The above-listed conditions precedent having been satisfied, the Master Servicer caused the Trust to execute an exchange of Financed Student Loans of Arizona-based borrowers for Student Loans owned by Education Lending Group, Inc.

ELG sold the Financed Student Loans to the Arizona Higher Education Loan Authority in connection with a strategic alliance between the parties.
