Prospectus Supplement Summary

This summary does not contain all the information you may need to make an informed investment decision. You should read the entire

prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before you purchase any notes.

Securities Offered

$200,000,000 Floating Rate Class B(2005-2) notes.

These Class B(2005-2) notes are part of a series of notes called the MBNAseries. The MBNAseries consists of Class A notes, Class B notes

and Class C notes. These Class B(2005-2) notes are a tranche of the Class B notes of the MBNAseries.

These Class B(2005-2) notes are issued by, and are obligations of, the MBNA Credit Card Master Note Trust. The issuer expects to issue other

classes and tranches of notes of the MBNAseries which may have different interest rates, interest payment dates, expected principal payment

dates, legal maturity dates and other characteristics. In addition, the issuer may issue other series of notes which may have different interest

rates, interest payment dates, expected principal payment dates, legal maturity dates and other characteristics. See “The Notes—Issuances of

New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” in this prospectus supplement and in the prospectus.

Each class of notes in the MBNAseries may consist of multiple tranches. Notes of any tranche can be issued on any date so long as there is

sufficient credit enhancement on that date, either in the form of outstanding subordinated notes or other forms of credit enhancement. See “The

Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” in this prospectus supplement and in the prospectus. The expected principal

payment dates and legal maturity dates of tranches of senior and subordinated classes of the MBNAseries may be different. Therefore,

subordinated notes may have expected principal payment dates and legal maturity dates earlier than some or all senior notes of the

MBNAseries. Subordinated notes will generally not be paid before their legal maturity date unless, after payment, the remaining outstanding

subordinated notes provide the credit enhancement required for the senior notes.

In general, the subordinated notes of the MBNAseries serve as credit enhancement for all of the senior notes of the MBNAseries, regardless of

whether the subordinated notes are issued before, at the same time as, or after the senior notes of the MBNAseries. However, certain tranches

of senior notes may not require subordination from each class of notes subordinated to it. For example, if a tranche of Class A notes requires

credit enhancement solely from Class C notes, the Class B notes will not, in that case, provide credit enhancement for that tranche of Class A

notes. The amount of credit exposure of any particular tranche of notes is a function of, among other things, the total amount of notes issued,

the required subordinated amount, the amount of usage of the required subordinated amount and the amount on deposit in the senior tranches’

principal funding subaccounts.

S-5

Table of Contents

Only the Class B(2005-2) notes are being offered through this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Other series,

classes and tranches of notes, including other tranches of notes that are included in the MBNAseries as a part of the Class B notes, may

be issued by the MBNA Credit Card Master Note Trust in the future.

The MBNAseries

These Class B(2005-2) notes are expected to be the sixteenth tranche of Class B notes outstanding in the MBNAseries.

See “Annex I: Outstanding Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” for information on the other outstanding notes issued by the issuer. In

addition, Annex I contains information about the Class A(2005-5) notes, which are expected to be issued by the issuer.

Risk Factors

Investment in the Class B(2005-2) notes involves risks. You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page S-15 in this

prospectus supplement and beginning on page 15 in the accompanying prospectus.

Interest

These Class B(2005-2) notes will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus [•]%, as determined on the related LIBOR

determination date.

Interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes will begin to accrue on August [•], 2005 and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the

actual number of days in the related interest period. Each interest period will begin on and include an interest payment date and end on but

exclude the next interest payment date. However, the first interest period will begin on and include August [•], 2005, which is the issuance

date, and end on but exclude September 15, 2005, which is the first interest payment date for these Class B(2005-2) notes.

Interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes for any interest payment date will equal the product of:

 the Class B(2005-2) note interest rate for the applicable interest period; times

 the actual number of days in the related interest period divided by 360; times

 the outstanding dollar principal amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes as of the related record date.

The issuer will make interest payments on these Class B(2005-2) notes on the 15th day of each month, beginning in September 2005. Interest

payments due on a day that is not a business day in New York, New York and Newark, Delaware will be made on the following business day.

The payment of interest on a senior class of notes on any payment date is senior to the payment of interest on subordinated classes of notes of

the MBNAseries on such date. Generally, no payment of interest will be made on any Class B note in the MBNAseries until the required

payment of interest has been made to the Class A notes in the MBNAseries. Similarly, generally, no payment of interest will be made on any

Class C note in the MBNAseries until the required payment of interest has been made to the Class A notes and the Class B notes in the

MBNAseries. However, funds on deposit in the Class C reserve account will

be available only to holders of Class C notes

S-6

Table of Contents

to cover shortfalls of interest on any interest payment date.

Principal

The issuer expects to pay the stated principal amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes in one payment on July 15, 2010, which is the expected

principal payment date, and is obligated to do so if funds are available for that purpose and not required for subordination. If the stated

principal amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes is not paid in full on the expected principal payment date due to insufficient funds or

insufficient credit enhancement, noteholders will generally not have any remedies against the issuer until December 17, 2012, the legal

maturity date of these Class B(2005-2) notes.

If the stated principal amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes is not paid in full on the expected principal payment date, then an early

redemption event will occur with respect to these Class B(2005-2) notes and, subject to the principal payment rules described below under “—

Subordination; Credit Enhancement” and

“—Required Subordinated Amount,” principal and interest payments on these Class B(2005-2) notes will be made monthly until they are paid

in full or until the legal maturity date occurs, whichever is earlier.

Principal of these Class B(2005-2) notes may be paid earlier than the expected principal payment date if any other early redemption event or

an event of default and acceleration occurs with respect to these Class

B(2005-2) notes. See “The Indenture—Early Redemption Events” and “—Events of Default” in the prospectus and “The Notes—Early

Redemption of the Notes” in this prospectus supplement.

Nominal Liquidation Amount

The initial nominal liquidation amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes is $200,000,000.

The nominal liquidation amount of a tranche of notes corresponds to the portion of the investor interest of the collateral certificate that is

allocable to support that tranche of notes. If the nominal liquidation amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes is reduced by:

 reallocations of available principal amounts to pay interest on a senior class of the MBNAseries or a portion of the master trust II servicing

fee allocable to the MBNAseries; or

 charge-offs resulting from uncovered defaults on the principal receivables in master trust II allocable to the MBNAseries,

the principal of and interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes may not be paid in full. If the nominal liquidation amount of these Class B(2005-2)

notes has been reduced, available principal amounts and available funds allocated to pay principal of and interest on these Class B(2005-2)

notes will be reduced.

For a more detailed discussion of nominal liquidation amount, see “The Notes—Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal

Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount” in the prospectus.

Subordination; Credit Enhancement

These Class B(2005-2) notes generally will not receive interest payments on any payment date until the Class A notes have received their full

interest payments on such date. Available principal amounts allocable to these Class B(2005-2) notes may be

S-7

Table of Contents

applied to make interest payments on the Class A notes of the MBNAseries or to pay a portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to

the MBNAseries. Available principal amounts remaining on any payment date after any reallocations for interest on the senior classes of notes

or for a portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries will be first applied to make targeted deposits to the principal

funding subaccounts of senior classes of notes on such date before being applied to make required deposits to the principal funding

subaccounts of the subordinated notes on such date.

In addition, principal payments on these Class B(2005-2) notes are subject to the principal payment rules described below in “—Required

Subordinated Amount.”

Required Subordinated Amount

In order to issue a senior class of notes, the required subordinated amount of subordinated notes must be outstanding and available on the

issuance date. Generally, the required subordinated amount for a tranche of Class A notes in the MBNAseries is equal to a stated percentage of

the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of that tranche of Class A notes. Similarly, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class

C notes for each tranche of Class B notes in the MBNAseries is equal to a percentage of its adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount.

However, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes may be adjusted to reflect its pro rata

share of the portion of the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of all Class B notes in the MBNAseries which is not providing credit

enhancement to the Class A notes.

For the Class B(2005-2) notes, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes at any time is generally equal to the sum of (i)

8.10811% (referred to as the unencumbered percentage) of the Class B(2005-2) notes’ pro rata share of the excess of the adjusted outstanding

dollar principal amount of all Class B notes in the MBNAseries over the Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes for all Class

A notes in the MBNAseries and (ii) 100% (referred to as the encumbered percentage) of the remainder of the adjusted outstanding dollar

principal amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes. Therefore, for the Class B(2005-2) notes, the percentage used to calculate the required

subordinated amount will (i) increase (but will never exceed 100%) if the share of the Class B(2005-2) notes that is providing credit

enhancement to Class A notes of the MBNAseries increases and (ii) decrease (but will never be less than 8.10811%) if the share of the Class

B(2005-2) notes that is providing credit enhancement to Class A notes of the MBNAseries decreases.

For example, if the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of all Class B notes in the MBNAseries is equal to the Class A required

subordinated amount of Class B notes for all Class A notes in the MBNAseries, then the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C

notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes will be equal to 100% of the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes.

Similarly, if the Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes for all Class A notes in the MBNAseries is equal to zero, then the

Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes will be equal to 8.10811%

S-8

Table of Contents

of the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes.

For a more detailed description of how to calculate the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes,

see “The Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes—Required Subordinated Amount.”

Reductions in the adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of a tranche of senior notes of the MBNAseries will generally result in a

reduction in the required subordinated amount for that tranche. Additionally, with respect to the Class B(2005-2) notes, a reduction in its Class

B required subordinated amount of Class C notes may occur due to:

• a decrease in the aggregate adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount of the Class A notes of the MBNAseries,

• a decrease in the Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes for outstanding tranches of Class A notes of the MBNAseries, or

• the issuance of additional Class B notes of the MBNAseries,

any of which would reduce the amount of credit enhancement provided by an individual tranche of Class B notes to the Class A notes of the

MBNAseries. However, if an early redemption event or event of default and acceleration with respect to the Class B(2005-2) notes occurs, or if

on any day its Class B usage of Class C required subordinated amount exceeds zero, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C

notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes will not decrease after that early redemption event or event of default and acceleration, or the date on

which its Class B usage of Class C required subordinated amount exceeds zero.

The method of calculating the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes may change without the

consent of any noteholders if the rating agencies consent. In addition, the method of calculating the required subordinated amount of

subordinated notes of other Class B notes in the MBNAseries may be different than the method used for these Class B(2005-2) notes. In

addition, if the rating agencies consent and without the consent of any noteholders, the issuer may utilize forms of credit enhancement other

than subordinated notes in order to provide senior classes of notes with the required credit enhancement.

No payment of principal will be made on any Class B note in the MBNAseries unless, following the payment, the remaining available

subordinated amount of Class B notes in the MBNAseries is at least equal to the required subordinated amount for the outstanding Class A

notes in the MBNAseries less any usage of the required subordinated amount of Class B notes for such outstanding Class A notes. Similarly,

no payment of principal will be made on any Class C note in the MBNAseries unless, following the payment, the remaining available

subordinated amount of Class C notes in the MBNAseries is at least equal to the required subordinated amount for the outstanding Class A

notes and Class B notes in the MBNAseries less any usage of the required subordinated amount of Class C notes for such outstanding Class A

notes and Class B notes. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. See “The Notes— Subordination of Interest and Principal” in

S-9

Table of Contents

this prospectus supplement and in the prospectus.

Early Redemption of Notes

The early redemption events applicable to all notes, including these Class B(2005-2) notes, are described in the accompanying prospectus. In

addition, if for any date the amount of excess available funds averaged over the three preceding calendar months is less than the required

excess available funds for such date, an early redemption event for the Class B(2005-2) notes will occur. Excess available funds for any month

equals the available funds allocated to the MBNAseries that month after application for targeted deposits to the interest funding account,

payment of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries, application to cover defaults on principal receivables in master trust

II allocable to the MBNAseries and reimbursement of any deficits in the nominal liquidation amounts of notes. Required excess available

funds is an amount equal to zero. This amount may be changed provided the issuer (i) receives the consent of the rating agencies and

(ii) reasonably believes that the change will not have a material adverse effect on the notes. See “The Notes—Early Redemption of Notes” and

“The Indenture—Early Redemption Events” in the prospectus.

Optional Redemption by the Issuer

The servicer has the right, but not the obligation, to direct the issuer to redeem these Class B(2005-2) notes in whole but not in part on any day

on or after the day on which the nominal liquidation amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes is reduced to less than 5% of their highest

outstanding dollar principal amount. This repurchase option is referred to as a clean-up call.

The issuer will not redeem subordinated notes if those notes are required to provide credit enhancement for senior classes of notes of the

MBNAseries. If the issuer is directed to redeem these Class B(2005-2) notes, it will notify the registered holders at least thirty days prior to the

redemption date. The redemption price of a note will equal 100% of the outstanding principal amount of that note, plus accrued but unpaid

interest on the note to but excluding the date of redemption.

If the issuer is unable to pay the redemption price in full on the redemption date, monthly payments on these Class B(2005-2) notes will

thereafter be made, subject to the principal payment rules described above under “—Subordination; Credit Enhancement,” until either the

principal of and accrued interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes are paid in full or the legal maturity date occurs, whichever is earlier. Any

funds in the principal funding subaccount and the interest funding subaccount for these Class B(2005-2) notes will be applied to make the

principal and interest payments on these notes on the redemption date.

Events of Default

The Class B(2005-2) notes are subject to certain events of default described in “The Indenture—Events of Default” in the prospectus. For a

description of the remedies upon an event of default, see “The Indenture—Events of Default Remedies” in the prospectus and “Deposit and

Application of Funds—Sale of Credit Card Receivables” in this prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

Master Trust II Assets and Receivables

The collateral certificate, which is the issuer’s primary source of funds for the payment of principal of and interest on these Class B(2005-2)

notes, is an investor certificate issued by master trust II. The collateral certificate represents an undivided interest in the assets of master trust

II. Master trust II’s assets primarily include credit card receivables from selected MasterCard

, Visa

and American Express

revolving credit

card accounts that meet the eligibility criteria for inclusion in master trust II. These eligibility criteria are discussed in the prospectus under

“Master Trust II—Addition of Master Trust II Assets.”

The master trust II agreement has been amended to allow the addition of credit card receivables from American Express revolving credit card

accounts that meet the eligibility criteria for inclusion in master trust II. See “MBNA and MBNA Corporation—The MBNA/American Express

Agreement” in the accompanying prospectus.

The credit card receivables in master trust II consist primarily of principal receivables and finance charge receivables. Principal receivables

include amounts charged by cardholders for merchandise and services and amounts advanced to cardholders as cash advances. Finance charge

receivables include periodic finance charges, annual membership fees, cash advance fees, late charges and certain other fees billed to

cardholders, and recoveries on receivables in defaulted accounts.

In addition, MBNA is permitted to add to master trust II participations representing interests in a pool of assets primarily consisting of

receivables arising under consumer revolving credit card accounts owned by MBNA and collections thereon.

See “The Master Trust II Portfolio” for detailed financial information on the receivables and the accounts.

See “Annex II: Outstanding Master Trust II Series” of this prospectus supplement for additional information on the outstanding series in

master trust II.

Table of Contents

Issuer Accounts

The issuer has established a principal funding account, an interest funding account, an accumulation reserve account and a Class C reserve

account for the benefit of the MBNAseries. The principal funding account, the interest funding account and the accumulation reserve account

will have subaccounts for the Class B(2005-2) notes.

Each month, distributions on the collateral certificate will be deposited into the collection account. Those deposits will then be allocated to

each series of notes, including the MBNAseries. The amounts allocated to the MBNAseries plus any other amounts to be treated as available

funds and available principal amounts for the MBNAseries will then be allocated to:

—the principal funding account;

—the interest funding account;

—the accumulation reserve account;

—the Class C reserve account;

—any other supplemental account;

—payments under any applicable derivative agreements; and

—the other purposes as specified in this prospectus supplement.

Funds on deposit in the principal funding account and the interest funding account will be used to make payments of principal of and interest

on the MBNAseries notes, including the Class B(2005-2) notes.

Security for the Notes

The Class B(2005-2) notes are secured by a shared security interest in:

• the collateral certificate;

• the collection account;

• the applicable principal funding subaccount;

• the applicable interest funding subaccount; and

• the applicable accumulation reserve subaccount.

However, the Class B(2005-2) notes are entitled to the benefits of only that portion

S-12

Table of Contents

of those assets allocated to them under the indenture and the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

See “The Notes—Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” and “—The Issuer Accounts” in this prospectus supplement

and “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” in the prospectus.

Limited Recourse to the Issuer

The sole sources of payment for principal of or interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes are provided by:

• the portion of the available principal amounts and available funds allocated to the MBNAseries and available to these Class B(2005-2) notes

after giving effect to any reallocations, payments and deposits for senior notes; and

• funds in the applicable issuer accounts for these Class B(2005-2) notes.

Class B(2005-2) noteholders will have no recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the payment of principal of

or interest on these Class B(2005-2) notes.

However, following a sale of credit card receivables (i) due to an insolvency of MBNA, (ii) due to an event of default and acceleration with

respect to the Class B(2005-2) notes or (iii) on the legal maturity date for the Class B(2005-2) notes, as described in “Deposit and Application

of Funds—Sale of Credit Card Receivables” in this prospectus supplement and “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables” in the prospectus, the Class B(2005-2) noteholders have recourse only to the proceeds of that sale.

Accumulation Reserve Account

The issuer will establish an accumulation reserve subaccount to cover shortfalls in investment earnings on amounts (other than prefunded

amounts) on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for these Class

B(2005-2) notes.

The amount targeted to be deposited in the accumulation reserve subaccount for these Class B(2005-2) notes is zero, unless more than one

budgeted deposit is required to accumulate and pay the principal of the Class B(2005-2) notes on its expected principal payment date, in which

case, the amount targeted to be deposited is 0.5% of the outstanding dollar principal amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes, or such other

amount designated by the issuer. See “Deposit and Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account.”

Shared Excess Available Funds

The MBNAseries will be included in “Group A.” In addition to the MBNAseries, the issuer may issue other series of notes that are included in

Group A. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the MBNAseries is the only series of notes issued by the issuer.

To the extent that available funds allocated to the MBNAseries are available after all required applications of such amounts as described in

“Deposit and Application of Funds—Application of MBNAseries Available Funds,” these unused available funds, called shared excess

available funds,

S-13

Table of Contents

will be applied to cover shortfalls in available funds for other series of notes in Group A. In addition, the MBNAseries may receive the benefits

of shared excess available funds from other series in Group A, to the extent available funds for such other series of notes are not needed for

such series. See “Deposit and Application of Funds—Shared Excess Available Funds” in this prospectus supplement and “Sources of Funds to

Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” and “—Deposit and Application of Funds” in the prospectus.

Stock Exchange Listing

The issuer will apply to list these Class B(2005-2) notes on a stock exchange in Europe. The issuer cannot guarantee that the application for the

listing will be accepted or that, if accepted, such listing will be maintained. To determine whether these Class B(2005-2) notes are listed on a

stock exchange, you may contact the issuer at c/o Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 N. Market Street, Wilmington,

Delaware 19890-0001, telephone number: (302) 651-1284.

Ratings

The issuer will issue these Class B(2005-2) notes only if they are rated at least “A” or “A2” or its equivalent by at least one nationally

recognized rating agency.

Other tranches of Class B notes may have different rating requirements from the Class B(2005-2) notes.

A rating addresses the likelihood of the payment of interest on a note when due and the ultimate payment of principal of that note by its legal

maturity date. A rating does not address the likelihood of payment of principal of a note on its expected principal payment date. In addition, a

rating does not address the possibility of an early payment or acceleration of a note, which could be caused by an early redemption event or an

event of default. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold notes and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the

assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

See “Risk Factors—If the ratings of the notes are lowered or withdrawn, their market value could decrease” in the prospectus.

Recent Developments

On June 30, 2005, Bank of America Corporation and MBNA Corporation announced they had entered into an agreement and plan of merger.

See “MBNA and MBNA Corporation—Bank of America Corporation/MBNA Corporation Merger” in the accompanying prospectus for a

discussion of the merger agreement and its potential impact on MBNA Corporation, MBNA, master trust II and noteholders.

Table of Contents

Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed in this section and in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus describe the principal risk factors of an

investment in the Class B(2005-2) notes.

Only some of the assets of the issuer are available for

payments on any tranche of notes

The sole sources of payment of principal of and interest on your tranche of notes are provided by:

 the portion of the available principal amounts and available funds allocated to the MBNAseries and available to your

tranche of notes after giving effect to any reallocations and payments and deposits for senior notes; and

 funds in the applicable issuer accounts for your tranche of notes.

As a result, you must rely only on the particular allocated assets as security for your tranche of notes for repayment of the

principal of and interest on your notes. You will not have recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person for

payment of your notes. See “The Notes—Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes” in this prospectus supplement and “Sources of

Funds to Pay the Notes” in the accompanying prospectus.

In addition, if there is a sale of credit card receivables due to the insolvency of MBNA, due to an event of default and

acceleration or on the applicable legal maturity date, as described in “Deposit and Application of Funds—Sale of Credit

Card Receivables” in this prospectus supplement and “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables” in the accompanying prospectus, your tranche of notes has recourse only to the proceeds of that sale, any

amounts then on deposit in the issuer accounts allocated to and held for the benefit of your tranche of notes and any

amounts payable under any applicable derivative agreement.

Class B notes and Class C notes are subordinated and bear

losses before Class A notes

Class B notes of the MBNAseries are subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to Class A notes, and Class

C notes of the MBNAseries are subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to Class A notes and Class B

notes.

In the MBNAseries, available funds are first used to pay interest due to Class A noteholders, next to pay interest due to

S-15

Table of Contents

Class B noteholders, and lastly to pay interest due to Class C noteholders. If available funds are not sufficient to pay

interest on all classes of notes, the notes may not receive full payment of interest if, in the case of Class A and Class B

notes, reallocated available principal amounts, and in the case of Class C notes, amounts on deposit in the applicable Class

C reserve subaccount, are insufficient to cover the shortfall.

In the MBNAseries, available principal amounts may be reallocated to pay interest on senior classes of notes of the

MBNAseries and to pay a portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries to the extent that

available funds are insufficient to make such payments. In addition, charge-offs due to defaulted principal receivables in

master trust II allocable to the MBNAseries generally are reallocated from the senior classes to the subordinated classes of

the MBNAseries. If these reallocations of available principal amounts and charge-offs are not reimbursed from available

funds, the full stated principal amount of the subordinated classes of notes will not be repaid. See “The Notes—Stated

Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount—Nominal Liquidation

Amount” in the prospectus and “Deposit and Application of Funds—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal

Amounts” in this prospectus supplement.

In addition, after application to pay interest on senior classes of notes or to pay a portion of the master trust II servicing fee

allocable to the MBNAseries, available principal amounts are first used to pay principal due to Class A noteholders, next

to pay principal due to Class B noteholders, and lastly to pay principal due to Class C noteholders.

If there is a sale of the credit card receivables owned by master trust II due to an insolvency of MBNA or due to an event

of default and acceleration with respect to the MBNAseries, the net proceeds of the sale allocable to principal payments

with respect to the collateral certificate will generally be used first to pay amounts due to Class A noteholders, next to pay

amounts due to Class B noteholders, and lastly, to pay amounts due to Class C noteholders. This could cause a loss to

Class A, Class B or Class C noteholders if the amount available to them is not enough to pay the Class A, Class B or Class

C notes in full.

S-16

Table of Contents

Payment of Class B notes and Class C notes may be delayed or reduced due to the subordination provisions

For the MBNAseries, subordinated notes, except as noted in the following paragraph, will be paid principal only to the

extent that sufficient funds are available and such notes are not needed to provide the required subordination for senior

classes of notes of the MBNAseries. In addition, available principal amounts allocated to the MBNAseries will be applied

first to pay shortfalls in interest on senior classes of notes, then to pay a portion of the shortfall in the master trust II

servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries and then to make targeted deposits to the principal funding subaccounts of

senior classes of notes before being applied to make required deposits to the principal funding subaccounts of the

subordinated notes.

If subordinated notes reach their expected principal payment date, or an early redemption event, event of default and

acceleration or other optional or mandatory redemption occurs with respect to such subordinated notes prior to the legal

maturity date, and cannot be paid because of the subordination provisions of the MBNAseries indenture supplement,

prefunding of the principal funding subaccounts for the senior notes of the MBNAseries will begin, as described in

“Deposit and Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal

Funding Account,” and no available principal amounts will be deposited into the principal funding subaccount of, or used

to make principal payments on, the subordinated notes. After that time, the subordinated notes will be paid only if, and to

the extent that:

• enough senior notes are repaid so that the subordinated notes are no longer necessary to provide the required

subordination;

• new subordinated notes are issued so that the subordinated notes which are payable are no longer necessary to provide

the required subordination;

• the principal funding subaccounts for the senior notes are prefunded so that the subordinated notes are no longer

necessary to provide the required subordination; or

• the subordinated notes reach their legal maturity date.

This may result in a delay or loss of principal payments to holders of subordinated notes. See “Deposit and Application of

Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal

S-17

Table of Contents

Amounts to the Principal Funding Account—Prefunding of the Principal Funding Account for Senior Classes.”

Class A and Class B notes of the MBNAseries can lose their subordination under some circumstances resulting in

delayed or reduced payments to you

Subordinated notes of the MBNAseries may have expected principal payment dates and legal maturity dates earlier than

some or all of the notes of the senior classes.

If notes of a subordinated class reach their expected principal payment date at a time when they are needed to provide the

required subordination for the senior classes of the MBNAseries and the issuer is unable to issue additional notes of that

subordinated class or obtain acceptable alternative forms of credit enhancement, prefunding of the senior classes will begin

and such subordinated notes will not be paid on their expected principal payment date. The principal funding subaccounts

for the senior classes will be prefunded with available principal amounts allocable to the MBNAseries and available for

that purpose in an amount necessary to permit the payment of those subordinated notes while maintaining the required

subordination for the senior classes. See “Deposit and Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available

Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account.”

There will generally be a 29-month period between the expected principal payment date and the legal maturity date of the

subordinated notes to prefund the principal funding subaccounts of the senior classes, if necessary. Notes of a subordinated

class which have reached their expected principal payment date will not be paid until the remaining subordinated notes

provide the required subordination for the senior notes, which payment may be delayed further as other subordinated notes

reach their expected principal payment date. The subordinated notes will be paid on their legal maturity date, to the extent

that any funds are available for that purpose from proceeds of the sale of receivables or otherwise, whether or not the

senior classes of notes have been fully prefunded.

If the rate of repayment of principal receivables in master trust II were to decline during this prefunding period, then the

principal funding subaccounts for the senior classes of notes may not be fully prefunded before the legal maturity date of

the subordinated notes. In that event and only to the extent not

S-18

Table of Contents

fully prefunded, the senior classes would not have the required subordination beginning on the legal maturity date of those

subordinated notes unless additional subordinated notes of that class were issued or a sufficient amount of senior notes

have matured so that the remaining outstanding subordinated notes provide the necessary subordination.

The table under “The Master Trust II Portfolio—Principal Payment Rates” sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder

monthly principal payment rates for the master trust II portfolio during the periods shown in such table. Principal payment

rates may change due to a variety of factors including economic, social and legal factors, changes in the terms of credit

card accounts by MBNA or the addition of credit card accounts to master trust II with different characteristics. There can

be no assurance that the rate of principal repayment will remain in this range in the future.

Yield and payments on the receivables could decrease resulting in the receipt of principal payments earlier than the

expected principal payment date

There is no assurance that the stated principal amount of your notes will be paid on its expected principal payment date.

A significant decrease in the amount of credit card receivables in master trust II for any reason could result in an early

redemption event and in early payment of your notes, as well as decreased protection to you against defaults on the credit

card receivables. In addition, the effective yield on the credit card receivables owned by master trust II could decrease due

to, among other things, a change in periodic finance charges on the credit card accounts, an increase in the level of

delinquencies or increased convenience use of the card whereby cardholders pay their credit card balance in full each

month and incur no finance charges. This could reduce the amount of available funds. If the amount of excess available

funds for any three consecutive calendar months is less than the required excess available funds for such three months, an

early redemption event will occur and could result in an early payment of your notes. See “Prospectus Supplement

Summary—Early Redemption of Notes.”

See “Risk Factors” in the prospectus for a discussion of other circumstances under which you may receive principal

payments earlier or later than the expected principal payment date.

Glossary

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus use defined terms. You can find a listing of defined terms in the

“Glossary of Defined Terms” beginning on page S-63 in this prospectus supplement and beginning on page 108 in the accompanying

prospectus.

The Notes

The MBNAseries notes will be issued pursuant to the indenture and an indenture supplement. The following discussion and the

discussion under “The Notes” and “The Indenture” in the prospectus summarize the material terms of the notes, the indenture and the

MBNAseries indenture supplement. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the

provisions of the notes, the indenture and the MBNAseries indenture supplement. Neither the indenture nor the MBNAseries indenture

supplement limits the aggregate principal amount of notes that may be issued.

The MBNAseries will be included in Excess Available Funds Group A for the purpose of sharing excess available funds. The

MBNAseries notes will be issued in classes. Each class of notes may have multiple tranches which may be issued at different times and have

different terms. Whenever a “class” of notes is referred to in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, it includes all

tranches of that class of notes, unless the context otherwise requires.

No senior class of the MBNAseries may be issued unless a sufficient amount of subordinated notes or other acceptable credit

enhancement has previously been issued and is outstanding. See “—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes—Required

Subordinated Amount.”

The issuer will pay principal of and interest on the Class B(2005-2) notes solely from the portion of MBNAseries Available Funds and

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts and from other amounts which are available to the Class B(2005-2) notes under the indenture and

the MBNAseries indenture supplement after giving effect to all allocations and reallocations. If those sources are not sufficient to pay the Class

B(2005-2) notes, Class B(2005-2) noteholders will have no recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the

payment of principal of or interest on those notes.

Subordination of Interest and Principal

Principal and interest payments on Class B notes and Class C notes of the MBNAseries are subordinated to payments on Class A notes

of the MBNAseries. Subordination of Class B notes and Class C notes of the MBNAseries provides credit enhancement for Class A notes of

the MBNAseries.

Principal and interest payments on Class C notes of the MBNAseries are subordinated to payments on Class A notes and Class B notes

of the MBNAseries. Subordination of Class C notes of the MBNAseries provides credit enhancement for Class A notes and Class B notes of

the MBNAseries.

S-20

Table of Contents

In addition, in the case of a discount note, the accreted principal of that note corresponding to capitalized interest will be senior or

subordinated to the same extent that principal is senior or subordinated.

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts may be reallocated to pay interest on senior classes of notes or to pay a portion of the master

trust II servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries, subject to certain limitations. In addition, charge-offs due to uncovered defaults on principal

receivables in master trust II allocable to the MBNAseries generally are reallocated from the senior classes to the subordinated classes of the

MBNAseries. See “The Notes—Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount—Nominal

Liquidation Amount” and “Master Trust II—Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges” in the prospectus.

In the MBNAseries, payment of principal may be made on a subordinated class of notes before payment in full of each senior class of

notes only under the following circumstances:

 If after giving effect to the proposed principal payment there is still a sufficient amount of subordinated notes to support the

outstanding senior notes. See “Deposit and Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to

the Principal Funding Account” and “—Allocation to Principal Funding Subaccounts.” For example, if a tranche of Class A notes has

been repaid, this generally means that, unless other Class A notes are issued, at least some Class B notes and Class C notes may be

repaid when such Class B notes and Class C notes are required to be repaid even if other tranches of Class A notes are outstanding.

 If the principal funding subaccounts for the senior classes of notes have been sufficiently prefunded as described in “Deposit and

Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account—Prefunding

of the Principal Funding Account for Senior Classes.”

 If new tranches of subordinated notes are issued so that the subordinated notes that have reached their expected principal payment date

are no longer necessary to provide the required subordination.

 If the subordinated tranche of notes reaches its legal maturity date and there is a sale of credit card receivables as described in

“Deposit and Application of Funds—Sale of Credit Card Receivables.”

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts remaining after any reallocations for interest on the senior notes or for a portion of the

master trust II servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries will be applied to make targeted deposits to the principal funding subaccounts of

senior notes before being applied to make targeted deposits to the principal funding subaccounts of the subordinated notes if such remaining

amounts are not sufficient to make all required targeted deposits.

Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes

Conditions to Issuance

The issuer may issue new series, classes and tranches of notes (including additional notes of an outstanding tranche or class), so long as

the conditions to issuance listed in “The

S-21

Table of Contents

Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” in the prospectus are satisfied and so long as any increase in the targeted

deposit amount of any Class C reserve subaccount caused by such issuance will have been funded on or prior to such issuance date.

The issuer and the indenture trustee are not required to obtain the consent of any noteholder of any outstanding series, class or tranche to

issue any additional notes.

Required Subordinated Amount

No Class A notes or Class B notes may be issued unless the required subordinated amount is available at the time of its issuance. The

required subordinated amount of a tranche of a senior class of notes of the MBNAseries is the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of a

subordinated class that is required to be outstanding and available on the date when a tranche of a senior class of notes is issued.

For the Class B(2005-2) notes, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes will be an amount equal to the product of the

Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class B(2005-2) notes on such date, times the sum of:

• a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class A required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all tranches of Class A

notes for which the Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes is greater than zero which are outstanding on that date,

and the denominator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount for all tranches of Class B notes

(including the Class B(2005-2) notes) which are outstanding on that date; plus

• the product of:

— 8.10811%; times

— a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount for all tranches of Class B

notes (including the Class B(2005-2) notes) which are outstanding on that date, minus the aggregate Class A required

subordinated amount of Class B notes for all tranches of Class A notes which are outstanding on that date, and the denominator

of which is the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount for all tranches of Class B notes (including the Class

B(2005-2) notes) which are outstanding on that date.

However, on any day following an early redemption event or event of default and acceleration with respect to the Class B(2005-2) notes, or on

any day where its Class B Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount exceeds zero, the Class B required subordinated amount of Class

C notes for the Class B(2005-2) notes will be the greater of (i) the amount determined as described in the method above on such day and (ii)

the amount determined as described in the method above as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the occurrence of such

early redemption event or such event of default and acceleration, or the day on which its Class B Usage of Class C Required Subordinated

Amount exceeded zero.

S-22

Table of Contents

The issuer may change the required subordinated amount for any tranche of notes of the MBNAseries, or the method of computing the

required subordinated amount, at any time without the consent of any noteholders so long as the issuer has:

 received confirmation from each rating agency that has rated any outstanding notes that the change will not result in the reduction,

qualification or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any outstanding notes in the MBNAseries;



delivered an opinion of counsel that for federal income tax purposes (1) the change will not adversely affect the tax characterization as

debt of any outstanding series or class of investor certificates issued by master trust II that were characterized as debt at the time of

their issuance, (2) following the change, master trust II will not be treated as an association, or a publicly traded partnership, taxable as

a corporation, and (3) such change will not cause or constitute an event in which gain or loss would be recognized by any holder of an

investor certificate issued by master trust II; and

 delivered an opinion of counsel that for federal income tax purposes (1) the change will not adversely affect the tax characterization as

debt of any outstanding series, class or tranche of notes of the issuer that were characterized as debt at the time of their issuance, (2)

following the change, the issuer will not be treated as an association, or publicly traded partnership, taxable as a corporation, and (3)

such change will not cause or constitute an event in which gain or loss would be recognized by any holder of such notes.

In order to issue Class A notes, the issuer must calculate the available amount of Class B notes and Class C notes. The issuer will first

calculate the amount of Class B notes available for such new tranche of Class A notes. This is done by computing the following:

 the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all tranches of outstanding Class B notes on that date, after giving effect to any issuances,

deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to Class B notes to be made on that date; minus

 the aggregate amount of the Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes for all other Class A notes which are outstanding

on that date, after giving effect to any issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to Class A notes to be

made on that date.

The calculation in the prior paragraph will also be made in the same manner for calculating the amount of Class C notes available for

Class A notes.

Additionally, in order to issue Class A notes, the issuer must calculate the amount of Class C notes available for Class B notes. This is

done by computing the following:

• the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all tranches of outstanding Class C notes on that date, after giving effect to any issuances,

deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to Class C notes to be made on that date; minus

• the aggregate amount of the Class A required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all tranches of Class A notes for which the

Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes is equal to zero which are outstanding on that date, after giving effect

S-23

Table of Contents

to any issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to Class A notes to be made on that date.

In order to issue Class B notes, the issuer must calculate the available amount of Class C notes. This is done by computing the

following:

 the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all tranches of Class C notes which are outstanding on that date, after giving effect to any

issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to Class C notes to be made on that date; minus

 the sum of:

—the aggregate amount of the Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all other tranches of Class B notes which

are outstanding on that date, after giving effect to any issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to

any MBNAseries notes to be made on that date; plus

—the aggregate amount of the Class A required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all tranches of Class A notes for which the

Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes is equal to zero which are outstanding on that date, after giving effect to

any issuances, deposits, allocations, reallocations or payments with respect to those Class A notes to be made on that date.

Waiver of Issuance Conditions

If the issuer obtains confirmation from each rating agency that has rated any outstanding notes that the issuance of a new series, class or

tranche of notes will not cause a reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any outstanding notes rated by that rating agency, then

some of the conditions to issuance described above and under “The Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” in the

prospectus may be waived.

Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes

The Collateral Certificate

The primary source of funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the notes is the collateral certificate issued by master trust II

to the issuer. For a description of the collateral certificate, master trust II and its assets, see “Master Trust II” and “Sources of Funds to Pay the

Notes—The Collateral Certificate” in the prospectus.

Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties

The issuer may enter into derivative agreements with respect to certain tranches of the MBNAseries as a source of funds to pay principal

of or interest on the notes. See “Deposit and Application of Funds—Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Interest on

Foreign Currency Notes” and “—Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Principal.” The issuer has not entered into such a

derivative agreement for the Class B(2005-2) notes.

S-24

Table of Contents

The Issuer Accounts

The issuer has established a principal funding account, an interest funding account and an accumulation reserve account for the benefit

of the MBNAseries, which will have subaccounts for each tranche of notes of the MBNAseries, and a Class C reserve account, which will have

subaccounts for each tranche of Class C notes of the MBNAseries.

Each month, distributions on the collateral certificate will be deposited into the collection account, and then allocated to each series of

notes (including the MBNAseries) as described in the accompanying prospectus, and then allocated to the principal funding account, the

interest funding account, the accumulation reserve account, the Class C reserve account and any other supplemental account, to make

payments under any applicable derivative agreements and additionally as specified in “Deposit and Application of Funds.”

Funds on deposit in the principal funding account and the interest funding account will be used to make payments of principal of and

interest on the MBNAseries notes when such payments are due. Payments of interest and principal will be due in the month when the funds are

deposited into the accounts, or in later months. If interest on a note is not scheduled to be paid every month—for example, if interest on that

note is payable quarterly, semiannually or at another interval less frequently than monthly—the issuer will deposit accrued interest amounts

funded from MBNAseries Available Funds into the interest funding subaccount for that note to be held until the interest is due. See “Deposit

and Application of Funds—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Funds to the Interest Funding Account.”

If the issuer anticipates that MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will not be enough to pay the stated principal amount of a note

on its expected principal payment date, the issuer may begin to apply MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts in months before the

expected principal payment date and deposit those funds into the principal funding subaccount established for that tranche to be held until the

expected principal payment date of that note. However, since funds in the principal funding subaccount for tranches of subordinated notes will

not be available for credit enhancement for any senior classes of notes, MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will not be deposited into

the principal funding subaccount for a tranche of subordinated notes if such deposit would reduce the available subordination below the

required subordination.

If the earnings on funds in the principal funding subaccount are less than the interest payable on the portion of principal in the principal

funding subaccount for the applicable tranche of notes, the amount of such shortfall will be withdrawn from the accumulation reserve account

to the extent available, unless the amounts on deposit in the principal funding subaccount are prefunded amounts, in which case additional

finance charge collections will be allocable to the collateral certificate and the MBNAseries and will be treated as MBNAseries Available

Funds as described under “Deposit and Application of Funds—MBNAseries Available Funds” in this prospectus supplement and “Master

Trust II—Application of Collections” in the prospectus.

S-25

Table of Contents

Limited Recourse to the Issuer; Security for the Notes

The collateral certificate is allocated a portion of collections of finance charge receivables, collections of principal receivables, its share

of the payment obligation on the master trust II servicing fee and its share of defaults on principal receivables in master trust II based on the

investor percentage. The MBNAseries and the other series of notes are secured by a shared security interest in the collateral certificate and the

collection account of the issuer, but each series of notes (including the MBNAseries) is entitled to the benefits of only that portion of those

assets allocable to it under the indenture and the applicable indenture supplement. Therefore, only a portion of the collections allocated to the

collateral certificate are available to the MBNAseries. Similarly, MBNAseries notes are entitled only to their allocable share of MBNAseries

Available Funds, MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts, amounts on deposit in the applicable issuer accounts, any payments received

from derivative counterparties (to the extent not included in MBNAseries Available Funds) and proceeds of the sale of credit card receivables

by master trust II. Noteholders will have no recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the payment of principal

of or interest on the notes.

Each tranche of notes of the MBNAseries is entitled to the benefits of only that portion of the issuer’s assets allocated to that tranche

under the indenture and the MBNAseries indenture supplement. Each tranche of notes is also secured by a security interest in the applicable

principal funding subaccount, the applicable interest funding subaccount, the applicable accumulation reserve subaccount, in the case of a

tranche of Class C notes, the applicable Class C reserve subaccount and any other applicable supplemental account, and by a security interest

in any applicable derivative agreement.

Early Redemption of the Notes

The early redemption events applicable to all notes are described in “The Indenture— Early Redemption Events” in the prospectus. In

addition, if for any date the amount of Excess Available Funds averaged over the three preceding months is less than the Required Excess

Available Funds for such date, an early redemption event for the Class B(2005-2) notes will occur.

Deposit and Application of Funds

The indenture specifies how Available Funds (primarily consisting of collections of finance charge receivables allocated and paid to the

collateral certificateholder) and Available Principal Amounts (primarily consisting of collections of principal receivables allocated and paid to

the collateral certificateholder) will be allocated among the multiple series of notes secured by the collateral certificate. The MBNAseries

indenture supplement specifies how MBNAseries Available Funds (which are the MBNAseries’s share of Available Funds plus other amounts

treated as MBNAseries Available Funds) and MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts (which are the MBNAseries’s share of Available

Principal Amounts plus other amounts treated as MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts) will be deposited into the issuer accounts

established for the MBNAseries to provide for the payment of interest on and

S-26

Table of Contents

principal of MBNAseries notes as payments become due. In addition, the MBNAseries indenture supplement specifies how defaults on

principal receivables in master trust II and the master trust II servicing fee will be allocated to the collateral certificate and the MBNAseries.

The following sections summarize those provisions.

MBNAseries Available Funds

MBNAseries Available Funds will consist of the following amounts:

• The MBNAseries’s share of collections of finance charge receivables allocated and paid to the collateral certificateholder and

investment earnings on funds held in the collection account. See “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Deposit and Application of

Funds” in the prospectus.

• Withdrawals from the accumulation reserve subaccount.

If the number of months targeted to accumulate budgeted deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts for the payment of

principal on a tranche of notes is greater than one month, then the issuer will begin to fund an accumulation reserve subaccount for

such tranche. See “—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account.” The amount

targeted to be deposited in the accumulation reserve account for each month, beginning with the third month prior to the first Transfer

Date on which MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts are to be accumulated for such tranche, will be an amount equal to 0.5% of

the outstanding dollar principal amount of such tranche of notes.

On each Transfer Date, the issuer will calculate the targeted amount of principal funding subaccount earnings for each tranche of

notes, which will be equal to the amount that the funds (other than prefunded amounts) on deposit in each principal funding

subaccount would earn at the interest rate payable by the issuer—taking into account payments due under applicable derivative

agreements—on the related tranche of notes. As a general rule, if the amount actually earned on such funds on deposit is less than the

targeted amount of earnings, then the amount of such shortfall will be withdrawn from the applicable accumulation reserve subaccount

and treated as MBNAseries Available Funds for such month.

• Additional finance charge collections allocable to the MBNAseries.

The issuer will notify the servicer from time to time of the aggregate prefunded amount on deposit in the principal funding account.

Whenever there are any prefunded amounts on deposit in any principal funding subaccount, master trust II will designate an amount of

the Seller Interest equal to such prefunded amounts. On each Transfer Date, the issuer will calculate the targeted amount of principal

funding subaccount prefunded amount earnings for each tranche of notes, which will be equal to the amount that the prefunded

amounts on deposit in each principal funding subaccount would earn at the interest rate payable by the issuer—taking into account

payments due under applicable derivative agreements—on the related tranche of notes. As a general rule, if the amount actually

earned on such funds on deposit is less than the targeted amount of earnings, collections of finance charge receivables allocable to

such

designated portion of the Seller Interest up to the amount of the shortfall will be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds. See “Master

Trust II—Application of Collections” in the prospectus.

• Investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the principal funding account, interest funding account and accumulation reserve

account for the MBNAseries.

• Any shared excess available funds allocable to the MBNAseries.

See “—Shared Excess Available Funds” in this prospectus supplement.

• Amounts received from derivative counterparties.

Unless otherwise specified in the MBNAseries indenture supplement, payments received under derivative agreements for interest on

notes of the MBNAseries payable in U.S. dollars will be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds.

Application of MBNAseries Available Funds

On each Transfer Date, the indenture trustee will apply MBNAseries Available Funds as follows:

• first, to make the targeted deposits to the interest funding account to fund the payment of interest on the notes and certain payments

due to derivative counterparties;

• second, to pay the MBNAseries’s share of the master trust II servicing fee, plus any previously due and unpaid master trust II

servicing fee allocable to the MBNAseries, to the servicer;

• third, to be treated as MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts in an amount equal to the amount of defaults on principal receivables

in master trust II allocated to the MBNAseries for the preceding month;

• fourth, to be treated as MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts in an amount equal to the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits, if

any, of MBNAseries notes;

• fifth, to make the targeted deposit to the accumulation reserve account, if any;

• sixth, to make the targeted deposit to the Class C reserve account, if any;

• seventh, to make any other payment or deposit required by any class or tranche of MBNAseries notes;

• eighth, to be treated as shared excess available funds; and

• ninth, to the issuer.

Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Funds to the Interest Funding Account

The aggregate deposit targeted to be made each month to the interest funding account will be equal to the sum of the interest funding

account deposits targeted to be made for each tranche of notes set forth below. The deposit targeted for any month will also include any

shortfall in the targeted deposit from any prior month which has not been previously deposited.

 Interest Payments. The deposit targeted for any tranche of outstanding interest-bearing notes on each Transfer Date will be equal to

the amount of interest accrued on

S-28

Table of Contents

the outstanding dollar principal amount of that tranche during the period from and including the first Monthly Interest Accrual Date

in the prior month to but excluding the first Monthly Interest Accrual Date for the current month.

• Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties. If a tranche of notes has a Performing or non-Performing derivative agreement for

interest that provides for payments to the applicable derivative counterparty, in addition to any applicable stated interest as determined

under the item above, the deposit targeted for that tranche of notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the derivative

counterparty will be specified in the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

• Discount Notes. The deposit targeted for a tranche of discount notes on each Transfer Date is the amount of accretion of principal of

that tranche of notes from and including the prior Monthly Principal Accrual Date—or in the case of the first Monthly Principal

Accrual Date, from and including the date of issuance of that tranche—to but excluding the first Monthly Principal Accrual Date for

the next month.

• Specified Deposits. If any tranche of notes provides for deposits in addition to or different from the deposits described above to be

made to the interest funding subaccount for that tranche, the deposits targeted for that tranche each month are the specified amounts.

• Additional Interest. The deposit targeted for any tranche of notes that has previously due and unpaid interest for any month will

include the interest accrued on that overdue interest during the period from and including the first Monthly Interest Accrual Date in

the prior month to but excluding the first Monthly Interest Accrual Date for the current month.

Each deposit to the interest funding account for each month will be made on the Transfer Date in such month. A tranche of notes may

be entitled to more than one of the preceding deposits.

A class or tranche of notes for which credit card receivables have been sold by master trust II as described in “—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables” will not be entitled to receive any of the preceding deposits to be made from MBNAseries Available Funds after the sale has

occurred.

Allocation to Interest Funding Subaccounts

The aggregate amount to be deposited in the interest funding account will be allocated, and a portion deposited in the interest funding

subaccount established for each tranche of notes, as follows:

• MBNAseries Available Funds are at least equal to targeted amounts. If MBNAseries Available Funds are at least equal to the sum of

the deposits targeted by each tranche of notes as described above, then that targeted amount will be deposited in the interest funding

subaccount established for each tranche.

S-29

Table of Contents

• MBNAseries Available Funds are less than targeted amounts. If MBNAseries Available Funds are less than the sum of the deposits

targeted by each tranche of notes as described above, then MBNAseries Available Funds will be allocated to each tranche of notes as

follows:

— first, to cover the deposits with respect to the Class A notes (including any applicable derivative counterparty payments),

— second, to cover the deposits with respect to the Class B notes (including any applicable derivative counterparty payments), and

— third, to cover the deposits with respect to the Class C notes (including any applicable derivative counterparty payments).

In each case, MBNAseries Available Funds allocated to a class will be allocated to each tranche of notes within such class pro rata

based on the ratio of:

— the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted with respect to that tranche of notes, to

— the aggregate amount of the deposits targeted with respect to all tranches of notes in such class.

Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Interest on Foreign Currency Notes

Payments received under derivative agreements for interest on foreign currency notes in the MBNAseries will be applied as specified in

the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

Allocations of Reductions from Charge-Offs

On each Transfer Date when there is a charge-off for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II allocable to the

MBNAseries for the prior month, that reduction will be allocated (and reallocated) on that date to each tranche of notes as set forth below:

Initially, the amount of such charge-off will be allocated to each tranche of outstanding notes pro rata based on the ratio of the

Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche for the prior month to the Weighted Average Available Funds

Allocation Amount for the MBNAseries for the prior month.

Immediately afterwards, the amount of charge-offs allocated to the Class A notes and Class B notes will be reallocated to the Class C

notes as set forth below, and the amount of charge-offs allocated to the Class A notes and not reallocated to the Class C notes because of the

limits set forth below will be reallocated to the Class B notes as set forth below. In addition, charge-offs initially allocated to Class A notes

which are reallocated to Class B notes because of Class C usage limitations can be reallocated to Class C notes if permitted as described below.

Any amount of charge-offs which cannot be reallocated to a subordinated class as a result of the limits set forth below will reduce the nominal

liquidation amount of the tranche of notes to which it was initially allocated.

S-30

Table of Contents

Limits on Reallocations of Charge-Offs to a Tranche of Class C Notes from Tranches of Class A and Class B Notes.

No reallocations of charge-offs from a tranche of Class A notes to Class C notes may cause that tranche’s Class A Usage of Class C

Required Subordinated Amount to exceed that tranche’s Class A required subordinated amount of Class C notes.

No reallocations of charge-offs from a tranche of Class B notes to Class C notes may cause that tranche’s Class B Usage of Class C

Required Subordinated Amount to exceed that tranche’s Class B required subordinated amount of Class C notes.

The amount of charge-offs permitted to be reallocated to tranches of Class C notes will be applied to each tranche of Class C notes pro

rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount of such tranche of Class C notes for the prior month to

the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount of all Class C notes in the MBNAseries for the prior month.

No such reallocation of charge-offs will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of any tranche of Class C notes below zero.

Limits on Reallocations of Charge-Offs to a Tranche of Class B Notes from Tranches of Class A Notes.

No reallocations of charge-offs from a tranche of Class A notes to Class B notes may cause that tranche’s Class A Usage of Class B

Required Subordinated Amount to exceed that tranche’s Class A required subordinated amount of Class B notes.

The amount of charge-offs permitted to be reallocated to tranches of Class B notes will be applied to each tranche of Class B notes pro

rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for that tranche of Class B notes for the prior month to

the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all Class B notes in the MBNAseries for the prior month.

No such reallocation of charge-offs will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of any tranche of Class B notes below zero.

For each tranche of notes, the nominal liquidation amount of that tranche will be reduced by an amount equal to the charge-offs which

are allocated or reallocated to that tranche of notes less the amount of charge-offs that are reallocated from that tranche of notes to a

subordinated class of notes.

Allocations of Reimbursements of Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits

If there are MBNAseries Available Funds available to reimburse any Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits on any Transfer Date, such

funds will be allocated to each tranche of notes as follows:

• first, to each tranche of Class A notes,

S-31

Table of Contents

• second, to each tranche of Class B notes, and

• third, to each tranche of Class C notes.

In each case, MBNAseries Available Funds allocated to a class will be allocated to each tranche of notes within such class pro rata

based on the ratio of:

—the Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit of such tranche of notes, to

—the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficits of all tranches of such class.

In no event will the nominal liquidation amount of a tranche of notes be increased above the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal

Amount of such tranche.

Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts

On each Transfer Date, the indenture trustee will apply MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts as follows:

 first, for each month, if MBNAseries Available Funds are insufficient to make the full targeted deposit into the interest funding

subaccount for any tranche of Class A notes, then MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount not to exceed the sum of

the investor percentage of collections of principal receivables allocated to the Class B notes and the Class C notes for each day during

such month) will be allocated to the interest funding subaccount of each such tranche of Class A notes pro rata based on, in the case of

each such tranche of Class A notes, the lesser of:

— the amount of the deficiency of the targeted amount to be deposited into the interest funding subaccount of such tranche of Class A

notes, and

— an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes plus the Class A Unused Subordinated

Amount of Class B notes for such tranche of Class A notes (determined after giving effect to the allocation of charge-offs for

uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II);

 second, for each month, if MBNAseries Available Funds are insufficient to make the full targeted deposit into the interest funding

subaccount for any tranche of Class B notes, then MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount not to exceed the sum of

the investor percentage of collections of principal receivables allocated to the Class B notes and the Class C notes for each day during

such month minus the aggregate amount of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts reallocated as described in the first clause

above) will be allocated to the interest funding subaccount of each such tranche of Class B notes pro rata based on, in the case of each

such tranche of Class B notes, the lesser of:

—the amount of the deficiency of the targeted amount to be deposited into the interest funding subaccount of such tranche of Class B

notes, and

—an amount equal to the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes for such tranche of Class B notes (determined after

giving effect to the allocation of

S-32

Table of Contents

charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II and the reallocation of MBNAseries Available

Principal Amounts as described in the first clause above);

 third, for each month, if MBNAseries Available Funds are insufficient to pay the portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable

to the MBNAseries, then MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount not to exceed the sum of the investor percentage of

collections of principal receivables allocated to the Class B

notes and the Class C notes for each day during such month minus the aggregate amount of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts

reallocated as described in the first and second clauses above) will be paid to the servicer in an amount equal to, and allocated to each

such tranche of Class A notes pro rata based on, in the case of each tranche of Class A notes, the lesser of:

— the amount of the deficiency times the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche for such

month to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the MBNAseries for such month, and

— an amount equal to the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes plus the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of

Class B notes for such tranche of Class A notes (determined after giving effect to the allocation of charge-offs for uncovered defaults

on principal receivables in master trust II and the reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts as described in the first

and second clauses above);

 fourth, for each month, if MBNAseries Available Funds are insufficient to pay the portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable

to the MBNAseries, then MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts (in an amount not to exceed the sum of the investor percentage of

collections of principal receivables allocated to the Class B notes and the Class C notes for each day during such month minus the

aggregate amount of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts reallocated as described in the first, second and third clauses above)

will be paid to the servicer in an amount equal to, and allocated to each tranche of Class B notes pro rata based on, in the case of each

such tranche of Class B notes, the lesser of:

— the amount of the deficiency times the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche for such

month to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for the MBNAseries for such month, and

— an amount equal to the Class B Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes for such tranche of Class B notes (determined after

giving effect to the allocation of charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II and the reallocation of

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts as described in the preceding clauses);

 fifth, to make the targeted deposits to the principal funding account as described below under “—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries

Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account;” and

 sixth, to the issuer for reinvestment in the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate.

S-33

Table of Contents

A tranche of notes for which credit card receivables have been sold by master trust II as described in “—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables” will not be entitled to receive any further allocations of MBNAseries Available Funds or MBNAseries Available Principal

Amounts.

The Investor Interest of the collateral certificate is the sum of the nominal liquidation amounts of each tranche of notes issued by the

issuer and outstanding and, therefore, will be

reduced by the amount of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts used to make deposits into the interest funding account, payments to the

servicer and deposits into the principal funding account. If the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate is reduced because MBNAseries

Available Principal Amounts have been used to make deposits into the interest funding account or payments to the servicer or because of

charge-offs due to uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II, the amount of Available Funds and Available Principal

Amounts allocated to the collateral certificate and the amount of MBNAseries Available Funds and MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts

will be reduced unless the reduction in the Investor Interest is reimbursed from amounts described above in the fourth item in “—Application of

MBNAseries Available Funds.”

Reductions to the Nominal Liquidation Amount of Subordinated Classes from Reallocations of MBNAseries Available Principal

Amounts

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the interest funding subaccount of a tranche of Class A

notes as described in the first clause of “—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” will reduce the nominal liquidation

amount of the Class C notes. However, the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A notes will not exceed the Class A

Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes for such tranche of Class A notes.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the interest funding subaccount of a tranche of Class A

notes as described in the first clause of “—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” which does not reduce the nominal

liquidation amount of Class C notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of the Class B notes.

However, the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A notes will not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of

Class B notes for such tranche of Class A notes, and such reductions in the nominal liquidation amount of the Class B notes may be reallocated

to the Class C notes if permitted as described below.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts deposited to the interest funding subaccount of a tranche of Class B

notes as described in the second clause of “—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” will reduce the nominal liquidation

amount (determined after giving effect to the preceding paragraphs) of the Class C notes.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts paid to the servicer as described in the third clause of “—Application of

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” will reduce the nominal liquidation amount (determined after giving effect to the preceding

S-34

Table of Contents

paragraphs) of the Class C notes. However, the amount of such reduction for each such tranche of Class A notes will not exceed the Class A

Unused Subordinated Amount of Class C notes for such tranche of Class A notes (after giving effect to the preceding paragraphs).

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts paid to the servicer as described in the third clause of “—Application of

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts”

which does not reduce the nominal liquidation amount of Class C notes as described above will reduce the nominal liquidation amount

(determined after giving effect to the preceding paragraphs) of the Class B notes. However, the amount of such reduction for each such tranche

of Class A notes will not exceed the Class A Unused Subordinated Amount of Class B notes for such tranche of Class A notes (after giving

effect to the preceding paragraphs), and such reductions in the nominal liquidation amount of the Class B notes may be reallocated to the Class

C notes if permitted as described below.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts paid to the servicer as described in the fourth clause of “—Application

of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” will reduce the nominal liquidation amount (determined after giving effect to the preceding

paragraphs) of the Class C notes.

Subject to the following paragraph, each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduces the nominal

liquidation amount of Class B notes as described above

will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of each tranche of the Class B notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available

Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class B notes for the related month to the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation

Amount for all Class B notes for the related month. However, any allocation of any such reduction that would otherwise have reduced the

nominal liquidation amount of a tranche of Class B notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining tranches of Class B notes in the

manner set forth in this paragraph.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduces the nominal liquidation amount of Class B notes as

described in the preceding paragraph may be reallocated to the Class C notes and such reallocation will reduce the nominal liquidation amount

of the Class C notes. However, the amount of such reallocation from each tranche of Class B notes will not exceed the Class B Unused

Subordinated Amount of Class C notes for such tranche of Class B notes.

Each reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts which reduces the nominal liquidation amount of Class C notes as

described above will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of each tranche of the Class C notes pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted

Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for such tranche of Class C notes for the related month to the Weighted Average Available Funds

Allocation Amount for all Class C notes for the related month. However, any allocation of any such reduction that would otherwise have

reduced the nominal liquidation amount of a tranche of Class C notes below zero will be reallocated to the remaining tranches of Class C notes

in the manner set forth in this paragraph.

S-35

Table of Contents

None of such reallocations will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of any tranche of Class B or Class C notes below zero.

For each tranche of notes, the nominal liquidation amount of that tranche will be reduced by the amount of reductions which are

allocated or reallocated to that tranche less the amount of reductions which are reallocated from that tranche to notes of a subordinated class.

Limit on Allocations of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts and MBNAseries Available Funds

Each tranche of notes will be allocated MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts and MBNAseries Available Funds solely to the

extent of its nominal liquidation amount. Therefore, if the nominal liquidation amount of any tranche of notes has been reduced due to

reallocations of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to cover payments of interest or the master trust II servicing fee or due to charge-

offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II, such tranche of notes will not be allocated MBNAseries Available

Principal Amounts or MBNAseries Available Funds to the extent of such reductions. However, any funds in the applicable principal funding

subaccount, any funds in the applicable interest funding subaccount, any amounts payable from any applicable derivative agreement, any funds

in the applicable accumulation reserve subaccount, and in the case of Class C notes, any funds in the applicable Class C reserve subaccount,

will still be available to pay principal of and interest on that tranche of notes. If the nominal liquidation amount of a tranche of notes has been

reduced due to reallocation of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on senior classes of notes or the master trust II

servicing fee, or due to charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II, it is possible for that tranche’s nominal

liquidation amount to be increased by allocations of MBNAseries Available Funds. However, there are no assurances that there will be any

MBNAseries Available Funds for such allocations.

Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account

The amount targeted to be deposited into the principal funding account in any month will be the highest of the following amounts.

However, no amount will be deposited into the principal funding subaccount for any subordinated note unless following such deposit the

remaining available subordinated amount is equal to the aggregate unused subordinated amount for all outstanding senior notes.



Principal Payment Date. For the month before any principal payment date of a tranche of notes, the deposit targeted for that tranche

of notes for that month is equal to the nominal liquidation amount of that tranche of notes as of the close of business on the last day of

such month, determined after giving effect to any charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II and any

reallocations, payments or deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts occurring on the following Transfer Date.

S-36

Table of Contents



Budgeted Deposits. Each month beginning with the twelfth month before the expected principal payment date of a tranche of notes,

the deposit targeted to be made into the principal funding subaccount for a tranche of notes will be one-twelfth of the expected

outstanding dollar principal amount of that tranche of notes as of its expected principal payment date.

The issuer may postpone the date of the targeted deposits under the previous sentence. If the issuer and the servicer determine that less

than twelve months would be required to accumulate MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts necessary to pay a tranche of notes on

its expected principal payment date, using conservative historical information about payment rates of principal receivables under

master trust II and after taking into account all of the other expected payments of principal of master trust II investor certificates and

notes to be made in the next twelve months, then the start of the targeted deposits may be postponed each month by one month, with

proportionately larger targeted deposits for each month of postponement.



Prefunding of the Principal Funding Account for Senior Classes. If the issuer determines that any date on which principal is payable

or to be deposited into a principal funding subaccount with respect to any tranche of Class C notes will occur at a time when the

payment or deposit of all or part of that tranche of Class C notes would be prohibited because it would cause a deficiency in the

remaining available subordination for the Class A notes or Class B notes, the targeted deposit amount for the Class A notes and Class

B notes will be an amount equal to the portion of the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A notes and Class B

notes that would have to cease to be outstanding in order to permit the payment of or deposit with respect to that tranche of Class C

notes.

If the issuer determines that any date on which principal is payable or to be deposited into a principal funding subaccount with respect

to any Class B notes will occur at a time when the payment or deposit of all or part of that tranche of Class B notes would be

prohibited because it would cause a deficiency in the remaining available subordination for the Class A notes, the targeted deposit

amount for the Class A notes will be an amount equal to the portion of the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class

A notes that would have to cease to be outstanding in order to permit the payment of or deposit with respect to that tranche of Class B

notes.

Prefunding of the principal funding subaccount for the senior tranches of the MBNAseries will continue until:

— enough senior notes are repaid so that the subordinated notes that are payable are no longer necessary to provide the required

subordination for the outstanding senior notes;

— new subordinated notes are issued so that the subordinated notes that are payable are no longer necessary to provide the required

subordination for the outstanding senior notes; or

S-37

Table of Contents

— the principal funding subaccounts for the senior notes are prefunded so that the subordinated notes that are payable are no longer

necessary to provide the required subordination for the outstanding senior notes.

For purposes of calculating the prefunding requirements, the required subordinated amount of a tranche of a senior class of notes of the

MBNAseries will be calculated as described under “The Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes—Required

Subordinated Amount” based on its Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount on such date. However, if any early redemption

event has occurred with respect to the subordinated notes or if the usage of the subordinated notes with respect to such senior notes is

greater than zero, the required subordinated amount will be calculated based on the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of

such tranche as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the occurrence of such early redemption event or the date on

which the usage of the subordinated notes exceeds zero.

When the prefunded amounts are no longer necessary, they will be withdrawn from the principal funding account and applied in

accordance with the description under “—Withdrawals from Principal Funding Account—Withdrawals of Prefunded Amounts.” The

nominal liquidation amount of the prefunded tranches will be increased by the amount removed from the principal funding account.

If any tranche of senior notes becomes payable as a result of an early redemption event, event of default or other optional or mandatory

redemption, or upon reaching its expected principal payment date, any prefunded amounts on deposit in its principal funding

subaccount will be paid to noteholders of that tranche and deposits to pay the notes will continue as necessary to pay that tranche.



Event of Default, Early Redemption Event or Other Optional or Mandatory Redemption. If any tranche of notes has been accelerated

after the occurrence of an event of default during that month, or an early redemption event or other optional or mandatory redemption

has occurred with respect to any tranche of notes, the deposit targeted for that tranche of notes with respect to that month and each

following month will equal the nominal liquidation amount of that tranche of notes as of the close of business on the last day of the

preceding month, determined after giving effect to reallocations, payments or deposits occurring on the Transfer Date with respect to

such month.

 Amounts Owed to Derivative Counterparties. If a tranche of U.S. dollar notes or foreign currency notes that has a Performing or non-

Performing derivative agreement for principal that provides for a payment to the applicable derivative counterparty, the deposit

targeted for that tranche of notes on each Transfer Date with respect to any payment to the derivative counterparty will be specified in

the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

S-38

Table of Contents

Allocation to Principal Funding Subaccounts

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts, after any reallocation to cover MBNAseries Available Funds shortfalls, if any, will be

allocated each month, and a portion deposited in the principal funding subaccount established for each tranche of notes, as follows:



MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts Equal Targeted Amounts. If MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts remaining after

giving effect to clauses one through four under “—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” are equal to the sum of

the deposits targeted by each tranche of notes, then the applicable targeted amount will be deposited in the principal funding

subaccount established for each tranche.

• MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts Are Less Than Targeted Amounts. If MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts

remaining after giving effect to clauses one through four under “—Application of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts” are less

than the sum of the deposits targeted by each tranche of notes, then MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the

principal funding subaccounts for each tranche in the following priority:

—first, the amount available will be allocated to the Class A notes,

—second, the amount available after the application above will be allocated to the Class B notes, and

—third, the amount available after the applications above will be allocated to the Class C notes.

In each case, MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts allocated to a class will be allocated to each tranche of notes within such class

pro rata based on the ratio of:

—the amount targeted to be deposited into the principal funding subaccount for the applicable tranche of such class, to

—the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited into the principal funding subaccount for all tranches of such class.

If the restrictions described in “—Limit on Deposits to the Principal Funding Subaccount of Subordinated Notes; Limit on Repayments

of all Tranches” prevent the deposit of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts into the principal funding subaccount of any subordinated

note, the aggregate amount of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts available to make the targeted deposit for such subordinated tranche

will be allocated first to the Class A notes and then to the Class B notes, in each case pro rata based on the dollar amount of subordinated

notes required to be outstanding for the related senior notes. See “—Targeted Deposits of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the

Principal Funding Account.”

Limit on Deposits to the Principal Funding Subaccount of Subordinated Notes.

No MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the principal funding subaccount of any tranche of Class B notes

unless, following such deposit, the available subordinated amount of Class B notes is at least equal to the required subordinated amount of

Class B notes for all outstanding Class A notes minus the Class A Usage of Class B Required Subordinated Amount for all Class A notes. For

this purpose, the available subordinated amount of Class B notes is equal to the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all other Class B

notes of the MBNAseries which will be outstanding after giving effect to the deposit into the principal funding subaccount of such tranche of

Class B notes and all other Class B notes which have a targeted deposit into the principal funding account for such month.

No MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the principal funding subaccount of any tranche of Class C notes

unless, following such deposit:

—the available subordinated amount of Class C notes is at least equal to the required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all

outstanding Class A notes minus the Class A Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount for all Class A notes; and

—the available subordinated amount of Class C notes is at least equal to the required subordinated amount of Class C notes for all

outstanding Class B notes minus the Class B Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount for all Class B notes.

For this purpose, the available subordinated amount of Class C notes is equal to the aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all other Class C

notes of the MBNAseries which will be outstanding after giving effect to the deposit into the principal funding subaccount of such tranche of

Class C notes and all other Class C notes which have a targeted deposit into the principal funding account for such month.

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will be deposited in the principal funding subaccount of a subordinated note if and only to

the extent that such deposit is not contrary to either of the preceding two paragraphs and the prefunding target amount for each senior note is

zero.

Limit on Repayments of all Tranches.

No amounts on deposit in a principal funding subaccount for any tranche of Class A notes or Class B notes will be applied to pay

principal of that tranche or to make a payment under a derivative agreement with respect to principal of that tranche in excess of the highest

outstanding dollar principal amount of that tranche (or, in the case of foreign currency notes, such other amount that may be specified in the

MBNAseries indenture supplement). In the case of any tranche of Class C notes, no amounts on deposit in a principal funding subaccount or, if

applicable, a Class C reserve subaccount for any such tranche will be applied to pay principal of that tranche or to make a payment under a

derivative agreement with respect to principal of that tranche in excess of the highest outstanding dollar principal amount of that

S-40

Table of Contents

tranche (or, in the case of foreign currency notes, such other amount that may be specified in the MBNAseries indenture supplement).

Payments Received from Derivative Counterparties for Principal

Unless otherwise specified in the related indenture supplement, dollar payments for principal received under derivative agreements of

U.S. dollar notes in the MBNAseries will be treated as MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts. Payments received under derivative

agreements for principal of foreign currency notes in the MBNAseries will be applied as specified in the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

Deposits of Withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account to the Principal Funding Account

Withdrawals from any Class C reserve subaccount will be deposited into the principal funding subaccount for the applicable tranche of

Class C notes to the extent required pursuant to the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

Withdrawals from Interest Funding Subaccounts

After giving effect to all deposits of funds to the interest funding account in a month, the following withdrawals from the applicable

interest funding subaccount may be made, to the extent funds are available, in the applicable interest funding subaccount. A tranche of notes

may be entitled to more than one of the following withdrawals in a particular month:

• Withdrawals for U.S. Dollar Notes. On each applicable interest payment date for each tranche of U.S. dollar notes, an amount equal

to interest due on the applicable tranche of notes on the applicable interest payment date (including any overdue interest payments and

additional interest on overdue interest payments) will be withdrawn from that interest funding subaccount and paid to the applicable

paying agent.

• Withdrawals for Foreign Currency Notes with a Non-Performing Derivative Agreement. On each applicable interest payment date

with respect to a tranche of foreign currency notes that has a non-Performing derivative agreement for interest, the amount specified in

the MBNAseries indenture supplement will be withdrawn from that interest funding subaccount and, if so specified in the applicable

indenture supplement, converted to the applicable foreign currency at the applicable spot exchange rate and remitted to the applicable

paying agent.

• Withdrawals for Discount Notes. On each applicable principal payment date, with respect to each tranche of discount notes, an

amount equal to the amount of the accretion of principal of that tranche of notes from the prior principal payment date—or, in the case

of the first principal payment date, the date of issuance of that tranche—to but excluding the applicable principal payment date will be

withdrawn from that interest funding subaccount and invested in the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate.

S-41

Table of Contents

• Withdrawals for Payments to Derivative Counterparties. On each date on which a payment is required under the applicable

derivative agreement, with respect to any tranche of notes that has a Performing or non-Performing derivative agreement for interest,

an amount equal to the amount of the payment to be made under the applicable derivative agreement (including, if applicable, any

overdue payment and any additional interest on overdue payments) will be withdrawn from that interest funding subaccount and paid

in accordance with the MBNAseries indenture supplement.

If the aggregate amount available for withdrawal from an interest funding subaccount is less than all withdrawals required to be made

from that subaccount in a month after giving effect to all deposits, then the amounts on deposit in that interest funding subaccount will be

withdrawn and, if payable to more than one person, applied pro rata based on the amounts of the withdrawals required to be made. After

payment in full of any tranche of notes, any amount remaining on deposit in the applicable interest funding subaccount will be first applied to

cover any interest funding subaccount shortfalls for other tranches of notes in the manner described in “—Allocation to Interest Funding

Subaccounts,” second applied to cover any principal funding subaccount shortfalls in the manner described in “—Allocation to Principal

Funding Subaccounts,” and third paid to the issuer.

Withdrawals from Principal Funding Account

After giving effect to all deposits of funds to the principal funding account in a month, the following withdrawals from the applicable

principal funding subaccount will be made to the extent funds are available in the applicable principal funding subaccount. A tranche of notes

may be entitled to more than one of the following withdrawals in a particular month:

• Withdrawals for U.S. Dollar Notes with no Derivative Agreement for Principal. On each applicable principal payment date, with

respect to each tranche of U.S. dollar notes that has no derivative agreement for principal, an amount equal to the principal due on the

applicable tranche of notes on the applicable principal payment date will be withdrawn from the applicable principal funding

subaccount and paid to the applicable paying agent.

• Withdrawals for U.S. Dollar or Foreign Currency Notes with a Performing Derivative Agreement for Principal. On each date on

which a payment is required under the applicable derivative agreement with respect to any tranche of U.S. dollar or foreign currency

notes that has a Performing derivative agreement for principal, an amount equal to the amount of the payment to be made under the

applicable derivative agreement will be withdrawn from the applicable principal funding subaccount and paid to the applicable

derivative counterparty. The issuer will direct the applicable derivative counterparty to remit its payments under the applicable

derivative agreement to the applicable paying agent.



Withdrawals for Foreign Currency Notes with a non-Performing Derivative Agreement for Principal. On each principal payment

date with respect to a tranche of foreign currency notes that has a non-Performing derivative agreement for principal, an amount

equal to the amount specified in the applicable indenture supplement will be withdrawn from that principal funding subaccount and,

if so specified in the applicable indenture supplement, converted to the applicable foreign currency at the prevailing spot exchange

rate and paid to the applicable paying agent.

• Withdrawals for U.S. Dollar Notes with a non-Performing Derivative Agreement for Principal. On each principal payment date with

respect to a tranche of U.S. dollar notes with a non-Performing derivative agreement for principal, the amount specified in the

applicable indenture supplement will be withdrawn from the applicable principal funding subaccount and paid to the applicable paying

agent.

• Withdrawals of Prefunded Amounts. If prefunding of the principal funding subaccounts for senior classes of notes is no longer

necessary as a result of payment of senior notes or issuance of additional subordinated notes, as described under “—Targeted Deposits

of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account—Prefunding of the Principal Funding Account for

Senior Classes,” the prefunded amounts will be withdrawn from the principal funding account and first, allocated among and

deposited to the principal funding subaccounts of the Class A notes up to the amount then targeted to be on deposit in such principal

funding subaccount; second, allocated among and deposited to the principal funding subaccounts of the Class B notes up to the

amount then targeted to be on deposit in such principal funding subaccount; third, allocated among and deposited to the principal

funding subaccount of the Class C notes up to the amount then targeted to be on deposit in such principal funding subaccount; and

fourth, any remaining amounts paid to master trust II to increase the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate.

• Withdrawals on the Legal Maturity Date. On the legal maturity date of any tranche of notes, amounts on deposit in the principal

funding subaccount of such tranche may be applied to pay principal of that tranche or to make a payment under a derivative agreement

with respect to principal of that tranche.

If the aggregate amount available for withdrawal from a principal funding subaccount for any tranche of notes is less than all

withdrawals required to be made from that principal funding subaccount for that tranche in a month, then the amounts on deposit will be

withdrawn and applied pro rata based on the amounts of the withdrawals required to be made. Upon payment in full of any tranche of notes,

any remaining amount on deposit in the applicable principal funding subaccount will be first applied to cover any interest funding subaccount

shortfalls for other tranches of notes, second applied to cover any principal funding subaccount shortfalls, and third paid to the issuer.

Sale of Credit Card Receivables

Credit card receivables may be sold upon the insolvency of MBNA, upon an event of default and acceleration with respect to a tranche

of notes and on the legal maturity date of a tranche of notes. See “The Indenture—Events of Default” and “Master Trust II—Pay Out Events”

in the prospectus.

S-43

Table of Contents

If a tranche of notes has an event of default and is accelerated before its legal maturity date, master trust II may sell credit card

receivables in an amount up to the nominal liquidation amount of the affected tranche plus any accrued, past due or additional interest on the

affected tranche if the conditions described in “The Indenture—Events of Default” in the prospectus are satisfied. This sale will take place at

the option of the indenture trustee or at the direction of the holders of a majority of aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of notes of

that tranche. However, a sale will only be permitted if at least one of the following conditions is met:

• the holders of 90% of the aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the accelerated tranche of notes consent;

• the net proceeds of such sale (plus amounts on deposit in the applicable subaccounts and payments to be received from any applicable

derivative agreement) would be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the accelerated tranche of notes; or

• if the indenture trustee determines that the funds to be allocated to the accelerated tranche of notes, including MBNAseries Available

Funds and MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts allocable to the accelerated tranche of notes, payments to be received from any

applicable derivative agreement and amounts on deposit in the applicable subaccounts, may not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to

make all payments on the accelerated tranche of notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been

declared due and payable, and 66

/3% of the noteholders of the accelerated tranche of notes consent to the sale.

Any sale of receivables for a subordinated tranche of notes will be delayed if the subordination provisions prevent payment of the

accelerated tranche until a sufficient amount of senior classes of notes are prefunded, or a sufficient amount of senior notes have been repaid, or

a sufficient amount of subordinated tranches have been issued, in each case, to the extent that the accelerated tranche of notes is no longer

needed to provide the required subordination for the senior classes.

If principal of or interest on a tranche of notes has not been paid in full on its legal maturity date (after giving effect to any allocations,

deposits and distributions to be made on such date), the sale will automatically take place on that date regardless of the subordination

requirements of any senior classes of notes. Proceeds from such a sale will be immediately paid to the noteholders of the related tranche.

The amount of credit card receivables sold will be up to the nominal liquidation amount of, plus any accrued, past due and additional

interest on, the tranches of notes that directed the sale to be made. The nominal liquidation amount of any tranche of notes that directed the sale

to be made will be automatically reduced to zero upon such sale. After such sale, no more MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts or

MBNAseries Available Funds will be allocated to that tranche.

If a tranche of notes directs a sale of credit card receivables, then after the sale that tranche will no longer be entitled to credit

enhancement from subordinated classes of notes of the same series. Tranches of notes that have directed sales of credit card receivables are not

outstanding under the indenture.

S-44

Table of Contents

After giving effect to a sale of receivables for a tranche of notes, the amount of proceeds may be less than the outstanding dollar

principal amount of that tranche. This deficiency can arise because of a Nominal Liquidation Amount Deficit or if the sale price for the

receivables was less than the outstanding dollar principal amount. These types of deficiencies will not be reimbursed unless, in the case of

Class C notes only, there are sufficient amounts in the related Class C reserve subaccount.

Any amount remaining on deposit in the interest funding subaccount for a tranche of notes that has received final payment as described

in “—Final Payment of the Notes” and that has caused a sale of receivables will be treated as MBNAseries Available Funds and be allocated as

described in “—Application of MBNAseries Available Funds.”

Targeted Deposits to the Class C Reserve Account

The Class C reserve account will be funded on each Transfer Date, as necessary, from MBNAseries Available Funds as described under

“—Application of MBNAseries Available Funds.” The aggregate deposit targeted to be made to the Class C reserve account in each month will

be the sum of the Class C reserve subaccount deposits targeted to be made for each tranche of Class C notes as required under the MBNAseries

indenture supplement.

Withdrawals from the Class C Reserve Account

Withdrawals will be made from the Class C reserve account in the amount and manner required under the MBNAseries indenture

supplement.

Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account

If more than one budgeted deposit is targeted for a tranche, the accumulation reserve subaccount will be funded for such tranche no

later than three months prior to the date on which a budgeted deposit is first targeted for such tranche as described under “—Targeted Deposits

of MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to the Principal Funding Account.” The accumulation reserve subaccount for a tranche of notes

will be funded on each Transfer Date, as necessary, from MBNAseries Available Funds as described under “—Application of MBNAseries

Available Funds.” The aggregate deposit targeted to be made to the accumulation reserve account in each month will be the sum of the

accumulation reserve subaccount deposits targeted to be made for each tranche of notes.

If the aggregate amount of MBNAseries Available Funds available for deposit to the accumulation reserve account is less than the sum

of the targeted deposits for each tranche of notes, then the amount available will be allocated to each tranche of notes up to the targeted deposit

pro rata based on the ratio of the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for that tranche for that month to the Weighted

Average Available Funds Allocation Amount for all tranches of notes that have a targeted deposit to their accumulation reserve subaccounts for

that month. After the initial allocation, any excess will be further allocated in a similar manner to those accumulation reserve subaccounts

which still have an uncovered targeted deposit.

S-45

Table of Contents

Withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account

Withdrawals will be made from the accumulation reserve subaccounts, but in no event more than the amount on deposit in the

applicable accumulation reserve subaccount, in the following order:

• Interest. On or prior to each Transfer Date, the issuer will calculate for each tranche of notes the amount of any shortfall of net

investment earnings for amounts on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for that tranche (other than prefunded amounts) over

the amount of interest that would have accrued on such deposit if that tranche had borne interest at the applicable note interest rate (or

other rate specified in the MBNAseries indenture supplement) for the prior month. If there is any such shortfall for that Transfer Date,

or any unpaid shortfall from any earlier Transfer Date, the issuer will withdraw the sum of those amounts from the accumulation

reserve subaccount, to the extent available, for treatment as MBNAseries Available Funds for such month.

• Payment to Issuer. Upon payment in full of any tranche of notes, any amount on deposit in the applicable accumulation reserve

subaccount will be paid to the issuer.

Final Payment of the Notes

Noteholders are entitled to payment of principal in an amount equal to the outstanding dollar principal amount of their respective notes.

However, MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts will be allocated to pay principal on the notes only up to their nominal liquidation

amount, which will be reduced for charge-offs due to uncovered defaults of principal receivables in master trust II and reallocations of

MBNAseries Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on senior classes of notes or a portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to

such notes. In addition, if a sale of receivables occurs, as described in “—Sale of Credit Card Receivables,” the amount of receivables sold will

be limited to the nominal liquidation amount of, plus any accrued, past due or additional interest on, the related tranche of notes. If the nominal

liquidation amount of a tranche has been reduced, noteholders of such tranche will receive full payment of principal only to the extent proceeds

from the sale of receivables are sufficient to pay the full principal amount, amounts are received from an applicable derivative agreement or

amounts have been previously deposited in an issuer account for such tranche of notes.

On the date of a sale of receivables, the proceeds of such sale will be available to pay the outstanding dollar principal amount of, plus

any accrued, past due and additional interest on, that tranche.

A tranche of notes will be considered to be paid in full, the holders of those notes will have no further right or claim, and the issuer will

have no further obligation or liability for principal or interest, on the earliest to occur of:

• the date of the payment in full of the stated principal amount of and all accrued, past due and additional interest on that tranche of

notes;

S-46

Table of Contents

• the date on which the outstanding dollar principal amount of that tranche of notes is reduced to zero, and all accrued, past due or

additional interest on that tranche of notes is paid in full;

• the legal maturity date of that tranche of notes, after giving effect to all deposits, allocations, reallocations, sales of credit card

receivables and payments to be made on that date; or

• the date on which a sale of receivables has taken place with respect to such tranche, as described in “—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables.”

Pro Rata Payments Within a Tranche

All notes of a tranche will receive payments of principal and interest pro rata based on the stated principal amount of each note in that

tranche.

Shared Excess Available Funds

MBNAseries Available Funds for any month remaining after making the seventh application described under “—Application of

MBNAseries Available Funds” will be available for allocation to other series of notes in Group A. Such excess including excesses, if any, from

other series of notes in Group A, called shared excess available funds, will be allocated to cover certain shortfalls in Available Funds for the

series in Group A, if any, which have not been covered out of Available Funds allocable to such series. If these shortfalls exceed shared excess

available funds for any month, shared excess available funds will be allocated pro rata among the applicable series in Group A based on the

relative amounts of those shortfalls in Available Funds. To the extent that shared excess available funds exceed those shortfalls, the balance

will be paid to the issuer. For the MBNAseries, shared excess available funds, to the extent available and allocated to the MBNAseries, will

cover shortfalls in the first four applications described in “—Application of MBNAseries Available Funds.”

MBNA and MBNA Corporation

MBNA America Bank, National Association (referred to in this prospectus supplement as MBNA), a national bank organized in January

1991 as the successor to a national bank formed in 1982, is a principal wholly-owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation. MBNA has two

wholly-owned non-U.S. bank subsidiaries, MBNA Europe Bank Limited, formed in 1993 with its headquarters in the United Kingdom, and

MBNA Canada Bank, formed in 1997.

On a managed basis, including loan accounts originated or acquired by MBNA Europe Bank Limited and MBNA Canada Bank,

MBNA maintained loan accounts with aggregate outstanding balances of $112.8 billion as of March 31, 2005. Of this amount, $74.8 billion

were MasterCard, Visa and American Express credit card loans originated in the United States. As of March 31, 2005, MBNA had assets of

$58.4 billion, deposits of $32.1 billion and capital and surplus accounts of $12.9 billion. As of June 30, 2005, MBNA Corporation had

consolidated assets of $63.0 billion, consolidated deposits of $30.9 billion and capital and surplus accounts of $12.8 billion.

S-47

Table of Contents

MBNA’s Credit Card Portfolio

MBNA primarily relies on endorsed marketing in the acquisition of credit card accounts, but also engages in targeted direct response

marketing and portfolio acquisitions. For a description of MBNA’s marketing, underwriting and credit risk control policies, see “MBNA’s

Credit Card Activities—Acquisition and Use of Credit Card Accounts” in the prospectus.

Billing and Payments

MBNA, using MBNA Technology, Inc. as its service bureau, generates and mails to cardholders monthly statements summarizing

account activity and processes cardholder monthly payments. Currently, cardholders generally must make a monthly minimum payment at least

equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of all finance charges, bank imposed fees, a stated minimum amount (generally $15) and past due amounts or

(ii) 2.25% of the statement balance plus past due amounts, but generally not less than $15. Certain eligible cardholders are given the option

periodically to take a payment deferral.

MBNA anticipates increasing the required monthly minimum payments for new credit card accounts beginning in the third quarter of

2005 and for existing credit card accounts in the fourth quarter of 2005. After the change, cardholders generally will be required to make a

monthly minimum payment at least equal to interest and late fees assessed that month plus 1% of the remaining balance on the account.

Increasing the monthly minimum payments will likely reduce the amount of principal receivables in the Bank Portfolio and the Master Trust II

Portfolio and the finance charges on those principal receivables in future periods. The impact of such change on the payment of principal and

interest on the Bank Portfolio and the Master Trust II Portfolio will depend on the actual payment patterns of cardholders after the change,

whether or not cardholders who pay down the account balance more quickly will reuse the available credit, and other factors that are difficult

to predict or quantify.

The finance charges on purchases, which are assessed monthly, are calculated by multiplying the account’s average daily purchase

balance by the applicable daily periodic rate, and multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. Finance charges are

calculated on purchases from the date of the purchase or the first day of the billing cycle in which the purchase is posted to the account,

whichever is later. Monthly periodic finance charges are generally not assessed on new purchases if, for each billing cycle, all balances shown

on the previous billing statement are paid by the due date, which is generally at least 20 days after the billing date. Monthly periodic finance

charges are not assessed in most circumstances on previous purchases if all balances shown on the two previous billing statements are paid by

their respective due dates.

The finance charges, which are assessed monthly on cash advances (including balance transfers), are calculated by multiplying the

account’s average cash advance balance by the applicable daily periodic rate, and multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing

cycle. Finance charges are calculated on cash advances (including balance transfers) from the date of the transaction. Currently, MBNA

generally treats the day on which a cash advance check is deposited or cashed as the transaction date for such check.

S-48

Table of Contents

During 2004, MBNA implemented strategies to decrease the number of accounts that have been overlimit for consecutive periods.

These strategies included eliminating charging overlimit fees for accounts that have been overlimit for consecutive periods and holding the

minimum payment constant (assuming the fee had been billed), thereby shifting payment dollars to principal, thus accelerating the rate at

which outstanding balances on these overlimit accounts are reduced below the credit limit.

MBNA assesses annual membership fees on certain accounts although under various marketing programs these fees may be waived or

rebated. For most credit card accounts, MBNA also assesses late, overlimit and returned check charges. MBNA generally assesses a fee on

cash advances and certain purchase transactions.

Risk Control and Fraud

MBNA manages risk at the account level through sophisticated analytical techniques combined with regular judgmental review.

Transactions are evaluated at the point of sale, where risk levels are balanced with profitability and cardholder satisfaction. In addition,

cardholders showing signs of financial stress are periodically reviewed, a process that includes an examination of the cardholder’s credit file,

the cardholder’s behavior with MBNA accounts, and often a phone call to the cardholder for clarification of the situation. MBNA may block

use of certain accounts, reduce credit lines on certain accounts, and increase the annual percentage rates on certain accounts (generally after

giving the cardholder notice and an opportunity to reject the rate increase, unless the increase was triggered by an event set out in the credit

agreement as a specific basis for a rate increase).

A balanced approach is also used when stimulating portfolio growth. Risk levels are measured through statistical models that

incorporate payment behavior, employment information, income information and transaction activity. Credit bureau scores and attributes are

obtained and combined with internal information to allow MBNA to increase credit lines and promote account usage while balancing

additional risk.

MBNA manages fraud risk through a combination of judgmental reviews and sophisticated technology to detect and prevent fraud as

early as possible. Technologies and strategies utilized include a neural net-based fraud score, expert systems and fraud specified authorization

strategies. Address and other demographic discrepancies are investigated as part of the credit decision to identify and prevent identity theft.

Delinquencies and Collection Efforts

An account is contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the due date indicated on the monthly billing

statement. For collection purposes, however, an account is considered delinquent if the minimum payment required to be made is not received

by MBNA generally within 5 days after the due date reflected in the respective monthly billing statement. Efforts to collect delinquent credit

card receivables currently are made by MBNA’s Customer Assistance personnel. Collection activities include statement messages, telephone

calls and formal collection letters. MBNA employs two principal computerized

S-49

Table of Contents

systems for collecting past due accounts. The predictive management system analyzes each cardholder’s purchase and repayment habits and

selects accounts for initial contact with the objective of contacting the highest risk accounts first. The accounts selected are queued to MBNA’s

proprietary outbound call management system. This system sorts accounts by a number of factors, including time zone, degree of delinquency

and dollar amount due, and automatically dials delinquent accounts in order of priority. Representatives are automatically linked to the

cardholder’s account information and voice line when a contact is established.

MBNA charges off open-end delinquent loans by the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days contractually past due.

Delinquent bankrupt accounts are charged off by the end of the second calendar month following receipt of notification of filing from the

applicable court, but not later than the applicable 180-day timeframe described above. Accounts of deceased cardholders are charged off when

the loss is determined, but not later than the applicable 180-day timeframe described above. Fraudulent accounts are charged off by the end of

the calendar month of the 90th day after identifying the account as fraudulent, but not later than the applicable 180-day timeframe described

above. Accounts failing to make a payment within charge-off policy timeframes are written off. Managers may on an exception basis defer

charge-off of an account for another month, pending continued payment activity or other special circumstances. Senior manager approval is

required on all such exceptions to the charge-off policies described above. If an account has been charged-off, it may be sold to a third party or

retained by MBNA for recovery.

Renegotiated and Re-Aged Accounts

MBNA may modify the terms of its credit card agreements with cardholders who have experienced financial difficulties by offering

them renegotiated account programs, which include placing them on nonaccrual status, reducing their interest rate or providing any other

concession in terms. When accounts are classified as nonaccrual, interest is no longer billed to the cardholder. In future periods, when a

payment is received, it is recorded as a reduction of the interest and fee amount that was billed to the cardholder prior to placing the account on

nonaccrual status. Once the original interest and fee amount or subsequent fees have been paid, payments are recorded as a reduction of

principal. Other restructured loans are loans for which the interest rate was reduced or loans that have received any other type of concession in

terms because of the inability of the cardholder to comply with the original terms and conditions. Income is accrued at the reduced rate as long

as the cardholder complies with the revised terms and conditions. In addition, accounts may be re-aged to remove existing delinquency.

Generally, the intent of a re-age is to assist cardholders who have recently overcome temporary financial difficulties, and have demonstrated

both the ability and willingness to resume regular payments, but may be unable to pay the entire past due amount. To qualify for re-aging, the

account must have been open for at least one year and cannot have been re-aged during the preceding 365 days. An account may not be re-

aged more than two times in a five-year period. To qualify for re-aging, the cardholder must also have made three regular minimum monthly

payments within the last 90 days. In addition, MBNA may re-age the account of a cardholder who is experiencing long-term financial

difficulties and apply modified, concessionary terms and conditions to the account. Such additional re-ages are

S-50

Table of Contents

limited to one in a five year period and must meet the qualifications for re-ages described above, except that the cardholder’s three consecutive

minimum monthly payments may be based on the modified terms and conditions applied to the account. All re-age strategies are approved by

MBNA’s senior management and MBNA’s Loan Review Department.

As of March 31, 2005, master trust II included approximately $14.6 million of receivables in nonaccrual accounts, 0.02% of the total

receivables in master trust II, approximately $2.5 billion of receivables in other restructured accounts, 3.61% of the total receivables in master

trust II, and approximately $363.1 million of receivables in re-aged accounts, 0.53% of the total receivables in master trust II.

The Master Trust II Portfolio

The receivables conveyed to master trust II arise in accounts selected from the Bank Portfolio on the basis of criteria set forth in the

master trust II agreement as applied on the Cut-Off Date and, with respect to additional accounts, as of the related date of their designation. The

receivables in master trust II may include receivables that are contractually delinquent. The seller has the right, subject to certain limitations

and conditions set forth therein, to designate from time to time additional accounts and to transfer to master trust II all receivables of such

additional accounts. Any additional accounts designated must be Eligible Accounts as of the date the seller designates such accounts as

additional accounts.

Delinquency and Principal Charge-Off Experience

The following table sets forth the delinquency experience for cardholder payments on the credit card accounts in the Master Trust II

Portfolio for each of the periods shown. The receivables outstanding on the accounts consist of all amounts due from cardholders as posted to

the accounts as of the end of the period shown. We cannot provide any assurance that the delinquency experience for the receivables in the

future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

receivables that have been written off were included in total charge-offs, total charge-offs would be higher as an absolute number and as a

percentage of the average of principal receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. Average principal receivables outstanding is the

average of the daily principal receivables balance during the periods indicated. We cannot provide any assurance that the charge-off

experience for the receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

Total charge-offs are total principal charge-offs before recoveries and do not include any charge-offs of finance charge receivables or

the amount of any reductions in average daily principal receivables outstanding due to fraud, returned goods, customer disputes or other

miscellaneous adjustments.

Revenue Experience

The following table sets forth the revenue experience for the credit card accounts from finance charges, fees paid and interchange in the

Master Trust II Portfolio for each of the periods shown.

The revenue experience in the following table is calculated on a cash basis. Yield from finance charges and fees is the result of dividing

finance charges and fees by average daily principal receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. Finance charges and fees are

comprised of monthly cash collections of periodic finance charges and other credit card fees including interchange.

Since December 17, 2001, recoveries on receivables in Defaulted Accounts have been included as amounts received in respect of finance charge receivables.

The yield on a cash basis will be affected by numerous factors, including the monthly periodic finance charges on the receivables, the

amount of the annual membership fees and other fees, changes in the delinquency rate on the receivables, the percentage of cardholders who

pay their balances in full each month and do not incur monthly periodic finance charges, the percentage of credit card accounts bearing finance

charges at promotional rates and changes in the level of delinquencies on the receivables. See “Risk Factors” in the prospectus.

The revenue from periodic finance charges and fees—other than annual fees—depends in part upon the collective preference of

cardholders to use their credit cards as revolving debt instruments for purchases and cash advances and to pay account balances over several

months—as opposed to convenience use, where cardholders pay off their entire balance each month, thereby avoiding periodic finance charges

on their purchases—and upon other credit card related services for which the cardholder pays a fee. Fees for these other services will be treated

for purposes of the master trust II agreement as principal receivables rather than finance charge receivables; however, MBNA may specify that

it will treat these fees as finance charge receivables. Revenues from periodic finance charges and fees also depend on the types of charges and

fees assessed on the credit card accounts. Accordingly, revenue will be affected by future changes in the types of charges and fees assessed on

the accounts and on the types of additional accounts added from time to time. These revenues could be adversely affected by future changes in

fees and charges assessed by MBNA and other factors. See “MBNA’s Credit Card Activities” in the prospectus.

Interchange

MBNA, as seller, will transfer to master trust II a percentage of the interchange attributed to cardholder charges for goods and services

in the accounts of master trust II. Interchange will be allocated to each series of master trust II investor certificates based on such series’s pro

rata portion as measured by its Investor Interest of cardholder charges for goods and services in the accounts of master trust II relative to the

total amount of cardholder charges for goods and services in the MasterCard, Visa and American Express credit card accounts owned by

MBNA, as reasonably estimated by the seller.

S-54

Table of Contents

MasterCard, Visa and American Express may from time to time change the amount of interchange reimbursed to banks issuing their

credit cards. Interchange will be treated as collections of finance charge receivables. Under the circumstances described herein, interchange

will be used to pay a portion of the Investor Servicing Fee required to be paid on each Transfer Date. See “Master Trust II—Servicing

Compensation and Payment of Expenses” and “MBNA’s Credit Card Activities—Interchange” in the prospectus.

Principal Payment Rates

The following table sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder monthly principal payment rates for the Master Trust II Portfolio

during any month in the periods shown and the average cardholder monthly principal payment rates for all months during the periods shown,

in each case calculated as a percentage of total beginning monthly account principal balances during the periods shown. Principal payment

rates shown in the table are based on amounts which are deemed payments of principal receivables with respect to the accounts.

Generally, cardholders must make a monthly minimum payment at least equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of all finance charges, bank

imposed fees, a stated minimum amount (generally $15) and past due amounts or (ii) 2.25% of the statement balance plus past due amounts,

but generally not less than $15. Certain eligible cardholders are given the option periodically to take a payment deferral. We cannot assure you

that the cardholder monthly principal payment rates in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth above. See “MBNA’s

Credit Card Portfolio—Billing and Payments” in this prospectus supplement. In addition, the amount of collections of receivables may vary

from month to month due to seasonal variations, general economic conditions and payment habits of individual cardholders.

MBNA, as seller, has the right, subject to certain limitations and conditions, to designate certain removed credit card accounts and to

require the master trust II trustee to reconvey all receivables in such removed credit card accounts to the seller. Once an account is removed,

receivables existing or guaranteed under that credit card account are not transferred to master trust II.

The Receivables

As of the beginning of the day on June 23, 2005:

 the Master Trust II Portfolio included $66,992,384,271 of principal receivables and $1,430,452,580 of finance charge receivables;

S-55

Table of Contents

 the credit card accounts had an average principal receivable balance of $1,599 and an average credit limit of $13,940;

 the percentage of the aggregate total receivable balance to the aggregate total credit limit was 11.7%;

 the average age of the credit card accounts was approximately 81 months; and

 cardholders whose accounts are included in the Master Trust II Portfolio had billing addresses in all 50 States, the District of

Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

The following tables summarize the Master Trust II Portfolio by various criteria as of the beginning of the day on June 23, 2005.

Because the future composition of the Master Trust II Portfolio may change over time, these tables do not describe the composition of the

Master Trust II Portfolio at any future time.

Since the largest number of cardholders (based on billing address) whose accounts were included in master trust II as of June 23, 2005

were in California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas, adverse changes in the economic conditions in these areas could have a direct

impact on the timing and amount of payments on the notes.

Recent Additions to the Master Trust II Portfolio

The following table sets forth the timing and amount of additions of receivables in additional accounts to the Master Trust II Portfolio

since the beginning of 2001. Balances of receivables include principal and finance charge receivables as of the date of the related addition.

The several underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, to purchase all $200,000,000

of the aggregate principal amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes if any of these Class B(2005-2) notes are purchased.

The underwriters have advised the issuer that the several underwriters propose initially to offer these Class B(2005-2) notes to the

public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, and to certain dealers at that public offering price

less a concession not in excess of [•]% of the principal amount of these Class B(2005-2) notes. The underwriters may allow, and those dealers

may reallow to other dealers, a concession not in excess of [•]% of the principal amount.

After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters.

Each underwriter of these Class B(2005-2) notes has agreed that:

 it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) with

respect to anything done by it in relation to the Class B(2005-2) notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and

 it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and it will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or

inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the

issue or sale of any Class B(2005-2) notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the issuer.

In connection with the sale of these Class B(2005-2) notes, the underwriters may engage in:

 over-allotments, in which members of the syndicate selling these Class B(2005-2) notes sell more notes than the issuer actually sold to

the syndicate, creating a syndicate short position;

 stabilizing transactions, in which purchases and sales of these Class B(2005-2) notes may be made by the members of the selling

syndicate at prices that do not exceed a specified maximum;

 syndicate covering transactions, in which members of the selling syndicate purchase these Class B(2005-2) notes in the open market

after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions; and

 penalty bids, by which the underwriter reclaims a selling concession from a syndicate member when any of these Class B(2005-2)

notes originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of these Class B(2005-2) notes to

be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

The issuer and MBNA will, jointly and severally, indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under

applicable securities laws, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The proceeds to the issuer from the sale of these Class B(2005-2) notes and the underwriting discount are set forth on the cover page of

this prospectus supplement. Additional offering expenses are estimated to be $400,000.

Prospectus Summary

This summary does not contain all the information you may need to make an informed investment decision. You should read the entire

prospectus and any supplement to this prospectus before you purchase any notes. The accompanying supplement to this prospectus may

supplement disclosure in this prospectus.

Securities Offered

The issuer will be offering notes. The notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture between the issuer and The Bank of New York, as indenture

trustee.

Risk Factors

Investment in notes involves risks. You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 15 in this prospectus and any risk factors

disclosed in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Issuer

MBNA Credit Card Master Note Trust, a Delaware trust, will be the issuer of the notes. The address of the issuer is MBNA Credit Card Master

Note Trust, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 N. Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001. Its telephone

number is (302) 651-1284.

Master Trust II

The issuer’s primary asset will be the collateral certificate issued by the MBNA Master Credit Card Trust II, which is referred to in this

prospectus and in the accompanying prospectus supplement as master trust II. For a description of the collateral certificate, see “Sources of

Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate.” Master trust II’s assets consist primarily of credit card receivables arising in a portfolio of

consumer revolving credit card accounts. In addition, MBNA is permitted to add to master trust II participations representing interests in a pool

of assets primarily consisting of receivables arising under consumer revolving credit card accounts owned by MBNA and collections thereon.

For a description of master trust II, see “Master Trust II.”

MBNA

MBNA America Bank, National Association formed master trust II and has transferred and may continue to transfer credit card receivables to

master trust II. MBNA will be responsible for servicing, managing and making collections on the credit card receivables in master trust II.

MBNA will be the originator and beneficiary of the issuer.

Indenture Trustee

The Bank of New York will be the indenture trustee under the indenture for the notes.

Under the terms of the indenture, the role of the indenture trustee is limited. See “The Indenture—Indenture Trustee.”

Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes

The notes will be issued in series. Each series is entitled to its allocable share of the issuer’s assets. It is expected that most series will consist of

multiple classes. A class designation determines the relative seniority for receipt of cash flows and funding of uncovered defaults on principal

receivables

Table of Contents

in master trust II allocated to the related series of notes. For example, subordinated classes of notes provide credit enhancement for senior

classes of notes in the same series.

Some series of notes will be multiple tranche series, meaning that they may have classes consisting of multiple tranches. Tranches of notes

within a class may be issued on different dates and have different stated principal amounts, rates of interest, interest payment dates, expected

principal payment dates, legal maturity dates and other material terms as described in the related prospectus supplement.

In a multiple tranche series, the expected principal payment dates and the legal maturity dates of the senior and subordinated classes of such

series may be different. As such, certain subordinated tranches of notes may have expected principal payment dates and legal maturity dates

earlier than some or all of the senior notes of such series. However, subordinated notes will not be repaid before their legal maturity dates,

unless, after payment, the remaining subordinated notes provide the required enhancement for the senior notes. In addition, senior notes will

not be issued unless, after issuance, there are enough outstanding subordinated notes to provide the required subordinated amount for the

senior notes. See “The Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes.”

Some series may not be multiple tranche series. For these series, there will be only one tranche per class and each class will generally be issued

on the same date. The expected principal payment dates and legal

maturity dates of the subordinated classes of such a series will either be the same as or later than those of the senior classes of that series.

Interest Payments

Each tranche of notes, other than discount notes, will bear interest from the date and at the rate set forth or as determined in the related

prospectus supplement. Interest on the notes will be paid on the interest payment dates specified in the related prospectus supplement.

Expected Principal Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, it is expected that the issuer will pay the stated principal amount of each note

in one payment on that note’s expected principal payment date. The expected principal payment date of a note is generally 29 months before its

legal maturity date. The legal maturity date is the date on which a note is legally required to be fully paid in accordance with its terms. The

expected principal payment date and legal maturity date for a note will be specified in the related prospectus supplement.

The issuer will be obligated to pay the stated principal amount of a note on its expected principal payment date, or upon the occurrence of an

early redemption event or event of default and acceleration or other optional or mandatory redemption, only to the extent that funds are

available for that purpose and only to the extent that payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same

series. The

Table of Contents

remedies a noteholder may exercise following an event of default and acceleration or on the legal maturity date are described in “The Indenture

—Events of Default Remedies” and “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables.”

Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount of Notes

Each note has a stated principal amount, an outstanding dollar principal amount and a nominal liquidation amount.

• Stated Principal Amount. The stated principal amount of a note is the amount that is stated on the face of the note to be payable to the

holder. It can be denominated in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency.

• Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount. For U.S. dollar notes (other than discount notes), the outstanding dollar principal amount is the

same as the initial dollar principal amount of the notes (as set forth in the applicable supplement to this prospectus), less principal payments to

noteholders. For foreign currency notes, the outstanding dollar principal amount is the U.S. dollar equivalent of the initial dollar principal

amount of the notes (as set forth in the related prospectus supplement), less dollar payments to derivative counterparties with respect to

principal. For discount notes, the outstanding dollar principal amount is an amount stated in, or determined by a formula described in, the

related prospectus supplement.

In addition, a note may have an adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount. The adjusted outstanding dollar principal amount is the same as

the outstanding dollar principal amount, less any funds on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for that note.

• Nominal Liquidation Amount. The nominal liquidation amount of a note is a U.S. dollar amount based on the outstanding dollar principal

amount of the note, but after deducting:

—that note’s share of reallocations of available principal amounts used to pay interest on senior classes of notes or a portion of the master trust

II servicing fee allocated to its series;

—that note’s share of charge-offs resulting from uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II;

—amounts on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for that note;

and adding back all reimbursements from excess available funds allocated to that note of (i) reallocations of available principal amounts used

to pay interest on senior classes of notes or the master trust II servicing fee or (ii) charge-offs resulting from uncovered defaults on principal

receivables in master trust II. Excess available funds are available funds that remain after the payment of interest and other required payments

with respect to the notes.

The nominal liquidation amount of a note corresponds to the portion of the investor interest of the collateral certificate that is allocated to

support that note.

Table of Contents

The aggregate nominal liquidation amount of all of the notes is equal to the investor interest of the collateral certificate. The investor interest

of the collateral certificate corresponds to the amount of principal receivables in master trust II that is allocated to support the collateral

certificate. For a more detailed discussion, see the definition of investor interest in the glossary. Anything that increases or decreases the

aggregate nominal liquidation amount of the notes will also increase or decrease the investor interest of the collateral certificate.

Upon a sale of credit card receivables held by master trust II (i) following the insolvency of MBNA, (ii) following an event of default and

acceleration for a note, or (iii) on a note’s legal maturity date, each as described in “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card

Receivables,” the nominal liquidation amount of a note will be reduced to zero.

For a detailed discussion of nominal liquidation amount, see “The Notes—Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount

and Nominal Liquidation Amount.”

Subordination

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, payment of principal of and interest on subordinated classes of notes

will be subordinated to the payment of principal of and interest on senior classes of notes.

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, available principal amounts allocable to the notes of a series may be

reallocated to pay interest on senior classes of notes in that series or a portion of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to that series. In

addition, the nominal liquidation amount of a subordinated class of notes will generally be reduced for charge-offs resulting from uncovered

defaults on principal receivables in master trust II prior to any reductions in the nominal liquidation amount of the senior classes of notes of the

same series. While in a multiple tranche series charge-offs from uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II allocable to the

series will be initially allocated to each tranche pro rata, these charge-offs will then be reallocated from tranches in the senior classes to

tranches in the subordinated classes to the extent credit enhancement in the form of subordination is still available to such senior tranches.

In addition, available principal amounts are first utilized to fund targeted deposits to the principal funding subaccounts of senior classes before

being applied to the principal funding subaccounts of the subordinated classes.

In a multiple tranche series, subordinated notes that reach their expected principal payment date, or that have an early redemption event, event

of default or other optional or mandatory redemption, will not be paid to the extent that those notes are necessary to provide the required

subordination for senior classes of notes of the same series. If a tranche of subordinated notes cannot be paid because of the subordination

provisions of its respective indenture supplement, prefunding of the principal funding subaccounts for the senior notes of the same series will

begin, as described in the related prospectus supplement. After that time, the

Table of Contents

subordinated notes will be paid only to the extent that:

•

the principal funding subaccounts for the senior classes of notes of that series are prefunded in an amount such that the subordinated notes

that have reached their expected principal payment date are no longer necessary to provide the required subordination;

•

new tranches of subordinated notes of that series are issued so that the subordinated notes that have reached their expected principal payment

date are no longer necessary to provide the required subordination;

•

enough notes of senior classes of that series are repaid so that the subordinated notes that have reached their expected principal payment date

are no longer necessary to provide the required subordination; or

• the subordinated notes reach their legal maturity date.

On the legal maturity date of a tranche of notes, available principal amounts, if any, allocable to that tranche and proceeds from any sale of

receivables will be paid to the noteholders of that tranche, even if payment would reduce the amount of available subordination below the

required subordination for the senior classes of that series.

Limit on Repayment of All Notes

You may not receive full repayment of your notes if:

• the nominal liquidation amount of your notes has been reduced by charge-offs due to uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master

trust II or as a result of reallocations of available principal amounts to pay interest on senior classes of notes or a portion of the master trust II

servicing fee, and those amounts have not been reimbursed from available funds; or

• receivables are sold (i) following the insolvency of MBNA, (ii) following an event of default and acceleration or (iii) on the legal maturity

date, and the proceeds from the sale of receivables, plus any available amounts on deposit in the applicable subaccounts allocable to your

notes are insufficient.

Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes

The issuer will have the following sources of funds to pay principal of and interest on the notes:

• Collateral Certificate. The collateral certificate is an investor certificate issued as “Series 2001-D” by master trust II to the issuer. It

represents an undivided interest in the assets of master trust II. Master trust II owns primarily receivables arising in selected MasterCard, Visa

and American Express consumer revolving credit card accounts. MBNA has transferred, and may continue to transfer, credit card receivables

to master trust II in accordance with the terms of the master trust II agreement. Both collections of principal receivables and finance charge

receivables will be allocated among holders of interests in master trust II—including the collateral certificate—based generally on the

investment in principal receivables of each interest in master trust II. If collections of receivables allocable to the collateral certificate are less

than expected, payments of principal of and interest on the notes could be delayed or remain unpaid.

Table of Contents

The collateral certificate will receive an investment grade rating from at least one nationally recognized rating agency.

• Derivative Agreements. Some notes may have the benefit of one or more derivative agreements, including interest rate or currency swaps, or

other similar agreements with various counterparties. A description of the specific terms of each derivative agreement and each derivative

counterparty will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement.

• The Issuer Accounts. The issuer will establish a collection account for the purpose of receiving collections of finance charge receivables and

principal receivables and other related amounts from master trust II payable under the collateral certificate. If so specified in the prospectus

supplement, the issuer may establish supplemental accounts for any series, class or tranche of notes.

Each month, distributions on the collateral certificate will be deposited into the collection account. Those deposits will then be allocated

among each series of notes and applied as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Early Redemption of Notes

The issuer will be required to redeem any note upon the occurrence of an early redemption event with respect to that note, but only to the extent

funds are available for such redemption after giving effect to all allocations and reallocations and, in the case of subordinated notes of a

multiple tranche series, only to the extent that payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same series.

However, if so specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, subject to certain exceptions, any notes that have the benefit of a

derivative agreement will not be redeemed prior to such notes’ expected principal payment date.

Early redemption events include, unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, the following:

• the occurrence of a note’s expected principal payment date;

• each of the pay out events applicable to the collateral certificate, as described under “Master Trust II—Pay Out Events”;

• the issuer becoming an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or

• any additional early redemption events specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

It is not an event of default if the issuer fails to redeem a note because it does not have sufficient funds available or because payment of the

note is delayed because it is necessary to provide required subordination for a senior class of notes.

If so specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under certain circumstances the servicer may direct the issuer to redeem the notes

of any series, class or tranche before the applicable expected principal payment date on the terms described in such prospectus supplement.

Events of Default

The documents that govern the terms and conditions of the notes include a list of adverse events known as events of default.

Table of Contents

Some events of default result in an automatic acceleration of the notes, and others result in the right of the holders of the affected series, class

or tranche of notes to demand acceleration after an affirmative

vote by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding dollar principal amount of the affected series, class or tranche of notes.

Events of default for any series, class or tranche of notes include the following:

• with respect to any tranche of notes, the issuer’s failure, for a period of 35 days, to pay interest upon such notes when such interest becomes

due and payable;

• with respect to any tranche of notes, the issuer’s failure to pay the principal amount of such notes on the applicable legal maturity date;

• the issuer’s default in the performance, or breach, of any other of its covenants or warranties in the indenture for a period of 60 days after

either the indenture trustee or the holders of 25% of the aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the outstanding notes of the affected

series, class or tranche has provided written notice requesting remedy of such breach, and, as a result of such default, the interests of the

related noteholders are materially and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely affected during the 60 day period;

• the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or receivership of the issuer; and

• with respect to any series, class or tranche of notes, any additional events of default specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

An event of default with respect to one series, class or tranche of notes will not necessarily be an event of default with respect to any other

series, class or tranche of notes.

Events of Default Remedies

After an event of default and acceleration of a series, class or tranche of notes, funds on deposit in the applicable issuer accounts for the

affected notes will be applied to pay principal of and interest on those notes. Then, in each following month, available principal amounts and

available funds allocated to those notes will be applied to make monthly principal and interest payments on those notes until the earlier of the

date those notes are paid in full or the legal maturity date of those notes. However, subordinated notes of a multiple tranche series will receive

payment of principal of those notes prior to the legal maturity date of such notes only if and to the extent that funds are available for that

payment and, after giving effect to that payment, the required subordination will be maintained for senior notes in that series.

If an event of default of a series, class or tranche of notes occurs and that series, class or tranche of notes is accelerated, the indenture trustee

may, and at the direction of the majority of the noteholders of the affected series, class or tranche will, direct master trust II to sell credit card

receivables. However, this sale of receivables may occur only:

• if the conditions specified in “The Indenture—Events of Default” are satisfied and, for subordinated notes of a multiple tranche series, only to

the extent that payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same series; or

Table of Contents

• on the legal maturity date of those notes.

The holders of the accelerated notes will be paid their allocable share of the proceeds of a sale of credit card receivables. Upon the sale of the

receivables, the nominal liquidation amount of those accelerated notes will be reduced to zero. See “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale

of Credit Card Receivables.”

Security for the Notes

The notes of all series are secured by a shared security interest in the collateral certificate and the collection account, but each tranche of notes

is entitled to the benefits of only that portion of those assets allocated to it under the indenture and the indenture supplement.

Each tranche of notes is also secured by:

• a security interest in any applicable supplemental account; and

• a security interest in any derivative agreement for that tranche.

Limited Recourse to the Issuer

The sole source of payment for principal of or interest on a tranche of notes is provided by:

• the portion of collections of principal receivables and finance charge receivables received by the issuer under the collateral certificate and

available to that tranche of notes after giving effect to all allocations and reallocations;

• funds in the applicable issuer accounts for that tranche of notes; and

• payments received under any applicable derivative agreement for that tranche of notes.

Noteholders will have no recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the payment of principal of or interest on

the notes.

If there is a sale of credit card receivables (i) following the insolvency of MBNA, (ii) following an event of default and acceleration, or (iii) on

the applicable legal maturity date, each as described in “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables,” following such

sale those noteholders have recourse only to the proceeds of that sale, investment earnings on those proceeds and any funds previously

deposited in any applicable issuer account for such noteholders.

Registration, Clearance and Settlement

The notes offered by this prospectus will be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, and purchasers of notes

will only be entitled to receive a definitive certificate under limited circumstances. Owners of notes may elect to hold their notes through The

Depository Trust Company in the United States or through Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear System in Europe. Transfers will be

made in accordance with the rules and operating procedures of those clearing systems. See “The Notes—Book-Entry Notes.”

ERISA Eligibility

The indenture permits benefit plans to purchase notes of every class offered

pursuant to this prospectus and a related prospectus supplement. A fiduciary of a benefit plan should consult its counsel as to whether a

purchase of notes by the plan is permitted by ERISA and the Internal

Table of Contents

Revenue Code. See “Benefit Plan Investors.”

Tax Status

Subject to important considerations described under “Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this prospectus, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe

LLP, as special tax counsel to the issuer, is of the opinion that, for United States federal income tax purposes (1) the notes will be treated as

indebtedness and (2) the issuer will not be an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. In addition, noteholders will

agree, by acquiring notes, to treat the notes as debt for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

Denominations

The notes offered by this prospectus will be issued in denominations of $5,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount.

Record Date

The record date for payment of the notes will be the last day of the month before the related payment date.

Table of Contents

Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed in this section of the prospectus and in the accompanying prospectus supplement describe the principal risk

factors of an investment in the notes.

Some liens or interests may be given priority over your notes which could cause your receipt of payments to be delayed

or reduced.

MBNA will represent and warrant that its transfer of receivables to master trust II is either (1) an absolute sale of those

receivables or (2) the grant of a security interest in those receivables. For a description of master trust II’s rights if these

representations and warranties are not true, see “Master Trust II—Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus. In

addition, MBNA will represent and warrant that its transfer of the collateral certificate to the issuer is either (1) an absolute

sale of the collateral certificate or (2) the grant of a security interest in the collateral certificate.

MBNA will take steps under the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect master trust II’s interest in the receivables and the

issuer’s and the indenture trustee’s interest in the collateral certificate. Nevertheless, if the UCC does not govern these

transfers and if some other action is required under applicable law and has not been taken, payments to you could be

delayed or reduced.

MBNA will represent, warrant, and covenant that both its transfer of receivables to master trust II and its transfer of the

collateral certificate to the issuer is perfected and free and clear of the lien or interest of any other entity. If this is not true,

master trust II’s interest in the receivables and the issuer’s and the indenture trustee’s interest in the collateral certificate

could be impaired, and payments to you could be delayed or reduced. For instance,

• a prior or subsequent transferee of receivables could have an interest in the receivables superior to the interest of master

trust II, or a prior or subsequent transferee of the collateral certificate could have an interest in the collateral certificate

superior to the interest of the issuer and the indenture trustee;

• a tax, governmental, or other nonconsensual lien that attaches to the property of MBNA could have priority over the

interest of master trust II in the receivables and the interest of the issuer and the indenture trustee in the collateral

certificate; and

Table of Contents

•

the administrative expenses of a conservator or receiver for MBNA could be paid from collections on the receivables or

distributions on the collateral certificate before master trust II, the issuer or the indenture trustee receives any payments.

Regulatory action could cause delays or reductions in payment of your notes.

MBNA is chartered as a national banking association and is regulated and supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the

Currency, which is authorized to appoint the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as conservator or receiver for MBNA if

certain events occur relating to MBNA’s financial condition or the propriety of its actions. In addition, the FDIC could

appoint itself as conservator or receiver for MBNA.

Although MBNA will treat both its transfer of the receivables to master trust II and its transfer of the collateral certificate to

the issuer as sales for accounting purposes, each of these transfers may constitute the grant of a security interest under general

applicable law. Nevertheless, the FDIC has issued regulations surrendering certain rights under the Federal Deposit Insurance

Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, to reclaim, recover, or

recharacterize a financial institution’s transfer of financial assets such as the receivables and the collateral certificate if (i) the

transfer involved a securitization of the financial assets and meets specified conditions for treatment as a sale under relevant

accounting principles, (ii) the financial institution received adequate consideration for the transfer, (iii) the parties intended

that the transfer constitute a sale for accounting purposes, and (iv) the financial assets were not transferred fraudulently, in

contemplation of the financial institution’s insolvency, or with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the financial institution

or its creditors. The master trust II agreement and MBNA’s transfer of the receivables, as well as the trust agreement and

MBNA’s transfer of the collateral certificate, are intended to satisfy all of these conditions.

If a condition required under the FDIC’s regulations were found not to have been met, however, the FDIC could reclaim,

recover, or recharacterize MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate. The FDIA would limit master trust

II’s, the issuer’s or the indenture trustee’s damages in this event to its “actual direct compensatory damages” determined as of

the date

Table of Contents

that the FDIC was appointed as conservator or receiver for MBNA. The FDIC, moreover, could delay its decision whether to

reclaim, recover, or recharacterize MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate for a reasonable period

following its appointment as conservator or receiver for MBNA. Therefore, if the FDIC were to reclaim, recover, or

recharacterize MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate, payments to you could be delayed or reduced.

Even if the conditions set forth in the regulations were satisfied and the FDIC did not reclaim, recover, or recharacterize

MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate, you could suffer a loss on your investment if (i) the master

trust II agreement, the trust agreement, or MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate were found to

violate the regulatory requirements of the FDIA, (ii) master trust II, the master trust II trustee, the issuer, or the indenture

trustee were required to comply with the claims process established under the FDIA in order to collect payments on the

receivables or the collateral certificate, (iii) the FDIC were to request a stay of any action by master trust II, the master trust II

trustee, the issuer, or the indenture trustee to enforce the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement, the indenture, the

collateral certificate, or the notes, or (iv) the FDIC were to repudiate other parts of the master trust II agreement or the trust

agreement, such as any obligation to collect payments on or otherwise service the receivables or to manage the issuer.

In addition, regardless of the terms of the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement, or the indenture, and regardless of

the instructions of those authorized to direct the master trust II trustee’s, the issuer’s or the indenture trustee’s actions, the

FDIC as conservator or receiver for MBNA may have the power (i) to prevent or require the commencement of an early

redemption of the notes, (ii) to prevent, limit, or require the early liquidation of receivables or the collateral certificate and

termination of master trust II or the issuer, or (iii) to require, prohibit, or limit the continued transfer of receivables or

payments on the collateral certificate. Furthermore, regardless of the terms of the master trust II agreement or the trust

agreement, the FDIC (i) could prevent the appointment of a successor servicer or another manager for the issuer, (ii) could

authorize MBNA to stop servicing the receivables or managing the issuer, or (iii) could increase the amount or the priority of

the servicing fee due to MBNA or otherwise alter the terms under which MBNA services the receivables or manages the

issuer. If any of

Table of Contents

these events were to occur, payments to you could be delayed or reduced. See “Master Trust II—Servicer Default” in this

prospectus.

In addition, if insolvency proceedings were commenced by or against MBNA, or if certain time periods were to pass, master

trust II, the issuer and the indenture trustee may lose any perfected security interest in collections held by MBNA and

commingled with its other funds. See “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” and “Master Trust II

—Application of Collections” in this prospectus.

Furthermore, at any time, if the appropriate banking regulatory authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of the

Currency, were to conclude that any obligation under the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement or the indenture were

an unsafe or unsound practice or violated any law, rule, regulation or written condition or agreement applicable to MBNA,

such regulatory authority has the power to order MBNA, among other things, to rescind the agreement or contract, refuse to

perform that obligation, terminate the activity, amend the terms of such obligation or take such other action as such regulatory

authority determines to be appropriate. If such an order were issued, payments to you could be delayed or reduced, and

MBNA may not be liable to you for contractual damages for complying with such an order and you may have no recourse

against the relevant regulatory authority. See “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Certain Regulatory Matters” in

this prospectus.

Changes to consumer protection laws may impede collection efforts or alter timing and amount of collections which may

result in an acceleration of or reduction in payments on your notes.

Receivables that do not comply with consumer protection laws may not be valid or enforceable under their terms against the

obligors of those receivables.

Federal and state consumer protection laws regulate the creation and enforcement of consumer loans. Congress and the states

could further regulate the credit card and consumer credit industry in ways that make it more difficult for MBNA as servicer

of master trust II to collect payments on the receivables or that reduce the finance charges and other fees that MBNA as seller

to master trust II can charge on credit card account

Table of Contents

balances. For example, if MBNA were required to reduce its finance charges and other fees, resulting in a corresponding

decrease in the credit card accounts’ effective yield, this could lead to an early redemption event and could result in an

acceleration of payment or reduced payments on your notes. See “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Certain

Regulatory Matters” and “—Consumer Protection Laws” in this prospectus.

If a cardholder sought protection under federal or state bankruptcy or debtor relief laws, a court could reduce or discharge

completely the cardholder’s obligations to repay amounts due on its account and, as a result, the related receivables would be

written off as uncollectible. The noteholders could suffer a loss if no funds are available from credit enhancement or other

sources. See “Master Trust II—Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges” in this prospectus.

Competition in the credit card industry may result in a decline in ability to generate new receivables. This may result in the

payment of principal earlier or later than the expected principal payment date, or in reduced amounts.

The credit card industry is highly competitive. As new credit card companies enter the market and companies try to expand

their market share, effective advertising, target marketing and pricing strategies grow in importance. MBNA’s ability to

compete in this environment will affect its ability to generate new receivables and might also affect payment patterns on the

receivables. If the rate at which MBNA generates new receivables declines significantly, MBNA might be unable to transfer

additional receivables or designate additional credit card accounts to master trust II and a pay out event could occur, resulting

in payment of principal sooner than expected or in reduced amounts. If the rate at which MBNA generates new receivables

decreases significantly at a time when noteholders are scheduled to receive principal, noteholders might receive principal

more slowly than planned or in reduced amounts.

Table of Contents

Payment patterns of cardholders may not be consistent over time and variations in these payment patterns may result in

reduced payment of principal, or receipt of payment of principal earlier or later than expected.

Collections of principal receivables available to pay your notes on any principal payment date or to make deposits into an

issuer account will depend on many factors, including:

•

the rate of repayment of credit card balances by cardholders, which may be slower or faster than expected which may

cause payment on the notes to be earlier or later than expected;

•

the extent of credit card usage by cardholders, and the creation of additional receivables in the accounts designated to

master trust II; and

•

the rate of default by cardholders.

Changes in payment patterns and credit card usage result from a variety of economic, competitive, political, social and legal

factors. Economic factors include the rate of inflation, unemployment levels and relative interest rates. The availability of

incentive or other award programs may also affect cardholders’ actions. Social factors include consumer confidence levels

and the public’s attitude about incurring debt and the consequences of personal bankruptcy. In addition, acts of terrorism in

the United States and the political and military response to any such events may have an adverse effect on general economic

conditions, consumer confidence and general market liquidity.

We cannot predict how any of these or other factors will affect repayment patterns or credit card use and, consequently, the

timing and amount of payments on your notes. Any reductions in the amount, or delays in the timing, of interest or principal

payments will reduce the amount available for distribution on the notes.

Allocations of defaulted principal receivables and reallocation of available principal amounts could result in a reduction

in payment on your notes.

MBNA, as servicer, will write off the principal receivables arising in credit card accounts in the master trust II portfolio if the

principal receivables become uncollectible. Your notes will be allocated a portion of these defaulted principal receivables. In

addition, available principal amounts may be reallocated to pay

Table of Contents

interest on senior classes of notes or to pay a portion of the master trust II servicing fee. You may not receive full repayment

of your notes and full payment of interest due if (i) the nominal liquidation amount of your notes has been reduced by charge-

offs resulting from uncovered default amounts on principal receivables in master trust II or as the result of reallocations of

available principal amounts to pay interest and a portion of the master trust II servicing fee, and (ii) those amounts have not

been reimbursed from available funds. For a discussion of nominal liquidation amount, see “The Notes—Stated Principal

Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount.”

The note interest rate and the receivables interest rate may reset at different times or fluctuate differently, resulting in a

delay or reduction in payments on your notes.

Some credit card accounts may have finance charges set at a variable rate based on a designated index (for example, the prime

rate). A series, class or tranche of notes may bear interest either at a fixed rate or at a floating rate based on a different index.

If the rate charged on the credit card accounts declines, collections of finance charge receivables allocated to the collateral

certificate may be reduced without a corresponding reduction in the amounts payable as interest on the notes and other

amounts paid from collections of finance charge receivables. This could result in delayed or reduced principal and interest

payments to you.

Issuance of additional notes or master trust II investor certificates may affect the timing and amount of payments to you.

The issuer expects to issue notes from time to time, and master trust II may issue new investor certificates from time to time.

New notes and master trust II investor certificates may be issued without notice to existing noteholders, and without their

consent, and may have different terms from outstanding notes and investor certificates. For a description of the conditions

that must be met before master trust II can issue new investor certificates or the issuer can issue new notes, see “Master Trust

II—New Issuances” and “The Notes—Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes.”

The issuance of new notes or master trust II investor certificates could adversely affect the timing and amount of payments on

Table of Contents

outstanding notes. For example, if notes in your series issued after your notes have a higher interest rate than your notes, this

could result in a reduction in the available funds used to pay interest on your notes. Also, when new notes or investor

certificates are issued, the voting rights of your notes will be diluted. See “Risk Factors—You may have limited or no ability

to control actions under the indenture and the master trust II agreement” below.

Addition of credit card accounts to master trust II and attrition of credit card accounts and receivables from master trust II

may decrease the credit quality of the assets securing the repayment of your notes. If this occurs, your receipt of payments

of principal and interest may be reduced, delayed or accelerated.

The assets of master trust II, and therefore the assets allocable to the collateral certificate held by the issuer, change every day.

These changes may be the result of cardholder actions and preferences, marketing initiatives by MBNA and other card issuers

or other factors, including but not limited to, reductions in card usage, changes in payment patterns for revolving balances,

closing of accounts in the master trust II portfolio, and transfers or conversions of accounts in the master trust II portfolio to

new card accounts and other products. MBNA may choose, or may be required, to add credit card receivables to master trust

II. The credit card accounts from which these receivables arise may have different terms and conditions from the credit card

accounts already designated for master trust II. For example, the new credit card accounts may have higher or lower fees or

interest rates, or different payment terms.

We cannot guarantee that new credit card accounts will be of the same credit quality as the credit card accounts currently or

historically designated for master trust II. If the credit quality of the assets in master trust II were to deteriorate, the issuer’s

ability to make payments on the notes could be adversely affected. See “Master Trust II—Addition of Master Trust II Assets”

in this prospectus.

MBNA may not be able to generate new receivables or designate new credit card accounts to master trust II when required

by the master trust II agreement. This could result in an acceleration of or reduction in payments on your notes.

The issuer’s ability to make payments on the notes will be impaired if sufficient new credit card receivables are not

Table of Contents

generated by MBNA. MBNA may be prevented from generating sufficient new receivables or designating new credit card

accounts to add to master trust II, due to regulatory restrictions or for other reasons. We do not guarantee that new credit card

accounts or receivables will be created, that any credit card account or receivable created will be eligible for inclusion in

master trust II, that they will be added to master trust II, or that credit card receivables will be repaid at a particular time or

with a particular pattern.

The master trust II agreement provides that MBNA must add additional credit card receivables to master trust II if the total

amount of principal receivables in master trust II falls below specified percentages of the total investor interests of investor

certificates in master trust II. There is no guarantee that MBNA will have enough receivables to add to master trust II. If

MBNA does not make an addition of receivables within five business days after the date it is required to do so, a pay out event

will occur with respect to the collateral certificate. This would constitute an early redemption event and could result in an

early payment of your notes. See “Master Trust II—Addition of Master Trust II Assets,” “—Pay Out Events” and “The

Indenture—Early Redemption Events.”

MBNA may change the terms of the credit card accounts in a way that reduces or slows collections. These changes may

result in reduced, accelerated or delayed payments to you.

MBNA transfers the receivables to master trust II but continues to own the credit card accounts. As owner of the credit card

accounts, MBNA retains the right to change various credit card account terms (including finance charges and other fees it

charges and the required minimum monthly payment). An early redemption event could occur if MBNA reduced the finance

charges and other fees it charges and a corresponding decrease in the collection of finance charges and fees resulted. In

addition, changes in the credit card account terms may alter payment patterns. If payment rates decrease significantly at a

time when you are scheduled to receive principal, you might receive principal more slowly than planned.

MBNA will not reduce the interest rate it charges on the receivables or other fees if that action would cause a master trust II

pay out event or cause an early redemption event with respect to the notes unless MBNA is required by law or determines it is

Table of Contents

necessary to maintain its credit card business, based on its good faith assessment of its business competition.

MBNA will not change the terms of the credit card accounts or its servicing practices (including changes to the required

minimum monthly payment and the calculation of the amount or the timing of finance charges, other fees and charge-offs)

unless MBNA reasonably believes a master trust II pay out event would not occur for any master trust II series of investor

certificates and an early redemption event would not occur with respect to any tranche of notes and takes the same action on

other substantially similar credit card accounts, to the extent permitted by those credit card accounts.

For a discussion of early redemption events, see the accompanying prospectus supplement.

MBNA has no restrictions on its ability to change the terms of the credit card accounts except as described above or in the

accompanying prospectus supplement. Changes in relevant law, changes in the marketplace or prudent business practices

could cause MBNA to change credit card account terms. In addition, the consummation of the merger of Bank of America

Corporation and MBNA Corporation could result in changes to credit card account terms. See “MBNA and MBNA

Corporation—Bank of America Corporation/MBNA Corporation Merger.”

If MBNA breaches representations and warranties relating to the receivables, payments on your notes may be reduced.

MBNA, as seller of the receivables, makes representations and warranties relating to the validity and enforceability of the

receivables arising under the credit card accounts in the master trust II portfolio, and as to the perfection and priority of the

master trust II trustee’s interests in the receivables. However, the master trust II trustee will not make any examination of the

receivables or the related assets for the purpose of determining the presence of defects, compliance with the representations

and warranties or for any other purpose.

If a representation or warranty relating to the receivables is violated, the related obligors may have defenses to payment or

offset rights, or creditors of MBNA may claim rights to the master trust II assets. If a representation or warranty is violated,

MBNA may have an opportunity to cure the violation. If it is unable to cure the violation, subject to certain conditions

described under “Master Trust II—Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus, MBNA must accept

Table of Contents

reassignment of each receivable affected by the violation. These reassignments are the only remedy for breaches of

representations and warranties, even if your damages exceed your share of the reassignment price. See “Master Trust II—

Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus.

There is no public market for the notes. As a result you may be unable to sell your notes or the price of the notes may

suffer.

The underwriters of the notes may assist in resales of the notes but they are not required to do so. A secondary market for any

notes may not develop. If a secondary market does develop, it might not continue or it might not be sufficiently liquid to allow

you to resell any of your notes.

In addition, some notes have a more limited trading market and experience more price volatility. There may be a limited

number of buyers when you decide to sell those notes. This may affect the price you receive for the notes or your ability to

sell the notes. You should not purchase notes unless you understand and know you can bear the investment risks.

You may not be able to reinvest any early redemption proceeds in a comparable security.

If your notes are redeemed at a time when prevailing interest rates are relatively low, you may not be able to reinvest the

redemption proceeds in a comparable security with an effective interest rate equivalent to that of your notes.

If the ratings of the notes are lowered or withdrawn, their market value could decrease.

The initial rating of a note addresses the likelihood of the payment of interest on that note when due and the ultimate payment

of principal of that note by its legal maturity date. The ratings do not address the likelihood of payment of principal of a note

on its expected principal payment date. In addition, the ratings do not address the possibility of early payment or acceleration

of a note, which could be caused by an early redemption event or an event of default. See “The Indenture—Early Redemption

Events” and “—Events of Default.”

The ratings of the notes are not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the notes. The ratings of the notes may be lowered or

withdrawn entirely at any time by the applicable rating agency. The market value of the notes could decrease if the ratings are

lowered or withdrawn.

Table of Contents

You may have limited or no ability to control actions under the indenture and the master trust II agreement. This may

result in, among other things, payment of principal being accelerated when it is in your interest to receive payment of

principal on the expected principal payment date, or it may result in payment of principal not being accelerated when it is

in your interest to receive early payment of principal.

Under the indenture, some actions require the consent of noteholders holding a specified percentage of the aggregate

outstanding dollar principal amount of notes of a series, class or tranche or all the notes. These actions include consenting to

amendments relating to the collateral certificate. In the case of votes by series or votes by holders of all of the notes, the

outstanding dollar principal amount of the senior-most classes of notes will generally be substantially greater than the

outstanding dollar principal amount of the subordinated classes of notes. Consequently, the noteholders of the senior-most

class of notes will generally have the ability to determine whether and what actions should be taken. The subordinated

noteholders will generally need the concurrence of the senior-most noteholders to cause actions to be taken.

The collateral certificate is an investor certificate under the master trust II agreement, and noteholders have indirect consent

rights under the master trust II agreement. See “The Indenture—Voting.” Under the master trust II agreement, some actions

require the vote of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all of the investor certificates. These actions

include consenting to amendments to the master trust II agreement. While the outstanding principal amount of the collateral

certificate is currently larger than the outstanding principal amount of the other series of investor certificates issued by master

trust II, noteholders may need the concurrence of the holders of the other investor certificates to cause actions to be taken.

Additionally, other series of investor certificates may be issued by master trust II in the future without the consent of any

noteholders. See “Master Trust II—New Issuances.” If new series of investor certificates are issued, the holders of investor

certificates—other than the collateral certificate—may have the ability to determine whether and to what extent actions are

taken regarding master trust II. As a result, the noteholders, in exercising their voting powers under the collateral certificate,

would generally need the concurrence of the holders of the other investor certificates to cause actions to be taken.

Table of Contents

If an event of default occurs, your remedy options may be limited and you may not receive full payment of principal and

accrued interest.

Your remedies may be limited if an event of default under your series, class or tranche of notes occurs. After an event of

default affecting your series, class or tranche of notes and an acceleration of your notes, any funds in an issuer account with

respect to that series, class or tranche of notes will be applied to pay principal of and interest on those notes. Then, in each

following month, available principal amounts and available funds will be deposited into the applicable issuer account, and

applied to make monthly principal and interest payments on those notes until the legal maturity date of those notes.

However, if your notes are subordinated notes of a multiple tranche series, you generally will receive payment of principal of

those notes only if and to the extent that, after giving effect to that payment, the required subordination will be maintained for

the senior classes of notes in that series.

Following an event of default and acceleration, holders of the affected notes will have the ability to direct a sale of credit card

receivables held by master trust II only under the limited circumstances as described in “The Indenture—Events of Default”

and “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables.”

However, following an event of default and acceleration with respect to subordinated notes of a multiple tranche series, if the

indenture trustee or a majority of the noteholders of the affected class or tranche directs master trust II to sell credit card

receivables, the sale will occur only if, after giving effect to that payment, the required subordination will be maintained for

the senior notes in that series by the remaining notes or if such sale occurs on the legal maturity date. However, if principal of

or interest on a tranche of notes has not been paid in full on its legal maturity date, the sale will automatically take place on

that date regardless of the subordination requirements of any senior classes of notes.

Even if a sale of receivables is permitted, we can give no assurance that the proceeds of the sale will be enough to pay unpaid

principal of and interest on the accelerated notes.

Glossary

This prospectus uses defined terms. You can find a listing of defined terms in the “Glossary of Defined Terms” beginning on page 108

in this prospectus.

The Issuer

MBNA Credit Card Master Note Trust will be the issuer of the notes. The issuer’s principal offices will be at Rodney Square North,

1100 N. Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee.

The issuer’s activities will be limited to:

• acquiring and holding the collateral certificate, and other certificates of beneficial interest in master trust II, and the other assets of the

issuer and the proceeds from these assets;

• issuing notes;

• making payments on the notes; and

• engaging in other activities that are necessary or incidental to accomplish these limited purposes.

The assets of the issuer will consist primarily of:

• the collateral certificate;

• derivative agreements that the issuer will enter into from time to time to manage interest rate or currency risk relating to certain series,

classes or tranches of notes; and

• funds on deposit in the issuer accounts.

It is not expected that the issuer will have any other significant assets.

UCC financing statements will be filed to perfect the ownership or security interests of the issuer and the indenture trustee described

herein.

The issuer will operate pursuant to a trust agreement between MBNA and Wilmington Trust Company, the owner trustee. The issuer

will not have any officers or directors. Its sole beneficiary will be MBNA. As beneficiary, MBNA will generally direct the actions of the issuer.

MBNA and the owner trustee may amend the trust agreement without the consent of the noteholders or the indenture trustee so long as

the amendment will not (i) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the noteholders or (ii) significantly change the purpose and

powers of the issuer, as set forth in the trust agreement. Accordingly, neither the indenture trustee nor any holder of any note will be entitled to

vote on any such amendment.

In addition, if holders of not less than (a) in the case of a significant change in the purpose and powers of the issuer which is not

reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the noteholders, a majority of the aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the

notes affected by an amendment consent, and (b) in all other cases, 66

/3% of the

Table of Contents

aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes affected by an amendment consent, the trust agreement may also be amended for

the purpose of (i) adding, changing or eliminating any provisions of the trust agreement or of modifying the rights of those noteholders or (ii)

significantly changing the purposes and powers of the issuer.

In addition, a noteholder will not have any right to consent to any amendment to the trust agreement providing for a change in the

beneficiary or other related amendments in connection with replacing MBNA, as seller under the master trust II agreement, with a bankruptcy-

remote special purpose entity.

See “The Indenture—Tax Opinions for Amendments” for additional conditions to amending the trust agreement.

Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds from the sale of each series, class and tranche of notes offered hereby will be paid to MBNA. MBNA will use such

proceeds for its general corporate purposes.

MBNA and MBNA Corporation

MBNA America Bank, National Association, a national banking association located in Wilmington, Delaware, conducts nationwide

consumer lending programs, principally comprised of credit card related activities. MBNA has two wholly-owned non-U.S. bank subsidiaries,

MBNA Europe Bank Limited, with its headquarters in the United Kingdom, and MBNA Canada Bank, located in Canada.

MBNA conducts all direct customer contact processes with respect to the cardholder. This involves a 24 hour, 365 day per year

Customer Service telephone staff, credit decisions, correspondence resolution, security and collection operations.

MBNA is a principal wholly-owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation.

Bank of America Corporation/MBNA Corporation Merger

On June 30, 2005, Bank of America Corporation and MBNA Corporation announced they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of

Merger, dated as of June 30, 2005 (the “merger agreement”). The merger agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Bank of

America Corporation and MBNA Corporation and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and MBNA Corporation

stockholders’ approvals. It is anticipated that the merger will be closed in the fourth quarter of 2005.

MBNA is a principal wholly-owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation. MBNA is the seller and the servicer of master trust II, whose

assets consist primarily of credit card receivables arising in a portfolio of consumer revolving credit card accounts. MBNA is also the

originator of the issuer, whose primary asset is the collateral certificate representing an undivided interest in the assets of master trust II.

Table of Contents

Bank of America Corporation and MBNA Corporation have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate,

independently. However, when and if the merger is completed, MBNA’s business may be adversely impacted by difficulties or delays in

integrating the businesses of Bank of America Corporation and MBNA Corporation. MBNA’s existing businesses and/or practices also may be

changed, replaced, reorganized or adversely impacted as a result of the merger, including, but not limited to, servicing, technology systems,

marketing, credit card origination and underwriting. Additionally, certain credit card accounts originated, underwritten or owned by Bank of

America Corporation or its affiliates may become eligible for inclusion in the Master Trust II Portfolio in the future. As a result, we cannot

predict if or how any of these or other factors in connection with the merger will adversely affect master trust II and, consequently, the timing

and amount of payments on your notes.

The MBNA/American Express Agreement

MBNA and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. have entered into a card issuer agreement allowing MBNA to

issue cards that carry the American Express logo and will be accepted on the American Express global merchants network. MBNA became the

first major U.S. financial institution to enter into such an agreement with American Express. On October 4, 2004, the United States Supreme

Court decided to let stand a lower court ruling that effectively allowed banks that issue cards on Visa’s or MasterCard’s networks also to issue

cards on competitor networks (such as the American Express global merchants network). MBNA began marketing American Express branded

credit cards in the fourth quarter of 2004.

The master trust II agreement has been amended to allow for (i) the addition of American Express credit card accounts in the Master

Trust II Portfolio and (ii) the conversion of Visa and MasterCard credit card accounts presently included in the Master Trust II Portfolio to

American Express credit card accounts. Receivables arising under American Express credit card accounts were added to master trust II starting

in late 2004.

Industry Developments

MBNA issues credit cards on MasterCard’s and Visa’s networks. MasterCard and Visa are facing significant litigation and increased

competition. In 2003, MasterCard and Visa settled a suit by Wal-Mart and other merchants who claimed that MasterCard and Visa unlawfully

tied acceptance of debit cards to acceptance of credit cards. Under the settlement MasterCard and Visa are required to, among other things,

allow merchants to accept MasterCard or Visa branded credit cards without accepting their debit cards (and vice versa), reduce the prices

charged to merchants for off-line signature debit transactions for a period of time, and pay over ten years amounts totaling $3.05 billion into a

settlement fund. MasterCard and Visa are also parties to suits by U.S. merchants who opted out of the Wal-Mart settlement.

In October 2004, the United States Supreme Court let stand a federal court decision in a suit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice,

in which MasterCard and Visa rules prohibiting banks that issue cards on MasterCard and Visa networks from issuing cards on other networks

(the “association rules”) were found to have violated federal antitrust laws. This decision effectively permits banks that issue cards on Visa’s or

MasterCard’s networks, such as MBNA and MBNA Corporation’s other banking subsidiaries, to issue cards on

Table of Contents

competitor networks. Discover and American Express have initiated separate civil lawsuits against MasterCard and Visa claiming substantial

damages stemming from the association rules. MasterCard and Visa are also parties to suits alleging that MasterCard’s and Visa’s currency

conversion practices are unlawful.

In June 2005, certain retail merchants filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of

Connecticut, alleging that MasterCard and Visa and their member banks, including MBNA, conspired to charge retailers excessive interchange

and other fees in violation of federal antitrust laws. Additionally, in July 2005, certain retail merchants filed a purported class action lawsuit

against Visa in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging, among other things, that Visa and its member

banks conspired to fix interchange fees.

The costs associated with these and other matters could cause MasterCard and Visa to invest less in their networks and marketing

efforts and could adversely affect the interchange paid to their member banks, including MBNA.

Litigation

Securities Class Actions

In May and June 2005, several lawsuits were filed in federal court against MBNA Corporation, which is the parent of MBNA, and

certain of its officers. These lawsuits are purported class actions seeking unspecified damages, interest and costs, including reasonable

attorneys’ fees, stemming from alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On April 21, 2005, MBNA Corporation

announced in its first quarter earnings release that management believed MBNA Corporation’s 2005 earnings would be “significantly below”

its previously-stated growth objective. MBNA Corporation’s stock price dropped following publication of that earnings release. The lawsuits

allege that MBNA Corporation and certain of its officers violated federal securities laws through material misstatements and omissions

regarding MBNA Corporation’s business, which the plaintiffs allege had the effect of inflating MBNA Corporation’s stock price. Additionally,

in May and June 2005, shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in federal court on behalf of MBNA Corporation alleging that certain officers

and directors of MBNA Corporation breached their fiduciary duties to MBNA Corporation and violated federal securities laws.

In June 2005, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against MBNA

Corporation, the Pension & 401(k) Plan Committee of MBNA Corporation and certain directors and officers of MBNA Corporation. The

lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as a result of breaches

of fiduciary duties owed to the 401(k) plan participants and beneficiaries. Specifically, the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties related to, but

are not limited to, (i) offering MBNA Corporation common stock as an investment option, (ii) purchasing MBNA Corporation stock for the

401(k) plan, (iii) holding MBNA Corporation stock in the 401(k) plan, (iv) failing to monitor the 401(k) plan’s investment in MBNA

Corporation stock and (v) failing to communicate information

Table of Contents

concerning MBNA Corporation’s financial performance to 401(k) plan participants and beneficiaries.

MBNA Corporation denies the claims made in the class action, shareholder derivative and ERISA lawsuits and intends to defend these

matters vigorously.

Foreign Currency Conversion Fee Litigation

MBNA and MBNA Corporation are among the card issuers who are defendants in In Re Currency Conversion Fee Antitrust Litigation,

a class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that relates to foreign currency conversion fees charged to

customers. MasterCard and Visa applied a currency conversion rate, equal to a wholesale rate plus 1% to credit card transactions in foreign

currencies for conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. dollars. MasterCard and Visa required MBNA and other member banks to disclose

the 1% add-on to the wholesale rate if the bank chose to pass it along to the cardholder. MBNA disclosed this information in its cardholder

agreements. In January 2002, MBNA and MBNA Corporation were added as defendants in the matter. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants

conspired in violation of the antitrust laws to charge foreign currency conversion fees and failed to properly disclose the fees in solicitations

and applications, initial disclosure statements and cardholder statements, in violation of the Truth-in-Lending Act. The plaintiffs also claim that

the bank defendants and MasterCard and Visa conspired to charge the 1% foreign currency conversion fee assessed by MasterCard and Visa

and an additional fee assessed by some issuers. In the United States MBNA did not charge the additional fee on consumer credit cards in

addition to the fee charged by MasterCard and Visa. However, MBNA did charge such an additional fee on business credit cards. The plaintiffs

are seeking unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. In July 2003, the court granted a motion to dismiss certain Truth-in-Lending

Act claims against MBNA, MBNA Corporation and other defendants, but denied a motion to dismiss the antitrust claims against the

defendants. In October 2004, a class was certified by the court. MBNA and MBNA Corporation intend to defend this matter vigorously and

believe that the claim is without merit.

MBNA is also named as a defendant in the merchants antitrust litigation filed in June 2005, as described above in “—Industry

Developments.” MBNA is in the process of reviewing and assessing the impact of the lawsuit. MBNA and its affiliates are commonly subject

to various pending or threatened legal proceedings, including certain class actions, arising out of the normal course of business. In view of the

inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, MBNA cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be.

Table of Contents

The Notes

The notes will be issued pursuant to the indenture and a related indenture supplement. The following discussion and the discussions

under “The Indenture” in this prospectus and certain sections in the related prospectus supplement summarize the material terms of the notes,

the indenture and the indenture supplements. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to

the provisions of the indenture and the indenture supplements. The indenture does not limit the aggregate stated principal amount of notes that

may be issued.

The notes will be issued in series. Each series of notes will represent a contractual debt obligation of the issuer which shall be in

addition to the debt obligations of the issuer represented by any other series of notes. Each series will be issued pursuant to the indenture and an

indenture supplement, copies of the forms of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each

prospectus supplement will describe the provisions specific to the related series, class or tranche of notes.

The following summaries describe certain provisions common to each series of notes.

General

Each series of notes is expected to consist of multiple classes of notes. Some series, if so specified in the accompanying prospectus

supplement, may be multiple tranche series, meaning they have classes consisting of multiple tranches. Whenever a “class” of notes is referred

to in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, it also includes all tranches of that class, unless the context otherwise requires.

The issuer may issue different tranches of notes of a multiple tranche series at the same time or at different times, but no senior tranche

of notes of a series may be issued unless a sufficient amount of subordinated notes (or other form of credit enhancement) of that series will be

issued on that date or has previously been issued and is outstanding and available as subordination (or other credit enhancement) for such

senior tranche of notes. See “—Required Subordinated Amount.”

If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the notes of a series may be included in a group of series for purposes of sharing

Available Principal Amounts and Available Funds.

The issuer may offer notes denominated in U.S. dollars or any foreign currency. We will describe the specific terms of any note

denominated in a foreign currency in the related prospectus supplement.

If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the noteholders of a particular series, class or tranche may have the benefit of a

derivative agreement, including an interest rate or currency swap, cap, collar, guaranteed investment contract or other similar agreement with

various counterparties. The specific terms of each derivative agreement and a description of each counterparty will be included in the related

prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

The issuer will pay principal of and interest on a series, class or tranche of notes solely from the portion of Available Funds and

Available Principal Amounts which are allocable to that series, class or tranche of notes after giving effect to all allocations and reallocations,

amounts in any issuer accounts relating to that series, class or tranche of notes, and amounts received under any derivative agreement relating to

that series, class or tranche of notes. If those sources are not sufficient to pay the notes, those noteholders will have no recourse to any other

assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the payment of principal of or interest on those notes.

Holders of notes of any outstanding series, class or tranche will not have the right to prior review of, or consent to, any subsequent

issuance of notes.

Interest

Interest will accrue on the notes, except on discount notes, from the relevant issuance date at the applicable note rate, which may be a

fixed, floating or other type of rate as specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Interest will be distributed or deposited with

respect to noteholders on the dates described in the related prospectus supplement. Interest payments or deposits will be funded from Available

Funds allocated to the notes during the preceding month or months, from any applicable credit enhancement, if necessary, and from certain

other amounts specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

For each issuance of fixed rate notes, we will designate in the related prospectus supplement the fixed rate of interest at which interest

will accrue on those notes. For each issuance of floating rate notes, we will designate in the related prospectus supplement the interest rate

index or other formula on which the interest is based. A discount note will be issued at a price lower than the stated principal amount payable

on the expected principal payment date of that note. Until the expected principal payment date for a discount note, accreted principal will be

capitalized as part of the principal of the note and reinvested in the collateral certificate, so long as an early redemption event or an event of

default and acceleration has not occurred. If applicable, the related prospectus supplement will specify the interest rate to be borne by a

discount note after an event of default or after its expected principal payment date.

Each payment of interest on a note will include all interest accrued from the preceding interest payment date—or, for the first interest

period, from the issuance date—through the day preceding the current interest payment date, or any other period as may be specified in the

related prospectus supplement. We refer to each period during which interest accrues as an “interest period.” Interest on a note will be due and

payable on each interest payment date.

If interest on a note is not paid within 35 days after such interest is due, an event of default will occur with respect to that note. See “The

Indenture—Events of Default.”

Principal

The timing of payment of principal of a note will be specified in the related prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

Principal of a note may be paid later than its expected principal payment date if sufficient funds are not allocated from master trust II to

the collateral certificate or are not allocable to the series, class or tranche of the note to be paid. It is not an event of default if the principal of a

note is not paid on its expected principal payment date. However, if the principal amount of a note is not paid in full by its legal maturity date,

an event of default will occur with respect to that note. See “The Indenture—Events of Default.”

Principal of a note may be paid earlier than its expected principal payment date if an early redemption event or an event of default and

acceleration occurs. See “The Indenture—Early Redemption Events” and “—Events of Default.”

See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement for a discussion of factors that may affect the

timing of principal payments on the notes.

Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount

Each note has a stated principal amount, an outstanding dollar principal amount and a nominal liquidation amount.

Stated Principal Amount

The stated principal amount of a note is the amount that is stated on the face of the notes to be payable to the holder. It can be

denominated in U.S. dollars or in a foreign currency.

Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount

For dollar notes, the outstanding dollar principal amount is the initial dollar principal amount (as set forth in the applicable supplement

to this prospectus) of the notes, less principal payments to the noteholders. For foreign currency notes, the outstanding dollar principal amount

is the dollar equivalent of the initial dollar principal amount (as set forth in the applicable supplement to this prospectus) of the notes, less

dollar payments to derivative counterparties or, in the event the derivative agreement is non-performing, less dollar payments converted to

make payments to noteholders, each with respect to principal. For discount notes, the outstanding dollar principal amount is an amount stated

in, or determined by a formula described in, the related prospectus supplement. The outstanding dollar principal amount of a discount note will

increase over time as principal accretes. The outstanding dollar principal amount of any note will decrease as a result of each payment of

principal of the note.

In addition, a note may have an Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount. The Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of

a note is the outstanding dollar principal amount, less any funds on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for that note. The Adjusted

Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any note will decrease as a result of each deposit into the principal funding subaccount for such note.

Nominal Liquidation Amount

The nominal liquidation amount of a note is a dollar amount based on the initial outstanding dollar principal amount of that note, but

with some reductions—including

Table of Contents

reductions from reallocations of Available Principal Amounts, allocations of charge-offs for uncovered defaults allocable to the collateral

certificate and deposits in a principal funding subaccount for such note—and increases described below. The aggregate nominal liquidation

amount of all of the notes will always be equal to the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate, and the nominal liquidation amount of any

particular note corresponds to the portion of the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate that would be allocated to that note if master trust

II were liquidated.

The nominal liquidation amount of a note may be reduced as follows:

• If Available Funds allocable to a series of notes are insufficient to fund the portion of defaults on principal receivables in master trust

II allocable to such series of notes (which will be allocated to each series of notes pro rata based on the Weighted Average Available

Funds Allocation Amount of all notes in such series) such uncovered defaults will result in a reduction of the nominal liquidation

amount of such series. Within each series, unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, subordinated classes of

notes will bear the risk of reduction in their nominal liquidation amount due to charge-offs resulting from uncovered defaults before

senior classes of notes.

In a multiple tranche series, while these reductions will be initially allocated pro rata to each tranche of notes, they will then be

reallocated to the subordinated classes of notes in that series in succession, beginning with the most subordinated classes. However,

these reallocations will be made from senior notes to subordinated notes only to the extent that such senior notes have not used all of

their required subordinated amount. For any tranche, the required subordinated amount will be specified in the related prospectus

supplement. For multiple tranche series, these reductions will generally be allocated within each class pro rata to each outstanding

tranche of the related class based on the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount of such tranche. Reductions that

cannot be reallocated to a subordinated tranche will reduce the nominal liquidation amount of the tranche to which the reductions were

initially allocated.

• If Available Principal Amounts are reallocated from subordinated notes of a series to pay interest on senior notes, any shortfall in the

payment of the master trust II servicing fee or any other shortfall with respect to Available Funds which Available Principal Amounts

are reallocated to cover, the nominal liquidation amount of those subordinated notes will be reduced by the amount of the

reallocations. The amount of the reallocation of Available Principal Amounts will be applied to reduce the nominal liquidation

amount of the subordinated classes of notes in that series in succession, to the extent of such senior tranches’ required subordinated

amount of the related subordinated notes, beginning with the most subordinated classes. No Available Principal Amounts will be

reallocated to pay interest on a senior class of notes or any portion of the master trust II servicing fee if such reallocation would result

in the reduction of the nominal liquidation amount of such senior class of notes. For a multiple tranche series, these reductions will

generally be allocated within each class

Table of Contents

pro rata to each outstanding tranche of the related class based on the Weighted Average Available Funds Allocation Amount of such

tranche.

• The nominal liquidation amount of a note will be reduced by the amount on deposit in its respective principal funding subaccount.

• The nominal liquidation amount of a note will be reduced by the amount of all payments of principal of that note.

• Upon a sale of credit card receivables after the insolvency of MBNA, an event of default and acceleration or on the legal maturity date

of a note, the nominal liquidation amount of such note will be automatically reduced to zero. See “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—

Sale of Credit Card Receivables.”

The nominal liquidation amount of a note can be increased in two ways.

• For discount notes, the nominal liquidation amount will increase over time as principal accretes, to the extent that Available Funds are

allocated for that purpose.

• If Available Funds are available, they will be applied to reimburse earlier reductions in the nominal liquidation amount from charge-

offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II, or from reallocations of Available Principal Amounts from

subordinated classes to pay shortfalls of Available Funds. Within each series, the increases will be allocated first to the senior-most

class with a deficiency in its nominal liquidation amount and then, in succession, to the subordinated classes with a deficiency in the

nominal liquidation amount. In a multiple tranche series, the increases will be further allocated to each tranche of a class pro rata

based on the deficiency in the nominal liquidation amount in each tranche.

In most circumstances, the nominal liquidation amount of a note, together with any accumulated Available Principal Amounts held in a

principal funding subaccount, will be equal to the outstanding dollar principal amount of that note. However, if there are reductions in the

nominal liquidation amount as a result of reallocations of Available Principal Amounts from that note to pay interest on senior classes or the

master trust II servicing fee, or as a result of charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II allocable to the

collateral certificate, there will be a deficit in the nominal liquidation amount of that note. Unless that deficiency is reimbursed through the

reinvestment of Available Funds in the collateral certificate, the stated principal amount of that note will not be paid in full.

A subordinated note’s nominal liquidation amount represents the maximum amount of Available Principal Amounts that may be

reallocated from such note to pay interest on senior notes or the master trust II servicing fee of the same series and the maximum amount of

charge-offs for uncovered defaults on the principal receivables in master trust II that may be allocated to such note. The nominal liquidation

amount is also used to calculate the amount of Available Principal Amounts that can be allocated for payment of principal of a class or tranche

of notes, or paid to the counterparty to a derivative agreement, if applicable. This means that if the nominal liquidation amount of a class or

tranche of notes has been reduced by charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II or by reallocations of

Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on senior notes or the master trust

Table of Contents

II servicing fee, the holders of notes with the reduced nominal liquidation amount will receive less than the full stated principal amount of their

notes, either because the amount of dollars allocated to pay them is less than the outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes, or because

the amount of dollars allocated to pay the counterparty to a derivative agreement is less than the amount necessary to obtain enough of the

applicable foreign currency for payment of their notes in full.

The nominal liquidation amount of a note may not be reduced below zero, and may not be increased above the outstanding dollar

principal amount of that note, less any amounts on deposit in the applicable principal funding subaccount.

If a note held by MBNA, the issuer or any of their affiliates is canceled, the nominal liquidation amount of that note is automatically

reduced to zero, with a corresponding automatic reduction in the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate.

The cumulative amount of reductions of the nominal liquidation amount of any class or tranche of notes due to the reallocation of

Available Principal Amounts to pay Available Funds shortfalls will be limited as described in the related prospectus supplement.

Allocations of charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II and reallocations of Available Principal

Amounts to cover Available Funds shortfalls reduce the nominal liquidation amount of outstanding notes only and do not affect notes that are

issued after that time.

Final Payment of the Notes

Noteholders will not receive payment of principal in excess of the highest outstanding dollar principal amount of that series, class or

tranche, or in the case of foreign currency notes, any amount received by the issuer under a derivative agreement with respect to principal.

Following the insolvency of MBNA, following an event of default and acceleration or on the legal maturity date of a series, class or

tranche of notes, credit card receivables in an aggregate amount not to exceed the nominal liquidation amount, plus any past due, accrued and

additional interest, of the related series, class or tranche will be sold by master trust II. The proceeds of such sale will be applied to the extent

available to pay the outstanding principal amount of, plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on, those notes on the date of the sale.

A series, class or tranche of notes will be considered to be paid in full, the holders of those notes will have no further right or claim, and

the issuer will have no further obligation or liability for principal or interest, on the earliest to occur of:

• the date of the payment in full of the stated principal amount of and all accrued, past due and additional interest on those notes;

• the date on which the outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes is reduced to zero and all accrued, past due and additional

interest on those notes is paid in full; or

• the legal maturity date of those notes, after giving effect to all deposits, allocations, reallocations, sale of credit card receivables and

payments to be made on that date.

Table of Contents

Subordination of Interest and Principal

Interest and principal payments on subordinated classes of notes of a series may be subordinated as described in the related prospectus

supplement.

Available Principal Amounts may be reallocated to pay interest on senior classes of notes of, or a portion of the master trust II servicing

fee allocated to, that series. In addition, unless otherwise indicated in the related prospectus supplement, subordinated classes of notes bear the

risk of reduction in their nominal liquidation amount due to charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II before

senior classes of notes. In a multiple tranche series, charge-offs from uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II are generally

allocated first to each class of a series and then reallocated to the subordinated classes of such series, reducing the nominal liquidation amount

of such subordinated classes to the extent credit enhancement in the form of subordination is still available for the senior classes. See “The

Notes—Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount—Nominal Liquidation Amount.”

Required Subordinated Amount

The required subordinated amount of a senior class or tranche of notes is the amount of a subordinated class that is required to be

outstanding and available to provide subordination for that senior class or tranche on the date when the senior class or tranche of notes is

issued. Such amount will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. No notes of a series may be issued unless the required

subordinated amount for that class or tranche of notes is available at the time of its issuance, as described in the related prospectus supplement.

The required subordinated amount is also used, in conjunction with usage, to determine whether a subordinated class or tranche of a multiple

tranche series may be repaid before its legal maturity date while senior notes of that series are outstanding.

The issuer may change the required subordinated amount for any tranche of notes at any time, without the consent of any noteholders,

so long as the issuer has (i) received confirmation from the rating agencies that have rated any outstanding notes of the related series that the

change in the required subordinated amount will not result in the reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any outstanding notes

in that series and (ii) delivered to the indenture trustee and the rating agencies a master trust II tax opinion and issuer tax opinion, as described

under “The Indenture—Tax Opinions for Amendments.”

Early Redemption of Notes

Each series, class and tranche of notes will be subject to mandatory redemption on its expected principal payment date, which will

generally be 29 months before its legal maturity date. In addition, if any other early redemption event occurs, the issuer will be required to

redeem each series, class or tranche of the affected notes before the expected principal payment date of that series, class or tranche of notes;

however, for any such affected notes with the benefit of a derivative agreement, subject to certain exceptions, such redemption will not occur

earlier than such notes’ expected principal payment date if so specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The issuer will give

notice to holders of the affected

Table of Contents

notes before an early redemption date. See “The Indenture—Early Redemption Events” for a description of the early redemption events and

their consequences to noteholders.

Whenever the issuer redeems a series, class or tranche of notes, it will do so only to the extent of Available Funds and Available

Principal Amounts allocated to that series, class or tranche of notes, and only to the extent that the notes to be redeemed are not required to

provide required subordination for senior notes. A noteholder will have no claim against the issuer if the issuer fails to make a required

redemption of notes before the legal maturity date because no funds are available for that purpose or because the notes to be redeemed are

required to provide subordination for senior notes. The failure to redeem before the legal maturity date under these circumstances will not be

an event of default.

If so specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the servicer may direct the issuer to redeem the notes of any series, class or

tranche before its expected principal payment date. The prospectus supplement will indicate at what times and under what conditions the issuer

may exercise that right of redemption and if the redemption may be made in whole or in part, as well as other terms of the redemption. The

issuer will give notice to holders of the affected notes before any optional redemption date.

Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the issuer may issue new notes of any series, class or tranche

only if the conditions of issuance are met (or waived as described below). These conditions include:

• on or before the third Business Day before a new issuance of notes, the issuer gives the indenture trustee and the rating agencies

written notice of the issuance;

• on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, the issuer delivers to the indenture trustee and each rating agency a certificate

to the effect that:

—the issuer reasonably believes that the new issuance will not at the time of its occurrence or at a future date (i) cause an early

redemption event or event of default, (ii) adversely affect the amount of funds available to be distributed to noteholders of any

series, class or tranche of notes or the timing of such distributions or (iii) adversely affect the security interest of the indenture

trustee in the collateral securing the outstanding notes;

—all instruments furnished to the indenture trustee conform to the requirements of the indenture and constitute sufficient authority

under the indenture for the indenture trustee to authenticate and deliver the notes;

—the form and terms of the notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of the indenture;

—all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the issuer of the notes have been complied with, the issuer

has the power and authority to issue the notes, and the notes have been duly authorized and delivered by the issuer, and, assuming

due authentication and delivery by the indenture trustee, constitute legal,

Table of Contents

valid and binding obligations of the issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to certain limitations and

conditions), and are entitled to the benefits of the indenture equally and ratably with all other notes, if any, of such series, class or

tranche outstanding subject to the terms of the indenture, each indenture supplement and each terms document; and

—the issuer shall have satisfied such other matters as the indenture trustee may reasonably request;

• the issuer delivers to the indenture trustee and the rating agencies an opinion of counsel that for federal income tax purposes (i) the

new issuance will not adversely affect the tax characterization as debt of any outstanding series or class of investor certificates issued

by master trust II that were characterized as debt at the time of their issuance, (ii) following the new issuance, master trust II will not

be treated as an association, or a publicly traded partnership, taxable as a corporation, and (iii) the new issuance will not cause or

constitute an event in which gain or loss would be recognized by any holder of an investor certificate issued by master trust II;

• the issuer delivers to the indenture trustee and the rating agencies an opinion of counsel that for federal income tax purposes (i) the

new issuance will not adversely affect the tax characterization as debt of any outstanding series, class or tranche of notes that were

characterized as debt at the time of their issuance, (ii) following the new issuance, the issuer will not be treated as an association, or

publicly traded partnership, taxable as a corporation, (iii) such issuance will not cause or constitute an event in which gain or loss

would be recognized by any holder of such outstanding notes and (iv) except as provided in the related indenture supplement,

following the new issuance of a series, class or tranche of notes, the newly issued series, class or tranche of notes will be properly

characterized as debt;

• the issuer delivers to the indenture trustee an indenture supplement and terms document relating to the applicable series, class or

tranche of notes;

• no Pay Out Event with respect to the collateral certificate has occurred or is continuing as of the date of the new issuance;

• in the case of foreign currency notes, the issuer appoints one or more paying agents in the appropriate countries;

• each rating agency that has rated any outstanding notes has provided confirmation that the new issuance of notes will not cause a

reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any outstanding notes rated by that rating agency;

• the provisions governing required subordinated amounts are satisfied; and

• any other conditions in the accompanying prospectus supplement are satisfied.

If the issuer obtains confirmation from each rating agency that has rated any outstanding notes that the issuance of a new series, class or

tranche of notes will not cause a reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any outstanding notes rated by that rating agency, then

some of the conditions described above may be waived.

Table of Contents

The issuer and the indenture trustee are not required to obtain the consent of any noteholder of any outstanding series, class or tranche to

issue any additional notes of any series, class or tranche.

There are no restrictions on the timing or amount of any additional issuance of notes of an outstanding tranche of a multiple tranche

series, so long as the conditions described above are met or waived. As of the date of any additional issuance of an outstanding tranche of

notes, the stated principal amount, outstanding dollar principal amount and nominal liquidation amount of that tranche will be increased to

reflect the principal amount of the additional notes. If the additional notes are a tranche of notes that has the benefit of a derivative agreement,

the issuer will enter into a derivative agreement for the benefit of the additional notes. The targeted deposits, if any, to the principal funding

subaccount will be increased proportionately to reflect the principal amount of the additional notes.

When issued, the additional notes of a tranche will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the indenture and the related

indenture supplement applicable to such notes as the other outstanding notes of that tranche without preference, priority or distinction.

Payments on Notes; Paying Agent

The notes offered by this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement will be delivered in book-entry form and payments

of principal of and interest on the notes will be made in U.S. dollars as described under “—Book-Entry Notes” unless the stated principal

amount of the notes is denominated in a foreign currency.

The issuer, the indenture trustee and any agent of the issuer or the indenture trustee will treat the registered holder of any note as the

absolute owner of that note, whether or not the note is overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, for the purpose of making

payment and for all other purposes.

The issuer will make payments on a note to the registered holder of the note at the close of business on the record date established for

the related payment date.

The issuer will designate the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York in New York City as its paying agent for the notes of each

series. The issuer will identify any other entities appointed to serve as paying agents on notes of a series, class or tranche in a supplement to this

prospectus. The issuer may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change

in the office through which any paying agent acts. However, the issuer will be required to maintain an office, agency or paying agent in each

place of payment for a series, class or tranche of notes.

After notice by publication, all funds paid to a paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any note of any series

which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the principal or interest becomes due and payable will be paid to the issuer. After funds

are paid to the issuer, the holder of that note may look only to the issuer for payment of that principal or interest.

Table of Contents

Denominations

The notes offered by this prospectus will be issued in denominations of $5,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount.

Record Date

The record date for payment of the notes will be the last day of the month before the related payment date.

Governing Law

The laws of the State of Delaware will govern the notes and the indenture.

Form, Exchange and Registration and Transfer of Notes

The notes offered by this prospectus will be issued in registered form. The notes will be represented by one or more global notes

registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as depository, or its nominee. We refer to each beneficial interest in a global note as

a “book-entry note.” For a description of the special provisions that apply to book-entry notes, see “—Book-Entry Notes.”

A holder of notes may exchange those notes for other notes of the same class or tranche of any authorized denominations and of the

same aggregate stated principal amount, expected principal payment date and legal maturity date, and of like terms.

Any holder of a note may present that note for registration of transfer, with the form of transfer properly executed, at the office of the

note registrar or at the office of any transfer agent that the issuer designates. Unless otherwise provided in the note to be transferred or

exchanged, holders of notes will not be charged any service charge for the exchange or transfer of their notes. Holders of notes that are to be

transferred or exchanged will be liable for the payment of any taxes and other governmental charges described in the indenture before the

transfer or exchange will be completed. The note registrar or transfer agent, as the case may be, will effect a transfer or exchange when it is

satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request.

The issuer will appoint The Bank of New York as the registrar for the notes. The issuer also may at any time designate additional

transfer agents for any series, class or tranche of notes. The issuer may at any time rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a

change in the location through which any transfer agent acts. However, the issuer will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of

payment for a series, class or tranche of notes.

Book-Entry Notes

The notes offered by this prospectus will be delivered in book-entry form. This means that, except under the limited circumstances

described below under “—Definitive Notes,” purchasers of notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names and will not be

entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive paper form. Instead, upon issuance, all the notes of a class will be represented by

one or more fully registered permanent global notes, without interest coupons.

Table of Contents

Each global note will be deposited with a securities depository named The Depository Trust Company and will be registered in the

name of its nominee, Cede & Co. No global note representing book-entry notes may be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of

DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to another nominee of DTC. Thus, DTC or its nominee will be the only registered holder of the notes and will

be considered the sole representative of the beneficial owners of notes for purposes of the indenture.

The registration of the global notes in the name of Cede & Co. will not affect beneficial ownership and is performed merely to facilitate

subsequent transfers. The book-entry system, which is also the system through which most publicly traded common stock is held, is used

because it eliminates the need for physical movement of securities. The laws of some jurisdictions, however, may require some purchasers to

take physical delivery of their notes in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to own or transfer book-entry notes.

Purchasers of notes in the United States may hold interests in the global notes through DTC, either directly, if they are participants in

that system—such as a bank, brokerage house or other institution that maintains securities accounts for customers with DTC or its nominee—or

otherwise indirectly through a participant in DTC. Purchasers of notes in Europe may hold interests in the global notes through Clearstream,

Luxembourg, or through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear system.

Because DTC will be the only registered owner of the global notes, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold positions through

their respective U.S. depositories, which in turn will hold positions on the books of DTC.

As long as the notes are in book-entry form, they will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of DTC, its participants and any

indirect participants. DTC will maintain records showing:

• the ownership interests of its participants, including the U.S. depositories; and

• all transfers of ownership interests between its participants.

The participants and indirect participants, in turn, will maintain records showing:

• the ownership interests of their customers, including indirect participants, that hold the notes through those participants; and

• all transfers between these persons.

Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry note will hold its note indirectly through a hierarchy of intermediaries, with DTC at the

“top” and the beneficial owner’s own securities intermediary at the “bottom.”

The issuer, the indenture trustee and their agents will not be liable for the accuracy of, and are not responsible for maintaining,

supervising or reviewing DTC’s records or any participant’s records relating to book-entry notes. The issuer, the indenture trustee and their

agents also will not be responsible or liable for payments made on account of the book-entry notes.

Table of Contents

Until Definitive Notes are issued to the beneficial owners as described below under “—Definitive Notes,” all references to “holders” of

notes means DTC. The issuer, the indenture trustee and any paying agent, transfer agent or securities registrar may treat DTC as the absolute

owner of the notes for all purposes.

Beneficial owners of book-entry notes should realize that the issuer will make all distributions of principal and interest on their notes to

DTC and will send all required reports and notices solely to DTC as long as DTC is the registered holder of the notes. DTC and the participants

are generally required by law to receive and transmit all distributions, notices and directions from the indenture trustee to the beneficial owners

through the chain of intermediaries.

Similarly, the indenture trustee will accept notices and directions solely from DTC. Therefore, in order to exercise any rights of a holder

of notes under the indenture, each person owning a beneficial interest in the notes must rely on the procedures of DTC and, in some cases,

Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear. If the beneficial owner is not a participant in that system, then it must rely on the procedures of the

participant through which that person owns its interest. DTC has advised the issuer that it will take actions under the indenture only at the

direction of its participants, which in turn will act only at the direction of the beneficial owners. Some of these actions, however, may conflict

with actions it takes at the direction of other participants and beneficial owners.

Notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to indirect participants, and by participants and indirect

participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them.

Beneficial owners of book-entry notes should also realize that book-entry notes may be more difficult to pledge because of the lack of a

physical note. Beneficial owners may also experience delays in receiving distributions on their notes since distributions will initially be made

to DTC and must be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner’s account.

The Depository Trust Company

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law and is a “banking institution” within the meaning

of the New York Banking Law. DTC is also a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New

York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC was

created to hold securities deposited by its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its

participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thus eliminating the need for physical movement of

securities. DTC is owned by a number of its participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and

the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and

Exchange Commission.

This information about DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear has been provided by each of them for informational purposes

only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or contract modification of any kind.

Distributions on Book-Entry Notes

The issuer will make distributions of principal of and interest on book-entry notes to DTC. These payments will be made in immediately

available funds by the issuer’s paying agent, The Bank of New York, at the office of the paying agent in New York City that the issuer

designates for that purpose.

In the case of principal payments, the global notes must be presented to the paying agent in time for the paying agent to make those

payments in immediately available funds in accordance with its normal payment procedures.

Upon receipt of any payment of principal of or interest on a global note, DTC will immediately credit the accounts of its participants on

its book-entry registration and transfer system. DTC will credit those accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the participants’

respective beneficial interests in the stated principal amount of the global note as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to

beneficial owners of book-entry notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities

held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

Distributions on book-entry notes held beneficially through Clearstream, Luxembourg will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream,

Luxembourg participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by its U.S. depository.

Distributions on book-entry notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in

accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by its U.S. depository.

In the event Definitive Notes are issued, distributions of principal and interest on Definitive Notes will be made directly to the holders

of the Definitive Notes in whose names the Definitive Notes were registered at the close of business on the related record date.

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will

occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC’s rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds

Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream, Luxembourg participants and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the

ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and will be settled

using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Table of Contents

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through

Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of the

relevant European international clearing system by the U.S. depositories. However, cross-market transactions of this type will require delivery

of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in that system in accordance with its rules and

procedures and within its established deadlines, European time. The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction

meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering

or receiving notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to

DTC. Clearstream, Luxembourg participants and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to DTC.

Because of time-zone differences, credits to notes received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a

DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and will be credited the business day following a DTC

settlement date. The credits to or any transactions in the notes settled during processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or

Clearstream, Luxembourg participants on that business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of

notes by or through a Clearstream, Luxembourg participant or a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the

DTC settlement date, but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day

following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to these procedures in order to facilitate transfers of notes among

participants of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures

and these procedures may be discontinued at any time.

Definitive Notes

Beneficial owners of book-entry notes may exchange those notes for Definitive Notes registered in their name only if:

• DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the global notes or ceases to be a registered “clearing agency” and the issuer

is unable to find a qualified replacement for DTC;

• the issuer, in its sole discretion, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC; or

• any event of default has occurred with respect to those book-entry notes and beneficial owners evidencing not less than 50% of the

unpaid outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes of that class advise the indenture trustee and DTC that the continuation of a

book-entry system is no longer in the best interests of those beneficial owners.

Table of Contents

If any of these three events occurs, DTC is required to notify the beneficial owners through the chain of intermediaries that the

Definitive Notes are available. The appropriate global note will then be exchangeable in whole for Definitive Notes in registered form of like

tenor and of an equal aggregate stated principal amount, in specified denominations. Definitive Notes will be registered in the name or names

of the person or persons specified by DTC in a written instruction to the registrar of the notes. DTC may base its written instruction upon

directions it receives from its participants. Thereafter, the holders of the Definitive Notes will be recognized as the “holders” of the notes under

the indenture.

Replacement of Notes

The issuer will replace at the expense of the holder any mutilated note upon surrender of that note to the indenture trustee. The issuer

will replace at the expense of the holder any notes that are destroyed, lost or stolen upon delivery to the indenture trustee of evidence of the

destruction, loss or theft of those notes satisfactory to the issuer and the indenture trustee. In the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen note, the

issuer and the indenture trustee may require the holder of the note to provide an indemnity satisfactory to the indenture trustee and the issuer

before a replacement note will be issued, and the issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental

charge, and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the indenture trustee) in connection with the issuance of a replacement

note.

Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes

The Collateral Certificate

The primary source of funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the notes will be the collateral certificate issued by master

trust II to the issuer. The following discussion and certain discussions in the related prospectus supplement summarize the material terms of the

collateral certificate. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the

master trust II agreement and the collateral certificate. For a description of master trust II and its assets, see “Master Trust II.” The collateral

certificate is the only master trust II investor certificate issued pursuant to Series 2001-D.

The collateral certificate represents an undivided interest in the assets of master trust II. The assets of master trust II consist primarily of

credit card receivables arising in selected MasterCard, Visa and American Express revolving credit card accounts that have been transferred by

MBNA. The amount of credit card receivables in master trust II will fluctuate from day to day as new receivables are generated or added to or

removed from master trust II and as other receivables are collected, charged off as uncollectible, or otherwise adjusted.

The collateral certificate has no specified interest rate. The issuer, as holder of the collateral certificate, is entitled to receive its allocable

share of defaults and of collections of finance charge receivables and principal receivables payable by master trust II.

Table of Contents

Finance charge receivables are all periodic finance charges, annual membership fees, cash advance fees and late charges on amounts

charged for merchandise and services and some other fees designated by MBNA, and recoveries on receivables in Defaulted Accounts.

Principal receivables are all amounts charged by cardholders for merchandise and services, amounts advanced to cardholders as cash advances

and all other fees billed to cardholders on the credit card accounts. Interchange, which represents fees received by MBNA from MasterCard,

Visa and American Express as partial compensation for taking credit risk, absorbing fraud losses and funding receivables for a limited period

before initial billing, will be treated as collections of finance charge receivables. Interchange varies from approximately 1% to 2% of the

transaction amount, but these amounts may be changed by MasterCard, Visa or American Express.

Each month, master trust II will allocate collections of finance charge receivables and principal receivables and defaults to the investor

certificates outstanding under master trust II, including the collateral certificate.

Allocations of defaults and collections of finance charge receivables are made pro rata among each series of investor certificates issued

by master trust II, including the collateral certificate, based on its respective Investor Interest, and the seller, based on the Seller Interest. In

general, the Investor Interest of each series of investor certificates (including the collateral certificate) issued by master trust II will equal the

stated dollar amount of the investor certificates (including the collateral certificate) issued to investors in that series, less unreimbursed charge-

offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II allocated to those investors, reallocations of collections of principal

receivables to cover certain shortfalls in collections of finance charge receivables and principal payments deposited to a master trust II principal

funding account or made to those investors.

The collateral certificate has a fluctuating Investor Interest, representing the investment of that certificate in principal receivables. The

Investor Interest of the collateral certificate will equal the total nominal liquidation amount of the outstanding notes secured by the collateral

certificate. For a discussion of Investor Interest, see the definition of Investor Interest in the glossary. The Seller Interest, which is owned by

MBNA, represents the interest in the principal receivables in master trust II not represented by any master trust II series of investor certificates.

For example, if the total principal receivables in master trust II at the end of the month is 500, the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate

is 100, the Investor Interests of the other investor certificates are 200 and the Seller Interest is 200, the collateral certificate is entitled, in

general, to 1/5—or 100/500—of the defaults and collections of finance charge receivables for the applicable month.

Collections of principal receivables are allocated similarly to the allocation of collections of finance charge receivables when no

principal amounts are needed for deposit into a principal funding account or needed to pay principal to investors. However, collections of

principal receivables are allocated differently when principal amounts need to be deposited into master trust II principal funding accounts or

paid to master trust II investors. When the principal amount of a master trust II investor certificate other than the collateral certificate begins to

accumulate or amortize, collections of principal receivables continue to be allocated

Table of Contents

to the series as if the Investor Interest of that series had not been reduced by principal collections deposited to a master trust II principal funding

account or paid to master trust II investors. During this time, allocations of collections of principal receivables to the investors in a series of

certificates issued by master trust II, other than the collateral certificate, is based on the Investor Interest of the series “fixed” at the time

immediately before the first deposit of principal collections into a principal funding account or the time immediately before the first payment

of principal collections to investors.

The collateral certificate is allocated collections of principal receivables at all times based on an Investor Interest calculation which is an

aggregate of the nominal liquidation amounts for each individual class or tranche of notes. For classes and tranches of notes which do not

require principal amounts to be deposited into a principal funding account or paid to noteholders, the nominal liquidation amount calculation

will be “floating,” i.e. calculated as of the end of the prior month. For classes or tranches of notes which require principal amounts to be

deposited into a principal funding account or paid to noteholders, the nominal liquidation amount will be “fixed” immediately before the issuer

begins to allocate Available Principal Amounts to the principal funding subaccount for that class or tranche, i.e. calculated as of the end of the

month prior to any reductions for deposits or payments of principal.

For a detailed description of the percentage used in allocating finance charge collections and defaults to the collateral certificate, see the

definition of “Floating Investor Percentage” in the glossary. For a detailed description of the percentage used in allocating principal collections

to the collateral certificate, see the definition of “Principal Investor Percentage” in the glossary.

If collections of principal receivables allocated to the collateral certificate are needed for reallocation to cover certain shortfalls in

Available Funds, to pay the notes or to make a deposit into the issuer accounts within a month, they will be deposited into the issuer’s

collection account. Otherwise, collections of principal receivables allocated to the collateral certificate will be reallocated to other series of

master trust II investor certificates which have principal collection shortfalls—which does not reduce the Investor Interest of the collateral

certificate—or reinvested in master trust II to maintain the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate. If the collateral certificate has a

shortfall in collections of principal receivables, but other series of investor certificates issued by master trust II have excess collections of

principal receivables, a portion of the excess collections of principal receivables allocated to other series of investor certificates issued by

master trust II will be reallocated to the collateral certificate and any other master trust II investor certificate which may have a shortfall in

collections of principal receivables and the collateral certificate’s share of the excess collections of principal receivables from the other series

will be paid to the issuer and treated as Available Principal Amounts.

The collateral certificate will also be allocated a portion of the net investment earnings, if any, on amounts in the master trust II finance

charge account and the master trust II principal account, as more specifically described below in “—Deposit and Application of Funds.” Such

net investment earnings will be treated as Available Funds.

Table of Contents

Upon a sale of credit card receivables, or interests therein, following an insolvency of MBNA, following an event of default and

acceleration, or on the applicable legal maturity date for a series, class or tranche of notes, as described in the accompanying prospectus

supplement, the portion of the nominal liquidation amount, and thereby the portion of the Investor Interest, related to that series, class or

tranche will be reduced to zero and that series, class or tranche will no longer receive any allocations of collections of finance charge

receivables or principal receivables from master trust II and any allocations of Available Funds or Available Principal Amounts from the

issuer.

Following a Pay Out Event with respect to the collateral certificate, which is an early redemption event for the notes, all collections of

principal receivables for any month allocated to the Investor Interest of the collateral certificate will be used to cover principal payments to the

issuer as holder of the collateral certificate.

For a detailed description of the application of collections and allocation of defaults by master trust II, see “Master Trust II—

Application of Collections” and “—Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges” in this prospectus.

Deposit and Application of Funds

Collections of finance charge receivables allocated and paid to the issuer, as holder of the collateral certificate, as described in “—The

Collateral Certificate” above and “Master Trust II—Application of Collections” in this prospectus, will be treated as Available Funds. Such

Available Funds will be allocated pro rata to each series of notes in an amount equal to the sum of:

• the sum of the Daily Available Funds Amounts for each day during such month for such series of notes,

• such series’s pro rata portion of the net investment earnings, if any, in the master trust II finance charge account that are allocated to

the collateral certificate with respect to the related Transfer Date, based on the ratio of the aggregate amount on deposit in the master

trust II finance charge account with respect to such series of notes to the aggregate amount on deposit in the master trust II finance

charge account with respect to all series of notes, and

• such series’s pro rata portion of the net investment earnings, if any, in the master trust II principal account that are allocated to the

collateral certificate with respect to the related Transfer Date, based on the ratio of the aggregate amount on deposit in the master trust

II principal account with respect to such series of notes to the aggregate amount on deposit in the master trust II principal account with

respect to all series of notes.

Collections of principal receivables allocated and paid to the issuer, as holder of the collateral certificate, as described in “—The

Collateral Certificate” above and “Master Trust II—Application of Collections” in this prospectus, will be treated as Available Principal

Amounts. Such Available Principal Amounts, after any reallocations of Available Principal

Table of Contents

Amounts, will be allocated to each series of notes with a monthly principal payment for such month in an amount equal to:

• such series’s monthly principal payment; or

• in the event that Available Principal Amounts for any month are less than the aggregate monthly principal payments for all series of

notes, Available Principal Amounts will be allocated to each series of notes with a monthly principal payment for such month to the

extent needed by each such series to cover its monthly principal payment in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of the Daily

Principal Amounts for each day during such month for such series of notes and (b) the monthly principal payment for such series of

notes for such month.

If Available Principal Amounts for any month are less than the aggregate monthly principal payments for all series of notes, and any

series of notes has excess Available Principal Amounts remaining after its application of its allocation described above, then any such excess

will be applied to each series of notes to the extent such series still needs to cover a monthly principal payment pro rata based on the ratio of

the Weighted Average Principal Allocation Amount for the related series of notes for such month to the Weighted Average Principal

Allocation Amount for all series of notes with an unpaid monthly principal payment for such month.

In the case of a series of notes having more than one class or tranche, Available Principal Amounts and Available Funds allocated to

that series will be further allocated and applied to each class or tranche in the manner and order of priority described in the accompanying

prospectus supplement.

Issuer Accounts

The issuer has established a collection account for the purpose of receiving payments of finance charge collections and principal

collections and other amounts from master trust II payable under the collateral certificate.

If so specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the issuer may direct the indenture trustee to establish and maintain in the

name of the indenture trustee supplemental accounts for any series, class or tranche of notes for the benefit of the related noteholders.

Each month, distributions on the collateral certificate will be deposited into one or more supplemental accounts, to make payments of

interest on and principal of the notes, to make payments under any applicable derivative agreements, and for the other purposes as specified in

the accompanying prospectus supplement.

The supplemental accounts described in this section are referred to as issuer accounts. Amounts maintained in issuer accounts may only

be invested in Permitted Investments.

Table of Contents

Derivative Agreements

Some notes may have the benefit of one or more derivative agreements, which may be a currency, interest rate or other swap, a cap, a

collar, a guaranteed investment contract or other similar arrangements with various counterparties. In general, the issuer will receive payments

from counterparties to the derivative agreements in exchange for the issuer’s payments to them, to the extent required under the derivative

agreements. Payments received from derivative counterparties with respect to interest payments on dollar notes in a series, class or tranche will

generally be treated as Available Funds for such series, class or tranche. The specific terms of a derivative agreement applicable to a series,

class or tranche of notes and a description of the related counterparty will be included in the related prospectus supplement.

Sale of Credit Card Receivables

In addition to a sale of receivables following an insolvency of MBNA, if a series, class or tranche of notes has an event of default and is

accelerated before its legal maturity date, master trust II will sell credit card receivables, or interests therein, if the conditions described in “The

Indenture—Events of Default” and “—Events of Default Remedies” are satisfied, and with respect to subordinated notes of a multiple tranche

series, only to the extent that payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same series. This sale will take

place at the direction of the indenture trustee or at the direction of the holders of a majority of aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of

notes of that series, class or tranche.

Any sale of receivables for a subordinated tranche of notes in a multiple tranche series may be delayed until the senior classes of notes

of the same series are prefunded, enough notes of senior classes are repaid, or new subordinated notes have been issued, in each case, to the

extent that the subordinated tranche is no longer needed to provide the required subordination for the senior notes of that series. In a multiple

tranche series, if a senior tranche of notes directs a sale of credit card receivables, then after the sale that tranche will no longer be entitled to

subordination from subordinated classes of notes of the same series.

If principal of or interest on a tranche of notes has not been paid in full on its legal maturity date, the sale will automatically take place

on that date regardless of the subordination requirements of any senior classes of notes. Proceeds from such sale will be immediately paid to

the noteholders of the related tranche.

The amount of credit card receivables sold will be up to the nominal liquidation amount of, plus any accrued, past due and additional

interest on, the related notes. The nominal liquidation amount of such notes will be automatically reduced to zero upon such sale. No more

Available Principal Amounts or Available Funds will be allocated to those notes. Noteholders will receive the proceeds of such sale in an

amount not to exceed the outstanding principal amount of, plus any past due, accrued and additional interest on, such notes. Such notes are no

longer outstanding under the indenture once the sale occurs.

After giving effect to a sale of receivables for a series, class or tranche of notes, the amount of proceeds on deposit in a principal

funding account or subaccount may be less than the

Table of Contents

outstanding dollar principal amount of that series, class or tranche. This deficiency can arise because the nominal liquidation amount of that

series, class or tranche was reduced before the sale of receivables or because the sale price for the receivables was less than the outstanding

dollar principal amount and accrued, past due and additional interest. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, these types of

deficiencies will not be reimbursed.

Limited Recourse to the Issuer; Security for the Notes

Only the portion of Available Funds and Available Principal Amounts allocable to a series, class or tranche of notes after giving effect

to all allocations and reallocations thereof, funds on deposit in the applicable issuer accounts, any applicable derivative agreement and

proceeds of sales of credit card receivables provide the source of payment for principal of or interest on any series, class or tranche of notes.

Noteholders will have no recourse to any other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity for the payment of principal of or interest on

the notes.

The notes of all series are secured by a shared security interest in the collateral certificate and the collection account, but each series,

class or tranche of notes is entitled to the benefits of only that portion of those assets allocated to it under the indenture and the related

indenture supplement. Each series, class or tranche of notes is also secured by a security interest in any applicable supplemental account and

any applicable derivative agreement.

The Indenture

The notes will be issued pursuant to the terms of the indenture and a related indenture supplement. The following discussion and the

discussions under “The Notes” in this prospectus and certain sections in the prospectus summary summarize the material terms of the notes,

the indenture and the indenture supplements. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to

the provisions of the notes, the indenture and the indenture supplements.

Indenture Trustee

The Bank of New York is the trustee under the indenture for the notes. Its principal corporate trust office is located at 101 Barclay

Street, Floor 8 West, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration—Asset Backed Securities, New York, New York 10286.

Under the terms of the indenture, the issuer has agreed to pay to the indenture trustee reasonable compensation for performance of its

duties under the indenture. The indenture trustee has agreed to perform only those duties specifically set forth in the indenture. Many of the

duties of the indenture trustee are described throughout this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement. Under the terms of the

indenture, the indenture trustee’s limited responsibilities include the following:

• to deliver to noteholders of record certain notices, reports and other documents received by the indenture trustee, as required under the

indenture;

• to authenticate, deliver, cancel and otherwise administer the notes;

Table of Contents

• to maintain custody of the collateral certificate;

• to establish and maintain necessary issuer accounts and to maintain accurate records of activity in those accounts;

• to serve as the initial transfer agent, paying agent and registrar, and, if it resigns these duties, to appoint a successor transfer agent,

paying agent and registrar;

• to invest funds in the issuer accounts at the direction of the issuer;

• to represent the noteholders in interactions with clearing agencies and other similar organizations;

• to distribute and transfer funds at the direction of the issuer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the indenture;

• to periodically report on and notify noteholders of certain matters relating to actions taken by the indenture trustee, property and funds

that are possessed by the indenture trustee, and other similar matters; and

• to perform certain other administrative functions identified in the indenture.

In addition, the indenture trustee has the discretion to require the issuer to cure a potential event of default and to institute and maintain

suits to protect the interest of the noteholders in the collateral certificate. The indenture trustee is not liable for any errors of judgment as long

as the errors are made in good faith and the indenture trustee was not negligent. The indenture trustee is not responsible for any investment

losses to the extent that they result from permitted investments.

If an event of default occurs, in addition to the responsibilities described above, the indenture trustee will exercise its rights and powers

under the indenture to protect the interests of the noteholders using the same degree of care and skill as a prudent man would exercise in the

conduct of his own affairs. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the indenture trustee will be responsible for enforcing the

agreements and the rights of the noteholders. See “The Indenture—Events of Default Remedies.” The indenture trustee may, under certain

limited circumstances, have the right or the obligation to do the following:

• demand immediate payment by the issuer of all principal and accrued interest on the notes;

• enhance monitoring of the securitization;

• protect the interests of the noteholders in the collateral certificate or the receivables in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

• prepare and send timely notice to noteholders of the event of default;

• institute judicial proceedings for the collection of amounts due and unpaid;

• rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration of the notes by the noteholders following an event of default; and

Table of Contents

• cause master trust II to sell credit card receivables (see “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables”).

Following an event of default, the majority holders of any series, class or tranche of notes will have the right to direct the indenture

trustee to exercise certain remedies available to the indenture trustee under the indenture. In such case, the indenture trustee may decline to

follow the direction of the majority holders only if it determines that: (1) the action so directed is unlawful or conflicts with the indenture, (2)

the action so directed would involve it in personal liability, or (3) the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the noteholders not

taking part in such direction.

The indenture trustee may resign at any time. The issuer may also remove the indenture trustee if the indenture trustee is no longer

eligible to act as trustee under the indenture or if the indenture trustee becomes insolvent. In all circumstances, the issuer must appoint a

successor indenture trustee for the notes. Any resignation or removal of the indenture trustee and appointment of a successor indenture trustee

will not become effective until the successor indenture trustee accepts the appointment.

The issuer or its affiliates may maintain accounts and other banking or trustee relationships with the indenture trustee and its affiliates.

Issuer Covenants

The issuer will not, among other things:

• claim any credit on or make any deduction from the principal and interest payable on the notes, other than amounts withheld in good

faith from such payments under the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law,

• voluntarily dissolve or liquidate, or

• permit (A) the validity or effectiveness of the indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien created by the indenture to be amended,

hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any person to be released from any covenants or obligations with

respect to the notes under the indenture except as may be expressly permitted by the indenture, (B) any lien, charge, excise, claim,

security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien created by the indenture) to be created on or extend to or

otherwise arise upon or burden the collateral securing the notes or proceeds thereof or (C) the lien of the indenture not to constitute a

valid first priority security interest in the collateral securing the notes.

The issuer may not engage in any activity other than the activities described in “The Issuer” in this prospectus. The issuer will not incur,

assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable, directly or indirectly, for any indebtedness except for the notes.

The issuer will also covenant that if:

• the issuer defaults in the payment of interest on any series, class or tranche of notes when such interest becomes due and payable and

such default continues for a period of 35 days following the date on which such interest became due and payable, or

Table of Contents

• the issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any series, class or tranche of notes on its legal maturity date,

and any such default continues beyond any specified period of grace provided with respect to such series, class or tranche of notes, the issuer

will, upon demand of the indenture trustee, pay to the indenture trustee, for the benefit of the holders of any such notes of the affected series,

class or tranche, the whole amount then due and payable on any such notes for principal and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment

of such interest will be legally enforceable, upon the overdue principal and upon overdue installments of interest. In addition, the issuer will

pay an amount sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and

advances of the indenture trustee, its agents and counsel and all other compensation due to the indenture trustee. If the issuer fails to pay such

amounts upon such demand, the indenture trustee may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the unpaid amounts described above.

Early Redemption Events

The issuer will be required to redeem in whole or in part, to the extent that funds are available for that purpose and, with respect to

subordinated notes of a multiple tranche series, to the extent payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the

same series, each affected series, class or tranche of notes upon the occurrence of an early redemption event. Early redemption events include

the following:

• with respect to any tranche of notes, the occurrence of such note’s expected principal payment date;

• each of the Pay Out Events applicable to the collateral certificate, as described under “Master Trust II—Pay Out Events”;

• the issuer becoming an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

• with respect to any series, class or tranche of notes, any additional early redemption event specified in the accompanying prospectus

supplement.

The redemption price of a note so redeemed will be the outstanding principal amount of that note, plus accrued, past due and additional

interest to but excluding the date of redemption, which will be the next payment date. If the amount of Available Funds and Available

Principal Amounts allocable to the series, class or tranche of notes to be redeemed, together with funds on deposit in the applicable principal

funding subaccount, interest funding subaccount and Class C reserve subaccount and any amounts payable to the issuer under any applicable

derivative agreement are insufficient to pay the redemption price in full on the next payment date after giving effect to the subordination

provisions and allocations to any other notes ranking equally with that note, monthly payments on the notes to be redeemed will thereafter be

made on each principal payment date until the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus all accrued, past due and additional interest are

paid in full, or the legal maturity date of the notes occurs, whichever is earlier. However, if so specified in the accompanying

Table of Contents

prospectus supplement, subject to certain exceptions, any notes that have the benefit of a derivative agreement will not be redeemed prior to

such notes’ expected principal payment date.

No Available Principal Amounts will be allocated to a series, class or tranche of notes with a nominal liquidation amount of zero, even

if the stated principal amount of that series, class or tranche has not been paid in full. However, any funds previously deposited in the

applicable principal funding subaccount, interest funding subaccount and Class C reserve subaccount and any amounts received from an

applicable derivative agreement will still be available to pay principal of and interest on that series, class or tranche of notes. In addition, if

Available Funds are available, they can be applied to reimburse reductions in the nominal liquidation amount of that series, class or tranche

resulting from reallocations of Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on senior classes of notes or the master trust II servicing fee, or

from charge-offs for uncovered defaults on principal receivables in master trust II.

Payments on redeemed notes will be made in the same priority as described in the related prospectus supplement. The issuer will give

notice to holders of the affected notes before an early redemption date.

Events of Default

Each of the following events is an event of default for any affected series, class or tranche of notes:

• with respect to any tranche of notes, the issuer’s failure, for a period of 35 days, to pay interest on such notes when such interest

becomes due and payable;

• with respect to any tranche of notes, the issuer’s failure to pay the principal amount of such notes on the applicable legal maturity date;

• the issuer’s default in the performance, or breach, of any other of its covenants or warranties in the indenture, for a period of 60 days

after either the indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the outstanding

notes of the affected series, class or tranche has provided written notice requiring remedy of such breach, and, as a result of such

default, the interests of the related noteholders are materially and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely

affected during the 60 day period;

• the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or receivership of the issuer; and

• with respect to any series, class or tranche, any additional events of default specified in the prospectus supplement relating to the series,

class or tranche.

Failure to pay the full stated principal amount of a note on its expected principal payment date will not constitute an event of default. An

event of default with respect to one series, class or tranche of notes will not necessarily be an event of default with respect to any other series,

class or tranche of notes.

Table of Contents

Events of Default Remedies

The occurrence of some events of default involving the bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer results in an automatic acceleration of all

of the notes. If other events of default occur and are continuing with respect to any series, class or tranche, either the indenture trustee or the

holders of more than a majority in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes of that series, class or tranche may declare by

written notice to the issuer the principal of all those outstanding notes to be immediately due and payable. This declaration of acceleration may

generally be rescinded by the holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of outstanding notes of that series, class or

tranche.

If a series, class or tranche of notes is accelerated before its legal maturity date, the indenture trustee may at any time thereafter, and at

the direction of the holders of a majority of aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of notes of that series, class or tranche at any time

thereafter will, direct master trust II to sell credit card receivables, in an amount up to the nominal liquidation amount of the affected series,

class or tranche of notes plus any accrued, past due and additional interest on the affected series, class or tranche, as described in “Sources of

Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables,” but only if at least one of the following conditions is met:

• the noteholders of 90% of the aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the accelerated series, class or tranche of notes consent;

• the net proceeds of such sale (plus amounts on deposit in the applicable subaccounts and payments to be received from any applicable

derivative agreement) would be sufficient to pay all outstanding amounts due on the accelerated series, class or tranche of notes; or

• if the indenture trustee determines that the funds to be allocated to the accelerated series, class or tranche of notes may not be sufficient

on an ongoing basis to make all payments on such notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been

declared due and payable, and the holders of not less than 66

/3% of the aggregate outstanding principal dollar amount of notes of the

accelerated series, class or tranche, as applicable, consent to the sale.

In addition, a sale of receivables following an event of default and acceleration of a subordinated tranche of notes of a multiple tranche

series may be delayed as described under “Source of Funds to Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables” if the payment is not permitted

by the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same series.

If an event of default occurs relating to the failure to pay principal of or interest on a series, class or tranche of notes in full on the legal

maturity date, the issuer will automatically direct master trust II to sell credit card receivables on the date, as described in “Sources of Funds to

Pay the Notes—Sale of Credit Card Receivables.”

Table of Contents

Any money or other property collected by the indenture trustee with respect to a series, class or tranche of notes in connection with a

sale of credit card receivables following an event of default will be applied in the following priority, at the dates fixed by the indenture trustee:

• first, to pay all compensation owed to the indenture trustee for services rendered in connection with the indenture, reimbursements to

the indenture trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made in accordance with the indenture, or

indemnification of the indenture trustee for any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith on its

part, arising out of or in connection with its administration of the issuer;

• second, to pay the amounts of interest and principal then due and unpaid on the notes of that series, class or tranche; and

• third, any remaining amounts will be paid to the issuer.

If a sale of credit card receivables does not take place following an acceleration of a series, class or tranche of notes, then:

• The issuer will continue to hold the collateral certificate, and distributions on the collateral certificate will continue to be applied in

accordance with the distribution provisions of the indenture and the indenture supplement.

• Principal will be paid on the accelerated series, class or tranche of notes to the extent funds are received from master trust II and

available to the accelerated series, class or tranche after giving effect to all allocations and reallocations and payment is permitted by

the subordination provisions of the senior notes of the same series.

• If the accelerated notes are a subordinated tranche of notes of a multiple tranche series, and the subordination provisions prevent the

payment of the accelerated subordinated tranche, prefunding of the senior classes of that series will begin, as provided in the

applicable indenture supplement. Thereafter, payment will be made to the extent provided in the applicable indenture supplement.

• On the legal maturity date of the accelerated notes, if the notes have not been paid in full, the indenture trustee will direct master trust

II to sell credit card receivables as provided in the applicable indenture supplement.

The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of any accelerated series, class or tranche of notes have the

right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the indenture trustee, or exercising any

trust or power conferred on the indenture trustee. However, this right may be exercised only if the direction provided by the noteholders does

not conflict with applicable law or the indenture or the related indenture supplement or have a substantial likelihood of involving the indenture

trustee in personal liability. The holder of any note will have the right to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of and

interest on such note on the legal maturity date expressed in such note.

Table of Contents

Generally, if an event of default occurs and any notes are accelerated, the indenture trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights

or powers under the indenture unless the holders of affected notes offer the indenture trustee reasonable indemnity. Upon acceleration of the

maturity of a series, class or tranche of notes following an event of default, the indenture trustee will have a lien on the collateral for those

notes ranking senior to the lien of those notes for its unpaid fees and expenses.

The indenture trustee has agreed, and the noteholders will agree, that they will not at any time institute against the issuer, MBNA or

master trust II any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Meetings

The indenture trustee may call a meeting of the holders of notes of a series, class or tranche at any time. The indenture trustee will call a

meeting upon request of the issuer or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the outstanding notes of

the series, class or tranche. In any case, a meeting will be called after notice is given to holders of notes in accordance with the indenture.

The quorum for a meeting is a majority of the holders of the outstanding dollar principal amount of the related series, class or tranche of

notes, as the case may be, unless a higher percentage is specified for approving action taken at the meeting, in which case the quorum is the

higher percentage.

Voting

Any action or vote to be taken by the holders of a majority, or other specified percentage, of any series, class or tranche of notes may be

adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority, or the applicable other specified percentage, of the aggregate outstanding dollar

principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series, class or tranche, as the case may be.

Any action or vote taken at any meeting of holders of notes duly held in accordance with the indenture will be binding on all holders of

the affected notes or the affected series, class or tranche of notes, as the case may be.

Notes held by the issuer, MBNA or their affiliates will not be deemed outstanding for purposes of voting or calculating a quorum at any

meeting of noteholders.

Amendments to the Indenture and Indenture Supplements

The issuer and the indenture trustee may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the indenture or any indenture supplement without the

consent of any noteholders to provide for the issuance of any series, class or tranche of notes (as described under “The Notes—Issuances of

New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes”) and to set forth the terms thereof.

In addition, upon delivery of a master trust II tax opinion and issuer tax opinion, as described under “—Tax Opinions for Amendments”

below, and upon delivery by the issuer to

Table of Contents

the indenture trustee of an officer’s certificate to the effect that the issuer reasonably believes that such amendment will not and is not

reasonably expected to (i) result in the occurrence of an early redemption event or event of default, (ii) adversely affect the amount of funds

available to be distributed to the noteholders of any series, class or tranche of notes or the timing of such distributions, or (iii) adversely affect

the security interest of the indenture trustee in the collateral securing the notes, the indenture or any indenture supplement may be amended,

supplemented or otherwise modified without the consent of any noteholders to:

• evidence the succession of another entity to the issuer, and the assumption by such successor of the covenants of the issuer in the

indenture and the notes;

• add to the covenants of the issuer, or have the issuer surrender any of its rights or powers under the indenture, for the benefit of the

noteholders of any or all series, classes or tranches;

• cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in the indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision in the

indenture, or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture;

• add to the indenture certain provisions expressly permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;

• establish any form of note, or to add to the rights of the holders of the notes of any series, class or tranche;

• provide for the acceptance of a successor indenture trustee under the indenture with respect to one or more series, classes or tranches of

notes and add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture as will be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of

the trusts under the indenture by more than one indenture trustee;

• add any additional early redemption events or events of default with respect to the notes of any or all series, classes or tranches;

• provide for the consolidation of master trust II and the issuer or the transfer of assets in master trust II to the issuer after the

termination of all series of master trust II investor certificates (other than the collateral certificate);

• if one or more sellers are added to, or replaced under, the master trust II agreement, or one or more beneficiaries are added to, or

replaced under, the trust agreement, make any necessary changes to the indenture or any other related document;

• provide for the addition of collateral securing the notes and the issuance of notes backed by any such additional collateral;

• provide for additional or alternative credit enhancement for any tranche of notes; or

• qualify for sale treatment under generally accepted accounting principles.

The indenture or any indenture supplement may also be amended without the consent of the indenture trustee or any noteholders upon

delivery of a master trust II tax opinion and issuer tax opinion, as described under “—Tax Opinions for Amendments” below, for the purpose

of adding provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the

Table of Contents

provisions of, the indenture or any indenture supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the notes under the

indenture or any indenture supplement, provided, however, that the issuer shall (i) deliver to the indenture trustee and the owner trustee an

officer’s certificate to the effect that the issuer reasonably believes that such amendment will not and is not reasonably expected to (a) result in

the occurrence of an early redemption event or event of default, (b) adversely affect the amount of funds available to be distributed to the

noteholders or any series, class or tranche of notes or the timing of such distributions, or (c) adversely affect the security interest of the

indenture trustee in the collateral securing the notes and (ii) receive written confirmation from each rating agency that such amendment will not

result in the reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any outstanding notes which it has rated.

The issuer and the indenture trustee, upon delivery of a master trust II tax opinion and issuer tax opinion, as described under “—Tax

Opinions for Amendments,” may modify and amend the indenture or any indenture supplement, for reasons other than those stated in the prior

paragraphs, with prior notice to each rating agency and the consent of the holders of not less than 66

/3% of the outstanding dollar principal

amount of each class or tranche of notes affected by that modification or amendment. However, if the modification or amendment would result

in any of the following events occurring, it may be made only with the consent of the holders of 100% of each outstanding series, class or

tranche of notes affected by the modification or amendment:

• a change in any date scheduled for the payment of interest on any note, or the expected principal payment date or legal maturity date

of any note;

• a reduction of the stated principal amount of, or interest rate on, any note, or a change in the method of computing the outstanding

dollar principal amount, the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount, or the nominal liquidation amount in a manner that is

adverse to any noteholder;

• a reduction of the amount of a discount note payable upon the occurrence of an early redemption event or other optional or mandatory

redemption or upon the acceleration of its maturity;

• an impairment of the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any note;

• a reduction of the percentage in outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes of any outstanding series, class or tranche, the consent

of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of any indenture supplement or for waiver of compliance with provisions

of the indenture or for waiver of defaults and their consequences provided for in the indenture;

• a modification of any of the provisions governing the amendment of the indenture, any indenture supplement or the issuer’s

agreements not to claim rights under any law which would affect the covenants or the performance of the indenture or any indenture

supplement, except to increase any percentage of noteholders required to consent to any such amendment or to provide that certain

other provisions of the indenture cannot

Table of Contents

be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected by such modification;

• permission being given to create any lien or other encumbrance on the collateral securing any notes ranking senior to the lien of the

indenture;

• a change in the city or political subdivision so designated with respect to any series, class or tranche of notes where any principal of, or

interest on, any note is payable;

• a change in the method of computing the amount of principal of, or interest on, any note on any date; or

• any other amendment other than those explicitly permitted by the indenture without the consent of noteholders.

The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes of a series, class or tranche, may waive, on

behalf of the holders of all the notes of that series, class or tranche, compliance by the issuer with specified restrictive provisions of the

indenture or the related indenture supplement.

The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding dollar principal amount of the notes of an affected series, class or tranche may, on

behalf of all holders of notes of that series, class or tranche, waive any past default under the indenture or the indenture supplement with respect

to notes of that series, class or tranche. However, the consent of the holders of all outstanding notes of a series, class or tranche is required to

waive any past default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any note of that series, class or tranche or in respect of a covenant or

provision of the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each outstanding note of that series, class

or tranche.

Tax Opinions for Amendments

No amendment to the indenture, any indenture supplement or the trust agreement will be effective unless the issuer has delivered to the

indenture trustee, the owner trustee and the rating agencies an opinion of counsel that:

• for federal income tax purposes (1) the amendment will not adversely affect the tax characterization as debt of any outstanding series

or class of investor certificates issued by master trust II that were characterized as debt at the time of their issuance, (2) the amendment

will not cause or constitute an event in which gain or loss would be recognized by any holder of investor certificates issued by master

trust II, and (3) following the amendment, master trust II will not be an association, or publicly traded partnership, taxable as a

corporation; and

• for federal income tax purposes (1) the amendment will not adversely affect the tax characterization as debt of any outstanding series,

class or tranche of notes that were characterized as debt at the time of their issuance, (2) following the amendment, the issuer will not

be treated as an association, or publicly traded partnership, taxable as a corporation and (3) the amendment will not cause or constitute

an event in which gain or loss would be recognized by any holder of any such note.

Table of Contents

Addresses for Notices

Notices to holders of notes will be given by mail sent to the addresses of the holders as they appear in the note register.

Issuer’s Annual Compliance Statement

The issuer will be required to furnish annually to the indenture trustee a statement concerning its performance or fulfillment of

covenants, agreements or conditions in the indenture as well as the presence or absence of defaults under the indenture.

Indenture Trustee’s Annual Report

To the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, the indenture trustee will mail each year to all registered

noteholders a report concerning:

• its eligibility and qualifications to continue as trustee under the indenture,

• any amounts advanced by it under the indenture,

• the amount, interest rate and maturity date or indebtedness owing by the issuer to it in the indenture trustee’s individual capacity,

• the property and funds physically held by it as indenture trustee,

• any release or release and substitution of collateral subject to the lien of the indenture that has not previously been reported, and

• any action taken by it that materially affects the notes and that has not previously been reported.

List of Noteholders

Three or more holders of notes of any series, each of whom has owned a note for at least six months, may, upon written request to the

indenture trustee, obtain access to the current list of noteholders of the issuer for purposes of communicating with other noteholders concerning

their rights under the indenture or the notes. The indenture trustee may elect not to give the requesting noteholders access to the list if it agrees

to mail the desired communication or proxy to all applicable noteholders.

Reports

Monthly reports containing information on the notes and the collateral securing the notes will be filed with the Securities and Exchange

Commission. These reports will not be sent to noteholders. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus for information as

to how these reports may be accessed.

On or before January 31 of each calendar year, the paying agent, on behalf of the indenture trustee, will furnish to each person who at

any time during the prior calendar year was a noteholder of record a statement containing the information required to be provided by an issuer

of indebtedness under the Internal Revenue Code. See “Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this prospectus.

MBNA’s Credit Card Activities

General

The receivables conveyed or to be conveyed to master trust II by MBNA pursuant to the master trust II agreement have been or will be

generated from transactions made by holders of selected MasterCard, Visa and American Express credit card accounts from the portfolio of

MasterCard, Visa and American Express accounts owned by MBNA called the Bank Portfolio. MBNA currently services the Bank Portfolio in

the manner described below. Certain data processing and administrative functions associated with the servicing of the Bank Portfolio are

performed on behalf of MBNA by MBNA Technology, Inc. See “—MBNA Technology, Inc.” below. MBNA Technology, Inc. is a wholly-

owned subsidiary of MBNA.

Acquisition and Use of Credit Card Accounts

MBNA markets its credit card products primarily through endorsements from membership associations, financial institutions,

commercial firms and others. MBNA directs its marketing efforts primarily to members and customers of these endorsing organizations, and to

targeted lists of people with a strong common interest. MBNA is the recognized leader in endorsed marketing, with endorsements from

thousands of organizations and businesses, including professional associations, financial institutions, colleges and universities, sports teams and

major retailers.

MBNA primarily uses direct mail, person-to-person marketing (such as event marketing), telesales and Internet marketing to market its

credit card products. Each year, MBNA develops numerous marketing campaigns, customized for MBNA’s endorsing organizations,

generating direct mail pieces designed to add accounts and promote account usage. MBNA conducts Internet marketing through a combination

of banner, e-mail, search engine and other advertisements.

The credit risk of lending to each applicant is evaluated through the combination of human judgment and the application of various

credit scoring models and other statistical techniques. For credit card credit determinations, MBNA considers an applicant’s capacity and

willingness to repay, stability and other factors. Important information in performing this credit assessment includes an applicant’s income,

debt-to-income levels, residence and employment stability, the rate at which new credit is being acquired, and the manner in which the

applicant has handled the repayment of previously granted credit. An applicant who has favorable credit capacity and credit history

characteristics is more likely to be approved and to receive a relatively higher credit line assignment. Favorable characteristics include

appropriate debt-to-income levels, a long history of steady employment and little to no history of delinquent payments on other debt. MBNA

develops credit scoring models to evaluate common applicant characteristics and their correlation to credit risk and utilizes models in making

credit assessments. The scoring models use the information available about the applicant on his or her application and in his or her credit report

to provide a general indication of the applicant’s credit risk. Models for credit scoring are developed and modified

Table of Contents

using statistics to evaluate common applicant characteristics and their correlation to credit risk. Periodically, the scoring models are validated

and, if necessary, realigned to maintain their accuracy and reliability.

Generally, a credit analyst decides whether or not to approve an account, although a significant percentage of high risk applications are

declined through an automated decisioning process. A limited number of applications from cardholders who already have an account with

MBNA are approved through an automated system based on the cardholder’s favorable credit history with MBNA. In 2004, less than half of

the credit applications received by MBNA were approved. Most decisions to approve a credit application are made by credit analysts who

consider the credit factors described above and assign credit lines based upon this assessment. Credit analysts are encouraged to call applicants

when they believe additional information, such as an explanation of delinquencies or debt levels, may assist the analyst in making the

appropriate credit decision. Credit analysts undergo a comprehensive education program that focuses on evaluating an applicant’s

creditworthiness.

Credit lines for existing cardholders are regularly reviewed for credit line increases, and when appropriate, credit line decreases.

MBNA Corporation’s portfolio risk management division independently reviews selected applications and credit line increase requests to

ensure quality and consistency.

Once the credit analyst makes a decision, further levels of review are automatically triggered based on an analysis of the risk of each

decision. This analysis is derived from previous experiential data and makes use of credit scores and other statistical techniques. Credit analysts

also review applications obtained through pre-approved offers to ensure adherence to credit standards and assign an appropriate credit limit as

an additional approach to managing credit risk. Some credit applications that present low risk are approved through an automated decisioning

process.

MBNA and its affiliates have made portfolio acquisitions in the past and may make additional acquisitions in the future. Prior to

acquiring a portfolio, MBNA reviews the historical performance and seasoning of the portfolio (including the portfolio’s delinquency and loss

characteristics, average balances, attrition rates, yields and collection performance) and reviews the account management and underwriting

policies and procedures of the entity selling the portfolio. Credit card accounts that have been purchased by MBNA were originally opened

using criteria established by institutions other than MBNA and may not have been subject to the same credit review as accounts originated by

MBNA. Once these accounts have been purchased and transferred to MBNA for servicing, they are generally managed in accordance with the

same policies and procedures as accounts originated by MBNA. It is expected that portfolios of credit card accounts purchased by MBNA from

other credit card issuers will be added to master trust II from time to time.

Each cardholder is subject to an agreement with MBNA setting forth the terms and conditions of the related MasterCard, Visa or

American Express account. MBNA reserves the right to add or to change any terms, conditions, services or features of its MasterCard, Visa or

American Express accounts at any time by giving notice to the cardholder, including

Table of Contents

increasing or decreasing periodic finance charges, other charges and payment terms. The agreement with each cardholder provides that MBNA

may apply such changes, when applicable, to current outstanding balances as well as to future transactions. The cardholder can reject certain

changes in terms by giving timely written notification to MBNA and then no longer using the account.

MBNA Technology, Inc.

Credit card processing services performed by MBNA Technology, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBNA, include information and

data processing, payment processing, statement rendering, card production, fulfillment operations and network services. MBNA Technology,

Inc.’s data network provides an interface to MasterCard, Visa and American Express for performing authorizations and settlement funds

transfers. Most data processing and network functions are performed at MBNA Technology, Inc.’s facilities in Dallas, Texas and Newark,

Delaware.

Interchange

Member banks participating in the Visa, MasterCard and American Express associations receive certain fees called interchange from

Visa, MasterCard and American Express as partial compensation for taking credit risk, absorbing fraud losses and funding receivables for a

limited period prior to initial billing. Under the Visa, MasterCard and American Express systems, a portion of this interchange in connection

with cardholder charges for goods and services is passed from banks which clear the transactions for merchants to credit card issuing banks.

Interchange fees are set annually by Visa, MasterCard and American Express and are based on the number of credit card transactions and the

amount charged per transaction. MBNA will be required to transfer to master trust II a percentage of the interchange attributed to cardholder

charges for goods and services in the related accounts. Interchange arising under the related accounts will be allocated to the collateral

certificate and will be treated as collections of finance charge receivables and will be used to pay required monthly payments to the issuer and

to pay a portion of the servicing fee paid to the servicer.

Master Trust II

The following discussion summarizes the material terms of the pooling and servicing agreement—dated August 4, 1994, between

MBNA, as seller and servicer, and The Bank of New York, as master trust II trustee, which has been and may be amended from time to time,

and is referred to in this prospectus as the master trust II agreement—and the series supplements to the master trust II agreement. The summary

does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the master trust II agreement and the series

supplements.

General

Master trust II has been formed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Master trust II is governed by the master trust II

agreement. Master trust II will only engage in the following business activities:

• acquiring and holding master trust II assets;

Table of Contents

• issuing series of certificates and other interests in master trust II;

• receiving collections and making payments on the collateral certificate and other interests; and

• engaging in related activities (including, with respect to any series, obtaining any enhancement and entering into an enhancement

agreement relating thereto).

As a consequence, master trust II is not expected to have any need for additional capital resources other than the assets of master trust

II.

Master Trust II Trustee

The Bank of New York is the master trust II trustee under the master trust II agreement. MBNA, the servicer and their respective

affiliates may from time to time enter into normal banking and trustee relationships with the master trust II trustee and its affiliates. The master

trust II trustee, MBNA, the servicer and any of their respective affiliates may hold certificates in their own names. For purposes of meeting the

legal requirements of certain local jurisdictions, the master trust II trustee will have the power to appoint a co-master trust II trustee or separate

master trust II trustees of all or any part of master trust II. In the event of such appointment, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred

or imposed upon the master trust II trustee by the master trust II agreement will be conferred or imposed upon the master trust II trustee and

such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, or, in any jurisdiction in which the master trust II trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to

perform certain acts, singly upon such separate trustee or co-trustee who shall exercise and perform such rights, powers, duties and obligations

solely at the direction of the master trust II trustee.

Under the terms of the master trust II agreement, the servicer agrees to pay to the master trust II trustee reasonable compensation for

performance of its duties under the master trust II agreement. The master trust II trustee has agreed to perform only those duties specifically set

forth in the master trust II agreement. Many of the duties of the master trust II trustee are described in “Master Trust II” and throughout this

prospectus and the related prospectus supplement. Under the terms of the master trust II agreement, the master trust II trustee’s limited

responsibilities include the following:

• to deliver to certificateholders of record certain notices, reports and other documents received by the master trust II trustee, as required

under the master trust II agreement;

• to authenticate, deliver, cancel and otherwise administer the investor certificates;

• to remove and reassign ineligible receivables and accounts from master trust II;

• to establish and maintain necessary master trust II accounts and to maintain accurate records of activity in those accounts;

• to serve as the initial transfer agent, paying agent and registrar, and, if it resigns these duties, to appoint a successor transfer agent,

paying agent and registrar;

• to invest funds in the master trust II accounts at the direction of the servicer;

Table of Contents

• to represent the certificateholders in interactions with clearing agencies and other similar organizations;

• to distribute and transfer funds at the direction of the servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the master trust II

agreement;

• to file with the appropriate party all documents necessary to protect the rights and interests of the certificateholders;

• to enforce the rights of the certificateholders against the servicer, if necessary;

• to notify the certificateholders and other parties, to sell the receivables, and to allocate the proceeds of such sale, in the event of the

termination of master trust II;

• to cause a sale of receivables on the legal maturity date of any accelerated tranche of notes; and

• to perform certain other administrative functions identified in the master trust II agreement.

In addition to the responsibilities described above, the master trust II trustee has the discretion to require MBNA to cure a potential pay

out event and to declare a pay out event. See “Master Trust II—Pay Out Events.”

In the event that the seller becomes insolvent, if any series of investor certificates issued on or prior to April 25, 2001 is outstanding,

the master trust II trustee shall: (1) notify the certificateholders of the insolvency, (2) dispose of the receivables in a commercially reasonable

manner, and (3) allocate the proceeds of such sale. See “Master Trust II—Pay Out Events.”

If a servicer default occurs, in addition to the responsibilities described above, the master trust II trustee may be required to appoint a

successor servicer or to take over servicing responsibilities under the master trust II agreement. See “Master Trust II—Servicer Default.” In

addition, if a servicer default occurs, the master trust II trustee, in its discretion, may proceed to protect its rights or the rights of the investor

certificateholders under the master trust II agreement by a suit, action or other judicial proceeding.

The master trust II trustee is not liable for any errors of judgment as long as the errors are made in good faith and the master trust II

trustee was not negligent. The master trust II trustee may resign at any time, and it may be forced to resign if the master trust II trustee fails to

meet the eligibility requirements specified in the master trust II agreement.

The holders of a majority of investor certificates have the right to direct the time, method or place of conducting any proceeding for any

remedy available to the trustee under the master trust II agreement.

The master trust II trustee may resign at any time, in which event MBNA will be obligated to appoint a successor master trust II trustee.

MBNA may also remove the master trust II trustee if the master trust II trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the master trust

II agreement or if the master trust II trustee becomes insolvent. In such

Table of Contents

circumstances, MBNA will be obligated to appoint a successor master trust II trustee. Any resignation or removal of the master trust II trustee

and appointment of a successor master trust II trustee does not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor master

trust II trustee.

The Receivables

The Master Trust II Portfolio consists of receivables which arise in credit card accounts selected from the Bank Portfolio on the basis of

criteria set forth in the master trust II agreement as applied on the Cut-Off Date and, with respect to additional accounts, as of the date of their

designation. MBNA will have the right (subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth therein), and in some circumstances will be

obligated, to designate from time to time additional eligible revolving credit card accounts to be included as accounts and to transfer to master

trust II all receivables of such additional accounts, whether such receivables are then existing or thereafter created, or to transfer to master trust

II participations in receivables instead.

MBNA, as seller, will be required to designate additional credit card accounts, to the extent available:

(a) to maintain the Seller Interest so that, during any period of 30 consecutive days, the Seller Interest averaged over that period

equals or exceeds the Minimum Seller Interest for the same period; and

(b) to maintain, for so long as master trust II investor certificates of any series (including the collateral certificate) remain

outstanding, an aggregate amount of principal receivables equal to or greater than the minimum aggregate principal receivables. Any

additional credit card accounts designated by MBNA must meet certain eligibility requirements on the date of designation.

MBNA also has the right (subject to certain limitations and conditions) to require the master trust II trustee to reconvey all receivables

in credit card accounts designated by MBNA for removal, whether such receivables are then existing or thereafter created. Once a credit card

account is removed, receivables existing under that credit card account are not transferred to master trust II.

Throughout the term of master trust II, the credit card accounts from which the receivables arise will be the credit card accounts

designated by MBNA on the Cut-Off Date plus any additional credit card accounts minus any removed credit card accounts. With respect to

each series of certificates issued by master trust II, MBNA will represent and warrant to master trust II that, as of the date of issuance of the

related series and the date receivables are conveyed to master trust II, such receivables meet certain eligibility requirements. See “—

Representations and Warranties” below.

The prospectus supplement relating to each series, class or tranche of notes will provide certain information about the Master Trust II

Portfolio as of the date specified. Such information will include, but not be limited to, the amount of principal receivables, the amount

Table of Contents

of finance charge receivables, the range of principal balances of the credit card accounts and the average thereof, the range of credit limits of

the credit card accounts and the average thereof, the range of ages of the credit card accounts and the average thereof, the geographic

distribution of the credit card accounts, the types of credit card accounts and delinquency statistics relating to the credit card accounts.

Investor Certificates

Each series of master trust II certificates will represent interests in certain assets of master trust II, including the right to the applicable

investor percentage of all cardholder payments on the receivables in master trust II. For the collateral certificate, the Investor Interest on any

date will be equal to the sum of the nominal liquidation amounts of all notes secured by the collateral certificate.

MBNA initially will own the Seller Interest which represents the interest in master trust II not represented by the investor certificates

issued and outstanding under master trust II or the rights, if any, of any credit enhancement providers to receive payments from master trust II.

The holder of the Seller Interest, subject to certain limitations, will have the right to the Seller Percentage of all cardholder payments from the

receivables in master trust II. The Seller Interest may be transferred in whole or in part subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in

the master trust II agreement. At the discretion of MBNA, the Seller Interest may be held either in an uncertificated form or in the form of a

certificate representing the Seller Interest, called a seller certificate. See “—Certain Matters Regarding MBNA as Seller and as Servicer”

below.

The amount of principal receivables in master trust II will vary each day as new principal receivables are created and others are paid or

charged-off as uncollectible. The amount of the Seller Interest will fluctuate each day, therefore, to reflect the changes in the amount of the

principal receivables in master trust II. As a result, the Seller Interest will generally increase to reflect reductions in the Investor Interest for

such series and will also change to reflect the variations in the amount of principal receivables in master trust II. The Seller Interest will

generally decrease as a result of the issuance of a new series of investor certificates by master trust II or as a result of an increase in the

collateral certificate due to the issuance of a new series, class or tranche of notes or otherwise. See “—New Issuances” below and “The Notes—

Issuances of New Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes” in this prospectus.

Transfer and Assignment of Receivables

MBNA has transferred and assigned all of its right, title and interest in and to the receivables in the credit card accounts and all

receivables thereafter created in the accounts.

In connection with each previous transfer of the receivables to master trust II, MBNA indicated, and in connection with each subsequent

transfer of receivables to master trust II, MBNA will indicate, in its computer files that the receivables have been conveyed to master trust II. In

addition, MBNA has provided to the master trust II trustee computer files or microfiche lists, containing a true and complete list showing each

credit card account,

Table of Contents

identified by account number and by total outstanding balance on the date of transfer. MBNA will not deliver to the master trust II trustee any

other records or agreements relating to the credit card accounts or the receivables, except in connection with additions or removals of credit

card accounts. Except as stated above, the records and agreements relating to the credit card accounts and the receivables in master trust II

maintained by MBNA or the servicer are not and will not be segregated by MBNA or the servicer from other documents and agreements

relating to other credit card accounts and receivables and are not and will not be stamped or marked to reflect the transfer of the receivables to

master trust II, but the computer records of MBNA are and will be required to be marked to evidence such transfer. MBNA has filed Uniform

Commercial Code financing statements with respect to the receivables in master trust II meeting the requirements of Delaware state law. See

“Risk Factors” and “Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables” in this prospectus.

Addition of Master Trust II Assets

As described above under “—The Receivables,” MBNA has the right to designate to master trust II, from time to time, additional credit

card accounts for the related receivables to be included as receivables transferred to master trust II. MBNA will convey to master trust II its

interest in all receivables of such additional credit card accounts, whether such receivables are then existing or thereafter created.

Each additional account, including each such account acquired by MBNA, must be an Eligible Account at the time of its designation.

However, additional credit card accounts may not be of the same credit quality as the initial credit card accounts transferred to master trust II.

Additional credit card accounts may have been originated by MBNA using credit criteria different from those which were applied by MBNA to

the initial credit card accounts transferred to master trust II or may have been acquired by MBNA from an institution which may have had

different credit criteria.

In addition to or in lieu of additional credit card accounts, MBNA is permitted to add to master trust II participations representing

interests in a pool of assets primarily consisting of receivables arising under consumer revolving credit card accounts owned by MBNA and

collections thereon. Participations may be evidenced by one or more certificates of ownership issued under a separate pooling and servicing

agreement or similar agreement entered into by MBNA which entitles the certificateholder to receive percentages of collections generated by

the pool of assets subject to such participation agreement from time to time and to certain other rights and remedies specified therein.

Participations may have their own credit enhancement, pay out events, servicing obligations and servicer defaults, all of which are likely to be

enforceable by a separate trustee under the participation agreement and may be different from those specified in this prospectus. The rights and

remedies of master trust II as the holder of a participation (and therefore the certificateholders) will be subject to all the terms and provisions of

the related participation agreement. The master trust II agreement may be amended to permit the addition of a participation in master trust II

without the consent of the related certificateholders if:

• MBNA delivers to the master trust II trustee a certificate of an authorized officer to the effect that, in the reasonable belief of MBNA,

such amendment will not as of the date

Table of Contents

of such amendment adversely affect in any material respect the interest of such certificateholders; and

• such amendment will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any outstanding series under master trust II by any rating

agency.

A conveyance by MBNA to master trust II of receivables in additional credit card accounts or participations is subject to the following

conditions, among others:

• MBNA shall give the master trust II trustee, each rating agency and the servicer written notice that such additional accounts or

participations will be included, which notice shall specify the approximate aggregate amount of the receivables or interests therein to

be transferred;

• MBNA shall have delivered to the master trust II trustee a written assignment (including an acceptance by the master trust II trustee on

behalf of master trust II for the benefit of the certificateholders) as provided in the assignment agreement relating to such additional

accounts or participations, and MBNA shall have delivered to the master trust II trustee a computer file or microfiche list, dated as of

the Addition Date, containing a true and complete list of such additional accounts or participations transferred to master trust II;

• MBNA shall represent and warrant that:

—each additional credit card account is, as of the Addition Date, an Eligible Account, and each receivable in such additional credit

card account is, as of the Addition Date, an Eligible Receivable;

—no selection procedures believed by the seller to be materially adverse to the interests of the certificateholders were utilized in

selecting the additional credit card accounts from the available Eligible Accounts from the Bank Portfolio; and

—as of the Addition Date, MBNA is not insolvent;

• MBNA shall deliver certain opinions of counsel with respect to the transfer of the receivables in the additional credit card accounts or

the participations to master trust II; and

• each rating agency then rating any series of certificates outstanding under master trust II shall have previously, or, in certain limited

circumstances, within a three-month period, consented to the addition of such additional credit card accounts or participations.

In addition to the periodic reports otherwise required to be filed by the servicer with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of

1934, as amended, the servicer intends to file, on behalf of master trust II, a report on Form 8-K with respect to any addition to master trust II

of receivables in additional credit card accounts or participations that would have a material effect on the composition of the assets of master

trust II.

Table of Contents

Removal of Accounts

MBNA may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time certain credit card accounts to be removed accounts, all

receivables in which shall be subject to removal from master trust II. MBNA, however, may not make more than one such designation in any

month. MBNA will be permitted to designate and require reassignment to it of the receivables from removed accounts only upon satisfaction of

the following conditions, among others:

• the removal of any receivables of any removed accounts shall not, in the reasonable belief of MBNA, cause a Pay Out Event to occur;

• MBNA shall have delivered to master trust II for execution a written assignment and a computer file or microfiche list, dated as of the

Removal Date, containing a true and complete list of all removed accounts identified by account number and the aggregate amount of

the receivables in such removed accounts;

• MBNA shall represent and warrant that no selection procedures believed by MBNA to be materially adverse to the interests of the

holders of any series of certificates outstanding under master trust II were utilized in selecting the removed accounts to be removed

from master trust II;

• each rating agency then rating each series of investor certificates outstanding under master trust II shall have received notice of such

proposed removal of accounts and MBNA shall have received notice from each such rating agency that such proposed removal will not

result in a downgrade or withdrawal of its then-current rating for any such series;

• the aggregate amount of principal receivables of the accounts then existing in master trust II less the aggregate amount of principal

receivables of the removed accounts shall not be less than the amount specified, if any, for any period specified;

• the principal receivables of the removed accounts shall not equal or exceed 5% of the aggregate amount of the principal receivables in

master trust II at such time; except, that if any series of master trust II investor certificates or tranche of notes has been paid in full, the

principal receivables in such removed accounts may not equal or exceed the sum of:

— the initial Investor Interest or the aggregate principal amount of the certificates of such series or tranche, as applicable, of such

series; plus

— 5% of the aggregate amount of the principal receivables in master trust II at such time after giving effect to the removal of

accounts in an amount approximately equal to the initial Investor Interest of such series; and

• MBNA shall have delivered to the master trust II trustee an officer’s certificate confirming the items set forth above.

In addition, MBNA’s designation of any account as a removed account shall be random, unless MBNA’s designation of any such

account is in response to a third-party action or decision not to act and not the unilateral action of the seller.

Table of Contents

MBNA will be permitted to designate as a removed account without the consent of the master trust II trustee, certificateholders,

noteholders or rating agencies, and without having to satisfy the conditions described above, any account that has a zero balance and which

MBNA will remove from its computer file.

Collection and Other Servicing Procedures

The servicer will be responsible for servicing and administering the receivables in accordance with the servicer’s policies and

procedures for servicing credit card receivables comparable to the receivables. The servicer will be required to maintain fidelity bond coverage

insuring against losses through wrongdoing of its officers and employees who are involved in the servicing of credit card receivables covering

such actions and in such amounts as the servicer believes to be reasonable from time to time.

The servicer may not resign from its obligations and duties under the master trust II agreement, except upon determination that

performance of its duties is no longer permissible under applicable law. No such resignation will become effective until the master trust II

trustee or a successor to the servicer has assumed the servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under the master trust II agreement. MBNA, as

initial servicer, intends to delegate some of its servicing duties to MBNA Technology, Inc.; however, such delegation will not relieve it of its

obligation to perform such duties in accordance with the master trust II agreement.

Master Trust II Accounts

The servicer will establish and maintain, in the name of master trust II, for the benefit of certificateholders of all series, an account

established for the purpose of holding collections of receivables, called a master trust II collection account, which will be a non-interest bearing

segregated account established and maintained with the servicer or with a Qualified Institution. A Qualified Institution may also be a

depository institution, which may include the master trust II trustee, which is acceptable to each rating agency.

In addition, for the benefit of the investor certificateholders of certificates issued by master trust II, the master trust II trustee will

establish and maintain in the name of master trust II two separate accounts, called a finance charge account and a principal account, in

segregated master trust II accounts (which need not be deposit accounts). Funds in the principal account and the finance charge account for

master trust II will be invested, at the direction of the servicer, in Permitted Investments.

Any earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds in the finance charge account or the principal account allocable to the

collateral certificate will be included in collections of finance charge receivables allocable to the collateral certificate. The servicer will have

the revocable power to withdraw funds from the master trust II collection account and to instruct the master trust II trustee to make

withdrawals and payments from the finance charge account and the principal account for the purpose of carrying out the servicer’s duties.

Table of Contents

Investor Percentage

The servicer will allocate between the Investor Interest of each series issued and outstanding and the Seller Interest, all amounts

collected on finance charge receivables, all amounts collected on principal receivables and all receivables in Defaulted Accounts, based on a

varying percentage called the investor percentage. The servicer will make each allocation by reference to the applicable investor percentage of

each series and the Seller Percentage, and, in certain circumstances, the percentage interest of certain credit enhancement providers, with

respect to such series. For a description of how allocations will be made to the collateral certificate by master trust II, see “Sources of Funds to

Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate.”

Application of Collections

Except as otherwise provided below, the servicer will deposit into the master trust II collection account, no later than the second

Business Day following the date of processing, any payment collected by the servicer on the receivables in master trust II. On the same day as

any such deposit is made, the servicer will make the deposits and payments to the accounts and parties as indicated below. MBNA, as servicer,

may make such deposits and payments on a monthly or other periodic basis on each Transfer Date in an amount equal to the net amount of such

deposits and payments which would have been made on a daily basis if:

• (i) the servicer provides to the master trust II trustee a letter of credit covering collection risk of the servicer acceptable to the specified

rating agency, and

(ii) MBNA shall not have received a notice from such rating agency that such letter of credit would result in the lowering of such

rating agency’s then-existing rating of any series of certificates previously issued by master trust II and then-outstanding; or

• the servicer has and maintains a certificate of deposit rating of P-1 by Moody’s and of A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and deposit

insurance.

Whether the servicer is required to make monthly or daily deposits from the master trust II collection account into the finance charge

account or the principal account, with respect to any month:

• the servicer will only be required to deposit collections from the master trust II collection account into the finance charge account, the

principal account or any series account established by a related series supplement up to the required amount to be deposited into any

such deposit account or, without duplication, distributed or deposited on or prior to the related Distribution Date to certificateholders;

and

• if at any time prior to such Distribution Date the amount of collections deposited in the master trust II collection account, finance

charge account or principal account exceeds the amount required to be deposited pursuant to this section, the servicer, subject to

certain limitations, will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the master trust II collection account, finance charge account or

principal account, as applicable.

Table of Contents

The servicer will withdraw the following amounts from the master trust II collection account for application as indicated:

(a) An amount equal to the Seller Percentage of the aggregate amount of such deposits in respect of principal receivables will be:

—paid to the holder of the Seller Interest if, and only to the extent that, the Seller Interest is greater than the Minimum Seller

Interest; or

—deposited in the principal account and treated as Unallocated Principal Collections.

(b) An amount equal to the Seller Percentage of the aggregate amount of such deposits in respect of finance charge receivables

will be:

—deposited in the finance charge account (in an amount equal to the amount of such deposits times the aggregate prefunded amount,

if any, on deposit in the principal funding subaccount for any tranche of notes divided by the Seller Interest) and paid to the issuer

on the following Transfer Date (in amount not to exceed the positive difference, if any, between (i) the amount of interest payable

to noteholders and derivative counterparties, if any, on such prefunded amount and (ii) the net investment earnings on such

prefunded amounts for such month); or

—otherwise paid to the holder of the Seller Interest.

(c) For master trust II certificates other than the collateral certificate, an amount equal to the applicable investor percentage of the

aggregate amount of such deposits with respect to the finance charge receivables will be deposited into the finance charge account and

the aggregate amount of such deposits with respect to principal receivables will be deposited into the principal account, in each case, for

application and distribution in accordance with the related series supplement. However, so long as certain conditions are satisfied,

including that no Pay Out Event has occurred or is continuing, collections of principal receivables allocable to subordinated classes of

investor certificates will be deposited in the principal account only up to an amount (not less than zero) equal to:

—1.5 times the total monthly interest to be deposited during the current month for all classes of investor certificates described in the

related series supplement, plus

—if MBNA or The Bank of New York is not the servicer, the monthly servicing fee, minus

—the preceding month’s finance charge collections allocated to the related investor certificates (unless the servicer has knowledge

that the current month’s finance charge collections will be materially less than the finance charge collections for the prior month,

in which case, the lesser amount will be used).

Any collections of principal receivables allocable to subordinated classes of investor certificates in excess of such amount will be

commingled with MBNA’s other funds until the following Transfer Date.

(d) For the collateral certificate, deposits in respect of finance charge receivables and principal receivables will be allocated to the

collateral certificate as described in “Sources

Table of Contents

of Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” in this prospectus. However, so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including

that no Pay Out Event with respect to the collateral certificate has occurred or is continuing, and that neither an early redemption event

nor an event of default with respect to the notes has occurred or is continuing, collections of principal receivables allocable to

subordinated classes of notes will be deposited in the principal account only up to an amount (not less than zero) equal to:

—1.5 times the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited in the interest funding account during the current month and, following

any issuance of notes during such month, the aggregate amount targeted to be deposited in the interest funding account for such

newly issued notes during the following month, plus

—if MBNA or The Bank of New York is not the servicer, the monthly servicing fee, minus

—the preceding month’s finance charge collections allocated to the collateral certificate (unless the servicer has knowledge that the

current month’s finance charge collections will be materially less than the finance charge collections for the prior month, in which

case, the lesser amount will be used).

Any collections of principal receivables allocable to subordinated classes of notes in excess of such amount will be commingled with

MBNA’s other funds until the following Transfer Date.

The amount of collections of principal receivables to be deposited in the principal account with respect to subordinated classes of investor

certificates described in clause (c) above, or subordinated classes of notes as described in clause (d) above, is subject to amendment with rating

agency approval.

Any Unallocated Principal Collections will be held in the principal account and paid to the holder of the Seller Interest if, and only to

the extent that, the Seller Interest is greater than the Minimum Seller Interest. Unallocated Principal Collections will be held for or distributed

to investor certificateholders of the series of certificates issued by master trust II (including the collateral certificate) in accordance with related

series supplements.

Defaulted Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges

On each Determination Date, the servicer will calculate the Aggregate Investor Default Amount for the preceding month, which will be

equal to the aggregate amount of the investor percentage of principal receivables in Defaulted Accounts; that is, credit card accounts which in

such month were written off as uncollectible in accordance with the servicer’s policies and procedures for servicing credit card receivables

comparable to the receivables in master trust II. Recoveries on receivables in Defaulted Accounts will be included as finance charge collections

payable to master trust II, provided that if any of such recoveries relates to both receivables in Defaulted Accounts and other receivables, and it

cannot be determined with objective certainty whether such recoveries relate to receivables in Defaulted Accounts or other receivables, the

amount of recoveries included as finance charge collections payable to

Table of Contents

master trust II will be the servicer’s reasonable estimate of the amount recovered in respect of receivables in Defaulted Accounts.

If the servicer adjusts the amount of any principal receivable because of transactions occurring in respect of a rebate or refund to a

cardholder, or because such principal receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by a cardholder, then the

Seller Interest will be reduced by the amount of the adjustment. In addition, the Seller Interest will be reduced as a result of transactions in

respect of any principal receivable which was discovered as having been created through a fraudulent or counterfeit charge.

Master Trust II Termination

Master trust II will terminate on the Master Trust II Termination Date. Upon the termination of master trust II and the surrender of the

Seller Interest, the master trust II trustee shall convey to the holder of the Seller Interest all right, title and interest of master trust II in and to

the receivables and other funds of master trust II.

Pay Out Events

A Pay Out Event will cause the early redemption of the notes. A Pay Out Event refers to any of the following events:

(a) failure on the part of MBNA (i) to make any payment or deposit on the date required under the master trust II agreement or the

Series 2001-D supplement (or within the applicable grace period which shall not exceed 5 days) or (ii) to observe or perform in any

material respect any other covenants or agreements of MBNA set forth in the master trust II agreement or the Series 2001-D

supplement, which failure has a material adverse effect on the certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 60

days after written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, and continues to materially and adversely affect the

interests of the certificateholders for such period;

(b) any representation or warranty made by MBNA in the master trust II agreement or the Series 2001-D supplement, or any information

required to be given by MBNA to the master trust II trustee to identify the credit card accounts, proves to have been incorrect in any

material respect when made or delivered and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after

written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, and as a result of which the interests of the certificateholders are

materially and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely affected for such period, except that a Pay Out Event

described in this clause (b) will not occur if MBNA has accepted reassignment of the related receivable or all such receivables, if

applicable, during such period (or such longer period as the master trust II trustee may specify) in accordance with the provisions of

the master trust II agreement;

(c) a failure by MBNA to convey receivables arising under additional credit card accounts, or participations, to master trust II when

required by the master trust II agreement;

Table of Contents

(d) any Servicer Default occurs which would have a material adverse effect on the certificateholders;

(e) certain events of insolvency, conservatorship or receivership relating to MBNA;

(f) MBNA becomes unable for any reason to transfer receivables to master trust II in accordance with the provisions of the master trust

II agreement; or

(g) master trust II becomes an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In the case of any event described in clause (a), (b) or (d) above, a Pay Out Event will occur only if, after any applicable grace period,

either the master trust II trustee or the noteholders evidencing interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar

Principal Amount of the outstanding notes, by written notice to MBNA and the servicer (and to the master trust II trustee if given by the

certificateholders) declare that a Pay Out Event has occurred as of the date of such notice.

In the case of any event described in clause (c), (e), (f) or (g), a Pay Out Event will occur without any notice or other action on the part

of the master trust II trustee or the noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event.

In addition to the consequences of a Pay Out Event discussed above and solely to the extent the investor certificates of any series issued

on or prior to April 25, 2001 are outstanding, if pursuant to certain provisions of federal law, MBNA voluntarily enters liquidation or a receiver

is appointed for MBNA, on the day of such event MBNA will immediately cease to transfer principal receivables to master trust II and

promptly give notice to the master trust II trustee of such event. Within 15 days, the master trust II trustee will publish a notice of the

liquidation or the appointment stating that the master trust II trustee intends to sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the receivables in master

trust II. Unless otherwise instructed within a specified period by certificateholders representing interests aggregating more than 50% of the

Investor Interest of each series issued and outstanding, the master trust II trustee will use its best efforts to sell, dispose of, or otherwise

liquidate the receivables in master trust II through the solicitation of competitive bids and on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer, as

determined by the master trust II trustee. The noteholders will be deemed to have disapproved of such sale, liquidation or disposition.

However, neither MBNA, nor any affiliate or agent of MBNA, may purchase the receivables of master trust II in the event of such sale,

liquidation or disposition. The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of such receivables will be treated as collections of the

receivables and applied as specified above in “—Application of Collections.”

If the only Pay Out Event to occur is either the insolvency of MBNA or the appointment of a conservator or receiver for MBNA, the

conservator or receiver may have the power to prevent the early sale, liquidation or disposition of the receivables in master trust II and the

commencement of a Rapid Amortization Period. In addition, a conservator or receiver may have the power to cause the early sale of the

receivables in master trust II and the early retirement of the certificates. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the accompanying

prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

On the date on which a Pay Out Event occurs, the Rapid Amortization Period will commence. A Pay Out Event for the collateral

certificate is also an early redemption event for the notes. See “The Indenture—Early Redemption Events.”

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

The share of the master trust II servicing fee allocable to the collateral certificate for any Transfer Date, called the Investor Servicing

Fee, will equal one-twelfth of the product of (i) 2.0% and (ii) the Weighted Average Floating Allocation Investor Interest for the collateral

certificate for the month preceding such Transfer Date. On each Transfer Date, if MBNA or The Bank of New York is the servicer, servicer

interchange for the related month that is on deposit in the finance charge account will be withdrawn from the finance charge account and paid

to the servicer in payment of a portion of the Investor Servicing Fee for such month.

The servicer interchange for any month for which MBNA or The Bank of New York is the servicer will be an amount equal to the

portion of collections of finance charge receivables allocated to the Investor Interest for the collateral certificate for such month that is

attributable to interchange. However, servicer interchange for a month will not exceed one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Weighted Average

Floating Allocation Investor Interest for the collateral certificate for such month and (ii) 0.75%. In the case of any insufficiency of servicer

interchange on deposit in the finance charge account, a portion of the Investor Servicing Fee allocable to the collateral certificate with respect

to such month will not be paid to the extent of such insufficiency and in no event shall master trust II, the master trust II trustee or the collateral

certificateholder be liable for the share of the servicing fee to be paid out of servicer interchange.

The share of the Investor Servicing Fee allocable to the collateral certificate for any Transfer Date, called the Net Servicing Fee, is

equal to one-twelfth of the product of (i) the Weighted Average Floating Allocation Investor Interest for the collateral certificate and

(ii) 1.25%, or if MBNA or The Bank of New York is not the servicer, 2.0%.

The Investor Servicing Fee allocable to the collateral certificate will be funded from collections of finance charge receivables allocated

to the collateral certificate. The remainder of the servicing fee for master trust II will be allocable to the Seller Interest, the Investor Interests of

any other series of investor certificates issued by master trust II and any other interests in master trust II, if any, with respect to such series.

Neither master trust II, the master trust II trustee nor the certificateholders of any series of investor certificates issued by master trust II

(including the collateral certificate) will have any obligation to pay the portion of the servicing fee allocable to the Seller Interest.

The servicer will pay from its servicing compensation certain expenses incurred in connection with servicing the receivables including,

without limitation, payment of the fees and disbursements of the master trust II trustee, the owner trustee, the indenture trustee and

independent certified public accountants and other fees which are not expressly stated in the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement or

the indenture to be payable by master trust II

Table of Contents

or the investor certificateholders other than federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, if any, of master trust II.

New Issuances

The master trust II agreement provides that the holder of the Seller Interest may cause the master trust II trustee to issue one or more

new series of certificates and may define all principal terms of such series. Each series issued may have different terms and enhancements than

any other series. None of MBNA, the servicer, the master trust II trustee or master trust II is required or intends to obtain the consent of any

certificateholder of any other series previously issued by master trust II or any noteholder of a series previously issued by the issuer prior to the

issuance of a new series of master trust II investor certificates. However, as a condition of a new issuance, the holder of the Seller Interest will

deliver to the master trust II trustee written confirmation that the new issuance will not result in the reduction or withdrawal by any rating

agency of its rating of any outstanding series.

Under the master trust II agreement, the holder of the Seller Interest may cause a new issuance by notifying the master trust II trustee at

least three days in advance of the date upon which the new issuance is to occur. The notice will state the designation of any series to be issued

and:

• its initial principal amount (or method for calculating such amount) which amount may not be greater than the current principal

amount of the Seller Interest;

• its certificate rate (or method of calculating such rate); and

• the provider of any credit enhancement.

The master trust II trustee will authenticate a new series only if it receives the following, among others:

• a series supplement specifying the principal terms of such series;

• an opinion of counsel to the effect that, unless otherwise stated in the related series supplement, the certificates of such series will be

characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes;

• a master trust II tax opinion;

• if required by the related series supplement, the form of credit enhancement;

• if credit enhancement is required by the series supplement, an appropriate credit enhancement agreement executed by MBNA and the

credit enhancer;

• written confirmation from each rating agency that the new issuance will not result in such rating agency’s reducing or withdrawing its

rating on any then outstanding series rated by it; and

• an officer’s certificate of MBNA to the effect that after giving effect to the new issuance MBNA would not be required to add

additional accounts pursuant to the master trust II agreement and the Seller Interest would be at least equal to the Minimum Seller

Interest.

Table of Contents

Representations and Warranties

MBNA has made in the master trust II agreement certain representations and warranties to master trust II to the effect that, among other

things:

• as of the issuance date, MBNA is duly incorporated and in good standing and that it has the authority to consummate the transactions

contemplated by the master trust II agreement; and

• as of the Cut-Off Date (or as of the date of the designation of additional accounts), each account is an Eligible Account (as defined in

the glossary).

If,

• any of these representations and warranties proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, and continues to be

incorrect for 60 days after notice to MBNA by the master trust II trustee or to the seller and the master trust II trustee by the

certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Investor Interest of the related series; and

• as a result the interests of the certificateholders are materially and adversely affected, and continue to be materially and adversely

affected during such period;

then the master trust II trustee or certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Investor Interest may give notice to MBNA (and to the

master trust II trustee in the latter instance) declaring that a Pay Out Event has occurred, thereby causing an early redemption event to occur

with respect to the notes.

MBNA has also made representations and warranties to master trust II relating to the receivables in master trust II to the effect that,

among other things:

• as of the issuance date of the initial series of certificates issued by master trust II, each of the receivables then existing in master trust II

is an Eligible Receivable; and

• as of the date of creation of any new receivable, such receivable is an Eligible Receivable and the representation and warranty that the

transfer was a sale or the grant of a perfected security interest, as described below, is true and correct with respect to such receivable.

In the event of a breach of any representation and warranty set forth in the preceding paragraph, within 60 days, or such longer period

(not to exceed 120 days) as may be agreed to by the master trust II trustee, of the earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach by MBNA, as

seller or as servicer, or receipt by MBNA of written notice of such breach given by the master trust II trustee, or, with respect to certain

breaches relating to prior liens, immediately upon the earlier to occur of such discovery or notice and as a result of such breach, the receivables

in the accounts of master trust II are charged-off as uncollectible, master trust II’s rights in, to or under the receivables or their proceeds are

impaired or the proceeds of such receivables are not available for any reason to master trust II free and clear of any lien (except for certain tax,

governmental and other nonconsensual liens), then MBNA

Table of Contents

will be obligated to accept reassignment of each related principal receivable as an ineligible receivable. Such reassignment will not be required

to be made, however, if, on any day within the applicable period, or such longer period, the representations and warranties shall then be true

and correct in all material respects.

MBNA will accept reassignment of each ineligible receivable by directing the servicer to deduct the amount of each such ineligible

receivable from the aggregate amount of principal receivables used to calculate the Seller Interest. In the event that the exclusion of an

ineligible receivable from the calculation of the Seller Interest would cause the Seller Interest to be a negative number, on the date of

reassignment of such ineligible receivable MBNA shall make a deposit in the collection account in immediately available funds in an amount

equal to the amount by which the Seller Interest would be reduced below zero. Any such deduction or deposit shall be considered a repayment

in full of the ineligible receivable. The obligation of MBNA to accept reassignment of any ineligible receivable is the sole remedy respecting

any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph with respect to such receivable available to the certificateholders or

the master trust II trustee on behalf of certificateholders.

MBNA has also represented and warranted to master trust II to the effect that, among other things, as of the issuance date of the initial

series of certificates issued by master trust II:

• the master trust II agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of MBNA; and

• the transfer of receivables by it to master trust II under the master trust II agreement will constitute either:

— a valid transfer and assignment to master trust II of all right, title and interest of MBNA in and to the receivables in master trust II

(other than receivables in additional accounts), whether then existing or thereafter created and the proceeds thereof (including

amounts in any of the accounts established for the benefit of certificateholders); or

— the grant of a first priority perfected security interest in such receivables (except for certain tax, governmental and other

nonconsensual liens) and the proceeds thereof (including amounts in any of the accounts established for the benefit of

certificateholders), which is effective as to each such receivable upon the creation thereof.

In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties described in the preceding paragraph, either the master trust II

trustee or the holders of certificates evidencing interests in master trust II aggregating more than 50% of the aggregate Investor Interest of all

series outstanding under master trust II may direct MBNA to accept reassignment of Master Trust II Portfolio within 60 days of such notice, or

within such longer period specified in such notice. MBNA will be obligated to accept reassignment of such receivables in master trust II on a

Distribution Date occurring within such applicable period. Such reassignment will not be required to be made, however, if at any time during

such applicable period, or such longer

Table of Contents

period, the representations and warranties shall then be true and correct in all material respects. The deposit amount for such reassignment will

be equal to:

• the Investor Interest for each series outstanding under master trust II on the last day of the month preceding the Distribution Date on

which the reassignment is scheduled to be made; minus

• the amount, if any, previously allocated for payment of principal to such certificateholders (or other interest holders) on such

Distribution Date; plus

• an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest less the amount, if any, previously allocated for payment of such interest on such

Distribution Date.

The payment of this reassignment deposit amount and the transfer of all other amounts deposited for the preceding month in the

distribution account will be considered a payment in full of the Investor Interest for each such series required to be repurchased and will be

distributed upon presentation and surrender of the certificates for each such series. If the master trust II trustee or certificateholders give a

notice as provided above, the obligation of MBNA to make any such deposit will constitute the sole remedy respecting a breach of the

representations and warranties available to the master trust II trustee or such certificateholders.

It is not required or anticipated that the master trust II trustee will make any initial or periodic general examination of the receivables or

any records relating to the receivables for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, compliance with MBNA’s

representations and warranties or for any other purpose. The servicer, however, will deliver to the master trust II trustee on or before March 31

of each year (or such other date specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement), an opinion of counsel with respect to the validity of the

security interest of master trust II in and to the receivables and certain other components of master trust II.

Certain Matters Regarding MBNA as Seller and as Servicer

The master trust II agreement provides that the servicer will indemnify master trust II and the master trust II trustee from and against

any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts or omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the

servicer with respect to the activities of master trust II or the master trust II trustee. The servicer, however, will not indemnify:

• the master trust II trustee for liabilities imposed by reason of fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct by the master trust II trustee in

the performance of its duties under the master trust II agreement;

• master trust II, the certificateholders or the certificate owners for liabilities arising from actions taken by the master trust II trustee at

the request of certificateholders;

• master trust II, the certificateholders or the certificate owners for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by any of them in

their capacities as investors, including without limitation, losses incurred as a result of defaulted receivables or receivables which are

written off as uncollectible; or

Table of Contents

• master trust II, the certificateholders or the certificate owners for any liabilities, costs or expenses of master trust II, the

certificateholders or the certificate owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation, any federal, state or local income or

franchise tax or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising from a

failure to comply therewith) required to be paid by master trust II, the certificateholders or the certificate owners in connection with

the master trust II agreement to any taxing authority.

In addition, the master trust II agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, MBNA will indemnify an injured party for any

losses, claims, damages or liabilities (other than those incurred by a certificateholder as an investor in the certificates or those which arise from

any action of a certificateholder) arising out of or based upon the arrangement created by the master trust II agreement as though the master

trust II agreement created a partnership under the Delaware Uniform Partnership Law in which MBNA is a general partner.

Neither MBNA, the servicer nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be under any liability to master trust

II, the master trust II trustee, the investor certificateholders of any certificates issued by master trust II or any other person for any action taken,

or for refraining from taking any action, in good faith pursuant to the master trust II agreement. Neither MBNA, the servicer nor any of their

respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of

willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of MBNA, the servicer or any such person in the performance of its duties or by reason of

reckless disregard of obligations and duties thereunder. In addition, the master trust II agreement provides that the servicer is not under any

obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its servicing responsibilities under the master trust II

agreement and which in its opinion may expose it to any expense or liability.

MBNA may transfer its interest in all or a portion of the Seller Interest, provided that prior to any such transfer:

• the master trust II trustee receives written notification from each rating agency that such transfer will not result in a lowering or

withdrawal of its then-existing rating of the certificates of each outstanding series rated by it; and

• the master trust II trustee receives a written opinion of counsel confirming that such transfer would not adversely affect the treatment

of the certificates of each outstanding series issued by master trust II as debt for federal income tax purposes.

Any person into which, in accordance with the master trust II agreement, MBNA or the servicer may be merged or consolidated or any

person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which MBNA or the servicer is a party, or any person succeeding to the business of

MBNA or the servicer, upon execution of a supplement to the master trust II agreement and delivery of an opinion of counsel with respect to

the compliance of the transaction with the applicable provisions of the master trust II agreement, will be the successor to MBNA or the

servicer, as the case may be, under the master trust II agreement.

