For FFELP Loans originated, processed and/or serviced by Xxxxxx Mae or any subsidiary or affiliate under a contractual relationship with a third party pursuant to which Xxxxxx Xxx or any subsidiary or affiliate originates, processes and/or services FFELP Loans, the sales requirement in Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement (as amended by the Settlement Agreement) that requires the sale of loans “processed and/or serviced by us or any affiliate” shall only apply to USA Funds, Inc. (“USA Funds”) and Northwest Education Loan Association (or their respective successors or assigns) (“NELA”), provided, that such originations and/or disbursements by USA Funds or NELA are processed on the origination or servicing platforms of Xxxxxx Xxx or any subsidiary or affiliate; provided, however, that the sales requirement in Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement (as amended by the Settlement Agreement) is not triggered if such FFELP Loans are processed by or through Xxxxxx Mae’s Open Net File Management System or its successor file management system and do not otherwise meet the requirements of this Section 6.C. For purposes of this Section 6.C, the term disbursement does not include services consisting solely of electronic funds transfer disbursement services.”
B. The definition of “Serial Loan” in Section 23 of the ExportSS Agreement is deleted and the following is substituted in its place:
“Serial Loan” means an additional FFELP Loan made to the same Borrower who was the borrower under a FFELP Loan of the same type owned by and sold to or required to be sold to ECFC or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or predecessors, including Xxxxxx Xxx financing trusts by any of Chase Bank, Bank One Bank or Bank One or, with respect to the FFELP Loans referenced in the first sentence of Section 12 below, any other Chase entity that is subject to the covenant in the first sentence of Section 12 below (a “Serial Loan Borrower”), unless (i) such Loan was subject to a sale commitment by Bank One to a third party existing as of the effective date of the ExportSS Agreement, or (ii) the prior loan is acquired by ECFC or any ECFC affiliate, subsidiary, or securitization trust through any purchase or acquisition after the date of this Second Amendment other than
10
from Chase Parties, or (iii) such Serial Loan Borrower switches schools to another school through which Bank One and/or Chase Bank makes FFELP Loans that are not subject to the sales requirements set forth in Section 9 of the ExportSS Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment and such Serial Loan Borrower enters into a new Master Promissory Note with either Bank One or Chase Bank. For this purpose, unsubsidized and subsidized Xxxxxxxx Loans are considered to be the same Loan type.”
C. The ExportSS Agreement is hereby amended to include Chase Bank and its permitted successors and assigns as a party to the ExportSS Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment, effective as of the Effective Date.
X. Xxxxx acknowledges that any Private Loan application listing Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A. as the lender that is processed on or after February 25, 2005, will be covered under the indemnification provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the second full paragraph on page 16 (Section 7) of the ExportSS Agreement.
E. The last sentence of the first paragraph of the “Delivery of Loans” provisions of Section 11 of the ExportSS Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“However, except for Loans that are Serial to Loans owned by Xxxxxx Xxx and serviced by Xxxxxx Mae or another contract servicer, or first time borrower FFELP Loans subject to Sections 5.B, 5.C, 5.D and 5.F of the Second Amendment, Xxxxxx Xxx agrees to make a reasonable effort to keep Loans on the servicing system of such third party servicer, provided that Xxxxxx Mae maintains a servicing agreement with such servicer.”
8. Costs Incurred in Connection With Calendar Year 2005 Chase-Branded Volume.
For the remainder of calendar year 2005, Xxxxxx Xxx will continue to pay the lesser of (i) [**]% of the origination and servicing fees for the third party vendors listed on Schedule III hereto (as described further in this Section 8) (“Allowable Servicing Fees”) incurred by Chase Bank, TCB, Chase Education Holdings, or the Joint Venture in connection with the origination and servicing of Loans generated through the marketing efforts of the Joint Venture and that are obligated to be sold to ECFC or its affiliates (or its designee) pursuant to the ExportSS Agreement, as modified by this Second Amendment, or (ii) $[**], which represents [**]% of the Allowable Servicing Fees budgeted for the Joint Venture in the Joint Venture’s 2005 Approved Budget at the November, 2004 Joint Venture board meeting. Xxxxxx Xxx shall be entitled to take as a credit against the sums owed the portion of such Allowable Servicing Fees that were actually paid by Xxxxxx Mae to the Joint Venture as a Member of the Joint Venture prior to the Effective Date. The parties will work in good faith to ensure that origination and servicing fees in the nature of the Allowable Servicing Fees that are incurred in connection with originating or servicing Bank One Loans (or Loans of any other affiliate or subsidiary other than Chase Bank or Chase Bank USA) are not included in this calculation. The parties agree that the monthly expenses incurred by the Joint Venture for calendar year 2004 will serve as a guideline to ensure that Bank One-related origination and servicing fees in the nature of the Allowable Servicing Fees are not inadvertently charged to the Joint Venture or subject to this Section 8. Allowable
11
Servicing Fees will not include any categories of items that were not charged to the Joint Venture for calendar year 2004.

