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 Automobile Receivables Trust 2010-A (the “Issuing Entity”), to issue $36,000,000 Class A-1 0.31327% Asset Backed Notes, $71,000,000 Class A-2 1.46% Asset Backed Notes and $93,000,000 Class A-3 3.51% Asset Backed Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) and an Asset Backed Certificate (the “Certificate”), on March 31, 2010 (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 March 5, 2010, as amended and restated as of March 25, 2010 (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 March 25, 2010 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent. The Notes were sold to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBS Securities Inc. (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, dated as of March 26, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among AmeriCredit, AFS SenSub, and the Underwriters.

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 March 25, 2010 (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 March 25, 2010 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and Wells Fargo, 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 10.3, dated as of March 25, 2010 (the “Custodian Agreement”), among AmeriCredit, Assured Guaranty Corp. (the “Insurer”) and Wells Fargo. 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. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) has agreed to provide its banking services for the deposit of remittances related to the Receivables pursuant to the Lockbox Account Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.9, dated as of March 25, 2010 (the “Lockbox Account Agreement”), among Wells Fargo, as Trustee, AmeriCredit and JPMorgan Chase, as Processor. Regulus Group II LLC (“Regulus”) has agreed to collect and deposit remittances related to the Receivables into the lockbox account pursuant to the Lockbox Processing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10, dated March 25, 2010 (the “Lockbox Processing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo, as Trustee, AmeriCredit and Regulus.

As of March 1, 2010 (the “Statistical Calculation Date”), the Receivables had the characteristics described in the Prospectus Supplement dated March 26, 2010 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act on March 29, 2010. As of March 25, 2010 (the “Cutoff Date”), the Receivables had the characteristics set forth in Exhibit 99.1.

On the Closing Date, the Insurer issued the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 dated as of March 31, 2010 (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 and Indemnity Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, dated as of March 25, 2010 (the “Insurance Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and AmeriCredit Corp. 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 AmeriCredit Corp., AFS SenSub and AmeriCredit 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 March 25, 2010 (the “Premium Letter”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity, AFS SenSub, AmeriCredit and Wells Fargo, as Trust Collateral Agent.

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 March 25, 2010 (the “Spread Account Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo, as Trustee and Collateral Agent.

Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, dated as of March 26, 2010 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Insurer, AFS SenSub and the Underwriters, the Insurer agreed to indemnify AFS SenSub 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.
