number and (B) the outstanding balance of such Receivable. Such computer files
or microfiche lists shall be delivered to HARC (or to the Indenture Trustee if

          (d)  The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property 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 III

(or to the Master Servicer if HARC so directs) all such collections and
recoveries to the extent such amounts are payable to HARC as soon as practicable
after receipt thereof.

          (e)  NOTICE OF LIENS. Seller shall notify HARC promptly after becoming
aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances hereunder.

          (f)  DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSFER. Seller shall undertake to file the
documents which would be necessary to perfect and maintain the transfer of the
security interest in and to the Receivables and Other Conveyed Assets.

          (g)  APPROVAL OF OFFICE RECORDS. Seller shall cause this Agreement to
be duly approved by Seller's Board of Directors, and Seller shall maintain the
Agreement as a part of the official records of Seller for the term of the
Agreement.

          (h)  MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES. In the event that
the assignment of a Receivable to HARC or any assignee thereof is insufficient,
without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or
without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of
the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security
interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of HARC or any assignee
thereof, Seller hereby agrees that the designation of Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as
agent of HARC or the agent of any assignee of HARC for such limited purpose.

                                    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
Seller or receipt by Seller of notice of such breach from any of the Master
Servicer, HARC, a Trust Officer of the Indenture 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 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 Secured
Parties, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Indenture 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

                                        9
<Page>

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 Receivable under the 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 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

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement
specifically undertaken by Seller and the representations and warranties of
Seller.

          SECTION 6.2    AMENDMENT. This Agreement and any Conveyance Papers and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder may not be changed orally,
but only by an instrument in writing signed by HARC and Seller in accordance
with this Section 6.2. This Agreement and any Conveyance Papers may be amended
from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,

Secured Parties shall be paid by Seller, on behalf of HARC, directly to the

under this Agreement against Seller for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
the Owner Trustee.

          (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. Such computer
files or microfiche lists shall be delivered to HARC (or to the related
Indenture Trustee if so directed by HARC) and marked as proprietary and

<Page>

to alter the code referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any
Receivable during the term of this Agreement.

          (d) The parties hereto intend that each Conveyance shall constitute a
sale of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the related Receivables
and Other Conveyed Property, conveying good title free and clear of any liens,
claims, encumbrances or rights of others from Seller to HARC and that the such
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property subject to such Conveyance 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 each
Conveyance of Receivables and Other Conveyed Property shall constitute a
purchase and sale of such Receivables and Other Conveyed Property 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 III

shall not claim any ownership interest in the Receivables or any Other Conveyed

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 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. In the event that Seller
receives collections or recoveries with respect to the Receivables, Seller
agrees to pay to HARC (or to the Master Servicer if HARC so directs) all such
collections and recoveries to the extent such amounts are payable to HARC as
soon as practicable after receipt thereof.

          (e) NOTICE OF LIENS. Seller shall notify HARC promptly after becoming
aware of any Lien on any Receivable or any Other Conveyed Property other than
the conveyances hereunder.

          (f) DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSFER. Seller shall undertake to file the
documents which would be necessary to perfect and maintain the transfer of the
security interest in and to the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property.

          (g) APPROVAL OF OFFICE RECORDS. Seller shall cause this Agreement to
be duly approved by Seller's Board of Directors, and Seller shall maintain this
Agreement as a part of the official records of Seller for the term of this
Agreement.

          (h) MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES. In the event that
the assignment of a Receivable to HARC or any assignee thereof is insufficient,
without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or
without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of
the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security
interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of HARC or any assignee
thereof, Seller hereby agrees that the designation of Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as
agent of HARC or the agent of any assignee of HARC for such limited purpose.

                                    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

                                        9
<Page>

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.

consents to such assignment. Additionally, Seller agrees for the benefit of such
Indenture Trustee that any amounts payable by Seller to HARC hereunder which are
