Ladies and Gentlemen:

     1. Introductory. Advanta Business Receivables Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to cause Advanta Business Card Master Trust, a Delaware common law trust (the “Issuer”), to issue $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Advanta Business Card Master Trust AdvantaSeries Class A(2006-A4) Asset Backed Notes (the “Offered Notes”) and $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of AdvantaSeries Class D(2006-D2) Asset Backed Notes (the “Class D Notes”) (the Offered Notes and the Class D Notes are collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer is a common law trust formed pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Trust Agreement”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2006, between the Company and the Owner Trustee. The Notes will be issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Master Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Master Indenture, dated as of May 9, 2006, between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as supplemented by the AdvantaSeries Indenture Supplement with respect to the Notes dated as of November 1, 2004 and, with respect to the Notes, as further supplemented by the Class A(2006-A4) Terms Document and the Class D (2006-D2) Terms Document, each dated as of June 8, 2006 (the “Indenture Supplement” and together with the Master Indenture, the “Indenture”).

     The assets of the Issuer will include Receivables and payments thereon in a portfolio of MasterCard and VISA revolving business purpose credit card accounts originated by Advanta Bank Corp.

     The Receivables are transferred to the Issuer pursuant to a Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Transfer and Servicing Agreement”), between the

Company, Advanta Bank Corp. (“Advanta”), as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), and the Issuer, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2006 among the Company, the Servicer and the Issuer. The Receivables transferred to the Issuer by the Company are acquired by the Company from Advanta, pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Advanta. Advanta granted a security interest in the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Security Agreement”), between Advanta and the Indenture Trustee.

     Advanta has agreed to provide notices and perform on behalf of the Issuer certain other administrative obligations required by the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Master Indenture and each indenture supplement for each series of notes issued by the Issuer, pursuant to an Administration Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Administration Agreement”), between Advanta, as administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), and the Issuer. The Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Administration Agreement are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Transaction Documents.”

     This Underwriting Agreement is referred to herein as this “Agreement.” To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Transaction Documents.

     5. Certain Agreements of the Company and Advanta. The Company and Advanta, jointly and severally, agree with each of the Underwriters that:

          (a) The Company will prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Representative (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and will file such Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act not later than the date required by Rule 424; make no further amendment or any supplement to the Registration Statement (including any post-effective amendment and any filing under Rule 462(b) under the Act) or the Prospectus which shall be reasonably disapproved by the Representative promptly after reasonable notice thereof; will advise the Representative, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed and to furnish the Representative with copies thereof, will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Agreement and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the Offered Notes; will advise the Representative, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, will promptly use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

          (b) The Company will promptly from time to time take such action as the Representative may reasonably request to qualify the Offered Notes for offering and sale under the securities laws of such states as the Representative may request and to comply with such laws

so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such states for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Offered Notes, provided that in connection therewith neither the Company nor the Issuer shall be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or entity or to file a general consent to service of process in any state.

          (c) If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Notes is required to be delivered under the Act (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Act), any event occurs as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance and will furnish the Representative with copies thereof. Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.

          (n) (i) On or before the date of this Agreement, KPMG LLP shall have furnished to the Representative a letter dated the date of the Preliminary Prospectus in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, containing a statement to the effect that KPMG LLP is an independent public accountant with respect to the Company and Advanta, as defined in the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and to the effect that they have performed certain specified procedures requested by the Underwriters with respect to the information set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus; and (ii) on or before the Closing Date, KPMG LLP will furnish to the Representative a supplemental letter dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, containing a statement to the effect that KPMG LLP performed certain specified procedures requested by the Underwriters with respect to the information in the Prospectus.

          (o) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus, there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the Company or Advanta (other than as contemplated in the Registration Statement or the Preliminary Prospectus) which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, would be expected to have an adverse effect on either (a) the ability of such person to consummate the transactions contemplated by, or to perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) the Receivables that, in either case, would make it impractical or

inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Offered Notes as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto).

          (p) At the Time of Delivery, (i) the Offered Notes shall be rated by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) at “Aaa” and (ii) the Offered Notes shall be rated by Standard & Poor’s, a division of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc. (“Standard & Poor’s”) at “AAA.”

          (q) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement none of the following shall have occurred: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or state authorities; (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in hostilities, there shall have been an escalation of hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States; (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe; or (v) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets of the United States shall be such) as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Offered Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

          (r) The Representative shall have received such further information, certificates and documents as the Representative may reasonably have requested not fewer than three (3) full business days prior to the Closing Date.

     If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled in all respects when and as provided in this Agreement, if the Company or Advanta is in breach of any covenants or agreements contained herein or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled on, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company and Advanta in writing, or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing.

     8. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Company and Advanta, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, from and against (i) any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,

claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (x) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus (it being understood that such indemnification with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus does not include the omission of financing and price-dependent information, which information will of necessity only appear in the final Prospectus) or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or the Static Pool Information or any written information provided to an Underwriter by the Company or Advanta for use in any Underwriter Permitted Written Communications or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading (it being understood that with respect to Static Pool Information and information provided for use in any Underwriter Permitted Written Communications, such information shall be considered together with the information provided in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be), and will promptly reimburse each Underwriter, their respective directors and officers and each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter and such other indemnified persons in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and Advanta shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information..

