Gentlemen:

 

As you know, Golf Trust
of America, Inc. (the “Company”) has engaged Houlihan Lokey Howard &
Zukin (“Houlihan”) to assist the Company in its implementation of the Company’s
stockholder approved plan of liquidation or a recapitalization of the
Company.  In the foregoing context, and
in consideration of a more expeditious completion of the Company’s liquidation
process, which the Company expects will allow the Company to maximize the value
received by all of its stockholders, the Company requests that AEW Targeted
Securities Fund, L.P. (“AEW”) confirm by countersigning below AEW’s agreement
to and approval of the terms of this letter agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

1.  Option Agreement.

 

1.1.          AEW hereby grants the Company the
option (the “Option”), exercisable by the Company in the Company’s sole
discretion, to purchase, on or before November 30, 2005 (the “Option
Termination Date”), all 800,000 shares of the Company’s Series A
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock held by AEW Targeted
Securities Fund, L.P. (“AEW”) including, without limitation, all of AEW’s
rights to Liquidation Preferences (as defined in the Company’s Articles
Supplementary, including, without limitation, Liquidation Preferences in
respect of any accrued and unpaid dividends) payable in respect of such shares

price of $24,913,888.89 (the “Exercise Price”).

 

 

1.2           Exercise of the Company’s purchase
rights pursuant to the Option may be made at any time on or before the Option
Termination Date by delivery to AEW in the manner set forth in Section 6
of this Agreement of a duly executed notice of exercise in the form set forth
in Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice”), provided that within three (3) business
days of the date the Notice is delivered to AEW, the Company shall have
delivered to AEW the Exercise Price by wire transfer or cashier’s check of
immediately available funds drawn on a United States bank.

 

1.3           Upon the Company’s exercise of the
Option and payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2,
all rights of AEW pursuant to any agreements between AEW and the Company, the

Shares shall be authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock to which AEW

governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over AEW, and no
consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any
governmental body or agency is required for the performance by AEW of its
obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.3           AEW has, and on the
date that the Company exercises the Option (if the Option is exercised) will
have (i) good and marketable title to the Series A Shares to be sold
by AEW free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities or
other encumbrances known to or arising through AEW (except for encumbrances
arising under this Agreement), and (ii) the legal right and power, and all
authorization and approval required by law, to (A) enter into this Agreement,
and to (B) sell, transfer and deliver the Series A Shares to be sold

2.4           Upon delivery to the
Company of certificates representing the Series A Shares to be sold by
AEW, each endorsed to the Company or in blank, by an effective endorsement and

Agreement or the USA LPA, as modified by this Settlement Agreement, they will
continue in a commercially reasonable manner to provide into Bank One’s EFIS
system whatever information regarding the Bank One loans that the Sallie Mae
Parties were providing into the EFIS system prior to July 1, 2004.

 

C.                                     The
Sallie Mae Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly,
but no more than fourteen (14) days after the execution of this Settlement
Agreement, return to Bank One all Bank Data, Bank Customer Data, and Bank
Student Loan Customer Data pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Marketing

containing such Confidential Information pursuant to Section 9 of the
Amended and Restated Confidentiality Agreement. 
Bank One, in turn, agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly, but no more than fourteen (14) days after execution of this
Settlement Agreement, require all EOG employees who become employees of Bank
One to return to EOG all Company Data. The Sallie Mae Parties further covenant
and agree that all back-up copies of all Bank Data, Bank Customer Data, and
Bank Student Loan Customer Data will be destroyed in accordance with Sallie Mae’s
normal backup destruction procedures, and that prior to such destruction, the
Sallie Mae Parties will not use the Bank Data, Bank Customer Data, and Bank
Student Loan Customer Data for any purpose whatsoever.

but no more than fourteen (14) days after the execution of this Settlement
Agreement, deliver to Bank One (or destroy) all Templates and Marketing
Materials in their possession or control upon which the Licensed Marks appear,

in this Section 4 shall be interpreted as requiring the Sallie Mae Parties
to return or destroy their general marketing material upon which Bank One may
be listed, if such material was not produced solely for use by EOG.

