Underwriter and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of
the Notes, and the Company will timely file such supplement to the prospectus
with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, but the Company will not
file any amendments to the Registration Statement as in effect with respect to
the Notes or any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus, unless it shall
first have delivered copies of such amendments or supplements to the
Underwriter, with reasonable opportunity to comment on such proposed amendment
or supplement or if the Underwriter shall have reasonably objected thereto
promptly after receipt thereof; the Company will immediately advise the
Underwriter or the Underwriter's counsel (i) when notice is received from the
SEC that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become

preventing, or threatening to suspend or prevent, the offer and sale of the
Notes or of any proceedings or examinations that may lead to such an order or
communication, whether by or of the SEC or any authority administering any state
securities or Blue Sky law, as soon as the Company is advised thereof, and will
use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order or communication
and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued. |
|
(b) If, at any time when the Prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be
delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as
then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or
if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply
with the Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Company promptly will notify the
Underwriter of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the SEC, at
its own expense, an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus that will correct
such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance.
Neither the Underwriter's consent to, nor the Underwriter's delivery of, any
such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions
set forth in Section 6 hereof. |
|
(c) The Company will immediately inform the Underwriter (i) of the receipt by
the Company of any communication from the SEC or any state securities authority
concerning the offering or sale of the Notes; and (ii) of the commencement of

supplements to such documents relating to the Notes, in each case in such

connection with the qualification of, or procurement of exemptions with respect
to, the Notes for offering and sale by the Underwriter and by dealers under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may
designate and will file such consents to service of process or other documents
necessary or appropriate in order to effect such qualification or exemptions;
provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action which would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those
arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so subject. |
|
(g) The Company consents to the use, in accordance with the securities or Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions in which the Notes are offered by the Underwriter
and by dealers, of the Prospectus furnished by the Company. |
|
(h) To the extent, if any, that the rating or ratings provided with respect to
the Notes by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate the Notes is
conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions
by the Company, the Company shall cause to be furnished such documents and such
other actions to be taken. |
|
(i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the
Underwriter (i) as soon as available, a copy of each document relating to the
Notes required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any order of the SEC thereunder;
and (ii) such other information concerning the Company as the Underwriter may
request from time to time. |

fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse

their counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection herewith, but without any
further obligation on the part of the Company for loss of profits or otherwise. |
|
(k) The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be applied
substantially in accordance with the description set forth in the Prospectus. |
|
(l) Except as stated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus, the Company has
not taken, nor will it take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or
that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or
manipulation of the price of the Notes to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Notes. |
|
(m) On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall xxxx its accounting and
other records, if any, relating to the Financed Student Loans and shall cause

by FFELP Loans. |
|
(o) If, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, any information
shall have been omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A under the 1933 Act,
then, immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will
prepare, and file or transmit for filing with the Commission in accordance with
such Rule 430A and Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, copies of an amended
Prospectus containing all information so omitted. |
|
(p) As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months after the date of this

earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the
later of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement; (ii) the
effective date of the most recent post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement to become effective prior to the date of this Agreement; and (iii) the
date of the Company's most recent Annual Report or Form 10-K filed with the
Commission prior to the date of this Agreement, which will satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act. |
5. Indemnification and Contribution.
|
(a) College Loan agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each
person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof)
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in
any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and will reimburse the Underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses
are incurred, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted
therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to
the Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company or College Loan by the
Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood that the only such
information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described
as such in Section 10 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
indemnification contained in this paragraph (a) with respect to any preliminary
prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter (or to the benefit
of any person controlling the Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense arising from the sale of the of Notes by the
Underwriter to any person if the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary
prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus and the Underwriter sold Notes
to that person without sending or giving at or prior to the written confirmation
of such sale, a copy of the final Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented
but excluding documents incorporated by reference therein) if the Company has
previously furnished sufficient copies thereof to the Underwriter at a time
reasonably prior to the date such Notes are sold to such person. The foregoing
indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which College Loan or
the Company may otherwise have. |
|
(b) If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against the Underwriter
or any person controlling an Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against College Loan, such Underwriter or such controlling person shall
promptly notify the parties against whom indemnification is being sought (the
"indemnifying parties"), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced
by such omission. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be
counsel to the indemnifying party). The Underwriter or any such controlling
person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit
or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter or such
controlling person unless (i) the indemnifying parties have agreed in writing to
pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying parties have failed to assume
the defense and employ counsel; or (iii) the named parties to any such action,
suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Underwriter or such controlling person and the indemnifying parties and the
Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from or additional to or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying
parties and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the
Underwriter or such controlling person to employ separate counsel (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Underwriter or such controlling
person). It is understood, however, that the indemnifying parties shall, in
connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for the Underwriter and
controlling persons not having actual or potential differing interests with the
Underwriter or among themselves, which firm shall be designated in writing by
the Underwriter, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed on a
monthly basis as provided in paragraph (a) hereof. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding; and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an
indemnified party. |
|
(c) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless College Loan and its
directors and officers, and any person who controls College Loan within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same
extent as the indemnity from College Loan to the Underwriter set forth in
paragraph (a) hereof, but only with respect to information relating to the
Underwriter furnished in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any related preliminary prospectus therein, it being understood that the only
such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information
described as such in Section 10 of this Agreement. If any action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against College Loan, any of its directors or
officers, or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related
preliminary prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against
the Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Underwriter shall have the
rights and duties given to College Loan by paragraph (b) above (except that if
College Loan shall have assumed the defense thereof the Underwriter shall have
the option to assume such defense but shall not be required to do so, but may
employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Underwriter's expense), and
College Loan, its directors and officers, and any such controlling person shall
have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter by paragraph (b) above. The
foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the
Underwriter may otherwise have. |
|
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to an
indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (c) hereof in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by College Loan on
the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the
Notes; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
College Loan on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by College Loan on the one hand and an
Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriter. The relative fault of College Loan on the one hand
and the Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by College Loan or the Company on the one hand or by the
Underwriter on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. |
|
(e) College Loan and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by a pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount
