--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(i)           Each Notice of Borrowing shall indicate the amount of the Note and
the desired maturity date of such Note that National Rural requests to be
advanced.  A Notice of Borrowing may request preliminary pricing indications for
more than one type of Note, with the understanding that only one type of Note
will be issued on any particular Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed by the
parties hereto in a Pricing Agreement.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall also
provide name, telephone and email contact information of an authorized
representative of National Rural.
 
(ii)           Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from National Rural, Farmer
Mac shall, within two (2) Business Days, provide to National Rural a preliminary
indication of (A) the Fixed Rate for Fixed Rate Notes, (B) the Applicable Margin
and Floating Index for Floating Rate Notes, or (C) both, as applicable to any
Notice of Borrowing; provided that Farmer Mac shall not be obligated to provide
an indication of pricing if Farmer Mac uses its best efforts to obtain and
provide such preliminary indication, but determines in its sole discretion
reasonably exercised after consultation with National Rural that market
conditions are unfavorable for the issuance of debt to fund Notes with the terms
set forth in the Notice of Borrowing.  Upon an acceptance of such preliminary
indication of pricing by National Rural, the applicable Note will price within
one Business Day (and may price on the day of the preliminary pricing if the
parties so agree) thereafter, unless the parties otherwise agree to a longer
period of time as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement.  Farmer Mac
shall provide National Rural with written notice of the final (A) Fixed Rate for
Fixed Rate Notes, (B) Floating Index and Applicable Margin for Floating Rate
Notes, or (C) both, if applicable, no later than the time of pricing of each
advance.  National Rural shall be deemed to approve of such pricing so long as
the Fixed Rate (in the case of Fixed Rate Notes) or the Applicable Margin (in
the case of Floating Rate Notes) shall not exceed the preliminary indication by
more than 5 basis points (0.05%).  If the final pricing does exceed the
preliminary indication by more than 5 basis points (0.05%), an authorized
representative of National Rural may agree via email confirmation prior to or
simultaneously with the pricing to accept such Fixed Rate, Applicable Margin, or
both, if applicable.
 
(e)           Payments and Prepayments.  Each Note shall not be prepayable
during the term of such Note unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser, Farmer
Mac and National Rural and set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement.
 
(f)            Payment Notice.   Farmer Mac shall send to National Rural, not
later than the fifth Business Day prior to an Interest Payment Date for any
Note, a notice setting forth the amount of principal and interest, as
applicable, due and owing on such Interest Payment Date for such Note.
 
Section 2.03               Maturity.   Each Note shall mature on the applicable
Maturity Date.

ARTICLE IX
 
GUARANTEE
 
Section 9.01               Guarantee.
 
(a)           The Guarantor agrees to pay in full to the holder of each Note,
the principal of, and interest on, the Notes when due, whether at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), on the applicable due
date for such payment.
 
(b)           The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall inure to the benefit
of and shall be enforceable by any holder of a Note if, for reason beyond the
control of such holder, such holder shall have failed to receive the interest or
principal, as applicable, payable to such holder any payment date, redemption
date or stated maturity date.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
legality or enforceability of, or any change in or amendment to, this Agreement,
the Pledge Agreement or any Note, the absence of any action to enforce the same,
the waiver or consent by the holder of any Note or by the Collateral Agent with
respect to any provisions of this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, or any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.  The
Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest or
notice with respect to each Note or the interest represented thereby, and all
demands whatsoever, and covenants that the guarantee will not be discharged
except upon complete irrevocable payment of the principal and interest
obligations represented by the Notes.
 
(c)           The Guarantor shall be subrogated to and is hereby assigned all
rights of the holder of the Notes against National Rural and the proceeds of the
Pledged Collateral, all in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant
to the provisions of the guarantee contained in this Article IX.  Each holder
shall execute and deliver to the Guarantor in each holder’s name such
instruments and documents as the Guarantor may reasonably request in writing
confirming or evidencing such subrogation and assignment.
 
(d)           No reference herein shall alter or impair the guarantee, which is
absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of principal of, and
interest on, the Notes, on the dates such payments are due.
 
(e)           The guarantee is not an obligation of, and is not a guarantee as
to principal or interest by the Farm Credit Administration, the United States or
any other agency or instrumentality of the United States (other than the
Guarantor).
 
(f)           The guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, Federal law.  To the extent Federal law incorporates state law, that state
law shall be the laws of the District of Columbia applicable to contracts made
and performed therein.
 
Section 9.02               Control By The Guarantor.   If the Guarantor is the
Control Party, the Guarantor shall be considered the holder of all Notes
outstanding for all purposes under the Pledge Agreement and shall be permitted
to take any and all actions permitted to be taken by the holder thereunder.  The
Control Party will have the sole right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent or
any holder with respect to the Notes or exercising any power conferred on the
Collateral Agent with respect to the Notes provided that:
 
 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(i)           such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with the Pledge Agreement;
 
(ii)           the Collateral Agent shall have been provided with indemnity from
the Control Party reasonably satisfactory to it; and
 
(iii)           the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by
such Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction, provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent need not take any action which it determines
might expose it to liability.

[FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO NATIONAL RURAL]
 
[•]

Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation
1133 Twenty-First Street, NW
Suite 600
Washington, DC 20036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am delivering this opinion as general counsel (“Counsel”) of National Rural
Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, a District of Columbia cooperative
association (the “Borrower”), and am familiar with matters pertaining to the
loan to Borrower in the principal amount of $_______________, provided for in
Amended and Restated Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2011,
as well as the Supplemental Note Purchase Agreement dated as of _____________,
20___ (together, as from time to time amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”),
among the Borrower, Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (the “Purchaser”)
and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”).

I have examined such corporate records and proceedings of the Borrower, and such
other documents as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed.

I have also examined the following documents as executed and delivered: (a) the
Note Purchase Agreement; (b) the Note dated as of ____________, in the principal
amount of $____________ (“Note”), said Note payable to the Purchaser; (c) the
Pricing Agreement for $__________ [Fixed] [Floating] Rate Note dated as of
____________ among the Borrower, the Purchaser and Farmer Mac (the “Pricing
Agreement”) and (d) the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Pledge Agreement,
dated as of March 24, 2011, among the Borrower, the Purchaser, Farmer Mac and
U.S. Bank National Association (the “Pledge Agreement”).  The documents
described in items (a) through (d) above are collectively referred to herein as
the “Note Documents.”

Based on the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations hereinafter expressed, I am of the opinion that:

(1)           The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as
a cooperative association in good standing under the laws of the District of
Columbia with corporate power and authority to execute and perform its
obligations under the Note Documents.

(2)           The Note Documents have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Borrower, and such documents constitute the legal, valid and
binding agreements of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms.
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
ANNEX B
Page 2
 
(3)           Neither the execution nor the delivery by the Borrower of any of
the Note Documents nor the consummation by the Borrower of any of the
transactions contemplated therein, including, without limitation, the pledge of
the Pledged Securities (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) to
Farmer Mac, nor the fulfillment by the Borrower of the terms of any of the Note
Documents will conflict with or violate, result in a breach of or constitute a
default under any term or provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws
of the Borrower or any law or any regulation or any order known to Counsel
currently applicable to the Borrower of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Borrower
or the terms of any indenture, deed of trust, note, note agreement or instrument
to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its
properties is bound.

(4)           No approval, authorization, consent, order, registration, filing,
qualification, license or permit of or with any state or Federal court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Borrower is required
for any consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated by the
Note Documents; provided, however, no opinion is expressed as to the
applicability of any Federal or state securities law to any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Note after the date hereof.

(5)           Except as set forth in writing and previously delivered to Farmer
Mac or attached hereto as Exhibit A, there is no pending or, to Counsel’s
knowledge, threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or
governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator with respect to the
Borrower, or any of the Note Documents, which, if adversely determined, would
have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition or its
ability to perform its obligations under any of the Note Documents.

(6)           With respect to the Pledged Securities in the Certificate of
Pledged Collateral (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement), (x) all
action with respect to the recording, registering or filing of financing
statements in the jurisdiction of organization of National Rural has been taken
as is necessary to perfect the security interest intended to be created in such
items under the Uniform Commercial Code and (y) in the case of each Eligible
Security (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) constituting a
certificated security or instrument under the Uniform Commercial Code, such
Eligible Security has been delivered to the Collateral Agent such that the
taking and retention of the possession by the Collateral Agent of such Eligible
Security is sufficient to perfect the security interest to be created under the
Uniform Commercial Code.  For purposes of the opinion set forth in this section
(6), I have assumed that the Uniform Commercial Code of the District of Columbia
is the same as that of the State of New York.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
ANNEX B
Page 3
  
A.           I am a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia and render no
opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the District of
Columbia, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General
Corporation Law of the District of Columbia.

B.           My opinions are limited to the present laws and to the facts, as
they presently exist.  I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this
opinion should the present laws of the jurisdictions referred to in paragraph A
above be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

C.           The opinions expressed in paragraph 2 above shall be understood to
mean only that if there is a default in performance of an obligation, (i) if a
failure to pay or other damage can be shown and (ii) if the defaulting party can
be brought into a court which will hear the case and apply the governing law,
then, subject to the availability of defenses, and to the exceptions set forth
in the next paragraph, the court will provide a money damage (or perhaps
injunctive or specific performance) remedy.

D.           My opinions are also subject to the effect of:  (1) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting
creditors’ rights (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory and
other law regarding fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers and
preferential transfers); and (2) the exercise of judicial discretion and the
application of principles of equity, good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness,
conscionability and materiality (regardless of whether the applicable agreements
are considered in proceeding in equity or at law).

E.           This letter is rendered to you in connection with the Note
Documents and the transactions related thereto, and may not be relied upon by
any other person or by you in any other context or for any other purpose.

F.           I have assumed with your permission (i) the genuineness of all
signatures by each party other than the Borrower, (ii) the authenticity of
documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to me as copies, and (iii) the due
execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Note Documents by
each party other than the Borrower.

Yours sincerely,
  

John J. List
General Counsel
