		3		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

ARTICLE III.

DUTIES OF THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

Section 3.01 Review Scope.

The parties confirm that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not responsible for (a) reviewing the Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties under the Transaction Documents, except as described in this Agreement or (b) determining whether noncompliance with the representations and warranties constitutes a breach of the Eligibility Representations. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the review is not designed to determine why an Obligor is delinquent or the creditworthiness of the Obligor, either at the time of any Asset Review or at the time of origination of the related Receivable. Further, the Asset Review is not designed to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any Test Fail (as defined in Section 3.05).

Section 3.02 Review Notices.

Upon receipt of (i) a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.6(b) of the Indenture and (ii) the Review Materials in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to begin, and may not begin, an Asset Review until the Asset Representations Reviewer receives a Review Notice. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer shall provide the list of Subject Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer in the format selected by the Servicer to the address specified in Section 9.02.

None of the Issuer, Santander Consumer, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to verify whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was required. None of the Issuer, Santander Consumer or the Asset Representations Reviewer is obligated to verify the accuracy or completeness of the list of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer.

Section 3.03 Review Materials.

Each of Santander Consumer and the Servicer will provide reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the Asset Review. Within sixty (60) days of receipt by each of Santander Consumer and the Servicer of the Review Notice, Santander Consumer and the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with the applicable Review Materials for all Subject Receivables in one or more of the following ways, as elected by the party responsible for providing such Review Materials: (i) by providing access to Santander Consumer’s receivables system or the Servicer’s receivables system, either remotely or at one or more of the properties of the applicable party; (ii) by electronic posting of Review Materials to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access; (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at one or more of the properties of the applicable party where the Receivable Files are located; (iv) by sending originals or photocopies of Review Materials to the Asset Representations Reviewer at the address specified in Section 9.02; or (v) in another manner


		4		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

agreed to by the applicable party and the Asset Representations Reviewer. Santander Consumer and the Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials so long as such redaction or removal does not result in a change in the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for any failure of the Review Materials to be accurate and complete, including any failure that results in the Review Materials being misleading in any material respect.

Section 3.04 Missing or Incomplete Review Materials.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Tests for each Eligibility Representation only using documentation that is made available to it. Upon receipt of the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete an initial document inventory to verify there are no systemic documentation errors, including but not limited to consistently missing or incomplete information in the Review Materials with respect to each Subject Receivable. Once the Asset Representations Reviewer has confirmed the majority of the Review Materials have been provided in accordance with Section 3.03, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence the Asset Review. In instances where Review Material is not accessible, clearly unidentifiable, and/or illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will request that Santander Consumer provide, or cause the Servicer to provide, an updated copy of such Review Material. If the Servicer or Santander Consumer has not provided the missing Review Material for a Subject Receivable to the Asset Representations Reviewer within sixty (60) days of notification by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the parties agree that such Subject Receivable will have a Test Incomplete for the related Test(s) and the Review Report will indicate the reason for the Test Incomplete.

Section 3.05 The Asset Review.

For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for each Eligibility Representation. In the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials listed in Exhibit A. For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”), if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”) or if the Test could not be concluded as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials (a “Test Incomplete”).

If a Subject Receivable was included in a prior Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on any such duplicate Subject Receivable unless such Subject Receivable was deemed a Test Incomplete as a result of the failure of the Servicer or Santander Consumer to provide missing Review Materials for such Subject Receivable and Santander Consumer elects to have such Subject Receivable included in the current Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will include the previously reported Test results for any such duplicate Subject Receivable within the Review Report for the current Asset Review.

Section 3.06 Review Period.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review within sixty (60) days of receiving access to the Review Materials in accordance with Section 3.03 (such time period, the “Review Period”); provided, that if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.04, the Review Period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) days.


		5		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

Section 3.07 Review Report.

Within five (5) Business Days following the end of the applicable Review Period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Issuer, Santander Consumer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee with (i) a report (a “Review Report”) specifying for each Subject Receivable whether there was a Test Pass, a Test Fail, a Test Incomplete (as contemplated by Section 3.05) or a Test Complete (as contemplated by Section 3.08) for each Test and Subject Receivable and (ii) the related Review Invoice. The Review Report will include a summary of the findings and conclusions of the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the Asset Review to be included in the Form 10-D for the Issuer for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to forward the Review Report to any Noteholder or any other person.

Section 3.08 Completion of Review for Certain Subject Receivables.

Following the delivery of the list of the Subject Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer (with a copy to Santander Consumer) if a Subject Receivable is paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor or repurchased from the Issuer by Santander Consumer in accordance with the Transaction Documents. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivables and the Asset Review of such Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for the Receivables and the related reason.

Section 3.09 Termination of Review.

If an Asset Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date (including any payment in full as a result of any early redemption of the Notes), Santander Consumer will notify the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten (10) days before that Payment Date. On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report.

Section 3.10 Review and Procedure Limitations.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to determine whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct an Asset Review and may rely on the information in any Review Notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee, (iii) to determine which Receivables are Subject Receivables and may rely on the list of Subject Receivables provided by the Servicer, (iv) to confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (v) other than as specified in Section 3.04, to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials, or (vi) to take any action or to cause any other party to take any action under any of the Transaction Documents to enforce any remedies for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, including any Eligibility Representation.


		6		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall only be required to perform the testing procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A, and shall have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any Subject Receivables or to consider any additional information provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to provide reporting or other information other than the Review Report described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide additional information about any Subject Receivable that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance of an Asset Review.

Section 3.11 Review Systems.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall maintain and utilize an electronic case management system to manage the Tests and to provide systematic control over each step in the Asset Review process and ensure consistency and repeatability for the Tests. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that these systems allow for each Subject Receivable and the related Review Materials to be individually tracked and stored as contemplated by this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain adequate staff that is properly trained to conduct Asset Reviews as required by this Agreement.

Section 3.12 Representatives.

(a) Servicer Representative. The Servicer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its completion of an Asset Review.

(c) Asset Representations Reviewer Representative. The Asset Representations Reviewer will provide reasonable access to one or more designated representatives to respond to reasonable requests and inquiries made by the Servicer, Santander Consumer, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of an Asset Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to respond to requests or inquires, and other than as specified in Section 3.13 shall not respond to requests or inquiries, made by any Person not party to this Agreement other than the Indenture Trustee; provided, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer receives any request or inquiry from a Person not a party to this Agreement, then the Asset Representations Reviewer may inform such Person that they may contact Santander Consumer and/or the Indenture Trustee with respect to such request or inquiry.

Section 3.13 Dispute Resolution.

If a Subject Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer during an Asset Review is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.7 of the Purchase Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable compensation of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the Requesting Party for the dispute resolution and (subject to Section 4.03) will be paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 3.7 of the Purchase Agreement.


		7		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

Section 3.14 Records Retention.

At the expiration of the retention period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Client Records to Santander Consumer, in electronic format or, to the extent held in tangible form, in that form. Upon the return of the Client Records, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to retain such Client Records or to respond to inquiries concerning any Asset Review.

Section 3.15 No Delegation.

The Asset Representations Reviewer may not delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the consent of the Issuer, Santander Consumer and the Servicer.

ARTICLE IV.

PAYMENTS TO ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW

Section 4.01 Annual Fee.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to $5,000 (the “Annual ARR Fee”) during the term of this Agreement, which shall be paid by or on behalf of Santander Consumer within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, with respect to the initial Annual ARR Fee, and within thirty (30) days of the annual anniversary of this Agreement with respect to each subsequent Annual ARR Fee; provided, however, that if the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 6.02, then the Asset Representations Reviewer shall refund to Santander Consumer the portion of the Annual ARR Fee attributable to the portion of the annual period during which Xxxxxxx will no longer act as the Asset Representations Reviewer, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Annual ARR Fee for each day during the annual period is an amount equal to the Annual ARR Fee divided by 365.

The Receiving Party shall be responsible for the breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of like import, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.

(c) Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include, and this Agreement imposes no obligations with respect to, information that:

(i)

is or becomes part of the public domain other than by disclosure by a party in violation of this Agreement;

(ii)

		14		Asset Representations Review Agreement (SDART 2025-1)

(iv)

was obtained from a third party not known after reasonable inquiry to be under a duty of confidentiality.

The foregoing exceptions shall not apply to any PII, which shall remain confidential in all circumstances, except as required or permitted to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, or regulation.

(d) Disclosure by Operation of Law. If either party is requested to disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information under a subpoena, or inquiry issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative agency or legislative body or committee, such party shall (i) to the extent permitted by law, promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and cooperate with such Party on any steps it considers advisable; and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required or deemed advisable, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order, stipulation or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed. Each party shall reimburse the other party for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such party’s effort to comply with this section.

(e) Return of Confidential Information. Upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party provided to it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, (i) the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal and/or regulatory purposes, and (ii) neither party will be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the other party’s Confidential Information in order to purge the other party’s Confidential Information from its archived files; provided further, that any Confidential Information so retained will (x) remain subject to the obligations and restrictions contained in this Agreement, (y) will be maintained in accordance with the retaining party’s document retention policies and procedures, and (z) the retaining party will not use the retained Confidential Information for any other purpose.

(f) Remedies. The parties agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Section by it or its Representatives may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party and that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to restrain any such breach, threatened or actual, without the necessity of posting bond, in addition to any other remedies available to such party at law or in equity.
