The foregoing grant is made in trust as security for the prompt and complete payment when due by the Issuer of the Issuer Secured Obligations. Such grant shall include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations) of the Issuer, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments in respect of the Collateral and all other moneys payable thereunder, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights and options, to bring proceedings in the name of the Issuer or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do or receive thereunder or with respect thereto.

The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges such grant, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and agrees to perform its duties required in this Indenture to the best of its ability in order that the interests of the parties and the Noteholders, recognizing the priorities of their respective interests, may be adequately and effectively protected.

This Agreement shall be deemed to create a security interest and deemed to be a security agreement with respect to the Collateral within the meaning of Article 1, Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the States of New York and Delaware and under the law of all jurisdictions governing the creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral.

Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $95,146. The Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amounts.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Class A Notes and Class B Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter.

It is intended that the Class A Notes and Class B Notes be registered so as to participate in a book-entry system with the Clearing Agency as set forth herein. The Class A Notes and Class B Notes shall each be initially issued in the form of a single fully-registered note with a denomination equal to the original principal balance of such class of Notes. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Notes shall be registered in the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Clearing Agency.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Responsible Officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.3. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) The Note Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.7, a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Indenture Trustee shall provide for the registration of Notes and for transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial Note Registrar. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall be the Note Registrar so long as it is acting as Indenture Trustee hereunder. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee notifies the Seller that it is unable to act as Note Registrar, the Seller shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in Minneapolis, Minnesota or the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to act as successor Note Registrar under this Indenture. If at any time the Indenture Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Note Registrar shall make available to the Indenture Trustee ten (10) days prior to each Distribution Date and at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request the names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Note Register.

No sale, conveyance, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, participation, or any other transfer (each a “Transfer”) of a Note shall be made unless such Transfer is (A) for so long as the such Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a Person the transferor reasonably believes after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“Qualified Institutional Buyer”) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) solely with respect to initial investors in such Note, made in a transfer exempt from

the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to a Person that is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) that purchases for its own account or for the account or accounts of an Institutional Accredited Investor.

No portion of the Retained Notes or any interest therein may be transferred, directly or indirectly, to any Person (other than Credit Acceptance Funding LLC 2012-1 in the initial offering, which shall not be subject to any of the transfer restrictions set forth herein that relate specifically to each initial purchaser) except in accordance with this Section 2.3(a). No portion of the Retained Notes or any interest therein may be Transferred to any Person (each, an “Assignee”), unless the Assignee shall have executed and delivered the certifications referred to in this Section 2.3 and, except in connection with the initial Transfer of the Retained Notes to the Retained Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee has received a Tax Opinion with respect to such Transfer. Any attempted Transfer that would cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five shall be void. Upon request by a Retained Noteholder, the number of Targeted Holders shall be disclosed to such requesting Retained Noteholder.

All Opinions of Counsel required in connection with any transfer shall be by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.

Only upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of the written consent of each of the Seller and the Servicer to such Transfer shall the Retained Notes (or such portion thereof) be transferred upon the Note Register; provided, however, that such consent shall only be withheld based upon the reasonable belief of the Seller or the Servicer that such Transfer may cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five. Such Transfers of all or any portion of the Retained Notes shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.3(a) and to such other restrictions as shall be set forth in the investment letter, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, executed by the purchasing Retained Noteholder. Successive registrations and registrations of Transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Note Register. No Transfer of the Retained Notes will be effective and the Transfer Agent and Note Registrar shall not register such Transfer, unless the Assignee has delivered an investment letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Indenture Trustee. Any purported Transfer or registration of Transfer of a Retained Note in violation of the preceding sentence shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Assignee.

Each Assignee shall certify to the Seller, the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee that it is, for federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia which, if such entity is a tax-exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Retained Notes may constitute unrelated business taxable income, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) (a) a trust for which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and for which one or more persons described in this paragraph are able to control all substantial decisions or (b) a trust for which a valid election has been made to be treated as a United States person. Each Assignee also shall agree that it will furnish to the Person from whom it is acquiring any interest in the Retained Notes, the Seller, the

Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (and will agree to furnish a new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) and such other certifications, representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by the Indenture Trustee.

Each Assignee shall certify to the Seller, the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee that it has not acquired and it will not Transfer any interest in the Retained Notes, or cause an interest in the Retained Notes to be marketed, on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any Treasury regulations thereunder, including an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations. In addition, any Assignee shall certify to the Seller, the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee, prior to any delivery or Transfer to it of any Retained Notes, (i) that it is not and will not become (and that, if it is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a) (a “DRE”), its owner is not and will not become), for so long as it holds an interest in the Retained Notes, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Flow-Thru Entity”), or (ii) that if it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) is, or becomes, a Flow-Thru Entity, for so long as it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) is a Flow-Thru Entity and it holds an interest in the Retained Notes, not more than 50% of the value of any interests in it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) will be attributable to interests in the Trust held by it. Each initial purchaser of an interest in the Retained Notes acknowledges that the Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Trust will not be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of its certifications described in this Section 2.3(a).

Each Assignee shall certify to the Seller, the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee (i) that it has purchased its interest in the Retained Notes for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof and (ii) that it will not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its interest in all or any portion of the Retained Notes, except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and only (1) to the Seller, (2) pursuant to Rule 144A to a person who it reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB, whom it has informed that such offer, sale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (3) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to a person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor in a transaction meeting such exemption purchasing for its own account or one or more accounts of an Institutional Accredited Investor in reliance upon such exemption. No Retained Noteholders will have the right to require the Seller to register the Retained Notes or any other securities under the Securities Act or any other securities laws.

The purchaser or transferee of each Note or any interest therein shall be deemed to, or in the case of a purchaser or transferee of each Note that is an Institutional Accredited Investor shall, represent and warrant that, with respect to the source of funds to be used by such transferee to acquire such Note or any interest therein (the “Source”) either (a) such Source is not, and is not directly or indirectly acting for, on behalf of or with any assets of, an employee benefit plan or other arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” to which Section 4975 of the Code applies, or a plan or other arrangement that is subject to any provision of any federal, state, local or other laws or regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions

of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”), or (b) the acquisition and holding of such Notes or interest therein by such Source will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law.

Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law. Any transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be void ab initio.

(b) The Class A Notes and the Class B Notes shall be held in book-entry form and registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Clearing Agency (and may be aggregated as to denominations with other Notes of such class held by the Clearing Agency). With respect to Notes held in book-entry form:

(i) the Note Registrar, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on such class or classes of Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of such class or classes of Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(ii) the rights of such Note Owners will be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Depository Agreement;

(iii) whenever this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of such class or classes of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Class A Note Balance, the Class B Note Balance, or the Class C Note Balance, as applicable, the Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the relevant class of Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee; and

(iv) without the consent of the Seller and the Indenture Trustee, no such class of Notes may be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to a successor Clearing Agency that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Note Owners or except upon the election of the Note Owner thereof or a subsequent transferee to hold such Note in physical form.

Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of beneficial ownership in any Note an interest in which is transferable through the facilities of the Clearing Agency.

If (i)(A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Class A Notes or the Class B Notes as described in the Depository Agreement and (B) the Issuer is unable to

locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) Note Owners representing beneficial interests in Class A Notes aggregating not less than a majority of the Class A Note Balance, in respect of the Class A Notes, or Note Owners representing beneficial interests in the Class B Notes aggregating not less than a majority of the Class B Note Balance, in respect of the Class B Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to such class is no longer in the best interests of the related Note Owners, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify all such Note Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive Class A Notes or definitive Class B Notes, as applicable, to such Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the related Notes by the Clearing Agency accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency, the Indenture Trustee shall issue definitive Notes of the related class and deliver such definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of definitive Class A Notes or definitive Class B Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the definitive Class A Notes or definitive Class B Notes, as applicable, as Noteholders hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable if the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.

(c) In order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers provided by Rule 144A, the Issuer shall provide to any Holder of a Class A Note or Class B Note and any prospective purchaser designated by such Holder, upon request of such Holder or such prospective purchaser, such information required by Rule 144A as will enable the resale of such Note to be made pursuant to Rule 144A. The Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall cooperate with the Issuer in providing the Issuer such information regarding the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, the Collateral and other matters regarding the Trust as the Issuer shall reasonably request to meet its obligations under the preceding sentence.

(d) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Section 2.3(a), authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized denominations of a like class and aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Indenture Trustee. At the option of a Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

Any Holder of a definitive Note issued in physical form may transfer such Note or exchange a certificate representing such Note in whole or in part (in a number equal to any authorized denomination) by surrendering the definitive Note issued in physical form at the corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee, together with an executed instrument of assignment and a transferee representation letter substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. In exchange for any definitive Notes issued in physical form properly presented for transfer with all necessary accompanying documentation, the Indenture Trustee, will within five (5) Business Days of such request, deliver at the corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee, to the transferee or send by first-class mail at the risk of the transferee to such address as the transferee may request, definitive Notes issued in physical form for a like amount of such definitive Notes issued in physical form as may be requested. The presentation for transfer of any definitive Notes issued in physical form will not be valid unless made at the corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Holder of a definitive Note issued in physical form will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of effecting any transfer or registration of transfer, except that the relevant Holder will be required to bear (i) the expenses of delivery by other than regular mail (if any) and (ii) if the Issuer so requires, the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any duty, stamp tax or governmental charge or insurance charges that may be imposed in relation to such transfer.

(f) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(g) Subject to Article IX hereof, the Notes and this Indenture may be amended or supplemented from time to time, prior to the Termination Date, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to modify restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfers of the Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulations (or the interpretation thereof) or practices relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities generally.

SECTION 2.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Notes.

If (a) any mutilated Note shall be surrendered to the Note Registrar, or if the Note Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Note and (b) there shall be delivered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity (an unsecured indemnity agreement of a Noteholder with a net worth at least equal to $200,000,000 containing terms reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee being sufficient for such security or indemnity requirement), as may be required by them to save each of them and the Issuer harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Note shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Indenture Trustee may charge such Holder for its expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) in replacing a Note. Any duplicate

Note issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership of such Note, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Note shall be found at any time.

SECTION 2.5. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.2 hereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent nor the Note Registrar nor any such agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.6. Access to List of Noteholders’ Names and Addresses.

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Noteholders, or one or more Holders of Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Aggregate Note Balance, apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and such application shall be accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, make available to such Noteholders access during normal business hours to the current list of Noteholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to hold neither the Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 2.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Indenture Trustee shall maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where notices and demands to or upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Indenture Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as specified in this Indenture as its office for such purposes. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and to Noteholders of any change in the location of the Note Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 2.8. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

(a) The Class A Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the form of the Class A Note set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto and the Class B Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the form of the Class B Note set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto, such respective interest shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date as specified therein. The Class C Notes shall not accrue interest. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date or on the

Stated Final Maturity shall be paid as set forth in Section 5.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the forms of the Class A Note, the Class B Note and the Class C Note, as set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3 hereto, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, and all accrued interest thereon (if any), shall become due and payable, if not previously paid, upon the acceleration thereof after the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default in the manner provided in Section 5.2. All principal payments on each class of Notes shall be made as provided in Section 5.2 and in Section 5.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

(c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on any class of Notes entitled thereto, such defaulted interest shall itself bear interest (to the extent lawful) at the Class A Note Rate or Class B Note Rate, as applicable. Such defaulted interest (and such interest thereon) shall be paid on subsequent Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or as otherwise set forth below.

SECTION 2.9. Release of Collateral.

The Indenture Trustee shall, on or after the Termination Date and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof, release and shall cause the Trust Collateral Agent to release any remaining portion of the Trust Property from the lien created by this Indenture and shall cause the Trust Collateral Agent to deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust Account. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien created by this Indenture pursuant to this Section 2.9 only upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1. For the avoidance of doubt, an Opinion of Counsel delivered under Section 4.1(C) shall be sufficient to meet the requirements of this Section 2.9.

ARTICLE III

Covenants, Representations and Warranties

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 5.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer will

cause to be distributed to the Noteholders all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on each Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (i) for the benefit of the Class A Notes, to the Class A Noteholders, (ii) for the benefit of the Class B Notes, to the Class B Noteholders and (iii) for the benefit of the Class C Notes, to the Class C Noteholders. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

For so long as the Indenture Trustee is the transfer agent, the Issuer will maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and an office in Minneapolis, Minnesota where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

SECTION 3.3. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust.

On or before each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, subject to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account from the Collection Account, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee written notice of any default by the Issuer of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default by the Issuer, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment specified in Section 6.12 hereof; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith in each case, as instructed by the Issuer.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such a payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

SECTION 3.4. Existence.

Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Property.

SECTION 3.5. Protection of Trust Property.

The Issuer intends the security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Property, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Property. The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute, file and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i) grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust Property;

(ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders created by this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(iv) enforce any of the Trust Property;

(v) preserve and defend title to the Trust Property and the rights of the Indenture Trustee in such Trust Property against the claims of all persons and parties; and

(vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Trust Property when due.

The Issuer hereby designates and authorizes the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute or authorize, as applicable, upon Issuer request, any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed or authorized, as applicable, by the Issuer pursuant to this Section. The Issuer authorizes the filing of financing statements in all appropriate jurisdictions describing the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail.

(c) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Property, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, at the expense of the Seller by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

(d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

(e) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(f) In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

SECTION 5.4. Remedies.

(a) If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and the maturity of the Notes shall been accelerated pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2(a) hereof, the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders may do any one or more of the following:

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture

with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Property;

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

(iv) direct the Indenture Trustee to sell the Trust Property or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not, and shall not be directed by the Majority Noteholders to, sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property following an Indenture Event of Default unless:

(A) such Indenture Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(ii), (iv) or (v); or

(B) such Indenture Event of Default is of the type described in any other clause of Section 5.1 and the consent of Holders of all Outstanding Notes to such sale or liquidation of the Trust Property in writing has been obtained; or

(C) either (i) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation would be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Property will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if they had not been declared due and payable (it being understood that for purposes of making such determinations, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on an independent auditor);

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if it, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if it, in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee sells all or a portion of the Trust Property, following an Indenture Event of Default, the Trust Collateral Agent shall give Credit Acceptance at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such sale, and Credit Acceptance may, but is not required to, make a bid for the portion, or all, of the Trust Property being sold by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 5.5. Optional Preservation of the Trust Property.

If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Indenture Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee shall maintain possession of the Trust Property which is in its

possession and direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Property which is in the possession of the Trust Collateral Agent unless the Indenture Trustee is directed in writing by the Majority Noteholders to sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property and the conditions set forth in Section 5.4(a)(iv) have been satisfied. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Majority Noteholders, shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to direct the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, as applicable, to maintain possession of the Trust Property. In determining whether to direct the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, as applicable, to obtain possession of the Trust Property, the Majority Noteholders may, but need not maintain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Property for such purpose.

SECTION 5.6. [Reserved].

SECTION 5.7. Limitation of Suits.

Subject to Section 5.8 and Section 6.8, no Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Indenture Event of Default;

(ii) (A) the Indenture Event of Default arises from the Seller’s or the Servicer’s failure to remit payments under the Sale and Servicing Agreement when due or (B) the Majority Noteholders shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Indenture Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee for thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceedings; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 30-day period;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Noteholders.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as provided in Section 5.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved for the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. [Reserved].

SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant.

SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes.

The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Property or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Majority Noteholders to do so and at the Issuer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee may, with the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders, but need not unless directed in writing by the Majority Noteholders, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing

Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

(a) If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall follow such instructions and directions as it may receive pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(f) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.

(g) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance on the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (E) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Issuer’s, the Seller’s or the Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the original Certificates of Title of the Financed Vehicles under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(h) In no event shall Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, in any of its capacities hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, common law, or the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

(a) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.

The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.15.

SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Property or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than, the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.5. Notice of Indenture Events of Default.

If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Rating Agencies and each Noteholder notice of the Indenture Event of Default within five (5) Business Days after such knowledge or notice occurs.

SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.

The Indenture Trustee shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Such obligation shall be satisfied if the Indenture Trustee provides such Noteholder a Form 1099.

SECTION 6.7. Compensation.

(a) The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as agreed in writing and in accordance with Section 5.08(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such expense as may be attributable to its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include securities transaction charges relating to the investment of funds (net of investment earnings) on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent on deposit in the Trust Accounts (except for the Certificate Distribution Account) and the reasonable compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ; provided, however, that the securities transaction charges referred to above shall, in the case of certain Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer, be waived for a particular investment in the event that any amounts are received by the Trust Collateral Agent from a financial institution in connection with the purchase of such Eligible Investments. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent as set forth in Section 6.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the Seller and the Trust Property shall be limited to the right to receive distributions in accordance with Section 5.08(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Article V hereof and shall not be recourse to the assets of any Noteholder.

(b) The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall not be recourse to the assets of any Noteholder.

SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing at least sixty (60) days prior and upon the appointment and assumption of its obligations by a successor Indenture Trustee.

(b) The Issuer, with the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders, may remove the Indenture Trustee by written notice if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.17 hereof;

(ii) a court having jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,

insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs;

(iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within sixty (60) days;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

(v) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with any material covenant hereunder; or

(vi) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally incapable of acting.

(d) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or Majority Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.12 hereof.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.15, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee by the Servicer and the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Xxxxxx.

comparable circumstances, then the consent of the Majority Noteholders shall be sufficient to amend this Agreement without such party’s signature; provided further, however, that, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

(i) change the time of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provision of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Property to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes;

(iii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(viii) permit the creation of any Lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the Lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Property or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the Lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

The Issuer may determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a copy of such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 9.5. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Distribution Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to reacquire the Trust Property pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer has received funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. The Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption.

SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice.

Notice of redemption under Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 2.7); and

(iv) that interest on the Class A Notes and Class B Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 10.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

SECTION 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

(a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, or the Trust Collateral Agent, as the case may be, if such request is made by the Issuer, an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with.

(c) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (b) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the

Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (b) above and this clause (c), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000.

SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her

certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to conclusively rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc. to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, and Rating Agencies.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a) The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier, mailed certified mail, return receipt requested or by telecopy to: Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, MAC N9311-000, Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Services – Asset-Backed Administration, Telephone: (000) 000-0000, Telecopy: (000) 000-0000 and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its principal Corporate Trust Office;

(b) The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier, mailed certified mail, return receipt requested or by telecopy to: Credit Acceptance Corporation, Silver Triangle Building, 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxx, Telephone: (000) 000-0000 (ext. 4432), Telecopy: (000) 000-0000. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee;

(d) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, electronically delivered, personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier, or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to the following addresses: (i) S&P, via electronic delivery to Xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx (or for any information not available in electronic format, send hard copies to: 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000) and (ii) in the case of DBRS, Inc., via electronic delivery to xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx (or for any information not available in electronic format, send hard copies to: DBRS, ABS Surveillance, 000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000);

or, in each case, to such other address as shall be designated by written notice from the applicable notice party to the other parties.

SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default.

SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.8. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 11.9. Separability.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.10. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party

secured xxxxxxxxx, and any other person with an Ownership interest in any part of the Trust Property, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.11. Legal Holidays.

In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.12. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.13. Counterparts.

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.14. Recording of Indenture.

If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.15. Trust Obligation.

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against: (i) the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any

unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 11.16. No Petition.

Each of the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that, until one year and one day after such time as the Notes issued under the Indenture are paid in full, it shall not: (i) institute the filing of a bankruptcy petition against the Seller or the Issuer based upon any claim in its favor arising hereunder or under the Basic Documents; (ii) file a petition or consent to a petition seeking relief on behalf of the Seller or the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Law; or (iii) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Seller or the Issuer or any portion of the property of the Seller or the Issuer. The parties hereto agree that all obligations of the Issuer and the Seller are non-recourse to the Issuer and the Seller except as specifically set forth in the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.17. Inspection.

The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law or in connection with litigation, and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.18. Maximum Interest Payable.

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes specifically intend and agree to limit contractually the amount of interest payable under this Indenture, the Notes and all other instruments and agreements related hereto and thereto to the maximum amount of interest lawfully permitted to be charged under applicable law. Therefore, none of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes or any instrument pertaining to or relating to or executed in connection with this Indenture or the Notes shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay interest (or amounts deemed to be interest under applicable law) at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged under applicable law, and neither the Issuer nor any other party liable or to become liable hereunder, under the Notes or under any other instruments and agreements related hereto and thereto shall ever be liable for interest in excess of the amount determined at such maximum rate, and the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other instrument pertaining to or relating to the transactions herein or therein contemplated. If any amount of interest taken or received by the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of a Note shall be in excess of said maximum amount of interest which, under applicable

law, could lawfully have been collected by the Indenture Trustee or such Holder incident to such transactions, then such excess shall be deemed to have been the result of a mathematical error by all parties hereto and shall be automatically applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under the Notes or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Notes, such excess shall be refunded promptly by the Person receiving such amount to the party paying such amount. All amounts paid or agreed to be paid in connection with such transactions which would under applicable law be deemed “interest” shall, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Indenture. “Applicable law” as used in this paragraph means that law in effect from time to time which permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible lawful, nonusurious rate of interest on the transactions herein contemplated including laws of each State which may be held to be applicable and of the United States of America, and “maximum rate” as used in this paragraph means, with respect to each of the Notes, the maximum lawful, nonusurious rates of interest (if any) which under applicable law may be charged to the Issuer from time to time with respect to such Notes.

SECTION 11.19. No Legal Title in Holders.

No Holder of a Note shall have legal title to any part of the Trust Property. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any Note or other right, title and interest of any Holder of a Note in and to the Trust Property or hereunder shall operate to terminate this Indenture or the trusts hereunder or entitle any successor or transferee of such Holder to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Property.

SECTION 11.20. Third Party Beneficiary.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Noteholders are express third party beneficiaries of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.21. Multiple Roles.

The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association acting in the possible dual capacity of successor Servicer and in the capacities of Indenture Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association may, in such dual capacity, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association of express duties set forth in this Indenture or any other Basic Document in any of such capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto except in the case of negligence (other than errors in judgment) and willful misconduct by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association.

2.20% CLASS A ASSET BACKED NOTES

Credit Acceptance Auto Loan Trust 2012-1, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($161,500,000) payable on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Class A Note Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Class A Notes pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture and Section 5.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement until the Class A Note Balance is reduced to zero; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A Note shall be due and payable on September 16, 2019 (the “Class A Stated Final Maturity Date”). The Issuer will pay interest on this Class A Note at the rate per annum shown above (the “Class A Note Rate”), which shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date until the principal of this Class A Note is paid, on the principal amount of this Class A Note outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period. Interest on this Class A Note will accrue for each Distribution Date from the preceding Distribution Date to (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, from the Closing Date) but excluding the current Distribution Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve thirty day months.

This Class A Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.20% Class A Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of March 29, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Class A Notes. The Class A Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All terms used in this Class A Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

A-1-3

The Class A Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

On each Distribution Date, Holders of the Class A Notes will be entitled to the Class A Interest Distributable Amount and its Class A Principal Distributable Amount in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 16, 2012.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A Stated Final Maturity Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A Notes shall be due and payable if an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Class A Notes have been accelerated subject to the terms of the Indenture.

All principal payments on the Class A Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A Noteholders entitled thereto.

Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Class A Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Class A Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Class A Note and shall specify the place where such Class A Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with purchases of Class A Notes shall be mailed to Class A Noteholders as provided in the Indenture.

Distributions required to be made to Class A Noteholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Class A Noteholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Class A Noteholder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and such Holder’s Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 or (ii) such Class A Noteholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Class A Noteholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Note Register.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest on the Class A Notes at the Class A Note Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Class A Notes may be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Distribution Date on or after the date on which the sum of the Class A Note Balance and the

A-1-4

Class B Note Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the sum of the initial Class A Note Balance plus the initial Class B Note Balance.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class A Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Class A Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A Note, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange of the Class A Notes.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A Note covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, or the Trust Collateral Agent except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Class A Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Class A Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Class A Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, each Class A Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A Note, agrees to treat the Class A Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class A Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Class A Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered

The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Class A Notes under the Indenture.

The Class A Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Class A Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither U.S. Bank Trust National Association in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class A Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Class A Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Indenture Event of Default, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A Note.

The principal of and interest on this Class A Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(e)

The Purchaser is, for federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia which, if such entity is a tax-exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Class C Notes may constitute unrelated business taxable income, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) either (x) a trust for which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and for which one or more persons described in this paragraph are able to control all substantial decisions or (y) a trust for which a valid election has been made to be treated as a United States person.

The Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Trust will not be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the Purchaser’s certifications described in this paragraph.

Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date on which the Trust purchases Loans, in each case only with respect to the Collateral pledged to the Indenture Trustee on the Closing Date or the relevant Distribution Date:

General

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from and assignees of the Trust.

2. Each Contract constitutes “tangible chattel paper” or a “payment intangible”, within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. Each Loan constitutes a “payment intangible” or a “general intangible” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.

3. Each Dealer Agreement and Purchase Agreement constitutes either a “general intangible” or “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.

4. The Trust has taken or will take all necessary actions with respect to the Loans to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Loans and in the property securing the Loans.

Creation

1. The Trust owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

Perfection

1. The Trust has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

Schedule A-1

2. With respect to Collateral that constitutes tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian for the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral Agent has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, that it is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on its behalf and for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Seller, the Trust and the relevant Dealer(s). All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Trust in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection with this Indenture describing the Trust Property contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

Priority

1. Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Property. None of the Originator, the Servicer nor the Seller has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust that includes a description of the Collateral and proceeds related thereto other than any financing statement: (i) relating to the sale of the Originator Property by the Originator to the Seller under the Sale and Contribution Agreement; (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture; or (iv) that has been terminated or amended to reflect a release of the Collateral.

2. Neither the Seller, the Originator nor the Trust is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust.

3. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Contracts, the Dealer Agreements or the Purchase Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trust, a collection agent or the Indenture Trustee.
