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, 2023 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, 2023 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 September 30, 2024 for items that could potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. We did not identify any items that would require disclosure in or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2.           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions 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 desire to provide an opportunity to consumers to improve their 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.

The majority 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 seven 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 are granted access to our Portfolio Program upon enrollment. Access to the Purchase Program is typically only granted to Dealers that meet one of the following:

assigned at least 50 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 innovative financing solutions that enable automobile 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $158.6 million and $12.8 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $551.8 million and $453.7 million, respectively, in restricted cash and cash equivalents that were not insured by the FDIC.

$716.3 $470.9 $438.2 $417.7 

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 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 Policy. 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 are no longer material to our consolidated financial statements. Consumer Loans assigned to us on or subsequent to January 1, 2020 are accounted for as originated financial assets (“Originated Method”).

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.

The effective interest rate and initial allowance for credit losses are significantly higher for Consumer Loans assigned under the Purchase Program than for Consumer Loans assigned under the Portfolio Program, as contractual net cash flows exceed expected net cash flows by a significantly greater margin under the Purchase Program. Under the Purchase Program, we retain all contractual collections that exceed our initial expectations. Under the Portfolio Program, contractual collections that exceed our initial expectations are substantially offset by additional Dealer Holdback payments.

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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
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. 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.

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. The vast majority 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 for 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 a 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. During the second quarter of 2024, we applied an adjustment to our methodology for forecasting the amount of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio, which reduced the forecasted collection rates for Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024. During the second quarter of 2023, we adjusted our methodology for forecasting the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio through the utilization of more recent Consumer Loan performance and Consumer Loan prepayment data. For additional information, see Note 6. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 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). The effective interest rate is based on contractual future net cash flows.

We report the change in the present value of credit losses attributable to the passage of time as a reduction to finance charges. Accordingly, 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

Our wholly owned subsidiary VSC Re Company (“VSC Re”) 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 TPPs. 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 Updates Not Yet Adopted

Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If, by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances the required disclosures for operating segments in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted but we have not yet adopted ASU 2023-07. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, but we have not yet adopted ASU 2023-09. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have 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, corporate bonds, and municipal securities 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 by utilizing the discount rate used to calculate the value of our Loans under our non-GAAP floating yield methodology.

Revolving Secured Lines 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 certain asset-backed secured financings (“Term ABS” financings) is determined using quoted market prices in an active market. For our warehouse facilities and certain other Term ABS financings, 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 was 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 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 the Loan's assignment to us for contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize; and
finance charge revenue in subsequent periods that is significantly in excess of our expected yield.

(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 for each Consumer Loan subsequent to assignment primarily through the monitoring of consumer payment behavior.

During the second quarter of 2024, we applied an adjustment to our methodology for forecasting the amount of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio, which reduced the forecasted collection rates for Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024. Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 had continued to underperform our expectations for several quarters. More recently, Consumer Loans assigned in 2023 had also begun exhibiting similar trends of underperformance, although not as severe as Consumer Loans assigned in 2022. During the second quarter of 2024, we determined that we had sufficient Consumer Loan performance experience to estimate the magnitude by which we expected Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 would likely underperform our historical collection rates on Consumer Loans with similar characteristics. Accordingly, we applied an adjustment to Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 to reduce forecasted collection rates to what we believed the ultimate collection rates would be based on these trends. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of this forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2024 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%, and increased provision for credit losses by $127.5 million.

During the second quarter of 2023, we adjusted our methodology for forecasting the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio through the utilization of more recent Consumer Loan performance and Consumer Loan prepayment data. We had experienced a decrease in Consumer Loan prepayments to below-average levels and as a result, slowed our forecasted net cash flow timing. Historically, Consumer Loan prepayments have been lower in periods with less availability of consumer credit. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of the adjustment to our forecasting methodology during the second quarter of 2023 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $44.5 million, or 0.5%, and increased provision for credit losses by $71.3 million.

As the vast majority of our team members now work remotely, we had significant excess space in the two office buildings that we owned in Southfield, Michigan. During the second quarter of 2024, we sold the larger building for net sales proceeds of $3.2 million, and recognized a loss on sale of the building of $23.7 million. The loss on sale of the building represented the amount by which the $26.9 million carrying value of the building and its improvements, the related land and land improvements, and office furniture and equipment exceeded the net sales proceeds of $3.2 million.

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.

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.

Remarketing fees consist of fees charged to Dealers that are 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.

Revolving Secured Lines of Credit

We have two revolving secured lines of credit: (1) a $390.0 million revolving secured line of credit facility, to which we refer as our revolving secured line of credit facility, with a commercial bank syndicate and (2) an uncommitted $20.0 million revolving secured line of credit facility, to which we refer as the RTP facility, with a lender for use solely in facilitating payments by the Company through the lender’s real-time payments service.

Borrowings under our 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 governing our revolving secured line of credit facility, less a hedging reserve (not exceeding $1.0 million), and the amount of other debt secured by the collateral that secures our revolving secured line of credit facility. Borrowings under our revolving secured line of credit facility are secured by a lien on most of our assets that do not secure obligations under our Warehouse facilities or Term ABS financings.

Borrowings under the RTP facility are secured by a lien on the same collateral that secures obligations under our revolving secured line of credit facility. The RTP facility terminates automatically if the lender ceases to be part of the commercial bank syndicate under our revolving secured line of credit facility or if its lending commitments under our revolving secured line of credit facility are terminated.

Warehouse Facilities

We have five Warehouse facilities with total borrowing capacity of $1,275.0 million. Each of the facilities is with a different lender or group of lenders. Under each Warehouse facility, we can convey Loans to the applicable wholly owned subsidiary in return for cash and/or an increase in the value of our equity in such subsidiary. In turn, each such subsidiary pledges the Loans as collateral to secure financing that will fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Loans. The financing provided to each such subsidiary under the applicable facility is generally limited to the lesser of 80% of the outstanding balance of the conveyed Loans, as determined in accordance with the applicable agreement, plus certain restricted cash and cash equivalents pledged as collateral, 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 (other than customary, limited recourse to us in the form of repurchase obligations or indemnification obligations for any violations by us of our representations or obligations as seller, servicer, or custodian), even though we are consolidated for financial reporting purposes with the subsidiaries. Because the subsidiaries are organized as bankruptcy-remote legal entities separate from us, their assets (including the conveyed Loans) are not available to any creditors other than the creditors of the applicable subsidiary.

The subsidiaries pay us a monthly servicing fee equal to either 4% or 6%, depending upon the facility, of the collections received with respect to the conveyed 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 in its revolving period, the applicable subsidiary is entitled to the portion of such collections available after the payment of interest and transaction expenses under the facility, 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 each of these transactions, we conveyed Loans on an arms-length basis to a Funding LLC for cash and the sole membership interest in that Funding LLC. In turn, each Funding LLC, other than the Funding LLCs for the Term ABS 2019-2, 2021-1, 2022-2, and 2023-A financings, conveyed the Loans to the respective trusts that issued notes to qualified institutional investors. The Funding LLCs for the Term ABS 2019-2, 2021-1, 2022-2, and 2023-A financings pledged the Loans for the benefit of their respective lenders. The Term ABS 2021-3, 2021-4, 2023-1, 2023-2, 2023-3, 2023-A, 2023-5, 2024-A, 2024-1, 2024-2, and 2024-3 financings each consist of three classes of notes (or, in the case of the Term ABS 2023-A, three classes of loans), while the Term ABS 2022-1 and Term ABS 2022-3 financings consist of four classes of notes.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Each Term ABS financing at the time of issuance has a specified revolving period during which we are likely to convey additional Loans to the applicable Funding LLC. Each Funding LLC (other than the Funding LLCs of the Term ABS 2019-2, 2021-1, 2022-2, and 2023-A financings) will then convey 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 Term ABS financings create indebtedness for which the applicable trust or Funding LLC is liable and which is secured by all the assets of the applicable trust or Funding LLC. Such indebtedness is non-recourse to us (other than customary, limited recourse to us in the form of repurchase obligations or indemnification obligations for any violations by us of our representations or obligations as seller, servicer, or custodian), even though we are consolidated for financial reporting purposes with the trusts and the Funding LLCs. Because the trusts and the Funding LLCs are organized as bankruptcy-remote legal entities separate from us, their assets (including the conveyed Loans) are not available to any creditors other than the creditors of the applicable subsidiary. We receive a monthly servicing fee on each financing equal to either 4% or 6%, depending upon the financing, of the collections received with respect to the conveyed Loans. The fee is paid out of the collections. Except for the servicing fee and Dealer Holdback payments due to Dealers, if a Term ABS financing 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 Term ABS financing is in its revolving period, the applicable trust or Funding LLC is entitled to the portion of such collections available after application of any amounts necessary to acquire additional Loans from us and to pay accrued interest on the debt and any other transaction expenses, provided that any necessary principal payments are made to compensate for certain reductions in the balance of eligible loans or, in the case of the Term ABS 2019-2 financing and Term ABS financings occurring after the Term ABS 2021-3 financing, certain reductions in forecasted collections. In addition, in our capacity as servicer of the Loans, we 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 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 19, 2023, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.250% senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 senior notes”). The 2028 senior notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 19, 2023, 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 the trustee under the indenture.

