(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Bond Purchase Agreement, FFB shall make Advances to the Borrower from time to time under this Bond, in each case upon delivery to FFB of a written request by the Borrower for an Advance under this Bond, in the form of request attached to the Bond Purchase Agreement as Exhibit A thereto (each such request being an "Advance Request") and completed as prescribed in section 7.3.1 of the Bond Purchase Agreement.

4.    Principal Amount of Advances; Maximum Principal Amount.


The principal amount of each Advance shall be the particular dollar amount that the Borrower specified in the respective Advance Request as the "Requested Advance Amount" for the respective Advance; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made under this Bond shall not exceed the particular amount specified on page 1 of this Bond as being the "Maximum Principal Amount."  


		
	5.
	Maturity Dates for Advances.




Subject to paragraph 15 of this Bond, each Advance shall mature on the particular calendar date that the Borrower selected in the respective Advance Request to be the date on which the respective Advance is to mature (such date being the "Maturity Date" for such Advance), provided that such Maturity Date meets all of the criteria for Maturity Dates prescribed in section 7.3.1(a)(5) of the Bond Purchase Agreement.


6.    Computation of Interest on Advances.


(a) Subject to paragraphs 11 and 16 of this Bond, interest on the outstanding principal of each Advance shall accrue from the date on which the respective Advance is made to the date on which such principal is due.  


(b) Interest on each Advance shall be computed on the basis of (1) actual days elapsed from (but not including) the date on which the respective Advance is made (for the first payment of interest due under this Bond for such Advance) or the date on which the payment of interest was last due (for all other payments of interest due under this Bond for such Advance), to (and including) the date on which the payment of interest is next due; and (2) a year of 365 days (except in calendar years including February 29, when the basis shall be a 366-day year).  


(c) The basic interest rate for each Advance shall be established by FFB, as of the date on which the respective Advance is made, on the basis of the determination made by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to section 6(b) of the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973, as amended (codified at 12 U.S.C. § 2281 et seq.) (the "FFB Act"); provided, however, that the shortest maturity used as the basis for any rate determination shall be the remaining maturity of the most recently auctioned  United States Treasury bills having the shortest maturity of all United States Treasury bills then being regularly auctioned.  
 
     (d) In the event that (1) the Borrower has selected for any Advance a Maturity Date that will occur on or after the fifth anniversary of the Requested Advance Date for such Advance, and (2) the Borrower has elected for such Advance a prepayment/ refinancing privilege described in section 11.3 of the Bond Purchase Agreement, then the interest rate for such Advance shall

also include a price (expressed in terms of a basis point increment to the applicable basic interest rate) for the particular prepayment/refinancing privilege that the Borrower selected, which price shall be established by FFB on the basis of a determination made by FFB as to the difference between (A) the estimated market yield of a notional obligation if such obligation were to (i) be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, (ii) have a maturity comparable to the maturity of such Advance, and (iii) include a prepayment and refinancing privilege identical to the particular prepayment/refinancing privilege that the Borrower elected for such Advance, and (B) the estimated market yield of a notional obligation if such obligation were to (i) be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, (ii) have a maturity comparable to the maturity of such Advance, but (iii) not include such prepayment and refinancing privilege. 


7.    Payment of Interest; Payment Dates.


Interest accrued on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance shall be due and payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year (each such day being a "Payment Date"), beginning on the first Payment Date to occur after the date on which the respective Advance is made, up through and including the Maturity Date of such Advance; provided, however, that with respect to each Advance that is made in the 30-day period immediately preceding any Payment Date, payments of accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the respective Advance shall be due beginning on the second Payment Date to occur after the date on which such Advance is made. 


8.    Repayment of Principal; Principal Repayment Options.


    
(a) The principal amount of each Advance shall be payable in quarterly installments, which installments shall be due beginning on the first Payment Date to occur after the date on which the respective Advance is made, and shall be due on each Payment Date to occur thereafter until the principal amount of the respective Advance is repaid in full on or before the particular date specified on page 1 of this Bond as being the "Final Maturity Date" (such date being the "Final Maturity Date"); provided, however, that with respect to each Advance that is made in the 30-day period immediately preceding any Payment Date, principal installments shall be due beginning on the second Payment Date to occur after the date on which the respective Advance is made.


