NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of actual results achieved for full fiscal years. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2021 for items that could potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. For additional information regarding subsequent events, see Note 16.

2.           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Since 1972, Credit Acceptance has offered financing programs that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers, regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.

Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing.

We refer to automobile dealers who participate in our programs and who share our commitment to changing consumers’ lives as “Dealers”. Upon enrollment in our financing programs, the Dealer enters into a Dealer servicing agreement with us that defines the legal relationship between Credit Acceptance and the Dealer. The Dealer servicing agreement assigns the responsibilities for administering, servicing, and collecting the amounts due on retail installment contracts (referred to as “Consumer Loans”) from the Dealers to us. We are an indirect lender from a legal perspective, meaning the Consumer Loan is originated by the Dealer and assigned to us.

Substantially all of the Consumer Loans assigned to us are made to consumers with impaired or limited credit histories. The following table shows the percentage of Consumer Loans assigned to us with either FICO® scores below 650 or no FICO® scores:

We have two programs: the Portfolio Program and the Purchase Program. Under the Portfolio Program, we advance money to Dealers (referred to as a “Dealer Loan”) in exchange for the right to service the underlying Consumer Loans. Under the Purchase Program, we buy the Consumer Loans from the Dealers (referred to as a “Purchased Loan”) and keep all amounts collected from the consumer. Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans are collectively referred to as “Loans”. The following table shows the percentage of Consumer Loans assigned to us as Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans for each of the last six quarters:

(1)Represents advances paid to Dealers on Consumer Loans assigned under our Portfolio Program and one-time payments made to Dealers to purchase Consumer Loans assigned under our Purchase Program. Payments of Dealer Holdback (as defined below) and accelerated Dealer Holdback are not included.

Portfolio Program

As payment for the vehicle, the Dealer generally receives the following:
a down payment from the consumer;
a non-recourse cash payment (“advance”) from us; and
after the advance balance (cash advance and related Dealer Loan fees and costs) has been recovered by us, the cash from payments made on the Consumer Loan, net of certain collection costs and our servicing fee (“Dealer Holdback”).

We record the amount advanced to the Dealer as a Dealer Loan, which is classified within Loans receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Cash advanced to the Dealer is automatically assigned to the Dealer’s open pool of advances. Dealers make an election as to how many Consumer Loans (either 50 or 100) will be assigned to an open pool before it is closed, and subsequent advances are assigned to a new pool. Unless we receive a request from the Dealer to keep a pool open, we automatically close each pool based on the Dealer's election. All advances within a Dealer’s pool are secured by the future collections on the related Consumer Loans assigned to the pool. For Dealers with more than one pool, the pools are cross-collateralized so the performance of other pools is considered in determining eligibility for Dealer Holdback. We perfect our security interest with respect to the Dealer Loans by obtaining control or taking possession of the Consumer Loans, which list us as lien holder on the vehicle title.

The Dealer servicing agreement provides that collections received by us during a calendar month on Consumer Loans assigned by a Dealer are applied on a pool-by-pool basis as follows:
first, to reimburse us for certain collection costs;
second, to pay us our servicing fee, which generally equals 20% of collections;
third, to reduce the aggregate advance balance and to pay any other amounts due from the Dealer to us; and
fourth, to the Dealer as payment of Dealer Holdback.

If the collections on Consumer Loans from a Dealer’s pool are not sufficient to repay the advance balance and any other amounts due to us, the Dealer will not receive Dealer Holdback. Certain events may also result in Dealers forfeiting their rights to Dealer Holdback, including becoming inactive before assigning 100 Consumer Loans.

Dealers have an opportunity to receive an accelerated Dealer Holdback payment each time a pool of Consumer Loans is closed. The amount paid to the Dealer is calculated using a formula that considers the number of Consumer Loans assigned to the pool and the related forecasted collections and advance balance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Since typically the combination of the advance and the consumer’s down payment provides the Dealer with a cash profit at the time of sale, the Dealer’s risk in the Consumer Loan is limited. We cannot demand repayment of the advance from the Dealer except in the event the Dealer is in default of the Dealer servicing agreement. Advances are made only after the consumer and Dealer have signed a Consumer Loan contract, we have received the executed Consumer Loan contract and supporting documentation in either physical or electronic form, and we have approved all of the related stipulations for funding. 

For accounting purposes, the transactions described under the Portfolio Program are not considered to be loans to consumers. Instead, our accounting reflects that of a lender to the Dealer. The classification as a Dealer Loan for accounting purposes is primarily a result of (1) the Dealer’s financial interest in the Consumer Loan and (2) certain elements of our legal relationship with the Dealer.

Purchase Program

The Purchase Program differs from our Portfolio Program in that the Dealer receives a one-time payment from us at the time of assignment to purchase the Consumer Loan instead of a cash advance at the time of assignment and future Dealer Holdback payments. For accounting purposes, the transactions described under the Purchase Program are considered to be originated by the Dealer and then purchased by us.

Program Enrollment

Dealers may enroll in our Portfolio Program without incurring an enrollment fee. Access to the Purchase Program is typically only granted to Dealers that meet one of the following:

assigned at least 100 Consumer Loans under the Portfolio Program;
franchise dealership; or
independent dealership that meets certain criteria upon enrollment.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal with peak Consumer Loan assignments and collections occurring during the first quarter of the year.  This seasonality has a material impact on our interim results, as we are required to recognize a significant provision for credit losses expense at the time of assignment. For additional information, see Note 3.

3.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Segment Information

We currently operate in one reportable segment which represents our core business of offering financing programs that enable Dealers to sell vehicles to consumers, regardless of their credit history. The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results of our one reportable operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of readily marketable securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of three months or less. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $382.4 million and $15.7 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents that were not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash pledged as collateral for secured financings and cash held in a trust for future vehicle service contract claims. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $474.2 million and $376.9 million, respectively, in restricted cash and cash equivalents that were not insured by the FDIC.

Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents
$860.9 $396.2 $391.2 $517.7 

Restricted Securities Available for Sale

Restricted securities available for sale consist of amounts held in a trust for future vehicle service contract claims. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluate such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which we do not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale, and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Consumer Loan Assignment. For legal purposes, a Consumer Loan is considered to have been assigned to us after the following has occurred:
the consumer and Dealer have signed a Consumer Loan contract; and
we have received the executed Consumer Loan contract and supporting documentation in either physical or electronic form.

For accounting and financial reporting purposes, a Consumer Loan is considered to have been assigned to us after the following has occurred:
the Consumer Loan has been legally assigned to us; and
we have made a funding decision and generally have provided funding to the Dealer in the form of either an advance under the Portfolio Program or one-time purchase payment under the Purchase Program.

Portfolio Segments and Classes. Our Loan portfolio consists of two portfolio segments: Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans. Our determination is based on the following:
We have two financing programs: the Portfolio Program and the Purchase Program. We are considered to be a lender to our Dealers for Consumer Loans assigned under the Portfolio Program and a purchaser of Consumer Loans assigned under the Purchase Program.
The Portfolio Program and the Purchase Program have different levels of risk in relation to credit losses. Under the Portfolio Program, the impact of negative variances in Consumer Loan performance is mitigated by Dealer Holdback and the cross-collateralization of Consumer Loan assignments. Under the Purchase Program, we are impacted by the full amount of negative variances in Consumer Loan performance.
Our business model is narrowly focused on Consumer Loan assignments from one industry with expected cash flows that are significantly lower than the contractual cash flows owed to us due to credit quality. We do not believe that it is meaningful to disaggregate our Loan portfolio beyond the Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans portfolio segments.

Each portfolio segment consists of one class of Consumer Loan assignments, which is Consumer Loans originated by Dealers to finance purchases of vehicles and related ancillary products by consumers with impaired or limited credit histories. Our determination is based on the following:
All of the Consumer Loans assigned to us have similar risk characteristics in relation to the categorization of borrowers, type of financing receivable, industry sector and type of collateral.
We only accept Consumer Loan assignments from Dealers located within the United States.

Recognition and Measurement Policies. On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is known as the current expected credit loss model, or CECL. Loans outstanding prior to the adoption date qualified for transition relief and are accounted for as purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (“PCD Method”).

Under the PCD Method, on January 1, 2020, we:
calculated an effective interest rate based on expected future net cash flows; and
increased the Loans receivable and the related allowance for credit losses balances by the present value of the difference between contractual future net cash flows and expected future net cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. This “gross-up” did not impact the net carrying amount of Loans (Loans receivable less allowance for credit losses) or net income.

Under the PCD Method, for each reporting period subsequent to the adoption of CECL, we:
recognize finance charge revenue using the effective interest rate that was calculated on the adoption date based on expected future net cash flows; and
adjust the allowance for credit losses so that the net carrying amount of each Loan equals the present value of expected future net cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. The adjustment to the allowance for credit losses is recognized as either provision for credit losses expense or a reversal of provision for credit losses expense.

Consumer Loans assigned to us on or subsequent to January 1, 2020 do not qualify for the PCD Method and are accounted for as originated financial assets (“Originated Method”). While the cash flows we expect to collect at the time of assignment are significantly lower than the contractual cash flows owed to us due to credit quality, our Loans do not qualify for the PCD Method because the assignment of the Consumer Loan to us occurs a moment after the Consumer Loan is originated by the Dealer, so “a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination” has not occurred at the time of assignment. In addition, Dealer Loans also do not qualify for the PCD Method because Consumer Loans assigned to us under the Portfolio Program are considered to be advances under Dealer Loans originated by us rather than Consumer Loans purchased by us.

Under the Originated Method, at the time of assignment, we:
calculate the effective interest rate based on contractual future net cash flows;
record a Loan receivable equal to the advance paid to the Dealer under the Portfolio Program or purchase price paid to the Dealer under the Purchase Program; and
record an allowance for credit losses equal to the difference between the initial Loan receivable balance and the present value of expected future net cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. The initial allowance for credit losses is recognized as provision for credit losses expense.

Under the Originated Method, for each reporting period subsequent to assignment, we:
recognize finance charge revenue using the effective interest rate that was calculated at the time of assignment based on contractual future net cash flows; and
adjust the allowance for credit losses so that the net carrying amount of each Loan equals the present value of expected future net cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. The adjustment to the allowance for credit losses is recognized as either provision for credit losses expense or a reversal of provision for credit losses expense.

Loans Receivable.  Amounts advanced to Dealers for Consumer Loans assigned under the Portfolio Program are recorded as Dealer Loans and are aggregated by Dealer for purposes of recognizing revenue and measuring credit losses. Amounts paid to Dealers for Consumer Loans assigned under the Purchase Program are recorded as Purchased Loans and, for purposes of recognizing revenue and measuring credit losses, are:
not aggregated, if assigned on or subsequent to January 1, 2020; or
aggregated into pools based on the month of purchase, if assigned prior to January 1, 2020.

The outstanding balance of each Loan included in Loans receivable is comprised of the following:
cash paid to the Dealer (or to third party ancillary product providers on the Dealer’s behalf) for the Consumer Loan assignment (advance under the Portfolio Program or one-time purchase payment under the Purchase Program);
finance charges;
Dealer Holdback payments;
accelerated Dealer Holdback payments;
recoveries;
transfers in;
less: collections (net of certain collection costs);
less: write-offs; and
less: transfers out.

Under our Portfolio Program, certain events may result in Dealers forfeiting their rights to Dealer Holdback. We transfer the Dealer’s outstanding Dealer Loan balance and the related allowance for credit losses balance to Purchased Loans in the period this forfeiture occurs. We aggregate these Purchased Loans by Dealer for purposes of recognizing revenue and measuring credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The outstanding balance of the allowance for credit losses of each Loan represents the amount required to reduce net carrying amount of Loans (Loans receivable less allowance for credit losses) to the present value of expected future net cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. Expected future net cash flows for Dealer Loans are comprised of expected future collections on the assigned Consumer Loans, less any expected future Dealer Holdback payments. Expected future net cash flows for Purchased Loans are comprised of expected future collections on the assigned Consumer Loans.

Expected future collections are forecasted for each individual Consumer Loan based on the historical performance of Consumer Loans with similar characteristics, adjusted for recent trends in payment patterns and economic conditions. Our forecast of expected future collections includes estimates for prepayments and post-contractual-term cash flows. Unless the consumer is no longer contractually obligated to pay us, we forecast future collections on each Consumer Loan for a 120 month period after the origination date. Expected future Dealer Holdback payments are forecasted for each individual Dealer based on the expected future collections and current advance balance of each Dealer Loan.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
We fully write off the outstanding balances of a Loan and the related allowance for credit losses once we are no longer forecasting any expected future net cash flows on the Loan. Under our partial write-off policy, we write off the amount of the outstanding balances of a Loan and the related allowance for credit losses, if any, that exceeds 200% of the present value of expected future net cash flows on the Loan, as we deem this amount to be uncollectable.

Credit Quality.  Substantially all of the Consumer Loans assigned to us are made to individuals with impaired or limited credit histories. Consumer Loans made to these individuals generally entail a higher risk of delinquency, default and repossession and higher losses than loans made to consumers with better credit. Since most of our revenue and cash flows are generated from these Consumer Loans, our ability to accurately forecast Consumer Loan performance is critical to our business and financial results. At the time a Consumer Loan is submitted to us for assignment, we forecast future expected cash flows from the Consumer Loan. Based on these forecasts, an advance or one-time purchase payment is made to the related Dealer at a price designed to maximize our economic profit, a non-GAAP financial measure that considers our return on capital, our cost of capital and the amount of capital invested.

We monitor and evaluate the credit quality of Consumer Loans on a monthly basis by comparing our current forecasted collection rates to our initial expectations. We use a statistical model that considers a number of credit quality indicators to estimate the expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan at the time of assignment. The credit quality indicators considered in our model include attributes contained in the consumer’s credit bureau report, data contained in the consumer’s credit application, the structure of the proposed transaction, vehicle information and other factors. We continue to evaluate the expected collection rate of each Consumer Loan subsequent to assignment primarily through the monitoring of consumer payment behavior. Our evaluation becomes more accurate as the Consumer Loans age, as we use actual performance data in our forecast. Since all known, significant credit quality indicators have already been factored into our forecasts and pricing, we are not able to use any specific credit quality indicators to predict or explain variances in actual performance from our initial expectations. Any variances in performance from our initial expectations are the result of Consumer Loans performing differently from historical Consumer Loans with similar characteristics. We periodically adjust our statistical pricing model for new trends that we identify through our evaluation of these forecasted collection rate variances.

When overall forecasted collection rates underperform our initial expectations, the decline in forecasted collections has a more adverse impact on the profitability of the Purchased Loans than on the profitability of the Dealer Loans. For Purchased Loans, the decline in forecasted collections is absorbed entirely by us. For Dealer Loans, the decline in the forecasted collections is substantially offset by a decline in forecasted payments of Dealer Holdback.

