 THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of July 17, 2013

 WHEREAS, Santander Consumer is willing to sell such portfolio of motor vehicle receivables and related property to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS AND USAGE 
 SECTION 1.1
Definitions.   Except as otherwise defined herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated
as of the date hereof (as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among Santander Drive Auto Receivables Trust 2013-4, Santander Consumer, as Servicer, the

accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP (provided, that, to the extent that the definitions in this Agreement and GAAP conflict, the definitions
in this Agreement shall control); (b) terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in that Article; (c) the words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (d) references to any Article, Section, Schedule, Appendix or Exhibit are

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

SECTION 2.2 Consideration and Payment.    The purchase price for the sale of the Purchased
Assets sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date shall equal the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Such purchase price shall be paid in cash to Santander Consumer in an amount agreed to between Santander Consumer and the
Purchaser, and, to the extent not paid in cash by the Purchaser, shall be paid by a capital contribution by Santander Consumer of an undivided interest in such Purchased Assets that increases its equity interest in the Purchaser in an amount equal
to the excess of the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets over the amount of cash paid by the Purchaser to Santander Consumer. 
 ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

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

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

  
 -2-

 
Santander Consumer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets.

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

(d)      Binding Effect.  Each Transaction Document to which Santander
Consumer is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Santander Consumer enforceable against Santander Consumer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general
principles of equity. 
 (e)      No Proceedings.  There are no
actions, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Santander Consumer, threatened against Santander Consumer before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or
ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by Santander Consumer of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relate to Santander Consumer that would materially and adversely
affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 

(f)      Lien Filings.  Santander Consumer is not aware of any material
judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against Santander Consumer. 
 SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties
of Santander Consumer as to each Receivable.  On the date hereof, Santander Consumer hereby makes the representations and 

  
 -3-

 
warranties set forth on Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Purchaser as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, contributed and otherwise conveyed to the
Purchaser under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties shall survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, Santander Consumer shall not be
required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 

SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach.  Upon discovery by or notice to the Purchaser or Santander Consumer
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 with respect to any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer
or the Noteholders in such Receivable, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to
constitute prompt notice by Santander Consumer and the Purchaser of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Santander Consumer hereunder. If the breach materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then Santander Consumer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Purchaser, in either case
on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if Santander Consumer elects, an earlier date) after the date Santander Consumer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach
or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by
Santander Consumer shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, Santander Consumer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such
amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time, on such date of repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by Santander Consumer, the Purchaser shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by Santander Consumer to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in Santander Consumer or its designee any
Receivable and related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.3. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Santander Consumer to repurchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Purchaser. 
 SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title. 

(a)      Santander Consumer shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to
be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the Receivables (other than
any Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that the interest of the Purchaser therein cannot be perfected by the filing of 

  
 -4-

 
a financing statement). Santander Consumer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon
as available following such filing. 
 (b)      Santander Consumer shall notify
the Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days following the occurrence of (i) any change in Santander Consumer’s organizational structure as a corporation, (ii) any change in Santander Consumer’s “location” (within
the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in Santander Consumer’s name, and (A) shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take
such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation
statements described in paragraph (a) above and (B) shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after such change an Opinion of Counsel either (a) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (b) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 

(c)      Santander Consumer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain)
accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of
each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable. 

(d)      Santander Consumer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain)
its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser
(or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such Person. Indication of such Person’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and
only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased. 

(e)      If at any time Santander Consumer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest
in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Santander Consumer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts
(including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the
Purchaser). 
 SECTION 3.5  Other Liens or Interests.   Except for the
conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Santander Consumer shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and Santander Consumer shall defend the 

  
 -5-

 
right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Santander
Consumer. 
 SECTION 3.6  Perfection Representations, Warranties and
Covenants.     Santander Consumer hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached hereto as Schedule I to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied on such
representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Purchased Assets. 
 ARTICLE IV 

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

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

(iii)      The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable
Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for
purposes of perfecting the 

  
 -6-

 
security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and 

(iv)       Notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. 
 SECTION 4.2  Notices,
Etc.  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by
facsimile or by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the
other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or
reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the
time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 
 SECTION 4.3  Choice of Law.   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH LAWS. 
 SECTION 4.4  Headings.      The
section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.5  Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 4.6  Amendment. 

