SECTION 2.03. Conveyance of Financed Student Loans by the Eligible Lender Trustee to the Depositor in Connection with Consolidation Loans. On any date, upon receipt of written notice (or telephonic or facsimile notice followed by written notice) from the Depositor (or from KBUSA or the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) on behalf of the Depositor) by the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, will convey to the Depositor (or to either the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee or KBUSA as its designee) the Financed Student Loans identified in such notice, which are to be repaid pursuant to the Consolidation Loans to be made by the Depositor. In exchange for and simultaneously with such conveyance, the Depositor will, or will cause the Seller, to remit to the Indenture Trustee (or to the Administrator on its behalf) for deposit into the Group I or Group II Escrow Account, as applicable, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balances of all such Group I and/or Group II Student Loans, respectively, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of such conveyance.

SECTION 2.04. Endorsement. The Depositor (and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee, each) hereby appoints each of the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as the Depositor’s (and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee’s) true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to endorse the Depositor’s (and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee’s) name on any promissory note evidencing the Initial Financed Student Loans and any Additional Student Loans transferred to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02. The Depositor (and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee each) acknowledges and agrees that this power of attorney shall be construed as a power coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Trust Agreement remains in effect and shall continue in effect until the Trust Agreement terminates.

SECTION 2.05. Sale Not Secured Financing. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that each conveyance of the Financed Student Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer, as contemplated by this Agreement be (and be treated as) a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of any such Financed Student Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any of the Financed Student Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the Depositor, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of such Financed Student Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to such Financed Student Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of such Financed Student Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Issuer would otherwise be entitled to own such Financed Student Loans and proceeds pursuant to Article II hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any Trust Accounts created pursuant to this Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Sub-Servicers, as applicable, of each Financed Student Loan File or by the Indenture Trustee of each applicable Trust Account, and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or tangible chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313(a) (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Issuer pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Indenture shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Depositor and the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Financed Student Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the this Agreement and the Indenture.

SECTION 2.06. MPN Loans. With respect to each Transferred MPN Loan and each related Master Note that relates to a KBUSA Student Loan, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants, and KBUSA, as the applicable MPN Holder, on an on-going basis, hereby covenants as follows:

(A)

Transfer of Beneficial Interest in Transferred MPN Loan. Each Transferred MPN Loan represents a 100% beneficial interest in such MPN Loan, and is being transferred to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement. The MPN Holder shall hold bare legal title to the Master Note solely for the benefit of all MPN Loan Holders; provided, however, that the MPN Holder may be also be an MPN Loan Holder. The sale of an MPN Loan excludes an assignment of the Depositor’s right to offer future MPN Loans under a Master Note. The MPN Holder shall not provide to MPN Loan Holders more than one copy of the Master Note for each MPN Loan, to be marked “Official Copy” in red ink.

(B)

Custody of Master Note. The MPN Holder shall hold, or cause the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to hold, the Master Note underlying each Transferred MPN Loan for the use and benefit of all present and future MPN Loan Holders. The MPN Holder shall maintain, or cause the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer to maintain, continuous and exclusive possession, dominion and control over the Master Note and related documents. The MPN Holder shall not sell, transfer, assign or pledge any such Master Note except as is otherwise agreed to between the MPN Holder and the Securities Insurer.

(C)

MPN Loan Transfers. The MPN Holder shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the identity of present and future MPN Loan Holders. The MPN Holder shall not transfer or register the transfer of any MPN Loan to any other person except in accordance with the instructions of the person identified on its books and records as the MPN Loan Holder.

(D)

MPN Loan Modification; Subsequent Advances; Copies of Master Note. The MPN Holder shall not agree to any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment of any term of any Transferred MPN Loan other than as provided in Section 4.01 of this Agreement. The MPN Holder shall make no subsequent advances to a borrower under the related Master Note except pursuant to a separate MPN Loan. The MPN Holder shall not provide to any person other than an MPN Loan Holder any copy of a Master Note except to the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer for administrative purposes or for the MPN Holder’s internal administrative purposes.

(E)

Access to Information. The MPN Holder shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee from time to time upon written request of the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee (i) a list of the names and addresses of all MPN Loan Holders, (ii) a list containing the names and social security numbers of the borrowers under the related Master Notes, (iii) access to inspect the Master Notes and related records upon reasonable advance notice, and (iv) such other information with respect to the Master Notes which is reasonably requested by the Securities Insurer (with respect to Group II Student Loans) or the Indenture Trustee.

(F)

Resignation or Removal of MPN Holder. The MPN Holder may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and delivering all related Master Notes to a successor MPN Holder, which agrees to the terms of this Agreement, or to the Indenture Trustee. If at any time the MPN Holder shall fail to perform its duties hereunder, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, then the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of a majority in interest of the Group I Controlling Noteholders (with respect to the Group I Student Loans) may remove the MPN Holder and appoint a successor MPN Holder, which agrees to the terms of this Agreement by written instrument, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the MPN Holder so removed, or may require the MPN Holder to deliver the related Master Notes to the Indenture Trustee.

(G)

MPN Holder Other Than KBUSA. So long as KBUSA has not transferred all of its right, title and interest in a related Master Note, if KBUSA is not the MPN Holder, KBUSA shall cause such other MPN Holder to perform all covenants of the MPN Holder set forth in this Agreement.

(H)

Financing Statements and Further Assurances. KBUSA will cause to be filed all necessary financing statements or other instruments, and any amendments or continuation statements relating thereto, necessary to be kept and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law to give to and maintain (i) with the Eligible Lender Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, a first priority perfected ownership interest in such MPN Loans, and (ii) with the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a first priority perfected security interest in such MPN Loans. KBUSA shall from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, within 10 days of such request, such amendments to the Basic Documents and such further instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such first priority perfected ownership and security interests.

ARTICLE III

The Financed Student Loans

SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties of Depositor with Respect to the Financed Student Loans. The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties as to the Financed Student Loans on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring (through the Eligible Lender Trustee) the Financed Student Loans, and which are made for the benefit of the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the Securities Insurer. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Financed Student Loans and as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of the Subsequent Student Loans and the Other Student Loans, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Financed Student Loans to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(i)

Characteristics of Financed Student Loans. Each Financed Student Loan (A) was originated in the United States of America, its territories, its possessions or other areas subject to its jurisdiction by KBUSA (or originated by another lender in the United States of America and purchased by KBUSA) in the ordinary course of its business to an eligible borrower under applicable law and agreements and was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto and (B) provides or, when the payment schedule with respect thereto is determined, will provide for payments on a periodic basis that fully amortize the principal amount of such Financed Student Loan by its maturity and yield interest at the rate applicable thereto, as such maturity may be modified in accordance with any applicable deferral or forbearance periods granted in accordance with applicable laws and restrictions, including those of the Higher Education Act, any Guarantee Agreement or the Programs. Each Group I Student Loan that is a Financed Federal Loan qualifies the holder thereof to receive Interest Subsidy Payments (other than SLS Loans, unsubsidized Xxxxxxxx Loans and certain Consolidation Loans) and Special Allowance Payments from the Department and Guarantee Payments from the applicable Guarantor and qualifies the applicable Guarantor to receive reinsurance payments thereon from the Department. Each Group II Student Loan that is a Financed Guaranteed Private Loan qualifies the holder thereof to receive Guarantee Payments from the applicable Guarantor pursuant to the related Guarantee Agreement. No Additional Student Loan will be a Rehabilitated Student Loan.

