Dear Mr. Errett:
We are counsel to Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the “Registrant”) in connection with your letter dated September 16, 2013 (the “Comment Letter”), transmitting further comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the above-captioned Forms 10-K and Forms ABS-15G, as amended by the Registrants’ Forms 10-K/A (Amendments No. 1) to such Forms 10-K filed on August 30, 2013 (collectively, the “Filings”). We have reviewed the Comment Letter and the Filings, and we have discussed the comments contained in the Comment Letter with various representatives of the Registrant.
This letter supplements our response letters to you dated August 30, 2013 and October 9, 2013 (together, the “Prior Response Letters”), which resolved item 1 of the Comment Letter. For your convenience, the remaining Staff comments are repeated in italics below, followed by the responses of the Registrant. Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this letter have the meaning given to them in the Prior Response Letters.
Forms 10-K of COMM 2012-CCRE1 Mortgage Trust and COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust
2. | We note your response to the second and third bullet points of comment one. Since the pooling and servicing agreement governing the Crossgates Mall mortgage loan defines how the loan is serviced, which could have an effect on cash flows to investors, please file this pooling and servicing agreement as an exhibit to the Form 10-K. Please also file with the relevant Form 10-K the applicable servicing agreements governing the RiverTown Crossing Mall mortgage loan and the 260 and 261 Madison Avenue mortgage loan. |
Based upon our October 15, 2013 telephone conversation with the Staff, the Registrant is filing amended Reports on Form 10-K/A (Amendments Nos. 2) for the COMM 2012-CCRE1 Mortgage Trust and COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust transactions to incorporate by reference the pooling and servicing agreements governing the Crossgates Mall mortgage loan, the RiverTown Crossings Mall mortgage loan, and the 260 and 261 Madison Avenue mortgage loan.
Additional Amendments
As stated in the Prior Response Letters, we are filing amended Reports on Form 10-K/A (Amendments Nos. 1) with respect to the COMM 2012-CCRE3 Mortgage Trust, the COMM 2012-CCRE4 Mortgage Trust and the COMM 2012-CCRE5 Mortgage Trust transactions to address the issues raised in the Comment Letter and prior comment letters received by the Registrant from the Staff..
Robert Errett, Esq.
October 28, 2013
These amendments include:
· | filing, by incorporating by reference, the pooling and servicing agreements with respect to pari passu loan combinations that are not primarily serviced by the pooling and servicing agreement for the related transaction; |
· | amending the certifications of the Registrant required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(d)/15d-14(d) to follow the specific form and content of Item 601(b)(31)(ii); |
· | with respect to the COMM 2012-CCRE4 Mortgage Trust and the COMM 2012-CCRE5 Mortgage Trust transactions, filing the Notification Letter received from Wells Fargo and the Amended Assessment of Compliance and the related amended accountant’s attestation report from Wells Fargo’s registered public accounting firm for the 2012 reporting period; and |
· | certain other corrective amendments referred to in the Explanatory Note at the end of Part I of each filing. |

3. | We note the revisions that Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. (“Cantor Commercial”) made to its most recent Form ABS-15G filed on July 30, 2013. We note, however, that Cantor Commercial did not provide an affirmative statement that the Form ABS-15G contains all required information.

As requested by the Staff, a copy of Cantor Commercial’s response is attached as Exhibit A.
