No Member or Former Member shall have a right to receive a distribution of its undivided interest in the retained earnings, paid-in surplus, undivided profits, or equity reserves of the Bank at any time, including but not limited to, upon withdrawal or termination from Membership, except through a dividend or capital distribution approved by the Board of Directors or as a result of the liquidation of the Bank.

Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective December 14, 2020


			
	


			
	Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2015 [_________2020] Updated August 3, 2015



Any Former Member must purchase and hold sufficient shares of Capital Stock to satisfy its Minimum Stock Retention Requirement.


IV.    Minimum Stock Requirement


A.    Calculation of Minimum Stock Requirement


From time to time, the Board of Directors shall set the Minimum Stock Requirement for Members so that the aggregate of (i) the Minimum Stock Requirements of all Members; (ii) the Minimum Stock Retention Requirements of all Former Members; (iii) other Capital Stock outstanding, and (iv) retained earnings, is sufficient for the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. The Board of Directors shall have a continuing obligation to review and adjust the capital composition of the Bank, including its retained earnings and the Minimum Stock Requirement to ensure that the Bank remains in compliance with its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. Except as set forth in Section IV.A.2.a., each Member shall comply promptly with any such requirement. Subject to Paragraphs B. – D. of this Section IV.,for as long as its Membership continues or a relevant transaction is outstanding, each Member shall hold Capital Stock in an amount equal to:


1.The greater of:


a.The Member’s Membership Stock Requirement, which shall equal 1.00% of the Member’s Membership Asset Value, with each Member’s Membership Stock Requirement subject to

Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective December 14, 2020


			
	


			
	Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2015 [_________2020] Updated August 3, 2015



 a cap equal to $15 million; or


b.The Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement, which shall equal the sum of:


i.    The Member’s Advances Stock Requirement, which shall equal 2.70% of the Member’s outstanding Advances; plus


ii.    The Member’s Letters of Credit Stock Requirement, which shall equal 0.10% of the aggregate notional amount of Letters of Credit issued on behalf of the Member; plus


iii.    The Member’s Member Mortgage Asset Stock Requirement, which shall equal 0.00% of any portion of any mortgage loan sold by the Member and owned by the Bank under a Member Mortgage Asset Program; plus


2.The Member’s Capital Stock Assessment, if any.


The Board of Directors may impose a Capital Stock Assessment only if it determines that the aggregate of (i) the Minimum Stock Requirements of all Members, (ii) the Minimum Stock Retention Requirements of all Former Members, and (iii) its retained earnings will result in, or will be likely to result in, an amount of Total Capital that is not sufficient for the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. The aggregate amount of any Capital Stock Assessment shall not exceed (i) the amount of Capital Stock necessary to enable the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement, plus (ii) the amount of Capital Stock necessary to enable the Bank to meet its Risk Management Policy Minimum.


The amount of each Member’s Capital Stock Assessment shall be determined by allocating among all Members, in proportion to the number of shares of Capital Stock that then constitutes each Member’s Minimum Stock Requirement (specifically excluding any Excess Stock held by any Member or Former Member as of the effective date of the Capital Stock Assessment) before the assessment, the amount of additional Capital Stock necessary to enable the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. The amount of Excess Stock held by any Member as of the effective date of the Capital Stock Assessment shall be allocated toward satisfaction of that Member’s Capital Stock Assessment. 


The Bank shall notify the Finance Agency in writing within two business days following the determination by the Board of Directors to impose a Capital Stock Assessment. 


a.Member Options in the Event of Capital Stock Assessment


In the event that the Board of Directors imposes a Capital Stock Assessment, the Bank shall provide written notice to each Member at least 20 business days prior to the effective date of the Capital Stock Assessment, specifying the amount of additional Capital Stock, if any, that the Member is required to purchase. On the effective date of the Capital Stock Assessment, the Bank shall Issue sufficient additional shares of Capital Stock so that the Member meets its adjusted Minimum Stock Requirement (including its Capital Stock Assessment), and the Bank shall debit the Member’s transaction account with the Bank in the amount of the par value of the additional shares of Capital Stock Issued, except as set forth in this Section IV.A.2.a. In the event that the Member’s transaction account reflects insufficient funds, the Bank may take any of the actions authorized pursuant to the transaction account terms and conditions then in effect.


