         calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer and shall

         shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other
         activities in connection with the Collateral (including the Related
         Agreements) as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and
         as are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and are reasonably
         within the capability of the Administrator.

                  (ii) The Administrator shall perform the duties of the
         Administrator specified in Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement required
         to be performed in connection with the resignation or removal of the
         Owner Trustee, and any other duties expressly required to be performed

         obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into
         transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates;
         provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings
         shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and
         shall be, in the Administrator's opinion, no less favorable to the
         Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

                  (iv) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
         Administrator shall, and the Administrator hereby agrees to, prepare,
         file and deliver on behalf of the Issuer all such documents, reports,
         filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty
         of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Related
         Agreements. In furtherance thereof, the Owner Trustee shall, on behalf
         of the Issuer, execute and deliver to the Administrator and its agents,
         and to each successor Administrator appointed pursuant to the terms
         hereof, one or more powers of attorney substantially in the form of
         Exhibit A hereto, appointing the Administrator the attorney-in-fact of
         the Issuer for the purpose of executing on behalf of the Issuer all
         such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and
         opinions.

                  (c) Non-Ministerial Matters.

                  (i) With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of
         the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take
         any action unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such
         action, the Administrator shall have notified the Transferor of the
         proposed action and the Transferor shall not have withheld consent or
         provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding
         sentence, "non-ministerial matters" shall include, without limitation:

                           (1) the amendment of or any supplement to the
                  Indenture;

                           (2) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the

                  Administrators, or the consent to the assignment by the
                  Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its

                           (5) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

shall prevent the Administrator or its affiliates from engaging in other
businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an
administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity
may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

                  Section 11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from
time to time, by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Issuer,
the Administrator and the Transferor, with the written consent of the Owner
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Owner, (i) to cure
any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be

written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Issuer, the Administrator
and the Transferor, with the written consent of the Owner Trustee, the holders

                                       9
<PAGE>   13

provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
Noteholders or the Owner; provided, however, that, without the consent of the
Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, no such amendment shall (a)
increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the
timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that are
required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the
aforesaid portion of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment.

                  Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent to each Rating Agency. Promptly after the execution of any
such amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders
pursuant to this Section 11 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof.

                  Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be
assigned by the Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to
in writing by the Issuer, the Transferor and the Owner Trustee and subject to
the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An
assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee,
shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is
bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned
by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer, the Transferor, the
Owner Trustee or the Rating Agencies to a corporation or other organization that
is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the
Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers
to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Owner Trustee an agreement in which such
corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of
said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of
the parties hereto.

inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect
the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.

                  Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall together constitute but one
and the same agreement.

                  Section 16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

                  Section 17. Not Applicable to Household Finance Corporation
in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation
Household Finance Corporation may have in any other capacity.

                  Section 18. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has
been signed by Wilmington Trust Company not in its individual capacity but
solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall
Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of
the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which
recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of
this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles IV, V, VI and VII of the Trust
Agreement.

                  Section 19. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Owner Trustee is a
third-party beneficiary to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and
benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party
hereto.

                  Section 20. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior
termination of this Agreement, the Administrator shall not at any time with
respect to the Issuer or the Transferor acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke
or cause the Issuer or the Transferor to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against
the Issuer or the Transferor under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar law or appointing a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or the
Transferor or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up
or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or the Transferor; provided,
however, that this Section 20 shall not operate to preclude any remedy described
in Article V of the Indenture.

                  Section 21. Successor Administrator. In the event of a
servicing transfer pursuant to Article V of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, the successor servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
shall, upon the date of such servicing transfer, become the successor
Administrator hereunder. "Administrator" shall mean initially Household Finance
Corporation and thereafter its permitted successor and assigns as provided in
Section 12 or any successor Administrator as provided in this Section 21.

and thereafter created in the Initial Accounts and existing as of the Additional

agrees that it will, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to (A) the Closing

been conveyed to HRAC in accordance with this Agreement and, as applicable, have

the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, (1) its account
number, (2) the aggregate amount outstanding in such Account and (3) the
aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account. Each such computer
file or microfiche list, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Additional
Accounts or Removed Accounts, shall be marked as SCHEDULE I to this Agreement,
shall be delivered to HRAC, or its designee, and is hereby incorporated into and
made a part of this Agreement. The Bank further agrees not to alter the code
referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any Account during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account becomes a Removed
Account.

                  (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of the
Bank's right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute
an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or rights of others from the Bank to HRAC and that the Purchased
Assets shall not be part of the Bank's estate in the event of the insolvency of
the Bank or a conservatorship, receivership or similar event with respect to the
Bank. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with
respect to the Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such
Purchased Assets and not a loan or a borrowing secured by such Purchased Assets.
In the event, however, that it were to be 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 Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Bank shall be deemed to have
granted and does hereby grant to HRAC a first priority perfected security
interest in all of the Bank's right, title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables and other Purchased Assets
to secure the obligations of the Bank hereunder.

                  (e) To the extent that the Bank retains any interest in the
Purchased Assets, the Bank hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders a security interest in all of the Bank's right,
title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under
the Receivables and other Purchased Assets that are intended to be pledged to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, the "TRUST
COLLATERAL"), to secure the performance of all of the obligations of the Bank
under this Agreement and any other agreement or document related to the Transfer
and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture. With respect to the Trust Collateral,
the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights that it has under the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture and all of the rights of a
secured creditor under the UCC.

         interest in the Receivables arising therein;

                      (iii) to the extent required of the Company by Section
         2.09(c) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Bank shall have
         deposited in the Collection Account (as such term is defined in the
         Indenture) all Collections with respect to such Aggregate Addition
         Accounts or Participation Interests since the Additional Cut-Off Date;

                      (iv) as of each of the Additional Cut-Off Date and the

         designated pursuant to the second sentence of subsection 2.02(a), the
         Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied;

                      (vi) the Bank shall have delivered to HRAC, or its
         designee, an Officer's Certificate, dated the Addition Date,
         confirming, to the extent applicable, the items set forth in clauses
         (i) through (v) above; and

                      (vii) the transfer of the Receivables arising in the
         Aggregate Addition Accounts or Participation Interests to HRAC will not
         result in an Adverse Effect and the

                                       7
<PAGE>   11

         Bank shall have delivered to HRAC, or its designee, an Officer's
         Certificate, dated the Addition Date, stating that the Bank reasonably
         believes that the addition of the Receivables arising in the Aggregate
         Addition Accounts or Participation Interests to HRAC will not have an
         Adverse Effect.

Bank, subject to compliance with the conditions specified in subsections 2.09(d)

the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and shall cooperate with the Company and
HRAC to enable the Company to perform with respect to the Receivables in such
New Accounts all actions specified in subsections 2.09(d) and (e) of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

                  (b) On the Addition Date with respect to any New Accounts,
HRAC shall purchase the Bank's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivables in New Accounts (and such New Accounts shall be deemed to be
Accounts for purposes of this Agreement) as of the close of business on the

                  Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties. The Bank hereby
represents and warrants to HRAC as of the related Addition Date as to the
matters set forth in subsections 2.02(b)(ii) and 2.03(b)(ii) above and that, in

designation of Additional Accounts, the Bank shall deliver to HRAC, or its
designee, (i) the computer file or microfiche list required to be delivered

such file or list is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 (the
"DOCUMENT DELIVERY DATE") and (ii) a duly executed, written assignment
(including an acceptance by HRAC), substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (the
"SUPPLEMENTAL CONVEYANCE"), on the Document Delivery Date. In addition, in the
case of the designation of New Accounts, the Bank shall deliver to HRAC, or its

                            CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

                  Section 3.01. Purchase Price.

