I will pay my Student Fees to Ewan John Chapman and
authorise the Trustee to apply the Student Fees (and any interest) in

repay my Student Fees directlly to that Loan Provider; |
| |

in the event that I withdraw from the course or a Course Closure Event
occurs and the Trustee refunds the balance of my Student Fees directly to
me, the Trustee will refund such Student Fees to me in accordance with the
provisions of the Education Act 1989 and Royal Business Colleges refund
policy, by way of cheque
posted to my last known postal address notified to that Trustee; |

made, the trusts on which the Trustee was holding my Student Fees will have
been discharged; |
| |
|
any interest earned on the Trust Account prior to payments under (a),
(b), (c) or (d) above will vest in and be payable to the PTE for its own
benefit, and I will have no claim to such interest; |
