This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of Civil No. 08-94-B

Payment is based upon certain financial information which defendant has provided to plaintiff and the defendant's express representation to plaintiff that she is unable to presently pay the amount of indebtedness in full. The plaintiff's consent to

the entry of this Order of Payment also is based upon the further representation of the defendant that she will well and truly honor and comply with the Order of Payment entered in this case which provides terms and conditions for the defendant's payment

of the Judgment, together with accrued interest, in regular monthly installment payments, as follows: (a) Beginning on or before the 15th day of August, 2008, the defendant shall tender to the United States a check or money order, payable to the U.S. Department of Justice, in the amount of $50.00 and shall tender a like sum on or before the 15th day of each month thereafter until the entire amount of the Judgment, together with accrued interest and costs, is paid in full. Defendant will complete a financial statement on or about June 1 of each year and understands that the payment amount may be increased. (b) Defendant shall mail each monthly installment payment to: United States Department of Justice, PO Box 70932, Charlotte, NC 28272. The payment shall contain the USAO No. 2008A30923 in

(d) Defendant shall keep the United States currently informed, in writing, of any material change in her financial situation or ability to pay, and of any change in her employment, place of residence, or telephone number.

such information to the United States Attorney at 53 Pleasant Street, 4th Floor, Concord, NH 03301. 2

subject of this Order of Payment originated from a debt for an educational loan which remains subject to the exception from discharge provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 523. 8. The defendant has the right of prepayment of this debt

without penalty. 9. The parties further agree that any Consent Order of

Payment which may be entered by the Court pursuant hereto may thereafter be modified and amended upon stipulation of the parties; or, should the parties fail to agree upon the terms of a new stipulated Order of Payment, the Court may, after
