to such property shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the
filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy
law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the Seller, the

                                      22

transfer and assignment contemplated hereby and thereby is held not to be a
sale, this Agreement and the related Transfer Agreement shall constitute a
Grant of a security interest in the property referred to in this Section 2.1
to the Issuer.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.1 and any
other provisions of any Transaction Document that purport to allow multiple
conveyances of Receivable from the Seller to the Issuer, the parties hereto
agree that, other than the conveyance of the Receivables on the Closing Date,
the Seller shall not convey any Receivables to the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement or any Transfer Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Insurer.

            SECTION 2.2.   FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OF OWNER TRUST ESTATE. (a)
Immediately upon the conveyance to the Trust by the Seller of Receivables and
the related Other Conveyed Property pursuant to Section 2.1, all right, title
and interest of the Seller in and to such Receivables and such Other Conveyed
Property shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest shall vest
in the Issuer, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Sections 3802 and
3805 of the Business Trust Statute (as defined in the Trust Agreement).

                  (b) Immediately upon the vesting of any Receivables and the
related Other Conveyed Property, the Trust shall have the sole right to pledge
or otherwise encumber such property subject to the terms of the Basic Documents.
Pursuant to the Indenture and the Series Supplement, the Trust will grant a
security interest in the Series Trust Estate to secure the repayment of the
Notes and amounts owing to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement and the
Basic Documents. The Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership
interest in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property, and the
Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect
thereto as set forth in the Series Supplement.

                  (c) The Indenture Trustee shall hold the Series Trust Estate
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Following the payment in full of the
Notes and all amounts owing to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement and the
Basic Documents and the release and discharge of the Indenture and the Series
Supplement, all covenants of the Issuer under Article III of the Indenture and
the Series Supplement shall, until payment in full of the Certificates, remain
as covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
enforceable by the Certificateholders to the same extent as such covenants were
enforceable by the Secured Parties prior to the discharge of the Indenture. Any
rights of the Indenture Trustee under Article III of the Indenture and the
Series Supplement, following the discharge of the Indenture and the Series
Supplement, shall vest in the Certificateholders.

                  (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no
Securities outstanding and all amounts owing to the Insurer under the Insurance
Agreement and the Basic Documents and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee or
any agent or counsel thereof pursuant to the Indenture as supplemented by the
Series Supplement, have been paid, pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Indenture, and
subject to

                                      23

satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, release the Lien of the
Series Supplement and the Indenture with respect to the Series Trust Estate.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                THE RECEIVABLES

            SECTION 3.1.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. The
Seller represents and warrants as to the related Receivables that the
representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Eligibility
Criteria are, or will be, true and correct as of the respective dates
specified in such Schedule. The Issuer is deemed to have relied on such
representations and warranties in acquiring the related Receivables, the
Insurer is deemed to have relied on such representations and warranties in
issuing the Note Policy and the related Securityholders shall be deemed to
rely on such representations and warranties in purchasing the Notes and
Certificates or any Additional Principal Amounts thereunder. Such
representations and warranties shall survive the sale, transfer and
assignment of the Owner Trust Estate to the Issuer and any pledge of the
Series Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and
the Series Supplement.

            SECTION 3.2.   REPURCHASE UPON BREACH. (a) The Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Insurer, any Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee, or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform each of the other parties to
this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the
Seller's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give any such notice shall not
derogate from any obligations of the Seller under this Section 3.2. As of the
last day of the second (or, if the Seller so elects, the first, or with
respect to any exceptions appearing on any exception report delivered by the
Indenture Trustee, the first) month following the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice of such breach (or such longer period not in
excess of 120 days, as may be agreed upon by the Indenture Trustee, the
Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and the Master
Servicer), unless such breach is cured by such date, the Seller shall have an
obligation to repurchase or cause HAFC or an Affiliate of HAFC that is the
seller under a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement or Household Finance
Corporation, as applicable, to repurchase any Receivable in which the
interests of the Securityholders and/or the Insurer are materially and
adversely affected by any such breach. In consideration of and simultaneously
with the repurchase of the Receivables, the Seller shall remit, or cause HAFC
or an Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a Master Receivables
Purchase Agreement or Household Finance Corporation, as applicable, to remit,
to the Collection Account the Repurchase Amount in the manner specified in
Section 5.4 and the Issuer shall execute such assignments and other documents
reasonably requested by such person in order to effect such repurchase. The
sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Insurer and the related holders with respect to a breach of representations
and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 and the agreement contained in this
Section shall be the repurchase of the Receivables pursuant to this Section,
subject to the conditions contained herein or to enforce the obligation of
HAFC or an Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a Master Receivables
Purchase Agreement or Household Finance

                                      24

<PAGE>

Corporation, as applicable, to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables
pursuant to the related Master Receivables Purchase Agreement. Neither the
Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have a duty to conduct any
affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring
the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

                  (b) Pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement and pursuant
to the related Transfer Agreement, the Seller conveyed to the Trust all of
the Seller's right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none
of its obligations or burdens, under the Master Receivables Purchase
Agreements and the related Master Receivables Purchase Agreement Supplements,
including the Seller's rights under the Master Receivables Purchase
Agreements and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and
the cure or repurchase obligations of HAFC or an Affiliate of HAFC that is
the seller under a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement or Household Finance
Corporation, as applicable, thereunder. The Seller hereby represents and
warrants to the Trust that such assignment is valid, enforceable and
effective to permit the Trust to enforce such obligations of HAFC or an
Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a Master Receivables Purchase
Agreement and Household Finance Corporation under the Master Receivables
Purchase Agreements.

            SECTION 3.3.   CUSTODY OF RECEIVABLES FILES. In connection with
the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to
this Agreement and pursuant to the related Transfer Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall act as custodian for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee of
the following documents or instruments with respect to each Receivable:

                        (i) The fully executed original of the Receivable
                  (together with any agreements modifying the Receivable,
                  including, without limitation, any extension agreements);

                        (ii) The original credit application, or a copy thereof,
                  of each Obligor, fully executed by each such Obligor on the
                  customary form used by HAFC, an Affiliate of HAFC, or the
                  related Dealer, as applicable, or on a form approved by HAFC
                  or an Affiliate of HAFC, as applicable, for such application;
                  and

                        (iii) The original certificate of title (when received)
                  and otherwise such documents, if any, that HAFC or any
                  Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a Master
                  Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, keeps on file
                  in accordance with its customary procedures indicating that
                  the Financed Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to
                  the interest of HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is the
                  seller under a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement as first
                  lienholder or secured party (including any Lien Certificate
                  received by HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller
                  under a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable),
                  or, if such original certificate of title has not yet

                                      25
<PAGE>

                  been received, a copy of the application therefor, showing any
                  of HAFC, Household Bank or a Dealer as secured party (in the
                  case of a Dealer, the application shall be to obtain title in
                  the name of HAFC or Household Bank); and

                        (iv) Documents evidencing or relating to any Insurance
                  Policy, to the extent such documents are maintained by or on
                  behalf of the Seller, HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is a
                  seller under a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may appoint a subcustodian,
which subcustodian may hold physical possession of some or all of the Receivable
Files. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for the acts or omissions
of any such custodian or subcustodian.

                                    ARTICLE IV

                     ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

            SECTION 4.1.   DUTIES OF THE MASTER SERVICER. The Master Servicer
is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Trust (and also on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Insurer) and in such capacity
shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables,
and perform the other actions required by the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Series Supplement. The Master Servicer
agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out in
accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions which service
motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more
exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer
exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it
services for itself or others. In performing such duties, so long as
Household Finance Corporation is the Master Servicer, it shall comply with
the standard and customary procedures for servicing all of its comparable
motor vehicle receivables. The Master Servicer's duties shall include,
without limitation, collection and posting of all payments, responding to
inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies,
sending monthly billing statements to Obligors, reporting any required tax
information to Obligors, monitoring the collateral, accounting for
collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Insurer with respect to distributions,
monitoring the status of Insurance Policies with respect to the Financed
Vehicles and performing the other duties specified herein. The Master
Servicer shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of
the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer Agreements (and
Household Finance Corporation shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain possession of the Dealer Agreements, to the extent it is necessary to
do so), the Dealer Assignments, the Master Receivables Purchase Agreements,
and the Insurance Policies, to the extent that such Dealer Agreements, Dealer
Assignments, the Master Receivables Purchase Agreements, and Insurance
Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors. To
the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise
required hereby, the Master Servicer shall follow its customary

                                      26
<PAGE>

standards, policies, and procedures and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing,
servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or
desirable. In performing such duties, the Master Servicer or any Subservicer
may delegate their duties in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in it's own name or in
the name of the Trust, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to
Section 4.3 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding
(including, without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or
involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Master
Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own
name, the Trust shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such
Receivable to the Master Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or
participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Master
Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver in
the Master Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints,
responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with
any such proceeding. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall
furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents
which the Master Servicer may reasonably request and which the Master
Servicer deems necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the
Master Servicer may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the
Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under
this Agreement.

            SECTION 4.2.   COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS; MODIFICATIONS
OF RECEIVABLES. (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures
required by this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts
to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor
vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act
with respect to the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer
Assignments, the Master Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Insurance
Policies and the Other Conveyed Property in such manner as will, in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize the amount to be
received by the Trust with respect thereto. Consistent with the foregoing,
the Master Servicer may, if it determines in its reasonable judgment that
such action would maximize the amount to be received by the Trust, arrange
for the sale by the Trust of Liquidated Receivables with respect to which the
related Financed Vehicle has been sold, and the net proceeds of such sale
shall be included in Net Liquidation Proceeds. The Master Servicer is
authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment
charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course
of servicing any Receivable.

                  (b) The Master Servicer may at any time agree to a
modification or amendment of a Receivable in order to (i) change the
Obligor's regular due date to a date within 30 days of when such due date
occurs; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

                                      27

<PAGE>

no modification of a Receivable in connection with a due date change pursuant
to this clause (i) shall be considered an extension for purposes of Section
4.2(c) below and therefore shall not be subject to the restrictions on
extensions, modifications or amendments specified in Section 4.2(c) below or
(ii) re-amortize the Scheduled Payments on the Receivable following a partial
prepayment of principal; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no re-amortization permitted
by this clause (ii) shall extend the maturity date of any Receivable.

                  (c) The Master Servicer may grant payment extensions on, or
other modifications or amendments to, a Receivable in accordance with its
customary procedures if the Master Servicer believes in good faith that such
extension, modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such
Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received with respect to such
Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Trust; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement:

                        (i) The aggregate period of all extensions on a
                  Receivable shall not exceed six months; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
                  that not more than three months can be in any consecutive
                  twelve month period;

                        (ii) In no event may a Receivable be extended by the
                  Master Servicer beyond the Collection Period immediately
                  preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of the Notes;

                        (iii) The average Monthly Extension Rate for any three
                  consecutive calendar months shall not exceed 4%; and

                        (iv) Not more than 5% of the Pool Balance may be subject
                  to a modified interest rate at any time (exclusive of Cram
                  Down Losses).

                  (d) Except as otherwise provided below in Section 4.2(e)
hereof, the Master Servicer shall deposit collections in immediately available
funds on or with respect to Receivables into the Collection Account as promptly
as possible after the date of processing of such collections, but in no event
later than the second Business Day following the date of processing.

                  (e) Subject to the express terms of the Series Supplement, but
notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as
(i) Household Finance Corporation remains the Master Servicer and maintains a
commercial paper rating of not less than A-1 by Standard & Poor's, P-1 by
Moody's and F1 by Fitch (or such other rating as shall be satisfactory to such
Rating Agency and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party)), in
each case only if such Person is a Rating Agency, and for five Business Days
following any reduction of any such rating or (ii) a Master Servicer Credit
Facility is maintained in effect by the Master Servicer in form and substance
acceptable to the Rating Agency (such acceptability to be evidenced in writing

                                      28
<PAGE>

by the Rating Agency to the effect that failure to make the aforementioned
deposit on the basis of the maintenance of the Master Servicer Credit Facility
will not adversely affect the then current rating of the Notes) and the Insurer
(for so long as it is the Controlling Party) issued by a depository institution
or insurance company having a rating on its (A) short-term obligations of at
least P-1 by Moody's, A-1 by Standard & Poor's and F1 by Fitch (or such other
rating as shall be satisfactory to such Rating Agency and the Insurer (for so
long as it is the Controlling Party)), in each case only if such Person is a
Rating Agency, and (B) long term obligations of at least A2 by Moody's, A by
Standard & Poor's, and A by Fitch, in each case only if such Person is a Rating
Agency, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make deposits of
collections on or with respect to Receivables as provided in Section 4.2(d), but
may make one or more deposits of Collected Funds (excluding any portion of such
funds which the Master Servicer may retain in accordance with Section 4.8 or pay
directly to the Seller in its capacity as Certificateholder in accordance with
Section 5.1(f)) with respect to the Series Trust Estate with respect to a
Collection Period into the Collection Account in immediately available funds not
later than 1:00 P.M., Central time, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to
the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer if it is required to deposit funds in
accordance with Section 4.2(d).

                  (f) In the event that a Master Servicer Credit Facility is
maintained, the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days of the date of
processing of collections on or with respect to Receivables notify the Indenture
Trustee and the Master Servicer Credit Facility Issuer in writing of the amounts
that would otherwise be deposited in the Collection Account and the Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain for the Trust a Payment Record in which
the payments on or with respect to the Receivables shall be credited and the
Master Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Master
Servicer Credit Facility Issuer in writing as promptly as practicable (but in
any event prior to the Determination Date for the following Distribution Date)
of the amounts so credited on or with respect to the Receivables that are to be
included in Collected Funds (as determined for this purpose after giving effect
to the exclusions described above) for the related Distribution Date and of the
amounts so credited which will constitute a part of Collected Funds (as
determined for this purpose after giving effect to the exclusions described
above) for the second following Distribution Date. The Payment Record shall be
made available for inspection during normal business hours of the Master
Servicer upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer (for so long as it
is the Controlling Party) or any Master Servicer Credit Facility Issuer.

            SECTION 4.3.   REALIZATION UPON RECEIVABLES. (a) Consistent with
the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess (or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a
Receivable with respect to which the Master Servicer has determined that
payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable
after default on such Receivable but in no event later than the date on which
10% or more of a Scheduled Payment has become 150 days delinquent (other than
in the case of Financed Vehicles where neither the Financed Vehicle nor the
Obligor can be

                                       29
<PAGE>

physically located by the Master Servicer (using procedures consistent with
the standards, policies and procedures of the Master Servicer required by
this Agreement) and other than in the case of an Obligor who is subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer may elect
not to repossess a Financed Vehicle within such time period if in its good
faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with
respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Master
Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as
it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care
required by Section 4.1, which practices and procedures may include
reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the
related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims
under an Insurance Policy and other actions, including, without limitation,
entering into settlements with Obligors, by the Master Servicer in order to
realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision
that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage,
the Master Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or
towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine
in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than
the amount of such expenses. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and
liquidating a Financed Vehicle but only from the liquidation proceeds of the
vehicle or under the related Dealer Agreement. The Master Servicer shall pay
on behalf of the Trust any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed
Financed Vehicles. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of
any such tax from Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable.

                  (b) If the Master Servicer elects to commence a legal
proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Trust to the
Master Servicer of the rights under such Dealer Agreement and Dealer Assignment
for purposes of collection only. If, HOWEVER, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Master Servicer may not enforce a Dealer
Agreement or Dealer Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in
interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer
Assignment, the Indenture Trustee, at the Master Servicer's written direction
and expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's expense, shall take such steps as
the Master Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement
or Dealer Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the
Seller, the Trust or the Owner Trustee. All amounts recovered shall be remitted
directly by the Master Servicer as provided in Section 4.2(d) or 4.2(e), as
applicable.

            SECTION 4.4.   INSURANCE. (a) The Master Servicer shall require,
in accordance with its customary servicing policies and procedures, that each
Financed Vehicle be insured by the related Obligor under an insurance policy
covering physical loss and damage to the related Financed Vehicle and shall
monitor the status of such physical loss and damage insurance coverage
thereafter, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures. Each
Receivable requires the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage
insurance, naming HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a
Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and its successors and
assigns as

                                       30
<PAGE>

loss payee, and with respect to liability coverage, additional
insureds, and permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain physical loss
and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to
maintain such insurance. If the Master Servicer shall determine that an
Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance
Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions
set forth in the related Eligibility Criteria (including, without limitation,
during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle) the Master Servicer shall
be diligent in carrying out its customary servicing procedures to enforce the
rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require the
Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance in accordance with
its customary servicing policies and procedures.

                  (b) The Master Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the
Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Trust. If
the Master Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an
Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic
assignment of the rights of the Trust under such Insurance Policy to the Master
Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, HOWEVER, in any enforcement suit
or legal proceeding it is held that the Master Servicer may not enforce an
Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a
holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee, at the
Master Servicer's written direction and expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's
expense, shall take such steps as the Master Servicer deems reasonably necessary
to enforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the
name of the Trust or the Owner Trustee.

            SECTION 4.5.   MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES.
Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Trust as are necessary
to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in
the related Financed Vehicle on behalf of the Trust or as the Indenture
Trustee or the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) shall
reasonably request, including, but not limited to, obtaining the execution by
the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing,
and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and
continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest
granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Owner Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust, hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such
security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of the
relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that
the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust 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 the Trust, the Seller
hereby agrees to cause HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under
a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, to treat the
designation of HAFC or any Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a
Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as the secured party on
the certificate of title as a designation in its capacity as agent of the
Trust for such limited purpose.

                                       31
<PAGE>

            SECTION 4.6.   COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES
OF MASTER SERVICER. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer makes the following representations, warranties and covenants
on which the Issuer relies in accepting the Receivables, on which the
Indenture Trustee relies in authenticating the Notes, on which the
Noteholders rely in purchasing the Notes and any Additional Principal Amount
thereunder, on which the Owner Trustee relies in executing the Certificates
and on which the Insurer relies in issuing the Note Policy.

            The Master Servicer covenants as follows:

                        (i) LIENS IN FORCE. The Financed Vehicle securing each
                  Receivable shall not be released in whole or in part from the
                  security interest granted by the Receivable, except upon
                  payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated
                  herein;

                        (ii)  NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Master Servicer shall
                  do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust, the

                  Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Master
                  Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Insurance
                  Policies or the Other Conveyed Property;

                        (iii) NO AMENDMENTS.  The Master Servicer shall
                  not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any
                  Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.2;

                        (iv) RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS. The Master Servicer shall
                  not (i) create, incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create,
                  incur or suffer to exist, or consent to cause or permit in the
                  future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the
                  creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien or restriction
                  on transferability of the Receivables except for the Lien in
                  favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
                  Parties, and the restrictions on transferability imposed by
                  this Agreement or (ii) sign or file under the Uniform
                  Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any financing statement
                  which names HAFC, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof
                  as a debtor, or sign any security agreement authorizing any
                  secured party thereunder to file such financing statement,
                  with respect to the Receivables, except in each case any such
                  instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the Lien
                  in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
                  Secured Parties;

                        (v) SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES. The Master Servicer shall
                  service the Receivables as required by the terms of this
                  Agreement and in material compliance with its standard and
                  customary procedures for servicing all its other comparable
                  motor vehicle receivables and in compliance with applicable
                  law; and

                                       32

<page>

                        (vi) RELOCATIONS OF PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The Master
                  Servicer shall notify in writing the Indenture Trustee and the
                  Insurer of any relocation of the Master Servicer's principal
                  office set forth in Section 13.3 hereof and all Receivables
                  Files shall be maintained by the Master Servicer in the United
                  States.

            SECTION 4.7.   REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF
COVENANT. Upon discovery by any of the Master Servicer, the Seller, the
Insurer, a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee or a Trust Officer of the
Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections
4.5 or 4.6, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Master Servicer under this
Section 4.7. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or
receipt of notice of any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 4.5 or
4.6 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Securityholders or the Insurer in any Receivable (including any Liquidated
Receivable) or the related Financed Vehicle (or, if such second Accounting
Date is more than 45 days after discovery or receipt by the Master Servicer
of notice of such breach, then the first Accounting Date so following), the
Master Servicer shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all
material respects, repurchase from the Trust the Receivable affected by such
breach and, on the date specified in Section 5.4, the Master Servicer shall
pay the related Repurchase Amount and deposit such Repurchase Amounts into
the Collection Account. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Master Servicer to repurchase any Receivable (including any Liquidated
Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against the Master Servicer for such breach.

            SECTION 4.8.   TOTAL SERVICING FEE; PAYMENT OF CERTAIN
EXPENSES BY MASTER SERVICER. So as long as: (i) Household Finance Corporation
is the Master Servicer, (ii) the Master Servicer is permitted to make
deposits of collections in accordance with Section 4.2(e) hereof and (iii)
the Master Servicer's Certificate delivered with respect to such Distribution
Date indicates that Available Funds with respect to such Distribution Date
are sufficient to make the distributions required to be made on such
Distribution Date in respect of the Servicing Fee payable to Household
Finance Corporation as Master Servicer (and all other distributions required
to be made on such Distribution Date having a higher priority than the
distribution of the Servicing Fee payable to Household Finance Corporation as
Master Servicer), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain out of
amounts otherwise to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to a
Collection Period, the Servicing Fee payable to Household Finance Corporation
as Master Servicer for such Collection Period. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Master Servicer,
expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the
Master Servicer to Securityholders, all fees and expenses of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee), except taxes levied or assessed against
the Trust, and claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, which
taxes and claims in respect of indemnification against the Trust are
expressly stated to be for the account of Household Finance Corporation. The
Master Servicer

                                       33
<PAGE>

shall be liable for the fees, charges and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, any Subservicer and their respective agents.

            SECTION 4.9.   MASTER SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE. No later than 10:00
a.m. Central time on each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
deliver, and cause to be delivered via access to its or its Affiliate's
web-site address, to the Insurer, the Swap Provider, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee, a Master Servicer's Certificate executed by a
responsible officer or agent of the Master Servicer containing among other
things, all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to give any
notice required by Section 3.03(c) of the Series Supplement and make the
distributions with respect to the related Distribution Date pursuant to the
Series Supplement. In addition to the information set forth in the preceding
sentence, the Master Servicer's Certificate shall also contain the
information required by the Series Supplement.

            SECTION 4.10.  ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE, NOTICE OF
MASTER SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee on or before April 30 (or 120 days after the end of the Master
Servicer's fiscal year, if other than December 31) of each year, beginning on
April 30 in the calendar year succeeding the Closing Date, an Officer's
Certificate signed by any responsible officer of the Master Servicer, or such
Eligible Subservicer who is performing the servicing duties of the Master
Servicer, dated as of December 31 (or other applicable date) of the
immediately preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of
the Master Servicer, or such Eligible Subservicer who is performing the
servicing duties of the Master Servicer, during the preceding 12-month period
(or such shorter period since the Closing Date) and of its performance under
this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer, or such
Eligible Subservicer who is performing the servicing duties of the Master
Servicer, has in all material respects fulfilled all its obligations under
this Agreement throughout such period, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof.

                  (b) The Master Servicer, or such Eligible Subservicer who is
performing the servicing duties of the Master Servicer, shall deliver to the
Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, and, in the event that
such notice is delivered by the Subservicer, to the Master Servicer, promptly
after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two (2)
Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any
event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a
Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 10.1(a). The Seller or the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller (as applicable) promptly after having
obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days
thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with
the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Master Servicer
Termination Event under any other clause of Section 10.1.

            SECTION 4.11.  ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT. (a) The
Master Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent
certified public accountants (the "Independent Accountants"), who may also
render other services to the Master Servicer or to the Seller, to deliver to
the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee on or before April
30 (or 120 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year, if other
than December 31) of each year, beginning on April 30 in the calendar year
succeeding the Closing Date with respect to the twelve months (or shorter
applicable period) ended the immediately preceding December 31 (or other
applicable date), a report to the effect that they have examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of Receivables under this
Agreement and the Series Supplement, compared the information contained in
the Master Servicer's Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.9 during
the period covered by such report with such documents and records and that,
on the basis of such examination, such accountants are of the opinion that
the servicing has been conducted in compliance with the terms and conditions
as set forth in Articles IV and V of this Agreement and the applicable
provisions of the Series Supplement, except for such exceptions as they
believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in
such statement. Such report shall acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee
shall be a "non-participating party" with respect to such report, or words to
similar effect. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to make any
independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
liability in respect of, the sufficiency of such procedures.

