In
the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by Purchaser

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
full.  Seller and Purchaser agree that
damages will not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that this covenant

COVENANTS
OF SELLER

 

SECTION 4.1         Protection of Title of Purchaser.

 

(a)           At or prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall have filed or caused to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement,
naming Seller as seller or debtor, naming Purchaser as purchaser or secured
party and describing the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property being sold
by it to Purchaser as collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware 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 under this Agreement, of the Issuer under the Sale and

 

7

 

Servicing Agreement and
of the Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture in the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof.  Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser, the
Trust Collateral Agent and the Insurer file-stamped copies of, or filing
receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available
following such filing.  In the event
that Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, Purchaser,
Issuer or the Trust Collateral Agent may do so, at the expense of such Seller.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller
hereby authorizes the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Trust Collateral Agent to
file a record or records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including, without
limitation, financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing
offices as each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or
advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 6.9 of this Agreement.  Such financing
statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein
or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such
property in any other manner as such party may determine, in its sole
discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the
security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein.

 

(b)           Seller shall not change its name,
identity, state of incorporation or corporate structure in any manner that
would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation 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 of §9-506 of the applicable UCC, unless they shall have
given Purchaser, Issuer, the Insurer 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, the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and
be continuing) and the Trust Collateral Agent at least 60 days’ prior written
notice of any relocation that would result in a change of location of the
debtor within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the applicable UCC.  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.

 

8

 

(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.

 

SECTION 4.4         Indemnification.

 

(a)           Seller shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee,
the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,
damages, claims, and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from any breach
of any of Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein.

 

(b)           Seller shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee,
the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,
damages, claims, and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use,
ownership or operation by Seller or any affiliate thereof of a Financed
Vehicle.

 

(c)           Seller shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee,
the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,

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 Insurer, 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, the Insurer 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,

 

11

 

the
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, 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.

 

SECTION 5.3         Waivers.  No failure or delay on the part of
Purchaser, or the Issuer as assignee of Purchaser, or the Trust Collateral
Agent as assignee of the Issuer, 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.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing, Purchaser shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or
permit any other 

 

12

 

Person
to become the successor to Purchaser’s business without the prior written consent
of the Insurer.  Seller or Purchaser
shall promptly inform the other party, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent,
the Owner Trustee and, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred
and be continuing, the Insurer 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 Sections 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) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an event of default under the Insurance Agreement, shall have
occurred and be continuing, (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, the Insurer 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, the Insurer 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 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 with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) but 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,
the Insurer and the Trust Collateral Agent, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Noteholder or, if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer.

 

13

 

(b)           This Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by Seller and Purchaser, with the prior written consent of
the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing) and 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; provided further that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, such amendment shall not materially adversely
affect the interests of the Insurer.

 

(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 by telecopier (subsequently confirmed in writing), reputable overnight
courier or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be
deemed to have been given upon receipt (a) in the case of Seller, to
AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., 801 Cherry Street, Suite 3900, Fort
Worth, Texas 76102, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or (b) in the case of
Purchaser, to AFS SenSub Corp., 639 Isbell Rd., Suite 390, Reno, Nevada 85909,
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or such other address as shall be
designated by a party in a written notice delivered to the other party or to
the Issuer, Owner Trustee, the Insurer or the Trust Collateral Agent, as
applicable.

 

SECTION 6.7         Merger and Integration.  Except as specifically stated otherwise
herein, this Agreement and Related Documents set forth the entire understanding
of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior
understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement and the
Related Documents.  This Agreement may
not be modified, amended, waived or supplemented except as provided herein.

 

14

 

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.

 

(a)           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,

Property shall not be a part of Seller’s estates 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

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 (collectively, the “Collateral”):

Agreement including (a) an assignment of the security interests in the Financed
Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest
of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles, (b) any proceeds and the right to

physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering Financed

Dealer Agreement, as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the

result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Auto Loan

related Financed Vehicles, (f) the related Receivables Files and (g) the
proceeds of any and all of the foregoing,

 

(3)           all
of the Seller’s (a) Accounts, (b) Chattel Paper, (c) Documents, (d)
Instruments, and (e) General Intangibles (as such terms are defined in the
applicable UCC) relating to the property described in items (1) and (2), and

 

(4)           all
proceeds and investments with respect to items (1), (2), and (3) above.

