<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT size=2><STRONG><FONT size=4>OGSLP Operational
Impacts of NSLDS Access Suspension</FONT></STRONG><BR>On April 17, 2007, Susan
Szabo, of the United States Department of Education Office of Federal Student
Aid made an <A
href="http://www.ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/0417NSLDSAccess.html">announcement</A>
regarding the temporary suspension of access to the National Student Loan Data
System (NSLDS) by all participants in the student loan program, except students,
borrowers and institutions of higher education. This access suspension
includes but is not limited to lenders, servicers, and guarantors.
</FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size=2>We do not anticipate this action to prohibit OGSLP from
submitting our monthly data to NSLDS. We do realize that some of our
business operations will be impacted until access can be restored. Today
the <EM>NCHELP Daily Briefing,</EM>contained an overview of the impact of this
temporary suspension. Listed below are some highlights from NCHELP's
impact compilation:</FONT></P><FONT size=2>
