Series 2003-A in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of
Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to all the Excess Allocation
Series in Group One for such Payment Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Finance Charge Shortfall for Series 2003-A for such Payment Date
and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Finance Charge

(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2003-A Principal Shortfall
for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of
Principal Shortfalls for all the Series which are Principal Sharing Series in
Group One for such Payment Date. The "SERIES 2003-A PRINCIPAL SHORTFALL" will be
equal to (a) for any Payment Date with respect to the Revolving Period or the
Early Amortization Period, zero; (b) for any Payment Date with respect to the
Controlled Accumulation Period, the excess, if any, of the Controlled Deposit
Amount with respect to such Payment Date over the amount of Available Principal
Collections for such Payment Date (excluding any portion thereof attributable to

(f) If on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals

determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars
having a maturity of one month commencing on such LIBOR Determination Date which
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If
such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR for that LIBOR
Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
interbank market for a one-month period and in an amount of not less than U.S.
$1,000,000. The Indenture Trustee shall request the principal London office of
each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two
(2) such quotations are provided, LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date shall
be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two (2) quotations are
provided as requested, LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by
the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for
loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period
and in an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000; provided, that, if the banks
selected by the Servicer are not quoting such rates, LIBOR for that LIBOR
Determination Date will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding LIBOR
Determination Date.
(b) The Class A Note Interest Rate, the Class B Note Interest
Rate, the Class C Note Interest Rate and the Class D Note Interest Rate
applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods
may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust
office at (000) 000-0000 or such other telephone number as shall be designated
by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the
Indenture Trustee to each Series 2003-A Noteholder from time to time.

send to the Transferor by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the
following Interest Period.
Section 4.13 Investment Instructions. Any investment instructions
required to be given to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must
be given to the Indenture Trustee no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the date such investment is to be made. In the event the Indenture Trustee
receives such investment instruction later than such time, the Indenture Trustee
may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event the
Indenture Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment
instruction received by the Indenture Trustee after 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on such day, such investment shall be made by the Indenture Trustee on the
next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable
for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after

Assignment consists of the entirety of such assignor Holder's Class D Note and
no Class D Note Assignments of a partial interest in such Class D Notes will be
made, and (ii) the Transferor shall have granted its prior written consent
(which consent shall not be granted if, among other things, the Transferor
determines in its sole and absolute discretion that such Class D Note Assignment
would create or increase a risk that the
-36-
Trust would be classified for Federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation); provided,
however, that any Class D Note Assignment shall be void unless (i) such proposed
Class D Note Assignee, other than ABC or an Affiliate of ABC, shall comply with
this Section 8.03 and shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the
Servicer and the Transferor an investment representation letter substantially in
the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (an "INVESTMENT LETTER"), or such other

prior to the effectiveness of such Class D Note Assignment; (ii) the number of

writing to the Indenture Trustee (who shall promptly deliver it to the
Transferor) for the consent of the Transferor, and the Transferor shall respond
to any such request within ten Business Days after its receipt; it being
understood that the obtaining of such consent is a condition to the
effectiveness of the Class D Note Assignment. Each Class D Note Assignee is
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.03 and its Investment

and warranties contained in its Investment Letter. Any transfer, resale, pledge

hereto as Exhibit E. None of the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer, the

to register or qualify the Class D Notes under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture
Supplement or the Indenture to permit the transfer of the Class D Notes without
registration or qualification. Any Class D Noteholder desiring to effect a
transfer of unregistered Class D Notes shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Issuer, the Transferor (unless the transferor of the Class D Notes
is the Transferor), the Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the
Transfer Agent and Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws and no registration of transfer
shall be made until such letter is so delivered.
(c) The Class D Notes may not be acquired or held by or on behalf
of or with "plan assets" of (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section
3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include
"plan assets" by reason of a plan's investment in the purchaser or (d) a
"benefit plan investor" (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL")
Regulation Section 2510.3-101) ("BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR"), unless (i) the
investor is acquiring or holding the Class D Notes with assets of an "insurance
company general account" (within the meaning of DOL Prohibited
-37-
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60 (a "GENERAL ACCOUNT")), (ii) the
purchase and holding of the Class D Notes are eligible for the exemptive relief
afforded under Section I of PTCE 95-60, (iii) less than 25% of the assets of
such General Account constitute "plan assets" of Benefit Plan Investors, and
(iv) after giving effect to the purchase of the Class D Notes and all other
purchases occurring simultaneously therewith, less than 25% of the Class D Notes
(excluding Class D Notes held by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer)
will constitute "plan assets" of Benefit Plan Investors.
(d) Each Class D Noteholder, other than ABC or an Affiliate of
ABC, agrees with the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee that: (i) such Class D
Noteholder will deliver to the Transferor, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee on or before the acquisition of the Class D Notes and on or before the
effective date of any Class D Note Assignment, as applicable, a letter in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit E, executed by the Class D Noteholder, or such
Class D Note Assignee, in the case of a Class D Note Assignment, with respect to
the purchase by such Class D Noteholder or Class D Note Assignee, as the case
may be, of a Class D Note and (ii) all of the statements made by such Class D
Noteholder in its Investment Letter shall be true and correct as of the date
made.
(e) Class D Notes issued upon registration or transfer of, or
Class D Notes issued in exchange for Class D Notes shall bear the restrictive
legends regarding securities laws, tax and ERISA matters contained in the form
of the Class D Note attached as Exhibit A-4 hereto, unless the Transferor, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an
Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend
may be removed or modified.
(f) If so requested by the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee will
make available to any prospective purchaser of Class D Notes who so requests, a
copy of a letter provided to the Indenture Trustee by or on behalf of the
Transferor relating to the transferability of any Series or Class.
(g) Any Class C Note held by ABC at the time of its initial
issuance may be transferred or exchanged only upon the delivery to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of the date
of such transfer or exchange, as the case may be, to the effect that such
transfer or exchange, as the case may be, will not cause the Trust to be deemed
to be an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.04 Amendment. This Indenture Supplement may be amended only
in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 10.01 and 10.02 of the

CLASS A ASSET BACKED NOTE
Summary of Terms and Conditions
This Class A Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as Advanta Business Card Master Trust, Series 2003-A (the
"SERIES 2003-A NOTES"), issued under a Master Indenture dated as of August 1,
2000 (the "MASTER INDENTURE"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), as indenture trustee
(the "INDENTURE TRUSTEE"), as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement dated as
of February 1, 2003 (the "INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT"), and representing the right to
receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term "Indenture," unless the
context otherwise requires, refers to the Master Indenture as supplemented by
the Indenture Supplement. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture. In the event
of any conflict or inconsistency between the Indenture and this Note, the
Indenture shall control.
The Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will also be
issued under the Indenture.
The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that it will
look solely to the property of the Trust allocated to the payment of this Note
for payment hereunder and that the Indenture Trustee is not liable to the
Noteholders for any amount payable under the Note or the Indenture or, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the
Indenture.
This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture and reference is
made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Indenture Trustee.
The Class A Note Initial Principal Balance is $320,000,000. The Class A
Note Principal Balance on any date of determination will be an amount equal to
(a) the Class A Note Initial Principal Balance, minus (b) the aggregate amount
of principal payments made to the Class A Noteholders on or prior to such date.
The Expected Final Principal Payment Date is the February 2006 Payment
Date, but principal with respect to the Class A Notes may be paid earlier or
later under certain circumstances described in the Indenture. If for one or more
months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds
to deposit into the Principal Funding Account the Controlled Deposit Amount,
then to the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Payment
Dates with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such
shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the Notes will occur later than
the Expected Final Principal Payment Date. Payments of principal of the Notes
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
Exhibit A-1-5
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Transferor
may, from time to time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to
issue one or more new Series of Notes.
On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A
Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final payment in
respect of this Class A Note) such Class A Noteholder's pro rata share of the
amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such
Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes pursuant to the
Indenture Supplement. Except as provided in the Indenture with respect to a
final payment, payments to Series 2003-A Noteholders shall be made by (i) check
mailed to each Series 2003-A Noteholder (at such Noteholder's address as it
appears in the Note Register), except that with respect to any Series 2003-A
Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency, such payment
shall be made in immediately available funds and (ii) without presentation or
surrender of any Series 2003-A Note or the making of any notation thereon. Final
payment of this Class A Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender
of this Class A Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final
payment delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Series 2003-A Noteholders in
accordance with the Indenture.
On any day occurring on or after the date on which the outstanding
principal balance of the Series 2003-A Notes is reduced to 10% or less of the
initial outstanding principal balance of the Series 2003-A Notes, the Servicer
shall have the option to redeem the Series 2003-A Notes, at a purchase price
equal to (i) if such day is a Payment Date, the Reassignment Amount for such
Payment Date or (ii) if such day is not a Payment Date, the Reassignment Amount
for the Payment Date following such day.
THIS CLASS A NOTE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST
IN, THE TRANSFEROR, ADVANTA BANK CORP., ADVANTA CORP., OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY
OF THEM AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY.

