 ARTICLE I 
 INTRODUCTION 
 Section 1.1 Purpose. The purpose of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Indianapolis 2005 Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to permit members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the “Bank”) to elect to defer
all or a portion of the fees payable to them for their services as Board members. It is the intention of the Bank that the Plan constitute a deferred compensation arrangement that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”). Consequently, the Plan will be administered and its provisions interpreted consistently with that intention. 
 Section 1.2 Effective Date; Plan Year. The “Effective Date” of the Plan is January 1, 2005. The “Plan Year” is the 12-month period beginning on each January 1 and
ending on the next following December 31. 
 Section 1.3 Administration. The Plan will be administered by an
administrative committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board, which will initially be the Human Resources Committee of the Board. The Committee, from time to time, may adopt any rules and procedures it deems necessary or desirable for
the proper and efficient administration of the Plan that are consistent with the terms of the Plan. Any notice or document required to be given or filed with the Committee will be properly given or filed if delivered to or mailed, by registered
mail, postage paid, to the Corporate Secretary of the Board of Directors, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, 8250 Woodfield Crossing Boulevard, Suite 400, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240. 
 Section 1.4 Supplements. The provisions of the Plan may be modified by supplements to the Plan. The terms and provisions of each
supplement are a part of the Plan and supersede any other provisions of the Plan to the extent necessary to eliminate any inconsistencies between the supplement and any other Plan provisions. 
 Section 1.5 Definitions. The following terms are defined in the Plan in the following Sections:

 ARTICLE II 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 Section 2.1 Eligibility. Any duly elected
and serving member of the Board (“Director”) may become a “Participant” in the Plan as of the later of the Effective Date or the date the individual becomes a Director. 
 Section 2.2 Participation. A Director will become a “Participant” by completing a deferral election form pursuant to Article
III. A Participant will cease to be an active Participant effective as of the date the Plan is terminated or the date the Director is no longer serving as a Director, so that he will not be entitled to make deferrals under Article III on or after
that date. 
 ARTICLE III 
 CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 
 Section 3.1 Participant Deferral Contributions. Subject to the
terms and limitations of this Article III, a Participant may elect, pursuant to Section 3.2, to have all or a portion of his Fees payable in any Plan Year withheld by the Company and credited as a “Participant Deferral Contribution”
under this Plan. The term “contribution” is used for ease of reference; however, credits are merely credits to each Participant’s Account, which is a bookkeeping account. The term “Fees” for purposes of this Plan means all
fees payable to the Participant for a Plan Year for the Participant’s services as a Director. 
 Section 3.2 Deferral
Elections. Participant Deferral Contributions will be withheld from a Participant’s Fees in accordance with the following terms and conditions. 
  

	 	(a)	Requirement for Deferral Elections. As a condition to the Bank’s obligation to withhold and the Committee’s obligation to credit Participant Deferral Contributions
for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Section 3.1, the Participant must complete and file a deferral election form with the Committee (in a format prescribed by the Committee). 

  

 2 

	 	(b)	Timing of Execution and Delivery of Elections. To be effective to defer any portion of a Participant’s Fees, a deferral election form must be filed with the Committee on
or prior to the last day of the calendar year preceding the Plan Year in which the services giving rise to the Fees are performed. For example, to defer Fees payable with respect to services performed during the 2007 Plan Year, an election must be
filed on or before December 31, 2006. 

  

	 	(c)	Initial Eligibility. In the case of the first Plan Year in which an individual becomes a Director, the deferral election form may be filed at any time within 30 days of the
date the individual becomes a Director (rather than the date specified under subsection (b)). This initial election will only apply to Fees paid for services performed after the filing of the deferral election form. This special initial eligibility
election rule will not apply if the Participant is or has been a participant in a deferred compensation arrangement required to be aggregated with this Plan under the rules of Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	(d)	Modification of Deferral Elections. Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.2(e), once made for a Plan Year, a deferral election will remain in effect for that Plan Year,
unless and until the election is revoked or a new election filed. The revocation or new election must be filed in accordance with the requirements of subsection (b) above. No deferral election may be changed for Fees payable for a Plan Year
after the last day of the election period described in subsection 3.2(b). For example, except as provided in subsection 3.2(e), any election in place for 2007 Fees may not be changed after December 31, 2006. 

  

	 	(e)	Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may cancel a Participant’s election to defer Fees if the Committee determines the Participant has
suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency. The cancellation will apply to the period after the Committee’s determination. The Participant must submit a signed statement of the facts causing the severe financial hardship and any other information
required by the Committee, in its sole discretion. An “Unforeseeable Emergency” is a severe financial hardship of the Participant or beneficiary resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant or beneficiary, the
Participant’s or beneficiary’s spouse, or the Participant’s or beneficiary’s dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)); loss of the Participant’s or beneficiary’s property due to casualty (including the need to
rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence; the need to pay for medical
expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication; the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)) or other similar extraordinary and
unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant or beneficiary. 

  

 3 

 Section 3.3 Plan Account. The Committee will establish and maintain an
“Account” on the Bank’s records under the Plan for each Participant and will increase and decrease a Participant’s Account as provided in Section 3.5. 
 Section 3.4 Investment Credits. A Participant’s Account will be increased or decreased to reflect the increase or decrease in the
value of the Investment Account established for the Participant pursuant to Section 7.2. 
 Section 3.5 Account
Allocations. As of each accounting date, each Participant’s Account will be: 
  

	 	(i)	Increased by the amount credited to the Account under Section 3.1 since the last accounting; 

  

	 	(ii)	Increased or decreased by the amount determined under Section 3.4 since the last accounting; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Decreased by any payment made under Article IV. 

 The accounting date
under this Section will be any date determined by the Committee. However, the accounting required under this Section must be made, at a minimum, as of the last day of each Plan Year quarter. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 Section 4.1 Time of Payment of Benefits. Except as provided in Sections 4.5 through 4.7, a Participant will receive or will begin to
receive payment of his Account balance (as determined under Article III) within 90 days following the date specified for payment or the commencement of payment effectively elected by the Participant as provided in this Section. 
  

	 	(a)	Timing of Execution and Delivery of Payment Election. A Participant may elect the date his Account balance will be paid or will begin to be paid by completing and filing with
the Committee an election form approved by the Committee. The specified date must be a date at least two years from the beginning of the Plan Year for which the first deferral under the Plan is made. To be effective, the election under this Section
must be filed with the Committee no later than the later of: (i) the time the Participant first makes a deferral election under this Plan (or under any other plan required to be aggregated with this Plan pursuant to the requirements of Code
Section 409A); or (ii) December 31, 2006. In lieu of specifying a date certain, a Participant may elect to have payment made or commenced within a specified period of time following the date the Participant experiences a
“Separation from Service.” If no date is specified, payment will be made or commenced within 90 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service. 

