Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to
the Series 1997-1 Participants) determined on the basis of the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and a 360-day year.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Additional Interest

Series 1997-1 Servicing Fee (but only with respect to the then
current Servicer) shall be paid to the Servicer.

treated as a portion of Available Investor Principal

(iv) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
the Series 1997-1 Participation Interest Charge-Offs which
have not been previously reimbursed shall be treated as a
portion of Available Investor Principal Collections with

(v) so long as HFC is the Servicer under the
Agreement, an amount equal to the Series 1997-1 Servicing Fee
for such date (to the extent such amount has not been netted
from deposits to cover losses in the related Due Period) plus
any previously unpaid Series 1997-1 Servicing Fee (but only
with respect to the then current Servicer) shall be paid to
the Servicer; and
(vi) the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller
with respect to the HCLC Seller Participation Interest and the
Designated HCLC Seller Participation Interest, pro rata.
Section 4.12. Investor Charge-Offs. (a) If on any
Distribution Date, the amount to be distributed on the Series 1997-1
Participation Interest pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iii) exceeds the
amount of Investor Finance Charge and Administrative Collections for
the related Due Period (net of any portion thereof to be paid pursuant
to Section 4.11(a)(i) and (ii)), then the Series 1997-1 Participation
Interest Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess
("Series 1997-1 Participation Interest Charge-Offs"), but not more

or desirable; provided, however, that no such modification shall serve to
exclude information required by this Section 6. The Servicer shall, upon

Upon the delivery of such Officer's Certificate to the Deposit Trustee, Exhibit

of holders of interest in the Deposit Trust for a period of 60 days after
written notice; provided, however, that an Amortization Event shall not be
deemed to occur if the Seller has repurchased the related Receivables, during

account, that is subject to ERISA or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of
a plan's investment in such entity (each a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and
holding a Series 1997-1 Participation Interest, a Series 1997-1 Participant
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan
and is not purchasing a Series 1997-1 Participation Interest on behalf of a
Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in a Book-Entry Certificate

No transfer of a Series 1997-1 Participation Interest shall be made
unless a Tax Opinion is delivered and such transfer is exempt from the

laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Deposit Trustee or the Seller
may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel)
acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Deposit
Trustee and the Seller that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption,
describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and
laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Deposit Trustee or the Seller and (ii) the
Deposit Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter
(in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and the Deposit
Trustee certifying to the Seller and the Deposit Trustee the facts surrounding
such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Deposit
Trustee or the Seller. A Series 1997-1 Participant desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to indemnify the Deposit Trustee and the
Seller against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(the "Buyer").
1. In connection with such transfer and in accordance with the
agreements pursuant to which the Rule 144A Securities were issued, the Seller
hereby certifies the following facts: Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on
its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the
Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other
similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge
or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A
Securities or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or
negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule
144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner,
or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution
of the Rule 144A Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), or that would render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a
violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant
thereto, and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any
person other than the Buyer or another "qualified institutional buyer" as
defined in Rule 144A under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.
2. The Buyer warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the

Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of September 1, 1995 among Household
Consumer Loan Corporation, as Seller and as Holder of the Designated
Certificate, and Texas Commerce Bank National Association, the successor to The

c. The Buyer has been furnished with all information
regarding the Rule 144A Securities that it has requested from the
Seller and the Deposit Trustee or the Servicer.
d. Neither the Buyer nor anyone acting on its behalf has

from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule
144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other
similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general
solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner,
or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the
Rule 144A Securities under the 1933 Act or that would render the
disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of
the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it
act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in
such manner with respect to the Rule 144A Securities.
e. The Buyer is a "qualified institutional buyer" as
that term is defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and has completed
either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as
Annex 1 or Annex 2. The Buyer is aware that the sale to it is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A. The Buyer is acquiring the Rule 144A

is (A) not an employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), or a
plan (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of

Rule 144A Securities on

behalf of, as investment manager of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or
with "plan assets" of a Plan, or (2) the Buyer understands that registration of
transfer of any Rule 144A Securities to any Plan, or to any Person acting on
behalf of any Plan, will not be made unless such Plan delivers an opinion of
its counsel, addressed and satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Seller, to the effect that the purchase and holding of the Rule 144A Securities
by, on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan would not constitute or
result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, and would not subject the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer to any obligation or liability (including liabilities
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement or any other liability.]
4. The Buyer has otherwise complied with any conditions for
transfer set forth in the Trust Agreement, and (h), either (i) is a "C
Corporation" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) has
provided such disclosure concerning our status for federal income tax purposes
and the status and economic interest of our beneficial owners, as the Issuer or
its representatives have reasonably requested to determine that the Buyer's
acquisition of the Certificates will not subject the Issuer to an entity level
tax.
5. This document may be executed in one or more counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when
so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together,
shall constitute one and the same document.
