               remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Contributor under
               or in connection with such agreement (whether arising pursuant to
               such agreement or otherwise available to the Contributor at law

               of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) (including
               Collections).

          Such property described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii)
shall be referred to collectively herein as the "Receivable Assets" and shall be
                                                 -----------------
considered to be assets that have been contributed, transferred, assigned, set
over and otherwise conveyed by the Contributor to the Company immediately upon
completion of the purchase of any Receivables referred to in Section 2.01(a)
(ii) above, in accordance with the terms of any Origination Agreement, and in
relation to those Receivables referred to in Section 2.01(a)(i) above, upon
delivery to the Company of a Daily Report substantially in the form set forth in
Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

               (b)  The Contributor and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree
that it is their mutual intent that (a) every transfer by way of capital
contribution of Receivable Assets to the Company hereunder shall be an absolute,
unconditional, "true" conveyance and not a mere granting of a security interest
to secure a loan to or from the Company, (b) the Contributor shall not retain
any interest in the Receivable Assets after the contribution thereof hereunder,
(c) the Receivables originated, or purchased from an Originator, by the
Contributor shall not be part of the Contributor's insolvency or bankruptcy
estate in the event an insolvency or delinquency proceeding or a bankruptcy
petition or other action shall be commenced or filed by or against the
Contributor under any insolvency or bankruptcy law and (d) the Receivables
originated by any Originator shall not be part of such Originator's insolvency
or bankruptcy estate in the event an insolvency or delinquency proceeding or a
bankruptcy or other action shall be commenced or filed by or against such
Originator under any insolvency or bankruptcy law.  In the event, however, that
notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed by any
relevant Governmental Authority for any reason whatsoever, whether for limited
purposes or otherwise, to be a security interest granted to secure

                                       4
<PAGE>

indebtedness of the Contributor, the Contributor shall be deemed to have granted
to the Company a perfected first priority security interest under Article 9 of
the UCC in the applicable jurisdiction in all of its right, title and interest
in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter
acquired or arising, and wherever located, the Receivables originated or
purchased by the Contributor and the other Receivable Assets related to such
Receivables and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law, securing the repayment of the amounts paid hereunder, subject to
the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, together with such other
obligations or interests as may arise hereunder in favor of the parties hereto.

               (c)  In connection with any transfer, assignment, conveyance and
contribution pursuant to subsection 2.01(a), the Contributor hereby agrees to
                         ------------------
record and file, or cause to be recorded and filed, at its own expense,
financing statements or other similar filings (and continuation statements with
respect to such financing statements or other similar filings when applicable),
(i) with respect to the Receivables and (ii) with respect to any other
Receivable Assets for which an assignment or the creation of a security interest
(as defined in the applicable UCC or other similar applicable laws, legislation
or statute) may be perfected under the applicable UCC or other applicable laws,
legislation or statute by such filing, in each case meeting the requirements of
applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to
perfect and maintain the perfection of the transfer, assignment, conveyance and
contribution of such Receivables and any other Receivable Assets related to such
Receivables to the Company, and to deliver to the Company (a) on or prior to the
Initial Contribution Date (but after the Execution Date) a photocopy, certified
by a Responsible Officer of the Contributor to be a true and correct copy, of
each such financing statement or other filing to be made on or prior to the
Initial Contribution Date and (b) within ten (10) days after the Initial
Contribution Date a file-stamped copy or certified statement of such financing
statement (or the similar filing) or other evidence of such filing.

               (d)  In connection with the transfer, assignment, conveyance and
contribution pursuant to subsection 2.01(a), the Contributor agrees at its own
                         ------------------
expense, with respect to the Receivables, that it will or will cause, as agent
of the Company, (A) (i) on the Initial Contribution Date and thereafter, direct
(or cause the Master Servicer to direct) each Originator to identify on its
extraction records relating to Receivables from its master database of
receivables, that the Receivables and all other Receivable Assets related
thereto have been transferred, assigned, conveyed and contributed to the Company
in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) acknowledge, deliver or transmit or
cause to be delivered or transmitted to the Master Servicer a Daily Report
containing at least the information specified in Schedule 1 hereto as to all
such Receivables, as of the applicable date of contribution and (B) use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Originator of the Receivables
purchased by the Contributor to (i) on the Initial Contribution Date and
thereafter to identify on its extraction records relating to Receivables from
its master database of receivables, that all such Receivables and all other
Receivable Assets related thereto have been transferred, assigned, conveyed and
contributed to the Company in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) (except in
the