The Bank shall not Issue Capital Stock to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section IV.A.2. if, at least one business day prior to the date of Issuance:

i.To the extent permitted under the relevant governing agreements between the Bank and the Member (and subject to the payment of any applicable prepayment or termination fee) the Member has reduced the amount of any transactions outstanding between the Bank and the Member, and thereby reduced its Activity-Based Stock Requirement and its Minimum Stock Requirement to a level such that the Member then holds Capital Stock in an amount at least equal to the Member’s adjusted Minimum Stock Requirement (including its Capital Stock Assessment); or


ii.The Member has provided written notice to the Bank not to Issue such Capital Stock, in which case the Member shall not be required to purchase additional Capital Stock to meets its Capital Stock Assessment. Such written notice shall constitute grounds for involuntary termination of Membership, and the Board of Directors shall terminate the Member’s Membership. The Bank may liquidate any Indebtedness of the Former Member in accordance with the relevant governing agreements and applicable Regulations. The Former Member shall have no right to exercise any of the benefits of Membership after the date on which its Membership terminates, other than to receive any dividends attributable to its Capital Stock (subject to the Bank’s lien thereon) through the date of Redemption or Repurchase by the Bank. 


b.Reduction of Capital Stock Assessment


The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency), shall determine when all or any portion of the Capital Stock Issued in accordance with the Capital Stock Assessment is no longer necessary to enable the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. Upon such determination, the Board of Directors shall declare a pro rata reduction in the number of shares of each Member’s Capital Stock Assessment, based upon the number of shares of Capital Stock that are no longer required to enable the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum. The number of shares subtracted from each Member’s Capital Stock Assessment shall immediately be deemed to be Excess Stock of that Member to the extent that the Member otherwise holds sufficient Capital Stock to meet its Minimum Stock Requirement (including any portion of the Capital Stock Assessment continuing in effect).


The Bank, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency) may limit the amount of Capital Stock that any Member may own to that amount necessary for the Member to meet its Minimum Stock Requirement.


B.    Adjustments to Stock Requirements


1.Adjustment to Membership Stock Requirement

	Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2015 [_________2020] Updated August 3, 2015



The Bank shall recalculate each Member’s Membership Stock Requirement annually, using financial data from the prior calendar yearend. In its discretion, the Bank may recalculate any Member’s Membership Stock Requirement more frequently, using the most recently available financial data. The Bank shall also recalculate each Member’s Membership Stock Requirement for any adjustment to the Membership Stock Requirement within the authorized ranges described in Section IV.C.


The Bank shall notify each Member promptly of any adjustment to its Membership Stock Requirement. If the adjustment results in an increase in the Member’s Minimum Stock Requirement, within 15 business days the Bank shall (i) Issue sufficient additional shares of Capital Stock so that the Member meets its Minimum Stock Requirement; and (ii) debit the Member’s transaction account with the Bank in the amount of the par value of the additional shares of Capital Stock Issued. In the event that the Member’s transaction account reflects insufficient funds, the Bank may take any of the actions authorized pursuant to the transaction account terms and conditions then in effect.


2.    Adjustment to Activity-Based Stock Requirement


The Bank shall recalculate each Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement and each Former Member’s Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement at the time of any change in the amount of transactions outstanding between the Bank and the Member or Former Member and at the time of any adjustment to the Activity-Based Stock Requirement within the authorized ranges described in Section IV.C.

In the event that the Member’s transaction account reflects insufficient funds, the Bank may take any of the actions authorized pursuant to the transaction account terms and conditions then in effect.

1.    Conditions Applicable to Redemption


A Member may obtain Redemption of its Capital Stock by providing a written Redemption notice to the Bank, in a form acceptable to the Bank. The Redemption notice must identify the particular shares to be Redeemed, and the identified shares may not be the subject of an outstanding Redemption notice. If the Redemption notice fails to identify the particular shares to be Redeemed, the Member shall be deemed to have requested Redemption of the most recently-purchased shares that are not subject to a pending Redemption notice, followed by the shares most recently acquired in a manner other than by purchase that are not subject to a pending Redemption notice. If the shares identified in the Redemption notice are subject to a pending Redemption notice, the Redemption notice shall be deemed invalid.


