Ladies and Gentlemen:

College Loan LLC (the “Depositor”) has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $3,000,000,000 of student loan asset-backed notes. College Loan Corporation, a California corporation (“College Loan”), is the sole economic member of the Depositor. The Depositor proposes to cause College Loan Corporation Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), to issue and to sell pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) to UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. (each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”) $1,390,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2006-1A-1 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-2 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-3 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-4 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-5 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-6 Senior Notes, Series 2006-1A-IO and Series 2006-1B Subordinate Notes (together, the “Series 2006-1 Registered Notes”) in the classes and initial principal or notional amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto. The Series 2006-1 Registered Notes will be issued under a Second Amended and Restated Indenture of Trust, dated as of April 1, 2006 (as previously supplemented and amended, the “Base Indenture”), and a related Seventh Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated as of April 1, 2006 (collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as eligible lender trustee on behalf of the Issuer (the “Eligible Lender Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as indenture trustee (the “Trustee”). Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series 2006-1 Registered Notes, the Issuer will be issuing its Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2006-1A-7A Senior Notes and Series 2006-1A-7B Senior Notes (the “Series 2006-1 Non-Registered Notes” and, collectively with the Series 2006-1 Registered Notes, the “Series 2006-1 Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture. In addition, the Issuer has previously issued $5,853,000,000 of its Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes (the “Prior Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture. Upon issuance, the Series 2006-1 Notes, together with the Prior Notes and any future Student Loan Asset-Backed Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, the “Notes”), will be secured by, among other things, Financed Student Loans (as defined in the Indenture) pledged to the Trustee and described in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package (each as defined in Section 3 below). The Financed Student Loans will initially be serviced by ACS Education Services, Inc. (“ACS” or a “Servicer”) (formerly known as AFSA Data Corporation), Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc.

The Issuer, through the Eligible Lender Trustee, has acquired certain of the Financed Loans from College Loan pursuant to an Amended and Restated FFELP Loan Purchase Agreement (the “College Loan Student Loan Purchase Agreement”) with College Loan and its eligible lender trustee (the “College Loan Eligible Lender Trustee”). The Issuer, through the Eligible Lender Trustee, will acquire certain of the Financed Loans from the Depositor pursuant to a FFELP Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Depositor Student Loan Purchase Agreement”) with the Depositor and its eligible lender trustee (the “Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee”). The Depositor, through the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee, will acquire certain of the Financed Student Loans to be sold to the Issuer pursuant to the Depositor Loan Student Loan Purchase Agreement from (i) College Loan (a “Seller”), (ii) College Loan Warehouse LLC (“Warehouse LLC” or a “Seller”), (iii) College Loan Gold Funding LLC (“Gold Funding LLC” or a “Seller”), (iv) College Loan Royal Funding LLC (“Royal Funding LLC” or a “Seller”) and (v) College Loan Swiss Funding LLC (“Swiss Funding LLC” or a “Seller”), acting through their respective eligible lender trustees (each a “Seller Eligible Lender Trustee”). The Depositor and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee have entered into separate FFELP Loan Purchase Agreements with each Seller and its respective Seller Eligible Lender Trustee (referred to herein as the “Seller Student Loan Purchase Agreements”).

(c) it has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Series 2006-1 Registered Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

6. 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 Initial Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the Road Show Material, the Static Pool Data, or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 in the case of the Initial Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the Road Show Material, the Static Pool Data, or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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 (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact 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 Issuer 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 11 hereof, or (ii) a material error or omission from the mathematical calculations performed by the Underwriters (but not the data or the assumptions used to make such calculations, which the parties agree constitutes College Loan information) and used to derive the percentages, dates or terms presented in the tables entitled “Weighted Average Lives and Expected Maturity Dates of the Series 2006-1 LIBOR Rate Offered Notes at Various Percentages of the PPC” and the six tables entitled “Percentages of Original Principal of the Notes Remaining at Certain Quarterly Distribution Dates at Various Percentages of the PPC” with respect to the Series 2006-1A-1 Senior Notes, the Series 2006-1A-2 Senior Notes, the Series 2006-1A-3 Senior Notes, the Series 2006-1A-4 Senior Notes, the Series 2006-1A-5 Senior Notes and the Series 2006-1A-6 Senior Notes and contained under the heading “Prepayment, Yield and Maturity Considerations” in the Term Sheet, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement (all of the foregoing tables and percentages, dates and terms contained therein collectively, the “Collateral Based Calculation Tables”). The foregoing indemnity provisions shall be in addition to any liability which College Loan or the Issuer 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 under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission, provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the indemnified otherwise than under this Section. 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) of this Section. 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) of this Section, 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, the Initial Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, it being understood that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 11 hereof (except to the extent such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in such Initial Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus is based upon or results from errors, mistakes or omissions in information provided by College Loan to the Underwriters) and specifically excludes the Collateral Based Calculation Tables. 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, the Disclosure Package 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) of this Section (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) of this Section. The foregoing indemnity provisions 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) of this Section 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 2006-1 Registered 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 Series 2006-1 Registered Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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) of this Section. 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) of this Section 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 2006-1 Registered 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 2006-1 Registered 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.

12. Default by One of the Underwriters. If any of the Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Series 2006-1 Registered Notes which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the “Defaulted Notes”), the remaining Underwriters (the “Non-Defaulting Underwriters”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within one Business Day thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Notes upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Non-Defaulting Underwriters shall have not completed such arrangements within such one Business Day period, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the Non-Defaulting Underwriters.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Non-Defaulting Underwriters or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in notes of officers of the Issuer submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Issuer or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Series 2006-1 Registered Notes.
