                  (b)      Section 2.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

                           statements have been prepared in the past for their internal use.

                           (h)      Section 1.1 of the  Supplement is hereby  amended by deleting the  definition of the term
                           “Servicing Term” in its entirety and inserting a new definition to read as follows:

                           “Servicing  Term” means a period of time  beginning on the Effective  Date and ending on such date
                           as the Owner and the  Servicer  shall  mutually  agree,  or such  earlier  date as the  Servicer’s
                           functions hereunder are terminated pursuant to any other provision hereof.

                  (c)      Exhibit A attached to the Agreement is hereby  deleted in its entirety and replaced as of November
1, 2001 with  Exhibit A attached to this  Amendment.  For the  avoidance  of doubt,  the parties  acknowledge  that Exhibit A

parties agree that the  provisions of Section 7.01 of the Credit  Agreement and the  definition of “Trigger  Event” set forth
in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall not apply to the Servicer.

                  SECTION 2.  Other Matters.

(a)      Notwithstanding  anything  set forth in the  Servicing  Agreement,  the Owner  shall be entitled  to  terminate  the
Servicing  Agreement,  at any time without  penalty or the payment of any breakage  fees, 60 days  following such time as the
Owner shall notify the  Servicer of such  termination;  provided  that  Servicer  shall be allowed to continue to service any
Designated  Receivable,  and  concurrently  receive or collect any Additional or Base Servicing Fee owing thereon,  which (at
the time of  termination,  disposition  or removal)  has:  (i) been placed with a Third Party  (including  but not limited to
National  Attorney Network or [***]),  or (ii) received a payment within ninety (90) days of Servicer’s  receipt
of  notice of  termination  (except  as set  forth in the final  clause of this  paragraph).  To the  extent  any  Designated
Receivable  has been placed with a Third  Party,  Servicer  shall be entitled to service and receive a servicing  fee thereon
until  such time as the  assigned  Third  Party  determines  (in its  reasonable  and sole  discretion)  that the  Designated
Receivable  is  uncollectible,  or with  respect to any  Designated  Receivable,  Servicer  shall be  entitled to service and
receive a servicing  fee thereon  for so long as any payment is received at any time during any  consecutive  ninety (90) day
period  thereafter  unless  Owner’s  termination of the Servicing  Agreement is due to (a) Servicer’s  failure to comply with
clause (ii) or (iii) of Section  2.04(a) of the  Original  Servicing  Agreement  relating  to  maintenance  of  licenses  and
compliance  with  applicable  laws, or (b) the bankruptcy  (either  voluntary or  involuntary)  of the Servicer or its parent
company.

                  (b)      The Owner hereby waives any Event of Default  arising from the  Servicer’s  failure to comply with
Section  4.4(c) of the  Supplement  or  Sections  2.05(b) or (c) of the  Original  Servicing  Agreement,  provided  that such
non-compliance is cured by no later than January 1, 2002.

                  (c)      The Owner  hereby  approves  of the  transactions  described  in the Credit  Card Joint  Marketing
Agreement,  dated as of November 9, 2001,  by and among the Owner,  the  Servicer  and [***].  The Owner shall be entitled to
receive [***]% of all amounts received by the Servicer from [***] under such Agreement.

                  (d)      Except as herein  expressly  amended,  the Agreement is ratified and confirmed in all respects and
shall remain in full force and effect in  accordance  with its terms.  Each  reference in the  Agreement to "this  Agreement"
shall mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment Agreement, and as hereinafter amended or restated.

                  (e)      This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first written above.