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

(i)        Santander Consumer or the Purchaser delivers an
Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 

  
 -7-

 (ii)       The Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and Santander Consumer or the Purchaser notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment; 

provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or
duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person. 

(b)      This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Santander Consumer and the
Purchaser, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal balance of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such
reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. 
 (c)      Any term or provision of this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Santander Consumer and the Purchaser for the purpose of conforming the terms of this
Agreement to the description thereof in the Prospectus or, to the extent not contrary to the Prospectus, to the description thereof in an offering memorandum with respect to the Non-Investment Grade Notes without the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person, provided, however, that Santander Consumer and the Purchaser shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee,
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and promptly after the execution of such amendment, Santander Consumer and the Purchaser shall furnish a copy of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee. 

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

(e)      Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and
delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as
applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. 

SECTION 4.7  Waivers.  No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the Servicer,
Santander Consumer, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver 

  
 -8-

 
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on
the Purchaser or Santander Consumer in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by either party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or
approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. 

SECTION 4.8  Entire Agreement.    The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral
or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among the parties. 

SECTION 4.9  Severability of Provisions.    If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.10  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree. 

SECTION 4.11  Acknowledgment and Agreement.    By execution below, Santander
Consumer expressly acknowledges and consents to the sale of the Purchased Assets and the assignment of all rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement by the Purchaser to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Grant of a
security interest in the Receivables, the other Purchased Assets and the Issuer’s rights under this Agreement by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, Santander Consumer
hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the event that the Purchaser shall fail to
exercise the same. 
 SECTION 4.12  Cumulative Remedies.   The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

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 any Bankruptcy Remote Party (i) such party hereto 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 

  
 -9-

 
administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property or to consent to any such
relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other Proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally, any

any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 4.14  Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a)      submits for
itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general

 In
addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement, Santander Consumer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Purchaser as follows on the Closing Date: 

General 
 1.       This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets in favor of
the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Santander Consumer. 
 2.       The Receivables constitute “chattel paper,” “accounts,” “instruments” or “general intangibles,” within the meaning of
the UCC. 
 3.       Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer
thereof pursuant to this Agreement, each Receivable was secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator, 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 related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator, as secured party. 

Creation 
 4.       Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by Santander Consumer to the Purchaser, Santander Consumer owned and had good
and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien and immediately after the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and
clear of any Lien. 
 5.       Santander Consumer has received all consents
and approvals to the sale of the Receivables hereunder to the Purchaser required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments. 
 Perfection 

6.       Santander Consumer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the
effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from Santander Consumer to the
Purchaser, and the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Purchaser hereunder; and the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession the original copies of such instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or
evidence the Receivables, and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured
Party/Purchaser.” 

  
 -1-

 7.       With respect to Receivables that
constitute instruments or tangible chattel paper, either: 
  

	 	(i)	 All original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or

  

	 	(ii)	 Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment
from the Servicer that the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer; or 

 

	 	(iii)	 The Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from
the Servicer that the Servicer is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. 

Priority 
 8.       Santander Consumer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against Santander Consumer that include a description of
collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or (ii) that has been terminated. 

9.       Santander Consumer is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against Santander Consumer. 
 10.     Neither Santander Consumer nor a
custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or
evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer. 
 11.     None of the
instruments, tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser, the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 Survival of Perfection Representations 

12.     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule I shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Notes have been finally and

covenants.

 SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 17, 2013 (as amended,

RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., an Illinois corporation (“Santander Consumer”), as servicer (in such capacity, the
“Servicer”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, a New York banking corporation, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). 

