13 CEMP Emerging Market 500 Volatility Weighted Index Index Construction Methodology 1. Fundamental: The Index universe begins with all international common stocks domiciled in countries defined as emerging markets then screens for all companies with consistent net positive earnings for four consecutive quarters. 2. Size: The Index identifies up to the 500 largest stocks by market capitalization. 3. Volatility Weighting: The remaining 500 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) over the last 180 trading days compared to the aggregate mean. The Index is reconstituted every March and September. Other Rules The Index may result in less than 500 stocks due to the positive earnings screening. The maximum country weighting is 20% of the Index. If a particular country is over the 20% weighting the smallest stocks by market capitalization in that country are removed and replaced with the next largest stocks from a different country until the weighting for each country is below 20%. If a common stock is acquired due to a merger or acquisition the new stock will remain until the Index is reconstituted, unless the company does not have a positive price to earnings ratio each of the last four consecutive quarters. If the company does not have positive earnings, it will be removed and not replaced.

21 CEMP International 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index Index Construction Methodology The CEMP International 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index is based on the daily price of CEMP International 500 Volatility Weighted Index. Investment Strategy 1. The Index universe begins with all publicly traded stocks domiciled in developed countries outside of the United States then screens for all companies with consistent net positive earnings for four consecutive quarters. 2. The Index identifies up to the 500 largest stocks by market capitalization. 3. The remaining 500 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) over the last 180 trading days compared to the aggregate mean. The Index is reconstituted every March and September. Long/Cash Strategy A. Exit Strategy: Based on the month-end price of the CEMP International 500 Volatility Weighted Index, the Index will liquidate 75% of the securities if the Index has declined -10% from its daily highest value (DHV). B. Reinvestment Strategy: Based on the month-end price, if the Index increases back to or above the -10% decline from its DHV, all securities will be reinvested. The Index would then be fully invested. If the Index declines -20% from its DHV, 25% will be reinvested back into the Index. The Index would then be approximately 50% invested. If the Index declines -30% from its DHV, 25% will be reinvested back into the Index. The Index would then be approximately 75% invested. If the Index declines -40% from its DHV, 25% will be reinvested back into the Index. The Index would then be approximately 100% invested.

23 CEMP U.S. REIT 100 Volatility Weighted Index Index Construction Methodology 1. Fundamental: The Index universe begins with all publicly traded REIT stocks domiciled in the United States, then screens for all companies with consistent net positive earnings for four consecutive quarters. 2. Size: The Index identifies up to the 100 largest U.S. REIT stocks by market capitalization. 3. Volatility Weighting: The remaining 100 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) over the last 180 trading days compared to the aggregate mean. The Index is reconstituted every March and September. Other Rules The Index may result in less than 100 REITs due to the positive earnings screening. The maximum sector weighting is 25% of the Index. If a particular sector is over the 25% weighting the smallest stocks by market capitalization are removed and not replaced until the initial weighting is below 25%. If a common stock is acquired due to a merger or acquisition the new stock will remain until the Index is reconstituted, unless the company does not have a positive price to earnings ratio each of the last four consecutive quarters. If the company does not have positive earnings, it will be removed and not replaced.
