	A.	General 

  

	 	1.	The Bank will pay each member of the board of directors a fee for attendance at any official meeting (in person or by telephone) of the board or a committee of the board. An
official meeting includes a meeting of any ad hoc committee established by the board for a specific purpose. In addition, the Bank will pay any director representative to the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) a fee for attendance at any
official meeting of that group. The Bank will not pay a fee for a director’s attendance at any Federal Home Loan Bank System meeting. The fees for attendance at these meetings are outlined below. 

  

	 	2.	The Bank will pay a fee only for a director’s actual attendance and participation at a meeting, unless the director’s absence is due to unanticipated transportation
problems encountered while in route to the meeting. Participation by telephone for in-person meetings is discouraged unless necessary to attain a quorum. The Bank will not pay for a director’s participation by telephone for an in-person meeting
unless the Chairman approves such participation in writing prior to the meeting. The Bank will not pay a fee for a director’s attendance at meetings other than those described above. 

  

	 	3.	The Bank will not advance the payment of fees to any director. 

  

	 	4.	The Federal Home Loan Bank Act previously placed limits on the amount of compensation payable to any director. From January 1, 2008 through August 31, 2008, those limits
were: 

  

				
	 a)      Chairman of the Board
	  	$	31,232
	 b)      Vice Chairman of the Board
	  	$	24,986
	 c)      Director
	  	$	18,739

 Once a director has reached his or her statutory limit, the Bank was not permitted to pay additional fees
to that director, even if the director attended a meeting at which a fee otherwise would be paid under this policy. 
  

	 	5.	The Federal Home Loan Bank Act no longer prescribes limitations on the amount of compensation payable to any director, and the board has adopted the revised compensation limits
effective September 1, 2008 on a prospective basis. Those limits are: 

  

				
	 a)      Chairman of the Board
	  	$	45,000
	 b)      Vice Chairman of the Board
	  	$	45,000
	 c)      Director
	  	$	45,000

 Once a director has reached his or her revised compensation limit, the Bank will not pay additional
fees to that director, even if the director attends a meeting at which a fee otherwise would be paid under this policy.
