the discovery of any breach of Seller's representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 5 hereof which has a materially adverse effect on the

material breach which is not curable by reinstatement of the applicable
Guarantor's guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, Seller shall repurchase any
affected Trust Student Loan not later than 120 days following the earlier of the
date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the
Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In
the event of such a material breach which is curable by reinstatement of the
applicable Guarantor's guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, unless the material
breach shall have been cured within 360 days following the earlier of the date
of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor
reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan, the Seller
shall purchase such Trust Student Loan not later than the sixtieth day following
the end of such 360-day period. The Seller shall also remit as provided in
Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement on the date of purchase of any Trust
Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6 an amount equal to all non-guaranteed
interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance
Payments with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In consideration of the
purchase of any such Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6, the Seller
shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the
Administration Agreement.
In addition, if any breach of Section 5 hereof by the Seller does not
trigger such purchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Guarantor
to guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest (or any obligation of the
Purchaser to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the loss (including any
obligation of the Purchaser to repay the Department) of Interest Subsidy
Payments and Special Allowance Payments, with respect to any Trust Student Loan
affected by such breach, then the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser by
remitting an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts
and such forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments in
the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement not later
than (i) the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than 60 days
from the date of the Guarantor's refusal to guarantee all or a portion of
accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance
Payments, or (ii) in the case where the Seller reasonably believes such losses
are likely to be collected, not later than the last day of the next Collection
Period ending not less than 360 days from the date of the Guarantor's refusal to
guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy
Payments or Special Allowance Payments. At the time such payment is made, the
Seller shall not be required to reimburse the Purchaser for interest that is
then capitalized, however, such amounts shall be reimbursed if the borrower
subsequently defaults and such capitalized interest is not paid by the
Guarantor.
-11-
Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, if as of the
last Business Day of any month the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Trust Student Loans with respect to which claims have been filed with and
rejected by a Guarantor or with respect to which the Servicer determines that
claims cannot be filed pursuant to the Higher Education Act as a result of a
breach by the Seller or the Servicer, exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, the Seller
or the Servicer shall purchase, within 30 days of a written request of the
Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, such affected Trust Student
Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that after such purchase the
aggregate principal amount of such affected Trust Student Loans is less than 1%
of the Pool Balance. The Trust Student Loans to be purchased by the Seller or
the Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be based on the date of
claim rejection (or the date of notice referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 6), with Trust Student Loans with the earliest such date to be purchased
first.
In lieu of repurchasing Trust Student Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the
Seller may, at its option, substitute Eligible Loans or arrange for the
substitution of Eligible Loans which are substantially similar on an aggregate
basis as of the date of substitution to the Trust Student Loans for which they
are being substituted with respect to the following characteristics:

(4) total return,
(5) principal balance, and
(6) remaining term to maturity.
In addition, each substituted Eligible Loan will comply, as of the date of
substitution, with all of the representations and warranties made hereunder. In
choosing Eligible Loans to be substituted pursuant to this Section 6, the Seller
shall make a reasonable determination that the Eligible Loans to be substituted
will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders.
In the event that Seller elects to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to
this Section 6, the Seller will remit to the Administrator the amount of any
shortfall between the Purchase Amount of the substituted Eligible Loans and the
Purchase Amount of the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted.
The Seller shall also remit to the Administrator an amount equal to all
non-guaranteed interest amounts and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and
Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans in the manner
provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement. The sole remedy of the
Purchaser, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a
breach by the Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be to require the Seller
to purchase Trust Student Loans, to reimburse the Purchaser as provided above or
to substitute Student Loans pursuant to this Section. The Eligible Lender

penalty pursuant to this Section 6.

in defending against the same.
(ii) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Purchaser and the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity

expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising

(iii) The Seller shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Eligible Lender Trustee in

have been satisfied with respect to such transaction, (iv) if the Seller is not
the surviving entity, such transaction will not result in a material adverse
Federal or state tax consequence to the Purchaser or the Noteholders and (v) if
the Seller is not the surviving entity, the Seller shall have delivered to the

