(ix) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in

(c) In connection with such Conveyance, Seller further agrees that

and complete list of all such Receivables specifying for each such Receivable,

such Receivable. Such computer files or microfiche lists shall be delivered to

shall constitute a sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens,
claims, encumbrances or rights of others from Seller to HARC and that the
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property shall not be part of Seller's estate in
the event of the insolvency of Seller or a conservatorship,

receivership or similar event with respect to Seller. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Receivables and
Other Conveyed Property shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Receivables
and not a loan. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction
were to hold that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan 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 Seller
shall be deemed to have granted to HARC a first priority perfected security
interest in all of such Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS OF SELLER

Section 4.1 SELLER'S COVENANTS. Seller hereby covenants and
agrees with HARC as follows:

(a) RECEIVABLES NOT TO BE EVIDENCED BY PROMISSORY NOTES. Seller
will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by any instrument
(as defined in the UCC).

(b) SECURITY INTERESTS. Except for the conveyances hereunder or
as otherwise provide herein, Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to
any other Person, or take any other action inconsistent with HARC's ownership of
the Receivables or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on
any Receivable, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest
therein, and Seller shall not claim any ownership interest in the Receivables
and shall defend the right, title and interest of HARC in and to the
Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under Seller.

(c) SECURITY'S INTEREST. Except for the conveyances hereunder and
in connection with any transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.6, Seller

ARTICLE V

REPURCHASES

Section 5.1 REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY.
Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach
which is the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all
material respects, repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer
by the last day of the first full calendar month following the discovery of
such breach by the Seller or receipt by the Seller of notice of such breach
from any of the Master Servicer, HARC, a Trust Officer of the Trustee or the
Owner Trustee and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable,
Seller shall deposit the Repurchase Amount in full, without deduction or
offset, in the Master Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the
Master Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, except
as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of Seller to repurchase
any Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, shall, if
such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Seller for
such breach available to HARC, the Issuer, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders, the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The provisions of this Section 5.1
are intended to grant the Trustee or the Issuer a direct right against Seller
to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Seller waives
any requirement of prior demand against HARC with respect to such repurchase
obligation. Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner specified in
Section 3.2 of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement or the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement
to the contrary, the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not
terminate upon a termination of Household Finance Corporation as Master
Servicer under the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed
in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Master
Servicer or HARC to perform any of their respective obligations with respect
to such Recivable under the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 5.2 REASSIGNMENT OF REPURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Upon
deposit in the Master Collection Account of the Repurchase Amount of any
Receivable repurchased by Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, HARC and the
Issuer shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by Seller in
order to assign to Seller all of HARC's and the Issuer's

right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all security and
documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to HARC and the Issuer
directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except
as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a
result of actions of HARC or the Issuer. Such assignment shall be a sale and
assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of a
Repurchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held
that Seller may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it shall not
be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, HARC
and the Issuer shall, at the expense of Seller, take such steps as Seller deems
reasonably necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in
HARC's or in the Issuer's name.

Section 5.3 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of HARC,
or the Issuer as assignee of HARC, in exercising any power, right or remedy
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

ARTICLE VI

Conveyance Paper shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms shall be deemed severable from

of the Noteholders, as contemplated by the Master Sale and Servicing
Agreement and Section 6.6 hereof, the Receivables, the Other Conveyed