15
13. Agreements and Representations and Warranties of SLM, SMI and ECFC
A.

14. Counterparts.
This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, but in such event, each counterpart shall constitute an original and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.

A. By Chase or Xxxxxx Xxx to, their accountants, attorneys, auditors, tax return preparers, and/or regulators, or as otherwise required in connection with disclosure obligations under the securities laws. The parties agree that to the extent permissible under any securities law disclosure obligation that requires disclosure of this Second Amendment, or any portion or terms thereof, they will seek confidential treatment from any such disclosure the items referenced in the first sentence of this Section 16 above;
B. To any third parties as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties; and
16
C. To the extent required by law, subpoena or other judicial process, provided that prior to complying therewith the party receiving such subpoena or process advises (to the extent legally permissible) the other party and the court or issuer thereof of this confidentiality provision and makes reasonable, diligent effort to protect the contents of this Second Amendment from disclosure.
Except as expressly modified herein, the ExportSS Agreement, including without limitation all sales requirements set forth therein, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties through each of their duly authorized representatives have hereto set their hands to be effective as of the 21st day of March, 2005.

Dear Xxxxxxxx,
Thank you for the opportunity to continue working with you and your staff to deliver a comprehensive education financing solution for students of Indiana University (see attached list of campuses). Xxxxxx Mae’s solution includes an industry leading federal loan program along with a customized private loan program. This “Letter of Understanding” summarizes the products and services that Xxxxxx Xxx will provide to Indiana University, its students and their parents. This Letter is considered an addendum to the Agreement between Indiana University and Xxxxxx Mae dated November 14, 2003 and all terms in that Agreement remain in effect. The terms in this letter are in effect for the Academic Year 2004/2005 and will be renegotiated each academic year, renewable through June 30, 2009.
Our main objectives will be to accomplish the following:
• Offer Indiana University students and their parents a comprehensive education financing plan that includes:
• Industry leading federal loan programs;
• Private loan program with competitive rates and fees; and
• Signature Opportunity Loan Program — private loans for students ineligible for other programs, including international students with proper INS documentation.
• Offer borrowers flexible repayment options and money-saving borrower benefits.
Xxxxxx Xxx is committed to these goals and pledges the full support of its professional staff in achieving these objectives. We are confident that Xxxxxx Mae has the expertise, depth and resources and infrastructure to create and implement an education-financing program that stands ahead of our competitors.

Terms of the Indiana University Comprehensive Line Program
Xxxxxx Xxx will provide a loan program tailored to the needs of Indiana University, its students and their parents. Under the program, Xxxxxx Mae offers Indiana University students a comprehensive education financing solution, including both federal and private education loans. The Indiana University/Xxxxxx Xxx arrangement will enable Indiana University to offer an innovative private loan program and expand access to education programs.
Federal Family Education Loan Program
Bank One (811925), Chase (807807), Dollar Bank (822583), FNB Sioux Falls (810457), Suntrust Bank (819873), Fifth Third Bank (803688), National City Bank (831403) and Citizens Bank of New England (805204) will fund FFELP loans for Indiana University students and their parents. Xxxxxx Xxx has agreements to purchase FFELP loans made by the above lenders and will provide loan origination and life-of-loan servicing on such loans.
Indiana University has indicated that they plan to continue to use USA Funds as its guarantor. USA Funds is Xxxxxx Mae’s preferred guarantor. Xxxxxx Xxx manages the guarantee, disbursement and customer service functions for USA Funds. By selecting a Xxxxxx Mae lender and USA Funds as its guarantor, Indiana University will have the benefit of true life-of-loan servicing from loan guarantee through repayment.
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Xxxxxxxx Loan Program – Students who meet all Title IV eligibility criteria can borrow for both undergraduate and graduate education.
Federal PLUS Loan Program – Eligible parents may borrow for each dependent undergraduate who is enrolled at least halftime. Parents may finance up to the full cost of attendance, less financial aid the student receives. Parents can apply for the loans via Xxxxxx Mae’s Parent Answer® Service.
• Xxxxxx Mae’s Parent Answer Service consists of a group of well-trained financial aid and loan counselors dedicated to assisting parents with college financing options.
• Parent Answer provides credit counseling for parents who have credit issues that may keep them from being credit Approved for a PLUS loan. This counseling service is known as PLUS SuccessSM. In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly, and a parent can be credit approved for a PLUS loan.
Private Loan Programs
Xxxxxx Mae’s private loan programs are designed to provide students with additional funding when federal loan programs do not meet the total cost of education. Xxxxxx Xxx sponsors the MBA LOANS® Program, the LAWLOANS® Program, the MEDLOANS® Program, the Indiana University Custom Dental Loan Program and the Signature Education Loan® Program. Xxxxxx Mae services these loans for the life of the loans. The private loan rates, fees and terms are those

