	 	A.	Characteristics of Capital Stock 

 The Board of
Directors hereby authorizes the Bank to Issue, Redeem, and Repurchase Capital Stock, and take other actions in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, at the Exchange and thereafter. Capital Stock shall have a par value of $100 per share and
shall be Issued, Redeemed, and Repurchased only at its stated par value. 
 The Bank may Issue Capital Stock only in book-entry form, only in

	 	B.	Interest in Retained Earnings 

 Each Issued and
outstanding share of Capital Stock shall represent an undivided ownership interest (proportionate to the number of shares of Capital Stock Issued and outstanding from time to time) in the retained earnings, paid-in surplus, undivided profits, and
equity reserves of the Bank. No Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder 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. 
  

	III.	Issuance of Capital Stock 

  

	 	A.	Subject to Plan 

 The terms, rights, and preferences
applicable to any Capital Stock Issued by the Bank shall be identical to those set forth in this Plan. The Bank may not Issue Capital Stock other than in accordance with the Regulations and this Plan. 
  

	 	B.	New Members 

 Within 60 calendar days following
Membership approval by the Bank, an approved applicant must purchase and hold sufficient shares of Capital Stock to satisfy its Minimum Stock Requirement in effect on the date of the purchase. The Membership Stock Requirement for a new Member shall

	 	C.	Former Members and Nonmember Stockholders 

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


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	5	  	











	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 and (ii) the Minimum Stock Retention Requirements of all Former Members and
Nonmember Stockholders is sufficient for the Bank to meet its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement. The Board of Directors shall have a continuing obligation to review and adjust the Minimum Stock Requirement to ensure that the Bank remains in
compliance with its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement. Each Member shall comply promptly with any such requirement. As of the Conversion Date, and for as long as its Membership continues or a relevant transaction is outstanding, each Member
shall hold Capital Stock in an amount equal to the sum of: 
  

	 	1.	The Member’s Membership Stock Requirement, which shall be shares of Subclass B1 Capital Stock equal to the lesser of: 

  

	 	a.	The percentage (initially 0.20%) of the Member’s total assets as of the Record Date specified by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section IV.B. of this Plan; or


  

	 	b.	The dollar cap (initially $25 million) on the Subclass B1 Membership Stock Requirement applicable to all Members specified by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section IV.B.
of this Plan; plus 

  

	 	2.	The Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement, which shall be shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock equal to the sum of: 

  

	 	a.	The Member’s Advances Stock Requirement, which shall be the percentage (initially 4.50%) of the Member’s outstanding Advances specified by the Board of Directors in
accordance with Section IV.B. of this Plan; plus 

  

	 	b.	The Member’s Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement, which shall be the percentage (initially 0.00%) of any Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member to the Bank specified by
the Board of Directors in accordance with Section IV.B. of this Plan; plus 

  

	 	c.	The Member’s Targeted Debt/Equity Investment Stock Requirement, which shall be the percentage (initially 8.00%) of any Targeted Debt/Equity Investment sold by the Member and
owned by the Bank specified by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section IV.B. of this Plan. 

 Provided, however, that
(i) the Member’s Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement shall not include any Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member and owned by the Bank pursuant to a master commitment executed prior to the Conversion Date; and (ii) the
Member’s Targeted Debt/Equity Investment Stock Requirement shall not include any Targeted Debt/Equity Investment sold by the Member and owned by the Bank prior to the Conversion Date. 
 The Bank provided at least 75 days’ advance notice of the initial factors used to calculate, and the dollar cap applicable to, the Minimum Stock
Requirement via a Notice to Members. Such Notice was also provided to any institution with a pending application for Membership on the date of the Notice and to any institution that requested or submitted an application for Membership subsequent to
the date of the Notice, but prior to the Conversion Date. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	6	  	











	 	B.	Authorized Ranges 

  

	 	1.	Authorized Ranges for Membership Stock Requirement 

 From
time to time, the Board of Directors may adjust the factor used to calculate the Membership Stock Requirement to an amount of Subclass B1 Capital Stock equal to but not less than 0.05% nor greater than 0.40% of the Member’s total assets.

 From time to time, the Board of Directors may adjust the dollar cap applicable to the Membership Stock Requirement to an amount of
Subclass B1 Capital Stock equal to but not less than $15 million nor greater than $35 million. 
  

	 	2.	Authorized Ranges for Activity-Based Stock Requirement 

 From time to time, the Board of Directors may adjust the Activity-Based Stock Requirement to an amount equal to the sum of: 
  

	 	a.	The Advances Stock Requirement, which shall equal an amount of Subclass B2 Capital Stock not less than 3.50% nor greater than 6.00% of the Member’s outstanding Advances; plus


  

	 	b.	The Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement, which shall equal an amount of Subclass B2 Capital Stock not less than 0.00% nor greater than 6.00% of any Acquired Member Asset sold by
the Member and owned by the Bank; plus 

  

	 	c.	The Targeted Debt/Equity Investment Stock Requirement, which shall equal an amount of Subclass B2 Capital Stock not less than 6.00% nor greater than 9.00% of any Targeted
Debt/Equity Investment sold by the Member and owned by the Bank. 

  

	 	3.	No Adjustment Outside Authorized Ranges Without Plan Amendment 

 The Bank may not adjust the factors or the dollar cap used to calculate the Membership Stock Requirement or the Activity-Based Stock Requirement outside the ranges authorized in this Section IV.B., except upon an amendment to the Plan
approved by the Board of Directors and the Finance Board. 
  

	 	C.	Adjustments to Minimum Stock Requirements 

  

	 	1.	Notice of Change in Minimum Stock Investment Requirement 

 The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members at least 10 business days prior to the effective date of any change in the Membership Stock Requirement or Activity-Based Stock Requirement approved by the Board of Directors within the ranges
authorized under Section IV.B. of this Plan. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	7	  	











	 	2.	Adjustment to Membership Stock Requirement 

  

	 	a.	Annual Recalculation 

 No later than March 31 of each
year, the Bank shall recalculate the Membership Stock Requirement of each Member holding Membership on the Record Date using financial data as of the Record Date. The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members at least 10 business days prior to the date
of the transaction to adjust the Member’s Subclass B1 Capital Stock balance to the new Membership Stock Requirement. In its discretion, the Bank may recalculate any Member’s Membership Stock Requirement more frequently, using financial
data from the fiscal year-end or the fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding the date of such recalculation, whichever period data is most-recently available. 
  

	 	b.	Recalculation Due to Adjustment Within Authorized Ranges 

 The Bank shall recalculate each Member’s Membership Stock Requirement on the effective date of any adjustment to the factors and/or dollar cap used to calculate the Membership Stock Requirement within the authorized ranges described in
Section IV.B of this Plan, using either the most recently available quarter-end financial data or financial data as of the prior calendar year-end, as determined by the Bank and specified in the Notice to Members. 
  

	 	c.	Recalculation Due to Termination of Membership as a Result of Consolidation, Relocation or Involuntary Action 

 The Bank, in its sole discretion, may recalculate the Membership Stock Retention Requirement for a Nonmember Stockholder or Former Member after the
termination of the Former Member’s Membership as a result of a Consolidation, Relocation or involuntary action as specified in Section X.C. of this Plan. In the case of a termination of a Former Member’s Membership as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, liquidating agent or similar party for such Former Member, and after the Bank, in its sole discretion, has determined that the Former Member has satisfied all outstanding obligations to the Bank, the Membership Stock
Retention Requirement for such Former Member shall be zero. 
  

	 	d.	Adjustment Transaction 

 If any adjustment results in an
increase to the Member’s Membership Stock Requirement, on the transaction date specified in the Notice to Members the Bank shall (i) Issue sufficient additional shares of Subclass B1 Capital Stock so that the Member meets its Membership
Stock Requirement; and (ii) debit the Member’s Daily Investment Account in the amount of the par value of the additional shares of Subclass B1 Capital Stock Issued. In the event that the Member’s Daily Investment Account reflects
insufficient funds, the Bank may take any of the actions authorized pursuant to the account terms and conditions then in effect. 
 If any
adjustment results in a decrease to a Member’s Membership Stock Requirement or a Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s Membership Stock Retention Requirement, on the transaction date specified in the Notice to Members, the Bank,
in its discretion, may Repurchase any Excess Shares of Subclass B1 Capital Stock then held by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder. The Notice to Members shall specify whether the Bank will Repurchase any Excess Shares of Subclass B1
Capital 

