ARTICLE II
THE BONDS

Section 201. Authorization and Terms of Bonds. No Bonds may be issued under this Bond Indenture except in accordance with the provisions of this Article. There shall be issued under and secured by this Bond Indenture in one or more series of Bonds designated “Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds (Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka Project), Series 2017” (the “Bonds”), in the estimated aggregate principal amount of $36,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds to (1) acquire, construct and equip the Project, and (2) pay certain Costs of Issuance.

The Bonds shall be dated the date of their original issuance and delivery, be in denominations of $100,000 or more and shall mature on the Maturity Date, subject to prior redemption as provided in Article III hereof.

The Bonds shall bear interest from their date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the interest rate determined in accordance with Section 202 hereof, payable on each Interest Payment Date as herein provided until payment of the principal or redemption price thereof is made or provided for, whether at maturity, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise.

The Bonds shall be issuable as fully registered bonds without coupons in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Bond Indenture, with such necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as are permitted or required by this Bond Indenture. The Bonds may have endorsed thereon such legends or text as may be necessary or appropriate to conform to any applicable rules and regulations of any governmental authority or any custom, usage or requirement of law with respect thereto.

The Bonds shall be executed in the manner set forth herein and delivered to the Bond Trustee for authentication, but prior to or simultaneously with the authentication and delivery of the Bonds by the Bond Trustee the following documents shall be filed with the Bond Trustee:

When the documents specified above have been filed with the Bond Trustee, and when the Bonds shall have been executed and authenticated as required by this Bond Indenture, the Bond Trustee shall deliver the Bonds to or upon the order of the Original Purchaser thereof, but only upon payment to the Bond Trustee of the purchase price of the Bonds. The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, including accrued interest and premium thereon, if any, shall be immediately paid over to the Bond Trustee, and the Bond Trustee shall deposit and apply such proceeds as provided in Article IV hereof.

Section 202. Determination of Interest Rate and Principal Payments. The Bonds shall bear interest at 2% per annum from their date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date after the date of original issuance of the Bonds. The amount of interest payable with respect to any Bonds on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Principal shall be payable on the Maturity Date(s).

Section 203. Method and Place of Payment. The principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which on the respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Payment of the principal of the Bond shall be made upon the presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal payment office of any Paying Agent named in the Bond; provided, that so long as FHLBank is the sole Bondowner, the Trustee shall make payments of principal on such Bond by internal bank transfer or by wire transfer to an account at a commercial bank or savings institution designated by such Bondowner and located in the continental United States; provided, further, that upon any payment by internal bank transfer or by wire transfer of principal on such Bond, the Trustee shall record the amount of such principal payment on the registration books for the Bonds maintained by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer. If the Bond is presented to the Trustee together with such payment, the Trustee may enter the amount of such principal payment to reflect the reduced outstanding principal amount on the Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration books maintained by the Trustee shall be the official record of the principal amount on the Bond(s) at any time, and the Bondowner is not required to present the Bond for action by the Trustee, as bond registrar, with each payment of principal on the Bond. Payment of the interest on the Bond shall be made by the Trustee on each interest payment date to the person appearing on the registration books of the Issuer hereinafter provided for as the registered owner thereof on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the calendar month next preceding such interest payment date by check or draft mailed to such registered owner at such owner’s address as it appears on such registration books. In the event that FHLBank is the sole Bondowner, the Trustee is authorized to make interest payments on such Bond by internal bank transfer or by wire transfer to an account at a commercial bank or savings institution designated by such Bondowner and located in the continental United States. In addition, at the written request of any registered owner of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000, the principal and interest on this Bond shall be paid by electronic transfer to such owner upon written notice to the Trustee from such owner containing the electronic transfer instructions to which such owner wishes to have such transfer directed and such written notice is given by such owner to the Trustee not less than the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the calendar month next preceding such interest payment date. Any such written notice for electronic transfer shall be signed by such owner and shall include the name of the bank (which shall be in the continental United States), its address, its ABA routing number and the name, number and contact name related to such owner’s account at such bank to which the payment is to be credited.

Section 204. Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the County Clerk or Deputy County Clerk, and shall have the corporate seal of the Issuer affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. If any officer whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any Bonds shall cease to hold such office before the authentication and delivery of such Bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such person had remained in office until delivery. Any Bond may be signed by such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers to sign such Bond although at the date of such Bond such persons may not have been such officers.

