Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On April 7, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("Bank") formally adopted documents evidencing a ‘Thrift Restoration Plan’ ("TRP") and a ‘Profit Sharing Plan’ ("PSP").

The TRP applies to those employees of the Bank who were previously participants in the Thrift Plan Component of the Benefit Equalization Plan on November 10, 2009, the day that benefit was terminated by the Bank. In general, and subject to the specific terms of the TRP, benefits under the TRP will consist of the payment beginning in 2011 of an amount equal to six percent (6%) of each participant’s base rate of pay for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of payment, to the extent that such base rate of pay shall exceed the Internal Revenue Code limitations in effect with respect to such preceding calendar year.

The TRP is nondeferred and unfunded, and all benefits payable under the plan shall be paid solely out of the general assets of the Bank. Payments made under the TRP will not be part of any calculations made for purposes of determining payments to be made to Bank employees under any other benefit plan. The creation of the TRP was authorized by a resolution of the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted on January 21, 2010.

The PSP applies to those employees of the Bank who were previously participants in the Bank’s Nonqualified Profit Sharing Plan on November 10, 2009, the day that benefit was terminated by the Bank. In general, and subject to the specific terms of the PSP, benefits under the PSP will consist of payments beginning in 2011 in an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the sum of: (i) each participant’s base rate of pay for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of payment; and (ii) the amount of any award made to such participant under the Bank’s Incentive Compensation Plan in effect with respect to such preceding calendar year.

Payments made under the PSP are strongly connected to the performance of the Bank in that a significant portion of the potential payments available hereunder will depend on the satisfaction of the requirements under the Bank’s Incentive Compensation Plan. The PSP is nondeferred and unfunded, and all benefits payable under the PSP shall be paid solely out of the general assets of the Bank. Payments made under the PSP will not be part of any calculations made for purposes of determining payments to be made to Bank employees under any other benefit plan. The creation of the PSP was authorized by a resolution of the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted on January 21, 2010.
