Ladies and Gentlemen:

From time to time, Navient Credit Finance Corporation (“Navient CFC”), a Delaware corporation, and Navient Funding, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navient CFC, propose to enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a “Pricing Agreement”) in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and therein, the Company proposes to cause the Trust specified in the applicable Pricing Agreement to issue to the Company, and the Company proposes to sell to the firms named in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (each firm constituting the “Underwriter” with respect to such Pricing Agreement and the securities specified therein) certain of such Trust’s Student Loan-Backed Notes (the “Notes”) specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing Agreement, the “Designated Securities”), less the principal amount of Designated Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, as provided in Section 3 hereof and as may be specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing Agreement, any Designated Securities to be covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts are herein sometimes referred to as “Contract Securities” and the Designated Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters (after giving effect to the deduction, if any, for Contract Securities) are herein sometimes referred to as “Underwriters’ Securities”).

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more series. Each series of Securities, which will include one or more classes of Notes and may include one or more classes of Student Loan-Backed Certificates (the “Certificates,” and, together with the Notes, the

“Securities”) will be issued by a Trust to be formed with respect to such series (each, a “Trust”). Each Trust will be formed pursuant to a trust agreement (an “Initial Trust Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and the Owner Trustee specified in the related Pricing Agreement (the “Owner Trustee”) on or before the date of each Pricing Agreement and amended and restated at the Time of Delivery (as defined in Section 4 hereof) for that series pursuant to an amended and restated trust agreement (an “Amended and Restated Trust Agreement,” together with the Initial Trust Agreement, a “Trust Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (defined below). The Notes of each series will be issued and secured pursuant to an indenture (an “Indenture”) among the Trust, the Eligible Lender Trustee specified in the related Pricing Agreement (the “Eligible Lender Trustee”) and the Indenture Trustee specified in the related Pricing Agreement (the “Indenture Trustee”). The Certificates of a series will be issued pursuant to the related Trust Agreement and will represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust created thereby. The property of each Trust will include, among other things, educational student loans to students and/or parents of dependent students made under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“Student Loans”).

At the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities, (i) the Company will acquire the related Student Loans from Navient CFC, Blue Ridge Funding LLC (“Blue Ridge Funding”), Red Wolf Funding, LLC (“Red Wolf Funding”) and/or VL Funding LLC (“VL Funding”) under separate Purchase Agreements, (ii) the Company will sell the related Student Loans to the Trust pursuant to a Sale Agreement, between the Company and the Trust with the related Eligible Lender Trustee holding legal title thereto and (iii) the Company will make a deposit into the Supplemental Purchase Account, which may be used for the purchase of Additional Trust Student Loans during the Supplemental Purchase Period. With respect to each series, Navient Solutions, Inc., as servicer (the “Servicer”) will enter into a servicing agreement (a “Servicing Agreement”) with the Trust, the Administrator (defined below), the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Trust Student Loans. With respect to each series, Navient Solutions, Inc., as administrator (the “Administrator”), will enter into an administration agreement (an “Administration Agreement”) with the Trust dated as of the Time of Delivery, the Company, the Servicer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

The terms and conditions of any particular issuance of Designated Securities shall be as specified in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto and in or pursuant to the related Indenture.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein or in any Pricing Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture or the Pre-Pricing Disclosure Side Letter (as defined below).

1. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriter of such Securities, for whom the firms designated as representatives of the Underwriter of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto will act as representatives (the “Representatives”). The term “Representatives” also refers to a single firm acting as sole representative of the Underwriters and to an Underwriter or Underwriters who act on its or their own behalf without any firm being designated as its or their representatives. This Underwriting Agreement shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The

obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the Securities and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriter of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Representatives of such Underwriter and the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter and whether any of such Designated Securities shall be covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts (as defined in Section 3 hereof) and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and the registration statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms of such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of telegraphic communications or any other rapid transmission device designed to produce a written record of communications transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.