Methodology Changes. On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL, which changed our accounting policies for Loans. During the first quarter of 2020, we reduced forecasted collection rates to reflect the estimated long-term impact of COVID-19 on Consumer Loan performance. For additional information, see Note 6. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not make any other methodology changes for Loans that had a material impact on our financial statements.

Finance Charges

Sources of Revenue. Finance charges is comprised of: (1) interest income earned on Loans; (2) administrative fees earned from ancillary products; (3) program fees charged to Dealers under the Portfolio Program; (4) Consumer Loan assignment fees charged to Dealers; and (5) direct origination costs incurred on Dealer Loans.

We provide Dealers the ability to offer vehicle service contracts to consumers through our relationships with Third Party Providers (“TPPs”). A vehicle service contract provides the consumer protection by paying for the repair or replacement of certain components of the vehicle in the event of a mechanical failure. The retail price of the vehicle service contract is included in the principal balance of the Consumer Loan. The wholesale cost of the vehicle service contract is paid to the TPP, net of an administrative fee retained by us. The difference between the wholesale cost and the retail price to the consumer is paid to the Dealer as a commission. Under the Portfolio Program, the wholesale cost of the vehicle service contract and the commission paid to the Dealer are charged to the Dealer’s advance balance. TPPs process claims on vehicle service contracts that are underwritten by third party insurers. We bear the risk of loss for claims on certain vehicle service contracts that are reinsured by us. We market the vehicle service contracts directly to our Dealers.

We provide Dealers the ability to offer Guaranteed Asset Protection (“GAP”) to consumers through our relationships with TPPs. GAP provides the consumer protection by paying the difference between the loan balance and the amount covered by the consumer’s insurance policy in the event of a total loss of the vehicle due to severe damage or theft. The retail price of GAP is included in the principal balance of the Consumer Loan. The wholesale cost of GAP is paid to the TPP, net of an administrative fee retained by us. The difference between the wholesale cost and the retail price to the consumer is paid to the Dealer as a commission. Under the Portfolio Program, the wholesale cost of GAP and the commission paid to the Dealer are charged to the Dealer’s advance balance. TPPs process claims on GAP contracts that are underwritten by third party insurers.

Program fees represent monthly fees charged to Dealers for access to our Credit Approval Processing System (“CAPS”); administration, servicing and collection services offered by us; documentation related to or affecting our program; and all tangible and intangible property owned by Credit Acceptance. We charge a monthly fee of $599 to Dealers participating in our Portfolio Program and we collect it from future Dealer Holdback payments. 

Recognition Policy. We recognize finance charges under the interest method such that revenue is recognized on a level-yield basis over the life of the Loan. We calculate finance charges on a monthly basis by applying the effective interest rate of the Loan to the net carrying amount of the Loan (Loan receivable less the related allowance for credit losses). For Consumer Loans assigned on or subsequent to January 1, 2020, the effective interest rate is based on contractual future net cash flows. For Consumer Loans assigned prior to January 1, 2020, the effective interest rate was determined based on expected future net cash flows.

In connection with the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we have elected to report the change in the present value of credit losses attributable to the passage of time as a reduction to finance charges. As a result, we allocate finance charges recognized on each Loan between the Loan receivable and the related allowance for credit losses. The amount of finance charges allocated to the Loan receivable is equal to the effective interest rate applied to the Loans receivable balance. The reduction of finance charges allocated to the allowance for credit losses is equal to the effective interest rate applied to the allowance for credit losses balance.

Reinsurance

VSC Re Company (“VSC Re”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, is engaged in the business of reinsuring coverage under vehicle service contracts sold to consumers by Dealers on vehicles financed by us. VSC Re currently reinsures vehicle service contracts that are offered through one of our third party providers. Vehicle service contract premiums, which represent the selling price of the vehicle service contract to the consumer, less fees and certain administrative costs, are contributed to a trust account controlled by VSC Re. These premiums are used to fund claims covered under the vehicle service contracts. VSC Re is a bankruptcy remote entity. As such, our exposure to fund claims is limited to the trust assets controlled by VSC Re and our net investment in VSC Re.

Premiums from the reinsurance of vehicle service contracts are recognized over the life of the policy in proportion to expected costs of servicing those contracts. Expected costs are determined based on our historical claims experience. Claims are expensed through a provision for claims in the period the claim was incurred. Capitalized acquisition costs are comprised of premium taxes and are amortized as general and administrative expense over the life of the contracts in proportion to premiums earned.

We have consolidated the trust within our financial statements based on our determination of the following:
We have a variable interest in the trust. We have a residual interest in the assets of the trust, which is variable in nature, given that it increases or decreases based upon the actual loss experience of the related service contracts. In addition, VSC Re is required to absorb any losses in excess of the trust's assets.
The trust is a variable interest entity. The trust has insufficient equity at risk as no parties to the trust were required to contribute assets that provide them with any ownership interest.
We are the primary beneficiary of the trust. We control the amount of premiums written and placed in the trust through Consumer Loan assignments under our Programs, which is the activity that most significantly impacts the economic performance of the trust. We have the right to receive benefits from the trust that could potentially be significant. In addition, VSC Re has the obligation to absorb losses of the trust that could potentially be significant.

New Accounting Update Adopted During the Current Year

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which intends to enhance and simplify various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements impacting the allocation of income tax expense to certain legal entities and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate their value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Restricted Securities Available for Sale. The fair value of U.S. Government and agency securities and corporate bonds is based on quoted market values in active markets. For asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and commercial paper we use model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Loans Receivable, net. The fair value is determined by calculating the present value of expected future net cash flows estimated by us utilizing a discount rate comparable with the rate used to calculate the value of our Loans under our non-GAAP floating yield methodology.

Revolving Secured Line of Credit. The fair value is determined by calculating the present value of the debt instrument based on current rates for debt with a similar risk profile and maturity.

Secured Financing. The fair value of our asset-backed secured financings (“Term ABS”) is determined using quoted market prices; however, these instruments trade in a market with a low trading volume. For our warehouse facilities, the fair values are determined by calculating the present value of each debt instrument based on current rates for debt with similar risk profiles and maturities.

Senior Notes. The fair value is determined using quoted market prices in an active market.

Mortgage Note. The fair value is determined by calculating the present value of the debt instrument based on current rates for debt with a similar risk profile and maturity.

A comparison of the carrying amount and estimated fair value of these financial instruments is as follows:

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table provides the level of measurement used to determine the fair value for each of our financial instruments measured or disclosed at fair value:

The net Loan income (finance charge revenue less provision for credit losses expense) that we will recognize over the life of a Loan equals the cash we collect from the underlying Consumer Loan less the cash we pay to the Dealer. Under CECL, we are required to recognize a significant provision for credit losses expense at the time of assignment for contractual net cash flows we never expect to realize and to recognize in subsequent periods finance charge revenue that is significantly in excess of our expected yields.

(1)Represents the total forecasted collections we expect to collect on the Consumer Loans as a percentage of the repayments that we were contractually owed on the Consumer Loans at the time of assignment. Contractual repayments include both principal and interest. Forecasted collection rates are negatively impacted by canceled Consumer Loans as the contractual amount owed is not removed from the denominator for purposes of computing forecasted collection rates in the table.
(2)The forecasted collection rates presented for Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans reflect the Consumer Loan classification at the time of assignment.
We evaluate and adjust the expected collection rate of each Consumer Loan subsequent to assignment primarily through the monitoring of consumer payment behavior.

(1)As Consumer Loans are aggregated by Dealer for purposes of recognizing revenue and measuring credit losses, the Dealer Loan amount was estimated by allocating the balance of each Dealer Loan to the underlying Consumer Loans based on the forecasted future collections of each Consumer Loan.
(2)As certain Consumer Loans are aggregated by Dealer or month of purchase for purposes of recognizing revenue and measuring credit losses, the Purchased Loan amount was estimated by allocating the balance of certain Purchased Loans to the underlying Consumer Loans based on the forecasted future collections of each Consumer Loan.
(3)Represents the Loan balance attributable to Consumer Loans outstanding within their initial loan terms.
(4)Represents the Loan balance attributable to Consumer Loans outstanding beyond their initial loan terms.
(5)We consider a Consumer Loan to be current for purposes of forecasting expected collection rates if contractual repayments are less than 11 days past due.

During the first quarter of 2020, we reduced our estimate of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $206.5 million, or 2.3% of the forecasted net cash flows at the start of the period, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction was comprised of: (1) $44.3 million calculated by our forecasting model, which reflected lower realized collections during the first quarter of 2020 and (2) an additional $162.2 million, which represented our best estimate of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future net cash flows. Under CECL, changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recorded as a provision for credit losses in the current period. While the adjustment to our forecast, which we continued to apply through the second quarter of 2021, represents our best estimate at this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has created conditions that increase the level of uncertainty associated with our estimate of the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio.

Other income consists of the following:
(In millions)For the Three Months Ended June 30,For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Ancillary product profit sharing$7.2 $10.0 $15.4 $18.2

Interest0.4 0.5 0.7 2.2 
Other 0.2 0.2 0.4 
Total$10.5 $13.9 $22.2 $28.2 

Ancillary product profit sharing consists of payments received from TPPs based upon the performance of vehicle service contracts and GAP contracts, and is recognized as income over the life of the vehicle service contracts and GAP contracts.

Remarketing fees consist of fees retained from the sale of repossessed vehicles by Vehicle Remarketing Services, Inc. (“VRS”), our wholly-owned subsidiary that is responsible for remarketing vehicles for Credit Acceptance. VRS coordinates vehicle repossessions with a nationwide network of repossession contractors, the redemption of the vehicles by the consumers, and the sale of the vehicles through a nationwide network of vehicle auctions. VRS recognizes income from the retained fees at the time of the sale and does not retain a fee if a repossessed vehicle is redeemed by the consumer prior to the sale. 

Dealer enrollment fees include fees from Dealers that enrolled in our Portfolio Program prior to August 5, 2019. Depending on the enrollment option selected by the Dealer, Dealers may have enrolled by paying us an upfront, one-time fee, or by agreeing to allow us to retain 50% of their accelerated Dealer Holdback payment(s) on the first 100 Consumer Loan assignments. For additional information regarding program enrollment, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. A portion of the $9,850 upfront, one-time fee is considered to be Dealer support products and services revenue. The remaining portion of the $9,850 fee is considered to be a Dealer enrollment fee, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the Dealer relationship. The 50% portion of the accelerated Dealer Holdback payment(s) on the first 100 Consumer Loan assignments is also considered to be a Dealer enrollment fee. We do not recognize any of this Dealer enrollment fee until the Dealer has met the eligibility requirements to receive the accelerated Dealer Holdback payment(s) and the amount(s) of the payment(s), if any, have been calculated. Once the accelerated Dealer Holdback payment(s) have been calculated, we defer the 50% portion that we keep and recognize it on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated life of the Dealer relationship. Beginning August 5, 2019, Dealers may enroll in our Portfolio Program without incurring an enrollment fee.

Dealer support products and services consist of income earned from products and services provided to Dealers to assist with their operations, including sales and marketing, purchasing supplies and materials and acquiring vehicle inventory. Income is recognized in the period the product or service is provided.

Interest consists of income earned on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and restricted securities available for sale. Interest income is generally recognized over time as it is earned. Interest income on restricted securities available for sale is recognized over the life of the underlying financial instruments using the interest method.

Revolving Secured Line of Credit Facility

We have a $340.0 million revolving secured line of credit facility with a commercial bank syndicate. The amount of the facility will decrease to $305.0 million on June 22, 2022. Borrowings under the revolving secured line of credit facility, including any letters of credit issued under the facility, are subject to a borrowing-base limitation. This limitation equals 80% of the value of Loans, as defined in the agreement, less a hedging reserve (not exceeding $1.0 million), and the amount of other debt secured by the collateral which secures the revolving secured line of credit facility. Borrowings under the revolving secured line of credit facility agreement are secured by a lien on most of our assets.

Warehouse Facilities

We have six Warehouse facilities with total borrowing capacity of $1,250.0 million. Each of the facilities is with a different lender or group of lenders. Under each Warehouse facility, we can contribute Loans to our wholly-owned subsidiaries in return for cash and equity in each subsidiary. In turn, each subsidiary pledges the Loans as collateral to lenders to secure financing that will fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Loans. The financing provided to each subsidiary under the applicable facility is generally limited to the lesser of 80% of the value of the contributed Loans, as defined in the agreements, plus the restricted cash and cash equivalents pledged as collateral on such Loans or the facility limit.

The financings create indebtedness for which the subsidiaries are liable and which is secured by all the assets of each subsidiary. Such indebtedness is non-recourse to us, even though we are consolidated for financial reporting purposes with the subsidiaries. Because the subsidiaries are organized as legal entities separate from us, their assets (including the contributed Loans) are not available to our creditors.


34


Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The subsidiaries pay us a monthly servicing fee equal to 6% (4% for Warehouse Facility II) of the collections received with respect to the contributed Loans. The servicing fee is paid out of the collections. Except for the servicing fee and holdback payments due to Dealers, if a facility is amortizing, we do not have any rights in any portion of such collections until all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other related costs have been paid in full. If a facility is not amortizing, the applicable subsidiary may be entitled to retain a portion of such collections provided that the borrowing base requirements of the facility are satisfied.

Term ABS Financings

We have wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Funding LLCs”) that have completed secured financing transactions with qualified institutional investors or lenders. In connection with these transactions, we contributed Loans on an arms-length basis to each Funding LLC for cash and the sole membership interest in that Funding LLC. In turn, each Funding LLC, other than those of Term ABS 2019-2 and 2021-1, contributed the Loans to the respective trusts that issued notes to qualified institutional investors. The Funding LLCs for the Term ABS 2019-2 and 2021-1 transactions pledged the Loans to the respective lenders. The Term ABS 2018-2, 2018-3, 2019-1, 2019-3, 2020-1, 2020-2, 2020-3, 2021-2 and 2021-3 transactions each consist of three classes of notes. 

Each financing at the time of issuance has a specified revolving period during which we are likely to contribute additional Loans to each Funding LLC. Each Funding LLC will then contribute the Loans to its respective trust.  At the end of the applicable revolving period, the debt outstanding under each financing will begin to amortize.

