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 June 18, 2009, as amended and restated as of June 30, 2009 (the “Trust Agreement”), between AFS SenSub and Wilmington Trust Company (“WTC”), as Owner Trustee.