  

 4 

	 	(b)	Change of Time of Payment. An election as to the date payment will be made or commenced may be changed by a Participant by filing a new payment election form with the
Committee; provided, however, that: (i) the new election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the new election is filed, (ii) the single lump sum payment or the first payment of installment payments will be delayed
for a period of not less than five years from the date the payment or first payment would otherwise have been made, and (iii) the new election is filed with the Committee at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under
the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	Separation form Service. “Separation from Service” means the date on which the Participant ceases to be a Director, for any reason. 

 Section 4.2 Method of Payment. Except as provided in Sections 4.5 through 4.7, the balance of a Participant’s Account will be
distributed in cash in one of the following methods effectively elected by the Participant: 
  

	 	(a)	A single lump sum payment; 

  

	 	(b)	Annual installment payments over a period of two to 20 years; or 

  

	 	(c)	A combination of the methods specified in subsections (a) and (b). 

 Section 4.3 Method of Payment Elections. 
  

	 	(a)	Initial Election. A Participant may elect the method in which his Account balance will be paid to him under Section 4.2 in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Section. To make an election, a Participant must file an election with the Committee (on a form or forms prescribed by the Committee). To be effective, the Participant’s election of a payment method must be filed with the Committee by the
later of: (i) the time the Participant first makes a deferral election under the Plan; or (ii) December 31, 2006. If no election is made or if the election is not timely or properly made, distribution will be made in the form of a
single lump sum payment. 

  

	 	(b)	Change of Method of Payment. An election as to the manner of payment may not be changed after the payment has been made or payments have commenced. Prior to that time, a
Participant may change his election by filing a new election form with the Committee; provided, however, that: (i) the new election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the new election is filed; (ii) the single
lump sum payment or the commencement of installment payments with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made; and (iii) the new
election is filed at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	 Installments. If installment distributions are elected, the initial annual installment amount will be the Account balance otherwise payable in a single sum
multiplied 

  

 5 

	 	 
by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installment distributions. Subsequent annual installments
will also be a fraction of the unpaid Account balance, the numerator of which is always one but the denominator of which is the denominator used in calculating the previous installment minus one. For example, if five annual installment payments are
elected, the initial installment will be one-fifth of the vested single sum Account balance, the second installment will be one-fourth of the remaining Account balance and the third installment will be one-third of the remaining Account balance, and
so on. 

 Section 4.4 Vesting. A Participant will be fully “vested” in his Account balance at
all times. 
 Section 4.5 Death or Disability of the Participant. In the event a Participant Separates from Service due to
the Participant’s Disability or if the Participant dies or becomes Disabled before he has received his entire Account balance, the unpaid balance will be paid to the Participant, or in the event of his death to his designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries, in a single sum, within 90 days of the date of a determination by the Committee that the Participant is Disabled or within 90 days of the date of the Participant’s death. 
  

	 	(a)	Beneficiary Designations. A Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any amount payable under this Section as a result of his death. A Participant
may change his designation of beneficiaries at any time by filing with the Committee a written notice of the change on a form approved by the Committee. Each beneficiary designation filed with the Committee will cancel all previously filed
beneficiary designations. If no designation is in effect on the Participant’s death, or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, his beneficiary will be his surviving spouse, if any, and then his estate.

  

	 	(b)	Disability. A Participant is “Disabled” for purposes of the Plan if the Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The Committee will be the sole and final judge of whether a Participant is
Disabled for purposes of this Plan, after consideration of any evidence it may require, including the reports of any physician or physicians it may designate. 

 Section 4.6 Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event the Committee determines in its sole discretion that a Participant has experienced
an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined in Section 3.2(e), all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be distributed no later than 90 days following such determination, in a single lump sum payment. The Participant must submit a signed
statement of the facts causing the severe financial hardship and any other information required by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Payment under this section is subject to the following conditions: 
  

	 	(a)	 The emergency must not be able to be relieved through reimbursement or 

  

 6 

	 	 
compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent liquidation of such assets would not cause severe
financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	The amount of the distribution must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or
local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution) and must take into account any additional compensation available due to cancellation of a deferral election under Section 3.2(e). 

Section 4.7 Acceleration of Time of Payment. Except as provided in Section 4.6 or this Section, the time or schedule of
payment of a Participant’s Account provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 may not be accelerated. The time or schedule of payment of a Participant’s Account may be accelerated in the following circumstances, each of which is an
“Acceleration Event,” to a time that is no later than 90 days following the Committee’s determination that one of the Acceleration Events has occurred, and payment will be made in the form of a single lump sum: 
  

	 	(a)	Domestic Relations Order. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated to make a payment to an individual other than the Participant
as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)). 

  

	 	(b)	Conflicts of Interest. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated as may be necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture
(as defined in Code Section 1043(b)(2)). 

  

	 	(c)	Income Inclusion Under Code Section 409A. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated to pay the income tax, interest and
penalties imposed if the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided, however, such payment will not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A. 

  

	 	(d)	Plan Termination. The time or schedule of payment or commencement of payments from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated when the Plan is terminated in accordance
with one of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	The Company terminates the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
§503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of: 

  

	 	(A)	The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs; 

  

	 	(B)	The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or 

  

 7 

	 	(C)	The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Company’s termination of Plan within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a change in control event (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(g)(4)(i)).
For purposes of this paragraph the Plan may be terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Company are terminated, so that the Participants in the Plan and all Participants under substantially similar arrangements are
required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated Plan and other arrangements within 12 months of the date of termination of the Plan and other arrangements. 

  

	 	(iii)	The Company’s termination of the Plan, provided that: 

  

	 	(A)	All arrangements sponsored by the Company, that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c) if the Participant participated in
all of the arrangements, are terminated; 

  

	 	(B)	No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination of the
arrangements; 

  

	 	(C)	All payments are made within 24 months of the termination of the arrangements; and 

  

	 	(D)	The Company does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under §1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant participated in both
arrangements, at any time within five years following the date of termination of the Plan. 

  

	 	(iv)	Such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. 

ARTICLE V 
 PLAN ADMINISTRATION

 Section 5.1 Appointment of the Committee. The Committee, or a duly authorized officer or officers of the Bank
empowered by the Committee to act on its behalf under subsection 5.2(e), will be responsible for administering the Plan, and the Committee will be charged with the full power and the responsibility for administering the Plan in all its details.

  

 8 

 Section 5.2 Powers and Responsibilities of the Committee. 
  

	 	(a)	Committee Powers. The Committee will have all powers necessary to administer the Plan, including the power to construe and interpret the Plan documents; to decide all
questions relating to an individual’s eligibility to participate in the Plan; to determine the amount, manner and timing of any distribution of benefits or withdrawal under the Plan; to resolve any claim for benefits in accordance with Article
VI, and to appoint or employ advisors, including legal counsel, to render advice with respect to any of the Committee’s responsibilities under the Plan. Any construction, interpretation, or application of the Plan by the Committee will be
final, conclusive and binding. 

  

	 	(b)	Records and Reports. The Committee will be responsible for maintaining sufficient records to determine each Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and for
purposes of determining the amount of contributions that may be made on behalf of the Participant under the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	Rules and Decisions. The Committee may adopt such rules as it deems necessary, desirable, or appropriate in the administration of the Plan. All rules and decisions of the
Committee will be applied uniformly and consistently to all Participants in similar circumstances. When making a determination or calculation, the Committee will be entitled to rely upon information furnished by a Participant or beneficiary, the
Bank or the legal counsel of the Bank. 

  

	 	(d)	Application for Benefits. The Committee may require a Participant or beneficiary to complete and file with it an application for a benefit, and to furnish all pertinent
information requested by it. The Committee may rely upon all such information so furnished to it, including the Participant’s or beneficiary’s current mailing address. 

  

	 	(e)	Delegation. The Committee may authorize one or more officers of the Bank to perform administrative responsibilities on its behalf under the Plan. Any such duly authorized
officer will have all powers necessary to carry out the administrative duties delegated to such officer by the Committee. 

 Section 5.3 Liabilities. The individual members of the Committee will, in accordance with the Bank’s by-laws, be indemnified and held harmless by the Bank with respect to any alleged breach of responsibilities
performed or to be performed hereunder. 
 Section 5.4 Disclosure to Participant Upon Separation from Service. Within 90
days of a Participant’s Separation from Service or a termination of the Plan, the Bank will provide the Participant a comprehensive statement setting forth the value of the Participant’s benefit and the date and manner in which such
benefit, plus earnings or minus losses, will be paid out to the Participant. 
  

 9 

 Section 5.5 Plan Expenses. The expenses incurred for the administration and
maintenance of the Plan will be paid by the Bank. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 BENEFIT CLAIMS 
 While a Participant or beneficiary need not file a claim
to receive his benefit under the Plan, if he wishes to do so, a claim must be made in writing and filed with the Committee. If a claim is denied, the Committee will furnish the claimant with written notice of its decision. A claimant may request a
review of the denial of a claim for benefits by filing a written request with the Committee. The Committee will afford the claimant a full and fair review of such request. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 FUNDING AND TRANSFERS 
 Section 7.1 Unfunded Status. All contributions credited to a Participant’s Account will be invested in an irrevocable “rabbi
trust” (the “Trust”) to provide for the benefits created by the Plan. The Trust will be maintained in such a fashion that the Plan at all times for purposes of ERISA and the Code will be unfunded and will constitute a mere promise by
the Bank to make Plan benefit payments in the future. Any and all rights created under this Plan will be unsecured contractual rights against the Bank. 
 Section 7.2 Investments. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Bank will establish an investment account for each Participant under the Trust (the “Investment Account”). The
Investment Account will, consequently, at all times remain an asset of the Bank and will be subject to the claims of the Banks’ general creditors. A Participant may request that the Investment Account be allocated among available investment
options established by the Committee or the Board from time to time under the Investment Account. The initial allocation request may be made at the time of enrollment. Investment allocation requests will remain effective until changed in accordance
with procedures established by the Committee. 
  

 10 

 ARTICLE VIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
 Section 8.1 Amendment of the Plan.
The Bank may amend the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may not amend the Plan to reduce a Participant’s Account balance as determined on the day preceding the effective date of the amendment or
to otherwise retroactively impair or adversely affect the rights of a Participant or beneficiary. 
 Section 8.2 Termination
of the Plan. The Bank may terminate the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. Absent an amendment to the contrary, Plan benefits that had accrued prior to the termination will be paid at the times and in the manner provided for by the Plan at
the time of the termination. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.1 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed,
regulated and administered according to the laws of the State of Indiana, without reference to that state’s choice of law principles, except in those areas preempted by the laws of the United States of America in which case the federal laws
will control. 
 Section 9.2 Headings and Gender. The headings and subheadings in the Plan have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction of the Plan provisions. In any necessary construction, the masculine will include the feminine and the singular the plural, and vice versa. 
 Section 9.3 Spendthrift Clause. No benefit or interest available under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or a Participant’s beneficiary, either voluntarily or involuntarily. 
 Section 9.4 Counterparts. This Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, each one constituting but one and the same
instrument, and may be sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart. 
 Section 9.5 No Enlargement of Employment Rights.
Nothing contained in the Plan may be construed as a contract of employment between the Bank and any person, nor may the Plan be deemed to give any person the right to be retained as a director or limit the right of the Bank to dismiss a director.

 Section 9.6 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, neither the Company nor any
individual acting as an employee or agent of the Company will be liable to a Participant or any beneficiary for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in 

  

 11 

 
connection with the Plan, except when the same has been affirmatively determined by a court order or by the affirmative and binding determination of an
arbitrator, to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that person. 
 Section 9.7 Incapacity of Participant
or Beneficiary. If any person entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan is physically or mentally incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due (unless a prior claim for the distribution has been made
by a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative), then, unless and until a claim for the distribution has been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of the person, the Committee may provide for the distribution
to be made to any other individual or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of the person. Any payment made for the benefit of the person under this Section will be a payment for the account of such person
and a complete discharge of any liability of the Bank under and the Plan. 
 Section 9.8 Evidence. Evidence required of
anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying on the evidence considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 9.9 Action by Bank. Any action required of or permitted by the Bank under the Plan will be by resolution of the Board, or by a
person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board. 
 Section 9.10 Severability. In the event any provisions of the
Plan are held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and endorsed as if the illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in the
Plan. 
 Section 9.11 Information to be Furnished by a Participant. A Participant, or any other person entitled to
benefits under the Plan, must furnish the Committee with any and all documents, evidence, data or other information the Committee considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan. Benefit payments under the Plan are
conditioned on a Participant (or other person who is entitled to benefits) furnishing full, true and complete data, evidence or other information to the Committee, and on the prompt execution of any document reasonably related to the administration
of the Plan requested by the Committee. 
 Section 9.12 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action is commenced to enforce the
provisions of the Plan, attorneys’ fees will be paid by the Bank. 
 Section 9.13 Binding on Successors. The Plan
will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns, and the successors, assigns, designees and estates of a Participant. The Plan will also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor organization
succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Bank, but nothing in the Plan will preclude the Bank from merging or consolidating into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another organization which
assumes the Plan and all obligations of the Bank hereunder. The Bank agrees that it will make appropriate provision for the preservation of a Participant’s rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into to effect any
merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets. Upon such a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or transfer of assets and assumption of Plan obligations of the Bank, the term “Bank” will refer to such other organization and
the Plan will continue in full force and effect.

