On each Determination Date until the later of (i) the date on which the Notes are no longer Outstanding or (ii) the Commitment Termination Date, the Servicer shall deliver an updated Schedule of 2011-A Lease Agreements and 2011-A Leased Vehicles to the Indenture Administrative Agents and the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.03. Accounts.
(a) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, at all times during the term of the Indenture, an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (said account being called the “2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account” and being initially identified as “AmeriCredit 2011-A Exchange Note Collections Account” account no. 00000000). Deposits to and withdrawals from the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account shall be made as set forth in the 2011-A Servicing Agreement, the 2011-A Exchange Note Supplement and the Indenture.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, at all times during the term of the Indenture, an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties (said account being called the “Indenture Collections Account” and being initially identified as “AmeriCredit 2011-A Indenture Collections Account” account no. 00000000). Deposits to and withdrawals from the 2011-A Indenture Collections Account shall be made as set forth in the 2011-A Exchange Note Supplement and the Indenture.
2
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, at all times during the term of the Indenture, an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (said account being called the “Note Payment Account” and being initially identified as “AmeriCredit 2011-A Note Payment Account” account no. 00000000). Deposits to and withdrawals from the Note Payment Account shall be made as set forth in the Indenture and the Note Purchase Agreement.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, at all times during the term of the Indenture, an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuer Trust Certificateholder (said account being called the “Security Deposit Account” and being initially identified as “AmeriCredit 2011-A Security Deposit Account” account no. 00000000).
(e) All monies deposited from time to time in the Accounts pursuant to this 2011-A Servicing Supplement and the other Program Documents and the Accounts shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Indenture Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein and therein provided. If any Account shall cease to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, as necessary, assist the Servicer in causing such Account to be moved to an institution at which it shall be an Eligible Deposit Account.
(f) The Indenture Trustee or other Person holding the Accounts shall be the “Securities Intermediary” with respect to the Accounts. If the Securities Intermediary in respect of the Accounts is not the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 2.03(f). The Securities Intermediary agrees that:
(i) Each of the Accounts is an account to which “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) (“Financial Assets”) of the UCC in effect in the State of New York will be credited;
(ii) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to an Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially endorsed to the Issuer;
(iii) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the 2011A Exchange Note Servicing Agreement and the Indenture will be promptly credited to the applicable Account;
(iv) Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to an Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;
3
(v) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to an Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer or the Servicer;
(vi) Each Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Accounts (as well as the “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;
(vii) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of the Indenture, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of the Indenture will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuer purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 2.04; and
(viii) Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer in the Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Administrative Agents and the Issuer thereof.
The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only Person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Accounts.
Section 2.04. General Provisions Regarding Accounts.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection and the Indenture Collections Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the next Payment Date in the Collection Period following the Collection Period during which the investment is made. All income or other gain from investments of monies deposited in the 2011A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account during a Collection Period shall be deposited into the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account or the Indenture Collections Account, as applicable, on the related Payment Date, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account or the Indenture Collections Account, as applicable. The Titling Trust will be the tax owner of the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and all investment earnings on the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account will be taxable to the Titling Trust. The Issuer or, if there is a single Issuer Trust Certificateholder, such Issuer Trust Certificateholder will be the tax owner of the Indenture Collections Account and all investment earnings on the Indenture Collections Account will be taxable to the Issuer or such Issuer Trust Certificateholder, as the case may be.
4
The Indenture Trustee will not be directed to make any investment of any funds or to sell any Permitted Investment held in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account will continue to be perfected in such Permitted Investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person. Except as directed by the Required Noteholders after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no such Permitted Investment shall be sold prior to maturity.
(b) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for funds on deposit in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account to the Indenture Trustee by 12:00 noon, New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture or (iii) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account in Permitted Investments of the type described in clause (i) of the definition thereof.
(c) Subject to Section 6.01(c) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account and the Indenture Collections Account resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee as obligor as a result of the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.
Section 2.05. Reallocation and Repurchase of 2011-A Lease Agreements and 2011-A Leased Vehicles; Purchase of Matured Vehicles.
(a) In the event the Servicer (i) grants an extension with respect to any 2011-A Lease Agreement that is inconsistent with the Customary Servicing Practices or that extends the term of such 2011-A Lease Agreement past the then-current Final Payment Date or (ii) modifies any 2011-A Lease Agreement to change the related Contract Residual Value or Monthly Payment, the Servicer shall, on the Deposit Date related to the Collection Period in which such extension was granted or modification was made, as applicable, cause the reallocation of the affected 2011-A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle to the Lending Facility Pool by depositing to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Reallocation Payment with respect to such 2011A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle.
5
(b) Upon discovery by the Trustee, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, an Indenture Administrative Agent or the Depositor that any representation or warranty contained in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.11 was incorrect in respect of any 2011-A Lease Agreement or the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle as of the applicable Cutoff Date in a manner that materially adversely affects the interest of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such 2011-A Lease Agreement or such 2011-A Leased Vehicle, the entity discovering such incorrectness (if other than the Servicer) shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer. On or before the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the Servicer discovers or is notified of such incorrectness, the Servicer shall cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition with respect to which the representation or warranty was incorrect as of the applicable Cutoff Date. If the Servicer does not cure such circumstance or condition by such Deposit Date, the Servicer shall cause the reallocation of the affected 2011-A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle to the Lending Facility Pool by depositing to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account on such Deposit Date an amount equal to the Reallocation Payment with respect to such 2011-A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle.
