FUNDINGS; THE NOTE

SECTION 2.1. Funding; The Note.

(a) Initial Funding. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, provided that the Termination Date shall not have occurred, the Company shall make an initial advance (the “Initial Funding”) to the Issuer on or after the Closing Date. In connection with the Initial Funding, the Issuer shall, by notice in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Initial Funding Request”) request such Funding at least one Business Day by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) prior to the proposed date of such Initial Funding. Such notice shall specify the amount of the proposed Funding (which shall be at least $1,000,000) and the proposed date of the Initial Funding.

(b) Subsequent Fundings. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, provided that the Termination Date shall not have occurred, the Company shall make a subsequent advance from time to time (each, a “Subsequent Funding”) to the Issuer on or after the Initial Funding Date. In connection with each Subsequent Funding, the Issuer shall provide the Agent with a written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a “Subsequent Funding Notice”) setting forth the amount of the proposed Subsequent Funding, which shall be at least $1,000,000 (or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Facility Limit is less than such amount, such amount). The Subsequent Funding Notice shall be provided to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the related Subsequent Funding Date. Subsequent Fundings shall not occur more than twice per month. The Agent will promptly notify the Company of the Agent’s receipt of any Subsequent Funding Notice to be made to the Agent on its behalf.

(c) By making any advance hereunder, neither the Company nor the Agent assumes or shall have any obligations or liability under any of the Receivables, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer, AmeriCredit and AWC.

(d) Conditions to Funding. The Company shall have no obligation to advance any funds to the Issuer in connection with any Funding if on the date of the proposed Funding, (i) the sum of the Net Investment after giving effect to the Funding, plus the Interest Component of Commercial Paper issued in connection with such Funding would exceed the Facility Limit or the Commitment; (ii) the Issuer is not in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Security Agreement; (iii) a Potential Rapid Amortization Event or Rapid Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing; (iv) the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Security Agreement shall not be satisfied; or (v) the representations and warranties in Section 3.1 hereof shall not be true and correct.

(e) Initial Funding Request and Subsequent Funding Notices Irrevocable. The Initial Funding Request and any Subsequent Funding Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Issuer and the Issuer shall indemnify the Agent and the Company against any loss or expense incurred by the Company, either directly or indirectly (including through the Liquidity Provider Agreement) as a result of any failure by the Issuer to complete the requested Funding including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by the Agent or the Company, either directly or indirectly (including pursuant to the Liquidity Provider Agreement), by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Company (or the Liquidity Provider) (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) for the Company to complete the requested Funding.

(f) Payments. By no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of any Funding, the Company shall remit the Transfer Price related to such Funding to the account of the Agent specified therefor from time to time by the Agent by notice to the Company. Promptly following each Funding, and in any event no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of such Funding, and the Agent’s receipt of funds from the Company as set forth above, the Agent shall remit such funds received in respect of the Transfer Price to the Issuer’s account at the location indicated in Section 6.3 hereof, in immediately available funds; provided, that if on any Funding Date (i) the Average Excess Spread (calculated without giving effect to the proviso set forth in the definition thereof) on such Subsequent Funding Date is less than zero and (ii)

immediately prior to giving effect to the related Funding, the amount on deposit in the Spread Account is less than the Required Spread Account Amount, then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the difference between (1) the Required Spread Account Amount minus (2) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account, in each case immediately prior to giving effect to the related Funding, and (B) the Transfer Price related to such Funding, will be deducted from the Transfer Price that is remitted to the Issuer’s account and will instead be transferred to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the Spread Account.

(g) The Note.

(i) The Issuer’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all amounts advanced by the Company pursuant to any Funding shall be evidenced by a single note of the Issuer (the “Note”) which shall (1) be dated the Closing Date; (2) be in the stated principal amount equal to the Facility Limit (as reflected from time to time on the grid attached thereto); (3) bear interest as provided therein; (4) be payable to the order of the Agent for the account of the Owners and mature on the Remittance Date occurring in the sixth calendar month following the calendar month in which the latest maturing Receivable (determined as of the Termination Date) is scheduled to mature (without regard to extensions subsequently granted on any Receivable by the Issuer or the Servicer); (5) be entitled to the benefit of the Security Agreement and (6) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on the schedule attached to the Note of the date and the amount of the Transfer Price paid to the Issuer in connection with each Funding and the date and amount of the payment of principal thereon, and prior to any transfer of the Note, the Agent shall endorse the outstanding principal amount of the Note on the schedule attached thereto; provided, however, that failure to make such notation shall not adversely affect the Company’s or any other Owner’s rights with respect to the Note.

(ii) Although the Note shall be dated the Closing Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during which amounts are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although the stated principal amount of the Note shall be equal to the Facility Limit, the Note shall be enforceable with respect to the Issuer’s obligation to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the Fundings outstanding thereunder at the time such enforcement shall be sought.

