Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.3(d), the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability or obligation in respect of any failed Delivery, as contemplated herein, other than with respect to a Delivery which fails as a result of any action or inaction on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

(b) The Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder and the Noteholders and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Issuer from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, actions, suits, damages and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the gross negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Administrator in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or thereunder.

(c) The Administrator shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity and any of its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, damages, liabilities, costs, penalties, taxes (excluding taxes payable by it on any compensation received by it for its services as Indenture Trustee) or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties under the Indenture and the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Administrator shall defend the claim and the Administrator shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee after it has assumed such defense; provided, however, that in the event that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator in conducting the defense of such claim, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to separate counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(d) The Administrator shall indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee (including in its capacity as Interim Eligible Lender Trustee) and/or the Delaware Trustee in their individual capacities and any of their officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liabilities, actions, suits, claims, damages, costs, penalties, taxes (excluding taxes payable by them on any compensation received by them for their services as trustee) or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties under the Interim Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Delaware Trustee in their individual capacities and any of their officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all liability relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any claim that the Trust Student Loans (or any guarantee with respect thereto) are delinquent, uncollectable, uninsured, illegal, invalid or unenforceable;

(ii) any claim that the Trust Student Loans have not been made, administered, serviced or collected in accordance with applicable federal and state laws or the requirements of any Guarantor;

(iii) any claim that any original note or other document evidencing or relating to the Trust Student Loans has been lost, misplaced or destroyed; and

(iv) any claim for failure to comply with the provisions of 34 CFR Sec. 682.203(b) (other than for the Eligible Lender Trustee’s failure to qualify as an eligible lender under the Act).

(f) The Eligible Lender Trustee and/or the Delaware Trustee shall notify the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Eligible Lender Trustee and/or the Delaware Trustee to so notify the Administrator shall not relieve the Administrator of its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Administrator shall defend the claim and the Administrator shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Eligible Lender Trustee and/or the Delaware Trustee after it has assumed such defense; provided, however, that in the event that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Eligible Lender Trustee and/or the Delaware Trustee and the Administrator in conducting the defense of such claim, the Eligible Lender Trustee and/or the Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to separate counsel, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee through the Eligible Lender Trustee’s or the Delaware Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(g) The Administrator shall pay reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee and shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Delaware Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances.

(h) For purposes of this Section 4.2, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of the Administrator (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 4.3 below) as Administrator pursuant to Section 5.1 below, or a resignation by such Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, such Administrator shall be deemed to be the Administrator pending appointment of a successor Administrator pursuant to Section 5.2 below.

(i) Indemnification under this Section 4.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Administrator shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Administrator, without interest.

Section 4.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Administrator. Any Person (a) into which the Administrator may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Administrator shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Administrator substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Administrator without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrator hereby covenants that it will not consummate any of the foregoing transactions except upon satisfaction of the following: (i) the surviving Administrator, if other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Inc., executes an agreement that states expressly that such Person assumes to perform every obligation of the

Administrator under this Agreement, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 4.1 shall have been breached and no Administrator Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Administrator Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the surviving Administrator, if other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, Inc., shall have delivered to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 4.3 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction, (iv) unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Inc. is the surviving entity, such transaction will not result in a material adverse federal or state tax consequence to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Excess Distribution Certificateholder and (v) unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, Inc. is the surviving entity, the Administrator shall have delivered to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Eligible Lender Trustee and Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Trust Student Loans and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests. Anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrator may at any time assign its rights, obligations and duties under this Agreement to an Affiliate provided that the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes confirm that such assignment will not result in a downgrading or a withdrawal of the ratings then applicable to the Notes.

Section 4.4 Limitation on Liability of Administrator and Others.

(a) Neither the Administrator nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, or to the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee except as provided under this Agreement for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that these provisions shall not protect the Administrator or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Administrator and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to administer the Trust Student Loans and the Trust in accordance with this Agreement

and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Administrator may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the interests of the Excess Distribution Certificateholder under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture and under this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Administrator May Own Excess Distribution Certificate or Notes. The Administrator and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of the Excess Distribution Certificate or the Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Administrator or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Basic Document.