in effect for Academic Year 2004/2005. These loan programs are reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to change. Xxxxxx Xxx will consult with Indiana University on any material changes prior to their implementation. This includes any changes to the rates and fees.

Borrower Benefits
Xxxxxx Xxx leads the industry with benefits that reward customers for repaying their loans on time, and make federal student loans more affordable. These benefits are available for loans originated, sold to and serviced by Xxxxxx Mae throughout repayment.
Xxxxxxxx Loan Borrower Benefits:
Indiana University campuses will have the option of selecting one or both of the following Xxxxxxxx loan borrower benefit programs (Note: these packages cannot be combined). Both packages will be offered to all eligible students. However, an individual student will select only one package for all of his/her Xxxxxxxx loans. In making this decision, we encourage serial borrowers to remain with their current Xxxxxx Mae lender so that they do have to complete a new Master Promissory Note. The two options are outlined as Scenario I and Scenario II below.
Scenario I – Indiana University Xxxxxxxx Borrower Benefit Package (Loans funded by Dollar Bank and FNB Sioux Falls):
• [**]% Loan Origination Fee for Xxxxxxxx Loan Borrowers – Indiana University borrowers, with loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2009, will have access to federal Xxxxxxxx loans with a [**] percent loan origination fee. These loans will be funded by FNB Sioux Falls and Dollar Bank.
• Indiana University [**] Percent Rewards – Xxxxxxxx borrowers funded FNB Sioux Falls or Dollar Bank who make their first 33 scheduled payments on-time get a [**] percentage point interest rate reduction on each eligible loan as long as they continue to pay on time. (Note: this interest rate reduction cannot exceed the actual interest rate on the loan at the time the benefit is earned.)
35
• Indiana University-Bloomington Xxxxxxxx serial loan borrowers whose loans were funded by FNB Sioux Falls for AY 2003/2004 will have the opportunity to replace their existing Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxx Back borrower benefit with the Indiana University [**] Percent Rewards Program, using their existing Master Promissory Note on new serial loans.
• [**] Percent Guarantee Fee – Indiana University students will have access to a [**] percent guarantee fee loan for AY 2004/2005.
Scenario II – Indiana University Xxxxxxxx Borrower Benefit Package (Loans funded by Bank One, Chase, Fifth Third Bank, Suntrust Bank, National City Bank and Citizens Bank of New England):
• Indiana University Payback for Xxxxxxxx Borrowers – Stafford borrower will receive a credit when Xxxxxx Xxx purchases the loans (approximately 30 days after full disbursement) that is equal to [**]% of the original principal balance of each eligible Xxxxxxxx loan. Borrowers are in control of their savings by choosing to receive the benefit as either cash or a loan account credit.

