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

The Depositor is an affiliate of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA LLC ("MBFS"), which acts as

Sponsor, Servicer and Administrator, in that MBFS is the sole equity member of the Depositor.

The Sponsor acted as originator (as contemplated by Item 1110 of Regulation AB) of the receivables

owned by the Issuing Entity and services the receivables. The Sponsor is the sole equity member of the Depositor.

The Issuing Entity issued the Mercedes-Benz Auto Receivables Trust 2013-1 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.

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, ~~2014,~~2015 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~~instance of noncompliance with the servicing

~~servicing~~ criteria applicable to the Indenture Trustee. The Report on Assessment prepared by the Servicer and the Attestation

~~Attestation~~ Report provided by the Servicer ~~did~~identified ~~not~~one ~~identify any~~ material ~~instances~~instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria

account was misrouted internally by the Servicer. The responsible employee was coached and the relevant policy

was clarified.