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to purchase from the Seller a portfolio of motor vehicle receivables, including motor vehicle
retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans that are secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and vans; 
 WHEREAS, the Seller is willing to sell such portfolio of motor vehicle receivables and related property to the Issuer; and 

WHEREAS, Santander Consumer is willing to service such motor vehicle receivables and related property on behalf of the
Issuer; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS AND USAGE 

SECTION 1.1    Definitions.    Except as otherwise specified
herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Appendix A hereto, which also contains rules as to usage that are applicable herein. 

SECTION 1.2    Other Interpretive Provisions.  For purposes of this
Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (a) accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them
under GAAP; provided, that, to the extent that the definitions in this Agreement and GAAP conflict, the definitions in this Agreement shall control; (b) terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction and
not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in that Article; (c) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement; (d) references to any Article, Section, Schedule, Appendix or Exhibit are references to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits in or to this Agreement and references to any paragraph, subsection,
clause or other subdivision within any Section or definition refer to such paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision of such Section or definition; (e) the term “including” and all variations thereof means “including
without limitation”; (f) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, references to any law or regulation refer to that law or regulation as amended from time to time and include any successor law or regulation; (g) references to
any Person include that Person’s successors and assigns; and 

 
(h) headings are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. 

ARTICLE II 

CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS 
 SECTION 2.1    Conveyance of Transferred Assets.    In consideration of the Issuer’s sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller
of all of the Notes and the Residual Interest on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the
Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Transferred Assets, as evidenced by an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made
hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the applicable Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other
assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 

SECTION 2.2    Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each
Receivable.  On the date hereof, the Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, and otherwise
conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. The representations and warranties as to each Receivable shall survive the Grant of the Receivables by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Seller shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance
Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 2.3    Repurchase Upon Breach.  Upon discovery by or notice to any party hereto of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 2.2 with respect to any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving
such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer, the Seller and the Issuer of such
breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable,
then the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th
day after the date the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain
timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer
equal to the 

  
 2 

 
Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time, on such date of repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and the Issuer shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by the
Seller to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in the Seller or its designee all of the Issuer’s and Indenture Trustee’s rights in any Receivable and related Transferred Assets repurchased pursuant to this
Section 2.3. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to repurchase (or to enforce the obligations of Santander Consumer under the Purchase Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring
the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.3. 

SECTION 2.4    Custody of Receivable Files. 

(a)      Custody.   To assure uniform quality in servicing the
Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its agent or designee), as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture with respect to each Receivable (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in tangible paper form or electronic form) (the “Receivable Files”): 

 

	 	(i)	 the fully executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of the Contract (in each case within the meaning of the
UCC) related to such Receivable, including any written amendments or extensions thereto; 

  

	 	(ii)	 the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that an application therefor has been submitted with the appropriate authority,
a guaranty of title from a Dealer or such other document (electronic or otherwise, as used in the applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the security interest of the
applicable Originator in the Financed Vehicle; provided, however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File, the Certificate of Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged by the Servicer to obtain and/or hold
Certificates of Title; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a
Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. 

  
 3 

(b)      Safekeeping.   The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian,
shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer will
promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein provided or promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure. Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices,
(i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees. 

(c)      Maintenance of and Access to Records.   The Servicer will
maintain each Receivable File in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with
Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide
access to the Receivable Files and the related accounts records, and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the normal business hours at the
respective offices of the Servicer. 
 (d)      Release of
Documents.  Upon written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture
Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to the
Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor. 
 (e)      Instructions; Authority to Act.  All instructions from the Indenture Trustee will be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written instructions. 

(f)      Custodian’s Indemnification.   Subject to
Section 6.2, the Servicer as custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided,
however, that the Servicer as custodian will not be liable (i) to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of contract or negligence of the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer, respectively, or (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the failure of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee to handle
with due care any Certificate of Title or other document released to 

  
 4 

 
the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee pursuant to Section 2.4(d). 

