SERVICING AGREEMENT

The Student Loan Corporation (“SLC” and, in its capacity as servicer, the “Servicer”), a Delaware corporation, hereby agrees with (i) SLC Student Loan Trust 2009-3 (the “Issuer”), and (ii) SLC, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) under the Administration Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009 (the “Administration Agreement”), among the Issuer, SLC Student Loan Receivables I, Inc. (the “Depositor”), the Administrator and the Servicer as follows:

WHEREAS, the Issuer will acquire certain education loans to be held in the trust formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Issuer will issue notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of December 22, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and Citibank, N.A., as indenture administrator (in such capacity, the “Indenture Administrator”) and as eligible lender trustee on behalf of the Issuer (in such capacity, the “Eligible Lender Trustee”), which Notes are payable from the assets of the Issuer; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Administrator desire the Servicer to service the education loans on behalf of the Issuer, and the Servicer is willing to service those education loans for the Issuer and the Administrator.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1

Definitions and Usage. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A to the Indenture, which also contains rules of usage and construction that shall be applicable herein.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1

Custody of Trust Student Loan Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Trust Student Loans and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act for the benefit of the Issuer as custodian of the following documents or instruments (collectively the “Trust Student Loan Files”):

(a)

the original fully executed copy of the note (or all electronic records evidencing the same) evidencing the Trust Student Loan; and

(b)

any and all other documents and computerized records that the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such Trust Student Loan or any obligor with respect thereto.

Section 2.2

Duties of Servicer as Custodian. The Servicer shall hold the Trust Student Loan Files for the benefit of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Trust Student Loan File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the student loan files relating to similar student loans that the Servicer services on behalf of SLC and shall ensure that it fully complies with all applicable Federal and state laws, including the Higher Education Act, with respect thereto. The Servicer shall take all actions necessary with respect to the Trust Student Loan Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in order to enable the Issuer to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping with respect to the Servicer’s obligations as custodian hereunder. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator any material failure on its part to hold the Trust Student Loan Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator of the Trust Student Loan Files. If it is necessary to preserve the interests of the Noteholders and the Trust in the Trust Student Loans or at the request of the Administrator, the Servicer shall transfer physical possession of the notes evidencing the Trust Student Loans to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or any other custodian for either of them, the cost of which shall be borne by the Administrator.

Section 2.3

Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Trust Student Loan File at one of its offices specified in Attachment B to this Agreement or at such other office or storage facility as shall be consented to by the Issuer upon written notice to the Issuer. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Servicer shall make available to the Issuer or its respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Trust Student Loan Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer shall instruct.

Section 2.4

Release of Documents. Upon written instruction from the Indenture Administrator or the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any Trust Student Loan File to the Indenture Administrator, the Indenture Administrator’s agent or the Indenture Administrator’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Administrator may reasonably designate, as soon as practicable. The Indenture Administrator shall cooperate with the Servicer to provide the Servicer with access to the Trust Student Loan Files in order for the Servicer to continue to service the Trust Student Loans after the release of the Trust Student Loan Files. In the event the Servicer is not provided access to the Trust Student Loan Files, the Servicer shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 if it is unable to perform such obligations due to its inability to have access to the Trust Student Loans Files. The Servicer shall not be liable for any losses with respect to the servicing of such Trust Student Loans arising after the release of the related Trust Student Loan Files to the extent the losses are attributable to the Servicer’s inability to have access to the related Trust Student Loan Files.

Section 2.5

Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Trust Student Loan Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Indenture Administrator.

Section 2.6

Effective Period and Termination. SLC’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect for so long as SLC shall remain the Servicer hereunder. If SLC or any successor servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all the rights and obligations of SLC or any such successor servicer shall have been terminated under Section 5.1, the appointment of SLC or such successor servicer as custodian shall be terminated simultaneously with the effectiveness of such resignation or termination. On or prior to the effective date of any resignation or termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Trust Student Loan Files to the successor servicer. In establishing an effective date for the termination of the Servicer as custodian of the Trust Student Loan Files, the parties shall provide for a reasonable period for the Servicer to deliver the Trust Student Loan Files to its designated successor.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.1

Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer (to the extent provided herein), shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Trust Student Loans with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar student loans that it services on behalf of SLC, beginning on the Closing Date until the Trust Student Loans are paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other provision set forth in this Agreement and notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth herein, the Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make collections with respect to the Trust Student Loans (including the collection of any Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments on behalf of the Owner Trustee) in accordance with, and otherwise comply with, all applicable Federal and state laws, including all applicable rules, regulations and other requirements of the Higher Education Act and the applicable Guarantee Agreements, the failure to comply with which would adversely affect the eligibility of one or more of the Trust Student Loans for Federal reinsurance or Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments or one or more of the Trust Student Loans for receipt of Guarantee Payments.