The financings create indebtedness for which the trusts or Funding LLCs are liable and which is secured by all the assets of each trust or Funding LLC. Such indebtedness is non-recourse to us, even though we are consolidated for financial reporting purposes with the trusts and the Funding LLCs. Because the Funding LLCs are organized as legal entities separate from us, their assets (including the contributed Loans) are not available to our creditors. We receive a monthly servicing fee on each financing equal to 6% (4% for Term ABS 2021-2 and 2021-3) of the collections received with respect to the contributed Loans. The fee is paid out of the collections. Except for the servicing fee and Dealer Holdback payments due to Dealers, if a facility is amortizing, we do not have any rights in any portion of such collections until all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other related costs have been paid in full. If a facility is not amortizing, the applicable subsidiary may be entitled to retain a portion of such collections provided that the borrowing base requirements of the facility are satisfied. However, in our capacity as servicer of the Loans, we do have a limited right to exercise a “clean-up call” option to purchase Loans from the Funding LLCs and/or the trusts under certain specified circumstances. For those Funding LLCs with a trust, when the trust’s underlying indebtedness is paid in full, either through collections or through a prepayment of the indebtedness, the trust is to pay any remaining collections over to its Funding LLC as the sole beneficiary of the trust. For all Funding LLCs, after the indebtedness is paid in full, any remaining collections will ultimately be available to be distributed to us as the sole member of the respective Funding LLC.

Senior Notes

On December 18, 2019, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 senior notes”). The 2024 senior notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 18, 2019, among the Company, as issuer, the Company’s subsidiaries Buyers Vehicle Protection Plan, Inc. and Vehicle Remarketing Services, Inc., as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The 2024 senior notes mature on December 31, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on June 30, 2020. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2024 senior notes to repurchase or redeem all of the $300.0 million outstanding principal amount of our 6.125% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 senior notes”), of which $148.2 million was repurchased on December 18, 2019 and the remaining $151.8 million was redeemed on January 17, 2020. We used the remaining net proceeds from the 2024 senior notes, together with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to redeem in full the $250.0 million outstanding principal amount of our 7.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 senior notes”) on March 15, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million related to the repurchase of the 2021 senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the irrevocable notice given in December 2019 for the redemption of the remaining 2021 senior notes in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.4 million related to the redemption of the 2023 senior notes.

On March 7, 2019, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 senior notes”). The 2026 senior notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 7, 2019, among the Company, as issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The 2026 senior notes mature on March 15, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2019. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2026 senior notes for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding borrowings under our revolving secured line of credit facility.

The 2024 senior notes and 2026 senior notes (the “senior notes”) are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors, which are also guarantors of obligations under our revolving secured line of credit facility. Other existing and future subsidiaries of ours may become guarantors of the senior notes in the future. The indentures for the senior notes provide for a guarantor of the senior notes to be released from its obligations under its guarantee of the senior notes under specified circumstances.

Mortgage Note

On August 6, 2018, we entered into a $12.0 million mortgage note with a commercial bank that is secured by a first mortgage lien on a building acquired by us and an assignment of all leases, rents, revenues and profits under all present and future leases of the building. The note matures on August 6, 2023, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points.

Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with our covenants under the revolving secured line of credit facility and our Warehouse facilities, including those that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and other financial conditions. These covenants require a minimum ratio of (1) our net earnings, adjusted for specified items, before income taxes, depreciation, amortization and fixed charges to (2) our fixed charges, as defined in the agreements. These covenants also limit the maximum ratio of our funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to tangible net worth. Additionally, we must maintain consolidated net income, as defined in the agreements, of not less than $1 for the two most recently ended fiscal quarters. Some of these covenants may indirectly limit the repurchase of common stock or payment of dividends on common stock. Our Warehouse facilities also contain covenants that measure the performance of the contributed assets.

Our Term ABS financings also contain covenants that measure the performance of the contributed assets.  As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of the end of the quarter, we were also in compliance with our covenants under the senior notes indentures.

Effective income tax rate24.0 %24.6 %23.8 %15.9 %

State income taxes

State income taxes include non-deductible expenses related to uncertain tax positions. The impact of these non-deductible expenses on our effective income tax rate decreased from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income.

Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation plans

During the first quarter of each year, we receive a tax benefit upon the vesting of restricted stock and the conversion of restricted stock units to common stock based on the fair value of the shares. The amount by which this tax benefit exceeds the grant-date fair value that was recognized as stock-based compensation expense is referred to as an excess tax benefit. Excess tax benefits are recognized in provision for income taxes and reduce our effective income tax rate. The impact of excess tax benefits on our effective income tax rate decreased from 2020 to 2021 due to an increase in pre-tax income and a decrease in the number of restricted stock units that were converted to common stock during the first quarter of 2021 due to the timing of long-term stock award grants.

Other

Other items impacting our effective income tax rate primarily consist of non-deductible executive compensation expenses. The impact on our effective income tax rate decreased from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income.

12.         NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the basic number of weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The share effect is as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 5,285 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The reversal of stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the forfeiture of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units upon the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer in May 2021, which resulted in an $11.5 million reversal of stock-based compensation expense.

Stock option grants subject to shareholder approval

From December 2020 through June 2021, we granted 770,500 time-based stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $346.94 per share to certain team members and a new member of our board of directors, subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (“Shareholder Approval”). Based on the terms of individual stock option grant agreements, the stock options:

vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date on which the options were granted, based on continuous employment or service, and
expire either six or ten years from the date of the grant.

Under GAAP, if a stock award is subject to shareholder approval, it is not considered granted for accounting purposes until that approval is received. Shareholder Approval was received at our annual meeting of shareholders on July 21, 2021. Accordingly, the accounting grant date of the 770,500 time-based stock options we awarded from December 2020 through June 2021 is July 21, 2021. The $145.3 million grant date fair value of those stock options will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized for stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

We expect to recognize the future expense of the stock options as follows:

15.        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

In the normal course of business and as a result of the consumer-oriented nature of the industry in which we operate, we and other industry participants are frequently subject to various consumer claims, litigation and regulatory investigations seeking damages, fines and statutory penalties. The claims allege, among other theories of liability, violations of state, federal and foreign truth-in-lending, credit availability, credit reporting, consumer protection, warranty, debt collection, insurance and other consumer-oriented laws and regulations, including claims seeking damages for alleged physical and mental harm relating to the repossession and sale of consumers' vehicles and other debt collection activities. As the assignee of Consumer Loans originated by Dealers, we may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by consumers principally against Dealers. We may also have disputes and litigation with Dealers. The claims may allege, among other theories of liability, that we breached our Dealer servicing agreement. We may also have disputes and litigation with vendors and other third parties. The claims may allege, among other theories of liability, that we breached a license agreement or contract. The damages, fines and penalties that may be claimed by consumers, regulatory agencies, Dealers, vendors or other third parties in these types of matters can be substantial. The relief requested by plaintiffs varies but may include requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages and injunctive relief, and plaintiffs may seek treatment as purported class actions. The following matters include current actions to which we are a party and updates to matters that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On October 2, 2020, a shareholder filed a putative class action complaint against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, based on alleged false and/or misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company and its business, and seeking class certification, unspecified damages plus interest and attorney and expert witness fees and other costs on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons and entities (subject to specified exceptions) that purchased or otherwise acquired Credit Acceptance common stock from November 1, 2019 through August 28, 2020. On May 28, 2021, the court issued an opinion and order appointing lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On July 22, 2021, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting similar violations, seeking similar relief and expanding the putative class to include all persons and entities (subject to specified exceptions) that purchased or otherwise acquired Credit Acceptance common stock from May 4, 2018 through August 28, 2020. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of this lawsuit at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this lawsuit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On May 7, 2019, we received a subpoena from the Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau of the Office of the New York State Attorney General, relating to the Company’s origination and collection policies and procedures in the state of New York. On July 30, 2020, we received two additional subpoenas from the Office of the New York State Attorney General, both from the Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau and the Investor Protection Bureau, relating to the Company’s origination and collection policies and procedures in the state of New York and its securitizations. On August 28, 2020, we were informed that one of the two additional subpoenas was being withdrawn. On November 16, 2020, we received an additional subpoena for documents from the Office of the New York State Attorney General. On November 19, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Office of the New York State Attorney General stating that the New York State Attorney General is considering bringing claims against the Company under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, New York Executive Law § 63(12), the New York Martin Act and New York General Business Law § 349 in connection with the Company’s origination and securitization practices. On December 9, 2020, we responded to the New York State Attorney General’s letter disputing the assertions contained therein. On December 21, 2020, we received two additional subpoenas from the Office of the New York State Attorney General, one relating to data and the other seeking testimony. On February 24 and April 30, 2021, we received additional subpoenas from the Office of the New York State Attorney General seeking information relating to its investigation. We are cooperating with the inquiry and cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this investigation.

On April 22, 2019, we received a civil investigative demand from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “Bureau”) seeking, among other things, certain information relating to the Company’s origination and collection of Consumer Loans, TPPs and credit reporting. On May 7, 2020, we received another civil investigative demand from the Bureau seeking additional information relating to its investigation. The Company raised various objections to the May 7, 2020 civil investigative demand, and on May 26, 2020, we were notified that it was withdrawn. On June 1, 2020, we received another civil investigative demand that was similar to the May 7, 2020 demand, and which raised many of the same objections. We formally petitioned the Bureau to modify the June 1, 2020 civil investigative demand. On September 3, 2020, the Director of the Bureau denied our petition to modify the June 1, 2020 civil investigative demand. On December 23, 2020, we received a civil investigative demand for investigational hearings in connection with the Bureau’s investigation. The Company objected to certain portions of the civil investigative demands for hearings and, on January 19, 2021, the Bureau notified the Company that it had withdrawn such portions from the December 23, 2020 civil investigative demands. On March 11, 2021, we received another civil investigative demand from the Bureau seeking additional information relating to its investigation and an investigational hearing. On June 3, 2021, we received another civil investigative demand from the Bureau seeking additional information relating to its investigation. We continue to cooperate with the investigation, but cannot predict the eventual scope, duration, or outcome at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this investigation.

On August 14, 2017, we received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of Mississippi, relating to the origination and collection of non-prime auto loans in the state of Mississippi. The Company cooperated with the inquiry. On April 23, 2019, the Attorney General of the State of Mississippi, on behalf of the State of Mississippi, filed a complaint in the Chancery Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, alleging that the Company engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices in subprime auto lending, loan servicing, vehicle repossession and debt collection in the State of Mississippi in violation of the Mississippi Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, including civil penalties and disgorgement, and payment of the State’s attorney’s fees and costs. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of this lawsuit at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this lawsuit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On March 18, 2016, we received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of Maryland, relating to the Company’s repossession and sale policies and procedures in the state of Maryland. On April 3, 2020, we received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of Maryland relating to the Company’s origination and collection policies and procedures in the state of Maryland. On August 11, 2020, we received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of Maryland restating most of the requests contained in the March 18, 2016 and April 3, 2020 subpoenas, making additional requests, and expanding the inquiry to include 40 other states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin) and the District of Columbia. Also on August 11, 2020, we received from the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey a subpoena that is essentially identical to the August 11, 2020 Maryland subpoena, both as to substance and as to the jurisdictions identified. We are cooperating with these inquiries and cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from these investigations.

On December 9, 2014, we received a civil investigative subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 directing us to produce certain information relating to subprime automotive finance and related securitization activities. We have cooperated with the inquiry, but cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome at this time. As a result, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this investigation.

On December 4, 2014, we received a civil investigative demand from the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts relating to the origination and collection of non-prime auto loans in Massachusetts. On November 20, 2017 we received a second civil investigative demand from the Office of the Attorney General seeking updated information on its original civil investigative demand, additional information related to the Company's origination and collection of Consumer Loans, and information regarding securitization activities. In connection with this inquiry, we were informed by representatives of the Office of the Attorney General that it believes that the Company may have engaged in unfair and deceptive acts or practices related to the origination and collection of auto loans, which may have caused some of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in securitization documents to be inaccurate. On July 22, 2020, we received a third civil investigative demand from the Office of the Attorney General seeking updates on previously produced data and additional information related to the Company's origination of Consumer Loans. On August 30, 2020, we were served with a complaint, filed by the Attorney General in Massachusetts Superior Court in Suffolk County, alleging that the Company engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices in subprime auto lending, debt collection and asset-backed securitizations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in violation of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law, M.G.L. c. 93A. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties and payment of the Commonwealth’s attorney’s fees and costs. On March 15, 2021, the court entered an order denying a motion by the Company to dismiss four of the Commonwealth’s seven claims and granting in part and denying in part a motion by the Commonwealth for partial summary judgment on three of its claims. On April 27, 2021, the Company and the Commonwealth reached an agreement in principle to settle this lawsuit, and, as a result, we have estimated a probable loss of $27.2 million, all of which was recognized as a contingent loss during the first quarter of 2021.

An adverse ultimate disposition in any action to which we are a party or otherwise subject could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

16.        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From December 2020 through June 2021, we granted 770,500 time-based stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $346.94 per share to certain team members and a new member of our board of directors, subject to Shareholder Approval. On July 21, 2021, we received Shareholder Approval and measured the grant date fair value of the stock option grants. For additional information regarding stock option grants, see Note 14.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Part I - Item 1 - Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

We offer financing programs that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers, regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, consolidated net income was $288.6 million, or $17.18 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income of $96.4 million, or $5.40 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in provision for credit losses and an increase in finance charges. The decrease in provision for credit losses was primarily due to an improvement in forecasted future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio and a decrease in new Consumer Loan assignment volume. The increase in finance charges was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on our Loan portfolio, which was primarily the result of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, consolidated net income was $490.7 million, or $28.96 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income of $12.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in provision for credit losses and an increase in finance charges. The decrease in provision for credit losses was primarily due to an improvement in forecasted future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio as we (1) increased our current year estimate of future net cash flows to reflect an improvement in Consumer Loan performance and (2) reduced our prior year estimate of future net cash flows in the first quarter of 2020 to reflect the estimated long-term impact of COVID-19 on Consumer Loan performance. The increase in finance charges was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on our Loan portfolio, which was primarily the result of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020.

Although the immediate impact of the COVID-19 virus has subsided, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continues to be significant. Starting in mid-March 2020, we experienced a substantial reduction in demand for our product and a significant decline in cash flows from our loan portfolio that lasted through mid-April 2020, after which collections and new loan volumes improved significantly. Starting in late July 2020 and continuing through February 2021, we experienced another substantial reduction in demand for our product as federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments lapsed, dealer inventories declined and used vehicle prices increased. Demand for our product improved again in March and April 2021 as additional federal stimulus payments were distributed. Starting in May 2021 and continuing through July 2021, we experienced another significant decline in demand for our product. We believe that this decline is primarily due to low dealer inventories and further increases in used vehicle prices, which we believe are primarily due to the downstream impact of supply chain disruptions in the automotive industry.

Critical Success Factors

Critical success factors include our ability to accurately forecast Consumer Loan performance, access capital on acceptable terms, and maintain or grow Consumer Loan volume at the level and on the terms that we anticipate, with an objective to maximize economic profit. Economic profit is a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our financial results and determine incentive compensation. Economic profit measures how efficiently we utilize our total capital, both debt and equity, and is a function of the return on capital in excess of the cost of capital and the amount of capital invested in the business.

