                                            GENERAL

1.      General Information

        (a)    The applicant, SLM International, Inc. ("SLM"), is a corporation.

        (b)    SLM was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.      Securities Act Exemption Applicable

        In connection with various transactions (the "Transactions")
contemplated by the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (as Modified) of SLM and
its Subsidiaries (the "Reorganization Plan"), certain creditors (the "Lenders")
holding claims against SLM and its subsidiaries will receive the following
consideration on account of their claims : (i) Available Cash (as defined in the
Reorganization Plan); (ii) 14% Senior Secured Notes due April 1, 2004 (the
"Senior Secured Notes") to be issued by SLM under the Indenture to be qualified
hereby in the amount of $73,973,000 less Available Cash; and (iii) 2,470,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of SLM
that will be issued under the Reorganization Plan. The Lenders have agreed to
sell such shares of Common Stock to Wellspring Associates L.L.C. ("Wellspring")
on a "when issued" basis. The terms of the above exchange are contained in the
Reorganization Plan. No Senior Secured Notes will be issued before the effective
date of this application for qualification.

        Since the Senior Secured Notes are being offered in exchange for claims
against SLM and its subsidiaries, the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes to
the Lenders is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code,
11 U.S.C. ss. 1145. No Lender has purchased a claim against SLM with the purpose
of distributing the Senior Secured Notes to be received in exchange for such
claim. No Lender has offered to sell the Senior Secured Notes that will be
received by other Lenders. No Lender has offered to buy the Senior Secured Notes
with a view to distribution of such securities or under an agreement made in
connection with the Reorganization Plan, with the consummation of the
Reorganization Plan or with the offer or sale of such securities under the
Reorganization Plan.

                              INDENTURE SECURITIES

8.      Analysis of Indenture Provisions

        The Senior Secured Notes will be issued under an Indenture (the
"Indenture") between SLM and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee").
The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Indenture to
be qualified, and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the form of the Indenture to be qualified, filed as an exhibit hereto. Terms
used herein without definition have the same meanings as in the Indenture.

        (a)    Events of Default; Withholding of Notices.

        The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, either the Trustee, by notice to SLM, or the holders of at
least 51% in principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes then outstanding (the
"Requisite Holders"), by notice to SLM, may declare the principal of and accrued
interest on all such Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately;
provided, however, that if any and all defaults (other than the nonpayment of
principal of and interest on Senior Secured Notes which shall have become due
solely by acceleration) shall have been remedied, the Requisite Holders may
rescind such declaration of default and annul its consequences. (Section 502).

        The Indenture provides that no holder of Senior Secured Notes, as such,
may institute any action against SLM under the Indenture (except actions for
payment of overdue principal or interest on the Senior Secured Notes) unless (i)
such holder has given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of
Default, (ii) the Requisite Holders have made written request to the Trustee to
institute such action in respect of such Event of Default, (iii) such holder has
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iv) the Trustee
shall not have instituted such action within 15 days of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 15-day period by the Requisite
Holders. (Section 507).

        Events of Default are defined in the Indenture as being in default for 3
days in payment of any interest installment or failure to make payment when due
of the principal of the Senior Secured Notes; the failure to perform or observe
any other covenant, obligation or agreement in the Indenture or any Collateral
Documents (subject to grace periods in certain circumstances);



                                              8



<PAGE>



the failure of SLM or any subsidiary to pay when due or any default in the
payment of any principal or interest on other indebtedness in the principal
amount of $100,000 or more or any breach or default with respect to any other
indebtedness in the principal amount of $100,000 or more, if such breach or
default is not waived within 5 days after the occurrence thereof; any money
judgment, writ or warrant of attachment in an amount in excess of $100,000 not
adequately covered by insurance being entered or filed against SLM, any
subsidiary or any of their respective assets; any order, judgment or decree
entered against SLM or any subsidiary decreeing the dissolution or split-up of
SLM or its subsidiary; certain events relating to the termination of any pension
plan maintained by SLM or certain affiliates; the withdrawal of SLM or certain
affiliates under an ERISA multiemployer plan; the revocation of the Indenture or
Senior Secured Notes by SLM or any Guaranty by a Guarantor; the material
restriction of the protection or security afforded the Trustee by SLM and the
Guarantors; SLM contesting the validity of, or its obligations under, the
Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes or the Collateral Documents; any Guarantor
contesting the validity of, or its obligations under, its Guaranty or the
Collateral Documents and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and
reorganization. (Section 501).

        The Indenture provides that the Trustee shall, within five Business Days
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, give to the holders of the Senior
Secured Notes notice of such default. (Section 602).

        The Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee, subject to the
duty of the Trustee during default, to use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use, to be indemnified by SLM
against any loss or liability incurred without negligence or bad faith.
(Sections 601 and 607).

        (b)    Authentication and Delivery of Senior
               Secured Notes; Application of Proceeds.

        The Senior Secured Notes shall be executed on behalf of SLM by an
Authorized Officer. Signatures of officers of SLM may be manual or by facsimile.
A Senior Secured Note shall not be valid until authenticated by a manual
signature of an Authorized Officer. (Section 303).

        The Senior Secured Notes along with cash payments are being offered in
exchange for the Lender's claims against SLM and its subsidiaries. No cash
proceeds will be received by SLM in connection with the exchange.

        (c)    Release or Substitution of Property.

        Collateral may be released from the lien and security interest created
by the Collateral Documents to the Indenture: (i) upon payment in full of the
Senior Secured Notes and all other related obligations of SLM and the
Guarantors; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of collateral constituting
an Asset Sale if such sale or other disposition is not prohibited under the
Indenture



                                              9


<PAGE>



and if the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sale are applied in accordance with this
Indenture; (iii) upon the sale or other disposition of such collateral not
constituting an Asset Sale pursuant to the terms of the Indenture; (iv) upon the
substitution or replacement of such collateral with new collateral, provided
that SLM grants to the Trustee a security interest and lien in such new
collateral and executes all Collateral Documents necessary to perfect such
security interest and lien; and (v) to the extent a lien is granted on such
collateral and the Purchase Money Indebtedness secured thereby constitutes not
less than 75% of the purchase price of the property subject to such lien. Upon
compliance with the required provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee shall
execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of
termination, satisfaction or release provided by or on behalf of SLM to evidence
the release of any collateral permitted to be released pursuant to the Indenture
or the Collateral Documents. (Section 1103).

        Except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time
when a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the maturity of the Senior Secured Notes shall have been
accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee shall have
delivered a notice of acceleration to SLM, no release of collateral pursuant
hereto shall be effective as against the Trustee or the Holders. (Section 1103).

        (d)    Satisfaction and Discharge of the Senior Secured Notes.

        All Senior Secured Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and shall
be promptly canceled by it. SLM may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Senior Secured Notes previously authenticated and delivered which the Company
may have acquired and all Senior Secured Notes so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Senior Secured Notes shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Senior Secured Notes canceled, except as expressly
permitted by the Indenture. (Section 308).
