The Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans or L/C Credit Extensions:

Section 4.01. Corporate Existence, Power and Authority. 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 the 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

consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Consolidated Entities and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flow for such fiscal year for the Borrower and its Consolidated Entities, all in reasonable detail and certified (without any qualification as to the scope of the audit) by KPMG LLP or other independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Borrower, who shall have audited the books and accounts of the Borrower for such fiscal year;

(iii) with reasonable promptness, copies of all regular and periodical reports (including Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(iv) promptly after the public announcement of, or promptly after receiving a written notice of, a change (whether an increase or decrease) in any rating issued by either S&P or , Moody’s or Fitch, solely to the extent that the Borrower is then under an existing contract with such agency for the provision of ratings information pertaining to any securities of, or guaranteed by, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, a notice setting forth such change; and

(v) with reasonable promptness, such other information respecting the business, operations and financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Joint Venture as any Bank may, from time to time, reasonably request, including, without limitation, with respect to the performance and observance by the Borrower of the covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Reports or financial information required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this Section 5.03 shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Borrower posts such reports or financial information on the Borrower’s website (www.nrucfc.org) or at such other website as may be notified to the Administrative Agent and the Banks or when such reports or financial information are posted on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov; provided, that the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such posting; and provided further that the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of the reports or financial information required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this Section 5.03 to the Administrative Agent, if so requested by any Bank to the Administrative Agent, until written notice to cease delivering such paper copies is given by such Bank to the Administrative Agent.

Section 5.04. Default Certificates. Concurrently with each financial statement delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.03(b), the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, an Assistant Secretary-Treasurer or the Controller of the Borrower to the effect that the review of the activities of the Borrower during such year or the

appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon giving 5 Domestic Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower, and for so long as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Borrower, shall, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall have the right, with the consent of the Required Banks, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 15 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Bank Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

Section 7.09. Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers Not Liable. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Lead Arrangers, each in such capacity, any duties or responsibilities whatsoever.

Section 7.10. Calculations. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any calculation, apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith. If such calculation, apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Banks any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled or, if the amount due was not paid by the Borrower, to recover such amount from the Borrower.

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines that the London Interbank Offered Rate is not available in the manner set forth in the definition of London Interbank Offered Rate for any such Interest Period (each such Interest Period an “Affected Interest Period”) or

(b) in the case of a Committed Borrowing, Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent in writing that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered RateBenchmark, as determined by the Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, in either the case of clause (a) or clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, the Money Market LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day.

Section 8.02. Illegality. If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Bank in connection with any such

similar writing) and shall be given to such party (subject to subparagraph (b) below): (w) in the case of the Borrower:

Section 9.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the District of Columbia.

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