PURCHASE 
 SECTION 2.1
Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Closing Date. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Santander Consumer does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, contribute and otherwise convey to the Purchaser
without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of Santander Consumer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the Collections after the Cut-Off Date, the
Receivable Files and the Related Security relating thereto, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, as evidenced by an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Purchased
Assets”). The sale, transfer, assignment, contribution and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers,
insurers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 

SECTION 2.2 Consideration and Payment. The purchase price for the sale of the Purchased Assets sold to the Purchaser on the Closing

Purchaser, shall be paid by a capital contribution by Santander Consumer of an undivided interest in such Purchased Assets that increases its equity interest in the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess of the estimated fair market value of the
Purchased Assets over the amount of cash paid by the Purchaser to Santander Consumer. 
 ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Santander Consumer. Santander Consumer makes the following representations and warranties
as of the Closing Date, on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties will survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the
conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Grant thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 

(a) Existence and Power. Santander Consumer is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party. Santander Consumer has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of Santander Consumer to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets. 

  

					
		  	-2-	  	Purchase Agreement (SDART 2020-4)













 (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
Santander Consumer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Santander Consumer and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law,
rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement to which Santander Consumer is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules,
regulations, organizational documents, indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the
transactions contemplated by, or Santander Consumer’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents). 
 (c) No
Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Santander Consumer of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC
filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse
effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of Santander Consumer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which Santander Consumer is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Santander Consumer enforceable against Santander Consumer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Santander Consumer, threatened
against Santander Consumer before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by Santander Consumer of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relate to Santander Consumer that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes
of the Notes. 
 (f) Lien Filings. Santander Consumer is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against
Santander Consumer.

 SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of Santander Consumer Regarding the Purchased
Assets. On the date hereof, Santander Consumer hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser, on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. Such representations and
warranties will survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the Purchased Assets and other
collateral by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 
 (a) The Receivables were selected using selection procedures
that were not known or intended by Santander Consumer to be adverse to the Issuer. 
 (b) The Receivables and the other Purchased Assets have
been validly assigned by Santander Consumer to the Purchaser. 
 (c) The information with respect to the Receivables transferred on the
Closing Date as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables was true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date. 

(d) No Receivables are pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a security interest or otherwise conveyed other than pursuant to the Transaction
Documents. Santander Consumer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against Santander Consumer that includes a description of collateral covering any Receivable other than any financing statement relating to
security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Receivables hereunder, will be terminated, amended or released. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in the
Receivables (other than the Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) in favor of the Purchaser which security interest is prior to all other
Liens created by Santander Consumer (other than Permitted Liens) with respect to the Receivables and is enforceable as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from Santander Consumer. 

(e) The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Assets, which are
attached to this Agreement as Schedule I, are true and correct. 
 SECTION 3.3 Representations and Warranties of Santander
Consumer as to each Receivable. On the date hereof, Santander Consumer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule II to the Purchaser as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, contributed and otherwise
conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties shall survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the Purchased Assets by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement
to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, Santander Consumer shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to


  

					
		  	-4-	  	Purchase Agreement (SDART 2020-4)













 
notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Santander Consumer hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all
rights under this Agreement assigned to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right to cause Santander Consumer to repurchase any Receivable with respect to which it is in breach of any of its representations and
warranties set forth in Schedule II, directly against Santander Consumer as though the Issuer were a party to this Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Depositor. 

SECTION 3.4 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to a Responsible Officer of the Purchaser or Santander Consumer of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 with respect to any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which
identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by Santander Consumer and the Purchaser of such breach; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee will be deemed to
have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Santander Consumer hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then Santander Consumer shall either
(a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Purchaser (or its assignee), in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if Santander
Consumer elects, an earlier date) after the date Santander Consumer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure has not affected the
ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by Santander Consumer shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase,
Santander Consumer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee) equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time, on such date of repurchase
(or, if Santander Consumer elects, an earlier date). Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by Santander Consumer, the Purchaser (or its assignee) shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by Santander Consumer to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in Santander Consumer or its designee any Receivable and related Purchased
Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.4. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Santander Consumer to repurchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the Purchaser (or its assignee). 
 SECTION 3.5 Protection of Title. 

