Preamble

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (the “Bank”) participates in the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (“Retirement Fund”), a defined benefit retirement plan qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for employees of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. The Retirement Fund provides benefits to employees based upon age at retirement, years of service and high three-year average salary.

However, as a result of the limitations imposed upon the aggregate amount of benefits that a Participant may receive from the Retirement Fund under Section 415 and other sections of the Code, such limitations causing a reduction in the benefits otherwise provided to certain of the Bank’s executives, the Bank has adopted this nonqualified, unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Plan”). The purpose of this Plan is to allow certain executives whose benefits under the Retirement Fund would otherwise be significantly restricted by the terms of the Retirement Fund itself or the Code to receive benefits under the Plan in order to make up the benefits lost under the Retirement Fund.

Article III

Amount and Payment of Supplemental Benefits

3.1

 

Obligation to Pay the Supplemental Benefits — Events Which Trigger Payment . The Supplemental Benefits under this Plan shall be payable by the Bank only with respect to Participants who die or terminate employment with the Bank with vested benefits from the Retirement Fund. Consistent with Section 5.2, such Supplemental Benefits shall be payable only from the general assets of the Bank.

 

3.2

 

Amount of Supplemental Benefits . Except in the case of Participant’s death while in active service, the value, if any, of the Supplemental Benefits shall be equal to the excess of (a) over (b), where:

 

(a)

 

is the value of the benefit that would be payable (in a lump sum) as calculated by the Retirement Fund (for services to the Bank) to, or on account of the Participant in the Retirement Fund, if the provisions of the Retirement Fund were administered:

 

 

(i)

 

without regard to the limitations imposed by Section 401(a)(17) and Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

(ii)

 

with benefit service calculated from date of hire with the Bank;

 

 

(iii)

 

with restoration of Compensation reduced as a result of the Participant’s deferral of such Compensation under the terms of the Supplemental Thrift Plan; and

 

 

(iv)

 

using the Compensation definition in this Plan.

 

(b)

 

is the value of the benefit as calculated by the Retirement Fund in a lump sum (for services to the Bank), payable to or on account of the Participant in the Retirement Fund.

 

3.3

 

Amounts Vested as of 12/31/04 — Form of Payment of Supplemental Benefits . A Participant must file a written payment election with the Plan Administrator indicating the form of payment of Supplemental Benefits under this Plan; provided, however, that any election made within one year of the first day (January 1) of the calendar year in which the Participant would become eligible to receive payment of Supplemental Benefits under this Plan shall not be effective, and the election in effect immediately prior to the election(s) made within such one-year period shall be deemed to be the election of the Participant. It is expressly agreed that, except in the case of a Participant’s death in active service or as otherwise provided in this Plan, initial payment of Supplemental Benefits due to a Participant under this Plan shall begin within 90 days following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service, as defined above. The manner in which such Supplemental Benefits are paid to a Participant shall be in accordance with the

Participant’s payment election then in effect. If the Participant has elected a single lump sum payment, such payment shall be made within 90 days of Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Participant has elected a form of payment other than a single lump sum payment, the initial installment shall be paid within 90 days of Participant’s Separation from Service and each remaining annual payment shall be made no later than March 31 of each succeeding year. The available forms of payment of the Supplemental Benefits payable hereunder shall be as follows:

 

(a)

 

a life annuity over the life of the Participant;

 

 

(b)

 

a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity over the life of the Participant and Participant’s spouse;

 

 

(c)

 

a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity over the life of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse;

 

 

(d)

 

a revised retirement allowance during life with some other benefit payable upon the Participant’s death, where either a dollar amount or percentage of the retirement allowance and death benefit respectively are specified in the payment election;

 

 

(e)

 

a single lump sum payment; or

 

 

(f)

 

a partial lump sum payment equal to 25 percent, 50 percent or 75 percent of the total benefit and an annual allowance for the remainder of the benefit which must commence at the time of the partial lump sum payment.

If a Participant fails for any reason to have a valid and effective written payment election hereunder, Supplemental Benefits under this Plan shall be paid within 90 days of the later of the first day of the month in which the Participant has a Separation from Service or attains age 65 and shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum payment.

At any time when a Participant who is a party to a split dollar life insurance agreement with the Bank (an “SDA”) has an advance cash surrender value election in force under the SDA, such Participant shall, regardless of any other payment election made under this Plan, be deemed to have elected a single lump sum payment under this Plan. A Participant who is a party to an SDA and wishes to make a payment election under this Plan other than a lump sum payment may do so only if he/she revokes any advance cash surrender value election in force under the SDA.
