Plan Investor unless such transferee’s acquisition and holding of the Class E Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of any provision of Similar Law. Each transferee of a Class E Note that is a Book Entry Note shall be
deemed to represent that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity. 
 No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,

Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note,

purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was
delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. 

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum

SECTION 5.2 Rights Upon Event of Default. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, or if so requested in writing by the Majority Noteholders shall, declare by written notice to the
Issuer that the Notes become, whereupon they shall become, immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued interest thereon. 
 (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article V provided, the Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

 31 









 (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 
 (C) all
other outstanding fees and expenses of the Issuer; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment
of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or

then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable
Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

 (b) Each Issuer Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints the Controlling Party as the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Issuer Secured Party for so long as such Issuer Secured Party is not the Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper,
pleading or instrument and to do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead of such Issuer Secured Party such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and in the name of such Issuer Secured Party under this
Indenture (including specifically under Section 5.4) and under the Basic Documents which such Issuer Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, desirable or convenient in such Controlling Party’s sole discretion to effect
the purposes contemplated hereunder and under the Basic Documents and, without limitation, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with respect to the
administration, maintenance or disposition of the Trust Estate. 

  
 32 









 (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, and shall, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee or the
Trustee at the direction of such Majority Noteholders shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 10.1(b) hereof when and as due, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee or the
Majority Noteholders, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other
proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable 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 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 Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered,
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 Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee

 33 









 (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; 
 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 

(f) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the 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 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. 
 (g)
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the 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 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 Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 
 (h) In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the 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 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.5): 
 (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
moneys adjudged due; 

  
 34 









 (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate; 
 (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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and 
 (iv) direct the Trust Collateral Agent to sell the Trust Estate 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 Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless: 
 (I) such Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii), or 
 (II) either 
 (x) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes consent thereto, or 
 (y) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders
are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or 
 (z) the Trustee determines that the Trust Estate 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 the Notes had not
been declared due and payable, and the Trustee provides prior written notice to the Issuer (who shall deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies) and obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (y) and (z), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain 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 Estate for such purpose. 

SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2
following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. 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 Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to direct the Trust
Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain 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 Estate for such purpose.

other appropriate right or remedy. 

  
 38 









 SECTION 5.11 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee,
the Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance of 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 Receivable Files under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 SECTION 6.2 Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., or
any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder. 
 (d) The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with
respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do
so by the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount thereof; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such
request upon demand. 

  
 43 









 (h) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on investments except for
losses resulting from the failure of the Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in accordance hereunder. If the Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or Note Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee
shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar. 
 SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The 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 Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar
or co-Note Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12. 

SECTION 6.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document
issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of
the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholder if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice
is in the interests of Noteholders. 
 SECTION 6.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. At the end of each calendar year, the
Trustee shall deliver to each person who at any time during the calendar year was a Noteholder a statement as to the aggregate amounts of interest and principal paid to the Noteholder to the extent required by the Code and any other information as
may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. 
 SECTION 6.7
Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) from time to time compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) for all


  
 44 









 
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation
and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s, the Trust Collateral Agent’s and the Backup Servicer’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in connection with the
acceptance or the administration of this Trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XI of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to defend the claim, and the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer through the Trustee’s, the Trust
Collateral Agent’s or the Backup Servicer’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 (b) The
Issuer’s payment obligations to the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral
Agent or the Backup Servicer. When the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer incurs expenses after the occurrence of a 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
Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of the Certificateholder
or any Noteholder. In addition, the Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Seller shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Issuer may and
shall, remove the Trustee, if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11; 

(ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the 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 Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee’s affairs;


  
 45 









 (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 Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days; 

(iv) the 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 Trustee or for any substantial part of the 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 action in furtherance of any
of the foregoing; or 
 (v) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being
referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of
the retiring Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee.

 Notwithstanding the replacement of the 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 Trustee. 

  
 46 









 SECTION 6.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association, without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee. The Trustee shall provide prior written notice of any such transaction to the Issuer (who shall deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies). 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated
but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes
or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or
Separate Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee
or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof. 

(b) Every 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 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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
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 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 Estate 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 Trustee; 

  
 47 









 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and 

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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 Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. 