                                       5
<PAGE>

case of the UK Originators) acknowledge, deliver or transmit or cause to be
delivered or transmitted to the Master Servicer, as agent of HICI, an Originator
Daily Report containing at least the information specified in Schedule 1 hereto
as to all such Receivables, as of the applicable date of contribution;
notwithstanding anything expressed to the contrary either in this Section
2.01(d) or in any other provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction
Document, the UK Originator Daily Report delivered to the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 2.01 of the UK Receivables Purchase Agreement and
Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement, shall not be delivered to the Company
or the Trustee by either the Contributor or any UK Originator or any other
person.  The copy of the Daily Report delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this
subsection 2.01(d) shall be signed by the Master Servicer.  For the avoidance of
doubt, the delivery of the signed Daily Report to the Trustee shall not be a
prerequisite to the contribution, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Receivables from the Contributor to the Company.

               (e)  All contributions of Receivables by the Contributor
hereunder shall be without recourse to, or any representation or warranty of any
kind (express or implied) by, the Contributor except as otherwise specifically
provided herein. The foregoing contribution, assignment, transfer and conveyance
does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption
by the Company of any obligation of the Contributor or any other person in
connection with the Receivables or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
including any obligation to any Obligor.

     2.02 Contribution Value.  The contribution value (the "Contribution Value")

subsection 2.01(a) hereof shall be deemed to be the product of (a) the aggregate
------------------
outstanding Principal Amount of such Receivables as set forth in the applicable
Originator Daily Report identifying such Receivables and (b) one (1) minus the

have any right or obligation under this Agreement, by implication or otherwise,
to repurchase from the Company any Receivables or other Receivable Assets

interpreted to limit the right of the Company to receive a Contributor Dilution
Adjustment Payment, a Contributor Adjustment Payment or a Contributor
Indemnification Payment.

     2.05 Rebates, Adjustments, Returns, Reductions and Modifications. From time
          -----------------------------------------------------------
to time the Contributor may make a Dilution Adjustment to a Receivable in
accordance with this Section 2.05 and Section 6.02; provided that if the
                     ------------     ------------  --------
Contributor or any Originator cancels an invoice related to such Receivable,
either (i) such invoice must be replaced, or caused to be replaced, by the
Contributor with an invoice relating to the same transaction of equal or greater
Principal Amount on the same Business Day that such cancellation was made, (ii)
such invoice must be replaced, or caused to be replaced, by the Contributor with
an invoice relating to the same transaction of a lesser Principal Amount on the
same Business Day that such cancellation was made and the Contributor must make
a Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payment, to the Company Concentration Account,
in an amount equal to the difference between such cancelled and replacement
invoices or (iii) the Contributor must make a Contributor  Dilution Adjustment
Payment, to the relevant Company Receipts Account in an amount equal to the full
value of such cancelled invoice pursuant to this Section 2.05.  To the extent
                                                 ------------
that the Receivable under this Section 2.05 is generated by any Originator other
                               ------------
than the Contributor, the Contributor shall request payment from such Originator
of the Dilution Adjustment amount with respect to such Receivable and shall pay
the amount received in respect thereof to the Company. The Contributor agrees to
pay to the Company, on the Contribution Date immediately succeeding the date any
Dilution Adjustment is granted or made pursuant hereto, the amount of any such
Dilution Adjustment (a "Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payment"); provided,
                        ---------------------------------------
however, that if the Company elects to reduce its Exchangeable Company Interest
in the Trust as a result of such Dilution Adjustment, then the Company shall
debit from the Company's distributable assets ledger an amount equal to such
Dilution Adjustment in lieu of such cash payment. The amount of any Dilution
Adjustment shall be set forth on the first Daily Report prepared after the date
on which such Dilution Adjustment was granted or made.

     2.06 Payments in Respect of Ineligible Receivables and Originator
          ------------------------------------------------------------
Indemnification Payments.

