SECTION 3. INTEREST PAYABLE ON SERIES 200_-_ NOTES. During the Initial
Interest Period, each series of Series 200_-_ Notes shall bear interest at the
Initial Interest Rate for such series. Thereafter, except with respect to an
Auction Period Adjustment, each series of the Series 200_-_ Notes shall bear
interest at the Applicable Interest Rate for the number of days of the
applicable Interest Period, as determined pursuant to this Section 3 and
Sections 4 through 12 hereof.
The Applicable Interest Rate to be borne by each series of Series 200_-_
Notes for each Auction Period after the Initial Interest Period until an Auction
Period Adjustment, if any, shall be determined as hereafter described. Each such
Auction Period with respect to each series of Series 200_-_ Subordinate Notes
and with respect to each series of Series 200_-_ Senior Notes (i) shall commence
on and include the first Business Day following the applicable Series Auction
Date, and end on (and include) the applicable Series Auction Date (unless such
date is not followed by a Business Day, in which case on the next succeeding day
that is followed by a Business Day) and (ii) if the Auction Periods are changed
as provided herein, each period commencing on an Interest Payment Date and
ending on but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that if an Auction is scheduled to occur for the next Interest Period
on a date that was reasonably expected to be a Business Day, but such Auction
does not occur because such date is later not considered to be a Business Day,
the Auction shall nevertheless be deemed to have occurred, the applicable
Auction Rate in effect for the next Interest Period will be the Auction Rate in
effect for the preceding Interest Period and such Interest Period will generally
be 28 days in duration, beginning on the calendar day following the date of the
deemed Auction and ending on (and including) the applicable Series Auction Date
(unless such date is not followed by a Business Day, in which case on the next
succeeding day that is followed by a Business Day).
If the preceding Interest Period was other than generally 28 days in
duration, the Auction Rate for the deemed Auction will instead be the rate of
interest determined by the Market Agent on equivalently rated auction securities
with a comparable length of auction period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) if the ownership of a series of Series 200_-_ Notes is no longer
maintained in Book-Entry Form then the Auction Rate on such series for any
Interest Period commencing after the delivery of definitive notes
representing such series pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall equal the
Maximum Rate on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of
such subsequent Interest Period; or
(b) if a Payment Default shall have occurred with respect to a series
of Series 200_-_ Notes, the Applicable Interest Rate on such series for the
Interest Period commencing on or immediately after such Payment Default,
and for each Interest Period thereafter, to and including the Interest
Period, if any, during which, or commencing less than two Business Days
after, such Payment Default is cured, shall equal the Non-Payment Rate on
the first day of each such Interest Period.
In accordance with Section 4(c)(ii) hereof, the Auction Agent shall
promptly give written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer of each Auction Rate.
The Trustee shall notify the Holders of Series 200_-_ Notes of the Applicable
Interest Rate with respect to each such series for each Auction Period not later
than the second Business Day of such Auction Period.
In the event that the Auction Agent no longer determines, or fails to
determine, when required, the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to a series
of Series 200_-_ Notes, or if, for any reason, such manner of determination
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the Applicable Interest Rate for
the next succeeding Interest Period shall be the Maximum Rate. The Maximum Rate
with respect to each Interest Rate Determination Date shall be determined and
communicated by the Auction Agent in accordance with Section 6 hereof and the
Auction Agent Agreement. If the Auction Agent shall fail or refuse to determine
the Maximum Rate, the Maximum Rate shall be determined by a securities dealer
appointed by the Issuer capable of making such a determination in accordance
with the provisions hereof and written notice of such determination shall be
given by such securities dealer to the Trustee.
If the Auction Rate for a series of Series 200_-_ Notes is greater than the
Maximum Rate, then the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to such series for
the related Interest Period will be the Maximum Rate. The excess of the amount
of interest that would have accrued on the Series 200_-_ Notes at the Auction
Rate over the amount of interest actually accrued at the Maximum Rate will
accrue as the Carry-Over Amount. Such determination of the Carry-Over Amount
shall be made separately for each series of Series 200_-_ Notes. Each Carry-Over
Amount shall bear interest for each Interest Period calculated at a rate equal
to One-Month LIBOR (as determined by the Auction Agent on the related Interest
Rate Determination Date, provided the Trustee has received notice of One-Month
LIBOR from the Auction Agent, and, if the Trustee shall not have received such
notice from the Auction Agent, then as determined by the Trustee on such date)
from the Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period with respect to which
such Carry-Over Amount was calculated, until paid. Any payment in respect of
Carry-Over Amount shall be applied, first, to any accrued interest payable
thereon and thereafter in reduction of such Carry-Over Amount. For purposes of
this _____ Supplement, the Indenture and the Series 200_-_ Notes, any reference
to "principal" or "interest" herein and therein shall not include, within the
meaning of such words, any Carry-Over Amount or any interest accrued on any
Carry-Over Amount. Such Carry-Over Amount shall be separately calculated for
each Series 200_-_ Note of such series by the Trustee during such Interest
Period in sufficient time for the Trustee to give notice to each Holder of such
Carry-Over Amount as required in the next succeeding sentence. On the Interest
Payment Date for an Interest Period with respect to which such Carry-Over Amount
has been calculated by the Trustee, the Trustee shall give written notice to
each Holder of the Carry-Over Amount applicable to such Holder's Series 200_-_
Note, which written notice may accompany the payment of interest (if made by
check made to each such Holder on such Interest Payment Date) or otherwise shall
be mailed on such Interest Payment Date by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
each such Holder at such Holder's address as it appears on the registration
books maintained by the Note Registrar. Such notice shall state, in addition to
such Carry-Over Amount, that, unless and until a Series 200_-_ Note has been
redeemed under the Indenture (after which all accrued Carry-Over Amount with
respect to such Series 200_-_ Note, and all accrued interest thereon, that
remains unpaid shall be canceled and no Carry-Over Amount, or interest accrued
thereon, shall be paid with respect to such Series 200_-_ Note), (i) the
Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon) shall be paid by the Trustee on
the first occurring Interest Payment Date for a subsequent Interest Period if
and to the extent that (A) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up Amount with respect
to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and (B) moneys are available
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture to pay such Carry-Over Amount (and
interest accrued thereon), and (ii) interest shall accrue on the Carry-Over
Amount at a per annum rate equal to One-Month LIBOR until such Carry-Over Amount
is paid in full or is canceled.
The Carry-Over Amount (and interest accrued thereon) on Outstanding Series
200_-_ Notes of a series shall be paid by the Trustee on the first occurring
Interest Payment Date for a subsequent Interest Period with respect to such
series if and to the extent that (i) the Eligible Carry-Over Make-Up Amount with
respect to such Interest Period is greater than zero, and (ii) moneys in the
Collection Fund and the Surplus Fund are available on the Monthly Calculation
Date immediately preceding the month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs,
for transfer to the Interest Account for such purpose in accordance with
Sections 4.05 and 4.07 of the Indenture, after taking into account all other
amounts payable from the Collection Fund and the Surplus Fund in accordance with
such Sections on such Monthly Calculation Date. Any Carry-Over Amount (and any
interest accrued thereon) with respect to any Series 200_-_ Note which is unpaid
as of the Maturity of such Series 200_-_ Note shall be paid to the Holder
thereof on the date of such Maturity to the extent that moneys are available
therefor in accordance with the provisions of the preceding clause (ii);
provided, however, that any Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon)
which is not so paid on the date of such Maturity shall be canceled with respect
to such Series 200_-_ Note on the date of such Maturity and shall not be paid on
any succeeding Interest Payment Date. To the extent that any portion of the
Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) remains unpaid after
payment of a portion thereof, such unpaid portion shall be paid in whole or in
part as required hereunder until fully paid by the Trustee on the next occurring
Interest Payment Date(s), as necessary, for the subsequent Interest Period(s),
if and to the extent that the conditions in the first sentence of this paragraph
are satisfied. On any Interest Payment Date(s) on which the Trustee pays less
than all of the Carry-Over Amount (and any interest accrued thereon) with
respect to a Series 200_-_ Note, the Trustee shall give written notice in the
manner set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Holder of such
Series 200_-_ Note of the Carry-Over Amount remaining unpaid on such Series
200_-_ Note.
The Interest Payment Date on which any Carry-Over Amount (or any interest
accrued thereon) for a series of Series 200_-_ Notes shall be paid shall be
determined by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph, and the Trustee shall make payment of the Carry-Over Amount
(and any interest accrued thereon) in the same manner as it pays interest on the
Series 200_-_ Notes on an Interest Payment Date.
SECTION 4. DETERMINING THE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. By purchasing Series
200_-_ Notes, whether in an Auction or otherwise, each purchaser of the Series
200_-_ Notes, or its Broker-Dealer, must agree and shall be deemed by such
purchase to have agreed (a) to participate in Auctions on the terms described
herein; (b) to have its beneficial ownership of the Series 200_-_ Notes
maintained at all times in Book Entry Form for the account of its Participant,
which in turn will maintain records of such beneficial ownership; (c) to
authorize such Participant to disclose to the Auction Agent such information

