          Section 2.01. Purchase. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and by execution from time to time of certain assignments substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Supplemental Conveyance”) supplementing this Agreement, HRAC II hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to MRI (collectively, the “Conveyance”), without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables of the Accounts existing on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Additional Cut-Off Date with respect to Additional Accounts and thereafter created from time to time until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof, all Interchange and Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (the “Purchased Assets”). The Receivables existing in Accounts on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Additional Cut-Off Date with respect to Additional Accounts and thereafter arising in such Accounts on or prior to such dates, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by HRAC II and purchased by MRI on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Addition Date with respect to Additional Accounts. Receivables arising after such dates in such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by HRAC II and purchased by MRI on the date such Receivables arise.

     (b) In connection with each Conveyance of Receivables arising under Accounts, HRAC II agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Receivables and other Purchased Assets from HRAC II to MRI, and to deliver such documents to MRI as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts, and as soon as practicable after the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Receivables arising in Additional Accounts, (ii) to cause such financing statements and amendments to name HRAC II, as seller, and MRI, as purchaser, of such Receivables and other Purchased Assets and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filings to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if MRI so directs) as soon as is practicable after filing.

     (c) In connection with each Conveyance of Receivables arising under Accounts, HRAC II further agrees that it will, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to the Closing Date or the respective Addition Date, as applicable, indicate in its computer files and microfiche lists that Receivables created in connection with such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to MRI in accordance with this Agreement and the Supplemental Conveyance and (ii) on or prior to the date that is five Business Days after the Closing Date or the respective Addition Date, as applicable, deliver to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if MRI so directs) a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts specifying for each such Account, as of the Closing Date or the Additional Cut-Off Date, as applicable, (A) its account number, (B) the aggregate amount outstanding in such Account and (C) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account (the “Account Schedule”).

Such computer files and microfiche lists, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Accounts and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement, shall be delivered to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if so directed by MRI), shall be marked as proprietary and confidential, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. An updated Account Schedule reflecting Automatic Additional Accounts shall be delivered quarterly by HRAC II to MRI no later than one month following the end of each fiscal quarter.

     (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of HRAC II’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and any Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any Liens from HRAC II to MRI and that the Purchased Assets shall not be part of HRAC II’s estate in the event of the insolvency of HRAC II or a bankruptcy or similar event with respect to HRAC II. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and any Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan or borrowing secured by such Purchased Assets, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent it were determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan or borrowing and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that HRAC II shall be deemed to have granted, and HRAC II does hereby grant, to MRI a first priority perfected security interest in all of HRAC II’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables and other Purchased Assets.

          Section 2.02. Addition of Accounts.

     (a) (i) If, from time to time, MRI (A) becomes obligated to designate Supplemental Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (B) elects to designate Supplemental Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then, in either case, MRI may, at its option, give HRAC II written notice thereof on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Addition Date therefor, and upon receipt of such notice HRAC II shall on or before the Addition Date, designate sufficient Eligible Accounts to be included as Supplemental Accounts as requested by MRI.

          (ii) Additionally, HRAC II may, with the consent of MRI, designate newly originated Eligible Accounts to be included as Automatic Additional Accounts.

     (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any designation of Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts, as the case may be, such Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts shall become Accounts, and MRI shall purchase HRAC II’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in such Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts, as the case may be, and the related property, as provided in Section 2.01, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions on such Addition Date:

          (i) HRAC II shall have delivered to MRI copies of UCC financing statements covering such Additional Accounts, if necessary to perfect MRI’s interest in the Receivables arising therein and the related property;

          (ii) on each of the Addition Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date, the sale of the Receivables arising in such Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts, as

the case may be, and the related property, to MRI shall not have caused HRAC II’s insolvency or have been made in contemplation of HRAC II’s insolvency;

          (iii) no selection procedure was utilized by HRAC II that would result in a selection of such Additional Accounts (from the Eligible Accounts available to HRAC II) that would be materially adverse to the interests of MRI as of the Addition Date;

          (iv) HRAC II shall have indicated in its accounting, computer and other records that Receivables created in connection with such Automatic Additional Accounts or Supplemental Accounts, as the case may be, and the related property, have been sold to MRI and shall have delivered to MRI the required Account Schedule;

          (v) HRAC II and MRI shall have entered into a duly executed, written assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Conveyance”); and

          (vi) HRAC II shall have delivered to MRI an Officer’s Certificate of HRAC II, dated the Addition Date, confirming, to the extent applicable, the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above.

          (vii) Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.6(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have been satisfied.

          Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties. HRAC II hereby represents and warrants to MRI on the related Addition Date as to the matters set forth in Section 2.02(b)(i) above that, in the case of Additional Accounts, the computer file or microfiche list delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(iv) is, as of the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date for Supplemental Accounts and in the case of Automatic Additional Accounts, the date thereof, true and complete in all material respects.