(ii)

Schedules of Financed Student Loans. The information set forth in Schedule A-1 (with respect to all Initial Financed Student Loans that are Group I Student Loans), Schedule A-2 (with respect to all Initial Financed Student Loans that are Group II Student Loans), Schedule B-1-A (with respect to all Subsequent Student Loans that are Group I Student Loans), Schedule B-1-B (with respect to all Other Student Loans that are Group I Student Loans), Schedule B-2-A (with respect to all Subsequent Student Loans that are Group II Student Loans), and Schedule B-2-B (with respect to all Other Student Loans that are Group II Student Loans), to this Agreement and Schedule A to the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cutoff Date (with respect to Schedules A-1 and A-2 to this Agreement) or each applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date (with respect to Schedules X-0-X, X-0-X, X-0-X and B-2-B to this Agreement), as applicable, and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the holders of Notes, the Securities Insurer or the Swap Counterparty were utilized in selecting the Initial Financed Student Loans or the Additional Student Loans, as applicable. The computer tapes regarding the Group I and Group II Initial Financed Student Loans made available to the Issuer, its assigns, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans) and Swap Counterparty are true and correct in all respects as of the Cutoff Date. There will be no material changes made to either Schedule A-1 or A-2, to this Agreement without notice to the Securities Insurer and the acknowledgement of the Rating Agencies that such material change will not affect the ratings assigned to any Class of the Notes (and with respect to the Group II Insured Notes, without regard to the Group II Insured Notes Guaranty Insurance Policy).

(iii)

Compliance with Law. Each Financed Student Loan complied at the time it was originated or made and at the execution of this Agreement or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Agreement, as the case may be, complies, and the Depositor and its agents (including for such purpose, the Seller), with respect to each such Financed Student Loan, have at all times complied, in all material respects with all requirements of applicable Federal, state and local laws and regulations thereunder, including the Higher Education Act (with respect to the Group I Student Loans), usury law, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation B and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws and all applicable requirements of any Guarantee Agreements.

(iv)

Binding Obligation. Each Financed Student Loan represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the borrower thereof, enforceable by or on behalf of the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, and no Financed Student Loan has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, subject to clause (xiii) below.

(v)

No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened or exists with respect to any Financed Student Loan.

(vi)

No Default. No Initial Financed Student Loan has a payment that is more than 180 days overdue as of the Cutoff Date or, with respect to the Subsequent Student Loans and Other Student Loans, more than 90 days overdue as of the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be, and, except as permitted in this paragraph and Section 3.01(xix) below, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Financed Student Loan has occurred; and, except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 150 days or 90 days, as applicable, no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Financed Student Loan has arisen; and neither the Depositor nor the Seller, has waived and neither the Depositor nor KBUSA shall waive any of the foregoing other than as permitted by the Basic Documents. Not more than $16,691,823 (representing not more than approximately 3.01%) of the aggregate principal balance of the Group II Initial Pool Student Loans are Rehabilitated Student Loans and no Additional Student Loan will be a Rehabilitated Student Loan.

(vii)

Title. It is the intention of the Depositor that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Financed Student Loans from the Depositor (and the Depositor Eligible Lender Trustee) to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and that the beneficial interest in and title to such Financed Student Loans not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Depositor. No Financed Student Loan has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Depositor to any Person other than the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Depositor had good title to each Financed Student Loan, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall have good title to each such Financed Student Loan, free and clear of all Liens or the transfer shall have been perfected under the UCC.

(viii)

Lawful Assignment. No Financed Student Loan has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Financed Student Loan or any Financed Student Loan under this Agreement, each Subsequent Transfer Agreement or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.

(ix)

Security Interest Perfected; Delivery of Loan Files. All filings (including UCC filings) and/or delivery requirements necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a first perfected ownership interest in the Financed Student Loans, and to give the Indenture Trustee a first perfected security interest therein pursuant to the security interest granted under the Indenture, have been made or satisfied, as the case may be. A Financed Student Loan File has been delivered to the Master Servicer (or the Custodian or a Sub-Servicer) for each Financed Student Loan and each such file contains the original fully executed note (or a copy of a fully executed master promissory note) evidencing such Financed Student Loan (or, with respect to certain Financed Student Loans delivered to the Custodian, a lost note affidavit in lieu thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Securities Insurer, agreeing to repurchase the related Financed Student Loan in the event that it becomes uncollectable as a direct or indirect result of the lack of an original executed promissory note.) The promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Financed Student Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. All financing statements filed or to be filed promptly after closing against the Depositor in favor of the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer in connection herewith, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, describing the Financed Student Loans contain or will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

(x)

One Original. There is only one original executed copy of the promissory note evidencing each Financed Student Loan.

(xi)

Principal Balance. The aggregate principal balance of the Group I Initial Financed Student Loans, plus accrued interest to be capitalized with respect thereto, as of the Statistical Cutoff Date, is $313,063,516.97 and the aggregate principal balance of the Group II Initial Financed Student Loans, plus accrued interest to be capitalized with respect thereto, as of the Statistical Cutoff Date, is $555,387,556.27.

(xii)

No Claims. As of the Cutoff Date, no claim for payment with respect to an Initial Financed Student Loan has been made to a Guarantor, and as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date no claim for payment with respect to an Additional Student Loan will have been made.

(xiii)

No Bankruptcies or Deaths. No borrower of any Financed Student Loan as of August 1, 2003 (in the case of the Initial Financed Student Loans), or the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date (in the case of Additional Student Loans) was noted in the related Financed Student Loan File as being currently the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or as having died.

(xiv)

Interest Accruing. Each Financed Student Loan is accruing interest (whether or not such interest is being paid currently, by the borrower or by the Department, or is being capitalized), except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Basic Documents.

(xv)

No Government Borrower. No borrower of a Financed Student Loan is the United States of America or any State or any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

(xvi)

Origination. Each Financed Student Loan was originated in the United States of America, its territories, its possessions or other areas subject to its jurisdiction, and was originated or purchased for value by the Seller and by the Depositor in the ordinary course of its business. KBUSA had all necessary licenses and permits to originate or originally purchase each Financed Student Loan at the time of its origination or purchase of such Financed Student Loan.

(xvii)

Origination Practices. The origination practices used by the originator or KBUSA with respect to the Financed Student Loans have been in all respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(xviii)

Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines. Each Group II Student Loan constituting a Financed Private Loan was underwritten in accordance with the guidelines of the originator or KBUSA in existence at the time of origination and made available to the Underwriters, the Securities Insurer and the Rating Agencies prior to sale hereunder.

(xix)

No Sub-Prime Student Loans. Except with respect to Rehabilitated Student Loans, the Financed Student Loans do not and will not include any Financed Student Loans originated to individuals who have previously defaulted on their student loans.

(xx)

No Non-Performing Loans. No Financed Student Loan, as of the Statistical Cutoff Date, is in default nor does the Depositor expect to write-off any amount thereof as a loss.

(xxi)

Cohort Default Rates. With respect to the Initial Financed Student Loans only, and based on the most recently published Cohort Default Rates available on the Closing Date, no Group I or Group II Student Loans made to borrowers attending educational institutions with published Cohort Default Rates greater than twenty percent (20%) have been sold by the Depositor to the Issuer if, and to the extent that, such acquisition would cause the aggregate principal amount of either the Group I or Group II Student Loans included in the Trust Estate made to borrowers attending educational institutions with published Cohort Default Rates greater than twenty percent (20%) to exceed eight percent (8%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, respectively, sold to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement.

(xxii)

Instrument. Each promissory note executed by a borrower evidencing a Financed Student Loan (other than any master promissory note) constitutes an “instrument” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the states in which each such borrower resides at origination.

(xxiii)

Depositor’s Representations. The representations and warranties of the Depositor contained in Section 6.02 hereof are true and correct.

(xxiv)

MPN Loans. With respect to each Financed Student Loan that is also an MPN Loan, the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.06 hereof are true and correct, and the Depositor shall cause KBUSA to adhere to the covenants set forth in Section 2.06 with respect to such Transferred MPN Loans.