The 2028 senior notes mature on December 15, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 9.250% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2024. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2028 senior notes to repurchase or redeem all of the $400.0 million outstanding principal amount of our 5.125% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 senior notes”), of which $322.3 million was repurchased on December 19, 2023 and the remaining $77.7 million was redeemed on December 31, 2023. We used the remaining net proceeds from the 2028 senior notes for general corporate purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million related to the repurchase and redemption of the 2024 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 the trustee under the indenture.

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 2028 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

We had a $9.0 million mortgage note with a commercial bank that was 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 was paid off in full during the second quarter of 2024 in connection with the sale of the related building.

Debt Covenants

As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 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. 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 conveyed assets.

Our Term ABS financings also contain covenants that measure the performance of the conveyed assets. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under our Term ABS financings, the senior notes indentures, and the RTP facility.

Other0.0 %0.1 %0.1 %0.1 %
Effective income tax rate26.0 %26.6 %30.2 %23.4 %

State and local income taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of state and local income taxes on our effective income tax rate decreased from the same period in 2023, primarily due to the settlement of an uncertain tax position during the third quarter of 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of state and local income taxes on our effective income tax rate increased from the same period in 2023, primarily due to:
An adjustment to an uncertain tax position estimate during the second quarter of 2024, which increased our effective income tax rate by 230 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
•    Changes in state tax laws that were enacted during the second quarter of 2024, which are expected to increase our long-term effective tax rate by approximately 10 basis points. The enactment of these tax law changes increased our effective income tax rate by 70 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Non-deductible executive compensation expense

We recognize non-deductible executive compensation expense as an increase of provision for income taxes or a reduction of benefit for income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of non-deductible executive compensation expense on our effective income tax rate increased from the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation

We recognize an excess tax benefit or tax deficiency when the deduction for the stock-based compensation expense of a stock award for tax purposes differs from the cumulative stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements. The excess tax benefit or tax deficiency is recognized in provision for income taxes in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined, which is when restricted stock units are settled in common stock or stock options are exercised. Excess tax benefits reduce our effective income tax rate, while tax deficiencies increase our effective income tax rate. The decrease in the impact of excess tax benefits on our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the number of restricted stock units that were settled in common stock during the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to the timing of long-term stock award grants, partially offset by a decrease in pre-tax income.

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, we can grant stock-based awards in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock options to team members, officers, directors, and contractors. Instead of a short-term compensation program providing for rolling, annual equity awards to our executive officers and senior leaders, we utilize a multi-year compensation program that grants a one-time equity award at the beginning of the compensation program period that is intended to incentivize recipients over the multi-year compensation period. Our current compensation program for executive officers and senior leaders covers the 2021 through 2024 compensation period and included a one-time equity award in December 2020 with a vesting period of four years. Based on the stock-based awards that are currently outstanding, we expect to recognize the future stock-based compensation expense as follows:

16.        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 the 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 or they may file individual arbitration demands for which arbitration providers may request separate filing fees. 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, 2023.

On December 1, 2021, we received a subpoena from the Office of the Attorney General for the State of California seeking documents and information regarding GAP products, GAP product administration, and refunds. We are cooperating with this 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 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. After May 7, 2019 through April 30, 2021, we received additional subpoenas from the Office of the New York State Attorney General relating to the Company’s origination, collection, and securitization practices. On November 19, 2020 and August 23, 2022, we received letters from the Office of the New York State Attorney General indicating that it may commence litigation against the Company asserting violations of New York Executive Law § 63(12) and New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 352 et seq. and applicable federal laws, including but not limited to claims that the Company engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices in auto lending, debt collection, and asset-backed securitizations in the State of New York in violation of 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. See the description below of the lawsuit commenced by the Office of the New York State Attorney General on January 4, 2023.

On April 22, 2019, we received a civil investigative demand from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“Bureau”) seeking, among other things, certain information relating to the Company’s origination and collection of Consumer Loans, TPPs, and credit reporting. After April 22, 2019 through March 7, 2022, we received additional subpoenas from the Bureau. On December 6, 2021, we received a Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise letter from the Staff of the Office of Enforcement (“Staff”) of the Bureau, stating that the Staff was considering whether to recommend that the Bureau take legal action against the Company for alleged violations of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (the “CFPA”) in connection with the Company’s consumer loan origination practices. See the description below of the lawsuit commenced by the Bureau on January 4, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONCLUDED)
(UNAUDITED)
On January 4, 2023, the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the Bureau jointly filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company engaged in deceptive practices, fraud, illegality, and securities fraud in violation of New York Executive Law § 63(12) and New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 352, and that the Company engaged in deceptive and abusive acts and provided substantial assistance to a covered person or service provider in violation of the CFPA, 12 U.S.C. § 5531 and 12 U.S.C. § 5536(a)(1)(B). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, an accounting of all consumers for whom the Company provided financing, restitution, damages, disgorgement, civil penalties, and payment of costs. On March 14, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On August 7, 2023, the court stayed the action pending the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., No. 22-448 (“CFSA”). On July 1, 2024, the court lifted the stay in view of the decision in CFSA and requested revised briefing on the Company’s motion to dismiss that would address the intervening legal developments and sharpen the issues for resolution. As of October 29, 2024, the Company's motion to dismiss has been fully briefed. We are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this litigation. 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 41 other states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, 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. The Company has been informed that the State of Kansas, the State of Texas, and the State of Iowa have withdrawn from the multistate investigation. We are cooperating with these investigations and cannot predict their 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.

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.

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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Part I - Item 1 - Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions 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 September 30, 2024, consolidated net income was $78.8 million, or $6.35 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income of $70.8 million, or $5.43 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in finance charges, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included:

A similar decline in forecasted collection rates
A decline in forecasted collection rates decreased forecasted net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $62.8 million, or 0.6%, compared to a decrease in forecasted collection rates during the third quarter of 2023 that decreased forecasted net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $69.4 million, or 0.7%.
A decrease in forecasted profitability for Consumer Loans assigned in 2021 through 2024
Forecasted profitability was lower than our estimates at September 30, 2023, due to both a decline in forecasted collection rates and slower forecasted net cash flow timing since the third quarter of 2023. The slower forecasted net cash flow timing was primarily a result of a decrease in Consumer Loan prepayments, which remain at below-average levels.
Growth in Consumer Loan assignment volume and the average balance of our Loan portfolio
Unit and dollar volumes grew 17.7% and 12.2%, respectively, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The average balance of our Loan portfolio, which is our largest-ever, increased 14.9% as compared to the third quarter of 2023.
An increase in the initial spread on Consumer Loan assignments
The initial spread increased to 21.9% compared to 21.4% on Consumer Loans assigned in the third quarter of 2023.
An increase in our average cost of debt
Our average cost of debt increased from 5.8% to 7.3%, primarily a result of higher interest rates on recently completed or extended secured financings and recently issued senior notes and the repayment of older secured financings and senior notes with lower interest rates.
A decrease in common shares outstanding due to stock repurchases
Since the third quarter of 2023, we have repurchased approximately 566,000 shares, or 4.5% of the shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023. There were no stock repurchases during the third quarter of 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consolidated net income was $96.0 million, or $7.68 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income of $192.5 million, or $14.73 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to increases in interest expense and provision for credit losses on forecast changes, partially offset by an increase in finance charges. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included:

A larger decline in forecasted collection rates
The decline in forecasted collection rates decreased forecasted net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $282.9 million, or 2.8%, compared to a decrease in forecasted collection rates during the first nine months of 2023 that decreased forecasted net cash flows from our Loan portfolio by $149.3 million, or 1.7%. The $282.9 million decrease in forecasted net cash flows for the first nine months of 2024 was composed of an ordinary decrease in forecasted net cash flows of $135.7 million, or 1.4%, and an adjustment applied to our forecasting methodology during the second quarter of 2024, which upon implementation, reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%. The $149.3 million decrease in forecasted net cash flows for the first nine months of 2023 was composed of an ordinary decrease in forecasted net cash flows of $104.8 million, or 1.2%, and an adjustment to our forecasting methodology, which upon implementation, reduced forecasted net cash flows by $44.5 million, or 0.5%.
A decrease in forecasted profitability for Consumer Loans assigned in 2021 through 2024 as described above
Growth in Consumer Loan assignment volume and the average balance of our Loan portfolio
Unit and dollar volumes grew 21.0% and 16.3%, respectively, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. The average balance of our Loan portfolio, which is our largest-ever, increased 13.5% as compared to the first nine months of 2023.
An increase in the initial spread on Consumer Loan assignments
The initial spread increased to 22.0% compared to 21.2% on Consumer Loans assigned in the first nine months of 2023.
An increase in our average cost of debt
Our average cost of debt increased from 5.3% to 7.2%, primarily due to the factors described above.
A decrease in common shares outstanding due to stock repurchases as described above
Loss on sale of building
We recognized a $23.7 million loss during the second quarter of 2024 related to the sale of one of our two office buildings. The building was sold to reduce excess office space and eliminate the associated annual operating costs of approximately $2.1 million.

