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~~ Backed Notes issued by the Issuing Entity (the "“Notes"”), except to the extent set forth below with respect to the Indenture Trustee.

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

~~[Insert~~In USthe last several years, U.S. Bank ~~paragraph]~~ National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and other large financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee or successor trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") trusts. The complaints, primarily filed by investors or investor groups against U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBS trusts. Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon the trustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abide by a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.

In the last several years, U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and other large financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee or successor trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints, primarily filed by investors or investor groups against U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBS trusts. Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon the trustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and 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 it.

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 losses to investors, that it has meritorious defenses, and it has contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously. However, 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.

On March 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteen Delaware statutory trusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities backed by student loans (the “Student Loans”) filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in its capacities as indenture trustee and successor special servicer, and three other institutions in their respective transaction capacities, with respect to the DSTs and the Student Loans. This lawsuit is captioned The National Collegiate Student Loan Master Trust I, et al. v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No. 2018- 0167-JRS (Del. Ch.). (the “NCMSLT Action”). The complaint, ~~which~~as ~~was later~~ amended on June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed as a result of purported misconduct or omissions by the defendants concerning administration of the trusts and special servicing of the ~~student~~Student Loans. Since the filing of the NCMSLT ~~loans~~Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have made assertions against U.S. Bank concerning special servicing that appear to be based on certain allegations made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.

U.S. Bank ~~believes~~has ~~that~~filed ita ~~has~~motion ~~performed~~seeking dismissal of the operative complaint in its ~~obligations~~entirety aswith ~~indenture~~prejudice ~~trustee~~pursuant to Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(1) and ~~special~~12(b)(6) ~~servicer~~or, in ~~good~~the ~~faith~~alternative, a stay of the case while other prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and inthe ~~compliance in~~Student ~~all~~Loans ~~material~~are ~~respects~~litigated. ~~with~~On November 7, 2018, the ~~terms~~Court ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution of the ~~agreements~~first-filed ~~governing~~cases. On January 21, 2020, the ~~DSTs~~Court (entered an order consolidating for pretrial purposes the ~~“Governing~~NCMSLT ~~Agreements”),~~Action and ~~accordingly that~~three other lawsuits pending in the ~~claims~~Delaware Court ~~against~~of itChancery inconcerning the ~~lawsuit~~DSTs ~~are~~and ~~without~~the ~~merit~~Student Loans, which remains pending.

U.S. Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the operative complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, U.S. Bank requested a stay of the case while other prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and the Student Loans are being litigated. On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed cases. 2

U.S. Bank denies liability in the NCMSLT Action and believes it has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer in good faith and in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the agreements governing the DSTs and that it has meritorious defenses. It has contested and intends to continue tocontesting ~~defend~~the ~~this~~plaintiffs’ ~~lawsuit~~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 2019-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, ~~2019~~2020, 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~~ 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 ~~identified~~identify ~~one~~any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicer. In regard to one account, the Servicer failed to send a pre-repo notice within the timeframe required by Servicer policy. The account in question was not part of the assets backing the Notes. In response to the above finding the Servicer has responded that (1) the Servicer follows applicable law in the provision of pre-repo notices, (2) for the account in question, the pre-repo notice was sent four business days late because the Servicer did not document in its portfolio system that approval for repossession had been obtained and (3) the Servicer's procedures have been revised to clarify the requirements for documenting repossession approvals in the Servicer's portfolio system.

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.
