Funding of the Advance. (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 (an "Advance" or a "Funding"). The Deal Agent may act on behalf of and for the benefit of the VFCC Purchaser Group in this regard and each Liquidity Agent may act on behalf of and for the benefit of its Purchaser Group. Each CP Conduit may, in its sole discretion, make such Advance, or if a CP Conduit shall decline to make such Advance, the Liquidity Agent related to such CP Conduit shall make the Advance on behalf of the Investors related to such Purchaser Group, in each case, from time to time requested by the Borrower during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, (A) the aggregate Capital outstanding hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Limit and (ii) the Borrowing Base or (B) with respect to each Purchaser Group, the aggregate Capital funded or maintained by the Lenders in such Purchaser Group would exceed its Purchaser Group Facility Limit. (b) (i) The Borrower may, within 60 days, but no later than 45 days, prior to the then existing Commitment Termination Date, by written notice to the Deal Agent and each Liquidity Agent, make written request for the CP Conduits and the Investors to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days. Each Liquidity Agent will give prompt notice to its Purchaser Group of its receipt of such request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date. Each CP Conduit and each Investor shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, not less than 15 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 any CP Conduit or any Investor 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 such CP Conduit or Investor, as the case may be, to extend the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to each Purchaser Group, the Commitment Termination Date shall only be extended upon the consent of (i) the related CP Conduit and (ii) 100% of the related Investors. (ii) Any Investor which notifies the applicable Liquidity Agent of its refusal to consent to the extension or which does not expressly notify such Liquidity Agent that it is willing to consent to an extension of the Commitment Termination Date during the time period set forth in clause (b)(i) above shall be deemed to be a (x) Nonextending Investor after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect and (y) a "Dissenting Investor" from the date of its refusal notice or the end of the applicable time period set forth in clause (i) above and such Dissenting Investor's Commitment shall be zero. If an Investor has agreed to extend its Commitment Termination Date, and, at the end of the applicable time period set forth in clause (i) above no Termination Event shall have occurred, the Commitment Termination Date for such Investor then in effect shall be extended to the date which is 364 days following the first day of the time period set forth in clause (i) above or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day. 28 (iii) Within two Business Days following the end of the time period set forth in clause (i) above, the Liquidity Agent for each Purchaser Group shall notify each other Investor in such Purchaser Group, the Deal Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer of the identity of any Dissenting Purchaser and the amount of its Commitment, if any. The affected CP Conduit, may (but shall not be required to) request one or more other Investors in such Purchaser Group, with the consent of the related Liquidity Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), or seek another financial institution reasonably acceptable to such Liquidity Agent and, the affected CP Conduit in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor and all amounts payable to it hereunder. Each Dissenting Investor hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder to a replacement investor identified by the Liquidity Agent for its Purchaser Group in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Dissenting Investor's portion of the Capital, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder. (iv) If the Commitment of a Dissenting Investor is not assigned in accordance with subsection (b)(iii), (A) the Purchaser Group Facility Limit shall be reduced by the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor existing on the Commitment Termination Date; and (B) the Facility Limit shall be reduced by the Commitment of the Dissenting Investor existing on the Commitment Termination Date. The Capital outstanding on the date such Investor becomes a Dissenting Investor shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(viii). (c) The Notes. (i) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all amounts advanced by the Lenders pursuant to the Fundings shall be evidenced by a variable funding note of the Borrower for each Purchaser Group (each, a "Note") which shall: (1) be dated the Effective Date; (2) be in the stated principal amount equal to the Commitment Amount for such Purchaser Group (as reflected from time to time on the grid attached thereto); (3) bear interest as provided therein; (4) be payable to the order of JPMorgan and Wachovia for the account of the applicable Lenders, and mature on February 15, 2009; and (5) be substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The applicable Liquidity Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the schedule attached to each Note of the date and the amount of the Fundings and the date and amount of the payment of principal thereon, and prior to any transfer of a Note, the applicable Liquidity Agent shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of such Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however, that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect any Lender's rights with respect to such Note. (ii) Although the Notes shall be dated the Effective 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 each Note shall be equal to the Commitment Amount of the related Purchaser Group, such Note shall be enforceable with respect to the Borrower's obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the Capital outstanding thereunder at the time such enforcement shall be sought. 29 Section 2.2. Grant of Security Interest; Acceptance by Collateral Agent. (a) (i) As security for the prompt and complete payment of the Notes and the performance of all of the Borrower's obligations under the Notes, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, without recourse except as provided herein, a security interest in and continuing Lien on all of the Borrower's property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) including, without limitation, all of its right, title and interest to: (i) the Loans, and all monies due or to become due in payment thereupon on and after the related Cut-Off Date; (ii) all Related Security; and (iii) all income and Proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral"). The foregoing pledge does not constitute an assumption by the Collateral Agent of any obligations of the Borrower to Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, any obligation to make future advances to or on behalf of such Obligors. (ii) In connection with such grant, the Borrower agrees to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements with respect to the Collateral now existing and hereafter created meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the first priority security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filing to the Collateral Agent, each Liquidity Agent and the Deal Agent on or prior to each Funding Date. 