irrevocable offer to sell the principal amount, or a lesser principal amount, of
the Series 200_-_ Notes specified in such Bid if the rate specified in such Bid

determined as described herein; and (f) that a Bid placed by a Potential Holder
will constitute an irrevocable offer to purchase the amount, or a lesser
principal amount, of the Series 200_-_ Notes specified in such Bid if the rate
specified in such Bid is, respectively, less than or equal to the Applicable
Interest Rate, determined as set forth herein.
So long as the ownership of a series of Series 200_-_ Notes is maintained
in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, an Existing Holder may sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of Series 200_-_ Notes of such series only
pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order placed in an Auction or otherwise sell, transfer
or dispose of Series 200_-_ Notes through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the
case of all transfers other than pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its
Broker-Dealer or its Participant advises the Auction Agent in writing of such
transfer. Auctions shall be conducted on each Auction Date, if there is an

to determine the Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes which
each Potential Holder offers to purchase, if the Auction Rate for
the next succeeding Auction Period shall not be less than the
rate per annum specified by such Potential Holder.
For the purposes hereof, the communication to a

Notes held by such Existing Holder, the aggregate Principal
Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes subject to each such Hold Order

aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes
owned by such Existing Holder.
(B) any Bid shall be considered valid up to an amount equal

Notes equal to such excess;
(2) subject to subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause
(B), if more than one Bid with different rates are submitted

