PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Legal Proceedings.

Citibank, N.A. (the “Indenture Trustee”) has provided the additional information contained in the following three paragraphs for purposes of compliance with Regulation AB.

Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") is acting as Indenture Trustee for Honda Auto Receivables 2012-4 Owner Trust. In the ordinary course of business, Citibank is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including in connection with its role as trustee of certain RMBS transactions. One such proceeding was a civil action filed against Citibank in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on June 18, 2014 by a group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank serves or did serve as trustee, asserting claims for alleged violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank's alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action. On the same day, a smaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in state court. In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs' original state court action. Citibank's motion to dismiss the federal complaint was fully briefed as of May 13, 2015.

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as Receiver for a financial institution filed a civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York. This action relates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served as trustee. FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of the Streit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation or the possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Citibank denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against the litigation. Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigation nor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank's ability to perform its duties as Indenture Trustee under the Indentures for the ABS transactions.