 ARTICLE I 
 INTRODUCTION 
 Section 1.1 Purpose. The purpose of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Indianapolis 2005 Supplemental Executive Thrift Plan (the “Plan”) is to permit certain management or highly compensated employees of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the “Bank”) to elect to defer compensation
from the Bank. It is the intention of the Bank that the Plan constitute a deferred compensation arrangement that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Consequently, the Plan
will be administered and its provisions interpreted consistently with that intention. 
 Section 1.2 Effective Date; Plan
Year. The “Effective Date” of the Plan is January 1, 2005. The “Plan Year” is the 12-month period beginning on each January 1 and ending on the next following December 31. 
 Section 1.3 Administration. The Plan will be administered by an administrative committee (“Committee”) appointed by the
Bank’s Board of Directors (“Board”), which initially will be the Human Resources Committee of the Board. The Committee, from time to time, may adopt any rules and procedures it deems necessary or desirable for the proper and efficient
administration of the Plan that are consistent with the terms of the Plan. Any notice or document required to be given or filed with the Committee will be properly given or filed if delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage paid, to the
Corporate Secretary of the Board of Directors, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, 8250 Woodfield Crossing Blvd., Suite 400, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240. 
 Section 1.4 Supplements. The provisions of the Plan may be modified by supplements to the Plan. The terms and provisions of each supplement are a part of the Plan and supersede any other provisions
of the Plan to the extent necessary to eliminate any inconsistencies between the supplement and any other Plan provisions. 
 Section 1.5 Definitions. The following terms are defined in the Plan in the following Sections:

 ARTICLE II 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 Section 2.1 Eligibility. Any employee of
the Bank who is a member of the Financial Institutions Thrift Plan as from time to time amended and adopted by the Bank (“Thrift Plan”), or who is not a member of the Thrift Plan because the employee has not yet met the Thrift Plan service
requirement, is eligible to become a “Participant” in the Plan, provided the employee is designated as a Participant by the Board in writing. Any employee of the Bank who is a member of the Thrift Plan or who is not a member of the Thrift
Plan because the employee has not yet met the Thrift Plan service requirement and who is an officer with a title of Vice President or a higher officer level, is automatically eligible to become a Participant without the need for designation by the
Board. 
 Section 2.2 Participation. A designated employee or otherwise eligible employee, will become a Participant as of
the later of the Effective Date, the date specified by the Board, or the date the employee satisfies the automatic eligibility provisions described in Section 2.1. A Participant may be removed as an active Participant by the Board effective as
of any date, so that the Participant will not be entitled to make deferrals under Article III on or after that date. 
  

 2 

 ARTICLE III 
 CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 
 Section 3.1 Participant Salary Deferral
Contributions. Subject to the terms and limitations of this Article, a Participant may elect, pursuant to Section 3.3, to have all or a portion of the Participant’s Salary payable in any Plan Year withheld by the Bank and credited as a
“Participant Salary Deferral Contribution” under the Plan. The term “contribution” is used for ease of reference; however, contributions are merely credits to each Participant’s Account, which is a bookkeeping account. The
term “Salary” for purposes of the Plan means a Participant’s base salary or wages and other cash compensation designated by the Committee as eligible compensation that is payable by the Bank, including amounts paid under the Sales
Incentive Plan or an equivalent successor plan (excluding any annual bonus), plus the amount of any salary reduction contributions made on behalf of the Participant under the Plan or under the Thrift Plan or a plan that qualifies under Code
Section 125 that would have been reported as taxable income on Form W-2 for that year but for the Participant’s deferral election and that is not deferred from a Participant’s Bonus. 
 Section 3.2 Participant Bonus Deferral Contributions. Subject to the terms and limitations of this Article, a Participant may elect,
pursuant to Section 3.3, to have all or a portion of the Participant’s Bonus payable for any Plan Year withheld by the Bank and credited as a “Participant Bonus Deferral Contribution” under this Plan. The term “Bonus”
for purposes of this Plan means the annual bonus payable to a Participant under the Bank’s “Executive Incentive Compensation Plan,” “Employee Incentive Plan” or “Internal Audit Incentive Plan” or any equivalent
successor plans that, at a minimum, have a performance period of at least 12 months. 
 Section 3.3 Deferral Elections.
“Participant Deferral Contributions” (including both Participant Salary Deferral Contributions and Participant Bonus Deferral Contributions) will be withheld from a Participant’s compensation in accordance with the following terms and
conditions. 
  

	 	(a)	Requirement for Deferral Elections. As a condition to the Bank’s obligation to withhold and the Committee’s obligation to credit Participant Deferral Contributions
for the benefit of a Participant pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, the Participant must complete and file a deferral election form with the Committee (in a format prescribed by the Committee). 

  

	 	(b)	Timing of Execution and Delivery of Elections. 

  

	 	(i)	 Salary. To be effective to defer any portion of a Participant’s Salary, a deferral election form must be filed with the Committee with respect to that
Salary on or prior to the last day of the calendar year preceding the Plan Year in which the services giving rise to the Salary are performed. For example, to defer Salary payable with respect to services performed 

  

 3 

	 	 
during the 2007 Plan Year, an election must be filed on or before December 31, 2006. 

  

	 	(ii)	Bonus. Notwithstanding the preceding subsection, a deferral election form may be filed with the Committee with respect to a Bonus until a date that is no later than six
months before the end of the performance period for which the Bonus is payable, if the Bonus is not both substantially certain to be paid and readily ascertainable at the time of the election. Such deferral election for a Bonus may be made only by a
Participant who has performed services for the Bank continuously from the date the performance criteria are established through a date no earlier than the date on which the Participant makes the deferral election applicable to the Bonus. For
example, a deferral election form for a Bonus attributable to the 2007 calendar year, payable in early 2008, may be filed on or before June 30, 2007, so long as the Bonus is not substantially certain to be paid or readily ascertainable by that
date and so long as the Participant has performed services continuously from the date the performance criteria are established through the date the deferral election for the Bonus is filed with the Committee. 

  

	 	(c)	Initial Eligibility. In the case of the first Plan Year in which an individual becomes a Participant, the deferral election form may be filed with the Committee at any time
within 30 days of the date the individual becomes a Participant (rather than the date specified under subsection (b)). This initial election will only apply to Salary or a Bonus paid for services performed after the filing of the deferral election
form. This special initial eligibility election rule will not apply if the Participant is or has been a participant in a deferred compensation arrangement required to be aggregated with this Plan under the rules of Section 409A.

