8. Student Loan Securitization (Continued)
Key economic assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Residual Interests at the date of
securitization resulting from the student loan securitization sale transactions completed during the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Effective December 31, 2006, the Company implemented Constant Prepayment Rates (“CPR”) curves for Residual Interest valuations
that are based on the number of months since entering repayment that better reflect the CPR as the loan seasons. Under this methodol-
ogy, a different CPR is applied to each year of a loan’s seasoning. Previously, the Company applied a CPR that was based on a static
life of loan assumption, irrespective of seasoning or, in the case of FFELP Stafford and PLUS loans, the Company used a vector
approach in applying the CPR. The repayment status CPR used is based on the number of months since first entering repayment (sea-
soning). Life of loan CPR is related to repayment status only and does not include the impact of the loan while in interim status. The
CPR assumption used for all periods includes the impact of projected defaults.
*
CPR of 20 percent for 2006, 15 percent for 2007, and 10 percent thereafter.