(xxv)

Security Interest Granted Hereunder. To the extent any conveyance of a Financed Student Loan by the Depositor to the Issuer is determined not to be a sale, the transfer of such Financed Student Loan provided for herein creates a valid and continuing security interest in such Financed Student Loan in favor of the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors and purchasers of the Depositor.

(xxvi)

Security Interest Granted Under the Indenture. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest in the Financed Student Loans in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors and purchasers of the Issuer.

(xxvii)

Issuer Ownership. Immediately prior to grant of the security interest under the Indenture, the Issuer will own and have good and marketable title to each Financed Student Loan free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(xxviii)

Consents. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals (if any) required for the sale of the Financed Student Loans hereunder to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer.

(xxix)

No Other Security Interests Granted. Other than (x) the sale to the Issuer hereunder (and/or the security interest granted to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05 of this Agreement), and (y) the grant of the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders, neither the Depositor nor the Issuer, respectively, has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Financed Student Loans. Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer has authorized the filing or is aware of any financing statements against the Depositor or the Issuer, respectively, that includes a description of collateral relating to the Financed Student Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer hereunder, or by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under the Indenture. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor or the Issuer.

SECTION 3.02. Repurchase upon Breach; Reimbursement. The Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Eligible Lender Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 6.02. Unless any such breach shall have been cured within 60 days following the discovery thereof by the Eligible Lender Trustee or receipt by the Eligible Lender Trustee of written notice from the Depositor, the Securities Insurer or the Master Servicer of such breach, the Depositor shall be obligated to repurchase (or shall cause KBUSA to repurchase) any such Financed Student Loan in which the interests of the holders of related group of Notes, the Swap Counterparty (but only with respect to the Group I Student Loans) or the Securities Insurer (but only with respect to Group II Student Loans) in the Group I Student Loans or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, are materially and adversely affected by any such breach (as determined by the Master Servicer with respect to the Group I Loans and the Securities Insurer with respect to Group II Student Loans (unless a Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, then in such case the Master Servicer)), as of the first day succeeding the end of such 60-day period that is the last day of a Collection Period; provided that it is understood that any such breach that does not affect any Guarantor’s obligation to guarantee payment of each Financed Student Loan that is a Financed Guaranteed Loan to the Eligible Lender Trustee in accordance with the related Guarantee Agreements will not be considered in determining whether there has been a material adverse effect for this purpose. In consideration of and simultaneously with the repurchase of any Financed Student Loan, the Depositor (or KBUSA on its behalf) shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.04, and the Issuer shall execute such assignments and other documents reasonably requested by the Depositor (or KBUSA on its behalf) in order to effect such transfer. Upon any such transfer of a Financed Student Loan, legal title to, and beneficial ownership and control of, the related Financed Student Loan File will thereafter belong to the Depositor (or KBUSA as its designee). In addition, if any such breach does not trigger such a repurchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Federal Guarantor to guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest, or the loss (including any obligation of the Issuer to repay to the Department) of certain Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments, with respect to a Financed Federal Loan, then, unless such breach, if curable, is cured within 60 days, the Depositor (or KBUSA on its behalf) shall reimburse the Issuer by remitting an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts and such forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments (with respect to the Group I Student Loans) in the manner specified in Section 5.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 hereof, and Section 3.04(b) of the Insurance Agreement, the sole remedy of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the holders of related group of Notes, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only) and Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be to require the Depositor (or KBUSA on its behalf) to repurchase such Financed Student Loans or to reimburse the Issuer as provided above pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein.

SECTION 3.03. Custody of Financed Student Loan Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Financed Student Loans and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby appoints the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments related to the Group I and Group II Student Loans (as set forth in Schedules X-0, X-0, X-0-X, X-0-X, X-0-X and B-2-B hereto), which are also hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer (or, in the case of the Additional Student Loans, will be, as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer) with respect to each Financed Student Loan:

(a)

the Financed Student Loan Note (or, with respect to certain Financed Student Loan Files held by the Custodian, a lost note affidavit in lieu thereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Securities Insurer, agreeing to repurchase the related Financed Student Loan in the event that it becomes uncollectable as a direct or indirect result of the lack of an original executed promissory note);

(b)

the original loan application fully executed by the borrower; and

(c)

any and all other documents and computerized records that any of the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer), the Administrator, the Depositor, or the Seller shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such Financed Student Loan or any Obligor with respect thereto (collectively, the items in clauses (a), (b) and (c) are referred to as the “Financed Student Loan Files”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without releasing the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations hereunder, for so long as Key Bank USA, National Association, or an affiliate thereof, is the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall (and in all other cases, may) appoint one or more Sub-Servicers to act as “custodian” on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (but at the direction of the Master Servicer) with respect to the Financed Student Loans such Sub-Servicer is servicing, in each case consistent with the terms of this Article III, and all references to the Master Servicer, as custodian shall be read to apply to such Sub-Servicer acting as custodian pursuant to this Agreement and the related subservicing agreement; and, provided, further, that if Key Bank USA, National Association is the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall not replace such Sub-Servicer unless and until a successor Sub-Servicer assumes the role of “custodian” on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to all the Financed Student Loans it will be servicing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall be responsible hereunder for any breaches by any Sub-Servicer of its obligations as custodian hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Servicer is directly servicing any Financed Student Loan, the Master Servicer shall appoint a separate custodian, at its sole cost and expense, for all Financed Student Loan Files relating to those Financed Student Loans pursuant to a separate custodial agreement and such third party custodian shall relinquish possession of a Financed Student Loan File, as applicable, under the terms of and for the limited purposes set forth in the related custodial agreement. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Custodian has been appointed pursuant to the Custodial Agreement to serve as custodian with respect to the Financed Student Loan Files relating to those certain Group II Financed Student Loans set forth on Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement. All references herein to the Master Servicer, in its role as custodian of those Financed Student Loan Files, shall instead be read to refer to the Custodian, acting as custodian for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Noteholders under the Custodial Agreement.

The appointment of the Master Servicer, the Custodian or any Sub-Servicer as custodian hereunder is for administrative purposes only and does not, and is not intended to, transfer any of the Issuer’s or the Indenture Trustee’s right, title or interest in or to the Initial Financed Student Loans (or Additional Student Loans) to the Master Servicer, the Custodian or such Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer hereby acknowledges (the Custodian in the Custodial Agreement acknowledges and each Sub-Servicer in the related subservicing agreement acknowledges) that it has not and will not obtain any such right, title or interest in or to such Initial Financed Student Loans (or Additional Student Loans). The Master Servicer (so long as it is Key Bank USA, National Association) hereby acknowledges that it does not currently have possession, and agrees that it will not at any time in the future take physical possession, of any Financed Student Loan Files.

SECTION 3.04. Duties of Master Servicer as Custodian. (a) Safekeeping. The Master Servicer, as custodian, shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) hold the Financed Student Loan Files for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Financed Student Loan File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian the Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer (or such Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) exercises with respect to the student loan files relating to all comparable student loans that the Master Servicer (or such Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) services and shall ensure that it complies fully and completely with all applicable Federal and State laws, including the Higher Education Act, with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Financed Student Loan Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Master Servicer’s (or such Sub-Servicer’s or the Custodian’s) record keeping. The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part (or on the part of a Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) to hold the Financed Student Loan Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause each Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) to deliver the Trust Receipts to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty on the Closing Date. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require any periodic review by the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Financed Student Loan Files.

(b)

Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Master Servicer, as custodian, shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) maintain each Financed Student Loan File at one of its offices (or the offices of the applicable Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) specified in Schedule C to this Agreement or at such other office as shall be specified by written notice to the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Indenture Trustee not later than 60 days prior to any change in location. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) make available to the Issuer, the Securities Insurer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Financed Student Loan Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Master Servicer (or such Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct.

