Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(i)

the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(ii)

each of the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest and other amounts on the Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;

(iii)

to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(iv)

the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreements.

(v)

whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of the Holders of the Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.11. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders of the Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency.

None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as the Noteholders for such Class of Notes.

The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Note Registrar to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders in respect of the Notes.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall establish a segregated trust account (the “Distribution Account”) designated as “Distribution Account – KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2006-A” for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the other persons entitled to distributions therefrom. Such account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account and shall be used for the sole purpose of distributing sums provided to the Paying Agent by or on behalf of the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

On or before the Business Day next preceding each Distribution Date, Special Redemption Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall distribute or cause to be distributed to the Distribution Account (or an eligible successor account designated by the Paying Agent) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under each Class of the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee at the time of such distribution) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent appointed as a replacement Paying Agent after the date of this Indenture to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(ii)

give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to any Class of Notes;

(iii)

at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv)

immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of each applicable Class of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(v)

comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Class of the Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas hereby agrees to the provisions of clauses (i) through (v) above and this Indenture shall constitute the written instrument of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas referred to above. If Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Paying Agent, or is subsequently appointed Paying Agent, it hereby agrees to the provisions of clauses (i) through (v) and no written instrument will be required from it in connection with such appointment.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the holder of such Notes thereof shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English languag e, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to the Holders of the Notes whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such holder of the Notes).

SECTION 3.04. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Indenture Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Master Servicing of Financed Student Loans. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Indenture Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

(b)

The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Master Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c)

The Issuer will enforce all of its rights under this Indenture and the other Basic Documents and will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, (with respect to the Group I Notes only) the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes, and (with respect to the Group II Notes only) the Group II Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group II Notes).

(d)

If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default or an Administrator Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Group I Controlling Noteholders (with respect to Master Servicer Defaults only), the Group II Controlling Noteholders (with respect to the Master Servicer Defaults only) and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default. If a Master Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or an Administrator Default shall arise from the failure of the Administrator to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Administration Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Fi nanced Student Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to enforce its rights under the Basic Documents in respect of such failure.

(e)

As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of a partial or complete termination to the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s rights and powers with respect to either or both of the Group I or Group II Student Loans, or to the Administrator of the Administrator’s rights and powers, pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor master servicer (the “Successor Master Servicer”), or a successor administrator (the “Successor Administrator”), and such Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, ceases to act as Mas ter Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Master Servicer or the Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer, and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new master servicer or a new administrator enters into an agreement with the Issuer as provided below; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require or permit the Indenture Trustee to act as Master Servicer, or otherwise master service Financed Student Loans, in violation of the Higher Education Act. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new master servicer or a new administrator as a Successor Master Servicer or Administrator under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Master Servicer or Administrator, as the case may be, other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established institution (A) that satisfies any requirements of the Higher Education Act applicable to servicers and (B) whose regular business includes the servicing or administration of student loans and (ii) enter into a master servicing agreement or an administration agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the predecessor Master Servicer or the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Administration Agreement applicable to the Administrator. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new master servicer or administrator, as the case may be, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Master Serv icer or Administrator; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor 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. In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing or administration of the Financed Student Loans (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed as provided herein to the Master Servicer’s duties with respect to Financed Student Loans or th e Administrator’s duties with respect to the Issuer and the Financed Student Loans, as the case may be, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, and the servicing or administration of the Financed Student Loans. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Master Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Master Servicer or as Administrator, as the case may be, any one of its affiliates or agents, provided that such appointment shall not affect or alter in any way the liability of the Indenture Trustee as a successor for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Administrator in accordance with the terms hereof .

(f)

Upon any partial or complete termination of the Master Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any termination of the Administrator’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Administrator is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Master Servicer or such Successor Administrator.

(g)

Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, (with respect to amendments affecting the Group I Notes) the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes, and (with respect to amendments affecting the Group II Notes) the Group II Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group II Notes, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral except as provided herein, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, or waive timely performance or observance by the Mast er Servicer, the Administrator, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Eligible Lender Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments with respect to Group I or Group II Student Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Holders of Group I or Group II Notes or (ii) amend the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the related Class or Classes of Notes, which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all outstanding Holders of all Classes of Notes affected by such amendment (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Trust Agreement, such rights of consent granted to the Holders of the Notes contained in clauses (i) and (ii) of this proviso shall not be exercisable by the Group I Controlling Parties on behalf of all of the Group I No teholders or by the Group II Controlling Parties on behalf of all of the Group II Noteholders).

(h)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Servicer is being replaced by a Successor Master Servicer with respect to only one group of Financed Student Loans, pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to recognize KBNA as Master Servicer, and KBNA shall be permitted continue in its role of Master Servicer, with respect to the other group of Student Loans and the foregoing provisions shall only apply to the Successor Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer of one group of Student Loans.

SECTION 3.08. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

(i)

except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or any other Basic Document, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Indenture Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

(iii)

(A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Indenture Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor, and other than as expressly permitted by the Basic Documents) or (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax or other lien) security interest in the Indenture Trust Estate.

(d)

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 6.03. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.04. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Group I or Group II Notes (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable.

SECTION 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders.

