Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

AFS SenSub Corp. (“AFS SenSub”), as depositor, and AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (“AmeriCredit”), as sponsor, have caused a newly formed issuing entity, AmeriCredit Prime Automobile Receivables Trust 2007-2-M (the “Issuing Entity”), to issue $183,000,000 Class A-1 5.2715% Asset Backed Notes, $85,000,000 Class A-2-A 5.34% Asset Backed Notes, $177,000,000 Class A-2-B Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, $270,000,000 Class A-3 5.22% Asset Backed Notes, $139,000,000 Class A-4-A 5.35% Asset Backed Notes and $146,000,000 Class A-4-B Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) and an Asset Backed Certificate (the “Certificate”), on October 18, 2007 (the “Closing Date”). 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 as Exhibit 4.2, dated as of October 3, 2007, as amended and restated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”), between AFS SenSub and Wilmington Trust Company (“WTC”), as Owner Trustee. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York (“BNY”), as Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent. The Notes were sold to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp. and UBS Securities LLC (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among AmeriCredit, AFS SenSub and J.P. Morgan 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. AFS SenSub purchased the Receivables from AmeriCredit pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between AmeriCredit and AFS SenSub. The Issuing Entity purchased the Receivables from AFS SenSub pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and BNY, as Backup Servicer and Trust Collateral Agent.

AmeriCredit, as Servicer, has agreed to perform servicing duties with regard to the Receivables pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and has also agreed to serve as custodian of the Receivables pursuant to the Custodian Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Custodian Agreement”), among AmeriCredit, MBIA Insurance Corporation (the “Insurer”) and BNY. AmeriCredit Financial Services of Canada Ltd. (“AFS of Canada”) will also service a portion of the Receivables on behalf of the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7, dated as of January 1, 2006, between AmeriCredit and AFS of Canada.

As of June 18, 2007 (the “Statistical Calculation Date”), the Receivables had the characteristics described in the Prospectus Supplement dated October 11, 2007 (the “Prospectus


Supplement”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act on October 16, 2007. As of October 11, 2007 ( the “Cutoff Date”), the Receivables had the characteristics set forth in Exhibit 99.1.

On the Closing Date, the Insurer issued the Note Guaranty Insurance Policy, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 dated as of October 18, 2007 (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 as Exhibit 10.3, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Insurance Agreement”), among the Insurer, BNY, as the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub and AmeriCredit. The Insurance Agreement specifies the conditions precedent to the issuance of the Policy, the premium payable in respect thereof and certain indemnification obligations of the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and the Indenture Trustee to the Insurer. The method of calculating the premium payments that are due to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement is set forth in the Premium Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, dated as of October 18, 2007, among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity, AmeriCredit and BNY, as Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent and Backup Servicer.

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 as Exhibit 10.5, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Spread Account Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity and BNY, as Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent and Collateral Agent.

Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, dated as of October 11, 2007 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Insurer, AmeriCredit and the Representative, the Insurer agreed to indemnify AmeriCredit and the Underwriters and the Underwriters agreed to indemnify the Insurer, in each case with respect to certain disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement. Pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, AmeriCredit and AFS SenSub agreed to indemnify the Insurer with respect to certain disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, AmeriCredit and the Underwriters agreed to indemnify each other with respect to certain disclosure in the Prospectus Supplement.

The Issuing Entity entered into a Hedge Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10, on the Closing Date with Wachovia Bank, National Association in order to hedge against the interest rate risk that results from the fixed rate Receivables producing the income stream that will support the variable rate Class A-2-B Notes and Class A-4-B Notes.