Table of Contents

Servicer Default

In the event of any Servicer Default, either the master trust II trustee or certificateholders representing interests aggregating more than

50% of the Investor Interests for all series of certificates of master trust II, by written notice to the servicer (and to the master trust II trustee if

given by the certificateholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the servicer under the master trust II agreement and the

master trust II trustee may appoint a new servicer. Any such termination and appointment is called a service transfer. The rights and interest of

MBNA under the master trust II agreement and in the Seller Interest will not be affected by such termination. The master trust II trustee shall

as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer. Because MBNA, as servicer, has significant responsibilities with respect to the servicing

of the receivables, the master trust II trustee may have difficulty finding a suitable successor servicer. Potential successor servicers may not

have the capacity to adequately perform the duties required of a successor servicer or may not be willing to perform such duties for the amount

of the servicing fee currently payable under the master trust II agreement. If no such servicer has been appointed and has accepted such

appointment by the time the servicer ceases to act as servicer, all authority, power and obligations of the servicer under the master trust II

agreement will pass to the master trust II trustee. The Bank of New York, the master trust II trustee, does not have credit card operations. If

The Bank of New York is automatically appointed as successor servicer it may not have the capacity to perform the duties required of a

successor servicer and current servicing compensation under the master trust II agreement may not be sufficient to cover its actual costs and

expenses of servicing the accounts. Except when the Servicer Default is caused by certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or

receivership of the servicer, if the master trust II trustee is unable to obtain any bids from eligible servicers and the servicer delivers an

officer’s certificate to the effect that it cannot in good faith cure the Servicer Default which gave rise to a transfer of servicing, and if the

master trust II trustee is legally unable to act as successor servicer, then the master trust II trustee shall give MBNA the right of first refusal to

purchase the receivables on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer as determined by the master trust II trustee.

Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a

timely manner in accordance with the terms of the master trust II agreement. The servicer is required to provide the master trust II trustee, any

provider of enhancement and/or any issuer of any third-party credit enhancement, MBNA and the holders of certificates of each series issued

and outstanding under master trust II prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of the cause of such failure or

delay and its efforts to perform its obligations.

In the event of a Servicer Default, if a conservator or receiver is appointed for the servicer and no Servicer Default other than such

conservatorship or receivership or the insolvency of the servicer exists, the conservator or receiver may have the power to prevent either the

master trust II trustee or the majority of the certificateholders from effecting a service transfer. See “Risk Factors—Regulatory action could

cause delays or reductions in payment of your notes” in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

Evidence as to Compliance

On or before August 31 of each calendar year, the servicer is required to cause a firm of independent certified public accountants to

furnish to the master trust II trustee a report, based upon established criteria that meets the standards applicable to accountants’ reports intended

for general distribution, attesting to the fairness of the assertion of the servicer’s management that its internal controls over the functions

performed as servicer of master trust II are effective, in all material respects, in providing reasonable assurance that master trust II assets are

safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, on the date of such report, and that such servicing was conducted in compliance

with the sections of the master trust II agreement during the period covered by such report (which shall be the period from July 1 (or for the

initial period, the relevant issuance date) of the preceding calendar year to and including June 30 of such calendar year), except for such

exceptions or errors as such firm believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

The servicer is also required to provide an annual statement signed by an officer of the servicer to the effect that the servicer has fully

performed its obligations under the master trust II agreement throughout the preceding year, or, if there has been a default in the performance

of any such obligation, specifying the nature and status of the default.

Amendments to the Master Trust II Agreement

By accepting a note, a noteholder will be deemed to acknowledge that MBNA and the master trust II trustee may amend the master

trust II agreement and any series supplement without the consent of any investor certificateholder (including the issuer) or any noteholder, so

long as the amendment will not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the master trust II trustee, materially adversely affect the interest of

any investor certificateholder (including the holder of the collateral certificate).

For purposes of any provision of the master trust II agreement or the Series 2001-D supplement requiring or permitting actions with the

consent of, or at the direction of, certificateholders holding a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of investor

certificates:

• each noteholder will be deemed to be an investor certificateholder;

• each noteholder will be deemed to be the holder of an aggregate unpaid principal amount of the collateral certificate equal to the

Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such noteholder’s notes;

• each series of notes under the indenture will be deemed to be a separate series of master trust II certificates and the holder of a note of

such series will be deemed to be the holder of an aggregate unpaid principal amount of such series of master trust II certificates equal

to the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such noteholder’s notes of such series;

• each tranche of notes under the indenture will be deemed to be a separate class of master trust II certificates and the holder of a note

of such tranche will be deemed to be the holder of an aggregate unpaid principal amount of such class of master trust II

Table of Contents

certificates equal to the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such noteholder’s notes of such tranche; and

• any notes owned by the issuer, the seller, the servicer, any other holder of the Seller Interest or any affiliate thereof will be deemed not

to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the master trust II trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such consent or

direction, only notes which the trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.

However, a noteholder will not have any right to consent to any amendment to the master trust II agreement or the Series 2001-D

supplement providing for (i) the replacement of MBNA as seller under the master trust II agreement with a bankruptcy-remote special purpose

entity, or (ii) so long as the only series of master trust II investor certificates outstanding is Series 2001-D, the consolidation of master trust II

and the issuer or the transfer of assets in master trust II to the issuer.

No amendment to the master trust II agreement will be effective unless the issuer delivers the opinions of counsel described under “ The

Indenture—Tax Opinions for Amendments.”

The master trust II agreement and any series supplement may be amended by MBNA, the servicer and the master trust II trustee,

without the consent of certificateholders of any series then outstanding, for any purpose, so long as:

• MBNA delivers an opinion of counsel acceptable to the master trust II trustee to the effect that such amendment will not adversely

affect in any material respect the interest of such certificateholders;

• such amendment will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any outstanding series under master trust II; and

• such amendment will not cause a significant change in the permitted activities of master trust II, as set forth in the master trust II

agreement.

The master trust II agreement and any related series supplement may be amended by MBNA, the servicer and the master trust II trustee,

without the consent of the certificateholders of any series then outstanding, to provide for additional enhancement or substitute enhancement

with respect to a series, to change the definition of Eligible Account or to provide for the addition to master trust II of a participation, so long

as:

• MBNA delivers to the master trust II trustee a certificate of an authorized officer to the effect that, in the reasonable belief of MBNA,

such amendment will not as of the date of such amendment adversely affect in any material respect the interest of such

certificateholders; and

• such amendment will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any outstanding series under master trust II.

The master trust II agreement and the related series supplement may be amended by MBNA, the servicer and the master trust II trustee

(a) with the consent of holders of

Table of Contents

certificates evidencing interests aggregating not less than 50% (or such other percentage specified in the related prospectus supplement) of the

Investor Interests for all series of master trust II, for the purpose of effectuating a significant change in the permitted activities of master trust II

which is not materially adverse to the certificateholders, and (b) in all other cases, with the consent of the holders of certificates evidencing

interests aggregating not less than 66

/3% (or such other percentage specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement) of the Investor

Interests for all series of master trust II, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any of the

provisions of the master trust II agreement or the related series supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of certificateholders of any

outstanding series of master trust II. No such amendment, however, may:

• reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions required to be made on the related series or any series;

• change the definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any certificateholder of such series or any certificateholder of any

other series issued by master trust II; or

• reduce the aforesaid percentage of interests the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,

in each case without the consent of all certificateholders of the related series and certificateholders of all series adversely affected.

In addition, subject to any other applicable conditions described above, the Series 2001-D supplement may be amended by MBNA

without the consent of the servicer, the master trust II trustee, the collateral certificateholder or any noteholder if MBNA provides the master

trust II trustee with (a) an opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment or modification would reduce the risk that master trust II would

be treated as taxable as a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (b) a

certificate that such amendment or modification would not materially and adversely affect any certificateholder, except that no such

amendment (i) shall be deemed effective without the master trust II trustee’s consent, if the master trust II trustee’s rights, duties and

obligations under the Series 2001-D supplement are thereby modified or (ii) shall cause a significant change in the permitted activities of

master trust II, as set forth in the master trust II agreement. Promptly after the effectiveness of any such amendment, MBNA shall deliver a

copy of such amendment to each of the servicer, the master trust II trustee and each rating agency described in the Series 2001-D supplement.

Promptly following the execution of any amendment to the master trust II agreement, the master trust II trustee will furnish written

notice of the substance of such amendment to each certificateholder. Any series supplement and any amendments regarding the addition or

removal of receivables from master trust II will not be considered an amendment requiring certificateholder consent under the provisions of the

master trust II agreement and any series supplement.

Table of Contents

Certificateholders Have Limited Control of Actions

Certificateholders of any series or class within a series may need the consent or approval of a specified percentage of the Investor

Interest of other series or a class of such other series to take or direct certain actions, including to require the appointment of a successor

servicer after a Servicer Default, to amend the master trust II agreement in some cases, and to direct a repurchase of all outstanding series after

certain violations of MBNA’s representations and warranties. The interests of the certificateholders of any such series may not coincide with

yours, making it more difficult for any particular certificateholder to achieve the desired results from such vote.

Material Legal Aspects of the Receivables

Transfer of the Receivables and the Collateral Certificate

MBNA will represent and warrant that its transfer of receivables to master trust II is either (1) an absolute sale of those receivables or

(2) the grant of a security interest in those receivables. For a description of master trust II’s rights if these representations and warranties are

not true, see “Master Trust II—Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus. In addition, MBNA will represent and warrant that its

transfer of the collateral certificate to the issuer is either (1) an absolute sale of the collateral certificate or (2) the grant of a security interest in

the collateral certificate.

MBNA will take steps under the UCC to perfect master trust II’s interest in the receivables and the issuer’s and the indenture trustee’s

interest in the collateral certificate. Nevertheless, if the UCC does not govern these transfers and if some other action is required under

applicable law and has not been taken, payments to you could be delayed or reduced.

MBNA will represent, warrant, and covenant that both its transfer of receivables to master trust II and its transfer of the collateral

certificate to the issuer is perfected and free and clear of the lien or interest of any other entity. If this is not true, master trust II’s interest in the

receivables and the issuer’s and the indenture trustee’s interest in the collateral certificate could be impaired, and payments to you could be

delayed or reduced. For instance,

• a prior or subsequent transferee of receivables could have an interest in the receivables superior to the interest of master trust II, or a

prior or subsequent transferee of the collateral certificate could have an interest in the collateral certificate superior to the interest of the

issuer and the indenture trustee;

• a tax, governmental, or other nonconsensual lien that attaches to the property of MBNA could have priority over the interest of master

trust II in the receivables and the interest of the issuer and the indenture trustee in the collateral certificate; and

• the administrative expenses of a conservator or receiver for MBNA could be paid from collections on the receivables or distributions

on the collateral certificate before master trust II, the issuer or the indenture trustee receives any payments.

Certain Matters Relating to Conservatorship or Receivership

MBNA is chartered as a national banking association and is regulated and supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,

which is authorized to appoint the Federal

Table of Contents

Deposit Insurance Corporation as conservator or receiver for MBNA if certain events occur relating to MBNA’s financial condition or the

propriety of its actions. In addition, the FDIC could appoint itself as conservator or receiver for MBNA.

Although MBNA will treat both its transfer of the receivables to master trust II and its transfer of the collateral certificate to the issuer as

sales for accounting purposes, each of these transfers may constitute the grant of a security interest under general applicable law. Nevertheless,

the FDIC has issued regulations surrendering certain rights under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions

Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, to reclaim, recover, or recharacterize a financial institution’s transfer of financial assets such

as the receivables and the collateral certificate if (i) the transfer involved a securitization of the financial assets and meets specified conditions

for treatment as a sale under relevant accounting principles, (ii) the financial institution received adequate consideration for the transfer, (iii)

the parties intended that the transfer constitute a sale for accounting purposes, and (iv) the financial assets were not transferred fraudulently, in

contemplation of the financial institution’s insolvency, or with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the financial institution or its creditors.

The master trust II agreement and MBNA’s transfer of the receivables, as well as the trust agreement and MBNA’s transfer of the collateral

certificate, are intended to satisfy all of these conditions.

If a condition required under the FDIC’s regulations were found not to have been met, however, the FDIC could reclaim, recover, or

recharacterize MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate. The FDIA would limit master trust II’s, the issuer’s or the

indenture trustee’s damages in this event to its “actual direct compensatory damages” determined as of the date that the FDIC was appointed as

conservator or receiver for MBNA. The FDIC, moreover, could delay its decision whether to reclaim, recover, or recharacterize MBNA’s

transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate for a reasonable period following its appointment as conservator or receiver for MBNA.

Therefore, if the FDIC were to reclaim, recover, or recharacterize MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate, payments to

you could be delayed or reduced.

Even if the conditions set forth in the regulations were satisfied and the FDIC did not reclaim, recover, or recharacterize MBNA’s

transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate, you could suffer a loss on your investment if (i) the master trust II agreement, the trust

agreement, or MBNA’s transfer of the receivables or the collateral certificate were found to violate the regulatory requirements of the FDIA,

(ii) master trust II, the master trust II trustee, the issuer, or the indenture trustee were required to comply with the claims process established

under the FDIA in order to collect payments on the receivables or the collateral certificate, (iii) the FDIC were to request a stay of any action

by master trust II, the master trust II trustee, the issuer, or the indenture trustee to enforce the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement,

the indenture, the collateral certificate, or the notes, or (iv) the FDIC were to repudiate other parts of the master trust II agreement or the trust

agreement, such as any obligation to collect payments on or otherwise service the receivables or to manage the issuer.

In addition, regardless of the terms of the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement, or the indenture, and regardless of the

instructions of those authorized to direct the master trust

Table of Contents

II trustee’s, the issuer’s or the indenture trustee’s actions, the FDIC as conservator or receiver for MBNA may have the power (i) to prevent or

require the commencement of a Rapid Amortization Period, (ii) to prevent, limit, or require the early liquidation of receivables or the collateral

certificate and termination of master trust II or the issuer, or (iii) to require, prohibit, or limit the continued transfer of receivables or payments

on the collateral certificate. Furthermore, regardless of the terms of the master trust II agreement or the trust agreement, the FDIC (i) could

prevent the appointment of a successor servicer or another manager for the issuer, (ii) could authorize MBNA to stop servicing the receivables

or managing the issuer, or (iii) could increase the amount or the priority of the servicing fee due to MBNA or otherwise alter the terms under

which MBNA services the receivables or manages the issuer. If any of these events were to occur, payments to you could be delayed or

reduced.

In addition, if insolvency proceedings were commenced by or against MBNA, or if certain time periods were to pass, master trust II, the

issuer and the indenture trustee may lose any perfected security interest in collections held by MBNA and commingled with its other funds.

See “Sources of Funds to Pay the Notes—The Collateral Certificate” and “Master Trust II—Application of Collections.”

Certain Regulatory Matters

The operations and financial condition of MBNA are subject to extensive regulation and supervision under federal and state law. The

appropriate banking regulatory authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation, have broad enforcement powers over MBNA. These enforcement powers may adversely affect the operation and financial

condition of master trust II and the issuer, and your rights under the master trust II agreement, the trust agreement and the indenture prior to the

appointment of a receiver or conservator.

Federal regulators have become more active in monitoring the specific business practices of financial institutions, including the credit

card industry. For example, in September 2004, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued an advisory letter describing several

credit card marketing and management practices that could expose banks to potential compliance and reputation risks, regulatory enforcement

and litigation. In the letter, the OCC alerted banks to fully and prominently disclose in promotional materials and credit agreements certain

credit card terms, such as the applicability and duration of promotional rates and the ability of banks to alter credit card terms and to change

pricing. In addition, in January 2003 under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the OCC, the Federal

Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued guidance governing account management practices for credit card

lending, including with respect to credit line management, overlimit practices, minimum payment requirements and workout and forbearance

practices. In issuing the guidance, the bank regulators were focused on addressing potential safety and soundness issues arising from the

account management practices. In response to this guidance, MBNA implemented strategies in 2004 to decrease the number of accounts that

have been overlimit for consecutive periods. Additionally, MBNA will increase the required monthly minimum payments for credit card

accounts during 2005. See “MBNA’s

Table of Contents

Credit Card Portfolio—Billing and Payments” in the related prospectus supplement for a discussion of the increases in the required monthly

minimum payments.

If federal bank regulatory authorities supervising any bank were to find that any obligation of such bank or an affiliate under a

securitization or other agreement, or any activity of such bank or affiliate, constituted an unsafe or unsound practice or violated any law, rule,

regulation or written condition or agreement applicable to the related bank, such federal bank regulatory authorities have the power under the

Federal Deposit Insurance Act to order such bank or affiliate, among other things, to rescind such agreement or contract, refuse to perform that

obligation, terminate the activity, amend the terms of such obligation or take such other action as such regulatory authorities determine to be

appropriate. In such an event, MBNA may not be liable to you for contractual damages for complying with such an order and you may have no

recourse against the relevant regulatory authority.

Recently, after the OCC found that a national bank was, contrary to safe and sound banking practices, receiving inadequate servicing

compensation under its securitization agreements, that bank agreed to a consent order with the OCC. Such consent order requires that bank,

among other things, to resign as servicer and to cease performing its duties as servicer within approximately 120 days, to immediately withhold

and segregate funds from collections for payment of its servicing fee (notwithstanding the priority of payments in the securitization agreements

and the perfected security interest of the relevant trust in those funds) and to increase its servicing fee percentage above that which was

originally agreed upon in its securitization agreements.

While MBNA has no reason to believe that any appropriate banking regulatory authority, including the OCC, would consider

provisions relating to MBNA acting as servicer or the payment or amount of a servicing fee to MBNA, or any other obligation of MBNA under

its securitization agreements, to be unsafe or unsound or violative of any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, there can be no assurance that

any such regulatory authority would not conclude otherwise in the future. If such a regulatory authority did reach such a conclusion, and

ordered MBNA to rescind or amend its securitization agreements, payments to you could be delayed or reduced.

Consumer Protection Laws

The relationships of the cardholder and credit card issuer and the lender are extensively regulated by federal and state consumer

protection laws. With respect to credit cards issued by MBNA, the most significant laws include the federal Truth-in-Lending, Equal Credit

Opportunity, Fair Credit Reporting, Fair Debt Collection Practice, Graham-Leach-Bliley and Electronic Funds Transfer Acts, and with respect

to members of the military on active duty, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. These statutes impose disclosure requirements when a credit

card account is advertised, when it is opened, at the end of monthly billing cycles, and at year end. In addition, these statutes limit customer

liability for unauthorized use, prohibit certain discriminatory practices in extending credit, impose certain limitations on the type of account-

related charges that may be assessed, and regulate the use of cardholder information.

Cardholders are entitled under these laws to have payments and credits applied to the credit card accounts promptly, to receive prescribed

notices and to require billing errors to be resolved promptly.

Master trust II may be liable for certain violations of consumer protection laws that apply to the receivables, either as assignee from

MBNA with respect to obligations arising before transfer of the receivables to master trust II or as a party directly responsible for obligations

arising after the transfer. In addition, a cardholder may be entitled to assert such violations by way of set-off against his obligation to pay the

amount of receivables owing. MBNA has represented and warranted in the master trust II agreement that all of the receivables have been and

will be created in compliance with the requirements of such laws. The servicer also agrees in the master trust II agreement to indemnify master

trust II, among other things, for any liability arising from such violations caused by the servicer. For a discussion of master trust II’s rights

arising from the breach of these warranties, see “Master Trust II—Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus.

Certain jurisdictions may attempt to require out-of-state credit card issuers to comply with such jurisdiction’s consumer protection laws

(including laws limiting the charges imposed by such credit card issuers) in connection with their operations in such jurisdictions. A successful

challenge by such a jurisdiction could have an adverse impact on MBNA’s credit card operations or the yield on the receivables in master

trust II.

If a cardholder sought protection under federal or state bankruptcy or debtor relief laws, a court could reduce or discharge completely

the cardholder’s obligations to repay amounts due on its account and, as a result, the related receivables would be written off as uncollectible.

The certificateholders could suffer a loss if no funds are available from credit enhancement or other sources. See “Master Trust II—Defaulted

Receivables; Rebates and Fraudulent Charges” in this prospectus.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

General

The following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and

disposition of the notes. Additional federal income tax considerations relevant to a particular tranche may be set forth in the accompanying

prospectus supplement. The following summary has been prepared and reviewed by Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP as special tax counsel

to the issuer (“Special Tax Counsel”). The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended as of the date hereof, and

existing final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, revenue rulings and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to prospective and

retroactive changes. The summary is addressed only to original purchasers of the notes, deals only with notes held as capital assets within the

meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code and, except as specifically set forth below, does not address tax consequences of

holding notes that may be relevant to investors in light of their own investment circumstances or their special tax

Table of Contents

situations, such as certain financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, life insurance companies, dealers in securities, non-U.S. persons, or

investors holding the notes as part of a conversion transaction, as part of a hedge or hedging transaction, or as a position in a straddle for tax

purposes. Further, this discussion does not address alternative minimum tax consequences or any tax consequences to holders of interests in a

noteholder. Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that the following summary of federal income tax consequences is correct in all material

respects. Noteholders should be aware that this summary and the opinions contained herein may not be able to be relied upon to avoid any

income tax penalties that may be imposed with respect to the notes. An opinion of Special Tax Counsel, however, is not binding on the Internal

Revenue Service or the courts, and no ruling on any of the issues discussed below will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover,

there are no authorities on similar transactions involving interests issued by an entity with terms similar to those of the notes described in this

prospectus. Accordingly, it is suggested that persons considering the purchase of notes should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the

United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes and the application of United States federal income tax laws, as

well as the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdictions, to their particular situations.

Tax Characterization of the Issuer and the Notes

Treatment of the Issuer and Master Trust II as Entities Not Subject to Tax

Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that, although no transaction closely comparable to that contemplated herein has been the subject

of any Treasury regulation, revenue ruling or judicial decision, each of the issuer and master trust II will not be classified as an association or as

a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that

each of the issuer and master trust II will not be subject to federal income tax. However, as discussed above, this opinion is not binding on the

Internal Revenue Service and no assurance can be given that this characterization will prevail.

The precise tax characterization of the issuer and master trust II for federal income tax purposes is not certain. They might be viewed as

merely holding assets on behalf of the beneficiary as collateral for notes issued by the beneficiary. On the other hand, they could be viewed as

one or more separate entities for tax purposes issuing the notes. This distinction, however, should not have a significant tax effect on

noteholders except as stated below under “—Possible Alternative Characterizations.”

Treatment of the Notes as Debt

Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that, although no transaction closely comparable to that contemplated herein has been the subject

of any Treasury regulation, revenue ruling or judicial decision, the notes will be characterized as debt for United States federal income tax

purposes. Additionally, the issuer will agree by entering into the indenture, and the noteholders will agree by their purchase and holding of

notes, to treat the notes as debt secured by the collateral certificate and other assets of the issuer for United States federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

Possible Alternative Characterizations

If, contrary to the opinion of Special Tax Counsel, the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserted that a series or class of notes did

not represent debt for United States federal income tax purposes, those notes might be treated as equity interests in the issuer, master trust II or

some other entity for such purposes. If so treated, investors could be treated either as partners in a partnership or, alternatively, as shareholders

in a taxable corporation for such purposes. If an investor were treated as a partner in a partnership, it would be taxed individually on its

respective share of the partnership’s income, gain, loss, deductions and credits attributable to the partnership’s ownership of the collateral

certificate and any other assets and liabilities of the partnership without regard to whether there were actual distributions of that income. As a

result, the amount, timing, character and source of items of income and deductions of an investor could differ if its notes were held to

constitute partnership interests rather than debt. Treatment of a noteholder as a partner could have adverse tax consequences to certain holders;

for example, absent an applicable exemption, income to foreign persons would be subject to United States tax and United States tax return

filing and withholding requirements, and individual holders might be subject to certain limitations on their ability to deduct their share of

partnership expenses. Alternatively, the Internal Revenue Service could contend that some or all of the notes, or separately some of the other

securities that the issuer and master trust II are permitted to issue (and which are permitted to constitute debt or equity for federal income tax

purposes), constitute equity in a partnership that should be classified as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income

tax purposes. Any such partnership would be classified as a publicly traded partnership and could be taxable as a corporation if its equity

interests were traded on an “established securities market,” or are “readily tradable” on a “secondary market” or its “substantial equivalent.”

The beneficiary intends to take measures designed to reduce the risk that either of the issuer or master trust II could be classified as a publicly

traded partnership; although the beneficiary expects that such measures will ultimately be successful, certain of the actions that may be

necessary for avoiding the treatment of such other securities as “readily tradable” on a “secondary market” or its “substantial equivalent” are

not fully within the control of the beneficiary. As a result, there can be no assurance that the measures the beneficiary intends to take will in all

circumstances be sufficient to prevent the issuer and master trust II from being classified as publicly traded partnerships. If the issuer or master

trust II were treated in whole or in part as one or more publicly traded partnerships taxable as a corporation, corporate tax imposed with respect

to such corporation could materially reduce cash available to make payments on the notes, and foreign investors could be subject to

withholding taxes. Additionally, no distributions from the corporation would be deductible in computing the taxable income of the corporation,

except to the extent that any notes or other securities were treated as debt of the corporation and distributions to the related noteholders or other

security holders were treated as payments of interest thereon. Further, distributions to noteholders not treated as holding debt would be

dividend income to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the corporation (possibly without the benefit of any

dividends received deduction). Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the consequences of possible

alternative characterizations to them in their particular circumstances; the following discussion assumes that the characterization of the

Table of Contents

notes as debt and the issuer and master trust II as entities not subject to federal income tax is correct.

Consequences to Holders of the Offered Notes

Interest and Original Issue Discount

Stated interest on a note will be includible in gross income as it accrues or is received in accordance with a noteholder’s usual method of

tax accounting. If a class of notes is issued with original issue discount, the provisions of Sections 1271 through 1273 and 1275 of the Internal

Revenue Code will apply to those notes. Under those provisions, a holder of such a note (including a cash basis holder) would be required to

include the original issue discount on a note in income for federal income tax purposes on a constant yield basis, resulting in the inclusion of

original issue discount in income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Subject to the discussion below, a note will be

treated as having original issue discount to the extent that its “stated redemption price” exceeds its “issue price,” if such excess equals or

exceeds 0.25 percent multiplied by the weighted average life of the note (determined by taking into account the number of complete years

following issuance until payment is made for each partial principal payment). Under Section 1272(a)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, special

provisions apply to debt instruments on which payments may be accelerated due to prepayments of other obligations securing those debt

instruments. However, no regulations have been issued interpreting those provisions, and the manner in which those provisions would apply to

the notes is unclear, but the application of Section 1272(a)(6) could affect the rate of accrual of original issue discount and could have other

consequences to holders of the notes. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service could take the position based on Treasury regulations that

none of the interest payable on a note is “unconditionally payable” and hence that all of such interest should be included in the note’s stated

redemption price at maturity. If sustained, such treatment should not significantly affect tax liabilities for most holders of the notes, but

prospective noteholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact to them in their particular circumstances. The issuer

intends to take the position that interest on the notes constitutes “qualified stated interest” and that the above consequences do not apply.

Market Discount

A holder of a note who purchases an interest in a note at a discount that exceeds any original issue discount not previously includible in

income may be subject to the “market discount” rules of Sections 1276 through 1278 of the Internal Revenue Code. These rules provide, in

part, that gain on the sale or other disposition of a note and partial principal payments on a note are treated as ordinary income to the extent of

accrued market discount. The market discount rules also provide for deferral of interest deductions with respect to debt incurred to purchase or

carry a note that has market discount.

100

Table of Contents

Market Premium

A holder of a note who purchases an interest in a note at a premium may elect to amortize the premium against interest income over the

remaining term of the note in accordance with the provisions of Section 171 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Disposition of the Notes

Subject to exceptions such as in the case of “wash sales,” upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a note, the holder of the note will

recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts

attributable to accrued interest) and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note generally will equal

the cost of the note to such holder, increased by any market or original issue discount previously included in income by such holder with

respect to the note, and decreased by the amount of any bond premium previously amortized and any payments of principal or original issue

discount previously received by such holder with respect to such note. Except to the extent of any accrued market discount not previously

included in income, any such gain treated as capital gain will be long-term capital gain if the note has been held for more than one year, and

any such loss will be a capital loss, subject to limitations on deductibility.

Foreign Holders

Under United States federal income tax law now in effect, subject to exceptions applicable to certain types of interest, payments of

interest by the issuer to a holder of a note who, as to the United States, is a nonresident alien individual or a foreign corporation (a “foreign

person”) will be considered “portfolio interest” and will not be subject to United States federal income tax and withholding tax provided the

interest is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the foreign person and the foreign

person (i) is not for United States federal income tax purposes (a) actually or constructively a “10 percent shareholder” of the beneficiary, the

issuer or master trust II, (b) a “controlled foreign corporation” with respect to which the beneficiary, the issuer or master trust II is a “related

person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, or (c) a bank extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the

ordinary course of its trade or business, and (ii) provides the person who is otherwise required to withhold United States tax with respect to the

notes with an appropriate statement (on IRS Form W-8BEN or a substitute form), signed under penalties of perjury, certifying that the

beneficial owner of the note is a foreign person and providing the foreign person’s name, address and certain additional information. If a note

is held through a securities clearing organization or certain other financial institutions (as is expected to be the case unless Definitive Notes are

issued), the organization or institution may provide the relevant signed statement to the withholding agent; in that case, however, the signed

statement must be accompanied by an IRS Form W-8BEN or substitute form provided by the foreign person that owns the note. Special rules

apply to partnerships, estates and trusts, and in certain circumstances certifications as to foreign status and other matters may be required to be

provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof. If such interest is not portfolio interest, then it will be subject to United States federal income

and withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless

101

Table of Contents

reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or such interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within

the United States and, in either case, the appropriate statement has been provided.

Any capital gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note by a foreign person will be exempt

from United States federal income tax and withholding tax, provided that (i) such gain is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade

or business in the United States by the foreign person, and (ii) in the case of an individual foreign person, such individual is not present in the

United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year.

The U.S. Treasury Department has recently issued final Treasury regulations which revise various procedural matters relating to

withholding taxes. Holders of notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the procedures whereby they may establish an exemption from

withholding.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments of principal and interest, as well as payments of proceeds from the sale, retirement or disposition of a note, may be subject to

“backup withholding” tax under Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code if a recipient of such payments fails to furnish to the payor certain

identifying information. Any amounts deducted and withheld would be allowed as a credit against such recipient’s United States federal

income tax, provided appropriate proof is provided under rules established by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, certain penalties

may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service on a recipient of payments that is required to supply information but that does not do so in the

proper manner. Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as corporations and

financial institutions. Information may also be required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service concerning payments, unless an

exemption applies. Holders of the notes should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding

and information reporting and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption.

The United States federal income tax discussion set forth above may not be applicable depending upon a holder’s particular tax

situation, and does not purport to address the issues described with the degree of specificity that would be provided by a taxpayer’s

own tax advisor. Accordingly, it is suggested that prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax

consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes and the possible effects of changes in federal tax laws.

State and Local Tax Consequences

The discussion above does not address the taxation of the issuer or the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of an

interest in the notes under any state or local tax law. It is suggested that each investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding state and

local tax consequences.

Benefit Plan Investors

Benefit plans are required to comply with restrictions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, known as ERISA,

and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, if they are subject to either or both sets of restrictions. The ERISA restrictions include rules

concerning prudence and diversification of the investment of assets of a benefit plan—referred to as “plan assets.” A benefit plan fiduciary

should consider whether an investment by the benefit plan in notes complies with these requirements.

In general, a benefit plan for these purposes includes:

• a plan or arrangement which provides deferred compensation or certain health or other welfare benefits to employees;

• an employee benefit plan that is tax-qualified under the Internal Revenue Code and provides deferred compensation to employees—

such as a pension, profit-sharing, section 401(k) or Keogh plan; and

• a collective investment fund or other entity if (a) the fund or entity has one or more benefit plan investors and (b) certain “look-

through” rules apply and treat the assets of the fund or entity as constituting plan assets of the benefit plan investor.

However, a plan maintained by a governmental employer is not a benefit plan for these purposes. Most plans maintained by religious

organizations and plans maintained by foreign employers for the benefit of employees employed outside the United States are also not benefit

plans for these purposes. A fund or other entity—including an insurance company general account—considering an investment in notes should

consult its tax advisors concerning whether its assets might be considered plan assets of benefit plan investors under these rules.

Prohibited Transactions

ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code also prohibit transactions of a specified type between a benefit plan and a party

in interest who is related in a specified manner to the benefit plan. Individual retirement accounts and tax-qualified plans that provide deferred

compensation to employees are also subject to these prohibited transaction rules unless they are maintained by a governmental employer or (in

most cases) a religious organization. Violation of these prohibited transaction rules may result in significant penalties. There are statutory

exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules, and the U.S. Department of Labor has granted administrative exemptions for specified

transactions.

Potential Prohibited Transactions from Investment in Notes

There are two categories of prohibited transactions that might arise from a benefit plan’s investment in notes. Fiduciaries of benefit

plans contemplating an investment in notes should carefully consider whether the investment would violate these rules.

103

Table of Contents

Prohibited Transactions between the Benefit Plan and a Party in Interest

The first category of prohibited transaction could arise on the grounds that the benefit plan, by purchasing notes, was engaged in a

prohibited transaction with a party in interest. A prohibited transaction could arise, for example, if the notes were viewed as debt of MBNA

and MBNA is a party in interest as to the benefit plan. A prohibited transaction could also arise if MBNA, the master trust II trustee, the

indenture trustee, the servicer or another party with an economic relationship to the issuer or master trust II either:

• is involved in the investment decision for the benefit plan to purchase notes or

• is otherwise a party in interest as to the benefit plan.

If a prohibited transaction might result from the benefit plan’s purchase of notes, an administrative exemption from the prohibited

transaction rules might be available to permit an investment in notes. The exemptions that are potentially available include the following

prohibited transaction class exemptions:

• 96-23, available to “in-house asset managers”;

• 95-60, available to insurance company general accounts;

• 91-38, available to bank collective investment funds;

• 90-1, available to insurance company pooled separate accounts; and

• 84-14, available to “qualified professional asset managers.”

However, even if the benefit plan is eligible for one of these exemptions, the exemption may not cover every aspect of the investment

by the benefit plan that might be a prohibited transaction.

Prohibited Transactions between the Issuer or Master Trust II and a Party in Interest

The second category of prohibited transactions could arise if:

• a benefit plan acquires notes, and

• under the “look-through” rules of the U.S. Department of Labor plan asset regulation, assets of the issuer are treated as if they were

plan assets of the benefit plan.

In this case, every transaction by the issuer would be treated as a transaction by the benefit plan using its plan assets.

If assets of the issuer are treated as plan assets of a benefit plan investor, a prohibited transaction could result if the issuer itself engages

in a transaction with a party in interest as to the benefit plan. For example, if the issuer’s assets are treated as assets of the benefit plan and

master trust II holds a credit card receivable that is an obligation of a participant in that same benefit plan, then there would be a prohibited

extension of credit between the benefit plan and a party in interest, the plan participant.

As a result, if assets of the issuer are treated as plan assets, there would be a significant risk of a prohibited transaction. Moreover, the

prohibited transaction class exemptions referred

104

Table of Contents

to above could not be relied on to exempt all the transactions of the issuer or master trust II from the prohibited transaction rules. In addition,

because all the assets of the issuer or master trust II would be treated as plan assets, managers of those assets might be required to comply with

the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA.

Under an exemption in the plan asset regulation, assets of the issuer would not be considered plan assets, and so this risk of prohibited

transactions should not arise, if a benefit plan purchases a note that:

• is treated as indebtedness under local law, and

• has no “substantial equity features.”

The issuer expects that all notes offered by this prospectus will be indebtedness under local law. Likewise, although there is no

authority directly on point, the issuer believes that the notes should not be considered to have substantial equity features. As a result, the plan

asset regulation should not apply to cause assets of the issuer to be treated as plan assets.

Investment by Benefit Plan Investors

For the reasons described in the preceding sections, and subject to the limitations referred to therein, benefit plans can purchase notes.

However, the benefit plan fiduciary must ultimately determine whether the requirements of the plan asset regulation are satisfied. More

generally, the fiduciary must determine whether the benefit plan’s investment in notes will result in one or more nonexempt prohibited

transactions or otherwise violate the provisions of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

Tax Consequences to Benefit Plans

In general, assuming the notes are debt for federal income tax purposes, interest income on notes would not be taxable to benefit plans

that are tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code, unless the notes were “debt-financed property” because of borrowings by the benefit

plan itself. However, if, contrary to the opinion of Special Tax Counsel, for federal income tax purposes, the notes are equity interests in a

partnership and the partnership or master trust II is viewed as having other outstanding debt, then all or part of the interest income on the notes

would be taxable to the benefit plan as “debt-financed income.” Benefit plans should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax

consequences of purchasing notes.

Tax Penalty Avoidance

The summary of ERISA considerations contained herein was written to support the promotion and marketing of the notes, and was not

intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by a taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding any U.S. federal tax penalties that may be

imposed. Each taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Plan of Distribution

The issuer may offer and sell the notes of a series in one or more of the following ways:

• directly to one or more purchasers;

105

Table of Contents

• through agents; or

• through underwriters.

Any underwriter or agent that offers the notes may be an affiliate of the issuer, and offers and sales of notes may include secondary

market transactions by affiliates of the issuer. These affiliates may act as principal or agent in secondary market transactions. Secondary market

transactions will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale.

The issuer will specify in a prospectus supplement the terms of each offering, which may include:

• the name or names of any underwriters or agents,

• the managing underwriters of any underwriting syndicate,

• the public offering or purchase price,

• the net proceeds to the issuer from the sale,

• any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation,

• any discounts and commissions allowed or paid to dealers,

• any commissions allowed or paid to agents, and

• the securities exchanges, if any, on which the notes will be listed.

Dealer trading may take place in some of the notes, including notes not listed on any securities exchange. Direct sales may be made on

a national securities exchange or otherwise. If the issuer, directly or through agents, solicits offers to purchase notes, the issuer reserves the sole

right to accept and, together with its agents, to reject in whole or in part any proposed purchase of notes.

The issuer may change any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. If

indicated in a prospectus supplement, the issuer will authorize underwriters or agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase

securities from the issuer pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date.

Any underwriter or agent participating in a distribution of securities, including notes offered by the issuer, may be deemed to be an

“underwriter” of those securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and any discounts or commissions received by it and any profit realized by it

on the sale or resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

MBNA and the issuer may agree to indemnify underwriters, agents and their controlling persons against certain civil liabilities,

including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with their participation in the distribution of the issuer’s notes.

Underwriters and agents participating in the distribution of the issuer’s notes, and their controlling persons, may engage in transactions

with and perform services for MBNA, the issuer or their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

trust II series of investor certificates on such date of determination. However, this Principal Investor Percentage will be adjusted for certain
