The Notes

                SECTION 2.01      Form.  The Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-8, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

          The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

          Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-8, are part of the terms of this Indenture.

                SECTION 2.02      Execution, Authentication and Delivery.   The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

          Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

          The Indenture Trustee shall upon an Issuer Order authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in (i) an aggregate principal amount of $268,016,000 with respect to the Class A-1 Notes, $308,734,000 with respect to the Class A-2 Notes, $94,225,000 with respect to the Class A-3 Notes, $213,875,000 with respect to the Class A-4 Notes, $31,230,000 with respect to the Class B Notes, $62,460,000 with respect to the Class C Notes and $62,460,000 with respect to the Class D Notes and (ii) an aggregate Notional Amount of $213,875,000 with respect to the Class A-IO Notes.

          No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

               SECTION 2.03      Temporary Notes.   Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

          If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the holder of the Notes. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like initial principal amount or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

                 SECTION 2.04      Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  (a) The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor.

                 (b)           If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the principal amounts or Notional Amount, as applicable, and number of such Notes.

                 (c)           Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the holder of the Notes thereof or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

                 (d)           No service charge shall be made to a holder of the Notes for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.

                 (e)           On the Closing Date, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee will, upon Issuer Order, authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount (or, in the case of the Class A-IO Notes, an aggregate Notional Amount) that shall equal the applicable Original Principal Balance for each Class of Notes.

          The Global Notes, pursuant to the Depository's instructions, shall be delivered by the Administrator on behalf of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian, and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

"Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."

          The Global Notes may be deposited with such other Depository as the Administrator may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate; provided that such successor Depository maintains a book-entry system that qualifies to be treated as "registered form" under Section 163(f) of the Code.

          The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a Note Depository Agreement with the Depository relating to the Global Notes.

                 (f)       With respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Administrator, the Back-Up Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to Participants or Indirect Participants or Beneficial Owners for which the Depository holds Notes from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator, the Back-Up Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Participant or Indirect Participant or Beneficial Owners with respect to the ownership interest in the Notes, (b) the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Noteholder, (c) the payment to any Participant or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Noteholder as shown in the Note Register, of any amount with respect to any distribution of principal or interest on the Notes or (d) the making of book-entry transfers among Participants of the Depository with respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of the nominee of the Depository. No Person other than a registered Noteholder as shown in the Note Register shall receive a Note evidencing such Note.

                 (g)       Upon delivery by the Depository to the Indenture Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment of distributions by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered Noteholder appearing as registered owners in the Note Register on a Record Date, the name "Cede & Co." in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.

           Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar and, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Issuer shall execute in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note of the same principal balance or Notional Amount and dated the date of authentication by the Indenture Trustee. The Note Registrar shall notify the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee of any such transfer.

          No Note may be acquired directly or indirectly by a fiduciary of, on behalf of, or with "Plan Assets" (within the meaning of Section 2510.3-101 of the U.S. Department of Labor regulations (the "Plan Asset Regulation")) of, an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or any other entity whose underlying assets include Plan Assets by reason of any plan's investment in the entity, which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), unless (i) such Note is rated investment grade or better as of the date of purchase, (ii) the transferee of the Note believes that the Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation and agrees to so treat such Note and (iii) the acquisition and holding of the Note do not result in a violation of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (A) because it is covered by an applicable exemption, including Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, or (B) by reason of the Trust, the Administrator, the Back-up Administrator, the Underwriters, the Servicers, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any other provider of credit support or any of their affiliates not being a "Party in Interest" (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA) with respect to such Plan. Any transferee of a Note shall be deemed to have represented that such transferee is acquiring a Note in conformance with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

          The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants, members or Beneficial Owners in any Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

                 SECTION 2.05      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.   If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

          Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the holder of the Notes thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

          Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

          The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

                SECTION 2.06      Persons Deemed Owner.   Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of (with respect to each Class of Notes other than the Class A-IO Notes) and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                SECTION 2.07      Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.   (a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the applicable form of such Class set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-8 respectively, and such interest accrued on each Class of Notes shall be payable on each applicable Distribution Date as specified therein and in the order set forth in Section 8.02 hereof, subject to Section 3.01. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, with respect to each Class of Notes payable on any applicable Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the applicable Note Final Maturity Date which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

                 (b)       The principal of each Note (other than the Class A-IO Notes) shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the applicable form of Note set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-8, respectively, to the extent the amount of funds required and available to be distributed in respect of principal on such Class of Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture; provided, however, the entire unpaid principal amount of each Class of Notes, other than the Class A-IO Notes, shall be due and payable on its respective Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, other than the Class A-IO Notes, shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Interested Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Class A Notes, other than the Class A-IO Notes, shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Class of Notes entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on any Class of Notes, other than the Class A-IO Notes, will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

                (c)       If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on any Class of the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Note Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest to the persons who are holders of such Class or Classes of Notes on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least three Business Days prior to the payment date.

(v)       whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of the holders of the Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

                SECTION 2.11      Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the holders of the Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency.

Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Notes as the Noteholders for such Class of Notes.

                SECTION 2.13      Tax Treatment.

                 SECTION 3.06      Opinions as to Indenture Trust Estate. (a)  On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

                 (b)       On or before April 30 in each calendar year, beginning in 2008, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest.

                 SECTION 3.07 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Financed Student Loans.      (a)  The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Indenture Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

                (b)        Although the Issuer will contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicers and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

                 (c)       The Issuer will enforce all of its rights under this Indenture and the Basic Documents, including, without limitation, enforcing the covenants and agreements of the Depositor in the Deposit and Sale Agreement (including covenants to the effect that the Depositor will enforce covenants against the Sellers under the Student Loan Purchase Agreements), and will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of a Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement, or an Administrator Default shall arise from the failure of the Administrator to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Administration Agreement, or a Back-up Administrator Default shall arise from the failure of the Back-up Administrator to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Back-up Administration Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Financed Student Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to enforce its rights under the Basic Documents in respect of such failure.

If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee and such holders of the Notes, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

                 SECTION 3.22      Additional Representations of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders:

This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") in effect in the State of Delaware) in the Financed Student Loans and all other assets constituting part of the Indenture Trust Estate in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, charges, security interests, mortgages or other encumbrances, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

                 (b)       Accounts. The Financed Student Loans constitute "accounts" or "payment intangibles" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                 (c)       Good and Marketable Title. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Financed Student Loans and all other assets constituting part of the Indenture Trust Estate free and clear of any lien, charge, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance, claim or encumbrance of any Person, other that those granted pursuant to this Indenture.

                 (d)       Perfection by Filing. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Financed Student Loans and all other assets of the Indenture Trust Estate granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

                 (f)       Priority. Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Financed Student Loans or any other portion of the Indenture Trust Estate. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Financed Student Loans or any other portion of the Indenture Trust Estate other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

                 (g)       Valid Business Reasons; No Fraudulent Transfers. The transactions contemplated by this Indenture are in the ordinary course of the Issuer's business and the Issuer has valid business reasons for granting the Indenture Trust Estate pursuant to this Indenture. At the time of each such Grant: (i) the Issuer granted the Indenture Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee without any intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any current or future creditor of the Issuer; (ii) the Issuer was not insolvent and did not become insolvent as a result of any such Grant; (iii) the Issuer was not engaged and was not about to engage in any business or transaction for which any property remaining with such entity was an unreasonably small capital or for which the remaining assets of such entity are unreasonably small in relation to the business of such entity or the transaction; (iv) the Issuer did not intend to incur, and did not believe or should not have reasonably believed, that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due; and (v) the consideration paid received by the Issuer for the Grant of the Indenture Trust Estate was reasonably equivalent to the value of the related Grant.

                 SECTION 3.23      Issuer Separateness Covenants. So long as any of the Notes are Outstanding:

                 (g)       All actions of the Issuer shall be taken by a duly authorized officer or agent of the Issuer.

                 (i)       The Issuer shall not amend its organizational documents or change its jurisdiction of formation without first satisfying the Rating Agency Condition.

                 (j)       All audited financial statements of the Issuer that are consolidated with those of any Affiliate thereof will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (i) all of the Issuer's assets are owned by the Issuer, and (ii) the Issuer is a separate entity with creditors who have received ownership and/or security interests in the Issuer's assets.

                 (k)       The Issuer will strictly observe legal formalities in its dealings with any of its Affiliates, and funds or other assets of the Issuer will not be commingled with those of any of its Affiliates.

                 (m)       The Issuer shall not sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Indenture Trust Estate except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.

                 (n)       The Issuer shall not claim any credit on, or make any deduction from, the principal amount of any of the Notes by reason of the payment of any taxes levied or assessed upon any portion of the Indenture Trust Estate.

                 (o)       The Issuer shall not permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture or the Grant hereunder to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations under this Indenture, except as may be expressly permitted hereby.

                  SECTION 3.24      Reports by Issuer. The Issuer will:

                 (a)       File with the Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe), if any, which the Issuer may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

                 SECTION 5.02      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Interested Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes, shall declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the holders of the Notes), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

          At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Interested Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

          No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                 SECTION 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 5.01(i), and such default continues for a period of three Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal on the related Final Maturity Date of a Class of Notes when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.07(b), the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07 and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

                 (b)      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, or shall at the written direction of the Interested Noteholders, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

                 (d)      In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Indenture Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, may, or shall at the written direction of the Interested Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes, be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i)       to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal of and interest on each Class of Notes owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and the holders of the Notes allowed in such Proceedings;

(ii)       unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

          and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such holders of the Notes to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such holders of the Notes to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

                 (e)       Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder of the Notes any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any holder of the Notes thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder of the Notes in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

                 (f)       All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes.

                 (g)       In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Notes and it shall not be necessary to make any holder of the Notes a party to any such Proceedings.

