Item l. Business
On October 28, 1997, Advanta Corp. and Fleet Financial Group, 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 banking association with its
principal executive office located in Rhode Island and a subsidiary
of Fleet Financial Group, certain of those assets and liabilities,
including their credit card accounts and the assets and liabilities
of Advanta National Bank relating to the ADVANTA Credit Card Master
Trust. On February 20, 1998 the Advanta Contributors and the Fleet
Contributors transferred to Fleet Bank (RI) those assets and
liabilities (collectively, the "Transfer").
On February 20, 1998, immediately prior to the Transfer, Advanta

National Bank's rights and obligations under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and to change the name of the ADVANTA Credit
Card Master Trust to the Fleet Credit Card Master Trust. On February
20, 1998, immediately after the Third Amendment became effective
and simultaneously with the Transfer, Advanta National Bank, Fleet
(RI), the LLC and the Trustee entered into a Supplemental Agreement
under which (I) Advanta National Bank transferred to Fleet (RI), and
Fleet (RI) accepted and assumed, all of Advanta National Bank's
rights and obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(ii) Fleet (RI) became Seller and Servicer of the Trust, (iii) Advanta
National Bank was released from any continuing obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iv) the name of the ADVANTA Credit
Card Master Trust was changed to Fleet Credit Card Master Trust, and
(iv) Advanta National Bank and Fleet (RI) filed with the appropriate
