Changes to the Indexation Methodology may only be made (i) upon notice to CMHC and satisfaction of any other conditions specified by CMHC in relation thereto, (ii) if such change constitutes a material change, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, and (iii) if such change is materially prejudicial to the Covered Bondholders, subject to the consent of the Bond Trustee. The Indexation Methodology must at all times comply with the requirements of the CMHC Guide. The primary index used by the Guarantor to determine the market value of a Property is the Teranet-National Bank Regional and Property Type Sub-IndicesTM (the RPT Sub-Indices ). The RPT Sub-Indices are estimated by tracking the observed or registered home prices over time based on property records of public land registries and grouped based on the first three digits of the Property s postal code. A Property must have been sold at least twice in order to be included in the calculation of the RPT Sub-Indices. In areas where sufficient data is available, the RPT Sub-Indices may be further subdivided by property type (all types, singlefamily homes and condominiums), which offers another layer of valuation granularity without compromising the statistical estimation error terms. To the extent necessary, the Teranet-National Bank House Price IndexTM Composite 11 Index (the HPI Composite 11 ) will be used for indexation purposes where the RPT Sub-Indices are not available. The HPI Composite 11 combines the metropolitan areas of Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec and Halifax to form a national composite index. At this time, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan are the only areas relevant to the Covered Bond Portfolio for which the RPT Sub-Indices are not available. For regions where the RPT Sub-Indices are not subdivided by property type, the Guarantor will use the all types sub-index. The RPT Sub-Indices and the HPI Composite 11 are available by subscription at www.housepriceindex.ca. This website and its contents do not form part of this Investor Report. For each Property in the Covered Bond Portfolio, the indexed valuation for a quarter will be determined by multiplying the Original Market Value (as defined in the CMHC Guide) for such Property by the percentage change since the valuation date in the price level for the sub-index in which such Property is located and, if available, also based on the property type. Material risks associated with using the Indexation Methodology include, but are not limited to, the following: the accuracy, adequacy, timeliness and completeness of the indices being relied upon; the consistency in underlying methodology of such indices; the continued availability of the home sale price data provided to Teranet; in the case of Properties outside of the regions covered by the RPT Sub-Indices, the risk that the HPI Composite 11 may not accurately capture unique factors affecting local housing markets; and in the case of Properties located within the regions where the RPT Sub-Indices are not subdivided by property type, the risk that the all-types sub-index may not account for differences in property value changes based on property type.