                 SECTION 5.04      Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, or shall, subject to Section 5.11, at the written direction of the Interested Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes (or such different percentage as set forth below), do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

          provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Indenture Trust Estate securing the Notes following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii), unless (x) 100% of the Noteholders consent to such sale, (y) the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Notes or (z) the Indenture Trustee determines that the collections on the Financed Student Loans would not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the Notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of Notes, representing not less than a 66.67% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining the sufficiency of the collections on such loans, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the sufficiency of the Indenture Trust Estate for such purpose.

                 (b)       If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property under this Article V following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to Sections 5.01(i) or 5.01(ii) above or following the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 upon an Event of Default with respect to Sections 5.01(i) or 5.01(ii) above, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

                 SECTION 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Financed Student Loans.

It is the desire of the parties hereto and the holders of the Notes that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on each Class of Notes and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Indenture Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Indenture Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Indenture Trust Estate for such purpose.

                 SECTION 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No holder of the Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless the following conditions listed below are satisfied:

(i)       such holder of the Notes has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii)       the holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, in the aggregate, have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii)       such holders of the Notes have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(iv)       the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceeding; and

(v)       no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the most senior Class or Classes of Notes in the aggregate;

          it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of the Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holders of the Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other holders of the Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

          If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

                 SECTION 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, any holder of any Class of Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note, or in this Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such holder of any such Class of Notes.

                 SECTION 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any holder of Notes has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such holder of Notes, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

                 SECTION 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the holders of the Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                 SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any holder of Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the holders of the Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the holders of the Notes.

                 SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. With respect to the Notes, the Interested Noteholders, representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes (or, in each case, if only one Class is affected thereby, a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Class) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(i)       such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii)       subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Trust Estate shall be by the holders of not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

(iii)       if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Indenture Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by the holders of less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Indenture Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(iv)       the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

          provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any holders of the Notes not consenting to such action.

                 SECTION 5.12      Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Interested Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes may waive any past Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment when due of principal of or interest on any Note or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of the Notes. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

          Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                 SECTION 5.13       Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of the Notes by such Noteholder's acceptance of any Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any holder of the Notes or group of holders of the Notes, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any holder of the Notes for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

                 SECTION 5.14       Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                 SECTION 5.15       Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Notes shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) or (c), as the case may be.

                 SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee, and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Administrator, the Back-up Administrator, the Servicers and the Guarantee Agency, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Basic Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Basic Documents, including the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Administrator, the Back-up Administrator, the Servicers or the Guarantee Agency of each of their obligations under the Basic Documents.

                 (b)       If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Section 5.11, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Interested Noteholders, representing not less than 66.67% of the Outstanding Amount of the applicable Classes of Notes, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Depositor, the Sellers, the Administrator, the Back-up Administrator, the Servicers or the Guarantee Agency under or in connection with the Basic Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Administrator, the Back-up Administrator, the Servicers and the Guarantee Agency of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Basic Documents and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

                 SECTION 5.17      Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder to which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or is in receipt of a written notice thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest with respect to any Note, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Noteholders.

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

                 SECTION 6.01      Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

               (b)       Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)       the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

(ii)       in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

                (c)       The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)       this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

(ii)       the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)       the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.

                 (g)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not reasonably assured to it.

                 (h)      Except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect the Financed Student Loans or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Financed Student Loans.

                 (i)      In the event that the Indenture Trustee is the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall also be afforded to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent and Note Registrar.

                 (j)      Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

                 (b)       Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

                 (c)       The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

                 (d)       The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

                 (e)       The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

                 (f)       In the event that the Person acting as Indenture Trustee is also acting as securities intermediary, all the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents shall also be afforded to the securities intermediary.

                 (g)       Absent willful misconduct or fraud, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any punitive damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated.

                 (h)       The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such Default or Event of Default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes under this Indenture.

                 (i)       Any permissive right or authority granted to the Indenture Trustee shall not be construed as a mandatory duty.

                 SECTION 6.03      Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

                 SECTION 6.04      Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

                 SECTION 6.05      Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of the Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of holders of the Notes.

                 SECTION 6.06      Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each holder of the Notes (and to each Person who was a holder of the Notes at any time during the applicable calendar year) such information with respect to the Notes, as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns.

                 SECTION 6.07      Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered under this Indenture, and also all reasonable expenses, charges, counsel fees and other disbursements, including those of their attorneys, agents and employees, incurred in and about the performance of their powers and duties under this Indenture. The Issuer further agrees to indemnify and save the Indenture Trustee harmless against any liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, and which are not due to its negligence or willful misconduct, to the extent solely payable from the Indenture Trust Estate. To secure the Indenture Trustee's right to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee shall have a lien against the Indenture Trust Estate that is, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, subordinate to the rights of the Noteholders. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Sections 5.01(iv) or (v) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services (including the fees and expenses of its agent and counsel) shall constitute expenses of administration under the applicable bankruptcy law. The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee.

                 SECTION 6.08      Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Administrator shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

                 (i)       the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

                 (ii)       an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee;

                 SECTION 11.06       Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any holder of the Notes providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such holder of the Notes that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices.

                 SECTION 11.11       Legal Holidays.
