Registration Statement on Form SF-3

Registration Nos. 333-209768 and 333-209768-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Nissan Auto Leasing LLC II (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, in connection with the above-captioned registration statement (such registration statement, together with the exhibits and any amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in connection with the registration by the Company of Asset-Backed Notes (the “Notes”). As described in the Registration Statement, the Notes will be issued from time to time in series, with each series being issued by a common law trust or a statutory trust (each, an “Issuing Entity”) formed by the Company pursuant to a trust agreement (each, a “Trust Agreement”), between the company and a trustee. Each series of Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (each, an “Indenture”), between the related Issuing Entity and an indenture trustee. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

In that regard, we are generally familiar with the proceedings taken or to be taken in connection with the proposed authorization, issuance and sale of any series of Notes and Certificates and have examined and relied upon copies of such statutes, documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including the Registration Statement and, in each case as filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the form of Underwriting Agreement, the form of Indenture (including the form of Notes included as an exhibit thereto) and the form of Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (including the form of Certificate included as an exhibit thereto).

Mayer Brown LLP operates in combination with other Mayer Brown entities with offices in Europe and Asia

and is associated with Tauil & Chequer Advogados, a Brazilian law partnership.

Our opinions expressed herein are limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York and the State of Delaware.
