2.8(a)(ix), 2.9(g) and 2.9(h)

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee.

Concurrently with the transfer of the Trust Student Loans to the Issuer pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Issuer, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor signed by an Authorized Officer, without further action by the Depositor. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  Each Certificate shall be dated the date of the authentication.  No further Certificate shall be issued except pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or (d) hereof.

(c)

Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.3(f) hereof, the Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.3(f) hereof, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.  At the option of the applicable Certificateholder, a Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates in authorized Percentage Interests and denominations of a like aggregate amount  upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.3(f) hereof.

A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature (other than for transfers or exchanges to or among any Affiliates of the Depositor) guaranteed by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange or a commercial bank or trust company.  A Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of such Certificate.

The preceding provisions of this Section 3.3 notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to make and the Certificate Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of the Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding any Quarterly Payment Date with respect to such Certificate.

No Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) may be acquired by or for the account of (i) any Benefit Plan subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, (ii) any Benefit Plan subject to a substantially similar federal, State, local or foreign law, (iii) any Person who is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, or (iv) any “pass-thru entity” referred to in Section 1(h)(10)(D), (E) or (F) of the Code, the income of which pass-thru entity is includible directly or indirectly through one or more other such pass-thru entities by any Person referred to in clause (iii) above.  By accepting and holding a Certificate, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not acquiring such Certificate by or for the account of any entity in violation of the above restrictions, and to have agreed that if such restrictions are violated, the holder will promptly dispose of such Certificate.

(d)

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  If (i) a mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of a Certificate and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Issuer harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor.  In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.3(d), the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.  Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.  

(e)

Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of either of them may treat the Person in whose name such Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent thereof shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

(f)

Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in Jacksonville, Florida, an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates may be served.  The Florida office of the Certificate Registrar is located at 10161 Centurion Parkway, Jacksonville, Florida 32256.

(g)

Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent.  The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders of the amounts received from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Sections

2.8(a)(ix), 2.9(g) and 2.9(h)

of the Administration Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable, and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Indenture Trustee (if the Certificate Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee).  The Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to receive such funds from the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above.  The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.  The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be the Owner Trustee and any co-certificate paying agent chosen by the Owner Trustee and consented to by the Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  The Owner Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator.  In the event that the Owner Trustee shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).  The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of such Certificateholder until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder.  The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of the Certificate Paying Agent the Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee.  The provisions of Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8.1 and 8.3 hereof shall apply to any Certificate Paying Agent as if such Certificate Paying Agent were the Owner Trustee.  Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-certificate paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.  In the event The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. is no longer the Owner Trustee, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. shall also resign as Certificate Paying Agent.

(h)

Restrictions on Transfer of the Certificates.  

(i)

The Certificates may be transferred to any Affiliate of the Depositor that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or to an entity that is disregarded as separate from such Affiliate under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3, without any requirement to provide any Officers’ Certificates/written certifications or Opinions of Counsel that would otherwise be required if such proposed transfer was being made to a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Depositor.

(ii)

No Certificate shall be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned except as provided by clause (i) above or as provided below:

(A)

The Certificates have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any State securities law.  No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable State securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification.  In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, in order to assure compliance with such laws, the prospective transferor and transferee shall deliver to the 

Owner





Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, (i) written certifications substantially in the forms of

Exhibit

 C

hereto

and

 Exhibit

 D-1 or D-2 hereto,

as applicable, or (ii)

at the expense of the transferor, an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and such State securities laws; provided, that nothing herein shall require JPMorgan Chase Bank to furnish such written certifications or Opinion of Counsel with respect to the initial issuance of the Certificates.  None of the Depositor, the Administrator or the

Owner

Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the Securities Act or any State securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the

Owner

Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable laws.

(B)

No transfer of any Certificate will be registered by the 

Owner

Trustee or the Certificate Registrar unless the

Owner

 Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, receive (i) a written certification from the proposed transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or D-2, as the case may be, or (ii) at the expense of the transferor, an Opinion of Counsel opining that such transferee is not acquiring such Certificate by or for the account of any Person in violation of the restrictions set forth in the final paragraph of Section 3.3(c) hereof; provided, that nothing herein shall require JPMorgan Chase Bank to furnish such written certifications or Opinion of Counsel with respect to the initial issuance of the Certificates.  If any proposed transferee shall become a Certificateholder in violation of these provisions, then the last preceding permitted transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Certificateholder, retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of the applicable Certificate.  Neither the

Owner

Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Certificate that is not permitted or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any action with respect to such holder under this Agreement. Any proposed transferee who becomes a Certificateholder shall agree to indemnify the

 Owner

 Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, against any loss, damage or penalty incurred as a result of the transfer of the applicable Certificate to such proposed transferee in violation of such restrictions.

(C)

The prospective transferee shall be aware that each Certificate shall bear legends referring to the restrictions contained in sub-clauses (A) and (B) above and by its acceptance of the applicable Certificate agrees to abide by such restrictions.

(D)

The prospective transferee shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, to the effect that, (1) as a matter of federal income tax law, such prospective transferee is permitted to accept the transfer of the applicable Certificate, (2) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the tax treatment of the Issuer, (3) such transfer or pledge would not subject the Issuer to any entity-level tax, (4) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the status of the Notes as debt for all purposes and (5) such pledge or transfer would not cause the Issuer to be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

(iii)

Each Certificateholder, as evidenced by its agreement to accept the rights conferred under its Certificate, is hereby deemed to accept all obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement.

 Certificateholders may, by written instruction, direct the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in the management of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel in writing, that such action is likely to result in personal liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Transaction Document or is contrary to law.

(b)

In the event that (i) the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, (A) is unable to decide between alternative courses of actions permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (B) is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or if any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision or (ii) this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, then, in each such case, the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting written instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person.

 

If the Owner Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the Administrator) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof to proceed with such action.

(ii)

no trustee under this Agreement shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(iii)

the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, acting jointly, may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then co-trustees and separate trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any co-trustee or separate trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X.  Each co-trustee and separate trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee.  Each such instrument of appointment shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

 (This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of their respective affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association is the registered owner of a 100% Percentage Interest in this Certificate.  Chase Education Loan Trust 2007-A (the “Issuer”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware by Collegiate Funding of Delaware, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”).  The Issuer was created pursuant to a short-form trust agreement, dated as of May 2, 2007, among the Depositor, The Bank of New York (Delaware), a Delaware banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as Delaware trustee on behalf of the Issuer (the “Delaware Trustee”),  and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee on behalf of the Issuer (the “Owner Trustee”), as amended and restated pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2007 (and together with the short-form trust agreement, the “Trust Agreement”), among the Depositor, the Delaware Trustee and the Owner Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below.  To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

Issued under the Indenture, dated as of July 2, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as eligible lender trustee (the “Eligible Lender Trustee”) are Notes designated as “Student Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2007-A” (the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such holder is bound.  The property of the Issuer includes a pool of student loans (the “Trust Student Loans”), all moneys paid thereunder on or after the related Cutoff Date (other than Interest Subsidy Payments and Special Allowance Payments accrued prior to the related Cutoff Date), certain bank accounts, certain other rights under the Trust Agreement, the Transfer Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Master Servicing Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing.

To the extent of funds available therefor, amounts owing hereon will be distributed on the 28th day of each of March, June, September and December (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day) (each a “Quarterly Payment Date”), commencing September 28, 2007, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Quarterly Payment Date (such day the “Record Date”), in each case to the extent of such holder’s fractional and undivided interest in the amount to be distributed hereon on such Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to Sections 2.8(a)(ix), 2.9(g) and 2.9(h) of the Administration Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable.

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Transaction Documents.

It is the intent of the Depositor, and the holder of this Certificate that, for purposes of federal, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, (a) the Notes will be treated as newly-issued debt of the Issuer, (b) the holder of this Certificate will be treated as owning all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities (albeit on a non-recourse basis), of the Issuer and (c) such holder will be attributed all of the income, deductions, credits and other tax attributes of the Issuer.  The holder of this Certificate agrees to report all relevant items on its tax return consistent with, and to take no action inconsistent with, the intended treatment indicated in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes.

In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Trust Student Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Administration Agreement.  A copy of each of the Trust Agreement, the Transfer Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Master Servicing Agreement and the Indenture may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Administrator, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Administrator, by the holder of this Certificate upon request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the certification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Certificateholders and the parties thereto with the consent of Noteholders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class.  The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Noteholders.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Certificate Registrar, or by any successor Certificate Registrar, in Jacksonville, Florida, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Certificate will be issued to the designated transferee.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for a new Certificate as requested by the holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

This Certificate (including any beneficial interest herein) may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), whether or not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), whether or not subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity,  (iv) any Person who is not a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, or (v) any Person that is a grantor trust, partnership or S-corporation for United States federal tax purposes (each of clauses (iv) and (v), a “Non-U.S. Person”).  By accepting and holding this Certificate, the holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not acquiring this Certificate by or for the account of any entity in violation of the above restrictions, and to have agreed that if such restrictions are violated, the holder will promptly dispose of this Certificate.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Issuer created thereby terminate and shall be of no further force or effect upon (i) the final distribution by the Certificate Paying Agent of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Administration Agreement and Article V of the Trust Agreement and (ii) the filing of the certificate of cancellation by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the Trust Agreement.
