The Notes are registered under the Registration Statement. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.
The Issuing Entity was formed, and the Certificate was issued, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 4.2, dated as of September 6, 2006, as amended and restated as of September 18, 2006 (the “Trust Agreement”), between AFS SenSub and Wilmington Trust Company (“WTC”), as Owner Trustee. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, attached hereto asExhibit 4.1, dated as of September 18, 2006 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent.

(the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement attached hereto asExhibit 1.1, dated as of September 14, 2006 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among AmeriCredit, AFS SenSub and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative of the Underwriters (the “Representative”).
The Notes evidence indebtedness of the Issuing Entity, the assets of which consist primarily of “sub-prime” automobile loan contracts (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles, light duty trucks and vans.

On the Closing Date, the Insurer issued the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy, attached hereto asExhibit 10.6 dated as of September 26, 2006 (the “Policy”), pursuant to which it unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payments of interest and certain payments of principal due on the notes during the term of the Policy. The Policy was issued pursuant to the terms of the Insurance Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 10.3, dated as of September 18, 2006 (the “Insurance Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and AmeriCredit Corp.

A spread account (“Spread Account”) was established on the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Insurer and the Noteholders, to hold a reserve of cash that is available to pay certain amounts that are payable by the Issuing Entity that otherwise would remain unpaid after application of collections on the Receivables. The Spread Account was established pursuant to the Spread Account Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 10.5, dated as of September 18, 2006 (the “Spread Account Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo, as the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.
Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 10.2, dated as of September 14, 2006 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), between the Insurer and the Representative, the Insurer agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and the Underwriters agreed to indemnify the Insurer, in each case with respect to certain disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement.