(c)

Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer, as custodian, shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) release any Financed Student Loan File to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent, or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.

SECTION 3.05. Instructions; Authority To Act. The Master Servicer, as custodian, shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Financed Student Loan Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 3.06. Custodian’s Indemnification. The Master Servicer as custodian shall pay for any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee or any of their officers, directors, employees and agents as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Master Servicer (or any Sub-Servicer or the Custodian) as custodian of the Financed Student Loan Files where the final determination that any such improper act or omission by the Master Servicer resulted in such loss, liability or expense is established by a court of law, by an arbitrator or by way of settlement agreed to by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable to the Eligible Lender Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Master Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee.

The obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, or any of their officers, directors, employees and agent, under this Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Master 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 Master Servicer, without interest.

SECTION 3.07. Effective Period and Termination. The appointment of the Master Servicer as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect for so long as the Master Servicer shall remain the Master Servicer hereunder, subject to the requirements of Section 3.03 hereof. If the Master Servicer or any successor Master Servicer shall resign as Master Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or any such successor Master Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.01, the appointment of the Master Servicer or such successor Master Servicer as custodian shall be terminated simultaneously with the effectiveness of such resignation or termination. As soon as practicable on or after any termination of such appointment (and in any event within (i) 10 Business Days, with respect to that portion of the Financed Student Loan Files it holds consisting of electronic records and information, and (ii) 40 Business Days, with respect to the remaining portion of the Financed Student Loan Files it holds), the Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers or the Custodian to) deliver the Financed Student Loan Files it holds to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate; provided, however, that until such time as such Financed Student Loan Files have been delivered, the Master Servicer shall continue to be responsible for the custody of such Financed Student Loan Files.

SECTION 3.08. Schedule of Financed Student Loans. Schedules X-0, X-0, X-0-X, X-0-X, X-0-X and B-2-B hereto shall indicate by name any Sub-Servicer who has been appointed by the Master Servicer to service, on behalf of the Master Servicer, each Group I or Group II Student Loan, as applicable. Such Schedule shall also indicate whether a Sub-Servicer or the Custodian is in possession of the related Financed Student Loan File. Such indication may be amended by the Master Servicer, from time to time, to replace the name of the applicable Sub-Servicer, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Financed Student Loans.

ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Financed Student Loans

SECTION 4.01. Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Securities Insurer and the Issuer (to the extent provided herein), shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers to) manage, service, administer and make collections on the Group I and Group II Student Loans with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer (or such Sub-Servicer) exercises with respect to all comparable student loans that it services but in any event, in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent lenders and loan servicers administering similar student loans. 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 Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) manage, service, administer and make collections with respect to the Group I and Group II Student Loans (other than collection of any Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments, which the Eligible Lender Trustee will perform on behalf of the Trust) in accordance with, and otherwise comply with, all applicable Federal and state laws, including all applicable standards, guidelines and requirements of the Higher Education Act (in the case of the Financed Federal Loans) and any Guarantee Agreement (in the case of the Financed Guaranteed Loans), the failure to comply with which would adversely affect the eligibility of one or more of the Financed Federal Loans for federal reinsurance or Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments or one or more of the Financed Guaranteed Loans for receipt of Guarantee Payments or would have an adverse effect on the holders of Group I Notes, Group II Notes or the Securities Insurer, as applicable. The Master Servicer also hereby acknowledges that its obligation to service (or to cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to sub-service on its behalf) the Group I and Group II Student Loans includes those Additional Group I Student Loans and Additional Group II Student Loans, as the case may be conveyed by the Depositor to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to Section 2.02 and the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer by the Depositor promptly upon execution thereof; provided that any failure by the Depositor to so deliver a Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall not affect the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder to service (or to cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to sub-service on its behalf) all the Group I and Group II Student Loans.

The Master Servicer’s duties (or the duties of the applicable Sub-Servicers on behalf of the Master Servicer) shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of borrowers on such Financed Student Loans, monitoring borrowers’ status, making required disclosures to borrowers, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to borrowers and otherwise establishing repayment terms, reporting tax information to borrowers, if applicable, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements with respect thereto to the Administrator. The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers to) keep separate records with respect to the Group I and Group II Student Loans so that separate reports can be generated with respect to each group of Financed Student Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 and the first paragraph of this Section 4.01, the Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Master Servicer (or Sub-Servicer, as the case may be). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver (and may cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to execute and deliver), on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only), the Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) and the holders of the related group of Notes 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 Group I or Group II Student Loans; provided, however, that the Master Servicer agrees that it will not (nor will it permit a Sub-Servicer to) (a) permit any rescission or cancellation of a Group I or Group II Student Loan except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority or as otherwise consented to in writing by the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only, and provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Indenture Trustee or (b) reschedule, revise, defer or otherwise compromise with respect to payments due on any Group I or Group II Student Loan except pursuant to any applicable deferral or forbearance periods or otherwise in accordance with all applicable standards, guidelines and requirements of the Higher Education Act, any Guarantee Agreement or the Programs with respect to the servicing of the Group I and Group II Student Loans and except as otherwise permitted in accordance with Section 4.14; provided further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not agree (nor shall it permit any Sub-Servicer to agree) to any decrease of the interest rate on, or the principal amount payable with respect to, any Group I or Group II Student Loan except in accordance with the applicable standards, guidelines and requirements of the Higher Education Act, any Guarantee Agreement or the Programs and as otherwise permitted in accordance with Section 4.14. The Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer hereby grants a power of attorney and all necessary authorization to the Master Servicer to (or to cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) maintain any and all collection procedures with respect to the Group I and Group II Student Loans it services (or sub-services), including filing, pursuing and recovering claims against the Guarantors for Guarantee Payments and taking any steps to enforce such Group I and Group II Student Loan such as commencing a legal proceeding to enforce a Group I or Group II Student Loan in the name of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer (with respect to Group II Student Loans only), the Swap Counterparty (with respect to Group I Student Loans only) or the holders of the related group of Notes. The Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Master Servicer or the Administrator, furnish the Master Servicer or the Administrator (or at the written direction of the Master Servicer or the Administrator, the related Sub-Servicer) with any other powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Administrator (or related Sub-Servicer) to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder (or under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without releasing the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer has appointed Great Lakes and PHEAA as Sub-Servicers and may appoint one or more additional Sub-Servicers to act as “sub-servicer” on its behalf with respect to the Financed Student Loans such Sub-Servicer is sub-servicing, in each case consistent with the terms of this Article IV and any other provision of this Agreement, and all references to the Master Servicer shall be read to apply to such Sub-Servicer acting on behalf of the Master Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer may, in the event that a Sub-Servicer has been terminated or is no longer servicing the Financed Student Loans, perform the servicing functions required hereunder for up to 180 days, or a longer period of time if the Rating Agency Condition is met (with respect to the Group I Student Loans) or if consented to by the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only).

In addition, none of KBUSA, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall make any change to a Program that affects any Group I or Group II Student Loan, if such change would have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Group I or Group II Noteholders, as applicable, or, with respect to the Group II Student Loans only, the Securities Insurer without the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). The Master Servicer, the Depositor or KBUSA shall deliver to the Securities Insurer a copy of each change to a Program that materially affects any of the Group II Student Loans.

