Re: Advanta Revolving Home Equity Loan Trust 2000-A
Sale and Servicing Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of April
1, 2000 (the "Agreement") among Advanta Conduit Receivables, Inc. as Sponsor,
Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA, as master servicer ("AMCUSA"), Advanta Revolving
Home Equity Loan Trust 2000-A (the "Trust") and Bankers Trust Company of
California, N.A. as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), AMCUSA, in its
capacity as master servicer, has undertaken certain financial obligations with
respect to its servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to,
the making of Servicing Advances. In addition, the Sponsor has, in the
Agreement, undertaken certain financial obligations, including, but not limited
to, the payment of the Loan Reacquisition Price relating to the repurchase of
non-qualifying Mortgage Loans, the payment of Substitution Amounts in connection
with the substitution of Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loans and the payment of
certain expenses of the Trust. Any financial obligations of AMCUSA or the
Sponsor under the Agreement, whether or not specifically enumerated in this
paragraph, are hereinafter referred to as the "Joint and Several Obligations";
provided, however, that "Joint and Several Obligations" shall mean only the
financial obligations of AMCUSA and the Sponsor under the Agreement (including
the payment of money damages for a breach of any of AMCUSA's or the Sponsor's
obligations under the Agreement, whether financial or otherwise) but shall not
include any obligations not relating to the payment of money (e.g., the
obligation to service the Mortgage Loans).

The Insurer has required the undersigned, Advanta Mortgage
Holding Company ("AMHC"), the parent corporation of AMCUSA and the indirect
corporate parent of the Sponsor, to acknowledge its joint-and-several liability
with AMCUSA and the Sponsor for the payment of the Joint and Several Obligations
under the Agreement.
Now, therefore, the Trust, the Insurer and AMHC do hereby
agree that:
(i) AMHC hereby agrees to be absolutely and
unconditionally jointly and severally liable with
AMCUSA and the Sponsor to the Trust and the Insurer
for the payment of the Joint and Several Obligations
under the Agreement.
(ii) AMHC may honor its obligations hereunder either by
direct payment of any Joint and Several Obligations
or by causing any Joint and Several Obligations to be
paid to the Trust and the Insurer by AMCUSA, the
Sponsor, or another affiliate of AMHC.
This letter and the respective obligations and rights
hereunder and thereunder shall not be delegated or assigned by you without the
prior written consent of the Insurer. This letter may not be amended or
otherwise modified except pursuant to a writing signed by each of the parties
hereto. This letter may be executed by the signatories hereto in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same letter.
THIS LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION
THEREOF). EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS LETTER,
AND ANY OTHER COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR
