(c)On or before the end of the second Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer, or its agent, or as frequently as may be otherwise requested, information on the Loans and related Contracts sufficient to enable the Backup Servicer to assume the responsibilities as successor servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and collect on the Contracts.

(d)The Servicer shall provide the Backup Servicer with any and all updates to the master file data layout and copy book information necessary due to system changes or modifications, which may require changes to the Backup Servicer’s applications necessary to read the Servicer’s Data File.

SECTION 2.2.Review and Verification.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary, on or before the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the Backup Servicer will review and confirm that the Servicer’s Certificate is readable and contains all information necessary for the Backup Servicer to complete its duties pursuant to this Section 2.2, and shall review the Servicer’s Certificate to verify the following based solely on a recalculation of information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate:

28307632.2

(b)The Backup Servicer shall, on or before the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date with respect to any Collection Period, review the Servicer’s Certificate against the information on the Servicer’s Data File, to verify the following: the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance and the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Contracts as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Collection Period (in each case, calculated separately for Purchased Loans, Dealer Loans and all Loans in the aggregate).

(c)The Backup Servicer shall provide written notice to the Trust Collateral Agent and Indenture Trustee with respect to whether there are any inconsistencies or deficiencies with respect to its review and verification set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above and, if any, shall provide a description thereof as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, as calculated by the Servicer, from that determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer and, if within five (5) days of such notice being provided to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to resolve such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Trust Collateral Agent and Indenture Trustee of such discrepancy.

The Backup Servicer shall only review the information provided by the Servicer in the Servicer’s Certificate and in the Servicer’s Data File and its obligation to report any inconsistencies shall be limited to those determinable from such information.

(d)Other than as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability (collectively “Liability”) for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer.

(e)The Backup Servicer shall consult with the Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform or carry out the Backup Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including the obligation, if requested in writing by the Trust Collateral Agent, to succeed within sixty (60) days (or such earlier number of days as may be agreed to by the Backup Servicer) to the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3.

28307632.2

Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the successor Servicer shall have no Liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the successor Servicer against any Liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In the event the successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors and/or Continued Errors which, in the opinion of the successor Servicer impairs its ability to perform its services hereunder, the successor Servicer: (i) shall promptly notify the Servicer of such Errors and/or Continued Errors; and (ii) shall use best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and/or Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer and to the extent not reimbursed by the Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursed by the Issuer as successor Servicer expenses pursuant to Section 5.08(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.2 of the Indenture, as applicable.

(g)The Backup Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Issuer, jointly and severally, from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses, including, without limitation, costs and expenses (including any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses and court costs) incurred in connection with (i) any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit brought) by the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer or the Issuer or any other Person, and (ii) a successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim that the Backup Servicer breached its standard of care) arising out of claims asserted against the Backup Servicer on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the Assumption Date, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall be paid to the Backup Servicer until such time as such court enters a judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence, at which time the Backup Servicer shall, to the extent required pursuant to such court’s determination, promptly return to the Servicer any such indemnification amounts so received but not owed and any other amounts as determined by such court. The obligations of the Servicer and the Issuer under this Section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Backup Servicer.

(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer’s Data File or the Servicer’s Certificate does not contain sufficient information for the Backup Servicer to perform any action hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer of any additional information to be delivered by the Servicer to the Backup Servicer, and the Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall mutually agree upon the form thereof; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for the performance of any action unable to be taken hereunder without such additional information until it is received from the Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on written notice with respect to the occurrence of any Indenture Default, Indenture Event of Default, Early Amortization Event, Automatic Amortization Event, Discretionary Amortization Event, Declared

28307632.2

SECTION 2.3.Assumption of Servicer’s Obligations.

(a)The Backup Servicer agrees that within sixty (60) days (or such earlier number of days as may be agreed to by the Backup Servicer) of receipt of a written notice from the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) of the termination of the rights and obligations of Credit Acceptance as Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and without further notice, the Backup Servicer shall, subject to the exclusions stated herein, assume the Service-Related Activities of Credit Acceptance under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “Assumption Date”) and further agrees that it shall assume all such Service-Related Activities in accordance with the requirements, terms and conditions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(c)Except as provided in Section 4.3 hereof, the Backup Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as successor Servicer or as Backup Servicer, as applicable, except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Backup Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Majority Noteholders.