(viii) Any Bid submitted by an Existing Holder or a Potential

to individually as a "Submitted Hold Order," a "Submitted Bid" or a
"Submitted Sell Order," as the case may be, or as a "Submitted Order,"
and collectively as "Submitted Hold Orders," "Submitted Bids" or
"Submitted Sell Orders," as the case may be, or as "Submitted Orders")
and shall determine:
(A) the excess of the total Principal Amount of Outstanding
Series 200_-_ Notes over the sum of the aggregate Principal
Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted
Hold Orders (such excess being herein referred to as the
"Available Series 200_-_ Notes"), and
(B) from the Submitted Orders whether:
(1) the aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding
Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Bids by Potential
Holders specifying one or more rates equal to or lower than
the Maximum Interest Rate exceeds or is equal to the sum of:
(2) the aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding
Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Bids by Existing
Holders specifying one or more rates higher than the Maximum
Interest Rate, and
(3) the aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding
Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Sell Orders;
(in the event such excess or such equality exists, other than because
the sum of the Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes in subclauses
(2) and (3) above is zero because all of the Outstanding Series 200_-_
Notes are subject to Submitted Hold Orders, such Submitted Bids
described in subclause (1) above shall be referred to collectively as
"Sufficient Bids"); and
(C) if Sufficient Bids exist, the Winning Bid Rate, which
shall be the lowest rate specified in such Submitted Bids such
that if:
(1) (y) each such Submitted Bid from Existing Holders
specifying such lowest rate and (z) all other Submitted Bids
from Existing Holders specifying lower rates were rejected
(thus entitling such Existing Holders to continue to own the
Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes subject to such
Submitted Bids); and
(2) (y) each such Submitted Bid from Potential Holders
specifying such lowest rate and (z) all other Submitted Bids
from Potential Holders specifying lower rates were accepted;
the result would be that such Existing Holders described in subclause
(1) above would continue to own an aggregate Principal Amount of
Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes which, when added to the aggregate
Principal Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes to be purchased by
such Potential Holders described in subclause (2) above, would equal
not less than the Available Series 200_-_ Notes.
(ii) Promptly after the Auction Agent has made the determinations
pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) hereof, the Auction Agent shall advise the
Trustee, the Broker-Dealers and the Issuer of the Maximum Auction
Rate, the Maximum Interest Rate, the All Hold Rate, One-Month LIBOR
and the Applicable LIBOR-Based Rate and the components thereof on the
Auction Date and, based on such determinations, the Auction Rate for
the next succeeding Interest Period as follows:
(A) if Sufficient Bids exist, that the Auction Rate for the
next succeeding Interest Period shall be equal to the Winning Bid
Rate so determined;
(B) if Sufficient Bids do not exist (other than because all
of the Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are subject to Submitted
Hold Orders), that the Auction Rate for the next succeeding
Interest Period shall be equal to the Maximum Rate; or
(C) if all Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are subject to
Submitted Hold Orders, that the Auction Rate for the next
succeeding Interest Period shall be equal to the All Hold Rate.
Promptly after the Auction Agent has determined the Auction Rate, the
Auction Agent will determine and advise the Trustee of the Applicable
Interest Rate, which shall not exceed the Maximum Rate.
If for any Interest Period the Auction Rate exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate for such Interest Period shall
equal the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Auction Rate is less than the
Auction Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate will be the Maximum Auction
Rate. If the Auction Agent has not received Sufficient Bids (other
than because all of the Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are subject to
Submitted Hold Orders), the Applicable Interest Rate will be the
Maximum Rate. In any of the cases described above, Submitted Orders
will be accepted or rejected and the Auction Agent will take such
other action as described below in subparagraph (ii) of Section 4(d)
hereof.
(d) ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF SUBMITTED BIDS AND SUBMITTED SELL
ORDERS. Existing Holders shall continue to own the Principal Amount of
Series 200_-_ Notes that are subject to Submitted Hold Orders, and,
based on the determinations made pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) hereof,
Submitted Bids and Submitted Sell Orders shall be accepted or
rejected, and the Auction Agent shall take such other action as
described below:
(i) if Sufficient Bids have been made, all Submitted Sell
Orders shall be accepted and, subject to the provisions of
paragraphs (iv) and (v) of this Section 4(d), Submitted Bids
shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the following order
of priority, and all other Submitted Bids shall be rejected:
(A) Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be
accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Holder to sell
the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes
subject to such Submitted Bids;
(B) Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be
rejected, thus entitling each such Existing Holder to
continue to own the aggregate Principal Amount of Series
200_-_ Notes subject to such Submitted Bids;
(C) Potential Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be
accepted, thus requiring such Potential Owner to purchase
the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes
subject to such Submitted Bid;
(D) Each Existing Holders' Submitted Bid specifying a
rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be
rejected, thus entitling such Existing Holder to continue to
own the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes
subject to such Submitted Bid, unless the aggregate
Principal Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject
to all such Submitted Bids shall be greater than the
Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes (the "Remaining
Principal Amount") equal to the excess of the Available
Series 200_-_ Notes over the aggregate Principal Amount of
Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Bids described in
clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 4(d)(i), in which event
such Submitted Bid of such Existing Holder shall be rejected
in part, and such Existing Holder shall be entitled to
continue to own the Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes
subject to such Submitted Bid, but only in an amount equal
to the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes
obtained by multiplying the Remaining Principal Amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Principal
Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes owned by such
Existing Holder subject to such Submitted Bid and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the Principal
Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject to such
Submitted Bids made by all such Existing Holders that
specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate; and
(E) Each Potential Holder's Submitted Bid specifying a
rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be
accepted, but only in an amount equal to the Principal
Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes obtained by multiplying the
excess of the aggregate Principal Amount of Available Series
200_-_ Notes over the aggregate Principal Amount of Series
200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Bids described in clauses
(B), (C) and (D) of this Section 4(d)(i) by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the aggregate Principal Amount
of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject to such Submitted
Bid and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the
Principal Amount of Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject
to Submitted Bids made by all such Potential Holders that
specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate.
(ii) If Sufficient Bids have not been made (other than because
all of the Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are subject to Submitted
Hold Orders), subject to the provisions of Section 4(d)(iv) hereof,
Submitted Orders shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the
following order of priority and all other Submitted Bids shall be
rejected:
(A) Existing Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate
that is equal to or lower than the Maximum Rate shall be
rejected, thus entitling such Existing Holders to continue to own
the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes subject to
such Submitted Bids;
(B) Potential Holders' Submitted Bids specifying any rate
that is equal to or lower than the Maximum Rate shall be
accepted, thus requiring each Potential Holder to purchase the
aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes subject to such
Submitted Bids; and
(C) each Existing Holder's Submitted Bid specifying any rate
that is higher than the Maximum Rate and each Existing Holder's
Submitted Sell Order shall be accepted, thus entitling each
Existing Holder that submitted any such Submitted Bid or
Submitted Sell Order to sell the Series 200_-_ Notes subject to
such Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order, but in both cases
only in an amount equal to the aggregate Principal Amount of
Series 200_-_ Notes obtained by multiplying the aggregate
Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes subject to Submitted Bids
described in clause (B) of this Section 4(d)(ii) by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the aggregate Principal Amount of
Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes owned by such Existing Holder
subject to such Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order and the
denominator of which shall be the aggregate Principal Amount of
Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes subject to all such Submitted
Bids and Submitted Sell Orders.
(iii) If all Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are subject to
Submitted Hold Orders, all Submitted Bids shall be rejected.
(iv) If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (i)
or (ii) of this Section 4(d), any Existing Holder would be entitled or
required to sell, or any Potential Holder would be entitled or
required to purchase, a Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes that
is not equal to an Authorized Denomination, the Auction Agent shall,
in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall determine, round up
or down the Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes to be purchased or
sold by any Existing Holder or Potential Holder so that the Principal
Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes purchased or sold by each Existing
Holder or Potential Holder shall be equal to an Authorized
Denomination.
(v) If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (i)
of this Section 4(d), any Potential Holder would be entitled or
required to purchase less than an Authorized Denomination of Series
200_-_ Notes, the Auction Agent shall, in such manner as in its sole
discretion it shall determine, allocate Series 200_-_ Notes for
purchase among Potential Holders so that only Series 200_-_ Notes in
Authorized Denominations are purchased by any Potential Holder, even
if such allocation results in one or more of such Potential Holders
not purchasing any Series 200_-_ Notes.
(e) Based on the result of each Auction, the Auction Agent shall
determine the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes to be
purchased and the aggregate Principal Amount of Series 200_-_ Notes to be
sold by Potential Holders and Existing Holders on whose behalf each
Broker-Dealer submitted Bids or Sell Orders and, with respect to each
Broker-Dealer, to the extent that such aggregate Principal Amount of Series
200_-_ Notes to be sold differs from such aggregate Principal Amount of
Series 200_-_ Notes to be purchased, determine to which other Broker-Dealer
or Broker-Dealers acting for one or more purchasers such Broker-Dealer
shall deliver, or from which other Broker-Dealer or Broker-Dealers acting
for one or more sellers such Broker-Dealer shall receive, as the case may
be, Series 200_-_ Notes.
(f) Any calculation by the Auction Agent, the Issuer or the Trustee,
as applicable, of the Applicable Interest Rate, the Applicable LIBOR-Based
Rate, the Maximum Auction Rate, the Maximum Interest Rate, the All Hold
Rate and the Non-Payment Rate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
binding on all other parties.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this _____ Supplement to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Auction will be held on any Auction Date hereunder
during the continuance of a Payment Default (or on the next Business Day
after a Payment Default is cured) or if the Series 200_-_ Notes are no
longer in Book-Entry-Form.
(h) The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause (or, to the extent
within its control, permit) any affiliate to, submit any Order (other than
a Sell Order) in any Auction.
SECTION 5. DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT DEFAULTS AND PAYMENT OF AUCTION AGENT
AND BROKER-DEALER FEES.
(a) The Trustee shall determine, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York

