Nothing to report.

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

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").

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
2012-A asset backed certificates to the Depositor which in turn transferred the certificates to the Sponsor, and
through this issuance and transfer, the Sponsor has acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Issuing Entity;
therefore, the Issuing Entity is an affiliated party of the Sponsor and, indirectly, of the Depositor.

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, 2012 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

{00038992.DOCX}

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. Neither the Indenture Trustee's Report on Assessment nor the Indenture Trustee's
Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the serving criteria applicable to the
Indenture Trustee.

The Servicer complied in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to it, except that:

*

With respect to servicing criterion 1122 (d)(3)(i)(A), certain reports to investors, including those to be filed
with the Commission, were not filed in accordance with time frames and other terms set forth in the
transaction agreements.

MBFS believes that distribution to security holders were not materially impacted as a result of the material instance
of noncompliance noted above. Nevertheless, MBFS is exploring procedural and policy changes to achieve full
compliance with those requirements.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicing Compliance Statement.

The information required by this item is attached as Exhibit 35.1.
