*Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain
      Relationships and Related Transactions*




The
      Sponsor originates all of the pool assets owned by the Issuing Entity (in such
      capacity, the “Originator”) and services the pool assets. The Depositor is a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of NMAC (including in its role as originator, servicer
      and sponsor). Through its purchase of the Certificates, the Depositor has
      acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Issuing Entity; therefore, the Issuing
      Entity is an affiliated party of the Depositor and, indirectly, of the Sponsor
      (including in its role as originator and servicer).




The
      Indenture Trustee is not affiliated with any of the Sponsor (including in its
      role as originator and servicer), the Depositor or the Issuing
      Entity.




There
      are
      no significant obligors, external enhancement or support providers, or other
      material parties related to the Notes or Certificates.




In
      addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements,
      transactions or understandings outside the ordinary course of business or on
      terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an
      unrelated party, apart from this asset-backed securities transaction involving
      the issuance of the Notes and Certificates by the Issuing Entity, between the
      Sponsor, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity and any of the parties, or
      affiliates of such parties, mentioned in this Item.




*Item
      1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with applicable Servicing
      Criteria*




(a)  The
      following documents are filed as part of this report.




Exhibit
      No .




33.1  Nissan
      Motor Acceptance Corporation’s Report on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing
      Criteria


33.2  Management’s
      Assertion on Compliance with Regulation AB (Wells Fargo Bank, National
      Association)

      of
      Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Deloitte & Touche
      LLP)


34.2  Report
      of
      Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (KPMG LLP)




The
      Servicer has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing
      Criteria, except for certain instances of technical non-compliance described
      below:




On
      four
      out of seventy-one occasions tested (5.6%), the Servicer did not remit to the
      applicable collection account on the first business day after receipt thereof
      a
      sufficient amount to cover all payments received in respect of the related
      pool
      assets. It did, however, timely deposit an estimated (but insufficient) amount,
      determined in good faith, and remitted the difference no later than the next
      record date. The Servicer believes that no material impact to the
      securityholders resulted from these errors and it is exploring procedural
      changes to achieve full compliance with this requirement going
      forward.