2.    Cancellation of Redemption Notice
a.    Cancellation by Member 
A Member may cancel its Redemption notice at any time prior to the expiration of the Redemption Period by providing a written cancellation notice to the Bank. Any Member that cancels its Redemption notice shall pay a fee to the Bank determined as follows:
i.    If the Bank receives the notice of cancellation within 30 months following the Redemption notice, the fee shall be equal to $0.50 multiplied by the number of shares of Capital Stock to which the cancellation notice applies.
ii.    If the Bank receives the notice of cancellation more than 30 months following the Redemption notice, the fee shall be equal to $1.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Capital Stock to which the cancellation notice applies.
b.    Automatic Cancellation of Redemption Notice
The Bank shall not Redeem a Member’s Capital Stock if, following the Redemption, the Member would fail to meet its Minimum Stock Requirement. If, upon expiration of the Redemption Period, the Bank is prevented from Redeeming a Member’s Capital Stock for such reason, the Bank shall attempt the Redemption on each of the five business days following the expiration of the Redemption Period. If at the end of such time the Bank is prevented from Redeeming the Member’s Capital Stock because, following the Redemption, the Member would fail to meet its Minimum Stock Requirement, the Bank shall automatically cancel the Member’s Redemption notice. Such automatic cancellation shall have the same effect as a notice of cancellation provided by the Member to the Bank, and the Member shall pay a fee to the Bank equal to $1.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Capital Stock to which the automatic cancellation applies.
c.Waiver of Cancellation Fee
The Board of Directors may waive a cancellation fee only for bona fide business purposes and only if consistent with the provisions of Section 7(j) of the Act.


			
	


Except as set forth in Sections IX.A.2, IX.D. and XI., and if the Member has complied with the conditions set forth in Section IX.A.1., the Bank shall Redeem the Member’s Capital Stock upon expiration of the Redemption Period.

At such time as determined by the Bank from time to time, the Bank, in its discretion, may Repurchase from a Member any Excess Stock then held by the Member. If the Bank intends to Repurchase Excess Stock from a Member that has submitted a Redemption notice pursuant to Section IX.A.1., before Repurchasing any other Excess Stock of the Member, the Bank shall first Repurchase from that Member the shares of Excess Stock that are subject to a Redemption notice, followed by the most recently-purchased shares of Excess Stock that are not subject to a Redemption notice, followed by the shares of Excess Stock most recently acquired in a manner other than by purchase that are not subject to a Redemption notice.


C.    Continued Benefits of Ownership Prior to Redemption or Repurchase


The Member shall be entitled to receive any dividends attributable to its Capital Stock (subject to the Bank’s lien thereon) through the date of Redemption or Repurchase by the Bank. The Member also shall be entitled to exercise the other benefits associated with ownership of such Capital Stock prior to the date of Redemption or Repurchase.


D.    Limitations on Redemption and Repurchase of Capital Stock


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section IX., if the Finance Agency or the Board of Directors determines that the Bank has incurred or is likely to incur losses that result in, or are likely to result in, charges against Capital Stock that create an other than temporary decline in the Bank’s Total Capital such that the value of Total Capital falls below the Bank’s aggregate amount of Capital Stock, the Bank shall not Redeem or Repurchase any Capital Stock without the prior written approval of the Finance Agency for however long the Bank continues to incur such charges or until the Finance Agency determines that such charges are not expected to continue. The Bank shall not Redeem or Repurchase any Capital Stock if, following the Redemption or Repurchase, the Bank would fail to satisfy its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum or the Member would fail to maintain its Minimum Stock Requirement. Further, the Bank shall not Redeem or Repurchase any Capital Stock if prohibited from doing so by any Regulation or Finance Agency order.
If, upon expiration of the Redemption Period applicable to any Capital Stock, the Bank is unable to Redeem the Capital Stock because (i) following the Redemption, the Bank would fail to satisfy its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement or (ii) the Bank is otherwise prohibited from doing so by Regulation or Finance Agency order, Redemption shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Section XI.


X.    Redemption and Repurchase of Capital Stock (Withdrawal or Termination of Membership)


A.    Voluntary Withdrawal


1.Notice of Intention to Withdraw from Membership


A Member may voluntarily withdraw and terminate its Membership by providing to the Bank written notice of its intention to withdraw from Membership. The Redemption Period for all Capital Stock then held by that Member that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall begin on the date the notice of intention to withdraw is received by the Bank.
The Redemption Period for any Capital Stock acquired or received by the Member subsequent to the Bank’s receipt of the Member’s notice of intention to withdraw shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Member; provided, however,

that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Member’s Minimum Stock Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.


2.Termination of Membership


The Membership of a Member that has submitted a notice of intention to withdraw shall terminate on the date on which the Redemption Period ends with respect to the Capital Stock that comprised the Member’s Membership Stock Requirement on the date on which the Bank received the Member’s notice of intention to withdraw, unless the Bank has received written notice from the Member prior to the date on which its Membership terminates that the Member is canceling its notice of intention to withdraw. Until the date on which its Membership terminates, a Member shall continue to maintain Capital Stock sufficient to meet its Minimum Stock Requirement in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Plan.


3.Continued Benefits of Membership Prior to Termination


A Member that has submitted a notice of intention to withdraw shall be entitled to receive any dividends attributable to its Capital Stock (subject to the Bank’s lien thereon) through the date of Redemption or Repurchase by the Bank. The Member also shall be entitled to exercise the other benefits associated with Membership until the date on which its Membership terminates, but the Bank in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency) may limit a Member’s ability to enter into transactions with the Bank, including but not limited to Advances and Letters of Credit, that would mature or otherwise terminate subsequent to the date on which its Membership terminates. 


4.Cancellation of Notice of Withdrawal

ii.If the Bank receives the notice of cancellation more than 30 months following the notice of intention to withdraw, the fee shall be equal to $1.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Capital Stock held by the Member on the date that the Bank receives the notice of cancellation.

The Redemption Period for the Capital Stock previously held by the disappearing Member that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall not be deemed to begin solely by virtue of the termination of Membership, but shall begin only upon (i) the Bank’s receipt of the surviving Member’s written notice to the Bank requesting Redemption of Capital Stock, (ii) the Bank’s receipt of the surviving Member’s written notice to the Bank of intention to withdraw from Membership, (iii) the surviving Member’s termination from Membership as a result of merger or consolidation into a nonmember, (iv) the surviving Member’s termination from Membership as a result of relocation of its principal place of business, or (v) the surviving Member’s involuntary termination from Membership.

If Membership is terminated as a result of a Member's merger or other consolidation into an institution that is not a Member, the Membership shall terminate, and the Redemption Period for the Capital Stock then held by the Member that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall be deemed to begin, on the date on which the Member’s charter is cancelled. At such time, the Capital Stock of the disappearing Member shall be transferred on the Bank’s books to the account of the Former Member.


Capital Stock held by such a Former Member shall not be deemed automatically to be Excess Stock solely by virtue of the Former Member’s termination of Membership; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.


The Redemption Period for any Capital Stock acquired or received by a Former Member subsequent to the termination of Membership shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Former Member; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.

The Redemption Period for any Capital Stock acquired or received by the Former Member subsequent to the termination of Membership shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Former Member; provided, however, that any such Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.

4.Voluntary Cancellation of Charter


If a Member’s charter is cancelled pursuant to a self-liquidation ending its corporate existence or other voluntary action by the Member, then the Member’s Membership in the Bank shall automatically terminate, and the Redemption Period for the Capital Stock then held by the Member that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall be deemed to begin, on the date on which the Member’s charter is cancelled. At such time, the Capital Stock of the terminated Member shall be transferred on the Bank’s books to the account of the Former Member. 


Capital Stock held by such a Former Member shall not be deemed automatically to be Excess Stock solely by virtue of the Former Member’s termination of Membership; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement at the time the Former Member’s charter is cancelled shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank. 


The Redemption Period for any Capital Stock acquired or received by a Former Member subsequent to the termination of Membership shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Former Member; provided, however, that any such Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.

The Redemption Period for any Capital Stock acquired or received by the Former Member subsequent to the termination of Membership shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Former Member; provided, however, that any such Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank.

