other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be

 Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.2
Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. 

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 

The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for

		  	3	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such
certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order,
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations
not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes. 

SECTION 2.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and

(d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact

Section 9.6 not involving any transfer. 
 (f) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,

documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note

Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated
by Article 8 of the UCC), and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days
shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may upon delivery of the security or indemnity herein required pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or
upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated
by Article 8 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment)

Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected
therewith.

remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

amount, shall be issued with respect to each Class of Notes. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner shall receive a
Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued
to the applicable Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12: 
 (a) the provisions of this
Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect; 
 (b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Noteholders, and shall have no
obligation to the Note Owners;

		  	8	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions
or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balance, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing
Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture,
unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners. 
 SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (a) the Administrator
advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (b) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Note Balance, voting together as a single Class, advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency or its successor in writing that the continuation of a book entry
system through the Clearing Agency or its successor is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. 

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without
steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

2.13 Authenticating Agents. 
 (a) Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so
chooses, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Persons (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and
exchanges under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to
authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture
Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the Authenticating Agent in the absence of any appointment thereof.

 (b) Any entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor entity. 

(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, the Indenture
Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of any such appointment to the Issuer. 
 (d) The
provisions of Section 6.4 and, for so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Authenticating Agent, all other rights, benefits and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall be applicable to any
Authenticating Agent. 
 SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. 

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual intent that the Notes constitute and be treated as indebtedness for U.S.
federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes (other than any Notes that are owned during any period of time either by the Issuer or by a Person that is considered to be the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal
income tax purposes). Further, each party hereto, and each Noteholder by accepting and holding a Note (other than a Noteholder that is the Issuer or a Person that is considered to be the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax
purposes), hereby covenants to every other party hereto and to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and returns
and otherwise, and further covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take, or participate in the taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with such tax treatment and tax reporting of the Notes, unless required
by applicable law. All successors and assignees of the parties hereto shall be bound by the provisions hereof. 
 (b) The parties hereto
agree that it is their mutual intent that, for all applicable purposes the Certificates will not constitute indebtedness. 
 (c) Prior to the
first Payment Date, at any time required by law and/or promptly upon request, each Noteholder shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and/or the Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) with its Tax Information.
Each Noteholder is deemed to understand that by acceptance of a Note, such Noteholder agrees to supply the foregoing information. Further, each Noteholder is deemed to understand that the Issuer, Indenture Trustee and Paying Agent have the right to
withhold as required on amounts payable

with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with both of the
preceding sentences. If the Issuer has actual knowledge that FATCA Withholding applies with respect to one or more payments on a Note, the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee thereof. 

SECTION 2.15 Certain Transfer Restrictions on all Classes of the Notes. 

(a) By acquiring a Note (or any interest therein), each purchaser and transferee (and, if applicable, its fiduciary) (i) shall be deemed
to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of, or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or Plan that is subject to Similar Law or (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of
such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law and
(ii) acknowledges and agrees if it is a Benefit Plan or a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, it shall not acquire such Note (or any interest therein) at any time that the ratings on such Note are below investment grade or if such Note has
been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes. 
 (b) If for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to
track any Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Depositor or the Administrator as a condition to such transfer. 

(c) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.15 or not in accordance with Sections
2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder. The Issuer may sell, or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell on its behalf, any Notes acquired in violation of the
foregoing at the cost and risk of the purported transferee. If the transferee fails to transfer such Note or such beneficial interests in such Note within thirty (30) days after notice of the voided transfer, then the Issuer shall cause such
Noteholder’s interest or Note Owner’s interest in such Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale arranged by the Issuer (conducted by the Issuer or an agent of the Issuer in accordance with
Section 9-610(b) of the UCC as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value). 

