SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 13, 2024, among ALLY AUTO RECEIVABLES TRUST 2024-1, as the Issuing Entity (the “Issuing Entity”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Securities Intermediary (the “Securities Intermediary”) and U.S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (the “Secured Party”).

PREAMBLE

Pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2024, by and between the Issuing Entity and the Secured Party (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), the Issuing Entity has granted to the Secured Party, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a first priority security interest in the Designated Accounts and in the Reserve Account Property and all funds on deposit in or other investment property credited to the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account from time to time, including all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Account Property”). The Designated Accounts currently existing under the Indenture are the Reserve Account, the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account maintained and held at the Securities Intermediary by the Issuing Entity, subject to the first priority security interest of the Secured Party for the benefit of the Noteholders in the Designated Accounts granted by the Issuing Entity to the Secured Party to secure payment of the Notes.

The parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to perfect the Secured Party’s security interest in the Designated Accounts by “control,” within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”).

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Defined Terms. Except as otherwise specified herein or if the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in Part I of Appendix A to the Servicing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”), among the Issuing Entity, Ally Auto Assets LLC and Ally Bank. The rules of construction set forth in Part II of Appendix A to the Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

DESIGNATED ACCOUNTS

Section 2.1 Designated Accounts.

(a) The Securities Intermediary represents and warrants to each of the Secured Party and the Issuing Entity that the Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to or interest in the Designated Accounts, except the first priority security interest of the Secured Party in the Designated Accounts for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other claims and interests of the parties referred to in this Agreement. The Securities Intermediary does not have and shall not have in the future, any security interest, lien or right of setoff on or against the Designated Accounts.

(b) The Securities Intermediary, the Issuing Entity and the Secured Party agree that the Securities Intermediary is the securities intermediary and the Issuing Entity is the entitlement holder as to each Account subject to the first priority security interest of the Secured Party.

(c) The Securities Intermediary, the Issuing Entity and the Secured Party agree that all property credited to the Designated Accounts shall be treated as “financial assets” under Article 8 of the UCC.

(d) The Securities Intermediary shall not accept any “entitlement order,” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC, or other instruction regarding the Designated Accounts except from the Secured Party and, subject to Section 3.1(b), the Issuing Entity.

(e) The Securities Intermediary, the Issuing Entity and the Secured Party agree that, with respect to the Designated Accounts, the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC shall be the State of New York.

(f) The Securities Intermediary shall at all times be a “participant” (as such term is defined in the Federal Book-Entry Regulations) in the Federal Reserve System.

ARTICLE III

RIGHTS OF THE SECURED PARTY

Section 3.1 Control of Designated Accounts by Secured Party.

(a) Subject to Section 3.1(b), the Securities Intermediary shall comply with any entitlement order originated by the Secured Party or the Issuing Entity. The Securities Intermediary, the Issuing Entity and the Secured Party agree that the Securities Intermediary shall comply with any entitlement order originated by the Secured Party without further consent of the Issuing Entity.

(b) If the Secured Party notifies the Securities Intermediary that the Secured Party will exercise exclusive control over the Designated Accounts (a “notice of exclusive control”), then the Securities Intermediary shall not comply with any contrary or otherwise inconsistent instructions or other directions concerning the Designated Accounts originated by the Issuing Entity unless and until such notice of exclusive control is withdrawn by the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall only give such notice of exclusive control upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the payment of principal and interest on the Notes in accordance with the Indenture (without the related declaration of acceleration and its consequences having been rescinded or annulled), after expiration of the related period specified in Article V of the Indenture limiting actions in respect of such Event of Default.

Section 3.2 No Control by Issuing Entity or Third Parties Concerning Designated Accounts. The Securities Intermediary shall not comply with any instructions of the Issuing Entity (except to the extent permitted under Section 3.1(b)) concerning the Designated Accounts (including any order that is originated by the Issuing Entity and that would require the Securities Intermediary to make a free delivery of Designated Accounts to the Issuing Entity or any other person). Additionally, the Securities Intermediary shall not agree with any third party (other than the Secured Party) that the Securities Intermediary will comply with orders originated by such third party concerning the Designated Accounts.

-2-

Section 3.3 Perfection of Security Interests in Designated Accounts. It is intended that the first priority security interest of the Secured Party in the Designated Accounts be perfected by control of the Designated Accounts under Sections 8-106(d)(2), 9-106(a) and 9-314(a) of the UCC. In addition, it is intended for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC that (i) the Issuing Entity be deemed to be the related “entitlement holder”, (ii) the Securities Intermediary be deemed to be the related “securities intermediary”, (iii) all such property held by the Securities Intermediary in the Designated Accounts and all rights of the Issuing Entity against the Securities Intermediary arising out of such property, including any free credit balances, be deemed to be “financial assets”, and (iv) the Secured Party be deemed to have “control” of such Designated Accounts under Section 8-106(d)(2) of the UCC with respect to the first priority security interest therein granted to the Secured Party pursuant to the Indenture. With respect to any proceeds of the Account Property that constitute a Deposit Account, it is intended for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC that (i) the Securities Intermediary is the bank with which the Deposit Account is maintained and the Issuing Entity is the bank’s customer with respect to the Deposit Account, and (ii) the Issuing Entity, the Secured Party and the Securities Intermediary agree that the Securities Intermediary will comply with instructions originated by the Secured Party directing disposition of funds in the Deposit Accounts without further consent of the Issuing Entity.

Section 3.4 Notices of Adverse Claims. The Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Secured Party and the Issuing Entity if any other person claims that it has a property interest in the Designated Accounts or that it is a violation of such person’s rights for anyone else to hold, transfer or deal with the Designated Accounts.

The Securities Intermediary may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon notices and communications it believes to be genuine and given by the appropriate party. Except for permitting a withdrawal, delivery or payment in violation of Article III, the Securities Intermediary shall not be liable to the Secured Party or the Issuing Entity for any error of judgment made in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement, nor shall it otherwise be liable under this Agreement except as a result of its own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

Section 5.6 Severability. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Securities or the rights of the holders thereof.

Section 5.10 Concerning the Secured Party. To the extent that the rights, protections and immunities of the Secured Party are not explicitly stated herein, the Secured Party shall enjoy the same rights, protections and immunities afforded to it in the Indenture.

Section 5.11 Indemnification.

(h) The Securities Intermediary shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or any other default under any other Basic Document unless an Authorized Officer of the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge or Intermediary shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such actual knowledge or receipt of such notice, the Securities Intermediary may conclusively assume that none of such events have occurred and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any obligation or duty to determine whether any Event of Default or any other default under any other Basic Document has occurred or is continuing.