Business Day, send a notice thereof in substantially the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto to the Auction Agent by telecopy or similar means and, if

in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto to the Auction Agent
by telecopy or similar means.
(b) Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on each Interest
Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Auction
Agent, in immediately available funds out of amounts available therefor in
the Administration Fund, an amount equal to the Auction Agent Fee and the
Broker-Dealer Fee as calculated in accordance with the Auction Agent
Agreement. The Issuer shall, from time to time at the request of the
Auction Agent, reimburse the Auction Agent for its reasonable expenses as
provided in the Auction Agent Agreement, such expenses to be paid out of
amounts available therefor in the Administration Fund.
SECTION 6. CALCULATION OF VARIOUS RATES. The Auction Agent shall calculate
the Maximum Auction Rate, the All Hold Rate and the Applicable LIBOR-Based Rate
on each Auction Date and shall notify the Issuer, Trustee and the Broker-Dealers
of the Maximum Auction Rate, the Maximum Interest Rate, the All Hold Rate and
the Applicable LIBOR-Based Rate, all as provided in the Auction Agent Agreement.
If the ownership of the Series 200_-_ Notes is no longer maintained in
Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository, the Trustee shall calculate the
Maximum Rate on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of each
Interest Period after the delivery of definitive Series 200_-_ Notes pursuant to
Section 17 hereof. If a Payment Default shall have occurred, the Trustee shall
calculate the Non-Payment Rate on the Interest Rate Determination Date for (a)
each Interest Period commencing after the occurrence and during the continuance
of such Payment Default and (b) any Interest Period commencing less than two
Business Days after the cure of any Payment Default. The Auction Agent shall
determine the Applicable LIBOR-Based Rate for each Interest Period other than
the first Interest Period; provided that if the ownership of the Series 200_-_
Notes is no longer maintained in Book-Entry Form, or if a Payment Default has
occurred, then the Trustee shall determine the Applicable LIBOR-Based Rate for
each such Interest Period.
For any Interest Period for which any Carry-Over Amount exists, the Auction
Agent shall calculate One-Month LIBOR.
The Issuer shall determine on each Auction Date whether the Net Loan
Restriction Period is applicable for the next Auction Period and, if it is, the
Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealers of
such event. If the Net Loan Restriction Period is applicable for an Auction
Period, the Issuer shall calculate the Net Loan Rate, the Adjusted Student Loan
Portfolio Rate of Return and the Program Expense Percentage and shall notify the
Trustee, the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealers of such calculations.
The Trustee shall calculate the Adjusted CP Rate pursuant to the Auction
Rate Reset Agreement.
SECTION 7. NOTIFICATION OF RATES, AMOUNTS AND PAYMENT DATES.

aggregate amounts of interest distributable on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date to the beneficial owners of each series thereof.
(b) As soon as practicable prior to each Interest Payment Date with
respect to the Series 200_-_ Notes, the Trustee shall:

has occurred and is continuing and the ownership of the Series 200_-_
Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Securities Depository,
(A) the date of such next Interest Payment Date and (B) the amount
payable to the Auction Agent on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to
Section 5(b) hereof;
(ii) advise the Securities Depository, so long as the ownership
of the Series 200_-_ Notes is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the
Securities Depository, upon request, of the aggregate amount of
interest, and the aggregate amount (if any) of Carry-Over Amount and
interest thereon, distributable on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date to the beneficial owners of each series thereof; and
(iii) pursuant to Section 3 hereof, advise the Holders of each
series of Series 200_-_ Notes of any Carry-Over Amount accruing on