Combined Billing
Borrowers with FFELP and private loans owned and serviced by Xxxxxx Xxx have the benefit of receiving one monthly billing statement combining the loans.
Repayment Options
Combined Billing – FFELP and private loan customers whose loans are owned and serviced by Xxxxxx Mae have the benefit of receiving one monthly billing statement combining the loans.
Net.RepaySM is an online student loan xxxx presentment and payment service. With this system, customers receive an e-mail reminder when their monthly xxxx is available for viewing. After viewing, clicking on the “Pay” button will automatically debit the user’s specified bank account on the next business day.
The Standard Repayment option provides Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and private loan customers with the lowest total loan cost. This option requires payments of principal and interest due each month.
Xxxxxx Mae also offers several graduated and reduced payment options to make payments more affordable. Eligibility for a graduated repayment plan is dependent on loan type, interest rate and repayment time remaining.
The Grad ChoiceSM option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make reduced payments for two, three or four years that may be as low as interest only with standard payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment term. Payments under a Grad Choice option in some cases can be more than 60% lower during the reduced payment period than payments made under the Standard Repayment option. This repayment option is available to Xxxxxxxx and PLUS loan customers.
38
The Select StepSM option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make interest-only payments for up to four years followed by standard payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment term. This repayment option is available to Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and private loan customers.
The FLEX REPAYSM option – offered exclusively by Xxxxxx Xxx – makes payments more affordable for Xxxxxxxx and PLUS customers by extending student loan repayment while minimizing total loan costs as compared with loan consolidation. With Flex Repay, eligible customers can get lower payments for up to four years. If payment relief is still needed, principal and interest payments can gradually be increased for up to five years through reduced payment forbearance. Standard principal and interest payments follow for the remaining repayment term. The Flex Repay option is an affordable alternative to loan consolidation.
The Income-Sensitive Repayment option offers payments that are based on a percentage of the borrower’s monthly gross income. (The minimum payment amount must cover the monthly interest accrual.) The borrower must reapply every year and payments are adjusted annually to reflect any changes in the borrower’s income. This program is open to Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and consolidation loan customers.
Extended Repayment Option – Certain customers with greater than $30,000 in outstanding FFELP debt may be eligible for a 25-year repayment term and the choice of either a standard or graduated payment plan.
Signature Student Loan, MBA LOANS private loan, Indiana University Custom Dental Loan, LAWLOANS private loan and Bar Study Loan customers with private loan debt in excess of $20,000 may be eligible to extend their repayment term up to 20-years. Customers with even higher balances may be able to extend their term up to a 25-years.
Loan Consolidation
Xxxxxx Mae customers and non-Xxxxxx Xxx customers who have FFELP loans with more than one holder have the ability to consolidate with Xxxxxx Mae. Xxxxxx Xxx offers several loan consolidation options:
• The SMART LOAN Consolidation Account is a practical, education debt-management option that enables customers to consolidate all of their federal loan debt (Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and Xxxxxxx). This program enables customers to reduce their initial monthly payments by as much as 50 percent. As the nation’s largest FFELP consolidation lender, Xxxxxx Mae provides customers with expert consolidation counseling via a toll-free telephone number, and an array of web-based services, including an online application and electronic signature.
• The MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan is a federal consolidation loan program offered by Xxxxxx Xxx in cooperation with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan is a practical debt management tool that offers all
39
the benefits of a federal loan consolidation and more! Designed exclusively for customers who have attended schools of allopathic or osteopathic medicine, the MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan program provides special borrower benefits that can potentially save thousands of dollars in interest expenses. MEDLOANS also offers consolidation counseling services tailored to meet the needs of today’s medical students and residents as well as practicing physicians.
• SMART Advantage Account – allows Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxx and PLUS borrowers to place their Xxxxxx Xxx loans into a non-consolidated account and consolidate only the loans that Xxxxxx Mae does not currently own (i.e., direct loans). Borrowers receive payment relief needed through a longer repayment term and maintain eligibility for Xxxxxx Mae’s borrower benefits, which will reduce the total cost of their loan indebtedness.
Xxxxxx Mae can work with Indiana University to endorse and promote loan consolidation programs to students with outstanding direct loans or FFELP loans with other lenders to ensure that customers are aware of their consolidation options. Xxxxxx Xxx believes that the following services will allow Indiana University to personalize the relationship with their students. These services can include:
• Onsite exit counselling. Xxxxxx Mae can lead in-depth sessions designed to meet the needs of your students. Handouts can be tailored to include consolidation examples based on typical student debt profiles for your programs.
• Training sessions for your financial aid staff. These sessions are designed to help XXXx understand the consolidation application process and counsel students about debt management.
• Loan consolidation materials. These materials range from pocketsize consolidation information cards to comprehensive consolidation packets that include an informative, 12-page booklet and a SMART LOAN application.
• Personalized communications to students. Xxxxxx Mae can help your staff draft letters alerting students to specific consolidation opportunities, such as a pending rate change, or prepare and mail letters to those students who are Xxxxxx Xxx customers. These communications can be targeted to students who are preparing to graduate, to students who have graduated or to students who are already in repayment.
Customers who consolidate through Xxxxxx Mae will have access to the following loan consolidation borrower benefit programs. These programs offer substantial savings through interest rate discounts awarded for on-time payments.
• Direct Repay – SMART LOANS Consolidation Account borrowers will receive a ¼ percentage point interest rate reduction on eligible loans if they authorize the automatic debit of funds to cover their monthly loan payments.
40
• SMART LOAN® Consolidation Account Benefit – Customers who have an initial federal consolidation loan balance of at least $10,000 can earn a 1-percentage point interest rate reduction after they make their first 36 scheduled monthly payments on time. The interest rate reduction continues as long as on time payments are made.
• MEDLOANS Consolidation Rewards – a 1 percentage point interest rate reduction is available on MEDLOANS Consolidation Loans made on or after January 15, 2003. To qualify, MEDLOANS Consolidation customers must make their initial 48 scheduled monthly payments on time. The interest rate reduction continues as long as on time payments are made.
Note: Benefits are not applicable to the portion of MEDLOANS Consolidation Loans that are made up of HEAL loans.
• MEDLOANS Consolidation Cash Back – is an incentive program that rewards MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan customers for consistently making their payments on time and taking advantage of Xxxxxx Mae’s web-based account services. With this benefit, customers choose to receive a 1% credit or cash back based on the original principal amount of their MEDLOANS Consolidation Loans. To qualify:
• A MEDLOANS Consolidation Loan must have its first disbursement on or after January 15, 2003.
• The customers must enroll in Manage Your Loans and sign up to receive account information by e-mail.