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. (iii) In connection with such pledge, the Borrower agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent on the Closing Date or any Funding Date on which new Pools are pledged to the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, one or more computer files containing true and complete lists of all Dealer Agreements, Pools and Loans securing the payment of the Notes and amounts due under the Transaction Documents and all of the Borrower's obligations under the Notes and the Transaction Documents as of the Closing Date or Funding Date, and all Contracts securing all such Loans, identified by account number, dealer number, and pool number and Outstanding Balance as of the Funding Date. Such file shall be marked as Schedule V hereto or as an addendum thereto, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent as confidential and proprietary, and such Schedule V and each addendum thereto are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. (iv) In connection with such pledge, each of the Borrower, Credit Acceptance and the Servicer also agrees, within 180 days of the Closing Date or relevant Funding Date, as the case may be, to clearly mark at least 98% of the Contracts or Contract folders securing a Loan with the following legend: "THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN PLEDGED TO WACHOVIA CAPITAL MARKETS, LLC AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR 30 THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN SECURED PARTIES". Such legend shall be in bold, in type face at least as large as 12 point and shall be entirely in capital letters. (b) The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges its acceptance, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the pledge by the Borrower of the Loans and all other Collateral. The Collateral Agent further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower delivered to the Collateral Agent the computer file or microfiche list represented by the Borrower to be the computer file or microfiche list described in Section 2.2(a)(iii). (c) The Collateral Agent hereby agrees not to disclose to any Person (including any Secured Party) any of the account numbers or other information contained in the computer files or microfiche lists delivered to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii), except as is required in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or in enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties or to a Successor Servicer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may reply to a request from any Person for a list of Loans, Dealer Agreements, Contracts or other information referred to in any financing statement. 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 Collateral Agent shall provide the Borrower with written notice five Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c). Section 2.3. Procedures for Funding of Advances. (a) Each Advance hereunder shall be requested by the Borrower delivering to the Deal Agent and the Liquidity Agents (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) a duly completed Funding Notice no later than 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date. 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 $10,000 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 shall be allocated pro rata among each Purchaser Group based upon the aggregate Commitments related to each Purchaser Group as a percentage of the Total Commitment. Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable. (b) Following receipt of such Funding Notice, the Deal Agent, in the case of the VFCC Purchaser Group, and each Liquidity Agent, in the case of each other Purchaser Group, will consult with VFCC, or the related CP Conduit, as applicable, in order to assist VFCC or the CP Conduit, as applicable, in determining whether or not to make the Advance. If a CP Conduit decides in its sole discretion that it is unwilling or unable to make a proposed Advance, the Investors related to such CP Conduit will make such Advance. Each CP Conduit shall notify its Liquidity Agent by 10:00 am (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date whether it has elected to effect the proposed Funding and each Liquidity Agent will notify the related Investors by 11:00 am (New York City time) on such Funding Date if the related CP Conduit has elected not to effect all or a portion of the proposed Funding. On the Funding Date, the CP Conduit or Investors shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Borrower in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably 31 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 from such Purchaser Group for such Advance or (B) the excess of the total Commitments related to such Purchaser Group over such Purchaser Group's portion of Capital then outstanding. (c) In the event that notwithstanding the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III hereof with respect to a Funding, a CP Conduit elected to make a Funding on a Funding Date but failed to make such amount available to the Borrower on such date, such CP Conduit shall be deemed to have rescinded its election to make such purchase, and neither the Borrower nor any other party shall have any claim against such CP Conduit by reason of its failure to timely effect such Funding. In any such case, the Liquidity Agent for the related Purchaser Group shall give notice of such failure not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date to each Investor for such CP Conduit and to the Borrower, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such CP Conduit and (ii) the amount of the Funding which it had elected but failed to make. Subject to receiving such notice, each of such CP Conduit's Investors shall effect such funding on such Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. (d) In no event shall an Investor be required on any date to make any Funding which would result in its portion of the Capital, determined after giving effect to such funding, exceeding its Commitment. (e) On the Effective Date, PARCO shall purchase from VFCC a portion of VFCC's Capital (the "Purchased Capital") in an amount equal to $32,153,846.15 by depositing such amount on the Effective Date in immediately available funds to an account previously designated by VFCC to PARCO. On and after the Effective Date, the Purchased Capital shall be Capital of the PARCO Purchaser Group and shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate applicable to the PARCO Purchaser Group. On the Effective Date, the Capital of VFCC shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Purchased Capital. Section 2.4. Determination of Yield. The Deal Agent, with respect to the VFCC Purchaser Group, and the related Liquidity Agent with respect to each other Purchaser Group, shall initially determine the applicable Yield Rate and the Yield (including unpaid Yield, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower with respect to the Advance on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer and the Backup Servicer thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date. Prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, the Deal Agent, on behalf of the VFCC Purchaser Group and each Liquidity Agent, with respect to its Purchaser Group, shall determine the amount of Yield, if any, payable in connection with Section 2.16(a)(iv) and not previously paid. The amount owed in respect of the Yield for the next succeeding Accrual Period, as initially determined by the Deal Agent, or Liquidity Agent, as applicable shall be increased, if necessary and as appropriate, to reflect any Yield payable in connection with Section 2.16(a)(iv) and not previously paid. Section 2.5. Reduction of the Facility Limit and a Purchaser Group Facility Limit; Repurchase. 