WHEREAS, the Sellers and HSBC Home Equity Loan Corporation II (the “Depositor”) are parties to that certain Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sellers have agreed, from time to time, to sell, and the Depositor has agreed, from time to time, to purchase, among other things, the outstanding principal balances and related proceeds under certain “Home Equity Loans” evidenced by certain “Mortgage Files” (each as defined in the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement) of the Sellers;

WHEREAS, the Depositor, as Depositor, HSBC Finance Corporation, as Servicer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrator, and the Trustee are parties to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, has agreed, from time to time, to purchase from the Depositor the assets purchased by the Depositor under the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement and certain other assets;

WHEREAS, the Sellers will benefit directly from the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in that the payments of the purchase price for the Home Equity Loans purchased from time to time under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will provide the Depositor with certain of the funds it needs to satisfy its purchase obligations under the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Trustee’s entering into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, has required that the Sellers enter into this Agreement to convey, from time to time, all of the Sellers’ remaining right, title and interest in the applicable Home Equity Loans, comprising the Mortgage Files and Related Documents (together the “Transferred Assets”) to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals hereto and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Sellers and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1. Definitions. (a) “Agreement” shall mean this Transfer Agreement and all amendments and other modifications hereof and supplements hereto. All other capitalized terms used herein or in any certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto, and not defined herein or therein, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b) The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; and Section, Subsection, Schedule and Exhibit references contained in this Agreement shall refer to Sections, Subsections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(c) All determinations of the principal balance or finance charges of Home Equity Loans, and of any collections thereof, shall be made in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE II

TRANSFERS OF RELATED DOCUMENTS

Section 2.1. Transfers to Trustee. In consideration of the Trustee’s execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Seller severally, and not jointly, does hereby (i) on each Transfer Date, sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, without recourse and subject only to the concurrent transfer of the outstanding balances and other assets with respect to related Home Equity Loans sold to the Depositor pursuant to the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement, all of its remaining right, title, and interest in, to and under such Home Equity Loans, including without limitation all agreements, instruments and other documents evidencing or governing the Mortgagors’ obligations under the Home Equity Loans or otherwise related thereto or establishing or setting forth the terms and conditions thereof, and any amendments or modifications thereto, and all property and collateral securing the Mortgagors’ obligations thereunder, and upon such conveyance the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall have full rights to enforce and receive all benefits under the applicable Related Documents as owner thereof to the same extent as such Seller had prior to such conveyance (the foregoing assets collectively being the “Transferred Assets” with respect to the related Home Equity Loans), and (ii) agree that on the applicable Transfer Date it will, subject to the availability thereof, sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, without recourse and subject to the prior transfer of any Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan to the Depositor pursuant to the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement, all of its remaining aspects, right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets relating to such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, and upon such conveyance the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall have full rights to enforce and receive all benefits under the applicable Related Documents as owner thereof to the same extent as such Seller had prior to such conveyance. The parties hereto intend that each transfer of the Transferred Assets set forth above constitute a true sale or absolute transfer thereof and each such transfer is intended to be absolute and irrevocable and to provide the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, with the full benefits of ownership of such Transferred Assets. In the event the transactions set forth herein are characterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as a pledge or a secured financing rather than a sale, each Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and hereby does grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure all of such Seller’s obligations hereunder. For purposes of each such transfer, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. With respect to the Transferred Assets sold by each Seller to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and without limiting the requirements set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, the Seller shall (and the Servicer shall cause such Seller to) file as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days following the Closing Date, in the appropriate public filing office or offices UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements describing such Transferred Assets and naming such Seller as the debtor and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as secured party, file appropriate continuation statements thereto, file amendments thereto in the case of a name change or change in corporate structure, and file appropriate additional UCC financing statements, if any, if such Seller changes its jurisdiction of organization.

Section 2.2. Possession of Related Documents. In connection with the foregoing conveyance of the Transferred Assets, each Seller and the Trustee agree that the related Seller shall retain possession of the applicable Mortgage Files and other Related Documents, as custodian for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders so long as (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt of HSBC Finance Corporation is assigned ratings of at least “BBB” by Fitch, “Baa3” by Moody’s and “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s (or such lower rating acceptable and assigned by Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch) and (ii) such Seller remains an Affiliate of HSBC Finance. At such time as either of the conditions specified in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 90 days thereafter in the case of clause (i) below and 60 days in the case of clause (ii) below, each Seller shall (i) either (x) record an Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust (which may be a blanket assignment if permitted by applicable law), with respect to each of the Home Equity Loans being serviced by such Seller in the appropriate real property or other records or (y) deliver to the Trustee the assignment of such Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in form for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that recording is not required to protect the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the related Home Equity Loans or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in the related Home Equity Loans, which Opinion of Counsel also shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies and the Trustee (each of which as evidenced in writing), and (ii) unless an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies and the Trustee (each of which as evidenced in writing) is delivered to the Trustee to the effect that delivery of the Mortgage Files is not necessary to protect the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the related Home Equity Loans or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in the related Home Equity Loans that will be prior to all other present and future claims in the related Home Equity Loans, deliver the related Mortgage Files to the Trustee to be held by the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Each Seller hereby agrees that in the event that the Depositor is required to repurchase a Home Equity Loan from the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Seller is required to repurchase a Home Equity Loan from the Depositor pursuant to the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Seller will purchase the corresponding Related Documents from the Trustee to the extent required by and pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.3. UCC Financing Statements. In conjunction with the conveyance described in Section 2.1, each Seller agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statement (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Transferred Assets that the Trustee may reasonably request, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the conveyances described herein from such Seller to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, that may be perfected in such manner, (ii) such financing statement shall name the appropriate Seller, as seller, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as purchaser, of the Related Documents and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings (excluding such continuation statements, which shall be delivered as filed) to the Trustee promptly upon becoming available after the Closing Date.

Section 2.4. Absolute Transfer. The parties hereto intend that each conveyance of each Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets shall constitute an absolute transfer, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others (other than the Conveyance pursuant to the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement) from such Seller to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and that the Transferred Assets shall not be part of the applicable Seller’s estate in the event of the insolvency of such Seller or a conservatorship, receivership or similar event with respect thereto.

Conveyance Papers, and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Conveyance Papers applicable to it will not violate any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to it or any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.

(e) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Conveyance Papers and the fulfillment of the terms contemplated herein and therein applicable to it will materially comply with currently existing applicable laws.

(g) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of any court or other governmental authority required to be obtained by it in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Conveyance Papers and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Conveyance Papers have been obtained.
