Agreement dated as of August 4, 1994 between MBNA America Bank, National 
Association and the Trustee (as amended, the "Agreement").

		Section 6.09 of the Agreement provides, among other things, 
that the Seller and the Trustee may at any time and from time to time 
enter into a supplement to the Agreement for the purpose of authorizing 
the delivery by the Trustee to the Seller for the execution and

		Pursuant to this Series Supplement, the Seller and the Trust 
shall create a new Series of Investor Certificates and shall specify the 
Principal Terms thereof.  In addition, certain terms of the Class C

Supplemental Agreement, which is a supplement to this Series Supplement.

otherwise requires, include the Class C Supplemental Agreement.

Interests, Series 1997-B (the "Class C Interests").  The Class A 
Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be substantially in the 
form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, respectively.  The Class C

(i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days 
in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, 
times (B) the Class C Interest Rate in effect with respect to the 
related Interest Period, times (ii) the outstanding principal balance of 
the Class C Interests determined as of the Record Date preceding the 
related Transfer Date (the "Class C Monthly Interest"); provided, 
however, that in addition to the Class C Monthly Interest an amount 
equal to the amount of any unpaid Class C Deficiency Amounts, as defined 
below, plus an amount equal to the product of (A) (1) a fraction, the 
numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest 
Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (2) the sum of the 
Class C Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest 
Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any Class C Deficiency Amount from 
the prior Transfer Date, as defined below (or the portion thereof which 
has not theretofore been paid to Class C Interest Holders) (the "Class C 
Additional Interest") shall also be distributable to the Class C 
Interests, and on such Transfer Date the Trustee shall deposit such 
funds, to the extent available, into the Distribution Account; provided 
further, that the "Class C Deficiency Amount" for any Transfer Date 
shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount accrued 
pursuant to this subsection 4.06(c) as of the prior Interest Period over 
the amount actually allocated and available for payment of such amount 
(after giving effect to the application of Excess Spread and the 
proceeds of any draw made on the Spread Account as provided in 
subsection 4.11(e) and the Class C Supplemental Agreement for the 
purpose of paying such amount with respect to such Distribution Date).

		SECTION 4.07  Determination of Monthly Principal.

(a)  The amount of monthly principal distributable from the 
Principal Account with respect to the Class A Certificates on each 
Transfer Date ("Class A Monthly Principal"), beginning with the Transfer 
Date in the month following the month in which the Controlled 
Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Rapid Amortization Period, 
begins, shall be equal to the least of (i) the Available Investor 
Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect 
to such Transfer Date, (ii) for each Transfer Date with respect to the 
Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such

pursuant to Section 4.10) prior to any deposit into the Principal 
Funding Account on such Transfer Date.
 
(b)  The amount of monthly principal distributable from the 
Principal Account with respect to the Class B Certificates on each 
Transfer Date (the "Class B Monthly Principal"), for the Controlled 
Accumulation Period, beginning with the Transfer Date on which an amount

Principal Funding Account (after taking into account any deposits to be 
made on such Transfer Date), or during the Rapid Amortization Period, 
beginning with the Transfer Date immediately preceding the Distribution 
Date on which the Class A Investor Interest will be paid in full (after 
taking into account payments to be made on the related Distribution 
Date), shall be an amount equal to the least of (i) the Available 
Investor Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with 
respect to such Transfer Date (minus the portion of such Available 
Investor Principal Collections applied to Class A Monthly Principal on 
such Transfer Date), (ii) for each Transfer Date with respect to the 
Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such 
Transfer Date (minus the Class A Monthly Principal with respect to such 
Transfer Date) and (iii) the Class B Adjusted Investor Interest (after 
taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date 
pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12) prior to any deposit into the 
Principal Funding Account on such Transfer Date.
 
(c)  The amount of monthly principal distributable from the 
Principal Account with respect to the Class C Interests on each Transfer 
Date (the "Class C Monthly Principal"), for the Controlled Accumulation 
Period, beginning with the Transfer Date on which an amount equal to the 
sum of (i) the Class A Investor Interest and (ii) the Class B Investor 
Interest has been deposited in the Principal Funding Account (after 
taking into account any deposits to be made on such Transfer Date), or 
during the Rapid Amortization Period, beginning with the Transfer Date 
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Class B 
Investor Interest will be paid in full (after taking into account 
payments to be made on the related Distribution Date), shall be an 
amount equal to the least of (i) the Available Investor Principal 
Collections on deposit in the Principal Account with respect to such 
Transfer Date (minus the portion of such Available Investor Principal 
Collections applied to Class A Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly 
Principal on such Transfer Date), (ii) for each Transfer Date with 
respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit 
Amount for such Transfer Date (minus the Class A Monthly Principal and 
the Class B Monthly Principal with respect to such Transfer Date) and 
(iii) the Class C Adjusted Investor Interest (after taking into account 
any adjustments to be made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 
4.10 and 4.12) prior to any deposit into the Principal Funding Account 
on such Transfer Date.

		SECTION 4.08  Coverage of Required Amount.

(a)  On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall 
determine the amount (the "Class A Required Amount"), if any, by which 
the sum of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus 
(ii) the Class A Deficiency Amount, if any, for such Transfer Date, plus 
(iii) the Class A Additional Interest, if any, for such Transfer Date, 
plus (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee for the prior Monthly Period plus 
(v) the Class A Servicing Fee, if any, due but not paid on any prior 
Transfer Date, plus (vi) the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, 
for the prior Monthly Period, exceeds the Class A Available Funds for 
the related Monthly Period.
 
(b)  On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall also 
determine the amount (the "Class B Required Amount"), if any, equal to 
the sum of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of (A) the Class B 
Monthly Interest for such Transfer Date, plus (B) the Class B Deficiency 
Amount, if any, for such Transfer Date plus (C) the Class B Additional 
Interest, if any, for such Transfer Date, plus (D) the Class B Servicing 
Fee for the prior Monthly Period plus (E) the Class B Servicing Fee, if 
any, due but not paid on any prior Transfer Date, exceeds the Class B 
Available Funds for the related Monthly Period plus (ii) the Class B 
Investor Default Amount, if any, for the prior Monthly Period.
 
(c)  In the event that the sum of the Class A Required Amount 
and the Class B Required Amount for such Transfer Date is greater than 
zero, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee of such 
positive Class A Required Amount or Class B Required Amount on or before 
such Transfer Date.  In the event that the Class A Required Amount for 
such Transfer Date is greater than zero, all or a portion of the Excess 
Spread with respect to such Transfer Date in an amount equal to the 
Class A Required Amount, to the extent available, for such Transfer Date 
shall be distributed from the Finance Charge Account on such Transfer 
Date pursuant to subsection 4.11(a).  In the event that the Class A 
Required Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of Excess 
Spread with respect to such Transfer Date, the Collections of Principal 
Receivables allocable to the Class C Investor Interest and the 
Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Class B 
Certificates with respect to the prior Monthly Period shall be applied 
as specified in Section 4.12.  In the event that the Class B Required 
Amount for such Transfer Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread 
available to fund the Class B Required Amount pursuant to subsection 
4.11(c), the Collections of Principal Receivables allocable to the Class 
C Investor Interest (after application to the Class A Required Amount) 
shall be applied as specified in Section 4.12; provided, however, that 
the sum of any payments pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the 
sum of the Class A Required Amount and the Class B Required Amount.

		SECTION 4.09  Monthly Payments.  On or before each Transfer 
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing 
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to withdraw and 
the Trustee, acting in accordance with such instructions, shall withdraw 
on such Transfer Date or the related Distribution Date, as applicable, 
to the extent of available funds, the amounts required to be withdrawn 
from the Finance Charge Account, the Principal Account, the Principal 
Funding Account and the Distribution Account as follows:

(a)  An amount equal to the Class A Available Funds deposited

Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Additional Interest for 
such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee 
into the Distribution Account;
 
(ii)  an amount equal to the Class A Servicing Fee for such 
Transfer Date plus the amount of any Class A Servicing Fee due but not 
paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date shall be distributed to 
the Servicer;
 
(iii)  an amount equal to the Class A Investor Default 
Amount, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period shall be treated as a 
portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the 
Principal Account on such Transfer Date; and
 
(iv)  the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and 
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
 
(b)  An amount equal to the Class B Available Funds deposited 
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period will be 
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:

Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Additional Interest for 
such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee 
into the Distribution Account;
 
(ii)  an amount equal to the Class B Servicing Fee for such 
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Servicing Fee due but not 
paid to the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date for such Transfer Date 
shall be distributed to the Servicer; and
 
(iii)  the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread 
and shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
 
(c)  An amount equal to the Class C Available Funds deposited 
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly Period will be 
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:
 
(i)  if the Seller or The Bank of New York is no longer the 
Servicer, an amount equal to the Class C Servicing Fee for such Transfer 
Date plus the amount of any Class C Servicing Fee due but not paid to 
the Servicer on any prior Transfer Date shall be distributed to the 
Servicer; and
 
(ii)  the balance, if any, shall constitute Excess Spread and 
shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in Section 4.11.
 
