(vii) all items contained in the Receivables Files with respect to such Receivables and any and all other documents that Seller or Master Servicer keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures relating to the related Receivables, or the related Financed Vehicles or Obligor;

(viii) all property (including the right to receive future Net Liquidation Proceeds) that secures each related Receivable and that has been acquired by or on behalf of HARC pursuant to the liquidation of such Receivable; and

(ix) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing.

(c) In connection with each Conveyance, Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense, on or prior to the related Purchase Date (i) indicate in its computer files or microfiche lists that the related Receivables have been conveyed to HARC in accordance with this Agreement and the related Receivables Purchase Agreement Supplement, and have been conveyed by HARC to the related Indenture Trustee pursuant to the related Master Sale and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the related Secured Parties by including in such computer files and microfiche lists the code identifying each such Receivable and (ii) deliver to HARC (or to the related Indenture Trustee if HARC so directs) a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Receivables specifying for each such Receivable, as of the Cutoff Date (A) its account number and (B) the outstanding balance of such Receivable.

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.

COVENANTS OF SELLER

(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 and Other Conveyed Property or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable or any Other Conveyed Property, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and Seller shall not claim any ownership interest in the Receivables or any Other Conveyed Property and shall defend the right, title and interest of HARC in and to the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller.

8 (c) Security’s Interest. Except for the conveyances hereunder and in connection with any transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.6, Seller hereby agrees not to transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise convey or pledge, hypothecate or otherwise grant a security interest in the Receivables or any Other Conveyed Property and any such attempted transfer, assignment, exchange, conveyance, pledge, hypothecation or grant shall be void.

(d) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries.

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 related Issuer under the related Master Sale and Servicing Agreement by the last day of the first full calendar month following the discovery of such breach by Seller or receipt by Seller of notice of such breach from any of the Master Servicer, HARC, a Trust Officer of the related Indenture Trustee or the related Owner Trustee and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, Seller shall deposit the Repurchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the related 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 related Issuer, the related Secured Parties, the related Certificateholders, the related Indenture Trustee on behalf of the related Noteholders or the related Owner Trustee on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the related Indenture Trustee or the related 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 related Master Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the related 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 related 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 Receivable under the related Master Sale and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Repurchased Receivables. Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Repurchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, HARC and the related Issuer shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to assign to Seller all of HARC’s and the related 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 related 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 related 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 related 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 related Issuer’s name.

SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of HARC, or the related 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.

Additionally, Seller agrees for the benefit of such Indenture Trustee that any amounts payable by Seller to HARC hereunder which are to be paid by HARC to such Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the related Secured Parties shall be paid by Seller, on behalf of HARC, directly to such Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
