In consideration of the Purchase Price, the Seller hereby sells to the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Purchaser the entire right, title and interest of the Seller in the Initial Loans accepted for purchase.

The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee for the benefit of and on behalf of the Purchaser shall be entitled to all Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments on the Initial Loans accrued from and including the related Cutoff Date and shall be responsible for the payment of any rebate fees applicable to the Initial Loans from and including the related Cutoff Date.

In addition, at any time, the Seller may transfer Substituted Loans to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof in satisfaction of any Loan repurchase obligations provided under Section 6.1 hereof. The sale and purcha se or substitution of Additional Trust Student Loans or Substituted Loans, respectively, pursuant to a Subsequent Purchase Agreement shall be consummated as set forth in this Section 3.2.

The substitution of Eligible Loans as Substituted Loans pursuant to a Subsequent Purchase Agreement shall be consummated upon (i) the Purchaser’s receipt from the Seller of a fully executed copy of the related Subsequent Purchase Agreement and (ii) the payment by the Seller of the amount set forth in Section 6.2(c) hereof. Upon consummation, such sale and purchase or substitution shall be effective as of the date of the related Subsequent Bill of Sale. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their best efforts to perform promptly their respective obligations pursuant to the related Subsequent Purchase Agreement with respect to each Additional Trust Student Loan and Substituted Loan.

(c)

Consideration. On the date of the related Subsequent Bill of Sale for an Additional Trust Student Loan, the Purchaser shall pay the Seller the Additional Loans Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Seller. The consideration for the Substituted Loans shall be the transfer from the Purchaser to the Seller of ownership of the Loans being substituted for.

Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments. The Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments shall be made in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Administration Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

REPURCHASE OF TRUST STUDENT LOANS; REIMBURSEMENT; SUBSTITUTION

SECTION 6.1 Repurchase and Reimbursement.

(a)

Each party to this Purchase Agreement shall give notice to the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’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 Purchaser and the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee 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 Seller shall repurchase 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 Seller shall repurchase such Trust Student Loan not later than the 60th day following the end of such 360-day period. On the date of repurchase of any Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Seller 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 repurchase arising out of a breach of the Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants made pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 hereof. In consideration of the repurchase of any such Trust Student Loan pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Seller 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 Seller does not trigger such repurchase 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 Purchaser to repay such interest to a Guarantor), or the actual loss (including any obligation of the Purchaser 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 Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser 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 Seller 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 Seller shall not be required to reimburse the Purchaser for interest that is then capitalized. Such amounts, however, shall be reimbursed if the Borrower subsequently defaults and such capitalized interest is n ot 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 Seller or the Master Servicer (or the Subservicer acting on its behalf) exceeds 1% of the Pool Balance, the Seller shall (but without duplication of the obligations of such Person acting in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents) repurchase (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 Tru stee, such affected Trust Student Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that after such 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 repurchased by the Seller 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 repurchased or purchased, as applicable, first.

SECTION 6.2 Substitution.

(a)

In lieu of repurchasing Trust Student Loans pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the Seller 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 Purchase 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 Seller 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 Purchase Agreement and related Subsequent Bill of Sale regarding such Substituted Loans will be executed and delivered by an Authorized Officer or agent of the applicable parties.

(c)

The Seller shall remit (i) in the event that the Seller 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 Purchaser, the Interim Eligible Lender Trustee and the Noteholders or any other party to the Transaction Documents with respect to a breach by the Seller pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 hereof is set forth in Section 11.1 hereof. The Interim Eligible Lender Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Trust Student Loan or the reimbursement for any interest penalty pursuant to this Article VI.

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