The substitution of Eligible Loans as Substituted Loans pursuant to a Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall be consummated upon (i) the Transferee’s receipt from the Transferor of a fully executed copy of the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement and (ii) the payment by the Transferor of the amount set forth in Section 6.2(c) hereof.

The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Transferor have caused, or will have caused within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Loans granted or otherwise transferred to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee hereunder;

(o)

Except for Student Loan Notes executed electronically, there is only one original executed copy of the Student Loan Note evidencing each Loan. For Student Loan Notes that were executed electronically, the Master Servicer, directly or through subservicers (or, if applicable, third-party sub-custodians), has possession of the electronic records evidencing the Student Loan Note. The Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee has in its possession a copy of the endorsement and Loan Transmittal Summary Form identifying the Student Loan Notes that constitute or evidence the Loans. The Student Loan Notes that constitute or evidence the 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 for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Transferor in favor of the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee in connection herewith describing the Loans 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 Eligible Lender Trustee”; and

(p)

Other than the security interest granted to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee pursuant to this Transfer Agreement, the Transferor and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee have not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Loans. The Transferor and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee have not authorized the filing of and are not aware of any financing statements against the Transferor or the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee that include a description of collateral covering the Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Transferee hereunder or any other security interest that has been terminated. The Transferor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Transferor.

SECTION 5.3

Representations and Warranties of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee. Each of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee represents and warrants, with respect to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee, respectively, that as of the date of this Transfer Agreement, each Subsequent Transfer Agreement and each Xxxx of Transfer, as applicable:

(a)

Each of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of its respective governing jurisdiction and each has an office located within the State of New York. Each of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Transfer Agreement, each Subsequent Transfer Agreement and each Xxxx of Transfer;

(b)

Each of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Transfer Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, and this Transfer Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its respective Authorized Officers or agents who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Transfer Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement on its behalf;

(c)

Neither the execution nor the delivery by the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee of this Transfer Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, nor the consummation by each of them of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by each of them with any of the terms or provisions hereof or thereof will contravene any federal or New York state law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee or Eligible Lender Trustee, respectively, or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its respective charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which each of them is a party or by which any of its respective properties may be bound; and

(d)

Each of the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Eligible Lender Trustee is an “eligible lender” as such term is defined in Section 435(d) of the Higher Education Act, for purposes of holding legal title to the Trust Student Loans as contemplated by this Transfer Agreement, each Subsequent Transfer Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, has a lender identification number with respect to the Loans from the Department and has in effect a Guarantee Agreement with each of the Guarantors with respect to the Loans.

SECTION 5.4

Covenant of the Transferor. The Transferor covenants to the Transferee with respect to the Loans that the Transferor will not, and will cause the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee not to, agree to release any Guarantor from any of its contractual obligations as a guarantor of such Loan or agree otherwise to alter, amend or renegotiate any material term or condition under which such Loan is guaranteed, except as required by law or rules and regulations issued pursuant to law, without the express prior written consent of the Transferee.

ARTICLE VI

REPURCHASE OR REACQUISITION OF TRUST STUDENT LOANS; REIMBURSEMENT; SUBSTITUTION

SECTION 6.1

Repurchase or Reacquisition and Reimbursement.

(a)

Each party to this Transfer Agreement shall give notice to the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Transferor’s representations, warranties and covenants made pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 hereof which has a material adverse effect on the interest of the Transferee or its successors and assigns (including the Indenture Trustee) in the guarantee of any Trust Student Loan. In the event any such material breach is not curable by reinstatement of the applicable Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, the Transferor shall reacquire or repurchase, as applicable, any affected Trust Student Loan not later than 210 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach or the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan. In the event any such material breach is curable by reinstatement of the Guarantor’s guarantee of such Trust Student Loan, unless the material breach shall have been cured within 360 days following the earlier of the date of discovery of such material breach and the date of receipt of the Guarantor reject transmittal form with respect to such Trust Student Loan, the Transferor shall reacquire or repurchase, as applicable, such Trust Student Loan not later than the 60^th day following the end of such 360-day period. On the date of reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, of any Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Transferor shall also remit as provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement an amount equal to all non-guaranteed accrued interest amounts (including, without limitation, Interest Subsidy Payments) and forfeited Special Allowance Payments with respect to such Trust Student Loan up to the date of reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, arising out of a breach of the Transferor’s representations, warranties and covenants made pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 hereof. In consideration of the reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, of any such Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Transferor shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.

