(1E)Subsection (1) does not apply to a debtor-creditor agreement arising where the holder of a current account overdraws on the account without a pre-arranged overdraft or exceeds a pre-arranged overdraft limit.]
(2)Where an agreement (a “modifying agreement ”) varies or supplements an earlier agreement, the modifying agreement shall for the purposes of this Act be treated as—
(a)revoking the earlier agreement, and
(b)containing provisions reproducing the combined effect of the two agreements,

(a)for running account credit; or
(b)an exempt agreement F7... ,
it shall be treated as a regulated agreement.] .
(4)If the earlier agreement is a regulated agreement for running-account credit, and by the modifying agreement the creditor allows the credit limit to be exceeded but intends the excess to be merely temporary, Part V (except section 56) shall not apply to the modifying agreement.
(5)If—
(a)the earlier agreement is a cancellable agreement, and
(b)the modifying agreement is made within the period applicable under section 68 to the earlier agreement,
then, whether or not the modifying agreement would, apart from this subsection, be a cancellable agreement, it shall be treated as a cancellable agreement in respect of which a notice may be served under section 68 not later than the end of the period applicable under that section to the earlier agreement.
[F8(5A)Subsection (5) does not apply where the modifying agreement is an exempt agreement F9... .]

(a)the earlier agreement is an agreement to which section 66A (right of withdrawal) applies, and
(b)the modifying agreement is made within the period during which the debtor may give notice of withdrawal from the earlier agreement (see section 66A(2)),
then, whether or not the modifying agreement would, apart from this subsection, be an agreement to which section 66A applies, it shall be treated as such an agreement in respect of which notice may be given under subsection (2) of that section within the period referred to in paragraph (b) above.
