_______________
(A) With respect to the private
education loans as of March 31,
2015, the amount included $9.5
million classified as current,
and $76.5 million classified as
non-current. With respect to
the private education loans as
of March 31, 2014, the amount
included $7.7 million
classified as current, and
$75.6 million classified as
non-current.
(B) With respect to the company's
Financing Agreement as of March
31, 2015, the amount included
$12.1 million classified as
current, and $82.2 million
classified as non-current.
With respect to the company's
Credit Agreement as of March
31, 2014, the full $50.0
million was classified as
current.
(C) With respect to the PEAKS Trust
Senior Debt as of March 31,
2015, the amount included $26.5
million classified as current,
and $35.6 million classified as
non-current. With respect to
the PEAKS Trust Senior Debt as
of March 31, 2014, the amount
included $130.7 million
classified as current, and
$58.8 million classified as

(D) As of March 31, 2015, this
amount represented the CUSO
secured borrowing obligation
recorded on the company's
balance sheet, $21.0 million of
which was classified as current
and $96.2 million of which was
classified as non-current. As
of March 31, 2014, this amount
represented the contingent
liability amount recorded on
the company's balance sheet
related to the company's
guarantee obligations under the
CUSO risk sharing agreement.
Beginning on September 30,
2014, the CUSO was consolidated
in the company's consolidated
financial statements, resulting
in the elimination of the
contingent liability accrual
related to the CUSO risk
sharing agreement that the
company had previously
recorded, and resulting in the
company instead recording the
estimated amount of the CUSO's
obligations to its owners
related to their participation
interests in the private
education loans made under the
CUSO program.
The company also reported that, based on the current status of its efforts to complete the 2014 compliance audits of its institutions' administration of the Title IV programs in which they participate, the company believes that the 2014 compliance audits should be completed prior to the U.S. Department of Education's June 30, 2015 deadline.
Based on various assumptions, including the historical and projected performance and collection of the PEAKS Trust student loans, the company reported that its current estimated payments under the PEAKS guarantee are approximately:
-- $30.0 million in 2015;
-- $4.2 million in 2016; and
-- $14.8 million in 2020.
Based on various assumptions, including the historical and projected performance and collections of the CUSO student loans, the company reported estimates for the regular payments and discharge payments to the CUSO under the CUSO risk sharing agreement (the "CUSO RSA") and for the amount of recoveries from charged-off loans that the company expects to be paid to it by the CUSO (or that the company may utilize to offset a portion of the amounts of regular payments or discharge payments owed by the company) of approximately:

_________________________
(1) Regular payments constitute the company's
obligation under the CUSO RSA to make monthly
payments due and unpaid on the CUSO student
loans that have been charged off above a
certain percentage.
(2) Discharge payments constitute the payments
that the company may elect to make under the
CUSO RSA by accelerating the timing of
certain guarantee payments under the CUSO RSA
that the company would otherwise be required
to make at a later date, in order to
discharge its guarantee obligations under the
CUSO RSA related to certain CUSO student
loans that default.
(3) Includes $2.3 million of Regular Payments made
during the three months ended March 31, 2015,
which is net of $290,000 of recoveries from
charged-off loans owed to the company that
it offset against amounts owed by it under
the CUSO RSA. This amount assumes that,
pursuant to the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO
RSA entered into on June 8, 2015, the
company elects to defer to 2016 all
additional CUSO RSA payments that otherwise
would have become due in 2015 after June 8,
2015, which the company estimates will be
approximately $6.5 million.
(4) Includes (a) the Discharge Payment of $2.7
million that the company made on March 19,
2015 pursuant to the terms of the Fifth
Amendment to the CUSO RSA, and (b) the
Discharge Payment of $6.5 million that the
company made on June 10, 2015 pursuant to the
terms of the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA.
(5) Includes $290,000 of recoveries from charged-
off loans owed to the company that it offset
against amounts owed by it under the CUSO RSA
in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
(6) This amount assumes that, pursuant to the
Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA, the company
elects to defer to 2016 all additional CUSO
RSA payments that otherwise would have become
due in 2015 after June 8, 2015, which the
company estimates will be approximately $6.5
million.
The company reported that it believes that the vast majority of the $72.3 million of estimated payments projected to be paid related to the CUSO RSA after 2017 will be made in 2018. The estimated future payment amounts and timing related to the CUSO RSA assume, among other factors, that the company does not make any Discharge Payments in 2015, 2016 or 2017 (other than the Discharge Payments made in March 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amendment to the CUSO RSA and in June 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA) and does make Discharge Payments to the fullest extent possible in 2018 and later years. If the company does not make the Discharge Payments as assumed in 2018 and later years, the company estimates that it would make approximately $93.8 million of Regular Payments in 2018 through approximately 2026. Of this amount, approximately $18.6 million to $20.0 million would be paid annually in each of 2018 through 2021, and approximately $16.2 million in the aggregate, would be paid in 2022 through 2026.