  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	8	  	










 
Stock. If the Bank will Repurchase only a portion of the Excess Shares, the Notice to Members shall specify either the amount of Excess Shares that the Bank
will Repurchase or the methodology used to determine the amount of Excess Shares that the Bank will Repurchase. 
  

	 	3.	Adjustment to Activity-Based Stock Requirement 

  

	 	a.	Recalculation of Activity-Based Requirement 

 The Bank
shall recalculate each Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement or each Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement at the time of any change in the amount of transactions outstanding between
the Bank and the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder and on the effective date of any adjustment to the factors used in calculating the Activity-Based Stock Requirement within the authorized ranges described in Section IV.B. Any
adjustment to the Activity-Based Stock Requirement for Members also shall apply to the Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement for Former Members and Nonmember Stockholders. This Plan shall constitute Notice to Members of any change in the
Member’s, Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement resulting from a change in the amount of transactions outstanding between the Bank and the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder.

  

	 	b.	Adjustment Transaction 

 If the adjustment results in an
increase to a Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement, the Bank shall (i) Issue sufficient additional shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock so that the Member meets its Activity-Based Stock Requirement; and (ii) debit the
Member’s Daily Investment Account in the amount of the par value of the additional shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock Issued. In the event that the Member’s Daily Investment Account reflects insufficient funds, the Bank may take any of
the actions authorized pursuant to the account terms and conditions then in effect. 
 If the adjustment results in a decrease to a
Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement or to a Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement, and the decrease results in ownership by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder of an
amount of Subclass B2 Capital Stock that exceeds the Excess Stock Threshold Amount, or in the case of a Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder with no outstanding Indebtedness, is less than the Excess Stock Threshold Amount, the Bank
generally shall promptly Repurchase some or all of the Excess Shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock held by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder. This Plan shall constitute Notice of the Bank’s general practice to promptly
Repurchase some or all of the Excess Shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock held by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder when the par value of Excess Shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock held by such Member exceeds the Excess Stock
Threshold Amount, or in the case of a Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder with no outstanding Indebtedness, is less than the Excess Stock Threshold Amount. 
 In the event that the Bank suspends such Repurchases, the Bank shall provide a Notice to Members in accordance with Section XI.E. of this Plan. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	9

 The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members at least five business days prior to the effective
date of any change in the Excess Stock Threshold Amount. Such Notice to Members shall include the par value of Excess Shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock, if any, that the Bank generally shall permit the Member, Former Member or
Nonmember Stockholder to retain when the amount of Subclass B2 Capital Stock held by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder exceeds the Excess Stock Threshold Amount. 
  

	 	4.	Application of Change Within Authorized Ranges 

 The Bank
shall apply any adjustment caused by a change within the authorized ranges to the factors and/or dollar cap used in calculating the Membership Stock Requirement, the Activity-Based Stock Requirement, and the Activity-Based Stock Retention
Requirement either retroactively or prospectively, as outlined below: 
  

	 	a.	Any adjustment caused by a change to the factor and/or dollar cap used in calculating the Membership Stock Requirement shall be applied retroactively by applying the new factor
and/or dollar cap to the Member’s total assets as of the date specified in accordance with Section IV.C.2. of this Plan. 

  

	 	b.	Any adjustment caused by a change to the factor used in calculating the Advances Stock Requirement shall be applied retroactively by applying the new factor to the outstanding
balance of advances on the effective date of the change as specified in the Notice to Members. Any retroactive application of an adjustment to the Advances Stock Requirement also shall apply to the Advances Stock Retention Requirement.