  

	 	(d)	Modification of Deferral Elections. Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.3(e), once made for a Plan Year, a deferral election will remain in effect for that Plan Year,
unless and until the election is revoked or a new election filed. The revocation or new election must be filed in accordance with the requirements of subsection (b) above. No election may be changed for Salary or a Bonus payable for a Plan Year
after the last day of the election period described in subsection (b). For example, any election in place for 2007 Salary may not be changed after December 31, 2006, except as provided in subsection 3.3(e). 

  

	 	(e)	 Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may cancel a Participant’s election to defer Salary or Bonus if the Committee determines
the Participant has suffered an “Unforeseeable Emergency.” The cancellation will apply to the period after the Committee’s determination. The Participant must submit a signed statement of the facts causing the severe financial
hardship and any other information required by the Committee, in its sole discretion. An “Unforeseeable Emergency” is a severe financial hardship of the Participant or beneficiary resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant or
beneficiary, 

  

 4 

	 	 
the Participant’s or beneficiary’s spouse, or the Participant’s or beneficiary’s dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)); loss
of the Participant’s or beneficiary’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); imminent foreclosure
of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence; the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication; the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse
or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)) or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant or beneficiary. An Unforeseeable Emergency will be deemed to
occur if a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal from the Thrift Plan pursuant to Code Section 401(k) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3). 

 Section 3.4 Excess Matching Contributions. 
  

	 	(a)	Amount of Contribution. The Bank will make Excess Matching Contributions each Plan Year in an amount equal to the difference between (i) and (ii) below:

  

	 	(i)	The Matching Contributions which would have been allocated to the Participant’s account under the Thrift Plan for the Plan Year if the Participant Salary Deferral Contributions
(but not Bonus Deferral Contributions) were made to the Thrift Plan rather than this Plan, plus the amount of any Matching Contributions which, under the terms of the Thrift Plan as in effect prior to Plan Years beginning on and after
January 1, 1994, would have been refunded to the Participant. However, the amount in the previous sentence will be limited to an amount equal to the Participant’s Salary unreduced for Participant Deferral Contributions under this Plan for
the Plan Year multiplied by the maximum matching percentage applicable to the Participant under the Thrift Plan for that Plan Year. 

  

	 	(ii)	The amount of Matching Contribution actually allocated to the Participant’s account under the Thrift Plan for the Plan Year. 

 A “Matching Contribution” is the employer matching contribution made to the Thrift Plan by the Bank and allocable to a Participant’s
account under the Thrift Plan by reason of the Participant’s contributions made thereunder. 
  

	 	(b)	Additional Matching Contribution. In addition to the Excess Matching Contribution specified in subsection (a), the Bank may make an additional Excess Matching Contribution to
a Participant’s Account at any time prior to the March 15th following the Plan Year to which the Excess
Matching Contribution is attributable, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. 

  

 5 

	 	(c)	Allocation. An Excess Matching Contribution contributed for the benefit of a Participant for a Plan Year will be credited to a Participant’s Account at the time the Bank
would have made such contribution as a Matching Contribution under the Thrift Plan. 

 Section 3.5 Supplemental
Contributions. The Bank may, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, make a “Supplemental Contribution” under the Plan, in accordance with subsections (a) and (b). 
  

	 	(a)	Amount of Contribution. The Bank may, but is not required to, credit to a Participant’s Account such amount as the Board may in its discretion determine from time to
time, which amount will constitute a Supplemental Contribution under the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Timing of Contribution. A Supplemental Contribution may be credited to a Participant’s Account at any time prior to the March 15th following the Plan Year to which the Supplemental Contribution is attributable. 

 Section 3.6 Plan Account. The Committee will establish and maintain an “Account” on the Bank’s records under the Plan
for each Participant and will increase and decrease a Participant’s Account as provided in Section 3.8. 
 Section 3.7
Investment Credits. A Participant’s Account will be increased or decreased to reflect the increase or decrease in the value of the Investment Account established for the Participant pursuant to Section 7.2. 
 Section 3.8 Account Allocations. As of each accounting date, each Participant’s Account will be: 
  

	 	(i)	increased by the amount credited to the Account under Sections 3.1 through 3.5 since the last accounting; 

  

	 	(ii)	increased or decreased by the amount determined under Section 3.7 since the last accounting; and 

  

	 	(iii)	decreased by any payment made under Article IV. 

 The accounting date
under this Section will be any date determined by the Committee. However, the accounting required under this Section must be made, at a minimum, as of the last day of each Plan Year quarter. 
 Section 3.9 Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions and benefits with respect to
qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u). 
  

 6 

 ARTICLE IV 
 BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 Section 4.1 Time of Payment of Benefits. Except as
provided in Sections 4.5 through 4.7, a Participant will receive or will begin to receive payment of his Account balance within 90 days following the date specified for payment or the commencement of payment effectively elected by the Participant,
as provided in this Section. 
  

	 	(a)	Timing of Execution and Delivery of Payment Election. A Participant may elect the date his Account balance will be paid or will begin to be paid by completing and filing with
the Committee an election form approved by the Committee. The specified date must be a date at least two years from the beginning of the Plan Year for which the first deferral under the Plan is made. To be effective, the election under this Section
must be filed with the Committee no later than the later of: (i) the time the Participant first makes a deferral election under this Plan (or under any other plan required to be aggregated with this Plan pursuant to the requirements of Code
Section 409A); or (ii) December 31, 2006. In lieu of specifying a date certain, a Participant may elect to have payment made or commenced within a specified period of time following the date the Participant experiences a
“Separation from Service.” If no date is specified, payment will be made or commenced within 90 days following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. 

  

	 	(b)	Modification of Elections. An election as to the date payment will be made or commenced may be modified by a Participant by filing a new election form with the Committee;
provided, however, that: (i) the new election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the new election is filed, (ii) the single lump sum payment or the commencement of installment payments will be delayed for a period
of not less than five years from the date the payment or first payment would otherwise have been made, and (iii) the new election is filed with the Committee at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the Plan.

  

	 	(c)	 Separation from Service. “Separation from Service” means the date on which the Participant dies, retires or otherwise experiences a Termination of
Employment with the Bank. Provided, however, a Separation from Service does not occur if the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the government) if the period of such
leave does not exceed six months, or if the leave is for a longer period, so long as the individual’s right to reemployment with the Bank is provided either by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the
Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or contract, there will be a Separation from Service on the first date immediately following such six-month period. An Employee will incur a “Termination of
Employment” when a 

  

 7 

	 	 
termination of employment is incurred under Proposed Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)(ii) or any final version of such Proposed Regulation.

 Section 4.2 Method of Payment. Except as provided in Sections 4.5 through 4.7, the balance of a
Participant’s Account will be distributed in cash in one of the following methods effectively elected by the Participant: 
  

	 	(a)	A single lump sum payment; 

  

	 	(b)	Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installment payments over a period of 2 to 20 years; or 

  

	 	(c)	A combination of the methods specified in subsections (a) and (b). 

 Section 4.3 Method of Payment Elections. 
  

	 	(a)	Initial Election. A Participant may elect the manner in which his Account balance will be paid to him under Section 4.2 in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Section. To make an election a Participant must file an election with the Committee (on a form or forms prescribed by the Committee). To be effective, the election under this Section must be filed with the Committee no later than the later of:
(i) the time the Participant first makes a deferral election under the Plan (or under any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 409A); or (ii) December 31, 2006. If no
election is made or if the election is not timely or properly made, distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum payment. 

  

	 	(b)	Change of Method of Payment Election. An election as to the manner of payment may not be changed after the payment has been made or payments have commenced. Prior to that
time, a Participant may change his election by filing a new election form with the Committee; provided, however, that: (i) the new election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the new election is filed; (ii) the
single lump sum payment or the commencement of installment payments with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made; and (iii) the
new election is filed at least 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	 Installments. If installment distributions are elected, the initial installment amount will be the Account balance otherwise payable in a single sum
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installment payments. Subsequent installments will also be a fraction of the unpaid Account balance, the numerator of which is always one but
the denominator of which is the denominator used in calculating the previous installment minus one. For example, if five installment payments are elected, the initial installment will be one-fifth of the single sum Account balance, the second

  

 8 

	 	 
installment will be one-fourth of the remaining Account balance and the third installment will be one-third of the remaining Account balance, and so on.

 Section 4.4 Vesting. A Participant will be fully “vested” in his Account balance at all
times. 
 Section 4.5 Disability and Death. In the event a Participant Separates from Service due to the
Participant’s Disability or if the Participant dies or becomes Disabled before he has received his entire Account balance, the unpaid balance will be paid to the Participant, or in the event of his death to his designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries, in a single lump sum within 90 days of a determination by the Committee that the Participant is Disabled or within 90 days of the Participant’s death. 
  

	 	(a)	Beneficiary Designations. A Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any amount payable under this Section as a result of his death. A Participant
may change his designation of beneficiaries at any time by filing with the Committee a written notice of the change on a form approved by the Committee. Each beneficiary designation filed with the Committee will cancel all previously filed
beneficiary designations. If no designation is in effect on the Participant’s death, or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, his beneficiary will be his surviving spouse, if any, and then his estate.

  

	 	(b)	Disabled. A Participant is “Disabled” for purposes of the Plan if the Participant in question is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. A Participant who, by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan sponsored by
an Employer will be deemed to be Disabled. The Committee will be the sole and final judge of whether a Participant is Disabled for purposes of this Plan, after consideration of any evidence it may require, including the reports of any physician or
physicians it may designate 

 Section 4.6 Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event the Committee determines in
its sole discretion that a Participant has experienced an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined in Section 3.3(e), all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be distributed no later than 90 days following such determination, in a single
lump sum payment. The Participant must submit a signed statement of the facts causing the severe financial hardship and any other information required by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Payment under this Section is subject to the following
conditions: 
  

	 	(a)	 The emergency must not be able to be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s 

  

 9 

	 	 
assets, to the extent liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan.

  

	 	(b)	The amount of the distribution must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or
local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution) and must take into account any additional compensation available due to cancellation of a deferral election under Section 3.3(e). 

Section 4.7 Acceleration of Time of Payment. Except as provided in Section 4.6 or this Section 4.7, the time or schedule
of payment of a Participant’s Account provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 may not be accelerated. The time and schedule of payment of a Participant’s Account may be accelerated in the following circumstances, each of which is an
“Acceleration Event,” to a time that is no later than 90 days following the Committee’s determination that one of the Acceleration Events has occurred, and payment will be made in the form of a single lump sum: 
  

	 	(a)	Domestic Relations Order. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated to make a payment to an individual other than the Participant
as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)). 

  

	 	(b)	Conflicts of Interest. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated as may be necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture
(as defined in Code Section 1043(b)(2)). 

  

	 	(c)	Payment of Employment Taxes. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated to pay the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) tax
imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(a), where applicable, on compensation deferred under the Plan (the “FICA Amount”) as well as to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the
corresponding withholding provisions of state or local tax laws as a result of payment of the FICA Amount; provided, however, the total payment under this paragraph (c) will not exceed the aggregate of the FICA Amount and the related income tax
withholding. 

  

	 	(d)	Income Inclusion Under Code Section 409A. The time or schedule of a payment from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated to pay the income tax, interest and
penalties imposed if the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided, however, such payment will not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A. 

  

 10 

	 	(e)	Plan Termination. The time or schedule of payment or commencement of payments from a Participant’s Account may be accelerated when the Plan is terminated in accordance
with one of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	The Bank terminates the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
§503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of— 

  

	 	(A)	The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs; 

  

	 	(B)	The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or 

  

	 	(C)	The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Bank’s termination of the Plan within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a change in control event (as defined in Proposed Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-2(g)(4)(i) or any final version of such Proposed Regulation). For purposes of this paragraph the Plan may be terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Bank are terminated, so that the Participants in the
Plan and all Participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated Plan and other arrangements within 12 months of the date of termination of the Plan and other
arrangements. 

  

	 	(iii)	The Bank’s termination of the Plan, provided that - - 

  

	 	(A)	All arrangements sponsored by the Bank, that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c) if the Participant participated in all
of the arrangements, are terminated; 

  

	 	(B)	No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination of the
arrangements; 

  

	 	(C)	All payments are made within 24 months of the termination of the arrangements; and 

  

	 	(D)	 The Bank does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c) if the same
Participant participated in 

  

 11 

	 	 
both arrangements, at any time within five years following the date of termination of the Plan. 

  

	 	(iv)	Such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. 

ARTICLE V 
 PLAN ADMINISTRATION

 Section 5.1 Appointment of the Committee. The Committee, or a duly authorized officer or officers of the Bank
empowered by the Committee to act on its behalf under sub-section 5.2(e), will be responsible for administering the Plan, and the Committee will be charged with the full power and the responsibility for administering the Plan in all its details;
provided that the power to determine eligibility pursuant to Article II is reserved to the Board. 
 Section 5.2 Powers and
Responsibilities of the Committee. 
  

	 	(a)	The Committee will have all powers necessary to administer the Plan, including the power to construe and interpret the Plan documents; to decide all questions relating to an
individual’s eligibility to participate in the Plan; to determine the amount, manner and timing of any distribution of benefits or withdrawal under the Plan; to resolve any claim for benefits in accordance with Article VI and Supplement A, and
to appoint or employ advisors, including legal counsel, to render advice with respect to any of the Committee’s responsibilities under the Plan. Any construction, interpretation, or application of the Plan by the Committee will be final,
conclusive and binding. 

  

	 	(b)	Records and Reports. The Committee will be responsible for maintaining sufficient records to determine each Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and for
purposes of determining the amount of contributions that may be made on behalf of the Participant under the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	Rules and Decisions. The Committee may adopt such rules as it deems necessary, desirable, or appropriate in the administration of the Plan. All rules and decisions of the
Committee will be applied uniformly and consistently to all Participants in similar circumstances. When making a determination or calculation, the Committee will be entitled to rely upon information furnished by a Participant or beneficiary, the
Bank or the legal counsel of the Bank. 

  

	 	(d)	Application for Benefits. The Committee may require a Participant or beneficiary to complete and file with it an application for a benefit, and to furnish all pertinent
information requested by it. The Committee may rely upon all such information so furnished to it, including the Participant’s or beneficiary’s current mailing address. 

  

 12 

	 	(e)	Delegation. The Committee may authorize one or more officers of the Bank to perform administrative responsibilities on its behalf under the Plan. Any such duly authorized
officer will have all powers necessary to carry out the administrative duties delegated to such officer by the Committee. 

 Section 5.3 Liabilities. The individual members of the Committee will, in accordance with the Bank’s by-laws, be indemnified and held harmless by the Bank with respect to any alleged breach of responsibilities
performed or to be performed hereunder. 
 Section 5.4 Income and Employment Tax Withholding. The Bank will be responsible
for withholding from the Participant’s Salary or Bonus, from the contribution to the Plan, or from the distribution of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan, of all applicable federal, state, city and local taxes. 
 Section 5.5 Disclosure to Participant Upon Separation from Service. Within 90 days of a Participant’s Separation from Service or
a termination of the Plan, the Bank will provide the Participant a comprehensive statement setting forth the value of the Participant’s benefit and the date and manner in which such benefit, plus earnings or minus losses, will be paid out to
the Participant and stating that the Participant’s benefit is a liability of the Bank. 
 Section 5.6 Plan Expenses.
The expenses incurred for the administration and maintenance of the Plan will be paid by the Bank. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 BENEFIT CLAIMS 
 While a
Participant or beneficiary need not file a claim to receive his benefit under the Plan, if he wishes to do so, a claim must be made in writing and filed with the Committee. If a claim is denied, the Committee will furnish the claimant with written
notice of its decision. A claimant may request a review of the denial of a claim for benefits by filing a written request with the Committee. The Committee will afford the claimant a full and fair review of such request. The claim and claim review
process will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Supplement A. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 FUNDING AND TRANSFERS 
 Section 7.1 Unfunded Status. All contributions credited to a Participant’s Account will be invested in an irrevocable “rabbi trust” (the “Trust”) to provide for the benefits created by the Plan.
The Trust will be maintained in such a fashion that the Plan at all times for purposes of ERISA and the Code will be unfunded and will constitute a mere promise by the Bank to make Plan benefit payments in the future. Any and all rights created
under this Plan will be unsecured contractual rights against the Bank. 
  

 13 

 Section 7.2 Investments. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Bank will
establish an investment account for each Participant under the Trust (the “Investment Account”). The Investment Account will, consequently, at all times remain an asset of the Bank and will be subject to the claims of the Bank’s
general creditors. A Participant may request that the Investment Account be allocated among available investment options established by the Committee or the Board from time to time under the Investment Account. The initial allocation request may be
made at the time of enrollment. Investment allocation requests will remain effective until changed in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
 Section 8.1 Amendment of the Plan. The Bank may amend the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Bank may not amend the Plan to reduce a Participant’s Account balance as determined on the day preceding the effective date of the amendment or to otherwise retroactively impair or adversely affect the rights of a Participant or beneficiary.

 Section 8.2 Termination of the Plan. The Bank may terminate the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. Absent an
amendment to the contrary, Plan benefits that had accrued prior to the termination will be paid at the times and in the manner provided for by the Plan at the time of the termination. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.1 Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, regulated and administered according to the laws of the State of Indiana,
without reference to that state’s choice of law principles, except in those areas preempted by the laws of the United States of America in which case the federal laws will control. 
 Section 9.2 Headings and Gender. The headings and subheadings in the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and
will not affect the construction of the Plan provisions. In any necessary construction, the masculine will include the feminine and the singular the plural, and vice versa. 
 Section 9.3 Spendthrift Clause. No benefit or interest available under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or a Participant’s beneficiary, either voluntarily or involuntarily. 
 Section 9.4 Counterparts. This Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, each one constituting but one and the same
instrument, and may be sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart. 
  

 14 

 Section 9.5 No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan may be
construed as a contract of employment between the Bank and any person, nor may the Plan be deemed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of the Bank or limit the right of the Bank to employ or discharge any person with or without
cause. 
 Section 9.6 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, neither the Bank nor any
individual acting as an employee or agent of a Bank will be liable to a Participant or any beneficiary for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, except when the same has been affirmatively determined by a court
order or by the affirmative and binding determination of an arbitrator, to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that person. 
 Section 9.7 Incapacity of Participant or Beneficiary. If any person entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan is physically or mentally incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment
due (unless a prior claim for the distribution has been made by a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative), then, unless and until a claim for the distribution has been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of
the person, the Committee may provide for the distribution to be made to any other individual or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of the person. Any payment made for the benefit of the person under this
Section will be a payment for the account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Bank and the Plan. 
 Section 9.8 Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying on the evidence considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made
or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 9.9 Action by Bank. Any action required of or permitted by the
Bank under the Plan will be by resolution of the Board or by a person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board. 
 Section 9.10 Severability. In the event any provisions of the Plan are held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be
construed and endorsed as if the illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in the Plan. 
 Section 9.11
Information to be Furnished by a Participant. A Participant, or any other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, must furnish the Committee with any and all documents, evidence, data or other information the Committee considers necessary
or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan. Benefit payments under the Plan are conditioned on a Participant (or other person who is entitled to benefits) furnishing full, true and complete data, evidence or other information to the
Committee, and on the prompt execution of any document reasonably related to the administration of the Plan requested by the Committee. 
 Section 9.12 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action is commenced to enforce the provisions of the Plan, payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the terms set forth in the mandatory “Agreement to
Arbitrate” entered into between the Bank and the Participant. 
  