(b) In the respective Advance Request for each Advance, the Borrower must also select a method for the repayment of principal of such Advance from among the following options:


(1) "equal principal installments" -- the amount of each quarterly principal installment shall be substantially 










        




                                                                                              BOND - page 4




RUS



equal to the amount of every other quarterly principal installment and shall be sufficient, when added to all other such quarterly installments of equal principal, to repay the principal amount of such  Advance in full on the Final Maturity Date (notwithstanding the fact that the Borrower may have selected a Maturity Date for such  Advance that will occur before the Final Maturity Date);  


(2) "graduated principal installments" -- the amount of each of the first one-third (or nearest number of payments that rounds to one-third) of the total number of quarterly principal installments shall be substantially equal to one-half of the amount of each of the remaining quarterly principal installments, and shall be sufficient, when added to all other such quarterly installments of graduated principal, to repay the principal amount of such  Advance in full on the Final Maturity Date (notwithstanding the fact that the Borrower may have selected a Maturity Date for such  Advance that will occur before the Final Maturity Date); or


(3) "level debt service" -- the amount of each quarterly payment consisting of a principal installment and accrued interest shall be substantially equal to the amount of every other quarterly payment consisting of a principal installment and accrued interest, and shall be sufficient, when added to all other such level quarterly payments consisting of a principal installment and accrued interest, to repay the principal amount of such  Advance in full on the Final Maturity Date (notwithstanding the fact that the Borrower may have selected a Maturity Date for such  Advance that will occur before the Final Maturity Date).


(c) For each Advance, the amount of principal that shall be due and payable on each of the dates specified in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 8 shall be the amount of the principal installment due under a principal repayment schedule for the respective Advance that is computed in accordance with the principles of the particular method for the repayment of principal that is selected by the Borrower for such Advance from among the options described in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 8.  Except at the times described in the immediately following sentence, the method for the repayment of principal that is selected by the Borrower for any Advance, and the resulting principal repayment schedule that is so computed for such Advance, may not be changed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Advance for which the Borrower has selected a Maturity Date that will occur before the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower may change the particular method for the repayment of principal that was selected by the Borrower for the respective  Advance from either the "equal principal installments" method or the "graduated principal installments" method to the "level debt service" method at the time (if ever) that the Borrower elects to extend the maturity of such  Advance (as provided in paragraph 15 












        




                                                                                              BOND - page 5

of this Bond), effective as of the effective date of such maturity extension, or at the time (if ever) that the Borrower elects to refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advance (as provided in paragraph 18 of this Bond), effective as of the effective date of such refinancing, and the principal repayment schedule for such  Advance shall thereupon be newly computed in accordance with the "level debt service" method for the repayment of principal.  After the Borrower has selected the Final Maturity Date as the Maturity Date for any Advance, the Borrower may so change the particular method for the repayment of principal of any Advance, and the principal repayment schedule for such Advance shall be so newly computed, only at the time (if ever) that the Borrower elects to refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advance (as provided in paragraph 18 of this Bond), effective as of the effective date of such refinancing.


(d) With respect to each Advance that has a Maturity Date that will occur before the Final Maturity Date, the entire unpaid principal amount of the respective Advance shall be payable on such Maturity Date, subject to extensions of the maturity of such Advance (as provided in paragraph 15 of this Bond).  


(e) Notwithstanding which of the methods for the repayment of principal described in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 8 is selected by the Borrower for any Advance, the aggregate of all quarterly payments of principal and interest on such Advance shall be such as will repay the entire principal amount of such Advance, and pay all interest accrued thereon, on or before the Final Maturity Date.


