All of the assets and rights transferred and to be transferred pursuant to this Section   2.1(a) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the " Purchased Assets " and the sales, transfers, assignments and conveyances of the Purchased Assets contemplated by this Section   2.1(a) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the " Conveyances ". The Purchased Assets shall not include any right to enforce payment of the Mortgage Files and other instruments, documents and agreements relating to the Home Equity Loans (the " Related Documents "). In the event the transactions set forth herein are characterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as a pledge or a secured financing rather than a sale, each Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor, and hereby does grant to the Depositor, a security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure all of such Seller’s obligations hereunder. For purposes of each such transfer, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. With respect to the Purchased Assets sold by each Seller to the Depositor, the Seller shall (and the Servicer shall cause the Seller to) file as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days following the Closing Date, in the appropriate public filing office or offices UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements describing such Purchased Assets and naming such Seller as the debtor and the Depositor as secured party, file appropriate continuation statements thereto, file amendments thereto in the case of a name change or change in corporate structure and file appropriate additional UCC financing statements, if any, if such Seller changes its jurisdiction of organization.

(b) In further consideration of the Purchase Price set forth in Section 3.1 , each Seller hereby agrees to assign to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Files evidencing and securing the Home Equity Loans, and all other Related Documents, pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement.

(c) In connection with the Conveyances and in compliance with the Transfer Agreement, each Seller agrees and confirms that it is entitled to retain possession of the applicable Mortgage Files and other Related Documents as long as (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt of HSBC Finance Corporation is assigned ratings of at least "BBB" by Fitch, "Baa3" by Moody’s and "BBB-" by Standard & Poor’s (or such lower rating acceptable and assigned by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch) and (ii) such Seller remains an Affiliate of HSBC Finance. At such time as either of the conditions specified in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 90 days thereafter in the case of clause (i) below and 60 days in the case of clause (ii) below, each Seller shall (i) either (x) record an Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust (which may be a blanket assignment if permitted by applicable law), with respect to each of the Home Equity Loans being serviced by such Seller in the appropriate real property or other records or (y) deliver to the Trustee the assignment of such Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in form for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that recording is not required to protect the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the related Home Equity Loans or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the

4

Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in the related Home Equity Loans, which Opinion of Counsel also shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies, the Trustee as evidenced by each in writing and (ii) unless an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies, the Trustee as evidenced by each in writing, is delivered to the Trustee to the effect that delivery of the Mortgage Files is not necessary to protect the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the related Home Equity Loans or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, in the related Home Equity Loans that will be prior to all other present or future claims in the related Home Equity Loans, deliver the related Mortgage Files to the Trustee to be held by the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Furthermore, each Seller hereby acknowledges that in the event that any loss is suffered by the Trustee in respect of a Home Equity Loan purchased by the Depositor as a result of such Seller’s retention of the Related Documents, such Seller will repurchase such Home Equity Loan from the Depositor simultaneously on or immediately after the Depositor repurchases such Home Equity Loan from the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d) In connection with the Conveyances, each Seller agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statement (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Home Equity Loans now existing and hereafter created, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyances of such Purchased Assets from such Seller to the Depositor, (ii) such financing statement shall name the appropriate Seller, as seller, and the Depositor, as purchaser, of the Purchased Assets and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings (excluding such continuation statements, which shall be delivered as filed) to the Depositor (or to the Trustee, if the Depositor so directs) promptly upon becoming available after the Closing Date with respect to the Home Equity Loans.

(e) Computer records are the customary and principal means by which the Sellers and the Depositor record the ownership of mortgage loans and other consumer receivables which HSBC Finance and its affiliates originate, own or service. Therefore, in connection with such Conveyances and in connection with each Seller’s transfers under the Transfer Agreement, each Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense, on or prior to the applicable Transfer Date with respect to the related Home Equity Loans and on or prior to the applicable Transfer Date with respect to the Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loans (i) indicate in its or its agent’s computer files or microfiche lists that the applicable Mortgage Files and Related Documents have been sold to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Purchased Assets related to the Home Equity Loans listed in Schedule 2 to this Agreement have been conveyed to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including an appropriate code for such Home Equity Loans in such computer file and microfiche list and (ii) deliver to the Depositor (or to the Trustee, if the Depositor so directs) a computer file or electronic or magnetic tape list containing a true and complete list of all such Home Equity Loans specifying for each such Home Equity Loan, as of the related Cut-Off Date with respect to such Home Equity Loan and as of the applicable Transfer Date with respect to each such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, (a) the account number, (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof, (c) the Loan Rate, (d) the lien position of the related Mortgage, and (e) the CLTV. Such

5

computer file or microfiche list shall be marked as Schedule 2 to this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Depositor (or to the Trustee, if so directed by the Depositor) as proprietary and confidential, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Each Seller further agrees to make the same indications in its or its agent’s computer files and the same deliveries to the Trustee as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.1(e) with respect to Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loans purchased by the Depositor and transferred to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and agrees not to alter the code referenced in clause (i) of this paragraph with respect to any of the Home Equity Loans purchased by the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless and until (x) the related Home Equity Loans have been reconveyed to the appropriate Seller or (y) the interest of the Trustee in the related Home Equity Loans has been released in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Prior to the earlier of the reconveyance of the related Home Equity Loans to the appropriate Seller, or the assignment of the Mortgage Documents and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Files to the Trustee pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the aforementioned computer files shall be the register for ownership of the Purchased Assets. Prior to the delivery by the registered owner to the Seller of the Trustee’s assignment of a Home Equity Loan, the Subservicer, Servicer, the Depositor, and each Seller may treat the Person registered in such computer records as the owner of the Purchased Assets for all purposes hereunder. In addition, each Seller shall maintain in its internal written records documents which indicate that the Purchased Assets have been sold to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement and that the Transferred Assets have been sold to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, pursuant to the Transfer Agreement. Furthermore, the Depositor shall maintain in its internal written records documents which indicate that the Purchased Assets have been sold to the Trustee, on behalf of the trust, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(f) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance to the Depositor of each Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or right of others from the Sellers to the Depositor and that the Purchased Assets shall not be part of the applicable Seller’s estate in the event of the insolvency of such Seller or a conservatorship, receivership or similar event with respect thereto.
