Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether and how to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon the written advice or an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Title to the Trust Estate Legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity.
Sale of Trust Estate (a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture and under the Insurance Agreement shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless
(1) the Holders of all Notes and the Credit Enhancer consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or
(2) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes and the Credit Enhancer in respect of amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and any other amounts due the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or
(3) The Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05), and the Credit Enhancer consents to such Sale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Security Balances of the Notes consent to such Sale. The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).
(c) Unless the Holders and the Credit Enhancer have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid.
(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
(1) any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and with the consent of the Credit Enhancer purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(2) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes and Holders of Certificates and amounts owing to the Credit Enhancer as a result of such Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;
(4) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and
(5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.
Protection of Trust Estate The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver or file, as applicable, all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:
(a) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;
(b) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;
(c) enforce any of the Collateral; or
(d) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties. The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney‑in‑fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.
Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Trust as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including, but not limited to, obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Trust Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of AmeriCredit or an Originating Affiliate (which may be accomplished by the use of a properly registered DBA name in the applicable jurisdiction) as the secured party on the Lien Certificate is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Trust.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer or the successor Servicer (if no successor Servicer has been appointed, then the Trust Collateral Agent) shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary or prudent. AmeriCredit hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. AmeriCredit hereby appoints the Trust Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all steps required to be performed by AmeriCredit pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) (it being understood that and agreed that the Trust Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take such steps with respect to all perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to which AmeriCredit has paid all expenses), including execution of Lien Certificates or any other documents in the name and stead of AmeriCredit (which may be accomplished by the use of a properly registered DBA name in the applicable jurisdiction), and the Trust Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
Payments from Owner Trust Estate All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, in its individual capacity, shall not be liable for any amounts payable under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party.

Conveyance of Trust Property (a) In consideration of the Trust’s delivery to, or upon the written order of, the Depositor of authenticated Notes, in authorized denominations in aggregate principal amounts equal to the Initial Note Balance, and authenticated Certificates, the Depositor hereby irrevocably sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trust, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all right, title and interest of the Depositor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the following:
(i) the Receivables;
(ii) all amounts received on or in respect of the Receivables after the Cutoff Date;
(iii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by the Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Depositor in such Financed Vehicles;
(iv) all proceeds from claims on or refunds of premiums with respect to physical damage, theft, GAP, credit life or credit disability insurance policies relating to the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors;
(v) the Receivable Files;

(b) The Depositor and the Trust intend that the transfer of the Trust Property contemplated by Section 2.1(a) constitute a sale of the Trust Property, conveying good title to the Trust Property, from the Depositor to the Trust. If such transfer is deemed to be a pledge to secure the payment of the Notes, however, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Trust Property, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the payment of the Notes, and in such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