          Section 2.04. Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

     (a) If an Account becomes a Removed Account, HRAC II shall stop selling to MRI Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Account effective on the Business Day (the “Stop Date”) after the date such Account becomes a Removed Account. Notwithstanding the cessation of the sale to MRI of additional Principal Receivables arising in such Removed Account, Principal Receivables sold to MRI prior to the Stop Date, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables whenever created that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, and Collections in respect of such Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables, shall continue to be property of MRI available for transfer by MRI. To the extent that it is not clear to HRAC II whether collections relate to a Principal Receivable that was sold to MRI or to a principal receivable that HRAC II did not sell to MRI, HRAC II shall allocate payments on each such Removed Account with respect to the principal balance of such Removed Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Removed Account.

     (b) On and after the Stop Date for a Removed Account, HRAC II may ▇▇▇▇ its books and records to indicate that such Account is a Removed Account, but HRAC II shall not (i) alter the indication referenced in the first sentence of subsection 2.01(c) with respect to such Removed

Account unless and until such Account becomes a Deleted Account or HRAC II has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of MRI in the Receivables and other property to continue to be perfected and of first priority, or (ii) delete such Removed Account from Schedule 1 hereto or any Account Schedule.

     (c) Once a Removed Account becomes a Deleted Account, unless such Deleted Account is a Zero Balance Account, HRAC II shall promptly delete such Deleted Account from Schedule 1 hereto (by delivering a schedule of Deleted Accounts or otherwise) and shall indicate in its accounting, computer and other files that such Deleted Account is no longer an Account.

(a) The “Purchase Price” for the Receivables in Accounts existing on the Closing Date or the related Additional Cut-Off Date, and the related Purchased Assets, that are conveyed to MRI under this Agreement and the related Supplemental Conveyance and which came into existence after the Closing Date or the related Additional Cut-Off Date shall be payable in cash on the Closing Date or the Addition Date, as applicable, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate balance of the Principal Receivables, and such of the Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables as constitute fees and charges relating to debt cancellation, debt waiver and other enhancement and insurance programs administered by the Credit Card Originator, so conveyed, plus (ii) the present value of anticipated excess spread, including Interchange, computed by taking into account factors such as historical losses (and discounted to take into account any uncertainty as to future performance matching historical performance), servicing fees, delinquencies, payment rates and yield, such sum adjusted to reflect any other factors as HRAC II and MRI mutually may agree will result in a Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets. This computation of initial Purchase Price shall assume no reinvestment in new Receivables. The Purchase Price for the Receivables in Accounts which come into existence after the Closing Date or the related Additional Cut-Off Date, as applicable, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be payable on a date (the “Purchase Price Payment Date”) mutually agreed to by HRAC II and MRI (but no later than the Distribution Date following the Monthly Period in which such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets are conveyed by HRAC II to MRI) in cash in an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, HRAC II shall not be obligated to continue to sell Receivables or other Purchased Assets to MRI to the extent that HRAC II is not paid the Purchase Price therefor as provided herein.

          Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted on each Purchase Price Payment Date (a “Credit Adjustment”) with respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to MRI by HRAC II which has since been reversed by HRAC II or the Servicer because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to an Obligor or because such Receivable was created in respect of merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor, but in each case other than by reason of Servicer error. The amount of such adjustment shall equal (x) the reduction in the principal balance of such Receivable resulting from the occurrence of such event multiplied by (y) the quotient (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the Purchase Price payable on such Purchase Price Payment Date computed in accordance with Section 3.01(a) divided by (ii) the amount of Principal Receivables, and such of the Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables as constitute fees and charges relating to debt cancellation, debt waiver and other insurance and enhancement programs administered by the Credit Card Originator, paid for on such date pursuant to such Section. In the event that an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.02 causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, HRAC II agrees that, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such Purchase Price Payment Date, HRAC II shall pay or cause to be paid to MRI an amount equal to the amount by which the Credit Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price.

COVENANTS

          Section 5.01. Covenants of HRAC II. HRAC II hereby covenants and agrees with MRI as follows:

     (a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Instruments. HRAC II will take no action to cause any Receivable (or any underlying receivable) to be evidenced by any instrument or chattel paper (as defined in the UCC), except in connection with the enforcement or collection undertaken with regard to the related Account. In the event of a breach of this Section 5.01(a), such Receivable shall be reassigned to HRAC II in accordance with Section 6.01(b).

     (b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder or as otherwise provided herein, HRAC II will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or take any other action inconsistent with MRI’s ownership of, the Purchased Assets or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (arising through or under HRAC II) on any Purchased Asset or any underlying receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and HRAC II shall not claim any ownership interest in any Purchased Asset and shall defend the right, title and interest of MRI in, to and under the Purchased Assets, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under HRAC II.