(g)      Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s
appointment as custodian will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If Santander Consumer resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 7.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing
not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as practicable
after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to its agent) the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer at such
place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate. 
 ARTICLE III 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF 
 RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY 

SECTION 3.1    Duties of Servicer. 

(a)      The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent for
the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables will be
carried out in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s
duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors,
accounting for Collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer is not required under the Transaction Documents to make any
disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an Obligor. No payments or disbursements
shall be made by the Servicer on behalf of the Obligor. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. 

(b)      The Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full
power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Residual Interestholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or

  
 5 

 
cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. The Servicer is
hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating
to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor, a Financed Vehicle or an Insurance Policy. If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy, the Issuer will thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such
Receivable or its rights under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver
in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
enforce a Receivable or Insurance Policy on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce
the Receivable or Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Issuer in connection with
ownership of the Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. 
 (c)      The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its activities as Servicer
hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1, and, in any case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor Servicer, and the Servicer
shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer. 

SECTION 3.2    Collection of Receivable Payments. 

(a)      The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same become due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to Section 3.5, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or
adjustments with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day
of the Collection Period immediately prior to the Class E Final Scheduled Payment Date or (ii) reduces the Contract Rate with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) or court order or (iii) reduces the Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other than (A) as required by applicable law, (B) in connection with a settlement in the event the Receivable
becomes a Defaulted Receivable or (C) in connection with a Cram Down Loss relating to such Receivable, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 3.6. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any
late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not be required to make any advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments
on 

  
 6 

 
the Receivables, including payoffs, made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the
Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such payments shall be allocated to principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables. 

(b)      Subject to the proviso of the second sentence of Section 3.2(a), the
Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of
comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or
slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. 
 (c)      Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property
of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any
casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle. 
 (d)      Records documenting
collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as
prescribed by the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices, and describe the entity’s activities in monitoring delinquent pool assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling plans in cases where delinquency is
deemed temporary (e.g., illness or unemployment) in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. 
 (e)      The Servicer shall not be required to maintain a fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy. 

SECTION 3.3    Repossession of Financed Vehicles.  On behalf of the
Issuer, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer
has determined eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its sole discretion it determines that repossession will not increase the amounts described
in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by
forbearance. The Servicer is authorized as it deems necessary or advisable, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to make reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and to sell the related Financed Vehicle at public
or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such
Financed Vehicle unless it determines in its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the amounts described in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such
Financed 

  
 7 

 
Vehicle by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices sell any Receivable’s deficiency
balance. Net proceeds of any such sale allocable to the Receivable will constitute Liquidation Proceeds, and the sole right of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any such sold Receivables will be to receive such Liquidation
Proceeds. Upon such sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold is no longer a Receivable. The Servicer is authorized to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate on behalf of the Issuer to
evidence the sale of the Receivable free from any Lien or other interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 SECTION 3.4    Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.   The Servicer will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take
such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Transaction Documents with respect
to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the Certificate of Title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not
constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of
the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. 

SECTION 3.5    Covenants of Servicer.   Unless required by law or
court order, the Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor
thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (ii) in connection with repossession or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order
to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle. 
 SECTION 3.6
    Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach.  Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that the delivery of the Servicer’s
Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this
Section 3.6. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase such Receivable from
the Issuer, in either case on the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day after the date the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed
not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the related
Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New

  
 8 

 
York City time, on such date of repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and the Issuer shall release and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by the Servicer to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in the
Servicer or its designee all of the Issuer’s and Indenture Trustee’s rights in any Receivable and related Transferred Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.6. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 3.7    Servicing Fee.  On each Payment Date, the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 for the immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its services. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to
retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account during each Collection Period.

 SECTION 3.8    Servicer’s Certificate.   On or
before the Determination Date preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s Certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the
Servicer containing all information necessary to make the payments, transfers and distributions pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 on such Payment Date, together with the written statements to be furnished by the Indenture Trustee to the
Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof and Section 6.6 of the Indenture. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic format or hard copy format. 

