SECTION 4.02.

Rights Upon Event of Default.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, or if so requested in writing by Holders holding Notes representing at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, declare by written notice to the Issuer that the Notes have become due and payable, whereupon they shall become, immediately due and payable at 100% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes and accrued interest thereon (together with interest accrued at the relevant Note Rate on such overdue interest).

(b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Controlling Party, by written notice to the Issuer and the Servicer, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee (or the Administrator on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all payments of principal and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.9 of the Indenture.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 4.03.

Remedies.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to Section 11.17 of the Indenture, may exercise any of the remedies specified in Article V of the Indenture and, in addition, may do one or more of the following:

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under the Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture with respect to the Series Trust Estate;

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

(iv) sell the Series Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Series Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless:

(x) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or

(y) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Series Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of

principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or

(z) if the provisions of neither subparagraph (x) nor subparagraph (y) are satisfied, if the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (y), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Series Trust Estate for such purpose. Any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in obtaining such opinion shall be costs and expenses of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(ii) of this Series Supplement.

SECTION 4.04.

(a) On and after the maturity date of the Notes (by acceleration or otherwise), including, without limitation, on and after the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, all Available Funds, all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02 and any proceeds of the liquidation of all or any portion of the Series Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.03(iv) (which proceeds the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Administrator), shall be applied by the Administrator, based upon information most recently provided to it by the Servicer, on the date of distribution in the following order of priority:

THIRD: to Class A Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for interest, pro rata, in accordance with the amounts due and payable on the Class A Notes on the date of distribution for interest without preference or priority of any kind;

(b) The Administrator may fix a record date and distribution date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 4.04.

ARTICLE V

PREPAYMENT, REDEMPTION AND SUBSTITUTION

SECTION 5.01.

Optional “Clean-Up” Redemption.

On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the date upon which the Pool Balance shall have been reduced to an amount which is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer, HAFI and HACI shall each have the option to purchase the outstanding Receivables at a price equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amount for such Receivables; provided, however, such aggregate Repurchase Amount shall not be less than the then Aggregate Note Principal Balance, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other amounts owing to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer (if other than HSBC Finance) under the Related Documents (the “Redemption Price”). The Servicer, HAFI or HACI shall give the Servicer (if other than HSBC Finance), the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least 10 days irrevocable prior written notice of the date on which the Servicer, HAFI or HACI, as applicable, intends to exercise such option to purchase. Not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day prior to such Distribution Date, the Servicer, HAFI or HACI, as applicable, shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account in immediately available funds for distribution pursuant to Section 3.03. Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the aggregate Repurchase Amount described herein.

SECTION 5.02.

Optional Substitution.

(a) At any time the Servicer and HAFI shall each have the right, in their respective sole discretion, but not the obligation, to elect (by written notice sent to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee) to substitute in the place of any Receivable an Eligible Substitute Receivable or Receivables; provided that the aggregate Principal Balance of all Eligible Substitute Receivables substituted pursuant to this Section shall not exceed 2% of the Pool Balance as of the initial Cut-off Date; provided further that prior to any such substitution the Servicer shall give written notice to each Rating Agency of any such substitution.

(b) For any Collection Period during which the Servicer or HAFI substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Receivables, the Servicer shall determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount. The Servicer or HAFI, as applicable, shall deposit the Substitution Adjustment Amount in the Collection Account no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the end of the Collection Period in which such substitution occurs. The Servicer shall amend the Schedule of Receivables to reflect the

removal of any Receivable for which the Servicer or HAFI has made a substitution election pursuant to Section 5.02(a) from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Receivable or Receivables. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Receivable or Receivables shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have represented that each such Eligible Substitute Receivable or Receivables, as of the date of substitution, satisfies the Eligibility Criteria, to the extent such criteria do not pertain exclusively to the Receivables transferred on the Closing Date. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall, upon receipt by each of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an officer’s certificate from an officer of the Servicer certifying that the conditions in this Section 5.02(b) have been satisfied, take any action requested by the Servicer or HAFI, as the case may be, to effect the reconveyance of such Receivable for which the Servicer or HAFI, as the case may be, has made a substitution election so removed from the Series Trust Estate to the Servicer or HAFI, as the case may be. The procedures applied by the Servicer or HAFI in selecting each Eligible Substitute Receivable shall not be adverse to the interests of the Noteholders and shall be comparable to the selection procedures applicable to the Receivables originally conveyed hereunder.

(c) In the case of a substitution pursuant to this Section, upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (i) a Servicer’s Certificate to the effect that the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, has been so deposited in the Collection Account and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate reciting the transfer and assignment of the Eligible Substitute Receivable(s) to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment presented to it by the Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer or HAFI, as applicable, legal and beneficial ownership of such Receivable for which the Servicer has made a substitution election (including any property acquired in respect thereof or proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto).