Section 4.6 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Inc. Not to Resign as Administrator. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 above, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, Inc. shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it as Administrator under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law or shall violate any final order of a court or administrative agency with jurisdiction over ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Inc. or its properties. Notice of any such determination permitting or requiring the resignation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, Inc. shall be communicated to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a successor Administrator shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Inc. in accordance with Section 5.2 below. Anything in this Section 4.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrator may resign at any time subsequent to the assignment of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.3 above.

Section 4.7 Privacy and Security Provisions. With respect to information that is “non-public personal information” (as defined in the GLB Regulations) that is disclosed or provided by the Trust (or on the Trust’s behalf) to the Administrator in connection with this Agreement, the Administrator agrees, subject to the terms hereof and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator shall comply with all reuse, redisclosure, or other customer information handling, processing, security, and protection requirements that are specifically required of a non-affiliated third-party processor or servicer (or subcontractor) under the GLB Regulations and other applicable federal consumer privacy laws, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator agrees that:

(a) the Administrator is prohibited from disclosing or using any “non-public personal information” (as defined in the GLB Regulations) disclosed or provided by the Trust or on the Trust’s behalf to the Administrator, except solely to carry out the purposes for which it was disclosed, including use under an exception contained in 12 CFR sections 40.14 or 40.15 or 16 CFR sections 313.14 or 313.15, as applicable, of the GLB Regulations in the ordinary course of business to carry out those purposes; and

(b) the Administrator has implemented and will maintain an information security program designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, Final Rule (12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B) and the Federal Trade Commission’s Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (16 CFR Part 314).

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1 Administrator Default. If any one of the following events (an “Administrator Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) (i) In the event that daily deposits into the Collection Account are not required, any failure by the Administrator to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Trust Accounts any Available Funds required to be paid on or before the Business Day immediately preceding any Distribution Date; or

(ii) any failure by the Administrator to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions from any of the Trust Accounts on any Distribution Date, which failure in case of either clause (i) or (ii) continues unremedied for five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Administrator from the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Administrator; or

(b) any failure by the Administrator duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other term, covenant or agreement of the Administrator set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Noteholders or the Excess Distribution Certificateholder and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Administrator by the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee or (B) to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee by the Noteholders or Excess Distribution Certificateholder, as applicable, representing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or representing the whole of the outstanding Excess Distribution Certificate (including such Excess Distribution Certificate if owned by the Depositor); or

(d) any failure by the Administrator to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Article IX which continues unremedied for 15 calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Administrator Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of all the Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Administrator (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 4.2 above) of the Administrator under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Administrator of such

written notice, all authority and power of the Administrator under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Excess Distribution Certificate, the Trust Student Loans or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Administrator as may be appointed under Section 5.2 below; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The predecessor Administrator shall cooperate with the successor Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Administrator under this Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Administrator (other than the Indenture Trustee acting as the Administrator under this Section 5.1) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of an Administrator Default, the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes.

Section 5.2 Appointment of Successor.

(a) Upon receipt by the Administrator of notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.1 above, or the resignation by the Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Administrator shall continue to perform its functions as Administrator under this Agreement in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date 120 days from the delivery to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Administrator shall become unable to act as Administrator as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel (the “Transfer Date”). In the event of the termination hereunder of the Administrator the Issuer shall appoint a successor Administrator acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and the successor Administrator shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a successor Administrator has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Administrator has ceased to act as Administrator in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the successor Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Administration Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution whose regular business shall include the servicing of student loans, as the successor to the Administrator under this Agreement.

(b) Upon appointment, the successor Administrator (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Administrator), shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Administrator and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the predecessor Administrator that arise thereafter or are related thereto and shall be entitled to an amount agreed to by such successor Administrator (which shall not exceed the Administration Fee unless such compensation arrangements will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of any rating on the Notes or the Excess Distribution Certificate by any Rating Agency then rating the Notes) and all the rights granted to the predecessor Administrator by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee, to the extent it is acting as successor Administrator pursuant hereto and thereto, shall be entitled to resign to the extent a qualified successor Administrator has been appointed and has assumed all the obligations of the Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

Section 5.3 Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholder. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Administrator pursuant to this Article V, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders and the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes (which, in the case of any such appointment of a successor, shall consist of prior written notice thereof to such Rating Agencies).

Section 5.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all the Notes (or the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, in the case of any default which does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders) may, on behalf of all Noteholders and the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, waive in writing any default by the Administrator in the performance of its obligations hereunder and any consequences thereof, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts (or giving instructions regarding the same) in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Administrator Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Termination.

