 2005-2006 Academic Year and that all
Loans made in the 2005-2006 and subsequent Academic Years in connection
with attendance at such schools are subject to the Purchase Price as set forth
in Section 6.D.(2) below for so long as Sallie Mae has agreed to
provide custom loan terms, as described in, or that provide substantially
identical benefits as the benefits described in, the letters of understanding
applicable to each such school, annexed hereto as Schedule 10,
(provided that actual letters of understanding are executed by an EOG Related
Person and such schools), and the Parties additionally agree that,
notwithstanding anything in the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this
Settlement Agreement, to the contrary, the Purchase Price for Loans made in connection
with attendance at the schools listed on Schedule 3 hereof that are
subject to or provided with Bank One’s or any of its affiliates’ national PLUS
Loan borrower benefits (a 3.6% credit based on the original Principal Balance
and applied to the outstanding Principal Balance of each eligible PLUS Loan (or
a cash rebate if available) after thirty-six (36) on time payments and a .25%
interest rate reduction for payments made automatically from a checking or
savings account) is (a) 100.00% of the aggregate Principal Balance of such
Loans; plus (b) 100.00% of the accrued interest that is payable by the
Borrowers; plus (c) solely for Loans that are sold within the time frames
set forth in Section 9 (Future Required Sales), a premium equal to [**]%
of the aggregate Principal Balance of such Loans.

 

Except as specifically provided for otherwise in this First Amendment,
the rights and obligations of each of the Parties under the Settlement
Agreement are unchanged.

 

5

 

This First Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, but
in such event, each counterpart shall constitute an original and all of such
counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.  Accordingly, this First Amendment shall become
binding, notwithstanding the execution of separate originals, one by each of
the parties hereto.  Signatures hereto
exchanged by facsimile shall be binding for all purposes.

of the LLC Agreements; Dissolution of the Joint Venture; and Amendment and
Termination of the Joint Venture Related Agreements

 

Effective immediately upon full execution of this Second Amendment and

Section 3 above (the “Effective Time”), the following will occur:

 

A.                                   Amendment of the LLC Agreements.  Immediately upon the Effective Time, each LLC
Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

1.  Each of the following
provisions of each LLC Agreement is deleted in its entirety and shall be of no
further force or effect:  (a) Article XIII;
(b) Section 7.16; (c) Section 7.18; (d) Section 10.2;
and (e) Section 10.3(a).

 

2.  The definition of “Dissolution
Date” in Section 2.1 of LLC Agreement is amended to delete all language
appearing therein and to replace such language with “December 31, 2005.”

 

3.  Section 10.3(b) of
each LLC Agreement is amended to delete the first sentence thereof in its
entirety and to replace it with the following: 
“On or before March 31, 2005 each of Chase and Sallie Mae will
appoint one representative to serve as liquidating agents (collectively, the “Liquidator”),
who shall work together to immediately commence to wind up the affairs of the
Company and to liquidate the Company’s assets.”

 

4.  Section 10.8 of each LLC
Agreement is amended to delete the last sentence thereof in its entirety, which
sentence shall be of no further force or effect.

5.  Section 14.2(a) of
each LLC Agreement is amended to provide that its provisions shall survive the
termination of that LLC Agreement and the dissolution of the Joint
Venture.  Section 14.2 of each LLC
Agreement is further amended to delete the remainder of that Section in
its entirety, which shall be of no further force or effect.

 

B.                                     Dissolution of the Joint Venture.

 

1.                                     The
Dissolution of the Joint Venture will be carried out pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 10.3 through 10.8 of the Joint Venture’s LLC Agreements, as amended
by this Second Amendment.  Each of Chase
and Sallie Mae agrees to use its best efforts to complete the Dissolution in an
efficient, expedient, and professional manner by no later than the Dissolution
Date.  The parties agree, however, that
the legal existence of the Joint Venture shall continue through December 31,
2005 so that expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Marketing
LLC and/or the Finance LLC, including the Allowable Servicing Fees pursuant to Section 8
of this Second Amendment, from the Effective Time through December 31,
2005 (the “Dissolution Period”) that are to be shared by Sallie Mae and Chase
pursuant to the LLC Agreements, as amended by this Second Amendment, will
continue to be expenses of the Marketing LLC and the Finance LLC, as
applicable.  The LLC Agreements shall  terminate at
the end of the Dissolution Period.

 

2.                                       Costs
of Dissolution of the Joint Venture will be borne and paid 50% by Sallie Mae
and 50% by Chase.  This will include
salaries and benefits through the date of termination of employment and
severance packages for all Joint Venture employees in amounts previously
approved by the Board of the Joint Venture. 
Additionally, Chase and Sallie Mae each agrees to pay 50% of the cost of
stay bonuses for [**], and any other employees of the Joint Venture mutually
agreed upon in writing by Chase and Sallie Mae (“Stay Bonus Employees);
provided, that, such employees (other than [**]) remain employed by the Joint
Venture, in good standing, through and until July 1, 2005, and that [**]
remain employed by the Joint Venture, in good standing, through and until December 31,
2005.  If [**] resigns from the Joint
Venture prior to December 31, 2005, the parties agree to hire as a Joint
Venture employee a mutually agreed upon alternative person.  Chase and Sallie Mae hereby agree that such
stay bonuses for the four employees named in the preceding sentence shall be in
an amount equal to 50% of each such employee’s annual base salary as of the
Effective Date.  Neither Chase nor the
Joint Venture shall have any responsibility to pay any other stay bonuses or
incentives that were promised to the Marketing LLC employees by Sallie Mae, and
all such amounts shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Sallie Mae.