6.                                      ExportSS Agreement.

 

The
ExportSS Agreement is hereby amended as of July 1, 2004 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.  ECFC will have the right to designate the
name of the purchaser of all loans sold under the ExportSS Agreement, which
shall be a subsidiary of SLM Corporation or an affiliate of one of the Sallie
Mae Parties.   Pursuant to Section 22
of the ExportSS Agreement, Bank One intends to assign the ExportSS Agreement to
Banc One Education Finance Corp., and Banc One Education Finance Corp. intends
to assume such obligations.   If such
assignment occurs, Bank One shall also assign, and Banc One Education Finance
Corp. shall assume, the loan sale obligations of Bank One under the ExportSS
Agreement, as modified by this Settlement Agreement, with respect to loans made
by Banc One Education Finance Corp.  Upon
the effective date of such assignment, the rights and obligations of Bank One
under the ExportSS Agreement shall only apply to Banc One Education Finance
Corp. and not to Bank One.  Nothing in
this Section 6.A shall be deemed a release of any obligations of Bank One
under the ExportSS Agreement with respect to any Education Loans made by Bank
One (i) prior to the effective date of such assignment or (ii) after the
effective date

 

7

 

of such assignment (unless,
with respect to this clause (ii) only, Bank One merges into JPMorgan Chase
Bank, in which event this clause 6.A(ii) shall not apply with respect to
Education Loans made after the effective date of such merger).  Bank One and JPMorgan further agree that
through the period ending August 31, 2008 they will not use the Bank One
or Banc One names in connection with making or marketing Education Loans other
than through Bank One, Banc One Education Finance Corp., or any other Bank One
affiliate that was a Bank One affiliate prior to July 1, 2004 (and if they
do make or market Education Loans through such Bank One affiliate, they will
cause such Bank One affiliate to assume the loan sale obligations of Bank One
under the ExportSS Agreement, as modified by this Settlement Agreement, with
respect to loans made by such Bank One affiliate).

 

B.                                     Notwithstanding
anything in the ExportSS Agreement to the contrary, Loans made by Bank One
under the Act that are serviced by Great Lakes Education Loan Services, Inc. or
its predecessors, affiliates, or successors (“GLELSI”) that are guaranteed for
the 2004-2005 Academic Year will continue to be sold under the terms of the
ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this Section 6 herein.  Loans made by Bank One under the Act that are
serviced by GLELSI that are guaranteed for the 2005-2006 and subsequent
Academic Years during the Commitment Period under the ExportSS Agreement that
are (1) Serial Loans or (2) made to borrowers in connection with attendance at
the schools listed on Schedule 3 hereof will remain subject to sale
under the terms set forth in the ExportSS Agreement as amended by this Section 6
hereof. For purposes of clarity, effective as of the date hereof, the schools
listed on Schedule 3 hereto shall not be deemed to be Custom Deal
Loan schools (but nothing in this Section 6.B shall be interpreted as
preventing such schools from becoming Custom Deal Loan schools in the
future).  The obligations set forth in Section 6.B(2)
hereof shall not be applicable to any school listed on Schedule 3
hereof if an EOG Related Person provides Custom Deal Loans (as defined in Section 6
herein) to such school and Bank One is not on the preferred lender list at such
school originating such Custom Deal Loans at such school, but this exclusion
shall only apply with respect to loans made after the date Bank One is removed
from such preferred lender list.

 

C.                                   Except
as otherwise provided in Section 6.B, Section 7.E(2), and Section 7.E(3)
below, the obligations under Section 9 (Future Required Sales) of the
ExportSS Agreement and Section 10 – (Sales to Third Parties) of the
ExportSS Agreement do not include: (1) any Loans made by Bank One under the Act
or (2) any non-FFELP loans made by Bank One that are not a Private Loan as
defined in the ExportSS Agreement, which, with respect to (1) and/or (2) above,
are processed by or through Sallie Mae’s OpenNet File Management System or its
successor file management system and that are not otherwise also originated,
processed and/or serviced by SLM Corporation, Sallie Mae, or any of their
subsidiaries or affiliates on their respective originations and/or servicing
platforms.

 

D.                                    Notwithstanding
the definition of Purchase Price under the ExportSS Agreement, the Purchase
Price under the ExportSS Agreement for the Commitment Period, as amended by
this Settlement Agreement, and for all Loans and Serial Loans required to be
sold after the termination or expiration of the Commitment Period, is as
follows:

 

(1)          for
Eligible FFELP Loans (except for Custom Deal Loans described below), (a)
100.00% of the aggregate Principal Balance of such Eligible FFELP

 

8

 

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; and

 

(2)          for
Custom Deal Loans that are FFELP Loans (other than Custom Deal Loans made in
connection with attendance at the schools listed in Schedule 1
hereto), (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; and

 