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
imposed under this Indenture (including, without limitation, under this Section 2.15 or under Sections 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18) or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 6226(a)(2) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (C) to the extent applicable, each Noteholder of a Restricted Note and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Restricted Note, shall hold the Issuer and
its affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Restricted Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any
corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) that the Issuer or its affiliates may suffer that are attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law)

hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands. 
 SECTION 3.3 Money for
Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 5.4 and 8.2, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Trust Accounts shall be made

Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 By noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to each
Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account Available Funds with respect to the related Collection Period, and the Paying Agent shall hold such sum in trust for the benefit of the

 The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees to the extent relevant), subject to the provisions of this
Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the
Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as provided in the Transaction Documents; 

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee written notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it
has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; 

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the
payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; 

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon, including FATCA Withholding (including obtaining and retaining from Persons entitled to payments with respect to the Notes any Tax Information, making any withholdings as required under the Code and
paying over such withheld amounts to the appropriate governmental authority); and 
 (vi) comply with any applicable
reporting requirements in connection with any payments made by it on any Notes and any withholding of taxes therefrom, and, upon request, provide any Tax Information to the Issuer. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wilmington Trust, National Association is acting as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall
also act as the Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by such Paying Agent; and upon such a payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and distributed by the Indenture Trustee to the Issuer upon receipt of an
Issuer Request and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall
thereupon cease; provided,

the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the written direction of and at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment
to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the
last address of record for each such Noteholder).

and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer
shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

Noteholders, a first Lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral (except to the extent that the interest of the Indenture Trustee therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Issuer shall
from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and shall file or shall authorize the filing of all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as
prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:

counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective. 
 (b) Within 120 days after the beginning of each
calendar year, beginning with April 30, 2022, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are

termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents or such other
instrument or agreement. 
 (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and

OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES 
 SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body) shall constitute a default under this Indenture (each, an “Event of Default”): 
 (a) a default in the
payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days or more; 

(b) a default in the payment of principal of any Note on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date; 

  

					
		  	26	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (c) any failure by the Issuer to duly observe or perform in any respect any of its covenants
or agreements made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the
Noteholders, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure; provided that such failure is capable of remedy within 90
days) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, voting together as a single Class, a written
notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 

(d) any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture proves to have been incorrect in any respect when made, which failure
materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders, and which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure; provided that
such failure is capable of remedy within 90 days) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes,
voting together as a single Class, a written notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(e) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer; 

provided, however, that (A) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (a) above shall have been caused by
force majeure or other similar occurrence, the five Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (a) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days, (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause
(b) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, such failure or delay shall not constitute an Event of Default for an additional 60 calendar days, (C) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in
clause (c) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (c) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days and (D) if any delay or
failure of performance referred to in clause (d) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (d) shall be extended for an additional 60
calendar days. 
 SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity. 

(a) Except as set forth in the following sentence, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee may, or if directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to
the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all Notes, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder. 

  

					
		  	27	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before
a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided for in this Article V, the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the
Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving
rise to such acceleration had not occurred and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12. 
 No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 If the Notes have been declared due and payable or have automatically become
due and payable following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may institute Proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Collateral) or elect to maintain the Collateral. Any
sale of the Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4. 

SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee. 

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the
same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the
Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee in writing as directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest,
at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee
and its agents and counsel. 
 (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay the amounts described in clause (a) above upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. 

  

					
		  	28	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may,
as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most
effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable
right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable
Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such Proceedings or otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and
each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as
a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings; 
 (ii) unless
prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings; 

(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all
amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and 
 (iv) to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its
property; 

  

					
		  	29	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses, indemnities and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7. 

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such
Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 
 (f) All rights of action and of
asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such
Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each
predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders, to the extent set forth in Section 5.4(b). 

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this
Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings. 

SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to
Sections 5.2 and 5.5): 
 (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies
adjudged due; 
 (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with
respect to the Collateral; 
 (iii) exercise any other remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other
appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and 

  

					
		  	30	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (iv) subject to Section 5.17,
after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2, sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law; 
 provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy described in clause
(iv) above unless (A) the Holders of all Outstanding Notes have consented to such liquidation, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding
Notes or (C) the Event of Default either (x) relates to a default described in Sections 5.1(a) or (b) (a “Payment Default”) and the Indenture Trustee determines (but shall have no obligation to make such
determination) that the Collections on the Receivables will not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable or (y) relates to a Bankruptcy
Event and, in the case of each of (x) and (y) above, the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. In determining
such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C)(x) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm
of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Event of Default does not relate to a Payment Default or
Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes consent to such sale or the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the
principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2
hereof or Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V and the Notes have been accelerated, it shall pay out such money or
property (and other amounts, including all amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account) held as Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders (net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate) in the following order of
priority: 
 (i) first, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid fees, reasonable
expenses and indemnification amounts (including any such fees, expenses and indemnification amounts with respect to prior periods), and to the Asset Representations Reviewer, any accrued and unpaid fees (including unpaid fees with respect to prior
periods), reasonable expenses and indemnification amounts, in each case, to the extent not previously paid by Santander Consumer; 

(ii) second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior periods; 

(iii) third, to the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Accrued Class A Note Interest; provided that if
there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Class A Note Interest, the amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Class A Notes on a pro rata basis based on
the amount of interest payable to each Class of Class A Notes; 

  

					
		  	31	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (iv) fourth, (a) if an acceleration of the Notes has
occurred following or as a result of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a), (b) or (e), in the following order of priority: 

(1) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal thereof, until
the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full; 
 (2) to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes and the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes in respect of principal thereof, pro rata, based on the Note Balance of each Class of such Class A
Notes until each such Class of the Class A Notes has been paid in full; 
 (3) to the Holders of the Class B
Notes, the Accrued Class B Note Interest; 
 (4) to the Holders of the Class B Notes in respect of principal
thereof until the Class B Notes have been paid in full; 
 (5) to the Holders of the Class C Notes, the Accrued
Class C Note Interest; 
 (6) to the Holders of the Class C Notes in respect of principal thereof, until the
Class C Notes have been paid in full; 
 (7) to the Holders of the Class D Notes, the Accrued Class D Note
Interest; and 
 (8) to the Holders of the Class D Notes in respect of principal thereof until the Class D Notes
have been paid in full; and 
 (b) if an acceleration of the Notes has occurred following or as a result of an Event
of Default described in Section 5.1(c) or (d), in the following order of priority: 
 (1) to
the Holders of the Class B Notes, the Accrued Class B Note Interest; 
 (2) to the Holders of the Class C
Notes, the Accrued Class C Note Interest; 
 (3) to the Holders of the Class D Notes, the Accrued Class D Note
Interest; 
 (4) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal
thereof until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full; 
 (5) to the Holders
of the Class A-2 Notes and the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes in respect of principal thereof, pro rata, based on the Note Balance of each Class of such
Class A Notes, until each such Class of the Class A Notes has been paid in full; 

  

					
		  	32	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (6) to the Holders of the Class B Notes in respect of principal thereof
until the Class B Notes have been paid in full; 
 (7) to the Holders of the Class C Notes in respect of principal
thereof until the Class C Notes have been paid in full; and 
 (8) to the Holders of the Class D Notes in respect
of principal thereof until the Class D Notes have been paid in full; and 
 (v) fifth, any remaining funds shall
be distributed to the Certificateholders, pro rata based on the Percentage Interest of each Certificateholder, or to the extent Definitive Certificates have been issued, to the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to or at the direction
of the Certificateholders. 
 The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this
Section 5.4. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 

Prior to an acceleration of the Notes after an Event of Default, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article V, such amounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and distributed in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 hereof. 

SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared or are automatically due and payable under
Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, if permitted hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the
Collateral and shall continue to apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 5.4(b). It is the intent of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such intent into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such
purpose. 
 SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. 

(a) No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (i) such Holder has previously given
written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 

  

					
		  	33	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling
Class have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture Trustee hereunder; 

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request; 
 (iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and 
 (v) no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. 