Auction Agent shall be (i) a bank, national banking association or trust
company duly organized under the laws of the United States of America or

at any time by the Trustee upon the written direction of an Authorized
Officer of the Issuer or the Holders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate Principal
Amount of the Series 200_-_ Senior Notes then Outstanding (or, if there
shall be no Series 200_-_ Senior Notes Outstanding, the Holders of 66-2/3%
of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Series 200_-_ Subordinate Notes),
and if by such Holders, by an instrument signed by such Holders or their
attorneys and filed with the Auction Agent, the Issuer and the Trustee upon
at least 90 days' notice. Neither resignation nor removal of the Auction
Agent pursuant to the preceding two sentences shall be effective unless and
until a Substitute Auction Agent has been appointed and has accepted such
appointment. However, if a Substitute Auction Agent shall not have been
appointed within 60 days from the date of a notice of resignation, the
resigning Auction Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a Substitute Auction Agent. If required by the
Issuer, a Substitute Auction Agent Agreement shall be entered into with a

notifying the Trustee, each Market Agent and the Issuer in writing that it
has not received payment of any Auction Agent Fee due it in accordance with
the terms of the Auction Agent Agreement, the Auction Agent does not
receive such payment.
(b) If the Auction Agent shall resign or be removed or be dissolved,
or if the property or affairs of the Auction Agent shall be taken under the
control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of
bankruptcy or insolvency, or for any other reason, the Trustee at the
direction of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, shall use its best
efforts to appoint a Substitute Auction Agent.
(c) The Auction Agent is acting as agent for the Issuer in connection
with Auctions. In the absence of bad faith, negligent failure to act or
negligence on its part, the Auction Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted or any error of judgment made by it in
the performance of its duties under the Auction Agent Agreement and shall
not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless the
Auction Agent shall have been negligent in ascertaining (or failing to
ascertain) the pertinent facts.
(d) In the event of a change in the Auction Agent Fee Rate pursuant to
Section 6.4(b) of the Auction Agent Agreement, the Auction Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Trustee in accordance with the Auction Agent
Agreement.
SECTION 9. BROKER-DEALERS.
(a) The Auction Agent will enter into Broker-Dealer Agreements with
____________________, as the initial Broker-Dealer. An Authorized Officer
of the Issuer may, from time to time approve one or more additional persons
to serve as Broker-Dealers under Broker-Dealer Agreements and shall be
responsible for providing such Broker-Dealer Agreements to the Trustee and
the Auction Agent.
(b) Any Broker-Dealer may be removed at any time, at the request of an
Authorized Officer of the Issuer but there shall, at all times, be at least
one Broker-Dealer appointed and acting as such with respect to each series
of Series 200_-_ Notes.
SECTION 10. CHANGES IN AUCTION PERIOD OR PERIODS. While any of the Series
200_-_ Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer may, from time to time convert the
length of one or more Auction Periods and designate an Auction Period of a
different length than set forth in the definition of Interest Period (an
"Auction Period Adjustment"), in order to conform with then current market
practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and
financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the length of the Auction
Period and the Applicable Interest Rate borne by any series of the Series 200_-_
Notes. The Issuer shall not initiate an Auction Period Adjustment unless it
shall have received, not less than 10 days nor more than 20 days prior to the
Auction Period Adjustment, the written consent of the applicable Market Agent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall initiate the
Auction Period Adjustment by giving written notice by Issuer Order to the
Trustee, the Auction Agent, the applicable Market Agent and the Securities
Depository in substantially the form of, or containing substantially the
information contained in, Exhibit E to this _____ Supplement at least ten days
prior to the Auction Date for such Auction Period.
An Auction Period Adjustment shall take effect only (a) if the Trustee and
the Auction Agent receive, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day before the Auction Date for the first such Auction Period, an Issuer
Certificate in substantially the form attached as, or containing substantially
the same information contained in, Exhibit F to this _____ Supplement,
authorizing the Auction Period Adjustment specified in such certificate along
with written confirmation that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied
with respect to such Auction Period Adjustment, and (b) Sufficient Bids exist as
of the Auction on the Auction Date for such first Auction Period. If the
condition referred to in (a) above is not met, the Applicable Interest Rate for
the next Auction Period shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 4 through 9 hereof and the Auction Period shall be the Auction Period
determined without reference to the proposed change. If the condition referred
to in (a) is met but the condition referred to in (b) above is not met, the
Applicable Interest Rate for the next Auction Period shall be the Maximum Rate,
and in either case the Auction Period shall be the Auction Period determined
without reference to the proposed change.
In connection with any Auction Period Adjustment, the Auction Agent shall
provide such further notice to such parties as is specified in Section 2.5 of
the Auction Agent Agreement.
SECTION 11. CHANGES IN THE AUCTION DATE. The applicable Market Agent, with
the written consent of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer specify an earlier
Auction Date (but in no event more than five Business Days earlier) than the
Auction Date that would otherwise be determined in accordance with the
definition of "Auction Date" in Section 1 of this _____ Supplement with respect
to one or more specified Auction Periods for one or more series of Series 200_-_
Notes, designate a Series Auction Date different than as set forth in the
definition of Interest Period in order to conform with then current market
practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and
financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the day of the week
constituting an Auction Date and the Applicable Interest Rate borne by the
Series 200_-_ Notes of such series. The applicable Market Agent shall deliver a
written request for consent to such change in the Auction Date to the Issuer not
less than three days nor more than twenty days prior to the effective date of
such change. The applicable Market Agent shall provide notice of its
determination to specify an earlier Auction Date for one or more Auction Periods
by means of a written notice delivered at least three days prior to the proposed
changed Auction Date to the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Issuer and the
Securities Depository. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of, or
contain substantially the information contained in, Exhibit G to this _____
Supplement.
In connection with any change described in this Section 11, the Auction
Agent shall provide such further notice to such parties as is specified in
Section 2.5 of the Auction Agent Agreement.
SECTION 12. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE.
The determination of each Applicable Interest Rate by the Auction Agent or any
other Person pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Section of this _____
Supplement shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the series of
Series 200_-_ Notes to which such Applicable Interest Rate applies, and the
Issuer and the Trustee may rely thereon for all purposes.
In no event shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on a
series of Series 200_-_ Notes (including interest calculated as provided herein,
plus any other amounts that constitute interest on the Series 200_-_ Notes of
such series under applicable law, which are contracted for, charged, reserved,
taken or received pursuant to the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series or related
documents) calculated from the date of issuance of such series through any
subsequent day during the term of such series or otherwise prior to payment in
full of the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series exceed the amount permitted by
applicable law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Series 200_-_ Notes of a series
or related documents or otherwise contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or
received in connection with the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series, or if the
redemption or acceleration of the maturity of the Series 200_-_ Notes of such
series results in payment to or receipt by the Holder or any former Holder of
the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then, notwithstanding any provision of the Series
200_-_ Notes of such series or related documents to the contrary, all excess
amounts theretofore paid or received with respect to the Series 200_-_ Notes of
such series shall be credited on the Principal Amount of the Series 200_-_ Notes
of such series (or, if the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series have been paid or
would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the recipient thereof), and the
provisions of the Series 200_-_ Notes of such series and related documents shall
automatically and immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under the
Series 200_-_ Notes of such series and under the related documents.
SECTION 13. QUALIFICATIONS OF MARKET AGENT. Each Market Agent shall be a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., have a
capitalization of at least $50,000,000 and be authorized by law to perform all
the duties imposed upon it by this _____ Supplement. Any Market Agent may resign
and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this _____ Supplement
by giving at least 90 days' notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, provided that
such resignation shall not be effective until the appointment of a successor
market agent by the Issuer and the acceptance of such appointment by such
successor market agent. Any Market Agent may be replaced at the direction of the
Issuer, by an instrument signed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer filed
with such Market Agent and the Trustee at least thirty days before the effective
date of such replacement, provided that such replacement shall not be effective
until the appointment of a successor market agent by the Issuer and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor market agent.
In the event that any Market Agent shall be removed or be dissolved, or if
the property or affairs of any Market Agent shall be taken under the control of
any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for any other reason, and there is no Market Agent for any series
of Series 200_-_ Notes, and the Issuer shall not have appointed its successor as
Market Agent, the Trustee, notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph
of this Section 13, shall be deemed to be the Market Agent for such series for
all purposes of this _____ Supplement until the appointment by the Issuer of the
successor Market Agent. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed as
conferring on the Trustee additional duties other than as set forth herein.
SECTION 14. PURPOSES OF ISSUANCE OF SERIES 200_-_ NOTES. The Series 200_-_
Notes are being issued (a) to provide funds to be used to acquire Student Loans,