SECTION 6.11       Counterparts.  For the purpose of facilitating the execution
of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed

be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.

 

SECTION 6.12       Conveyance of the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer. 
Seller acknowledge that Purchaser intends, pursuant to 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 Insurer, 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 benefit of the Insurer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder and that,
notwithstanding anything to 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 its 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 Insurer, the Owner Trustee, the
Trust Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder.

under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing
a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other

their respective property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the
affairs of the Purchaser or the Issuer.

 

SECTION 6.14       Benefits of Purchase Agreement.  The Insurer and its successors and assigns

AmeriCredit’s credit policies and was fully and properly executed by the
parties thereto, and AmeriCredit, each Dealer and each Third-Party Lender had
all necessary licenses and permits to originate Receivables in the state where
AmeriCredit, each such Dealer or each such Third-Party Lender was located, (C)
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the collateral
security, (D) is a Receivable which provides for level monthly payments
(provided that the period in the first Collection Period and the payment in the
final Collection Period of the Receivable may be minimally different from the
normal period and level payment) which, if made when due, shall fully amortize
the Amount Financed over the original term and (E) has not been amended or
collections with respect to which waived, other than as evidenced in the
Receivable File relating thereto.

 

2.             No Fraud or Misrepresentation.  Each Receivable was originated (i) by

3.             Compliance with Law.  All requirements of applicable federal,

the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations “B” and “Z”

Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil 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

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

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 Corp. by AmeriCredit and resold by the AFS SenSub Corp. 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 Corp. 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 or the Insurer 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, New York,
Nevada and Delaware.

 

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-2

 

(b)
the original executed credit application, or a paper or electronic copy thereof
and (c) the original Lien Certificate or application.  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 Corp. 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 Corp. 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 for each Financed Vehicle shows, 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 Corp. pursuant to this Agreement. 
This Agreement
creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the
Receivables in favor of the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all
other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Seller.  Immediately
after the sale, transfer and assignment thereof by AmeriCredit to AFS SenSub
Corp., each Receivable will be secured by an enforceable and perfected first
priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of AFS SenSub Corp.
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

 

B-3

 

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.

 

19.           All Filings Made.  All filings (including, without limitation,
UCC filings (including, without limitation, the filing by the Seller of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the State of Delaware under
applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables
granted to the Purchaser hereunder)) required to be made by any Person
and actions required to be taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction
to give the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent 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 Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Noteholders
in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. 
Other than the
security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and
except any other security interests that have been fully released and
discharged as of the Closing Date, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.
The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering
the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or that has been terminated. The
Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

 

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

 

B-4

 

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.

under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, its
right to review the Contract.

 

(N) Each Receivable
arises under a Contract with respect to which AmeriCredit has performed all
obligations required to be performed by it thereunder, and, in the event such
Contract is an installment sales contract, delivery of the Financed Vehicle to
the related Obligor has occurred.

Servicer’s knowledge, as appropriate, no Obligor is a Person involved in the
business of leasing or selling equipment of a type similar to the Obligor’s
related Financed Vehicle.

 

B-6

 

36.           Consumer Leases.  No Receivable constitutes a “consumer lease”
under either (a) the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction the law of which
governs the Receivable or (b) the Consumer Leasing Act, 15 USC 1667.

 

37.           The Seller has taken all steps

2

 

(a)                                  Organization and Licensing. The Insurer is
a duly incorporated and existing New York stock insurance company licensed to
do business in the State of New York and is in good standing under the laws of
such state.

 

(b)                                 Corporate Power. The Insurer has the
corporate power and authority to issue the Policy and execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Insurance Agreement and to perform all of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder.

 

(c)                                  Authorization; Approvals. The issuance of
the Policy and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the Insurance Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
proceedings. No further approvals or filings of any kind, including, without
limitation, any further approvals of or further filings with any governmental
agency or other governmental authority, or any approval of the Insurer’s board
of directors or stockholders, are necessary for the Policy, this Agreement and
the Insurance Agreement to constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Insurer.

