                   January 15, 2001 through July 13, 2001


     THIS STOCK SELLING PLAN (the "Plan") is executed by Clifton H. Morris, Jr.
                                   ----

owned by Executive (the "Owned Shares" and, together with the shares to be
acquired by Executive upon exercise of the Options, the "Plan Shares").

     B. Executive has engaged Paine Webber ("Broker") to effect sales of the

good faith. Further, Executive acknowledges that he is subject to AmeriCredit's
insider trading policy (XIV-316), as supplemented and amended from time to time

                Broker to the extent the shares acquired therefrom will be sold
                pursuant to this Plan; and, provided, further, to the extent
                that all or some portion of the July Options remain unexercised
                and the Plan Shares underlying such July Options remain unsold
                by Broker on July 1, 2001, then in such event the remaining,
                unexercised portion of the July Options shall be exercised in
                full and the Plan Shares underlying such July Options sold by
                Broker during the period from July 1, 2001 through July 13, 2001
                at such times (within such period), in such amounts and at such
                per share price as will maximize the aggregate proceeds to
                Executive from such transactions

        (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Plan
        Shares to be sold by Broker pursuant to Section 1(a) above shall be
        sold in the following order of priority:  first, the shares acquired
        upon exercise of the April Options; second, the shares acquired upon
        exercise of the July Options; and third, the Owned Shares.

        (c) All sales of Plan Shares and exercises of the Options to the extent
            necessary to acquire such Plan Shares will be placed through or
            effected by Broker. The timing (within each sales period specified
            above) and execution of all sales will be made at the sole
            discretion of Broker to maximize the value to the Executive,
            provided that in all cases the specified number of Plan Shares must
            be sold during each sales period specified above in section 1(a).
            The Executive will provide no other instruction or guidance to
            Broker with respect to any sales. Broker will be provided with a
            copy of this Plan. The Executive will obtain from Broker an
            acknowledgement of the receipt of this Plan and an agreement that
            Broker will cease sales (but not exercises of the Options, to the
            extent necessary to cause the Options to be exercised in full before
            the respective expirations thereof as provided above in section
            1(a)) under this Plan at such time as Broker may become in
            possession of material non-public information regarding AmeriCredit
            (as that phrase is used in 17 C.F.R.(S)240.10b-5). The number of
            Plan Shares sold under this Plan will be appropriately adjusted from
            time to time to reflect any stock split, stock dividend,
            reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or similar event
            with respect to AmeriCredit common stock.
<PAGE>

        (d) Notwithstanding the sales provisions of this Plan, the Executive
            will cease all sales under this Plan (but not Option exercises, to
            the extent necessary to cause the Option to be exercised in full
            before the respective expirations thereof, as provided above in
            section 1(a)), and will instruct Broker to cease all sales, promptly
            upon notice from the Secretary of AmeriCredit that the independent
            directors of the AmeriCredit Board of Directors have determined that
            sales under this Plan must be suspended for the period determined by
            those directors. In this regard, the Executive acknowledges that it
            may be necessary or appropriate for AmeriCredit to instruct
            Executive to suspend sales under this Plan in connection with
            certain events, including without limitation public or private
            offerings of securities, mergers or acquisitions, tender offers or
            similar events.

        (e) Broker will conduct all sales in accordance with the requirements of
            Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, including, but not
            limited to, the completion and filing by Broker of appropriate Form
            144s. Broker will be instructed by Executive to provide AmeriCredit
            any information requested by AmeriCredit in connection with
            AmeriCredit's efforts to determine compliance with the terms of this
            Plan by Executive and Broker. Executive will be responsible for all
            filings required under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act
            of 1934 (i.e., Form 4 filings). It is the intent of the Executive
            that this Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under
            the Exchange Act and this Plan shall be interpreted to comply with
            the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

        (f) Notwithstanding this Plan, Executive may sell or purchase shares of
            AmeriCredit common stock (other than Plan Shares) pursuant to the
            Policy and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, and such
            sales or purchases shall not be subject to this Plan.

     3. Term. This Plan shall become effective on the date executed by the
        ----
Executive and shall terminate on the earliest to occur of: (i) July 15, 2001,
(ii) the date on which a total of 700,000 shares of AmeriCredit common stock
have been sold in accordance with the terms of this Plan, and (iii) the death of
the Executive; provided, however, that Executive may terminate this Plan at any
time upon written notice delivered to Broker with a copy to the Secretary of
AmeriCredit.

     4. Covenants. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will not exert
        ---------
any influence over how, when or whether to effect sales of Plan Shares
subsequent to the effective date of this Plan and during the time period the
Plan remains in effect.

     5. Filing of Plan. The Executive agrees to file a copy of this Plan with
        --------------
 the Secretary of AmeriCredit. Executive further acknowledges and agrees
that a copy of this Plan may be filed by AmeriCredit with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and disclosed in reports filed by AmeriCredit with
