Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.

The Indenture Trustee, Citibank, N.A., has provided the information contained in the following five paragraphs for purposes of compliance with Regulation AB.

Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) is acting as Trustee of this ABS transaction. In the ordinary course of business, Citibank is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including in connection with its role as trustee of certain RMBS transactions. Certain of these Citibank as trustee-related matters are disclosed herein.

On June 18, 2014, a civil action was filed against Citibank in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, asserting claims for purported violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action. On the same day, a smaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil action against Citibank in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in state court. In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original state court action. Citibank’s motion to dismiss the federal complaint was fully briefed as of May 13, 2015. On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed all claims as to 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceed as to the other three trusts. ~~That case~~ Subsequently, ~~involving~~plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claims with respect to two of the three ~~remaining~~ trusts. On April 7, is2017, ~~pending~~Citibank filed a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs filed its consolidated opposition brief and cross motion for partial summary judgment on May 22, 2017.

On November 24, 2015, the same investors that brought the federal case brought a new civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York related to 25 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee. This case includes the 24 trusts previously dismissed in the federal action, and one additional trust. The investors assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of New York’s Streit Act. Citibank’s motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of April 15, 2016.4

On ~~August~~November 1924, 2015, the ~~Federal~~same ~~Deposit~~investors ~~Insurance~~that ~~Corporation~~brought ~~(FDIC)~~the asfederal ~~Receiver~~case ~~for~~brought a ~~financial~~new ~~institution filed a~~ civil action ~~against Citibank~~ in the ~~Southern~~Supreme ~~District~~Court of the State of New York~~. This~~ ~~action~~related ~~relates~~ to ~~one~~25 private-label RMBS ~~trust~~trusts for which Citibank ~~formerly~~allegedly ~~served~~serves or did serve as trustee. ~~FDIC~~ This ~~asserts~~case ~~claims~~includes ~~for~~the ~~breach~~24 oftrusts ~~contract,~~previously ~~violation~~dismissed ofin the ~~Streit~~federal ~~Act~~action, and ~~violation~~one additional trust.

Citibank’s ~~Bank,~~motion ~~entities~~to ~~that~~dismiss ~~have~~was ~~also~~fully ~~been~~briefed ~~sued~~as byof ~~FDIC~~April in15, ~~their~~2016.

We await a decision.

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as Receiver for a financial institution filed a civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York. This action relates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served as trustee. FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of the Streit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act. Citibank jointly briefed a motion to dismiss with The Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank, entities that have also been sued by FDIC in their capacity as trustee, and whose cases are also in front of Judge Carter. Defendants’ joint motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of March 22, 2016. On September 30, 2016, the Court granted Citibank’s motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On October 14, 2016, FDIC filed a motion for reargument or relief from judgment from the Court’s dismissal order. On October 25, 2016, the court granted leave for defendants to file an opposition brief. Defendants filed their opposition on November 15, 2016 and Plaintiff filed its reply brief on November 22, 2016. We await a decision from the Court on plaintiff’s motion.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation or the possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Citibank denies liability and continues to vigorously defend against these litigations. Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigations nor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank’s ability to perform its duties as Trustee under the Indenture for this ABS transaction.

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. ~~None of the Assessment Reports or the related Attestation Reports has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicing Parties.~~

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 of noncompliance related to the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii)—certain advances of funds were not made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements for certain transactions within the assessed retail and lease contract servicing platform (the “Platform”).

Specifically, under the transaction agreements for the lease asset-backed securities transactions included in the Platform and subject to specified conditions, NMAC, as Servicer, is required to make advances with respect to the residual value of vehicles after the scheduled maturity of the related leases. Due to an inaccuracy in the Servicer’s reporting system, residual value advances in the lease asset-backed securities transactions included in the Platform were not in some cases made on the required deposit dates. This material instance of noncompliance does not relate to the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K and issued by the Issuer.

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.

Supplemental information to be furnished with Reports Filed Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Act by Registrants which have not Registered Securities Pursuant to Section 12 of the Act.

No annual report, proxy statement, form of proxy or other proxy soliciting material has been sent to securityholders, and the registrant does not presently contemplate sending any such materials subsequent to the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K.
