We have performed the procedures enumerated in Attachment A, which were agreed to and acknowledged as appropriate by the Depositor, Sponsor, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. (collectively, the “Specified Parties”), for the intended purpose of assisting the Specified Parties in evaluating the accuracy of certain information relating to a pool of motor vehicle retail closed-end leases (the “Leases”) and the corresponding leased vehicles and assets relating to the Issuing Entity’s securitization transaction. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all of the items of interest to a user of the report and may not meet the needs of all users of the report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The appropriateness of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties identified in this report. No other party acknowledged the appropriateness of the procedures. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures described in Attachment A, either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and our associated findings are included in Attachment A.

The Depositor is responsible for the Subject Matter, Provided Preliminary Data Files, Source Documents, Approval Type Methodology, Sample Characteristics and the determination of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies that are described herein. We were not requested to perform, and we have not performed, any procedures other than those listed in Attachment A.

Accordingly, we make no representation and express no opinion or conclusion as to (a) the existence of the Preliminary Leases or Leases, (b) questions of legal or tax interpretation or (c) the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of any instructions, assumptions or methodologies provided to us by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, that are described in this report. We undertake no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”).

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
The agreed-upon procedures described in this report were not performed for the purpose of:
| a. | Satisfying any criteria for due diligence published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (a “rating agency”) or |

| ii. | The value of the collateral securing the Leases, |
| iii. | Whether the originator(s) of the Leases complied with federal, state or local laws or regulations or |

Attachment A |
Procedures performed and our associated findings
| 1. | As instructed by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, we appended the information for each Preliminary Lease on the Initial Preliminary Data File with the corresponding approval type (the “Auto Decision”), as shown on the Preliminary Auto Decision Data File. The Initial Preliminary Data File, as adjusted, is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Data File.” |
| 2. | As instructed by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, we randomly selected a sample of 125 Preliminary Leases from the Preliminary Data File (the “Sample Leases”) with a BASE POOL value equal to “1,” as shown on the Preliminary Data File (the “Sample Selection Criteria”). For the purpose of this procedure, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, did not inform us as to the basis for how they determined the number of Sample Leases or the methodology, including the Sample Selection Criteria, they instructed us to use to select the Sample Leases from the Preliminary Data File. |
For the purpose of the procedures described in this report, the 125 Sample Leases are referred to as Sample Lease Numbers 1 through 125.
| 3. | For each Sample Lease, we: |
| a. | Compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, to the corresponding information located in the Source Documents, subject to the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the notes to Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. The Source Document(s) that we were instructed by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, to use for each Sample Characteristic are shown on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. Except for the information shown on Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, all such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
| b. | Observed that the corresponding Contract contained a signature in the lessee signature section of such Contract. We performed no procedures to determine the validity of the signature contained in the lessee signature section of such Contract. |
| c. | Observed that the Sponsor or Nissan-Infiniti LT LLC (“NILT”) (or an entity or subsidiary of NILT) was the named lien holder or owner in the Title, or that the lien holder or owner had assigned the motor vehicle securing the Sample Lease to the Sponsor or NILT (or an entity or subsidiary of NILT), as applicable. |

Notes:
| i. | The lease number Sample Characteristic is for identification purposes only. |
| ii. | For the purpose of comparing the monthly base payment amount and adjusted capitalized cost Sample Characteristics, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to ignore differences of +/- $1.00 or less. |
| iii. | For the purpose of comparing the lease rate (money factor) Sample Characteristic (subject to the additional instruction(s) provided by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note), the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to round the lease rate (money factor), as shown in the Contract, to the fifth decimal place (XX.XXXXX), as applicable. |
For the purpose of comparing the lease rate (money factor) Sample Characteristic, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to ignore differences of +/- 0.00001 or less.
| iv. | The Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, indicated that certain of the System Screen Shots contained account activity that occurred after the Preliminary Cutoff Date. For the purpose of comparing the paid thru date and remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristics, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to only consider account activity shown in the System Screen Shots that occurred on or prior to the Preliminary Cutoff Date. |
| v. | For the purpose of comparing the paid thru date Sample Characteristic, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to use the payment history information, as shown in the System Screen Shots, to determine the paid thru date, subject to the additional instruction(s) provided by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note. |
For the purpose of comparing the paid thru date Sample Characteristic for any Sample Lease where the day of the paid thru date, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, did not match the corresponding information, as shown in the System Screen Shots, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to use the payment history information, as shown in the System Screen Shots, to determine the month and year of the paid thru date and to use the day of the due date, as shown in the Contract, to determine the day of the paid thru date.

For the purpose of comparing the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic for any Sample Lease where the remaining term to maturity, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, did not match the corresponding information, as shown in the System Screen Shots, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to recalculate the remaining term to maturity by subtracting the:
| a. | Number of monthly base payments billed on or prior to the Preliminary Cutoff Date from |
| b. | Original term to maturity, |
both as shown in the System Screen Shots.
| vii. | For the purpose of comparing the approval type Sample Characteristic, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, instructed us to use the System Screen Shots as the Source Document in accordance with the Approval Type Methodology. |
We performed no procedures to determine the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the notes above.
