Purchaser hereunder, Seller covenants and agrees that it will not take any
action to pursue any remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or
otherwise, until a year and a day have passed since the date on which all Notes,
Certificates, pass-through certificates or other similar securities issued by
Purchaser, or a trust or similar vehicle formed by Purchaser, have been paid in

      it to Purchaser as collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State
      of the State of Texas and in such other locations as Purchaser shall have
      required. From time to time thereafter, Seller shall execute and file such
      financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation
      statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by
      law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Purchaser

      and the Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof. Seller shall
      deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and the Trust Collateral
      Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed

      Purchaser, Issuer or the Trust Collateral Agent may do so, at the expense
      of Seller.

            (b) Seller shall not change its name, identity, or corporate
      structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing
      statement or continuation


                                       7
<PAGE>

      statement filed by Seller (or by Purchaser, Issuer or the Trust Collateral
      Agent on behalf of Seller) in accordance with paragraph (a) above
      seriously misleading within the meaning ofss. 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless
      they shall have given Purchaser, Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent at
      least 60 days' prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file
      appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and
      continuation statements.

            (c) Seller shall give Purchaser, the Issuer and the Trust Collateral
      Agent at least 60 days' prior written notice of any relocation of their
      principal executive offices, if as a result of such relocation, the
      applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment
      of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new
      financing statement. Seller shall at all times maintain each office from
      which it services Receivables and its principal executive office within
      the United States of America.

            (d) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller has maintained accounts and
      records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to
      permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time as of or prior to the
      Closing Date the status of such Receivable, including payments and
      recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii)
      reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each
      Receivable and the Principal Balance as of the Closing Date. Seller shall
      maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale
      under this Agreement of the Receivables to Purchaser, and the conveyance
      of the Receivables by Purchaser to the Issuer, Seller's master computer
      records (including archives) that shall refer to a Receivable indicate
      clearly that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and has been
      conveyed by Purchaser to the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership
      of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller's computer
      systems when, and only when, the Receivable shall become a Purchased
      Receivable or shall have been paid in full.

            (e) If at any time Seller shall propose to sell, grant a security
      interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle
      receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee,
      Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other
      transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored
      from archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
      Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), shall indicate clearly
      that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to
      Issuer, and is owned by the Issuer.

            SECTION 4.2 OTHER LIENS OR INTERESTS. Except for the conveyances
hereunder, Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person,
or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Receivables
or the Other Conveyed Property or any interest therein, and Seller shall defend
the right, title, and interest of Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the
Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property against all claims of third parties
claiming through or under Seller.

            SECTION 4.3 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Seller shall pay all reasonable
costs and disbursements in connection with the performance of its obligations
hereunder and under its Related Documents.

      Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against
      any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to
      the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability
      arose out of, or was imposed upon Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trust
      Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the
      Noteholders or the Certificateholder through the negligence, willful
      misfeasance, or bad faith of Seller in the performance of its duties under
      this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of Seller's obligations
      and duties under this Agreement.

            (g) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the

      performance of Seller's trusts and duties as Servicer under the Sale and

                                   ARTICLE V.

                                   REPURCHASES

            SECTION 5.1 REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY. Upon
the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach which is
the subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material
respects, repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer and,
simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, Seller shall deposit the
Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account,
pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood
and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of
Seller to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is
continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against Seller for such breach available to Purchaser, the Issuer, the Backup
Servicer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Trust Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholder. The provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the
Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent a direct right against Seller to demand
performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Seller waives any
requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with respect to such repurchase
obligation. Any such repurchase shall take place in the manner specified in
Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the contrary,
the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not terminate upon a
termination of Seller as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the
failure of the Servicer or Purchaser to perform any of their respective
obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

            In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the
Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as
a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to
such Repurchase Events.

            SECTION 5.2 REASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Upon deposit in
the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by
Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, Purchaser and the Issuer shall take such steps
as may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to assign to Seller all of
Purchaser's and the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable
and all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to
Purchaser and the Issuer directly relating thereto, without recourse,
representation or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or
arising as a result of actions of Purchaser or the Issuer. Such assignment shall
be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the
reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding, it is held that Seller may not enforce any such Receivable on the
ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
enforce the Receivable, Purchaser and the Issuer shall, at the expense of
Seller, take such steps as Seller deems reasonably necessary to enforce the
Receivable, including bringing suit in Purchaser's or in the Issuer's name.


                                       11
<PAGE>

            SECTION 5.3 WAIVERS. No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser,
or the Issuer as assignee of Purchaser, in exercising any power, right or remedy
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            SECTION 6.1 LIABILITY OF SELLER. Seller shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement
specifically undertaken by Seller and the representations and warranties of
Seller.

            SECTION 6.2 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF SELLER OR PURCHASER. Any
corporation or other entity (i) into which Seller or Purchaser may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which Seller or
Purchaser is a party or (iii) succeeding to the business of Seller or Purchaser,
in the case of Purchaser, which corporation has a certificate of incorporation
containing provisions relating to limitations on business and other matters
substantively identical to those contained in Purchaser's certificate of
incorporation, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such corporation
shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Seller
or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement and, whether or not such
assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to Seller or Purchaser,
as the case may be, hereunder (without relieving Seller or Purchaser of their
responsibilities hereunder, if it survives such merger or consolidation) without
the execution or filing of any document or any further action by any of the
parties to this Agreement. Seller or Purchaser shall promptly inform the other
party, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Owner Trustee of such
merger, consolidation or purchase and assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
as a condition to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, (x) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.1 and 3.2
of this Agreement shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such
representations and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of
such transaction), (y) Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall have delivered
written notice of such consolidation, merger or purchase and assumption to the
Rating Agencies prior to the consummation of such transaction and shall have
delivered to the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer's Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or
succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and
that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating
to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) Seller or Purchaser, as
applicable, shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent an
Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all
financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have
been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest
of the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Receivables and reciting the
details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
protect such interest.

            SECTION 6.3 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SELLER AND OTHERS. Seller and
any director, officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on the
advice of counsel or on


                                       12
<PAGE>

any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. Seller shall not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is
not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement or its Related Documents
and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

            SECTION 6.4 SELLER MAY OWN NOTES OR THE CERTIFICATE. Subject to the
provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Seller and any Affiliate of
Seller may in their individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee
of Notes or the Certificate with the same rights as they would have if they were
not Seller or an Affiliate thereof.

            SECTION 6.5 AMENDMENT.

            (a) This Agreement may be amended by Seller and Purchaser without
      the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the
      Certificateholder or any of the Noteholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or
      (ii) to correct any provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that
      such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
      the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent, adversely
      affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or
      Noteholder.

            (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Seller
      and Purchaser with the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent and, if
      required, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders, in accordance with
      the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 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
      Certificateholder or Noteholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Seller provides
      the Trust Collateral Agent with an Opinion of Counsel, (which may be
      provided by the Seller's internal counsel) that no such amendment shall
      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 on any Note or Certificate.

            (c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, Seller
      shall have furnished written notification of the substance of such
      amendment or consent to each Rating Agency.

            (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholder
      or Noteholders 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 of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
      Certificateholder or Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
      requirements as the Trust Collateral Agent may prescribe, including the
      establishment of record dates. The consent of a Holder of a Certificate or
      a Note given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision
      of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on
      all future Holders of such Certificate or Note and of any Certificate or
      Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu
      thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the
      Certificate or Note.

            SECTION 6.6 NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications to
Seller or Purchaser hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, or sent

supplemented except as provided herein.

            SECTION 6.8 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions or terms of this
Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION 6.9 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by Seller and Purchaser that
they intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a
sale and assignment outright, and not for security, of the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
Liens, from Seller to Purchaser, and that the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property shall not be a part of Seller's estate in the event of the bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the
occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to Seller. In the event
that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by
Purchaser, the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder to Seller, the
parties intend that Seller shall have granted to Purchaser a security interest
in all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property conveyed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, and that this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

            SECTION 6.10 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in

            SECTION 6.12 CONVEYANCE OF THE RECEIVABLES AND THE OTHER CONVEYED

the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to convey the Receivables and the Other
Conveyed Property, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Issuer
on the date hereof. Seller acknowledges and consents to such conveyance and
pledge and waives any further notice thereof and covenants and agrees that the
representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and the
rights of Purchaser hereunder are intended to benefit the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller covenants and agrees to perform its
duties and obligations hereunder, in accordance with the terms hereof for the

contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall be directly liable to the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder (notwithstanding any failure by the Servicer, the Backup
Servicer or the Purchaser to perform their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under Related Documents) and that the Trust Collateral Agent may
enforce the duties and obligations of Seller under this Agreement against Seller
for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the

the original term and (E) has not been amended or collections with respect to

without any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer or Third-Party

Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act,
the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations "B" and "Z" (including amendments to the

Relief Act of 1940, each applicable state Motor Vehicle Retail Installment Sales
Act, and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform
Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity
and disclosure laws) in respect of the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles,
have been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the

it was


                                        1
<PAGE>

originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all
applicable legal requirements.

4.    ORIGINATION.  Each Receivable was originated in the United States.

      5. BINDING OBLIGATION. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal,
valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the
holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable limitations on the
availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such Receivable may be
modified by the application after the Cutoff Date of the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended; and all parties to each Receivable had
full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and all other
documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be
granted thereby.

      6. NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGOR. No Obligor is the United States of America or
any State or any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

      7. OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY. At the related Cutoff Date no Obligor had been
identified on the records of AmeriCredit as being the subject of a current
bankruptcy proceeding.

      8. SCHEDULES OF RECEIVABLES. The information set forth in the Schedules of
Receivables has been produced from the Electronic Ledger and was true and
correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the related
Cutoff Date.

      9. MARKING RECORDS. By the Closing Date, AmeriCredit will have caused the
portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables to be clearly and
unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables have been sold to AFS SenSub
by AmeriCredit and resold by AFS SenSub to the Trust in accordance with the
terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

      10. COMPUTER TAPE. The Computer Tape made available by AmeriCredit to AFS
SenSub and to the Trust on the Closing Date was complete and accurate as of the
Cutoff Date and includes a description of the same Receivables that are
described in the Schedule of Receivables.

