“Spread” means 0.50%.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.01. Loans to Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may make Loans to the Company, from time to time from the date of this Agreement to but excluding the Scheduled Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000);provided that no Loan shall be made at any time if, after giving effect to such Loan, the aggregate principal amount outstanding, together with interest owing thereon, shall exceed the excess of the aggregate Collateral Value of all Financed Student Loans, over the aggregate amount of all Obligations. The determination of the Lender to make a Loan will also be subject to the conditions that (and the Company shall not request a Loan unless) (i) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would occur by the borrowing of the Loan, which constitutes an Event of Default or which, upon the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default and (ii) the representations and warranties contained inSection 3.01 are true and correct on and as of the date of each such Loan and will continue to be true and correct after such Loan is made. The Loans shall be evidenced by a subordinated note in the form attached as Exhibit A.

Section 2.02. Company’s Obligations. The Company hereby promises to pay in full the unpaid principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans as more fully set forth inSection 2.04 below. The obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to pay principal of and interest on the Loans from distributions of Available Funds (if any) pursuant to and in accordance with the priority of payments set forth inSection 1.05(c) of the Funding Note Purchase Agreement and, after termination of the Funding Note Purchase Agreement, from funds of the Company. The Lender, as agent for the Company, shall maintain on its books and records a register on which it will record each Loan made, each repayment of any Loan and interest thereon, each transfer of any Loan, and each owner of any Loan. Any such recordation by the Lender shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Company’s obligations hereunder. The register shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 2.03. Requests for Loans. The Company will give the Lender notice of a request for a Loan at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day on which the Company wishes to receive the Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender will make the requested Loan on the Business Day specified in the notice in immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s payment instructions.

F-2

Section 2.04. Interest. (a) Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, for each day from the date such Loans are made until they become due or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate then in effect plus the Spread. Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, a Loan not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate then in effect plus 1.00%). In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. A certificate of the Lender as to determination of the LIBOR Rate, the Spread, the calculation of the interest rate therefrom and the calculation of any interest due and payable will be, absent manifest error, conclusive and binding on the Company.

(b) Interest shall be payable on each Settlement Date during the term of this Agreement;provided, that if such day is not a Business Day, the payment date for such period shall be the Business Day immediately following such day (but only to the extent that the Company has funds for such purpose in accordance withSection 2.02 hereof) and on the Maturity Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Such computations shall be made including the first day but excluding the last day occurring in the period for which such interest or other amounts are payable.

Section 2.05. Repayment and Prepayment of the Loans. The outstanding principal amount of all Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay any outstanding Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans will be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, to the agent of the Lender (as may be designated in writing by the Lender from time to time). If any such payment falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment will be due on the next following Business Day. Payments received by the Lender will be applied:first, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, andsecond, to the principal of the Loans.

Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due and or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread of 0.50% or such other amount designated as such in writing by the Payee to the Purchaser from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Such computations shall be made including the first day but excluding the last day occurring in the period for which such interest or other amounts are payable. Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) 0.50%.

The Payee hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Payee under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Payee or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Payee. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Purchaser to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Payee by any other unaffiliated entity.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Payee is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Purchaser, the Payee agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of creditors of the Purchaser. The Payee agrees that this Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101et seq.).