 

3.                                       Each
of Chase and Sallie Mae may advise the employees of the Joint Venture of any
relevant employment opportunities within their respective organizations. During
the Dissolution period, the Joint Venture employees who remain employees of the
Joint Venture will be required to cooperate in the orderly transition of the
Chase-branded business to the Bank One sales force and back office operations,
as a condition to their receipt of any stay bonuses and payments under the
Joint Venture severance programs.

Sallie Mae hereby agrees that it will provide to Chase, for a period
not to exceed two (2) weeks, reasonable access to any Joint Venture
employee that accepts employment with Sallie Mae and provides the Joint Venture
with less than two (2) weeks notice. 
Sallie Mae further agrees that if it offers employment to any Stay Bonus
Employee, such Stay Bonus Employee’s start date with Sallie Mae shall not be
prior to July 31, 2005, except that [**] start date with Sallie Mae shall
not be prior to December 31, 2005.

2.                                       Upon
the amendment and termination of the Joint Venture Related Agreements pursuant
to Section 4.C.1, the rights, obligations and liabilities relating to
Loans that were subject to the Joint Venture Related Agreements as of the
Effective Date, shall instead be governed by the terms of the ExportSS Agreement,
as amended by this Second Amendment, as if such Loans had been marketed,
originated, serviced, purchased and sold pursuant to the terms of the ExportSS
Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment. 
The parties agree that the releases contained in Section 11 hereof
shall not apply to any mutually agreed upon undisputed fees and/or charges
arising under the terminated Joint Venture Related Agreements prior to the
Effective Date that are owed a party hereunder by the other party, to the
extent not otherwise expressly provided for under this Second Amendment, and
with respect to which the claiming party provides written notice of such
undisputed amounts to the other party within sixty (60) days of the Effective
Date.

income to the Joint Venture are satisfied in full, and the parties have no
further obligation to pay such floor income.

have been charged to Chase Bank or the Joint Venture under the Joint Venture

7.                                      Conforming
Revisions to ExportSS Agreement.

 

The parties hereby agree to the following additional modifications to
the ExportSS Agreement:

 

A.                                   Section 6.C
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

 

“The Chase Parties acknowledge that the sales requirement in Section 9
of the ExportSS Agreement (as amended by the Settlement Agreement) that
requires the sale of Loans “processed and/or serviced by us or any affiliate”
is intended (except as provided in the next sentence) to include all FFELP
Loans originated, processed and/or serviced by Sallie Mae or any subsidiary or
affiliate.  For FFELP Loans originated,
processed and/or serviced by Sallie Mae or any subsidiary or affiliate under a
contractual relationship with a third party pursuant to which Sallie Mae or any
subsidiary or affiliate originates, processes and/or services FFELP Loans, the
sales requirement in Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement (as amended by
the Settlement Agreement) that requires the sale of loans “processed and/or
serviced by us or any affiliate” shall only apply to USA Funds, Inc. (“USA
Funds”) and Northwest Education Loan Association (or their respective
successors or assigns) (“NELA”), provided, that such originations and/or
disbursements by USA Funds or NELA are processed on the origination or
servicing platforms of Sallie Mae or any subsidiary or affiliate; provided, however, that the sales requirement in Section 9
of the ExportSS Agreement (as amended by the Settlement Agreement) is not
triggered if such FFELP Loans are processed by or through  Sallie Mae’s Open Net File Management System
or its successor file management system and do not otherwise meet the
requirements of this Section 6.C. 
For purposes of this Section 6.C, the term disbursement does not
include services consisting solely of electronic funds transfer disbursement
services.”

 

B.                                     The
definition of “Serial Loan” in Section 23 of the ExportSS Agreement is
deleted and the following is substituted in its place:

 

“Serial Loan” means an additional FFELP Loan made to the same Borrower
who was the borrower under a FFELP Loan of the same type owned by and sold to
or required to be sold to ECFC or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or
predecessors, including Sallie Mae financing trusts by any of Chase Bank, Bank
One Bank or Bank One or, with respect to the FFELP Loans referenced in the
first sentence of Section 12 below, any other Chase entity that is subject
to the covenant in the first sentence of Section 12 below (a “Serial Loan
Borrower”), unless (i) such Loan was subject to a sale commitment by Bank
One to a third party existing as of the effective date of the ExportSS
Agreement, or (ii) the prior loan is acquired by ECFC or any ECFC
affiliate, subsidiary, or securitization trust through any purchase or
acquisition after the date of this Second Amendment other than

 

10

 

from Chase Parties, or (iii) such Serial Loan Borrower switches
schools to another school through which Bank One and/or Chase Bank makes FFELP
Loans that are not subject to the sales requirements set forth in Section 9
of the ExportSS Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment and such Serial
Loan Borrower enters into a new Master Promissory Note with either Bank One or
Chase Bank.  For this purpose,
unsubsidized and subsidized Stafford Loans are considered to be the same Loan type.”

 

C.                                     The
ExportSS Agreement is hereby amended to include Chase Bank and its permitted
successors and assigns as a party to the ExportSS Agreement as amended by this
Second Amendment, effective as of the Effective Date.

 

D.                                    Chase
acknowledges that any Private Loan application listing Chase Manhattan Bank
USA, N.A. as the lender that is processed on or after February 25, 2005,
will be covered under the indemnification provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) of
the second full paragraph on page 16 (Section 7) of the ExportSS
Agreement.

 

E.                                      The
last sentence of the first paragraph of the “Delivery of Loans” provisions of Section 11
of the ExportSS Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

 

“However, except for Loans that are Serial to Loans owned by Sallie Mae
and serviced by Sallie Mae or another contract servicer, or first time borrower
FFELP Loans subject to Sections 5.B, 5.C, 5.D and 5.F of the Second Amendment,
Sallie Mae agrees to make a reasonable effort to keep Loans on the servicing
system of such third party servicer, provided that Sallie Mae maintains a
servicing agreement with such servicer.”

