	 Procedures: 

  

	 	 (i)
	 In respect of each Selected Investor Report, the Cover Pool Monitor will:

	 at the time of transfer to the Guarantor, one or more payments of principal or interest payable thereunder were in arrears;

  

	 	 (ii)
	 at the time of transfer to the Guarantor, one or more payments of principal or interest (or blended payment(s) of principal and interest) had not
been made in accordance with the terms of the Loan; 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 there is no evidence that the mortgage or hypothecary instrument charging the Property securing such Loan represents a first priority perfected

	 there is evidence of any Loans advanced under the same mortgage or other hypothecary instrument having been insured by CMHC, Canada Guaranty
Mortgage Insurance Company, the Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company of Canada, the PMI Mortgage Insurance Company Canada, any other private mortgage insurer recognized by CMHC for purposes hereof or otherwise identified in the
Protection of Residential Mortgage or Hypothecary Insurance Act (Canada), or any successor to any of them. 

  
 4 

	 2.3
	 Sampling Methodology 

 The Cover Pool Monitor will confirm the sampling methodology used in connection with the matters set out in Section 2.2, including a description of the Sample and populations used, in each case,
accords with the Industry Standard Sampling Size. 
  

	 2.4
	 Confirming Mathematical Accuracy of Asset Coverage Test, Amortization Test and Valuation Calculation 

Using the Selected Investor Report (provided that, for the purposes of any Recalculation Procedures, “Selected
Investor Report” as used in this Section 2.4 shall include any Investor Report required to be tested in accordance with Section 2.8), the Cover Pool Monitor shall do the following and report the findings thereof: 

 

	 	 (a)
	 recalculate the results of the Asset Coverage and/or Amortization Test disclosed in the Selected Investor Report; and 

 

	 	 (b)
	 in connection with the Valuation Calculation disclosed in the Selected Investor Report: 

 

	 	 (i)
	 recalculate such Valuation Calculation; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 enquire of the Cash Manager as to the following whether, in calculating the Present Value for purposes of the Valuation Calculation disclosed in the
Selected Investor Report, expected future cash flows are discounted using (A) the publicly posted mortgage rates or (B) the current market interest rates for mortgage loans with credit risks similar to those of the Performing Eligible
Loans; 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 where the responses to Section 2.4(b)(ii) is (B), enquire of the Cash Manager whether the same discounting methodology has been used as that
used as part of the fair value disclosure in the Issuer’s audited financial statements for the related period; 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 enquire of the Cash Manager as to the determination of the Trading Values of (i) all Substitution Assets, (ii) assets pledged or otherwise
transferred to the Guarantor as collateral for the obligations of the Swap Provider under or pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or a Covered Bond Swap Agreement, and (iii) the Covered Bond liabilities, in each case as used in such
Valuation Calculation; and 

  

	 	 (v)
	 agree the Valuation Calculation to the requirements set forth in Schedule 2 and Section 4.6 of the CMHC Guide.

  
 5 

	 2.5
	 Confirming Accuracy of Pre-Maturity Minimum Ratings, Reserve Fund Required Amount and Related Calculations 

Using the Selected Investor Report (provided that, for the purposes of any Recalculation Procedures, “Selected
Investor Report” as used in this Section 2.5 shall include any Investor Report required to be tested in accordance with Section 2.8) and the ratings of the Issuer received from the Cash Manager in accordance with Section 3.5, the
Cover Pool Monitor will do the following and report the findings thereof: 
  

	 	 (a)
	 determine whether the Issuer no longer maintains all of the Pre-Maturity Minimum Ratings; 

 

	 	 (b)
	 following the determination that the Issuer no longer maintains all of the Pre-Maturity Minimum Ratings, if one or more Series of Hard Bullet
Covered Bonds are outstanding: (i) obtain a schedule from the Issuer computing the amount, if any, required to be credited to the Pre-Maturity Liquidity Ledger with respect to each applicable Calculation Date, (ii) perform recalculation
procedures on the information contained in such schedule, and (iii) enquire of the Issuer as to whether the amount credited to the Pre-Maturity Liquidity Ledger on such Calculation Date is sufficient to comply with the requirements in respect
thereof; 