The Indenture Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b). A copy of each such report required pursuant to TIA §§ 313(a) or (b) shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders of the Notes, be filed by the Paying Agent on behalf o f the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and with each securities exchange, if any, upon which the Notes are listed, provided that the Issuer has previously notified the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent of such listing.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay, or following an Event of Default and pursuant to Section 3 of the Administration Agreement shall cause the Administrator to pay, to the Indenture Trustee reasonable compensation for its services in accordance with a separate agreement between the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee and shall cause the Administrator to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it as provided in such separate agreement.

The Issuer shall cause the Administrator to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the p erformance of its duties hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. The Issuer shall cause the Administrator to defend the claim and the Administrator shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee after it has assumed such defense; provided, however, that, in the event that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator in conducting the defense of such claim, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to separate counsel the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or i ndemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.

The Holders of Notes of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i)

the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii)

an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee;

(iii)

a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders of the Notes. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee upon payment of all monies due and owing to the retiring Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any holder of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies written notice of any such transaction.

SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(ii)

no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii)

the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.

Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

In any case where notice to Holders of the Notes is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular holder of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, and any notice tha t is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default.

SECTION 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent to such holder of the Group I or Group II Notes, as applicable, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices.

SECTION 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee

By: ________________________________

Authorized Officer

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Floating Rate Class I-A-1 Asset Backed Notes (herein also called the “Class I-A-1 Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes. The Class I-A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. To the extent that any provisions of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent provision herein. Capitalized but undefined terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture dated as of December 1, 2006 between KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 2006-A and Deutsche Bank Tru st Company Americas, as Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and Note Registrar, including Appendix A to the Indenture.

The Class I-A-1 Notes and the Issuer’s Floating Rate Class I-A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class I-A-2 Notes” and together with the Class I-A-1 Notes, the “Group I Class A Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The rights of the Issuer’s Floating Rate Class I-B Asset Backed Notes (the “Class I-B Notes” and together with the Group I Class A Notes, the “Group I Notes”) are and will be subordinated to the rights of the Group I Class A Notes as provided in the Indenture. At the same time, the Issuer will also issue its Class II-A-1 Notes, Class II-A-2 Notes, Class II-A-3 Notes, Class II-A-4 Notes, Class II-B Notes and Class II-C Notes (the “Group II Notes” and together with the Group I Notes, the “Notes”) that will also be secured by other i tems of collateral constituting the Trust Estate.

Principal of the Group I Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date to the extent funds are available therefor set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. “Distribution Date” means the twenty-seventh day of each March, June, September and December, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing March 27, 2007.

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on its Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Group I Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which (i) an Event of Default with respect to the Group I Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Group I Controlling Parties holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the related Classes of Group I Notes shall have declared the Group I Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Group I Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the holders of such Group I Notes entitled thereto.

Interest on the Group I Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date on the principal amount outstanding of each Class of Group I Notes until the principal amount thereof is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate for such Class of Group I Notes.

The “Note Interest Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Period and the Class I-A-1 Notes, the interest rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period divided by 360) equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.00%.

Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Administrator shall determine the Three-Month LIBOR for purposes of calculating the Note Interest Rates for each given Interest Period. “Three-Month LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related LIBOR Determination Date (the “Index Maturity”) which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (or such comparable page on another comparable service), as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 (or such comparable page on another comparable service), the rate for that day will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars, having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000, are offered at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market by the Reference Banks. The Administrator will request the principal London office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Administrator, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Determination Date for loans in the U.S. dollars to leading European banks having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000; provided that if the banks selected as aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest Period will be Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the previous Interest Period. For pur poses of calculating Three-Month LIBOR, a Business Day is any day on which banks in London and New York City are open for the transaction of business. Interest due for any Interest Period will be determined based on the actual number of days in such Interest Period over a 360 day year.

“Reference Bank” means a leading bank (i) engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, (ii) not controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Administrator and (iii) having an established place of business in London.

“LIBOR Determination Date” means, for each Interest Period, the second Business Day before the beginning of that Interest Period. For purposes of this definition, a “Business Day” is any day on which banks in London and New York City are open for the transaction of business.

Any Noteholders’ Interest Carryover Shortfall with respect to the Group I Class A Notes that may exist on any Distribution Date attributable shall be payable to the holders of the Group I Class A Notes, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Noteholders’ Interest Carryover Shortfall then owing on the Group I Class A Notes on that Distribution Date and any succeeding Distribution Dates solely out of the funds available and required to be applied thereto pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register on the Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, unless Definitive Notes have been issued (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment, and the mailing of s uch check shall constitute payment of the amount thereof regardless of whether such check is returned undelivered. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Noteholder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed no later than five days prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Note Interest Rate for this Note to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP (all in accordance with the Exchange Act), an d such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each holder of the Notes or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Eligible Lender Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Depositor, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except tha t any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

It is the intent of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, KeyBank National Association, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, this Note will qualify as indebtedness of the Certificateholder. The Noteholders and the Note Owners, by acceptance of this Note, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Note for such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Certificateholder.

Each holder of the Notes or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such holder of the Notes or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, may treat the Person in whose name this Group I Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this Group I Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes under the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
