          SECTION 2.10. Covenants of the Certificateholder. The Certificateholder agrees:




          (a) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificate of which the Holder is the
beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to
perform the obligations of a Holder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a
signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the
Insurer; and




          (b) until the completion of the events specified in Section 8.1(d), not to, for any reason,

the Trust will be treated as a partnership. At any such time that the Trust has two or more equity
owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate
provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

by the Trust’s execution thereof, such Derivative Contracts being solely for the benefit of the
Certificateholder; provided, however, that neither the execution and delivery
of any such Derivative Contract nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated
thereunder shall give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of
ERISA or 4975(c)(1) of the Code. Any such Derivative Contract shall constitute a fully
prepaid agreement. Any acquisition of a Derivative Contract shall be accompanied by (i) an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Insurer and the Hedge Provider provided by, and at the
expense of, the Seller to the effect that the existence of the Derivative Contract will not
cause the Trust to be characterized as an association (or publicly traded partnership)
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, (ii) the prior written consent of
the Insurer to the acquisition of such Derivative Contract, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably
withheld if the proposed Derivative Contract does not satisfy the requirements set forth in
clauses (b) and (c) below and (iii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the
then-current rating of the Notes, and the rating of the Notes without taking into account the
existence of the Policy, will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of the
acquisition of such Derivative Contract. Prior to the acquisition of any Derivative
Contracts by the Trust, the Trust at the direction and expense of the Seller, shall establish
and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Derivative Contract
Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholder. All
collections, proceeds and other amounts in respect of the Derivative Contracts payable by the
Derivative Counterparty shall be deposited into the Derivative Contract Collection Account
for distribution to the Certificateholder on the Distribution Date following receipt thereof
by the Trust in accordance with Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.




               (b) No Derivative Contract shall provide for any payment obligation on the part of the
Trust. Each Derivative Contract must (i) contain a non-petition covenant from the Derivative
Counterparty, (ii) limit payment dates thereunder to Payment Dates and (iii) contain a
provision limiting any cash payments due to the Derivative Counterparty under such Derivative
Contract solely to payments made upon the execution of the Derivative Contract in accordance
with subclause (a) above that are paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that
are available to make
payments to the Certificateholder on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.7(a)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.




               (c) In addition to the requirements contained in subclause (a) above, each Derivative
Contract must (i) provide for the direct payment of any amounts by the Derivative
Counterparty thereunder to the Collection Account at least one Business Day prior to the
related Payment Date, (ii) provide that in the event of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such Derivative Contract shall terminate upon the direction of a majority percentage
interest of the Certificateholders, (iii) prohibit the Derivative Counterparty from
“setting-off” or “netting” other obligations of the Trust and its Affiliates against such
Derivative Counterparty’s payment obligations thereunder and (iv) satisfy the Rating Agency
Condition.

ARTICLE III.




Certificate and Transfer of Interest




          SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution
by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Certificate to the initial
Certificateholder, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.




          SECTION 3.2. The Certificate. The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall
have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled
to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not
hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. A transferee of
a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to
the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Certificate in such
transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.




          SECTION 3.3. Authentication of Certificate. Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables
to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice
president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without further corporate action by the
Depositor, in authorized denominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without any additional
action, the Depositor hereby directs that a Certificate representing all the beneficial interest in
the Trust be issued in the name of, and delivered to, AFS SenSub Corp., as initial
Certificateholder. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or
shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed
by the Owner Trustee or Wilmington Trust Company as the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by
manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate
shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the
date of its authentication.




          SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificate. The Certificate
Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section
3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Certificate and of transfers and
exchanges of the Certificate as herein provided. Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial
Certificate Registrar.




          The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent with the name and address
of the Certificateholder on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent of the name and address of the
transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer.




10









 








          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or
shall cause Wilmington Trust Company as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in
the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the
Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.




          A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation
in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner
Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.




          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the
Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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 the Certificate.




          SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar
shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and
(b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and (unless an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Insurer, such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate
shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or Wilmington Trust Company, as the
Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor
and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership
interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.




          SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Every Person by virtue of becoming a
Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of the Certificate for registration of transfer, the
Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Insurer, may treat the person in whose name any Certificate shall be
registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer nor




11









 




any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer shall be bound by any notice to the
contrary.




          SECTION 3.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office
or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificate may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the
Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the
Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to
the Depositor, the Certificateholder and (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) the Insurer of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such
office or agency.




          SECTION 3.8. Disposition in Whole But Not in Part. The Certificate may be transferred in
whole but not in part. Any attempted transfer of the Certificate that would divide the ownership
of the Owner Trust Estate shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to
contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE, EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS
SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”




          SECTION 3.9. ERISA Restrictions. The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account
of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975
of the Code, or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of a plan described in (i)
or (ii) above by reason of such plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”).
By accepting and holding its beneficial
ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.




ARTICLE IV.




Voting Rights and Other Actions




          SECTION 4.1. Prior Notice to Holder with Respect to Certain Matters. With respect to the
following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless at least 30 days before the
taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholder in writing of
the proposed action and the Certificateholder shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in writing
prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that the Certificateholder has withheld
consent or provided alternative direction:




          (a) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust (unless such
amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute or unless such amendment would
not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holder);




          (b) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the
consent of any Noteholder is required;





12









 








          (c) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the
consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the
interest of the Certificateholder; or




          (d) except pursuant to Section 12.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the amendment,
change or modification of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or defect
or to amend or supplement any provision in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholder.



The Owner Trustee shall notify the Certificateholder in writing of any appointment of a successor
Note Registrar or Trust Collateral Agent within five Business Days after receipt of notice thereof.




          SECTION 4.2. Action by Certificateholder with Respect to Certain Matters. The Owner
Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of the Certificateholder or the Insurer
in accordance with the Basic Documents, to (a) remove the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof or (b) except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall
take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the
Certificateholder and the furnishing of indemnification satisfactory to the Owner Trustee by the
Certificateholder.




          SECTION 4.3. Restrictions on Certificateholder’s Power.




          (a) The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking
any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3 nor
shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.




          (b) The Certificateholder shall not have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any
provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Basic Document, unless the Certificateholder is
the Instructing Party pursuant to Section 5.3 and unless the Certificateholder previously shall
have given to the Owner Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
provided in this Agreement, and also unless the Certificateholder shall have made written request
upon the Owner Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Owner
Trustee under this Agreement and shall have offered to the Owner Trustee such reasonable indemnity
as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,
and the Owner Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit, or proceeding, and
during such 30-day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with this Section or Section 5.3. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Certificateholder and the Owner
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.





13









 








          SECTION 4.4. Rights of Insurer(a) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Basic Documents, without the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing), the Owner Trustee shall not (i) remove the Servicer, (ii)
initiate any claim, suit or proceeding by the Trust or compromise any claim, suit or proceeding
brought by or against the Trust, other than with respect to the enforcement of any Receivable or
any rights of the Trust thereunder, (iii) authorize the merger or consolidation of the Trust with
or into any other statutory trust or other entity (other than in accordance with Section 3.10 of
the Indenture) or (iv) amend the Certificate of Trust (unless such amendment is required to be
filed under the Statutory Trust Statute).




          SECTION 4.5. Action with Respect to Bankruptcy Action




          (a) The Trust shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee, (a) institute
any proceedings to adjudicate the Trust a bankrupt or insolvent, (b) consent to the institution of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, (c) file a petition seeking or consenting
to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy with
respect to the Trust, (d) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of its property, (e)
make any assignment for the benefit of the Trust’s creditors; (f) cause the Trust to admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (g) take any action in
furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above foregoing actions, a “Bankruptcy 
Action”). In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to a Bankruptcy
Action by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholders (hereby given,
which consent the Certificateholders believe to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders
and the Trust), shall consider the interest of the Noteholders and the Insurer in addition to the
interests of the Trust and whether the Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that
the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Noteholders or the Insurer.
The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the
Trust if the Owner Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust) or the
Person that requested that such letter be furnished to the Owner Trustee) a letter from an
independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the
Trust is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) shall not be
personally liable to any Person on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Section or in connection with the Owner Trustee’s giving prior written consent
to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust in accordance herewith, or withholding such consent, in good
faith, and neither the Trust nor any Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary
duty or otherwise against the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) for giving or
withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Action.




          (b) The parties hereto stipulate and agree that no Certificateholder has power to commence any
Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust or to direct the Owner Trustee to take any Bankruptcy
Action on the part of the Trust except as provided in Section 4.5(a). To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the consent of the Insurer and the Trust Collateral Agent shall be obtained prior
to taking any Bankruptcy Action by the Trust.




          (c) The provisions of this Section do not constitute an acknowledgement or admission by the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Certificateholder or any creditor of the Trust that




14









 




the Trust is eligible to be a debtor, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as
amended.




          SECTION 4.6. Covenants and Restrictions on Conduct of Business.





     (a) The Trust agrees to abide by the following restrictions:




     (i) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, the
Trust shall not incur any indebtedness;

Trust shall not engage in any dissolution, liquidation, consolidation, merger or sale of
assets;




     (iii) the Trust shall not engage in any business activity in which it is not currently
engaged other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation; and




     (iv) the Trust shall not form, or cause to be formed, any subsidiaries and shall not
own or acquire any asset other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related
documentation.




     (b) The Trust shall:




     (i) maintain books and records separate from any other person or entity;




     (ii) maintain its office and bank accounts separate from any other person or entity;




     (iii) not commingle its assets with those of any other person or entity;




     (iv) conduct its own business in its own name and use stationery or other business
forms under its own name and not that of any Certificateholder or any Affiliate;




     (v) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, pay
its own liabilities and expenses only out of its own funds;




     (vi) observe all formalities required under the Statutory Trust Statute;




     (vii) not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other person or entity;




     (viii) not hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligation of any
other person or entity;




     (ix) not acquire the obligations or securities of its Certificateholders or its
Affiliates;



15









 






     (x) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, not
make loans to any other person or entity or buy or hold evidence of indebtedness issued by
any other person or entity;




     (xi) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, not
pledge its assets for the benefit of any other person or entity;




     (xii) hold itself out as a separate entity from each Certificateholder and not conduct
any business in the name of any Certificateholder;




     (xiii) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity;




     (xiv) not identify itself as a division of any other person or entity; and




     (xv) except as required or specifically provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trust will
conduct business with the Certificateholders or any Affiliate thereof on an arm’s length
basis.



          (c) So long as the Notes or any other amounts owed under the Indenture remain outstanding, the
Trust shall not amend this Section 4.6 unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and
without the prior written consent of the Insurer.




ARTICLE V.




Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee




          SECTION 5.1. General Authority.




          (a) The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to
which the Trust is named as a party, each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to
or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment
thereto and on behalf of the Trust, each state business license (and any renewal thereof) prepared
by the Certificateholder or Servicer, including a Sales Finance Company Application (and any
renewal thereof) with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, Licensing Division, and a Financial
Regulation Application (and any renewal thereof) with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing
and Regulation, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced conclusively
by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Indenture
Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$160,000,000, Class A-2-A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000, the Class A-2-B
Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $139,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $153,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $198,000,000. In
addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all
actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further
authorized from time to time to take such action as the Instructing Party recommends with respect
to the Basic Documents so long as such activities are consistent with the terms of the Basic
Documents.





16









 








          (b) The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any applicable tax returns of the
Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents.




          SECTION 5.2. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge
(or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holder, subject
to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities
hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Servicer has agreed in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee
hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or
failure of the Servicer to carry out its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.




          SECTION 5.3. Action upon Instruction.




          (a) Subject to Article IV and the terms of the Spread Account Agreement, the Insurer (so long
as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) or the Certificateholder (if an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) (the “Instructing Party”) shall have
the exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the
management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are not inconsistent with the express
terms set forth herein or in any Basic Document, provided, however, that the Owner
Trustee shall be permitted to treat the Insurer as the Instructing Party until such time as the
Owner Trustee has received written notice that the Insurer is no longer the Instructing Party as a
result of the occurrence and continuance of an Insurer Default. The Instructing Party shall not
instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents.




          (b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic
Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by
counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is
contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.




          (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action
permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Instructing Party requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the
extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the
Instructing Party received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any
Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of
such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or
may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any
Person for such action or inaction.





17









 








          (d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of
this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or
is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the
course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of
facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the
circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner
Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any
Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of
such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or
may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any
Person for such action or inaction.




          SECTION 5.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner
Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to,
register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to
otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document
contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the
terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or
any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for
filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to
prepare or file any Commission filing (including any filings required pursuant to the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder) for the Trust or to
record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will,
at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on
any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner
Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the
administration of the Owner Trust Estate.




          SECTION 5.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee
shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust
Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in
accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.




          SECTION 5.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is
inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the actual
knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take
action that would violate the provisions of this Section.





18









 








ARTICLE VI.




Concerning the Owner Trustee




          SECTION 6.1. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Owner Trustee accepts the trusts hereby
created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trusts but only upon the
terms of this Agreement. The Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all moneys actually received by
it constituting part of the Owner Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents and this
Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable hereunder or under any Basic
Document under any circumstances, except (i) for its own willful misconduct, bad faith or
negligence, (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in
Section 6.3 expressly made by the Owner Trustee, (iii) for liabilities arising from the failure of
the Owner Trustee to perform obligations expressly undertaken by it in the last sentence of Section
5.4 hereof, (iv) for any investments issued by the Owner Trustee or any branch or affiliate thereof
in its commercial
capacity or (v) for taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions
or compensation received by the Owner Trustee. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and
subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence):




          (a) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by a Responsible
Officer of the Owner Trustee (except in the case of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence);




          (b) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Instructing Party, the Servicer or the
Certificateholder;




          (c) no provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document shall require the Owner Trustee to
expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
rights or powers hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it;




          (d) under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or
arising under any of the Basic Documents, including the principal of and interest on the Notes;




          (e) the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form,

Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Servicer under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise

Agreement or the Basic Documents that are required to be performed by the Trustee under the
Indenture or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and




          (g) the Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this
Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement or any Basic Document, at the request,
order or direction of the Instructing Party or the Certificateholder, unless such Instructing Party
or Certificateholder has offered to the Owner Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or
thereby. The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement or in any Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act.




          SECTION 6.2. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the
Certificateholder promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor, duplicates or copies of all

warrants to the Depositor, the Holder and the Insurer (which shall have relied on such
representations and warranties in issuing the Note Policy), that:




          (a) It is a Delaware banking corporation, duly organized and validly existing in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware. It has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.




          (b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it
of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.




          (c) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the consummation by it
of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions
hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware state law, governmental rule or regulation governing
the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or
constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract,
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound.




          (d) The Agreement has been, or, when executed and delivered will have been, duly authorized,
validly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee and constitutes, a valid and binding agreement
of the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Owner Trustee in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent that enforceability may (A) be subject to




20









 




insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
other similar laws, regulations or procedures of general applicability now or hereinafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally and (B) be limited by general principles of
equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).




          SECTION 6.4. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.




          (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or

party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of
directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such
resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect.




          As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically
prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by
the president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other authorized officers of
the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full
protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
reliance thereon.




          (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its
duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act
directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them,
and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents or attorneys
if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and
(ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected with reasonable
care and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or
omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such counsel,
accountants or other such persons and according to such opinion not contrary to this Agreement or
any Basic Document.




          SECTION 6.5. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article VI, in
accepting the trust hereby created Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by
reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document shall look only to
the Owner Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.