The Servicer’s duties shall include, but shall not be limited to, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of borrowers on such Trust Student Loans (the “Borrowers”), monitoring Borrowers’ status, making required disclosures to Borrowers, performing due diligence with respect to Borrower delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Borrowers and otherwise establishing repayment terms, reporting tax information to Borrowers, if applicable, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly statements with respect thereto to the Administrator and the Issuer. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, and the Noteholders or any of them, instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Trust Student Loans; provided, however, that the Servicer agrees that it will not (a) permit any rescission or cancellation of a Trust Student Loan except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority or as otherwise consented to in writing by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator and the Owner Trustee, provided, however, that the Servicer may write off any delinquent Trust Student Loan if the remaining balance of the Borrower’s account is less than $50 or (b) reschedule, revise, defer or otherwise compromise with respect to payments due on any Trust Student Loan except pursuant to any applicable interest only, deferral or forbearance periods or otherwise in accordance with all applicable standards, guidelines and requirements with respect to the servicing of Student Loans; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall not agree to any reduction of yield with respect to any Trust Student Loan (either by reducing Borrower payments or reducing principal balance) except as permitted in accordance with Section 3.13. The Issuer hereby grants a power of attorney and all necessary authorization to the Servicer to maintain any and all collection procedures with respect to the Trust Student Loans, including filing, pursuing and recovering claims with the Guarantors for Guarantee Payments and with the Department for Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments and taking any steps to enforce such Trust Student Loans such as commencing a legal proceeding to enforce a Trust Student Loan in the name of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any other powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

Section 3.2

Collection of Trust Student Loan Payments.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts (including all efforts that may be specified under the Higher Education Act or any Guarantee Agreement) to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Trust Student Loans as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to similar student loans that it services on behalf of SLC. All amounts so collected by the Servicer shall be deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Administration Agreement. The Servicer shall allocate collections with respect to the Trust Student Loans between principal, interest and fees in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Administration Agreement. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Trust Student Loan.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to claim, pursue and collect all Guarantee Payments from the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee Agreements with respect to any of the Trust Student Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable, shall comply with all applicable laws and agreements with respect to claiming, pursuing and collecting such payments and shall follow such practices and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable guarantee agreements and student loans that it services on behalf of SLC. In connection therewith, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to convey to any Guarantor the note and the related Trust Student Loan File representing any Trust Student Loan in connection with submitting a claim to such Guarantor for a Guarantee Payment in accordance with the terms of the applicable Guarantee Agreement. All amounts so collected by the Servicer shall be deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Administration Agreement. The Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any power of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to convey such documents to any Guarantor and to make such claims.

The Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall, on behalf of the Issuer, make reasonable efforts to claim, pursue and collect all Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments from the Department with respect to any of the Trust Student Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable, shall comply with all applicable laws and agreements with respect to claiming, pursuing and collecting such payments and shall follow such practices and procedures as the Servicer follows with respect to similar student loans that it services on behalf of SLC.

In connection therewith, the Servicer shall prepare and file with the Department on a timely basis all claims forms and other documents and filings necessary or appropriate in connection with the claiming of Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments on behalf of the Owner Trustee and shall otherwise assist the Owner Trustee in pursuing and collecting such Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments from the Department. The Issuer shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any power of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to prepare and file such claims forms and other documents and filings.

Section 3.3

Realization upon Trust Student Loans. For the benefit of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with its servicing practices and procedures that it utilizes with respect to comparable student loans that it services on behalf of SLC and including all efforts that may be specified under the Higher Education Act or any applicable Guarantee Agreement in its servicing of any delinquent Trust Student Loans.

Section 3.4

No Impairment. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders in the Trust Student Loans.

Section 3.5

Purchase of Trust Student Loans; Reimbursement.

The Servicer, the Administrator, the Issuer, the Indenture Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the provisions of Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 which has a material adverse effect (individually or in the aggregate) on the Noteholders. In the event of such a material breach which is not curable by reinstatement of the Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loans, the Servicer shall cure the breach, reimburse the Issuer or purchase the affected Trust Student Loans not later than 210 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loans. In the event of a material breach with respect to such Trust Student Loans which is curable by reinstatement of the Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loans, unless the material breach shall have been cured within 360 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loans, the Servicer shall purchase such Trust Student Loans not later than the sixtieth day following the end of such 360-day period. The purchase price hereunder will be the unpaid principal amount of such Trust Student Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest (calculated using the applicable percentage that would have been insured pursuant to Section 428(b)(1)(G) of the Higher Education Act) plus an amount equal to all forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to such Trust Student Loans. Any breach that relates to compliance with the requirements of the Higher Education Act or of the applicable Guarantor but that does not affect such Guarantor’s obligation to guarantee payments of applicable Trust Student Loans will not be considered to have a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 3.5A.

[Reserved].

Anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, if as of the last Business Day of any month the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Trust Student Loans with respect to which claims have been filed with and rejected by a Guarantor or with respect to which the Servicer determines that claims cannot be filed pursuant to the Higher Education Act as a result of a breach by the Servicer or the Depositor, exceeds 1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Servicer or the Seller, as appropriate, shall purchase, within 30 days of a written request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator, such affected Trust Student Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that after such purchase the aggregate principal amount of such affected Trust Student Loans is less than 1% of the Initial Pool Balance. The Trust Student Loans to be purchased by the Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be based on the date of claim rejection (or date of notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3.5) with the Trust Student Loans with the earliest such date to be purchased first.

[Reserved].

In consideration of the purchase of any such Trust Student Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount to the Administrator in the manner and at the time specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.

In lieu of repurchasing Trust Student Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Servicer may, at its option, with the prior consent of the Administrator, arrange for the substitution of Student Loans which are substantially similar as of the date of substitution on an aggregate basis to the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted with respect to the following characteristics:

(1)

status (i.e., in-school, grace, deferment, forbearance or repayment),

(2)

program type (i.e., unsubsidized or subsidized Consolidation Loan),

(3)

school type (if available),

(4)

total return,

(5)

principal balance, and

(6)

remaining term to maturity.

In addition, each substituted Student Loan shall comply, as of the date of substitution, with the representations and warranties made by the Depositor in the Sale Agreement. In choosing Student Loans to be substituted pursuant to this subsection F, the Servicer shall make a reasonable determination that the Student Loans to be substituted will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders.

In the event the Servicer elects to substitute Student Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 and the Administrator consents to such substitution, the Servicer will remit to the Administrator the amount of any shortfall between the Purchase Amount of the substituted Student Loans and the Purchase Amount of the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted. The Servicer shall also remit to the Administrator an amount equal to all nonguaranteed interest amounts that would have been owed to the Issuer by the Guarantor but for the breach of the Servicer and forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.

The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Trust Student Loans, to reimburse the Issuer as provided above or to substitute Student Loans pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to choose among the aforementioned remedies at its sole discretion.

None of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Eligible Lender Trustee shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Trust Student Loan or the reimbursement for any interest penalty pursuant to this Section 3.5.

The Servicer shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 if it is rendered unable to perform such obligations, in whole or in part, by a force outside the control of the parties hereto (including acts of God, acts of war, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other disasters). The Servicer shall diligently perform its duties under this Agreement as soon as practicable following the termination of such interruption of business.

None of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Indenture Trustee shall have any responsibility for reviewing any Trust Student Loan or any documents in connection therewith to determine if a Trust Student Loan is an Eligible Loan or to determine whether any such document is valid and binding, any assignments or endorsements are in proper form or to inspect, review or examine any documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose.

Section 3.6

Primary Servicing Fee; Carryover Servicing Fee. The Primary Servicing Fee for each calendar month and any Carryover Servicing Fee payable on any Distribution Date in arrears by the Issuer shall be equal to the amounts determined by reference to the definitions of such terms as they appear in Appendix A to the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Basic Document, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive any Carryover Servicing Fee on any Distribution Date only if and to the extent that sufficient funds are available pursuant to Section 2.8(e) of the Administration Agreement or Section 5.4(b) priority fifth of the Indenture.

