        determination (in this paragraph referred to as the "excess
        amount") -

          require each Federal Home Loan Bank that is not allocated an
          amount under paragraph (5) that exceeds its maximum under
          paragraph (3) (in this paragraph referred to as a "remaining
          Bank") to purchase stock in the Funding Corporation (in

          such remaining Bank and subject to the maximum amount
          applicable with respect to such remaining Bank under
          paragraph (3) at the time of such determination) on behalf of
          the deficient Bank the amount determined under subparagraph
          (B);
            (ii) the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board shall
          require the deficient Bank to subsequently reimburse the
          remaining Banks out of its net earnings (or reimbursements

        (B) Allocation of excess amount among remaining Federal Home
          Loan Banks
          (i) In general
            The amount of stock each remaining Federal Home Loan Bank
          shall be required to purchase under subparagraph (A)(i) is
          the amount determined by the Thrift Depositor Protection
          Oversight Board by multiplying the excess amount by the
          percentage arrived at by dividing - 
              (I) the cumulative amount of stock in the Funding
            Corporation purchased under this subsection by such
            remaining Bank at the time of such determination; by
              (II) the aggregate of the cumulative amounts invested
            under this subsection by all remaining Banks at such time.
          (ii) Reallocation

          (3), such excess amount shall be reallocated to the other
          remaining Bank in accordance with this subparagraph.

          subparagraph (D)) to each Bank that made payments on its
          behalf until a full reimbursement has been completed. A full
          reimbursement shall require repayment of the excess amounts
          invested by other Banks plus interest which shall accrue at a
          rate equal to the annual average cost of funds in the most
          recent year to all Federal Home Loan Banks and which shall
          begin to accrue 2 years after the investments under
          subparagraph (A)(i) are made.
          (ii) Determination of amounts
            The Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board shall
          annually determine the dollar amounts of such reimbursements
          by distributing the amount available for such reimbursements
          (at the time of such determination) from the reimbursing Bank
          to the Banks that made purchases on its behalf according to
          the shares of the reimbursing Bank's excess amount that the
          other Banks invested.
        (D) Transfer to account for reimbursements required

          a purchase is made under subparagraph (A)(i) and any
          reimbursements received from other Banks, the amount
          necessary to make the reimbursements required under
          subparagraph (A)(ii) shall be placed in a reserve account
          (established in the manner prescribed by the Thrift Depositor
          Protection Oversight Board), which shall be available only
          for such reimbursements.
          (ii) Limitation
            The total amount placed in such reserve account in any year
          by any Bank shall not exceed an amount equal to 20 percent of
          the net earnings of such Bank for such year.
      (7) Additional sources

          Funding Corporation Principal Fund;

      unless, at the time of issuance, the face amounts (the amount of

          amount of interest payments, each Federal home loan bank
          shall pay to the Funding Corporation in each calendar year,

          and operating expenses).
          (ii) Annual determination
            The Board annually shall determine the extent to which the
          value of the aggregate amounts paid by the Federal home loan
          banks exceeds or falls short of the value of an annuity of
          $300,000,000 per year that commences on the issuance date and
          ends on the final scheduled maturity date of the obligations,
          and shall select appropriate present value factors for making
          such determinations, in consultation with the Secretary of
          the Treasury.
          (iii) Payment term alterations
            The Board shall extend or shorten the term of the payment
          obligations of a Federal home loan bank under this
          subparagraph as necessary to ensure that the value of all
          payments made by the Banks is equivalent to the value of an
          annuity referred to in clause (ii).
          (iv) Term beyond maturity
            If the Board extends the term of payment obligations beyond
          the final scheduled maturity date for the obligations, each
          Federal home loan bank shall continue to pay 20.0 percent of
          its net earnings (after deducting expenses relating to
          section 1430(j) of this title and operating expenses) to the
          Treasury of the United States until the value of all such
          payments by the Federal home loan banks is equivalent to the
          value of an annuity referred to in clause (ii). In the final
          year in which the Federal home loan banks are required to
          make any payment to the Treasury under this subparagraph, if
          the dollar amount represented by 20.0 percent of the net
          earnings of the Federal home loan banks exceeds the remaining
          obligation of the Banks to the Treasury, the Finance Board
          shall reduce the percentage pro rata to a level sufficient to
          pay the remaining obligation.
        (D) Proceeds from sale of assets
          To the extent the amounts available pursuant to subparagraphs
        (A), (B), and (C) are insufficient to cover the amount of
        interest payments, the FSLIC Resolution Fund shall transfer to
        the Funding Corporation any net proceeds from the sale of
        assets received from the Resolution Trust Corporation, which
        shall be used by the Funding Corporation to pay such interest.
        (E) Treasury backup
          (i) In general
            To the extent the amounts available pursuant to
          subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), and (D) are insufficient to
          cover the amount of interest payments, the Secretary of the
          Treasury shall pay to the Funding Corporation the additional
          amount due, which shall be used by the Funding Corporation to
          pay such interest.
          (ii) Liability of Funding Corporation
            In each instance where the Secretary is required to make a
          payment under this subparagraph to the Funding Corporation,
          the amount of the payment shall become a liability of the
          Funding Corporation to be repaid to the Secretary upon
          dissolution of the Funding Corporation (to the extent the
          Funding Corporation may have any remaining assets).

      obligation issued by the Funding Corporation shall be used to - 
          (A) purchase the capital certificates issued by the
        Resolution Trust Corporation under section 1441a of this title;
        or
          (B) refund any previously issued obligation the proceeds of

        (A).

      Corporation, at the direction of the Thrift Depositor Protection

      investment or deposit of which shall be under the authority or
      control of the United States or any officer of the United States.
      (6) Market for obligations

      purchase for their own accounts, accept as security, or otherwise

      offering of obligations issued under this section.