SECTION 4.02. Collection of Financed Student Loan Payments. (a) The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) 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 Group I or Group II Student Loans as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable student loans that it services. The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) allocate collections with respect to the Group I and Group II Student Loans between principal and interest in accordance with Section 5.03. With the written consent of the Administrator, the Master Servicer (or at the direction of the Master Servicer, the related Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion waive any charge or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Group I or Group II Student Loan.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) 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 Financed Guaranteed 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 all comparable guarantee agreements and student loans that it services. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (or at the direction of the Master Servicer, the related Sub-Servicer is authorized and empowered) to convey to any Guarantor the note and the related Financed Student Loan File representing any Financed Guaranteed Loan in connection with submitting a claim to such Guarantor for a Guarantee Payment in accordance with the terms of the applicable Guarantee Agreement.

(c)

The Eligible Lender Trustee shall, with the assistance of the Administrator as set forth below and 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 Financed Federal 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 Administrator follows with respect to its own student loans. All amounts so collected by the Eligible Lender Trustee shall constitute Group I Available Funds for the applicable Collection Period and shall be deposited into the Group I Collection Account Sub-Account, in accordance with Section 5.02. In connection therewith, the Administrator 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 Eligible Lender Trustee and shall otherwise assist the Eligible Lender Trustee in pursuing and collecting such Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments from the Department. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall upon the written request of the Administrator furnish the Administrator with any power of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Administrator to prepare and file such claims forms and other documents and filings.

The Eligible Lender Trustee may permit trusts, other than the Trust, established by the Depositor or KBUSA to securitize student loans to use the Department lender identification number applicable to the Trust. In such event, the Eligible Lender Trustee may claim and collect Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments with respect to Group I Student Loans in the Trust 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 or any Federal Guarantor to any such other trust using such common lender identification number as a result of amounts (including, but not limited to, the Federal Consolidation Loan Rebate) owing to the Department or any Federal Guarantor from the Trust will be deemed for all purposes hereof and of the Basic Documents (including for purposes of determining amounts paid by the Department or any Federal Guarantor with respect to the student loans in the Trust and such other trust) to have been assessed against the Trust and shall be deducted by the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Master Servicer and paid to such other trust from any collections made by them which would otherwise have been payable to the Group I Collection Account Sub-Account for the Trust. If so specified in the servicing agreement applicable to any such other trust, any amounts assessed against payments due from the Department or any Federal Guarantor to the Trust as a result of amounts owing to the Department or any Federal Guarantor 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 Eligible Lender Trustee or the Master Servicer from any collections made by them which would otherwise be payable to the collection account for such other trust and paid to the Trust.

SECTION 4.03. Realization upon Financed Student Loans. For the benefit of the Noteholders, the Securities Insurer and the Issuer, the Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer to) use reasonable efforts consistent with its customary servicing practices and procedures and including all efforts that may be specified under the Higher Education Act or any applicable Guarantee Agreement in its servicing (or sub-servicing) of any delinquent Group I or Group II Student Loans.

SECTION 4.04. Computation of Note Interest Rate. Prior to each Determination Date, the Administrator shall determine each Note Interest Rate that will be applicable to the Distribution Date following such Determination Date, in compliance with its obligation to prepare and deliver an Administrator’s Certificate on such Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.08. In connection therewith, the Administrator shall calculate Three-Month LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof and shall also determine each of the Student Loan Rates with respect to the Group I and Group II Student Loans with respect to such Distribution Date.

SECTION 4.05. No Impairment. The Master Servicer shall not (nor shall it permit the applicable Sub-Servicer to) impair the rights of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only), the Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) or the holders of Notes in such Financed Student Loans.

SECTION 4.06. Purchase of Financed Student Loans; Reimbursement. The Eligible Lender Trustee or the Master Servicer (or the applicable Sub-Servicer on its behalf) shall inform the other party as well as the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Depositor and KBUSA promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 or 4.05. Unless the breach shall have been cured within 60 days following such discovery (or, at the Master Servicer’s election, the last day of the first month following such discovery), the Master Servicer shall purchase any Group I or Group II Student Loan in which the interests of the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only), the Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) or the holders of related group of Notes are materially and adversely affected in the aggregate by any such breach (as determined by the Securities Insurer with respect to Group II Student Loans only (unless a Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, then in such case the Master Servicer)), as of the first day succeeding the end of such 60-day period that is the last day of a Collection Period (it being understood that any such breach that does not affect any Guarantor’s obligation to guarantee payment of such Group I or Group II Student Loan in accordance with Guarantee Agreements will not be considered to have a material adverse effect for this purpose). If the Master Servicer takes any action or fails to take any action (including, without limitation, all actions taken or not taken by a Sub-Servicer on its behalf) during any Collection Period pursuant to the sections referred to above that impairs the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only), the Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) or the holders of the related group of Notes in any Financed Student Loan or otherwise than as provided in such sections, the Master Servicer shall purchase such Group I or Group II Student Loan as of the last day of such Collection Period. In consideration of the purchase of any such Group I or Group II Student Loan pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, the Master Servicer shall remit the related Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.04. In addition, if any such breach by the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf) does not trigger such a purchase obligation but does result in the refusal by a Federal Guarantor to guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest, or the loss (including any obligation of the Issuer to repay to the Department) of certain Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments, with respect to a Financed Federal Loan, then, unless such breach, if curable, is cured within 60 days, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Issuer by remitting an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts and such forfeited Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments in the manner specified in Section 5.04. Subject to Section 7.02, the sole remedy of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the holders of related group of Notes, the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only) and Swap Counterparty (with respect to the Group I Student Loans only) with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 or 4.05 shall be to require the Master Servicer to purchase such Group I and/or Group II Student Loans or to reimburse the Issuer as provided above pursuant to this Section. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Group I or Group II Student Loan or the reimbursement for any interest penalty pursuant to this Section 4.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, at its option, may permit or cause a Sub-Servicer to purchase a Group I or Group II Student Loan from the Trust in its stead, in the manner and for the reasons set forth above.

SECTION 4.07. Master Servicing Fee.

(2)

any failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or to perform (or to cause to be observed or performed) in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of either the Group I or Group II Notes or (with respect to the Group II Student Loans or Group II Notes only, and provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans or Group II Notes only, in each case as determined by the Securities Insurer) 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 Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee, or the Administrator or (B) to the Master Servicer, and to the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee (x) with respect to the Group I Notes, by the Group I Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group I Notes, and (y) with respect to the Group II Notes, by the Securities Insurer (unless the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then by the Group II Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group II Notes);

(3)

an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Master Servicer; or

(4)

any failure by the Master Servicer to comply with any applicable requirements under the Higher Education Act resulting in a loss of its eligibility, if applicable, as a third-party servicer (or the failure of the Master Servicer to replace promptly any Sub-Servicer that has lost its eligibility as a third-party servicer);

