(a)(i) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2), the Borrower may, at its option, on the Closing Date and on any Funding Date request an advance of a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) pursuant to Section 2.3.  On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.2), the Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on a revolving basis from time to time as requested by the Borrower during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date.  Under no circumstances shall the Lender make a Revolving Loan if, after giving effect to the Funding of such Revolving Loan, the Aggregate Loan Amount would exceed the lesser of (i) the Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base.  As provided in Section 2.3 and subject to Section 2.10(e), each Funding of Revolving Loans shall consist of Eurodollar Loans.  Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event or the declaration of the Termination Date, the Borrower may not request and the Lender shall not be required to effect any Funding.
(b)    The Borrower may, within 180 days, but no later than 90 days, prior to the then existing Commitment Termination Date, by written notice to the Deal Agent and the Lender, make written request for the Lender to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional period as specified by the Borrower.  The Lender shall make a determination, in its sole discretion, not less than 30 days prior to the then applicable Commitment Termination Date as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender, or the Deal Agent on its behalf, to make a timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by the Lender to extend the Commitment Termination Date.  If the Lender agrees to extend the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with the Borrower’s request made pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b), the Commitment Termination Date then in effect shall be extended to the date that is the last day of the additional time period specified by Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b) or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day.

principal thereon, and prior to any transfer of the Note, the Lender shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of the Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however, that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect the Lender’s rights with respect to the Note.
(ii)    Although the Note shall be dated the Closing Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during which amounts are outstanding thereunder.  In addition, although the stated principal amount of the Note shall be equal to the Commitment, the Note shall be enforceable with respect to the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid Aggregate Loan Amount at the time such enforcement shall be sought.
Section 2.2.    Grant of Security Interest; Acceptance by Collateral Agent    .

Any such financing statement may describe as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral as described in this Agreement.  In addition, the Borrower and the Servicer agree to clearly and unambiguously mark their respective general ledgers and all accounting records and documents and all computer tapes and records to show that the Collateral, including that portion of the Collateral consisting of the Dealer Agreements listed on Schedule V hereto (and each addendum thereto), the Loans and the related Contracts and the rights to payment under the related Dealer Agreements, has been pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder.

The Collateral Agent agrees to take such measures as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrower to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information.

The Revolving Loans included in each Funding shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR.  The Borrower shall give all such Funding Notices to the Deal Agent (with a copy to the Lender) by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Deal Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given).  Each Funding Notice shall:  (i) specify the desired amount of such Funding which amount must (a) in the case of the initial funding hereunder (the “Initial Funding”) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and (b) in the case of any Incremental Funding, be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000

in excess thereof, (ii) specify the date of such Funding, and (iii) include a representation that all conditions precedent for a Funding described in Article III hereof have been met.  Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable.  No Funding of Eurodollar Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event then exists.  The Borrower agrees that the Deal Agent and the Lender may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any person the Deal Agent or the Lender in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Deal Agent or the Lender has acted in reliance thereon.
(b)    On the Funding Date, the Lender shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Borrower in same day funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Borrower in its Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Revolving Loan or (B) the excess of the Commitment over the Aggregate Loan Amount then outstanding.

(b)    Base Rate Loans.  Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Revolving Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the Borrower on each Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

The Deal Agent shall advise the Servicer on the second (2nd) Business Day after each Collection Period the amount of Interest, if any, due and payable on the related Payment Date.  Prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, the Deal Agent shall determine the amount of Interest, if any, payable in connection with Section 2.13(a)(iv) and not previously paid.  The amount owed in respect of the Interest for the next succeeding Interest Period, as initially determined by the Deal Agent shall be increased, if necessary and as appropriate, to reflect any Interest payable in connection with Section 2.13(a)(iv) and not previously paid.
Section 2.5.    Reduction of the Commitment    .  The Borrower may, upon at least two  (2) Business Days’ notice to the Deal Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Commitment that exceeds the Aggregate Loan Amount; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.  Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be irrevocable.