(b)

In addition (but without duplication of the obligations of such Person acting in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents), if any breach of Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.4 hereof by the Transferor does not trigger such reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, obligation but does result in the refusal by a Guarantor to pay on a claim under a guarantee all or a portion of the accrued interest (or any obligation of the Transferee to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the actual loss (including any obligation of the Transferee to repay the Department) of Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments (but without duplication of any amounts included within the accrued interest calculation), with respect to any Trust Student Loan affected by such breach, then the Transferor shall reimburse the Transferee by remitting an amount equal to the sum of all such non-guaranteed interest amounts (including, without limitation, Interest Subsidy Payments) and such forfeited Special Allowance Payments in the manner specified in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement not later than (i) the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than 60 days from the date of the Guarantor’s refusal to guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments, or (ii) in the case where the Transferor reasonably believes such losses are likely to be collected, not later than the last day of the next Collection Period ending not less than 360 days from the date of the Guarantor’s refusal to pay on a claim under a guarantee all or a portion of accrued interest or loss of Interest Subsidy Payments or Special Allowance Payments. At the time such payment is made, the Transferor shall not be required to reimburse the Transferee for interest that is then capitalized. Such amounts, however, shall be reimbursed if the Borrower subsequently defaults and such capitalized interest is not paid by the Guarantor.

(c)

Anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, if as of the last Business Day of any month, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Trust Student Loans with respect to which claims have been filed with the applicable Guarantor and such Guarantor has refused to pay such claim or with respect to which the Master Servicer (or the Subservicer) determines that claims cannot be filed pursuant to the Higher Education Act as a result of a breach of a provision thereof by the Transferor or the Master Servicer (or the Subservicer acting on its behalf) exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, the Transferor shall (but without duplication of the obligations of such Person acting in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents) reacquire or repurchase, as applicable (or the Master Servicer as provided in the Master Servicing Agreement shall purchase), within 30 days of a written request of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, such affected Trust Student Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that after such reacquisition, repurchase or purchase, as applicable, the aggregate principal amount of any remaining affected Trust Student Loans is less than 1% of the Pool Balance. The Trust Student Loans to be reacquired or repurchased, as applicable, by the Transferor or purchased by the Master Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be based on the date of claim rejection (or the date of notice referred to in the first sentence of Section 6.1(a) hereof), with Trust Student Loans with the earliest of such date to be reacquired, repurchased or purchased, as applicable, first.

SECTION 6.2

Substitution.

(a)

In lieu of reacquiring or repurchasing, as applicable, Trust Student Loans pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the Transferor may, at its option, substitute Eligible Loans or arrange for the substitution of Eligible Loans which are substantially similar on an aggregate basis as of the date of substitution to the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted with respect to the following characteristics:

(i)

principal balance;

(ii)

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

(iii)

program type (i.e., Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans or Subsidized Consolidation Loans (pre-1993 vs. post-1993));

(iv)

school type (if available);

(v)

interest rate; and

(vi)

remaining term to maturity; provided that, none of the Substituted Loans shall have a maturity date later than six months prior to the Class B Maturity Date.

(b)

In addition, each Substituted Loan will comply, as of the related Transfer Date or as of the date otherwise noted, with all of the representations and warranties pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. In choosing Eligible Loans to be substituted pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Transferor shall make a reasonable determination that the Eligible Loans to be substituted will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders. In connection with each substitution, the Subsequent Transfer Agreement and related Subsequent Xxxx of Transfer regarding such Substituted Loans will be executed and delivered by an Authorized Officer or agent of the applicable parties.

(c)

The Transferor shall remit (i) in the event that the Transferor elects to substitute Eligible Loans pursuant to this Section 6.2, the amount of any shortfall between the Purchase Amount of the Substituted Loans and the Purchase Amount of the Trust Student Loans for which they are being substituted and (ii) an amount equal to all non-guaranteed accrued interest amounts (including, without limitation, Interest Subsidy Payments) and forfeited Special Allowance Payments with respect to the Trust Student Loans, in each case in the manner provided in Section 2.6 of the Administration Agreement.

SECTION 6.3

Remedy. The sole remedy of the Transferee, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Noteholders or any other party to the Transaction Documents with respect to a breach by the Transferor pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 hereof is set forth in Section 11.1 hereof. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, of any Trust Student Loan or the reimbursement for any interest penalty pursuant to this Article VI.

Further, the Transferor agrees to execute any financing statements at the reasonable request of the Transferee and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Transferee in order to reflect the Transferee’s interest in the Loans.

The Transferor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Transfer Agreement or any Subsequent Transfer Agreement, and that in its opinion may impose upon it any expense or liability.

(b)

This Transfer Agreement, any Subsequent Transfer Agreement, any Xxxx of Transfer and any document or instrument delivered in accordance herewith or therewith may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions herein or in any Subsequent Transfer Agreement, any Xxxx of Transfer or any document or instrument delivered in accordance herewith or therewith or modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with the consent of Noteholders of at least a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class to the extent such amendment affects the Noteholders and/or the consent of Certificateholders of at least a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Certificates to the extent such amendment affects the Certificateholders, in either case with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that no amendment shall:
