(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party 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 introduction, change or compliance (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 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

Section 2.14. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of each Loan and each Contract and all payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires any Taxes to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to any Secured Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after deducting or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on a Lender with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes as of the Closing Date (as the case may be).

(b) The Borrower will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a written invoice, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error, therefor is delivered to the Borrower.

(c ) Each Lender shall indemnify the Deal Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes in respect of Additional Amounts attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Deal Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any Taxes referred to in the last


35

sentence of Section 2.14(a) attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Deal Agent in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Deal Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Deal Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Deal Agent under this Section 2.14(c).

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Deal Agent 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 Deal Agent.

(e) The Borrower will notify each Lender on an annual basis of any payments by the Borrower in respect of any Taxes, not including those Taxes paid by Credit Acceptance on a consolidated basis.

(f) If a Lender is created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Deal Agent on or prior to the date on which such Xxxxxx becomes a Lender hereunder, two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(g) If a Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Deal Agent, (i) on or prior to the date hereof, or, if such Lender becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Laws), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, without (or at a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(g), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws or regulations to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, without (or at a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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


36

Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower and 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 Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of the funding hereunder, the Lenders are required to compensate a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this Section then within 10 days after demand by the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Lenders for any amounts paid by them.

(j) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(k) The Deal Agent and each Lender shall be required to deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower prior to the first Payment Date and at any time or times required by applicable law, (i) a correct, complete and properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or W-8EXP (with appropriate attachments), as applicable and (ii) any documentation that is required under FATCA or is otherwise necessary (in the sole determination of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, or other agent of the Borrower, as applicable) to enable the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any other agent of the Borrower to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold pursuant to such Code sections. In addition, the Deal Agent, each Lender and any other party receiving a payment hereunder will be deemed to understand that the Collateral Agent has the right to withhold on amounts payable (without any corresponding gross-up unless otherwise required under this Section 2.14), if required. The Borrower hereby covenants with the Collateral Agent that the Borrower will provide the Collateral Agent with sufficient information so as to enable the Collateral Agent to determine whether or not the Collateral Agent is obliged to make any withholding tax in respect of any payments (and if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to effectuate the withholding tax, such as setting forth applicable amounts to be withheld).

Section 2.15. Assignment of the Contribution 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. The Borrower confirms that the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to, at the written direction of the Deal Agent, enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Contribution Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties.


37

Section 2.16. Optional Purchase. On and after the Commitment Termination Date, the Servicer shall have the option, upon no less than 10 days’ prior written notice (or such lesser number of days reasonably acceptable to the Deal Agent) to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Deal Agent, to reacquire the Dealer Loans, the Purchase Loans and the related Collateral in whole but not in part. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to: (x) the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Loans, plus (y) the fair market value of any other Collateral, plus (z) sufficient funds to pay interest on the Notes through the date of redemption after giving effect to the application of Available Funds on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not exercise such option unless the purchase price paid by the Servicer and other funds held by the Borrower are sufficient to pay all Aggregate Unpaids under the Transaction Documents. Upon such deposit the Servicer shall succeed to all interests in and to the Collateral.

All filings (including, without limitation, such UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the interest of the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral have been made.

(o) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower (including without limitation, the Monthly Report and Credit Acceptance’s financial statements) to the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, Backup Servicer or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, will be true, correct, complete and accurate in every material respect, on the date such information is stated or certified.

have not been used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country.

(r ) Tradenames; Place of Business; Correct Legal Name. (i) Except as described in Schedule III, the Borrower has no trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or “doing business as” names or other names under which it has done or is doing business; (ii) the principal place of business and chief executive office of the Borrower are located at the address of the Borrower set forth on the signature pages hereto; and (iii) “Credit Acceptance Funding LLC 2019-2” is the correct legal name of the Borrower indicated on the public records of the Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization.

(s) Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower purchases Loans from the Originator.

(t) Value Given. The Borrower shall have given reasonably equivalent value to the Originator in consideration for the transfer to the Borrower of the Loans and Related Security under the Contribution Agreement, no such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Originator to the Borrower, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

(u) Accounting. The Borrower accounts for the transfers to it from the Originator of Loans and Related Security under the Contribution Agreement as sales or contributions to capital of such Loans and Related Security in its books, records and financial statements, in each case consistent with GAAP and with the requirements set forth herein.

(v) Special Purpose Entity. The Borrower is in compliance with Section 5.2(o) hereof.

(w) Confirmation from the Originator. The Borrower has received in writing from the Originator confirmation that, so long as the Borrower is not “insolvent” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, the Originator will not cause the Borrower to file a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Each of the Borrower and the Originator is aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Loan or any other assets of the Borrower available to satisfy claims of the creditors of the Originator would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

(x) Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not, and will not, as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, be required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act. In determining that the Borrower is not an “investment company,” the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Borrower. The Borrower is not a “covered fund” for purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly known as the “Xxxxxxx Rule.”