Trustee, respectively, in the 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.
SECTION 11. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SELLER AND OTHERS
The Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent thereof 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 (provided that such reliance shall not limit in any way the
Seller's obligations under Section 6 herein). The Seller shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be
incidental to its obligations under these Master Sale Terms or any Sale
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
Except as provided herein, the repurchase (or substitution) and reimbursement
obligations of Seller will constitute the sole remedy available to Purchaser for
uncured breaches; provided, however, that the information with respect to the
Loans listed on the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale may be adjusted in the ordinary course of
business subsequent to the date of the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and to the extent that the
aggregate Principal Balance listed on the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale is less than the
aggregate Principal Balance stated on the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, Seller shall remit such
amount to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of the Purchaser. Such
reconciliation payment shall be made from time to time but no less frequently
than semi-annually.
SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF ELIGIBLE LENDER TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, these Master
Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement have been signed by Chase Manhattan Bank USA,
National Association not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity
as Eligible Lender Trustee for the Purchaser and the Interim Eligible Lender
Trustee for the Seller, as the case may be, and in no event shall Chase
Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in its individual capacity, have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee,
the Purchaser or of the Seller, respectively, under these Master Sale Terms or
any Sale Agreement or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements
delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to
the assets of the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be.
SECTION 13. EXPENSES
Except as otherwise provided herein, each party to these Master Sale Terms
or any Sale Agreement shall pay its own expense incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of these Master Sale Terms or any Sale
Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein or therein.

SECTION 14. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS/SUPERSESSION
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and
in or pursuant to any Sale Agreements executed pursuant to these Master Sale
Terms shall survive the consummation of the purchase of the Loans provided for
in each Sale Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made or furnished pursuant hereto by or for the benefit of Seller
shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of Purchaser
and shall survive with respect to each Loan. Each Sale Agreement supersedes all
previous agreements and understandings between Purchaser and Seller with respect
to the subject matter thereof. A Sale Agreement may be changed, modified or
discharged, and any rights or obligations hereunder may be waived, only by a
written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of the party against whom
enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. The
waiver by Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty
required to be made or furnished by Seller or the waiver by Purchaser of any
provision herein contained or contained in any Sale Agreement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any breach of any other covenant, agreement,
representation, warranty or provision herein contained or contained in any Sale
Agreement, nor shall any waiver or any custom or practice which may evolve
between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof or of any Sale
Agreement, be construed to lessen the right of Purchaser to insist upon the
performance by Seller in strict accordance with said terms.
SECTION 15. COMMUNICATION AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
All communications, notices and approvals provided for hereunder shall be
in writing and mailed or delivered to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be,
addressed as set forth in the Sale Agreement or at such other address as either
party may hereafter designate by notice to the other party. Notice given in any
such communication, mailed to Seller or Purchaser by appropriately addressed
registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given on the day following the
date of such mailing.
SECTION 16. FORM OF INSTRUMENTS
All instruments and documents delivered in connection with these Master
Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement, and all proceedings to be taken in connection
with these Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein and therein, shall be in a form as set forth in the
attachments hereto, and Purchaser shall have received copies of such documents
as it or its counsel shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Any
instrument or document which is substantially in the same form as an Attachment
hereto or a recital herein will be deemed to be satisfactory as to form.
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT
These Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement may be amended by the
parties thereto without the consent of the related Noteholders for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of such Master Sale Terms and Sale Agreements or of modifying in any
manner the rights of such Noteholders; provided that such

Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any such Noteholder.
In addition, these Master Sale Terms and any Sale Agreement may also be
amended from time to time by the Seller, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee,
the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Purchaser, 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 these Master Sale Terms or any Sale
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the
amount of, or accelerate or delay the time of, collections of payments with
respect to Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the
benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding
Noteholders.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the
case of the Rating Agencies, five Business Days prior thereto), the Eligible
Lender Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee, and each of the Rating Agencies.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to these Master Sale Terms, the
Eligible Lender Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel stating that execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by
this Sale Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 7.1I(i) of
the Administration Agreement. The Eligible Lender Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Eligible Lender
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 18. NONPETITION COVENANTS
Notwithstanding any prior termination of these Master Sale Terms, Seller
and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall not acquiesce, petition or
otherwise invoke or cause Purchaser to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against
Purchaser under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or

otherwise invoke or cause Seller to invoke the process of commencing or
