the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the
Certificate.

                  SECTION 2.10. COVENANTS OF THE CERTIFICATEHOLDER. The
Certificateholder agrees:

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

                  (b) until the completion of the events specified in Section
8.1(d), not to, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or
consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law
relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a
substantial part of its property, or cause or permit the Trust to make any
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium
on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

                  SECTION 2.11. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE TRUST.

                  (a) For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal
income tax purposes, it will, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under
section 7701 of the Code, be disregarded as an entity distinct from the
Certificateholder for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal
income tax purposes, the Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all
assets owned by the Trust, (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the
Trust, and (iii) all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder
will be disregarded.

                  (b) Neither the Owner Trustee nor any Certificateholder will,
under any circumstances, and at any time, make an election on IRS Form 8832 or
otherwise, to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for
federal, state or any other applicable tax purpose.

                                       7

<PAGE>

                  (c) In the event that the Trust has two equity owners for
federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be treated as a partnership. At any
such time that the Trust has two equity owners, this Agreement will be amended,
in accordance with Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added
so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                      CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFER OF INTEREST

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

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

                  SECTION 3.3. AUTHENTICATION OF CERTIFICATE. Concurrently with
the initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate to be
executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its
president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer
without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.
No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or
shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A,
executed by the Owner Trustee or Bankers Trust Company as the Owner Trustee's
authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute
conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its
authentication.

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

                  The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral
Agent with the name and address of the Certificateholder on the Closing Date.
Upon any transfers of the Certificate,

                                       8

<PAGE>


the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent of the name
and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such
transfer.

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 3.6. PERSONS DEEMED CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Every Person
by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement
shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due
presentation of the Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer and any agent of the Owner
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer, may treat the
person in

                                       9

<PAGE>

whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the
Security Insurer nor any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or the Security Insurer shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 3.7. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Owner
Trustee shall maintain in New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies
where the Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect
of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee
initially designates Bankers Trust Company, 4 Albany Street, New York, New York
10006, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Owner
Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Certificateholder
and (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the
Security Insurer of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or
any such office or agency.

                  SECTION 3.8. DISPOSITION IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART. The
Certificate may be transferred in whole but not in part. Any attempted transfer
of the Certificate that would divide the ownership of the Trust Estate shall be
void. The Certificate is only transferable (i) to an Affiliate of AmeriCredit
Corp. whose stock has been pledged to the Security Insurer or (ii) to another
entity with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer in its sole
discretion. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to contain a
legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE, EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT".

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

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                         VOTING RIGHTS AND OTHER ACTIONS

                  SECTION 4.1. PRIOR NOTICE TO HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN
MATTERS. With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take
action unless at least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Owner
Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholder in writing of the proposed
action and the Certificateholder shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in
writing prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that the
Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided alternative direction:

                                       10

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 4.3. RESTRICTIONS ON CERTIFICATEHOLDER'S POWER.

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

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

                                       11
<PAGE>

request has been given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with
this Section or Section 5.3. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, the Certificateholder and the Owner Trustee shall
be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

                  SECTION 4.4. RIGHTS OF SECURITY INSURER. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, without the prior written
consent of the Security Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing), the Owner Trustee shall not (i) remove the
Servicer, (ii) initiate any claim, suit or proceeding by the Trust or compromise
any claim, suit or proceeding brought by or against the Trust, other than with
respect to the enforcement of any Receivable or any rights of the Trust
thereunder, (iii) authorize the merger or consolidation of the Trust with or
into any other business trust or other entity (other than in accordance with
Section 3.10 of the Indenture) or (iv) amend the Certificate of Trust.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                      AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 5.1. GENERAL AUTHORITY.

                  (a) The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute
and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and each
certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the
Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment
thereto, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced
conclusively by the Owner Trustee's execution thereof, and on behalf of the
Trust, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1
Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $230,000,000, Class A-2 Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $395,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $525,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $450,000,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is
authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the
Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized
from time to time to take such action as the Instructing Party recommends with
respect to the Basic Documents so long as such activities are consistent with
the terms of the Basic Documents.

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

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

                                       12

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 5.3. ACTION UPON INSTRUCTION.

                  (a) Subject to Article IV and the terms of the Spread Account
Agreement, the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) or the Certificateholder (if an Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) (the "INSTRUCTING PARTY") shall have the
exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of
the Trust, so long as such instructions are not inconsistent with the express
terms set forth herein or in any Basic Document. The Instructing Party shall not
instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Basic Documents.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 5.4. NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT
OR IN INSTRUCTIONS. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to
manage, make any

                                       13
<PAGE>

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

                  SECTION 5.5. NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS OR
INSTRUCTIONS. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of
or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents
and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.