 

8.                                      Costs
Incurred in Connection With Calendar Year 2005 Chase-Branded Volume.

 

For the remainder of calendar year 2005, Sallie Mae will continue to
pay the lesser of (i) [**]% of the origination and servicing fees for the
third party vendors listed on Schedule III hereto (as described
further in this Section 8) (“Allowable Servicing Fees”) incurred by Chase
Bank, TCB, Chase Education Holdings, or the Joint Venture in connection with
the origination and servicing of Loans generated through the marketing efforts
of the Joint Venture and that are obligated to be sold to ECFC or its
affiliates (or its designee) pursuant to the ExportSS Agreement, as modified by
this Second Amendment, or (ii) $[**], which represents [**]% of the
Allowable Servicing Fees budgeted for the Joint Venture in the Joint Venture’s
2005 Approved Budget at the November, 2004 Joint Venture board meeting.  Sallie Mae shall be entitled to take as a credit
against the sums owed the portion of such Allowable Servicing Fees that were
actually paid by Sallie Mae to the Joint Venture as a Member of the Joint
Venture prior to the Effective Date.  The
parties will work in good faith to ensure that origination and servicing fees
in the nature of the Allowable Servicing Fees that are incurred in connection
with originating or servicing Bank One Loans (or Loans of any other affiliate
or subsidiary other than Chase Bank or Chase Bank USA) are not included in this
calculation.  The parties agree that the
monthly expenses incurred by the Joint Venture for calendar year 2004 will
serve as a guideline to ensure that Bank One-related origination and servicing
fees in the nature of the Allowable Servicing Fees are not inadvertently
charged to the Joint Venture or subject to this Section 8. Allowable

 

11

 

Servicing Fees will not include any categories of items that were not
charged to the Joint Venture for calendar year 2004.

 

9.                                      Provision
of Information by Sallie Mae.

 

Section 4.B of the Settlement Agreement shall also be applicable
to Chase Bank or Chase Bank USA Loans.

 

10.                               Conforming
Revisions to Settlement Agreement.

 

The parties hereby agree to the following additional modifications to
the Settlement Agreement:

 

A.                                   Both
the parenthetical at the end of the second to last sentence and the last
sentence in each of Sections 6.A and 7.G of the Settlement Agreement are hereby
deleted in their entirety.

 

B.                                   Section 6.F
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new
second sentence thereof:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to non-Serial FFELP
Loans made for the July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 Academic Year,
the sales requirement under Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement, as
amended by this Second Amendment and the obligations under this Section 6.F,
for Bank One to sell such non-Serial FFELP Loans will not be triggered solely
because Chase Bank or Chase Bank USA has offered to make Private Loans at any
particular school; provided, that, the FFELP Loans, if any, that are made
during the July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 Academic Year to any
Chase Bank or Chase Bank USA borrowers of such Private Loans will be sold to
ECFC or its designee.”

 

C.                                     Section 11
of the Settlement Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety effective upon
signing of this Second Amendment and Chase Bank’s payment to Sallie Mae of the
Payment pursuant to Section 3 of this Second Amendment.

 

D.                                    The
following shall be added to the end of Section 14 of the Settlement
Agreement:

 

“To the extent this Second Amendment provides for amendment or
termination of the LLC Agreements or dissolution of the Joint Venture, it shall
be subject to, governed by, and construed and enforced pursuant to the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflict of
laws.  To the extent this Second
Amendment provides for amendment or termination of any other Joint Venture Related
Agreements, it shall be subject to, governed by, and construed and enforced
pursuant to laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of
conflict of laws.”

prejudice, to be filed with the court in which the Dissolution Action is

institution of the Dissolution Action or any act or omission by or on the part

E.                                    With
respect to the releases provided herein, each of the Releasors warrants and
represents with respect to the claims it hereby releases (collectively, the “Released
Claims”), that:

 

(1)                                  It
has not heretofore assigned, subrogated or transferred to any person any of the
Released Claims and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, each person
to whom its release runs from any of its Released Claims asserted by any person
based upon any such actual or purported assignment or transfer;

 

(2)                                  No
person has any lien, claim or interest in any of the Released Claims;

 

(3)                                  It
will not assign, subrogate or transfer to any person any of the Released
Claims;

 

(4)                                  It
will not commence, assert or prosecute, or induce any other person to commence
or prosecute, any of the Released Claims;

 

14

 

(5)                                  It
is fully authorized to enter into and be bound by the terms of this Second
Amendment, and that it is the sole legal and equitable owner and holder of
all  Released Claims; and

 

(6)                                  The
person signing this Second Amendment on its behalf has the authority to do so
and to make the promises and releases contained herein and to enter into the
agreements set forth herein on its behalf.

 

F.                          The
releases contained in this Section 11 herein shall in no way affect the
right of any party hereto to seek enforcement of the terms of the ExportSS
Agreement and this Second Amendment.

 

12.                              Agreement of JPMorgan.

 

JPMorgan covenants (both for itself and for its affiliates,
subsidiaries, successors, and assigns) that any FFELP Loans that are guaranteed
for the July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 Academic year that are
generated through the marketing efforts of either the Bank One Education
Finance Corporation sales force, or such other Chase affiliate that employs the
Bank One Education Finance Corporation sales force or the Joint Venture sales
force, that are required to be sold under the ExportSS Agreement, as modified
by this Second Amendment will be sold to ECFC (or its designee) pursuant to the
ExportSS Agreement, as modified by this Second Amendment.  For avoidance of doubt, the parties
acknowledge and agree that if Bank One and/or Chase Bank  shifts any FFELP Loans that are guaranteed
for the July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 Academic Year that are
generated through the marketing efforts of the Joint Venture sales force to
other than the Chase Bank’s Department of Education lender identification
numbers utilized by the Joint Venture, such FFELP Loans will, notwithstanding
such actions, be required to be sold under the ExportSS Agreement, as modified
by this Second Amendment and will be sold to ECFC (or its designee) pursuant to
the ExportSS Agreement, as modified by this Second Amendment.