 

(d)                                 Enforceability. The Policy, when issued,
and this Agreement and the Insurance Agreement will each constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Insurer, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to applicable laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’
rights generally and general equitable principles and public policy
considerations as to rights of indemnification for violations of federal
securities laws.

 

(e)                                  Financial Information. The consolidated
financial statements of the Insurer as of December 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000 and for the three years ended December 31, 2001 incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus Supplement (the “Insurer Audited Financial Statements”)
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Insurer
as of such date and for the period covered by such statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The
consolidated financial statements of the Insurer and its subsidiaries as of
September 30, 2002 incorporated by reference in the Prospectus Supplement (the
“Insurer Unaudited Financial Statements”) present fairly in all material
respects the financial condition of the Insurer as of such date and for the
period covered by such statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied in a manner consistent with the accounting
principles used in preparing the Insurer Audited Financial Statements, and,
since September 30, 2002 there has been no material change in such financial
condition of the Insurer which would materially and adversely affect its
ability to perform its obligations under the Policy.

 

(f)                                    Insurer Information. The information in
the Prospectus Supplement as of the date hereof under the captions “THE POLICY” and “THE INSURER” (the “Insurer Information”) is limited and does
not purport to provide the scope of disclosure required to be included in a
prospectus for a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933,

 

3

 

in connection
with the public offer and sale of securities of such registrant.  Within such limited scope of disclosure, the
Insurer Information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(g)                                 No Litigation. There are no actions,
suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of the Insurer’s
knowledge, threatened against it at law or in equity or before or by any court,
governmental agency, board or commission or any arbitrator which, if decided
adversely, would materially and adversely affect its condition (financial or otherwise)
or its operations or would materially and adversely affect its ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Policy or the Insurance
Agreement.

 

Section 3.  Agreements, Representations and Warranties of the
Underwriters.  The
Underwriters represent and warrant to and agree with AmeriCredit and the
Insurer that the statements in the Prospectus Supplement made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information relating to the Underwriters
furnished to AmeriCredit specifically for use in the preparation of the
Prospectus Supplement, and acknowledged in writing (referred to herein as the
“Underwriter Information”), are true and correct in all material respects.

 

Section 4.  Agreements, Representations and Warranties of
AmeriCredit.  AmeriCredit
represents, warrants to and agrees with the Insurer and the Underwriters that:

 

(a)                                  Registration Statement. The information in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, other
than the Insurer Information and the Underwriter Information, is true and
correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a
fact that is material or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

 

(b)                                 Representations and Warranties. Each of
the representations and warranties of AmeriCredit contained in the Insurance
Agreement is true and correct in all material respects, and AmeriCredit hereby
makes each such representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, the
Insurer as if the same were set forth in full herein.

 

Section 5.  Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  The Insurer hereby
agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each AmeriCredit Party and each Underwriter
Party against any and all Losses incurred by them with respect to the offer and
sale of any of the Offered Notes and resulting from the Insurer’s breach of any
of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

 

4

 

(b)                                 The Representative, on
behalf of the Underwriters, hereby agrees, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
Insurer Party and each AmeriCredit Party against any and all Losses incurred by
it with respect to the offer and sale of any of the Offered Notes and resulting
from the Repsresentative’s breach of any of its representations and warranties
set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  AmeriCredit hereby
agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Insurer Party against any and all
Losses incurred by it with respect to the offer and sale of any of the Offered
Notes and resulting from AmeriCredit’s breach of any of its representations and
warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Upon the incurrence of

reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly upon establishment by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party of the Losses incurred.

 

Section 6.  Notice To Be Given.

 

(a)                                  Except as provided in
Section 7 below with respect to contribution, the indemnification provided
herein by the Indemnifying Party shall be the exclusive remedy of each
Indemnified Party for the Losses resulting from the Indemnifying Party’s breach
of a representation, warranty or agreement hereunder; provided, however, that
each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy at law or
in equity for any such breach so long as the damages sought to be recovered
shall not exceed the Losses incurred thereby resulting from such breach.

 

(b)                                 In the event that any
action or regulatory proceeding shall be commenced or claim asserted which may
entitle an Indemnified Party to be indemnified under this Agreement, such party
shall give the Indemnifying Party written or facsimile notice of such action or
claim reasonably promptly after receipt of written notice thereof.