Series 200_-_ Notes.
SECTION 15. DEPOSIT OF SERIES 200_-_ NOTE PROCEEDS. From the net proceeds

SECTION 16. REDEMPTION OF SERIES 200_-_ NOTES. The Series 200_-_ Notes are
subject to redemption as provided in this Section 16.
(a) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Subject to compliance with Section 3.02 of
the Indenture and the next paragraph, Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes of
any series may, at the option of the Issuer and from amounts credited to
the Retirement Account for such purpose, be redeemed on any regularly
scheduled Interest Payment Date for such series, in whole or in part, at a
Prepayment Price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount of Series 200_-_
Notes to be so redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Prepayment
Date.
(b) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
(i) The Series 200_-_ Notes of any series are subject to
mandatory redemption on any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date
following the end of the Acquisition Period applicable to such series
of Notes from revenues deposited from the Collection Fund to the
Retirement Account of the Debt Service Fund pursuant to Section
4.05(m) of the Indenture. The Series 200_-_ Notes of each series
selected for redemption as provided in subsection (c) of this Section
16 shall be redeemed on the first regularly scheduled Interest Payment
Date for that series for which the Trustee can give the required
notice. The Prepayment Price will be 100% of the Principal Amount of
such Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the
Prepayment Date.
(ii) Notes of any series shall be redeemed on the next regularly
scheduled Interest Payment Date for which redemption notice can be
given following the end of each Acquisition Period for the Series
200_-_ Notes in an amount equal to the unexpended portion of the
Series 200_-_ Notes with respect to each such Acquisition Period at
the end of the Acquisition Period. For purposes of determining the
amount of Notes to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 16(b)(ii), the
Issuer shall assume that moneys in the Acquisition Fund from the
proceeds of the Series 200_-_ Notes were used to acquire Eligible
Loans on a "first-in, first-out" basis. Notes to be redeemed pursuant
to this Section 16(b)(ii) shall, notwithstanding any provisions of
this _____ Supplemental Indenture, be selected first from Series

Authorized Denomination.
(c) SELECTION OF SERIES 200_-_ NOTES FOR REDEMPTION. If less than all
Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to subsections
(a) or (b) of this Section 16, such Principal Amounts of each series of
Series 200_-_ Notes as the Issuer may designate (subject to the limitations
contained in this Section 16) shall be selected for redemption, to the
extent that the provisions of Section 3.02 of the Indenture will not be
violated thereby. In the absence of valid direction by the Issuer and
subject to the foregoing, the Series 200_-_ Notes to be redeemed will be
selected as follows: first from the Series 200_-_ Subordinate Notes to the
extent permitted by Section 3.02 of the Indenture in ascending numerical
order of the series designation, and thereafter from the Series 200_-_
Senior Notes in ascending numerical order of the series designation.
If less than all of the Outstanding Series 200_-_ Notes of a given
series are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 16, the particular
Series 200_-_ Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot
in such manner as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of
Series 200_-_ Notes in an Authorized Denomination.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Note Registrar and any Paying
Agent for the Series 200_-_ Notes (in each case, if other than the Trustee)
in writing of the Series 200_-_ Notes selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Series 200_-_ Note selected for partial redemption, the
Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of the Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Series 200_-_ Notes

redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Series
200_-_ Note which has been or is to be redeemed.
(d) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption of Series 200_-_ Notes
pursuant to this Section 16 shall be given not less than ten days nor more
than 30 days prior to the Prepayment Date in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.04 of the Indenture.
SECTION 17. BOOK-ENTRY SERIES 200_-_ NOTES.
(a) Subject to subsection (c) below, the registered Holder of all
Series 200_-_ Notes shall be the Securities Depository, and the Series
200_-_ Notes shall be registered in the name of the nominee for the
Securities Depository.
(b) The Series 200_-_ Notes shall be initially issued in the form of
one or more separate, authenticated fully-registered Series 200_-_ Notes
for each series thereof in the aggregate Principal Amount of such series.
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Series 200_-_ Note shall
be registered in the registration books kept by the Note Registrar in the
name of the nominee of the Securities Depository. The Trustee and the
Issuer may treat the Securities Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and
exclusive owner of the Series 200_-_ Notes registered in its name for the
purposes of (i) payment of the principal or Prepayment Price of and
interest on the Series 200_-_ Notes, (ii) selecting the Series 200_-_ Notes
or portions thereof to be redeemed, (iii) giving any notice permitted or
required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, (iv) registering the
transfer of Series 200_-_ Notes, and (v) obtaining any consent or other
action to be taken by Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
neither the Trustee nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary (except as provided in subsection (c) below). Neither the Trustee
nor the Issuer shall have any responsibility or obligation to any
Participant, any beneficial owner of Series 200_-_ Notes or any other
Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Series 200_-_ Notes
under or through the Securities Depository or any Participant, or any other
Person which is not shown on the registration books of the Note Registrar
as being a Holder, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained
by the Securities Depository or any Participant, the payment to the
Securities Depository of any amount in respect of the principal or
Prepayment Price of or interest on the Series 200_-_ Notes; any notice
which is permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture;
the selection by the Securities Depository or any Participant of any Person
to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Series
200_-_ Notes; or any consent given or other action taken by the Securities
Depository as Holder. The Trustee shall pay all principal and Prepayment
Price of and interest on the Series 200_-_ Notes only to or upon the order
of the Securities Depository, and all such payments shall be valid and
effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with
respect to the principal, purchase price or Prepayment Price of and
interest on the Series 200_-_ Notes to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. Except as provided in subsection (c) below, no Person other than the
Securities Depository shall receive an authenticated Series 200_-_ Note
evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal or
Prepayment Price and interest pursuant to this Indenture. Upon delivery by
the Securities Depository to the Trustee of written notice to the effect
that the Securities Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee
in place of the preceding nominee, the Series 200_-_ Notes will be
transferable to such new nominee in accordance with subsection (f) below.
(c) In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest
of the Issuer not to continue the Book-Entry System of transfer or that the
interest of the Holders might be adversely affected if the Book-Entry
System of transfer is continued, the Issuer may so notify the Securities
Depository and the Trustee, whereupon the Securities Depository will notify
the Participants of the availability through the Securities Depository of
definitive Series 200_-_ Notes. In such event, the Trustee shall
authenticate, transfer and exchange definitive Series 200_-_ Notes as
requested by the Securities Depository in appropriate amounts in accordance
with subsection (f) below. The Securities Depository may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Series 200_-_ Notes
at any time by giving notice to the Issuer and the Trustee and discharging
its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, or the
Issuer may determine that the Securities Depository is incapable of
discharging its responsibilities and may so advise the Securities
Depository. In either such event, the Issuer shall either establish its own
Book-Entry System or use reasonable efforts to locate another securities
depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor Securities
Depository), the Issuer and the Trustee shall be obligated to deliver
definitive Series 200_-_ Notes as described in this Indenture and in
accordance with subsection (f) below. In the event definitive Series 200_-_
Notes are issued, the provisions of the Indenture and this Supplemental
Indenture shall apply to such definitive Series 200_-_ Notes in all
respects, including, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such
Series 200_-_ Notes and the method of payment of principal or Prepayment
Price of and interest on such Series 200_-_ Notes. Whenever the Securities
Depository requests the Issuer and the Trustee to do so, the Issuer and the
Trustee will cooperate with the Securities Depository in taking appropriate
action after reasonable notice (i) to make available one or more separate
definitive Series 200_-_ Notes to any Participant having Series 200_-_
Notes credited to its account with the Securities Depository or (ii) to
arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of definitive
Series 200_-_ Notes.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the
contrary, so long as any Series 200_-_ Note is registered in the name of
the nominee of the Securities Depository, all payments with respect to the
principal or Prepayment Price of and interest on such Series 200_-_ Note
and all notices with respect to such Series 200_-_ Note shall be made and
given, respectively, to the Securities Depository as provided in its letter
of representations.
(e) In connection with any notice or other communication to be
provided to Holders pursuant to the Indenture by the Issuer or the Trustee
or with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the
Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date
for such consent or other action and give the Securities Depository notice
of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such
record date (or such longer time as may be required by the Securities
Depository) to the extent possible. Such notice to the Securities
Depository shall be given only when the Securities Depository is the sole
Holder.
(f) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Series 200_-_ Notes
is permitted under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 17, such transfer
or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Trustee from the
registered Holder thereof of the Series 200_-_ Notes to be transferred or
exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted
transferee, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Indenture. In the event definitive Series 200_-_ Notes are issued to
Holders other than the nominee of the Securities Depository, or another
securities depository as Holder of all the Series 200_-_ Notes, the
provisions of the Indenture shall also apply to, among other things, the
printing of such definitive Series 200_-_ Notes and the methods of payment
of principal or Prepayment Price of and interest on such Series 200_-_
Notes.
SECTION 18. LIMITATION ON FEES.

fees provided for in the Cash Flows provided to each Rating Agency on the

may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Series 200_-_ Notes only pursuant to
a Bid or Sell Order placed in an Auction or otherwise sell, transfer or dispose

Holder or any former Registered Holder hereof of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding any provision of this Note or
related documents to the contrary all excess amounts theretofore paid or
received with respect to this Note shall be credited on the principal balance of
this Note (or, if this Note has been paid or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded by the recipient thereof), and the provisions of this Note and related
documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this
Note and under the related documents.

proceedings for redemption of any Note not affected by such defect or failure.
All Series 200_-_ Notes so called for redemption will cease to bear interest on
such Redemption Date, provided funds for their redemption have been duly
deposited, and, except for the purpose of payment, shall no longer be protected
by the Indenture and shall not be deemed Outstanding thereunder.
It is provided in the _____ Supplement that Series 200_-_ Notes of a
denomination larger than $50,000 may be redeemed in part ($50,000 or a multiple
thereof) and that upon any partial redemption of any such Series 200_-_ Note the

longer be deemed Outstanding under the Indenture, shall cease to be entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture and shall thereafter be payable solely from the

consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Registered Holder of
this Note and upon all future Registered Holders hereof and of any Note issued
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Issuer may require payment by the Registered Holder hereof of a sum

Indenture of Trust, dated as of March 1, 2002 (the "First Supplement"), between
the Issuer and the Trustee, a Second Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated as
of June 1, 2002 (the "Second Supplement"), between the Issuer and the Trustee

"_____ Supplement"). As provided in the Indenture, the Series 200_-_ Notes are
issuable in series which may vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted.
This Note is one of a series of Subordinate Notes issued under the Indenture and
the _____ Supplement (the "Series 200_-_ Subordinate Notes"). The Series 200_-_
Subordinate Notes are issued simultaneously with multiple series of Senior Notes
(the "Series 200_-_ Senior Notes" and, together with the Series 200_-_
Subordinate Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Series 200_-_
Notes").
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, copies of which are on file in
the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, and to all of the
provisions of which any Registered Holder of this Note by his acceptance hereof
hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description of and the nature and
extent of the security for the Notes and Other Obligations secured thereunder;
the student loan acquisition program being financed by the issuance of the
Notes; the revenues and other moneys pledged to the payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the Other Obligations; the
nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon
which Notes may be issued or Other Obligations may be incurred by the Issuer
thereunder, payable from such revenues and other moneys thereunder as Senior
Obligations or Subordinate Obligations; the conditions upon which the Indenture
may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the Holders of the
Notes; the rights and remedies of the Registered Holder hereof with respect
hereto and thereto, including the limitations upon the right of a Registered
Holder hereof to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
with respect hereto and thereto; the rights, duties and obligations of the
Issuer and the Trustee thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which the
liens, pledges, charges, trusts and covenants made therein may be discharged at

terms in the Indenture. The Series 200_-_ Senior Notes are being issued as, and
will constitute, Senior Notes under the Indenture. The Series 200_-_ Subordinate
Notes are being issued as, and will constitute, Subordinate Notes under the
Indenture.
The Notes and Other Obligations are limited obligations of the Issuer,

Senior Beneficiaries thereunder (except termination payments due under swap
agreements as a result of swap counterparty default). A failure to pay principal

an Event of Default under the Indenture if any Senior Obligation is Outstanding.

of a 365-day year for the number of days actually elapsed, except that for any
leap year such calculation with respect to an Interest Payment Date occurring
after January 1 of such year through December 31 of such year shall be computed

basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable), and is payable on each regularly
scheduled Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity hereof and at the Maturity
hereof. The interest payable on each Interest Payment Date for this Note shall
be that interest which has accrued through the last day of the last complete
Interest Period immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date or, in the case
of the Maturity hereof, the last day preceding the date of such Maturity. The
Applicable Interest Rate shall be effective as of and on the first day (whether
or not a Business Day) of the applicable Interest Period and be in effect
thereafter through the end of such Interest Period.
The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear
interest at an Applicable Interest Rate, payable on each Interest Payment Date
and at the Maturity hereof such interest to accrue from the later of the date
hereof or the date through which interest has been paid or duly provided for.
The Interest Period, the Applicable Interest Rate, the method of
determining the Applicable Interest Rate on each of the Series 200_-_ Notes and
the Auction Procedures related thereto, an Auction Period Adjustment, a change

account of its Participant, which in turn will maintain records of such
beneficial ownership, and (c) to authorize such Participant to disclose to the
Auction Agent such information with respect to such beneficial ownership as the

a Bid or Sell Order placed in an Auction or otherwise sell, transfer or dispose
of Series 200_-_ Notes through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the case of
all transfers other than pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Holder, its
Broker-Dealer or its Participant advises the Auction Agent of such transfer.

any other authorized Person pursuant to the provisions of the _____ Supplement
shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Series 200_-_ Notes to

reserved, taken or received pursuant to this Note or related documents)
calculated from the date of issuance of this Note through any subsequent day

of the Maturity of this Note results in payment to or receipt by the Registered
Holder or any former Registered Holder hereof of any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then notwithstanding any provision of this Note or
related documents to the contrary all excess amounts theretofore paid or
received with respect to this Note shall be credited on the principal balance of

documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this
Note and under the related documents.

the _____ Supplement.
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail mailed not less
than 10 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Series 200_-_ Notes to

proceedings for redemption of any Note not affected by such defect or failure.
All Series 200_-_ Notes so called for redemption will cease to bear interest on

thereof) and that upon any partial redemption of any such Series 200_-_ Note the
same shall be surrendered in exchange for one or more new Notes of the same
series in authorized form for the unredeemed portion of principal.

funds provided for such payment.
If an Event of Default shall occur, the principal of all the Outstanding
Notes may and, under certain circumstances, shall be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes and Other Beneficiaries under

the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding or Other Senior Beneficiaries or, if no
Senior Obligations are Outstanding, the Holders of specified percentages in
aggregate principal amount of the Subordinate Notes at the time Outstanding or
Other Subordinate Beneficiaries, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Registered Holder of
this Note and upon all future Registered Holders hereof and of any Note issued
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Issuer may require payment by the Registered Holder hereof of a sum

for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer,
the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar nor
any other such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
