“Trust Agreement”). 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer has issued the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and has entered into certain
agreements in connection therewith, including, (i) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Indenture and (iii) the Depository Agreement (the Trust Agreement and each of the agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (iii)
are referred to herein collectively as the “Issuer Documents”); 
 WHEREAS, to secure payment of the Notes, the Issuer has
pledged the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Issuer Documents, the Issuer is
required to perform certain duties; 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to have the Administrator administer the affairs of the Issuer and
perform certain of the duties of the Issuer and to provide such additional services consistent with this Agreement and the Issuer Documents as the Issuer may from time to time request; 

WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services required hereby and is willing to perform such services for the Issuer on
the terms set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

1.    Duties of the Administrator. 

(a)    Duties with Respect to the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall perform all of its
duties as Administrator specifically enumerated herein and in the Issuer Documents and administer and perform all of the duties and obligations of the Issuer under the Issuer Documents and no additional duties shall be read to be included herein;

  

					
		  		  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
provided, however, that the Administrator shall have no obligation to make any payment required to be made by the Issuer under any Issuer Document. In addition, the Administrator
shall consult with the Issuer regarding its duties and obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and shall advise the Issuer when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s duties
and obligations under the Issuer Documents. Other than such items to be performed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Indenture, the Administrator shall perform such calculations, and shall prepare for
execution by the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates, notices and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant
to the Issuer Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all appropriate action that is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant to the Issuer Documents, and shall prepare, execute, file and deliver on behalf of the
Issuer all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates, notices and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, execute, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents or otherwise by law. 

(b)    Notices to Rating Agencies. The Administrator shall give notice to each Rating Agency of
(i) any merger or consolidation of the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Trust Agreement; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9 of
the Indenture; (iii) any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Indenture; (iv) any Default or Event of Default of which it has been provided notice pursuant to
Section 6.5 of the Indenture; (v) the termination of, and/or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (vi) any
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 of the Indenture; which notice shall be given in the case of each of clauses (i) through (vi) promptly upon the Administrator being notified
thereof by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable. 

(c)    Dissolution of the Issuer. Upon dissolution of the Issuer, the Administrator shall wind up
the business and affairs of the Issuer in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Trust Agreement. 

(d)    No Action by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take any action that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take or which would result in a violation or breach of the Issuer’s covenants, agreements or obligations under any of the
Issuer Documents. 
 (e)    Non-Ministerial Matters;
Exceptions to Administrator Duties. 
 (i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, with respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a reasonable time before the taking of
such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Issuer of the proposed action and the Issuer shall not have withheld consent or 

  

					
		  	2	  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation: 

(A)    the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of any action, claim or
lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer; 
 (B)    the appointment of successor Note Registrars,
successor Paying Agents, successor Indenture Trustees, a successor Administrator or successor Servicers, or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; and 

(C)    the removal of the Indenture Trustee. 

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be
obligated to, and shall not, (x) make any payments to the Noteholders or Certificateholders under the Transaction Documents, (y) except as provided in the Transaction Documents, sell the Trust Estate or (z) take any other action that
the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf. 
 2.    Records. The Administrator shall
maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection upon reasonable written request by the Issuer, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee at
any time during normal business hours. 
 3.    Compensation; Payment of Fees and Expenses. As compensation for
the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator shall be entitled to receive $2,500 annually, which shall be solely an obligation of the Servicer; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, such
compensation shall in no event exceed the Servicing Fee for the related annual period. The Administrator shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder. 

4.    Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator shall be an
independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall
have no authority to act for or to represent the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer. 

5.    No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the Administrator, the Issuer
or the Owner Trustee as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on the Administrator, the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on the Administrator, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other. 

6.    Other Activities of the Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from
engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other Person even though such Person may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee. 

  

					
		  	3	  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 7.    Representations and Warranties of the Administrator. The
Administrator represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows: 

(a)    Existence and Power. The Administrator is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Administrator 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 Administrator to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral. 

(b)    Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Administrator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Administrator and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation,
(ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material agreement to which the Administrator is a party by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational documents 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 Administrator’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 Administrator 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 Collateral or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

(d)    Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable against the Administrator 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. 

  

					
		  	4	  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 8.    Administrator Termination Events; Termination of the
Administrator. 
 (a)    Subject to clause (d) below, the Administrator may resign its
duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. 

(b)    Subject to Section 3.15 of the Indenture, the Issuer may remove the
Administrator without cause by providing the Administrator with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. 

(c)    The occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an “Administrator Termination
Event”) shall also entitle the Issuer, subject to Section 21 hereof, to terminate and replace the Administrator: 

(i)    any failure by the Administrator to duly observe or perform in any respect any other of its
covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Administrator
or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing a majority of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, voting together as a single class; or 

(ii)    the Administrator suffers a Bankruptcy Event; 

provided, however, that if any delay or failure of performance referred to under clause (c)(i) above shall have been caused by force
majeure or other similar occurrence, the 90 day grace period referred to in such clause (c)(i) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days. 

(d)    If an Administrator Termination Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject to
Section 21 hereof, by notice given to the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, terminate all or a portion of the rights and powers of the Administrator under this Agreement, including the rights of the Administrator to
receive the annual fee for services hereunder for all periods following such termination; provided, however that such termination shall not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section 21
hereof, shall have appointed a successor Administrator in the manner set forth below. Upon any such termination or upon a resignation of the Administrator in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof, all rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of the Administrator under this Agreement shall vest in and be assumed by any successor Administrator appointed by the Issuer, subject to Section 21 hereof, pursuant to a management agreement between
the Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing substantially the same provisions as this Agreement (including with respect to the compensation of such successor Administrator), and the successor Administrator is hereby irrevocably
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect such vesting and assumption. Further, in such event, the Administrator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
administration of the Issuer to the new Administrator. No resignation or removal of the Administrator shall be effective until a successor Administrator shall have been appointed by the Issuer. 

  

					
		  	5	  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (e)    The Issuer, subject to
Section 21 hereof, may waive in writing any Administrator Termination Event by the Administrator in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past Administrator Termination
Event, such Administrator Termination Event shall cease to exist, and any Administrator Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Administrator Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 9.    Action upon Termination or
Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, or the removal or resignation of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator
shall be entitled to be paid by the Servicer all fees accruing to it to the date of such termination or removal. 

10.    Liens. The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, suffer or allow to exist any Lien on the
Collateral other than Permitted Liens. 
 11.    Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified
on Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of
such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder. 

12.    Amendments. 

(a)    Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator 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)    the Administrator 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 Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. 

(b)    This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Administrator and the
Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be

  

					
		  	6	  	Administration Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Depository Agreement. 

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

(d)    Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 12, the
Administrator 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 Administrator 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 12 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 any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights,
duties or immunities under this Agreement. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding subsections (a) and
(b) of this Section 12, this Agreement may only be amended by the Administrator if (i) the Majority Certificateholders, or, if 100% of the aggregate Percentage Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander
Consumer and/or its Affiliates, such Person (or Persons) consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. In determining whether 100% of the aggregate Percentage Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander Consumer and/or its Affiliates for purposes of
clause (i), any party shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate or similar certification of Santander Consumer or any Affiliate thereof to such effect.

 21.    Assignment. Each party hereto hereby
acknowledges and consents to the mortgage, pledge, assignment and grant of a security interest by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders of all of the Issuer’s rights under this

party shall not authorize any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other Proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such

		  		  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 ARTICLE II 

ORGANIZATION 
 SECTION
2.1. Name. The trust created under the Original Trust Agreement shall be known as “Santander Drive Auto Receivables Trust 2021-1” (the “Issuer”), in which name the Owner
Trustee, the Administrator or the Servicer (to the extent set forth in the Transaction Documents) may conduct the business of such trust, make and execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of such trust and sue and be sued. 

SECTION 2.2. Office. The office of the Issuer shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other
address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders, the Seller and the Administrator. 
 SECTION 2.3.
Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Issuer is, and the Issuer shall have the power and authority, to engage in the following activities: 

(a)    to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and to
sell, transfer and exchange the Notes and the Certificates and to pay interest on and principal of the Notes and to make distributions to the Certificateholders; 

(b)    to acquire the property and assets set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement from the Seller
pursuant to the terms thereof, to make deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Reserve Account and to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Issuer; 

(c)    to assign, Grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture
and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders any portion of the Trust Estate released from the lien of, and remitted to the Issuer pursuant to, the Indenture; 

(d)    to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

 (e)    to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable
or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith, including entering into an accession agreement; and 

(f)    subject to compliance with the Transaction Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be
required in connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders and payments to the Noteholders. 

  

					
		  	2	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 Each of the Owner Trustee and the Administrator, as applicable, is hereby authorized to engage in the
foregoing activities on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor any Person acting on behalf of the Issuer shall engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 2.4. Appointment of the Owner Trustee. The Seller hereby appoints the
Owner Trustee as trustee of the Issuer effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein. The Owner Trustee accepts such appointment. 

SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. As of the date of the Original Trust Agreement, the Seller sold,
assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to the Owner Trustee the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Seller, as of such date, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Trust Estate
and shall be deposited in the Collection Account. 
 SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it
will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the Issuer constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for United States
federal income or state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes, so long as there is a single beneficial owner of the Certificates, the Issuer will be disregarded as an entity separate from such beneficial owner and the Notes will
be characterized as debt. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Issuer will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports or other forms consistent with the characterization
of the Issuer as an entity separate from its owner. In the event that the Issuer is deemed to have more than one beneficial owner for United States federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will file returns, reports and other forms consistent with
the characterization of the Issuer as a partnership (that is not treated as a publicly traded partnership), and this Agreement may be amended to include such provisions as may be required under Subchapter K of the Code. No election will be made by
or on behalf of the Issuer to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and,
to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Issuer. It is the intention of the parties hereto that except as expressly stated herein, the affairs of the Trust shall be
managed by the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Owner Trustee has heretofore filed the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by Section 3810(a) of the Statutory Trust
Statute, such filing hereby being ratified and approved in all respects. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Statutory Trust Statute to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Issuer constitute a
“business trust” within the meaning of Section 101(9)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the Issuer be and remain a separate legal entity under Delaware law. 

  

					
		  	3	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 SECTION 2.7. Organizational Expenses; Liabilities of the Holders. 

(a)    The Servicer shall pay organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise. 

(b)    No Certificateholder (including the Seller if the Seller becomes a Certificateholder) shall have any
personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 2.8. Title to the Trust Estate. Legal title to all the
Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity. 
 SECTION 2.9. Representations and Warranties of the
Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that: 
 (a)    Existence
and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full power and authority required to own its assets and operate its
business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the Underwriting Agreement. 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 and the Underwriting Agreement. 

(b)    Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of
each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the Underwriting Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller and (ii) do not violate or constitute a default under (A) any applicable
law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any material agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational
instruments, agreements or documents 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 to which it is a party or the Underwriting Agreement). 

(c)    No Consent Required. No approval, authorization or other action 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 UCC filings and other than (i) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings which have previously been made and (ii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement or the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 
 (d)    Binding Effect. Each of
the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party and the Underwriting Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding 

  

					
		  	4	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
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 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 or
other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity. 

(e)    No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits 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 or (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. 

(f)    To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, no amounts are required to be
deducted or withheld pursuant to FATCA with respect to payments to be made to the Certificateholders hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Seller has actual knowledge that withholding tax under FATCA applies with respect to one
or more payments on a Certificate, the Seller will notify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent of such fact. 

SECTION 2.10. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer shall be located in the State of Delaware (it being understood that the Issuer may have bank
accounts located and maintained outside of Delaware). 
 SECTION 2.11. Covenants of the Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder,
by becoming an owner of a Certificate and beneficial owner of the Issuer, hereby acknowledges and agrees (a) that the Certificateholder is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Certificate and this Agreement, to which the
Certificateholder agrees to be bound; and (b) that it shall not take any position in such Certificateholder’s tax returns inconsistent with Section 2.6 herein and Section 2.14 of the
Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.12. Federal Income Tax Allocations. If the Certificates have more than one beneficial owner for United States
federal income tax purposes, then for United States federal income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction for a month shall be allocated to the Certificateholders as of the first Record Date following the end of such
month in proportion to their Percentage Interests on such Record Date. The Seller (or the Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement and Section 5.3) is authorized, in its sole discretion, (i) to
modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Certificateholders or otherwise comply with the requirements of the Code and (ii) to determine
whether or not to make any available tax elections such as an election under Sections 1278 or 754 of the Code.

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES 

SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Issuer and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Seller shall be the
sole beneficiary of the Issuer, and upon the issuance of the Certificates, the Seller will no longer be a beneficiary of the Issuer, except to the extent that the Seller is a Certificateholder. 

SECTION 3.2. Authorization of the Certificates. Concurrently with the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, at the direction of the Seller, (a) one or more Book-Entry Certificates shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar in the name of
Cede & Co. or (b) one or more Definitive Certificates shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the written order of the Seller. The
Certificates shall in the aggregate represent 100% of the Percentage Interest in the Issuer and shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The signature of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile. 

SECTION 3.3. Book-Entry Certificates. 

(a)    The Certificates, upon original issuance, may be issued, substantially in the form of Exhibit
A hereto, representing the Certificates to be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, as initial agent for the Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal principal amount
of $100,000 (which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of 100,000 units), and all beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be owned, in the minimum principal amount of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The
Issuer shall not issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units, without the prior written consent of all Certificateholders. No distributions of moneys to the
Certificateholders under the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to reduce the nominal principal amount of any Certificate prior to payment in full of all Notes; provided, however, that the final aggregate $100,000 distributed to the
Certificateholders under the Transaction Documents upon final distribution of the Trust Estate and termination of the Issuer pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall be deemed to repay the aggregate nominal principal amount of the
Certificates in full; provided, further, that any failure to pay in full the nominal principal amount of a Certificate on such final distribution date shall not result in any recourse to, claim against or liability of any Person for
such shortfall. Any amounts payable to the Certificateholders on or in respect of the Certificates under the Transaction Documents shall be paid and allocated to the various Certificateholders ratably based on their respective Percentage Interests.
Unless the Seller directs otherwise pursuant to Section 3.2, such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC as the initial Clearing Agency,
and no Certificateholder will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificateholder’s interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.5. Unless and until definitive, fully registered
Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the applicable Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.5: 

(i) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; 

  

					
		  	6	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Agreement (including the distribution or payment of amounts distributable or payable under the Transaction Documents and the giving of
instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Certificateholders, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners; 

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions
of this Section shall control; 
 (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between or among such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.5, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
payments due under the Transaction Documents with regard to the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; 
 (v)
whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Percentage Interest, the Clearing Agency shall deliver instructions to the Owner
Trustee only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the beneficial interest in the Certificates; 
 (vi) owners of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry
Certificate will not be entitled to have any portion of a Book-Entry Certificate registered in their names and will not be considered to be the Certificate Owners or Certificateholders of any Certificates under this Agreement; and 

(vii) payments on a Book-Entry Certificate will be made to the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, as the registered owner
thereof, and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. 

  

					
		  	7	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (b)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
herein, so long as a Book-Entry Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency, transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with
Section 3.3(a). Subject to clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 3.3(a), transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such Book-Entry Certificate in
whole, but not in part, to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or to a successor of the Clearing Agency or such successor’s nominee. 

In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for one or more Definitive Certificates pursuant to
Section 3.5, such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and with such procedures as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar. 
 SECTION 3.4. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Certificateholders
is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Paying Agent,
as applicable, shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners. 

SECTION 3.5. Definitive Certificates. 

(a)    If (i) the Seller advises the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates, and the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Seller at its option advises the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate Owners and the Certificate Paying Agent of the occurrence of any such event and of
the availability of Definitive Certificates representing the Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by re-registration instructions, the Owner Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates
representing the Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates representing the Certificates, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Paying Agent and the Indenture
Trustee shall recognize such Holders of the Definitive Certificates, as reflected on the Certificate Register, as the applicable Certificateholders. 

  

					
		  	8	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (b)    Subject to the transfer restrictions contained
herein and in the Certificates, any Holder of a Definitive Certificate may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest (subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 3.3 and 3.7) evidenced by such Certificate upon
surrender thereof to the Certificate Registrar accompanied by the documents required by this Section 3.5. Such transfer may be made by a registered Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing
upon surrender of the Certificate to the Certificate Registrar accompanied by (a) a written instrument of transfer in the form of the “Assignment” attached to the Form of Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A and with such
signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require, (b) an executed direction letter regarding registration of such transfer in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, and (c) the documents required by Section 3.7(c) hereof. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the Certificate Register and the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to such
Certificateholder, a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and
deliver to such transferor, a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest and the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferee, a new Certificate
evidencing such transferee’s Percentage Interest. Subsequent to each transfer of a beneficial interest and upon the issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its
customary practices the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat, for all purposes whatsoever (other than as required by
Section 3.7 or under applicable law), the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate without regard to any notice to the contrary. 

Definitive Certificates will not be eligible for clearing or settlement through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream. 

SECTION 3.6. Registration of the Certificates. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an agent of the Issuer, in its capacity as
“Certificate Registrar” (the “Certificate Registrar”) shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in writing by the Certificateholders at the time of such
appointment, a register (the “Certificate Register”) for the registration and transfer of any Certificate. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered (as of the applicable Record Date) as the owner of such Certificate
for the purpose of receiving distributions on such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, a Certificate is not negotiable, and the records maintained by the Certificate Registrar in the Certificate Register
with respect to each Certificate and its related registered owner are intended to cause the Certificates to be issued in registered form, within the meaning of Treasury 

  

					
		  	9	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), and shall record (a) the Percentage Interest evidenced by each Certificate and (b) all distributions made to each
Certificateholder with respect to the Issuer’s assets. The entries in the Certificate Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 3.7. Transfer of the Certificates. 

(a)    A Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and
interest in the related Certificate, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7. By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the holder thereof
(and, if the holder is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, and is not purchasing the Certificate (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or Plan that is
subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificate, each Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate
Registrar of the documents required by Section 3.5 and this Section 3.7 and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Definitive Certificate to the Certificate Registrar. Such
transfer may be made by a registered Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon (i) in the case of a Definitive Certificate, surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar accompanied by
(x) a written instrument of transfer in the form of the “Assignment” attached to the Form of Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the
instrument of transfer as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require and (y) an executed direction letter regarding registration of such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) delivery of the documents
required by clause (c) hereof and such other documentation as may be required by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee to comply with Applicable Law (as defined in Section 7.8). No transfer will be
effectuated hereunder by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee unless each of the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required by it hereunder. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and,
in the case of a Definitive Certificate, receipt by the Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the
Certificate Register and, in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. As a
condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.7, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges
required to be paid in connection with such transfer. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such
transferor, a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of a new Definitive Certificate or Definitive Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy
the Definitive Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided under applicable law, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by such Certificate, without regard to any notice to the contrary. 

  

					
		  	10	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (b)    Each Certificateholder and, if different, each
Certificate Owner, shall deliver Tax Information to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent on or prior to the date on which such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner becomes a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner
under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter if such Tax Information becomes incorrect or obsolete, as otherwise prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Owner Trustee, the Administrator or the Certificate Paying Agent. 

(c)    By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), each transferee of a Certificate
(other than a U.S. corporate Affiliate of the Seller, or disregarded entity thereof) shall be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and agreed as follows: 

(1)    It (and any Person for which it holds Certificates as agent or nominee) has neither acquired nor
will it transfer any Certificate it purchases (or any interest therein) or cause any such Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1)
of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations. 

(2)    If it (and any Person for which it holds Certificates as agent or nominee, collectively for
purposes of this paragraph (2), a “transferee”) is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing), it is
not being used with a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Restricted Notes or Certificates to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code. 

(3)    [Reserved.] 

(4)    It (and any Person for which it holds Certificates as agent or nominee) understands that no
subsequent transfer of the Certificates (or any interest therein) is permitted unless such transfer is of a Certificate with a Percentage Interest of more than 5% (or of an interest in a Certificate representing a Percentage Interest of more than
5%). 
 (5)    Each registered owner of and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a
Certificate is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent two properly completed and duly
executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that it is a United States person and not subject to backup withholding, or other information or
documentation requested by the Administrator, the Indenture 

  

					
		  	11	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee to determine, in its sole discretion, that payments on such Certificates will not be subject to withholding under U.S. tax law. Further,
in the event of any subsequent transfer of a Certificate (or any interest therein), such owner of a beneficial interest shall comply with Section 1446(f) of the Code (including with respect to deducting and withholding from the purchase price
paid in respect of such Certificate unless the transferee obtained a certificate providing for an exemption from such withholding). 

(6)    (A) It shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further
information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (B) if it is not the beneficial owner of a Certificate, such
beneficial owner shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any
corresponding provision of state law) and, to the extent the Issuer determines such appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law), hereby appoints the transferee
as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law). 

(7)    No transfer of a Certificate (or interest therein) shall be permitted (nor shall a Certificate be
so held) if (i) it causes the Issuer to be a Section 385 Controlled Partnership (i.e., 80 percent or more of the Issuer’s ownership interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more members of a Section 385
Expanded Group) that has an expanded group partner (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-3(g)(12)) which is a Domestic Corporation and (ii) either (x) a member of such
Section 385 Expanded Group owns any Notes or (y) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such Section 385 Expanded Group owns any Notes (in the case of clause (x), unless such member, or in the case of clause (y), unless each
member of the Section 385 Expanded Group that is a partner in the Section 385 Controlled Partnership, is a member of the consolidated group (as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-1(h))
which includes such Domestic Corporation). No transfer of a Certificate (or interest therein) shall be permitted (nor shall a Certificate be so held) if (i) it results in the Issuer becoming an entity disregarded as separate from a Domestic
Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) either (x) a member of a Section 385 Expanded Group that includes such Domestic Corporation owns any Notes or (y) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such
Section 385 Expanded Group owns any Notes (in the case of clause (x), unless such member, or in the case of clause (y), unless each member of the Section 385 Expanded Group that is a partner in the Section 385 Controlled Partnership,
is a member of the consolidated group (as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-1(h)) which includes such Domestic Corporation). For purposes of determining the Issuer’s ownership interests in
this paragraph, any Restricted Notes shall be taken into account either as debt interests or ownership interests based on whichever treatment, if any, would result in the Issuer as a Section 385 Controlled Partnership or a disregarded entity
for purposes of applying this paragraph’s restriction (it being understood that if the Restricted Notes are taken into account as ownership interests for this purpose then the Restricted Notes are not also considered Notes for the Note
ownership restriction of this paragraph). 

  

					
		  	12	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (8)    It (and any Person for which it holds
Certificates as agent or nominee) understands that any attempted transfer that contravenes any provisions of Section 3.5(b), Section 3.7(c) or Section 3.7(h) shall be a
void transfer ab initio. 
 (9)    The transferee is either (a) an Affiliate of the Seller
or is acquiring its interest in the Certificates as part of the initial distribution or any redistribution of the Certificates by the Seller or one of its Affiliates or (b) (1) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (2) is aware that the sale
of the Certificates (other than a sale of the Certificates by the Seller or any of its Affiliates as part of the initial distribution or any redistributions of the Certificates by the Seller or any of its Affiliates) to it is being made in reliance
on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and (3) is acquiring the Certificates for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and as to each of which the owner exercises sole
investment discretion. 
 (10)    The transferee understands that the Certificates will bear a legend
that complies with Section 3.7(e). 
 (11)    The transferee understands that
the Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, none of the Certificates have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in
the future the transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Certificates, such Certificates may only be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred in accordance with this Trust Agreement. The transferee acknowledges
that no representation is being made by the Issuer as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws for resale of the Certificates. 

(12)    The transferee understands that an investment in the Certificates involves certain risks,
including the risk of loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. The transferee has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the Certificates as it deemed necessary or
appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Certificates. The transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the transferee is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of its investment. 

(13)    The transferee will not make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
other manner, or take any other action that would constitute a distribution of the Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render the disposition of the Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any other
applicable securities laws or require registration pursuant thereto, and will not authorize any Person to act on its behalf, in such manner with respect to the Certificates. 

  

					
		  	13	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (14)    The transferee is not acquiring the
Certificates with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act. 

(15)    The transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in
the Certificates of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in this Trust Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto. 

(16)    The transferee is not acquiring the Certificates (or any interest therein) with the assets of
(a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, that is subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, (c) an entity or account whose underlying assets are deemed to include assets of any of the foregoing or (d) any Plan that is subject to Similar Law. 

(17)    The transferee understands that if (a) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any
Certificate or interest therein was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the Transferor or purported transferee or (b) the Certificateholder of any
Certificate or interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Certificateholder, the Certificate Registrar, upon actual knowledge of such
circumstances, will not register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee
(such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding Certificateholder of such Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Certificateholder thereof
retroactively to the date of the purported transfer of such Certificate by such Certificateholder. 

(18)    The transferee acknowledges that in connection with the transfer of the Certificates (a) none
of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, nor the Owner Trustee is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the transferee, (b) the transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment
decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee other than in the most current offering memorandum for such Certificates
and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such party, (c) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any placement agent has given to the transferee (directly or
indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax,
financial, accounting or otherwise) of its purchase or the documentation for the Certificates, (d) the transferee has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has
deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to this Trust Agreement) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed
necessary and 

  

					
		  	14	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, (e) the transferee has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other
terms of the purchase and sale of the Certificates reflect those in the relevant market for similar transactions, (f) the transferee is purchasing the Certificates with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof
(economic and otherwise), and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) these risks, and (g) the transferee is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to its investment in the Certificates.

 (d)    Each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of Certificates or an interest
therein will be required or deemed to acknowledge that the Issuer may provide any information concerning its investment in the Certificates to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In addition, each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee
of Certificates or an interest therein will be required or deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Issuer and each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent on its behalf has the right, hereunder, to withhold
on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Certificate that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements. 

(e)    Each Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless the Seller
determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law: 
 “THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN AND
WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT

DOCUMENTATION REQUESTED BY THE OWNER TRUSTEE, THE ADMINISTRATOR, THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR THE CERTIFICATE PAYING AGENT TO DETERMINE THAT PAYMENTS ON THIS CERTIFICATE WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO WITHHOLDING UNDER U.S. TAX LAW.” 

(f)    If (1) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate or interest therein was
consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.7 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferor or purported transferee, or (2) the Certificateholder of any Certificate or
interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any Certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Certificateholder, the Certificate Registrar, upon actual knowledge of such circumstances, will
not register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee (such purported
transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding Certificateholder of such Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Certificateholder thereof retroactively to the
date of the purported transfer of such Certificate by such Certificateholder. 
 (g)    If (i) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction that any Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar together with such security or indemnity as may be requested by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificate Registrar to save them harmless, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Issuer, and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, a new Certificate for the same Percentage Interest as the Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, of like tenor and bearing a different issue number, with such notations, if any, as
the Certificate Registrar shall determine. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.7, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee) connected therewith. Any duplicate 

  

					
		  	17	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 
 (h)    No transfer of a
Certificate (or any interest therein) is permitted unless such transfer is of a Certificate with a Percentage Interest of 5% or more (or of an interest in a Certificate representing a Percentage Interest of 5% or more). 

(i)    No transfer of a Certificate (or interest therein) shall be permitted (nor shall a Certificate be so
held) if (i) it causes the Issuer to be a Section 385 Controlled Partnership (i.e., 80 percent or more of the Issuer’s ownership interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more members of a Section 385 Expanded
Group) that has an expanded group partner (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-3(g)(12)) which is a Domestic Corporation and (ii) either (x) a member of such Section 385
Expanded Group owns any Notes or (y) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such Section 385 Expanded Group owns any Notes (in the case of clause (x), unless such member, or in the case of clause (y), unless each member of the
Section 385 Expanded Group that is a partner in the Section 385 Controlled Partnership, is a member of the consolidated group (as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-1(h)) which includes
such Domestic Corporation). No transfer of a Certificate (or interest therein) shall be permitted (nor shall a Certificate be so held) if (i) it results in the Issuer becoming an entity disregarded as separate from a Domestic Corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) either (x) a member of a Section 385 Expanded Group that includes such Domestic Corporation owns any Notes or (y) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such Section 385 Expanded
Group owns any Notes (in the case of clause (x), unless such member, or in the case of clause (y), unless each member of the Section 385 Expanded Group that is a partner in the Section 385 Controlled Partnership, is a member of the
consolidated group (as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-1(h)) which includes such Domestic Corporation). For purposes of determining the Issuer’s ownership interests in this paragraph, any
Restricted Notes shall be taken into account either as debt interests or ownership interests based on whichever treatment, if any, would result in the Issuer as a Section 385 Controlled Partnership or a disregarded entity for purposes of
applying this paragraph’s restriction (it being understood that if the Restricted Notes are taken into account as ownership interests for this purpose then the Restricted Notes are not also considered Notes for the Note ownership restriction of
this paragraph). 
 (j)    In the case of the first transfer of a Certificate that will result in the
Issuer being deemed to have more than one beneficial owner for United States federal income tax purposes, the Seller shall be entitled to request an Initial Certificate Transfer Opinion. 

(k)    The Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Trust Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Certificate (or interest therein) other than to require delivery
of the certificates and other documentation required to be delivered to such party pursuant to Sections 3.5(b) (to the extent that Definitive Certificates are issued) and 3.7(a), and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of this Trust Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 SECTION 3.8. Appointment of the Certificate Paying Agent. To the extent Definitive
Certificates have been issued, the Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions
to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer; provided, however, that no such reports shall be required so long as the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller is the sole Certificateholder. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable
power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Issuer may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion
that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Certificate Paying Agent. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner
Trustee. If Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Issuer shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Issuer shall cause such
successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer to execute and deliver an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the
Issuer that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. If a successor Certificate Paying Agent does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Certificate Paying Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Certificate Paying
Agent, the Administrator, the Seller or the Majority Certificateholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Certificate Paying Agent (with all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees
and expenses, incurred by the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Certificate Paying Agent, in connection with such petition to be paid by the Issuer). The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon
removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The rights, protections, indemnities and immunities of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Sale and
Servicing Agreement shall apply to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its roles as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Relevant Trustee for so long as it shall act as Certificate Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and/or
Relevant Trustee and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 
 SECTION 3.9. Maintenance of Office or
Agency. As long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar for the purposes of 

  

					
		  	19	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
surrendering Certificates for registration or exchange of Certificates, and the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee for all other purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to
the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the applicable Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Certificate Registrar as its agent to
receive all such surrenders, and the Owner Trustee as its agent to receive all such notices and demands. 
 SECTION 3.10. Relevant
Trustee. Following the payment in full of principal of, and interest on, the Notes and receipt of written notification from the Servicer, the Certificate Paying Agent shall assume the role of Relevant Trustee and shall perform the express
obligations of the Relevant Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All of the same rights, protections, indemnities and immunities of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereunder (individually and as Certificate Paying Agent) shall be
equally applicable to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its role as Relevant Trustee under the Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION
3.11. Statement to Certificateholders. To the extent the Certificate Paying Agent has assumed the role of Relevant Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.10; 

(a)    The Certificate Paying Agent may make all reports or notices required to be provided by the Relevant
Trustee under Section 4.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement available via its internet website; provided, however, that the Certificate Paying Agent shall, if requested by the Administrator, deliver any such reports or
notices in writing or via email to the Administrator. Any information that is disseminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.11 shall not be required to be disseminated in any other form or manner. The
Certificate Paying Agent will make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and will assume no responsibility therefor. 

(b)    The Certificate Paying Agent’s internet website shall be initially located at www.ctslink.com
or at such other address as shall be specified by the Certificate Paying Agent from time to time in writing to the Certificateholders, the Servicer, the Issuer or any Paying Agent. In connection with providing access to the Certificate Paying
Agent’s internet website, the Certificate Paying Agent may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Certificate Paying Agent shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. The
Certificate Paying Agent shall notify Certificateholders in writing of any changes in the address or means of access to the website where the reports are accessible. 

(c)    Upon receipt by the Certificate Paying Agent from the Seller of any reports or general loan data,
the Certificate Paying Agent will make such reports or data available to the Certificateholders via its internet website as specified pursuant to clause (b) above; provided, that the Certificate Paying Agent shall not be required to
forward any such reports to any Certificateholder who is the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller. The Certificate Paying Agent shall have no duty or obligations to review, verify or confirm the reports or any information contained therein, and
shall have no liability in connection therewith.

 ARTICLE IV 

ACTIONS BY OWNER TRUSTEE 

SECTION 4.1. Prior Notice to Certificateholders with Respect to Certain Matters. With respect to the following matters,
unless the Administrator notifies the Owner Trustee that the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, provides that the consent of the Certificateholders shall not be required, the Owner Trustee shall not
take action unless at least 10 days before the taking of such action (or if 10 days’ advance notice is impracticable, as much advance notice as is practicable), the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in writing of the
proposed action and within 10 days of such notice (or such shorter time as specified in such notice) none of the Certificateholders shall have notified the Owner Trustee in writing that such Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided
alternative direction: 
 (a)    the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in
circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required; 
 (b)    the amendment of the Indenture
by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders; 

(c)    the amendment, change or modification of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or the Administration
Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or defect or to amend or supplement any provision in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders; or 

(d)    the appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Indenture Trustee or the consent to the
assignment by the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, as applicable. 

SECTION 4.2. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Certain Matters. The Owner Trustee shall not have the power,
except upon the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, to (a) except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, sell the Collateral after the termination of the Indenture in accordance with its terms, (b) remove the
Administrator under the Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 8 thereof or (c) appoint a successor Administrator under the Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 8 thereof. The
Owner Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the Majority Certificateholders. 

SECTION 4.3. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Bankruptcy. 

(a)    The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee and 100% of the
Certificateholders, commence a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer. In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to the 

  

					
		  	21	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Bankruptcy Event by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholders, shall consider the interests of the Noteholders in addition to the interests of the Issuer and
whether the Issuer is insolvent. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Event by the Issuer if the Owner Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Person that requested such letter be
furnished to the Owner Trustee) a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Issuer is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable to any Noteholder or
Certificateholder on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section 4.3 and no Noteholder or Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise
against the Owner Trustee for giving or withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Event. 

(b)    The parties hereto stipulate and agree that no Certificateholder has the power to commence any
Bankruptcy Event on the part of the Issuer or to direct the Owner Trustee to commence any Bankruptcy Event on the part of the Issuer except as provided in Section 4.3(a). 

SECTION 4.4. Restrictions on Certificateholders’ Power. The Certificateholders shall not direct the
Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or would be contrary to
Section 2.3, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given. 
 SECTION 4.5.
Acts of Certificateholders; Majority Control. 
 (a)    Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in
person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Owner Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Article VI) conclusive in favor of the Owner Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 4.5. 
 (b)    The fact and date of the execution by any person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Owner Trustee deems sufficient. 

(c)    The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate Register. 

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

  

					
		  	22	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (e)    Except as otherwise provided herein, to the
extent that there is more than one Certificateholder, any action which may be taken or consent or instructions which may be given by the Certificateholders under this Agreement may be taken by the Majority Certificateholders at the time of such
action. To the extent set forth in Section 9.24(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and subject to Sections 6.3(a) and 7.1 hereof, the Owner Trustee may act at the written direction of one or more
Certificateholders holding in the aggregate less than 50% of the Percentage Interests. To the extent the Owner Trustee is required to act at the direction of Certificateholders other than the Majority Certificateholders, and receives conflicting
directions from Certificateholders holding equal Percentage Interests, it shall act in accordance with the earliest-received such direction; provided, however, if more than one Certificateholder has directed the Owner Trustee in connection with a
request to pursue dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.24(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall act at the direction of the Certificateholders holding the majority of the Percentage Interests held by such directing
Certificateholders. 
 ARTICLE V 

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES 

SECTION 5.1. Application of Trust Funds. Deposits into the Certificate Distribution Account shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. On each Payment Date, to the extent Definitive Certificates have been issued, the Certificate Paying Agent shall withdraw from the Certificate Distribution Account and
distribute to the Certificateholders, pro rata based on the Percentage Interest of each Certificateholder, all funds received in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement. Subject to the lien of the Indenture and

the Certificate Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee in writing. 

  

					
		  	23	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 SECTION 5.3. Tax Matters. 

(a)    The Administrator shall prepare, or, at the request and expense of the Administrator, the Owner
Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and the Administrator shall sign on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer’s tax returns, if any, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder or the Owner Trustee to sign such documents. 

(b)    The Administrator shall prepare and deliver, or, at the request of the Administrator, the
Certificate Paying Agent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule
K-1, if applicable) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its United States federal and state income tax returns. 

(c)    In the event that the Issuer is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes, the Depositor (or a U.S. affiliate of the Depositor if the Depositor is ineligible) is hereby designated as the partnership representative under Section 6223(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) to the extent
allowed under the law (and as the tax matters partner for any applicable state or local tax purposes). The Issuer shall (or the Depositor shall cause the Issuer to, or the Depositor shall instruct the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer to), to
the extent eligible, make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action such as disclosures and
notifications necessary to effectuate such election (including working with the Depositor to designate any designated individual required under the law). If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, to the extent applicable,
the Issuer shall (or the Depositor shall cause the Issuer to, or the Depositor shall instruct the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer to) make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) with
respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary to effectuate such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer, Depositor and
Administrator are each authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election related to Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to
comply with the requirements of the Code and conduct the Issuer’s affairs under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law). Each Certificateholder and, if different, each beneficial owner of a
Certificate, shall promptly provide the Issuer, Depositor and Administrator any requested information, documentation or material to enable the Issuer to make any of the elections described in this clause (c) and otherwise comply with Sections
6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law). Each Certificate Owner and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Certificate shall hold the Issuer and its affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses
(i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Certificate not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) suffered that
are attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or otherwise due to actions it takes with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections
6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law). 

  

					
		  	24	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 SECTION 5.4. Certificate Distribution Account. The Certificate Distribution
Account shall be established as a non-interest bearing trust account pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution
Account shall be held uninvested. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise
provided herein, in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time,
the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Certificate Distribution
Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account. 

SECTION 5.5. Withholding. 

(a)    If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment, distribution or allocation of income
to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.5; provided that the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying
Agent shall not have an obligation to withhold any such amount if and for so long as the Seller or a U.S. Affiliate of the Seller is the sole Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent is hereby
authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed
with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable
with respect to a payment, distribution or allocation of income, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.5.

 (b)    With respect to any and all payments to a Certificateholder, (i) the Certificateholder
will provide to the applicable withholding agent (including the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent), any documentation or certification required or reasonably appropriate for the such withholding agent to satisfy
its obligations with respect to FATCA, if any, and to determine whether any withholding tax may be required to be withheld pursuant to FATCA; and (ii) the Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the applicable withholding agent
(including, if applicable, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent) shall have the 

  

					
		  	25	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
right to deduct and withhold any required U.S. withholding tax, including any withholding tax pursuant to FATCA, on any amounts payable with respect to the Certificates (without any corresponding
gross-up or other indemnification) if any such Certificateholder or beneficial owner either is subject to withholding under FATCA, fails to comply with the documentation requirements in clause (i), or
otherwise fails to establish a complete exemption from such withholding tax to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable withholding agent (including, if applicable, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent). 

SECTION 5.6. Preservation of Information; Communications to Certificateholders. 

(a)    The Certificate Registrar shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the
names and addresses of Certificateholders received in its capacity as the Certificate Registrar and provide a copy thereof to the Owner Trustee and Certificate Paying Agent; provided, however, that so long as the Certificate Paying Agent is the
Certificate Registrar, no list separate from the Certificate Register shall be required to be provided to the Certificate Paying Agent. 

(b)    The Certificateholders may communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of any written request by three or more Certificateholders or by one or more Certificateholders holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the Percentage
Interests to receive a copy of the most current list of Certificateholders together with a copy of the communication that the applicant proposes to send, the Certificate Registrar shall, at the expense of the Issuer, distribute such list to the
requesting Certificateholders; provided, that the Certificate Registrar may elect not to afford the requesting Certificateholders access to the list of Certificateholders if it agrees to mail the desired communication or proxy, on behalf of and at
the expense of the requesting Certificateholders, to all Certificateholders. 
 (c)    The Certificate
Registrar shall promptly give notice to each Certificateholder of any change in the Indenture Trustee’s website pursuant to which the statement pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement is made
available of which it has been provided notice pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 5.7. Rule 144A Information. At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is
not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Certificateholder, the Seller shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such
Certificateholder, to a prospective purchaser of such Certificate designated by such Certificateholder or to the Certificate Registrar for delivery to such Certificateholder or a prospective purchaser designated by such Certificateholder in order to
permit compliance by such Certificateholder with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of such Certificate by such Certificateholder.

Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Transaction Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be
liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement and shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Administrator or any other Person under the Administration Agreement or
any other document. The Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect the Receivables or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Receivables. 

SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction. 

(a)    Subject to Article IV, and in accordance with the Transaction Documents, the
Certificateholders may, by written instruction, direct the Owner Trustee or the Administrator in the management of the Issuer. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article
IV. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any discretionary action to investigate or review any matter without direction from the Majority Certificateholders. Further, with respect to provisions hereunder that provide for instruction
by the Certificateholders, for so long as all outstanding Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates, if the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in writing of a proposed action and within 15 Business

  

					
		  	27	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Days of such notice none of the Certificateholders shall have notified the Owner Trustee in writing that such Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided alternative instruction, the Owner
Trustee, in the place of Certificateholder instruction hereunder, may accept and rely on written instruction of the Administrator. If subsequently the Owner Trustee receives alternative written instruction from the Certificateholders with respect to
such matter, such subsequent instruction shall control unless the Owner Trustee has already acted at the instruction of the Administrator with respect to such matter. 

(b)    The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Transaction
Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined or been advised by counsel that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Transaction Document or is
otherwise contrary to law. 
 (c)    Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative
courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its
application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee
is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, or more than one methodology can be used to make any determination or calculation to be performed by the Owner Trustee hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such
form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted or application of such provision, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in
good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Majority Certificateholders (or, if specifically required hereunder, all Certificateholders) received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any
Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but
shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any action and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee shall be fully protected by the indemnification provisions
applicable to it under this Agreement in connection with any action the Owner Trustee takes or refrains from taking in accordance with this paragraph. 

SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated
hereby to which the Issuer or the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no
implied duties (including fiduciary duties existing at law or in equity) or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for the preparation,
correctness, 

  

					
		  	28	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
accuracy, existence, or filing of any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or the validity, existence, perfection or maintenance of the perfection of any security
interest or lien granted to it or to the Issuer hereunder or under any Transaction Document, nor shall the Owner Trustee have any responsibility to monitor the performance of any collateral, or to prepare or file any tax (subject to
Section 5.3(a)), qualification to do business, license, Commission or other securities law filing, or other regulatory filing or report for the Issuer, or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Wilmington
Trust nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, Wilmington Trust that are not
related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate or the Issuer. 
 SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified
Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3. 

SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the
Owner Trustee, (a) is inconsistent with the purposes of the Issuer set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) would (i) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for United States federal income, state and local
income, franchise and value added tax purposes, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for United States federal income or state income or franchise tax purposes or (iii) cause the Issuer or any portion thereof to be
treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income, state and local income or franchise and value added tax purposes or (c) be contrary to applicable law. None of the
Certificateholders, the Administrator, the Servicer nor the Seller shall direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 6.6.

not a party in its individual capacity. 
 (6)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of
the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (i) require the consent or approval or authorization

 (8)    The Owner Trustee shall not be under any duty to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any investigation, proceeding or litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, at the request, order
or written direction of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to provide to the Owner Trustee, to the extent requested by the Owner Trustee, security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The permissive right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act or exercise any privilege enumerated in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall
not be construed as a duty. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the performance of any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document other than for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in

has received written notice of such fact or event and such notice references the Issuer or this Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual or constructive knowledge of publicly available information or information contained in
monthly distribution reports or other reports delivered under the Transaction Documents. Knowledge or information acquired by Wilmington Trust in its capacity as the Owner Trustee hereunder shall not be imputed to Wilmington Trust in any other role
which it may have under any other Transaction Document or under any other document, nor shall it be imputed to any affiliate, line of business or other division of Wilmington Trust (and vice versa).

 (b)    Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be
personally liable hereunder for any indebtedness of the Issuer.

warrants to the Seller for the benefit of the Certificateholders, that:

obligations under this Agreement.

against the Owner Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship, receivership, liquidation and other similar laws affecting enforcement of the rights of
creditors of banks generally and to equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies. 

(d)    Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment
or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws. 
 SECTION
7.5. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. 
 (a)    The Owner Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall
incur no personal liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed
by the proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any such document provided to the Owner Trustee and need not investigate, evaluate, verify or
re-calculate or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate, information, statement, representation or warranty or any fact of matter stated in any such document and may conclusively rely
as to the truth of the statements, facts (including the correctness of any numbers or calculations) and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or
other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not
specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other Authorized Officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or
matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good 

  

					
		  	33	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
faith in reliance thereon. Prior to taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to request, receive, rely upon and act in accordance with,
officer’s certificates or opinions of counsel provided at the expense of the party requesting the Owner Trustee to take such action or inaction. 

(b)    In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through agents or attorneys, custodians or nominees, but the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the conduct or
misconduct of such agents, custodians, nominees (including Persons acting under a power of attorney) or attorneys selected in good faith and (ii) may consult with and conclusively rely upon the advice of counsel, accountants and other skilled
Persons knowledgeable in the relevant area to be selected in good faith and employed by it at the expense of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with
the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons. 
 (c)    In connection
with the delivery of any information to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer or any other party to the Transaction Documents where the Owner Trustee is required to use such information in connection with the preparation or distribution of reports to
Certificateholders or other parties, the Owner Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy of all such information and shall not be required to investigate or reconfirm its accuracy and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for
any errors, inaccuracies or incorrect information resulting from the use of this information. 
 SECTION 7.6. Not Acting in Individual
Capacity. Except as provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, Wilmington Trust acts solely as the Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner
Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof. 

SECTION 7.7. The Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes. The Owner Trustee may deal with the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Underwriters and their respective Affiliates in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Owner Trustee, and the
Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Underwriters and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relationships with the Owner Trustee and its Affiliates. 

SECTION 7.8. Compliance with Applicable Law. 

(a)    Compliance with Patriot Act. In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive
orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including the Customer Identification Program requirements established under the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required 

  

					
		  	34	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) and its implementing regulations (collectively, USA PATRIOT Act), the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) Customer Due Diligence Requirements and such other laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (“Applicable Law”),
the Owner Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which establish or maintain a business relationship with the Owner Trustee. Accordingly, the Seller shall cause to be provided
to the Owner Trustee, upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available to the Seller in order to enable the Owner Trustee to comply with Applicable Law. 

Pursuant to Applicable Law, the Owner Trustee is required to obtain on or before closing, and from time to time thereafter,
documentation to verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Owner
Trustee will ask for documentation to verify the entity’s formation and existence, its financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the
entity and other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any
such information received from the Depositor with respect to the Issuer. Failure to provide such information may result in an inability of the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder, which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may
result in the Owner Trustee’s resignation in accordance with the terms of Section 10.2 hereof. 

(b)    Compliance with AML Law. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with AML Law, the
Certificate Paying Agent is required to obtain, verify, and record information relating to individuals and entities that establish a business relationship or open an account with the Certificate Paying Agent. Each party hereby agrees that it shall
provide the Certificate Paying Agent with such identifying information and documentation as the Certificate Paying Agent may request from time to time in order to enable the Certificate Paying Agent to comply with all applicable requirements of AML
Law.

SECTION 8.3. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII and the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or the Indenture shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee. 
 ARTICLE IX 

TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT 

SECTION 9.1. Dissolution of Issuer. The Issuer shall wind up and dissolve upon the latest of (1) satisfaction and discharge of the
Indenture, (2) the Optional Purchase of the Trust Estate pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (3) the final distribution from the Collection Account established pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of a Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Issuer, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Issuer or Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto. 
 (a)    Upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer of any dissolution and
termination of the Issuer, specifying the Payment Date upon which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Registrar for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, and if the Certificate Registrar is notified
of a redemption of the Notes by the Administrator or the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Indenture, the Certificate Registrar shall mail such notice to the Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days of
the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of such notice from the Servicer, Issuer or Administrator. Each such notice to a Certificateholder shall state (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates shall
be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date
is not applicable and that payments are being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. The Certificate Registrar shall give such notice to the Owner Trustee (if other
than the Certificate Registrar) and the Certificate Paying Agent (if other than the Certificate Registrar) at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of each Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Paying Agent, at the written direction of the Administrator, shall cause to be distributed to such Certificateholders, subject to Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute, amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to
Article V hereof. 

  

					
		  	37	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (b)    In the event that any of the Certificateholders
shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Registrar shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice any of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate
Registrar may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that
shall remain subject to this Agreement. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any funds remaining in the Trust Estate after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Certificate Paying Agent to the last Certificateholder of record
identified in the Certificate Register for each such remaining Certificate. 
 SECTION 9.2. Termination of Trust Agreement. Upon
dissolution of the Issuer, the Administrator shall wind up the business and affairs of the Issuer as required by Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, and receipt of a certificate
from the Indenture Trustee stating that all Noteholders have been paid in full and that the Indenture Trustee is aware of no claims remaining against the Issuer in respect of the Indenture and the Notes, the Administrator, in the absence of actual
knowledge of any other claim against the Issuer, shall be deemed to have made reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations (including conditional, contingent or unmatured obligations) for purposes of Section 3808(e) of the Statutory

SECTION 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a Person (i) authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and (iii) subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities. If such Person shall publish reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.1, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a Person satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute. In case at any time the
Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 10.2. 

  

					
		  	38	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 SECTION 10.2. Resignation or Removal of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Seller, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller
and the Administrator, acting jointly, shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee which satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 10.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such
successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Transaction Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment. 

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Seller or the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Seller or the Administrator may remove the
Owner Trustee. If the Seller or the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller and the Administrator, acting jointly, shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. 

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 10.2 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees, expenses and indemnities (including any attorneys’ fees and
other legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with any petition for appointment of a successor Owner Trustee) owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Seller shall provide (or shall cause to be provided) notice of such resignation or removal
of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies. 
 SECTION 10.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller, the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its

  

					
		  	39	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as the Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor
Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Seller and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 
 No successor Owner
Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.3 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1. 

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Seller shall mail (or
shall cause to be mailed) notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders, Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each of the Rating Agencies. If the Seller shall fail to mail (or cause to be mailed) such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Seller. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this
Section 10.3 shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

 SECTION 10.4. Merger or Consolidation of the Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner
Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder; provided that
such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1; and provided further that the Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust of the Issuer, if required by applicable law, and mail
notice of such merger or consolidation to the Seller and the Administrator. 
 SECTION 10.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of avoiding conflicts of interests or enforcement actions, meeting any legal requirements of
any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located or other jurisdictional issues, or for such other purposes as may arise, the Seller and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in
such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Seller and the Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Seller shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of
any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3. 

  

					
		  	40	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

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

(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under
this Agreement; and 
 (iii) the Seller and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 
 Any notice, request or other writing given to the
Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and copies thereof given to the Seller and the Administrator. 

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may be located. The Owner Trustee shall not have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to,
and shall not be required to supervise or monitor, any separate trustee or co-trustee duly appointed hereunder unless otherwise expressly required by the instrument of appointment.

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
11.1. Amendments . 
 (a)    Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller
and the Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Administrator, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, any Certificateholder the Issuer or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions: 

(i) the Seller 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 notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. 

(b)    This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee, at the
direction of the Administrator, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary to obtain the consent of the Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent,
but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Depository Agreement. 

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

(d)    Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Section 11.1, the
Seller shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Seller shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating
Agency and the Indenture Trustee; provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent or
the Certificate Registrar without the prior written consent of such Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

					
		  	42	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 (e)    Prior to the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Owner 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 the other
Transaction Documents and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding subsections (a) and
(b) of this Section 11.1, this Agreement may only be amended by the Seller and the Owner Trustee at the direction of the Administrator if (i) the Majority Certificateholders, or, if 100% of the aggregate Percentage
Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander Consumer and/or its Affiliates, such Person (or Persons) consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. In determining whether 100% of the aggregate Percentage Interests is then beneficially owned by Santander
Consumer and/or its Affiliates for purposes of clause (i), any party shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate or similar certification of Santander Consumer or any Affiliate thereof to such effect. 

SECTION 11.2. No Legal Title to Trust Estate in Certificateholders. The Certificateholders shall not have legal title to any
part of the Trust Estate. A Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to its undivided Percentage Interest therein only in accordance with Articles V and IX. No transfer, by operation of law or
otherwise, of any right, title or interest of a Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to
it of legal title to any part of the Trust Estate. 
 SECTION 11.3. Limitations on Rights of Others. The provisions of this Agreement
are solely for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Seller, the Administrator, the Certificateholders and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or
implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Estate or under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein. 

SECTION 11.4. Notices. 

(a)    Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given by telecopy with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof or upon receipt personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested or via electronic transmission,
if to the Owner Trustee or to the Certificate Registrar or Certificate Paying 

  

					
		  	43	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Agent, addressed as specified on Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to
each other party. 
 (b)    Any notice required or permitted to be given to a Certificateholder shall be
given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Certificateholder as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Certificateholder receives such notice. 
 SECTION 11.5.
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 11.6. Separate Counterparts and Electronic Signature. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party
only when executed by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, in each case to the extent applicable; (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or
faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have
no liability with respect to, any electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute only one instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any notice provided for in this
Agreement or any instrument required or permitted to be delivered hereunder, any party hereto receiving or relying upon such notice or instrument shall be entitled to request execution thereof by original manual signature as a condition to the
effectiveness thereof. 
 SECTION 11.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, the Seller, the Owner Trustee and its successors and each Certificateholder and its successors and permitted assigns, all as herein provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument or action
by the Certificateholders shall bind the successors and assigns of the Certificateholders. 
 SECTION 11.8. No Petition. 

(a)    To the fullest extent permitted by law each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity), the
Seller, each Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder or Note Owner by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year and

  

					
		  	44	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties (i) such party shall not authorize any
Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other Proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its
debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an 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 party hereto or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such party shall not commence, join or institute, with any other Person, any
Proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Owner
Trustee authorize, institute or join in any bankruptcy or similar Proceeding described in the preceding sentence other than in accordance with Section 4.3; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prevent the Owner Trustee from filing a proof of claim in any such Proceeding. 
 (b)    The
Seller’s obligations under this Agreement 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, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by entering into or accepting this Agreement, each Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee
and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the
agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and each Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets,
or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of
Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be
expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all other obligations and liabilities, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from,
entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of
Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the 

  

					
		  	45	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

 
Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by entering into or accepting this Agreement, each Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee
and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.8 and the terms of this
Section 11.8 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 11.8 will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the
termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.9. Information Request. 

(a)    The Owner Trustee shall provide any information regarding the Issuer in its possession reasonably
requested in writing by the Servicer, the Administrator, 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. 

(b)    It shall be the Administrator’s duty and responsibility, and not the Owner Trustee’s duty
or responsibility, to cause the Issuer to respond to, defend, participate in or otherwise act in connection with any regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry relating in any way to the trust, its assets
or the conduct of its business; provided, that, the Owner Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Administrator and to comply with any reasonable request made by the Administrator for the delivery of information or documents to the
Administrator in the Owner Trustee’s actual possession relating to any such regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry. 

SECTION 11.10. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not
define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 

SECTION 11.12. Waiver of Jury Trial; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

Each of the parties hereto herby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

(a)    submits for itself and its property in any 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 Delaware, the courts of the United States of America for the
District of Delaware and appellate courts from any thereof; 

  

					
		  	46	  	Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (SDART 2021-1)

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

(c)    agrees that service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address determined in accordance with Section 11.4 of this Agreement; 

(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e)    to the extent
permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any Proceeding or counterclaim based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any matter
arising hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 11.13. Form 10-D and Form 10-K Filings. So long as the Seller is filing Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Issuer (i) no later than each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall notify the Seller of any Form 10-D Disclosure Item with respect to the Owner Trustee, together with a description of any such Form 10-D Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Seller and (ii) no later than March 15 of each calendar year, commencing March 15, 2022, the Owner Trustee shall notify the Seller in writing of any affiliations or relationships between the Owner Trustee and any Item 1119 Party;
provided, that no such notification need be made if the affiliations or relationships are unchanged from those provided in the notification in the prior calendar year. 

SECTION 11.14. Form 8-K Filings. So long as the Seller is filing Exchange Act Reports with
respect to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, but in no event later than four (4) Business Days after its occurrence, of any Reportable Event described in clause (e) of the definition thereof with
respect to the Owner Trustee of which a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge (other than a Reportable Event described in clause (e) of the definition thereof as to which the Seller or the Servicer has actual
knowledge). The Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any such event solely to the extent that it relates to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any action taken by the Owner Trustee (and not by someone else on its
behalf) under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.15. Information to Be Provided by the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall provide the
Seller and Santander Consumer with (i) notification, as soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days, of all demands communicated to a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee for the repurchase or replacement of any
Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) promptly upon reasonable request by the Seller or Santander Consumer, any other information reasonably requested by such Person to facilitate
