Other Events Year 2000. With the approach of the Year 2000, Advanta Business Services ("ABS") as Originator and Servicer is actively managing the Year 2000 issue. This issue results from computer programs, which use two digits, rather than four digits to define a year. ABS has instituted a corporate-wide effort to address and resolve the system/application tasks associated with Year 2000. In the event that the project plans are not timely or successfully completed, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 Issue will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Originator and Servicer, including a shut-down of operations for a period of time, which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Offered Notes. ABS is also in the process of reviewing their exposure to Year 2000 issues resulting from third party vendors and brokers from whom we purchase equipment leases, and outside service provider's computer systems. ABS, and it's parent Advanta Corp., are in the process of contacting outside service providers regarding the state of their remediation activities for material Year 2000 issues. There can be no assurance that the systems used by outside service providers or other third parties upon which ABS's systems rely, will be timely converted and compliant with Year 2000 issues.