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the 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 Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall invest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 

(e) Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of the co-trustee or separate trustee will be borne by the Trust
Estate. 
 SECTION 6.11 Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
§ 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall have a long-term debt rating of BBB-, or an equivalent rating, or
better by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation
of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

Within 90 days after ascertaining the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall not have been cured or waived, unless authorized by
the Commission, the Trustee shall resign with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and/or the Class E Notes in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Indenture, and the
Issuer shall appoint a successor Trustee for each of such Classes, as applicable, so that there will be separate Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes.
In the event the Trustee fails to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall comply with clauses (ii) and (iii) of TIA Section 310(b). 

  
 48 









 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to any Class
of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and the successor Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any
of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided herein. 
 SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated. 
 SECTION 6.13 Appointment and Powers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Issuer Secured
Parties hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trust Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as Trust Collateral Agent with
respect to the Collateral for the Issuer Secured Parties, to maintain custody and possession of such Collateral (except as otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents. Each Issuer Secured Party hereby authorizes the Trust Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, as the Trustee may
direct and as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Trust Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, the
execution of any powers of attorney. The Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered pursuant to this Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions;
provided that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon its own accord or in accordance with any instructions (i) if such actions are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this Indenture, (ii) if
such actions are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) with respect to actions for which the Trustee has been directed to act but for which the Trustee has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such
instructions 
 shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this
Indenture provides that the Trust Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions. 

  
 49 









 SECTION 6.14 Performance of Duties. The Trust Collateral Agent shall have no duties
or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this Indenture. The Trust Collateral Agent
shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral Agent. The Trust Collateral Agent shall, and hereby agrees that it
will, subject to this Article, perform all of the duties and obligations required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 6.15 Limitation on Liability. Neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust Collateral Agent
be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Indenture or any of the Collateral (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Indenture, the Trust Collateral
Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer or the Issuer Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Trust Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral, except for the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the
Trust Collateral Agent, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer Secured Parties except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Issuer Secured Parties. The Trust Collateral Agent shall be
protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed
by the Trust Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent actual knowledge to the contrary by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent) the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be
required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto. The Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or
nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to
follow any direction from the Trustee or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder unless it shall have received reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral
Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it. 

  
 50 









 SECTION 6.16 Reliance Upon Documents. In the absence of negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document or instrument. 

SECTION 6.17 Successor Trust Collateral Agent. 

(a) Merger. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be
consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is
a party, shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be and become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the title to and interest in the Collateral and all of the
trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interest of the Issuer Secured Parties in the Collateral; provided that any such successor shall also
be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9. 
 (b) Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any
successor Trust Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer; provided that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not so resign unless it shall also resign as Trustee hereunder. 

(c) Removal. The Trust Collateral Agent may be removed by the Trustee at any time (and should be removed at any
time that the Trustee has been removed), with or without cause, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer. A temporary successor may be removed at any
time to allow a successor Trust Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to subsection (d) below. Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the
effective date of the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent and the acceptance in writing by such successor Trust Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and (ii) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 3.6. 
 (d) Acceptance by Successor. The Trustee shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent. Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent appointed
hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Trustee, each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
estates, properties, 

  
 51 









 
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or the Issuer, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer or an Issuer Secured Party is reasonably required by a successor
Trust Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments
shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the
instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent required
by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the
perfection of the security interests granted hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.18 Compensation. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder other than the compensation it is entitled to receive in its capacity as Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.19 Representations and Warranties of the Trust Collateral Agent and the Issuer. 
 (a) The Trust Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Issuer and to each Issuer Secured Party as follows: 
 (i) Due Organization. The Trust Collateral Agent is a national banking association and is duly authorized and licensed under applicable law to conduct its business as presently conducted.

 (ii) Corporate Power. The Trust Collateral Agent has all requisite right, power and authority to
execute and deliver this Indenture and to perform all of its duties as Trust Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 (iii)
Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by the Trust Collateral Agent of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its duties hereunder and
thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings and no further approvals or filings, including any governmental approvals, are required for the valid execution and delivery by the Trust Collateral Agent, or the
performance by the Trust Collateral Agent, of this Indenture and such other Basic Documents. 