(3)          for
Custom Deal Loans that are FFELP Loans made in connection with attendance at
schools listed in Schedule 1 hereto, (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.  This revised pricing will apply with respect
to all such Loans made to Borrowers at the schools listed in Schedule 1
hereto, and to Loans made to Borrowers at other Indiana University campuses, if
such Borrowers receive substantially identical benefits as described in the
letter dated January 28, 2004, to Jennifer Foutty of Indiana University, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 7 (the “Indiana Custom
Deal”), including Serial Loans originated after the expiration of such Indiana
Custom Deal if such Serial Loans are provided substantially identical benefits
as the benefits that were provided in the Indiana Custom Deal.  Sallie Mae, Inc. agrees to provide prompt
written notice to Bank One detailing any change(s) to the benefits provided in
the Indiana Custom Deal; and

 

(4)          for
FFELP Loans that have passed the required sales dates set forth in Section 9
(Future Required Sales), and the reason for such fact is not due to the fault
of an EOG Related Person, the applicable EOG Related Person may, if it so
chooses, purchase any such Loans that are not more than 60 days delinquent in
the payment of principal and interest as of the date of sale under the terms of
the ExportSS Agreement, at the applicable Purchase Price set forth in the
ExportSS Agreement, as amended in Section 6 hereof; and

 

(5)          for
FFELP Loans being purchased that were made to finance attendance at an
educational institution for which the Institutional Default Rate equals or exceeds
25%, (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, minus a
servicing charge of $8.00 for each Account containing such a Loan.

 

9

 

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), and
(iii) loans made in connection with attendance at such 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 Section 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 (collectively, “Custom Deal Loans”), it being
understood that neither party is under any obligation to agree to such
participation in a Custom Deal at any such school.

 

F.                                      Bank
One agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Settlement
Agreement, it shall, during the term of the ExportSS Agreement, only offer to
make Signature Loans, MBA LOAN Private Loans, LAWLOAN Private Loans and/or
Opportunity Loans at a particular school during a given Academic Year if it
also agrees to sell all non-Serial FFELP loans it makes at such particular
school during the same Academic Year to ECFC or its designee on the sales
timing set forth in Section 9 (Future Required Sales) of the ExportSS
Agreement and for the Purchase Price as defined in Section 6.D
hereof.  The sale of Serial FFELP Loans
that Bank One makes at such particular school will be governed by the ExportSS
Agreement, as amended by this Settlement Agreement.  Additionally, the Parties agree that all
FFELP Loans that are MBALoans or LAWLOANS will be originated, serviced, and
purchased on the terms set forth in the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this
Settlement Agreement (with the pricing as set forth in Section 6.D above).

 

G.                                     The
Definition of Growth FFELP Volume in, and Attachment J to, the ExportSS
Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.

 

H.                                    During
the Commitment Period of the ExportSS Agreement and with respect to all Serial
Loans required to be sold under the ExportSS Agreement after the expiration or
termination of the ExportSS Agreement, as amended by this Settlement Agreement,
Bank One shall remain a Lender under the MEDLOANS loan program offered by EOG
Related Persons and the Association of American Medical Colleges pursuant to
the Agreement between the applicable EOG Related Persons and the Association of
American Medical Colleges; provided, that, if an EOG Related Person offers a
MEDLOANS loan program to a particular school that meets the definition of
Custom Deal Loans under Section 6.E(iii) above, Bank One and the
applicable EOG Related Persons must both agree 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 such school.

 

I.                                         Section 21
of the ExportSS Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following provision: “Bank
One will give Sallie Mae 60 days’ written notice if Sallie Mae breaches any of
its obligations in this Agreement.  If
Sallie Mae does not cure the breach by the end of the 60 days, Bank One may
terminate the Agreement in whole or part.”

 

10

 

J.                                        The
limitation on indirect, consequential or exemplary damages provided for in Section 7
of the ExportSS Agreement shall also be applicable to Bank One.

 

K.                                    The
fees set forth in Attachment A and Attachment A-1 of the ExportSS Agreement
applicable as of the date hereof shall not be increased during the Commitment
Period, or for all Loans and Serial Loans required to be sold after the
termination or expiration of the ExportSS Agreement.