No Noteholder or group of Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except, in each case, to the extent and in the manner herein
provided. 
 In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of
Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee shall follow the direction of the Noteholders representing the greater percentage of the Note Balance. 

(b) No Noteholder shall have any right to vote except as provided pursuant to this Indenture and the Notes, nor any right in any manner to
otherwise control the operation and management of the Issuer. However, in connection with any action as to which Noteholders are entitled to vote or consent under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer may set a record date for purposes of
determining the identity of Noteholders entitled to vote or consent in accordance with TIA Section 316(c). 
 SECTION 5.7 Rights of
Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective due
dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Noteholder. 
 SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any
Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 

  

					
		  	34	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy except to the extent explicitly set forth herein, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the
Noteholders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4,
5.6, 6.2(d) and 6.2(e), Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or with respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 

(b) any such direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be effective only to the extent the
Indenture Trustee is permitted to take such action pursuant to Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.17; 

(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects
to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Note Balance to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; 

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction, applicable law and the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (e) such direction shall be in writing; 

provided, further, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines
might expose it to personal liability or might materially adversely affect or unduly prejudice the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. 

  

					
		  	35	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of
the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder or (c) arising from a
Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to
exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
prior, subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of
the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture

 SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. 

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may
request to compel or secure the performance and observance (i) by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (ii) by the Seller or
Santander Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully

on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or Santander Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

Servicing Agreement and/or against the Seller or Santander Consumer under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Servicer and/or Santander Consumer, as
the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and/or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and any
right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended. 
 SECTION 5.17 Sale of Collateral. If the Indenture Trustee acts to sell
the Collateral or any part thereof, pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Indenture Trustee shall publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee intends to effect such a sale in a commercially
reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids. Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee shall, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law from any such action, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above to the highest bidder, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such
sale. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Seller and the Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to bid for the Collateral at any such sale. The Indenture Trustee may obtain
a prior determination from a conservator, receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable. The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to
Section 5.4 and this Section 5.17 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral
shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid.

the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking and investment banking relationships with the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates.

		  	41	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 SECTION 6.4 The Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not
be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, enforceability or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes (including any recitals), all of which shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture
Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Administrator notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to
the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders. 

SECTION 6.6 Reports by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall make available
to each Noteholder, not later than the latest date permitted by law, such information as may be required by the Code to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. 

SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be (i) paid from time to time such compensation as the
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for services rendered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder in accordance with an applicable fee letter, (ii) reimbursed for all reasonable expenses, advances and
disbursements reasonably incurred by it in connection with the performance of its powers and duties as Indenture Trustee, Relevant Trustee, Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent and (iii) indemnified for, and held harmless against,
any and all fees, costs, loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs and any losses incurred in connection with a successful defense, in whole or part, of any claim that the
Indenture Trustee breached its standard of care and legal fees and expenses and court costs incurred in actions against the indemnifying party) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document, the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee, Relevant Trustee, Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent or the enforcement of its rights (including indemnification rights) under the Transaction Documents. The
Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder or, in the case of the Servicer, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Servicer to, defend any such claim (except in 

  

					
		  	42	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 
connection with any claim for indemnification of any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with any enforcement (including by means of any
action, claim or suit) by the Indenture Trustee of any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer or Servicer), and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel within a reasonable time following receipt by the Servicer of an invoice therefor. None of the Administrator, the Issuer, the Seller, or the Servicer shall be liable for or required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee from
and against any of the foregoing expenses or indemnities arising or resulting from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in
Section 6.13 made by the Indenture Trustee or (iii) taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the Indenture Trustee. 

The compensation and indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the
termination, assignment, and/or discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in
Section 5.1(e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 

Any amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be paid pursuant to
Section 4.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of this Indenture, as applicable (to the extent of Available Funds available therefor) or, to the extent not paid thereunder,
shall be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.8
Removal, Resignation and Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign for any reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer. The Holders of a majority of the Note
Balance of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, and following that removal may appoint a successor to the Indenture Trustee.
The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if: 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

 (b) a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee; 

(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture
Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. 

