or secured party and describing the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property being sold

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

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 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

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 statements.
(c) Seller shall give Purchaser, the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent at least 60
days’ prior written notice of any relocation that would result in a change of the

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 a Sold Receivable or shall have been paid in full or pursuant to the terms of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(e) If at any xxxx Xxxxxx 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 or a Sold 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

interest of Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property

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
11
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.
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.

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.

thereof by Certificateholder or Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements

any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

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

utilized in selecting the Receivables from those receivables owned by AmeriCredit which met 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 fully executed original of the Receivable
B-2
and the original Lien Certificate or a copy of the application therefor. Each of such
documents which is required to be signed by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the

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

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 (or a
Titled Third-Party Lender) 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, the Issuer or a Titled Third-Party Lender, as
applicable, as first lienholder has been applied for and any Titled Third-Party Lender’s security
interest has been validly assigned by the Titled Third-Party Lender to AmeriCredit 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 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
B-3
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 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 Receivables 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. 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 an origination of a Receivable by AmeriCredit or a

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 or a Titled
Third-Party Lender 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.

payable thereunder under either the “simple interest” method, the “Rule of 78’s” method or the
“precomputed interest” method.
29. Lockbox Account. Each Obligor has been, or will be, directed to make all payments
on their related Receivable to the Lockbox Account.
