| Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this presentation regarding First Marblehead’s strategy, future operational results, competitive position, future opportunities and growth prospects, outlook, the demand for private education loans, the characteristics of future loan pools based on our Monogram® platform, and the future performance of securitization trusts that First Marblehead has facilitated (the “Trusts”), including projected forbearance, prepayment, delinquency and default rates, as well as any other statements that are not purely historical, constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our historical performance, the historical performance of the Trusts, and on our plans, estimates and expectations as of February 4, 2011. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future results, plans, projections, estimates or expectations expressed or implied will actually be achieved. You are cautioned that matters subject to forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including economic, legislative, regulatory, competitive and other factors, which may cause actual financial or operational results, including the performance of the Trusts and facilitated loan volumes, or the timing of events, including loan defaults, to be materially different than those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include: market acceptance of and demand for our Monogram platform and fee-based service offerings; the volume, timing and performance of facilitated loan volumes; the size and structure of any credit enhancement provided by us in connection with our Monogram platform; degradation of credit quality, credit enhancement or performance of the Trusts’ loan portfolios; economic, legislative, regulatory, competitive and other factors affecting default, recovery and prepayment rates on private student loan portfolios, including general economic conditions, the consumer credit environment, interest rates and unemployment rates; borrower defaults and the Trusts’ ability to recover principal and interest from such borrowers, including the effectiveness of various risk mitigation strategies, such as alternative payment plans; capital market receptivity to private student loan asset-backed securities; changes to bankruptcy laws that could affect the non-dischargeable status of education-related loans; management’s determination of which qualitative and quantitative factors, including macroeconomic indicators and historical experience, should be weighted in our projections, and the weight to be given to each such factor; and the other factors set forth under the caption "risk factors" in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2010. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after February 4, 2011.
