          (b) If, at any time when the Prospectus relating to the Series 2005-1 Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Company promptly will notify each of the Underwriters of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the SEC, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance.

          (e) No amendment or supplement will be made to the Registration Statement or Prospectus which the Underwriters shall not previously have been advised or to which it shall reasonably object after being so advised.

          (f) The Company will cooperate with the Underwriters and with their counsel in connection with the qualification of, or procurement of exemptions with respect to, the Series 2005-1 Notes for offering and sale by the Underwriters and by dealers under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate and will file such consents to service of process or other documents necessary or appropriate in order to effect such qualification or exemptions; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Series 2005-1 Notes, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

          (j) If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after execution and delivery pursuant to any provisions hereof (otherwise than by notice given by the Underwriters terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 hereof) or if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out of pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection herewith, but without any further obligation on the part of the Company for loss of profits or otherwise.

          (k) The net proceeds from the sale of the Series 2005-1 Notes hereunder will be applied substantially in accordance with the description set forth in the Prospectus.

          (l) Except as stated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus, the Company has not taken, nor will it take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Series 2005-1 Notes to facilitate the sale or resale of the Series 2005-1 Notes.

          (o) If, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, any information shall have been omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities Act, then, immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare, and file or transmit for filing with the Commission in accordance with such Rule 430A and Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, copies of an amended Prospectus containing all information so omitted.

          (p) As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the later of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement; (ii) the effective date of the most recent post effective amendment to the Registration Statement to become effective prior to the date of this Agreement; and (iii) the date of the Company's most recent Annual Report or Form 10 K filed with the Commission prior to the date of this Agreement, which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

5. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) College Loan agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to an Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company or College Loan by such Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 10 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this paragraph (a) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of an Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling an Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising from the sale of the of Series 2005-1 Notes by an Underwriter to any person if the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus and such Underwriter sold Series 2005-1 Notes to that person without sending or giving at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented but excluding documents incorporated by reference therein) if the Company has previously furnished sufficient copies thereof to such Underwriter at a time reasonably prior to the date such Series 2005-1 Notes are sold to such person. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which College Loan or the Company may otherwise have.

          (b) If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against an Underwriter or any person controlling an Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be sought against College Loan, such Underwriter or such controlling person shall promptly notify the parties against whom indemnification is being sought (the "indemnifying parties"), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). The applicable Underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person unless (i) the indemnifying parties have agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying parties have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; or (iii) the named parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Underwriter or such controlling person and the indemnifying parties and the Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying parties and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Underwriter or such controlling person to employ separate counsel (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Underwriter or such controlling person). It is understood, however, that the indemnifying parties shall, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for each Underwriter and controlling persons not having actual or potential differing interests with such Underwriter or among themselves, which firm shall be designated in writing by such Underwriter, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis as provided in paragraph (a) hereof. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding; and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

          (c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless College Loan and its directors and officers, and any person who controls College Loan within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the indemnity from College Loan to the Underwriters set forth in paragraph (a) hereof, but only with respect to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus therein, it being understood that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 10 of this Agreement. If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against College Loan, any of its directors or officers, or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against an Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph (c), such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to College Loan by paragraph (b) above (except that if College Loan shall have assumed the defense thereof the Underwriter shall have the option to assume such defense but shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Underwriter's expense), and College Loan, its directors and officers, and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by paragraph (b) above. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (c) hereof in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by College Loan on the one hand and the applicable Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Series 2005-1 Notes; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of College Loan on the one hand and the applicable Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by College Loan on the one hand and an Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter. The relative fault of College Loan on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by College Loan or the Company on the one hand or by an Underwriter on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          (e) College Loan and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes underwritten by such Underwriter exceed the sum of the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this paragraph (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations.

          (f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section and the representations and warranties of College Loan and the Underwriters set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, College Loan or any person controlling any of them or their respective directors or officers; (ii) acceptance of any Series 2005-1 Notes and payment therefor hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Underwriters, College Loan or any person controlling any of them or their respective directors or officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section.