               (a)  Adjustment Payment Obligation.  In the event of a breach of
                    -----------------------------
any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.02(a),
                                                       ----------------
4.02(b), 4.02(c), 4.02(d) or 4.02(f) in respect of any Receivable contributed
-------  -------  -------    -------
hereunder or if the Company's interest in any Receivable is not a full legal and
beneficial ownership, the Contributor shall, within 30 days of the earlier of
its knowledge or receipt of written notice of such breach or defect from the
Company, remedy the matter giving rise to such breach of representation or
warranty if such matter is capable of being remedied. If such matter is not
capable of being remedied or is not so remedied within said period of 30 days,
the Contributor upon request of the Company shall repurchase the relevant
Receivable from the Company at a repurchase price (without duplication of any
Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payments made pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof),
                                                          ------------
equal to the original Principal Amount of such Receivable less Collections
received by the

Company in respect of such Receivable (the "Contributor Adjustment Payment"),
                                            ------------------------------
which payment shall be in the same currency as such Receivable. Upon the payment
of a Contributor Adjustment Payment hereunder, the Company shall automatically
agree to pay to the Contributor all Collections received subsequent to such
repurchase with respect to such repurchased Receivable. The parties agree that
if there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties of a
Contributor contained in Section 4.02(a), 4.02(b) or 4.02(c) in respect of or
                         ---------------  -------    -------
concerning any Receivable, the Contributor's obligation to pay the Contributor
Adjustment Payment under this Section 2.06 is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss
                              ------------
and not a penalty (and neither the Company nor any other person or entity having
an interest in this Agreement through the Company shall be entitled to any other
remedies as a consequence of any such breach).

               (b)  Special Indemnification.  In addition to its obligations
                    -----------------------
under Section 8.02 hereunder, the Contributor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold
      ------------
harmless (without duplication of any Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payments
made pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) the Company from any loss, liability,
                 ------------
expense, damage or injury which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Company in any way relating to or arising out of (i) any
Receivable becoming subject to any defense, dispute, offset or counterclaim of
any kind (other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Pooling
Agreement or any Supplement) or (ii) the Contributor breaching any covenant
contained herein with respect to any Receivable (each of the foregoing events or
circumstances being an "Contributor Indemnification Event"), and such Receivable
                        ---------------------------------
(or a portion thereof) ceasing to be an Eligible Receivable on the date on which
such Contributor Indemnification Event occurs.  The amount of such
indemnification shall be equal to the original Principal Amount of such
Receivable less Collections received by the Company in respect of such
Receivable (the "Contributor Indemnification Payment").  Such payment shall be
                 -----------------------------------
made on or prior to the 10th Business Day after the day the Company requests
such payment or the Contributor obtains knowledge thereof unless such
Contributor Indemnification Event shall have been cured on or before such 10th
Business Day; provided, however, that in the event that (x) an Originator
              --------  -------
Termination Event with respect to the Contributor has occurred and is continuing
or (y) the Company shall be required to make a payment with respect to such
Receivable pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Pooling Agreement and the Company has
                       ------------
insufficient funds to make such a payment, the Contributor shall make such
payment immediately. The Company shall have no further remedy against the
Contributor in respect of such a Contributor Indemnification Event unless the
Contributor fails to make a Contributor Indemnification Payment on or prior to
such 10th Business Day or on such earlier day in accordance with the proviso set
forth in this subsection 2.06(b).  Upon receiving a Contributor Indemnification
              ------------------
Payment, the Company shall automatically agree to pay to the Contributor all
Collections received subsequent to such payment with respect to the Receivable
in respect of which a Contributor Indemnification Payment is made.

               (c)  The Contributor shall from time to time on demand pay to the
Company an amount equal to the amount (if any) of funds required to be paid or

                                       8

through 2.07(t) of the Pooling Agreement.

     2.07 Certain Charges.  The Contributor and the Company hereby agree that
          ---------------
late charge revenue, reversals of discounts, other fees and charges and other
similar items, whenever created, accrued in respect of Receivables shall be the
property of the Company notwithstanding the occurrence of an Early Originator
Termination or Early Program Termination and all collections with respect
thereto shall continue to be allocated and treated as collections in respect of
the Receivables transferred, conveyed, assigned and contributed to the Company
pursuant to subsection 2.01(a) hereof.
            ------------------

     2.08 Certain Allocations.  The Contributor, as Local Servicer, hereby
          -------------------
agrees that if the Contributor can attribute a Collection to a specific Obligor
and a specific Receivable, then such Collection shall be applied to pay such
Receivable of such Obligor; provided, however, that if the Contributor cannot
                            --------  -------
attribute a Collection to a specific Receivable, then such Collection shall be
applied to pay the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of maturity of such
Receivables, beginning with the Receivable that has been outstanding the longest
and ending with the Receivable that has been outstanding the shortest.

