Business Day.

Upon the payment of any Insured Payment hereunder, Financial Guaranty shall be fully subrogated to
the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive the amount so paid. Financial Guaranty’s
obligations with respect to the Notes hereunder with respect to each Payment Date shall be

12:00 noon on the fourth Business Day following receipt by Financial Guaranty on a Business Day of
(w) a certified copy of the Final Order, (x) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Financial
Guaranty that the order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form reasonably

Guaranty, appointing Financial Guaranty as the agent of the Indenture Trustee and/or such Holder in
respect of such Preference Amount, including without limitation in any legal proceeding related to
such Preference Amount, and (z) a Notice appropriately completed and executed by the Indenture
Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be. Such payment shall be made to the receiver,
conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not to the
Indenture Trustee or Holder of the Notes directly (unless the Holder has previously paid such
amount to such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in such
Final Order in which case payment shall be made to the Indenture Trustee for payment to the Holder
upon delivery of proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Financial Guaranty).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Financial Guaranty be (i) required to make any
payment under this Policy in respect of any Preference Amount to the extent such Preference Amount
is comprised of amounts previously paid by Financial Guaranty hereunder, or (ii) obligated to make
any payment in respect of any Preference Amount, which payment represents a payment of the
principal amount of any Notes, prior to the time Financial Guaranty otherwise would have been
required to make a payment in respect of such principal, in which case Financial Guaranty shall pay
the balance of the Preference Amount when such amount otherwise would have been required.

Any of the documents required under clauses (w) through (z) of the preceding paragraph that are
received by Financial Guaranty after 12:00 noon New York City time on a given Business Day or on
any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received by Financial Guaranty on
the next succeeding Business Day. If any Notice received by Financial Guaranty is not in proper
form or is otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making a claim under this Policy, it will be
deemed not to have been received by Financial Guaranty, and Financial Guaranty will promptly so
advise the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee may submit an amended Notice. All payments
made by Financial Guaranty hereunder in respect of Preference Amounts will be made with Financial
Guaranty’s own funds.

This Policy is non-cancelable for any reason, including nonpayment of any premium. The premium on
this Policy is not refundable for any reason, including the payment of any Notes prior to their
respective maturities. This Policy shall expire and terminate without any action on the part of
Financial Guaranty or any other Person on the date that is the later of (i) the date that

Agreement or the Indenture to the Holder of a Note.

based on any duty claimed to arise from the doctrine of “utmost good faith” or any similar or
related doctrine or any other circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety,
guarantor or any other person in law or in equity) that Financial Guaranty otherwise might have
asserted as a defense to its obligation to pay in full any amounts that have become due and payable
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy. Nothing in this paragraph, however,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights, remedies, claims or counterclaims that
Financial Guaranty may have with respect to the Issuer, Santander Drive Auto Receivables LLC,
Santander Consumer USA Inc. or any of their respective affiliates, whether acquired by subrogation,
assignment or otherwise.

“Notice” means a written notice in the form of Exhibit A to this Policy by registered or

Financial Guaranty to make any payment of principal or interest on such Note on an accelerated
basis, unless such acceleration of payment by Financial Guaranty is at the sole option of Financial

constitute acceleration for the purposes hereof.
