Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term Benchmark Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected LendersBanks may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the Effective Date, in the case of any Committed Loan or L/C Credit Extension or any obligation to make or participate in Committed Loans or L/C Credit Extensions, any Change in Law shall:

(i)    impose on any Bank Party any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Bank Party or participation therein; or

the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate referenced in clause (c) pay to each Bank Party on demand such additional amounts as are necessary to compensate for the increased cost to such Bank Party as a result of any Change in Law or (ii) convert such Bank Party’s Loans so affected by such Change in Law to a Base Rate Loan and pay any related breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.14 and any accrued increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.03. In determining such amount, such Bank Party will act reasonably and in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, and such Bank Party will pass such costs on to the Borrower only if such costs are passed on in a similar manner by such Bank Party to similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 8.03(b)), as determined by such Bank Party in its reasonable discretion. Each Bank Party’s determination of compensation shall be conclusive if made in accordance with this provision. Each Bank Party, upon determining that any increased costs will be payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such increased costs, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.03(b).

(c)    Each Bank Party will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank Party to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Bank Party in connection with any such designation. A Bank Party claiming compensation under this Section shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Bank Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Bank Party pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months90 days prior to the date that such Bank Party notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the six months90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

or (d) of such certification shall be provided upon written notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all documented reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all documented reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by counsel or in-house counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank Party against any transfer Taxes, documentary Taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Notes and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (unless solely attributable to such Bank) to pay such Taxes. This Section 9.03(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank Party, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, claims, demands and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by any Indemnitee (or by the Administrative Agent in connection with its actions as Administrative Agent hereunder) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to any Loans made by it which is greater than the proportion received by any

relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Governing Law. (a) This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

I, Nathan Howard, General Counsel of the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (the “Borrower”), am delivering this opinion at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.017(cb) of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit AgreementAmendment No. 1. Terms defined in the Amended and Restated Revolving CreditExtended Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. This opinion is limited to the laws of the District of Columbia.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1.    The Borrower is a cooperative association duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the District of Columbia and has the corporate power and authority and all material governmental licenses,

authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged. The Borrower is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business in which it is engaged makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not (after qualification, assuming that the Borrower could so qualify without the payment of any fee or penalty and retain its rights as they existed prior to such qualification all to an extent so that any fees or penalties required to be so paid or any rights not so retained would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Borrower), individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect upon the business or financial position of the Borrower.

2.    The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and deliver the Amendment No. 1 and each of the Notes dated the date hereof (the “Subject Notes”). The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and carry out the terms and provisions of the Amendment No.1, the Extended Agreement and the Subject Notes. The Amendment No. 1 and the Subject Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.2

3.    There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower by or before any court or any governmental authority, body or agency or any arbitration board which are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of the Borrower or the authority or ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Amended and Restated Revolving CreditExtended Agreement or the Subject Notes.

4.    No authorization, consent, approval or license of, or declaration, filing or registration with or exemption by, any governmental authority, body or agency is required in connection with the execution, or delivery by the Borrower of the Amendment No.1 or the Subject Notes or performance by the Borrower of the Amended and Restated Revolving CreditAmendment No. 1, the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes.

5.    The holders of the Borrower’s Members’ Subordinated Certificates are not and will not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the principal thereof or interest thereon solely because of withdrawing or being expelled from membership in the Borrower.

6.    6.    Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated Entity is in default in any material respect under any material agreement or other instrument

2 The opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement under New York law shall be provided by Borrower’s New York counsel, Foley & Lardner LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations.

to which it is a party or by which it or its property or assets is bound. No event or condition exists which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, such a default under any such agreement or other instrument. Neither the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit AgreementAmendment No. 1 or the Subject Notes, nor the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated or in the Extended Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Borrower is subject or any judgment, decree, award, franchise, order or permit applicable to the Borrower, or will conflict or be inconsistent with, or will result in any material breach of, any of the material terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute) a default under (or condition or event entitling any Person to require, whether by purchase, redemption, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower to perform any obligations prior to the scheduled maturity thereof), or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which it may be subject, or violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower, any agreement or indenture relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its certificate of incorporation and by-laws), which would be violated by the incurring of the Indebtedness to be evidenced by the Subject Notes.

7.    The Borrower has complied fully with all of the material provisions of each Indenture. No Event of Default (within the meaning of such term as defined in any Indenture) and no event, act or condition (except for possible non-compliance by the Borrower with any immaterial provisions of such Indenture which in itself is not such an Event of Default under such Indenture) which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under such Indenture. The borrowings by the Borrower contemplated by the Amended and Restated Revolving CreditExtended Agreement will not cause such an Event of Default under, or the violation of any covenant contained in, any Indenture.

8.    Set forth on Annex A attached hereto is a true, correct and complete list of all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each such Subsidiary and Joint Venture and the nature and percentage of the Borrower’s ownership of each such Subsidiary and Joint Venture.