  

					
		  	43	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture
Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee. 
 If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring
Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee. 
 If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
 Any
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 and payment of all fees, indemnities and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer’s
and Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. 

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. Subject to Section 6.11, if the Indenture Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association or other entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or other
entity without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided, that such corporation or banking association or other entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The
Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator prior written notice of any such transaction. 
 In case at the time such successor or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt
the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes
either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee.

 SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee
or Separate Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, after delivering written
notice to the Administrator, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, or for an enforcement action or where a conflict of interest exists, the Indenture
Trustee and the Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the
Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11, and no notice to Noteholders of
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8. 

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act
subject to the following provisions and conditions: 
 (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being intended that such separate trustee
or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee; 

(ii) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; 

(iii) the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may at any time accept the resignation of or, acting jointly, remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee; 
 (iv) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be deemed an agent of the Indenture Trustee; and 
 (v) the
Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability relating to the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee or relating to the action or inaction of any
co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall
be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

time constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and
trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which
the Issuer and the Noteholders shall rely: 
 (i) the Indenture Trustee is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America;

(b) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Note Registrar of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than ten days prior to the time such list

SECTION 7.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Noteholders
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as the Note Registrar. The
Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar or
the Notes are issued as Book-Entry Notes, no such list shall be required to be preserved or maintained. 
 (b) The Noteholders may
communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of any request by three or more Noteholders or by one or more
Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance, voting together as a single Class, to receive a copy of the current list of Noteholders (whether or not made pursuant to TIA Section 312(b)), the Indenture Trustee shall
promptly notify the Administrator thereof by providing to the Administrator a copy of such request and a copy of the list of Noteholders produced in response thereto. 

(c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).

beginning with March 31, 2022, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder as required by TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Indenture Trustee also shall comply

 SECTION 7.4 Rule 144A Information. At any time when the Issuer is not subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Noteholder or Note Owner of a 144A Note, the Issuer shall
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Noteholder or Note Owner, to a prospective purchaser of such 144A Note designated by such Noteholder or Note Owner or to the Indenture Trustee for delivery (in the manner
contemplated by Section 4.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) to such Noteholder or Note Owner, as the case may be, or a prospective purchaser designated by such Noteholder or Note Owner, in order to permit compliance by such Noteholder or
Note Owner with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of such 144A Note by such Noteholder or Note Owner. 
 SECTION 7.5 Noteholder
Demand for Repurchase, Dispute Resolution. 
 (a) If a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if
the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) becomes aware of a breach of Santander Consumer’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement that would require Santander Consumer to
repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement such Noteholder or Note Owner (the “Requesting Investor”) may, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, direct the Indenture
Trustee to notify Santander Consumer of such breach and request that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable. Any such written notice to the Indenture Trustee shall identify the Receivable and shall reference this Indenture, as well as
the related breach of representation or warranty. If the Requesting Investor is a Note Owner, then each written notice from such Requesting Investor must be accompanied by Verification Documents. Upon receipt of any written notice of a repurchase
request that complies with the requirements of this Section 7.5, the Indenture Trustee shall forward such written notice to Santander Consumer and request that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable pursuant
to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, following delivery of such notice and request to Santander Consumer, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the decision by
Santander Consumer to repurchase or not to repurchase the related Receivable. 
 (b) If a Requesting Investor directs the Indenture Trustee
to request the repurchase of a Receivable pursuant to clause (a) above, and the repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of such Requesting Investor within 180 days of the receipt of
notice of the request by Santander Consumer, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of such Requesting Investor, refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to
Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, if the Indenture Trustee declines to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration due to the failure of
such Requesting Investor to offer the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursement, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents
and its counsel in connection with such request, the Requesting Investor may directly refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. 