 15 

 Section 9.13 Binding on Successors. The Plan will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns, and the successors, assigns, designees and estates of a Participant. The Plan will also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor organization succeeding to substantially all of the
assets and business of the Bank, but nothing in the Plan will preclude the Bank from merging or consolidating into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another organization which assumes the Plan and all obligations of
the Bank hereunder. The Bank agrees that it will make appropriate provision for the preservation of a Participant’s rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into to effect any merger, consolidation, reorganization or
transfer of assets. Upon such a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or transfer of assets and assumption of Plan obligations of the Bank, the term “Bank” will refer to such other organization and the Plan will continue in full force and
effect. 
  

 16 

 SUPPLEMENT A 
 CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES 
 Section A-1 Procedures Governing the Filing of
Benefit Claims. All Benefit Claims must be filed on the appropriate claim forms available from the Committee or in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee for claim purposes. The term “Benefit Claim” means a request
for a Plan benefit or benefits, made by a Claimant or by an authorized representative of a Claimant, that complies with the Plan’s procedures for making benefit claims. The term “Claimant” means a Participant, a Surviving Spouse of a
Participant, a Beneficiary, or an Alternate Payee, who is claiming entitlement to the payment of any benefit payable under the Plan. 
 Section A-2 Notification of Benefit Determinations. The Committee will notify a Claimant, in accordance with Section A-3, of the Plan’s benefit determination within a reasonable period of time after receipt of a Benefit
Claim, but not later than 90 days (45 days in the case of a Disability Claim) after receipt of the Benefit Claim by the Plan. 
 If special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the Benefit Claim, the Committee will notify the Claimant of the extension prior to the termination of the initial period described above. The notice will indicate the special circumstances
requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to make the benefit determination. In no event will the extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial period. 
 In the case of a Disability Claim, the extension period will not exceed 30 days, unless prior to the end of first 30-day extension period, the Committee
determines that, due to matters beyond its control, a decision cannot be rendered within the extension period, in which case the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days. Every Disability Claim notice will
specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, the additional information needed to resolve those issues and the Claimant’s right to provide the
specified information within 45 days. If the extension is in effect due to the Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a Disability Claim, the period for making the benefit determination will be tolled from the date on
which the notice of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for information. The term “Disability Claim” means a request for a Plan benefit made by a Claimant due to the purported
Total and Permanent Disability of a Plan Participant. 
 Section A-3 Manner And Content of Notification of Benefit
Determinations. All notices given by the Committee will be given to a Claimant, or to his authorized representative, in a manner that satisfies the standards of 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(b) as appropriate with respect to the particular material
required to be furnished or made available to that individual. The Committee may provide a Claimant with either a written or an electronic notice of the Plan’s benefit determination. Any electronic notification will comply with the standards
imposed by 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). In the case of an Adverse Benefit Determination, the notice will set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: 
  

 A-1 

	 	(a)	The specific reasons for the adverse determination; 

  

	 	(b)	Reference to the specific Plan provisions (including any internal rules, guidelines, protocols, criteria, etc.) on which the determination is based; 

  

	 	(c)	A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to complete the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

  

	 	(d)	For a Disability Claim, the identification of any medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with Claimant’s Adverse Benefit
Determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon; and 

  

	 	(e)	A description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures. 

 The term “Adverse Benefit Determination” means a denial, reduction, or termination of, or a failure to provide or make payment (in whole or in part) for, any benefit payable under the Plan. 
 Section A-4 Appeal of Adverse Benefit Determinations. A Claimant who receives an Adverse Benefit Determination and desires a review of that
determination must file, or his authorized representative must file on his behalf, a written request for a review of the Adverse Benefit Determination, not later than 60 days 180 days for a Disability Claim after receiving the determination.

 The written request for a review must be filed with the Committee. Upon receiving the written request for review, the Committee will
advise the Claimant, or his authorized representative, in writing that: 
  

	 	(a)	The Claimant, or his authorized representative, may submit written comments, documents, records, and any other information relating to the claim for benefits; and

  

	 	(b)	The Claimant will be provided, upon request of the Claimant or his authorized representative, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information
relevant to the Claimant’s Benefit Claim, without regard to whether those documents, records, and information were considered or relied upon in making the Adverse Benefit Determination that is the subject of the appeal.

 Section A-5 Benefit Determination on Review. All appeals by a Claimant of an Adverse Benefit Determination
will receive a full and fair review by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan. In the case of a Disability Claim, the named fiduciary will not be: (i) the party who made the Adverse Benefit Determination that is the subject of the appeal,
nor (ii) the subordinate of that party. In performing this review for a Disability Claim, the named fiduciary will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant (or the Claimant’s
authorized representative) relating to the claim, without regard to 

  

 A-2 

 
whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination, and will not afford deference to the initial Adverse Benefit
Determination. For a Disability Claim, the named fiduciary will consult with a healthcare professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment and who was not consulted in connection with
the Adverse Benefit Determination and who is not the subordinate of such an individual if the named fiduciary believes that such a consultation is necessary to properly complete the review process. 
 Section A-6 Notification of Benefit Determination on Review. The Committee will notify a Claimant, in accordance with Section A-7, of the
Plan’s benefit determination on review within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 60 days (45 days in the case of a Disability Claim) after the Plan’s receipt of the Claimant’s request for review of an Adverse Benefit
Determination. If, however, special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review by the named fiduciary, the Claimant will be notified, prior to the termination of the initial 60-day (or 45 day) period, of the special
circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan expects to render the Plan’s benefit determination on review, which will not be later than 120 days (90 days in the case of a Disability Claim) after receipt of a request for
review. Provided, however, in the case of a Plan with a Committee or other group designated as the appropriate named fiduciary that holds regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly, the time limit of this Section will be modified in accordance
with 29 CFR 2560.503-1(i)(1)(ii) or 29 CFR 2560.503-1(i)(3)(ii), whichever is applicable. 
 If the extension period is in effect for a
Disability Claim but the extension is due to the Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review will be tolled from the date on which notification of the extension
is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information. 
 Section A-7
Manner and Content of Notification of Benefit Determination on Review. The Committee will provide a Claimant with notification of its benefit determination on review in a method described in Section A-3. 
 In the case of an Adverse Benefit Determination on review, the notification must set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

  

	 	(a)	The specific reasons for the adverse determination on review; 

  

	 	(b)	Reference to the specific Plan provisions (including any internal rules, guidelines, protocols, criteria, etc.) on which the benefit determination on review is based;

  

	 	(c)	A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to
the Claimant’s Benefit Claim, without regard to whether those records were considered or relied upon in making the Adverse Benefit Determination on review, including any reports, and the identities, of any experts whose advice was obtained.