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Master Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either (A) the Indenture Trustee (and with respect to the Group II Notes only, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing)), or (B) (x) with respect to the Group I Student Loans and the Group I Notes, the Group I Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group I Notes, or (y) with respect to the Group II Student Loans and the Group II Notes, the Securities Insurer (unless the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then by the Group II Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group II Notes), by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee if given by the Securities Insurer or the requisite holders of the related group of Notes) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 and Section 3.07 hereof) of the Master Servicer with respect to either (a) the Group I or Group II Student Loans, or (y) the Group I or Group II Notes, as the case may be, under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, and the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Master Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Master Servicer under this Agreement, all Sub-Servicing Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Master Servicer of its rights under all existing and related Sub-Servicing Agreements and the Custodial Agreement and for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Master Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to a Group I or Group II Student Loan, as applicable. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the related Financed Student Loan Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement, the related Sub-Servicing Agreements, the Custodial Agreement and any other Basic Documents to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Depositor, the Group I and Group II Noteholders and the Securities Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the successor Master Servicer shall have the option to assume the rights of the predecessor Master Servicer under each related Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, or to enter into new Sub-Servicing Agreements or Custodial Agreement with the existing or other replacement Sub-Servicers or Custodian, as applicable; provided, however, that unless the existing Sub-Servicer or Custodian, is in breach of its applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or Custodial Agreement, any and all contractual damages, costs and expenses owed to any Sub-Servicer or Custodian, under the existing Sub-Servicing Agreements or Custodial Agreement, as applicable, by reason of such cancellation, shall be borne by the successor Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the occurrence and continuance of a Master Servicer Default with respect to one group of Financed Student Loans and not the other group, (a) the requisite Group I Controlling Parties may only replace the Master Servicer with respect to the Group I Student Loans, and (b) the Securities Insurer (or the requisite Group II Controlling Parties in the event that the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or in the event of the occurrence and continuance of a Securities Insurer Default) may only replace the Master Servicer with respect to the Group II Student Loans. Neither the Securities Insurer nor any one group of Noteholders may replace the Master Servicer with respect to the Financed Student Loans comprising the other group of Financed Student Loans; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may replace the Master Servicer with respect to either or both groups of Financed Student Loans (but only with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing) with respect to the Group II Student Loans). If in the event that either (x) the Master Servicer is terminated with respect to only the Group I Student Loans and the Group I Notes, the Master Servicer shall remain liable under this Agreement for all of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Group II Student Loans and the Group II Notes, or (y) the Master Servicer is terminated with respect to only the Group II Student Loans and the Group II Notes, the Master Servicer shall remain liable under this Agreement for all of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Group I Student Loans and the Group I Notes. Any successor Master Servicer shall only succeed to the rights and obligations with respect to which the Master Servicer has been terminated. In the event that there are two Master Servicers, each Master Servicer shall master service its respective group of student loans and notes in the manner set forth in this Agreement and shall cooperate with the other Master Servicer to the extent necessary for each Master Servicer to fulfill its respective obligations hereunder.

In addition, in the event that the senior long-term debt rating of the Master Servicer is lowered below “A3,” “A-” or its equivalent by any Rating Agency, the Securities Insurer (provided that a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing), shall have the right to remove the Master Servicer with respect to the Group II Student Loans only; provided, however, that KBUSA shall have the right upon written notification of such removal to transfer its master servicing obligations to an Affiliate with a long-term senior debt rating of “A3,” “A-” or above from each Rating Agency, and such Affiliate shall be the successor Master Servicer with respect to the Group II Student Loans.

(b)

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

(1)

any failure by the Administrator to direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make the required transfers of amounts on deposit in any of the Trust Accounts to the Collection Account, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding any Monthly Servicing Payment Date or Distribution Date, as applicable, or any failure by the Administrator to direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make any required distributions from the Collection Account on any Monthly Servicing Payment Date or Distribution Date, as applicable, which failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Administrator from the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer or the Eligible Lender Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Administrator; or

(2)

any failure by the Administrator duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Administrator set forth in this Agreement, the Administration Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Notes or the Securities Insurer (in each case (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), as determined by the Securities Insurer) 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 Administrator by the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee or (B) to the Administrator and to the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee by the Securities Insurer (unless the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then by the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable); or

(3)

an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Administrator;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Administrator Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), or the Securities Insurer (unless a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable), by notice then given in writing to the Administrator (and to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Eligible Lender Trustee if given by the holders of Notes) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 6.05 hereof) of the Administrator under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Administrator of such written notice, all authority and power of the Administrator under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement, whether with respect to Notes or the Financed Student Loans or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Administrator as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The predecessor Administrator shall cooperate with the successor Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Administrator under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with amending this Agreement and the Administration Agreement to reflect such succession as Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Administrator upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Administrator Default, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies, the Securities Insurer and the Swap Counterparty.

In addition, in the event that the senior long term debt rating of the Administrator is lowered below “A3”, “A-” or its equivalent by any Rating Agency, the Securities Insurer (provided that a Securities Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing), shall have the right to remove the Administrator with respect to the Group II Student Loans only; provided, however, that KBUSA shall have the right upon written notification of such removal to transfer its trust administration obligations to an Affiliate with a long term senior debt rating of “A3”, “A-” or above from each Rating Agency, and such Affiliate shall be the successor Administrator with respect to the Group II Student Loans.

SECTION 8.02. Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon receipt by the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, of notice of termination (or, with respect to the Master Servicer of partial termination) pursuant to Section 8.01, or the resignation by the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, shall continue to perform its functions as Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, under this Agreement or under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement, as the case may be, 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 later of (x) the date 120 days from the delivery to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, shall become unable to act as Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the termination (or, with respect to the Master Servicer of partial termination) hereunder of a Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, the Issuer shall appoint, (x) with respect to the Group I Notes, provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, or (y) with respect to the Group II Notes, with the consent of the Securities Insurer (provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), a successor Master Servicer (with respect to the affected group or groups of Financed Student Loans) or Administrator, as the case may be, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and the successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, has ceased to act as Master Servicer or Administrator in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the applicable portion of the Master Servicing Fee or the Administration Fee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, in each case with the consent of the Securities Insurer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, any established institution whose regular business shall include the servicing of student loans, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement or to the Administrator under this Agreement and the Administration Agreement; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer shall in no event relieve the Indenture Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

(b)

Upon appointment, the successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be), shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Master Servicer (but only with respect to the group of Financed Student Loans with respect to which it is replacing the Master Servicer) or Administrator, as the case may be, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the predecessor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, that arise thereafter or are related thereto and shall be entitled to an amount agreed to by such successor Master Servicer or Administrator (which shall not exceed the applicable portion of the Master Servicing Fee or the Administration Fee, as the case may be, unless such compensation arrangements have been consented to by the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans and Group II Notes only and provided that no Securities Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) and will not result in a downgrading of the related Group of Notes by any Rating Agency) and all the rights granted to the predecessor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c)

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Administrator may resign unless it is prohibited from serving as such by law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Eligible Lender Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee, to the extent it is acting as successor Master Servicer or Administrator pursuant hereto and thereto, shall be entitled to resign to the extent a qualified successor Master Servicer or Administrator has been appointed and has assumed all the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

SECTION 8.03. Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to holders of the related group of Notes, the Securities Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies (which, in the case of any such appointment of a successor, shall consist of prior written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Securities Insurer and the Rating Agencies).

SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. (A) With respect to all Master Servicer Defaults, (x) with respect to the Group I Student Loans and the Group I Notes, the Group I Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group I Notes, or (y) with respect to the Group II Student Loans and the Group II Notes, the Securities Insurer (unless the Class II-A-1 Notes and the Class II-A-2 Notes are no longer outstanding or a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then the Group II Controlling Parties, representing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the related Group II Notes), may waive in writing any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, but only with respect to the related group of Financed Student Loans, and (B) with respect to all Administrator Defaults, the Securities Insurer (unless a Securities Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and then the Group I and Group II Controlling Noteholders, representing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of all of the related Group I and Group II Notes), may waive in writing any default by the Administrator in the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Administration Agreement, 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 Master Servicer Default or Administrator 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 IX

Termination

SECTION 9.01. Termination. (a) Optional Purchase of All Financed Student Loans by the Master Servicer. As of the last day of any Collection Period immediately preceding a Distribution Date as of which the sum of the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Financed Student Loan Pool Balance, the Master Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts; provided, however, that, unless each Rating Agency agrees otherwise, the Master Servicer may not effect any such purchase so long as the rating on its long-term debt obligations is less than Baa3 by Moody’s, BBB by S&P, unless the Administrator shall have given notice to each of the Rating Agencies and the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such purchase would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance. To exercise such option, the Master Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.04 in each sub-account of the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Group I and Group II Student Loans and the related rights with respect thereto, plus the appraised value of any such other property held by the Trust other than the Trust Accounts, such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Eligible Lender Trustee, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may not effect such purchase if the aggregate Purchase Amount to be so deposited in the Collection Account does not equal or exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Note Interest Rates to the date of exercise including the amount of all unpaid Noteholders’ Interest Index Carryover (with respect to each Class of Notes other than the Class II-A-IO Notes) with respect thereto and (ii) all amounts then owed to each of the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Cap Provider, if any.