Section 3.7

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Trust Student Loans. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Servicer shall provide to the Administrator and its agents access to the Trust Student Loan Files and shall permit the Administrator to examine and make copies of, and abstracts from, the records and books of account of the Servicer relating to the Trust Student Loans and shall permit the Administrator to undertake periodic site reviews of the Servicer’s operations relating to the servicing of the Trust Student Loans (including on the premises of any agent of the Servicer). Reasonable access shall be afforded to the Administrator without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

Section 3.8

Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Administrator; provided, however, the Carryover Servicing Fee will be subject to increase agreed to by the Administrator and the Servicer to the extent that a demonstrable and significant increase occurs in the costs incurred by the Servicer in providing the services to be provided hereunder, whether due to changes in applicable governmental regulations, Guarantor program requirements or regulations or postal rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer may, at its option, collect fees from the Borrowers in connection with sending payment histories and amortization schedules to Borrowers, faxing documents to Borrowers, providing credit reference letters to Borrowers, providing a “speed pay” payment option to Borrowers and for other similar optional services requested by a Borrower and may retain such fees. The Servicer may also, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, collect fees from Borrowers for returned check processing or other insufficient fund transactions and may assess such fees from the Borrower’s Trust Student Loan payment and retain such fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any net payments owed to the Department which relate to special allowance payment rebates, the Servicer shall make such net payments as such payments become due, and the Servicer shall, upon written request to the Administrator, be entitled to reimbursement therefor from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of Available Funds) pursuant to Section 2.7(d) of the Administration Agreement.

Section 3.9

Appointment of Subservicer.

The Servicer may at any time, upon the written consent of the Administrator, appoint one or more subservicers to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any applicable Notice Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided, further, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Trust Student Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of any such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Trust Student Loans. The fees and expenses of a subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor. With respect to satisfying the Notice Condition referred to above, the term “subservicer” shall be deemed not to include systems providers, systems developers or systems maintenance contractors, collection agencies, credit bureaus, lock box providers, mail service providers and other similar types of service providers.

For the benefit of the Issuer, the Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer to comply with the provisions of the reporting and compliance provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer as is required to be filed with the Commission. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer, each as set forth in Article VII of this Agreement and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification on behalf of the Issuer as and when required to be delivered.

The Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide to the Issuer a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which, if any, elements of the Applicable Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance and attestations provided by each Subcontractor identified in clause (ii) of this paragraph.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of Article VII of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor, each as set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

Section 3.10

Reports. With respect to Trust Student Loans, the Servicer shall prepare reports and data and furnish the following information to the Issuer, the Administrator, the Indenture Administrator and the Owner Trustee, unless otherwise noted, at the specified times:

(a)

The reports and data listed in Attachment C, at the times indicated in the attachment;

(b)

Within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, to the Department, owner’s request for interest and Special Allowance Payments (ED 799);

(c)

To credit reporting agencies as may be selected by the Servicer, credit reporting in accordance with the Higher Education Act;

(d)

At any time the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator shall have reasonable grounds to believe that such request would be necessary in connection with its performance of its duties under related documents, and within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a request therefor, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator a list of all Trust Student Loans (by borrower loan identification number, type and outstanding principal balance) and any additional information requested relating to the Trust Student Loans; and

(e)

From time to time as may be reasonably requested, reports and data providing additional information on the Trust Student Loans.

Section 3.11

Securities and Exchange Commission Filings.

The Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Issuer satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. At the request of the Depositor, the Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Issuer any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Servicer shall sign and file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of either (i) receipt by the Servicer from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney or (ii) the termination of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Commission does not accept a certification signed by the Depositor where the related Form 10-K is signed by the Servicer on behalf of the Depositor, the Servicer should prepare such Form 10-K to be signed by the Depositor and the Depositor shall sign such form.

Each Form 10-D shall be filed by the Servicer within 15 days after each Distribution Date. On or prior to 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission), if requested by the Depositor, the Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits (i) the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 7.3 of this Agreement and Section 3.2(a) of the Administration Agreement and (ii) the accountant’s report described under Section 3.3 of the Administration Agreement, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Servicer. If they are not so timely delivered, the Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Servicer. The Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

The Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Attachment D or in such other form as may be appropriate or necessary and as may be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Depositor as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission in the Certification required to be filed with the Form 10-K, which are applicable to the Issuer), for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates by March 20th of each calendar year commencing in 2010 (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). In addition, (i) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.11C or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.11C or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.11C or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Upon any filing with the Commission pursuant to this Section 3.11, the Servicer shall make available to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or information.