 

7.                                      USA
LPA and Commitment.

 

The
USA LPA and Commitment are hereby amended as of July 1, 2004 as follows:

 

A.                                   Notwithstanding
the termination of the Marketing Agreement, the purchase price for Loans
payable under the USA LPA remains unchanged, unless and until Bank One
exercises its rights to terminate the USA LPA, and then the price will be as
set forth in Section 7.E(2) below. 
In accordance with Section II.H of the USA LPA, if Bank One
exercises its right to terminate the USA LPA and remits to Sallie Mae the
termination fee set forth in the USA LPA (discussed below), beginning on the
date of termination of the USA LPA, the premium to be paid with respect to
Loans and Serial Loans sold to Sallie Mae under the USA LPA shall be 1.00%,
which percentage shall be deemed the weighted average of the premiums
applicable to Loans purchased during the Term.

 

B.                                     Bank
One will be entitled to all Net Earnings and Bank One will be responsible for
payment of the 50 basis point Department of Education lender fee with respect
to all Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2004.  Bank One and Sallie Mae agree to work
together to perform the necessary accounting and payment reconciliations to
effectuate the intent of this provision. SMS will have the right to designate the
name of the purchaser of all loans sold under the USA LPA.

 

C.                                     The
Minimum Premium obligations under Section III.D of the USA LPA are hereby
deleted.

 

D.                                    Bank
One shall have the right to terminate the USA LPA under Section IX.G(b) by
providing written notice of its election to terminate the USA LPA on or prior
to October 1, 2004 and remitting within 10 days after providing such
notice a termination fee calculated pursuant to Section IX.G(b) of the USA
LPA.  Sallie Mae hereby represents and
agrees that the termination fee under Section IX.G(b) is
$9,000,000.00.  For purposes of
clarification, upon termination of the USA LPA, the provision of Section IX.G(b)
of the USA LPA following the words “provided, however” shall have no further
force or effect.

 

E.                                      If
Bank One provides notice of its election to terminate the USA LPA on or prior
to October 1, 2004 and remits within 10 days after providing such notice
the termination fee, then the USA LPA shall be terminated effective on the date
of payment of the termination fee, and then:

 

11

 

(1)  The EOG
Related Persons’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such termination of
the USA LPA shall be the receipt of such termination fee.  The EOG Related Persons, and each of them,
may not oppose, challenge, contest or seek any form of recourse or relief
against the Bank One Related Persons, and the EOG Related Persons, and each of
them, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and discharge, to the
fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Bank One Related Persons
from, and covenant not to assert against the Bank One Related Persons in any
forum, any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, actions, causes of action,
debts, liabilities, damages, costs, fees, expenses, rights, duties,
obligations, liens, petitions, suits, losses, controversies, executions,
offsets and sums, of any kind or nature, whether direct or indirect, liquidated
or unliquidated, contingent or actual, in law or equity, known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, in contract or tort, or of whatever type or nature,
regarding, arising out of, related to, resulting from or in connection with
(i) Bank One’s termination of the USA LPA, or (ii) any of the Bank One
Related Persons’ actions taken in connection therewith (collectively the “ EOG
USA LPA Released Claims”).

 

(2)  All Loans that are guaranteed for the
2004-2005 Academic Year that Bank One would otherwise, in the absence of such
termination, be required to sell to SMS under the USA LPA, will instead be sold
to ECFC or its affiliate (or other designee) pursuant to the provisions of the
USA LPA, as modified by this Settlement Agreement, but at the sales timing set
forth in the ExportSS Agreement and for the weighted average premium set forth
in Section 7.A. above.

 

(3)  Serial Loans that are required to be sold
under the post termination provisions of the USA LPA will continue to be sold
to ECFC (or its designee) at the weighted average premium set forth in Section 7.A
above and at the sales timing set forth in the ExportSS Agreement.

 

F.                                      The
origination and servicing fees charged by Sallie Mae, Inc. or its successors or
assigns under the USA Group Master Agreement for Loans under the Federal Family
Education Loan Program, dated October 1, 1999, as of the date hereof shall
not be increased prior to the termination of the USA LPA, or for all Loans and
Serial Loans required to be sold after the termination or expiration of the USA
LPA.