(a) Santander Consumer shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other
financing statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the Purchased Assets (to the extent that the interest of the
Purchaser therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). Santander Consumer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing. 

  

					
		  	-5-	  	Purchase Agreement (SDART 2020-4)













 (b) Santander Consumer shall notify the Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days
following the occurrence of (i) any change in Santander Consumer’s organizational structure as a corporation, (ii) any change in Santander Consumer’s “location” (within the meaning of
Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in Santander Consumer’s name, and (A) shall take all action prior to making such change (or shall have made
arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not practicable to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed financing
statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above and (B) shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after such change an Opinion of Counsel either (a) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all
financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (b) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 
 (c) Santander Consumer shall maintain (or shall cause the
Servicer to maintain) its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the
interest of the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such Person. Indication of such Person’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such
computer systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased. 
 (d) If at any time Santander
Consumer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Santander Consumer shall give to such prospective purchaser,
lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is
owned by the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser). 
 SECTION 3.6 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the
conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Santander Consumer shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and Santander Consumer shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other
property transferred to the Purchaser against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Santander Consumer.

 ARTICLE IV 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 4.1
Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. 
 (a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers
contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales, transfers, assignments, contributions and conveyances without recourse rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such
for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchased Assets shall not be part of Santander Consumer’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Santander Consumer. The sales and transfers by
Santander Consumer of the Receivables and other Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, Santander Consumer, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited
rights of recourse specified herein against Santander Consumer are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectability of the Receivables. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Purchased Assets are held to be property of Santander Consumer,
or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, then it is intended that: 

(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and
the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; 
 (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1
shall be deemed to be a grant by Santander Consumer of, and Santander Consumer hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of Santander Consumer hereunder; 

(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property that constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and 
 (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property,
and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

 SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on
Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder
shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive
such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time and manner prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 
 SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 

SECTION 4.4 Headings. The article and section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be construed to
affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.5 Counterparts and Electronic Signature. This Agreement
shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, in each case to the extent applicable; (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or
photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise
verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute only one instrument. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any notice provided for in this Agreement or any instrument required or permitted to be delivered hereunder, any party hereto receiving or relying upon such notice or instrument shall be entitled to request execution
thereof by original manual signature as a condition to the effectiveness thereof.

 SECTION 4.6 Amendment. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by Santander Consumer and the Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions: 

(i) Santander Consumer or the Purchaser delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such
amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 
 (ii) the Rating Agency Condition
is satisfied with respect to such amendment and Santander Consumer or the Purchaser notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment; 

provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or duties of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person. 
 (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
Santander Consumer and the Purchaser, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders
will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Depository Agreement. 

(c) Any term or provision of this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Santander Consumer and the Purchaser for the purpose of
conforming the terms of this Agreement to the description thereof in the Prospectus or, to the extent not contrary to the Prospectus, to the description thereof in an offering memorandum with respect to the 144A Notes or the Certificates without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person, provided, however, that Santander Consumer and the Purchaser shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and promptly after the execution of such amendment, Santander Consumer and the Purchaser shall furnish a copy of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee. 

(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this Section 4.6, Santander Consumer shall provide written notification
of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, Santander Consumer shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee. 

  

					
		  	-9-	  	Purchase Agreement (SDART 2020-4)













 (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery
of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own
rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 4.6, this Agreement may only be amended by the Seller and the Purchaser if (i) the Majority Certificateholders, or, if 100% of the aggregate Percentage Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander Consumer
and/or its Affiliates, such Person (or Persons) consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or the Purchaser or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. In determining whether 100% of the aggregate Percentage Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander Consumer and/or its Affiliates for purposes of
clause (i), any party shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate or similar certification of Santander Consumer or any Affiliate thereof to such effect. 

SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the Servicer, Santander Consumer, the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser or Santander Consumer in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by either party
under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to
be granted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Santander Consumer shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations or the taking of any action
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (and such failure or delay shall not constitute a breach of any Transaction Document) if such failure or delay arises from compliance by Santander Consumer with any law or court order, the direction
of a regulatory authority or regulatory guidance. 
 SECTION 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral
