Ladies and Gentlemen:

As described in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Notes will be issued by Nissan Auto Lease Trust 2011-A, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuing Entity”), formed by the Depositor pursuant to a trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) between the Issuing Entity and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee. Capitalized terms used herein without definition herein have the meanings set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus.

     We hereby confirm that the statements set forth in the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement forming part of the above captioned registration statement under the headings “Summary—Tax Status” and “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences,” to the extent that they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions relating to the federal laws of the United States, have been reviewed by us and are correct in all material respects.
