On June 13, 2013, Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the "Registrant") caused the issuance,
pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of June 1, 2013 (the "Pooling and Servicing

a Division of PNC Bank, National Association ("Midland"), as master servicer and as special servicer,
U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as certificate
administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor

which represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the COMM 2013-CCRE8 Mortgage Trust

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan identified as "The Paramount Building" on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement

combination ("The Paramount Building Loan Combination") that includes The Paramount Building Mortgage Loan
and one other pari passu loan ("The Paramount Building Pari Passu Companion Loan"), which is not an asset
of the Issuing Entity. The Paramount Building Loan Combination, including The Paramount Building Mortgage Loan,

into which The Paramount Building Pari Passu Companion Loan was deposited.  The Paramount Building Mortgage
Loan represented 5.8% of the asset pool of the Issuing Entity as of its cut-off date.

Pursuant to Section 3.22 of the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA, the Directing Holder (as defined in the COMM 2013-CCRE9
PSA), has the right, for so long as no Control Termination Event (as defined in the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA),
has occurred or is continuing, to terminate the existing special servicer at any time, with or without cause,
and appoint a successor special servicer.  A copy of the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA was filed as Exhibit 4.3 to
the Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2014.

In accordance with Section 7.2 of the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA, the current Directing Holderunder the COMM
2013-CCRE9 PSA, removed Midland as special servicer and appointed LNR Partners, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company ("LNR"), as the replacement special servicer under the COMM 2013-CCRE9
PSA. The removal of Midland as special servicer and appointment of LNR as replacement special servicer
under the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA is effective as of January 10, 2020 (the "Effective Date").

This Form 8-K is being filed to record that, effective as of January 10, 2020, The Paramount Building Loan
Combination, including The Paramount Building Mortgage Loan included in the Issuing Entity, is being
serviced pursuant to the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA and will be specially serviced, if necessary, by LNR as
special servicer under the COMM 2013-CCRE9 PSA.
