COVENANTS OF SELLER

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 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.
8
(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 Section 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

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 Cutoff 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 sold 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 Other Conveyed Property or any interest therein, and Seller shall defend

Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property against all claims of third parties
claiming through or under Seller.

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

and against any loss, liability or expense imposed upon, or incurred by,

and against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities
arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance
of Seller's trusts and duties as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim,

negligence (except for errors in judgment) of Purchaser.

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, 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
12
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 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 of the Seller or a certificate signed by or on behalf of the
Purchaser, as applicable, and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such
consolidation,
13
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.
(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.
14
(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 and the Insurer.
(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., 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 00000,

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.

covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions or terms of this
Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.9 Intention of the Parties. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by Seller and Purchaser that
they intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a
sale and assignment outright, and not for security, of the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
Liens, from Seller to Purchaser, and that the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property shall not be a part of Seller's estate in the event of the bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the
occurrence of another similar event, of, or
15
with respect to Seller. In the event that such conveyance is determined to be
made as security for a loan made by Purchaser, the Issuer, the Noteholders or
the Certificateholder to Seller, the Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a
security interest in all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or

applicable law (collectively, the "Purchase Agreement Collateral"):

Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Seller

or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement or Auto Loan Purchase and Sale
Agreement;

Financed Vehicles;

defined in the UCC) relating to the property described in (1) through (6);
and
(8) all proceeds and investments with respect to items (1)
through (7).
SECTION 6.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with, and this Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating
in any way to this Agreement shall be governed by, the law of the State of New
York, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions (other than

execution of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts

SECTION 6.12 Conveyance of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property to the Issuer. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser intends, pursuant to
the Sale and
16
Servicing Agreement, to convey the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property,
together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Issuer on the Closing
Date. 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.

12. Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" or
"electronic 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 (or with respect
to "electronic chattel paper", one authoritative copy) of each Contract. With
respect to Contracts
B-2
that are "electronic chattel paper", each authoritative copy (a) is unique,
identifiable and unalterable (other than with the participation of the Trust
Collateral Agent in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified
assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an authorized
or unauthorized revision), (b) has been marked with a legend to the following
effect: "Authoritative Copy" and (c) has been communicated to and is maintained
by or on behalf of the Custodian.
14. Not an Authoritative Copy. With respect to Contracts that are

all copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the
authoritative copy of each such Contract must be made with the participation of
the Trust Collateral Agent and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of
each such Contract must be readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized
revision.

each Receivable and such Receivable File contains a fully executed original of
the Contract and the original Lien Certificate or a copy of the application
therefor. Related documentation concerning the Receivable, including any
documentation regarding modifications of the Contract, will be maintained
electronically by the Servicer in accordance with customary policies and
procedures. 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. With respect to tangible chattel paper, the complete Receivable File
for each Receivable currently is in the possession of the Custodian.
18. 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 or the Servicer's electronic records.
19. 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.
20. 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
B-3
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.
21. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Receivable created or shall
create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in
favor of AmeriCredit (or an Originating Affiliate or a Titled Third-Party Lender
which first priority security interest has been assigned to 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 (or an Originating Affiliate 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 or the related Originating
Affiliate has applied for or received written evidence from the related Dealer
or Third-Party Lender that such Lien Certificate showing AmeriCredit, an
Originating Affiliate, the Issuer or a Titled Third-Party Lender, as applicable,
as first lienholder has been applied for and the Originating Affiliate's or
Titled Third-Party Lender's security interest has been validly assigned by the
Originating Affiliate or Titled Third-Party Lender, as applicable, 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 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 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.
22. 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

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, an
Originating Affiliate or a Titled Third-Party Lender and its successors and
assigns as additional insured parties, and each Receivable permits the holder
