reference in this Supplement, except to the extent specifically modified in the
Term Sheet.  In the event that any term or provision contained in the
Supplement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any term or provision
contained in the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Supplement shall
govern.

                 Pursuant to this Supplement, the Seller and the Trustee hereby
create a Series of Investor Certificates to be issued pursuant to the Agreement
and this Supplement to be known as "Capital One Master Trust, Series 1996-3".

hereby created a third Class of uncertificated interests in the Trust which,