(viii)    EIGHTH, to any other applicable Person, all remaining amounts up to all Aggregate Unpaids (during the Revolving Period, other than the Aggregate Loan Amount) until paid in full; and
(ix)    NINTH, to the Borrower any remaining amounts.
(b)    One (1) Business Day per calendar month, the date of which is to be chosen by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall, upon two (2) Business Days' prior written request of the Borrower, withdraw from the Collection Account an amount not to exceed the amount on deposit therein on the date of such request.  The Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lender, to be distributed by the Deal Agent to the Lender, as a payment in reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.6(b) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to effect any such withdrawal or the Deal Agent make any such distribution until a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or a representative of the Servicer designated by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer has certified to the Collateral Agent and the Deal Agent in writing (which shall include electronic transmission) that it reasonably believes that at the end of the related Collection Period the sum of Available Funds and Excess Reserve Amount, after giving effect to such payment, will be greater than the amount needed to make the payments required pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) through (viii).
(c)    (i) If on any Payment Date the amount paid pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iii) and (iv) is insufficient to cover all amounts due thereunder on such Payment Date, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to the lesser of such shortfall and the amount of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account (such withdrawal, a “Reserve Advance”) and deposit such amount to the Collection Account.  The Collateral Agent shall pay such amount to the Deal Agent for payment to the Lender.
(ii)    If on any Payment Date during the Amortization Period, the amount paid pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(v) is insufficient to reduce the Aggregate Loan Amount to zero, the Deal Agent, in its sole discretion, may direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw any or all of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, and pay such amount to the Deal Agent, for payment to the Lender.
Section 2.7.    Collections and Allocations    .
(a)    Collections.  The Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections on deposit in the form of available funds in the Credit Acceptance Payment Account to the Collection Account by the close

(d)    Allocation of Collections.  The Servicer will allocate Collections monthly in accordance with the actual amount of Collections received.  The Servicer shall determine each month the amount of Collections received during such month which constitutes amounts which, pursuant to the terms of any Dealer Agreement, are required to be remitted to the applicable Dealer (such collections, “Dealer Collections”) and shall so notify the Collateral Agent.

The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder 3.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.  All computations of interest and all computations of Interest and other fees hereunder 

‐ 38 ‐

(b)    Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.
(c)    If the Revolving Loan requested by the Borrower for any Funding Date is not made or effectuated for any reason other than the Lender’s failure to honor its obligations hereunder, as the case may be, on the requested Funding Date, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lender, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits, net of anticipated profits in the reemployment of such funds in the manner determined by the Lender), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain the Funding.

(e)    The Borrower shall pay to Chapman and Cutler LLP, as counsel to the Deal Agent, on the Closing Date, its estimated reasonable fees and out‐of‐pocket expenses (which shall be evidenced by a detailed invoice) in immediately available funds and shall pay all additional reasonable fees and out‐of‐pocket expenses of Chapman and Cutler LLP within ten (10) Business Days after receiving a detailed invoice for such amounts.
Section 2.10.    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality    .  (a) If any Change in Law shall (A) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to the Revolving Loans made by it hereunder, or any right to make the Funding hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of 

‐ 39 ‐






the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting the Revolving Loans made by it hereunder or the Lender’s rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Change in Law shall occur regarding capital or liquidity requirements which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party or would otherwise result in the imposition of an internal capital or liquidity charge on such Affected Person as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such reduction or charge (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction suffered or charge imposed.  For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section 2.10(b).
(c)    In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Any Affected Party making a claim under this section shall submit to the Servicer a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(e)    At any time the Deal Agent or the Lender shall notify the Borrower that an event described in clause (b) of the definition of “LIBOR” has occurred, the Aggregate Loan Amount in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted LIBOR shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Loans.

If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority 

‐ 40 ‐






in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)  Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Deal Agent or the relevant Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)  Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Deal Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)  Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender.
(f)  Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Deal Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Deal Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.1 (relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Deal Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Deal Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Deal Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Deal Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Deal Agent under this paragraph (f).
(g)  Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed 

‐ 41 ‐






documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Deal Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W‐9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii)  executed originals of IRS Form W‐8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K‐1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E; or

‐ 42 ‐






(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‐8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‐8ECI, IRS Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K‐2 or Exhibit K‐3, IRS Form W‐9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K‐4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower and the Deal Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Deal Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Deal Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‐of‐pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such 