                  (b) On or before April 30 of each calendar year, beginning
with April 30 in the calendar year succeeding the Closing Date, the Master
Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer or the
Seller) to furnish a report to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Master
Servicer to the effect that they have compared the mathematical calculations of
each amount set forth in the Master Servicer's Certificates delivered pursuant
to Section 4.9 during the period covered by such report with the Master
Servicer's computer reports which were the source of such amounts and that on
the basis of such comparison, such accountants are of the opinion that such
amounts are in agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be
immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
Such report shall acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee shall be a
"non-participating party" with respect to such report, or words to similar
effect. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to make any independent inquiry
or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of,
the sufficiency of such procedures.

            SECTION 4.12.  ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND
INFORMATION REGARDING RECEIVABLES. The Master Servicer shall provide to
representatives of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party),
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee reasonable access to the
documentation regarding the Receivables. In each case, such access shall be
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of
the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Master Servicer to
provide access as

                                       35
<PAGE>

provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a breach of this Section.

            SECTION 4.13.  FIDELITY BOND AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS POLICY. The
Master Servicer or such Eligible Subservicer that is performing the servicing
duties of the Master Servicer, has obtained, and shall continue to maintain
in full force and effect, a Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Policy of
a type and in such amount as is customary for servicers engaged in the
business of servicing motor vehicle receivables.

                                   ARTICLE V

                         TRUST ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS;
                STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS AND NOTEHOLDERS

            SECTION 5.1.   ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST ACCOUNTS.  (a)  (i) The
Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain the Trust Accounts required to
be established and maintained pursuant to the Series Supplement, and such
Trust Accounts shall be subject to the sole dominion and control of the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer.

                     (ii)     No Trust Account shall be maintained with
an institution other than the Indenture Trustee unless such institution agrees
in writing to the provisions of this Section 5.1 as if such institution were the
Indenture Trustee, except that the Indenture Trustee shall continue to be the
"entitlement holder" of the related Trust Account.

                     (iii)    With respect to any Trust Account Property held
from time to time in any Trust Account, the Indenture Trustee agrees that (A)
such Trust Account Property shall at all times be credited in the Indenture
Trustee's books and records to the relevant Trust Account, (B) any Eligible
Investment constituting a deposit account shall be, except as otherwise
provided herein, subject to the exclusive custody and control of the
Indenture Trustee, and, if the Indenture Trustee is not the depositary bank
with which such deposit account is maintained, the Indenture Trustee shall be
the depositary bank's customer with respect thereto, and (C) any Eligible
Investment other than a deposit account shall be held, pending maturity or
disposition by the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the relevant terms
of the definition of "Delivery." The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and
agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial
asset, security, instrument, cash or any other type of property) credited to
a Trust Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of
Article 8 of the UCC.

                  (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Series Supplement,
funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested by the Indenture
Trustee (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account)
in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Master Servicer (pursuant to
standing instructions or otherwise) which absent any instruction shall be the
investments specified in clause (d) of the definition of Eligible Investments
set forth herein. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by

                                       36
<PAGE>

the Rating Agencies and the Insurer, funds on deposit in any Trust Account
shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds
will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the following Distribution Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account
on the day immediately preceding a Distribution Date and representing the
proceeds of Eligible Investments are required to be held overnight in an
Eligible Deposit Account and a portion of the earnings on such overnight
deposits in accordance with the agreed upon Indenture Trustee Fee shall be
included in Available Funds (as defined in the Series Supplement) for the
succeeding Distribution Date. All Eligible Investments will be held to
maturity.

                  (c) All investment earnings of monies deposited in the Trust
Accounts shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by the Indenture Trustee
in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on the Business
Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, and any loss resulting
from such investments shall be charged to the Collection Account. The Master
Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any
funds held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest granted and
perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment, in
either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with
any direction to the Indenture Trustee, to make any such investment, if
necessary, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to such effect.

                  (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable
by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any
loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable
to the Indenture Trustee's negligence or bad faith or its failure to make
payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee in its
commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Indenture Trustee in
accordance with their terms.

                  (e) If (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to give
investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the
Indenture Trustee by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed
by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall,
to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust
Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments in accordance with paragraph (b)
above; PROVIDED that, if following an Event of Default amounts are to be
distributed to Securityholders other than on a Distribution Date, investments
shall mature on the Business Day preceding any such proposed date of
distribution.

                  (f) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in
all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall
be part of the Series Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If, at any time, any Trust
Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the
Master Servicer on its behalf) shall within five

                                       37
<PAGE>

Business Days (or such longer period as to which each Rating Agency and the
Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) may consent) establish a
new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash
and/or any investments to such new Trust Account. In connection with the
foregoing, the Master Servicer agrees that, in the event that any of the
Trust Accounts are not accounts with the Indenture Trustee, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing
promptly upon any of such Trust Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit
Account. The Master Servicer may net against any deposits required to be made
to the Collection Account on the Business Day before any Determination Date
amounts that the Seller, as Certificateholder or otherwise, is entitled to
receive as distributions from the Collection Account on the related
Distribution Date.

            SECTION 5.2.   CERTAIN REIMBURSEMENTS TO THE MASTER SERVICER. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise required
to be remitted to the Collection Account with respect to a Collection Period
an amount in respect of funds deposited with respect to prior Collection
Periods in the Collection Account but later determined by the Master Servicer
to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for
insufficient funds; PROVIDED, THAT, such withholding may be made only
following certification by the Master Servicer of such amounts and the
provision of such information to the Indenture Trustee as may be necessary in
the opinion of the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of such
certification.

            SECTION 5.3.   APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS. All collections for
the Collection Period shall be applied by the Master Servicer as follows:
with respect to each Simple Interest Receivable (other than a Repurchased
Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (other than amounts, if
any, collected with respect to administrative fees, including late fees,
prepayment fees and liquidation fees collected on the Receivable) shall be
applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest
Method. With respect to each Actuarial Receivable, (other than a Repurchased
Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (other than amounts, if
any, collected with respect to administrative fees, including late fees,
prepayment fees and liquidation fees collected on the Receivable) shall be
applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Actuarial Method.

            SECTION 5.4.   ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS.

                  (a) HAFC, any Affiliate of HAFC that is the seller under a
Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, Household Finance Corporation and the
Seller, as applicable, shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection
Account on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date following the date
on which such obligations are due the aggregate Repurchase Amount with respect
to Repurchased Receivables.

                  (b) The Master Servicer agrees for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee that any amounts payable by the Master Servicer to the Seller
under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement to which the Master Servicer is
a party which are to be

                                       38
<PAGE>

paid by the Seller to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
Parties shall be paid by the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Seller,
directly to the Indenture Trustee.

following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Receivables and on which the Noteholders are deemed to have relied
on in the purchasing of Notes and any Additional Principal Amount and on which
each Support Provider shall be deemed to have relied on providing the Series
Support. Except as otherwise specifically provided, the representations speak as

the Receivables to the Issuer and each pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture and the Series Supplement.

                  (a) REPRESENTATIONS IN TRANSFER AGREEMENT. The representations

                  (c) DUE QUALIFICATION. The Seller is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions where the failure to do so
would materially and adversely affect Seller's ability to transfer the
Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the Receivables and the Other
Conveyed Property or to perform Seller's obligations hereunder and under the
Related Documents to which the Seller is a party.

                  (d) POWER AND AUTHORITY. The Seller has the power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Documents to

has full power and authority to sell and assign the Owner Trust Estate to be
sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust by it and has duly
authorized such sale and assignment to the Trust by all necessary corporate
action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Related Documents to which the Seller is a party have been duly authorized by
the Seller by all necessary corporate action.

                  (e) VALID SALE, BINDING OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement and
each related Transfer Agreement effects a valid sale, transfer and assignment
of the Owner Trust Estate, enforceable against the Seller and creditors of
and purchasers from the Seller; and this Agreement and the Related Documents
to which the Seller is a party, when duly executed and delivered, shall
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable
limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  (f) NO VIOLATION. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment
of the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall not (A)
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under,
the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any indenture,
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Seller is
a party or by which it is bound, (B) result in the creation or imposition of
any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than
this Agreement, or (C) violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable
to the Seller of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its properties, except in the case of
(A), (B) or (C) where any such default, Lien or violation shall not
materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders, the Insurer
or the Trust in the Series Trust Estate.

                  (g) NO PROCEEDINGS. There are no proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the Seller's knowledge, threatened against the

                  (b) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Issuer, the Delaware Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee

under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement and (ii) the Seller's or the Issuer's
violation of Federal or state securities laws in connection with the offering

                  (c) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless

of the Person seeking indemnification.

            Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation
or removal of the Delaware Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee and the termination of this Agreement or the Indenture or the Trust
Agreement, as applicable, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and other expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any
indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of
whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from
others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without
interest.

the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) shall have consented
to such action and written confirmation shall be received by the Indenture
Trustee, and the Insurer from each Rating Agency rating the Notes that the
then current rating of the Notes will not be withdrawn, downgraded or

any matters arising under any Basic Document. The Seller shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or

                                       43
<PAGE>

defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under
this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability. Except as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, neither the Seller nor
any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Seller acting in
such capacities shall be under any liability to the Trust, the
Securityholders, any Support Provider or any other Person for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith in such
capacities pursuant to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision
shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder.

                  (b) All obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, repurchase and indemnification obligations)
and under any of the Related Documents shall be limited in recourse to
property, if any, which the Seller may hold from time to time, not subject to
any Lien.

            SECTION 8.6.   SELLER MAY OWN CERTIFICATES OR NOTES. The Seller
and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes with the same rights as it
would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as
expressly provided herein or in any Basic Document. Notes or Certificates so
owned by the Seller or such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate
benefit under the provisions of the Basic Documents, without preference,
priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes or Certificates; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, (i) except in the event that all outstanding Notes and Certificates
are owned by the Seller and/or any Affiliates thereof, that any Notes or
Certificates owned by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, during the time
such Notes or Certificates are owned by them, shall be without voting rights
for any purpose set forth in the Basic Documents and (ii) any Notes or
Certificates owned by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, during the time
such Notes or Certificates are owned by them, will not be entitled to the
benefits of the Note Policy. The Seller shall notify the Owner Trustee, the
Insurer and the Indenture Trustee promptly after it or any of its Affiliates
become the owner or pledgee of a Certificate or a Note.

the negligence, misfeasance, or bad faith of the Master Servicer in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Series Supplement or by
reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement or the Series Supplement, except to the extent that such costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities arise out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification.

                  (f) The Master Servicer (when the Master Servicer is
Household Finance Corporation or an Affiliate of Household Finance
Corporation) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Insurer (to
the extent provided in the Insurance Agreement) and their respective
officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of the violation by Master Servicer
of federal or state securities laws in connection with the registration or
the sale of the Securities, except to the extent that such costs, expenses,
losses, damages, claims, and liabilities arise out of the negligence or
willful misconduct of such parties.

                  (g) Indemnification under this Article shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and will survive the early resignation or
removal of any of the parties hereto and shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the
Master Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Article and
the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the
recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Master Servicer,
without interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
obligations of the Master Servicer shall not terminate or be deemed released
upon the resignation or termination of Household Finance Corporation as the
Master Servicer and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.3.   MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE MASTER SERVICER. Any Person (i) into which the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which
acquires by conveyance, transfer, or lease substantially all of the assets of
the Master Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Master
Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of
assumption to perform every obligation of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and each Related Document and, whether or not such assumption
agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer under
this Agreement and each Related Document without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement or the Series Supplement, anything in this Agreement or the Series
Supplement to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or
permit any other Person to become a successor to the Master Servicer's
business, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner
Trustee, the Insurer and the

                                       48
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of
assumption comply with this Section 9.3 and that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been
complied with.

            SECTION 9.4.   LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF MASTER SERVICER AND
OTHERS. (a) Neither the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor any of the
directors or officers or employees or agents of any such Persons shall be
under any liability to the Trust, except as provided in this Agreement and
each Related Document, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any action pursuant to this Agreement or a Related Document; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or any such Persons against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence (excluding errors in judgment) in the performance of duties
(including negligence with respect to the Master Servicer's indemnification
obligations hereunder), by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties under this Agreement and each Related Document or any violation of law
by the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or such person, as the case may
be; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that this provision shall not affect any liability to
indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Owner Trustee
for costs, taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by
the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Owner Trustee, in their
individual capacities. The Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of such Persons may rely in good faith
on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person pertaining to any matters
arising under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate written
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it in
writing prior to the expenditure of risk of such funds or incurrence of
financial liability.

                  (b) Unless serving as Successor Master Servicer pursuant to
Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof, and notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any obligation
of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any Related Document,
and the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Seller and the Noteholders
shall look only to the Master Servicer to perform such obligations.

                  (c) The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to the
initial Indenture Trustee acting in the potential dual capacity of successor
Master Servicer and in the capacity as Indenture Trustee. Such Indenture
Trustee may, in such dual or other capacity, discharge its separate functions
fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty
of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that
any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by such Indenture
Trustee of express duties set forth in this Agreement in any of such
capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly
waived by the other

                                       49
<PAGE>

parties hereto and the Noteholders except in the case of negligence or
willful misconduct by such Indenture Trustee.

            SECTION 9.5.   DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Subject to Section 9.7, in
the ordinary course of business, the Master Servicer and the Subservicer,
provided it is HAFC, at any time may delegate any of their duties hereunder
to any Person, including any of their Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such
duties in accordance with standards employed by the Master Servicer or such
Subservicer in compliance with Section 4.1. Such delegation shall not relieve
the Master Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to
such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of
Section 9.6.

            SECTION 9.6.   MASTER SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the
provisions of Section 9.3, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination
that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries
or Affiliates, or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the
Master Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee
and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) in writing and
such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and the
Administrative Agent, where one exists, or otherwise, the Managing Agents;
(b) such proposed successor servicer has agreed in writing to assume the
obligations of Master Servicer hereunder and under each Basic Document to
which it is a party and (c) the Master Servicer has delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
all conditions precedent to the resignation of the Master Servicer and the
appointment of and acceptance by the proposed successor servicer have been
satisfied; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the case of clause (i) above, no such
resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Indenture
Trustee shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a
successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Insurer (for as long as it is
the Controlling Party) in accordance with Section 10.3 which shall have
assumed such responsibilities and obligations. Any such resignation shall not
relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for any of its obligations
hereunder arising prior to the effective date of such resignation. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to
clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

            SECTION 9.7.   SUBSERVICING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN MASTER SERVICER
AND SUBSERVICERS. The Master Servicer initially appoints HAFC to subservice
the Receivables. From time to time after the Closing Date, the Master
Servicer may enter into a subservicing agreement with any Person other than
HAFC which is an Eligible Subservicer and is in compliance with the laws of
each state necessary to enable it to perform the obligations of the Master
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. Any such subservicing agreement shall be
consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and
each Basic Document to which it is a party notwithstanding any

                                       50

<PAGE>

agreement relating to subservicing and the Master Servicer shall be obligated
to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone
were servicing and administering the Receivables. For purposes of this
Agreement and each Related Document, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have received payments on Receivables when any Subservicer has received such
payments. The parties hereto acknowledge that with respect to statements or
certificates required to be delivered by the Master Servicer in accordance
with this Agreement and the Series Supplement, including, but not limited to,
Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 hereof, that a statement or certificate delivered
by a subservicer shall be sufficient to discharge the Master Servicer's
obligation to deliver such certificate or statement.

            SECTION 9.8.   SUCCESSOR SUBSERVICERS. The Master Servicer may
terminate any Subservicer and either directly service the related Receivables
itself or enter into an agreement with a successor Subservicer that is an
Eligible Subservicer. Neither of the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
shall have a duty or obligation to monitor or supervise the performance of
any Subservicer.

                                    DEFAULT

            SECTION 10.1.  MASTER SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT. For purposes of
this Agreement, each of the following shall constitute a "Master Servicer
Termination Event":

                  (a) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver, or cause to
be delivered, to the Indenture Trustee for distribution pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or any Basic Document, any proceeds or payment required to be so
delivered by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement or any Basic
Document (including deposits of the Repurchase Amount pursuant to Section 4.7)
that continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after written
notice is received by the Master Servicer from the Indenture Trustee or the
Insurer or after discovery of such failure by a responsible officer of the
Master Servicer (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Master
Servicer is required to make such delivery or deposit);

                  (b) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe
or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in
this Agreement or the Basic Documents, which failure (i) materially and
adversely affects the rights of Noteholders (determined without regard to the
availability of funds under any Series Support) or the Insurer and (ii)
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer or after
discovery thereof by the Master Servicer;

                  (c) The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court or
regulatory authority having jurisdiction in respect of the Master Servicer in an
involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in
effect, or

                                      51
<PAGE>

another present or future, federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
or other similar official of the Master Servicer or of any substantial part
of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of
the Master Servicer or the commencement of an involuntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereinafter in effect, or another present
or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law and such
case is not dismissed within 60 days; or

                  (d) The commencement by the Master Servicer of a voluntary
case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any
other present or future, federal or state, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law, or the consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
or other similar official of the Master Servicer or of any substantial part of
its property or the making by the Master Servicer of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or the failure by the Master Servicer generally to pay its
debts as such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Master
Servicer in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

                  (e) Any representation, warranty or certification of the
Master Servicer made in this Agreement or any Basic Document or any certificate,
report or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to be
incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been
made, and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement has a
material adverse effect on the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the Series
Trust Estate or the Insurer and, within 60 days after written notice thereof
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the
Insurer or after discovery thereof by the Master Servicer, the circumstances or
condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was
incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured; or

                  (f)   An Event of Default (as defined in the Insurance
Agreement) shall have occurred; or

                  (g)   A demand for payment shall be made by the Indenture
Trustee under the Note Policy; or

                  (h) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer to deliver a
Master Servicer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee as required by Section
4.9 hereof on or prior to the Business Day prior to any Distribution Date.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of
performance under Section 10.1(a) for a period of three Business Days or
under Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(f) for a period of 60 days, shall not
constitute a Master Servicer Termination Event if such delay or failure could
not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Master
Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God, acts of
declared or undeclared war, terrorism, public disorder, rebellion or
sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes,
floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Master
Servicer from using its best efforts to

                                      52
<PAGE>

perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee,
the Insurer and the Seller with an Officers' Certificate giving prompt notice
of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to
so perform its obligations.

            SECTION 10.2.  CONSEQUENCES OF A MASTER SERVICER TERMINATION
EVENT. If a Master Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee (to the extent a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee
has actual knowledge or has received written notice thereof), by notice given
in writing to the Master Servicer may, with the consent of the Insurer (for
so long as it is the Controlling Party), and shall, at the written direction
of the Controlling Party, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which
it is a party. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the
Receivables or the Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, automatically shall
pass to, be vested in, and become obligations and responsibilities, of the
Indenture Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed by the
Controlling Party pursuant to Section 10.3); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
successor Master Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any
obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Master
Servicer prior to the date that the successor Master Servicer becomes the
Master Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or
inaction of the terminated Master Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any
repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the terminated Master
Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any
other party involved in this transaction not expressly assumed by the Master
Servicer and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Master
Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior master servicer including
the original master servicer.

            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Indenture Trustee as successor Master Servicer and any
Successor Master Servicer, are authorized to accept and rely on all of the
accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Master
Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the "Predecessor Servicer
Work Product") without any audit or other examination thereof, and the
Indenture Trustee or Successor Master Servicer shall have no duty,
responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the
prior Master Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or
non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "Errors") exist in any
Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more
difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the
Indenture Trustee or Successor Master Servicer making or continuing any
Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), the Indenture Trustee or Successor
Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall have no duty, responsibility,
obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Indenture Trustee or Successor Master Servicer agrees to use its best
efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Indenture
Trustee or Successor Master Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued
Errors, such Indenture Trustee or Successor Master Servicer shall, with the
prior consent of (i) for so long as it is the Controlling Party, the Insurer,
or (ii) for so long as the Insurer is not the Controlling Party, Noteholders
representing 66-2/3% of the

                                      53
<PAGE>

outstanding Notes, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such
data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued
Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

            The successor Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by this
Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of the Owner Trust Estate and related
documents to show the Trust as lienholder or secured party on the related
Lien Certificates, or otherwise. The terminated Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in effecting the termination of
the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Master Servicer under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor
Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at
the time be held by the terminated Master Servicer for deposit, or have been
deposited by the terminated Master Servicer, in a Trust Account and the
delivery to the successor Master Servicer of all Receivable Files, Monthly
Records and Collection Records and a computer tape in readable form as of the
most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the
successor Master Servicer to service the Owner Trust Estate. If requested by
the Controlling Party, the successor Master Servicer shall direct the
Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to the successor
Master Servicer (in which event the successor Master Servicer shall process
such payments in accordance with Section 4.2(d) or 4.2(e), as applicable).
The terminated Master Servicer shall grant the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer
(for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and the successor Master
Servicer reasonable access to the terminated Master Servicer's premises at
the terminated Master Servicer's expense.

            SECTION 10.3.  APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) On and after the
time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
10.2 or upon the resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.6,
the Master Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under
this Agreement until the date specified in such termination notice or until
such resignation becomes effective or until a date mutually agreed upon by
the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (for as long as it
is the Controlling Party). The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as
possible after such termination or resignation appoint an Eligible Servicer
as a successor servicer (the "Successor Master Servicer") reasonably
acceptable to the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party), and
such Successor Master Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written
assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party). In the event that a
Successor Master Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its
appointment at the time when the Master Servicer ceases to act as Master
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be
appointed the Successor Master Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may, with the
consent of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party), delegate
any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with
Section 9.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if
it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint any

                                      54

<PAGE>

established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor
Master Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee or the Successor Master
Servicer, as the case may be, shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be
subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties,
liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise
stated herein. The Indenture Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer, as the
case may be, shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Successor Master Servicer
shall be subject to termination under Section 10.2 upon the occurrence of any
Master Servicer Termination Event applicable to it as Master Servicer.

                  (b) Subject to Section 9.6, no provision of this Agreement
shall be construed as relieving the Indenture Trustee of its obligation to
succeed as successor Master Servicer upon the termination of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2 or the resignation of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 9.6.

                  (c) Any Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to such
compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise)
equal to the compensation the Master Servicer would have been entitled to
under this Agreement if the Master Servicer had not resigned or been
terminated hereunder or such other amount as may be agreed to by the
Successor Master Servicer and the Insurer (for so long as it is the
Controlling Party). In addition, any Successor Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reasonable transition expenses incurred in acting as Successor
Master Servicer payable by the outgoing Master Servicer, and to the extent
such transition expenses have not been paid by the outgoing Master Servicer,
such Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
reasonable expenses pursuant to the Series Supplement.

            SECTION 10.4.  NOTIFICATION TO NOTEHOLDERS AND
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor
to, the Master Servicer the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to each Noteholder.

            SECTION 10.5.  WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Controlling Party or,
with the consent of the Controlling Party, a majority of the Noteholders may,
on behalf of all Securityholders, waive any default by the Seller or the
Master Servicer in the performance of their obligations hereunder and its
consequences, except the failure to make any distributions required to be
made to Noteholders or to make any required deposits of any amounts to be so
distributed. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease
to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.

            SECTION 10.6.  SUCCESSOR TO MASTER SERVICER. (a) The Indenture
Trustee, in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer, shall perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and each Related

                                      55
<PAGE>

Document with respect to the assumption of any servicing duties and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Indenture Trustee.

                  (b) In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part,
the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement and the Series Supplement; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions, which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same and to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Series
Supplement.

                  (c) The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any
actions taken or omitted by the terminated Master Servicer.

                                  TERMINATION

            SECTION 11.1.  OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL RECEIVABLES. (a) To the
extent and under the circumstances provided in the Series Supplement, the
Master Servicer shall have the option to effect a "clean-up" redemption or
purchase of the Series Trust Estate.

                  (b) Upon any sale of the assets included in the Series
Trust Estate permitted by the Series Supplement, the Master Servicer shall
instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such sale after
all payments and reserves therefrom (including the expenses of such sale)
have been made in the Collection Account.

                  (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given
by the Master Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer as soon as practicable after the Master Servicer has received notice
thereof.

                  (d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the
Indenture, the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes,
the satisfaction of all payment obligations under the Basic Documents and the
Insurance Agreement and termination of any Series Support (as provided
therein), the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the
Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of,
and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES OF THE MASTER SERVICER

            SECTION 12.1.  ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES.

                  (a) DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE INDENTURE. The Master Servicer
shall perform all its duties and the duties of the Issuer under the Indenture.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall consult with the Owner Trustee as the
Master Servicer deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under the
Indenture. The Master Servicer shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and
shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the
Issuer's duties under the Indenture. The Master Servicer shall prepare for
execution by the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate

                  Master Servicer.

                        (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any

                  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
