1.Employee’s employment by the Bank shall terminate no later than January 4, 2019 (“Effective Termination Date”).

During the Interim Employment Period, the Employee agrees that she will not be present at the Bank premises and that she will not be required to perform the regular duties of her position, but that she will promptly provide any information or assistance requested by the Bank related to her work for the Bank. Any such requests for information or assistance will come from Kania Lottie.

However, should Employee resign her employment with the Bank prior to January 4, 2019, or if the Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that Employee has violated any of the provisions

of this Agreement, the Bank may determine, in its sole discretion, not to offer such Separation and Release Agreement to Employee.

4.In exchange for the foregoing benefits, Employee irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges (i) FHLBI, (ii) its parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities, (iii) all of their present or former directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and contractors as well as (iv) all predecessors, successors and assigns thereof (collectively the "Released Parties") from any and all actions, charges, claims, demands, damages or liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, discovered or undiscovered, matured or unmatured, which Employee now has or may have had through the effective date of this Agreement, that arise out of or relate in any manner to Employee employment with FHLBI, the separation thereof, or any contract, plan, policy, or program, oral or written, between Employee and the Released Parties, or any potential claim described in this Agreement, or any other matter or claim from whatever cause based upon facts pre-existing to or existing at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

5.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing release, it shall include: (i) all claims or potential claims arising under any federal, state or local laws relating to the Parties’ employment relationship, including any claims Employee may possess pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §2000(d), et seq.; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq.; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.; the Indiana Civil Rights Law, as amended, I.C. 22-9-1, et seq.; the Indiana Wage Claim Statutes, I.C. 22-2-5-1 et seq.; and I.C. 22-2-9-1 et seq.; the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) et seq.; the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq.; the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. § 652 et seq.; the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 141 et seq.; the Immigration Reform and Control Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq.; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. § 2611 et seq.; and any other federal, state or local laws governing the Parties’ employment relationship; (ii) any claims on account of, arising out of or in any way connected with Employee’s employment with FHLBI, (iii) any claims alleged or which could have been alleged in any charge or complaint against FHLBI; (iv) any claims relating

6.The Parties agree that nothing contained herein shall purport to waive or otherwise affect any of Employee’s rights or claims that may arise after Employee signs this Agreement. It is further understood by the Parties that nothing in this Agreement shall affect any rights Employee may have under any Pension Plan, Savings Plan (i.e., 401(k) plan) provided by FHLBI as of the date of Effective Separation Date, such items to be governed exclusively by the terms of the applicable plan documents.

7.Employee also agrees not to sue any of the Released Parties with respect to any claims, demands, liabilities or obligations released by this Agreement. The Parties agree, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall:

8.Notwithstanding Employee’s right to file an administrative charge with the EEOC or any other federal, state, or local agency, Employee agrees that with her release of claims in this Agreement, she has waived, to the extent allowed by law, any right she may have to recover monetary or other personal relief in any proceeding based in whole or in part on claims released by Employee in this Agreement. For example, Employee waives any right to monetary damages or reinstatement

if an administrative charge is brought against the Bank whether by Employee, the EEOC, or any other person or entity, including but not limited to any federal, state, or local agency. Further, with Employee’s release of claims in this Agreement, Employee specifically assigns to the Bank Employee right to any recovery arising from any such proceeding.

9.Employee hereby acknowledges that:

10.FHLBI and Employee specifically reserve any and all rights to bring an action to remedy a breach of this Agreement.

11.Employee agrees not to make or publish any statement (orally or in writing) or instigate, assist, or participate in the making or publication of any statement that is in any way critical, negative, or derogatory or would libel, slander, or disparage or expose to contempt, or ridicule: (1) the FHLBI; (2) its products, services, affairs, or operations; or (3) the FHLBI’s directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees, job candidates or shareholders. However, the provisions of this Paragraph shall not interfere with the Employees rights as described in Paragraph 8, above. Employee understands and agrees that this Paragraph 12 is of the utmost importance to the Bank and is a material provision of this Agreement.

12.Employee shall keep the terms, amount and fact of this Agreement completely confidential and promises not to disclose any information concerning this Agreement or the terms of this settlement to anyone other than her immediate family and lawyers and financial advisors, who will be informed of and bound by this confidentiality clause. Employee shall respond to any inquiry about the status of her employment only by stating that the parties have mutually agreed to a transition period to allow for a smooth transition of her duties and that she will be resigning at the end of the year, unless required to say more by a court or agency that has power to require her to testify further. Employee acknowledges that revealing any other information would cause FHLBI injury and damages. Employee understands and agrees that this confidentiality provision is of the utmost importance to FHLBI and is a material provision of this Agreement.

13.Employee warrants under penalty of perjury that:

14.The Parties represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, they did not rely and have not relied upon any representations or statements made by any of the other Parties, or by any of the other Parties’ agents, representatives or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement.

15.This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and upon their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the respective Parties and to their administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

16.Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and the unenforceable or invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed modified to eliminate the invalid part, and, as so modified, such part, term or provision shall be deemed as part of this Agreement as though originally contained herein. Each party also agrees that, without receiving further consideration, they will sign and deliver such documents and do anything else that is necessary in the future to make the provisions of this Agreement effective.

17.No waiver of any condition or covenant contained in this Agreement or failure to exercise a right or remedy by any of the Parties hereto shall be considered to imply or constitute a further waiver by such Party of the same or any other condition, covenant, right or remedy.

18.This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Indiana and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by the laws of the State of Indiana without respect to its decisions on conflict of laws. Any lawsuit commenced to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Indiana, and if in federal court, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. The language of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either of the Parties.

19.With the exception of the Mandatory Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”), that the parties have already agreed to, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties and fully supersedes any and all prior conversations, agreements, or understandings between the Parties pertaining to this subject matter. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing executed by both Parties. The parties re-affirm herein that, unless expressly provided for in the Arbitration Agreement, this Agreement shall be enforced under the terms of the Arbitration Agreement.

20.Employee agrees to voluntarily cooperate with the Bank in connection with any legal matters, including but not limited to pending or future litigation, proceeding, or other matter which may be filed against or by the Bank with any agency, court, or other tribunal and concerning or relating to any matter falling within Employee’s knowledge or former area of responsibility. Employee agrees to provide reasonable assistance and completely truthful information and testimony in such matters including, without limitation, facilitating and assisting in the preparation of any underlying defense, responding to discovery requests, preparing for and attending deposition(s) as well as appearing in court to provide truthful testimony. The Bank agrees at its discretion to reimburse Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Bank associated with such assistance and testimony.

21.By making this Agreement, neither Employee nor the Released Parties admit that they have done anything wrong, including the commission of any tort, breach of contract, or violation of any federal, state or local statute, law, or ordinance. Neither the existence of this Agreement nor any of its terms shall be admitted into evidence in any proceeding except for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Agreement.

22.This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, fully enforceable counterpart for all purposes, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

23.Any action by any of the Released Parties to enforce any obligation or duty owed to them under this Agreement may be brought by FHLBI, its successor or assign without joinder of other affiliates of that corporation.

24.Employee is solely responsible for paying the appropriate taxes owed on the moneys being paid under this Agreement.

25.Because neither side can represent what position the Internal Revenue Service, or any other government entity, will take with respect to these payments, it is mutually agreed that each side will be responsible for any miscalculations for which it is legally responsible without indemnification or any other

recourse from the other side. If it is subsequently determined that Employee should have paid taxes on any amount which she did not pay taxes, the interest and penalties are her responsibility alone. The Parties expressly waive the right to seek indemnification or reimbursement from the other as the result of any government decision on the taxability of the amounts paid in settlement.

26.It is expressly agreed that this is a final Agreement and that in the event the Internal Revenue Service, or any other government entity, determines that Employee owes more taxes, she has no right to seek additional sums from FHLBI, even though the amount paid will decrease by the amounts owed to the government.

I affirm under the penalties of perjury under the laws of the State of Indiana that the statements made by me in Paragraph 14 of this Agreement are true and accurate.