No Bond shall be secured by, or be entitled to any lien, right or benefit under, this Bond Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Bond Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer or signatory of the Bond Trustee, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Bond Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Bonds executed by the Issuer to the Bond Trustee for authentication and the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Bonds as in this Bond Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Section 205. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Bond Trustee shall cause to be kept at its corporate trust office a register (referred to herein as the “bond register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bond Trustee shall provide for the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds as herein provided. The Bond Trustee is hereby appointed “bond registrar” for the purpose of registering Bonds and transfers of Bonds as herein provided.

Bonds may be transferred or exchanged only upon the bond register maintained by the Bond Trustee as provided in this Section. Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, and the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same maturity, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bonds may be transferred only (i) to a person who the Bondowner reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and only upon prior delivery to the Bond Trustee and the Issuer of an Investment Letter in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, signed by the transferee, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Bond Trustee, as bond registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Trustee, as bond registrar, duly executed by the Owner thereof or his attorney or legal representative duly authorized in writing.

All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Bond Indenture shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Trustee and thereafter disposed of as herein provided.

All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Bond Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

No service charge shall be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Bond Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds, and such charge shall be paid before any such new Bond shall be delivered. The fees and charges of the Bond Trustee for making any transfer or exchange and the expense of any bond printing necessary to effectuate any such transfer or exchange shall be paid by FHLBank. In the event any Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Bond Trustee, the Bond Trustee may impose a charge against such Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code, such amount may be deducted by the Bond Trustee from amounts otherwise payable to such Owner hereunder or under the Bonds.

The Bond Trustee shall not be required (i) to transfer or exchange any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of such Bond and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part, during a period beginning at the opening of business on any Regular Record Date for such Bonds and ending at the close of business on the relevant interest payment date therefor.

The Issuer, FHLBank, the Bond Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, FHLBank or the Bond Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Bond is registered as the Owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on, such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in this Bond Indenture, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and, to the extent permitted by law, neither the Issuer, FHLBank, the Bond Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Person in whose name any Bond shall be registered on the bond register shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Bond Indenture, and payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any such Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the Owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed as herein provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The Bond Trustee will keep on file at its corporate trust office a list of the names and addresses of the last known Owners of all Bonds and the certificate numbers of such Bonds held by each of such Owners. At reasonable times and under reasonable regulations established by the Bond Trustee, the list may be inspected and copied by the Issuer, FHLBank, or the Owners of 10% in principal amount of Bonds Outstanding or the authorized representative thereof, provided that the ownership of such Owner and the authority of any such designated representative shall be evidenced to the satisfaction of the Bond Trustee.

Section 206. Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds, the Issuer may execute, and upon request of the Issuer the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Bonds which are printed, typewritten, or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds. If temporary Bonds are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Bonds to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Bonds, the temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds upon surrender of the temporary Bonds at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Trustee, without charge to the Owner. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Bonds, the Issuer shall execute and the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, temporary Outstanding Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the security and benefits of this Bond Indenture.

Section 207. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds. If (i) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Bond Trustee, and the Bond Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Bond Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Bond Trustee to save the Issuer and the Bond Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Bond Trustee that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same maturity and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the Bond Trustee in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Issuer and the Bond Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.

Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the security and benefits of this Bond Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

Section 208. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or replacement, if surrendered to the Bond Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Trustee, and, if surrendered to any Paying Agent other than the Bond Trustee, shall be delivered to the Bond Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Trustee. The Issuer or FHLBank may at any time deliver to the Bond Trustee for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and delivered hereunder, which the Issuer or FHLBank may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Trustee. No Bond shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bond canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly provided by this Bond Indenture. All canceled Bonds held by the Bond Trustee shall be destroyed and disposed of by the Bond Trustee in accordance with applicable record retention requirements. The Bond Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and FHLBank a certificate describing the Bonds so canceled.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF BONDS

Section 301. Redemption of Bonds Prior to Maturity. The Bonds are subject to redemption and payment prior to maturity, at the option of the Issuer, which shall be exercised upon the written direction of FHLBank, in whole or in part, in an amount equal to or greater than the minimum authorized denomination, on any date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