      11. ADVERSE SELECTION. No selection procedures adverse to the Noteholders
were utilized in selecting the Receivables from those receivables owned by
AmeriCredit which met the selection criteria contained in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

      12. CHATTEL PAPER. The Receivables constitute chattel paper within the
meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Texas and New York.

      13. ONE ORIGINAL. There is only one original executed copy of each
Receivable.

      14. RECEIVABLE FILES COMPLETE. There exists a Receivable File pertaining
to each Receivable and such Receivable File contains (a) a fully executed
original of the Receivable, (b) the original executed credit application, or a
paper or electronic copy thereof and (c) the original


                                       2
<PAGE>

Lien Certificate or application therefor. Each of such documents which is
required to be signed by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the
appropriate spaces. All blanks on any form have been properly filled in and each
form has otherwise been correctly prepared. The complete Receivable File for
each Receivable currently is in the possession of the Custodian.

      15. RECEIVABLES IN FORCE. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated
or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not
been released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part. No
terms of any Receivable have been waived, altered or modified in any respect
since its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the
Receivable File. No Receivable has been modified as a result of application of
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended.

      16. LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to
the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful, void or
voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this
Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Notes.

      17. GOOD TITLE. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables to
AFS SenSub pursuant to this Agreement, AmeriCredit was the sole owner thereof
and had good and indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon
execution and delivery of this Agreement by AmeriCredit, AFS SenSub 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. AmeriCredit 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.

      18. SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLE. Each Receivable created or
shall create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest
in favor of AmeriCredit in the Financed Vehicle. The Lien Certificate and
original certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or
replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such Financed
Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be received within 180 days of the Closing
Date and will show AmeriCredit named as the original secured party under each
Receivable as the holder of a first priority security interest in such Financed
Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the Lien Certificate has not
yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, AmeriCredit has applied for or
received written evidence from the related Dealer or Third-Party Lender that
such Lien Certificate showing AmeriCredit as first lienholder has been applied
for and AmeriCredit's security interest has been validly assigned by AmeriCredit
to AFS SenSub pursuant to this Agreement. Immediately after the sale, transfer
and assignment thereof by AmeriCredit to AFS SenSub, each Receivable will be
secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the
Financed Vehicle in favor of AFS SenSub as secured party, which security
interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security interests in such
Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except,
as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting a Financed
Vehicle). As of the Cutoff Date there were no Liens or claims for taxes, work,
labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle which are or may be Liens prior
or equal to the Liens of the related Receivable.


                                       3

      19. ALL FILINGS MADE. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC
filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be taken or
performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give AFS SenSub a first priority
perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the Receivables and the proceeds
thereof and the Other Conveyed Property have been made, taken or performed.

      20. NO IMPAIRMENT. AmeriCredit 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 Trust, the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Noteholders in any Receivable or the
proceeds thereof.

      21. RECEIVABLE NOT ASSUMABLE. No Receivable is assumable by another Person
in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's
obligations to AmeriCredit with respect to such Receivable.

      22. NO DEFENSES. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission,
setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been asserted or
threatened with respect to any Receivable.

      23. NO DEFAULT. There has been no default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment
delinquencies of not more than 30 days), and no condition exists or event has
occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under
the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver of any of the
foregoing. As of the Cutoff Date no Financed Vehicle had been repossessed.

      24. INSURANCE. At the time of origination of a Receivable by AmeriCredit
or a purchase of a Receivable by AmeriCredit from a Dealer or Third-Party
Lender, each Financed Vehicle is required to be covered by a comprehensive and
collision insurance policy (i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a)
its maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor
under the related Receivable, (ii) naming AmeriCredit as loss payee and (iii)
insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision
and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage. Each
Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and damage insurance,
naming AmeriCredit and its successors and assigns as additional insured parties,
and each Receivable permits the holder thereof to obtain physical loss and
damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to do so. No
Financed Vehicle is insured under a policy of Force-Placed Insurance on the
Cutoff Date.

      25. PAST DUE. At the Cutoff Date no Receivable was more than 30 days past
due.

      26. REMAINING PRINCIPAL BALANCE. At the Cutoff Date the Principal Balance
of each Receivable set forth in the Schedules of Receivables is true and
accurate in all material respects.

      27. CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF RECEIVABLES. (A) Each Receivable had a
remaining maturity, as of the Cutoff Date, of not more than 72 months; (B) each
Receivable had an original maturity of not more than 72 months; (C) not more
than 30% of Receivables (calculated by Aggregate Principal Balance) shall have
an original term to maturity of 72 months; (D) each Receivable had a remaining
Principal Balance as of the Cutoff Date of at least $250 and not

more than $60,000; (E) each Receivable had an Annual Percentage Rate of at least
8% and not more than 33%; (F) no Receivable was more than 30 days past due as of
the Cutoff Date and (G) no funds had been advanced by AmeriCredit, any Dealer,
any Third-Party Lender, or anyone acting on behalf of any of them in order to
cause any Receivable to qualify under clause (H) above.
