Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.

The Indenture Trustee, U.S. Bank, National Association, has provided the information contained in the following ~~three~~six paragraphs for purposes of compliance with Regulation AB.

~~Since~~In ~~2014~~the ~~various~~last ~~plaintiffs~~several ~~or groups of plaintiffs~~years, ~~primarily~~ ~~investors, have filed claims against~~ U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), and other large financial institutions have been sued in ~~its~~their capacity as trustee or successor trustee ~~(as~~for ~~the case may be) under~~ certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The ~~plaintiffs or plaintiff groups have filed substantially similar~~ complaints ~~against other RMBS trustees~~, ~~including~~primarily ~~Deutsche~~filed ~~Bank,~~by investors ~~Citibank,~~or ~~HSBC,~~investor ~~Bank~~groups ~~of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo. The complaints~~ against U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the ~~trustee~~ trustees caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers ~~for~~to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBS trusts. ~~and~~Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon the ~~trustee~~trustees’s purported ~~failure~~failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, ~~concerning loan quality. The complaints also assert that the trustee failed to~~ notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and ~~that the trustee purportedly failed to~~ abide by a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default. Currently, U.S. Bank is a defendant in multiple actions alleging individual or class action claims against it.

2U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors, that it has meritorious defenses, and it has contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously. However, U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.

~~Currently~~On ~~U.S.~~March 9, ~~Bank~~2018, is a ~~defendant~~law infirm ~~multiple~~purporting ~~actions~~to ~~alleging~~represent ~~individual~~fifteen orDelaware ~~class~~statutory ~~action~~trusts ~~claims against~~ (the ~~trustee~~“DSTs”) ~~with~~that ~~respect~~issued tosecurities backed ~~multiple~~by ~~trusts~~student asloans ~~described above with~~ (the ~~most~~“Student ~~substantial~~Loans”) ~~case~~filed ~~being:~~a ~~BlackRock~~lawsuit ~~Balanced~~in ~~Capital~~the ~~Portfolio~~Delaware etCourt alof v.Chancery against U.S. Bank National Association, ~~No. 605204/2015~~ (N“U.YS. ~~Sup. Ct.~~Bank”) ~~(class~~in ~~action~~its ~~alleging~~capacities as indenture trustee and successor special servicer, and three ~~claims~~other institutions in their respective transaction capacities, with respect to ~~approximately~~the ~~770~~DSTs ~~trusts)~~ and ~~its~~the ~~companion~~Student ~~case~~Loans. ~~BlackRock~~This ~~Core~~lawsuit ~~Bond~~is ~~Portfolio~~captioned The National Collegiate Student Loan Master Trust I, et al. v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No. 142018-cv0167-~~9401~~JRS (SDel.D Ch.~~N.Y.~~). ~~Some~~ ofThe ~~the~~complaint, ~~trusts~~which ~~implicated~~was inlater ~~the~~amended ~~aforementioned~~on ~~Blackrock~~June 15, ~~cases~~2018, asalleged ~~well~~that asthe ~~other~~DSTs ~~trusts,~~have ~~are~~been ~~involved~~harmed inas ~~actions~~a ~~brought~~result byof ~~separate~~purported ~~groups~~misconduct ofor ~~plaintiffs~~omissions ~~related~~by tothe nodefendants concerning ~~more~~administration ~~than~~of ~~100~~the trusts ~~per~~and ~~case~~servicing of the student loans.

~~U.S.~~4 Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

U.S. Bank believes that it has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer in good faith and in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the agreements governing the DSTs (the “Governing Agreements”), and accordingly that the claims against it in the lawsuit are without merit.

U.S. Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the operative complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, U.S. Bank requested a stay of the case while other prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and the Student Loans are being litigated. On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed cases.

U.S. Bank intends to continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB. Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Compliance with applicable Servicing Criteria.

Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (the “(Servicer”) and the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Servicing Parties”) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Issuing Entity. Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to it (each, a “Servicing Assessment Report”), which Servicing Assessment Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicing Parties has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm, which Attestation Reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.

The Servicing Assessment Report and the related Attestation Report completed with respect to the Indenture Trustee do not identify any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Indenture Trustee.