 

(c)                                  Upon request of the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and
any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall
pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. The
Indemnifying Party may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to the
Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in connection
therewith, provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or
potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation. Unless
it shall assume the defense of any proceeding the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding, effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party
from

 

5

 

and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of any such action or claim in reasonable cooperation with, and with
the reasonable cooperation of, each Indemnified Party.

 

(d)                                 The Indemnified Party
will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying
Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to assume
the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of
the commencement of the action or (iii) the named parties to any such action
include the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and, on the other hand, the
Indemnified Party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them
(in which case if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in
writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action or proceeding on such Indemnified Party’s behalf),
in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including
local counsel) will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and all such
fees and expenses will be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. In the
event that any expenses so paid by the Indemnifying Party are subsequently
determined not to be required to be borne by the Indemnifying Party hereunder,
the party which received such payment shall promptly refund to the Indemnifying
Party the amount so paid by such Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all AmeriCredit
Parties, more than one counsel for all Underwriter Parties and more than one
counsel for all Insurer Parties, as applicable.

 

(e)                                  The Indemnified
Parties shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in resolving any event
which would give rise to an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 5 hereof
in the most efficient manner.

 

(f)                                    No settlement of
any such claim or action shall be entered into without the consent of each
Indemnified Party who is subject to such claim or action, on the one hand, and
each Indemnifying Party who is subject to such claim or action, on the other
hand; provided, however, that the consent of such Indemnified Party shall not
be required if such settlement fully discharges, with prejudice against the plaintiff,
the claim or action against such Indemnified Party.

 

(g)                                 Any failure by an
Indemnified Party to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve
the Indemnifying Party of liability only if such failure is materially

 

6

 

prejudicial to
any legal pleadings, grounds, defenses or remedies in respect thereof or the
Indemnifying Party’s financial liability hereunder, and then only to the extent
of such prejudice.

 

Section 7.  Contribution.

 

(a)                                  To provide for just
and equitable contribution if the indemnification provided by the Insurer is
determined to be unavailable for an Underwriter Party (other than pursuant to
Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement), or if the indemnification provided by any
Underwriter is determined to be unavailable for any Insurer Party (other than
pursuant to Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement), the Insurer and the Underwriters
shall contribute to the aggregate costs of liabilities arising from any breach
of their respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
on the basis of the relative fault of all Insurer Parties and all Underwriter
Parties.

 

(b)                                 To provide for just
and equitable contribution if the indemnification provided by the Insurer is
determined to be unavailable for any AmeriCredit Party (other than pursuant to
Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement), or if the indemnification provided by
AmeriCredit is determined to be unavailable for any Insurer Party (other than
pursuant to Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement), the Insurer and AmeriCredit
shall contribute to the aggregate cost of liabilities arising from any breach
of their respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
on the basis of the relative fault of all Insurer Parties and all AmeriCredit
Parties.

 

(c)                                  To provide for just
and equitable contribution if the indemnification provided by the Underwriter
is determined to be unavailable for any AmeriCredit Party (other than pursuant
to Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement), the Underwriter and AmeriCredit shall
contribute to the aggregate costs of liabilities arising from any breach of
their respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement on
the basis of the relative fault of all Underwriter Parties and all AmeriCredit
Parties.

 

(d)                                 The relative fault of
each Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of each Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the breach of, or alleged breach of, any of its representations and warranties
set forth in Section 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement relates to information
supplied by, or action within the control of, the Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such breach.

 

(e)                                  The parties agree
that the Insurer shall be solely responsible for the Insurer Information and
for the Insurer Financial Statements, that the Underwriters shall be solely
responsible for the Underwriter Information provided by the Underwriters in
writing for use in the Prospectus Supplement and that AmeriCredit shall be
responsible for all other information in the Registration Statement and in the
Prospectus Supplement.

(f)                                            No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(g)                                         The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain operative
and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter Party, any AmeriCredit Party or any Insurer Party,
(ii) the issuance of any Offered Notes or the Policy or (iii) any termination
of this Agreement.

 

(h)                                         Upon the
incurrence of any Losses entitled to contribution hereunder, the contributor
shall reimburse the party entitled to contribution promptly upon establishment
by the party entitled to contribution to the contributor of the Losses
incurred.