The Indenture Trustee (or the Administrator acting on its behalf) shall provide a description of the Group I or Group II Put Option, as applicable, and copies of such other related documents as it deems advisable, in its sole judgment (or as is reasonably requested by any Noteholder), to assist the applicable Noteholders in determining whether to direct the exercise of the Group I or Group II Put Option, as the case may be. If a majority in interest (based on then respective Outstanding Amounts) of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders direct the Indenture Trustee, in writing, within 5 Business Days of the Put Option Exercise Date, to exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, as the case may be, then the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, as applicable, on the Put Option Exercise Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Group I or Group II Put Option Agreement, as applicable.

(ii)

Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (b)(i) above, the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, as applicable, on the Put Option Exercise Date if it has been advised by the Administrator (in its capacity as calculation agent under the Group I or Group II Put Option Agreement, as applicable), that the related Put Option Exercise Price to be received from the Put Option Provider would be less than the related Minimum Acceptable Put Exercise Option Price (plus all amounts then on deposit in the Group I or Group II Reserve Account, as applicable).

(iii)

In the event that the Indenture Trustee is not directed by a majority in interest of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, as applicable, to exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, respectively, all distributions on the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, will continue to be made on each succeeding Distribution Date in the manner provided in Section 5.05(c) above, and the provisions of Section 9.01(c) below shall not be applicable.

(iv)

In the event that the Indenture Trustee is directed to exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, as the case may be, by a majority in interest of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, respectively, but is unable to comply with such directions due to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) above being applicable, the Specified Collateral Balance for the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be reduced to zero for all subsequent Distribution Dates and distributions on the Group I or Group II Notes, respectively, will continue to be made on each succeeding Distribution Date in the manner provided in Section 5.05(c) above, and the provisions of Section 9.01(c) below shall be applicable.

(c)

Auctions of Financed Student Loans. (i) In the event that (x) the Group I or Group II Put Option is exercised and the Put Option Provider defaults on its obligations with respect to the Group I or Group II Put Option Agreement, as the case may be, or (y) the Indenture Trustee is directed to exercise the Group I or Group II Put Option, as the case may be, by a majority in interest the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, respectively, but is unable to comply with such directions due to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) above being applicable, any related Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, remaining in the Trust as of the end of the Collection Period immediately preceding the October 2013 Distribution Date will be offered (and shall be offered again at the end of each or any subsequent Collection Period if so instructed in writing by a majority of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, as the case may be, with respect to the Group I or Group II Student Loans, respectively) for sale by the Indenture Trustee as both a single pool relating to both groups of Financed Student Loans (but only in the event that both groups of Financed Student Loans are affected by sub-clause (x) or (y) above) (a “Single Pool Sale”) and in two separate pools, one relating to each group of Financed Student Loans (but only in the event that such group of Financed Student Loans is affected by sub-clause (x) or (y) above) (a “Two Pool Sale”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Coordination Agreement requires the offering of the Access Loans to PHEAA, XXXX and/or LAI, the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 10.06(a) of this Agreement, separately offer for sale the Financed Student Loans that are Access Loans as one or two separate sub-pools and shall combine the bids received with respect to such sub-pool or sub-pools with the bids received with respect to the other related group or groups of Financed Student Loans in determining whether the related Minimum Purchase Amount requirement has been met.

(ii)

If at least two bids are received, with respect to a Single Pool Sale, the Indenture Trustee will solicit and resolicit bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains for all related Financed Student Loans or until the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids; and, with respect to a Two Pool Sale, if at least two bids are received for either pool of Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee will solicit and resolicit bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains with respect to each such pool of Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, or until the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids.

(iii)

At the conclusion of the bidding process, the Indenture Trustee shall accept the higher of the results produced from a Single Pool Sale or from a combination of two bids from a Two Pool Sale; provided, however, that in either case, no such bid or bids shall be accepted unless such single bid or combination of two bids meets or exceeds the related Minimum Purchase Amount; and provided, further, that with respect to a Two Pool Sale, if the related Minimum Purchase Amount is met or exceeded with respect to either, but not both, of the Group I and Group II Student Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall accept the bid and consummate the sale of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, that at least meets the related Minimum Purchase Amount, and reject the bid and not consummate a sale of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, with respect to the bid that does not at least meet the related Minimum Purchase Amount.

(iv)

In connection with the determination of the related Minimum Purchase Amount, the Indenture Trustee may consult, and, at the direction of a majority in interest of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, as applicable, shall consult, with a financial advisor (which may be the Administrator) to determine if the fair market value of the Financed Student Loans has been offered. The proceeds of any such sale with respect to the Group I or Group II Student Loans will be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.04(b)(X) or (Y), as applicable, of the Indenture. If a sale of either the Group I or Group II Student Loans is not consummated in accordance with the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, (or shall, at the written direction of the Group I or Group II Controlling Noteholders, as applicable), solicit bids to purchase the Group I or Group II Student Loans, as the case may be, on future Distribution Dates upon terms similar to those described above. In addition, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Eligible Lender Trustee and each Rating Agency shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that any such sale of the Financed Student Loans would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(v)

The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicers to) furnish the Record to LAI on behalf of the Trust (or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in the event that the Indenture Trustee becomes the owner of the Financed Student Loans) as required by this Section 10.01. The Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust, shall honor LAI’s reasonable request for additional Records, at LAI’s expense. The Record shall be on a borrower level, by loan, and shall include, but need not be limited to, the information required to be delivered by KBUSA to LAI pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.7 of the 1996-1998 Coordination Agreement. The Master Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the costs and expenses to produce and distribute (or to cause the applicable Sub-Servicers to produce and distribute) the Record are part of the data transfer fee payable to it pursuant to the Servicing Fee Schedule, attached as Schedule E to this Agreement and agrees that no additional fees will be payable by the Trust or the Administrator to produce and deliver the Record.

In addition to the foregoing Record, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that LAI may obtain from the Master Servicer (or the applicable Sub-Servicers) at the sole cost and expense of LAI such additional information as LAI may reasonably request concerning the Financed Student Loans which are Access Loans, including, but not limited to, information on defaults, average principal balance, and complaints. Any such request shall be made in writing to the Administrator, with a copy to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Master Servicer. The Trust shall not be obligated to incur or pay any costs or expenses associated with the production or delivery of such additional information, except that, if the additional information requested by LAI is contained in any monthly or other periodic report produced by the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf) and delivered to the Trust (or to the Administrator on behalf of the Trust) pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust shall provide a copy of such report, or excerpts therefrom, to LAI and the Administrator shall bear all photocopying and postage charges for producing and mailing such copy.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to assume and perform the obligations of the Trust under this Section 10.01 in the event that the Indenture Trustee forecloses upon its security interest in and becomes the owner of the Financed Student Loans.

SECTION 10.02. Cooperation. With regard to the Financed Student Loans which are Access Loans, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Administrator each agree to cooperate with each other, with each applicable Sub-Servicer and LAI, with the other parties to the Coordination Agreements and with each of their internal or external auditors, or governmental examiners, at the expense of the party requesting such cooperation, and to provide any information regarding origination, disbursement, servicing, and data collection relating to such loans as reasonably requested by the other parties, their auditors, or governmental examiners as necessary or desirable for the performance of an audit or examination. In that regard, each party shall make available any necessary supporting records to each other party and shall resolve any discrepancy claimed to exist in such records to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party within 30 days of the date that the other party has claimed that a discrepancy exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that audit reviews conducted during heavy processing periods may disrupt such operations. Accordingly, unless a party has reason to believe that another party is in material breach of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, reviews by internal or external auditors shall only be scheduled during the months of January, February, April, May, June, September, October, November or December.

