Item 6.02. Change of Servicer or Trustee.

Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of January 28,
2022, between U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association
("U.S. Bank N.A."), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a
national banking association ("U.S. Bank Trust Co."), and as a result of
the transfer of substantially all of U.S. Bank N.A.'s corporate trust business
to U.S. Bank Trust Co., effective as of October 17, 2022, U.S. Bank Trust
Co. succeeded U.S. Bank N.A. as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee")
under the pooling and servicing, dated as of June 1, 2013, among Deutsche
Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Midland Loan
Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master
servicer, LNR Partners, LLC as successor to Midland Loan Services, a
Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, U.S.
Bank N.A., as trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as certificate
administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC,
as operating advisor, relating to the COMM 2013-CCRE8 Mortgage Trust filed
as Exhibit 4 to the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
June 13, 2013 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement").  In connection
therewith, U.S. Bank N.A. transferred its duties, rights and liabilities
with such role under the relevant transaction agreements to U.S. Bank
Trust Co.

U.S. Bank N.A. made a strategic decision to reposition its corporate trust
business by transferring substantially all of its corporate trust business to
its affiliate, U.S. Bank Trust Co., a non-depository trust company (U.S.
Bank N.A. and U.S. Bank Trust Co. are collectively referred to herein
as "U.S. Bank.").  Upon U.S. Bank Trust Co.'s succession to the business
of U.S. Bank N.A., it became a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bank N.A.

U.S. Bancorp, with total assets exceeding $591 billion as of June 30, 2022,
is the parent company of U.S. Bank N.A., the fifth largest commercial bank
in the United States.  As of June 30, 2022, U.S. Bancorp operated over 2,200
branch offices in 26 states. A network of specialized U.S. Bancorp offices
across the nation provides a comprehensive line of banking, brokerage, insurance,
investment, mortgage, trust and payment services products to consumers,
businesses, and institutions.

U.S. Bank has one of the largest corporate trust businesses in the country with
office locations in 48 domestic and 2 international cities.  The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will be administered from U.S. Bank's corporate trust office
located at 190 South LaSalle Street, 7th floor, Mail code MK-IL-SL7C,
Chicago, IL 60603.

U.S. Bank has provided corporate trust services since 1924.  As of June 30, 2022,
U.S. Bank was acting as trustee with respect to over 122,000 issuances of
securities with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of over $5.5 trillion.
This portfolio includes corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations.

As of June 30, 2022, U.S. Bank (and its affiliate U.S. Bank Trust National
Association) was acting as trustee on 538 issuances of commercial mortgage-backed
securities with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of
approximately $395,381,100,000.

U.S. Bank N.A. 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 N.A. 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.

U.S. Bank N.A. 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 N.A.
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 N.A. 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, as 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 Loans.  Since the filing of the NCMSLT
Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have made assertions against U.S. Bank N.A.
concerning special servicing that appear to be based on certain allegations made
on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.

U.S. Bank N.A. 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, a stay of the case while other prior filed disputes involving
the DSTs and the Student Loans are litigated.  On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled
that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed
cases.  On January 21, 2020, the Court entered an order consolidating for pretrial
purposes the NCMSLT Action and three other lawsuits pending in the Delaware Court of
Chancery concerning the DSTs and the Student Loans, which remains pending.

U.S. Bank N.A. 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 contesting the
plaintiffs' claims vigorously.