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 the objective to maximize economic profit over the long term. Economic profit is a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our financial results and determine profit-sharing for team members. We also use economic profit as a framework to evaluate business decisions and strategies. 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.


47


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 for 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 aggregated forecast of Consumer Loan collection rates as of September 30, 2024, with the aggregated forecasts as of June 30, 2024, as of December 31, 2023, 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.
(2)The forecasted collection rate for 2024 Consumer Loans as of September 30, 2024 includes both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of June 30, 2024 and Consumer Loans assigned during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates for each of these segments:

July 1, 2024 through September 30, 202467.0 %— 67.3 %— -0.3 %

Consumer Loans assigned in 2018 through 2020 have yielded forecasted collection results significantly better than our initial estimates, while Consumer Loans assigned in 2015, 2016, and 2021 through 2023 have yielded forecasted collection results significantly 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 September 30, 2024, forecasted collection rates declined for Consumer Loans assigned in 2021 through 2024 and were generally consistent with expectations at the start of the period for all other assignment years presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, forecasted collection rates improved for Consumer Loans assigned in 2019, declined for Consumer Loans assigned in 2021 through 2024, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 impacted forecasted net cash flows (forecasted collections less forecasted Dealer Holdback payments) as follows:

During the second quarter of 2024, we applied an adjustment to our methodology for forecasting the amount of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio, which reduced the forecasted collection rates for Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024. Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 had continued to underperform our expectations for several quarters. More recently, Consumer Loans assigned in 2023 had also begun exhibiting similar trends of underperformance, although not as severe as Consumer Loans assigned in 2022. During the second quarter of 2024, we determined that we had sufficient Consumer Loan performance experience to estimate the magnitude by which we expected Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 would likely underperform our historical collection rates on Consumer Loans with similar characteristics. Accordingly, we applied an adjustment to Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 to reduce forecasted collection rates to what we believed the ultimate collection rates would be based on these trends. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of this forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2024 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%, and increased provision for credit losses by $127.5 million.

During the second quarter of 2023, we adjusted our methodology for forecasting the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio through the utilization of more recent Consumer Loan performance and Consumer Loan prepayment data. We had experienced a decrease in Consumer Loan prepayments to below-average levels and as a result, slowed our forecasted net cash flow timing. Historically, Consumer Loan prepayments have been lower in periods with less availability of consumer credit. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of the adjustment to our forecasting methodology during the second quarter of 2023 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $44.5 million, or 0.5%, and increased provision for credit losses by $71.3 million.

We have experienced increased levels of uncertainty associated with our estimate of the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio since the beginning of 2020, with realized collections underperforming our expectations during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, outperforming our expectations following the distribution of federal stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits, and underperforming our expectations during the current economic environment. For the period from January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2024, the cumulative change to our forecast of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio has been a decrease of $269.1 million, or 3.0%, as shown in the following table:

The profitability of our loans is primarily driven by the amount and timing of the net cash flows we receive from the spread between the forecasted collection rate and the advance rate, less operating expenses and the cost of capital. 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 across our portfolio, even if collection rates are less than we initially forecast.

The following table presents aggregate forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates, and spreads (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate), and the percentage of the forecasted collections that had been realized as of September 30, 2024, as well as forecasted collection rates and spreads at the time of assignment. 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.

(3)The forecasted collection rate, advance rate and spread for 2024 Consumer Loans as of September 30, 2024 include both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of June 30, 2024 and Consumer Loans assigned during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates, advance rates, and spreads for each of these segments:

The risk of a material change in our forecasted collection rate declines as the Consumer Loans age. For 2020 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 as of September 30, 2024 and the advance rate ranges from 13.2% to 23.7%, on an annual basis, for Consumer Loans assigned over the last 10 years. The spreads with respect to 2019 and 2020 Consumer Loans have been positively impacted by Consumer Loan performance, which has exceeded our initial estimates by a greater margin than the other years presented. The spread with respect to 2022 Consumer Loans has been negatively impacted by Consumer Loan performance, which has been lower than our initial estimates by a greater margin than the other years presented. The higher spread for 2024 Consumer Loans relative to 2023 Consumer Loans as of September 30, 2024 was primarily a result of Consumer Loan performance, as the performance of 2023 Consumer Loans has been lower than our initial estimates by a greater margin than 2024 Consumer Loans. Additionally, 2024 Consumer Loans had a higher initial spread, which was primarily due to a decrease in the advance rate.

(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.

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 as of September 30, 2024 on 2024 Dealer Loans was 21.2%, as compared to a spread of 18.3% on 2023 Dealer Loans. The increase was due to Consumer Loan performance, as the performance of 2023 Dealer Loans has been lower than our initial estimates by a greater margin than 2024 Dealer Loans.

The spread as of September 30, 2024 on 2024 Purchased Loans was 21.5%, as compared to a spread of 17.8% on 2023 Purchased Loans. The increase was primarily a result of a higher initial spread on 2024 Purchased Loans, due to a higher initial forecast and lower advance rate. Additionally, the performance of 2023 Purchased Loans has been lower than our initial estimates by a greater margin than 2024 Purchased Loans.

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 3.8 to 1 as of September 30, 2024. We currently utilize the following primary forms of debt financing: (1) our revolving secured line of credit facility; (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 grew 17.7% and 12.2%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2024 as the number of active Dealers grew 8.8% and the average unit volume per active Dealer increased 8.4%. Dollar volume increased less than unit volume during the third quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in the average advance paid, due to decreases in the average size of Consumer Loans assigned and the average advance rate. Unit volume for the 28-day period ended October 28, 2024 grew 4.6% compared to the same period in 2023.

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. Under the GAAP methodology we employ, which is known as the current expected credit loss model, or CECL, we are required to recognize:
a significant provision for credit losses expense at the time of the Loan’s assignment to us for contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize; and
finance charge revenue in subsequent periods that is significantly in excess of our expected yield.

Due to the GAAP treatment of contractual net cash flows we do not expect to realize at the time of loan assignment (i.e. significant expense at the time of loan assignment, which is offset by higher revenue in subsequent periods), we do not believe the GAAP methodology we employ provides sufficient transparency into the economics of our business, including our results of operations, financial condition, and financial leverage. For additional information, see Note 3 and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The following table summarizes the impact each component had on the overall increase in finance charges for the three months ended September 30, 2024:
(In millions)Year over Year Change
Impact on finance charges:For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Due to an increase in the average net Loans receivable balance$66.0 
Due to a decrease in the average yield(0.1)
Total increase in finance charges$65.9 

The increase in the average net Loans receivable balance was primarily due to the dollar volume of new Consumer Loan assignments exceeding the principal collected on Loans receivable.

Premiums Earned. The increase of $4.3 million, or 20.7%, was primarily due to growth in the size of our reinsurance portfolio, which resulted from growth in new Consumer Loan assignments and an increase in the average premium written per reinsured vehicle service contract in recent periods.

Operating Expenses. The increase of $18.9 million, or 17.1%, was primarily due to:
An increase in salaries and wages expense of $10.6 million, or 15.9%, primarily due to increases in (i) the number of team members as we are investing in our business with the goal of increasing the speed at which we enhance our product for Dealers and consumers and (ii) fringe benefits, primarily due to higher medical claims.
An increase in general and administrative expenses of $7.7 million, or 36.2%, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses.

Provision for Credit Losses. Provision for credit losses remained relatively consistent, increasing by $0.1 million, or 0.1%.

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:

Interest. The increase in interest expense of $40.7 million, or 57.7%, was due to:
An increase in our average cost of debt, which increased interest expense by $22.6 million, primarily as a result of higher interest rates on recently completed or extended secured financings and recently issued senior notes and the repayment of older secured financings and senior notes with lower interest rates.
An increase in our average outstanding debt balance, which increased interest expense by $18.1 million, primarily due to borrowings used to fund the growth of our Loan portfolio and stock repurchases.