 

JPMorgan covenants (both for itself and for its affiliates,
subsidiaries, successors, and assigns) that it will not take any steps (nor
will it permit its affiliates or subsidiaries to take any such steps) that
results in the avoidance of the sales requirements under Section 9 of the
ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment, including, without
limitation, any restructurings or creations of legal entities that results in
the avoidance of such sales requirements under Section 9 of the ExportSS
Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment. 
For avoidance of doubt (excluding the sales commitments in Sections 5.B,
5.C. and 5.D of this Second Amendment regarding first time borrowers), the
parties acknowledge and agree that Bank One’s and/or Chase Bank’s election to
originate, process or service FFELP Loans on an origination and/or servicing platform
other than Sallie Mae’s (as defined in Section 7.A. of this Second
Amendment), shall not be deemed to be “avoidance of such sales requirements
under Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by the Second
Amendment.”

 

15

 

13.  Agreements and
Representations and Warranties of SLM, SMI and ECFC

 

A.                                   SLM
covenants (both for itself and for its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors,
and assigns) that it will not take any steps (nor will it permit its affiliates
or subsidiaries to take any such steps) that results in the avoidance of its
purchase obligations under the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this Second
Amendment, including, without limitation, any restructurings or creations of
legal entities that result in the avoidance of such purchase requirements under
the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment.

 

B.                                     SMI
and ECFC each warrant and represent that individually or collectively they are
the successors to each and all of the rights and obligations of Student Loan
Marketing Association with respect to the Joint Venture and with respect to the
Joint Venture Related Agreements, and that any claims that Student Loan
Marketing Association may ever have had against any of the Chase Releasees that
are within the scope of the Sallie Mae Released Claims either have been
extinguished or are included in the Sallie Mae Released Claims.

 

14.                               Counterparts.

 

This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, but
in such event, each counterpart shall constitute an original and all of such
counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.  Accordingly, this Second
Amendment shall become binding, notwithstanding the execution of
separate originals, one by each of the Parties hereto.  Signatures hereto exchanged by facsimile
shall be binding for all purposes.

 

15.                               Notices.

 

The Chase Parties and the Sallie Mae Parties each hereby acknowledge
that the notice address set forth in the Settlement Agreement shall continue as
the notice address for this Second Amendment.

 

16.                               Confidentiality

 

Each of Sallie Mae and Chase agree and covenant that it will take all
reasonable steps to ensure, preserve, and protect the confidentiality of the
Purchase Prices set forth in this Second Amendment and the minimum FFELP Loan
sale amounts in Section 5.D of this Second Amendment, which the parties
agree are confidential and shall not be disclosed or revealed by them, except
as specified below:

 

A.                                   By
Chase or Sallie Mae to, their accountants, attorneys, auditors, tax return
preparers, and/or regulators, or as otherwise required in connection with
disclosure obligations under the securities laws.  The parties agree that to the extent
permissible under any securities law disclosure obligation that requires disclosure
of this Second Amendment, or any portion or terms thereof, they will seek
confidential treatment from any such disclosure the items referenced in the
first sentence of this Section 16 above;

 

B.                                     To
any third parties as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties; and

 

16

 

C.                                     To
the extent required by law, subpoena or other judicial process, provided that
prior to complying therewith the party receiving such subpoena or process
advises (to the extent legally permissible) the other party and the court or
issuer thereof of this confidentiality provision and makes reasonable, diligent
effort to protect the contents of this Second Amendment from disclosure.

 

Except as expressly modified herein, the ExportSS Agreement, including
without limitation all sales requirements set forth therein, are hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties through each of their duly authorized
representatives have hereto set their hands to be effective as of the 21st day
of March, 2005.

Dear Jennifer,

 

Thank you for the opportunity to continue working with you and your
staff to deliver a comprehensive education financing solution for students of
Indiana University (see attached list of campuses).  Sallie Mae’s solution includes an industry
leading federal loan program along with a customized private loan program.  This “Letter of Understanding” summarizes the
products and services that Sallie Mae will provide to Indiana University, its
students and their parents.  This Letter
is considered an addendum to the Agreement between Indiana University and
Sallie Mae dated November 14, 2003 and all terms in that Agreement remain
in effect.  The terms in this letter are
in effect for the Academic Year  2004/2005 and will be renegotiated
each academic year, renewable through June 30, 2009.

 

Our main objectives will be to accomplish the following:

 

•                              Offer
Indiana University students and their parents a comprehensive education
financing plan that includes:

 

•                              Industry
leading federal loan programs;

 

•                              Private
loan program with competitive rates and fees; and

 

•                              Signature
Opportunity Loan Program — private loans for students ineligible for other
programs, including international students with proper INS documentation.

 

•                              Offer
borrowers flexible repayment options and money-saving borrower benefits.

 

Sallie Mae is committed to these goals and pledges the full support of
its professional staff in achieving these objectives.  We are confident that Sallie Mae has the
expertise, depth and resources and infrastructure to create and implement an
education-financing program that stands ahead of our competitors.

Terms of the Indiana University Comprehensive
Line Program

 

Sallie Mae will provide a loan program tailored to the needs of Indiana
University, its students and their parents. 
Under the program, Sallie Mae offers Indiana University students a
comprehensive education financing solution, including both federal and private
education loans.  The Indiana
University/Sallie Mae arrangement will enable Indiana University to offer an
innovative private loan program and expand access to education programs.

