Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 16, 2018, Santander Drive Auto Receivables LLC (“Santander Drive”) and Santander Consumer USA Inc. (“SC”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with SG Americas Securities, LLC, on behalf of itself and as representative of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for the sale of the following notes to be issued by Drive Auto Receivables Trust 2018-2 (the “Issuer”): the Class A-1 2.45000% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes, the Class A-2 2.64% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes, the Class A-3 2.88% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes, the Class B 3.22% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes, the Class C 3.63% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes and the Class D 4.14% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes (collectively, the “Publicly Registered Notes”).

The Issuer will also issue Class E 0.00% Auto Loan Asset Backed Notes (the “Class E Notes” and collectively with the Publicly Registered Notes, the “Notes”). It is anticipated that the Notes will be issued on May 23, 2018 (the “Closing Date”).

Attached as Exhibit 1.1 is the Underwriting Agreement.

On the Closing Date, SC and Santander Drive will enter into a Purchase Agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which SC will transfer to Santander Drive certain motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans relating to certain new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and vans (the “Receivables”) and related property.

On the Closing Date, the Issuer, SC, as sponsor and servicer, and Clayton Fixed Income Services LLC, as asset representations reviewer, will enter into an Asset Representations Review Agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”), relating to the review of certain representations relating to the Receivables after satisfaction of certain conditions. Also, on the Closing Date, the Issuer will enter into an Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
