Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On December 21, 2004, Advanta Bank Corp. (“ABC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanta Corp. (the “Company”), and the Company, as guarantor, amended ABC’s existing lease with Carramerica Realty, L.P. for office space located in Draper, Utah effective as of December 9, 2004. The initial lease agreement was entered into on September 28, 1995 and has been amended from time to time. The current amendment increases the space that ABC is leasing, extends the current term of the lease by 5 years to April 30, 2010 and establishes the base rent payable during the term of the amendment. Beginning May 1, 2005, the base rent for the premises will be approximately $74,912 per month through April 30, 2006 and will increase each year thereafter to a maximum base rent of approximately $84,305 per month in the final year covered by the initial term of this amendment. The amendment includes the option to extend the term of the lease for the entire premises for three periods of two years each on the same terms except for the amount of base rent payable during each extension term. The Company continues to act as guarantor under the lease agreement, as amended. A complete copy of the amendment to the lease will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2004.