32 (a) The Borrower may, upon at least two (2) Business Days' notice to the Deal Agent and each Liquidity Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Limit that exceeds the aggregate Capital. With respect to any such reduction, (a) the Commitments of the Investors within each Purchaser Group shall be reduced proportionately based upon the total Commitments of such Purchaser Group and (b) each Purchaser Group Facility Limit shall be reduced pro rata based upon the Purchaser Group Facility Limit as a percentage of the Facility Limit; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit 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(a) shall be irrevocable. (b) In the event that an Investor is a Downgraded Investor, the related CP Conduit shall have the right to replace such Investor with a replacement Investor consented to by the Borrower (which consent shall not be withheld except for a commercially reasonable purpose or reason), which replacement Investor shall succeed to the rights of such Investor under this Agreement in respect of its Commitment as an Investor, and such Investor shall assign such Commitment and its interest in the Capital to such replacement Investor in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5(b); provided, that (A) such Investor shall not be replaced hereunder with a new investor until such Investor has been paid in full its outstanding portion of the Capital and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon by such new investor and all other amounts owed to it pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this subsection, an Investor shall be a "Downgraded Investor" if and so long as the credit rating assigned to its short-term obligations by Moody's or Standard & Poor's on the date on which it became a party to this Agreement shall have been reduced or withdrawn, or as may be otherwise agreed among the Borrower, such Investor, the CP Conduit in its Purchaser Group and the Deal Agent. Section 2.6. Actions with Respect to Advance. The Deal Agent, with respect to the VFCC Purchaser Group, and the related Liquidity Agent with respect to each other Purchaser Group may, with the consent of the Lender that has funded the Advance, take any of the following actions at any time with respect to the Advance: (i) divide the Advance funded by such Lender into two or more portions of having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Advance; (ii) combine one portion of the Advance funded by such Lender with another portion of the Advance funded by such Lender with an Accrual Period ending on the same day, creating a new Advance having Capital equal to the Capital of the two portions of Advances combined or (iii) combine an Advance funded by such Lender with the Advance to be funded on such day by such Lender, creating a new Advance having Capital equal to the Capital of the two Advances combined. Section 2.7. Settlement Procedures. (a) On each Payment Date, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw Available Funds and any Excess Reserve Amount and Servicer Advances (to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7(c)) and investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account from the Collection Account and allocate and distribute such amounts to the applicable Person in the following order of priority: (i) FIRST, to the Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to any Hedge Costs (exclusive of termination payments) and any such Hedge Costs (exclusive of termination payments) unpaid from any prior Payment Date. 33 (ii) SECOND, to the Servicer, an amount equal to any Unreimbursed Servicer Advances; (iii) THIRD, to the Backup Servicer so long as it has not become the Servicer hereunder, an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid Backup Servicing Fee due in respect of such Payment Date, any unpaid Backup Servicing Fee from any prior Payment Date, any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in SST's capacity as Backup Servicer, and any accrued and unpaid Indemnified Amounts owed by the Borrower to SST up to $17,000, monthly; (iv) FOURTH, (A) to the Servicer, an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees due in respect of such Payment Date and any Servicing Fees unpaid from any prior Payment Date; provided, however, if the Servicer has been replaced pursuant to Section 6.12 such amount shall not exceed the Capped Servicing Fee; and (B) to the Backup Servicer, if it has become the Successor Servicer, any Transition Expenses; (v) FIFTH, to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of any accrued and unpaid (A) Yield and Breakage Costs, (B) the Program Fee, and (C) the Facility Fee, Increased Costs and any Additional Amounts due in respect of such Payment Date and any such amounts unpaid from any prior Payment Date; (vi) SIXTH, during the Revolving Period, to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the Monthly Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date; (vii) SEVENTH, to any Successor Servicer, an amount equal to Reliening Expenses; (viii) EIGHTH, (i) during the Revolving Period with respect to each Dissenting Investor, pro rata, an amount equal to its outstanding Capital until such Dissenting Investor's Capital has been reduced to zero and (ii) during the Amortization Period, to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata, the Additional Principal Payment Amount, until Capital has been reduced to zero; (ix) NINTH, to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lenders and the Backup Servicer, an amount equal to Increased Costs, any Additional Amounts and Indemnified Amounts (provided that, with respect to the Backup Servicer, such Indemnified Amounts shall include only those Indemnified Amounts not paid pursuant to clause THIRD above) due in respect of such Payment Date and unpaid from any prior Payment Date; (x) TENTH, to the Reserve Account, (A) an amount equal to any outstanding Reserve Advances and (B) the amount necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Required Reserve Account Amount (after giving effect to any deposits made in subclause (A)); (xi) ELEVENTH, to the Backup Servicer, any Servicing Fee due in respect of such Payment Date, to the extent not paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above and any such Servicing Fee unpaid from any prior Payment Date; 34 (xii) TWELFTH, to the Deal Agent for the account of any other applicable Person, all remaining amounts up to all Aggregate Unpaids (during the Revolving Period, other than Capital) until paid in full; (xiii) THIRTEENTH, to the Borrower any remaining amounts. (b) One Business Day per calendar month, the date of which is to be chosen by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall, upon two 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 Lenders, to be distributed by the Deal Agent to the Lenders, pro rata, as a payment in reduction of Capital. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(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 an Officer of the Servicer or a representative of the Servicer designated by an 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 2.7(a)(i) through (xii). (c) (i) If on any Payment Date the amount paid pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(v) and (vi) 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 Lenders.