Section 3.12

Covenants and Agreements of the Issuer, Administrator, the Eligible Lender Trustee and Servicer. The Issuer, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Owner Trustee each agree that:

Any payment and any communications received at any time by the Issuer and the Administrator with respect to a Trust Student Loan shall be immediately transmitted to the Servicer. Such communications shall include, but not be limited to, requests or notices of loan cancellation, notices of borrower disqualification, letters, changes in address or status, notices of death or disability, notices of bankruptcy and forms requesting deferment of repayment or forbearance.

The Servicer may change any part or all of its equipment, data processing programs and any procedures and forms in connection with the services performed hereunder so long as the Servicer continues to service the Trust Student Loans in conformance with the requirements herein. The Servicer shall not make any material change in its servicing system and operations with respect to the Trust Student Loans without the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Each written request for consent by the Servicer shall be acted upon promptly by the Administrator. Anything in this paragraph B to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer will not be required to request the consent of the Administrator with respect to any changes in the Servicer’s servicing system and operations which the Servicer reasonably determines are required due to changes in the Higher Education Act or Guarantor program requirements.

The Eligible Lender Trustee will furnish the Servicer with a copy of any and all Guarantee Agreements relating to the Trust Student Loans serviced hereunder.

The Servicer may and, at the direction of the Administrator, shall include marketing or informational material generally provided to borrowers of loans owned by SLC with communications sent to a Borrower.

The Servicer shall, if requested by a Borrower of a Trust Student Loan, arrange for the sale of such Trust Student Loan to another lender which holds another student loan of such Borrower at a price not less than the Purchase Amount.

The Servicer shall arrange for the sale of a Trust Student Loan to SLC upon receipt by the Servicer of an executed consolidation loan application from the Borrower of the related Trust Student Loan or a request from the Borrower to add additional loans to such Trust Student Loans as permitted under the Higher Education Act. The sale price for such Trust Student Loan shall equal the Purchase Amount.

Section 3.13

Incentive Programs; Deferment and Forbearance. The Servicer shall service the Trust Student Loans in accordance with the terms of any applicable borrower incentive program, to the extent such programs are in effect for each Trust Student Loan as of the Closing Date and to the extent any Borrower requests that any borrower incentive program be applied to the Borrower’s Trust Student Loan. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing policies, grant any Borrower alternative payment options as provided within the terms of the Trust Student Loans (e.g., interest-only payments); provided, that such Borrower requests and properly qualifies for such deferment or forbearance in accordance with the terms of SLC’s deferment or forbearance policies, respectively; provided, further, that under such deferment and forbearance policies, any interest payments that are postponed shall be capitalized no more frequently than quarterly and at the end of the deferment or forbearance period, respectively.

Section 3.14

Financial Statements. The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, Indenture Administrator and the Administrator at any time that the Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Administrator (a) as soon as possible, and in no event more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, audited financials as at the end of and for such year and (b) as soon as possible, and in no event more than 30 days after the end of each quarterly accounting period of the Servicer, unaudited financials as at the end of and for such period.

Section 3.15

Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance with respect to its property and business against such casualties and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is customary in the case of institutions of the same type and size.

Section 3.16

Administration Agreement. The Servicer agrees to perform all duties required of the Servicer under the Administration Agreement using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to its comparable business activities.

Section 3.17

Lender Identification Number. The Owner Trustee may permit trusts, other than the Issuer, established by the Depositor to securitize student loans, to use the Department lender identification number applicable to the Issuer if the servicing agreements with respect to such other trusts include provisions substantially similar to this paragraph. In such event, the Servicer may claim and collect Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to Trust Student Loans and student loans in such other trusts using such common lender identification number. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Basic Documents to the contrary, any amounts assessed against payments (including, but not limited to, Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments) due from the Department to any such other trust using such common lender identification number as a result of amounts owing to the Department from the Issuer will be deemed for all purposes hereof and of the Basic Documents (including for purposes of determining amounts paid by the Department with respect to the student loans in the Trust and such other trust) to have been assessed against the Issuer and shall be deducted by the Administrator or the Servicer and paid to such other trust from any collections made by them which would otherwise have been payable to the Collection Account for the Issuer. Any amounts assessed against payments due from the Department to the Issuer as a result of amounts owing to the Department from such other trust using such common lender identification number will be deemed to have been assessed against such other trust and will be deducted by the Administrator or the Servicer from any collections made by them which would otherwise be payable to the collection account for such other trust and paid to the Issuer.

