          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
redelivery to the Trustee for authentication of one or more

shall create a new Series of Investor Certificates and shall
specify the

          SECTION 1.  Designation.  (a) There is hereby
created a
Series of Investor Certificates to be issued in two classes

Backed
Certificates, Series 1997-J (the "Class B Certificates").
The Class A

form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, respectively.  In
addition, there
is hereby created a third Class of an uncertificated
interest in the
Trust which shall be deemed to be an "Investor Certificate"

Interest, Series 1997-J (the "Collateral Interest").

          (b) Series 1997-J shall be included in Group One

Date pursuant
to the Loan Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
except as
expressly provided herein, the provisions of Article VI and
Article XII

the definition of Tax Opinion in Section 1.01 of the
Agreement shall not

(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 A Certificate Rate in effect with
respect to
the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any
Class A
Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined
below (or the
portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class
A
Certificateholders) (the "Class A Additional Interest")
shall also be
distributable to the Class A Certificates, and on such
Transfer Date the
Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent available,
into the
Distribution Account; provided further, that the "Class A
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(a) as of
the prior Interest Period over the amount actually
transferred to the
Distribution Account for payment of such amount.

          (b) The amount of monthly interest distributable
with
respect to the Class B Certificates shall be an amount equal
to the
product of (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 B Certificate Rate in
effect with
respect to the related Interest Period, times (ii) the
outstanding
principal balance of the Class B Certificates determined as
of the
Record Date preceding the related Transfer Date (the "Class
B Monthly
Interest"); provided, however, that in addition to the Class
B Monthly
Interest an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Class B
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 B Certificate Rate in effect with
respect to
the related Interest Period, plus 2% per annum, and (B) any
Class B
Deficiency Amount from the prior Transfer Date, as defined
below (or the
portion thereof which has not theretofore been paid to Class
B

distributable to the Class B Certificates, and on such
Transfer Date the
Trustee shall deposit such funds, to the extent available,
into the
Distribution Account; provided further, that the "Class B
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(b) as of
the prior Interest Period over the amount actually
transferred to the
Distribution Account for payment of such amount.

          (c) The amount of monthly interest distributable
with
respect to the Collateral Interest shall be an amount equal
to the
product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
actual

denominator of
which is 360, times (B) the Collateral Rate in effect with
respect to
the related Interest Period, times (ii) the Collateral
Interest
determined as of the Record Date preceding such Transfer
Date (the
"Collateral Monthly Interest"); provided, however, that for
the purposes
of determining Collateral Monthly Interest only, the
Collateral Rate
shall not exceed a per annum rate of 1% in excess of the
London
interbank offered rate for one-month United States dollar
deposits
determined by the Trustee on the second London Business Day
prior to the
Transfer Date on which the related Interest Period
commences.

          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
Transfer Date and (iii) the Class A Adjusted Investor
Interest  (after
taking into account any adjustments to be made on such
Transfer Date
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

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 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 (the
"Collateral Monthly
Principal") distributable from the Principal Account with
respect to the
Collateral Interest on each Transfer Date shall be (A)
during the
Revolving Period following any reduction of the Required
Collateral
Interest pursuant to clause (z) of the proviso in the
definition thereof
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess, if any, of
the
Collateral Interest (after taking into account any
adjustments to be
made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10 and
4.12) over the
Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date, and (2)
the
Available Investor Principal Collections on such Transfer
Date or (B)
during the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Rapid
Amortization
Period an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess, if
any, of the
Collateral Interest (after taking into account any
adjustments to be
made on such Transfer Date pursuant to Sections 4.10 and
4.12) over the
Required Collateral Interest on such Transfer Date, and (2)
the excess,
if any, of (i) the Available Investor Principal Collections
on such
Transfer Date over (ii) the sum of the Class A Monthly
Principal and the
Class B Monthly Principal for 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 Collateral 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 Collateral 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
into the Finance Charge Account for the related Monthly
Period will be
distributed on each Transfer Date in the following priority:

          (i) an amount equal to Class A Monthly Interest
for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class A Deficiency
Amount
for such 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:

          (i) an amount equal to the Class B Monthly
Interest for such
Transfer Date, plus the amount of any Class B Deficiency
Amount
for such 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Interest
Servicing Fee
for such Transfer Date plus the amount of any Collateral
Interest
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 Collateral Monthly
Principal for
such Transfer Date shall be distributed to the Collateral
Interest
Holder in accordance with the Loan Agreement;

          (ii) 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 subsection 4.09(d)(i) 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) 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-J; and

          (iii) 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 subsections
4.09(d)(i) and
(ii) 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)(iii)
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)(iii)
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) for each Transfer Date (other than the
Transfer Date
immediately preceding the Series 1997-J Termination Date)
and on
the Series 1997-J Termination Date, after giving effect to
the
distributions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an
amount
equal to Collateral Monthly Principal shall be distributed
to the
Collateral Interest Holder in accordance with the Loan
Agreement;

          (iv) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the
product of (1)
a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Available

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

Series 1997-J; and

          (v) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A)
the

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 (i) 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 and (ii) 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.