(d)  During the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the 
Available Investor Principal Collections deposited into the Principal 
Account for the related Monthly Period will be distributed on each 
Transfer Date in the following priority:
 
(i)  an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) 
a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available Investor 
Principal Collections for such Transfer Date and the denominator of 
which is equal to the sum of the Available Investor Principal 
Collections available for sharing as specified in the related Series 
Supplement for each Series in Group One and (2) the Cumulative Series 
Principal Shortfall and (B) Available Investor Principal Collections, 
shall remain in the Principal Account to be treated as Shared Principal 
Collections and applied to Series in Group One other than this Series 
1997-B; and
 
(ii)  an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the 
Available Investor Principal Collections for such Transfer Date over (B) 
the applications specified in subsection 4.09(d)(i) above shall be paid 
to the Holder of the Seller Certificate; provided, however, that the 
amount to be paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to 
this subsection 4.09(d)(ii) with respect to such Transfer Date shall be 
paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate only if the Seller Interest 
on such Date of Processing is greater than zero (after giving effect to 
the inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to 
such Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in 
subsection 4.03(b)) and otherwise shall be considered as Unallocated 
Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account in 
accordance with subsection 4.05(d); provided further, that in no event 
shall the amount payable to the Holder of the Seller Certificate 
pursuant to this subsection 4.09(d)(ii) be greater than the Seller 
Interest on such Transfer Date.
 
(e)  During the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid 
Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal 
Collections deposited into the Principal Account for the related Monthly 
Period will be distributed on each Transfer Date in the following 
priority:
 
(i)  an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Principal for 
such Transfer Date, shall be (A) during the Controlled Accumulation 
Period, deposited into the Principal Funding Account, and (B) during the 
Rapid Amortization Period, deposited into the Distribution Account;
 
(ii)  after giving effect to the distribution referred to in 
clause (i) above, an amount equal to the Class B Monthly Principal, 
shall be (A) during the Controlled Accumulation Period, deposited into 
the Principal Funding Account, and (B) during the Rapid Amortization 
Period, deposited into the Distribution Account;
 
(iii)  after giving effect to the distribution referred to in 
clauses (i) and (ii) above, an amount equal to Class C Monthly Principal

the Principal Funding Account, and (B) during the Rapid Amortization 
Period, deposited into the Distribution Account;
 
(iv)  an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the product of (1) 
a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available Investor 
Principal Collections remaining after the application specified in 
subsections 4.09(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above and the denominator of 
which is equal to the sum of the Available Investor Principal 
Collections available for sharing as specified in the related Series 
Supplement for each Series in Group One and (2) the Cumulative Series 
Principal Shortfall and (B) the Available Investor Principal 
Collections, shall remain in the Principal Account to be treated as 
Shared Principal Collections and applied to Series in Group One other 
than this Series 1997-B; and
 
(v)  an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the 
Available Investor Principal Collections over (B) the applications 
specified in subsections 4.09(e)(i) through (iv) above shall be paid to 
the Holder of the Seller Certificate; provided, however, that the amount 
to be paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to this 
subsection 4.09(e)(v) with respect to such Transfer Date shall be paid 
to the Holder of the Seller Certificate only if the Seller Interest on 
such Date of Processing is greater than zero (after giving effect to the 
inclusion in the Trust of all Receivables created on or prior to such 
Transfer Date and the application of payments referred to in subsection 
4.03(b)) and otherwise shall be considered as Unallocated Principal 
Collections and deposited into the Principal Account in accordance with 
subsection 4.05(d); provided further, that in no event shall the amount 
payable to the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to this 
subsection 4.09(e)(v) be greater than the Seller Interest on such 
Transfer Date.
 
(f)  On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Transfer Date 
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the Transfer Date 
immediately preceding the Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in 
accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall withdraw from the 
Principal Funding Account and deposit in the Distribution Account the 
amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account.
 
(g)  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay in 
accordance with subsection 5.01(a) to the Class A Certificateholders 
from the Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the 
Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 4.09(a)(i) on the preceding 
Transfer Date, (b) to the Class B Certificateholders from the 
Distribution Account, the amount deposited into the Distribution Account 
pursuant to subsection 4.09(b)(i) on the preceding Transfer Date and (c) 
to the Class C Interest Holders from the Distribution Account, the 
amount deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to subsection 
4.11(e) on the preceding Transfer Date.
 