          SECTION 6.6. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificate or Receivables. The recitals
contained herein and in the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner
Trustee on the Certificate) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic Document or of the Certificate
(other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate) or the
Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any
Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Receivable in
any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect
to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the




21









 




payments to be
distributed to Certificateholder under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture,
including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the
existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Receivable
on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the
Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Receivable; the performance or
enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor, the Servicer or any other Person
with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the
accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Trustee or the Servicer or any
subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.




          SECTION 6.7. Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were
not Owner Trustee.




          SECTION 6.8. Payments from Owner Trust Estate. All payments to be made by the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee
is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to
the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust
Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Wilmington Trust Company, or any
successor thereto, in its individual capacity, shall not be liable for any amounts payable under
this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party.




          SECTION 6.9. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, nor
the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State
of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or
separate trustee in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof, (i) require the consent or approval or
authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any
other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under
the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor
thereto); or (iii) subject Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) to personal
jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from
acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by Wilmington Trust Company (or any
successor thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

          SECTION 7.1. Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Owner Trustee shall receive as
compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the
date hereof between AmeriCredit and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall




22









 




be entitled to
be reimbursed by the Depositor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and
counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its

          SECTION 7.2. Indemnification The Depositor shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall
indemnify the Owner Trustee and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the
“Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever
(collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust
Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor
shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against Expenses
arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 6.1. The
indemnities contained in this Section and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. In any event
of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the
Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. AmeriCredit Corp. shall be jointly and severally
liable for the indemnification duties and obligations of the Depositor which are described in this
Section 7.2.




          SECTION 7.3. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately
after such payment.




          SECTION 7.4. Non-recourse Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee agrees in its individual capacity and in its capacity as
Owner Trustee for the Trust that all obligations of the Trust to the Owner Trustee individually or
as Owner Trustee for the Trust shall be with recourse to the Owner Trust Estate only and
specifically shall be without recourse to the assets of the Holder.




ARTICLE VIII.




Termination of Trust Agreement




          SECTION 8.1. Termination of Trust Agreement.




          (a) This Agreement and the Trust shall terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the
Statutory Trust Statute and be of no further force or effect upon the latest of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option or
by the Seller at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such




23









 




Receivables as
provided in the Basic Documents, or (ii) the payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts
required to be paid to it pursuant to this Agreement and the payment to the Insurer of all amounts
payable or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance
Agreement; provided, however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 7.2
and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of the Trust. The Seller or
the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Insurer of any prospective termination
pursuant to this Section. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of the
Certificateholder, shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle
the Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action
or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner
Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto.




          (b) Neither the Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate
the Trust.




          (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholder shall surrender the Certificate to the Trust Collateral Agent for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to the
Certificateholder mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from
the Servicer given pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the
Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Trust Collateral Agent therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Trust Collateral Agent therein specified and
(iv) interest will cease to accrue on the Certificate. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to
the Trust Collateral Agent and the Insurer at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholder. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate, the Trust Collateral Agent
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholder amounts distributable on such Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.




          In the event that the Certificateholder shall not surrender the Certificate for cancellation
within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee
shall give a second written notice to the Certificateholder to surrender the Certificate for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second notice the Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee
may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the
Certificateholder concerning surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be paid out
of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in
the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat
laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Holder.




          (d) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the
Statutory Trust Statute and its termination, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust
to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute.

ARTICLE IX.




Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees




          SECTION 9.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at
all times be a corporation (i) satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust
Statute; (ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; (iii) having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities; and (iv) acceptable to the Insurer in its sole discretion, so long as an Insurer
Default shall not have occurred and be continuing. If such corporation shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2.




          SECTION 9.2. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Depositor, the Insurer and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor
Owner Trustee, provided that the Depositor shall have received written confirmation from each of
the Rating Agencies that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to
the Insurer by either of the Rating Agencies. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Insurer may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.




          If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at
any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor with the consent of the
Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) may remove the
Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing
Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the Insurer and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and
payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.




          Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment




25









 




of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.




          SECTION 9.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Insurer
and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective
and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement,
with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and
statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.




          No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.




          Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the
Trustee, the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the
successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.




          SECTION 9.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any corporation into which the
Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer.




          SECTION 9.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be
located, the Servicer and the Owner
Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Insurer to act as co-trustee,
jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the




26









 




Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee subject, unless an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, to the approval of the Insurer (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.



          Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:





     (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner
Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such
act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;




     (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and




     (iii) the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.



          Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given
to the Servicer and the Insurer.




          Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do
any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Miscellaneous




          SECTION 10.1. Supplements and Amendments.




          (a) This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with the prior
written consent of the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing) and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholder, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect or (ii) to correct,
supplement or modify any provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that
such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Insurer and the Owner
Trustee which may be based upon a certificate of the Servicer, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder.




          (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time, with the prior written consent of
the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) by the
Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, to the extent
such amendment materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, with the consent
of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, and
the consent of the Certificateholder (which consent of any Holder of a Certificate or Note given
pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive
and binding on such Holder) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided, however, that subject to the
express rights of the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such amendment shall (a) increase or
reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments
on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholder or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and the Certificate Balance required to consent to any such amendment, without
the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and the Certificateholder.




          Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholder, the
Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.




          It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholder, the Noteholders or the Trustee
pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents (and any other consents of the Certificateholder provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholder shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Owner Trustee may prescribe. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of
Trust, the Owner Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.




28









 








          Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (which shall also be
delivered to the Insurer) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted
by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment
have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement
or otherwise.




          SECTION 10.2. No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Certificateholder. The
Certificateholder shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The
Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with Article VIII. No
transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the
Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate shall operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to
the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.




          SECTION 10.3. Limitations on Rights of Others. The provisions of this Agreement are solely
for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholder, the Servicer and, to
the extent expressly provided herein, the Insurer, the Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in
this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Owner Trust Estate or under or in respect of this
Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein.




          SECTION 10.4. Notices.




          (a) Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt personally delivered, delivered by overnight
courier or mailed first class mail or certified mail, in each case return receipt requested, and

     The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of January 3, 2008, as amended
and restated as of May 21, 2008 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and Wilmington
Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.



     This is the duly authorized Certificate designated as “Asset Backed Certificate”
(herein called the “Certificate”). Also issued under the Indenture, dated as of May 21,
2008, between the Trust and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and trust collateral
agent, are five classes of Notes designated as “Class A-1 2.6936% Asset Backed Notes” (the
“Class A-1 Notes”), “Class A-2-A 4.47% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-2-A

conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the
Trust includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles,
vans or light duty trucks (the “Receivables”), all monies due thereunder on or after the
Cutoff Date, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the
proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under
the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, all right, to and interest of the Seller
in and to the Purchase Agreement dated as of May 21, 2008 between AmeriCredit Financial Services,
Inc. and the Seller and all proceeds of the foregoing.



     The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive
distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as
described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as
applicable.



     Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement or any other
Basic Document by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholder without the presentation
or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise
provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution
and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for
the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.



     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.



     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized
officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder
hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.

(Reverse of Certificate)




     The Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against
such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the
Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not
guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to
certain collections with respect to the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth herein and
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Seller,
and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller, by any Certificateholder upon written
request.



     The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller under the Trust Agreement at any
time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Note Majority and the
Certificateholder. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholder.



     As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar
maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new
Certificate evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington
Trust Company. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.



     The Owner Trustee, the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Insurer may treat the
person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the Owner Trustee, the Insurer nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.



     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be
paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition
of all property held as part of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer of the Receivables may at
its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early
retirement of the Certificate; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to



A-5









 







certain restrictions, only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool
Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance.



     The Certificate may not be acquired by (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan (as defined in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 or (c) any entity whose underlying
assets include assets of a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such plan’s investment
in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the
Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.



     The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Certificate or of any Receivable or related document.


Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer
of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.