‐ 43 ‐






indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after‐Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)  Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
Section 2.12.        Assignment of the Contribution Agreement and the Hedging Agreement    .  The Borrower hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, the Hedging Agreement.  The Borrower confirms that the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, the Hedging Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
Section 2.13.    Take‐Out    .  (a) On any Business Day (the “Take‐Out Date”), but subject to the limitation contained in clause (d) below, the Borrower shall have the right to effect a Take‐Out and require the Collateral Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Contracts and Loans, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)    The Borrower shall have given the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Servicer at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to effect the Take‐Out, which notice shall be irrevocable; provided, however, failure to effect such Take‐Out on the Take‐Out Date shall not result in a Termination Event, but the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any Breakage Costs and any other losses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith.
(ii)    Unless the Take‐Out is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Take‐Out shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent an Officer’s Certificate, together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Deal Agent (which evidence may consist solely of the Officer’s Certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer) that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Take‐Out Date to effect the contemplated Take‐Out in accordance with this Agreement.  In 

‐ 44 ‐






effecting the Take‐Out, the Borrower may use the proceeds of sales of the Loans (which sales must be made in arm’s‐length transactions).
(iii)    After giving effect to the Take‐Out and the release to the Borrower of the Loans and related Contracts on the Take‐Out Date, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 and 4.2 hereof shall continue to be correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date and (y) neither an Unmatured Termination Event nor a Termination Event shall have resulted.
(iv)    On the Take‐Out Date, the Collateral Agent shall have received, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of:  (A) the Aggregate Loan Amount being paid plus (B) an amount equal to the related unpaid Interest to the end of the Interest Period plus (C) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other amounts due and owing to the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Successor Servicer, the Hedge Counterparties and the other Secured Parties, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent accrued to such date and to accrue thereafter (including, without limitation, Breakage Costs and Hedge Costs) plus (D) all other Aggregate Unpaids.  No such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any derivative transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Aggregate Loan Amount and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination.
(v)    Upon receipt of the amount set forth in Section 2.13(a)(iv), the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro‐rata reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount, second to the payment of accrued Interest on the amount of Aggregate Loan Amount to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lender, and third to pay any Hedge Costs related to such reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty, and fourth to pay all other Aggregate Unpaids related to such reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount due to the relevant party.

The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account on the Release Date an amount equal to: (A) the Aggregate Unpaids minus (B) the amount, if any, available in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account on such Payment Date (the “Retransfer Amount”) for allocation and distribution in accordance with Section 2.6.  On the Release Date, provided that the full Retransfer Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account, the Loans and Related Security related thereto shall be transferred to the Borrower; and the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver such instruments of transfer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be prepared and reasonably requested by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower to vest in the Borrower, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties in, to and under the Loans.
(c)    Remedy for Breach.  The parties hereto agree that the sole remedy for the breach by the Borrower of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2 hereof with respect to the eligibility of a Loan or Contract shall be set forth in this Section 4.5 and Section 6.2(c)(ii).

ARTICLE VI 
 
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS    
Section 6.1.    Servicing    .  (a) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint Credit Acceptance as servicer hereunder and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to manage, collect and administer each of the Loans and Contracts as Servicer.  In the event of a Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent shall have the right to terminate Credit Acceptance as servicer hereunder.  Upon termination of Credit Acceptance as servicer of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, the Deal Agent shall have the right to appoint a Successor Servicer and enter into a servicing agreement with such Successor Servicer at such time and exercise all of its rights under Section 6.3 hereof.  Such servicing agreement shall specify the duties and obligations of such Successor Servicer, and all references herein to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor Servicer.
(b)    The Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deposit all Collections to the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt.  The Servicer agrees to deposit all Collections to the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt.
(c)    On or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Borrower) to furnish a report to the Collateral Agent, the 