          (b) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Advanta, their respective directors and officers and each person, if any who controls the Company or Advanta, as the case may be, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against (i) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, Advanta or such indemnified person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (x) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that, with respect to any Underwriter, such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and Advanta in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; and will reimburse the Company and Advanta, their respective directors and officers and each person who controls the Company or Advanta within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, Advanta and such other indemnified persons in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

          (c) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Advanta, their respective directors and officers and each person, if any who controls the Company or Advanta, as the case may be, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against (i) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, Advanta or such indemnified person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (x) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in an Underwriter Permitted Written Communications (as defined in Section 6 of this Agreement) or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in an Underwriter Permitted Written Communications a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, when considered in conjunction with all information conveyed to an investor at the Time of Sale, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and Advanta in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; and will reimburse the Company and Advanta, their respective directors and officers and each person who controls the Company or Advanta within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, Advanta and such other indemnified persons in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Underwriter will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability, arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in any Underwriter Permitted Written Communications in reliance upon and in conformity with any written information furnished to such Underwriter by the Company or Advanta for use therein or the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Company or Advanta in writing to such Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Permitted Written Communications.

          (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided further, however, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may be counsel to the indemnifying party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised in writing (with a copy to the indemnifying party) by counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have

the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys together with appropriate local counsel at any time from all indemnified parties not having actual or potential differing interests with any other indemnified party. The indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent and will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and provided that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Advanta on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Notes. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Advanta on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Advanta on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Advanta bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Offered Notes purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the

Company or Advanta on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, Advanta and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Offered Notes purchased by such Underwriter under this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

          (f) The obligations of the Company and Advanta under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and Advanta may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same term and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or Advanta who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or Advanta within the meaning of the Act.

     9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Notes hereunder at the Time of Delivery, the remaining Underwriters (the “Non-Defaulting Underwriters”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Notes by other persons within 36 hours after such default; if, however, the Non-Defaulting Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 36 hour period, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any Non-Defaulting Underwriter, Advanta or the Company, except as provided in Sections 10 and 11 herein. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, any of the Non-Defaulting Underwriters or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required change in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

     10. Reimbursement of Expenses.

          (a) If (x) no closing of the sale of the Offered Notes occurs by the Closing Date through no fault of the Company or Advanta or because the conditions set forth in Section 7 have not been met, or (y) the Underwriters terminate the engagement pursuant to Section 13 or because any conditions precedent in Section 7 have not been fulfilled, then the Company’s or Advanta’s liability to the Underwriters shall be limited to the reimbursement of the Underwriters’ expenses incurred through the date of termination for their reasonable out-of-pocket and incidental expenses excluding the fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel (except that the fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel shall be included in such reimbursement if the failure to close was caused by action of or failure to act by the Company or Advanta).

          (b) In addition, whether or not the Offered Notes are issued or sold, the Company or Advanta shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated hereby not paid by the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(c) including, without limitation, the following fees and expenses:

          (i) rating agency fees payable with respect to their ratings of the Offered Notes;

          (ii) any fees charged by the firm of independent public accountants referred to in Section 7(n);

          (iii) filing fees in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, but not limited to, the Commission;

          (iv) the Owner Trustee’s and Indenture Trustee’s fees and expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee;

          (v) 50% of the costs and expenses of preparing and filing the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus for distribution;

          (vi) the costs and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters and counsel to the underwriters for the Class A(2006-A3) Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000;

          (vii) the costs of printing or reproducing this Agreement, the Blue Sky Survey, if applicable, and any other documents (excluding the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus) in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes;

          (viii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Offered Notes under state securities laws, including the fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with the Blue Sky Survey, if applicable;

          (ix) the cost of preparing the Offered Notes;

          (x) the cost or expenses of any transfer agent or registrar;

          (xi) the costs and expenses of listing the Offered Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, if applicable (except the amount to be paid by the Underwriters in Section 10(c) below); and

          (xii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of their obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 10; provided, that neither the Company nor Advanta waives any rights to reimbursement from the Underwriters in the event of any Underwriter’s failure to perform in accordance with this Agreement.

          (c) It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in Sections 8, 10(a) and 11, the Underwriters will pay (i) securities transfer taxes on resale of any of the Offered Notes by them, (ii) any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make, (iii) the costs and expenses of listing the Offered Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange subject to a maximum amount of $2,500, (iv) 54.55% of the aggregate costs and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters and counsel to the underwriters for the Class A(2006-A3) Notes in excess of $25,000 and (v) 27.27% of the costs and expenses of preparing and filing the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus for distribution.

     11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, Advanta and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or Advanta, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or Advanta, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Notes.

     If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 10, and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Notes have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representative for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representative, including fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes, but neither Advanta nor the Company shall then be under any further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof.

     12. Notices. All statements, requests and notices hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the Representative in care of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, 4 World Financial Center, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10080, Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇; if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: General Counsel; and if to Advanta shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Advanta Bank Corp., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Treasury, provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by the Representative upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of receipt thereof.

     13. Termination.

          (a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the giving of notice at any time at or prior to the Closing Date if any of the events or conditions described in Section 7(q) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing. In the event of any such termination, the covenant set forth in the provisions of Section 10, the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 8, and the provision of Section 11 shall remain in effect.

          (b) This Agreement may not be terminated by the Company or Advanta without the written consent of the Underwriters, except in accordance with law.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Company or Advanta does not perform any obligation under this Agreement or any representation and warranty hereunder is incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect, this Agreement and all of the Underwriters’ obligations hereunder may be immediately cancelled by the Underwriters by notice thereof to the Company or Advanta. Any such cancellation shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8, 10 and 11 hereof shall survive any such cancellation.

     14. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and Advanta and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and Advanta and each person who controls the Company and Advanta or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Offered Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

     15. Representation of Underwriters. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you.

     16. Arm’s Length Business Transactions; Underwriters as Independent Contractors.

The Company and Advanta acknowledge and agree that (i) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and Advanta, on the one hand, and each of the Underwriters, on the other, and (ii) none of the Underwriters, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, has acted as an agent, advisor or fiduciary of the Company or Advanta.

     17. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

     18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     19. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

     The Company and Advanta hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     20. Miscellaneous. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