SECTION 2.2. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Owner (for purposes of this Section only, being a “Recipient”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of any interest in the Note owned by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of any interest in the Note obtained by such Owner entitled thereto, such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Company and/or the other Owners entitled to a share of such amount participations in the percentage interests owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person entitled thereto; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

SECTION 2.3. Right of Setoff. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, each of the Agent, the Company and each other Owner is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event or during the continuance of a Potential Rapid Amortization Event to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by the Agent, the Company or such Owner to, or for the account of, the Issuer against the Aggregate Unpaids owing by the Issuer to such Person (even if contingent or unmatured).

SECTION 2.4. Fees. The Issuer shall pay, in accordance with the Fee Letter, such fees as are described therein, all of which shall be non-refundable.

SECTION 2.5. Selection of Funding Periods and Interest Rates.

(a) Prior to the Termination Date. At all times hereafter, but prior to the Termination Date and with respect to the Transferred Interest held by the Agent on behalf of the Company, the Issuer may, subject to the Company’s approval and the limitations described below, request funding periods and allocate a portion of the Net Investment to each selected funding period, so that the aggregate amounts allocated to outstanding funding periods at all times shall equal the Net Investment held on behalf of the Company. The Issuer shall give the Company irrevocable notice by telephone of the requested funding period(s) at least one (1) Business Day prior by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) to the requested Funding Date or the expiration of any then existing funding period; provided, however, that the Company may select, in its sole discretion, any such funding period if (i) the Issuer fails to provide such notice on a timely basis or (ii) the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the funding period requested by the Issuer is unavailable or for any reason commercially undesirable to any party. The Company confirms that it is its intention to allocate all or substantially all of the Net Investment held on behalf of it to one or more funding periods with respect to which the interest rate applicable thereto is calculated by reference to the CP Rate; provided that the Company may determine, from time to time, in its sole discretion (whether as a result of a CP Disruption Event or otherwise), that funding such Net Investment by means of the issuance of Commercial Paper is not possible or is not desirable for any reason. If the Liquidity Provider acquires from the Company a Purchased Interest pursuant to the terms of the Liquidity Provider Agreement, Barclays, on behalf of the Liquidity Provider, may exercise the right of selection granted to the Company hereby. The initial funding period applicable to any such Purchased Interest shall be a period of not greater than 14 days and Discount with respect thereto shall be calculated by reference to the Base Rate. Thereafter, provided that the Termination Date caused by a Rapid Amortization Event shall not have occurred, Discount shall be calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate and, if such rate is not available, the Base Rate. In the case of any funding period outstanding upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, such funding period shall end on the date of such occurrence.

(b) After the Termination Date. At all times on and after the Termination Date, with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest which shall be held by the Agent on behalf of the Company, the Agent shall select all funding periods. At all times after the

Termination Date but prior to the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event, Discount shall be calculated by reference to the CP Rate; provided, that the Company may determine, from time to time, in its sole discretion (whether as a result of a CP Disruption Event or otherwise), that funding such Net Investment by means of the issuance of Commercial Paper is not possible or is not desirable for any reason. Upon such determination, Discount shall be calculated at the Eurodollar Rate. If the Liquidity Provider acquires from the Company a Purchased Interest pursuant to the terms of the Liquidity Provider Agreement, Barclays, on behalf of the Liquidity Provider, may exercise the right of selection granted to the Company hereby. The initial funding period applicable to any such Purchased Interest shall be a period of not greater than 14 days and Discount with respect thereto shall be calculated by reference to the Base Rate. Thereafter, provided that a Rapid Amortization Event shall not have occurred, Discount shall be calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate and, if such rate is not available, the Base Rate. After the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event, Discount in respect of any Transferred Interest held by the Company or any Purchased Interest held by a Liquidity Provider shall be determined as set forth in Section 6.2 of the Security Agreement.

(i) If the Agent is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the Eurodollar Rate for any proposed funding period, then

(1) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Company or the other Owners, as applicable and the Issuer that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined for such funding period, and

(2) while such circumstances exist, neither the Company, the other Owners nor the Agent shall allocate the Net Investment of any additional advances during such period or reallocate the Net Investment allocated to any then existing funding period ending during such period, to a funding period with respect to which Discount is calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate.

