ARTICLE IV.
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 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
7
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 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
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.
(e) If at any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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,
8
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.

directors, successors, assigns, agents and servants jointly and severally
with the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Trust Agreement.
Indemnification under this Section 4.4 shall include reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall survive payment of

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
11
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 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
12
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 and the
Trust Collateral Agent, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or Noteholder.
(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
13
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.
(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

Note.

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 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.
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.
14
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,

Seller, the parties intend that Seller shall have granted to Purchaser a

(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.
(b) This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.

New

SECTION 6.11 COUNTERPARTS. For the purpose of facilitating the
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 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.

other similar official of the Purchaser or the Issuer or any substantial part of
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 shall be a third-party beneficiary to the provisions of
this
Purchase Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce
the provisions of this
Purchase Agreement so long as no Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

have been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the
sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced by each Receivable complied at the time
it was
originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all applicable
legal requirements.
4. ORIGINATION. Each Receivable was originated in the United States.
5. BINDING OBLIGATION. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal,
valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the
holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or 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 and (B) as such Receivable may be
modified by the application after the Cutoff Date of the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended; and all parties to each Receivable had
full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and all other
documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be
granted thereby.
6. NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGOR. No Obligor is the United States of America or
any State or any agency, department, subdivision or instrumentality thereof.
7. OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY. At the Cutoff Date no Obligor had been identified
on the records of AmeriCredit as being the subject of a current bankruptcy
proceeding.
8. SCHEDULES OF RECEIVABLES. The information set forth in the Schedules of
Receivables has been produced from the Electronic Ledger and was true and
correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the Cutoff Date.
9. MARKING RECORDS. By the Closing Date, AmeriCredit will have 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 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)
B-2
the original executed credit application, or a paper or electronic copy thereof
and (c) the original Lien Certificate or application therefor. 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 and original
certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, 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. 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.
B-3
19. ALL FILINGS MADE. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC
filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be taken or
performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give AFS SenSub Corp. 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.
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 or, in the case of certain Receivables
that have an aggregate Principal Balance of up to 2% of the initial principal
amount of the Notes, payment delinquencies of not more than 60 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 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. Except for certain Receivables that have an aggregate
Principal Balance of up to 2% of the initial principal amount of the Notes and
which may have been between 31 and 60 days past due, at the Cutoff Date no
Receivable was more than 30 days past due.
26. REMAINING PRINCIPAL BALANCE. At the Cutoff Date the Principal Balance
of each Receivable set forth in the Schedules of Receivables is true and
accurate in all material respect

than 72 months.