Dear Jevita,
Thank you for the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive education financing solution for students at Xxxxxx Xxxxx University. Xxxxxx Mae’s solution includes an industry leading federal loan program and a customized private loan program. This “Letter of Understanding” summarizes the products and services that Xxxxxx Xxx and its lender partners will provide to Xxxxxx Xxxxx University students and parents. The terms in this letter will be in effect beginning July 1, 2004 and, except where noted, will remain in effect through June 30, 2008.
Our main objectives are to:
• Develop and implement a transition plan to move Xxxxxx Xxxxx University from the Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP) to the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) for Academic Year 2004/2005.
• Offer Xxxxxx Xxxxx University students and their parents a financing plan that includes:
• Industry leading federal and private loan programs; and
• Private loan programs with competitive rates and fees.
• Provide flexible repayment options and customized money saving borrower benefits.
Xxxxxx Mae is committed to these goals and pledges the full support of its professional staff in achieving these objectives. We are confident that Xxxxxx Xxx has the expertise, depth and resources and infrastructure to create and implement an education-financing program that stands ahead of our competitors.

PLUS PaybackSM – Xxxxxx Xxxxx University PLUS borrowers will receive a credit equal to [**]% of the original principal balance on each eligible PLUS loan. To qualify, a parent must:
• Borrower a PLUS loan for a child attending Xxxxxx Xxxxx University. The eligible lenders for this program are Chase or Citizens Bank. The PLUS loan must have its first disbursement on or after July 1, 2004.
• Enroll in Manage Your Loans and agree to receive account information by e-mail.
51
• Make his/her first 24 scheduled monthly payments on time to receive a [**]% credit. A second [**]% credit will be applied to the borrower’s account after an additional 24 on time payments are made.
With the Direct Pay SM plan, PLUS borrowers who authorize the automatic debit of funds from their checking or savings accounts to cover their monthly education loan payments will receive an interest rate reduction of [**] percentage point as long as they continue to make on time payments.
Combined Billing
Borrowers with FFELP and private loans owned and serviced by Xxxxxx Xxx have the benefit of receiving one monthly billing statement combining the loans.
Repayment Options
Net.RepaySM is an online student loan xxxx presentment and payment service. Borrowers receive an e-mail reminder when their monthly xxxx is available for viewing. After viewing, clicking on the “Pay” button will automatically debit the user’s specified bank account to cover their monthly loan payment.
Xxxxxx Mae offers several graduated and reduced payment options to make payments more affordable. Eligibility for a graduated repayment plan is dependent on loan type, interest rate and repayment time remaining.
The Standard Repayment option provides Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and private loan customers with the lowest total loan cost. This option requires payments of principal and interest due each month.
The Grad ChoiceSM option is a graduated repayment plan that allows customers to make reduced payments for two, three or four years. Payments may be as low as interest only and increase to standard payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment terms. Payments under a Grad Choice option in some cases can be more than 60% lower during the reduced payment period than payments made under the Standard Repayment option. This repayment option is available to Xxxxxxxx and PLUS loan customers.
The Select StepSM option is a graduated repayment plan that allows borrowers to make interest-only payments for up to four years followed by standard payments of principal and interest for the remaining repayment term. This repayment option is available to Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and private loan customers.
