Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation of Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

On January 28, 2010, the Bank's board of directors approved and adopted amendments to Articles II, III, IV, and VII of the Bank's bylaws. The Bank revised its bylaws as required by a final rule recently issued by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency) which implements provisions of the Federal Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

Article III of the Bank's bylaws regarding board composition and eligibility was revised to provide for the number and type of directorships consistent with the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations and to establish that at least two of the Bank's independent directorships shall qualify as public interest directors. New Sections 2, 3, and 4 were added to specify procedures regarding the nomination and election of independent directors, including consultation with the Bank's Affordable Housing Advisory Council on the nomination of independent directors. The revisions also include factors that the board of directors may consider in making independent director nominations. Previously, the bylaws required that the board consist of such persons as appointed and elected thereto in accordance with applicable law, without elaborating upon the relevant election procedures.

Articles II, IV and VII of the Bank's bylaws were revised to make technical corrections only.

The description of the changes of the revised and restated bylaws contained in this report are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the prior bylaws, a copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2008, as Exhibit 3.2 to the Bank's Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and by the revised and restated bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