 

Federal Family Education Loan Program

 

Bank One (811925), Chase (807807), Dollar Bank
(822583), FNB Sioux Falls (810457), Suntrust Bank (819873), Fifth Third Bank
(803688), National City Bank (831403) and Citizens Bank of New England (805204)
will fund FFELP loans for Indiana University students and their parents.  Sallie Mae has agreements to purchase FFELP
loans made by the above lenders and will provide loan origination and
life-of-loan servicing on such loans.

 

Indiana University has indicated that they plan to continue to use USA
Funds as its guarantor.  USA Funds is
Sallie Mae’s preferred guarantor.  Sallie
Mae manages the guarantee, disbursement and customer service functions for USA
Funds.  By selecting a Sallie Mae lender
and USA Funds as its guarantor, Indiana University will have the benefit of
true life-of-loan servicing from loan guarantee through repayment.

 

Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford
Loan Program – Students who meet all Title IV
eligibility criteria can borrow for both undergraduate and graduate education.

 

Federal PLUS Loan Program
– Eligible parents may borrow for each dependent undergraduate who is enrolled
at least halftime.  Parents may finance
up to the full cost of attendance, less financial aid the student
receives.  Parents can apply for the
loans via Sallie Mae’s Parent Answer® Service.

 

•                              Sallie Mae’s Parent Answer Service consists
of a group of well-trained financial aid and loan counselors dedicated to
assisting parents with college financing options.

 

•                              Parent
Answer provides credit counseling for parents who have credit issues that may
keep them from being credit Approved for a PLUS loan.  This counseling service is known as PLUS
SuccessSM.  In many cases,
issues can be resolved quickly, and a parent can be credit approved for a PLUS
loan.

 

Private Loan Programs

 

Sallie Mae’s private loan programs are designed to provide students
with additional funding when federal loan programs do not meet the total cost
of education.  Sallie Mae sponsors the
MBA LOANS® Program, the LAWLOANS® Program, the MEDLOANS®
Program, the Indiana University Custom Dental Loan Program and the Signature
Education Loan® Program. 
Sallie Mae services these loans for the life of the loans.  The private loan rates, fees and terms are

Borrower Benefits

 

Sallie Mae leads the industry with benefits that reward customers for
repaying their loans on time, and make federal student loans more
affordable.  These benefits are available
for loans originated, sold to and serviced by Sallie Mae throughout repayment.

 

Stafford Loan Borrower Benefits:

 

Indiana University campuses will have the option of selecting one or
both of the following Stafford loan borrower benefit programs (Note:  these packages cannot be combined).  Both packages will be offered to all eligible
students.  However, an individual student
will select only one package for all of his/her Stafford loans.  In making this decision, we encourage serial
borrowers to remain with their current Sallie Mae lender so that they do have
to complete a new Master Promissory Note. 
The two options are outlined as Scenario I and Scenario II below.

 

Scenario I – Indiana University Stafford
Borrower Benefit Package (Loans funded by Dollar Bank and FNB Sioux Falls):

 

•                              [**]% Loan Origination Fee for Stafford Loan Borrowers
– Indiana University borrowers, with loans disbursed on or after July 1,
2004, through June 30, 2009, will have access to federal Stafford loans
with a [**] percent loan origination fee. 
These loans will be funded by FNB Sioux Falls and Dollar Bank.

 

•                              Indiana University [**] Percent Rewards –
Stafford borrowers funded FNB Sioux Falls or Dollar Bank who make their first
33 scheduled payments on-time get a [**]
percentage point interest rate reduction on each eligible loan as
long as they continue to pay on time. 
(Note: this interest rate reduction cannot exceed the actual interest
rate on the loan at the time the benefit is earned.)

 

35

 

•                              Indiana
University-Bloomington Stafford serial loan borrowers whose loans were funded
by FNB Sioux Falls for AY 2003/2004 will have the opportunity to replace their
existing Sallie Mae Cash Back borrower benefit with the Indiana University [**]
Percent Rewards Program, using their existing Master Promissory Note on new
serial loans.

 

•                              [**] Percent Guarantee Fee – Indiana
University students will have access to a [**] percent guarantee fee loan for
AY 2004/2005.

 

Scenario II – Indiana University Stafford
Borrower Benefit Package (Loans funded by Bank One, Chase, Fifth Third Bank,
Suntrust Bank, National City Bank and Citizens Bank of New England):

 

•                              Indiana University Payback for Stafford Borrowers
– Stafford borrower will receive a credit when Sallie Mae purchases the loans
(approximately 30 days after full disbursement) that is equal to [**]% of the
original principal balance of each eligible Stafford loan.  Borrowers are in control of their savings by
choosing to receive the benefit as either cash or a loan account credit.

 

All Indiana University students will receive
the benefit if they obtain a Stafford loan first disbursed on or after July 1,
2004 that is funded by Bank One, Chase, Fifth Third Bank, Citizens Bank of New
England, National City Bank or Suntrust Bank. 
Borrowers will receive a check from Sallie Mae.  It will be mailed to their address on record
approximately 30 days after full disbursement. 
In the event that the check is not cashed or the check is returned for
an insufficient address, the credit will be applied to the borrowers account.

 

Borrowers will also be encouraged to enroll
in Manage Your Loans and agree to receive account information via e-mail.

 

•                              Indiana University [**] Percent Rewards –
Stafford borrowers funded by Bank One, Chase, Fifth Third Bank, Citizens Bank
of New England, National City Bank or Suntrust Bank who make their first 33
scheduled payments on-time get a [**]
percentage point interest rate reduction on each eligible loan as
long as they continue to pay one time. 
(Note: this interest rate reduction cannot exceed the actual interest
rate on the loan at the time the benefit is earned.)

 

•                              [**] Percent Guarantee Fee – Indiana
University students will have access to a [**] percent guarantee fee loan for
AY 2004/2005.

Combined Billing

 

Borrowers with FFELP and private loans owned and serviced by Sallie Mae
have the benefit of receiving one monthly billing statement combining the loans.