Retention Requirement. Further, the Bank shall not Redeem or Repurchase any Capital Stock if prohibited from doing so by any Regulation or Finance Agency order.
If, upon expiration of the Redemption Period applicable to any Capital Stock, the Bank is unable to Redeem the Capital Stock because (i) following the Redemption, the Bank would fail to satisfy its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum or (ii) the Bank is otherwise prohibited from doing so by Regulation or Finance Agency order, Redemption shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Section XI.
XI.    Priority of Redemption or Repurchase
A.    Initial Pro Rata Redemption
In the event that the Board of Directors determines for a given calendar quarter that the Bank may not be able to Redeem all Capital Stock with respect to which the Redemption Period has expired or will expire during that quarter because (i) following such Redemption, the Bank would fail to meet or would be likely to fail to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and its Risk Management Policy Minimum, or (ii) Redemption would otherwise prevent the Bank from operating in a safe and sound manner, including, without limitation, a reasonable belief that the Redemption would prevent the Bank from maintaining sufficient Permanent Capital or Total Capital against a potential risk that may not be reflected adequately in the Bank’s Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement and Risk Management Policy Minimum, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency), may temporarily suspend Redemptions during that calendar quarter.
The Bank shall notify the Finance Agency in writing within two business days following the determination by the Board of Directors to suspend Redemption of Capital Stock, informing the Finance Agency of the reasons for the suspension and of the Bank’s strategies and time frames for addressing the conditions that led to the suspension.
Unless the Finance Agency directs otherwise, within 20 business days following the end of the calendar quarter, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency), shall determine the total amount of funds, if any, to be made available for Redemption for that calendar quarter. Within 10 business days following the determination by the Board of Directors, the Bank shall Redeem at par value a pro rata number of shares, based upon the number of shares of Capital Stock with respect to which the Redemption Period has expired, of the total amount available for Redemption. 
All Redemption payments for a given calendar quarter made pursuant to this Section XI.A. shall be made on the same business day.
The Bank shall not Repurchase any Excess Stock without the prior written approval of the Finance Agency during any period in which the Board of Directors has suspended Redemption of Capital Stock.
B.    Subsequent Pro Rata Redemption
The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency), may follow the procedure for pro rata Redemption described in Section XI.A. for any calendar quarter in which the conditions described therein occur.
C.    Pro Rata Repurchase

Agency), may implement the pro rata procedure described in this Section XI. to Repurchase Excess Stock for any calendar quarter in which (i) no Redemption Period has expired or (ii) the Bank will Redeem all Capital Stock for which the Redemption Period has expired and will Repurchase additional Capital Stock. All Repurchase payments for a given calendar quarter made pursuant to this Section XI.C. shall be made on the same business day.
D.    No Priority for Notices of Redemption or Repurchase in the Event of Liquidation
In the event that the Finance Agency determines to liquidate the Bank, from and after the date of any such determination, all of the Capital Stock held by the Members, whether or not subject to a notice of Redemption or Repurchase, shall thereafter be treated exactly the same, and no further Redemptions or Repurchases shall occur except in connection with the liquidation of the Bank in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Regulations, and this Capital Plan.
XII.    Disposition of Claims 
A.    In General
If a Member withdraws from Membership or its Membership is otherwise terminated, the Bank, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Agency), shall determine an orderly manner for liquidating all Indebtedness owed by the Former Member to the Bank and for settling all other claims against the Former Member. After the obligations and claims have been extinguished or settled, the Bank shall return to the Former Member the collateral pledged by the Former Member to the Bank to secure its obligations to the Bank.

XV.    Establishment of Restricted Retained Earnings

Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective December 14, 2020


			
	


			
	Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2015 [_________2020] Updated August 3, 2015



from its Quarterly Net Income or Adjustments to Prior Net Income occurring on or after the REFCORP Termination Date, but nothing in the Retained Earnings Capital Plan Amendment shall prevent the Bank from allocating a greater percentage of its Quarterly Net Income or positive Adjustment to Prior Net Income to its Restricted Retained Earnings account than the percentages set forth in the Retained Earnings Capital Plan Amendment.
2.Ongoing Allocation
During any Dividend Restriction Period that occurs before the Allocation Termination Date, the Bank shall continue to allocate its Regular Contribution Amount (or when and if required under Section XV.B.4. below, its Special Contribution Amount) to its Restricted Retained Earnings account.
3.Treatment of Quarterly Net Losses and Annual Net Losses
In the event the Bank sustains a Net Loss for a calendar quarter, the following shall apply: (i) to the extent that its cumulative calendar year-to-date net income is positive at the end of such quarter, the Bank may decrease the amount of its Restricted Retained Earnings so that the cumulative addition to the Restricted Retained Earnings account for the calendar year-to-date at the end of such quarter is equal to 20 percent of the amount of such cumulative calendar year-to date net income; (ii) to the extent that its cumulative calendar year-to-date net income is negative at the end of such quarter (a) the Bank may decrease the amount of its Restricted Retained Earnings so that the cumulative addition to the Restricted Retained Earnings account for the calendar year-to-date at the end of such quarter is zero, and (b) the Bank shall apply any remaining portion of the Net Loss for the calendar quarter first to reduce Retained Earnings that are not Restricted Retained Earnings until such Retained Earnings are reduced to zero, and thereafter may apply any remaining portion of the Net Loss for the calendar quarter to reduce Restricted Retained Earnings; and (iii) for any subsequent calendar quarter in the same calendar year, the Bank may decrease the amount of its quarterly allocation to its Restricted Retained Earnings account in that subsequent calendar quarter such that the cumulative addition to the Restricted Retained Earnings account calendar year-to-date is equal to 20 percent of the amount of cumulative calendar year-to-date net income.
In the event the Bank sustains a Net Loss for a calendar year, any such Net Loss first shall be applied to reduce Retained Earnings that are not Restricted Retained Earnings until such Retained Earnings are reduced to zero, and thereafter any remaining portion of the Net Loss for the calendar year may be applied to reduce Restricted Retained Earnings.
4.Funding at the Special Contribution Amount
If during a Dividend Restriction Period, the amount of the Bank’s Restricted Retained Earnings decreases in any calendar quarter, except as provided in Sections XV.B.3(i) and (ii)(a) above, the Bank shall allocate the Special Contribution Amount to its Restricted Retained Earnings account beginning at the following calendar quarter-end (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section XV.B.4.). Thereafter, the Bank shall continue to allocate the Special Contribution Amount to its Restricted Retained Earnings account until the cumulative difference between: (i) the allocations made using the Special Contribution Amount; and (ii) the allocations that would have been made if the Regular Contribution Amount applied, is equal to the amount of the prior decrease in the amount of its Restricted Retained Earnings account arising from the application of Section XV.B.3.(ii)(b). If at any calendar quarter-end the allocation of the Special Contribution Amount would result in a cumulative allocation in excess of such prior decrease in the amount of Restricted Retained Earnings: (i) the Bank may allocate such percentage of Quarterly Net Income to the Restricted Retained Earnings account that shall exactly restore the amount of the prior decrease, plus

	Capital Plan as Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2015 [_________2020] Updated August 3, 2015



the amount of the Regular Contribution Amount for that quarter; and (ii) the Bank in subsequent quarters shall revert to paying at least the Regular Contribution Amount.
5.Release of Restricted Retained Earnings
If the Bank’s RREM decreases from time to time due to fluctuations in the Bank’s Total Consolidated Obligations, amounts in the Restricted Retained Earnings account in excess of 150 percent of the RREM may be released by the Bank from the restrictions otherwise imposed on such amounts pursuant to the provisions of the Retained Earnings Capital Plan Amendment, and reallocated to its Retained Earnings that are not Restricted Retained Earnings. Until the Restriction Termination Date, the Bank may not otherwise reallocate amounts in its Restricted Retained Earnings account (provided that a reduction in the Restricted Retained Earnings account following a Net Loss pursuant to Section XV.B.3. is not a reallocation).
6.No Effect on Rights of Shareholders as Owners of Retained Earnings 
In the event of the liquidation of the Bank, or a taking of the Bank’s Retained Earnings by any future federal action, nothing in the Retained Earnings Capital Plan Amendment shall change the rights of the holders of the Bank’s Class B stock that confer ownership of Retained Earnings, including Restricted Retained Earnings, as granted under Section 6(h) of the Act.
XVI.    Limitation on Dividends, Stock Purchase and Stock Redemption
A.    General Rule on Dividends
From the REFCORP Termination Date through the Restriction Termination Date, the Bank may not pay Dividends, or otherwise reallocate funds (except as expressly provided in Section XV.B.5., and further provided that a reduction in the Restricted Retained Earnings account following a Net Loss pursuant to Section X.V.B.3. is not a reallocation), out of Restricted Retained Earnings. During a Dividend Restriction Period, the Bank may not pay Dividends out of the amount of Quarterly Net Income required to be allocated to Restricted Retained Earnings.
B.    Limitations on Repurchase and Redemption
From the REFCORP Termination Date through the Restriction Termination Date, the Bank shall not engage in a Repurchase or Redemption transaction if following such transaction the Bank’s Total Capital as reported to the Finance Agency falls below the Bank’s aggregate paid-in amount of Capital Stock.
XVII.    Termination of Retained Earnings Capital Plan Amendment Obligations
A.    Notice of Automatic Termination Event
1.Action by FHLBanks
If the Bank elects to assert that an Automatic Termination Event has occurred (or will occur on the effective date of a change in a statute or the Regulations), the Bank shall provide prompt written notice to all of the other FHLBanks (and provide a copy to the Finance Agency) identifying the specific statutory or regulatory change that is the basis for the assertion. For the purposes of this Section, “prompt written notice” means notice delivered no later than 90 calendar days subsequent to: (1) the date the specific statutory change takes effect; or (2) the date an interim final rule or final rule effecting the specific regulatory change is published in

the Federal Register.


If within 60 calendar days of transmission of such written notice to all of the other FHLBanks, at least 2/3 of the then existing FHLBanks (including the Bank) execute a Declaration of Automatic Termination concurring that the specific statutory or regulatory change identified in the written notice constitutes an Automatic Termination Event, then the Declaration of Automatic Termination Event shall be delivered by the Bank to the Finance Agency within 10 calendar days of the date that the Declaration of Automatic Termination is executed. After the expiration of a 60 calendar day period that begins when the Declaration of Automatic Termination is delivered to the Finance Agency, or is delivered to the Finance Agency by another FHLBank pursuant to the terms of its capital plan, an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be deemed to occur (except as provided in Section XVII.A.3.). 


If a Declaration of Automatic Termination concurring that the specific statutory or regulatory change identified in the written notice constitutes an Automatic Termination Event has not been executed by at least the required 2/3 of the then existing FHLBanks within 60 calendar days of transmission of such notice to all of the other FHLBanks, the Bank may request a determination from the Finance Agency that the specific statutory or regulatory change constitutes an Automatic Termination Event. Such request must be filed with the Finance Agency within 10 calendar days after the expiration of the 60 calendar day period that begins upon transmission of the written notice of the basis of the assertion to all of the other FHLBanks.


2.Action by Finance Agency


The Bank may request a determination from the Finance Agency that a specific statutory or regulatory change constitutes an Automatic Termination Event, and may claim that an Automatic Termination Event has occurred, or will occur, with respect to a specific statutory or regulatory change only if the Bank has complied with the time limitations and procedures of Section XVII.A.1. above.


If within 60 calendar days after the Bank delivers such a request to the Finance Agency, or another FHLBank delivers such a request pursuant to its capital plan, the Finance Agency provides the requesting FHLBank with a written determination that a specific statutory or regulatory change is an Automatic Termination Event, then an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be deemed to occur as of the expiration of such 60 calendar day period (except as provided in Section XVII.A.3.). The date of the Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be as of the expiration of such 60 calendar day period (except as provided in Section XVII.A.3.) no matter on which day prior to the expiration of the 60 calendar day period the Finance Agency has provided its written determination.


If the Finance Agency fails to make a determination within 60 calendar days after an FHLBank delivers such request to the Finance Agency, then an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be deemed to occur as of the date of the expiration of such 60 calendar day period (except as provided in Section XVII.A.3.); provided, however, that the Finance Agency may make a written request for information from that FHLBank, and toll such 60 calendar day period from the date that the Finance Agency transmits its request until that FHLBank delivers to the Finance Agency information responsive to its request.


If within 60 calendar days after an FHLBank delivers to the Finance Agency a request for determination that a specific statutory or regulatory change constitutes an Automatic Termination Event (or such longer period if the 60 calendar day period is tolled pursuant to the preceding sentence) the Finance Agency provides that FHLBank with a written determination that a specific statutory or regulatory change is not an Automatic Termination Event, then an

Automatic Termination Event shall not have occurred with respect to such change.


3.Occurrence of Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date


In no case under this Section XVII.A. may an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date be deemed to occur prior to: (1) the date the specific statutory change takes effect; or (2) the date an interim final rule or final rule effecting the specific regulatory change is published in the Federal Register.


B.    Notice of Voluntary Termination


If the FHLBanks terminate the Agreement, then the Bank and the other FHLBanks shall provide written notice to the Finance Agency that the FHLBanks have voted to terminate the Agreement. 


C.    Consequences of Automatic Termination Event or Vote to Terminate the Agreement


1.Consequences of Voluntary Termination


In the event the FHLBanks deliver written notice to the Finance Agency that the FHLBanks have voted to terminate the Agreement, then without any further action by the Bank or the Finance Agency: (i) the date of delivery of such notice shall be an Allocation Termination Date; and (ii) one year from the date of delivery of such notice shall be a Restriction Termination Date.


2.Consequences of an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date


If an Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date has occurred, then without further action by the Bank or the Finance Agency: (i) the date of the Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be an Allocation Termination Date; and (ii) one year from the date of the Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date shall be a Restriction Termination Date.