Section 3.18

Privacy and Information Security Provisions. With respect to information that is “non-public personal information” (as defined in the GLB Regulations) that is disclosed or provided by the Trust (or on the Trust’s behalf) to the Servicer in connection with this Agreement, or any Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party, the Servicer agrees, subject to the terms hereof and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer shall comply with all reuse, redisclosure, or other customer information handling, processing, security, and protection requirements that are specifically required of a non-affiliated third-party processor or servicer (or subcontractor) under the GLB Regulations and other applicable federal consumer privacy laws, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that:

the Servicer is prohibited from disclosing or using any “non-public personal information” (as defined in the GLB Regulations) disclosed or provided by the Trust or on the Trust’s behalf to the Servicer, except solely to carry out the purposes for which it was disclosed, including use under an exception contained in 12 CFR sections 40.14 or 40.15 or 16 CFR sections 313.14 or 313.15, as applicable, of the GLB Regulations in the ordinary course of business to carry out those purposes; and

the Servicer has implemented and will maintain an information security program designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, Final Rule (12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B) and the Federal Trade Commission’s Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (16 CFR Part 314).

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1

Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Trust Student Loans and appointing the Servicer as servicer hereunder. The representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Student Loans to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator pursuant to the Indenture.

Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, the power, authority and legal right to service the Trust Student Loans and to hold the Trust Student Loan Files as custodian.

Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Trust Student Loans as required by this Agreement) shall require such qualifications.

Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary action. No registration with or approval of any governmental agency is required for the due execution and delivery by, and enforceability against, the Servicer of this Agreement.

Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to equitable principles.

No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the bylaws of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement and the other Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties.

No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the Servicer’s best knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which the Servicer is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which the Servicer is a party, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which the Servicer is a party, or (iv) relating to the Servicer and which might adversely affect the Federal or state income tax attributes of the Notes.

Section 4.2

Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement.

The Servicer shall pay for any loss, liability, claim or expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and of investigation counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) or the Eligible Lender Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) by the Department pursuant to the Higher Education Act, to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arose out of, or was imposed upon the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) or the Eligible Lender Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) through, the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of the reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, where the final determination that any such loss, liability or expense arose out of, or was imposed upon the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) or the Eligible Lender Trustee (in its capacity as such or individually) through, any such negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or recklessness on the part of the Servicer is established by a court of law, by an arbitrator or by way of settlement agreed to by the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by a force outside the control of the parties hereto (including acts of God, acts of war, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other disasters) to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to have breached any such obligation upon delivery of written notice of such event to the other parties hereto, for so long as the Servicer remains unable to perform such obligation as a result of such event.

For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of SLC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 4.3) as Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor servicer pursuant to Section 5.2.

Liability of the Servicer under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Eligible Lender Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. If the Servicer shall have made any payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

Section 4.3

Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. The Servicer hereby agrees that, upon (a) any merger or consolidation of the Servicer into another Person, (b) any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party resulting in the creation of another Person or (c) any Person succeeding to the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole, the Servicer shall (i) cause such Person (if other than the Servicer) to execute an agreement which states expressly that such Person assumes every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, (ii) deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) cause the Notice Condition to have been satisfied with respect to such transaction and (iv) cure any existing Servicer Default or any continuing event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Servicer Default. Upon compliance with the foregoing requirements, such Person shall be the successor servicer under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 4.4

Limitation on Liability of Servicer. The Servicer shall not be under any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Administrator, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Indenture Trustee except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement, for errors in judgment, for any incorrect or incomplete information provided by schools, Borrowers, Guarantors and the Department, for the failure of any party to this Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document to comply with its respective obligations hereunder or under any other Basic Document or for any losses attributable to the insolvency of any Guarantor; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against its obligation to purchase Student Loans from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof or to pay to the Trust amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof or against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action where it is not named as a party; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the interests of the Noteholders. To the extent that the Servicer is required to appear in or is made a defendant in any legal action or other proceeding relating to the servicing of the Trust Student Loans, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from all cost, liability or expense of the Servicer not arising out of or relating to the failure of the Servicer to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.5