 

Repayment Options

 

Combined Billing –
FFELP and private loan customers whose loans are owned and serviced by Sallie
Mae have the benefit of receiving one monthly billing statement combining the
loans.

 

Net.RepaySM is
an online student loan bill presentment and payment service.  With this system, customers receive an e-mail
reminder when their monthly bill is available for viewing.  After viewing, clicking on the “Pay” button
will automatically debit the user’s specified bank account on the next business
day.

 

The Standard Repayment
option provides Stafford, PLUS and private loan customers with the lowest total
loan cost.  This option requires payments
of principal and interest due each month.

 

Sallie Mae also offers several graduated and reduced payment options to
make payments more affordable. 
Eligibility for a graduated repayment plan is dependent on loan type,
interest rate and repayment time remaining.

 

The Grad ChoiceSM
option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make reduced payments
for two, three or four years that may be as low as interest only with standard
payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment term.  Payments under a Grad Choice option in some
cases can be more than 60% lower during the reduced payment period than
payments made under the Standard Repayment option.  This repayment option is available to
Stafford and PLUS loan customers.

 

38

 

The Select StepSM
option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make
interest-only payments for up to four years followed by standard payments of
principal and interest for the remaining repayment term.  This repayment option is available to
Stafford, PLUS and private loan customers.

 

The FLEX REPAYSM
option – offered exclusively by Sallie Mae
– makes payments more affordable for Stafford and PLUS customers by extending
student loan repayment while minimizing total loan costs as compared with loan
consolidation.  With Flex Repay, eligible
customers can get lower payments for up to four years.  If payment relief is still needed, principal
and interest payments can gradually be increased for up to five years through
reduced payment forbearance.  Standard
principal and interest payments follow for the remaining repayment term.  The Flex Repay option is an affordable
alternative to loan consolidation.

 

The Income-Sensitive Repayment
option offers payments that are based on a percentage of the borrower’s monthly
gross income.  (The minimum payment
amount must cover the monthly interest accrual.)  The borrower must reapply every year and
payments are adjusted annually to reflect any changes in the borrower’s
income.  This program is open to
Stafford, PLUS and consolidation loan customers.

 

Extended Repayment Option
– Certain customers with greater than $30,000 in outstanding FFELP debt may be
eligible for a 25-year repayment term and the choice of either a standard or
graduated payment plan.

 

Signature Student Loan, MBA LOANS private loan, Indiana University
Custom Dental Loan, LAWLOANS private loan and Bar Study Loan customers with
private loan debt in excess of $20,000 may be eligible to extend their
repayment term up to 20-years.  Customers
with even higher balances may be able to extend their term up to a 25-years.

 

Loan Consolidation

 

Sallie Mae customers and non-Sallie Mae customers who have FFELP loans
with more than one holder have the ability to consolidate with Sallie Mae.  Sallie Mae offers several loan consolidation
options:

 

•                              The SMART LOAN Consolidation Account is a
practical, education debt-management option that enables customers to
consolidate all of their federal loan debt (Stafford, PLUS and Perkins).  This program enables customers to reduce
their initial monthly payments by as much as 50 percent.  As the nation’s largest FFELP consolidation
lender, Sallie Mae provides customers with expert consolidation counseling via
a toll-free telephone number, and an array of web-based services, including an online application and electronic
signature.

 

•                              The MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan is a federal
consolidation loan program offered by Sallie Mae in cooperation with the
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).  The MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan is a
practical debt management tool that offers all

 

39

 

the benefits of a federal loan consolidation
and more!  Designed exclusively for
customers who have attended schools of allopathic or osteopathic medicine, the
MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan program provides special borrower benefits that can
potentially save thousands of dollars in interest expenses.  MEDLOANS also offers consolidation counseling
services tailored to meet the needs of today’s medical students and residents
as well as practicing physicians.

 

•                              SMART Advantage Account – allows Sallie Mae
Stafford and PLUS borrowers to place their Sallie Mae loans into a non-consolidated
account and consolidate only the loans that Sallie Mae does not currently own
(i.e., direct loans).  Borrowers receive
payment relief needed through a longer repayment term and maintain eligibility
for Sallie Mae’s borrower benefits, which will reduce the total cost of their
loan indebtedness.

 

Sallie Mae can work with Indiana University to endorse and promote loan
consolidation programs to students with outstanding direct loans or FFELP loans
with other lenders to ensure that customers are aware of their consolidation
options.  Sallie Mae believes that the
following services will allow Indiana University to personalize the
relationship with their students.  These
services can include:

 

•                              Onsite exit counselling.  Sallie Mae can lead in-depth sessions
designed to meet the needs of your students. 
Handouts can be tailored to include consolidation examples based on
typical student debt profiles for your programs.

 

•                              Training sessions for your financial aid staff.  These sessions are designed to help FAAs
understand the consolidation application process and counsel students about
debt management.

 

•                              Loan consolidation materials.  These materials range from pocketsize
consolidation information cards to comprehensive consolidation packets that
include an informative, 12-page booklet and a SMART LOAN application.

 

•                              Personalized communications to students.  Sallie Mae can help your staff draft letters
alerting students to specific consolidation opportunities, such as a pending
rate change, or prepare and mail letters to those students who are Sallie Mae
customers.  These communications can be
targeted to students who are preparing to graduate, to students who have
graduated or to students who are already in repayment.

 

Customers who consolidate through Sallie Mae will have access to the
following loan consolidation borrower benefit programs.  These programs offer substantial savings
through interest rate discounts awarded for on-time payments.

 

•                              Direct Repay – SMART LOANS Consolidation
Account borrowers will receive a 1⁄4 percentage
point interest rate reduction on eligible loans if they authorize
the automatic debit of funds to cover their monthly loan payments.