Section 302. Election to Redeem; Notice to Bond Trustee. The Issuer shall elect to redeem Bonds subject to optional redemption upon receipt of a written direction of FHLBank. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer, the Issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date fixed by the Issuer pursuant to the written direction of FHLBank (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Bond Trustee) give written notice to the Bond Trustee directing the Bond Trustee to call Bonds for redemption and give notice of redemption and specifying the redemption date, the principal amount, and maturities of Bonds to be called for redemption, the applicable redemption price or prices and the provision or provisions of this Bond Indenture pursuant to which such Bonds are to be called for redemption.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply in the case of any mandatory redemption of Bonds under this Bond Indenture, and the Bond Trustee shall call Bonds for redemption and shall give notice of redemption pursuant to such mandatory redemption requirements without the necessity of any action by the Issuer or FHLBank and whether or not the Bond Trustee shall hold in the Debt Service Fund moneys available and sufficient to effect the required redemption.

Section 303. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed; Bonds Redeemed in Part. Bonds may be redeemed only in the principal amount of minimum authorized denominations of the Bonds or any integral multiple thereof.

If less than all Bonds are to be redeemed and paid prior to maturity pursuant to Section 301 hereof, such Bonds shall be redeemed from the maturity or maturities selected by FHLBank. If less than all Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Bond Trustee from the Bonds of such maturity which have not previously been called for redemption, by such method as the Bond Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions equal to minimum authorized denominations of the principal of Bonds of a denomination larger than such minimum authorized denominations.

Any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the place of payment therefor (with, if the Bond Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Trustee duly executed by, the Owner thereof or his attorney or legal representative duly authorized in writing) and the Issuer shall execute and the Bond Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of any authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such Owner in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered. If the Owner of any such Bond shall fail to present such Bond to the Bond Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, said Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the redemption date to the extent of the unit or units of principal amount in minimum authorized denominations called for redemption (and to that extent only).

In lieu of surrender under the preceding paragraph, payment of the redemption price of a portion of any Bond may be made directly to the Owner thereof without surrender thereof, if there shall have been filed with the Bond Trustee a written agreement of such Owner acceptable to the Bond Trustee in form and substance that payment shall be so made and that such Owner will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Bond unless prior to delivery thereof such Owner shall present such Bond to the Bond Trustee for notation thereon of the portion of the principal thereof redeemed or shall surrender such Bond in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed balance of the principal of the surrendered Bond.

The Bond Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and FHLBank in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

Section 304. Notice of Redemption. Unless waived by any Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Bond Trustee on behalf of the Issuer by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail, at least 15 days prior to the redemption date for the Bonds, the Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the bond register.

All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:

The failure of any Owner of Bonds to receive notice given as provided in this Section, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any Bonds. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given and shall become effective upon mailing, whether or not any Owner receives such notice.

Section 305. Deposit of Redemption Price; Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. Prior to any redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Bond Trustee or with a Paying Agent, from moneys provided by FHLBank, an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Such money shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such redemption price and shall not be deemed to be part of the Trust Estate.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bond shall be paid by the Trustee as trustee for the Issuer at the redemption price. Installments of interest with a due date on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Owners of the Bonds registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms of such Bonds and the provisions of Section 204. If any Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, or as otherwise provided under Section 303 in lieu of surrender, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Bond.

Section 407. Nonpresentment of Bonds. In the event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity or otherwise, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond shall have been made available to the Bond Trustee, all liability of the Issuer to the Owner thereof for the payment of such Bond, shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Bond Trustee to hold such funds in trust in a separate trust account, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of such Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Bond Indenture or on or with respect to said Bond.

The Bond Trustee may make any investments permitted by the provisions of this Section through its own bond department or short-term investment department or any affiliate thereof and may pool moneys for investment purposes. Any such Permitted Investments shall be held by or under the control of the Bond Trustee and shall be deemed at all times a part of the fund or account in which such moneys are originally held.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 701. Events of Default. The term “Event of Default,” wherever used in this Bond Indenture, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

With regard to any alleged Event of Default concerning which notice is given to FHLBank under the provisions of this Section, the Issuer hereby grants FHLBank full authority for the account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation, the nonperformance of which is alleged in said notice to constitute an Event of Default, in the name and stead of the Issuer, with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer could do and perform any such things and acts in order to remedy such Event of Default.

Section 702. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default described in subparagraph (a) or (b) of Section 701 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Issuer and FHLBank, declare the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, and the Trustee shall provide for payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as provided in Section 404 hereof.