(h)  On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution 
Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and (ii) the 
Scheduled Payment Date and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the 
Trustee, acting in accordance with instructions from the Servicer, shall 
pay in accordance with Section 5.01 from the Distribution Account the 
amount so deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to 
subsections 4.09(e) and (f) on the related Transfer Date in the 
following priority:
 
(i)  an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on deposit 
in the Distribution Account and the Class A Investor Interest shall be 
paid to the Class A Certificateholders;
 
(ii)  after giving effect to the distributions referred to in 
clause (i) above, an amount equal to the lesser of such amount on 
deposit in the Distribution Account and the Class B Investor Interest 
shall be paid to the Class B Certificateholders; and
 
(iii)  after giving effect to the distributions referred to 
in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an amount equal to the lesser of such 
amount on deposit in the Distribution Account and the Class C Investor 
Interest shall be paid to the Class C Interest Holders.
 
(i)  The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to 
commence at the close of business on February 28, 2011; provided, 
however, that, if the Accumulation Period Length (determined as 
described below) is less than 12 months, the date on which the 
Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to the 
first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole months prior 
to the Scheduled Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period 
Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled 
Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation Period Length. 
 On the Determination Date immediately preceding the February 2011 
Distribution Date, and each Determination Date thereafter until the 
Controlled Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer will determine the 
"Accumulation Period Length" which will equal the number of whole months 
such that the sum of the Accumulation Period Factors for each month 
during such period will be equal to or greater than the Required 
Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Accumulation 
Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month.

		SECTION 4.10  Investor Charge-Offs.

(a)  On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall 
calculate the Class A Investor Default Amount.  If on any Transfer Date, 
the Class A Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds 
the sum of the amount allocated with respect thereto pursuant to 
subsection 4.09(a)(iii), subsection 4.11(a) and Section 4.12 with 
respect to such Monthly Period, the Class C Investor Interest (after 
giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs and any 
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be reduced 
by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the 
Class A Investor Default Amount and the Class C Investor Interest (after 
giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor Charge-Offs and any 
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such 
Transfer Date.  In the event that such reduction would cause the Class C 
Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class C Investor Interest 
will be reduced to zero, and the Class B Investor Interest (after giving 
effect to reductions for any Class B Investor Charge-Offs and any 
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) will be 
reduced by the amount by which the Class C Investor Interest would have 
been reduced below zero.  In the event that such reduction would cause 
the Class B Investor Interest to be a negative number, the Class B 
Investor Interest will be reduced to zero, and the Class A Investor 
Interest will be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Investor 
Interest would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the 
Class A Investor Default Amount for such Transfer Date (a "Class A 
Investor Charge-Off").  If the Class A Investor Interest has been 
reduced by the amount of any Class A Investor Charge-Offs, it will be 
reimbursed on any Transfer Date (but not by an amount in excess of the 
aggregate Class A Investor Charge-Offs) by the amount of Excess Spread 
allocated and available for such purpose pursuant to subsection 4.11(b).
 
(b)  On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall 
calculate the Class B Investor Default Amount.  If on any Transfer Date, 
the Class B Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds 
the amount of Excess Spread and Reallocated Class C Principal 
Collections which are allocated and available to fund such amount 
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section 4.12, the Class C Investor 
Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any Class C Investor 
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections on such Transfer 
Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as described in subsection 
4.10(a) above) will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by 
more than the lesser of the Class B Investor Default Amount and the 
Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any 
Class C Investor Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal Collections 
on such Transfer Date and any adjustments with respect thereto as 
described in subsection 4.10(a) above) for such Transfer Date.  In the 
event that such reduction would cause the Class C Investor Interest to 
be a negative number, the Class C Investor Interest shall be reduced to 
zero and the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by 
which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero, 
but not by more than the Class B Investor Default Amount for such 
Transfer Date (a "Class B Investor Charge-Off").  The Class B Investor 
Interest will also be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class B 
Principal Collections in excess of the Class C Investor Interest 
pursuant to Section 4.12 and the amount of any portion of the Class B 
Investor Interest allocated to the Class A Certificates to avoid a 
reduction in the Class A Investor Interest pursuant to subsection 
4.10(a) above.  The Class B Investor Interest will thereafter be 
reimbursed (but not to an amount in excess of the unpaid principal 
balance of the Class B Certificates) on any Transfer Date by the amount 
of Excess Spread allocated and available for that purpose as described 
under subsection 4.11(d).
 