(ii) If, with respect to any outstanding funding period, the Company or any of the other Owners on behalf of which the Agent holds any Transferred Interest therein notifies the Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund any advance or to maintain such Transferred Interest or that the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Transferred Interest will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining its respective Transferred Interest for such funding period then the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Issuer, whereupon neither the Agent nor the Company or the other Owners, as applicable, shall, while such circumstances exist, allocate any Net Investment of any additional Transferred Interest purchased during such period or reallocate the Net Investment allocated to any funding period ending during such period, to a funding period with respect to which Discount is calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company or any of the other Owners, as applicable, shall notify the Agent that such Person has determined (or has been notified by any Liquidity Provider) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful (either for the Company, such

other Owner, or such Liquidity Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Company, such other Owner or such Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to fund any advance or to maintain the Transferred Interest the Discount with respect to which is calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then (x) as of the effective date of such notice from such Person to the Agent, the obligation or ability of the Company or such other Owner, as applicable, to fund its purchase or maintenance of the Transferred Interest at a Discount calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such Person notifies the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (y) the Net Investment of each funding period in which such Person owns an interest shall either (1) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain the Transferred Interest at a Discount calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate until the last day of the applicable funding period, be reallocated on the last day of such funding period to another funding period in respect of which the Net Investment allocated thereto accrues Discount determined other than with respect to the Eurodollar Rate or (2) if such Person shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain the Transferred Interest at a Discount calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate until the end of the applicable funding period, such Person’s share of the Net Investment allocated to such funding period shall be deemed to accrue Discount at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such funding period.

(2) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Net Investment, the Collateral, the maintenance or financing of the Note or any interest therein or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds under the Liquidity Provider Agreement, the Credit Support Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the Net Investment, the Collateral or the maintenance or financing of the Note; or

(3) imposes upon any Indemnified Party any other expense (including, without limitation, any loss of margin, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing) with respect to this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Net Investment, the Collateral, the maintenance or financing of the Note (or any interest therein) or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds under the Liquidity Provider Agreement or the Credit Support Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the Net Investment, the Collateral or the maintenance or financing of the Note; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Note, the Net Investment, the Collateral, the obligations hereunder, the funding of any purchases hereunder, the Liquidity Provider Agreement or the Credit Support Agreement, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then within 10 days after demand by the Agent, either the Issuer or AmeriCredit shall pay to the Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding capital adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent) as a consequence of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, within 10 days after demand by the Agent, either the Issuer or AmeriCredit shall pay to the Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction.

(c) The Agent or the Company will promptly notify the Issuer and AmeriCredit of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2. A notice by the Agent claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Agent may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

(d) Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables from one or more Other Transferors, the Company shall allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 4.2 (“Section 4.2 Costs”) ratably to the Issuer and AmeriCredit and each Other Transferor; provided, however, that if such Section 4.2 Costs are attributable to the Issuer and not attributable to any Other Transferor, the Issuer and AmeriCredit shall be liable for the full amount of such Section 4.2 Costs or if such Section 4.2 Costs are attributable to Other Transferors and not attributable to the Issuer, such Other Transferors shall be solely liable for such Section 4.2 Costs.

SECTION 4.3. Other Costs, Expenses and Related Matters.

(a) Each of the Issuer and AmeriCredit agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to save the Company, the other Owners, the Collateral Agent and the Agent harmless against liability for the payment of, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of the Company or any other Owners) incurred by or on behalf of the Company, any other Owners, the Collateral Agent or the Agent (i) in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and preparation of this Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement and any other Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (ii) from time to time (a) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and any other Transaction Document, (b) arising in connection with the Agent’s, the Company’s, any other Owner’s or any of their agent’s enforcement or preservation of rights

(including, without limitation, the perfection and protection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral), or (c) arising in connection with any audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (all of such amounts, collectively, “Transaction Costs”).

(b) Either the Issuer or AmeriCredit shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Company or the other Owners, as applicable, on demand any Early Collection Fee due on account of the Company’s investment allocated to a funding period on a day prior to the last day of its funding period.

SECTION 4.4. Taxes. All payments made hereunder by the Issuer and AmeriCredit (each a “payor”) to the Company, the Agent or any Liquidity Provider (each, a “recipient”) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any assignee of such parties) (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”), but excluding (i) franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income or gross receipts and (ii) any tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure of such recipient to provide and keep current any certification or other documentation required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, such Taxes (all such excluded taxes, “Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then such payor shall:

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c) pay to the recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the recipient will equal the full amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment received by such recipient hereunder, the recipient may pay such Taxes and the payor will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by the recipient after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such recipient would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

If the payor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the payor shall indemnify the recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any recipient as a result of any such failure.