          (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; and

          (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.

          (iii) The Controlled Accumulation Period is
scheduled to
commence at the close of business on August 31, 2003;
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 August 2003
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; provided
further, however, that the determination of the Accumulation
Period
Length may be changed at any time if the Rating Agency
Condition is
satisfied.

          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 Collateral Interest
(after giving
effect to reductions for any Collateral 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 Collateral Interest (after
giving effect
to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated
Principal Collections on such Transfer Date) for such
Transfer Date.  In
the event that such reduction would cause the Collateral
Interest to be
a negative number, the Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral
Principal
Collections which are allocated and available to fund such
amount
pursuant to subsection 4.11(c) and Section 4.12, the
Collateral Interest
(after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral 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
Collateral
Interest (after giving effect to reductions for any
Collateral 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 Collateral Interest to be a negative number, the
Collateral
Interest will be reduced to zero and the Class B Investor
Interest will
be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral 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
Collateral
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 Collateral Default Amount.  If on any Transfer
Date, the
Collateral 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 Collateral
Interest will be
reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more than
the lesser of
the Collateral Default Amount and the Collateral Interest
for such
Transfer Date (a "Collateral Charge-Off").  The Collateral
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 Collateral
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
Collateral 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 the Collateral Monthly
Interest plus
the amount of any past due Collateral Monthly Interest for
such Transfer
Date will be paid to the Collateral Interest Holder in
accordance with
the Loan Agreement;

          (f) if the Seller or The Bank of New York is the
Servicer,
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but
unpaid Collateral
Interest Servicing Fees will be paid to the Servicer;

          (g) an amount equal to the Collateral 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
Collateral Interest has been reduced below the Required
Collateral
Interest for reasons other than the payment of principal to
the
Collateral Interest Holder (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; and

          (j) the balance, if any, after giving effect to
the payments
made pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (i) above shall
be
distributed in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

          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 Collateral
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 Collateral 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 Collateral Interest
shall be
reduced by the amount of Reallocated Collateral 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
Collateral Interest (after giving effect to any Collateral
Charge-Offs
for such Transfer Date) to be a negative number, the
Collateral Interest
(after giving effect to any Collateral 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 Collateral 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-J 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-J
with respect to any Transfer Date shall mean an amount equal
to the
Series Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series
1997-J 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-J 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-J 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 the termination of
the
Principal Funding Account make deposits into the Principal
Funding
Account in the amounts 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 each Transfer Date with respect to the
Controlled
Accumulation Period and on the first Transfer Date with
respect to the
Rapid Amortization 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 up 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); and

          (ii) an amount up 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).

          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 up 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); and

          (ii) an amount up 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).

          (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
pay in
accordance with the Loan Agreement, 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-J
Certificateholders
that are payable from the Reserve Account as provided
herein, shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay in accordance with
the Loan
Agreement, 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 one-month 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 one-
month 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-J 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
Agreement shall read in its entirety as follows and shall be

duly to observe or perform in any material respect any
covenants or
agreements of the Seller set forth in the Agreement or this

failure has a
material adverse effect on the Series 1997-J
Certificateholders (which
determination shall be made without reference to whether any
funds are
available under the Collateral Interest) 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-
J, and

of the Series
1997-J Certificateholders (which determination shall be made

Interest) for such period;

          (b) any representation or warranty made by the

period;
provided, however, that a Series 1997-J Pay Out Event
pursuant to this

consists of a portfolio of MasterCard registered trademark
and VISA
registered trademark credit card receivables generated or
acquired by
MBNA America Bank, National Association and other assets and
interests
constituting the Trust under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement
described below.

(Not an interest in or obligation of

or any Affiliate thereof.)

          This certifies that CEDE & CO. (the "Class A
Certificateholder") is the registered owner of an Undivided
Interest in
a trust (the "Trust"), the corpus of which consists of a
portfolio of

accounts (the "Accounts") of MBNA America Bank, National
Association, a
national banking association organized under the laws of the
United
States, all monies due or to become due in payment of the

(including all Finance Charge Receivables but excluding

any charged-off Receivables), the right to certain amounts
received as
Interchange with respect to the Accounts, the benefits of
the Collateral
Interest and the other assets and interests constituting the
Trust
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
August 4,
1994, as amended as of March 11, 1996, as supplemented by
the Series

(collectively, the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and between MBNA
America Bank,
National Association, as Seller (the "Seller") and as
Servicer (the
"Servicer"), and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), a

action
inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1997-J

1997-J
Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Series 1997-
J
Certificate Owner acquiring an interest in a Series 1997-J
Certificate
through it to comply with the Pooling and Servicing