                  (a) The "PURCHASE PRICE" for the Receivables in the Initial
Accounts and the related Purchased Assets conveyed to HRAC by the Bank under
this Agreement shall be payable on the Closing Date and shall be an amount equal
to 100% of the aggregate balance of Principal Receivables in those Accounts as
of the Closing Date, plus the present value of anticipated excess spread,
computed by taking into account factors such as historical losses, servicing
fees, delinquencies and paydown rates, yield and such other factors as the Bank
and HRAC mutually agree (and discounted to take into account any uncertainty as
to future performance matching historical performances), will result in a
Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such Purchased Assets.
This computation of initial purchase price shall assume no reinvestment in new
Receivables. The Purchase Price for the Receivables and the related Purchased
Assets (including Receivables and the related Purchased Assets in Additional
Accounts) to be conveyed to HRAC under this Agreement which come into existence
after the Closing Date, shall be payable on the Distribution Date following the
Due Period in which such Receivables and Purchased Assets are conveyed by the
Bank to HRAC in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the
Principal Receivables so conveyed (the "NEW PRINCIPAL RECEIVABLES"), plus the
present value of anticipated excess spread, computed by taking into account
factors such as historical losses, servicing fees, delinquencies, paydown rates
and yield and such other factors as the Bank and HRAC mutually agree (and
discounted to take into account any uncertainty as to future performance
matching historical performances).

                  (b) The Purchase Price to be paid by HRAC on the Closing Date
and on each Distribution Date following a Due Period during which New Principal
Receivables are conveyed to HRAC shall be paid in cash (including netting
against other payments).

<PAGE>   13

                  Section 3.02. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price shall be adjusted on each Distribution Date (a "CREDIT ADJUSTMENT") with
respect to any Receivable previously conveyed to HRAC by the Bank which has
since been reversed because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing
error to a cardholder because such Receivable was created in respect of
merchandise which was refused or returned by a cardholder. 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 for Principal
Receivables payable on such Distribution Date computed in accordance with
Section 3.01(a) divided by (ii) the Principal Receivables 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, the Bank agrees
that, not later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time on such Distribution Date, the
Bank shall pay to HRAC an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price
minus the Credit Adjustment would be reduced below zero.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                       12

and the Conveyance Papers by HRAC, the performance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Conveyance Papers, and the fulfillment of

trust or other instrument to which HRAC is a party or by which it or any of its

                  (d) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of

                                    COVENANTS

                  Section 5.01. Covenants of the Bank. The Bank hereby covenants
and agrees with HRAC as follows:

                                       14
<PAGE>   18

                  (a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes.
Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account, the Bank
will take no action to cause any Receivable to be evidenced by any instrument
(as defined in the UCC) and if any Receivable is so evidenced as a result of any
action by the Bank it shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Receivable in
accordance with Section 6.01(a) and shall be reassigned to the Bank in
accordance with Section 6.01(b)

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

                  (c) Account Allocations. In the event that the Bank is unable
for any reason to transfer Receivables to HRAC 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 order of any Governmental Authority),
then, in any such event, the Bank agrees (except as prohibited by any such
order) to allocate and pay to HRAC, after the date of such inability, all
amounts that HRAC will be required to allocate and pay to the Company pursuant
to Section 5.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement between HRAC and the
Company.

                  (d) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries. In the event that
the Bank receives Collections or Recoveries, the Bank agrees to pay to HRAC (or
to the Servicer if HRAC so directs) all such Collections and Recoveries as soon
as practicable after receipt thereof.

                  (e) Notice of Liens. The Bank shall notify HRAC promptly after
becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances
hereunder, under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and under the Indenture.

                  (f) Documentation of Transfer. The Bank shall undertake to
file the documents which would be necessary to perfect and maintain the transfer
of the Purchased Assets to HRAC.

                  (g) Periodic Rate Finance Charges. Except (A) as otherwise
required by any Requirements of Law or (B) as is deemed by the Bank or other
Account Owner, as the case may be, to be necessary in order for it to maintain
its credit business or a program operated by such credit business on a
competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by it of the nature of the
competition with respect to the credit business or such program, it shall not at
any time take any action which would have the effect of reducing the Series
Portfolio Yield to a level that could be reasonably expected to result in an
Adverse Effect with respect to any Series based on the insufficiency of the
Series Portfolio Yield or any similar test.

