 - 4 -FHLBC Management Incentive Compensation Plan

 Exhibit 10.8.2 
  
 FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO 
 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
  

	I.	PURPOSE 

  
 Members of the Bank’s Management Committee (excluding the President & CEO) are eligible to participate in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to give a select group of management and highly compensated employees strong incentives to make difficult decisions and to expend exceptional efforts to enhance
the financial performance of the Bank. 
  
 Incentive compensation
is to be awarded by the President & CEO with approval of the Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms and conditions in this Plan. 
  

	II.	ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD 

  
 To receive an award under the Plan, the following eligibility conditions must be satisfied: 
  
 A. The recipient is a member of the Bank’s Management Committee (excluding the President & CEO) during the Plan
year or is a senior officer designated by the President & CEO to participate in the Plan; and 
  
 B. The recipient displays, in the judgment of the President & CEO, a commitment to the Bank as a whole and team spirit. 
  

	III.	PLAN CRITERIA AND MAXIMUM AWARD PERCENTAGE  

  

	 	A.	Plan Criteria 

  
 The Plan criteria consist of a series of corporate goals established annually (“Bank Criteria”) based upon the approved Business Plan for the
Plan year. The Bank Criteria will be communicated at the beginning of each Plan year and will specify: 
  

	 	(i)	Bank Criteria description; 

  

	 	(ii)	Plan Year Performance Target for each of the Bank Criteria; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Target Value or weighting attributed to each of the Bank Criteria. 

 The Bank Criteria, Performance Targets and Target Values for a Plan year shall be established by the
Personnel & Compensation Committee. 
  

	 	B.	Plan Administration 

  
 The Maximum Award Percentage is calculated by calculating the actual Plan year performance as a percent of target for each of the Bank Criteria
separately, multiplying the results for each criterion by its associated Target Value and adding the resulting totals to calculate the Award Coefficient Factor. 
  
 The total Award Coefficient Factor is applied to the Award Formula Table to determine the Maximum Award Percentage. The
Maximum Award Percentage and the Award Formula Table are established for each Plan year and communicated as part of the Plan Worksheet for that Plan year. 
  
 Except as may be otherwise determined in Section III.C., no award may exceed the maximum percentage specified for the Plan year multiplied by the
recipient’s base salary. 
  

	 	C.	Discretionary Management Awards 

  
 In any Plan year in which the Bank’s net income performance exceeds the Plan Year Performance Target for the Bank’s net income, the President
& CEO shall have the discretion to create a discretionary bonus pool which may be used to grant individual Discretionary Management Awards as set forth in this Section III.C. The amount of such discretionary bonus pool shall be determined at the
discretion of the President & CEO up to a percentage of net income above plan as established for each Plan Year by the Personnel & Compensation Committee. 
  
 If the President & CEO has created a discretionary bonus pool for a Plan year, the President & CEO shall also have
the discretionary authority to grant an additional incentive award (“Discretionary Management Award”) to recipients who are otherwise eligible to receive an incentive award under this Plan for the Plan year. The determination of the
recipients of a Discretionary Management Award and the amount of such Discretionary Management Award for each such recipient shall be in the sole discretion of the President & CEO, provided that the aggregate amount of Discretionary Management
Awards granted in any Plan year shall not exceed the amount of the discretionary bonus pool previously determined by the President & CEO for such year. A Discretionary Management Award is made to a recipient in 

  

 - 2 - 

 
addition to the incentive award made to such recipient pursuant to Section IV of this Plan and need not necessarily be related to the recipient’s base
compensation. The President shall not be required to distribute the full amount of any discretionary bonus pool. All Discretionary Management Awards shall be deemed to be an “award” for all purposes under this Plan. 
  
 The Personnel & Compensation Committee shall receive a report covering
Plan years where Discretionary Management Awards are granted. 
  

	IV.	INDIVIDUAL AWARD 

  
 The President & CEO shall establish one or more key goals for each eligible recipient. 
  
 The award to each eligible recipient shall be calculated by multiplying the Individual Award Percentage specified in the
Plan Worksheet (which takes into account the completion of personal goals) by the Maximum Award Percentage; and then multiplying the resulting percentage by the recipient’s actual base salary received during the Plan year. 
  

	V.	FORM OF PAYMENT 

  
 Payment shall be made as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	60% in cash 

  

	 	•	 	40% to the Stock Equivalent Account 

  

	 	A.	Cash 

  
 The cash portion of any award is payable after year-end results are reported and Personnel & Compensation Committee approval. 
  

	 	B.	Stock Equivalent Account 

  
 A Stock Equivalent Account (“SEA”) shall be established for each award recipient hereunder. Payments to the SEA shall be credited as
“shares” at $100 per share. “Shares” in the SEA shall earn interest at the same rate as the Bank’s net return on equity after REFCO during each corresponding 

  

 - 3 - 

 
quarter. Interest shall be paid in the form of additional and fractional “shares” in the SEA. The interest calculation method herein shall apply to
all existing SEA balances as of January 1, 1996. 
  
 SEA
“shares” and interest thereon are vested on March 1 in the year following the year in which such “shares” were first credited to the SEA. (For example, payment of an award for performance in 1996 would be credited in February of
1997 and would vest on March 1, 1998.) 
  
 Award recipients who
resign or whose employment is terminated shall have no interest in any SEA balance not yet vested, as provided above, as of their termination date and must withdraw all “shares” that have vested by such date. 
  
 SEA “shares” may be converted to cash and withdrawn, at the option
of the award recipient, as follows: (1) 50% upon vesting and (2) the balance one year after vesting. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
  

	 	(1)	the entire balance in a SEA (whether or not vested) of any award recipient, who dies while still employed at the Bank, shall be payable to such decedent’s heirs or legatees as
provided by law; and 

  

	 	(2)	the entire balance in a SEA (whether or not vested) of any award recipient who (i) is age 60 or older and (ii) retires (for purposes of the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund)
from active employment at the Bank shall be available upon such retirement to the award recipient; and 

  

	 	(3)	should any income tax become due based on payments to the SEA, such amount of tax shall become immediately available for withdrawal. 

  

	 	C.	Payment Deferral 

  
 An award recipient may elect to defer the receipt of all or any amount of the cash portion and/or the SEA share portion of any award under the Plan and to
have such amount applied to the purchase of Performance Units under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. An election relating to the cash portion must be made by November 1st of the Plan year for which the
award relates, and an election relating to the SEA share portion must be made by December 31st of the Plan year preceding the Plan year in which the SEA share portion will vest.