9.    Fee.


(a)  A fee to cover expenses and contingencies, assessed by FFB pursuant to section 6(c) of the FFB Act, shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance for the period from the date on which the respective Advance is made to the date on which the principal amount of such Advance is due, not taking into account any maturity extensions permitted by paragraph 15 of this Bond (such period being the "Advance Period").  


(b) The fee on each Advance shall be:  


(1) 12.5 basis points (0.125%) per annum of the unpaid principal balance of such Advance for an Advance Period of 10 years or less; and


(2) 25 basis points (0.25%) per annum of the unpaid principal balance of such Advance for an Advance Period greater than 10 years.  


(c) The fee on each Advance shall be computed in the same manner as accrued interest is computed under paragraph 6(b) of 








        




                                                                                              BOND - page 6




RUS



this Bond, and shall be due and payable at the same times as accrued interest is due and payable under paragraph 7 of this Bond (adjusted as provided in paragraph 10 of this Bond if a Payment Date is not a Business Day).  The fee on each Advance shall be credited to RUS as required by section 505(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, as amended (codified at 2 U.S.C. § 661d(c)).   
 
10.    Business Days.


(a) Whenever any Payment Date, the Maturity Date for any Advance, or the Final Maturity Date shall fall on a day on which either FFB or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not open for business, the payment that would otherwise be due on such Payment Date, Maturity Date, or Final Payment Date, as the case may be, shall be due on the first day thereafter on which FFB and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are both open for business (any such day being a "Business Day").  


(b) In the event that any Payment Date falls on a day other than a Business Day, then the extension of time for making the payment that would otherwise be due on such Payment Date shall be (1) taken into account in establishing the interest rate for the respective Advance, (2) included in computing interest due in connection with such payment, and (3) excluded in computing interest due in connection with the next payment.  


(c) In the event that the Maturity Date for any Advance or the Final Maturity Date falls on a day other than a Business Day, then the extension of time for making the payment that would otherwise be due on such Maturity Date or the Final Maturity, as the case may be, shall be (1) taken into account in establishing the interest rate for such Advance, and (2) included in computing interest due in connection with such payment.


11.  Late Payments.


(a) In the event that any payment of any amount owing under this Bond is not made when and as due (any such amount being then an "Overdue Amount"), then the amount payable shall be such Overdue Amount plus interest thereon (such interest being the "Late Charge") computed in accordance with this subparagraph (a).


(1) The Late Charge shall accrue from the scheduled date of payment for the Overdue Amount (taking into account paragraph 10 of this Bond) to the date on which payment is made.  


(2) The Late Charge shall be computed on the basis of (A) actual days elapsed from (but not including) the scheduled date of payment for such Overdue Amount (taking into account paragraph 10 of this Bond) to (and including) the date on which payment is made, and (B) a year of 365 






        




                                                                                              BOND - page 7




RUS



days (except in calendar years including February 29, when the basis shall be a 366-day year).  


(3) The Late Charge shall accrue at a rate (the "Late Charge Rate") equal to one and one-half times the rate to be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into consideration the prevailing market yield on the remaining maturity of the most recent auctioned 13-week United States Treasury bills.  


(4) The initial Late Charge Rate shall be in effect until the earlier to occur of either (A) the date on which payment of the Overdue Amount and the amount of accrued Late Charge is made, or (B) the first Payment Date to occur after the scheduled date of payment for such Overdue Amount.  In the event that the Overdue Amount and the amount of the accrued Late Charge are not paid on or before such Payment Date, then the amount payable shall be the sum of the Overdue Amount and the amount of the accrued Late Charge, plus a Late Charge on such sum accruing at a new Late Charge Rate to be then determined in accordance with the principles of clause (3) of this subparagraph (a).  For so long as any Overdue Amount remains unpaid, the Late Charge Rate shall be re-determined in accordance with the principles of clause (3) of this subparagraph (a) on each Payment Date to occur thereafter, and shall be applied to the Overdue Amount and all amounts of the accrued Late Charge to the date on which payment of the Overdue Amount and all amounts of the accrued Late Charge is made.