  

	 	 (c)
	 determine whether, based on the Reserve Fund Required Amount Ratings, the Reserve Fund Required Amount is greater than nil, and, if greater than
nil, (i) obtain from the Issuer a schedule computing the Reserve Fund Required Amount with respect to each applicable Calculation Date, (ii) perform recalculation procedures on the information contained in such schedule, and
(iii) enquire of the Issuer as to whether the amount credited to the Reserve Ledger on such Calculation Date is equal to the Reserve Fund Required Amount. 

 

	 2.6
	 Confirming Accuracy of Latest Valuation Determinations 

 

	 	 (a)
	 The Cover Pool Monitor shall obtain a schedule of the Latest Valuation for each Eligible Loan in respect of the last day of the Calculation Period
to which the Selected Investor Report relates (or, in the case of the Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report to be delivered no later than five Canadian Business Days prior to the First Issue Date, the Selected Investor Report must be for a Calculation
Period ending not more than 45 days prior to the date of the Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report). 

  

	 	 (b)
	 Using the Sample (or another sample of Loans that is of an Industry Standard Sampling Size), inspect that, for each Loan in the relevant sample:

  

	 	 (i)
	 on or before July 1, 2014, the Latest Valuation has been determined by either (i) adjusting the original value given to the related
Property, at least quarterly, to account for subsequent price developments, or (ii) by reference to the original value given to the related Property; and 

  
 6 

	 	 (ii)
	 after July 1, 2014, the Latest Valuation has been determined by adjusting the original value given to the related Property, at least quarterly,
to account for subsequent price developments. 

  

	 2.7
	 Hedging Arrangements and Use of ISDA Documentation 

The Covered Pool Monitor will, for each offering of a series or tranche of Covered Bonds, enquire of the Guarantor whether
(i) at the time of issuance, the Guarantor entered into one or more contracts the purpose or effect of which was to mitigate its risk of financial loss or exposure from fluctuations in interest rates or currency exchange rates affecting, or
which may come to affect, its obligations to make one or more payments, and (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or the Covered Bond Swap Agreement has been documented using ISDA documentation, and, in each case, report the findings of such
enquiries to the Issuer, Guarantor, the Bond Trustee and CMHC in writing. 
  

	 2.8
	 Errors 

  

	 	 (a)
	 If the arithmetic tests conducted by the Cover Pool Monitor in accordance with Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 (the “Recalculation
Procedures”), as applicable, reveal arithmetic errors in the relevant calculations performed by the Cash Manager, the Cover Pool Monitor shall perform the Recalculation Procedures in relation to the Investor Reports in respect of the
Program (i) for the last Calculation Period of each calendar quarter of the preceding year, (ii) for each Calculation Period of the next succeeding year until such Recalculation Procedures demonstrate no arithmetical error for three
consecutive Calculation Periods, and (iii) thereafter, for the last Calculation Period of each remaining calendar quarter in the next succeeding year. 

 

	 	 (b)
	 For every Calculation Period in respect of which the Cover Pool Monitor performs the Recalculation Procedures in accordance with
Section 2.8(a), the Cover Pool Monitor shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Bond Trustee and CMHC a report detailing the results of such Recalculation Procedures, including the factual results of the
Recalculation Procedures applied and any errors found in performing the Recalculation Procedures. 

  

	 2.9
	 Reporting Non-Compliance with CMHC Guide and Other Information 

 

	 	 (a)
	 The Cover Pool Monitor will advise the Issuer, Guarantor, CMHC and the Bond Trustee in writing (a “Non-Compliance Notice”) as soon
as practicable after it has become aware or reasonably believes (as a consequence of, or in the course of, the performance of its obligations under this Agreement) that: (i) the Issuer, the Guarantor and/or the Program are non-compliant with
the requirements of Section 1.4.6, Section 3.6.8(a) and (b), Section 3.6.9(i), and Section 3.6.17 of the CMHC Guide; (ii) the Issuer has failed to provide (or cause to be provided) to the Cover Pool Monitor all books,

reported therein as may be reasonably necessary for CMHC to verify that the Issuer, the Guarantor and/or the Program are in compliance with the items identified in Section 2.9(a). If so requested, the Cover Pool Monitor will report to the