‐ 73 ‐






Deal Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that they have (i) compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports delivered during such fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Collateral Agent, with the information contained in the Loans, the Contracts and the Servicer’s records and computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such agreed upon procedures, such firm is of the opinion that the information contained in the Monthly Reports reconciles with the information contained in the Loans and the Contracts and the Servicer’s records and computer system and that the servicing of the Loans and the Contracts has been conducted in compliance with this Agreement and (ii) verified the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance as of the end of each Collection Period during such fiscal year, except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
Section 6.2.    Duties of the Servicer and Custodian    .  (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under the Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in material accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in material accordance with the Collection Guidelines and Credit Guidelines, it being understood that there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Loans and Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents.  In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same degree of care and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and loans which it services for itself or others.  Each of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Collateral.  If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan or a Contract (for purposes of collection or otherwise), or if in any enforcement or other legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan or a Contract, on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Loan or Contract or on similar grounds, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of enforcement, such Loan or Contract.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (and the Lender, if applicable) shall furnish the Servicer with an affidavit prepared by the Servicer that the Servicer may use in any such legal proceedings confirming the Servicer’s power and authority to sue and otherwise enforce the Loans and Contracts in its own name, consistent with this Section 6.2, and any powers of attorney or other documents prepared by the Servicer reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.  The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Records and any amounts it receives in respect of the Collateral.  In the event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the Successor Servicer and the Successor Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Collateral.
(b)    The Servicer, if other than Credit Acceptance, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Loan or a Contract.

‐ 74 ‐






(c)    (i) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby revocably appoint Credit Acceptance as custodian, and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment, to hold and maintain physical possession of the Contract Files and all Records (or with respect to any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, to maintain "control" (within the meaning of Section 9‐105 of the UCC) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof) (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the “Custodian”).  The Contract Files and Records are to be delivered to the Custodian or its designated bailee by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent within two (2) Business Days preceding the Funding Date or within 2 Business Days after each Addition Date, as the case may be, with respect to each Loan acquired on the Funding Date or Addition Date.
(ii)    The Custodian shall within 180 days after the Closing Date or Funding Date, as applicable, review 100% of the Contract Files to verify the presence of the original retail installment contract and security agreement and/or installment loans with respect to each Contract, provided, however, that the Certificate of Title or other evidence of lien with respect to a Contract need not be verified.  If the number of Contracts for which any of the foregoing documents have not been delivered to the Custodian within 180 days of the Closing Date or relevant Funding Date, as the case may be, or corrected (each such Contract, a “Nonconforming Contract”), exceeds 2% of the aggregate Contract Files required to be reviewed pursuant to this Section 6.2(c)(ii), the Borrower shall make a deposit to the Reserve Account only with respect to the excess number of Nonconforming Contracts, in an amount equal to the related Nonconforming Contract Payment Amount.  Once per month, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account in respect of Nonconforming Contracts shall be adjusted to account for increases or decreases in the excess number of Nonconforming Contracts and for changes in the Outstanding Balance of such Nonconforming Contracts.  The Borrower shall, in the case of an increase, promptly deposit to the Reserve Account the amount of any such increase.  In the case of a decrease, the amount of any such decrease shall be deemed to be part of the Excess Reserve Amount.  During the Revolving Period, payments required under this Section 6.2(c)(ii) shall not be required if the Aggregate Loan Amount is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base by the amount of the payment that would otherwise be required to be made by this clause.
(iii)    The Custodian agrees to maintain the Contract Files and Records which are delivered to it at the offices of the Custodian as shall from time to time be identified to the Deal Agent by written notice.  Subject to the foregoing, Credit Acceptance may temporarily (or permanently, in the case of a Contract that is repurchased, liquidated or paid in full) move or transfer to an agent of the Servicer individual Contract Files or Records, or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to allow the Servicer to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.
(iv)    The Custodian shall have the following powers and perform the following duties:
(A)    hold the Contract Files and Records for the benefit of the Secured Parties and maintain a current inventory thereof; and