ARTICLE V

THE AGENT

SECTION 5.1. Authorization and Action. The Company and each other Owner hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 5.5 and the first sentence of Section 5.6 hereof shall include its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents): (a) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for the Company or any other Owner; (b) shall not be responsible to the Company or any other Owner for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Transaction Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC or the Servicer or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; (c) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC or the Servicer or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC or the Servicer or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates; (d) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under any Transaction Document; and (e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Transaction Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 5.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC or the Servicer), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Owners, and such instructions shall be binding on the Company and all of the other Owners; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Owners against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

SECTION 5.3. Rapid Amortization Event or Potential Rapid Amortization Event. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Rapid Amortization Event or a Rapid Amortization Event unless the Agent has received written notice from the Company, any other Owner or the Issuer specifying such Potential Rapid Amortization Event or Rapid Amortization Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Rapid Amortization Event or Potential Rapid Amortization Event”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Rapid Amortization Event or Rapid Amortization Event, the Agent

shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company and the other Owners. The Agent shall (subject to Section 5.2 hereof) take such action with respect to such Potential Rapid Amortization Event or Rapid Amortization Event as shall reasonably be directed by the Majority Owners, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Rapid Amortization Event or Rapid Amortization Event as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Company.

SECTION 5.4. Agent and Affiliates. To the extent that the Agent or any of its affiliates shall become an Owner, the Agent or such affiliate, in such capacity, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Owner and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent or such affiliate (as the case may be). Barclays (and any successor acting as Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to the Company or any other Owner) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC and the Servicer or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were not acting as Agent, and Barclays (and any successor acting as Agent or such affiliate) and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC and the Servicer or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Company or any other Owner.

SECTION 5.5. Indemnification of the Agent. Each Owner (other than the Company) agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Issuer), ratably in accordance with its share of the outstanding principal balance of the Note, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (including by the Company or any other Owner) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, provided that no Owner shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Owner (including the Company but only to the extent that the Company is reimbursed by the Issuer for such expenses) agrees to reimburse the Agent, ratably in accordance with its share of the outstanding principal balance of the Note, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Owners hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Issuer. The agreements contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of the Net Investment and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.6. Non-Reliance. Each Owner agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or the Company or any other Owner, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Receivables, the Contracts, the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC and the Servicer and their respective Subsidiaries and

decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Company or any other Owner, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Transaction Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Company and the other Owners by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Company or any other Owner with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any of the Issuer, AmeriCredit, AWC or the Servicer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates.

SECTION 5.7. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company, the other Owners and the Issuer. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Owners shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Owners and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Company and the other Owners, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article V shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

SECTION 5.8. Payments by the Agent. Unless specifically allocated to an Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Agent on behalf of the Owners shall be paid by the Agent to the Owners (at their respective accounts designated in writing to the Agent) in accordance with their respective related pro rata interests in the Net Investment on the Business Day received by the Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the Owners on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to the Owners in accordance with their respective related pro rata interests in the Net Investment not later than the following Business Day.

SECTION 6.2. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Company, the Agent or any other Owners 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 further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Company and the Majority Owners (and, if Article V or the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Owner directly affected thereby, (i) increase the Commitment of the Company, (ii) reduce the Net Investment or rate of interest to accrue thereon or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (iii) postpone any date fixed for the payment of any scheduled distribution in respect of the Net Investment or interest with respect thereto or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or for termination of the Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Owners which shall be required for the Owners or any of them to take any action under this section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) release all or substantially all of the property with respect to which a security or ownership interest therein has been granted hereunder or under the Security Agreement to the Agent or the Owners or (vi) extend or permit the extension of the Commitment Termination Date. In the event the Agent requests the Company’s or any other Owner’s consent pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Company or such Owner within 10 Business Days of the Company’s or any other Owner’s receipt of such request, then the Company or such Owner (and its percentage interest hereunder) shall be disregarded in determining whether the Agent shall have obtained sufficient consent hereunder.

SECTION 6.3. Notices. Except as provided below, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other party at its address or telecopy number set forth below or at such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purposes of notice to such party. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in this Section 6.3 and confirmation is received, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days following such posting, if postage prepaid, or if sent via U.S. certified or registered mail, (iii) if given by overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit thereof with a national overnight courier service, or (iv) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 6.3. However, anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Company to effect Subsequent Fundings, funding period and interest rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person which the Company in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to deliver promptly to the Company a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Issuer. However, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Company, the records of the Company shall govern absent manifest error.

SECTION 6.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

SECTION 6.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the Agent, the Owners, the Issuer and AmeriCredit, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither AmeriCredit nor the Issuer may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the Agent except as may be otherwise expressly provided in the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except that AmeriCredit may delegate its duties under any Transaction Document with respect to the servicing of and collections on certain Receivables to AmeriCredit Financial Services of Canada Ltd. without first obtaining such consent (which delegation by AmeriCredit of any of its duties under any Transaction Document shall not relieve AmeriCredit of its responsibility with respect to such duties).

Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Agent or administrative agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Agent or such administrative agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment may be made pursuant to this clause (b) without the prior consent of AmeriCredit, which consent may only be withheld by AmeriCredit for a commercially reasonable purpose.

(c) The Issuer hereby agrees and consents to the assignment by the Company from time to time of all or any part of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Note to any Approved Liquidity Provider.