(c)  On or before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall 
calculate the Class C Investor Default Amount.  If on any Transfer Date, 
the Class C Investor Default Amount for the prior Monthly Period exceeds 
the amount of Excess Spread which is allocated and available to fund 
such amount pursuant to subsection 4.11(g), the Class C Investor 
Interest will be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more 
than the lesser of the Class C Investor Default Amount and the Class C 
Investor Interest for such Transfer Date (a "Class C Investor 
Charge-Off").  The Class C Investor Interest will also be reduced by the 
amount of Reallocated Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.12 and 
the amount of any portion of the Class C Investor Interest allocated to 
the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates to avoid a 
reduction in the Class A Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 
4.10(a), or the Class B Investor Interest, pursuant to subsection 
4.10(b), respectively.  The Class C Investor Interest will thereafter be 
reimbursed on any Transfer Date by the amount of the Excess Spread 
allocated and available for that purpose as described under subsection 
4.11(h).

		SECTION 4.11  Excess Spread.  On or before each Transfer 
Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing (which writing 
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) to apply, Excess 
Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period, to make the following 
distributions on each Transfer Date in the following priority:

(a)  an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, 
with respect to such Transfer Date will be used to fund the Class A 
Required Amount and be applied in accordance with, and in the priority 
set forth in, subsection 4.09(a);
 
(b)  an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A 
Investor Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed will be 
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited 
into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
 
(c)  an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any, 
with respect to such Transfer Date will be used to fund the Class B 
Required Amount and be applied first in accordance with, and in the 
priority set forth in, subsection 4.09(b) and then any remaining amount 
available to pay the Class B Investor Default Amount shall be treated as 
a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the 
Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
 
(d)  an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the 
Class B Investor Interest has been reduced below the initial Class B 
Investor Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to the 
Class B Certificateholders (but not in excess of the aggregate amount of 
such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) will be 
treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and deposited 
into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
 
(e)  an amount equal to Class C Monthly Interest for such 
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class C Deficiency Amount for such 
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class C Additional Interest for 
such Transfer Date, shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee 
into the Distribution Account; provided, however, that in the event that 
Class C Monthly Interest exceeds the amount of Excess Spread available 
(after giving effect to subsections 4.11(a) through (d) above) to fund 
such Class C Monthly Interest a draw will be made from amounts available 
for distribution in the Spread Account (at the times and in the amounts 
specified in the Class C Supplemental Agreement) for deposit into the 
Distribution Account for application as Class C Monthly Interest in 
accordance with this subsection 4.11(e).
 
 
(f)  if the Seller or The Bank of New York is the Servicer, 
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid Class C 
Servicing Fees will be paid to the Servicer;
 
(g)  an amount equal to the Class C Investor Default Amount, 
if any, for the prior Monthly Period will be treated as a portion of 
Investor Principal Collections and deposited into the Principal Account 
on such Transfer Date;
 
(h)  an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the 
Class C Investor Interest has been reduced for reasons other than the 
deposit into the Distribution Account for payment of principal to the 
Class C Investor Interest Holders (but not in excess of the aggregate 
amount of such reductions which have not been previously reimbursed) 
will be treated as a portion of Investor Principal Collections and 
deposited into the Principal Account on such Transfer Date;
 
(i)  on each Transfer Date from and after the Reserve Account 
Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account 
terminates as described in Section 4.15(f), an amount up to the excess, 
if any, of the Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available 
Reserve Account Amount shall be deposited into the Reserve Account;
 
(j)  an amount equal to the amounts required to be deposited 
in the Spread Account pursuant to the Class C Supplemental Agreement 
shall (after giving effect to the payments made pursuant to 
subparagraphs (a) through (i) above) be deposited into the Spread 
Account as provided in the Class C Supplemental Agreement; and
 
(k)  the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments 
made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (j) above, shall be paid to 
the Holder of the Seller Certificate.

		SECTION 4.12  Reallocated Principal Collections.  On or 
before each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in 
writing (which writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B 
hereto) to withdraw from the Principal Account and apply Reallocated 
Principal Collections (applying all Reallocated Class C Principal 
Collections in accordance with subsections 4.12(a) and (b) prior to 
applying any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in accordance 
with subsection 4.12(a) for any amounts still owing after the 
application of Reallocated Class C Principal Collections) with respect 
to such Transfer Date, to make the following distributions on each 
Transfer Date in the following priority:

(a)  an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class 
A Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) 
the amount of Excess Spread with respect to the related Monthly Period, 
shall be applied pursuant to subsections 4.09(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); and
 
(b)  an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class 
B Required Amount, if any, with respect to such Transfer Date over (ii) 
the amount of Excess Spread allocated and available to the Class B 
Certificates pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) on such Transfer Date shall 
be applied first pursuant to subsections 4.09(b)(i) and (ii) and then 
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c).
 