The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on a Lender or the Deal Agent, respectively, with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender or Deal Agent is organized, conducts business or is paying taxes as of the Effective Date (as the case may be).

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 Capital and 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 2.16(a)(iv), the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro-rata reduction of the Capital, second to the payment of accrued Yield on the amount of Capital to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lenders, and third to pay any Hedge Costs related to such reduction of the Capital due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty, and fourth to pay all other Aggregate Unpaids related to such reduction of the Capital due to the relevant party.

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.

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 accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in 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. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Records and any amounts it receives in respect of the Collateral.

(c) (i) The Borrower, Deal Agent and 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 (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the "Custodian").

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 Capital 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.

(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 68 (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 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 from the other custodial files it is holding for its own account or on behalf of any other Person and (ii) to physically mark the Contract folders to demonstrate the transfer of Contract Files and the Collateral Agent's security interest hereunder. (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, and to the extent such costs are not paid by the Servicer such unpaid costs shall be recovered as described in Section 2.7 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 Agreement 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 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 and any Liquidity 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 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 69 Deal Agent or any Liquidity Agent may conduct such reviews and audits without limitation, at the Servicer's expense.

(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 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.

Section 14.13. Confidentiality; Tax Treatment Disclosure.

In addition, the Secured Parties, the Liquidity Agents, the Backup Servicer and the Deal Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

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 written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the Originator to the Deal Agent and the Lenders.