(c) In the event that the Certificate of Title issued in respect of any 2011-A Leased Vehicle does not identify (1) the Titling Trust, by use of a Titling Trust Permissible Name, as owner of the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle and (2) the Collateral Agent, in a manner permitted by the Credit and Security Agreement, as a secured party with respect to the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle, by the 150th day after the date of origination of the related 2011-A Lease Agreement or such later date on which the Titling Trust acquired such 2011-A Lease Agreement, the Servicer shall on the Deposit Date related to the Collection Period during which such 150th day occurs, cause the reallocation of the affected 2011-A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle to the Lending Facility Pool by depositing to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Reallocation Payment with respect to such 2011-A Lease Agreement and 2011-A Leased Vehicle.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, if the Servicer discovers a breach, or is provided with any notice of a breach pursuant to such section, regarding a Lease Agreement or Leased Vehicle that is a 2011-A Lease Agreement or 2011-A Leased Vehicle on the date that such breach is discovered or such notice is provided, the Servicer shall be obligated to take the actions described in such Section 2.06(b) by no later than the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the related breach is discovered or the related notice is provided (rather than by the Payment Date following the Collection Period that ends at least 30 days after the Servicer discovers or is notified of such breach).
(e) The Servicer shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrative Agents of each reallocation to the Lending Facility Pool of a 2011-A Lease Agreement and the related 2011-A Leased Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.05(a), (b) or (c) that was made during a Collection Period in the Servicer Report that is delivered for such Collection Period.
6
(f) The Servicer may purchase any 2011-A Leased Vehicle that becomes a Matured Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.06(f) of the Basic Servicing Agreement for a purchase price equal to the Contract Residual Value of the related 2011-A Lease Agreement.
(g) The obligation of the Servicer under this Section 2.05 shall survive any termination of the Servicer hereunder.
Section 2.06. 2011-A Designated Pool Collections.
(a) The Servicer shall, with respect to all 2011-A Designated Pool Collections, from time to time determine the amount of such 2011-A Designated Pool Collections and during each Collection Period shall deposit all such 2011-A Designated Pool Collections in the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account when required pursuant to clause (b).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.07(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall remit, or shall cause its agent or any applicable Subservicer to remit, to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account all 2011-A Designated Pool Collections by the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day after receipt thereof or, in the case of 2011-A Designated Pool Collections received by the Servicer, such agent or such Subservicer for which the Servicer, such agent or such Subservicer, as applicable, does not have all Payment Information by the close of business on such second (2nd) Business Day, by the close of business on the day on which all such Payment Information is received. Pending deposit into the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account, 2011-A Designated Pool Collections may be employed by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and need not be segregated from its own funds.
(c) On each Exchange Note Increase Date, the Servicer shall remit to the 2011-A Exchange Note Collection Account all 2011-A Designated Pool Collections with respect to the 2011-A Lease Agreements being allocated to the 2011-A Designated Pool on such Exchange Note Increase Date that were received by the Servicer during the period commencing on but excluding the related Cutoff Date and ending on and including the second Business Day prior to such Exchange Note Increase Date.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.07(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, upon the termination of AmeriCredit as Servicer pursuant to Section 2.10(c), AmeriCredit shall remit all Security Deposits held by it in respect of the 2011-A Exchange Note Assets to the Security Deposit Account. Any such Security Deposits shall be applied by the Successor Servicer in accordance with Section 2.07(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.07. Servicing Compensation; Expenses.
(a) As compensation for the performance of its obligations under the 2011-A Servicing Agreement, on each Payment Date the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee for its performance during the immediately preceding Collection Period (the “Designated Pool Servicing Fee”) in accordance with Article V of the 2011-A Exchange Note Supplement in an amount equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) times (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate times (iii) the weighted average Aggregate Securitization Value during such Collection Period.
7
(b) The Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation with respect to the 2011-A Exchange Note Assets in the form of Administrative Charges to the extent not required for the payment of insurance premiums, Taxes or similar charges or other charges required to be paid to Dealers or other third parties allocable to the 2011-A Lease Agreements.
Section 2.08. Third Party Claims. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, upon learning of a Claim or Lien of whatever kind of a third party that would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Depositor or the Issuer with respect to the 2011-A Exchange Note Assets, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Administrative Agents of any such Claim or Lien.
Section 2.09. Reporting by the Servicer; Delivery of Certain Documentation; Inspection.
(a) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Titling Trust and the Indenture Administrative Agents a Servicer Report for the related Collection Period.

(b) The Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants to deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer Titling Trust and the Indenture Administrative Agents (i) on or before the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the 2011-A Closing Date and (ii) in each successive calendar year, beginning in 2012, by the anniversary of such date, with respect to the prior calendar year (or such other period in the case of the first such report), a report on the application of agreed upon procedures (such procedures to be substantially similar to those set forth in the letter attached as Exhibit B), which will include testing of and application of such procedures to the applicable Subservicer, if any.
(c) The Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants to deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer Titling Trust and the Indenture Administrative Agents, on or before April 30 (or 120 days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year, if other than December 31) of each year, beginning on April 30, 2012, with respect to the twelve months ended the immediately preceding December 31 (or other applicable date) (or such other period as shall have elapsed from the 2011-A Closing Date to the date of such certificate (which period shall not be less than six months)), a statement (the “Accountants’ Report”) addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, to the effect that such firm has audited the books and records of GMF, in which the Servicer is included as a consolidated subsidiary, and issued its report thereon in connection with the audit report on the consolidated financial statements of GMF and that (1) such audit was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances and (2) the firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
8