SECTION 3.9    Annual Officer’s Certificate; Notice of Servicer Replacement
Event. 
 (a)      So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to
the Issuer under the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, on or before March 30th of each year, beginning on March 30, 2014, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the
immediately preceding year, providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

the extent set forth in this Section 3.9(b), Section 7.2 and Section 9.22 of this Agreement and Section 3.12 and Section 6.5 of the Indenture, the Transaction Documents do not require any
policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default. 

  
 9 

 (c)      So long as the Seller is filing any
reports with respect to the Issuer under the Exchange Act, the Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, on or before March 30th of each year, beginning on March 30, 2014, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with
the Servicing Criteria specified in Exhibit C as applicable to the Servicer during the immediately preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified by the Servicer, as required under
paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18, or Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. 

SECTION 3.10   Annual Registered Public Accounting Firm Attestation 

(a)      So long as the Seller is filing any reports with respect to the Issuer under the
Exchange Act, on or before March 30th of each year,
beginning March 30, 2014, the Servicer shall cause a registered public accounting firm, which may also render other services to the Servicer or to its Affiliates, to furnish to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, each attestation
report on assessments of compliance with the Servicing Criteria with respect to the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof during the related fiscal year delivered by such accountants pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 of the
Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or attestation standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of
comparable assets, or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission. 
 (b)      The Servicer, however, shall not be obligated to deliver any report described above to any Person who does not comply with or agree to the required procedures of
such firm of independent certified public accountants, including but not limited to execution of engagement letters or access letters regarding such reports. 
 SECTION 3.11   Servicer Expenses.   The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses (other than expenses described in the definition of Liquidation
Proceeds) incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Noteholders
and the Residual Interestholders. The Servicer shall also pay all fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.7 of the Indenture), Owner Trustee (in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Trust
Agreement) and Administrator and organizational expenses of the Issuer. 

SECTION 3.12   Back-up Servicing.  In the event that (i) the
long-term unsecured debt rating by Moody’s of Banco Santander, S.A. falls below “Baa3” (a “Ratings Trigger Event”) or (ii) Banco Santander, S.A. ceases to directly or indirectly own at least
50% of the common stock of Santander Consumer (an “Ownership Trigger Event”), Santander Consumer shall have in place a back-up servicing arrangement consistent with Moody’s published ratings criteria at the
time of the Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, as applicable, within 90 days of such Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, respectively, unless it shall be acceptable to Moody’s at such time, or
otherwise satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s, for Santander Consumer not to have in place a back-up servicing arrangement or to deviate from such published criteria.

 SECTION 3.13   Exchange Act

 (b)      Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee
in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer and of which the Servicer provides notification (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise); provided that it is understood and agreed that neither the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee (subject to Section 6.1(c) of the Indenture) nor the Issuer shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee

deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee (unless such Trust Account is an account with the

and shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account.

respect thereto; 

  

	 	(ii)	 any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee, in accordance with

 12

securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee or such designee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account
Property as described in such paragraph. 

 (e)      Except for
the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Certificate Distribution Account, there are no accounts required to be maintained under the Transaction Documents. 

SECTION 4.2    Remittances.  The Servicer shall deposit an amount equal
to all Collections into the Collection Account within two Business Days after identification; provided, however, that if the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, then the Servicer shall not be required to deposit into the
Collection Account an amount equal to the Collections received during any Collection Period until noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date. The “Monthly Remittance Condition” shall be deemed to
be satisfied if (i) Santander Consumer or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing, (iii) Banco Santander, S.A. has a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least
“A-2” from Standard & Poor’s and at least “Prime-1” by Moody’s and (iv) Santander Consumer is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Banco Santander, S.A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may remit
Collections to the Collection Account on any other alternate remittance schedule (but not later than the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such alternate remittance schedule.

(b)      The Indenture Trustee will, on or before the Payment Date relating to each
Collection Period, withdraw from the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Draw Amount and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account in accordance with the Servicer’s Certificate. 

(c)      The Indenture Trustee will, on each Payment Date, withdraw from the Reserve

Account Excess Amount, if any, for such Payment Date and deposit such amount in the Collection Account. 

  
 13 

 (d)      On the Closing Date the Seller will
cause the amount available in the Reserve Account to equal the Initial Reserve Account Deposit Amount through a cash deposit from proceeds of the sale of the Notes.

based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Class A Notes; 

  

	 	(4)	  fourth, for distribution to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.2(b) of the Indenture, the First Allocation of Principal,

 ARTICLE V 
 THE SELLER 
 SECTION
5.1    Representations and Warranties of Seller.  The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the
Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture: 
 (a)      Existence and Power.  The
Seller is a Delaware limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently
owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Seller has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. 

  
 17 

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

(d)      Binding Effect.    Each Transaction Document to which
the Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect or by general
principles of equity. 
 (e)      Lien Filings.  The Seller is
not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller. 

(f)      No Proceedings.  There are no actions, orders, suits,
investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially
and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the collectability or enforceability of the Receivables, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would materially
and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 
 (g)      Investment Company Act.    The Seller is not an “investment company” that is registered or required to be registered under, or
otherwise subject to the restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

  
 18 

 SECTION 5.2    Liability of Seller;
Indemnities.  The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following: 

(a)      The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes. 

(b)      The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon
all or any part of the Trust Estate. 
 (c)      Indemnification under this
Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay
such amounts to the Seller, without interest. 
 (d)      The Seller’s
obligations under this Section 5.2 are obligations solely of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance
of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have 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, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee 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 the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, 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, 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. This subordination agreement will be deemed a
subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach
of this Section 5.2(d) and the terms of this Section 5.2(d) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 5.2(d) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to
rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 19 

 SECTION 5.3    Merger or Consolidation of, or
Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller.  Any entity (i) into which the Seller may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially
as a whole or any entity resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Seller or (ii) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting
power and 50% or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by Banco Santander, S.A. and which executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this agreement, shall be the successor to
the Seller under this Agreement, in each case, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Within thirty days following the consummation
of any of the foregoing transactions in which the Seller is not the surviving entity, the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 
 SECTION 5.4    Limitation on
Liability of Seller and Others.  The Seller and any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability. 
 SECTION 5.5    Seller May Own Notes.  The
Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned
by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, vote or waiver hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document. 
 SECTION 5.6    Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Requirements.    To the extent any documents are required to be filed or any certification is required to be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the
Servicer and the Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign, certify and file any such documents or certifications on behalf of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 5.7    Compliance with Organizational Documents.  The Seller shall comply with its limited liability company agreement and other organizational
documents. 

  
 20 

 SECTION 5.8    Perfection Representations,
Warranties and Covenants.    The Seller hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall be deemed to have
relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Transferred Assets. 
 ARTICLE VI 

THE SERVICER 
 SECTION 6.1    Representations of Servicer.  The Servicer makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be
deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 

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

(b)      Authorization and No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and
performance by the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which its properties are bound, in each case, other than violations of such laws,
rules, regulations, indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated
by, or the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents. 

(c)      No Consent Required.    No approval or authorization
by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have
previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made or approvals, authorizations or filings that will be made on a timely basis and (iii) approval, authorizations or filings that, if not obtained or made, would not have a
material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

  
 21 

 (d)      Binding
Effect.  Each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in
effect or by general principles of equity. 
 (e)      No
Proceedings.    There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the
invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or (iv) relate to
the Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.2    Indemnities of Servicer.    The Servicer will be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following: 

(a)      The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof or any
sub-contractor hired by the Servicer or such Affiliate of a Financed Vehicle. 

(b)      The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any, including, without limitation,
any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the conveyance of the Receivables to
the Issuer or the issuance and original sales of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables, or federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the Obligors and for
which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables. 

  
 22 

 (c)      The Servicer will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability
arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than errors in judgment) of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party, or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; provided, however, that
the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from its breach of any covenant for which the purchase of the affected Receivables is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to
Section 3.6. 
 (d)      The Servicer will compensate and indemnify
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the extent and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture and Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement, as applicable, except, with respect to the Indenture
Trustee, to the extent that any cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a Successor Servicer hereunder. 

(e)      Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by Santander Consumer (or any
successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.1) as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant
to this Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. 

SECTION 6.3    Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of,
Servicer.  Any entity (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any entity
resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Servicer or (ii) of which more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50%
or more of the economic equity is owned directly or indirectly by Banco Santander, S.A. and which executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement, in each case, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 

  
 23 

 SECTION 6.4    Limitation on Liability of
Servicer and Others. 
 (a)      Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors
or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer will be under any liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Residual Interestholders, except as provided under this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, or
by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any
Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters arising under this Agreement. 

(b)      Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the
Residual Interestholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer. 

SECTION 6.5    Delegation of Duties.  The Servicer may, at any time without
notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties (including, without limitation, its duties as
custodian) to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this Section 6.5, the Servicer shall follow
such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for its own account.

 SECTION 6.6    Santander Consumer Not to Resign as
Servicer.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.3 and 6.5, Santander Consumer will not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that
the performance of its duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of Santander Consumer will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at the
earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such 

  
 24 

 
resignation will become effective until a successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Santander Consumer as Servicer. 

SECTION 6.7    Servicer May Own Notes.  The Servicer, and any Affiliate of
the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes. 
 ARTICLE VII 

TERMINATION OF SERVICER 
 SECTION 7.1    Termination of Servicer. 
 (a)      If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders representing at least a
majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to
the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, such
Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor
Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the outgoing Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding
the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution having a net
worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000. 

(b)      Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to
have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto. 

(c)      If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts
at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer. 

  
 25 

 (d)      Upon the effectiveness of the
assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the
Receivables, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including indemnification
obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of
the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in
the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. 

(e)      In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor
Servicer under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.2    Notification to
Noteholders.    Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the
Administrator and to the Noteholders at their respective addresses of record. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

OPTIONAL PURCHASE 
 SECTION 8.1    Optional Purchase of Trust Estate.  The Seller shall have the right at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase the
Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) from the Issuer on any Payment Date if the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period is less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date. The purchase price for
the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) shall equal the greater of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (after giving effect to all distributions pursuant to
Section 4.4(a) on that Payment Date) at the applicable Interest Rate up to but excluding the Redemption Date and (b) the fair market value of the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) (the “Optional Purchase
Price”), which amount shall be deposited by the Seller into the Collection Account on the Redemption Date. If the Seller exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related
Payment Date for the Redemption Price.

 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 SECTION
9.1    Amendment. 
 (a)      Any term or provision

 (i)      the Seller or the Servicer delivers an Opinion of
Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 

(ii)     the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment
and the Seller or the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. 
 (b)      This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by Seller, Servicer and the Indenture Trustee (when so directed by an Issuer
Request), with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note
without the consent of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, the consent of which is required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders
of at least the percentage of the Note Balance which was required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. 

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

  
 27 

 (d)      Prior to the execution of any such
amendment, the Servicer shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner Trustee; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such amendment to
each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee; provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (e)      Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into or execute on behalf of the Issuer any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.2    Protection of Title. 

(a)      The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement in the
Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that the interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. 
 (b)      Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity, organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a) above “seriously misleading” within the meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it (i) shall have
given the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice thereof, (ii) to the extent necessary, shall have promptly filed amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described
in paragraph (a) above and (iii) shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after such change an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to preserve and protect such interest. 
 (c)      The Seller shall give
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice of any change of location of the Seller for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made
arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not practicable to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements
described in paragraph (a) above. 

  
 28 

 (d)      The Servicer shall maintain (or shall
cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and
payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

 (e)      The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to
maintain) its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the
Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest
in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased. 

(f)      If at any time the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or
otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including
any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 9.3    Other Liens or Interests.  Except
for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other
Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property transferred to the Issuer
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller. 
 SECTION
9.4    Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. 

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

  
 29 

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

	 	(i)	 This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other
applicable jurisdiction; 

  

	 	(ii)	 The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer, a
security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance
of the obligations of the Seller hereunder; 

  

	 	(iii)	 The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer’s agent, of the Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and 

  

	 	(iv)	 Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. 

SECTION 9.5    Information Requests.  The parties hereto shall provide any
information reasonably requested by the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates, in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or principle.

 SECTION 9.6    Notices, Etc.    All demands, notices
and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or by electronic transmission, and
addressed in each case as set forth on Schedule II hereto or at such other address as shall be designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by
first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices
located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 

  
 30 

 SECTION 9.7    Choice of
Law.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS
5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 

SECTION 9.8    Headings.  The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.9    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION
9.10  Waivers.  No failure or delay on the part of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder)
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case
shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any party hereto under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.
No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.11  Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among the parties.

 SECTION 9.12  Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.13  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree. 

  
 31 

 SECTION 9.14  Acknowledgment and
Agreement.    By execution below, the Seller expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge, assignment and Grant of a security interest in the Receivables, the other Transferred Assets and the Issuer’s rights under
this Agreement by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have
the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement in the event that the Issuer shall fail to exercise the same. 
 SECTION 9.15  Cumulative Remedies.    The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other Proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of, its creditors

Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.17  Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a)      submits for
itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof; 

(b)      consents that any such action or 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 action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim

	(b)	 Schedule of Receivables.  The information with respect to a Receivable transferred on the Closing Date as set forth in the Schedule
of Receivables was true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date. 

  

	(c)	 Compliance with Law.    The Receivable complied at the time it was originated or made, and the transfer of that
Receivable to the Issuer complied at the time of transfer, in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including, to the extent applicable, usury laws, the Federal Truth in

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, to the extent applicable to the related Obligor.

Vehicle been released from the lien of such Receivable in whole or in part. 

  

	(f)	 No Default; No Waiver.  Except for payment delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Cut-Off Date,
the records of the Servicer did not disclose that any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of the Receivable existed as of the Cut-Off Date or that any continuing condition that with notice or lapse of time, or

local government, or any agency, department, political subdivision or instrumentality of the United States of America or any state thereof or any local government. 

 

	(i)	 Assignment.    No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale,

related Receivable. 

  

	(j)	 Good Title.    It is the intention of the Seller that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance herein contemplated
constitute an absolute sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables and that the Receivables not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy
law. As of the Closing Date, no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed or pledged to any Person other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents. As of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the sale and transfer contemplated
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner of each Receivable free and clear of all Liens (except any Lien which will be released prior to assignment of such Receivable hereunder), and,
immediately upon the sale and transfer thereof, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). 

 

	(k)	 Filings.      All filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give
the Issuer a first priority, validly perfected ownership interest in the Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement),
and 

  
 I-3

	 	 
to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest therein, will be made within ten days of the Closing Date. 

 

	(l)	 Priority.    The Receivable is not pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a security interest, or otherwise conveyed other
than pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Originator or the Seller that include a description of collateral covering any Receivable other than any
financing statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Receivable hereunder, will be terminated, amended or released. The Sale and Servicing Agreement creates
a valid and continuing security interest in the Receivable (other than the Related Security with respect thereto) in favor of the Issuer which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such
against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller. 

  

	(m)	 Characterization of Receivables.    Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper,” an
“account,” an “instrument,” or a “general intangible,” each as defined in the UCC. 

  

	(n)	 One Original.    There is only one executed original copy of the Contract (in each case within the meaning of the UCC)
related to each Receivable. 

  

	(o)	 No Defenses.  The Seller has no knowledge either of any facts which would give rise to any right of rescission, offset, claim,
counterclaim or defense, or of the same being asserted or threatened, with respect to any Receivable.