SECTION 10.03. Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all data, materials and information relating to The Access GroupSM Loan Program and the Financed Student Loans entrusted to it by another party hereto or any party to any of the Coordination Agreements. Each party also agrees not to use such data, materials and information for any purpose other than the limited purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement or the Coordination Agreements. This section shall not be deemed to preclude the disclosure of (i) information relating to the historical performance of the Financed Student Loans (including, but not limited to, statistical information relating to defaults, prepayments, consolidations, deferrals and forbearances) by KBUSA or the Administrator or, with the consent of the Administrator, by the Eligible Lender Trustee or Indenture Trustee, (ii) such information as in any of the Master Servicer’s (or any Sub-Servicer’s acting on behalf of the Master Servicer), Administrator’s, Eligible Lender Trustee’s or Indenture Trustee’s discretion may be required under any of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Administration Agreement to be disclosed to holders of the Notes, (iii) such information as may be required to be disclosed under applicable laws, rules, regulations or governmental orders, (iv) information obtained by the Indenture Trustee in the performance of its obligations as Indenture Trustee, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall maintain the confidentiality of all account level and borrower level information, including without limitation, the borrower’s name, address and social security number and the account balance and account history or (v) disclosure by LAI of information in the Record or other information received by LAI pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.04. Future Purchases. The Trust, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee each hereby agree that, in the event of any sale or other transfer of any Financed Student Loans that are Access Loans to any third party, the Trust, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, as seller, or the Administrator acting on their behalf, (i) shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the purchaser or transferee of such Access Loans an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to LAI pursuant to which such purchaser or transferee agrees to observe and comply with the obligations of the parties to this Agreement under Sections 10.02 and 10.03 hereof and the obligations of the Trust, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, as seller, or the Administrator acting on its behalf, under this clause (i) of Section 10.04 hereof and (ii) shall obtain from any such purchaser or transferee an agreement to provide LAI with prior notice of any future sale of such Access Loans, or portion thereof, acquired by such purchaser or transferee and an agreement to comply with the obligations of the Trust under Section 10.01 and the obligations of the seller under this clause (ii) of Section 10.04 and under the last sentence of Section 10.06(a) of this Agreement (provided, however, that if the purchaser or transferee does not retain the Master Servicer (or the related Sub-Servicer) as servicer, the obligation to deliver “Reports” shall be construed as an obligation to deliver reports containing information substantially similar to the information contained in Reports).

SECTION 10.05. Private Guarantee Fee. Each of the Depositor and KBUSA acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to the Access Loans that are “Privately Guaranteed Loans” (as defined in the 1992, 1993-1995 and 1996-1998 Coordination Agreements) that have not yet entered repayment and are Financed Student Loans, KBUSA retains the obligation, pursuant to Section 9.2 of the 1992, 1993-1995 and 1996-1998 Coordination Agreements, to advance to the borrower an additional private guarantee fee equal to 2% of the original principal amount of any such Privately Guaranteed Loan made to a student since the commencement of the 1992-1993 Law Access® Program through the 1995-1996 Access Group Loan Program, and, commencing with the 1996-1998 Access Group Loan Program a fee of 4% of the original principal amount of each LAL Loan, 3% of each GAL Loan and BEL Loan and 2% for each MAL Loan, DAL Loan and REL Loan (each such term as defined in the 1992, 1993-1995 and 1996-1998 Coordination Agreements). The proceeds of such advances shall be remitted in accordance with the 1992, 1993-1995 and 1996-1998 Coordination Agreements and Assigned Agreements.

SECTION 10.06. Bids/First Refusal Rights. (a) If required pursuant to a Coordination Agreement (and only to the extent required thereunder), in connection with any contemplated sale of any Financed Student Loans pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall notify PHEAA, ASA, LAI and XXXX of any proposed solicitation of bids or offers to purchase the pool of Access Loans offered for sale as part of a Two Pool Sale, such notice to be delivered not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which bids or offers are to be received by the Indenture Trustee. Each of PHEAA, XXXX and LAI shall be given an opportunity to submit a bid or offer to purchase all such Access Loans being offered for sale within such thirty (30) day period and if no other bid exceeds PHEAA’s, TERI’s or LAI’s bid and if PHEAA’s, TERI’s or LAI’s bid, in combination with the highest bid for the other pool of Financed Student Loans being sold, is equal to or in excess of the Minimum Purchase Amount the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall convey such pool of Access Loans offered for sale to whichever of PHEAA, XXXX or XXX, as the case may be, submitted the highest bid. If no combination of bids that are received pursuant to any solicitation process in connection with a Two Pool Sale are equal to or in excess of the Minimum Purchase Amount, the Indenture Trustee will not consummate a sale of such Financed Student Loans. The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall require any purchaser or transferee who acquires Financed Student Loans that are Access Loans to acquire all Financed Student Loans of a borrower owned by the Trust and not in default, except that, with regard thereto, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may sell or transfer to a purchaser or transferee all Financed Federal Loans of a borrower and sell or transfer to a different purchaser or transferee all Financed Guaranteed Private Loans of the same borrower.

(b)

The provisions of this Section 10.06 shall not apply to any sale or other transfer of any Financed Student Loans to the Put Option Provider pursuant to the exercise of the Group I or Group II Put Option, or to KBUSA, the Administrator or the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer acting in its stead) as may be required or permitted under this Agreement or any Guarantor in connection with the enforcement of any applicable Guarantee Agreement. KBUSA acknowledges that if any Financed Student Loan that is an Access Loan is reacquired by it, such Financed Student Loan shall from the time of such reacquisition become subject to the restrictions and requirements on sale or transfer of loans by KBUSA under the applicable Coordination Agreement.

SECTION 10.07. Consolidation Loans. The parties to this Agreement, to the extent applicable, hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of allocating consolidation loans that relate to Access Loans among lenders, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the 1996-1998 Coordination Agreement, Section 8.1 of the 1993-1995 Coordination Agreement, Section 8.1 of the 1992 Coordination Agreement and any similar provision in any similar Coordination Agreement with respect to subsequent academic years, KBUSA, shall be deemed to be the owner of, and lender on, all Financed Student Loans.

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

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 11.02(i)(1). The Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Eligible Lender Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 11.02. Protection of Interests in Trust. (a) The Depositor shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee in the Group I and/or Group II Student Loans, as applicable, and in the proceeds thereof.

(b)

Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall (nor shall the Master Servicer permit a Sub-Servicer or the Custodian to) change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Securities Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed (or cause to be filed) appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each Sub-Servicer and the Custodian to) at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Financed Student Loans (as applicable) and its jurisdiction of organization within the United States of America.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer or Custodian, as applicable, to) maintain accounts and records as to each Financed Student Loan accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Financed Student Loan, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Financed Student Loan and the amounts from time to time deposited in the applicable sub-account of the Collection Account in respect of such Financed Student Loan.

(e)

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause the applicable Sub-Servicer or Custodian, as applicable, to) maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Financed Student Loans, the Master Servicer’s (or the related Sub-Servicer’s or Custodian’s, as applicable) master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Financed Student Loan shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in such Financed Student Loan and that such Financed Student Loan is owned by the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the related group of Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty and the Securities Insurer (with respect to the Group II Student Loans only). Indication of the Issuer’s, the Eligible Lender Trustee’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Financed Student Loan shall be deleted from or modified on the Master Servicer’s (or the related Sub-Servicer’s or Custodian’s, as applicable) computer systems when, and only when, the related Financed Student Loan shall have been paid in full or repurchased.