‐ 75 ‐






(B)    carry out such policies and procedures in accordance with its customary actions with respect to the handling and custody of the Contract Files and Records so that the integrity and physical possession of the Contract Files and Records (or with respect to any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, the integrity and "control" (for UCC purposes) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof) will be maintained.
In performing its duties as custodian, the Custodian agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar Contracts or Loans owned or held by it for its own account or for any other Person.
(v)    Credit Acceptance shall have the obligation (i) to physically segregate the Contract Files (to the extent held in physical form) from the other custodial files it is holding for its own account or on behalf of any other Person, (ii) to physically mark the Contract folders (to the extent held in physical form) to demonstrate the transfer of Contract Files and the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder, (iii) mark its computer records indicating the transfer of any Contract Files relating to Contracts constituting electronic chattel paper and the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder, and (iv) with respect to each Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, cause the single “authoritative copy” (within the meaning of Section 9‐105 of the UCC) to be communicated to and maintained at all times by Credit Acceptance such that the “authoritative copy” constitutes an Authoritative Electronic Copy at all times.
(d)    (i) If (A) an Unsatisfactory Audit occurs or (B) a Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event occurs, the Deal Agent shall have the right to terminate Credit Acceptance as the Custodian hereunder and the Deal Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Custodian hereunder who shall assume all the rights and obligations of the “Custodian” hereunder.  On the effective date of the termination of Credit Acceptance as Servicer, Credit Acceptance shall be released of all of its obligations as Custodian arising on or after such date.  The Contract Files and Records shall be delivered by Credit Acceptance to the successor Custodian, on or before the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to such date.
(ii)    Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer and the Borrower shall, at the request of the Deal Agent, in its sole discretion, take all steps necessary to cause the Certificate of Title or other evidence of ownership of each Financed Vehicle to be revised to name the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as lienholder.  Any costs associated with such revision of the Certificate of Title (“Reliening Expenses”) shall be paid by the Servicer and, to the extent such costs are not paid by the Servicer, such unpaid costs shall be recovered as described in Section 2.6 hereof.  In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to expend funds in connection with this Section 6.2(d).
(iii)    The Custodian shall provide to the Deal Agent access to the Contract Files and Records and all other documentation regarding the Contracts, Dealer Agreements and the Loans and the related Financed Vehicles in such cases where the Collateral Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights 

‐ 76 ‐






or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge.
(e)    Two times per calendar year, at the expense of the Servicer, the Deal Agent may review the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with the Servicer’s written policies and procedures, as well as with this Agreement and, at the expense of the Deal Agent of the Lender, may conduct an audit of the Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts and Contract Files in conjunction with such a review.  On and after the occurrence of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent may conduct such reviews and audits without limitation, at the Servicer’s expense.
Section 6.3.    Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer    .  At any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 6.12(a):
(i)    The Collateral Agent may intercept payments made by or on behalf of Obligors and direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Loan or Contract be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall pay to any Dealer, to the extent to which such Dealer is entitled, all related Dealer Collections.
(ii)    The Borrower shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, give notice of the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Loans and Contracts to each Obligor and direct that payments be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
(iii)    The Borrower and Credit Acceptance shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral, including all Records with respect to the Loans and Contracts, and shall make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but in any event within two (2) Business Days, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
(iv)    The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take any and all steps in the Borrower’s name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all of the Collateral with respect thereto, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Loans and Contracts.
Section 6.4.    Responsibilities of the Borrower    .  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Loans and Contracts to the same extent as if a security interest in such Loans and Contracts had not been granted hereunder and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations 

‐ 77 ‐






and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including without limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Loans or Contracts and their creation and satisfaction.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.
Section 6.5.    Reports    .

(b)    Credit Acceptance has assigned all of its rights under any Dealer Collections Purchase Agreements to the Borrower pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.  Upon the payment by Credit Acceptance to the applicable Dealer under a Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement of the purchase price thereunder (the “Dealer Collections Purchase Price”), the related Dealer Loans (including the rights to the related Dealer Loan Collections thereunder) shall be deemed to be satisfied and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Dealer Loan Contracts securing such Dealer Loans shall be assigned by Credit Acceptance to Borrower as Purchased Loan Contracts and the loans thereunder shall be deemed Purchased Loans.  For the avoidance of doubt, all Collections on such Purchased Loan Contracts shall be included in Available Funds.  
(c)    On the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, Credit Acceptance shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a list identifying (A) all Dealer Loans satisfied as a result of such Dealer Collections Purchase, (B) each Dealer Loan Contract previously securing such Dealer Loans and (C)

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, or any participants to the extent provided in Section 12.1(b) hereof) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Upon the grant of a participation of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the Participant and the proportionate amount granted under such participation.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Nothing herein shall prohibit the Lender from pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Applicable Law and any such pledge or collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 12.1(a) or Section 12.1(b).
