STAND-BY GUARANTEED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTRACT

THIS STAND-BY GUARANTEED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTRACT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made on September 30, 2013.

BY AND AMONG:

(1) BMO Covered Bond Guarantor Limited Partnership, a limited partnership established under the laws of the Province of Ontario, by its managing general partner, BMO Covered Bond GP, Inc. (the “Guarantor”);

(2) Bank of Montreal, a bank named in Schedule I to the Bank Act (Canada), as Cash Manager (the “Cash Manager”);

(3) Royal Bank of Canada, a bank named in Schedule I to the Bank Act (Canada), as Stand-By GDA Provider (the “Stand-By GDA Provider”), and as Stand-By Account Bank (the “Stand-By Account Bank”); and

(4) Computershare Trust Company of Canada, a trust company existing under the laws of Canada, acting in its capacity as Bond Trustee (hereinafter the “Bond Trustee”).

WHEREAS:

(A) As part of the transactions contemplated by the Program, the Cash Manager has agreed, pursuant to the cash management agreement dated September 30, 2013 (the “Cash Management Agreement”) by and among the Cash Manager, the Guarantor and the Bond Trustee to provide cash management services in connection with the activities of the Guarantor.

(B) The Stand-By Account Bank has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement, that following service of a Stand-By Account Bank Notice by the Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) the Stand-By Account Bank will activate the Stand-By Transaction Account and the Stand-By GDA Account as interest bearing accounts in the name of the Guarantor or the Bond Trustee, as applicable.

(C) Following service of a Stand-By Account Bank Notice by the Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) or the Bond Trustee, the Stand-By GDA Provider has agreed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to pay interest on the funds standing to the credit of the GDA Account at specified rates determined in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

1.1 The master definitions and construction agreement made between, inter alios, the parties to this Agreement on September 30, 2013 (as the same may be amended, restated and/or

supplemented from time to time, the “Master Definitions and Construction Agreement”) is expressly and specifically incorporated into this Agreement and, accordingly, the expressions defined in the Master Definitions and Construction Agreement (as so amended, varied and/or supplemented) shall, except where the context otherwise requires and save where otherwise defined herein, have the same meanings in this Agreement, including the recitals hereto and this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the interpretation provisions set out in Section 2 of the Master Definitions and Construction Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, this Agreement has the same meaning as Stand-By Guaranteed Deposit Account Contract in the Master Definitions and Construction Agreement.

2. THE STAND-BY GDA ACCOUNT

The Stand-By GDA Provider confirms that on receipt by the Stand-By GDA Provider of a Stand-By Account Bank Notice the Stand-By GDA Account will be opened in its books pursuant to the terms of the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement in the name of the Guarantor, and it agrees to accept on deposit in the Stand-By GDA Account, once the Stand-By GDA Account has been opened, all monies transferred, from time to time, to the Stand-By GDA Account, subject to and upon the terms of this Agreement, the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and the Security Agreement.

3. INTEREST

3.1 Interest shall accrue daily on the Stand-By GDA Balance and shall be paid monthly in arrears on the 10^th Canadian Business Day of each month (or, if such day is not a Canadian Business Day, on the next succeeding Canadian Business Day) at the Stand-By GDA Rate (calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed and a 365 day year) by payment for value on the same day to the Stand-By GDA Account or such other accounts as the Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) shall specify.

3.2 On any day on which interest is payable by the Stand-By GDA Provider under this Agreement, the Stand-By GDA Provider shall pay the amount of interest then due in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds by no later than the close of business (Toronto Time) on that day (or, if such day is not a Canadian Business Day, on the next succeeding Canadian Business Day).

3.3 In the event that a Guarantor Acceleration Notice is served on the Guarantor, then, on the date of such Guarantor Acceleration Notice, the Stand-By GDA Provider shall pay to the Bond Trustee the aggregate of all interest accrued on the Stand-By GDA Account on each day during the month in which such Guarantor Acceleration Notice is served up to (but excluding) the date of such Guarantor Acceleration Notice. As and from the date of such Guarantor Acceleration Notice, the Stand-By GDA Provider shall comply with the directions of the Bond Trustee in relation to the Stand-By GDA Account.

4

4. WITHDRAWALS AND DEPOSITS

4.1 Subject always to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreement, the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement and the Security Agreement, the Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) may on any Canadian Business Day give notice to the Stand-By GDA Provider that it wishes to withdraw on such date all or part of the Stand-By GDA Balance from the Stand-By GDA Account and the Stand-By GDA Provider shall comply with such notice and pay the amount specified in such notice to the account specified therein, provided that if any such notice is received after 12 noon (Toronto Time) on any day it shall be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next following Canadian Business Day.

4.2 The Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) may deposit, or procure the deposit of, sums in the Stand-By GDA Account, to the extent permitted by the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement and the Security Agreement, and the Stand-By GDA Provider agrees to accept and credit to the Stand-By GDA Account such sums in accordance with the other terms hereof.

5. TERMINATION

5.1 Following termination of the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement and/or closing of the Stand-By GDA Account in accordance with the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement, this Agreement will be automatically terminated.

5.2 The Guarantor (or the Cash Manager or the Bond Trustee on its behalf) may (with the prior written consent of the Bond Trustee, which consent shall not be withheld unless the Bond Trustee determines that the termination of this Agreement would be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Covered Bondholders) terminate this Agreement in the event that default is made by the Stand-By GDA Provider in the performance or observance of its covenants and obligations, or a breach by the Stand-By GDA Provider is made of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(e), 6.1(f), 6.1(g), 6.1(i) and 6.1(j).

5.3 Upon any termination or resignation of the Stand-By GDA Provider hereunder or the Stand-By Bank Account Agreement, the Guarantor shall provide notice to CMHC of such termination or resignation and of the Stand-By GDA Provider’s replacement contemporaneously with the earlier of (i) notice of such termination or resignation and replacement to a Rating Agency, (ii) notice of such termination or resignation and replacement being provided to or otherwise made available to Covered Bondholders, and (iii) five (5) Canadian Business Days following such termination or resignation and replacement (unless the replacement Stand-By GDA Provider has yet to be identified at that time, in which case notice of the replacement Stand-By GDA Provider may be provided no later than 10 Canadian Business Days thereafter). Any such notice shall include (if known) the reasons for the termination or resignation of the Stand-By GDA Provider, all information relating to the replacement Stand-By GDA Provider required by the CMHC Guide and the new agreement or a revised and amended copy of this Agreement with the replacement Stand-By GDA Provider.

12. COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (manually, electronically or by facsimile), and by the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement, but all the counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

13. THE BOND TRUSTEE

13.1 If there is any change in the identity of the Bond Trustee, the Guarantor, the Cash Manager and the Stand-By GDA Provider shall execute such documents and take such action as the successor Bond Trustee and the outgoing Bond Trustee may reasonably require for the purpose of vesting in the successor Bond Trustee the rights and obligations of the outgoing Bond Trustee under this Agreement.

13.2 It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that by its execution of this Agreement the Bond Trustee shall not assume or have any of the obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor, the Cash Manager or the Stand-By GDA Provider under this Agreement and that the Bond Trustee has agreed to become a party to this Agreement for the purpose only of taking the benefit of this Agreement and agreeing to amendments to this Agreement pursuant to Section 14. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the rights and powers of the Bond Trustee are governed by the Security Agreement. Any liberty or right which may be exercised or determination which may be made under this Agreement by the Bond Trustee may be exercised or made in the Bond Trustee’s absolute discretion without any obligation to give reasons therefor and the Bond Trustee shall not be responsible for any liability occasioned by so acting but subject always to the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Security Agreement.

14. AMENDMENTS, VARIATION AND WAIVER

14.1 Subject to the terms of the Security Agreement, any amendments to this Agreement will be made only with the prior written consent of each party to this Agreement. No waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by (or by some person duly authorized by) each of the parties. No single or partial exercise of, or failure or delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right.

14.2 Each proposed amendment, variation or waiver of rights under this Agreement that is considered by the Guarantor to be a material amendment, variation or waiver, shall be subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. For certainty, any amendment to (i) a Ratings Trigger provided for in this Agreement that lowers the ratings specified therein, or (ii) the consequences of breaching a Ratings Trigger provided for in this Agreement that makes such consequences less onerous, shall be deemed to be a material amendment. The Guarantor shall deliver notice to the Rating Agencies from time to time of any amendment, variations or waivers in respect of which satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition is not required, provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not constitute a breach of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement.

10

14.3 The Guarantor (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) will deliver notice to CMHC from time to time of any amendment, restatement or waiver with respect to which notice to CMHC is required by the CMHC Guide, provided that failure to deliver such notice will not constitute a breach of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement.

15. NON-PETITION

Each of the parties (other than the Bond Trustee) hereto agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other party in instituting against, the Guarantor, or any general partner of the Guarantor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, for one year and one day after all Covered Bonds have been repaid in full. The foregoing provision will survive the termination of this Agreement by any party hereto.

16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

BMO Covered Bond Guarantor Limited Partnership is a limited partnership formed under the Limited Partnerships Act (Ontario), a limited partner of which is, except as expressly required by law, only liable for any of its liabilities or any of its losses to the extent of the amount that the limited partner has contributed or agreed to contribute to its capital.

17. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

18. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION

Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined by such courts. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may possibly do so, any defence or claim that the Ontario courts are an inconvenient forum for the maintenance or hearing of such action or proceeding.