     (c) Account Allocations. In the event that HRAC II is unable for any reason to sell Receivables to MRI in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 8.02 or any Governmental Authority having regulatory authority over HRAC II or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that HRAC II not sell any additional Principal Receivables to MRI), then, in any such event, HRAC II agrees (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to MRI, after the date of such inability, all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables previously sold to MRI. To the extent that it is not clear to HRAC II whether collections relate to a Principal Receivable that was sold to MRI or to a principal receivable that HRAC II is unable to sell to MRI, HRAC II agrees that it shall allocate payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account. Notwithstanding any cessation of the sale to MRI of additional Principal Receivables, Principal Receivables sold to MRI prior to the occurrence of the event giving rise to such inability, Collections in respect of such Principal Receivables, Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables whenever created that accrue in respect of such Principal Receivables, and Collections in respect of such Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables, shall continue to be property of MRI available for transfer by MRI to the Trust.

     (d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that HRAC II receives Collections in respect of the Purchased Assets sold to MRI hereunder, HRAC II agrees to pay to MRI (or to the Servicer if MRI so directs) all such Collections as soon as practicable after receipt thereof.

     (e) Notice of Liens. HRAC II shall notify MRI promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Purchased Asset other than the conveyances hereunder

     (f) Enforcement of Agreements. HRAC II hereby covenants that HRAC II will at all times enforce the covenants and agreements of HSBC Bank under the Bank Purchase Agreement

(or, with respect to a Credit Card Originator other than HSBC Bank, in a similar agreement between such Credit Card Originator and HRAC II), including those relating to periodic rate finance charges, credit agreements, and credit guidelines related to the Accounts.

     (g) Interchange. Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Distribution Date, HRAC II shall pay to or at the direction of MRI, in immediately available funds, any amount of Interchange allocable to the Receivables which is received by HRAC II.

     (h) Documentation of Transfer. HRAC II shall file the documents which would be necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the sale of the Purchased Assets to MRI.

     (i) Approval of Office Records. HRAC II shall cause this Agreement and all Conveyance Papers to be duly approved by HRAC II’s Board of Directors, and HRAC II shall maintain this Agreement and all Conveyance Papers as a part of the official records of HRAC II for the term of the Agreement.

     (j) Name and Type and Jurisdiction of Organization. HRAC II shall not change its name or its type of organization or jurisdiction of organization without taking all actions and making all filings as are necessary to continue and maintain the first-priority perfected ownership interest of MRI in the Purchased Assets.

(As required by Section 2.02 of
the Receivables Purchase Agreement)

     SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE No.     , dated as of          , by and between HOUSEHOLD RECEIVABLES ACQUISITION COMPANY II, as Seller (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “HRAC II”), and METRIS RECEIVABLES, INC. (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “MRI”), pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement referred to below.

WITNESSETH :

     WHEREAS, HRAC II and MRI are parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2005 (hereinafter as such agreement may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, HRAC II wishes to designate Additional Accounts and to sell the Receivables of such Additional Accounts, whether existing on the Additional Cut-Off Date or thereafter created, to MRI pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, MRI is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

     NOW THEREFORE, HRAC II and MRI hereby agree as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Receivables Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

     “Addition Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts,                     ,.

     “Additional Accounts” shall have the meaning specified in Section 2.

     “Additional Cut-Off Date” shall mean, with respect to the Additional Accounts [the close of business on],                     .

     “Additional Purchased Assets” shall have the meaning specified in Section 3(a)

     2. Designation of Additional Accounts. Within five Business Days of the Addition Date, HRAC II shall deliver a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete schedule identifying all Additional Accounts designated hereby (the “Additional Accounts”) and specifying for each such Additional Account, as of the Additional Cut-Off Date, (a) its account number, (b) the aggregate amount outstanding in such Additional Account and (c) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Additional Account. On the date of this

Supplemental Conveyance, such computer file or microfiche list shall be incorporated into and made part of this Supplemental Conveyance and the Receivables Purchase Agreement and is marked as Schedule 1 to this Supplemental Conveyance and shall supplement Schedule 1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

     3. Conveyance of Receivables.

     (a) HRAC II does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to MRI, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables of the Additional Accounts existing on the Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created from time to time until the termination of the Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, all Interchange and Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (the “Additional Purchased Assets”).

     (b) In connection with such sale and if necessary, HRAC II agrees to record and file, at its own expense, one or more financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale of the Additional Purchased Assets to MRI, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filing to MRI.

     (c) In connection with such sale, HRAC II further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the date of this Supplemental Conveyance, to indicate in the appropriate computer files and microfiche lists that all Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts and the related Additional Purchased Assets have been sold to MRI pursuant to this Supplemental Conveyance.

     (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of the Additional Purchased Assets described in Section 3(a) constitute an absolute sale consistent with the intent expressed in Section 2.01(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Additional Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Additional Purchased Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent it were determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that HRAC II shall be deemed to have granted, and HRAC II does hereby grant, to MRI a first priority perfected security interest in all of HRAC II’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Additional Purchased Assets to secure the obligations of HRAC II hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Additional Purchased Assets, now existing and hereafter created, conveyed to MRI pursuant to Section 3 of this Supplemental Conveyance. MRI further agrees to enforce HRAC II’s covenant to deliver to MRI (and to the Applicable Transferees if MRI has so directed) the computer file or microfiche list described in Section 2 of this Supplemental Conveyance within five Business Days of the Addition Date.
