2 LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. The one-month LIBOR is the Current Index, as published in the "Money Rates" section of the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition). Your variable interest rate and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) may be higher depending upon your credit history and will increase or decrease if the one-month LIBOR index changes. Your variable interest rate is calculated by adding the current one-month LIBOR index (captured on the 25th day of each month, or the next business day thereafter, of the month immediately preceding such calendar month and rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of one percent) to your margin. The current one-month LIBOR index was 0.25% on 2/1/10. This APR example assumes a $10,000 undergraduate, cosigned, loan disbursed over two transactions with a deferment period of 45 months upon initial disbursement and a six month grace period upon graduation, a 25 year repayment term, and a 4.00% margin. Margins can range from 3.50% to 11.25% (depending on whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, if the loan is co-signed, and upon your or your cosigner's credit history).

3 The 0.25% rate reduction is available to borrowers who arrange with their servicer to automatically deduct monthly payments from their personal bank account. Savings programs are effective for all loans disbursed on or after October 13, 2006.

4 The cosigner can be released from liability after the first 48 initial, consecutive principal and interest payments are made on time. Borrowers must meet credit guidelines at the time the cosigner release is requested.