The FLEX REPAYSM option – offered exclusively by Xxxxxx Mae – makes payments more affordable for Xxxxxxxx and PLUS customers by extending student loan repayment and minimizing total loan costs as compared with loan consolidation. With Flex Repay, eligible customers receive lower payments for up to four years. If payment relief is still needed, principal and interest payments can gradually be increased for up to five years through reduced
52
payment forbearance. Standard principal and interest payments follow for the remaining repayment term.
The Income-Sensitive Repayment option offers payments that are based on a percentage of the borrower’s monthly gross income. The minimum payment amount must cover the monthly interest accrual. The borrower must reapply every year and payments are adjusted annually to reflect any changes in the borrower’s income. This program is open to Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and consolidation loan customers.
Extended Repayment Option – Certain customers with greater than $30,000 in outstanding FFELP debt may be eligible for a 25-year repayment term and the choice of either a standard or graduated payment plan.
MBA LOANS Private Loan, LAWLOANS Private Loan and Signature Loan borrowers with private loan debt in excess of $20,000 may be eligible to extend their repayment term up to 20-years. Borrowers with even higher balances may be able to extend their term up to a 25-years.
Federal Loan Consolidation Options
Xxxxxx Mae borrowers or students who have federal loans with more than one holder have the ability to consolidated with Xxxxxx Xxx. Xxxxxx Xxx offers several loan consolidation options:
• The SMART LOAN Consolidation Account is a practical, education debt-management option that enables customers to consolidate all of their federal loan debt (Xxxxxxxx, PLUS and Xxxxxxx). This program enables customers to reduce their initial monthly payments by as much as 50 percent. As the nation’s largest FFELP consolidation lender, Xxxxxx Mae provides customers with expert consolidation counseling via a toll-free telephone number, and an array of web-based services, including an online application and electronic signature.
• SMART Advantage Account – allows Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxx and PLUS borrowers to place their Xxxxxx Mae loans into a non-consolidated account and consolidate only the loans that Xxxxxx Xxx does not currently own (i.e., direct loans). Borrowers receive payment relief needed through a longer repayment term and maintain eligibility for Xxxxxx Mae’s borrower benefits, which will reduce the total cost of their loan indebtedness.
Xxxxxx Xxx can work with Xxxxxx Xxxxx University to endorse and promote Xxxxxx Mae’s loan consolidation programs to students with outstanding Direct Loans or FFELP loans with other lenders to ensure that customers are aware of their consolidation options.

• Loan consolidation materials. These materials range from pocketsize consolidation information cards to comprehensive consolidation packets that include an informative, 12-page booklet and a SMART LOAN application.
• Personalized communications to students. Xxxxxx Mae can help your staff draft letters alerting students to specific consolidation opportunities, such as a pending rate change, or prepare and mail letters to those students who are Xxxxxx Xxx customers. These communications can be targeted to students who are preparing to graduate, to students who have graduated or to students who are already in repayment.
Customers who consolidate through Xxxxxx Mae will have access to the following loan consolidation borrower benefit programs. These programs offer substantial savings through interest rate discounts awarded for on-time payments.
• Direct Repay – SMART LOAN Consolidation Account borrowers will receive a ¼ percentage point interest rate reduction on eligible loans if they authorize the automatic debit of funds to cover their monthly loan payments.
• SMART LOAN® Consolidation Account Benefit – Customers who have an initial federal consolidation loan balance of at least $10,000 can earn a 1-percentage point interest rate reduction after they make their first 36 scheduled monthly payments on time. The interest rate reduction continues as long as on time payments are made.

Xxxxxx Xxx incorporates Web-based technology to create more efficient loan delivery products to meet the unique needs of your school and its students.