  

					
		  	48	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (c) A Requesting Investor shall not be required to direct that an Asset Review be performed
prior to submitting a repurchase request with respect to any Receivable or using the dispute resolution provisions pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Receivable. The failure of
a Requesting Investor to direct an Asset Review shall not affect whether any Requesting Investor can pursue dispute resolution. In addition, whether any Requesting Investor voted affirmatively, negatively or abstained in the vote to cause an Asset
Review shall not affect whether such Requesting Investor may use the dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A Requesting Investor may refer to either mediation
(including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement a dispute related to any Receivables, including any Receivables that the Asset Representations Reviewer did not
review in connection with an Asset Review, any Receivables for which the Asset Representations Reviewer found a Test Fail in connection with an Asset Review and any Receivables that the Asset Representations Reviewer reviewed and determined that
there were no Test Fails in connection with an Asset Review. 
 SECTION 7.6 Asset Review Voting. 

(a) If the Delinquency Percentage on any Payment Date exceeds the Delinquency Trigger, then Noteholders (if the Notes are represented by
Definitive Notes) or Note Owners (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) holding at least 5% of the Outstanding Note Balance (the “Instituting Noteholders”) may elect to initiate a vote to determine whether the Asset
Representations Reviewer should conduct an Asset Review by giving written notice to the Indenture Trustee of their desire to institute such a vote within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing
that the Delinquency Percentage exceeds the Delinquency Trigger; provided, however, that the failure of any Noteholder or Note Owner to institute such a vote shall not preclude such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, from
pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If any Instituting Noteholder is not a Noteholder as reflected on the Note Register, the Indenture Trustee may require such
Instituting Noteholder to provide Verification Documents to confirm that the Instituting Noteholder is, in fact, a Note Owner. If the Instituting Noteholders initiate a vote as described in this clause (a), the Indenture Trustee shall
submit the matter to a vote of all Noteholders, which shall be through the Clearing Agency if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes, and the Issuer will include or cause to be included in the related Form
10-D that such a vote has been called. The Indenture Trustee may set a Record Date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, entitled to vote in accordance
with TIA Section 316(c). The vote will remain open until the 150th day after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing that the Delinquency Percentage
exceeds the Delinquency Trigger. Abstaining from, voting in favor of, or voting against causing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review shall not preclude any Noteholder from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to
Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The “Noteholder Direction” shall be deemed to have occurred if Noteholders representing at least a majority of the voting Noteholders vote in favor of
directing an Asset Review of the Subject Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer. Following the completion of the voting process, the next Form 10-D filed by the Depositor will disclose whether
or not a Noteholder Direction has occurred. 
 (b) Within 5 Business Days of the Review Satisfaction Date, the Indenture Trustee will send a
written notice (a “Review Notice”) to Santander Consumer, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer specifying that the asset review conditions have been satisfied, providing the applicable Review
Satisfaction Date and stating that the Asset Representations Reviewer shall conduct an Asset Review of the Subject Receivables. 

  

					
		  	49	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 7.6, a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) need not direct an Asset Review be performed prior to (i)(x) directing the
Indenture Trustee to notify Santander Consumer of a breach of Santander Consumer’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement that would require Santander Consumer to repurchase a
Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement and (y) requesting that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof or (ii) referring
the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(c) If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b), the Administrator shall provide at least 10
days’ prior notice of the redemption of the Notes to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall provide prompt (but not later than 5 days’ prior to the applicable Redemption Date) notice
thereof to the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 10.2 Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under
Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes as of the close of business on

All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) the Redemption Price; 

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only
upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.2); 
 (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date; and

 (v) the CUSIP numbers (if applicable) for such Notes. 

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. In addition, the
Issuer shall notify each Rating Agency upon redemption of the Notes. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any Note. 

SECTION 10.3 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by
Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. 
 (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take

Every certificate or opinion furnished in accordance with TIA Section 314(e) with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant

Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value in accordance with TIA Section 314(d) (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property
or securities to be so deposited. 

  

					
		  	58	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair
value in accordance with TIA Section 314(d) to the Issuer of the property or securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year
of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so

(iii) Other than as contemplated by Section 11.1(b)(v), whenever any property or securities are to be released from

clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is
less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then aggregate Note Balance. 
 (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9
or any other provision of this Section 11.1, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents
and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents. 

SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to the Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by,
or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion


  

					
		  	59	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 
is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the
Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Whenever in this Indenture, in
connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any
term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such
case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon
the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 
 SECTION 11.3 Acts
of Noteholders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture
to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by any Noteholder shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is
made upon such Note.

 SECTION 11.4 Notices. 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. 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. 

SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid or via electronic transmission to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not
later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to
any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage
or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating
Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 

SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the
contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for
such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the
Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. 
 SECTION 11.7 Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. 

  

					
		  	61	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)

in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 

SECTION 11.11 Separability; Entire Agreement. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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 or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements
among the parties with respect to the transactions described in the Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 11.12 Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION
11.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 

SECTION 11.14 GOVERNING LAW; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS

York and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (ii) consents that any such Proceeding may be brought and maintained in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such Proceeding in any such court or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”); (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a

investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and
the same instrument. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character

 SECTION 11.16 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in
any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

 SECTION 11.17 Trust Obligation. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner of a
beneficial interest in a Note, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, (ii) any Certificateholder
or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) the Servicer, the Administrator or the Seller or (iv) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, successor or assign of any Person described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except
that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

SECTION 11.18 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a
Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all
securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties, (i) such party shall not authorize any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other Proceeding seeking
liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an

		  	64	  	Indenture (DRIVE 2021-1)













 (b) It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes (other than any Notes that are owned
during any period of time by either the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes) constitute indebtedness for all tax purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of a
Note (by virtue of the acquisition of such Note or an interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all federal, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes. 

SECTION 11.20 Subordination of Claims. The Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are obligations solely of the Issuer and will
not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Issuer does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by accepting the benefits of this agreement, a Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate (or any portion thereof), and the Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and as Indenture Trustee), by entering
into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, and each Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and any Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit
from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of
Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be
expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all other obligations and liabilities, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from,
entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. The provisions of this Section 11.20 will be deemed a
subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Indenture Trustee), by entering into or accepting this agreement, a Certificateholder, by
accepting a Certificate, and the Owner Trustee and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this
Section 11.20 and the terms of this Section 11.20 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 11.20 will be for the third party
benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Indenture.

conferred and vested in it, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations,
warranties, covenants undertakings and agreements by Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A., but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on
Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A., individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by,
through or under the parties hereto, (d) Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A. has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer or any other Person in this Indenture and
(e) under no circumstances shall Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A. be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, duty (including fiduciary
duty, if any), representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or under the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant thereto,
as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 11.22 U.S.A. Patriot Act.
The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Indenture Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Indenture Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Indenture Trustee with
such information about the Issuer as it may request in order for the Indenture Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act. 

SECTION 11.23 Beneficial Ownership. Pursuant to Applicable Law (as defined in the Trust Agreement), the Indenture Trustee is required
to obtain from the Issuer on or before closing, and from time to time thereafter, documentation to verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual
person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Indenture Trustee will ask for documentation to verify the entity’s formation and existence, its financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents,
identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity and other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities). To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected and indemnified in relying on, any such information received. Failure to provide such information may result in an inability of the Indenture Trustee
to perform its obligations hereunder, which, at the sole option of the Indenture Trustee, may result in the Indenture Trustee’s resignation in accordance with the terms hereof.

 SCHEDULE I 

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants
to the Indenture Trustee as follows on the Closing Date: 
 General 

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other Collateral in favor of
the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. 

2. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper,” “electronic chattel paper,” “accounts,” “instruments” or
“general intangibles,” within the meaning of the UCC. If a Receivable constitutes “electronic chattel paper,” Santander Consumer has “control” of such electronic chattel paper within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC. 
 3. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security
interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Originator (or its assignee), as secured party, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the