  

	 	c.	If the adjustment results in an increase to the factor used to calculate the Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement, the Bank shall apply the new requirement on a prospective basis
only to any Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member and owned by the Bank pursuant to a master commitment executed subsequent to the effective date of the adjustment. 

  

	 	d.	If the adjustment results in a decrease to the factor used to calculate the Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may apply the new requirement
(i) on a prospective basis only to any Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member and owned by the Bank pursuant to a master commitment executed subsequent to the effective date of the adjustment, or (ii) on a retroactive and a prospective
basis to any Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member or Former Member and owned by the Bank on the effective date of the change, as well as to Acquired Member Asset sold by the Member and owned by the Bank subsequent to the effective date of the
adjustment. Any retroactive application of an adjustment to the Acquired Member Asset Stock Requirement shall also apply to the Acquired Member Asset Stock Retention Requirement. 

  

	 	e.	If the adjustment results in an increase to the factor used to calculate the Targeted Debt/Equity Investment Stock Requirement, the Bank shall apply the new requirement on a
prospective basis only to any Targeted Debt/Equity Investment sold by the Member and owned by the Bank subsequent to the effective date of the adjustment.

the Members, Former Members and Nonmember Stockholders holding Capital Stock during the time period for which the dividend is declared, and shall be computed on the amount of time during the relevant time period that the Capital Stock was
outstanding. The amount of any dividend paid in the form of Capital Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid in the form of cash.

fail to comply with its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement.

to make payment in full to all Members, Former Members and Nonmember Stockholders, payment shall occur on a pro rata basis. In addition, any undistributed retained earnings, paid-in surplus, undivided profits, equity reserves, and other assets not

	 	1.	Conditions Applicable to Redemption 

 Subject to the
limitations in Section XI. of this Plan, 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 subclass and
number of 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 either the particular subclass or the number of shares to be Redeemed, or 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 equal to the greater of (i) $500,
or (ii) two basis points (.02%) multiplied by the par value of the number of shares of Capital Stock subject to the Redemption notice. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	12	  	











	 	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. 
  

	 	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.

	 	B.	Repurchase Upon Initiation by the Bank 

 The Bank
may Repurchase Excess Shares of Subclass B1 Capital Stock and Subclass B2 Capital Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section IV.C. of this Plan. If the Bank intends to Repurchase Excess Stock from a Member, a Former Member or a Nonmember
Stockholder that has submitted a Redemption notice pursuant to Section IX.A.1., before Repurchasing any other Excess Stock of the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder, the Bank shall first Repurchase from that Member, Former Member or
Nonmember Stockholder the shares of Excess Stock that are subject to a Redemption notice. 
  

	 	C.	Continued Benefits of Ownership Prior to Redemption or Repurchase 

 A Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder 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. A 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.

 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 is received by the Bank. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	13	  	










 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 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 Board) may limit a
Member’s ability to enter into transactions with the Bank, including but not limited to Advances, that would mature or otherwise terminate subsequent to the date on which its Membership terminates. 
  

	 	4.	Cancellation of Notice of Withdrawal 

  

	 	a.	Conditions Applicable to Cancellation 

 A Member may
cancel its notice of intention to withdraw at any time prior to the date on which its Membership terminates by providing a written cancellation notice to the Bank. Any Member that cancels its notice of intention to withdraw shall pay a fee to the

	 	b.	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. 
  

	 	5.	Circumstances Requiring Finance Board Certification for Withdrawal 

 No Member may withdraw from Membership unless, on the date that the Membership is to terminate, there is in effect a certification from the Finance Board that the withdrawal will not cause the Federal Home Loan Bank
System to fail to satisfy its obligations under 12 U.S.C. 1441b(f)(2)(C) to contribute toward the interest payments owed on obligations issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation.