(c)  On each Transfer Date, the Class C Investor Interest 
shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Class C Principal 
Collections and by the amount of Reallocated Class B Principal 
Collections for such Transfer Date.  In the event that such reduction 
would cause the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to any 
Class C Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative 
number, the Class C Investor Interest (after giving effect to any Class 
C Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) shall be reduced to zero 
and the Class B Investor Interest shall be reduced by the amount by 
which the Class C Investor Interest would have been reduced below zero. 
 In the event that the reallocation of Reallocated Principal Collections 
would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after giving effect to any 
Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be a negative 
number on any Transfer Date, Reallocated Principal Collections shall be 
reallocated on such Transfer Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed 
the amount which would cause the Class B Investor Interest (after giving 
effect to any Class B Investor Charge-Offs for such Transfer Date) to be 
reduced to zero.

		SECTION 4.13  Shared Principal Collections.

(a)  The portion of Shared Principal Collections on deposit 
in the Principal Account equal to the amount of Shared Principal 
Collections allocable to Series 1997-B on any Transfer Date shall be 
applied as an Available Investor Principal Collection pursuant to 
Section 4.09 and pursuant to such Section 4.09 shall be deposited in the 
Distribution Account or distributed in accordance with the Loan 
Agreement.
 
(b)  Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1997-B 
with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal to the 
Series Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 1997-B for 
such Transfer Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of 
Shared Principal Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date is 
less than the Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for such Transfer 
Date, then Shared Principal Collections allocable to Series 1997-B on 
such Transfer Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared Principal 
Collections for all Series for such Transfer Date and (ii) a fraction, 
the numerator of which is the Series Principal Shortfall with respect to 
Series 1997-B for such Transfer Date and the denominator of which is the 
aggregate amount of Cumulative Series Principal Shortfall for all Series 
for such Transfer Date.
 
(c)  Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of 
Available Investor Principal Collections to be treated as Shared 
Principal Collections on any Transfer Date allocable to other Series in 
Group One, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the 
Class A Required Amount, Class B Required Amount, Excess Spread and 
Reallocated Principal Collections as of such Determination Date for the 
following Transfer Date.

		SECTION 4.14  Principal Funding Account.

(a)  The Trustee shall establish and maintain with a 
Qualified Institution, which may be the Trustee, in the name of the 
Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor 
Certificateholders, a segregated trust account with the corporate trust 
department of such Qualified Institution (the "Principal Funding 
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds 
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor 
Certificateholders.  The Trustee shall possess all right, title and 
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Principal 
Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof.  The Principal Funding 
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for 
the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.  If at any time the 
institution holding the Principal Funding Account ceases to be a 
Qualified Institution, the Seller shall notify the Trustee, and the 
Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, 
within 10 Business Days, establish a new Principal Funding Account 
meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Institution, and 
shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal Funding 
Account.  The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make 
withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account from time to time, in the 
amounts and for the purposes set forth in this Series Supplement, and 
(ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the commencement of the 
Controlled Accumulation Period) prior to termination of the Principal 
Funding Account make a deposit into the Principal Funding Account in the 
amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 
4.09(e).
 
(b)  Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall 
be invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted 
Investments.  Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any 
Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal 
Funding Account on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such 
investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for 
withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date.  The Trustee 
shall maintain for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders 
possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, 
evidencing such Permitted Investments.  No Permitted Investment shall be 
disposed of prior to its maturity.
 
		On the Transfer Date occurring in the month following the 
commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period and on each Transfer 
Date thereafter with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the 
Trustee, acting at the Servicer's direction given on or before such 
Transfer Date, shall transfer from the Principal Funding Account to the 
Finance Charge Account the Principal Funding Investment Proceeds on 
deposit in the Principal Funding Account, but not in excess of the 
Covered Amount, for application in the following priority:
 
		(i) an amount equal to that portion of the Covered Amount 
computed pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Covered Amount 
shall be treated as Class A Available Funds to be applied pursuant to 
subsection 4.09(a)(i);
 
		(ii) an amount equal to that portion of the Covered Amount 
computed pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Covered Amount 
shall be treated as Class B Available Funds to be applied pursuant to 
subsection 4.09(b)(i); and
 
		(iii) the balance, if any, shall be treated as Class C 
Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(c).
 
		Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be 
paid to the Seller on each Transfer Date.  An amount equal to any 
Principal Funding Investment Shortfall will be deposited in the Finance 
Charge Account on each Transfer Date from the Reserve Account to the 
extent funds are available pursuant to, and in accordance with, 
subsection 4.15(d).  Principal Funding Investment Proceeds (including 
reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the amounts on 
deposit in the Principal Funding Account for purposes of this Series 
Supplement.