  
 52 









 (iv) Valid and Binding Indenture. The Trust Collateral Agent has duly
executed and delivered this Indenture and each other Basic Document to which it is a party, and each of this Indenture and each such other Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Collateral Agent, enforceable
against the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with its terms, except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. 
 (v) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of each Basic Document to which it is a party by the Trust Collateral Agent and the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its obligations
thereunder, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, do not conflict with or result in any violation of (i) any law or regulation of the United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Collateral Agent
or (ii) the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Trust Collateral Agent. 
 (vi) No Actions.
To the best of the Trust Collateral Agent’s knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations known to the Trust Collateral Agent, either pending or threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
other tribunal or governmental instrumentality which would, if adversely determined, affect in any material respect the consummation, validity or enforceability against the Trust Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or
otherwise, of any Basic Document. 
 (b) The Issuer represents and warrants that the representations and
warranties set forth on the attached Schedule of Representations with respect to the Receivables as of the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date, are true and correct. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of
this Indenture and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the pledge of the Receivables to the Trust Collateral Agent and shall not be waived. 
 SECTION 6.20 Waiver of Setoffs. The Trust Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral Agent may otherwise at any time have under applicable law
with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

for any of the following purposes:

indenture; provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes; 
 (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

 The Trustee is
hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. 

(b) The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of
the Notes but with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, as evidenced to the Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholder. 
 SECTION 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, and with the consent of the Majority Noteholders, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee, enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes

(i) change the date 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 Estate to payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable; 

  
 57

the Redemption Date); 
 (iii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the

waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; 
 (vii) modify any of the
provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Distribution Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such
calculation) or to affect the rights of the Noteholders to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; or 
 (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 Estate 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 Trustee 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 Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith. 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

  
 58 









 Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee
to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any 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 amendments or
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and 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. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

SECTION 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof,
this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this
Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 SECTION 9.5 Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the
Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION 9.6 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 Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so
determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding

 Redemption of Notes 
 SECTION 10.1 Redemption. 

(a) The Notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on any Distribution Date on which the Servicer or Seller
exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that no such redemption may be effected unless the
Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on such Distribution Date. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 10.1(a), the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than 25 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee in the Collection Account the amount required to
be so deposited pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, whereupon all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date subject to the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.2 to each
Holder of Notes. 
 (b) In the event that the assets of the Trust are distributed pursuant to Section 8.1 of
the Trust Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall be paid to the Noteholders up to the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If amounts are to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to
this Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Trustee not later than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the Redemption
Date. 
 SECTION 10.2 Form of Redemption. (a) Notice of redemption under Section 10.1(a) shall be given by the
Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of 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: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 
 (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 3.2); and 
 (iv) that interest on
the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date. 

  
 60 









 (b) Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the 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. 

(c) Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.1(b) is not required to be given to the Noteholders. 

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(a)), 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. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 Miscellaneous 

SECTION 11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

 (i) a
statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other
property or securities with the Trust Collateral Agent that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a)
or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the
Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited. 
 (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish
to the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to 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 (i) above and this clause (ii), 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 or less than 1% percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

(iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivables, Sold Receivables or Liquidated Receivables,
whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof. 
 (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an Independent Certificate as to the same matters
if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property other than Purchased Receivables, Sold Receivables and Defaulted Receivables, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current

 62 









 SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to 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 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 Trustee’s right to 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 Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced 

  
 63 









 
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 Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. In the event the Trustee shall
receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Majority Noteholders, the Trustee in its sole discretion may
determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
 (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 Trustee. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(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 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 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 Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 

(b) The Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2012-1, in care of Wilmington
Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2012-1, c/o AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., 801
Cherry Street, Suite 3500, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the
Noteholders to the Trustee. 
 (c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies shall be provided by the
Issuer in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service,
Inc., 7 World Trade Center at 250 Greenwich Street, Asset Finance Group, 24th floor, New York, New York 10007; or (ii) in the case of 

  
 64 









 
S&P, via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@sandp.com; for any information not available in electronic format, hard copies should be sent to the following address: 55 Water Street, 41st
floor, New York, New York 10041-0003, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice 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 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 here in 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 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 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 a Default or Event of Default. 