Consumer Loan Metrics

At the time a Consumer Loan is submitted to us for assignment, we forecast future expected cash flows from the Consumer Loan. Based on the amount and timing of these forecasts and expected expense levels, an advance or one-time purchase payment is made to the related Dealer at a price designed to maximize economic profit.

We use a statistical model to estimate the expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan at the time of assignment. We continue to evaluate the expected collection rate of each Consumer Loan subsequent to assignment. Our evaluation becomes more accurate as the Consumer Loans age, as we use actual performance data in our forecast. By comparing our current expected collection rate for each Consumer Loan with the rate we projected at the time of assignment, we are able to assess the accuracy of our initial forecast. The following table compares our forecast of Consumer Loan collection rates as of June 30, 2021 with the forecasts as of March 31, 2021, as of December 31, 2020 and at the time of assignment, segmented by year of assignment:

(1)Represents the total forecasted collections we expect to collect on the Consumer Loans as a percentage of the repayments that we were contractually owed on the Consumer Loans at the time of assignment.  Contractual repayments include both principal and interest. Forecasted collection rates are negatively impacted by canceled Consumer Loans as the contractual amount owed is not removed from the denominator for purposes of computing forecasted collection rates in the table.
(2)The forecasted collection rate for 2021 Consumer Loans as of June 30, 2021 includes both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of March 31, 2021 and Consumer Loans assigned during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates for each of these segments:

April 1, 2021 through June 30, 202166.5 %— 66.7 %— -0.2 %

Consumer Loans assigned in 2012, 2013 and 2018 through 2020 have yielded forecasted collection results materially better than our initial estimates, while Consumer Loans assigned in 2015 and 2016 have yielded forecasted collection results materially worse than our initial estimates. For all other assignment years presented, actual results have been close to our initial estimates. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, forecasted collection rates improved for Consumer Loans assigned in 2017 through 2021 and were generally consistent with expectations at the start of the period for all other assignment years presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, forecasted collection rates improved for Consumer Loans assigned in 2017 through 2020 and were generally consistent with expectations at the start of the period for all other assignment years presented.

The changes in forecasted collection rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 impacted forecasted net cash flows (forecasted collections less forecasted Dealer Holdback payments) as follows:
(In millions)For the Three Months Ended June 30,For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Increase (Decrease) in Forecasted Net Cash Flows2021202020212020
Dealer Loans$32.9 $(0.1)$59.6 $(76.0)
Purchased Loans71.6 24.5 152.3 (106.1)
Total$104.5 $24.4 $211.9 $(182.1)

During the first quarter of 2020, we reduced our estimate of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $206.5 million, or 2.3% of the forecasted net cash flows at the start of the period, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction was comprised of: (1) $44.3 million calculated by our forecasting model, which reflected lower realized collections during the first quarter of 2020 and (2) an additional $162.2 million, which represented our best estimate of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future net cash flows. Under the GAAP methodology that we employ (known as CECL), changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recorded as a provision for credit losses in the current period. While the adjustment to our forecast, which we continued to apply through the second quarter of 2021, represents our best estimate at this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has created conditions that increase the level of uncertainty associated with our estimate of the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio.

The following table summarizes changes in realized collections in each of the last six quarters as compared to the same period in the previous year:
Year over Year Percent Change
Three Months EndedFront End Collections (1)Total Collections

June 30, 202120.9 %23.8 %
(1)Represents collections realized on Consumer Loans that are either current or in the early stages of delinquency.

Starting in mid-March 2020, we experienced a reduction in realized collections at the same time government authorities began to implement restrictions that limited economic activity. The reduction in front end collections reflected a lower volume of payments from customers while the reduction in total collections also included lower realized collections from repossessions, which were temporarily suspended as the COVID-19 crisis began to unfold. Starting in mid-April 2020, front end collections improved as federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments were distributed. Starting in August 2020 and continuing through the end of 2020, the improvement in front end collections declined as federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments lapsed, and unemployment rates, while improved, remained above pre-pandemic levels. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, front end collections and total collections improved as additional federal stimulus payments were distributed. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the improvement in front end collections stabilized while total collections improved as collections from repossessions increased. Front end collections and total collections for the 28-day period ended July 28, 2021, increased 10.4% and 12.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020. We believe the improvement in collections declined in July from the second quarter of 2021 primarily as a result of the impact of federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments on July 2020 results and a decline in growth rate of our Loan portfolio.

Forecasting collection rates accurately at Loan inception is difficult. With this in mind, we establish advance rates that are intended to allow us to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, even if collection rates are less than we initially forecast.

The following table presents forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates, the spread (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate), and the percentage of the forecasted collections that had been realized as of June 30, 2021. All amounts, unless otherwise noted, are presented as a percentage of the initial balance of the Consumer Loan (principal + interest). The table includes both Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans.

April 1, 2021 through June 30, 202166.5 %45.9 %20.6 %

The risk of a material change in our forecasted collection rate declines as the Consumer Loans age. For 2016 and prior Consumer Loan assignments, the risk of a material forecast variance is modest, as we have currently realized in excess of 90% of the expected collections. Conversely, the forecasted collection rates for more recent Consumer Loan assignments are less certain as a significant portion of our forecast has not been realized.

The spread between the forecasted collection rate and the advance rate has ranged from 19.9% to 27.5%, on an annual basis, over the last 10 years. The spread was at the high end of this range in 2012, when the competitive environment was unusually favorable, and much lower during other years (2015 through 2021) when competition was more intense. The decrease in the spread from 2020 to 2021 was primarily the result of the performance of 2020 Consumer Loans, which has exceeded our initial estimates by a greater margin than those assigned to us in 2021, partially offset by a higher initial spread on 2021 Consumer Loans, primarily due to a higher initial forecast on 2021 Consumer Loans.

(1)The forecasted collection rates presented for Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans reflect the Consumer Loan classification at the time of assignment. The forecasted collection rates represent the total forecasted collections we expect to collect on the Consumer Loans as a percentage of the repayments that we were contractually owed on the Consumer Loans at the time of assignment. Contractual repayments include both principal and interest. Forecasted collection rates are negatively impacted by canceled Consumer Loans as the contractual amount owed is not removed from the denominator for purposes of computing forecasted collection rates in the table.

The following table presents forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates, and the spread (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate) as of June 30, 2021 for Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans separately. All amounts are presented as a percentage of the initial balance of the Consumer Loan (principal + interest).

Although the advance rate on Purchased Loans is higher as compared to the advance rate on Dealer Loans, Purchased Loans do not require us to pay Dealer Holdback.

The spread on Dealer Loans decreased from 23.6% in 2020 to 21.2% in 2021 primarily as a result of the performance of the 2020 Consumer Loans in our Dealer Loan portfolio, which has exceeded our initial estimates, partially offset by a higher initial spread on 2021 Consumer Loans in our Dealer Loan portfolio, primarily due to a higher initial forecast on 2021 Consumer Loans in our Dealer Loan portfolio. The spread on Purchased Loans decreased from 22.0% in 2020 to 19.2% in 2021 primarily as a result of the performance of the 2020 Consumer Loans in our Purchased Loan portfolio, which has exceeded our initial estimates by a greater margin than those assigned to us in 2021, partially offset by a higher initial spread on 2021 Consumer Loans in our Purchased Loan portfolio, primarily due to a higher initial forecast on 2021 Consumer Loans in our Purchased Loan portfolio.

Access to Capital

Our strategy for accessing capital on acceptable terms needed to maintain and grow the business is to: (1) maintain consistent financial performance; (2) maintain modest financial leverage; and (3) maintain multiple funding sources.  Our funded debt to equity ratio was 2.0 to 1 as of June 30, 2021. We currently utilize the following primary forms of debt financing: (1) a revolving secured line of credit; (2) Warehouse facilities; (3) Term ABS financings; and (4) senior notes.

(1)Represents advances paid to Dealers on Consumer Loans assigned under our Portfolio Program and one-time payments made to Dealers to purchase Consumer Loans assigned under our Purchase Program.  Payments of Dealer Holdback and accelerated Dealer Holdback are not included.

Consumer Loan assignment volumes depend on a number of factors including (1) the overall demand for our financing programs, (2) the amount of capital available to fund new Loans, and (3) our assessment of the volume that our infrastructure can support. Our pricing strategy is intended to maximize the amount of economic profit we generate, within the confines of capital and infrastructure constraints.

Unit and dollar volumes declined 28.7% and 20.5%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2021 as the number of active Dealers declined 10.8% and the average unit volume per active Dealer declined 20.0%. Dollar volume declined less than unit volume during the second quarter of 2021 due to an increase in the average advance paid per unit. This increase was the result of an increase in the average size of the Consumer Loans assigned, primarily due to an increase in the average vehicle selling price.

The following table summarizes changes in Consumer Loan assignment unit volume in each of the last two quarters as compared to the same periods in 2019:
Three Months EndedPercent Change in Unit Volume Compared to the Same Periods in 2019
March 31, 2021-16.8 %
June 30, 2021-24.6 %

Starting in mid-March 2020, we experienced a significant decline in unit volume that we believe was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which resulted in many Dealers temporarily closing or restricting their operations and a deterioration in consumer demand for Dealers that remained open. During the latter part of April 2020 and continuing into July 2020, unit volumes improved. We believe the improvement resulted from a combination of Dealers gradually reopening their operations and the distribution of federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments. Starting in late July 2020 and continuing through February 2021, we experienced another significant decline in unit volume as federal stimulus and enhanced unemployment benefit payments lapsed, dealer inventories declined and used vehicle prices increased. Unit volumes improved again in March and April 2021 as additional federal stimulus payments were distributed. Starting in May 2021 and continuing through July 2021, we experienced another significant decline in unit volume. We believe that this decline is primarily due to low dealer inventories and further increases in used vehicle prices, which we believe are primarily due to the downstream impact of supply chain disruptions in the automotive industry. Unit volume for the 28-day period ended July 28, 2021, declined 37.6% and 33.2% compared to the same periods in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Results of Operations

The net Loan income (finance charge revenue less provision for credit losses expense) that we recognize over the life of a Loan equals the cash we collect from the underlying Consumer Loan less the cash we pay to the Dealer. We believe the economics of our business are best exhibited by recognizing net Loan income on a level-yield basis over the life of the Loan based on expected future net cash flows. We do not believe the GAAP methodology we employ (known as CECL) provides sufficient transparency into the economics of our business due to its asymmetry requiring us to recognize a significant provision for credit losses expense at the time of assignment for contractual net cash flows we never expect to realize and to recognize in subsequent periods finance charge revenue that is significantly in excess of our expected yields. For additional information, see Note 3 and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Finance Charges. The increase of $67.2 million, or 17.8%, was primarily the result of an increase in the average yield on our Loan portfolio, as follows:

Due to an increase in the average yield$56.5 
Due to an increase in the average net Loans receivable balance10.7 
Total increase in finance charges$67.2 

The average yield on our Loan portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, which requires us to recognize finance charges on new Consumer Loan assignments using effective interest rates based on contractual future net cash flows, which are significantly in excess of our expected yields.

Other Income. The decrease of $3.4 million, or 24.5%, was primarily due to a decrease in ancillary product profit sharing income due to an increase in average vehicle service contract claim rates.

Operating Expenses. The decrease of $11.4 million, or 14.0%, was primarily due to:
A decrease in salaries and wages expense of $10.4 million, or 21.3%, primarily due to the forfeiture of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units upon the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer in May 2021, which resulted in an $11.5 million reversal of stock-based compensation expense.
A decrease in sales and marketing expense of $3.3 million, or 18.1%, primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions related to a decline in Consumer Loan assignment volume and a decrease in the size of our sales force.

Provision for Credit Losses. The decrease of $169.9 million, or 121.9%, was due to decreases in provision for credit losses on forecast changes and provision for credit losses on new Consumer Loan assignments.

We recognize provision for credit losses on new Consumer Loan assignments for contractual net cash flows that are not expected to be realized at the time of assignment. We also recognize provision for credit losses on forecast changes in the amount and timing of expected future net cash flows subsequent to assignment. The following table summarizes the provision for credit losses for each of these components:
(In millions)For the Three Months Ended June 30,
Provision for Credit Losses20212020Change
New Consumer Loan assignments$91.6 $154.2 $(62.6)
Forecast changes(122.1)(14.8)(107.3)
Total$(30.5)$139.4 $(169.9)

The decrease in provision for credit losses related to new Consumer Loan assignments was due to a 28.7% decrease in Consumer Loan assignment volume and a decrease in the average provision for credit losses per Consumer Loan assignment primarily due to a higher initial forecast on 2021 Consumer Loan assignments.

The decrease in provision for credit losses related to forecast changes was primarily due to an improvement in Consumer Loan performance. During the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, we increased our estimate of future net cash flows by $104.5 million and $24.4 million, respectively, to reflect improvements in Consumer Loan performance during the periods.

Interest. The decrease of $6.2 million, or 12.9%, was primarily due to a decrease in our average cost of debt, as follows:

Average cost of debt3.5 %4.0 %-0.5 %

(1)Includes the unamortized debt discount and excludes deferred debt issuance costs.

The decrease in our average cost of debt was primarily the result of lower interest rates on recently-completed secured financings.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the effective income tax rate decreased to 24.0% from 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of non-deductible expenses on our effective income tax rate, which decreased from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income.

The average yield on our Loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, which requires us to recognize finance charges on new Consumer Loan assignments using effective interest rates based on contractual future net cash flows, which are significantly in excess of our expected yields.

Other Income. The decrease of $6.0 million, or 21.3%, was primarily due to a decrease in ancillary product profit sharing income due to an increase in average vehicle service contract claim rates and a decrease in interest income earned on restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily due to a decline in benchmark interest rates.

Operating Expenses. The increase of $22.1 million, or 13.8%, was primarily due to:
An increase in general and administrative expense of $33.4 million, or 112.8%, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, which included the recognition of a $27.2 million contingent loss during the first quarter of 2021 related to the Company and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reaching an agreement in principle to settle pending litigation.
A decrease in salaries and wages expense of $6.1 million, or 6.5%, primarily due to:
The forfeiture of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units upon the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer in May 2021, which resulted in an $11.5 million reversal of stock-based compensation expense.
A decrease of $4.9 million in cash-based incentive compensation expense, primarily due to a change in the incentive compensation program for senior management, which eliminated annual cash awards in favor of longer-term equity awards, partially offset by an increase in profit-sharing primarily due to an improvement in Company performance measures.
An increase of $5.5 million primarily related to our information technology department.
A decrease in sales and marketing expense of $5.2 million, or 13.9%, primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions related to a decline in Consumer Loan assignment volume and a decrease in the size of our sales force.

Provision for Credit Losses. The decrease of $503.3 million, or 101.9%, was primarily due to decreases in provision for credit losses on forecast changes and provision for credit losses on new Consumer Loan assignments.

We recognize provision for credit losses on new Consumer Loan assignments for contractual net cash flows that are not expected to be realized at the time of assignment. We also recognize provision for credit losses on forecast changes in the amount and timing of expected future net cash flows subsequent to assignment. The following table summarizes the provision for credit losses for each of these components:

(In millions)For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Provision for Credit Losses20212020Change
New Consumer Loan assignments$223.4 $312.1 $(88.7)
Forecast changes(232.6)182.0 (414.6)
Total$(9.2)$494.1 $(503.3)

The decrease in provision for credit losses related to new Consumer Loan assignments was due to a 17.9% decrease in Consumer Loan assignment volume and a decrease in the average provision for credit losses per Consumer Loan assignment primarily due to a higher initial forecast on 2021 Consumer Loan assignments.

The decrease in provision for credit losses related to forecast changes was primarily due to an improvement in Consumer Loan performance. During the first six months of 2021, we increased our estimate of future net cash flows by $211.9 million to reflect an improvement in Consumer Loan performance during the period. During the first six months of 2020, we reduced our estimate of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $182.1 million primarily to reflect the estimated long-term impact of COVID-19 on Consumer Loan performance.

For additional information, see Note 3 and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Interest. The decrease of $14.3 million, or 14.3%, was primarily due to a decrease in our average cost of debt, as follows:
(Dollars in millions)For the Six Months Ended June 30,
20212020Change
Interest expense$85.8 $100.1 $(14.3)

Average cost of debt3.6 %4.2 %-0.6 %

(1)Includes the unamortized debt discount and excludes deferred debt issuance costs.

The decrease in our average cost of debt was primarily the result of lower interest rates on recently-completed secured financings.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.4 million related to the redemption of the 2023 senior notes in March 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our effective income tax rate increased to 23.8% from 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the impact of tax benefits related to our stock-based compensation plan and non-deductible expenses on our effective income tax rate, which decreased from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income. For additional information, see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We need capital to maintain and grow our business. Our primary sources of capital are cash flows from operating activities, collections of Consumer Loans and borrowings under: (1) a revolving secured line of credit; (2) Warehouse facilities; (3) Term ABS financings; and (4) senior notes. There are various restrictive covenants to which we are subject under each financing arrangement and we were in compliance with those covenants as of June 30, 2021. For information regarding these financings and the covenants included in the related documents, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 29, 2021, we completed a $100.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness. The financing will revolve for 24 months, after which it will amortize based upon the cash flows on the contributed Loans.

On January 29, 2021, we extended the date on which our $300.0 million Warehouse Facility IV will cease to revolve from July 26, 2022 to November 17, 2023. The interest rate on borrowings under the facility has been increased from LIBOR plus 200 basis points to LIBOR plus 210 basis points.

On February 3, 2021, we extended the date on which our $400.0 million Warehouse Facility II will cease to revolve from July 12, 2022 to April 30, 2024.

On February 18, 2021, we completed a $500.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness. The financing has an expected annualized cost of approximately 1.4% (including the initial purchasers’ fees and other costs), and it will revolve for 24 months, after which it will amortize based upon the cash flows on the contributed Loans.

On May 20, 2021, we completed a $450.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The financing has an expected annualized cost of approximately 1.5% (including the initial purchasers’ fees and other costs), and it will revolve for 24 months, after which it will amortize based upon the cash flows on the contributed Loans.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $383.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of cash generated from the completion of secured financings during 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $1,590.0 million and $1,419.1 million, respectively, in unused and available lines of credit. Our total balance sheet indebtedness increased $171.5 million to $4,780.1 million as of June 30, 2021 from $4,608.6 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to stock repurchases.

Contractual Obligations

A summary of our scheduled principal debt maturities as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Total$4,810.5 

(1)The principal maturities of certain financings are estimated based on forecasted collections.

Based upon anticipated cash flows, management believes that cash flows from operations and our various financing alternatives will provide sufficient financing for debt maturities and for future operations. Our ability to borrow funds may be impacted by economic and financial market conditions. If the various financing alternatives were to become limited or unavailable to us, our operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we review our accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 discusses several critical accounting estimates, which we believe involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. There have been no material changes to the estimates and assumptions associated with these accounting estimates from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Industry, Operational and Macroeconomic Risks
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted our business, and the continuance of this pandemic, or any future outbreak of any contagious diseases or other public health emergency, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Our inability to accurately forecast and estimate the amount and timing of future collections could have a material adverse effect on results of operations.
Due to competition from traditional financing sources and non-traditional lenders, we may not be able to compete successfully.
Reliance on third parties to administer our ancillary product offerings could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We are dependent on our senior management and the loss of any of these individuals or an inability to hire additional team members could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.
Our reputation is a key asset to our business, and our business may be affected by how we are perceived in the marketplace.
The concentration of our dealers in several states could adversely affect us.
Reliance on our outsourced business functions could adversely affect our business.
Our ability to hire and retain foreign information technology personnel could be hindered by immigration restrictions.
We may be unable to execute our business strategy due to current economic conditions.
Adverse changes in economic conditions, the automobile or finance industries, or the non-prime consumer market could adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of operations, the ability of key vendors that we depend on to supply us with services, and our ability to enter into future financing transactions.
Natural disasters, acts of war, terrorist attacks and threats or the escalation of military activity in response to these attacks or otherwise may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A small number of our shareholders have the ability to significantly influence matters requiring shareholder approval and such shareholders have interests which may conflict with the interests of our other security holders.

Capital and Liquidity Risks
We may be unable to continue to access or renew funding sources and obtain capital needed to maintain and grow our business.
The terms of our debt limit how we conduct our business.
A violation of the terms of our asset-backed secured financing facilities or revolving secured warehouse facilities could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
Our substantial debt could negatively impact our business, prevent us from satisfying our debt obligations and adversely affect our financial condition.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding debt and fund operations and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under such debt.
Interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our borrowing costs, profitability and liquidity.
The phaseout of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or the replacement of LIBOR with a different reference rate, could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents


Reduction in our credit rating could increase the cost of our funding from, and restrict our access to, the capital markets and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur substantially more debt and other liabilities. This could exacerbate further the risks associated with our current debt levels.
The conditions of the U.S. and international capital markets may adversely affect lenders with which we have relationships, causing us to incur additional costs and reducing our sources of liquidity, which may adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

Information Technology and Cybersecurity Risks
Our dependence on technology could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our use of electronic contracts could impact our ability to perfect our ownership or security interest in Consumer Loans.
Failure to properly safeguard confidential consumer and team member information could subject us to liability, decrease our profitability and damage our reputation.

Legal and Regulatory Risks
Litigation we are involved in from time to time may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Changes in tax laws and the resolution of uncertain income tax matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows from operations.
The regulations to which we are or may become subject could result in a material adverse effect on our business.

Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ITEM 4.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business and as a result of the consumer-oriented nature of the industry in which we operate, we and other industry participants are frequently subject to various consumer claims, litigation and regulatory investigations seeking damages, fines and statutory penalties. The claims allege, among other theories of liability, violations of state, federal and foreign truth-in-lending, credit availability, credit reporting, consumer protection, warranty, debt collection, insurance and other consumer-oriented laws and regulations, including claims seeking damages for alleged physical and mental harm relating to the repossession and sale of consumers’ vehicles and other debt collection activities. As the assignee of Consumer Loans originated by Dealers, we may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by consumers principally against Dealers. We may also have disputes and litigation with Dealers. The claims may allege, among other theories of liability, that we breached our Dealer servicing agreement. We may also have disputes and litigation with vendors and other third parties. The claims may allege, among other theories of liability, that we breached a license agreement or contract. The damages, fines and penalties that may be claimed by consumers, regulatory agencies, Dealers, vendors or other third parties in these types of matters can be substantial.  The relief requested by plaintiffs varies but may include requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages and injunctive relief, and plaintiffs may seek treatment as purported class actions. An adverse ultimate disposition in any action to which we are a party or otherwise subject could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

For a description of significant litigation to which we are a party, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

time as selected by the Deal Agent in its reasonable discretion and (y) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement that will replace such Benchmark in accordance with Section 2.11(a) will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be, with respect to each Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement having a payment period for interest calculated with reference thereto, the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as such payment period.

    7


for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(3)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

In addition, although the stated principal amount of each Note shall be equal to the Commitment amount of the related Lender, 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.
Section II.2.Grant of Security Interest; Acceptance by Collateral Agent.
    41


(a) 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 reaffirms its grant of a security interst pursuant to the Existing Loan and Security Agreement and 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 assets and personal property of the Borrower, including but not limited to, all of the Borrower’s accounts, chattel paper, goods, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights, money and supporting obligations and all proceeds of the foregoing (as each such term is defined in the UCC, collectively, the “Collateral”) now owned or hereafter acquired. 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 and the Deal Agent promptly following receipt thereof. 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 IV 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 any Funding Date on which new Pools or Purchased Loans are pledged to the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, one or more computer files containing true and complete lists of all applicable 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 such date, and all Contracts securing all such Loans, identified by, as applicable, account number, dealer number and pool number as of the end of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Funding Date. Such file shall be marked as Schedule IV hereto or as an addendum thereto, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent as confidential and proprietary, and such Schedule IV and each addendum thereto are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Such Schedule IV shall be supplemented and updated on the date of each Incremental Funding in the Revolving Period to include all Loans and Contracts pledged on the date of each such date so that, on each such date, the Collateral Agent will have a Schedule IV that describes all Loans
    42


pledged by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent hereunder on or prior to said date of Incremental Funding, any related Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and all Contracts securing or evidencing such Loans (other than those that have been released from the Collateral and those Dealer Loans that have been deemed to be extinguished pursuant to Section 6.15(b) hereof). Such updated Schedule IV shall be deemed to replace any existing Schedule IV as of the date such updated Schedule IV is provided in accordance with this Section 2.2(a)(iii). Furthermore, Schedule IV hereto shall be deemed to be supplemented on each date of Dealer Collections Purchase by the list set forth under Section 6.15(c).
(iv)In connection with such pledge, each of the Borrower, Credit Acceptance and the Servicer also agrees, within 180 days of the relevant Funding Date, 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 WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN SECURED PARTIES.”
(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 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 II.3.Procedures for Funding of Advances. Each Advance hereunder shall be requested by the Borrower delivering to the Deal Agent and the Lenders (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 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.

Section II.5.Reduction of the Facility Limit and Commitment. The Borrower may, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Deal Agent and each Lender, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Limit that exceeds the aggregate Capital.

Section II.6.Actions with Respect to Advance. Each Lender may take any of the following actions at any time with respect to an Advance it has funded: (i) divide the Advance funded by such Lender into two or more portions 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.

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.

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, failures to satisfy minimum funding standards, accumulated funding deficiencies, withdrawals or “reportable events” as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA have occurred with respect to any Pension Plans that, in the aggregate, could subject the Borrower to any material tax, penalty or other liability. No notice of intent to terminate a Pension Plan has been filed, nor has any Pension Plan been terminated under Section 4041(c) of ERISA, nor has the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation instituted proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administer a Pension Plan and no event has occurred or condition exists that might constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Pension Plan.

    62


an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
(aa)Representations and Warranties in Contribution Agreement.

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
    67


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”); provided, however, that no such release 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 and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Costs due with respect to such termination. The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account on the Release Date an amount equal to: (A) the Aggregate Unpaids minus (B) the amount, if any, available in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account on such Payment Date (the “Retransfer Amount”) for allocation and distribution in accordance with Section 2.7. 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.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to such accountants’ engagement or any report issued in connection with such engagement, and the dissemination of any such report is subject to the written consent of the accountants.
Section VI.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 with respect to the initial Servicer, the Credit Guidelines, it being understood that there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Loans and Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same degree of care and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and loans which it services for itself or others. Each of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Collateral. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan or a Contract (for purposes of collection or otherwise), or if in any enforcement or other legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan or a Contract, on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Loan or Contract or on similar grounds, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of enforcement, such Loan or Contract. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (and each Lender, if applicable) shall furnish the Servicer with any
    85


reasonably necessary and appropriate 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, declarations 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) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby revocably appoint Credit Acceptance as custodian (or if there has been a Successor Servicer appointed hereunder then such Successor Servicer shall be appointed as Custodian in accordance with Section 6.2(d)), and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment, to hold and maintain physical possession of the Contract Files and all Records (or with respect to any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, to maintain “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof) (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the “Custodian”). The Contract Files and Records are to be delivered to the Custodian or its designated bailee by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and Collateral Agent within two (2) Business Days preceding the Funding Date or within two (2) Business Days after each Addition Date, as the case may be, with respect to each Loan acquired on the Funding Date or Addition Date.
(ii)The Custodian shall within 180 days after a Funding Date 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 relevant Funding Date or corrected (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. During the Revolving Period, payments required under this
    86


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. 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.
(v)Credit Acceptance shall have the obligation to (A) 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, (B) 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, (C) 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 (D) with respect to each Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, cause the single “authoritative copy” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) to be communicated to and maintained at all times by Credit Acceptance such that the “authoritative copy” constitutes an Authoritative Electronic Copy at all times.
(d) 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
    87


“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 Credit Acceptance, and to the extent such costs are not paid by Credit Acceptance such unpaid costs shall be recovered as Servicer Expenses 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 initial Servicer, and if the Backup Servicer is the Successor Servicer, the Deal Agent, the Deal Agent and any Lender 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 Deal Agent or any Lender may conduct such reviews and audits without limitation, at the Servicer’s expense.
Section VI.3.Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer. At any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 6.12(a):
(i)The Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent may intercept payments made by or on behalf of Obligors and direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Loan or Contract be made directly to the Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent or its designee; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall pay to any Dealer, to the extent to which such Dealer is entitled, all related Dealer Collections pursuant to the written direction of the Successor Servicer set forth in the Monthly Report.
(ii)The Successor Servicer shall, at the Borrower’s expense, give notice of the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Loans and Contracts to each Obligor and

(iii)The Borrower shall, at the Collateral Agent’s or the Successor Servicer’s request, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral, including all Records with respect to the Loans and Contracts, and shall make the same available to the Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent at a place selected by the Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but in any event within two (2) Business Days, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Successor Servicer or the Collateral Agent or its designee.
(iv)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Successor Servicer 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 or the Successor Servicer, 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 VI.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. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.
Section VI.5.Reports.
(a)Monthly Report. On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent a report in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Monthly Report”) for the related Collection Period.