                  (h) Credit Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to compliance
with all Requirements of Law and paragraph (g) above, the Bank (or other Account
Owner if the Bank is not the Account Owner) or the Servicer may change the terms
and provisions of the applicable Credit Agreements or the applicable Credit
Guidelines of the Bank (or other Account Owner if the

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

Bank is not the Account Owner) or the Servicer in any respect (including the
calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the Periodic Rate
Finance Charges to be assessed thereon). Notwithstanding the above, unless
required by Requirements of Law or as permitted by paragraph (g) above, the Bank
(or other Account Owner if the Bank is not the Account Owner) or the Servicer
will not take any action unless (i) at the time of such action, the Bank (or
other Account Owner, as the case may be) or the Servicer, reasonably believes
that such action will not cause an Adverse Effect, and (ii) such change is made
applicable to the comparable segment of the revolving credit accounts owned by
the Bank (or other Account Owner, as the case may be) or serviced by the
Servicer which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to,
the Accounts that are the subject of such change, except as otherwise restricted
by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between the Bank or other
Account Owner, as the case may be, and an unrelated third party or by the terms
of the Credit Agreements.

                  (i) Approval and Official Records. The Bank shall cause this
Agreement to be duly approved by the Bank's Board of Directors, and the Bank
shall maintain this Agreement as a part of the official records of the Bank for
the term of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              REPURCHASE OBLIGATION

                  Section 6.01. Reassignment of Ineligible Receivables.

                  (a) In the event any representation or warranty under Section
4.02(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct in
any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any
Receivable or the related Account and as a result of such breach HRAC is
required to accept reassignment of Ineligible Receivables previously sold by the
Bank to HRAC pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement
between HRAC and the Company, the Bank shall accept reassignment of HRAC's
interest in such Ineligible Receivables on the terms and conditions set forth in
Section 6.01(b) of this Agreement.

                  (b) The Bank shall accept reassignment from HRAC of any

respect and as a result of such breach HRAC is required to accept a reassignment

transferred. HRAC shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or
assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Bank to effect the conveyance of such Receivables and other property pursuant to

                  WHEREAS, the Bank and HRAC are parties to an Receivables
Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2001 (hereinafter as such agreement may

Bank wishes to designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and the
Bank wishes to convey its right, title and interest in the Receivables of such
Additional Accounts, whether now existing or hereafter created, to HRAC pursuant

conveyance subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the Bank and HRAC hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have

                  3. Conveyance of Receivables.

                  (a) The Bank does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to HRAC, without recourse except as provided in the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, all its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivables generated by such Additional Accounts, existing at the close of
business on the Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created until termination
of the Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, all
Recoveries with respect to such Accounts, all monies due or to become due and
all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all "proceeds"
(including, without limitation, "proceeds" as defined in Article 9 of the UCC)
thereof.

                  (b) In connection with such sale, the Bank agrees to record
and file, at its own expense, one or more financing statements (and continuation
statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with
respect to the Receivables, existing on the Additional Cut-Off Date and
thereafter created, for the transfer of accounts and general intangibles meeting
the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such
jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment of and the

of such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to HRAC.

                  (c) In connection with such sale, the Bank further agrees, at

Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts designated hereby
have been conveyed to HRAC pursuant to this Supplemental Conveyance.

                  (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance described in
Section 3(a) constitute an absolute sale consistent with the intent expressed in
Section 2.01(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. In the event, however,
that notwithstanding such intent 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 Supplemental
Conveyance shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that
the Bank shall be deemed to have granted, and the Bank does hereby grant, to
HRAC a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Bank's right,
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under
all Receivables existing on the Additional Cut-Off Date in the Additional
Accounts and thereafter created from time to time until the termination of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, all Recoveries
with respect to such Accounts, all monies due or to become due and all amounts
received or receivable with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including,
without limitation, "proceeds" as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) thereof.

                  4. Acceptance by the HRAC. HRAC hereby acknowledges its
acceptance of all right, title and interest to the property, now existing and
hereafter created, conveyed to HRAC pursuant to Section 3 of this Supplemental
Conveyance, and declares that it shall maintain such right, title and interest.
HRAC further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution
and delivery of this Supplemental Conveyance, the Bank delivered to HRAC the

Conveyance.
