Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Closing Date On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Santander Consumer does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, contribute and otherwise convey to the Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of Santander Consumer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the Collections after the Cut-Off Date, the Receivable Files and the Related Security relating thereto, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, as evidenced by an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). The sale, transfer, assignment, contribution and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
Transactions at the Closing The closing of the transactions set forth herein (the "Closing") shall take place at York Gate, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, within ten business days after the date on which all conditions to the Closing shall have been satisfied and all legally required regulatory approvals (including the approval of the Controller of Restrictive Trade Practices, which approval shall not include any conditions or restrictions (the “Anti-trust Approval”)) shall have been obtained, or thereafter at such other time, date and place as may be agreed by the Parties (the time and date of the Closing being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”). In the event that the Closing does not take place within 90 days of the Effective Date, each Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement without giving rise to any right or claim by the other Party hereto, excluding claims for breaches of obligations or representations by any Party hereto prior to such termination; provided, however, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3 if such Party's failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement shall have been a principal reason that the Closing shall not have occurred within the 90-day period of the date hereof. At the Closing, the following transactions shall occur, which transactions shall be deemed to take place simultaneously and no transaction shall be deemed to have been completed or any document delivered until all such transactions have been completed and all required documents have been delivered: (1) Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the Purchased Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. (2) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser duly executed irrevocable instructions from the Seller to the broker holding the Purchased Shares or to the holder registered as holding the Purchased Shares with any registration company or otherwise, instructing the electronic transfer of the Purchased Shares to the respective accounts of the Purchaser, as shall be provided to Seller by Purchaser.

Any tax due by Seller with respect to the Seller's sale of the Purchased Shares shall be borne exclusively by the Seller and Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser in the event that any taxing authority requires Purchaser to pay the tax liability of Seller with respect to the sale of the Purchased Shares hereunder. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, promptly following its receipt, any notice, demand or claim it receives from any taxing authority in respect of any tax due with respect to the Seller and its sale of the Purchased Shares. Without derogating from Seller's indemnification obligations as set forth above and the Purchaser's right to timely comply with any requirement made to it by a taxing authority, the Seller shall have the right (at its sole discretion and expense) to directly negotiate and settle any such tax requirement with the relevant taxing authority.
