REMARKETING AGENCY AGREEMENT

REMARKETING AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of April 15, 2008, (this “Agreement”) by and among SLM Student Loan Trust 2005-7 (the “Trust”), Sallie Mae, Inc., as administrator (the “Administrator”), Banc of America Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (each, a “Lead Remarketing Agent”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “Co-Remarketing Agent” and, collectively with the Lead Remarketing Agents, the “Remarketing Agents”).  The Remarketing Agents, in consultation with the Administrator, hereby establish the terms for the Class A-3 Reset Rate Notes (the “Notes”) described below with respect to the “Reset Date” on April 25, 2008, in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Remarketing Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2005, among the Trust, the Administrator and the Lead Remarketing Agents (the “Lead Remarketing Agreement”), and the Remarketing Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2008, among the Trust, the Administrator and the Co-Remarketing Agent (the “Co-Remarketing Agreement” and together with the Lead Remarketing Agreement, the “Remarketing Agreements”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.  Pursuant to Section 2 of the Co-Remarketing Agreement, the Co-Remarketing Agent was appointed a Remarketing Agent for the Notes, and the Lead Remarketing Agents hereby consent to such appointment.  

The Remarketing Agents will attempt, on a reasonable efforts basis, to remarket the validly tendered Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so tendered.  There is no assurance that the Remarketing Agents will be able to remarket the entire principal amount of Notes tendered in a remarketing.  The Remarketing Agents shall also have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase any tendered Notes at such price.  The option of the Remarketing Agents to purchase tendered Notes from the tendering Noteholders will be subject, without limitation, to the conditions set forth in Section 8 of the Remarketing Agreements.  

Each Remarketing Agent represents and agrees that:

(a) it is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Notes other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or as agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for purposes of their businesses where the issue of the Notes would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”);

(b) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA, received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Trust; and

(c) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

The parties hereto agree that the term “Remarketing Prospectus” as it is used in each of the Remarketing Agreements refers to any “free-writing prospectus” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided to the Remarketing Agents by the Trust for use in connection with the remarketing of the Notes, including for the avoidance of doubt, the Preliminary Remarketing Free-Writing Prospectus for the Notes, dated April 3, 2008.


All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Remarketing Agreements.
