Item 6.02.                      Change of Servicer or Trustee.
 
On January 1, 2013, ADS Alliance Data Systems, Inc. (“ADSI”) assigned all of its right, title, interest to and obligations under the service agreement between ADSI and Comenity Bank (formerly known as World Financial Network Bank and successor in interest by conversion to World Financial Network National Bank, the “Bank”) to Comenity Servicing LLC (“Comenity Servicing”) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of the Fourth Amended and Restated Service Agreement, among the Bank, ADSI and Comenity Servicing LLC, a copy of which is filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
 
As of January 1, 2013, all of the servicing functions described in the Prospectus dated October 1, 2012 (the “Prospectus”) as being performed by ADSI, as sub-servicer, will be performed by Comenity Servicing LLC.  Comenity Servicing is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Texas.  All of Comenity Servicing’s outstanding common stock is owned by Comenity LLC, which is owned by the Bank’s and ADSI’s ultimate parent, Alliance Data Systems Corporation (NYSE: ADS). 
 
Although Comenity Servicing is a newly created entity that does not have any independent experience servicing credit card receivables, Comenity Servicing is acquiring substantially all of the personnel and assets of ADSI that ADSI previously used to perform the customer service, billing and collections functions for the Bank.  Therefore, the servicing policies and procedures used to service the receivables owned by World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust (the “Trust”) have not changed from those described in the Prospectus.  As compensation, Comenity Servicing will receive a per-statement fee and will be reimbursed for certain of its expenses. However, these payments are solely the obligation of the Bank and are not payable from assets of the Trust.