(b) Nothing in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 11 shall be construed as permitting or implying that the Borrower may, without the written consent of FFB, modify, extend, alter or affect in any manner whatsoever (except as explicitly provided herein) the right of FFB to receive any and all payments on account of this Bond on the dates specified in this Bond. 


12.    Final Due Date.


Notwithstanding anything in this Bond to the contrary, all amounts outstanding under this Bond remaining unpaid as of the Final Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date. 


13.    Manner of Making Payments.


(a) For so long as FFB is the Holder of this Bond and RUS is the bond servicing agent for FFB (as provided in the Bond Purchase Agreement), each payment under this Bond shall be paid in immediately available funds by electronic funds transfer to the account of the United States Treasury (for credit to the subaccount of RUS, as bond servicing agent for FFB) maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York specified by RUS in a written notice to the Borrower, or to such other account as may

be specified from time to time by RUS in a written notice to the Borrower.


(b) In the event that FFB is the Holder of this Bond and RUS is not the bond servicing agent for FFB, each payment under this Bond, with the exception of the fee described in paragraph 9 of this Bond, shall be paid in immediately available funds by electronic funds transfer to the account of the United States Treasury (for credit to the subaccount of FFB) maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York specified by FFB in a written notice to the Borrower, or to such other account as may be specified from time to time by FFB in a written notice to the Borrower.  In the event that FFB is the Holder of this Bond and RUS is not the bond servicing agent for FFB, each payment of the fee described in paragraph 9 of this Bond shall be paid in immediately available funds by electronic funds transfer to the account of the United States Treasury (for credit to the subaccount of RUS) maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York specified from time to time by RUS in a written notice delivered by RUS to the Borrower.


(c) In the event that FFB is not the Holder of this Bond, then each payment under this Bond, with the exception of the fee described in paragraph 9 of this Bond, shall be made in immediately available funds by electronic funds transfer to such account as shall be specified by the Holder in a written notice to the Borrower.  In the event that FFB is not the Holder of this Bond, each payment of the fee described in paragraph 9 of this Bond shall be made in the manner specified by FFB in the written notice delivered by FFB to the Borrower and RUS as provided in section 15.4.2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement.


14.    Application of Payments.


Each payment made on this Bond shall be applied, first, to the payment of Late Charges (if any) payable under paragraphs 11 and 18 of this Bond, then to the payment of premiums (if any) payable under paragraphs 16 and 17 of this Bond, then to the payment of unpaid accrued interest, then on account of outstanding principal, and then to the payment of the fee payable under paragraph 9 of this Bond.


15.    Maturity Extensions.


(a) With respect to each Advance (1) for which the Borrower has selected a Maturity Date that will occur before the twentieth anniversary of the Requested Advance Date specified in the respective Advance Request, or (2) for which a Maturity Date that will occur before the twentieth anniversary of the Requested Advance Date specified in the respective Advance Request has been determined as provided in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 15 (each such Maturity Date being an "Interim Maturity Date"), the Borrower may, effective as of such Interim Maturity Date, elect to extend the maturity of all or any portion of the outstanding 










        




                                                                                              BOND - page 9




RUS



principal amount of the respective Advance to a new Maturity Date to be selected by the Borrower in the manner and subject to the limitations specified in this subparagraph (a) (each such election being a "Maturity Extension Election"; each such elective extension of the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date being a "Maturity Extension"; and the Interim Maturity Date that is in effect for an Advance immediately before any such elective Maturity Extension being, from and after such Maturity Extension, the "Maturity Extension Effective Date").  
(1) Except under the circumstances described in clause (3) of this subparagraph (a), the Borrower shall deliver to FFB (with a copy to RUS) written notification of each Maturity Extension Election, in the form of notification attached to this Bond as Annex 1-A (each such notification being a "Maturity Extension Election Notice"), making reference to the "Advance Identifier" (as that term is defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) that FFB assigned to such Advance (as provided in the Bond Purchase Agreement) and specifying, among other things, the following: 