The Servicing Assessment Report for the Servicer and the related Attestation Report have identified a material ~~instance~~instances of noncompliance ~~related~~ ~~to the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(4)(vi)—changes with respect to the terms or status of an obligor’s pool asset (e.g., loan modifications or re-agings) were not made,~~for ~~reviewed and approved by authorized personnel in accordance with~~ the ~~transaction~~2018 ~~agreements~~fiscal ~~and related pool asset documents~~year. ~~This material instance of noncompliance may relate to the receivables underlying the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K and issued by the Issuer.~~

~~Under~~Item ~~the transaction agreements for retail and lease asset-backed securities in transactions included in the assessed retail and lease contract servicing platform~~ 1122(~~the “Platform”~~d),(2)(i) extensions of receivables and lease contracts are required to be made in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices. Certain extensions for receivables and lease contracts were not approved by an employee of the Servicer with the appropriate level of authority and certain receivables and lease contracts received duplicate extensions on the same day due to the processing of duplicate service requests, in each case, not in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices.

3The Servicing Assessment Report for the Servicer and the related Attestation Report have identified a material instance of noncompliance related to the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(2)(i)—payments on pool assets are deposited into the appropriate custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts no more than two business day of receipt, or such other number of days specified in the transaction agreements. This material instance of noncompliance relates to the receivables underlying the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K and issued by the Issuing Entity.

~~The~~Under ~~Servicer~~the ~~has~~transaction ~~corrected~~agreements ~~internal~~for ~~procedures~~retail toand ~~ensure~~lease ~~that~~asset-backed ~~all~~securities ~~extensions~~in ~~are~~transactions ~~made~~included in the ~~accordance~~assessed ~~with~~retail ~~the~~and ~~Servicer’s~~lease ~~customary~~contract servicing ~~practices~~platform as(the ~~specified~~“Platform”), inthe Servicer is required to remit to the ~~transaction~~collection ~~agreements.~~account ~~The~~all ~~Servicer~~collections ~~has~~with ~~concluded~~respect ~~that~~to ~~the~~a ~~identified~~receivable ~~material~~or ~~instance~~lease ofcontract, ~~non-compliance~~as ~~did~~applicable, not ~~result~~later than the second inbusiness ~~any~~day ~~material~~after ~~adverse~~identification ~~effect~~thereof. onHowever, ~~noteholders~~a orsingle ~~change~~monthly ~~the~~deposit ~~amount~~is orpermitted ~~timing~~if ofcertain ~~payments~~requirements are met, including a ratings threshold with respect to ~~noteholders~~the Servicer (the “monthly remittance condition”).

Under the transaction agreements for the transactions included in the Platform the monthly remittance condition was satisfied for the April 2018 through September 2018 collection periods and the Servicer remitted a single monthly deposit of collections to the collection account in accordance with the terms of the transaction agreements. During the October collection period the monthly remittance condition was no longer satisfied for certain transactions in the Platform and the Servicer continued to remit a single monthly deposit of collections to the collection account for the October 2018 through March 2019 collection periods. After discovery by an officer of the Servicer that the monthly remittance condition was no longer satisfied, the Servicer began remitting all collections to the collection account not later than the second business day after identification thereof and continues to do so.

The Servicer has concluded that the identified material instance of noncompliance did not result in any material adverse effect on noteholders.

Item 1122(d)(4)(xiv)

The Servicing Assessment Report for the Servicer and the related Attestation Report identified an additional material instance of noncompliance related to the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(4)(xiv) – delinquencies, charge-offs and uncollectable accounts are recognized and recorded in accordance with the transaction agreements. This material instance of noncompliance relates to the receivables underlying the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K and issued by the Issuing Entity.

Under the transaction agreements for retail and lease asset-backed securities in transactions included in the Platform, a receivable or lease contract, as applicable, is required to be classified as a “defaulted receivable” or “defaulted lease”, respectively, for purposes of the transaction agreements when, among other things, such receivable or lease contract is delinquent beyond a specified number of days or when the Servicer has determined in accordance with its customary servicing practices that eventual payment in full is unlikely (i.e., charged-off). In certain circumstances, receivables and lease contracts were not charged-off in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices and in other circumstances, receivables and lease contracts were not classified as “defaulted receivables” or “defaulted leases”, respectively, for purposes of the transaction agreements when the applicable receivable or lease contract was delinquent beyond the specified number of days.

The Servicer has supplemented internal procedures and implemented additional oversight to ensure that receivables and lease contracts are charged-off in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices and classified as a “defaulted receivable” or “defaulted lease”, respectively, for purposes of the transaction agreements when such receivable or lease contract is delinquent beyond the number of days specified in the applicable transaction agreements.

The Servicer has concluded that the identified material instance of noncompliance did not result in any material adverse effect on noteholders.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.

The Servicer has provided a statement of compliance for the reporting period, signed by an authorized officer. The Compliance Statement is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.