	 	B.	Termination of Membership as a Result of a Consolidation or Relocation 

  

	 	1.	Consolidation of Members 

 Upon Consolidation of two or
more Members, the Membership of each disappearing Member shall terminate upon the cancellation of its charter. At such time, the Capital Stock of the disappearing Member shall be transferred on the Bank’s books to the account of the surviving
Member. The Redemption Period for the Capital Stock held by the disappearing Member on the date of its termination from Membership and that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall not be deemed to begin solely by virtue of the
termination from 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 its intention to withdraw from Membership, (iii) the surviving Member’s termination from Membership as a result of a Consolidation into a nonmember, (iv) the surviving Member’s
termination from Membership as a result of a Relocation, or (v) the surviving Member’s involuntary termination from Membership. 
  

	 	2.	Consolidation into Nonmember 

 Upon Consolidation of a
Member into an institution that is not a Member pursuant to a transaction in which the surviving institution operates under the charter of the institution that is not a Member, the Membership of the Member shall terminate upon the cancellation of
the Member’s charter. The Redemption Period for the Capital Stock held by the disappearing Member on the date of its termination from Membership and that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall be deemed to begin, on the date of its
termination from Membership. At such time, the Capital Stock of the disappearing Member shall be transferred on the Bank’s books to the account of the surviving institution, a Nonmember Stockholder. 
 Capital Stock held by a Nonmember Stockholder shall not be deemed automatically to be Excess Stock solely by virtue of the disappearing Member’s
termination of Membership; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Minimum Stock Retention Requirement for the Nonmember Stockholder, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c. or Section IV.C.3. of this Plan, 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
Nonmember Stockholder subsequent to the termination of the disappearing Member’s Membership shall begin on the date of acquisition or receipt of the Capital Stock by the Nonmember Stockholder; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is
not required to meet the Minimum Stock Retention Requirement for the Nonmember Stockholder, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c or Section IV.C.3. of this Plan, shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank. 

The Nonmember Stockholder 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, but the Nonmember Stockholder shall have no right to exercise any of the other benefits of Membership after the termination of the disappearing Member’s Membership. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	15	  	











	 	3.	Relocation of Member 

 Upon Relocation by a Member, the
Member shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of such Relocation. Upon the later of the receipt of such notice or the effective date of the Relocation, the Membership of the Member shall terminate. The Redemption Period for the Capital Stock held
by the Member on the date of its termination from Membership and that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall be deemed to begin on the date of its termination from Membership. 
 Capital Stock held by the Member on the date of its termination from Membership shall not be deemed automatically to be Excess Stock solely by virtue of
the Member’s termination of Membership; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Minimum Stock Retention Requirement for the Former Member, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c. or Section IV.C.3. of this
Plan, 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 its termination from 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
Minimum Stock Retention Requirement of the Former Member, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c. or Section IV.C.3. of this Plan, shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank. 
 The Former 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, but the Former Member shall have no right to exercise any of the other benefits of Membership after the termination of its Membership. 
  

	 	C.	Other Involuntary Termination of Membership 

 The
Membership of any Member shall terminate automatically upon the appointment of a receiver, liquidating agent or similar party for such Member. 
 The Board of Directors may immediately terminate the Membership of any Member that: 
  

	 	1.	Fails to comply with any requirement of the Act, the Regulations, or the Capital Plan; 

  


	 	2.	Becomes insolvent or otherwise subject to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, or other legal custodian under federal or state law; or 

  

	 	3.	Would jeopardize the safety or soundness of the Bank if it were to remain a 

 Member. 
 Upon termination of
the Membership of any Member by action of the Board of Directors or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, liquidating agent or similar party for such Member as provided above, the Redemption Period for all Capital Stock then held by such
Former Member that is not subject to a pending Redemption notice shall begin, on the effective date of the Board of Directors’ action or the appointment of such receiver, liquidating agent or similar party. 
 Capital Stock held by a Former Member whose Membership has been terminated shall not be deemed automatically to be Excess Stock solely by virtue of the
termination of Membership; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention Requirement, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c. or Section IV.C.3. of this Plan, shall be
Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank. 
  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	16	  	










 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 Capital Stock that is not required to meet the Former Member’s Minimum Stock Retention
Requirement, as adjusted pursuant to Section IV.C.2.c. or Section IV.C.3. of this Plan, shall be Excess Stock and shall be subject to Repurchase by the Bank. 
 The Former 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, but the Former Member
shall have no right to exercise any of the other benefits of Membership after the termination of Membership. 
  

	 	D.	Redemption 

 Except as set forth in Section XI., and
unless the Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder must continue to comply with an Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement, the Bank shall Redeem the Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s Capital Stock upon expiration of the
Redemption Period. 
  

	XI.	Limitations on Redemption and Repurchase of Capital Stock 

  

	 	A.	Limitations Due to Charges Against Capital Stock 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Finance Board 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 Board for however long the Bank continues to incur such charges or until the Finance Board determines that such charges are not expected to continue. 
  

	 	B.	Limitations Due to Failure to Satisfy Minimum Requirements 

 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, the Member would fail to maintain its Minimum Stock
Requirement, or the Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder would fail to maintain its Minimum Stock Retention Requirement. Further, the Bank shall not Redeem or Repurchase any Capital Stock if prohibited from doing so by any Regulation or Finance
Board order. 
  

	 	C.	Other Restrictions on Redemption 

 In the event that
the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, determines that continued Redemption is not consistent with the Regulations because (i) following such Redemption, the Bank would fail to meet or would be likely to fail to meet
its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement, 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, then the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of 

  


					
	As of July 24, 2008	  	17	  	










 
Directors, in its sole discretion (subject to the regulatory oversight of the Finance Board), may temporarily suspend Redemptions. The Bank shall not
Repurchase any Capital Stock without prior written approval of the Finance Board during the period that Redemptions are suspended under this provision. 
 The Bank shall notify the Finance Board in writing within two Business Days following the determination by the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, to suspend Redemption of Capital Stock,
informing the Finance Board of the reasons for the suspension and of the Bank’s strategies and time frames for addressing the conditions that led to the suspension. 
  

	 	D.	Other Restrictions on Repurchase 

 On any Business
Day that the Repurchase of some or all Excess Shares of Subclass B2 Capital Stock would cause the Bank to fail to satisfy its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement, the Bank shall suspend Repurchases until the Bank can honor such Repurchases in
full, or the Board of Directors establishes pro rata Repurchase procedures. 
  

	 	E.	Notice of Suspension of Repurchases or Redemptions 

 The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members regarding the suspension of Redemptions or Repurchases on or before the effective date of the suspension. The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members at least one business day prior to resuming

 In the event that the Finance Board determines to liquidate the Bank, from and after the date of any such determination, all of the Capital Stock held by the Members, Former Members and Nonmember Stockholders 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 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 Board), shall determine an orderly manner for liquidating all Indebtedness owed by the Former Member or Nonmember
Stockholder to the Bank and for settling all other claims against the Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder. After the obligations and claims have been extinguished or settled, the Bank shall return to the Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder the
collateral pledged by the Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder to the Bank to secure its obligations to the Bank. 
  

	 	B.	Lien on Capital Stock 

 The Bank shall have a lien
on all of the Capital Stock owned by a Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder, and all dividends and other proceeds of such Capital Stock, to secure the performance by the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder of its obligations

	As of July 24, 2008	  	18	  	










 
Capital Stock that is required to meet the Member’s Activity-Based Stock Requirement or the Former Member’s or Nonmember Stockholder’s
Activity-Based Stock Retention Requirement until after the relevant Indebtedness or transactions have been extinguished or settled. The Bank shall have the right to collect any dividends and other proceeds of Capital Stock otherwise payable to a
Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder in default to satisfy any monetary obligations of the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder to the Bank or, in the sole discretion of the Bank (subject to the regulatory oversight of the
Finance Board), to pay any dividends to the Member, Former Member or Nonmember Stockholder in Capital Stock. 
  

	 	C.	Prepayment Fees 

 Any liquidation of Indebtedness
that results in payment of the Indebtedness before its stated maturity shall be deemed a prepayment of the Indebtedness, and shall be subject to any fees applicable to the prepayment. 
  

	XIII.	Amendment to the Capital Plan

to the Capital Plan must be approved by the Board of Directors and by the Finance Board. The Bank shall provide a Notice to Members at least five business days prior to the effective date of any amendment.