SLC Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, SLC shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement are no longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of SLC shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Administrator or a successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of SLC in accordance with Section 5.2.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1

Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(1)

any failure by the Servicer (i) to deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator, as the case may be, for deposit in the Trust Accounts any payment required by the Basic Documents to which the Servicer is a signatory or (ii) in the event that daily deposits into the Collection Account are not required, to deliver to the Administrator any payment required by the Basic Documents, which failure in case of either clause (i) or (ii) continues unremedied for five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator or the Administrator or five Business Days after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

(2)

any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other term, covenant or agreement of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document to which the Servicer is a signatory, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, or the Noteholders and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Administrator or (B) to the Servicer, and to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee by the Noteholders representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, however, that any breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 shall not be deemed a Servicer Default so long as the Servicer is in compliance with its obligations under Section 3.5; or

(3)

an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer; or

(4)

any failure by the Servicer to comply with any requirements under the Higher Education Act resulting in a loss of its eligibility as a third-party servicer; or

(5)

any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants' letter when and as required under Article VII (including, without limitation, any failure by the Servicer to identify any Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB), which continues unremedied for fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants' letter was required to be delivered;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Administrator, or the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 3.5 and Section 4.2) of the Servicer under this Agreement. As of the effective date of termination of the Servicer, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes or the Trust Student Loans or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Administrator or such successor servicer as may be appointed under Section 5.2. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor servicer and the Indenture Administrator in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to a Trust Student Loan. All reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Trust Student Loans properly and effectively, costs reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, costs or expenses associated with the transfer of all servicing files and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary, incurred in connection with transferring the Trust Student Loan Files to the successor servicer and amending this Agreement and any other Basic Documents to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (other than the Indenture Administrator acting as the Servicer under this Section 5.1) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Servicer (other than the Indenture Administrator) does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Issuer and the successor servicer shall be entitled to receive such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrator and the Rating Agencies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations to service the Trust Student Loans, nor will a Servicer Default be deemed to have occurred under this Section 5.1, if the Servicer is rendered unable to perform such obligations, in whole or in part, by a force outside the control of the parties hereto (including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of war or terrorism, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other material natural or man made disasters); provided, that the Servicer shall be required to diligently undertake all actions necessary to resume the performance of its duties hereunder as soon as practicable following the termination of such business interruption or, if necessary and appropriate in its reasonable judgment to enable the proper servicing of the Trust Student Loans, to transfer servicing, either temporarily or permanently, to another servicer.

Section 5.2

Appointment of Successor.

Upon receipt by the Servicer of notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.1, or the resignation by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the Indenture Administrator or a successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and duties of SLC. In the event of the termination hereunder of the Servicer, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer acceptable to the Indenture Administrator, and the successor servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Indenture Administrator. In the event that a successor servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Administrator without further action shall automatically be appointed the successor servicer and the Indenture Administrator shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and any Carryover Servicing Fees. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Administrator shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution whose regular business shall include the servicing of student loans, as the successor servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor servicer shall in no event relieve the Indenture Administrator from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

Upon appointment, the successor to the Servicer (including the Indenture Administrator acting as successor to the Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the predecessor Servicer that arise thereafter or are related thereto and shall be entitled to an amount agreed to by such successor servicer (which shall not exceed the Servicing Fee unless the Notice Condition is satisfied with respect to such compensation arrangements) and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, that the successor servicer shall assume no liability or responsibility for any acts, representations, obligations and covenants of any predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor servicer becomes Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Administrator, to the extent it is acting as successor servicer pursuant hereto and thereto, shall be entitled to resign to the extent a qualified successor servicer has been appointed and has assumed all the obligations of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

Section 5.3

Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article V, the Indenture Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders, the holder of the Trust Certificate and the Rating Agencies (which, in the case of any such appointment of a successor, shall consist of prior written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies).

Section 5.4

Waiver of Past Defaults. The Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of Noteholders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and any consequences thereof, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts (or giving instructions regarding the same) in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the Administration Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended by the Servicer, the Issuer or the Administrator, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to comply with any change in any applicable federal or state law, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder; provided, further, that any such amendment shall not result in or cause a significant change to the permissible activities of the Trust.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Administrator, with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments with respect to Trust Student Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding Noteholders.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this clause B, to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

At least fifteen days prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each of the Rating Agencies. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrator.