In case any such action shall be brought against any

indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall 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), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Navient CFC, on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Navient CFC, on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Navient CFC, on the one hand, and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Navient CFC bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters. The relative fault 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 the Company or Navient CFC, on the one hand, or such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, Navient CFC, Navient Corporation and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution

pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation may otherwise have, shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Underwriters and to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act, and shall remain of full force and effect notwithstanding any claim of one party against another under Section 7 hereof or under the Pre-Pricing Disclosure Package Side Letter. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have, shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company, Navient CFC or Navient Corporation and to each person, if any, who controls the Company, Navient CFC or Navient Corporation within the meaning of the Act and shall remain of full force and effect notwithstanding any claim of one party against another under Section 7 hereof or under the Pre-Pricing Disclosure Package Side Letter.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate liability of any Underwriter to Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, legal or other expenses or other amounts (collectively, “Amounts”) arising out of or based upon any breaches or alleged breaches by such Underwriter of its covenant set forth in Section 7(m)(ii), without regard to whether such Amounts are payable by such Underwriter under the indemnification provided by Section 9(b) or as damages for breach of contract or otherwise, will in no event exceed the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter, in each case as set forth in Schedule II to the Pricing Agreement applicable to the Designated Securities.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Underwriters’ Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Underwriters’ Securities, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Underwriters’ Securities on the terms contained herein and therein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Underwriters’ Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Underwriters’ Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Underwriters’ Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Underwriters’ Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Underwriters’ Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or in any other documents or arrangements (including the Pre-Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Ratings FWP), and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Underwriters’ Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Underwriters’ Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right (i) to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such non-defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, and, in addition, (ii) to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share of the Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made (which share only shall pertain to and be based on the principal amount of the Designated Securities which such non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters previously agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, it being acknowledged and agreed that such non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall not be required to purchase a share of any class of Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters which the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters had not previously agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities). Nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Underwriters’ Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Underwriters’ Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6(a) hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and Navient CFC and the several Underwriters and, to the extent provided in Sections 2(h), 5(g), 6(b), 9, 12 and 14, Navient Corporation, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, Navient CFC or Navient Corporation or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, Navient CFC or Navient Corporation, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 or Section 8(i) hereof, the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement except as provided in Section 9 hereof and in Section 6(a) hereof with respect to the Company and Navient CFC; but, if for any other reason Underwriters’ Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and Navient CFC will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Sections 6(a) and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of Designated Securities shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be designated for such purpose in the Pricing Agreement.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the Pricing Agreement; and if to the Company, Navient CFC or Navient Corporation shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to:

15. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement. As used herein, “business day” shall mean any day when banking institutions are open for business in New York City, New York.

17. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us ten counterparts hereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Navient Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Navient Credit Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Navient CFC”), propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Underwriting Agreement, dated __________, 20__ (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation, on the one hand, and _____________ and _________________, on the other hand, that the Company will cause Navient Student Loan Trust 2015-1 (the “Trust”) formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement dated as of _______, 20__ between the Company and ________ as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), to issue and sell to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”) the Student Loan-Backed Notes (the “Notes”) specified in Schedule II hereto (the “Designated Securities”). The Notes will be issued and secured pursuant to the Indenture, dated ___________ (the “Indenture”), between the Trust, the Eligible Lender Trustee and ____________, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

Each of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; and each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Pricing Agreement, except that each representation and warranty which refers to the Prospectus in Section 2 of the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement in relation to the Prospectus (as therein defined), and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Pricing Agreement in relation to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to the Designated Securities which are the subject of this Pricing Agreement. Each reference to the Representatives herein and in the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to you. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

The Representatives designated to act on behalf of the Representatives and on behalf of each of the Underwriters of the Designated Securities pursuant to Section 13 of the Underwriting Agreement and the address of the Representatives referred to in such Section 13 are set forth at the end of Schedule II hereto.

An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Designated Securities, in the form heretofore delivered to you is now proposed to be filed with the Commission.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to cause the Trust to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust, at the time and place and at the purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II hereto, the principal amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto, less the principal amount of Designated Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, as may be specified in Schedule II.

During the period beginning from the date of this Pricing Agreement for the Designated Securities and continuing to and including the Closing Date, the Company agrees, and Navient CFC agrees that it will cause the Company, not to, and not to permit any affiliated entity to, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, any securities (other than the Designated Securities) collateralized by, or any securities evidencing an ownership in, Student Loans, without the prior written consent of the Representatives.

Each Underwriter represents and agrees that:

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (the “FSMA”), received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Trust;

(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and

(c) in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of any Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State other than, (a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive; (b) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150,

natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive; or (c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of Notes shall require the Trust or the Underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this paragraph (c), the expression “an offer of any Notes to the public” in relation to the Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable investors to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

The Company represents and agrees that it has been informed of the existence of the FSA stabilizing guidance contained in Section MAR2, Xxx 2G of the FSA Handbook (the Handbook of rules and guidance issued by the Financial Services Authority).

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us _______ counterparts hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof, including the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters and the Company, Navient CFC and Navient Corporation.
