            Inc. ("Fleet Financial Group") entered into a Contribution
            Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which they
            agreed that Advanta Corp. and certain of its subsidiaries,
            including Advanta National Bank (the "Advanta Contributors"), and
            Fleet Financial Group and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Fleet
            Contributors"), would contribute certain of the assets and
            liabilities relating to their respective consumer credit card
            businesses to a newly created Rhode Island limited liability
            company, Fleet Credit Card, LLC (the "LLC"), initially in
            exchange for a 4.99% membership interest in the LLC to the
            Advanta Contributors and 95.01% membership interest to the Fleet
            Contributors and the assumption of certain liabilities, and,
            prior to such contribution, the LLC would direct the Fleet
            Contributors and the Advanta Contributors to transfer to Fleet
            Bank (RI), National Association ("Fleet (RI)"), a national

            ADVANTA Credit Card Master Trust II to the Fleet Credit Card Master
            Trust II. On February 20, 1998, immediately after Amendment Number 3
            became effective and simultaneously with the Transfer, Advanta
            National Bank, Fleet (RI), the LLC and the Trustee entered into an
            Assignment and Assumption Agreement under which (I) Advanta National
            Bank transferred to Fleet (RI), and Fleet (RI) accepted and assumed,