(A) the amount of the outstanding principal of the such Advance with respect to which the Borrower elects to extend the maturity; and


(B) the new Maturity Date that the Borrower selects to be in effect for such principal amount after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, which date: 


(i) may be either (I) a new Interim Maturity Date, or (II) the twentieth anniversary of the Requested Advance Date specified in the original Advance Request (if such twentieth anniversary date is a Payment Date) or the Payment Date immediately preceding such twentieth anniversary date (if such twentieth anniversary date is not a Payment Date); and


(ii) in the event that the Borrower selects a new Interim Maturity Date as the new Maturity Date for any Advance, must meet the criteria for Maturity Dates prescribed in section 7.3.1(a)(5) of the Bond Purchase Agreement (provided, however, that, for purposes of selecting a new Maturity Date in connection with a Maturity Extension Election, each of the references to the "Requested Advance Date" for the respective Advance in section 7.3.1(a)(5)(D) of the Bond Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the "respective Maturity Extension Effective Date").

(2) To be effective, a Maturity Extension Election Notice must be received by FFB on or before the third Business Day before the Interim Maturity Date in effect for the respective Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension. 


(3) In the event that either of the circumstances described in subclause (A) or (B) of the next sentence occurs, then a Maturity Extension Election Notice (in the form of notice attached to this Bond as Annex 1-B), to be effective, must first be delivered to RUS for approval and be approved by RUS in writing, and such Maturity Extension Election Notice, together with written notification of RUS's approval thereof, must be received by FFB on or before the third Business Day before the Interim Maturity Date in effect for the respective Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension.  RUS approval of a Maturity Extension Election Notice will be required under either of the following circumstances:


(A) (i) any payment of any amount owing under this Bond is not made by the Borrower when and as due; (ii) payment is made by RUS in accordance with the guarantee set forth at the end of this Bond; and (iii) RUS delivers notice to both the Borrower and FFB advising each of them that each Maturity Extension Election Notice delivered by the Borrower after the date of such notice shall require the approval of RUS; or


(B) FFB at any time delivers written notice to both the Borrower and RUS advising each of them that each Maturity Extension Election Notice delivered by the Borrower after the date of such notice shall require the approval of RUS.


(b) With respect to any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date, in the event that FFB does not receive a Maturity Extension Election Notice (and, if required under subparagraph (a)(3) of this paragraph 15, written notification of RUS's approval thereof) on or before the third Business Day before such Interim Maturity Date, then the maturity of such Advance shall be extended automatically in the manner and subject to the limitations specified in this subparagraph (b) (each such automatic extension of the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date also being a "Maturity Extension"; and the Interim Maturity Date that is in effect for an Advance immediately before any such automatic Maturity Extension also being, from and after such Maturity Extension, the "Maturity Extension Effective Date").  The new Maturity Date for such Advance shall be the immediately following Payment Date.  The amount of principal that will have its maturity extended automatically shall be the entire outstanding principal amount of such Advance on such Maturity Extension Effective Date, less the

 amount of any payment of principal made on such Maturity Extension Effective Date.    


(c) In the event that the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 15, then the basic interest rate for such Advance, from and after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, shall be the particular rate that is established by FFB, as of such Maturity Extension Effective Date, in accordance with the principles of paragraph 6(c) of this Bond.


(d) In the event that the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 15, then the fee for such Advance, from and after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, shall be the particular fee that is assessed by FFB, as of such Maturity Extension Effective Date, with the new Advance Period being the period from the Maturity Extension Effective Date through the new Maturity Date, in accordance with the principles of paragraphs 9(b) and (c) of this Bond.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to FFB a price for the prepayment of any Advance, any Portion of any Advance, or this Bond in its entirety (such price being the "Prepayment Price" for such Advance or Portion or this Bond, as the case may be) determined as follows:


(1) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of any Advance, then the Borrower shall pay to FFB a Prepayment Price for such Advance equal to the sum of:
