REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF

EXETER SELECT AUTOMOBILE RECEIVABLES TRUST 2025-1 (“TRANSFEROR”)

Representations and Warranties Regarding the Receivables:

1. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing Security Interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Transferee, which Security Interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien in favor of the Transferee and the Indenture Trustee), claim or encumbrance of any Person.

2. Perfection of Security Interest. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Transferee, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Transferee, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.

3. All Filings Made. The Transferor will cause, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the State of Delaware under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Transferee hereunder. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Transferor in favor of the Transferee in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Transferee.”

4. No Impairment. Other than the security interest granted to the Transferee pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Transferor that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Transferee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Transferor is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it.

5. Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of New York and Delaware.

6. Good Title. Immediately prior to the pledge of the Receivables to the Transferee pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor was the sole owner thereof and had good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transferee shall have good and marketable title to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien.

7. Possession of Original Copy. The Custodian, on behalf of the Transferor, has in its possession or “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC) the original contract (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, the authoritative copy) that constitutes or evidences the Receivable.

8. One Original. There is only one original executed copy (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, one authoritative copy) of each Contract. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each authoritative copy (a) is unique, identifiable and unalterable (other than with the participation of the Custodian in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision) and (b) has been communicated to and is maintained by or on behalf of the Custodian, solely for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.

9. Not an Authoritative Copy. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy are readily identifiable as copies that are not the authoritative copy.

10. Revisions. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the related Receivables have been established in a manner such that (a) all copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be made with the participation of the Custodian and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

11. Pledge or Assignment. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the authoritative copy of each Contract communicated to the Custodian has no marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Custodian.