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

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                          CONCERNING THE OWNER TRUSTEE

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

                  (a) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee;

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

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

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

                  (e) the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for or in
respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due
execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form, character, genuineness,
sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Owner Trust Estate or for or in
respect of the validity or sufficiency of the Basic Documents, other than the
certificate of authentication on the Certificate, and the Owner Trustee shall in
no event assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to the Security
Insurer, Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Noteholder
or to any Certificateholder, other than as expressly provided for herein and in
the Basic Documents;

                  (f) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or
misconduct of the Security Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or
the Servicer under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise and the Owner Trustee
shall have no obligation or liability to perform the obligations under this
Agreement or the Basic Documents that are required to be performed by the
Trustee under the Indenture or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Servicer under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

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

                  SECTION 6.2. FURNISHING OF DOCUMENTS. The Owner Trustee shall
furnish to the Certificateholder promptly upon receipt of a written request
therefor, duplicates or copies of

                  SECTION 6.3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Owner Trustee
hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Holder and the Security
Insurer (which shall have relied on such representations and warranties in
issuing the Note Policy), that:

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

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

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

                  SECTION 6.4. RELIANCE; ADVICE OF COUNSEL.

                  (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in
acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent,
order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by
it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties.
The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of
directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence
that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in
full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination
of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice
president or by the treasurer, secretary or other authorized officers of the
relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute
full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

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

                  SECTION 6.5. NOT ACTING IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Except as
provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trust hereby created Bankers Trust
(Delaware) acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual
capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document shall look
only to the Owner Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

                  SECTION 6.6. OWNER TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATE OR
RECEIVABLES. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificate (other than
the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate)
shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee assumes
no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any
Basic Document or of the Certificate (other than the signature and
countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate) or the Notes, or of
any Receivable or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security
interest created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of
any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of
the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed
to Certificateholder under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the
Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any insurance
thereon; the existence and contents of any Receivable on any computer or other
record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or
of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Receivable; the
performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor,
the Servicer or any other Person with any warranty or representation made under
any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such
warranty or representation or any action of the Trustee or the Servicer or any
subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

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

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

                  SECTION 6.9. DOING BUSINESS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Bankers Trust
(Delaware) or any successor thereto, nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to
take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the
taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or
separate trustee in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof, (i) require the consent
or
                                       17

<PAGE>

approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the
registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or
other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State
of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the
laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Bankers Trust (Delaware) (or
any successor thereto); or (iii) subject Bankers Trust (Delaware) (or any
successor thereto) to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the
State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the
consummation of the transactions by Bankers Trust (Delaware) (or any successor
thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                  SECTION 7.1. OWNER TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES. The Owner
Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as
have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between AmeriCredit and
the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
the Depositor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents,
representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in
connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties
hereunder and under the Basic Documents. AmeriCredit Corp. shall be jointly and
severally liable for the fees and expenses owing to the Owner Trustee under this
Section 7.1.

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

                  SECTION 7.3. PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE. Any amounts paid

<PAGE>

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

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                         TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

                  SECTION 8.1. TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT.

                  (a) This Agreement and the Trust shall terminate in accordance
with Section 3808 of the Business Trust Statute and be of no further force or
effect upon the latest of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last
Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option or by the
Seller at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in
respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents, or (ii) the
payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be paid to it
pursuant to this Agreement and the payment to the Security Insurer of all
amounts payable or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the rights to indemnification under Section
7.2 and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of the Trust.
The Seller or the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the
Security Insurer of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section. The
bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of the
Certificateholder, shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the
Trust, nor (y) entitle the Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate
nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto.

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

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

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

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

                                  ARTICLE IX.

             SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

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

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

                                       20

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

                  Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and
appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice
of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating
Agencies.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 9.4. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated,

                                       21
<PAGE>

or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall
be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee
shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 9.5. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located,
the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer to act as co-trustee, jointly with
the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee subject, unless an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the approval of the
Security Insurer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have
the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.

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

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

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

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

                                       22

<PAGE>

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

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

                                   ARTICLE X.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 10.1. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS.

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

                  (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time, with
the prior written consent of the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default
shall not have occurred and be continuing) by the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, to the extent such
amendment materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders,
with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, and the consent of the Certificateholder (which
consent of any Holder of a Certificate or Note given pursuant to this Section or
pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on such Holder) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to the express rights of the Security Insurer
under the Basic Documents, no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for
the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder or (b) reduce the
aforesaid

                                       23

<PAGE>

percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the Certificate
Balance required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all the outstanding Notes and the Certificateholder.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 10.2. NO LEGAL TITLE TO OWNER TRUST ESTATE IN
CERTIFICATEHOLDER. The Certificateholder shall not have legal title to any part

Bankers Trust (Delaware), as owner trustee (the "OWNER TRUSTEE"), a summary of

not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

          This is the duly authorized Certificate designated as "ASSET BACKED
CERTIFICATE" (herein called the "CERTIFICATE"). Also issued under the Indenture,
dated as of September 10, 2001, among the Trust, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as

Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, all right, to and interest of
the Seller in and to the Purchase Agreement dated as of September 10, 2001 among
AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. and the Seller and all proceeds of the

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

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

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

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

                            (Reverse of Certificate)

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

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

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

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

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

                                      A-5

early retirement of the Certificate; however, such right of purchase is
exercisable, subject to certain restrictions, only as of the last day of any
Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original
Pool Balance.

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

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

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