     2.09 Collection Accounts and Master Collection Accounts.  The Company shall
          --------------------------------------------------
establish and maintain accounts in its name, subject to the security interest of
the Trustee, into which Obligors will be instructed to make payments in
accordance with Section 5.09 of this Agreement (collectively, the "Collection
                                                                   ----------

<PAGE>

economic substance of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents
on the Effective Date.

documents, and take all further action (including but not limited to notifying
the related Obligors to the extent necessary to perfect the ownership interest
of the Company in the Receivables) that may be necessary in the Contributor's
reasonable judgment or that the Company may reasonably request, in order to
protect the Company's right, title and interest in the Receivables, or to enable

contributed, assigned, conveyed or transferred by the Contributor without the
signature of the Contributor to the extent permitted by applicable law; and

               (c)  If the Contributor fails to perform any of its agreements or
obligations under this Agreement, following notice to the Contributor detailing
such delinquency, the Company may (but shall not be required to) perform, or
cause performance of, such agreements or obligations, and the expenses of the
Company incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Contributor as
provided in Section 9.02. The Company agrees promptly to notify the Contributor
            ------------
after any such performance; provided, however, that the failure to give such
                            --------  -------
notice shall not affect the validity of any such performance.

     5.17 Marking of Records.  The Contributor will, and will cause each
          ------------------
Originator to, identify on its extraction records relating to the Receivables
from its master database of receivables that the Receivables and all other
Receivable Assets related thereto have been contributed, assigned, conveyed or
transferred to the Company, and thereupon a Participation and security interest
granted by the Company to the Trustee.  The Contributor agrees that from time to
time it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and

request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Trustee's first

itself responsible for and will seek no indemnity from the Trustee in respect of
Stamp Duty which is required to be paid in order to secure the stamping of any
Relevant Document for any of the following purposes:

                    (i)  allowing the Relevant Document in question to be
               produced in evidence in proceedings in the United Kingdom where
               this is required in order to enable the Company to enforce its
               rights in respect of any Receivables against the Obligors and
               either:

                         (A)  the judge, arbitrator or other person responsible
                    for the determination of such proceedings has ruled that an
                    executed original or counterpart of the Relevant Document
                    must be produced in evidence as aforesaid (provided that if
                    an appeal against the ruling is permissible and the Company
                    so requests, and on the condition that the Company
                    indemnifies the Trustee to its satisfaction on an after-tax
                    basis for all costs involved in such appeal, the Trustee
                    will pursue such an appeal pending which the Trustee will
                    not cause an executed original or counterpart of the
                    Relevant Document to be produced in evidence as aforesaid);
                    or

                         (B)  the rules governing the conduct of such
                    proceedings provide that a certified unstamped copy of the
                    Relevant Document or any other form of evidence of the
                    matters which are the subject of such proceedings cannot be
                    produced as adequate evidence for the purposes of such
                    proceedings;

                    (ii) complying with a requirement imposed by any judicial or
               governmental authority for the Relevant Document to be stamped
               before it will be taken into account for the purpose of
               determining any liability of the Company to taxation (subject to
               the

                                      27

               Company taking reasonable steps to resist or avoid such
               requirement (insofar as it is able to do so while fully complying
               with its obligations under applicable law and practice and

               its interests)).

accordance with the Policies (and would have been made in the ordinary course of
business), (ii) if such cancellation, termination, amendment, modification or
waiver arose as a result of a request from an Obligor, (iii) if any such
amendment, modification or waiver does not cause such Receivable to cease to be
an Eligible Receivable and (iv) such cancellation, termination, amendment,
modification or waiver would not have a material and prejudicial effect on the
collectibility of the relevant Receivable or (b) such Dilution Adjustment is the
result of a pre-existing contractual obligation between the Contributor or any

invoice related to a Receivable, either (i) such invoice must be replaced with
an invoice relating to the same transaction as the cancelled invoice of equal or
greater Principal Amount on the same Business Day as the day of cancellation
(ii) such invoice must be replaced with an invoice relating to the same
transaction as the cancelled invoice of a lesser Principal Amount on the same
Business Day and the Contributor must make an Contributor Dilution Adjustment

in the Receivables.

     6.05 Policies.  Make any change or modification (or permit any change or
          --------
modification to be made) in any material respect to the Policies, except (i) if

Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Adjusted Invested
amount of such Series (or, as otherwise specified in the related Supplement)

       that the Contributor shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the
       Company's use of and access to the Originator Documents and its computer
       software during such license period; and

       deliver to the Company all licenses, rights, computer programs, related
       material, computer tapes, disks, cassettes and data necessary for the
       immediate collection of the Receivables by the Company, with or without
       the participation of the Contributor (excluding software licenses which
       by their terms are not permitted to be so delivered; provided that the

nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern

Manhattan, City of New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of

               (a)   The Contributor, by entering into this Agreement, covenants