 

G.                                     Bank
One intends to assign the USA LPA to Banc One Education Finance Corp., and Banc
One Education Finance Corp. intends to assume such obligations.   If such assignment occurs, Bank One shall
also assign, and Banc One Education Finance Corp. shall assume, the loan sale
obligations of Bank One under the USA LPA, as modified by this Settlement
Agreement, with respect to loans made by Banc One Education Finance Corp.  Upon the effective date of such assignment,
the rights and obligations of Bank One under the USA LPA shall only apply to
Banc One Education Finance Corp. and not to Bank One.  Nothing in this Section 7.G shall be
deemed a release of any obligations of Bank One under the USA LPA with respect
to any Education Loans made by Bank One (i) prior to the effective date of such
assignment or (ii) after the effective date of such assignment (unless, with
respect to this clause (ii) only, Bank One merges into JPMorgan Chase Bank, in
which event this clause 7.G(ii) shall not apply with respect to Education Loans
made after the effective date of such merger). 
Bank

 

12

 

One and JPMorgan further
agree that through the period ending August 31, 2008 they will not use the
Bank One or Banc One names in connection with making or marketing Education
Loans other than through Bank One, Banc One Education Finance Corp., or any
other Bank One affiliate that was a Bank One affiliate prior to July 1,
2004 (and if they do make or market Education Loans through such Bank One
affiliate, they will cause such Bank One affiliate to assume the loan sale
obligations of Bank One under the USA LPA, as modified by this Settlement
Agreement, with respect to loans made by such Bank One affiliate).

 

8.                                      Education
One Loans.

 

A.                                   With
respect to Education One Loans, as defined in the Marketing Agreement, that are
first disbursed on or prior to December 31, 2004, Bank One will continue
to remit to EOG its share of the Compensation in accordance with the terms of Section 9.4
of the Marketing Agreement, notwithstanding the termination of the Marketing Agreement.  Bank One agrees not to change the sales
timing or terms of sale with respect to such Education One Loans without EOG’s
prior written consent.  Bank One’s actual
and direct costs (including expenses, such as marketing costs and origination
costs) incurred and associated with the marketing of the Education One Loans
that are first disbursed on or prior to December 31, 2004 (“Reimbursable
Expenses”) will be reimbursed to Bank One within 30 days of Sallie Mae’s
receipt of an invoice detailing the Reimbursable Expenses.  Bank One shall have the right to offset
against the Compensation owed to EOG set forth in this Section 8.A. above
any Reimbursable Expenses owed to Bank One.

 

B.                                     Bank
One will use all commercially reasonable efforts to continue to market
Education One Loans in substantially the same manner as was set forth in EOG’s
marketing plan for the 2004-2005 Academic Year (as annexed in Schedule 5
hereto), but solely as it relates to the sourcing of loans with a first
disbursement on or prior to December 31, 2004.  Through December 31, 2004, Bank One
will, subject to the terms thereof, maintain in full force and effect all
agreements between Bank One and any other parties relating to the marketing of
Education One Loans, for the purpose of enhancing the aggregate principal
balance of Education One Loans that are first disbursed prior to December 31,
2004.  Through December 31, 2004,

This

any statement or representation to any

 

15

 

other Party regarding a

understandings, or representations with respect to the subject matter of this

Law.

 

This
Settlement Agreement shall be subject to, governed by, and construed and

principles of conflict of laws.

 

15.                               Severability.

 

The
Parties agree that if any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction
determines that any provision of this Settlement Agreement is illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be
severed from this Settlement Agreement and the remainder of this Settlement
Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and
effect.

 

16.                               Binding Effect.

If any
action at law or in equity is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of

16

 

19.                               Interpretation.

 

The
Parties agree that each and every provision of this Settlement Agreement shall
be deemed to have been simultaneously drafted by all Parties, and no laws or

particular clause should be applied to the interpretation or enforcement of
this Settlement Agreement.

 

20.                               No Waiver.

 

No
breach of any provision hereof can be waived unless in writing signed by the
party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.  Waiver of any one breach of any provisions
hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of the same or
other provisions hereof.  This Settlement
Agreement may be amended only in writing by the parties-in-interest at the time
of the modification.  If any provision of
this Settlement Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being
impaired or invalidated in any way.  The
Parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most
closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

Paragraph
titles or captions contained herein are inserted as a matter of convenience and

this Settlement Agreement or any provision thereof.

 

22.                               No
Admission.

 

The
Parties agree and acknowledge that this Settlement Agreement is the result of a
compromise of doubtful and disputed claims and this Settlement Agreement and
the negotiations therefor shall never at any time for any purpose be construed
as an admission by any Party of any liability or responsibility to another, or
to be an admission or concession as to the merits of any claim asserted by any
Party.  Nothing herein shall in any way
limit the use of this Settlement Agreement as evidence in a proceeding to
enforce any or all of the terms hereof.

