     Section 2.02 Interest Payment. For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due and payable with respect to the Class A(2008-A3) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, multiplied by (B) the Class A(2008-A3) Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, multiplied by (ii) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A(2008-A3) Notes determined as of the Record Date preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Any interest on the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and a 360-day year.
     Section 2.03 Determination of One-Month LIBOR.
     (a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall determine One-Month LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a One-Month Index Maturity which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, One-Month LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars, having a One-Month Index Maturity and in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market. The Indenture Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two (2) such quotations are provided, One-Month LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two (2) quotations are provided as requested, One-Month LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks having a One-Month Index Maturity and in an amount of not less than U.S.$1,000,000; provided, that, if the banks selected by the Servicer are not quoting such rates, One-Month LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest Period will be the same as One-Month LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Period.
     (b) The Class A(2008-A3) Note Interest Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (800)  ###-###-#### or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from time to time.

     Section 2.04 Required Deposits of Available Principal Collections to the Principal Funding Account; Payment of Principal. With respect to any Payment Date, the amount to be deposited in the Principal Funding Sub-Account pursuant to Section 4.16 of the AdvantaSeries Indenture Supplement will be the amount determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) below for such Payment Date, as applicable, or if more than one such clause is applicable, the highest amount determined pursuant to any one of such clauses; provided, however, in no case shall the amount required to be deposited exceed the Class A(2008-A3) Adjusted Invested Amount (calculated immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after giving effect to any Investor Charge-Offs and any reallocations of principal on such date).
     (a) Revolving Period. On each Payment Date during the Revolving Period, the required deposit to the Principal Funding Sub-Account for the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be zero.
     (b) Accumulation Period. On each Payment Date during the Accumulation Period, the required deposit to the Principal Funding Sub-Account for the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be the Accumulation Deposit Amount for such Payment Date. The Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the close of business on October 31, 2008, provided, however, that, if the Accumulation Period Length is less than 8 months, the date on which the Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed to the close of business on the last day of the month prior to the month that is the number of whole months prior to the Expected Final Principal Payment Date which is at least equal to the Accumulation Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date twelve (12) months prior to the Expected Final Principal Payment Date and each Determination Date thereafter until the Accumulation Period begins, the Servicer shall determine the Accumulation Period Length.
     (c) Early Amortization Period. On each Payment Date during an Early Amortization Period, the required deposit to the Principal Funding Sub-Account for the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be the Adjusted Invested Amount for the Class A(2008-A3) Notes as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Monthly Period (after taking into account any reductions or increases occurring on such date).
     (d) Coverage Funding of the Principal Funding Account of Senior Classes. If the Transferor determines as of the end of the related Monthly Period that, after giving effect to all allocations and payments with respect to that Monthly Period, the Coverage Funding Required Amount of the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be greater than zero, the required deposit to the Principal Funding Sub-Account for the Class A(2008-A3) Notes will be the Coverage Funding Required Amount for such Class A(2008-A3) Notes.
