This disclosure statement relates to one or more advances on your Loan Note disbursed on SEPTEMBER 12_2002
Because your Loan is either being disbursed in whole or in part, or is entering repayment, or the repayment terms
are being modified, the following tntormatton about your Loan is Demg given to you.
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE FINANCE CHARGE Amount Financed Total of Payments
The cost of your credit as a The dollar amount the credit The amount of credit provided The amount you will have paid after
yearly rate. will cast you. to you or on your behalf, you have made all payments
scheduled.
5.995 % $ 626.72 S 1,750.00 S 2,376.72
Your a ent schedule will be:
Number of Payments Amount of Payments • When Payments are due
072 $ 33.01 On the 14th day of each month be nnin on 12/2004
? VARIABLE RATE The Annual Percentage Rate, which is based on an index plus a margin, may increase during the
term of the loan if the index rate increases. The index is (check one):
® Prime Rate Index Adjusted Monthly - The highest U.S. bank prime rate published in the "Money Rates" section of
The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar month.
? Prime Rate Index Adjusted Quarterly- The highest US. bank prime rate published in the "Money Rates" section of
The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar quarter.
? United States Treasury Bill (T-Bills) Index. The index is the 'Auction Average (Investment) - 3 month" rate most
recently published by the Federal Reserve Board before the first day of the calendar quarter.
? UBOR Index Adjusted Quarterly - The average of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rates published in
the "Money Rates' section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of each of the three (3)
calendar months immediately preceding the first day of each calendar quarter.
Any increase in the index and the Annual Percentage Rate which occurs while principal payments or principal
and interest payments arc deferred will increase the amount of any current and all future payments. Any increase in
the index and the Annual Percentage Rate which occurs after you have begun to make principal and interest
payments on. your loan will increase the number of principal and interest payments you must make, unless the
monthly payment amount is not sufficient to pay the monthly accrued interest and to repay the principal amount of
the loan in full over the maximum repayment period, in which case the monthly payment amount may be increased
to the minimum amount necessary to do so. For example, if your loan were for 510,000 at 11% for seven years, and
the rate increased to 12% in one year after you began making principal and interest payments, you would have to
make three additional payments.
SECURITY: You have given a security interest in all refunds or amounts owed to you at any time by the student's
educational institution. Collateral securing other loans with the Lender may also secure this Loan.
LATE CHARGES: If a payment is more than 15 days late, you may be charged $5.00 or 5% of the payment,
whichever is less. If you default, Lender (or any subsequent holder of your Loan Note) may increase the margin
used to compute the Annual Percentage Rate by two percentage points (2%).
PREPAYMENT: If you pay off early, you will not have to pay a penalty.
See your contract documents for additional information about non-payment, default, any required repayment in full
before the scheduled date, prepayment refunds, any security interest and penalties.

'If your loan is disbursed in multiple advances, the monthly payment amount disclosed in the payment schedule reflects only that monthly payment
necessary to repay this advance. The actual total monthly payment on your Loan will be based on the sum of all advances under your Loan Note and will
be disclosed to you before your Loan enters repayment. Your minimum total monthly payment will be at least S50 ($25 for a Continuing Education
Loan) each month or the entire loan balance, whichever is less.
Estimates: If payments of principal or principal and interest on your Loan arc deferred while the Student is enrolled in school, all numerical disclosures
except the late payment disclosure are estimates.