		SECTION 4.15  Reserve Account.

(a)  The Trustee shall establish and maintain with a 
Qualified Institution, which may be the Trustee in the name of the 
Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor 
Certificateholders, a segregated trust account with the corporate trust 
department of such Qualified Institution (the "Reserve Account"), 
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited 
therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.  
The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on 
deposit from time to time in the Reserve Account and in all proceeds 
thereof.  The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and 
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor 
Certificateholders.  If at any time the institution holding the Reserve 
Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Seller shall notify 
the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its 
behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days, establish a new Reserve Account 
meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Institution, and 
shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. 
 The Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make 
withdrawals from the Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up 
to the Available Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes 
set forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date 
(from and after the Reserve Account Funding Date) prior to termination 
of the Reserve Account make a deposit into the Reserve Account in the 
amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 
4.11(i).
 
(b)  Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be 
invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted 
Investments.  Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Transfer 
Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Account on 
such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will 
mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior 
to the following Transfer Date.  The Trustee shall maintain for the 
benefit of the Investor Certificateholders possession of the negotiable 
instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted 
Investments.  No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its 
maturity.  On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of 
losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer 
Date on funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be retained in the 
Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Reserve Account Amount 
is less than the Required Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if 
any, shall be deposited into the Finance Charge Account and included in 
Class A Available Funds for such Transfer Date.  For purposes of 
determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Reserve 
Account for any reason under this Series Supplement, except as otherwise 
provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings on such funds 
shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.
 
(c)  On or before each Transfer Date with respect to the 
Controlled Accumulation Period and on or before the first Transfer Date 
with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer shall 
calculate the "Reserve Draw Amount" which shall be equal to the 
Principal Funding Investment Shortfall with respect to each Transfer 
Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or the first 
Transfer Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period; provided, 
however, that such amount will be reduced to the extent that funds 
otherwise would be available for deposit in the Reserve Account under 
Section 4.11(i) with respect to such Transfer Date.
 
(d)  In the event that for any Transfer Date the Reserve Draw 
Amount is greater than zero, the Reserve Draw Amount, up to the 
Available Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Reserve 
Account on such Transfer Date by the Trustee (acting in accordance with 
the instructions of the Servicer), and deposited into the Finance Charge 
Account for application in the following priority:
 
		(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount 
equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause 
(a) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the amount treated as 
Class A Available Funds pursuant to subsection 4.14(b)(i), shall be 
treated as Class A Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 
4.09(a)(i);
 
		(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) an amount 
equal to that portion of the Covered Amount computed pursuant to clause 
(b) of the definition of Covered Amount over (y) the amount treated as 
Class B Available Funds pursuant to subsection 4.14(b)(ii), shall be 
treated as Class B Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 
4.09(b)(i); and
 
		(iii) the balance, if any, shall be treated as Class C 
Available Funds to be applied pursuant to subsection 4.09(c).
 
(e)  In the event that the Reserve Account Surplus on any 
Transfer Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals 
from the Reserve Account with respect to such Transfer Date, is greater 
than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the instructions of 
the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Account, and treat as 
Excess Spread to be applied in accordance with the priority set in 
4.11(j) and (k), an amount equal to such Reserve Account Surplus.
 
(f)  Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the 
Trust pursuant to Article XII of the Agreement, (ii) if the Controlled 
Accumulation Period has not commenced, the first Transfer Date relating 
to the Rapid Amortization Period and (iii) if the Controlled 
Accumulation Period has commenced, the earlier of the first Transfer 
Date with respect to the Rapid Amortization Period and the Transfer Date 
immediately preceding the Scheduled Payment Date, the Trustee, acting in 
accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, after the prior 
payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1997-B Certificateholders 
that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided herein, shall 
withdraw from the Reserve Account and treat as Excess Spread to be 
applied in accordance with the priority set in 4.11(j) and (k), all 
amounts, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve 
Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Series 
Supplement.

		SECTION 4.16  Determination of LIBOR.

(a)  On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee will 
determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States 
dollars for a one-month period 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, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will 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 period equal to the relevant Interest Period (commencing on the 
first day of such Interest Period).  The Trustee will request the 
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a 
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the 
rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of 
the quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, 
the rate 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 
period equal to the relevant Interest Period (commencing on the first 
day of such Interest Period).
 
(b)  The Class A Certificate Rate and Class B Certificate 
Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding 
Interest Periods may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by 
telephoning the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (212) 815-5368.
 
(c)  On each LIBOR Determination Date prior to 12:00 noon New 
York City time, the Trustee shall send to the Servicer by facsimile, 
notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
 
		SECTION 4.17  Seller's or Servicer's Failure to Make a 
Deposit or Payment.
 
		If the Servicer or the Seller fails to make, or give 
instructions to make, any payment or deposit (other than as required by 
subsections 2.04(d) and (e) and 12.02(a) or Sections 10.02 and 12.01) 
required to be made or given by the Servicer or Seller, respectively, at 
the time specified in the Agreement (including applicable grace 
periods), the Trustee shall make such payment or deposit from the 
applicable Investor Account without instruction from the Servicer or 
Seller.  The Trustee shall be required to make any such payment, deposit 
or withdrawal hereunder only to the extent that the Trustee has 
sufficient information to allow it to determine the amount thereof; 
provided, however, that the Trustee shall in all cases be deemed to have 
sufficient information to determine the amount of interest payable to 
the Series 1997-B Certificateholders on each Distribution Date.  The 
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the 
Trustee with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such 
payment, deposit or withdrawal.  Such funds or the proceeds of such 
withdrawal shall be applied by the Trustee in the manner in which such 
payment or deposit should have been made by the Seller or the Servicer, 
as the case may be.
 
		SECTION 8.  Article V of the Agreement.  Article V of the

comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any 
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time in 
effect.

		SECTION 9.  Series 1997-B Pay Out Events.  If any one of the 
following events shall occur with respect to the Investor Certificates:

(a)  failure on the part of the Seller (i) to make any

this Series Supplement, on or before the date occurring five days after 
the date such payment or deposit is required to be made herein or (ii) 
duly to observe or perform in any material respect any covenants or 
agreements of the Seller set forth in the Agreement or this Series 
Supplement (including, without limitation, the covenant of the Seller 
contained in Section 11 of this Series Supplement), which failure has a 
material adverse effect on the Series 1997-B Holders, (which 
determination shall be made without reference to whether any funds are 
available under any Credit Enhancement) and which continues unremedied 
for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such 
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the 
Seller by the Trustee, or to the Seller and the Trustee by the Holders 
of Investor Certificates evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not 
less than 50% of the Investor Interest of this Series 1997-B, and 
continues to affect materially and adversely the interests of the Series 
1997-B Holders (which determination shall be made without reference to 
whether any funds are available under any Credit Enhancement) for such 
period;
 
(b)  any representation or warranty made by the Seller in the 
Agreement or this Series Supplement, or any information contained in a 
computer file or microfiche list required to be delivered by the Seller 
pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.06, (i) shall prove to have been incorrect 
in any material respect when made or when delivered, which continues to 
be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the

remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Trustee, or to the 
Seller and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates 
evidencing Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 50% of the 
Investor Interest of this Series 1997-B, and (ii) as a result of which 
the interests of the Series 1997-B Holders are materially and adversely 
affected (which determination shall be made without reference to whether 
any funds are available under any Credit Enhancement) and continue to be 
materially and adversely affected for such period; provided, however, 
that a Series 1997-B Pay Out Event pursuant to this subsection 9(b) 
hereof shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder if the Seller has 
accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of such 
Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance with the 
provisions of the Agreement;
 
(c)  the average of the Portfolio Yields for any three 
consecutive Monthly Periods is less than the average of the Base Rates

hereof, after the applicable grace period set forth in such 
subparagraphs, if any, either the Trustee or Holders of Series 1997-B 
Certificates and the Class C Interest Holders evidencing Undivided 
Interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Investor Interest of this

Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may 
declare that a pay out event (a "Series 1997-B Pay Out Event") has 
occurred as of the date of such notice, and in the case of any event 
described in subsection 9(c), (d) or (f) hereof, a Series 1997-B Pay Out 
Event shall occur without any notice or other action on the part of the 
Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders immediately upon the 
occurrence of such event.

Seller hereby agrees that, except as otherwise required by any 
Requirement of Law, or as is deemed by the Seller to be necessary in 
order for the Seller to maintain its credit card business, based upon a 
good faith assessment by the Seller, in its sole discretion, of the 
nature of the competition in the credit card business, it shall not at 
any time reduce the Periodic Finance Charges assessed on any Receivable

executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall

constitute but one and the same instrument.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT 
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS

WITH SUCH LAWS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE IMMUNITIES AND STANDARD OF 
CARE OF THE TRUSTEE IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST HEREUNDER SHALL 
BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

		The Seller has structured the Pooling and Servicing 
Agreement and the Series 1997-B Certificates with the intention that the