If an Event of Default described in subparagraph (c) or (d) of Section 701 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding having been indemnified as provided in Section 802(e) hereof shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Issuer and FHLBank declare the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable.

On the date of acceleration of payment pursuant to the provisions of this Section, interest shall cease to accrue on the Bonds Outstanding.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, but before any judgment or decree for payment of money due on any Bonds has been obtained by the Bond Trustee as provided in this Article, the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding may, by written notice to the Issuer, FHLBank and the Bond Trustee, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 703. Exercise of Remedies by the Bond Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 711 hereof, upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default under this Bond Indenture, unless the same is waived as provided in this Bond Indenture, the Bond Trustee shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided under this Bond Indenture or by law:

Section 704. Bond Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Bonds or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Bond Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Bonds shall then be due and payable, as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise, and irrespective of whether the Bond Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Owner to make such payments to the Bond Trustee, and in the event that the Bond Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Owners, to pay to the Bond Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Bond Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Bond Trustee under Section 804.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Bond Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Owner any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Owner thereof, or to authorize the Bond Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Owner in any such proceeding.

Section 705. Limitation on Suits by Bondowners. No Owner of any Bond shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, under or with respect to this Bond Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy under this Bond Indenture, unless

it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Bond Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Bond Indenture or the rights of any other Owners of Bonds, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Owners or to enforce any right under this Bond Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Outstanding Bonds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Bond Indenture, however, the Owner of any Bond shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Bond on the respective stated maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and nothing contained in this Bond Indenture shall affect or impair the right of any Owner to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.

Section 706. Control of Proceedings by Bondowners. The Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall have the right, during the continuance of an Event of Default,

Section 707. Application of Moneys Collected. Any moneys collected by the Bond Trustee pursuant to this Article (after the deductions for payment of costs and expenses of proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys) together with any other sums then held by the Bond Trustee as part of the Trust Estate, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Bond Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Bonds and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

Whenever moneys are to be applied by the Bond Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such moneys shall be applied by it at such times, and from time to time, as the Bond Trustee shall determine, having due regard for the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Bond Trustee shall apply such moneys, it shall fix the date (which shall be an Interest Payment Date unless it shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such date shall cease to accrue. The Bond Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the Owner of any unpaid Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Bond Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.

Section 708. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Bond Trustee or to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 709. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Bond Trustee or of any Owner of any Bond to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Bond Trustee or to the Owners may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Bond Trustee or by the Owners, as the case may be.

Section 710. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to the provisions of Section 711 hereof, before any judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained by the Bond Trustee as provided in this Article, the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding may, by written notice delivered to the Bond Trustee and the Issuer, on behalf of the Owners of all the Bonds waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except for the following types of Events of Default:

Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Bond Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 711. Advances by Bond Trustee. If FHLBank shall fail to make any payment or perform any of its covenants in the Lease Agreement, the Bond Trustee may, at any time and from time to time, use and apply any moneys held by it under the Bond Indenture, or make advances, to effect payment or performance of any such covenant on behalf of FHLBank. All moneys so used or advanced by the Bond Trustee, together with interest at the Bond Trustee’s announced prime rate, plus 2% per annum, shall be repaid by FHLBank upon demand and such advances shall be secured under the Bond Indenture prior to the Bonds. For the repayment of all such advances the Bond Trustee shall have the right to use and apply any moneys at any time held by it under the Bond Indenture but no such use of moneys or advance shall relieve FHLBank from any Event of Default hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
THE BOND TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT

Section 801. Acceptance of Trusts; Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Bond Trustee accepts and agrees to execute the trusts imposed upon it by this Bond Indenture, but only upon the following terms and conditions:

Section 802. Certain Rights of Bond Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 801 of this Bond Indenture:

Section 803. Notice of Defaults. The Bond Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder except failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments to the Bond Trustee required to be made by Article IV of this Bond Indenture, unless the Bond Trustee shall have received specific notice in writing of such Event of Default by the Issuer, FHLBank, or the Owners of at least 10% in principal amount of all Bonds Outstanding, and in the absence of such notice so delivered, the Bond Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default except as aforesaid. Within 30 days after the Bond Trustee has actual knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder of which the Bond Trustee is required to take notice or has received notice as provided in this Section, the Bond Trustee shall give written notice of such Event of Default by first class mail to all Owners of Bonds as shown on the bond register maintained by the Bond Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Bond, the Bond Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Bond Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Owners.

Section 804. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Bond Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement

All such payments and reimbursements shall be made by FHLBank or the Person providing instructions to the Bond Trustee with interest at the rate of interest per annum equal to the prime rate announced from time to time by the Bond Trustee, plus 2%.

The Bond Trustee shall promptly notify FHLBank in writing of any claim or action brought against the Bond Trustee in respect of which indemnity may be sought against FHLBank, setting forth the particulars of such claim or action, and FHLBank will assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel satisfactory to the Bond Trustee and the payment of all expenses. The Bond Trustee may employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be payable by FHLBank unless such employment has been specifically authorized by FHLBank or in the opinion of the Bond Trustee FHLBank has failed to actively pursue the defense of such claim or action.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Lease Agreement, FHLBank has agreed to pay to the Bond Trustee all reasonable fees, charges, advances and expenses of the Bond Trustee, and the Bond Trustee agrees to look to FHLBank for the payment of all reasonable fees, charges, advances and expenses of the Bond Trustee and any Paying Agent as provided in the Lease Agreement. The Bond Trustee agrees that the Issuer shall have no obligation to pay or liability for any fees, charges and expenses of the Bond Trustee.

As security for the payment of such compensation, expenses, reimbursements and indemnity under this Section, the Bond Trustee shall be secured under this Bond Indenture by a first lien prior to the Bonds and the payment of interest, principal and premium, if any, thereon, and shall have the right to use and apply any trust moneys held by it under Articles IV and VII hereof.

Section 805. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Bond Trustee hereunder which shall be a bank or trust bank organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a principal trust office located in the State of Kansas, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Bond Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

Section 806. Resignation and Removal of Bond Trustee.

then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Bond Trustee, or (B) FHLBank or any Owner may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Bond Trustee and the appointment of a successor Bond Trustee.

Section 807. Appointment of Successor Bond Trustee. If the Bond Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Bond Trustee for any cause, FHLBank, with the written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (so long as no default or condition exists that with the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default hereunder or under the Lease Agreement has occurred and is continuing), or the Owners of a majority in principal amount of Bonds Outstanding (if a default or condition exists that with the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default hereunder or under the Lease Agreement has occurred and is continuing), by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing received by the Issuer and the retiring Bond Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Bond Trustee. The Issuer shall not be under any duty to accept the appointment of any successor Bond Trustee named by FHLBank if such successor Bond Trustee is not acceptable to the Issuer. In case all or substantially all of the Trust Estate shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee lawfully appointed, such receiver or trustee, by written instrument, may similarly appoint a temporary successor to fill such vacancy until a new Bond Trustee shall be so appointed by the Issuer or the Owners. If, within 30 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Bond Trustee shall be appointed in the manner herein provided, the successor Bond Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Bond Trustee and supersede the retiring Bond Trustee and any temporary successor Bond Trustee appointed by such receiver or trustee. If no successor Bond Trustee shall have been so appointed and accepted appointment in the manner herein provided, any Owner or the retiring Bond Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Bond Trustee, until a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor appointed as above provided. Every such successor Bond Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be a bank with trust powers or trust bank in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction in which it was created and by which it exists, meeting the eligibility requirements of this Article.

Section 808. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Bond Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Bond Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Bond Trustee shall become effective and such successor Bond Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Bond Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Bond Trustee, such retiring Bond Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument conveying and transferring to such successor Bond Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Bond Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Bond Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Bond Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 804, and thereupon, all duties and obligations of the retiring Bond Trustee hereunder shall cease and terminate. Upon request of any such successor Bond Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Bond Trustee all such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts. No successor Bond Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Bond Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 809. Merger, Consolidation and Succession to Business. Any corporation or association into which the Bond Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Bond Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Bond Trustee, shall be the successor of the Bond Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, and shall be vested with all of the title to the whole property or Trust Estate and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Bond Trustee then in office, any successor by merger or consolidation to such authenticating Bond Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Bond Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds.

Section 810. Co-Bond Trustees and Separate Bond Trustees. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, or in the enforcement or the exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Bond Trustee, or any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Bond Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, the Issuer shall (upon the written request of the Bond Trustee or of the Owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding) join with the Bond Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Bond Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Bond Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, or to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such person or persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right, protection, immunity or power in addition to those provided hereunder to the Bond Trustee deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section.

The Bond Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

It shall not be necessary for the required percentage of Owners of Bonds under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed Supplemental Bond Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such act shall approve the substance thereof.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 1001. Payment, Discharge and Defeasance of Bonds. Bonds will be deemed to be paid and discharged and no longer Outstanding under this Bond Indenture and will cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of this Bond Indenture if the Issuer shall pay or provide for the payment of such Bonds in any one or more of the following ways:

The foregoing notwithstanding, the liability of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds shall continue, but the Owners thereof shall thereafter be entitled to payment only out of the moneys and Defeasance Obligations deposited with the Bond Trustee as aforesaid.

Moneys and Defeasance Obligations so deposited with the Bond Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not be a part of the Trust Estate but shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. Such moneys and Defeasance Obligations shall be applied by the Bond Trustee to the payment (either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Bond Trustee may determine) to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such moneys and Defeasance Obligations have been deposited with the Bond Trustee.

Section 1002. Satisfaction and Discharge of Bond Indenture. This Bond Indenture and the lien, rights and interests created by this Bond Indenture shall cease, determine and become null and void (except as to any surviving rights of transfer or exchange of Bonds herein provided for) if the following conditions are met:

Thereupon, the Bond Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer a termination statement and such instruments of satisfaction and discharge of this Bond Indenture as may be necessary and shall pay, assign, transfer and deliver to the Issuer, or other Persons entitled thereto, all moneys, securities and other property then held by it under this Bond Indenture as a part of the Trust Estate, other than moneys or Defeasance Obligations held in trust by the Bond Trustee as herein provided for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.

Section 1003. Rights Retained After Discharge. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Bond Indenture, the rights of the Bond Trustee under Section 804 shall survive, and the Bond Trustee shall retain such rights, powers and duties under this Bond Indenture as may be necessary and convenient for the payment of amounts due or to become due on the Bonds and the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds as provided herein. Nevertheless, any moneys held by the Bond Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on any Bond remaining unclaimed for four years after the principal of all Bonds has become due and payable, whether at maturity or upon proceedings for redemption or by declaration as provided herein, shall then be paid without liability for interest thereon to FHLBank, and the Owners of any Bonds not theretofore presented for payment shall thereafter be entitled to look only to FHLBank for payment thereof and all liability of the Bond Trustee or any Paying Agent or the Issuer with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

ARTICLE XI

At the addresses of the Owners as shown on the bond register maintained by the Bond Trustee under this Bond Indenture.

If, because of the temporary or permanent suspension of mail service or for any other reason, it is impossible or impractical to mail any notice in the manner herein provided, then such delivery of notice in lieu thereof as shall be made with the approval of the Bond Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notice.

Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, if notice to Owners is given by first class mail, neither the failure to receive such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Owner shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Owners. Where this Bond Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Bond Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

The Bond Trustee shall, prior to the execution and delivery of any Supplemental Bond Indenture or consenting to any amendment to the Lease Agreement, cause notice of the proposed execution and delivery of such Supplemental Bond Indenture or Supplemental Lease Agreement together with a copy of the proposed Supplemental Bond Indenture or Supplemental Lease Agreement to be mailed to any rating agency then maintaining a rating on the Bonds at least 15 days prior to the proposed date of execution and delivery of such Supplemental Bond Indenture or Supplemental Lease Agreement.

Section 1102. Acts of Bondowners. Any notice, request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Bond Indenture to be given or taken by Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more substantially concurrent instruments of similar tenor signed by such Owners in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are transmitted to the Bond Trustee in any matter described in Section 1101 hereof, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer or FHLBank. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the ownership of Bonds, other than the assignment or ownership of a Bond, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Bond Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Issuer and the Bond Trustee, if made in the following manner:

In determining whether the Owners of the requisite principal amount of Bonds Outstanding have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Bonds registered in the name of the Issuer or FHLBank shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, unless FHLBank is the Owner of all of the Bonds, in which case such ownership shall not be disregarded.

Any notice, request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other action by the Owner of any Bond shall bind every future Owner of the same Bond and the Owner of every Bond issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Bond Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond.

Section 1103. Form and Contents of Documents Delivered to Bond Trustee. Whenever several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to the other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Whenever any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Bond Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Wherever in this Bond Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Bond Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report.

Section 1205. Severability. If any provision in this Bond Indenture or in the Bonds shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
