Item 8.01     Other Events.
     On April 27, 2007, Advanta Credit Card Receivables Corp. (“ACCRC”) and Advanta Bank Corp. (“ABC”), both wholly owned subsidiaries of Advanta Corp. (the “Company”), entered into a Loan and Servicing Agreement (the “LSA”) with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as Administrative Agent and as Agent, and other Agents from time to time parties thereto (the Administrative Agent, Agent and other Agents referred to collectively, as the “Agents”). The LSA is for the purpose of funding business credit card receivables owned by ACCRC. ABC will act as servicer under the LSA. As described below, ACCRC will purchase the Receivables (defined below) from the Company. ACCRC will pledge the Receivables as collateral under the terms of the LSA and the Lenders will issue commercial paper backed by the pledged Receivables to fund advances under the LSA. The LSA allows for ACCRC to borrow up to a maximum of $100,000,000. The LSA will expire on April 15, 2008 unless it is renewed prior to that date. The LSA or any amounts borrowed under the LSA are not guaranteed by the Company or any of its affiliates.
     The business credit card receivables that will be funded by the LSA (the “Receivables”) are receivables that were or will be generated from certain business credit card accounts originated by ABC. Pursuant to a Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement between ABC and the Company, dated as of July 25, 2006, as amended, the Receivables first will have been purchased from ABC by the Company. Subsequently, the Receivables will be purchased by ACCRC from the Company pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement between the Company and ACCRC, dated as of April 27, 2007.
