Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 31, 2007, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLBank Pittsburgh") and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLBank Chicago") entered into a new Mortgage Partnership Finance ("MPF®") Services Agreement ("New Agreement") under which the FHLBank Chicago will continue to provide servicing, custodial and other services to the FHLBank Pittsburgh to support mortgages purchased by the FHLBank Pittsburgh from its members under the MPF Program. The New Agreement replaces the contract between the FHLBank Pittsburgh and FHLBank Chicago dated April 30, 2006. The term of the New Agreement commenced on September 1, 2007 and continues in force until terminated by either party upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice. Under the New Agreement, the FHLBank Pittsburgh shall pay to the FHLBank Chicago Transaction Services Fees ("TSF") based upon five basis points of the aggregate balance with respect to FHLBank Pittsburgh’s retained interest in certain loans FHLBank Pittsburgh purchased from its members through the MPF Program on or after May 1, 2006. The TSF is subject to annual increases of no more than one half basis point per year commencing in 2009. The total annual TSF is subject to a minimum of: a) $250,000 for 2008; b) $375,000 for 2009; and c) $500,000 in 2010; however, after 2010 the increase in such minimum in no event may exceed the increase in the consumer price index. The New Agreement also provides for certain post-termination fees.