(a) Optional Purchase of All Trust Student Loans. The Administrator shall notify the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing, within 15 days after the last day of any Collection Period as of which the then outstanding Pool Balance is 12% or less of the Initial Pool Balance. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to each Noteholder of record. As of the last day of any Collection Period immediately preceding a Distribution Date as of which the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf and at the direction of the Servicer, or any other “eligible lender” (within the meaning of the Higher Education Act) designated by the Servicer in writing to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall have the option to purchase the Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit, pursuant to Section 2.6 above in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Trust Student Loans plus an amount equal to all net forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans (to the extent not included in the calculation of the Purchase Amount) and the related

rights with respect thereto, plus the appraised value of any such other property held by the Trust other than the Trust Accounts, such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust; provided, however, that the Servicer may not effect such purchase if such aggregate Purchase Amounts do not equal or exceed the Minimum Purchase Amount plus any Carryover Servicing Fees. In the event the Servicer fails to notify the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in writing prior to the acceptance by the Indenture Trustee of a bid to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Indenture that the Servicer intends to exercise its option to purchase the Trust Estate, the Servicer shall be deemed to have waived its option to purchase the Trust Estate as long as the Servicer has received five Business Days’ notice from the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 4.4 of the Indenture.

(b) Notice. Written notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Administrator to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Administrator has received notice thereof.

(c) Succession. Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder shall succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Eligible Lender Trustee shall succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and any other Basic Documents.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 Protection of Interests in Trust.

(a) The Administrator shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Student Loans and in the proceeds thereof. The Administrator shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(b) Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with clause (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506(b) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(c) Each of the Depositor and the Servicer shall have an obligation to give the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Trust Student Loans, and its principal executive office, within the United States of America.

(d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Trust Student Loan accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Trust Student Loan, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Trust Student Loan and the amounts from time to time deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in respect of such Trust Student Loan.

(e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale of the Trust Student Loans to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Trust Student Loan shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in such Trust Student Loan and that such Trust Student Loan is owned by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the Issuer’s, the Eligible Lender Trustee’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Trust Student Loan shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Trust Student Loan shall have been paid in full or repurchased.

(f) If at any time the Depositor or the Administrator shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in student loans to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Trust Student Loan, indicate clearly that such Trust Student Loan has been sold and is owned by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.

(g) Upon reasonable notice, the Servicer shall permit the Indenture Trustee and its agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Trust Student Loan.

(h) Upon request, at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee have reasonable grounds to believe that such request would be necessary in connection with its performance of its duties under the Basic Documents, the Servicer shall furnish to the Eligible Lender Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee (in each case, with a copy to the Administrator), within five Business Days, a list of all Trust Student Loans (by borrower social security number, type of loan and date of issuance) then held as part of the Trust, and the Administrator shall furnish to the Eligible Lender Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee, within 20 Business Days thereafter, a comparison of such list to the list of Trust Student Loans set forth in Schedule A to the Indenture as of the Closing Date and a list of all Additional Trust Student Loans as of the end of the Supplemental Purchase Period, and, for each Trust Student Loan that has been removed from the pool of loans held by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, information as to the date as of which and circumstances under which each such Trust Student Loan was so removed.

(i) The Administrator shall deliver to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee:

(i) promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each amendment thereto and on each Transfer Date, an Opinion of Counsel either (1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Student Loans, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest; and

(ii) within 120 days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Initial Cutoff Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 120-day period, either (1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Student Loans, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest; provided that a single Opinion of Counsel may be delivered in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement and that of Section 3.6(b) of the Indenture.

(j) Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in subclause (i) or (ii) of clause (i) above shall specify (as of the date of such opinion and given all applicable laws as in effect on such date) any action necessary to be taken in the following year to preserve and protect such interest.

(k) The Depositor shall, to the extent required by applicable law, cause the Excess Distribution Certificate and the Notes to be registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in such sections.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1 Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer or the Eligible Lender Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Nothing contained in this Agreement (a) shall constitute the Administrator and either of the Issuer or the Eligible Lender Trustee as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (c) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.

Section 8.3 Other Activities of Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

(c) This Agreement (other than Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above) may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee, and Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above may also be amended by the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of

the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments with respect to Trust Student Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding Noteholders.
