 Per-day attendance fee will be paid for each day, or partial day, that a director attends an in-person meeting of the Board or its committees. Per-day fee payments will also include pre-scheduled director orientations
and FHLBank System meetings, including the Council of FHLBanks. Bank webinar meetings and member marketing meetings are not included in the per-day fee. Cancellations by the Bank due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond a
director’s control (except illness) will be reimbursed as a regular per-day meeting fee. 
 Except as provided below, attendance by
conference call for Board or committee meetings will not be eligible for reimbursement. 
 Timing of Fee Payments 
 Fees shall be paid quarterly on or about the last day of each March, June, September and December and shall be paid to the Director, or to the Bank’s
Director Deferred Compensation Plan upon timely election by the Director, or to the Director’s employer pursuant to the terms of the employer’s authorized charitable contribution plan. Annual Committee Chair fees shall be paid pro-rata on
a quarterly basis, and to be eligible for a Committee Chair fee the Director must be designated by the Board as Chair as of the last day of the quarter. Directors retiring or resigning from the Board shall be entitled to a pro-rata payment (measured
monthly) of their quarterly retainer.

 Exhibit 10.5 
 Board Approved

 Attendance Hardship Provision 
 If a director is unable to attend enough of the meetings of the Board or its committees in order to receive the full annual fee payment, the director may petition the Board for consideration of payment based on
hardship. The Human Resources committee will review the petition and will make recommendation to the Board on whether to make a hardship payment. Hardship will not include other ordinary business commitments. The Board and Human Resources committee
will consider such petitions on a case-by-case basis. 
 As part of the hardship provision, the Board may reimburse attendance for Board or
committee meeting conference calls (limited to $250 per call per day) and other special meetings attended on behalf of the Bank throughout the year. 
 Travel Expense Reimbursement 
 Travel expense reimbursement will be provided for board meetings, committee meetings,
director orientation, director educational seminars, or member events scheduled concurrently with board meetings, Federal Housing Finance Agency System meetings, Council of Federal Home Loan Bank meetings, Community Investment Conference meetings,
or Bank marketing meetings. Travel expenses include reasonable transportation, food, hotel expenses, and reasonable long-distance telephone and internet charges. 
 Expense Procedures 
  

	1.	No gift or entertainment expenses initiated by a director shall be reimbursed without being prearranged by the Bank. Each director should review the Bank’s Code of Conduct
concerning gift and entertainment restrictions. 

  

	2.	To qualify for reimbursement, all eligible expenses incurred must be submitted for payment to the Bank within 12 months of the date that the expenses were incurred. This requirement
may be waived, at the discretion of the Senior Vice President-Chief Financial Officer or by the Senior Vice President-Chief Accounting Officer, in the event of an error or omission. 

 Spouse/Guest Travel (Two Events per Year) 
 Expenses of a director’s spouse or guest may be reimbursed in accordance with the Travel Expense Policy subject to a limit of two travel events per year. Spousal entertainment expenses incidental to the hotel property or event
are permitted where prearranged by the Bank, subject to two travel events per year. Income tax reporting will be made by the Bank as required by law, on spousal/guest travel if the spouse or guest attends the event without a bona fide Bank
business purpose.

 Exhibit 10.5 
 Board Approved 
 November 13, 2008 
  
 Air Travel and First Class 
  

	1.	The Bank will pay the direct common carrier expense (as defined in paragraph 4 below) for a director between the director’s residence and the site of a Bank function and the
return. The actual cost of private air travel will not be reimbursed, but the equivalent direct common carrier expense (as defined in paragraph 4 below) may be substituted. 

  

	2.	The Bank will pay for a director and spouse or guest first-class air travel for two trips per year over 1.5 hours in flight time. Additional first-class travel is not allowed,
unless required due to scheduling or flight availability. 

  

	3.	If a director’s non-Bank activity requires a route to attend a Bank function which originates or terminates in a location other than the place of residence, the Bank will
reimburse the director an amount equal to the direct common carrier expense from the director’s location to the location of the Bank function and then to the director’s next intended destination (without regard to stops named as temporary
layovers), subject to a limit of an amount not to exceed two times the direct common carrier expense to the board meeting location and from the director’s residence and return to his residence. 

  

	4.	The “direct common carrier expense” shall be the regular market-rate coach or first-class fare as applicable, and should be documented by the director submitting an
expense report. The direct common carrier expense will also include any reasonable fees associated with air travel, including baggage fees and airport fees. These items should be documented by the director and included in the expense report. Travel
scheduling affecting the direct common carrier expense shall be reasonable, given the timing of the meetings. 

 Issues of Interpretation

 Unless expressly provided herein or in 12 CFR Part 918 (as amended), the Bank’s current Travel Policy as contained in the
Employee Manual shall control with respect to the travel expense reimbursement. The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s former Director Travel Policy (FHFB Resolution 93-12) is superseded, but may be used as non-binding precedent should issues of
interpretation arise. The General Counsel, Senior Vice President-CFO, and Senior Vice President-Chief Accounting Officer are authorized, in their respective reasonable discretion, to interpret the provisions of the policy and to address situations
not anticipated by the policy, consistent with the requirements set forth in the statute or the regulations promulgated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. 
 Human Resources Committee Annual Review 
 The Human Resources Committee shall annually review this policy and shall
submit its recommendation to the board for approval no later than the last regularly scheduled meeting of the board for the year.