	 Cover Pool Monitor Assumptions 

 Other than in relation to the testing by the Cover Pool Monitor of the arithmetic accuracy of the calculations performed by the Cash Manager in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Cover
Pool Monitor is entitled, in the absence of manifest error, to assume that all information provided to the Cover Pool Monitor in accordance with Article 3 (Provision of Information to the Cover Pool Monitor) is true, correct, complete and not
misleading and is not required to conduct an audit or otherwise take steps to verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information. Furthermore, the Cover Pool Monitor will not be required to confirm whether the information provided to it by
the Cash Manager (i) has been accurately extracted from the sources identified therein or agrees with any underlying accounting or other information, or (ii) is presented in compliance with any relevant accounting or other definitions as
to its elements and composition. 
  

	 2.11

 Nothing in this Agreement precludes the Cover Pool Monitor from taking such steps as are necessary in order to comply with any legal or regulatory requirement or any professional or ethical rules of any
relevant professional body of which the Cover Pool Monitor or any of its partners or employees is, at the time, a member. 
  

	 2.12

	 Reliance on Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report and Other Advice from the Cover Pool Monitor 

Each Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report and any advice the Cover Pool Monitor provides to the Recipients in connection with
this Agreement are for the exclusive use of the Recipients (except as provided in the CMHC Guide) in the context of the Program and is provided subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the CMHC Guide. Each Annual Cover Pool
Monitor Report and such advice should not be used for any other purpose, recited or referred to in any document, copied or made available (in whole or in part) to any person other than the parties to this Agreement or CMHC, without the Cover Pool
Monitor’s prior written express consent, except as provided in the CMHC Guide. The Recipients which are party to this Agreement acknowledge that were they to do so (and without limitation) this could expose the Cover Pool Monitor to a risk that
a third party who otherwise would not have access to any such Annual Cover Pool Monitor Reports or advice might claim to have relied upon such Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report or advice to its detriment and might bring or threaten to bring an
action, claim or proceedings against the Cover Pool Monitor. Save as expressly provided by this Agreement or the CMHC Guide, no person other than the Recipients may rely on any Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report, or any advice and/or information
derived from it. The Cover Pool Monitor has no responsibility or liability to any other party (including, without limitation, any Dealer or Rating Agency) who is shown or gains access to any Annual Cover Pool Monitor Report or advice.

writing. In particular, any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising of any such rights will not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights will not preclude any
other or further exercise of that or any other such right. No act or course of conduct or negotiation on their part or on their behalf will in any way preclude them from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of any

 SCHEDULE 2 

VALUATION CALCULATION 
 The “Valuation Calculation” is equal to the VC Asset Value (as defined below) minus the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the Trading Value of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of
the Covered Bonds as calculated on the relevant Calculation Date. For greater certainty, references in this Schedule to “immediately preceding Calculation Date” and “previous Calculation Date” are to the Calculation Period ending
on the Calculation Date. 
 For the purposes of the Valuation Calculation, the “VC Asset Value” means the
amount calculated as at each Calculation Date as follows: 
 A+B+C+D+E+F 

where, 

A        =        the aggregate “LTV Adjusted
Loan Present Value” of (i) each Loan that is a Performing Eligible Loan, which shall be the lower of (1) the Present Value of the relevant Loan on such Calculation Date, and (2) 80% multiplied by the Latest Valuation relating
to that Loan, and (ii) each Loan that is not a Performing Eligible Loan, which shall be equal to zero 
 minus

 the aggregate sum of the following deemed reductions to the aggregate LTV Adjusted Loan Present Value of the Performing
Eligible Loans in the Portfolio if any of the following occurred during the previous Calculation Period: 
 (1) a Loan or its
Related Security was, in the immediately preceding Calculation Period, in breach of the Loan Representations and Warranties contained in the Mortgage Sale Agreement or subject to any other obligation of the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan and
its Related Security, and in each case the applicable Seller has not repurchased the Loan or Loans of the relevant Borrower and its or their Related Security to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Sale Agreement. In this event, the
aggregate LTV Adjusted Loan Present Value of the Loans in the Portfolio on such Calculation Date will be deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the LTV Adjusted Loan Present Value of the relevant Loan or Loans on such Calculation Date of the
relevant Borrower; and/or 
 (2) a Seller, in any preceding Calculation Period, was in breach of any other material warranty
under the Mortgage Sale Agreement and/or the Servicer was, in any preceding Calculation Period, in breach of a material term of the Servicing Agreement. In this event, the aggregate LTV Adjusted Loan Present Value of the Loans in the Portfolio on
such Calculation Date will be deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the resulting financial loss incurred by the Partnership in the immediately preceding Calculation Period (such financial loss to be calculated by the Cash Manager without
double counting and to be reduced by any amount paid (in cash or in kind) to the Partnership by the applicable Seller to indemnify the Partnership for such financial loss); 

B        =        the aggregate amount of any Principal
Receipts on the Loans and their Related Security up to such Calculation Date (as recorded in the Principal Ledger) which have not been applied as at such Calculation Date to acquire further Loans and their Related Security or otherwise applied in
accordance with Article 6 (Priorities of Payments) of the Guarantor Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents; 

C        =        the aggregate amount of (i) any
Cash Capital Contributions made by the Partners (as recorded in the Capital Account Ledger for each Partner of the Partnership), (ii) proceeds advanced under the Intercompany Loan Agreement or (iii) proceeds from any sale of Selected Loans
which, in each case, have not been applied as at such Calculation Date to acquire further Loans and their Related Security or otherwise applied in accordance with Article 6 (Priorities of Payments) and/or the other Transaction Documents; 

D        =        the Trading Value of any Substitution
Assets; 
 E        =        the balance, if
any, of the Reserve Fund and the Pre-Maturity Liquidity Ledger; and 

F        =        the Trading Value of the Swap
Collateral.

the Related Security pursuant to the Mortgage Sale Agreement. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Servicer shall administer, service and collect the Loans and their Related Security as agent for the Guarantor until

	 	
the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Bond Trustee consents to the appointment of the Servicer on the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement. 

  

	 2.2
	 The Servicer, as agent for the Guarantor (to the extent provided herein), shall perform its duties hereunder with reasonable care and diligence,
using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises in managing, servicing, administering, collecting on and performing similar functions relating to comparable loans that it services for itself or other Persons and in accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy. 

  

	 2.3
	 Without limiting the generality of the authority granted by the appointment of the Servicer, and subject to the other provisions hereof, the
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Guarantor to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf that are necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loans and the Related
Security to the Guarantor, except that the Servicer shall not be required to notify any Person of the Guarantor’s interest therein until the occurrence of a Registered Title Event, to collect all amounts due under any and all Loans, including
executing and delivering, on behalf of the Guarantor and any subsequent assignees, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans or
the Related Security and, after delinquency of any such Loans and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment of such Loans and the Related Security, and adjusting,
settling or compromising the account or payment thereof, to the same extent as the Seller could have done if it owned all such Loans. The Guarantor shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents that are within the
ability of the Guarantor to furnish and which are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder as agent of the Guarantor. 

 

	 2.4
	 Subject to Section 2.5, for the benefit of the Guarantor, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy and its customary servicing procedures used with respect to Loans serviced by the Servicer on its own behalf and on behalf of others, to (a) collect or enforce each Loan and Related Security and any related insurance policy (against the
related Property, Borrower, insurer or otherwise), and (b) liquidate or convert the related Property securing any Loan which is and continues to be a Defaulted Loan and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made with the Borrower for
the collection of delinquent payments thereunder or as to which the Servicer shall have otherwise determined eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer shall, subject to applicable Law, liquidate or convert any real
or immovable property securing such Defaulted Loan within 180 days of the date of the payment default under such Defaulted Loan, unless such Defaulted Loan shall have been paid in full within such 180-day period. The Servicer shall follow such
customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of similar conventional mortgage loan receivables owned or serviced by it, which may include selling the related Property at public or private
sale. 

  

	 2.5
	 If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a right under a Loan or the Related Security on
the grounds that it should not be or is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce rights in respect of the Loan or Related Security, the Guarantor shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take such steps as are
necessary to enforce the Loan or the Related Security. 

  
 2 

	 2.6
	 If the Servicer receives any funds whatsoever arising from the Loans and their Related Security included in the Portfolio which belong to the
Guarantor and are to be paid to the GDA Account (or, if applicable, the Stand-by GDA Account) or to the Cash Manager pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, it will hold such funds in trust for the
Guarantor and shall (a) prior to a downgrade of the ratings of the Servicer by one or more Rating Agencies below the Servicer Deposit Threshold Ratings, transfer such monies on or before the next Guarantor Payment Date (i) at any time
prior to a downgrade of the ratings of the Cash Manager by one or more Rating Agencies below the Cash Management Deposit Ratings or the occurrence of a Covered Bond Guarantee Activation Event, to the Cash Manager, and (ii) at any time following
a downgrade of the ratings of the Cash Manager by one or more Rating Agencies below the Cash Management Deposit Ratings or the occurrence of a Covered Bond Guarantee Activation Event, directly into the GDA Account; and (b) in the event of a
downgrade of the ratings of the Servicer by one or more of the Rating Agencies below the Servicer Deposit Threshold Ratings, transfer such monies (i) at any time prior to a downgrade of the ratings of the Cash Manager by one or more Rating
Agencies below the Cash Management Deposit Ratings or the occurrence of a Covered Bond Guarantee Activation Event, to the Cash Manager, and (ii) at any time following a downgrade of the ratings of the Cash Manager by one or more of the Rating
Agencies below the Cash Management Deposit Ratings or the occurrence of a Covered Bond Guarantee Activation Event, directly into the GDA Account, in either case within two Canadian Business Days of the collection and/or receipt thereof.

  

	 2.7
	 The Servicer shall remit to the relevant Governmental Authority all Taxes collected by it pursuant to the terms of, or in respect of, a Loan, and to
prepare and file all returns and reports related thereto, and the Guarantor shall forthwith remit to the Servicer any amounts paid by a Borrower in respect of Taxes that are paid to the Guarantor. In accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy,
the Servicer will, with respect to any Loan, pay (i) arrears of Taxes or utilities, (ii) costs of repairing, maintaining, insuring or securing the related Property, (iii) costs of liquidating or disposing of such Loan if it becomes a
Defaulted Loan or the related Property, and (iv) any other cost or expense, which the Servicer deems necessary or advisable, acting in a reasonable and prudent manner, to preserve or maintain the realizable value of such Loan or the related
Property.

sub-contracted or delegated part of its obligations hereunder as it may be reasonable for the Guarantor and the Bond Trustee (as appropriate) to request in connection with the ratings of any Covered Bonds
issued under the Program and other matters contemplated by the Program, provided that the Guarantor or the Bond Trustee (as appropriate) shall not make 

  
 10

	 the Servicer’s unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt obligations or its issuer default ratings are downgraded by one or more Rating
Agencies below the Servicer Replacement Threshold Ratings; 

  

	 	 (b)

	 	 (c)
	 the Servicer defaults in the performance or observance of any of its other covenants and obligations under this Agreement which failure in the

receipt by the Servicer of written notice from the Guarantor or the Bond Trustee requiring the default to be remedied, provided however that where the relevant default occurs as a result of a default by any person to whom the Servicer has sub-contracted or delegated part of its obligations hereunder, such default shall not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if, within such period of 20 Canadian Business Days, the Servicer terminates the relevant
sub-contracting or delegation arrangements and takes such steps as the Guarantor and the Bond Trustee may specify to remedy such default or to indemnify the Guarantor against the consequences of such default;