 

40

 

•                              SMART LOAN® Consolidation Account Benefit
– Customers who have an initial federal consolidation loan balance of at least
$10,000 can earn a 1-percentage point interest rate reduction after they make
their first 36 scheduled monthly payments on time.  The interest rate reduction continues as long
as on time payments are made.

 

•                              MEDLOANS Consolidation Rewards – a 1
percentage point interest rate reduction is available on MEDLOANS Consolidation
Loans made on or after January 15, 2003. 
To qualify, MEDLOANS Consolidation customers must make their initial 48
scheduled monthly payments on time.  The
interest rate reduction continues as long as on time payments are made.

 

Note:  Benefits are not applicable
to the portion of MEDLOANS Consolidation Loans that are made up of HEAL loans.

 

•                              MEDLOANS Consolidation Cash Back – is an
incentive program that rewards MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan customers for
consistently making their payments on time and taking advantage of Sallie Mae’s
web-based account services.  With this
benefit, customers choose to receive a 1%
credit or cash back based on the original principal amount of their
MEDLOANS Consolidation Loans.  To
qualify:

 

•                              A MEDLOANS Consolidation
Loan must have its first disbursement on or after January 15, 2003.

in Manage Your Loans and sign up to receive account information by e-mail.

Director of Financial Aid

Dear Jevita,

 

Thank you for the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive education
financing solution for students at George Mason University.  Sallie Mae’s solution includes an industry
leading federal loan program and a customized private loan program.  This “Letter of Understanding” summarizes the
products and services that Sallie Mae and its lender partners will provide to
George Mason University students and parents. 
The terms in this letter will be in effect beginning July 1, 2004
and, except where noted, will remain in effect through June 30, 2008.

 

Our main objectives are to:

 

•                              Develop and implement a
transition plan to move George Mason University from the Federal Direct Loan
Program (FDLP) to the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) for
Academic Year 2004/2005.

 

•                              Offer George Mason
University students and their parents a financing plan that includes:

 

•                              Industry leading federal
and private loan programs; and

 

•                               Private loan programs
with competitive rates and fees.

 

•                              Provide flexible
repayment options and customized money saving borrower benefits.

 

Sallie Mae is committed to these goals and pledges the full support of
its professional staff in achieving these objectives.  We are confident that Sallie Mae has the
expertise, depth and resources and infrastructure to create and implement an
education-financing program that stands ahead of our competitors.

 

Transition Support

 

Sallie Mae will work closely with your staff to implement a solution
that ensures the effective and efficient interface of our technology with your
financial aid management system.  During
all

 

46

 

phases of the transition, we have a dedicated support team to address
all of your needs.  That support team
will be charged to address all needs in the transition process.

 

Sallie Mae will work with your staff to determine the appropriate
target dates for each step of the transition. 
We are confident that the entire transition process can be accomplished
in time for your staff to begin awarding loans for Academic Year 2004/2005.

 

Terms of the George Mason University
Comprehensive Loan Program

 

Sallie Mae will provide a loan program tailored to the needs of George
Mason University students and parents. 
Under the program, Sallie Mae, through its lender partners, offers
George Mason University students a financing solution that includes both
federal and private education loans.  The
George Mason University/Sallie Mae partnership will enable George Mason
University to expand access to education programs.

 

Federal Family Education Loan Program

 

Chase (Lender Codes: 819166-MBA, 815854-Law and 808037-all other
programs) and Citizens Bank (Lender Code: 833881) will fund FFELP loans for
George Mason University students and parents. 
Sallie Mae has agreements to purchase loans made by these lenders and
will provide loan origination and life-of-loan servicing on such loans.

 

Sallie Mae provides assistance for parents
interested in applying for a Federal PLUS Loan through our Parent Answer
Service.  Parent Answer Service
consists of a group of well-trained financial aid and loan counselors dedicated
to assisting parents with college financing options.  Parent Answer provides credit counseling for
parents who have credit issues that may keep them from being credit approved
for a PLUS loan.  This counseling service
is known as PLUS SuccessSM.  In many cases, issues can be resolved
quickly, and a parent can be credit approved for a PLUS loan.

 

Private Loan Programs

 

Sallie Mae’s private loan programs are designed to provide students
with additional funding when federal loan programs do not meet the total cost
of education.  Sallie Mae and its lender
partners are offering the MBA LOANS® Program, the LAWLOANS®
Program and the Signature Education Loan® Program to George Mason’s
undergraduate and graduate students.  The
private loan rates, fees and terms are those in effect for Academic Year
2004/2005.  These loan programs are
reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to change.

Sallie Mae offers several graduated and reduced payment options to make
payments more affordable.  Eligibility
for a graduated repayment plan is dependent on loan type, interest rate and
repayment time remaining.

 

The Standard Repayment
option provides Stafford, PLUS and private loan customers with the lowest total
loan cost.  This option requires payments
of principal and interest due each month.

 

The Grad ChoiceSM
option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make reduced
payments for two, three or four years. 
Payments may be as low as interest only and increase to standard
payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment terms.  Payments under a Grad Choice option in some
cases can be more than 60% lower during the reduced payment period than
payments made under the Standard Repayment option.  This repayment option is available to
Stafford and PLUS loan customers.

 

The Select StepSM
option is a graduated repayment plan that allows borrowers to make
interest-only payments for up to four years followed by standard payments of
principal and interest for the remaining repayment term.  This repayment option is available to
Stafford, PLUS and private loan customers.

 

The FLEX REPAYSM
option – offered exclusively by Sallie Mae
– makes payments more affordable for Stafford and PLUS customers by extending
student loan repayment and minimizing total loan costs as compared with loan
consolidation.  With Flex Repay, eligible
customers receive lower payments for up to four years.  If payment relief is still needed, principal
and interest payments can gradually be increased for up to five years through
reduced

 

52

 

payment forbearance.  Standard
principal and interest payments follow for the remaining repayment term.

