PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION J(2) THE FOLLOWING SUBSTITUTE
INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-K:



Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB. Significant Obligors of
Pool Assets – Financial Information.



Nothing to report.



Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB. Credit Enhancement and
Other Support, Except for Certain Derivatives Instruments – Financial Information.



Nothing to report.



Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB. Certain Derivatives Instruments
– Financial Information.



Nothing to report.



Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.



There are no legal proceedings pending, or any
proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against the Sponsor, the Depositor, U.S. Bank National Association
(the “Indenture Trustee”), Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Owner Trustee”), Daimler Trust
(the “Titling Trust”), Daimler Title Co. (the “Collateral Agent”), the Issuing Entity, or any other party
contemplated by Item 1117 of Regulation AB or any property thereof, that are material to holders of the Asset Backed Notes
issued by the Issuing Entity (the “Notes”), except to the extent set forth below with respect to the Sponsor and the
Indenture Trustee.



The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) has requested information regarding potential violations of securities laws, including in connection
with issuances of asset-backed securities sponsored by the Sponsor, as a result of nondisclosure of certain Mercedes-Benz diesel
vehicles’ alleged noncompliance with emission standards. In January 2017, the Commission informed the Sponsor that it had
issued a formal order of investigation; the investigation is ongoing. The Sponsor continues to fully cooperate with the Commission.



The Indenture Trustee has provided the information
contained in the following three paragraphs for purposes of compliance with Regulation AB:



Since 2014 various plaintiffs or groups
of plaintiffs, primarily investors, have filed claims against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), in
its capacity as trustee or successor trustee (as 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 Deutsche
Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo. The complaints against U.S. Bank allege the trustee caused
losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers for these RMBS trusts
and assert causes of action based upon the trustee’s purported failure 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 security holders 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 the trustee with respect to multiple trusts as described
above. Previously, U.S. bank disclosed that the most substantial cases were: BlackRock Balanced Capital Portfolio et al v. U.S. Bank
National Association, No. 605204/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (class action alleging claims with respect to approximately 770
trusts) and a companion class action case involving additional trusts (collectively, the “BlackRock cases”). Some of
the trusts implicated in the aforementioned Blackrock cases, as well as other trusts, are involved in actions brought by separate
groups of plaintiffs related to no more than 100 trusts per case.



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. 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





2







losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims
vigorously.



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



The Depositor is an affiliate of Mercedes-Benz
Financial Services USA, which acts as Sponsor, Servicer and Administrator, in that Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA is the
sole equity member of the Depositor.



The Sponsor acts as originator (as contemplated
by Item 1110 of Regulation AB) of the lease assets assigned to the Titling Trust and services the leases. The Issuing Entity
issued the Mercedes-Benz Auto Lease Trust 2018-A asset backed certificates to the Depositor and through this issuance, 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.



The Indenture Trustee is an affiliate of the
Collateral Agent.



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



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 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.



Each of the Sponsor, in its capacity as Servicer,
and the Indenture Trustee (together with the Sponsor in its capacity as Servicer, each, a “Servicing Participant”)
has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function during the reporting period with respect
to the pool assets held by the Issuing Entity. Each Servicing Participant has completed a report on an assessment of compliance
with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) as of December 31,
2018, and for the reporting period, which Reports on Assessment are attached as Exhibits 33.1 and 33.2 to this report on Form 10-K.
In addition, each Servicing Participant has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered
independent public accounting firm on its Report on Assessment. The Attestation Reports are attached as Exhibits 34.1 and 34.2
to this report on Form 10-K. The Report on Assessment prepared by the Indenture Trustee and the Attestation Report provided
by the Indenture Trustee did not identify any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the
Indenture Trustee. The Report on Assessment prepared by the Servicer and the Attestation Report provided by the Servicer did not
identify any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicer.



Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicing Compliance Statement.



The Servicer has completed a statement of compliance
with its obligations under the applicable servicing agreement (a “Compliance Statement”) signed by an authorized officer
of the Servicer. The Compliance Statement is attached as Exhibit 35.1 to this report on Form 10-K.