SECTION 11.6 [Reserved] 
 SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. 
 The provisions of TIA §§ 310
through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

All agreements of the Trust Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 SECTION 11.10 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 11.11 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, the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an Ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.12 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 11.13
GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE, GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO

 SECTION 11.14

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A-1 0.44685% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of February 2, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this
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. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and
will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of
the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing March 8, 2012. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date. 
 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the
earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the
extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall 

  
 A-1-4









 
be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are
expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by
such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new 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 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition and holding of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial
interest herein that is a Benefit Plan Entity shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it
is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the 

  
 A-1-5









 
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee 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, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income
taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of
the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture. 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set
forth. 
 This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference
to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. 

  
 A-1-6









 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 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 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 Wilmington
Trust Company 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 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 Note by the acceptance hereof
agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, 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 Note.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A-3 1.23% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-3 Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of February 2, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this
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. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and
will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of
the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing March 8, 2012. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date. 
 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the
earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-3 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the
extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall 

  
 A-3-4









 
be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are
expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-3 Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by
such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new 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 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition and holding of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial
interest herein that is a Benefit Plan Entity shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it
is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C 2.67% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of February 2, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this 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. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and
will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of
the Class C Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day, commencing March 8, 2012. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date. 
 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the
Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto. 
 Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check
mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name
of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person
entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one
or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall 

  
 C-4









 
be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are
expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class C Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by
such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new 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 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition and holding of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial
interest herein that is a Benefit Plan Entity shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it
is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E 5.94% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of February 2, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this 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. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and
will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of
the Class E Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day, commencing March 8, 2012. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date. 
 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the
Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto. 
 Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check
mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name
of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person
entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one
or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall 

  
 E-5









 
be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are
expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by
such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new 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 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition and holding of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial
interest herein that is a Benefit Plan Entity shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption (or, if it
is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition and holding will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee 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 Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee 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, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income
taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with

Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture. 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set
forth. 
 This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference
to its conflict of law provisions, 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 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 Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

 SCHEDULE A 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER 
 Representations and Warranties Regarding
the Receivables: 
 1. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. This Indenture creates a valid and continuing Security
Interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, which Security Interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. The Issuer
owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent), claim or encumbrance of any Person. 

2. Perfection of Security Interest. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Party or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in
the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Party. 
 3. All
Filings Made. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect the Trust Collateral Agent’s security interest in the property securing the Receivables, provided that, if not done as of the Closing Date, the Issuer will cause, within ten
days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the State of Delaware under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Trust Collateral Agent
hereunder. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or a security
interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Trust Collateral Agent.” 

4. No Impairment. The Issuer has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a
right to payments due under the Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. Other than the security interest granted to the Trust Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not
aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it. 

  
 Sch.A-1









 5. Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or
“electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Texas, New York, Nevada and Delaware. 
 6. Good Title. Immediately prior to the pledge of the Receivables to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer was the sole owner thereof and had good and indefeasible title
thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trust shall have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien. No Dealer or Third-Party Lender has a participation
in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable. The Issuer has not taken any action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under the related Insurance Policies or the related
Dealer Agreements, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, Dealer Assignments or Third-Party Lender Assignments or to payments due under such Receivables. 
 7. Possession of Original Copy. The Servicer, as Custodian on behalf of the Issuer, has in its possession or control the original contract (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”,
the authoritative copy) that constitutes or evidences the Receivable. 
 8. One Original. There is only one original
executed copy (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, one authoritative copy) of each Contract. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each authoritative copy (a) is unique, identifiable and
unalterable (other than with the participation of the Trust Collateral Agent in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision),
(b) has been marked with a legend to the following effect: “Authoritative Copy” and (c) has been communicated to and is maintained by or on behalf of the Custodian. 

9. Not an Authoritative Copy. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the Seller has marked all
copies of each such Contract other than an authoritative copy with a legend to the following effect: “This is not an authoritative copy.” 
 10. Revisions. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the related Receivables have been established in a manner such that (a) all copies or revisions that add
or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be made with the participation of the Trust Collateral Agent and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be readily
identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.
