Managements Report on Assessment of Compliance with SEC Regulation AB

Servicing Criteria



|1. | Santander Consumer USA Inc. (the Asserting Party) is responsible for Assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the Reporting Period). The transactions covered by this report include the Asserting Partys publicly offered registered SDART transactions consisting of auto loans (the
Platform). See Appendix A.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | The Asserting Party used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (See Appendix B) to assess the compliance with the applicable servicing criteria except for the following criteria
which the Asserting Party determined are not applicable to the activities performed by the Asserting Party with respect to the Platform: 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii),
and 1122(d)(4)(xiii).

|3. | There were no external enhancements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | With respect to servicing criterion, Item 1122(d)(1)(iii), some of the transactions included in the FY15 Regulation AB Platform require the Company to utilize a backup servicer when certain events, which are
specified within the transaction agreements, occur. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the events that would require a backup servicer as listed in the transaction documents did not occur, and therefore the requirement for a backup
servicer does not apply.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | With respect to servicing criterion Item 1122(d)(2)(i), we have engaged various vendors to serve as repositories for customer payments (i.e., a lockbox bank and a third-party money wire transfer provider).
Similarly, with respect to Item 1122(d)(4)(i), we have also outsourced maintenance and safeguarding of the titling and registering of the vehicles through online services made available by the motor vehicle administrations in various states to
DealerTrack Collateral Management Services, a third party vendor that did not provide an Item 1122 (d) attestation report. We have determined that none of these vendors are a servicer as defined in Item 1101 (j) of
Regulation AB, and we elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each such vendor as permitted by the SECs Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 200.06, Vendors Engaged by
Servicers (C&DI 200.06),formerly SEC Manual Telephone Interpretation 17.06. We have policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that each vendors activities comply in all material respects with the
servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The Asserting Party has taken responsibility for assessing compliance with regards to C&DI 200.06 with the portion of the servicing criterion performed by those vendors. We are solely responsible for
determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendors and related criteria.

|6. | The Asserting Party has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | The Asserting Party has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of non-compliance by the vendors with regard to the applicable servicing criteria, or performance of certain functions with regard to the
servicing criteria, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|8. | The Asserting Party has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the vendors with the applicable servicing criteria, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2015 with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9. | Deloitte & Touche LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Asserting Partys assessment of compliance with all the applicable servicing criteria as of
December 31, 2015 and for the Reporting Period.
