                                        5

   6



obligation to deliver reports containing information substantially similar to
the information contained in Reports).

respect to Privately Guaranteed Loans (as defined in the 1992, 1993-1995 and

         7. SERVICING OF TRUST STUDENT LOAN PORTFOLIO. It is the intent of the
parties hereto that the Trust Student Loan Portfolio be serviced by the Servicer
in substantially the same manner in all material respects as the Servicer
services Law Access(R) student loans owned by the Seller. The Servicer
acknowledges and agrees that all references in the Sale and Servicing Agreement
to the Servicer's "customary servicing procedures" or which require the Servicer
to follow such procedures as it follows when servicing comparable student loans,
shall be deemed to refer to the procedures and actions required under the
KeyBank Servicing Agreement. Specifically, the Servicer agrees that in addition
to, and not in lieu of, its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
it shall observe and comply with the terms, conditions and provisions of, and
perform with respect to the Trust Student Loan Portfolio the obligations of the
"Servicer" under, all of Sections 4 and 5, Sections 6.2, 6.3 through and
including 6.9, Section 8.4, Section 11, and Sections 12.3 and 12.4 of the
KeyBank Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that (i) references in such
sections to the "Owner" shall be deemed to refer to the Eligible Lender Trustee,
except that any reports, information or other communications to be given to the
"Owner" shall be given instead to the Administrator on behalf of the Eligible
Lender Trustee; (ii) with respect to Section 4.1, Correction of Errors, the
obligations of the "Owner" therein to pay costs of correcting errors shall be

Servicing Agreement shall control in the event of any inconsistency or conflict
between such Section 4.10 and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         The Monthly Base Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement shall be subject to reduction (or rebate, as
appropriate) to the same extent, in the same manner and subject to the same
terms and conditions as servicing fees payable to the "Servicer" may be reduced
or subject to rebate under Sections 5.4 and 5.6 of the KeyBank Servicing
Agreement. In addition, the Eligible Lender Trustee may declare a "Servicer
Default under Section 8.01(a)(2) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for failure
of the Servicer to perform the Servicing Standards as described in the third
sentence in Section 5.6 of the KeyBank Servicing Agreement.

         Except as provided above with respect to Section 4.10 of the KeyBank
Servicing Agreement, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the
KeyBank Servicing Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then the more
specific of the inconsistent or conflicting terms, conditions, provisions of
standards shall control over the more general term, condition, provision or
standard, unless (i) such more specific term, condition, provision or standard
is contained in the KeyBank Servicing Agreement and to follow such KeyBank
Servicing Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or
Certificateholders, in which case the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall
control, or (ii) the Servicer shall have received notice from the Administrator
or, after any Administrator Default as defined in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, from the Eligible Lender Trustee or Indenture Trustee to follow the
term, condition, provision or standard set forth in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, in which case the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall control.

         PHEAA shall make available to the Administrator the same Remote
Time-Sharing Services Program with respect to the Trust Student Loan Portfolio
as PHEAA makes available to Seller pursuant to the KeyBank RT-SS Agreement with
respect to the Seller's student loan portfolio. In consideration of the
foregoing, each of PHEAA and the Administrator agree to observe and comply with
the obligations of the "Agency" and "Institution," respectively, contained in
sections 1, 2 and 6 through 10, inclusive, of the KeyBank RT-SS Agreement.

         8. BIDS/FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS.

borrower's loans are to be sold and (ii) any and all rights PHEAA or LAI has or

Coordination Agreement, the 1993-1995 Coordination Agreement, the 1992
Coordination Agreement, the 1991 Coordination Agreement and the 1990

         (b) (i) In connection with any contemplated sale of all or any part of
the Trust Student Loan Portfolio by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the
Trust or by the Indenture Trustee, the seller (being the Eligible Lender Trustee
or Indenture Trustee, as applicable) shall notify PHEAA, LAI, ASA and TERI of
any proposed solicitation of bids or offers to purchase the Trust Student Loan
Portfolio or the portion thereof offered for sale, such notice to be delivered
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which bids or offers are
to be received by


                                        7

   8



such seller. Each of PHEAA and LAI shall be given an opportunity to submit a bid
or offer to purchase within such thirty (30) day period and if no other hid
exceeds PHEAA's or LAI's bid, such seller shall convey the Trust Student Loan
Portfolio (or portion thereof offered for sale) to whichever of PHEAA or LAI, as
the case may be, submitted the higher bid. The seller shall require any
purchaser or transferee who acquires the Trust Student Loan Portfolio, or any
portion thereof, to acquire all loans of a borrower included in the Trust
Student Loan Portfolio and not in default, except that the seller may sell or
transfer to a purchaser or transferee all federally guaranteed loans of a
borrower (i.e. loans guaranteed by PHEAA or ASA) and sell or transfer to a
different purchaser or transferee all privately guaranteed loans of the same
borrower (i.e. loans guaranteed by TERI).

                  (ii) The provisions of this subsection 8(b) shall not apply to
any sale or other transfer of the Trust Student Loan Portfolio, or any loan
therein, to KeyBank, the Administrator or the Servicer as may be required or
permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any Guarantor (as defined in
the Sale and Servicing Agreement) in connection with the enforcement of any
applicable Guarantee Agreement (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement).
KeyBank acknowledges that if any loan in the Trust Student Loan Portfolio is
reacquired by it, such loan shall from the time of such reacquisition become
subject to the restrictions and requirements on sale or transfer of loans by
KeyBank under the applicable Coordination Agreement.

         (c) LAI and PHEAA acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended
to, and does, fulfill or waive the obligations of KeyBank under the provisions

subsequent transferees or secured parties to comply with certain provisions of
Such Coordination Agreements.