43

(y) ERISA. The present value of all benefits vested under all “employee pension benefit plans,” as such term is defined in Section 3 of ERISA, maintained by the Borrower, or in which employees of the Borrower are entitled to participate, as from time to time in effect (herein called the “Pension Plans”), does not exceed the value of the assets of the Pension Plan allocable to such vested benefits (based on the value of such assets as of the last annual violation date). No prohibited transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies, withdrawals or reportable events have occurred with respect to any Pension Plans that, in the aggregate, could subject the Borrower to any material tax, penalty or other liability.

Section 4.5. Breach of Representations and Warranties.

(a) Payment in respect of an Ineligible Loan or an Ineligible Contract. If a Loan or a Contract is an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract, no later than the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan or Contract being an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract and (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer or the Servicer of written notice thereof in accordance with Section 4.2(b) hereof, the Borrower shall, by the last day of the first full Collection Period following the discovery or notice thereof, make a payment to the Collection Account in respect of each such Loan or Contract in an amount equal to the related Release Price. Any such Loan or Contract shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract. The Borrower shall make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section 2.7) in immediately available funds of an amount (the “Release Price”) equal to: (A) in the case of an Ineligible Loan, the product of (x) the Outstanding Balance related to such Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (y) the Net Advance Rate in effect on the date of such payment; and (B) in the case of an Ineligible Contract, the product of (x) the Outstanding Balance related to such Contract as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (y) a ratio the numerator of which is the outstanding Capital as of the date of such payment and the denominator of which is the Outstanding Balance of all Contracts as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Ineligible Contracts, the Borrower may repurchase the Loans related thereto in lieu of such Ineligible Contracts and deposit into the Collection Account the Release Price of such Loans (as if such Loans were Ineligible Loans). Each Loan or Contract which is subject to a payment in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) shall, upon payment in full of the related Release Price, be released from the lien created pursuant to this Agreement and shall no longer constitute Collateral. 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 or Contract subject to a payment in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(b) Retransfer of All of the Loans. In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.2 hereof which breach could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, by notice then given in writing to the Borrower, the Deal Agent may direct the Borrower to accept the release by the Collateral Agent of all of the Loans (as directed in writing by the Deal Agent), in which case the Borrower shall be obligated to accept the release of such Loans on a Payment Date specified by the Deal Agent (such date, the “Release Date”). 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”)


49

for allocation and distribution in accordance with Section 2.7. 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 ) Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.5, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Backup Servicer shall have any enforcement obligation with respect to breaches of representations or warranties pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Backup Servicer shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Loan pursuant to this Agreement or the eligibility of any Loan for purposes of the Transaction Documents.

(d) Remedy for Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.2, 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).

(e) Application. Amounts paid in accordance with Section 4.5(a) and (b) shall be distributed on the next succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.7.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments required under Sections 4.5(a) and (b) and 6.2(c)(ii) shall not be required (i) during the Revolving Period, if the Collateral Amount is greater than the Minimum Collateral Amount and (ii) during the Amortization Period: (x) with respect to any Loan, so long as the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Loans which would be Ineligible Loans as a result of being subject to the foregoing payment obligations during the Amortization Period is less than the sum of: (1) the product of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Loans sold to the Borrower during the Amortization Period and (ii) the Net Advance Rate; and (2) all amounts payable under Section 4.5(a) which have been previously paid during the Amortization Period in respect of Ineligible Loans; and (y) with respect to any Contract, so long as the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Contracts which would be Ineligible Contracts as a result of being subject to the foregoing payment obligations or the payment obligations under Section 6.2(c)(ii) during the Amortization Period is less than the sum of: (1) the product of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts an interest in which is sold to the Borrower during the Amortization Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate Capital and the denominator of which is equal to the Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts; and (2) all amounts payable under Sections 4.5(a) and 6.2(c)(ii) which have been previously paid during the Amortization Period in respect of Ineligible Contracts.

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.

(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, 2019, 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 Deal Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that such firm (i) compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports delivered during such fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Deal 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.

issued in connection with such engagement, and the dissemination of any such report is subject to the written consent of the accountants.

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 initial Servicer, the initial 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; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to such appointment. 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 each 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.

(c ) (1) 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”); provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to such appointment. 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 Collateral Agent within two (2) Business Days preceding the


66

Closing Date or within two (2) Business Days after each Addition Date, as the case may be, with respect to each Loan acquired on the Addition Date.(ii) The Custodian shall within 180 days after the Closing Date or an Addition 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 Addition Date, as the case may be (each such Contract, a “Nonconforming Contract”), exceeds 2% of the aggregate number of 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 Release Price. 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. Payments otherwise required under this Section 6.2(c)(ii) shall not be required under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.5(f).

(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

(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” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) 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.


67

(v) Credit Acceptance shall have the obligation to (i) 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) 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.

Any payment in respect of which a dishonored check or other form of payment is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

(c ) Permitted Investments. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments by or at the written direction of the Borrower, provided that if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred, such amounts shall continue to be invested in Permitted Investments according to the last written direction received from the

Borrower. Absent written direction from the Borrower, then any funds in such accounts shall remain uninvested (without any requirement or liability to pay for interest or earnings). Any such written directions shall specify the particular investment to be made and shall certify that such investment is a Permitted Investment and is permitted to be made under this Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the Business Day prior to the next Payment Date, except that in the case of funds representing Collections with respect to a succeeding Collection Period, such Permitted Investments may mature so that such funds will be available no later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date for such Collection Period.

No statement need be made available for any account if no activity has occurred in such account during such period. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss, including without limitation any loss of principal or interest, or for any breakage fees or penalties in connection with the purchase or liquidation of any investment made in accordance with the written instructions of the Borrower.

In the event such independent public accountants require the Collateral Agent to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 6.1(c), the Servicer shall direct the Collateral Agent in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Collateral Agent has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

$1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (B) the full amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment; (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Deal Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall have agreed to reimburse the Deal Agent for all fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for each of the Deal Agent and any other Lenders incurred by the Deal Agent, any other Lenders, respectively, in connection with such assignment; (v) each Lender agrees that it will not engage in a general solicitation or general advertising; and (vi) there shall be no increased costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Deal Agent, any other Lenders upon such assignment or participation. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance by the Deal Agent and any other Lenders and the recording by the Deal Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the date of acceptance thereof by the Deal Agent and any other Lenders, unless a later date is specified therein, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iii) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such assignee appoints and authorizes each of the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and any other Lender to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (v) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c ) The Deal Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and


91

Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the amount of Capital (and Yield) owing to, each Lender (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.1(a), upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Deal Agent, and the Lenders shall each, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Deal Agent shall then (i) record the information contained therein in the Register and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to each Lender.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and its portion of the Capital and related Collateral); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Deal Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each participant shall have the rights of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under Sections 2.13 and 2.14; provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in excess of the amount that would have been payable under such Section by the Borrower to the Lender granting its participation had such participation not been granted, and no Lender granting a participation shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in an amount that exceeds the sum of (i) the amount to which such Lender is entitled under such Section with respect to any portion of the Capital that is not subject to any participation plus (ii) the aggregate amount to which its participants are entitled under such Sections with respect to the amounts of their respective participations, except, in each case, to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. With respect to any participation described in this Section 13.1, the participant’s rights as set forth in the agreement between such participant and the applicable Lender to agree to or to restrict such Xxxxxx’s ability to agree to any modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights that such Lender may have under or in respect of this Agreement shall be limited to the right to consent to any of the matters set forth in Section 14.1 of this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the amount of Capital (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the rights and obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to


92

establish that such obligation is in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Deal Agent (in its capacity as Deal Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.

(g) [Reserved.]

(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any 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 13.1(a) or Section 13.1(b).

(i) [Reserved.]

(j) Each Lender may at any time assign, or grant a security interest in or sell a participation interest in the Capital and the Collateral (or portion thereof) to any Person. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of participation interest, shall execute and deliver to the related Lender, for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the related Lender.

If any Secured Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Secured Party (other than payments received pursuant to Section 11.1 in a greater proportion than that received by any other Secured Party), such Secured Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of the Aggregate Unpaids


94

Section 14.4. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer or a Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

(e) In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Deal Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties:

(i) within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 30-day period, with respect to the creation of the Borrower’s security interest under the Contribution Agreement, in the Subsequent Conveyed Property (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) sold by Credit Acceptance to the Borrower during such calendar quarter (or in the case of the first such Opinion of Counsel, during the period from but excluding the Closing Date to September 30, 2019); and


98

(ii) within ninety (90) days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with 2020, an opinion of the counsel for Xxxxxxxx, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, the existing financing statement naming the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and any related continuation statement or amendment (the “Financing Statement”) will remain effective and no additional financing statements, continuation statements or amendments with respect to the Financing Statement (other than a continuation statement to be filed within the period that is six months prior to the expiration of the Financing Statement, as applicable) will be required to be filed from the date of such opinion through the date that is the one year anniversary of the date of such opinion to maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Collateral Agent as such lien otherwise exists on the date of such opinion. Such opinion of counsel shall (i) describe the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to preserve and protect the interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, until the 90th day in the following calendar year and (ii) specify any action necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken in the following calendar year to preserve perfection of such interest.

Section 14.14. Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or
