Service fees for the above positions will be paid for continuous service as a Bank director. 


The annual service fee will be pro-rated and paid with the meeting fee, if applicable, at the conclusion of each two-month service period on the Board of Directors (i.e., month-end February, April, June, August, October and December). If a director holds more than one position on the Board, during any applicable payment period, the director's service fee for that period will be calculated based on the position that pays the highest service fee, and will be pro-rated for the number of days the director held that position during the applicable payment period. Any member of the Board of Directors who joins or leaves the Board between service fee payments will receive a pro rata service fee for the number of days the director was on the Board during the service period.  Additionally, each director will receive a meeting fee of $8,400 for attending any portion of five of the six regularly scheduled two-day Board meetings.  


A Board member may receive a meeting fee for participation in one regularly-scheduled Board meeting by telephone. 


No other fee will be paid for participation in meetings of the Board or committees by telephone or participation in other Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank System activities.


The President of the Bank is authorized to interpret this Policy, as necessary, according to applicable statutory, regulatory and policy limits.