 

23.                               Representation
by Counsel.

Party hereto acknowledges the adequacy and sufficiency of the consideration for
this Settlement Agreement, including without limitation, the payment of the
termination fee pursuant to the Marketing Agreement or the USA LPA, the mutual
releases and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and each Party
waives any right to contest the

 

17

 

enforcement or validity
of this Settlement Agreement based on any claim or defense of lack of
consideration.

 

25.                               No
Rescission.

Party agrees that this Settlement Agreement shall be binding and that each

Agreement shall only be brought in the Circuit or Superior Court of Hamilton
County, Indiana, or the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Indiana, Indianapolis division, which courts shall have exclusive
jurisdiction with respect to any and all proceedings brought under, concerning
or in connection with this Settlement Agreement.  The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue
in such courts is appropriate and irrevocably consent to the exercise of
personal jurisdiction by such courts with respect to such matters.  The Parties further consent to service at
their principal places of business.

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 those in effect for Academic Year
2004/2005.  These loan programs are
reviewed on an annual basis

 

39

 

and are subject to
change.  Sallie Mae will consult with
Indiana University on any material changes prior to their implementation.  This includes any changes to the rates and
fees.

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

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.)

 

•                              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.

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 [**]

long as they continue to pay one time. 
(Note: this interest rate reduction cannot exceed the actual interest

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.

 

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.

 

48

 

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 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.

 

•                              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.

 

50

 

•                              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.

•                              The customers must enroll
in Manage Your Loans and sign up to receive account information by e-mail.

•                              The customer may make
his/her initial 33 scheduled payments on time.

 

Customers
must satisfy the above requirements as of the due date of their initial 33rd
scheduled payment.

SCHEDULE 8

 

BILL OF SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF INTERESTS IN ASSETS

 

This
Bill of Sale and Assignment of Interests in Assets (the “Bill of Sale”) is
executed effective as of the           
day of                                          ,
2004 (“Effective Date”) by and between Education One Group, Inc. (“Seller”), an
Indiana corporation, and Bank One, National Association (“Purchaser”), a
national banking association.

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS,
Purchaser and Seller, among others, are parties to that certain Settlement
Agreement and Release (“Settlement Agreement”) dated as of July 30, 2004;
and

 

WHEREAS,
the parties hereto desire to execute a document to record and evidence the
transfer and sale of those assets identified in the Settlement Agreement that
are being sold and transferred by Seller to Purchaser.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, pursuant to section 4 of the Settlement Agreement and in
consideration of [**] Dollars ($[**]), the foregoing premises, and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to Purchaser, and Purchaser
hereby purchases from Seller, as of the Effective Date, any and all of the
Seller’s interest in and to the Transferred Property set forth in Exhibit A
hereto.

 

The
Seller herby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Effective Date,
to the extent owned, leased, or licensed by Seller and subject to any
restrictions on assignment and other legal limitations contained within any
such license or lease agreement, that:

 

(a)                                There
are no existing options, commitments or rights with, of or to any person to
acquire any of the Transferred Property or any interest therein.

 

(b)                               The
Seller has good, valid and marketable title in and to all of the Transferred
Property, free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, and security
interests, of any nature whatsoever.

 

(c)                                To
the extent that the Seller’s rights with respect to any of the Transferred
Property may not be assigned without the consent of a third party (a “Required
Consent”) or notice to a third party (a “Required Notice”), then: (a) Seller
and Purchaser shall work together to give any Required Notices in connection
with the transfer of such property to Purchaser; and (b) Seller and Purchaser
shall work together to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such
Required Consents. Seller and Purchaser will provide each other with
documentation of any Required Notice, and request for and/or receipt of any
Required Notice. Failure to obtain any such Required Consent shall not
constitute an agreement on the part of Seller and Purchaser to breach the
agreement with such third party that required such Required Consent.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate with

 

56

 

Seller
in obtaining such Required Consents. In the event that, despite the parties’
commercially reasonable efforts to do so a Required Consent is not obtained,
then Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith with the third party from which
such Required Consent is required to obtain the right to use the Transferred
Property in question. In the event such efforts of Purchaser are unsuccessful,
Purchaser shall either (a) return such item of Transferred Property to Seller;
or (b) agree, with Seller’s consent, which will not unreasonably be withheld,
to assume the risk associated with the transfer of such item of Transferred
Property and agree to hold Seller harmless from same.

 

(d)                                 The
Transferred Property sold pursuant to this Bill of Sale is SOLD WITHOUT ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN.  SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in
the Settlement Agreement.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned, by its respective duly authorized
officer has set his hand effective as of the day and year first noted above.