it will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Transferor, or join

proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class A
Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class A Note shall be registered in
the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of

accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the
Class A Noteholder or such Class A Noteholder's attorney, and duly authorized in
writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class A
Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount will be

Summary of Terms and Conditions
This Class C Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as Advanta Business Card Master Trust, Series 2003-A (the
"SERIES 2003-A NOTES"), issued under a Master Indenture dated as of August 1,
2000 (the "MASTER INDENTURE"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), as indenture trustee
(the "INDENTURE TRUSTEE"), as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement dated as
of February 1, 2003 (the "INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT"), and representing the right to
receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term "Indenture," unless the
context otherwise requires, refers to the Master Indenture as supplemented by
the Indenture Supplement. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture. In the event
of any conflict or inconsistency between the Indenture and this Note, the
Indenture shall control.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes will also be
issued under the Indenture.
The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that it will
look solely to the property of the Trust allocated to the payment of this Note
for payment hereunder and that the Indenture Trustee is not liable to the
Noteholders for any amount payable under the Note or the Indenture or, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the

This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture and reference is
made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Indenture Trustee.
The Class C Note Initial Principal Balance is $29,000,000.
The Class C Note Principal Balance on any date of determination will be

prior to such date.
The Expected Final Principal Payment Date is the February 2006 Payment
Date, but principal with respect to the Class C Notes may be paid earlier or
later under certain circumstances described in the Indenture. If for one or more
months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds
to deposit into the Principal Funding Account the Controlled Deposit Amount,
then to the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Payment
Dates with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such
shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the Notes will occur later than
the Expected Final Principal Payment Date. Payments of principal of the Notes
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final payment in
respect of this Class C Note) such Class C Noteholder's pro rata share of the
amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such
Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class C Notes pursuant to the
Indenture Supplement. Except as provided in the Indenture with respect to a
final payment, payments to Series 2003-A Noteholders shall be made by (i) check
mailed to each Series 2003-A Noteholder (at such Noteholder's address as it
appears in the Note Register), except that with respect to any Series 2003-A
Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency, such payment
shall be made in immediately available funds and (ii) without presentation or
surrender of any Series 2003-A Note or the making of any notation thereon. Final
payment of this Class C Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender
of this Class C Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final
payment delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Series 2003-A Noteholders in
accordance with the Indenture.

principal balance of the Series 2003-A Notes is reduced to 10% or less of the
initial outstanding principal balance of the Series 2003-A Notes, the Servicer
shall have the option to redeem the Series 2003-A Notes, at a purchase price
equal to (i) if such day is a Payment Date, the Reassignment Amount for such
Payment Date or (ii) if such day is not a Payment Date, the Reassignment Amount
for the Payment Date following such day.

have full power to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements
contained herein on behalf of each of those accounts;
7. we (1) are a QIB, (2) are aware that the sale to us is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A and if we are acquiring those Class D notes or any

are acquiring those Class D notes or any interest or participation therein for
our own account or for the account of a QIB;
8. we are purchasing the Class D notes for our own account, or
for one or more investor accounts for which we are acting as fiduciary or agent,
in each case for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of
Exhibit E-3
the Securities Act, subject to any requirements of law that the disposition of
our property or the property of that investor account or accounts be at all
times within our or their control and subject to our or their ability to resell
those Class D notes, or any interest or participation therein, as described
herein and as provided in the Master Indenture or the Indenture Supplement
relating to the Series 2003-A Notes;
9. we agree that if in the future we should offer, sell or
otherwise transfer that Class D note or any interest or participation therein,

account or for the account of a QIB, whom we have informed that such offer, sale

agree to use reasonable efforts to produce a replacement investor which is
acceptable to the Transferor to replace us in the event of any such breach
(understanding also that the Transferor shall also have the right to procure a
replacement investor), and agree to take all actions necessary to permit a
replacement investor to succeed to our rights and obligations with respect to
the related Class D note. We acknowledge that the portion of the Tax Opinion to
the effect that the Trust will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the
certifications described herein;
11. we are the beneficial owner for United States federal income

discretion in writing, we are and will remain a "United States person" for such
purposes for so long as we hold any interest in a Class D Note;

making a market in such interests and a market wherein any person regularly
makes available bid or offer quotes with respect to interests in the Class D
Notes and stands ready to effect, buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices
for itself or on behalf of others);
15. either [check one]:
