The Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Series 2001-1 Securities, shall establish and maintain an account (the "Series 2001-1 Collection Account") as a segregated trust account in the Indenture Trustee's corporate trust department, identified as the "Collection Account for Household Automotive Trust 2001-1, in trust for the registered Holders of the Series 2001-1 Securities." The Indenture Trustee shall make or permit withdrawals from the Series 2001-1 Collection Account only as provided in this Series 2001-1 Supplement. Notwithstanding anything in the Series 2001-1 Related Documents to the contrary, at least one Business Day prior to each Distribution Date the Master Servicer and the Issuer shall deposit Collected Funds (which shall be immediately available) directly into the Series 2001-1 Collection Account without any prior deposit into the Master Collection Account.

The Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Series 2001-1 Notes shall establish and maintain an account (the "Series 2001-1 Reserve Account") as a segregated trust account in the Indenture Trustee's corporate trust department, identified as the "Series 2001-1 Reserve Account for Household Automotive Trust 2001-1, in trust for the registered Holders of the Series 2001-1 Notes." The Indenture Trustee shall make or permit withdrawals from the Reserve Account only as provided in this Series 2001-1 Supplement. On the Series 2001-1 Closing Date, the Series 2001-1 Reserve Account will be funded with the Initial Reserve Account Deposit.

In the event that any Series 2001-1 Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, within five Business Days, shall establish a new Eligible Deposit Account. No withdrawals may be made of funds in any Series 2001-1 Trust Account except as provided in this Series 2001-1 Supplement. Except as specifically provided in this Series 2001-1 Supplement, funds in the Series 2001-1 Trust Accounts shall not be commingled with any other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in each of the Series 2001-1 Trust Accounts shall be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee in Series 2001-1 Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Master Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise) which, absent any instruction shall be the investments specified in clause (d) of the definition of Eligible Investment. The provisions of Section 5.1 of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement shall apply to the investment of funds in the Series 2001-1 Trust Accounts to the same extent as they apply to the Master Collection Account.

Reserve Account.

On the earlier of (x) the maturity date of the Series 2001-1 Notes (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or (y) the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and distributed in accordance with Section 4.04.

Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall (based solely on the information contained in the Master Servicer's Certificate delivered with respect to such Distribution Date) distribute the following amounts from Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date, and in the following order of priority:

to the Master Servicer, if HFC is no longer acting as Master Servicer, the Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period;

to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid trustees' fees and any unreimbursed costs and expenses (including, if the Indenture Trustee is the successor Master Servicer, reasonable transition expenses in an amount not to exceed $100,000) (in each case, to the extent such fees have not been previously paid by the Master Servicer);

to the Class A Noteholders, the Class A Interest Distributable Amount;

(a) to the Class A-1 Noteholders, 100% of the Class A Principal Distributable Amount until the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes has been reduced to zero; and (b) on and after the Distribution Date on which the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes has been reduced to zero, the Class A Principal Distributable Amount will be allocated to payment of the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes, in "sequential pay" fashion, beginning with the Class A-2 Notes, in each case, until the respective outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes are paid in full;

to the Reserve Account, the Reserve Account Deposit Amount, if any, required to increase the amount therein to the Targeted Reserve Account Balance;

if HFC is acting as the Master Servicer, the Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period (unless the Master Servicer has retained such amount in accordance with Section 4.8 of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement) or if the Indenture Trustee is the successor Master Servicer, reasonable transition expenses in excess of the amounts paid in priority (ii) above; and

to the holders of the Series 2001-1 Certificates, any remaining Available Funds.

If on a Distribution Date, the Master Servicer's Certificate delivered with respect to such Distribution Date indicates that the amount specified in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date is less than the sum of the amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) above on such Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Series 2001-1 Reserve Account an amount up to the amount of such deficiency and distribute such amount as a component of Available Funds.

Each Series 2001-1 Certificateholder by its acceptance of its Certificate will be deemed to have consented to the provisions of paragraph (a) above relating to the priority of distributions, and will be further deemed to have acknowledged that no property rights in any amount or the proceeds of any such amount shall vest in such Certificateholder until such amounts have been distributed to such Certificateholder pursuant to such provisions; provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict the right of any Certificateholder, upon compliance with the provisions hereof, from seeking to compel the performance of the provisions hereof by the parties hereto. Each Series 2001-1 Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Certificate, further specifically acknowledges that it has no right to or interest in any monies at any time held in the Series 2001-1 Reserve Account, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the Series 2001-1 Noteholders.

Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account on any Distribution Date (after giving effect to all distributions made on such Distribution Date and the related Distribution Date) in excess of the Targeted Reserve Account Balance for such Distribution Date shall be released first, to the Master Servicer for any Servicing Fees then due, and any remainder to the Seller.

In the event that the Series 2001-1 Collection Account is maintained with an institution other than the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer shall instruct and cause such institution to transfer the amounts to be withdrawn therefrom in accordance with Section 3.03(b) to the Indenture Trustee for distribution pursuant to Section 3.03(a) one Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date.

Unless Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the related Record Date in the name of a nominee of the Clearing Agency, payment will be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such nominee, without presentation or surrender of the Series 2001-1 Notes or the making of any notation thereon.

If not theretofore paid in full, all amounts outstanding with respect to the Class A-1 Notes shall be due and payable on the Class A-1 Scheduled Maturity Date, if not theretofore paid in full, all amounts outstanding with respect to the Class A-2 Notes shall be due and payable on the Class A-2 Scheduled Maturity Date, if not theretofore paid in full, all amounts outstanding with respect to the Class A-3 Notes shall be due and payable on the Class A-3 Scheduled Maturity Date, and if not theretofore paid in full, all amounts outstanding with respect to the Class A-4 Notes shall be due and payable on the Class A-4 Scheduled Maturity Date.

Statements to Noteholders.

On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) for the Indenture Trustee to forward to each Noteholder of record, and to each Certificateholder of record, a statement setting forth at least the following information as to the Notes to the extent applicable:

the amount of such distribution allocable to principal of each Class of Notes;

the amount of such distribution allocable to interest on or with respect to each Class of Notes;

the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Class of the Notes after giving effect to payments allocated to principal reported under (i) above;

the Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, the Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall, if any, and the change in such amounts from the preceding statement.

the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the Master Servicer with respect to such Collection Period; and

the Targeted Reserve Account Balance and the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at the end of such Distribution Date.

Each amount set forth pursuant to paragraph (i) through (iv) above shall be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000 of the initial principal balance of the applicable Class of Notes.

Reporting Requirements.

The Master Servicer's Certificate shall be in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

By January 31 of each calendar year, commencing January 31, 2002, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall prepare and distribute to the Indenture Trustee a statement containing such information as is required to be provided by an issuer of indebtedness under the Code and such other customary information as is necessary to enable the Noteholders to prepare their tax returns.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 30 days after such knowledge or notice occurs.

Compliance With Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Series 2001-1 Supplement or the Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee, shall comply with all Federal withholding requirements respecting payments (or advances thereof) to the Noteholders as may be applicable to instruments constituting indebtedness for Federal income tax purposes. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the applicable Noteholders for all purposes of the Indenture. In no event shall the consent of any Noteholder be required for any such withholding.

Special Covenants and Acknowledgements.

With respect to the Series 2001-1 Notes, the Issuer hereby represents and warrants, as of the Series 2001-1 Closing Date:

Valid Pledge. It is the intention of the Issuer that each pledge herein contemplated constitutes the Grant of a perfected, first priority security interest in all Pledged Property to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2001-1 Noteholders.

Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements required hereunder, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Series 2001-1 Supplement, the Indenture, and each Series 2001-1 Related Document to which it is a party.

Tax Characterization.

It is the intent of the parties hereto that, for all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes, the Series 2001-1 Notes will be evidence of indebtedness. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto, and each owner of a beneficial interest in the Series 2001-1 Notes by acceptance of such interest, agrees to treat the Series 2001-1 Notes for purposes of all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes as indebtedness secured by the Series 2001-1 Trust Estate.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Events of Default.

"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

default in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five calendar days; or

default in the payment of the outstanding principal balance of any Class of Notes on the related Scheduled Maturity Date, which default shall continue for a period of five calendar days; or

the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any substantial part of the Trust Property in an involuntary case under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer's affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Property, or the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

Rights Upon Event of Default.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee in its discretion may, or if so requested in writing by Holders holding Notes representing at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, declare by written notice to the Issuer that the Notes have become due and payable, whereupon they shall become, immediately due and payable at 100% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, and accrued interest thereon (together with interest accrued at the relevant Note Rate on such overdue interest).

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.9 of the Indenture.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Remedies.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to Section 11.17 of the Indenture, may exercise any of the remedies specified in Article V of the Indenture and, in addition, may do one or more of the following.

institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under the Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture with respect to the Trust Property;

exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

sell the Trust Property or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property following an Event of Default unless:

(x) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or

(y) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Property will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or

(z) the Indenture Trustee has not determined that the Trust Property will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the principal of and interest on the Notes and the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are not sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (y) and (z), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Property for such purpose.

Priorities.

On and after the maturity date of the Series 2001-1 Notes (by acceleration or otherwise) all Available Funds, all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02 and any proceeds of the liquidation of all or any portion of the Series 2001-1 Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.03(iv), shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee on the date of distribution in the following order of priority:

amounts due and owing and required to be distributed to the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) of Section 3.03(a) hereof and not previously distributed, in the order of such priorities and without preference or priority of any kind within such priorities;

to Class A Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for interest, pro rata, in accordance with the amounts due and payable on the Class A Notes on the date of distribution for interest without preference or priority of any kind;

to the Class A Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for principal, pro rata, in accordance with the respective aggregate outstanding principal balance of each Class of Class A Notes without preference or priority of any kind;

to the Servicer for any Servicing Fees then due;

to the Series 2001-1 Certificateholders, any remaining Available Funds.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and distribution date for any payment to Series 2001-1 Noteholders pursuant to this Section 4.04. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders a notice that states the record date, the Distribution Date and the amount to be paid.

PREPAYMENT AND REDEMPTION

Optional "Clean-Up" Redemption.

On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the date upon which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes shall have been reduced to an amount which is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Classes of Notes as of the Series 2001-1 Closing Date, the Master Servicer and the Seller on behalf of the Issuer, shall each have the option to redeem the outstanding Series 2001-1 Notes at a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") which is not less than the then Aggregate Note Principal Balance, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Master Servicer (if other than HFC) under the Series 2001-1 Related Documents. The Master Servicer and the Seller, on behalf of the Issuer, shall give the Master Servicer (if other than HFC), the Indenture Trustee, and the Owner Trustee at least 10 days' irrevocable prior written notice of the date on which the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable intends to exercise such option to purchase. Not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day prior to such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account in immediately available funds for distribution pursuant to Section 3.03 against the presentment of the Notes for cancellation.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of an amendment to this Series 2001-1 Supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

The Issuer hereby designates the Master Servicer its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Indenture, provided that, such designation shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Trustee to monitor the compliance of the Master Servicer with respect to its duties under Section 3.5 of the Indenture or the adequacy of any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument prepared by the Master Servicer.

The Issuer hereby appoints the Master Servicer to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under the Series 2001-1 Related Documents, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.13 and 3.9 of the Indenture, and the Master Servicer hereby accepts such appointment.