The following table presents the change in interest expense, average outstanding debt balance, and average cost of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023:

Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the effective income tax rate decreased to 26.0% from 26.6% for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the settlement of an uncertain tax position for state income taxes during the third quarter of 2024. For additional information, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The following table summarizes the impact each component had on the overall increase in finance charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
(In millions)Year over Year Change
Impact on finance charges:For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Due to an increase in the average net Loans receivable balance$175.7 
Due to a decrease in the average yield(5.0)
Total increase in finance charges$170.7 

The increase in the average net Loans receivable balance was primarily due to the dollar volume of new Consumer Loan assignments exceeding the principal collected on Loans receivable.

Premiums Earned. The increase of $13.3 million, or 22.9%, was primarily due to growth in the size of our reinsurance portfolio, which resulted from growth in new Consumer Loan assignments and an increase in the average premium written per reinsured vehicle service contract in recent periods.
Operating Expenses. The increase of $35.1 million, or 10.2%, was primarily due to:
An increase in salaries and wages expense of $17.5 million, or 8.2%, primarily due to increases in (i) the number of team members as we are investing in our business with the goal of increasing the speed at which we enhance our product for Dealers and consumers and (ii) fringe benefits, primarily due to higher medical claims.
An increase in general and administrative expense of $16.1 million, or 26.9%, primarily due to increases in legal and technology systems expenses.

Provision for Credit Losses. The increase of $118.8 million, or 20.8%, was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses on forecast changes.

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 Nine Months Ended September 30,
Provision for Credit Losses20242023Change
Forecast changes$430.9 $319.4 $111.5 
New Consumer Loan assignments260.4 253.1 7.3 
Total$691.3 $572.5 $118.8 

The increase in provision for credit losses related to forecast changes was primarily due to a greater decline in Consumer Loan performance during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023.

During the first nine months of 2024, we decreased our estimate of future net cash flows by $282.9 million, or 2.8%, to reflect a decline in forecasted collection rates during the period and slowed our forecasted net cash flow timing to reflect a decrease in Consumer Loan prepayments, which remain at below-average levels. Historically, Consumer Loan prepayments have been lower in periods with less availability of consumer credit. The $282.9 million decrease in forecasted net cash flows for the first nine months of 2024 was composed of an ordinary decrease in forecasted net cash flows of $135.7 million, or 1.4%, and an adjustment applied to our forecasting methodology during the second quarter of 2024, which upon implementation, reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%, and increased our provision for credit losses by $127.5 million. Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 had continued to underperform our expectations for several quarters. More recently, Consumer Loans assigned in 2023 had also begun exhibiting similar trends of underperformance, although not as severe as Consumer Loans assigned in 2022. During the second quarter of 2024, we determined that we had sufficient Consumer Loan performance experience to estimate the magnitude by which we expected Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 would likely underperform our historical collection rates on Consumer Loans with similar characteristics. Accordingly, we applied an adjustment to Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 to reduce forecasted collection rates to what we believed the ultimate collection rates would be based on these trends.
59


During the first nine months of 2023, we decreased our estimate of future net cash flows by $149.3 million, or 1.7%, to reflect a decline in Consumer Loan prepayments to below-average levels. The $149.3 million decrease in forecasted net cash flows for the first nine months of 2023 was composed of an ordinary decrease in forecasted net cash flows of $104.8 million, or 1.2%, and an adjustment to our forecasting methodology during the second quarter of 2023, which upon implementation, decreased our estimate of future net cash flows by $44.5 million, or 0.5%, and increased our provision for credit losses by $71.3 million. We adjusted our methodology for forecasting the amount and timing of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio through the utilization of more recent Consumer Loan performance and Consumer Loan prepayment data.

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

The increase in provision for credit losses related to new Consumer Loan assignments was due to a 21.0% increase in Consumer Loan assignment unit volume, partially offset by a 15.0% decrease in the average provision per Consumer Loan assignment. The decrease in the average provision per Consumer Loan assignment was due to a lower percentage of Purchased Loans in the mix of Consumer Loan assignments received during 2024, and a decrease in the average advance rates under our Portfolio and Purchase Programs for 2024 Consumer Loans.

Interest. The increase in interest expense of $120.5 million, or 64.2%, was due to:
An increase in our average cost of debt, which increased interest expense by $80.2 million, primarily as a result of higher interest rates on recently completed or extended secured financings and recently issued senior notes and the repayment of older secured financings and senior notes with lower interest rates.
An increase in our average outstanding debt balance, which increased interest expense by $40.3 million, primarily due to borrowings used to fund the growth of our Loan portfolio and stock repurchases.

The following table presents the change in interest expense, average outstanding debt balance, and average cost of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
(Dollars in millions)For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Average cost of debt7.2 %5.3 %1.9 %

Loss on Sale of Building. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a loss on the sale of a building of $23.7 million. For additional information, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our effective income tax rate increased to 30.2% from 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to:
An increase in the impact of state and local income taxes on our effective income tax rate, primarily due to an adjustment to an uncertain tax position estimate during the second quarter of 2024 and changes in state tax laws that were enacted during 2024.
A decrease in the impact of excess tax benefits on our effective income tax rate, primarily due to the timing of long-term stock award grants.
An increase in the impact of non-deductible executive compensation expense on our effective income tax rate, primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

For additional information, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Properties

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our work environment, as the vast majority of our team members began working remotely. Because our remote operations and processes proved successful early on, we now pursue a “remote first” strategy to take advantage of the national talent pool and an increased rate of team member satisfaction. While remote work has become the primary experience for most of our team members, we do have team members that, due to their personal preference or the nature of their responsibilities, have continued to work primarily in one of our office properties. Additionally,
60


we have various on-site meetings, events, and team building activities for which in-person attendance is encouraged. Therefore, we believe we have a continuing need for some amount of office space.

As the vast majority of our team members now work remotely, we had significant excess space in the two office buildings that we owned in Southfield, Michigan. During the second quarter of 2024, we sold the larger building for net sales proceeds of $3.2 million, and recognized a loss on sale of the building of $23.7 million. The loss on sale of the building represented the amount by which the $26.9 million carrying value of the building and its improvements, the related land and land improvements, and office furniture and equipment exceeded the net sales proceeds of $3.2 million.

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) our revolving secured line of credit facility; (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 September 30, 2024. For information regarding these financings and the covenants included in the related documents, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On February 16, 2024, we extended the $100.0 million Term ABS 2021-1 financing and extended the date on which the financing will cease to revolve from December 16, 2024 to February 17, 2026.

On February 27, 2024, we completed a $200.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The financing has an expected average annualized cost of 7.8% (including placement agent fees and other costs), and it will revolve for 36 months, after which it will amortize based upon the cash flows on the underlying Loans.

On March 28, 2024, we completed a $500.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The financing has an expected average annualized cost of 6.4% (including 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 underlying Loans.

On June 17, 2024, we extended the maturity of our revolving secured line of credit facility from June 22, 2026 to June 22, 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under the facility has changed from the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate plus 187.5 basis points to SOFR plus 197.5 basis points.

On June 20, 2024, we completed a $550.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The financing has an expected average annualized cost of 6.5% (including 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 underlying Loans.

On June 21, 2024, we increased the financing amount on the Term ABS 2022-2 financing from $200.0 million to $300.0 million and extended the date on which the financing will cease to revolve from December 15, 2025 to June 15, 2027.

On September 19, 2024, we increased the financing amount on Warehouse Facility II from $400.0 million to $500.0 million and extended the date on which the facility will cease to revolve from April 30, 2026 to September 20, 2027. The interest rate on borrowings under the facility has been decreased from SOFR plus 230 basis points to SOFR plus 185 basis points.

On September 19, 2024, we extended the date on which the $500.0 million Term ABS 2019-2 financing will cease to revolve from August 15, 2025 to September 15, 2026 and increased the interest rate under the financing from 5.15% to 5.43%.

On September 26, 2024, we completed a $600.0 million Term ABS financing, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The financing has an expected average annualized cost of 5.2% (including 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 underlying Loans.

Cash and cash equivalents were $159.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $1,684.0 million and $1,505.8 million, respectively, in unused and
61


available lines of credit. Our total balance sheet indebtedness increased to $6,248.9 million as of September 30, 2024 from $5,067.5 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to the growth in new Consumer Loan assignments and stock repurchases.

A summary of our scheduled principal debt maturities as of September 30, 2024 is as follows:
(In millions) 
YearScheduled Principal Debt Maturities (1)
Remainder of 2024$208.2 
20251,344.8

2028670.6 
Over five years— 
Total$6,290.6 
(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, 2023 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, 2023, except as described below.

During the second quarter of 2024, we applied an adjustment to our methodology for forecasting the amount of future net cash flows from our Loan portfolio, which reduced the forecasted collection rates for Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024. Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 had continued to underperform our expectations for several quarters. More recently, Consumer Loans assigned in 2023 had also begun exhibiting similar trends of underperformance, although not as severe as Consumer Loans assigned in 2022. During the second quarter of 2024, we determined that we had sufficient Consumer Loan performance experience to estimate the magnitude by which we expected Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 would likely underperform our historical collection rates on Consumer Loans with similar characteristics. Accordingly, we applied an adjustment to Consumer Loans assigned in 2022 through 2024 to reduce forecasted collection rates to what we believed the ultimate collection rates would be based on these trends. Changes in the amount and timing of forecasted net cash flows are recognized in the period of change as a provision for credit losses. The implementation of this forecast adjustment during the second quarter of 2024 reduced forecasted net cash flows by $147.2 million, or 1.4%, and increased provision for credit losses by $127.5 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in this report and may make such statements in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We may also make forward-looking statements in our press releases or other public or shareholder communications. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and include information about our expectations and possible or assumed future results of operations. When we use any of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.

We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all of our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our outlook only as of the date of this report. While we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially since the statements are based on our current expectations, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, other risk factors discussed herein or listed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, and the following:

Industry, Operational, and Macroeconomic Risks
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.
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.
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.
An outbreak of contagious disease or other public health emergency could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.
The concentration of 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 engineering personnel could be hindered by immigration restrictions.
We may be unable to execute our business strategy due to current economic conditions.
Natural disasters, climate change, military conflicts, acts of war, terrorist attacks and threats, or the escalation of military activity in response to terrorist attacks or otherwise may negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Governmental or market responses to climate change and related environmental issues could have a material adverse effect on our business.
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 financings 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.
63


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.

Technology and Cybersecurity Risks
Our dependence on technology could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on secure information technology, and a breach of our systems or those of our third-party service providers could result in our experiencing significant financial, legal, and reputational exposure and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
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.

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a complete discussion of our market risk. There have been no material changes to the market risk information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 4.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(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 the 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 or they may file individual arbitration demands for which arbitration providers may request separate filing fees. An adverse ultimate disposition in any action to which we are a party or otherwise subject, or the requirement to pay filing fees for a large number of individual arbitration demands, 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 16 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Article II

The Loan Facility
    Section 2.1.    Funding of the Revolving Loans. (a)(i) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2), the Borrower may, at its option, on the Closing Date and on any Funding Date request an advance of a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) pursuant to Section 2.3. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.2), the Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on a revolving basis from time to time as requested by the Borrower during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall the Lender make a Revolving Loan if, after giving effect to the Funding of such Revolving Loan, the Aggregate Loan Amount would exceed the lesser of (i) the Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base. As provided in Section 2.3 and subject to Section 2.10(e), each Funding of Revolving Loans shall consist of Benchmark Loans. Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event or the declaration of the Termination Date, the Borrower may not request and the Lender shall not be required to effect any Funding.
    (b)    The Borrower may, within 180 days, but no later than 90 days, prior to the then existing Commitment Termination Date, by written notice to the Deal Agent and the Lender, make written request for the Lender to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional period as specified by the Borrower. The Lender shall make a determination, in its sole discretion, not less than 30 days prior to the then applicable Commitment Termination Date as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender, or the Deal Agent on its behalf, to make a timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by the Lender to extend the Commitment Termination Date. If the Lender agrees to extend the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with the Borrower’s request made pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b), the Commitment Termination Date then in effect shall be extended to the date that is the last day of the additional time period
- 35 -


specified by Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b) or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day.
    (c)    The Note. (i) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all Revolving Loans advanced by the Lender pursuant to the Fundings shall be evidenced by a variable funding note of the Borrower in favor of the Lender (the “Note”) which shall: (1) be dated the Closing Date; (2) be in the stated principal amount equal to the Commitment; (3) bear interest as provided therein; (4) be payable to the order of the Lender; and (5) be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the schedule attached to the Note of the date and the amount of the Fundings and the date and amount of the payment of principal thereon, and prior to any transfer of the Note, the Lender shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of the Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however, that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect the Lender’s rights with respect to the Note.
    (ii)    Although the Note shall be dated the Closing Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during which amounts are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although the stated principal amount of the Note shall be equal to the Commitment, the Note shall be enforceable with respect to the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid Aggregate Loan Amount at the time such enforcement shall be sought.
    Section 2.2.    Grant of Security Interest; Acceptance by Collateral Agent. (a)(i) As security for the prompt and complete payment of the Note and the performance of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, without recourse except as expressly provided herein, a security interest in and continuing Lien on all right, title, and interest of the Borrower in the following property of the Borrower (whether now owned or hereafter created, acquired or arising, and wherever located):
Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments (including Promissory Notes), Documents, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles and Software, patents, trademarks, tradestyles, copyrights, and all other intellectual property rights, including all applications, registration, and licenses therefor, and all goodwill of the business connected therewith or represented thereby), Letter-of-Credit Rights, Supporting Obligations, Deposit Accounts, Investment Property (including certificated and uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Security Entitlements, Commodity Accounts, and Commodity Contracts), Inventory, Equipment (including all software, whether or not the same constitutes embedded software, used in the operation thereof),    Commercial Tort Claims, Rights to merchandise and other Goods (including rights to returned or repossessed Goods and rights of stoppage in transit) which are represented by, arise from, or relate to any of the foregoing, Monies, personal property, and interests in personal property of the Debtor of any kind or description now held by the Secured Party or at any time hereafter transferred or delivered to, or coming into the possession, custody, or control of, the Secured Party, or any agent or affiliate of the Secured Party, whether expressly as collateral security or for any other purpose (whether for safekeeping, custody, collection or otherwise), and all dividends and distributions on or
- 36 -


other rights in connection with any such property, Supporting evidence and documents relating to any of the above-described property, including, without limitation, computer programs, disks, tapes and related electronic data processing media, and all rights of the Debtor to retrieve the same from third parties, written applications, credit information, account cards, payment records, correspondence, delivery and installation certificates, invoice copies, delivery receipts, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness, insurance certificates and the like, together with all books of account, ledgers, and cabinets in which the same are reflected or maintained, Accessions and additions to, and substitutions and replacements of, any and all of the foregoing, and Proceeds and products of the foregoing, and all insurance of the foregoing and proceeds thereof (each of the foregoing terms as used in this paragraph which are defined in the UCC shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in the UCC in New York, unless this Agreement shall otherwise specifically provide); including, without limitation, all of its right, title and interest to: (x) the Loans, and all monies due or to become due in payment thereupon on and after the related Cut-Off Date; (y) all Related Security; and (z) all income and Proceeds of the foregoing (all of the foregoing property of the Borrower described in this Section 2.2(a)(i) collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”). The foregoing pledge does not constitute an assumption by the Collateral Agent of any obligations of the Borrower to Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, any obligation to make future advances to or on behalf of such Obligors.
    (ii)    In connection with such grant, the Borrower agrees to record and file, or cause to be recorded or filed, 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 on or prior to each Funding Date. Any such financing statement may describe as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral as described in this Agreement. In addition, the Borrower and the Servicer agree to clearly and unambiguously mark their respective general ledgers and all accounting records and documents and all computer tapes and records to show that the Collateral, including that portion of the Collateral consisting of the Dealer Agreements listed on Schedule V hereto (and each addendum thereto), the Loans and the related Contracts and the rights to payment under the related Dealer Agreements, has been pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder.
    (iii)    In connection with such pledge, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent on the Closing Date or 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 or microfiche lists containing true and complete lists of all applicable Dealer Agreements, Pools and Loans securing the payment of the Note and amounts due under the Transaction Documents and all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the Transaction
- 37 -


Documents as of the Closing Date or Funding 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 such date. Such file shall be marked as Schedule V hereto or as an addendum thereto, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent as confidential and proprietary, and such Schedule V and each addendum thereto are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Such Schedule V 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 V that describes all Loans 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 satisfied pursuant to Section 6.15(b) hereto). Such updated Schedule V shall be deemed to replace any existing Schedule V as of the date such updated Schedule V is provided in accordance with this Section 2.2(a)(iii). Furthermore, Schedule V hereto shall be deemed to be supplemented on each date of Dealer Collections Purchase by the list set forth under Section 6.15(c). For the avoidance of doubt, any incorrect or unintended deletions or omissions from the previous version of Schedule V shall not be effective to release the rights of the Collateral Agent in such Collateral except upon compliance with the procedures and requirements of Section 2.13, Section 4.5 or Section 8.2 hereof or Section 6.1 of the Contribution Agreement.
    (iv)    In connection with such pledge, each of the Borrower, Credit Acceptance and the Servicer also agrees, within 180 days of the Closing Date or relevant Funding Date, as the case may be, to clearly mark at least 98% of the Contracts or Contract folders evidenced in a tangible medium and securing a Loan with the following legend: “This Agreement has been pledged to Flagstar Bank, fsb 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 further acknowledges that, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower delivered to the Collateral Agent the computer file or microfiche list represented by the Borrower to be the computer file or microfiche list described in Section 2.2(a)(iii).
    (c)    The Collateral Agent hereby agrees not to disclose to any Person (including any Secured Party) any of the account numbers or other information contained in the computer files or microfiche lists delivered to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii), except as is required in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other provision of the Transaction Documents or in enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties or to a Successor Servicer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may reply to a request from any Person for a list of Loans, Dealer Agreements, Contracts or other information referred to in any financing statement. The Collateral Agent agrees to take such measures as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrower to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information. The Collateral Agent shall provide the Borrower with written notice five (5) Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this Section 2.2(c).

The Borrower shall pay Breakage Costs to the Lender in an amount necessary to compensate the Lender for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by the Lender as a result of a prepayment by the Borrower of any Revolving Loans or Interest on a date other than a Payment Date. Such Breakage Costs shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.
The Deal Agent shall advise the Servicer on the second (2nd) Business Day after each Collection Period the amount of Interest, if any, due and payable on the related Payment Date.

    (b)    One (1) Business Day per calendar month, the date of which is to be chosen by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall, upon two (2) Business Days' prior written request of the Borrower, withdraw from the Collection Account an amount not to exceed the amount on deposit therein on the date of such request. The Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lender, to be distributed by the Deal Agent to the Lender, as a payment in reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.6(b) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to effect any such withdrawal or

The Collateral Agent shall pay such amount to the Deal Agent for payment to the Lender.
    (ii)    If on any Payment Date during the Amortization Period, the amount paid pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(v) is insufficient to reduce the Aggregate Loan Amount to zero, the Deal Agent, in its sole discretion, may direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw any or all of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, and pay such amount to the Deal Agent, for payment to the Lender.
    Section 2.7.    Collections and Allocations.

    Section 2.10.    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If any Change in Law shall (A) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to the Revolving Loans made by it hereunder, or any right to make the Funding hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting the Revolving Loans made by it hereunder or the Lender’s rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.
    (b)    If any Change in Law shall occur regarding capital or liquidity requirements which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party or would otherwise result in the imposition of an internal capital or liquidity charge on such Affected Person as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such reduction or charge (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction suffered or charge imposed.

- 44 -


    (c)    In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this section shall submit to the Servicer a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
    (d)    If any Lender determines that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Deal Agent), (A) any obligation of such Lender to make Benchmark Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue Benchmark Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Benchmark Loans, shall be suspended, (B) the interest rate on any such Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Deal Agent without reference to clause (b) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Deal Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (C) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Deal Agent), prepay or convert such Benchmark Loans to, at the Borrower’s option, Base Rate Loans (subject to clause (B) of this Section 2.10(d)) or to Loans that bear interest at the Benchmark Replacement (which Benchmark Replacement shall be determined and implemented by the Deal Agent in accordance with the provisions for unavailability set forth in Section 2.14, as applicable), in each case, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Benchmark Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
    (e)    Subject to Section 2.14, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Benchmark Loans:
            (i)    The Deal Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” (or any component thereof) cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
            (ii)    the Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Benchmark Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Benchmark Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding or maintaining such Advance, and the Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Deal Agent, then, in each case, the Deal Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower.
Upon notice thereof by the Deal Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make Benchmark Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue Benchmark Loans, or to
- 45 -


convert Base Rate Loans to Benchmark Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Benchmark Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Deal Agent (with respect to clause (ii) of this Section 2.10(e), at the instruction of the Lenders) revokes such notice, (ii) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Benchmark Loans (to the extent of the affected Benchmark Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (iii) any outstanding affected Benchmark Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. Subject to Section 2.14, if the Deal Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” (or any component thereof) cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Deal Agent until the Deal Agent revokes such determination.
    Section 2.11.    Taxes.
(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.11, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or the Servicer under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary (such increase, the “Additional Amount”) so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Deal Agent or the relevant Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Deal Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
- 46 -


(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender.
(f) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Deal Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Deal Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.1 (relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Deal Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Deal Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Deal Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Deal Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Deal Agent under this paragraph (f).
(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Deal Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
- 47 -


(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Deal Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower and the Deal Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
- 48 -


(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Deal Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Deal Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Deal Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Deal Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
    Section 2.12.        Assignment of the Contribution Agreement and the Hedging Agreement. The Borrower hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, the Hedging Agreement.

    (ii)    Unless the Take-Out is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Take-Out shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent an Officer’s Certificate, together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Deal Agent (which evidence may consist solely of the Officer’s Certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer) that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Take-Out Date to effect the contemplated Take-Out in accordance with this Agreement. In effecting the Take-Out, the Borrower may use the proceeds of sales of the Loans (which sales must be made in arm’s-length transactions).

No such reduction shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that any derivative transaction related thereto be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any such reduction in the Aggregate Loan Amount and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination.
- 50 -


    (v)    Upon receipt of the amount set forth in Section 2.13(a)(iv), the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro-rata reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount, second to the payment of accrued Interest on the amount of Aggregate Loan Amount to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the Lender, and third to pay any Hedge Costs related to such reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount due to the relevant Hedge Counterparty, and fourth to pay all other Aggregate Unpaids related to such reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount due to the relevant party.

    (c)    In connection with any Take-Out, on the related Take-Out Date, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lender, the Deal Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower: (i) execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Loans to be released to the Borrower, in favor of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request; (ii) deliver any portion of the Loans to be released to the Borrower in its possession to the Borrower; and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Borrower to take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent on the Loans to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the Borrower such Loans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, and if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

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).

    (a)    Payment in respect of an Ineligible Loan and Ineligible Contract. If a Loan or a Contract is an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract, no later than the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan or Contract being an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract and (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof the Borrower shall, by no later than the first Payment Date occurring after the Collection Period during which such discovery or notice thereof occurred, make a payment to the Collection Account in respect of each such Loan or Contract in an amount equal to the related Release Price. On and after the date of such payment, 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 2.6)
- 64 -


in immediately available funds an amount (the “Release Price”) equal to the sum of (i): 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 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 Aggregate Loan Amount as of the date of such payment and the denominator of which is the Outstanding Balance of all Contracts as of the last day of the related Collection Period; (ii) accrued and unpaid Carrying Costs, Increased Costs, Indemnified Amounts and Additional Amounts related to such Loan or Contract through the date of such deposit; and (iii) all Hedge Costs due to the relevant Hedge Counterparties for any termination in whole or in part of one or more transactions related to the relevant Hedging Agreement, as required by the terms of any Hedging Agreement. 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, 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 2.6. On the Release Date, provided that the full Retransfer Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account, the Loans and Related Security related thereto shall be transferred to the Borrower; and the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute and deliver such instruments of transfer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be prepared and reasonably requested by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower to vest in the Borrower, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties in, to and under the Loans.
- 65 -


    (c)    Remedy for Breach. The parties hereto agree that the sole remedy for the breach by the Borrower of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2 hereof with respect to the eligibility of a Loan or Contract shall be set forth in this Section 4.5 and Section 6.2(c)(ii).
    (d)    Application. Amounts paid in accordance with Section 4.5(a) and (b) shall be distributed on the next succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.6.

The Servicer shall not (x) change its name or its state of organization, move the location of its principal place of business and chief executive office, and the offices where it keeps records concerning the Loans from the location referred to in Section 13.2 or (y) move, or consent to the Custodian moving, the Records from the location thereof on the Closing Date, unless the Servicer has given at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Deal Agent and has taken all actions required under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties in the Collateral; provided, that, Credit Acceptance may move or transfer individual Contract Files or Records, or any portion thereof without notice in accordance with Section 6.2(c)(iii).
    (c)    Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors.

Article VI

Administration and Servicing of Contracts
    Section 6.1.    Servicing. (a) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint Credit Acceptance as servicer hereunder and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to manage, collect and administer each of the Loans and Contracts as Servicer. In the event of a Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent shall have the right to terminate Credit Acceptance as servicer hereunder. Upon termination of Credit Acceptance as servicer of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, the Deal Agent shall have the right to appoint a Successor Servicer and enter into a servicing agreement with such Successor Servicer at such time and exercise all of its rights under Section 6.3 hereof. Such servicing agreement shall specify the duties and obligations of such Successor Servicer, and all references herein to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor Servicer.
    (b)    The Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deposit all Collections to the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt. The Servicer agrees to deposit all Collections to the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt.
- 80 -


    (c)    On or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Borrower) to furnish a report to the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that they have (i) compared the information contained in the Monthly Reports delivered during such fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Collateral Agent, with the information contained in the Loans, the Contracts and the Servicer’s records and computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such agreed upon procedures, such firm is of the opinion that the information contained in the Monthly Reports reconciles with the information contained in the Loans and the Contracts and the Servicer’s records and computer system and that the servicing of the Loans and the Contracts has been conducted in compliance with this Agreement and (ii) verified the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance as of the end of each Collection Period during such fiscal year, except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
    Section 6.2.    Duties of the Servicer and Custodian. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under the Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in material accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in material accordance with the Collection Guidelines and Credit Guidelines, it being understood that there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Loans and Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same degree of care and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and loans which it services for itself or others. Each of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Collateral. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan or a Contract (for purposes of collection or otherwise), or if in any enforcement or other legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan or a Contract, on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Loan or Contract or on similar grounds, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of enforcement, such Loan or Contract. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (and the Lender, if applicable) shall furnish the Servicer with an affidavit prepared by the Servicer that the Servicer may use in any such legal proceedings confirming the Servicer’s power and authority to sue and otherwise enforce the Loans and Contracts in its own name, consistent with this Section 6.2, and any powers of attorney or other documents prepared by the Servicer reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Records and any amounts it receives in respect of the Collateral. In the event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the Successor Servicer and the Successor Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Collateral.
- 81 -


    (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)    (i) The Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby revocably appoint Credit Acceptance as custodian, and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment, to hold and maintain physical possession of the Contract Files and all Records (or with respect to any Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, to maintain "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof) (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the “Custodian”). The Contract Files and Records are to be delivered to the Custodian or its designated bailee by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent within two (2) Business Days preceding the Funding Date or within 2 Business Days after each Addition Date, as the case may be, with respect to each Loan acquired on the Funding Date or Addition Date.
    (ii)    The Custodian shall within 180 days after the Closing Date or Funding Date, as applicable, review 100% of the Contract Files to verify the presence of the original retail installment contract and security agreement and/or installment loans with respect to each Contract, provided, however, that the Certificate of Title or other evidence of lien with respect to a Contract need not be verified. If the number of Contracts for which any of the foregoing documents have not been delivered to the Custodian within 180 days of the Closing Date or relevant Funding Date, as the case may be, or corrected (each such Contract, a “Nonconforming Contract”), exceeds 2% of the aggregate Contract Files required to be reviewed pursuant to this Section 6.2(c)(ii), the Borrower shall make a deposit to the Reserve Account only with respect to the excess number of Nonconforming Contracts, in an amount equal to the related Nonconforming Contract Payment Amount. Once per month, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account in respect of Nonconforming Contracts shall be adjusted to account for increases or decreases in the excess number of Nonconforming Contracts and for changes in the Outstanding Balance of such Nonconforming Contracts. The Borrower shall, in the case of an increase, promptly deposit to the Reserve Account the amount of any such increase. In the case of a decrease, the amount of any such decrease shall be deemed to be part of the Excess Reserve Amount. During the Revolving Period, payments required under this Section 6.2(c)(ii) shall not be required if the Aggregate Loan Amount is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base by the amount of the payment that would otherwise be required to be made by this clause.
    (iii)    The Custodian agrees to maintain the Contract Files and Records which are delivered to it at the offices of the Custodian as shall from time to time be identified to the Deal Agent by written notice. Subject to the foregoing, Credit Acceptance may temporarily (or permanently, in the case of a Contract that is repurchased, liquidated or paid in full) move or transfer to an agent of the Servicer individual Contract Files or Records, or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to allow the Servicer to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.
- 82 -


    (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" (for UCC purposes) of the Authoritative Electronic Copy thereof) will be maintained.
In performing its duties as custodian, the Custodian agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar Contracts or Loans owned or held by it for its own account or for any other Person.
    (v)    Credit Acceptance shall have the obligation (i) to physically segregate the Contract Files (to the extent held in physical form) from the other custodial files it is holding for its own account or on behalf of any other Person, (ii) to physically mark the Contract folders (to the extent held in physical form) to demonstrate the transfer of Contract Files and the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder, (iii) mark its computer records indicating the transfer of any Contract Files relating to Contracts constituting electronic chattel paper and the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder, and (iv) with respect to each Contract constituting electronic chattel paper, cause the single “authoritative copy” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) to be communicated to and maintained at all times by Credit Acceptance such that the “authoritative copy” constitutes an Authoritative Electronic Copy at all times.
    (d)    (i) If (A) an Unsatisfactory Audit occurs or (B) a Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event occurs, the Deal Agent shall have the right to terminate Credit Acceptance as the Custodian hereunder and the Deal Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Custodian hereunder who shall assume all the rights and obligations of the “Custodian” hereunder. On the effective date of the termination of Credit Acceptance as Servicer, Credit Acceptance shall be released of all of its obligations as Custodian arising on or after such date. The Contract Files and Records shall be delivered by Credit Acceptance to the successor Custodian, on or before the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to such date.
    (ii)    Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer and the Borrower shall, at the request of the Deal Agent, in its sole discretion, take all steps necessary to cause the Certificate of Title or other evidence of ownership of each Financed Vehicle to be revised to name the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as lienholder. Any costs associated with such revision of the Certificate of Title (“Reliening Expenses”) shall be paid by the Servicer and, to the extent such costs are not paid by the Servicer, such unpaid costs shall be recovered as described in Section 2.6 hereof. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to expend funds in connection with this Section 6.2(d).
    (iii)    The Custodian shall provide to the Deal Agent access to the Contract Files and Records and all other documentation regarding the Contracts, Dealer Agreements and the Loans
- 83 -


and the related Financed Vehicles in such cases where the Collateral Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge.
    (e)    Two times per calendar year, at the expense of the Servicer, the Deal Agent may review the Servicer’s collection and administration of the Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with the Servicer’s written policies and procedures, as well as with this Agreement and, at the expense of the Deal Agent of the Lender, may conduct an audit of the Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts and Contract Files in conjunction with such a review. On and after the occurrence of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Deal Agent may conduct such reviews and audits without limitation, at the Servicer’s expense.
    Section 6.3.    Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer. At any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 6.12(a):
    (i)    The Collateral Agent may intercept payments made by or on behalf of Obligors and direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Loan or Contract be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall pay to any Dealer, to the extent to which such Dealer is entitled, all related Dealer Collections.
    (ii)    The Borrower shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, give notice of the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Loans and Contracts to each Obligor and direct that payments be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
    (iii)    The Borrower and Credit Acceptance shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral, including all Records with respect to the Loans and Contracts, and shall make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but in any event within two (2) Business Days, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Collateral Agent or its designee.
    (iv)    The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take any and all steps in the Borrower’s name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all of the Collateral with respect thereto, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Loans and Contracts.
    Section 6.4.    Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Loans and
- 84 -


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 nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Loan, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.
    Section 6.5.    Reports.
    (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 B attached hereto (the “Monthly Report”) for the related Collection Period. The Deal Agent shall provide to the Borrower and the Servicer by the second (2nd) Business Day after each Collection Period, information relating to the amount of each obligation which comprises Carrying Costs, Increased Costs, Indemnified Amounts and Additional Amounts for such Collection Period. The Monthly Report shall specify whether an Amortization Event, Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred with respect to the Collection Period preceding such Determination Date. Upon receipt of the Monthly Report, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent shall rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) on the information contained therein for the purposes of making distributions and allocations as provided for herein. Each Monthly Report shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer.
    (b)    Credit Agreement. The Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent all reports or certificates required to be delivered under Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement at the times set forth therein.
    (c)    Financial Statements. The Servicer will submit to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent, within 60 days of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, commencing September 30, 2015 unaudited financial statements as of the end of each such fiscal quarter. The Servicer will submit to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent, within 120 days of the end of each of its fiscal years, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 audited financial statements as of the end of each such fiscal year. The Servicer will submit to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent an analysis of the static pool performance of Credit Acceptance for each fiscal quarter.

nature and status thereof and the steps necessary to remedy such event, and, if a Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event occurred during such year and no notice thereof has been given to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent, specifying such Servicer Termination Event or potential Servicer Termination Event and the steps taken to remedy such event).
    (e)    Loss Rate Report. On each Quarterly Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Deal Agent which sets forth the Loss Rate as of the most recent month-end in respect of the Servicer’s entire dealer loans portfolio which shall be aggregated by Dealer.
    (f)    Forecasted Collections. On each Quarterly Determination Date, the Servicer will submit to the Deal Agent a report setting forth the Forecasted Collections as of the most recent month-end in respect of all Loans which are part of the Collateral.

