Item 6.02. Change of Servicer or Trustee.
Pursuant to Section 3.22(b) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2013
(the "PSA"), by and among Deutsche Mortgage &
Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo
Bank"), as Master Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, 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, pursuant to which COMM
2013-CCRE6 Mortgage Trust (the "Issuing Entity")
issued the COMM 2013-CCRE6 Mortgage Trust
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
the Directing Holder, has the right, so long as no
Control Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing, to terminate the rights and obligations
of the Special Servicer under the PSA, with or
without cause, and to appoint a successor Special
Servicer. Capitalized terms used, but not
defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have
the meaning set forth in the PSA.
On March 30, 2017, the Directing Holder delivered
a notice terminating Wells Fargo Bank as Special
Servicer under the PSA and appointing Midland
Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National
Association ("Midland") as the successor Special
Servicer under the PSA (other than with respect
to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans (the Moffett
Towers Mortgage Loan and the 540 West Madison
Street Mortgage Loan) and Rochester Hotel
Portfolio Components). The Trustee notified the
Depositor that such termination and appointment
was effective as of May 31, 2017.
Midland's principal servicing office is located
at 10851 Mastin Street, Building 82, Suite 300,
Overland Park, Kansas 66210.
Midland is a real estate financial services
company that provides loan servicing, asset
management and technology solutions for large
pools of commercial and multifamily real estate
assets. Midland is approved as a master
servicer, special servicer and primary servicer
for investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed
securities ("CMBS") by S&P, Moody's, Fitch,
Morningstar, DBRS, KBRA. Midland has received
the highest rankings as a master and primary
servicer of real estate assets under U.S. CMBS
transactions from S&P, Fitch and Morningstar and
the highest rankings as a special servicer of real
estate assets under U.S. CMBS transactions from
S&P and Morningstar. For each category, S&P ranks
Midland as "Strong" and Morningstar ranks Midland
as "CS1". Fitch ranks Midland as "1" for master
servicer and primary servicer, and "2+" for
special servicer. Midland is also a HUD/FHA-
approved mortgagee and a Fannie Mae-approved
multifamily loan servicer.
Midland has detailed operating procedures across
the various servicing functions to maintain
compliance with its servicing obligations and the
servicing standards under Midland's servicing
agreements, including procedures for managing
delinquent and specially serviced loans. The
policies and procedures are reviewed annually and
centrally managed. Furthermore Midland's
disaster recovery plan is reviewed annually.
Midland will not have primary responsibility for
custody services of original documents evidencing
the Mortgage Loans. Midland may from time to time
have custody of certain of such documents as
necessary for enforcement actions involving
particular Mortgage Loans or otherwise. To the
extent that Midland has custody of any such
documents for any such servicing purposes, such
documents will be maintained in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard.
No securitization transaction involving
commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which
Midland was acting as master servicer, primary
servicer or special servicer has experienced a
servicer event of default as a result of any
action or inaction of Midland as master servicer,
primary servicer or special servicer, as
applicable, including as a result of Midland's
failure to comply with the applicable servicing
criteria in connection with any securitization
transaction. Midland has made all advances
required to be made by it under the servicing
agreements on the commercial and multifamily
mortgage loans serviced by Midland in
securitization transactions.
From time-to-time Midland is a party to lawsuits
and other legal proceedings as part of its duties
as a loan servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan
obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary
course of business. Midland does not believe that
any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on its business or its ability to
service loans pursuant to the PSA.
Midland currently maintains an Internet-based
investor reporting system, CMBS Investor
Insight, that contains performance information
at the portfolio, loan and property levels on the
various commercial mortgage-backed securities
transactions that it services. Certificateholders,
prospective transferees of the certificates and other
appropriate parties may obtain access to CMBS
Investor Insight through Midland's website at
www.pnc.com/midland. Midland may require registration
and execution of an access agreement in connection
with providing access to CMBS Investor Insight.
As of March 31, 2017, Midland was master and
primary servicing approximately 29,801 commercial
and multifamily mortgage loans with a principal
balance of approximately $409 billion. The
collateral for such loans is located in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
Guam and Canada. Approximately 9,485 of such
loans, with a total principal balance of
approximately $148 billion, pertain to commercial
and multifamily mortgage-backed securities. The
related loan pools include multifamily, office,
retail, hospitality and other income-producing
properties. As of March 31, 2017, Midland was
named the special servicer in approximately 253
commercial mortgage-backed securities
transactions with an aggregate outstanding
principal balance of approximately $125 billion.
With respect to such commercial mortgage-backed
securities transactions as of such date, Midland
was administering approximately 84 assets with an
outstanding principal balance of approximately
$572 million.
Midland has been servicing mortgage loans in CMBS
transactions since 1992. The table below
contains information on the size of the portfolio
of commercial and multifamily loans and leases in

Midland may enter into one or more arrangements
with the Directing Holder, a Controlling Class
Certificateholder, any directing
certificateholder, any Companion Loan Noteholder,
the other Certificateholders (or an affiliate or
a third-party representative of one or more of
the preceding) or any other person with the right
to appoint or remove and replace the special
servicer to provide for a discount, waiver and/or
revenue sharing with respect to certain of the
special servicer compensation in consideration
of, among other things, Midland's appointment (or
continuance) as special servicer under the PSA
and any related co-lender agreement and
limitations on the right of such person to remove
the special servicer.
PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank") and
its affiliates may use some of the same service
providers (e.g., legal counsel, accountants and
appraisal firms) as are retained on behalf of
COMM 2013-CCRE6 Mortgage Trust, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. In some
cases, fee rates, amounts or discounts may be
offered to PNC Bank and its affiliates by a third
party vendor which differ from those offered to
the trust fund as a result of scheduled or ad hoc
rate changes, differences in the scope, type or
nature of the service or transaction, alternative
fee arrangements, and negotiation by PNC Bank or
its affiliates other than Midland.
Midland does not make any representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of the PSA (other than
as to it being a valid obligation of Midland as
Special Servicer), the Certificates, the Mortgage
Loans, or any related documents.
Midland is not an affiliate of any other party to
the PSA nor the Directing Holder.
A description of the material terms of the PSA
regarding the special servicing of the Mortgage
Loans held by the Trust and the Special
Servicer's duties regarding such Mortgage Loans,
including limitations on the Special Servicer's
liability under the PSA and terms regarding the
Special Servicer's removal, replacement,
resignation or transfer, is included in the
Prospectus Supplement (SEC File Number 333-184376-02)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 7, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) in the
section captioned "The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement." A copy of the PSA has been filed as
Exhibit 4 to the Form 8-K filed by the Trust with