 

The Income-Sensitive Repayment
option offers payments that are based on a percentage of the borrower’s monthly
gross income.  The minimum payment amount
must cover the monthly interest accrual. 
The borrower must reapply every year and payments are adjusted annually
to reflect any changes in the borrower’s income.  This program is open to Stafford, PLUS and
consolidation loan customers.

 

Extended Repayment Option
– Certain customers with greater than $30,000 in outstanding FFELP debt may be
eligible for a 25-year repayment term and the choice of either a standard or
graduated payment plan.

 

MBA LOANS Private Loan, LAWLOANS Private Loan and Signature Loan
borrowers with private loan debt in excess of $20,000 may be eligible to extend
their repayment term up to 20-years.  Borrowers
with even higher balances may be able to extend their term up to a 25-years.

 

Federal Loan Consolidation Options

 

Sallie Mae borrowers or students who have federal loans with more than
one holder have the ability to consolidated with Sallie Mae.  Sallie Mae offers several loan consolidation
options:

 

•                              The SMART LOAN Consolidation Account is a
practical, education debt-management option that enables customers to
consolidate all of their federal loan debt (Stafford, PLUS and Perkins).  This program enables customers to reduce
their initial monthly payments by as much as 50 percent.  As the nation’s largest FFELP consolidation
lender, Sallie Mae provides customers with expert consolidation counseling via
a toll-free telephone number, and an array of web-based services, including an
online application and electronic signature.

 

•                              SMART Advantage Account – allows Sallie Mae
Stafford and PLUS borrowers to place their Sallie Mae loans into a
non-consolidated account and consolidate only the loans that Sallie Mae does
not currently own (i.e., direct loans). 
Borrowers receive payment relief needed through a longer repayment term
and maintain eligibility for Sallie Mae’s borrower benefits, which will reduce
the total cost of their loan indebtedness.

 

Sallie Mae can work with George Mason University to endorse and promote
Sallie Mae’s loan consolidation programs to students with outstanding Direct
Loans or FFELP loans with other lenders to ensure that customers are aware of
their consolidation options.  Sallie Mae
believes that the following services will allow George Mason University to
personalize the relationship with their students.  These services can include:

 

•                              Onsite exit counselling.  Sallie Mae assist with in-depth sessions
designed to meet the needs of your students. 
Handouts can be tailored to include consolidation examples based on
typical student debt profiles for your programs.

 

53

 

•                              Training sessions for your financial aid staff.  These sessions are designed to help FAAs
understand the consolidation application process and counsel students about
debt management.

 

•                              Loan consolidation materials.  These materials range from pocketsize
consolidation information cards to comprehensive consolidation packets that
include an informative, 12-page booklet and a SMART LOAN application.

 

•                              Personalized communications to students.  Sallie Mae can help your staff draft letters
alerting students to specific consolidation opportunities, such as a pending
rate change, or prepare and mail letters to those students who are Sallie Mae
customers.  These communications can be
targeted to students who are preparing to graduate, to students who have
graduated or to students who are already in repayment.

 

Customers who consolidate through Sallie Mae will have access to the

SCHEDULE V

 

iRewardSM
or Sallie Mae Payback Benefit Program

 

 

The iReward Benefit or Sallie Mae Payback
benefit (the “Benefit”) is available on Stafford Loans (subsidized and
unsubsidized) originated on or after July 1, 2005 and until the borrower’s
school or Sallie Mae® discontinues offering the Benefit program.  If the borrower has a loan(s) eligible to
receive the Benefit, the borrower will receive a 3% loan credit or payment
based upon the original principal balance of the borrower’s loan, minus
cancellations, refunds, and returns. 
This loan credit will be posted no earlier than 90 days after full
disbursement of the loan.

 

To be eligible to receive and maintain the
Benefit, the borrower must meet both certain eligibility requirements,
including, without limitation, the borrower’s school must be a participant in
the Benefit Program and Sallie Mae must have an ownership interest in the loan,
and certain retention requirements.

Schedule VI

 

 

The Blended Premium shall be determined as follows:

 

(1)  The parties will determine
the aggregate original Principal Balance of FFELP Loans disbursed by Bank One
Bank, Bank One, Chase Bank and Chase Bank USA on or after July 1, 2004
through and including February 28, 2005 (the “Measurement Period”) that
were obligated to be sold to ECFC or its affiliates (or its designee) pursuant
to either the ExportSS Agreement, USA LPA or the Joint Venture Related
Agreements, excluding the aggregate original Principal Balance of FFELP Loans
that are referenced in Sections 6.E and 6.F below (the “Total 04/05 FFELP
Volume”).

 

(2)  The parties will determine
the aggregate original Principal Balance of FFELP Loans disbursed by the Bank
One Bank and Bank One during the Measurement Period that were subject to the
premium of [**] basis points under the ExportSS Agreement (the “Non-Custom
04/05 FFELP Volume”) and determine the total dollar amount of premium earned by
multiplying the [**]  basis points by the
Non-Custom 04/05 FFELP Volume (the “[**] Basis Points 04/05 FFELP Premium
Amount”).

 

(3)  The parties will subtract
the Non-Custom 04/05 FFELP Volume from the Total 04/05 FFELP Volume and
multiply such amount by [**] basis points to determine the total dollar amount
of premium that would have been earned in accordance with this calculation (the
“[**] Basis Points 04/05 FFELP Premium Amount”).

 

(4)  The Blended Premium Amount
shall be the sum of the [**] Basis Point 04/05 FFELP Premium Amount and the
[**] Basis Points 04/05 FFELP Premium Amount divided by the Total 04/05 FFELP
Volume.