Credit Acceptance, in its capacity as Servicer, represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Deal Agent as of the Closing Date and the Funding Date, that the only material servicing computer systems and related software utilized by the Servicer to service the Loans and Contracts are: (i) provided by Ontario Systems Corporation under an existing licensing agreement and related resource agreement, each of which may be amended from time to time, and (ii) the “loan servicing system” software developed by Credit Acceptance, which is owned by Credit Acceptance. 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 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 would be able to continue to service the Loans and Contracts should that be required in accordance with the terms hereof.
    Section 6.7.    Establishment of the Accounts.
    (a)    Establishment of the Collection Account and Reserve Account. The Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, 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 Flagstar Bank, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties” (the “Collection Account”) and (ii) a segregated corporate trust account entitled “Reserve Account for Flagstar Bank, as collateral 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 none of the Originator, the Servicer or 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 or trust company 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

    (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)    Eligible 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 shall specify the particular investment to be made and shall certify that such investment is a Permitted Investment and is permitted to be made under this Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the Business Day prior to the next Payment Date, except that in the case of funds representing Collections with respect to a succeeding Collection Period, such Permitted Investments may mature so that such funds will be available no later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date for such Collection Period. No 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.

    Section 6.10.    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 and the Collateral Agent. 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.
    Section 6.11.    Servicer Termination Events. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Termination Event”) shall occur and be continuing:

    (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

    (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 clauses (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);
    (e)    an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer;
    (f)    Reserved;

    (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;
    (l)    a Termination Event shall have occurred and such Termination Event has not been waived by the Deal Agent; or
    (m)    the occurrence of the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of the fiscal quarter in which a breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 of the Credit Agreement shall occur unless prior to such date, such breach is cured or waived by the Deal Agent in the Deal Agent’s sole discretion;
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 Lender shall, by written notice to the Servicer (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.
    Section 6.12.    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 9.2, 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 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 Lender appoint a Successor Servicer by written notice as the Servicer hereunder, and such Successor Servicer shall on such date (which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice) assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Deal Agent, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer. 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 United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Loans as the Successor Servicer hereunder.
    (b)    Upon its assumption as Successor Servicer (subject to Section 6.12(a)), any Successor Servicer, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under 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 such Successor Servicer.

- 90 -


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.
    Section 6.13.    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 2.6 hereof, any taxes. Neither the Deal 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 6.14.    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.

    (a)    During its ordinary course of business in managing its serviced portfolio of Dealer Loans (and not based on the 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 satisfied and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Dealer Loan Contracts securing such Dealer Loans shall be assigned by Credit Acceptance to Borrower as Purchased Loan Contracts and the loans thereunder shall be deemed Purchased Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, all Collections on such Purchased Loan Contracts shall be included in Available Funds.
    (c)    On the date of each Dealer Collections Purchase, Credit Acceptance shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a list identifying (A) all Dealer Loans satisfied as a result of such Dealer Collections Purchase, (B) each Dealer Loan Contract previously securing such Dealer Loans and (C) the Purchased Loans and Purchased Loan Contracts
- 91 -


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 V hereto as of the date of such Dealer Collections Purchase.

    Section 8.6.    Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent and the Servicer and any Successor Servicer as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document or Hedging Agreement.

If the Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Secured Parties, during such five (5) day period shall appoint a successor agent.

Assignments; Participations
    Section 12.1.    Assignments and Participations. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender, and (ii) the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder to anyone other than an Eligible Assignee; provided, that the Lender shall provide prior notice of such assignment to the Borrower. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, or any participants to the extent provided in Section 12.1(b) hereof) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
    (b)    The Lender shall have the right to grant participations in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans owing to it) to one or more other banking institutions (each such person a “Participant”), and such Participants shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.10 and 2.11 hereof, to the same extent as if they were a direct party hereto; provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the other parties hereto, shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and provided further that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive payment hereunder of any amount greater than the amount which would have been payable had the Lender not granted a participation to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld if any such Participant would be entitled to any such greater amount or conditioned on such Participant not receiving any such greater amount). Upon the grant of a participation of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the Participant and the proportionate amount granted under such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
- 103 -


such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(c)    The Deal Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in 151 Corporate Drive Troy, MI 48098 a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Deal Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
    (d)    Nothing herein shall prohibit the Lender from pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Applicable Law and any such pledge or collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 12.1(a) or Section 12.1(b).
Article XIII

No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or modification shall affect the rights or obligations of any Hedge Counterparty without the written agreement of such Person. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

If any Secured Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Secured Party (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.1) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Secured Party, such Secured Party agrees, promptly upon
- 104 -


demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of the Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Secured Parties so that after such purchase each Secured Party will hold its ratable proportion of the Aggregate Unpaids; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Secured Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
    Section 13.4.    No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
    Section 13.5.    Binding Effect; Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, in addition, the provisions of Sections 2.6(a)(i) and 2.6(a)(viii) shall inure to the benefit of each Hedge Counterparty, whether or not that Hedge Counterparty is a Secured Party.

This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V, and the Servicer’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or Servicer pursuant to Articles IV and V and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Article XI and the provisions of Section 13.10 and Section 13.11 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
    Section 13.7.    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Objection to Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each of the Parties hereto and each Hedge Counterparty hereby agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court located within the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto and each secured party hereby waives any objection based on forum non conveniens, and any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder in any of the aforementioned courts and consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.
    Section 13.8.    Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto and each hedge counterparty hereby waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise between the parties hereto arising out of, connected with, related to, or incidental to the relationship between any of them in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Instead, any such dispute resolved in court will be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.
- 105 -

    (b)    The Borrower shall pay on demand any and all stamp, sales, excise and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the other documents to be delivered hereunder.
    Section 13.10.    No Petition. Each of the parties hereto and each Hedge Counterparty (by accepting the benefits of this Agreement) hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Borrower any Insolvency Proceeding so long as there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the Collection Date.
    Section 13.11.    Recourse Against Certain Parties. No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees or any other obligations) of any Secured Party as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any administrator of such Secured Party or any incorporator, affiliate, stockholder, officer, employee or director of such Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of such Secured Party contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate obligations of such Secured Party, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any administrator of such Secured Party or any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of such Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, or any other of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Secured Party contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or that are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such

administrator of such Secured Party and each incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of such Secured Party or of any such administrator, or any of them, for breaches by such Secured Party of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 13.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
    Section 13.12.    Protection of Right, Title and Interest in Assets; Further Action Evidencing the Funding. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties and of the Secured Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral.

The Borrower shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 13.12(a).

    (c)    If the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Collateral Agent’s or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower (if the Servicer that fails to so perform is the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof) as provided in Article X, as applicable. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower (i) to execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.

Such opinion of counsel shall (i) describe the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to preserve and protect the interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, until the 90th day in the following Opinion Delivery Year and (ii) specify any action necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken in the following calendar years prior to the next succeeding Opinion Delivery Year to preserve perfection of such interest.

It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 13.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Termination Events, Servicer Termination Events, and priority of payment provisions.
- 108 -

    (d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that such disclosure may not be made to the extent required to be kept confidential to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws; and provided, further, that (to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing) such disclosure shall be made without disclosing the names or other identifying information of any party.
    Section 13.14.    Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the
- 109 -


parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the Originator to the Deal Agent or the Lender.

SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE
CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) to the Credit Acceptance Corporation Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), previously amended effective as of June 5, 2024, was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on September 19, 2024, effective as of the date set forth below. Any capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.08 of the Plan, the Board may amend or modify the Plan at any time and from time to time, subject to shareholder approval if required for any such amendment, but no amendment shall be made that would adversely affect any award previously granted under the Plan in any material way without the Participant’s consent;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to allow for the grant of Restricted Stock Awards and/or Restricted Stock Unit Awards in fractional shares of Common Stock, the vesting of such Awards with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock and for the settlement of such Awards in fractional shares of Common Stock, all subject to the overall limitations set forth in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan to provide for the foregoing, effective as of the date hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows, effective as of the date hereof:

1.Section 3.01 of the Plan (“Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units”) is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

“The Committee shall have the authority to grant Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units to such Participants and for such number of shares of Common Stock (including with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock) as it shall designate. Such Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Agreement that shall specify the terms thereof, including the Restricted Period, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit, and such other provisions, which may include, among other things, vesting and performance goals, as the Committee shall determine.”

2.Section 6.01 of the Plan (“Adjustments”) is hereby amended to replace the final sentence of Section 6.01(b) thereof with the following sentence:

“Any such adjustment may result in fractional shares becoming subject to an Award, provided, however, that the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to provide




for the elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award.”

3.Section 7.01 of the Plan (“Partial Exercise/Fractional Shares”) is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

“The Committee may permit, and shall establish procedures for, the partial exercise of Options granted under the Plan, provided that any such exercise of an Option shall be made with respect to a whole number of shares of Common Stock. Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Plan, an Award shall only be issued and settled in a whole number of shares and the Fair Market Value of any fractional shares shall be paid in cash, or at the discretion of the Committee, the number of shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and any fractional shares shall be disregarded.”

4.This Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated into and forms a part of the Plan.

5.Except as expressly provided, all of the terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other provisions contained in the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned being all of the members of the Board have executed this consent effective as of the date of last signature.