Should the Servicer or any of its Affiliates develop or implement computer software for servicing that is owned by or exclusively licensed to the Servicer or an Affiliate and utilize such software in the servicing of the Loans and Contracts, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compel a license or sublicense for the benefit of the Collateral Agent or its designee of any such rights to the extent the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary and appropriate to assure that it or a duly appointed Successor Servicer
    90


would be able to continue to service the Loans and Contracts should that be required in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section VI.7.Establishment of the Accounts.
(a)Establishment of the Collection Account and Reserve Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, and maintained in the name of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties, with an office or branch of a depository institution or trust company (i) a segregated corporate trust account entitled “Collection Account for WCM, as agent for the Secured Parties” (the “Collection Account”) and (ii) a segregated corporate trust account entitled “Reserve Account for WCM” as agent for the Secured Parties (the “Reserve Account”), in each case, over which the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall have sole dominion and control and from which neither the Originator, the Servicer nor the Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal; provided, however, that at all times such depository institution or trust company shall be a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the States thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) (A) that has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of AA- or better by S&P and Aa3 or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of A-1 or better by S&P or P-1 or better by Moody’s, (B) the parent corporation which has either (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of AA- or better by S&P and Aa3 or better by Moody’s or (2) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 or better by Moody’s or (C) that is otherwise acceptable to the Deal Agent and (ii) whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (any such depository institution or trust company, a “Qualified Institution”).
(b)Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check or other form of payment that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. 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 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 be invested in Permitted Investments described in clause (g) of the definition thereof. Any such written directions from the Borrower 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. If the Borrower fails to provide such written direction to the Collateral Agent, such funds shall remain uninvested. Funds on deposit in the 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
    91


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 Permitted Investment may be liquidated or disposed of prior to its maturity. All proceeds of any Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable. Investments may be made in either account on any date (provided such investments mature in accordance herewith), only after giving effect to deposits to and withdrawals from such account on such date. Realized losses, if any, on amounts invested in Permitted Investments shall be charged against investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable.

The initial Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Credit Acceptance Payment Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee.
Section VI.9.Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Reports. The Servicer will cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish to the Deal Agent, within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer: (i) a report relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (A) such firm has reviewed certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Loans and Contracts included in the Collateral, and (B) based on such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the Monthly Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report and (ii) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures, as set forth in Section 6.1(c) (which procedures shall have been approved by the Deal Agent) to certain documents and records relating to the Loans under any Transaction Document, compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with Article VI of this Agreement, except for such exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exception as shall be set forth in such statement. 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 6.9, 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
    92


such procedures. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to such accountants’ engagement or any report issued in connection with such engagement, and the dissemination of any such report is subject to the written consent of the accountants.
Section VI.10.The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it hereunder except upon the Servicer’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.12.

(b)any failure by the Servicer to give instructions or notice to the Deal Agent as required by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to deliver any required Monthly Report or other required reports hereunder on or before the date occurring two (2) Business Days after the date such instruction, notice or report is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement or the relevant Transaction Document;
(c)any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (other than as set forth in clause (a) or (b) above) to which the Servicer is a party, which continues unremedied for a period of 10 days;
(d)any material representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in any Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant to any Transaction Document shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which continues unremedied for more than thirty (30) days (or a longer period, not in excess of sixty (60) days, as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default, if the default is capable of remedy within sixty (60) days or less and the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Deal Agent to the effect that it has commenced, or will promptly commence and diligently pursue, all reasonable efforts to remedy the default);
    93


(e)an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;
(f)any delegation of the Servicer’s duties that is not permitted by Section 7.1;
(g)any financial information related to the Collateral reasonably requested by the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender as provided herein is not reasonably provided as requested;
(h)the rendering against the Servicer of one or more final judgments, decrees or orders for the payment of money in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate, and the continuance of such judgment, decree or order unsatisfied and in effect for any period of more than 60 consecutive days without a stay of execution;
(i)the Servicer shall fail to pay any principal of or premium or interest on any indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $15,000,000 or more (“Material Debt”), when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Material Debt; or any other default under any agreement or instrument relating to any Material Debt or any other event, shall occur and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument if the effect of such default or event is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Material Debt; or any such Material Debt shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment) prior to the stated maturity thereof;
(j)any change in the control of the Servicer that takes the form of either a merger or consolidation in which the Servicer is not the surviving entity;
(k)a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred; or

then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, within any applicable cure period prior to the date of the Servicer Termination Notice (defined below), the Deal Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the Backup Servicer) (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.
Section VI.12.Appointment of Successor Servicer.
(a)On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.11 or Section 10.2, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Deal Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer
    94


Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Deal Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent may at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence at the direction of the Required Lenders appoint the Backup Servicer by written notice as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer shall on such date (which date shall be no less than 60 days after receipt of such written notice) assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder (except as specifically set forth herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement), and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer. In the event that the Deal Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer, there is no Backup Servicer or the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, the Deal Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”) who shall be acceptable to the Required Lenders, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Deal Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Deal Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder.
(b)Upon its assumption as Successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer (except as specifically set forth herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement and subject to Section 6.12(a)) or any other Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions as set forth in this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the Backup Servicer be liable for any actions or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.
(c)All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing on the Loans and the Contracts.
(d)Within 60 days of receiving notice that the Backup Servicer is required to serve as the Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.12 the Backup Servicer will transition to its role as Servicer.
Section VI.13.Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Loans to the same extent as if a security interest in such Loans had not been granted hereunder and (ii) pay when due, from funds available to the Borrower under Section 2.7 hereto, any taxes. Neither the Deal
    95


Agent, Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.
Section VI.14.Segregated Payment Account. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, a potential Servicer Termination Event or an Unsatisfactory Audit, the Deal Agent shall have the right to require the Borrower and the Servicer (i) to establish a segregated payment trust account in the name of the Collateral Agent for Collections related to the Collateral and (ii) to direct all Obligors to make payments into such account.
Section VI.15.Dealer Collections Purchase; Replacement of Dealer Loan with Related Purchased Loans. The parties hereto acknowledge the following:
(a)During its ordinary course of business in managing its serviced portfolio of Dealer Loans (and not based on poor credit quality of the Dealer Loan Contracts), Credit Acceptance may from time to time agree to enter into an agreement (a “Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement”) with a Dealer, pursuant to which the Dealer agrees to sell and assign to Credit Acceptance all of its rights, interests and entitlement in and to one or more Pools of Dealer Loan Contracts securing the related Dealer Loans, including such Dealer’s ownership interest in such Dealer Loan Contracts and rights to receive the related Dealer Collections (a “Dealer Collections Purchase”).
(b)Credit Acceptance has assigned all of its rights under any Dealer Collections Purchase Agreements to the Borrower pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Upon the payment by Credit Acceptance to the applicable Dealer under a Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement of the purchase price thereunder (the “Dealer Collections Purchase Price”), the related Dealer Loans (including the rights to the related Dealer Loan Collections thereunder) shall be deemed to be extinguished and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Dealer Loan Contracts securing such Dealer Loans shall be assigned by Credit Acceptance to the Borrower as Purchased Loan Contracts and the loans thereunder shall be deemed Purchased Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, all Collections on such Purchased Loan Contracts shall be included in Available Funds.
(c)On the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, Credit Acceptance shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a list identifying (i) all Dealer Loans extinguished as a result of such Dealer Collections Purchase, (ii) each Dealer Loan Contract previously securing such Dealer Loans and (iii) the Purchased Loans and Purchased Loan Contracts evidencing such Purchased Loans resulting from such Dealer Collections Purchase, in each case, identified by account number, dealer number and pool number, as applicable. Such list shall be deemed to supplement Exhibit A to the Contribution Agreement and Schedule IV hereto as of the date of such Dealer Collections Purchase.

    109


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 Lender’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.

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, the Collateral 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
    110


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 Funding 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.

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 Lender’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 establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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.

(ii)deliver or cause to be delivered to the Deal Agent an opinion of the counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Deal Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to perfection and priority and otherwise to the effect that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral hereunder continues to be an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.
(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 March 31, 2021, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such thirty (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 the Effective Date to March 31, 2021); and
(ii)within ninety (90) days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with 2022, an opinion of the counsel for the Borrower, 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 (6) 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 (x) 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 (y) 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.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Collateral Agent’s or Backup Servicer’s business or that of their affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Collateral Agent or Backup Servicer or an affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder thereof is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated herein approved in advance by the Borrower or Servicer or (E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Collateral Agent or Backup Servicer having a need to know the same, provided that the Collateral Agent or Backup Servicer advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Transaction Documents or the Borrower or the Servicer.
    118

FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
SALE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
This FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED SALE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, dated as of April 30, 2021 (the “Agreement”), is made between CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation (“CAC”), and CAC WAREHOUSE FUNDING LLC II, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly CAC Warehouse Funding Corporation II, a Nevada corporation) (“Funding”).
CAC and Funding entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement dated as of June 23, 2016 (the “Fourth A&R Contribution Agreement”), and desire to amend such Fourth Amended and Restated Contribution Agreement, as amended prior to the date hereof, in its entirety as provided herein.
Funding desires to acquire from time to time certain Loans and related rights and collateral, including certain of CAC’s rights in any related Dealer Agreements and Purchase Agreements, all of the related Contracts, and the Collections (other than Dealer Collections) derived therefrom during the full term of this Agreement, and CAC desires to transfer, convey and assign from time to time such Loans and related property to Funding upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. CAC has also agreed to service the Loans and related property to be transferred, conveyed and assigned to Funding.
In consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, it is hereby agreed by and between CAC and Funding as follows:
Article I

Related Security” means, with respect to any Loan, all of CAC’s interest in:
(i)the Dealer Agreements (other than Excluded Dealer Agreement Rights, but including CAC’s rights to service the Loans and the related Contracts and receive the related collection fee and receive reimbursement of certain repossession and recovery expenses, in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreements) and Contracts securing payment of such Loan;

Article II

CONTRIBUTION AND SERVICING OF LOANS
Section II.1Contribution and Sale of Loans.
(a)In consideration of the payments described in Section 3.1, effective as of the Initial Funding Date, CAC did convey, assign, sell and transfer without recourse, except as set forth herein, to Funding all of its right, title and interest in and to the Initial Contributed Property.
(b)CAC hereby further agrees that on the date of each Incremental Funding during the Revolving Period and the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, in consideration of the payment described in Section 3.1 with respect to such date, CAC shall, and CAC does hereby agree to, convey, assign, sell, contribute and transfer without recourse, except as set forth in this Agreement, to Funding all of its right, title and interest in and to the Subsequent Conveyed Property with respect to such date.
(c)CAC hereby further agrees that the above-described conveyances shall, without the need for any further action on the part of CAC or Funding, include (i) all rights arising under any Dealer Loan included in the Initial Contributed Property or Subsequent Conveyed Property which rights are attributable to advances made under such Dealer Loan as the result of such Dealer Loan being secured by an Open Pool on the date such Dealer Loan was sold and Dealer Loan Contracts being added to such Open Pool and (ii) all rights arising under any Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement, including any Purchased Loans and Related Security arising thereunder.
(d)Each such contribution, sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance does not constitute an assumption by Funding of any obligations of CAC or any other Person to Obligors or to any other Person in connection with the Loans or under any Contract, Dealer Agreement, Purchase Agreement or other agreement and instrument relating to the Loans.
(e)In connection with any such foregoing conveyance, CAC agrees to record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Conveyed Property conveyed by CAC hereunder meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the interests of Funding created hereby, and to deliver either the originals of such financing statements or a file-stamped copy of

3


such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to Funding on or before the Effective Date.
(f)CAC agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as Funding may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the interest of Funding in the Loans and other Conveyed Property purchased hereunder or to enable Funding to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. CAC shall, upon request of Funding, obtain such additional search reports as Funding shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Funding shall be authorized and permitted to file continuation statements and amendments to financing statements and assignments thereof to preserve and protect its right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property.
(g)It is the express intent of CAC and Funding that the conveyance of the Loans and other Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and contribution of such Loans and other Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding and that CAC relinquishes control over the Loans and all right, title and interest (legal or equitable) in, to or under any Loan or other Conveyed Property immediately upon the transfer of each such Conveyed Property under this Agreement (except to the extent of any Dealer Collections Purchases and to the extent CAC acts as the Servicer of the Loans). Further, it is not the intention of CAC and Funding that such conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Loans and other Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding in the nature of a consensual lien securing an obligation. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, the Loans or other Conveyed Property are construed to constitute property of CAC, then this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC as enacted in the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) CAC hereby affirms its grant of security interest pursuant to the Fourth A&R Contribution Agreement and (ii) CAC hereby grants to Funding, a security interest in, to and under all of CAC’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Property, to secure the obligations of CAC set forth in this Agreement. CAC and Funding shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Loans and other Conveyed Property, such security interest would be a perfected security interest in favor of Funding under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing with respect to Dealer Loans and the conveyance of Loans in connection with each Dealer Collections Purchase when made, each Dealer Collections Purchase shall be effected as provided in Section 2.1(b) and (c) and Section 3.2 hereof and Section 6.15 of the Loan and Security Agreement.
(h)In connection with such conveyance, CAC delivered to Funding on the Initial Funding Date and agrees to deliver to Funding on each Funding Date on which Subsequent Conveyed Property is conveyed by CAC to Funding, as the case may be, an Assignment executed by CAC and one or more computer files containing true and complete lists of all Loans conveyed to Funding on the Initial Funding Date and each Funding Date, and all Contracts securing or evidencing all such Loans, identified by account number, original contract

4


date and, as applicable, dealer number and pool number as of the end of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Funding Date. Such file or list shall be marked as Exhibit A to this Agreement, shall be delivered to Funding as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Such list and such Exhibit A shall be supplemented and updated on the date of each Incremental Funding in the Revolving Period to include all Conveyed Property conveyed on the date of each such Incremental Funding so that, on each such date, Funding will have an aggregate list constituting Exhibit A that describes all Loans conveyed by CAC to Funding hereunder on or prior to said date of Incremental Funding, any related Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and all Contracts securing or evidencing all such Loans (other than those that have been released from Collateral and those Dealer Loans that have been deemed to be extinguished pursuant to Section 6.15(b) of the Loan and Security Agreement). Such updated Exhibit A shall be deemed to replace any existing Exhibit A as of such date of Incremental Funding. Furthermore, CAC agrees to supplement and update Exhibit A by delivering to Funding a copy of the related list delivered pursuant to Section 6.15(c) of the Loan and Security Agreement, identifying the Purchased Loan Contracts and related Subsequent Conveyed Property identified therein arising from a Dealer Collections Purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, any deletions or omissions from Exhibit A shall not be effective except upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 3.2 of the Loan and Security Agreement and/or upon compliance with the procedures and requirements of Section 4.5 or Section 9.2 of the Loan and Security Agreement or Section 6.1 of this Agreement.
(i)CAC has at all relevant times reflected, and will continue to reflect, the transactions described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.1 on its internal non-consolidated financial statements and on its non-consolidated state tax returns as a sale or other absolute transfer of the Loans from CAC to Funding, even though CAC has reflected, and will continue to reflect, this transaction on its consolidated financial statements as an “on-balance sheet” item in accordance with GAAP. CAC has presented, and will continue to present, the data in its consolidated financial statements with an accompanying footnote describing Funding’s separate existence and stating that such item is a financing secured by the Loans and is non-recourse to CAC.
(j)In connection with the first Funding Date occurring after the Effective Date, CAC agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Deal Agent an opinion of the counsel for CAC, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Deal Agent, with respect to the creation of the security interest in the Subsequent Conveyed Property identified in the Assignment corresponding to such Funding Date, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.
Section II.2Servicing of Loans. The servicing, administering and collection of the Loans shall be conducted by the Servicer then authorized to act as such under the Loan and Security Agreement.

5


Article III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; LOANS
Section III.1Consideration. The consideration for the Loans and other Conveyed Property conveyed on the Initial Funding Date to Funding by CAC under this Agreement was an amount equal to (i) the net cash proceeds of each advance to Funding under the Loan and Security Agreement used by Funding to purchase the Loans and other Conveyed Property conveyed on the Initial Funding Date, plus (ii) the value attributable to CAC’s common stock in Funding (which constituted all of the equity interests issued by Funding) as a result of the conveyance of such Loans and other Conveyed Property. Thereafter, on the date of each Incremental Funding in the Revolving Period, the consideration for the Loans and other Conveyed Property conveyed on the date of such Incremental Funding shall equal the Outstanding Balance of the Loans conveyed as in effect as of the date of such Incremental Funding. Such consideration shall be payable (i) in cash to the extent Funding has cash available therefor and such cash payment is not prohibited by the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, plus, if applicable (ii) an increase in the value attributable to CAC’s Equity Interests (whether common stock prior to the Effective Date or limited liability company interests on and after the Effective Date) in Funding (which constitutes and will constitute all of the Equity Interests issued by Funding) as a result of the conveyance of such Loans and other Conveyed Property.
Section III.2Dealer Collections Purchasers. During its ordinary course of business in managing its serviced portfolio of dealer loans (and not based on the poor credit quality of particular dealer loans), CAC may from time to time agree to enter into agreements (each a “Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement”) with Dealers, pursuant to which the applicable Dealer agrees to sell and assign to CAC all of its rights, interests and entitlement in and to one or more Pools of Dealer Loan Contracts securing the related Dealer Loans, including such Dealer’s ownership interest in such Dealer Loan Contracts and rights to receive the related Dealer Collections (a “Dealer Collections Purchase”). On the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, CAC will pay the applicable Dealer under a Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement the applicable purchase price specified therein (the “Dealer Collections Purchase Price”). Upon such payment, the related Dealer Loans (including the rights to the related Dealer Collections thereunder) shall be deemed to have been satisfied and, pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement, the Dealer Loan Contracts previously securing such Dealer Loans shall be automatically and immediately assigned by CAC to Funding as Purchased Loan Contracts, and the loans thereunder shall be deemed Purchased Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Funding agrees to accept the assignment of the Purchased Loans and Purchased Loan Contracts arising from the satisfaction of a Dealer Loan resulting from a Dealer Collections Purchase by CAC in satisfaction of such Dealer Loan secured by the related Dealer Loan Contracts. The consideration for the conveyance from CAC to Funding of the Purchased Loan Contracts and Purchased Loans arising under the related Dealer Collections Purchase Agreement and other related Subsequent Conveyed Property will be (i) the satisfaction of the Dealer Loans previously secured by such Purchased Loan Contracts as provided herein, plus (ii) an increase in the value of CAC’s Equity Interests (whether common stock prior to the Effective Date or limited liability

6


company interests on and after the Effective Date) in Funding (which constitutes and will constitute all of the Equity Interests issued by Funding that results from such conveyance.
Article IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section IV.1Representations and Warranties. CAC represents and warrants to Funding as of the Initial Funding Date and the date of each Incremental Funding during the Revolving Period, that:
(a)Organization and Good Standing. CAC is duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and has and had at all relevant times, full power, authority, and legal right to acquire, own, sell, and service the Loans and the related Contracts, and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(b)Due Qualification. CAC is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business, including the servicing of the Loans and the related Contracts as required by this Agreement, requires such qualifications except where such failure will not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)Power and Authority. CAC has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their respective terms; and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by CAC by all necessary corporate action.
(d)Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement evidences a valid sale, transfer, and assignment of the Conveyed Property enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from CAC; and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which CAC is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of CAC enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ or secured creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.
(e)No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of CAC, or any indenture, agreement, or other instrument to which CAC is a party or by which it is or may be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement (other than this Agreement), or other instrument; or violate any law or, to the best of CAC’s knowledge,

7


any order, rule, or regulation applicable to CAC of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over CAC or its properties.
(f)No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to CAC’s best knowledge threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over CAC or its properties: A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; or C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by CAC of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party.
(g)Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. CAC is solvent, is able to pay its debts as they become due and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and, after giving effect thereto, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. CAC does not intend to incur, nor does it believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. CAC does not contemplate the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official for any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by CAC upon the sale or other absolute transfer of the Conveyed Property to Funding constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Conveyed Property. CAC is not transferring the Conveyed Property to Funding with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.
(h)Security Interest. As of the Initial Funding Date, CAC has granted a security interest (as defined in the UCC as enacted in the State of Michigan) to Funding in the Conveyed Property, which is enforceable in accordance with Applicable Law upon the Initial Funding Date. Upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements naming Funding as secured party and CAC as debtor, Funding shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Conveyed Property. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the interest of Funding in the Conveyed Property have been made.
(i)Contribution Agreement. This Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which Funding purchases Loans from CAC.
(j)Perfection. As of the Initial Funding Date, CAC was the owner of all of the Loans and the other Conveyed Property, free and clear of all Liens. On or prior to the date of each contribution of Loans and the other Conveyed Property to Funding pursuant to this Agreement, all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the ownership interest of Funding in and to the Loans and the other Conveyed Property against all creditors of and purchasers from CAC will have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings shall have been paid in full.

8


(k)Taxes. CAC has filed on or before their respective due dates, all tax returns which are required to be filed in any jurisdiction or has obtained extensions for filing such tax returns and has paid all material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges against CAC or any of its properties, income or franchises, to the extent that such taxes have become due, other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate provision has been made on the books of CAC as may be required by GAAP. To the best knowledge of CAC, all such tax returns were true and correct in all material respects and CAC knows of no proposed material additional tax assessment against it nor any basis therefor. Any taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges payable by CAC in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents have been paid or shall have been paid at or prior to the Closing Date.
(l)Place of Business. The principal place of business and chief executive office of CAC is in Southfield, Michigan, and the office where CAC keeps all of its Records (other than Certificates of Title) is at the address listed in Section 8.3, and the office where CAC keeps all Certificates of Title is at 25300-25330 Telegraph Road, Southfield, Michigan 48033, or in each case, at such other locations notified to Funding and the Deal Agent in accordance with this Agreement in jurisdictions where all action required by the terms of this Agreement has been taken and completed; provided that the Servicer 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.
(m)Tradenames, Etc. As of the date hereof CAC has not, within the last five (5) years, operated under any tradenames other than its corporate name, nor has it changed its name, merged with or into or consolidated with any other corporation or been the subject of any proceeding under Title 11, United States Code (Bankruptcy).
(n)Amount of Loans. The Funding Notice shall provide (A) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Contracts and (B) the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance, each as of the Cut-Off Date and as reported in CAC’s loan servicing system.
(o)Collections and Servicing. Since April 30, 2021, there has been no material adverse change in the ability of the Servicer to service and collect the Loans.
(p)Not an Investment Company. CAC is not, and is not controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or each is exempt from all provisions of such Act.
(q)ERISA. CAC is in compliance in all material respects with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
(r)Bulk Sales. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

9


(s)Preference; Voidability. The transfer of the Conveyed Property by CAC to Funding hereunder was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by Funding to CAC, or by CAC to Funding, and such transfer is not voidable under any Section of the Bankruptcy Code.
(t)Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any sale of Conveyed Property will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Section IV.2Representations and Warranties by CAC Relating to the Loans and the Related Contracts. CAC represents and warrants to Funding as of the Initial Funding Date and the date of each Incremental Funding during the Revolving Period with respect to the applicable Conveyed Property sold to Funding on such date, that:

Each Loan classified as an “Eligible Dealer Loan” (or included in any aggregation of balances of “Eligible Dealer Loans”) or as an “Eligible Purchased Loan” (or included in any aggregation of balances of “Eligible Purchased Loans”) by CAC in any document or report delivered hereunder or under the Loan and Security Agreement, at the time of such representation, or at the time of such calculation, as applicable, in fact satisfied the requirements contained in the definition of Eligible Dealer Loan or Eligible Purchased Loan, as applicable, on the date such Loan was conveyed or pledged to Funding; each Contract classified as an “Eligible Dealer Loan Contract” or “Eligible Purchased Loan Contract” (or included in any aggregation of balances of “Eligible Dealer Loan Contracts” or “Eligible Purchased Loan Contracts”) by CAC in any document or report delivered hereunder or under the Loan and Security Agreement, at the time of such representation, or at the time of such calculation, as applicable, in fact satisfied the requirements contained in the definition of Eligible Dealer Loan Contract or Eligible Purchased Loan Contract, as applicable, on the date such Contract was conveyed or pledged to Funding.
(b)Accuracy of Information. All information with respect to the Loans and other Conveyed Property provided to Funding hereunder by CAC was true and correct in all material respects as of the date such information was provided to Funding (or such earlier time as specifically set forth in such information) and did not omit to state any material facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
(c)Good Title. Upon the sale and/or contribution of the Loans and related property to Funding pursuant to this Agreement, Funding shall acquire all of CAC’s ownership and other interest in each Loan, and in the Related Security, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto, in each case free and clear of any Lien.
(d)No Consents. With respect to each Loan and the other Conveyed Property, all material consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by CAC, in connection with the transfer of such Conveyed Property to Funding have been duly obtained, effected or

10


given and are in full force and effect except for sales finance company licenses for Funding for the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania as to which the failure to obtain such licenses does not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)Exhibit A. Upon delivery, Exhibit A to this Agreement, which may be supplemented and updated from time to time, will be an accurate and complete listing of all Loans and the related Contracts and any related Dealer Agreements in all material respects on the date each such Loan was sold to Funding hereunder, and the information contained therein is and will be true and correct in all material respects as of such date.
(f)Chattel Paper. Each Contract and Purchased Loan constitutes tangible or electronic chattel paper.
(g)Adverse Selection. No selection procedure believed by CAC to be materially adverse to the interests of Funding has been or will be used in selecting the Loans, Dealer Agreements or Contracts; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, during the Revolving Period, CAC in its sole discretion may elect to sell to Funding Dealer Loans secured by either Open Pools or Closed Pools.
Section IV.3Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties by CAC; Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 shall survive the conveyance of the Loans to Funding, and termination of the rights and obligations of Funding and CAC under this Agreement. Upon discovery by Funding or CAC of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other within three Business Days of such discovery.
Article V

COVENANTS OF CAC
Section V.1Affirmative Covenants. So long as this Agreement is in effect, and until all Loans which have been conveyed to Funding pursuant hereto shall have been paid in full or written-off as uncollectible, and all amounts owed by CAC pursuant to this Agreement have been paid in full, unless Funding and the Deal Agent otherwise consent in writing, CAC hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a)Preservation of Corporate Existence; Conduct of Business. CAC will preserve and maintain its existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its formation, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and qualification has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Conveyed Property. CAC will carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted and do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing as a domestic corporation in its jurisdiction of incorporation and CAC will maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

11


(b)Compliance with Laws. CAC will comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws.
(c)Furnishing of Information and Inspection of Records. CAC will furnish to Funding from time to time such information with respect to the Loans as Funding may reasonably request, including, without limitation, listings identifying the Obligor and the Outstanding Balance for each Loan. CAC will at any time and from time to time during regular business hours permit Funding, or its agents or representatives, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all Records and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of CAC for the purpose of examining such Records, and to discuss matters relating to Loans or CAC’s performance hereunder with any of the officers, directors, employees or independent public accountants of CAC having knowledge of such matters.
(d)Keeping of Records and Books of Account. CAC will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing the Loans and the Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Loans.
(e)Performance and Compliance with Loans, Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and Contracts. CAC, at its expense, will timely and fully perform and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Loans, Dealer Agreements, Purchase Agreements and Contracts, and all other agreements related thereto in all material respects.
(f)Credit and Collection Policies. As long as it is the Servicer, CAC will comply in all material respects with the Credit Guidelines and the Collection Guidelines in regard to each Loan and any related Dealer Agreement unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
(g)Collections Received. CAC shall hold in trust, and deposit to the Collection Account, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day following the date of receipt, all Collections received from time to time by CAC or the Servicer.
(h)Sale Treatment. Subject to compliance with the requirements of GAAP, CAC agrees to treat the conveyance of the Conveyed Property made pursuant to this Agreement for all purposes (including, without limitation, tax and financial accounting purposes) as an absolute sale and/or contribution and, to the extent any such reporting is required, shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on all relevant books, records, tax returns, financial statements and other applicable documents as a complete disposition of the Conveyed Property to Funding.
(i)ERISA. CAC will promptly give Funding written notice upon becoming aware that CAC is not in compliance in all material respects with ERISA or that any ERISA lien on any of the Loans exists.

12


(j)Preservation of Security Interest. CAC will file such financing and continuation statements and any other documents that may be required by any law or regulation of any Governmental Authority to preserve and perfect the security interest of Funding in, to and under the Conveyed Property. CAC will maintain possession of the Dealer Agreements and the Contract Files and Records (or with respect to any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, will maintain “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof), as custodian for the Collateral Agent, as set forth in Section 6.2(c) of the Loan and Security Agreement. CAC, as Servicer, will comply with its covenants under Section 5.4(d) of the Loan and Security Agreement.
(k)Separateness. CAC will take such actions that are required on its part to be performed to cause (i) Funding to be in compliance, at all relevant times, with Section 5.2(o) of the Loan and Security Agreement, and (ii) all factual assumptions set forth in the most recent opinion letters delivered by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to the Collateral Agent with respect to certain bankruptcy matters to remain true at all relevant times.
(l)Notice to Potential Purchasers. At all times before the termination of this Agreement, if a third party, including a potential purchaser of the Loans, inquires, CAC will promptly reply that (i) CAC has sold the Loans to Funding and (ii) Funding has granted a security interest therein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and CAC will not claim any ownership interest in the Loans.
Section V.2Negative Covenants. During the term of this Agreement, unless Funding and the Deal Agent shall otherwise consent in writing:
(a)No Sales, Liens, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, CAC will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon (or the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to (i) any of the Loans, the Related Security, Collections or other Conveyed Property, (ii) any goods (other than inventory), the sale, which may give rise to any Loan, Related Security or Collections or other Conveyed Property or (iii) any account to which any Collections of any Loan are sent, or, in each case, assign any right to receive income in respect thereof. CAC shall, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, specifically exclude from the property subject to any Lien granted on inventory any and all accounts receivable generated by sales of such inventory and the proceeds thereof and shall provide, upon Funding’s request, evidence satisfactory to Funding that any such Lien (and each related UCC financing statement or other related filing) expressly excludes any such accounts receivable. CAC will provide Funding and the Deal Agent with a copy of any inventory financing agreement at least three Business Days prior to the effectiveness thereof.
(b)No Extension or Amendment of Loans. CAC will not extend, amend or otherwise materially modify the terms of any Loan, Dealer Agreement, Purchase Agreement or Contract except as permitted by any other Transaction Document.
(c)Credit Guidelines and Collection Guidelines. CAC will not amend, modify, restate or replace, in whole or in part, in any material way the Credit Guidelines or Collection Guidelines, which change would impair the collectibility of any Loan or Contract or

13


otherwise adversely affect the interests or the remedies of Funding under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, unless such change is permitted under the Loan and Security Agreement (including as a result of being required by Applicable Law) and unless CAC obtains the prior written consent of Funding.
(d)Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. CAC will not make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made directly or indirectly, unless such change is permitted under the Loan and Security Agreement and Funding and CAC have each consented to such change and have received duly executed documentation related thereto.
(e)Change of Name, Etc. CAC will not change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or structure or location of its chief executive office, unless at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such change CAC delivers to Funding and the Deal Agent such documents, instruments or agreements, including, without limitation, appropriate financing statements under the UCC, executed by CAC, as are necessary to reflect such change and to continue the perfection of Funding’s and any assignee’s interest in the Loans.
(f)Separate Business. CAC will not: (i) fail to maintain separate books, financial statements, accounting records and other corporate documents from those of Funding; (ii) commingle any of its assets or the assets of any of its Affiliates with those of Funding (except to the extent that CAC acts as the Servicer of the Loans); (iii) pay from its own assets any obligation or indebtedness of any kind incurred by Funding; or (iv) directly, or through any of its Affiliates, borrow funds or accept credit or guaranties from Funding.
Section V.3Indemnities by CAC.
(a)Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, CAC hereby agrees to indemnify Funding, or its assignee, and each of their respective Affiliates and officers, directors, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or in respect of any Loan or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (b) Indemnified Amounts that arise as a result of non-payment of Loans due to credit problems of the Dealers or Obligors. If CAC has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 5.3 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts then, the recipient shall repay to CAC an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, CAC shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i)any Contract or Loan treated as or represented by CAC to be an Eligible Contract or Eligible Loan that is not at the applicable time an Eligible Contract or Eligible Loan;

14

(iv)the failure to vest and maintain vested in Funding, or its assignees, a first priority perfected security interest in the Conveyed Property, free and clear of any Lien;
(v)the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to the Conveyed Property, whether on the Initial Funding Date or at any subsequent time;

(vii)any failure of CAC to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any failure by CAC to perform its respective duties under the Loans, in each case in all material respects;
(viii)the failure by CAC to pay when due any Taxes for which CAC is liable, including without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection with the Conveyed Property;
(ix)the commingling of Collections of the Loans and Contracts at any time with other funds (except to the extent that CAC acts as the Servicer of the Loans);
(x)any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or in respect of any Loan or Contract;
(xi)the failure of CAC, in its individual capacity, or any of its agents or representatives to remit to the Servicer, the Deal Agent, or the Collateral Agent Collections of the Loans and Contracts remitted to CAC, in its individual capacity, or any such agent or representative; and

15


(xii)the failure of a Contract File to contain the relevant original Contract or, in the case of any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, the Authoritative Electronic Copy of the relevant Contract (in each case, for UCC purposes).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CAC shall have no indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to any Loan or Contract in respect of which CAC shall have paid the Release Price under the Loan and Security Agreement after the date of such payment.
(b)Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be paid by CAC to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days following the Indemnified Party’s demand therefor.

Article VI

REPURCHASE OBLIGATION

Exhibit A
List of Conveyed Property
[Previously delivered to Funding]





Exhibit B
Form of Assignment
Dated as of [ ], 20[ ]
Reference is made to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2021, as amended from time to time (the “Agreement”), by and between Credit Acceptance Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Credit Acceptance”), and CAC Warehouse Funding LLC II, a Delaware limited liability company (“Funding”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
Exhibit A attached hereto (page captioned “Wells Fargo Warehouse”) contains a cumulative list of Dealer Loans, and Exhibit B attached hereto (page captioned “Wells Fargo Warehouse”) contains a cumulative list of Purchased Loans, in each case that remain transferred or will be transferred pursuant to the Agreement as of [_____], 20[__]. The Dealer Loans listed on Exhibit A (page captioned “Wells Fargo Warehouse”) and the Purchased Loans listed on Exhibit B (page captioned “Wells Fargo Warehouse”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Conveyed Loans.”
Pursuant to the Agreement, for good and valuable consideration paid by Funding, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Credit Acceptance does hereby (i) contribute, convey, assign, sell and transfer, to the extent not previously contributed, conveyed, assigned, sold or transferred, and (ii) confirm each prior contribution, conveyance, assignment, sale or transfer, in each case without recourse, except as set forth in the Agreement, to Funding all of its right, title and interest in and to: (A) the Conveyed Loans; (B) all Related Security; (C) all of Credit Acceptance’s right, title and interest in and to the Transaction Documents and the assignment to the Collateral Agent of all UCC financing statements filed against Credit Acceptance under or in connection with the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and (D) all income, Collections (other than Dealer Collections) and Proceeds of the foregoing, and Funding hereby accepts as a sale and/or contribution, and hereby purchases, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and this Assignment, all such Conveyed Loans, Related Security and such other property listed herein.
The list of Conveyed Loans attached hereto shall be deemed to update (i) the current Exhibit A to the Agreement as previously delivered to Funding and (ii) the current Schedule IV to the Loan and Security Agreement as previously delivered to the Servicer and the Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any deletions or omissions from Exhibit A to the Agreement or Schedule IV to the Loan and Security Agreement shall not be effective except upon compliance with the procedures and requirements of Section 2.13, Section 4.5 or Section 8.2 of the Loan and Security Agreement or Section 6.1 of the Agreement.
It is the express intent of Credit Acceptance and Funding that the conveyance of the Subsequent Conveyed Property by Credit Acceptance to Funding pursuant to this Assignment be construed as an absolute sale and contribution of such Subsequent Conveyed Property by Credit




Acceptance to Funding and that Credit Acceptance relinquishes all right, title and control over the Subsequent Conveyed Property upon the transfer of each such Subsequent Conveyed Property under this Assignment. Further, it is not the intention of Credit Acceptance and Funding that such conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in such Subsequent Conveyed Property by Credit Acceptance to Funding in the nature of a consensual lien securing an obligation. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, the Subsequent Conveyed Property is construed to constitute property of Credit Acceptance, then the conveyance by Credit Acceptance provided for in this Assignment shall be deemed to be a grant of a security interest. In furtherance thereof, Credit Acceptance hereby grants to Funding, a security interest in, to and under all of Credit Acceptance’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Subsequent Conveyed Property, including, in any event the loans described on Exhibits A and B hereto, to secure the obligations of Credit Acceptance set forth in the Agreement.
This Assignment and the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon Credit Acceptance, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Funding, its successors and assigns.
This Assignment is expressly subject to the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of Credit Acceptance and Funding has caused this Assignment to be executed in its name by a duly authorized representative as of the date first set forth above.

(iii)On the third anniversary of the Grant Date: [●] shares;
(iv)On the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date: [●] shares.
3.Option Exercise.
(a)To the extent not previously exercised, vested installments shall accumulate and the Optionee may exercise them thereafter in whole or in part. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable after the date which is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).



(b)The Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the process and procedures established by the Company and communicated to the Optionee. If no such procedures are communicated, the Option shall be exercisable by a written notice in the form attached hereto which shall:
(i)state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is being exercised by the Optionee;
(ii)be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option, and if the Option is being exercised by a person or persons other than the Optionee, be accompanied by (i) proof satisfactory to the Company’s legal counsel of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option and (ii) evidence that such person or persons other than the Optionee have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Option to the same extent as the Optionee; and
(iii)be in writing and delivered to the General Counsel of the Company pursuant to the Notice provision set forth in Section 9(c) of this Agreement.
(c)Payment of the full exercise price of any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised shall accompany the exercise of the Option. Payment shall be made in accordance with the process and procedures established by the Company and communicated to the Optionee which may include, if the Company so approves, payment (i) in cash or by certified check, bank draft or money order; (ii) by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock then owned by the Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer or with duly executed stock power attached, which shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise and payment or (iii) by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker designated by the Company to deliver to the Company a sufficient amount of cash to pay the exercise price and any applicable income and employment withholding taxes (“Cashless Exercise”). At the election of the Optionee, payment may also be made, in accordance with the process and procedures established by the Company and communicated to the Optionee, by withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of an Option, which shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise and payment (“Net Exercise”).
4.Termination of Employment.
(a)Termination Prior to Option Becoming Vested and Exercisable. If, prior to the date that the Option shall first become exercisable the Optionee’s employment shall be terminated, with or without Cause, or by the death, Disability, retirement or other voluntary cessation of employment of the Optionee, the Optionee’s right to vest in the Option shall terminate and all rights hereunder shall cease.
7



(b)Termination After Option Becomes Vested and Exercisable. If, on or after the date that the Option shall first become exercisable, the Optionee’s employment shall be terminated for any reason, the Optionee shall have the right, prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) six (6) months after such termination of employment, to exercise the Option to the extent that it was vested and exercisable and is unexercised on the date of such termination of employment, subject to any other limitation on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, determine in its sole discretion that any portion of the Option held by an Optionee whose termination of employment from the Company is by reason of retirement (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) that has become vested and is unexercised prior to the retirement of the Optionee shall remain exercisable by the Optionee until the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) two (2) years after such termination of employment, subject to any other limitation on exercise in effect at the date of exercise.
5.Withholding. The Optionee consents to withholding from this compensation of all applicable payroll and income taxes with respect to the Option. If the Optionee is no longer employed by the Company at the time any applicable taxes with respect to the Option are due and must be remitted by the Company, the Optionee agrees to pay applicable taxes to the Company, and the Company may delay issuance of a certificate or recording the ownership of the Common Stock on the books of the Company until proper payment of such taxes has been made by the Optionee. If the Company so approves, the Optionee may satisfy his obligations under this Section 5 by (i) tendering previously-acquired shares of Common Stock or having shares of Common Stock withheld from the shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise, provided that the shares have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option sufficient to satisfy in whole or in part the applicable withholding taxes; or (ii) utilizing the Cashless Exercise procedure described in Section 3(d). In addition, at the election of the Optionee, the Optionee may satisfy his obligations under this Section by utilizing the Net Exercise procedure described in Section 3(d).
6.Rights as Shareholder. The Optionee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Common Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such Optionee (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date such shares of Common Stock are issued. The Company shall not be required to make any book entries evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 7.05 of the Plan.
7



7.Non-transferability. Options may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer of an Option shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will or such evidence as the Company may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.
8.Administration. This Agreement and the rights of the Optionee hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Optionee. Any inconsistency between the Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. The Option shall be null and void, and will be forfeited without consideration to the Optionee, in the event that the Shareholder Approval is not obtained.
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control:
(i)With respect to each outstanding Option that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, in the event that an Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any Affiliate thereof without Cause or by the Optionee for Good Reason in each case during the twenty-four (24) month period following such Change of Control, such Option shall become fully vested and exercisable.
(ii)With respect to each outstanding Option that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, immediately upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, such Option shall become fully vested and exercisable.
(iii)For purposes of this Section 9(a), an Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Option is of comparable value and remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control except that, if the Option related to shares of Common Stock, the Option instead confers the right to receive common stock of the acquiring or ultimate parent entity.
(iv)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that each Option shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or
7



securities in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the consideration paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in Control over the exercise or purchase price (if any) per share of the Common Stock subject to the Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Option.
(b)Adjustments. If the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock which thereafter may be made the subject of the Options, (ii) the number and type of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Options, and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any Option, or, if deemed appropriate, cancel outstanding Options and make provision for a cash payment to the holders thereof.
(c)Notices. Any written notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, as appropriate either to the Optionee or to the General Counsel of the Company, delivered electronically, or when deposited in a United States Post Office as registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as appropriate either to the Optionee at his or her address as he or she may designate in writing to the Company, or to the Attention: General Counsel, Credit Acceptance Corporation, at its headquarters office or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Optionee.
(d)Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
(e)Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Michigan.
(f)Provision of Plan. The Options provided for herein and granted pursuant to the Plan, and said Options and this Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Agreement, solely by reference or expressly cited herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement.
7



(g)Section 16 Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
(h)Code Section 409A. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent, Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the awards are granted. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any award is subject to and may or does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Company may adopt such amendments to the award (without the Optionee’s consent) or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the award from the application of Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(b)The Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the process and procedures established by the Company and communicated to the Optionee. If no such procedures are communicated, the Option shall be exercisable by a written notice in the form attached hereto which shall:
(i)state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is being exercised by the Optionee;
(ii)be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option, and if the Option is being exercised by a person or persons other than the Optionee, be accompanied by (i) proof satisfactory to the Company’s legal counsel of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option and (ii) evidence that such person or persons other than the Optionee have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Option to the same extent as the Optionee; and

(c)Payment of the full exercise price of any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised shall accompany the exercise of the Option.

At the election of the Optionee, payment may also be made, in accordance with the process and procedures established by the Company and communicated to the Optionee, by withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of an Option, which shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise and payment (“Net Exercise”).
4.Termination of Service.
(a)Termination Prior to Option Becoming Vested and Exercisable. If, prior to the date that the Option shall first become exercisable the Optionee’s service shall be terminated, with or without Cause, or by the death, Disability, retirement or other voluntary cessation of service of the Optionee, the Optionee’s right to vest in the Option shall terminate and all rights hereunder shall cease.
7



(b)Termination After Option Becomes Vested and Exercisable. If, on or after the date that the Option shall first become exercisable, the Optionee’s service shall be terminated for any reason, the Optionee shall have the right, prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) six (6) months after such termination of service, to exercise the Option to the extent that it was vested and exercisable and is unexercised on the date of such termination of service, subject to any other limitation on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise.

5.Taxes. The Optionee understands that the Optionee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.Rights as Shareholder. The Optionee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Common Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such Optionee (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

7



the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Optionee. Any inconsistency between the Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan.

7



potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock which thereafter may be made the subject of the Options, (ii) the number and type of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Options, and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any Option, or, if deemed appropriate, cancel outstanding Options and make provision for a cash payment to the holders thereof.
