Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the stated face amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases or decreases, as applicable, thereof, whether or not such maximum face amount is in effect at such time. All Existing Letters of Credit issued and outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement and from and after the Amendment Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being a request or directive which is generally complied with by comparable financial institutions) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the FirstSecond Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the FirstSecond Amendment Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith reasonably deems material to it; provided, however, that in the event a Bank Party participating in the Letters of Credit is not affected by any such restriction, requirement or imposition, and is able to issue such Letter of Credit and expressly agrees in its sole discretion to issue such Letter of Credit, such Bank Party, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall issue such Letter of Credit and shall be deemed the Issuing Bank with regard to such Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement;

(B) the making of such L/C Credit Extension would violate any Applicable Laws;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than $25,000;

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Committed Loans to, or continue any Committed Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Term Benchmark Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Term Benchmark Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Committed Loan is converted to a different Type of Loan, the Borrower shall pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being converted.

Section 2.09. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. Subject to Section 2.19(a)(i), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank facility fees accruing at the Facility Fee Rate under the 2025 Facility or the 20262027 Facility on the daily average amount of such Bank’s Commitment (whether used or unused), for the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the date such Bank’s Commitment is terminated; provided that, if such Bank continues to have any Committed Loans outstanding

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.16(g) shall not be construed to require indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (which date shall be not later than the earlier of (1) the date which is twelve (12) months after the proposed issuance date and (2) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Domestic Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, make an L/C Credit Extension for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or any member of its Consolidated Entities, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the making of each L/C Credit Extension, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such L/C Credit Extension in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such L/C Credit Extension (calculated after the Maturity Date with respect to the 2025 Commitments, only by reference to the 2026 Facility).

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, (i) upon the expiration of the initial term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall terminate or (ii) upon the expiration of the initial and each successive term of each Letter of Credit,

Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. References herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to any successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to any successor or additional Issuing Banks, as applicable, and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(m) Reallocation of Risk Participations. On the 2025 Commitment Termination Date, all risk participations with respect to Letters of Credit issued on or prior to the 2025 Commitment Termination Date, and all obligations to make Loans or reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under such Letters of Credit, shall be reallocated to the 2026 Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the 2026 Facility; provided that (i) no such reallocation shall occur if any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and each 2025 Bank shall continue to be entitled to its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Fees) and (ii) such reallocation shall only be effected to the extent that it would not result in the 2026 Credit Exposure of any 2026 Bank exceeding such Bank’s 2026 Commitments (and any portion of the risk participation or other obligation not reallocated as a result of this clause (ii) shall terminate on the 2025 Commitment Termination Date).

Section 2.21. 2025 Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and pursuant to an offer (a “2025 Conversion Offer”) made by the Borrower after the Amendment Effective Date to any 2025 Bank, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual 2025 Banks that accept such 2025 Conversion Offer to convert all (but not less than all) of such accepting 2025 Bank’s 2025 Commitment and 2025 Credit Exposure to an equal principal amount of a 2026 Commitment and 2026 Credit Exposure (a “2025 Conversion”). Upon the effectiveness of any such 2025 Conversion, (i) such accepting 2025 Bank shall become a 2026 Bank, (ii) such accepting 2025 Bank’s 2025 Commitments shall become 2026 Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2025 Bank’s 2025 Commitments and (iii) such accepting 2025 Bank’s 2025 Credit Exposure shall become a 2026 Credit Exposure in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2025 Bank’s 2025 Credit Exposure. In connection with any 2025 Conversion, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of

the credit facilities hereunder after such conversion), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section.

The election of any Bank to agree to any such extension shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Bank’s determination (or deemed determination) under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date, or, if such date is not a Domestic Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (the “Specified Date”).

addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date); provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments for all Additional Commitment Banks shall be no more than the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Non-Extending Banks; provided, further, that the existing 20262027 Banks shall have the right to increase their Commitments up to the amount of the Non-Extending Banks’ Commitments before the Borrower shall have the right to substitute any other Person for any Non-Extending Bank.

(e) If (and only if) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks that have agreed to extend their Existing Commitment Termination Dates plus the aggregate additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Banks shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Specified Date, then, effective as of the Extension Date, the Existing Commitment Termination Date of each 20262027 Bank agreeing to an extension and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, and each Additional Commitment Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of any 20262027 Bank’s Existing Commitment Termination Date (and the accession of each Additional Commitment Bank) pursuant to this Section shall be effective on the Extension Date only if (i) the following statements shall be true: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (B) all the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties, before and after giving effect to such extension), and (ii) on or prior to the Extension Date the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Extension Date and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (1) a certificate signed by any one of the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, an Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, the Controller or the Vice President, Capital Markets Relations of the Borrower to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (c) through (g), inclusive, of Section 3.03 have been satisfied as of the Extension Date and, in the case of clauses (c), (d) and (g), setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to establish such compliance, (2) a certificate of an officer of the Borrower acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that all consents, authorizations, notices and filings required or advisable in connection with the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date are in full force and effect, and the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to it, (3) an opinion of the General Counsel of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereof, provided that an enforceability opinion under New York law, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be furnished by the Borrower’s New York counsel, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations and (4) such other documents

reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(g) Subject to subsection (e) above, the Commitment of any Non-Extending Bank that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection (d) above shall (i) automatically terminate on its Existing Commitment Termination Date or (ii) at the option of the Borrower, with respect to the Commitments of all Non-Extending Banks that have advised the Borrower of their unwillingness to agree to an extension in response to a notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.222.21(a), terminate on any anniversary of November 28, 2022 (each, an “Anniversary Date”) occurring prior thereto (in each case without regard to any extension by any other Bank); it being understood and agreed that such Non-Extending Bank’s participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such Existing Commitment Termination Date or such Anniversary Date, as the case may be, shall terminate thereon and any and all fees and expenses owed to each Non-Extending Bank as of that date shall be paid by the Borrower to such Non-Extending Bank.

Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Swingline Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or may be given by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of such a written Swingline Borrowing Request consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Domestic Business Day). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by credit to the Borrower’s account with such Swingline Lender or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C

The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Domestic Business Day, require the 20262027 Banks to fund participations on the Domestic Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which 20262027 Banks will fund such participations. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each 20262027 Bank, specifying in such notice such 20262027 Bank’s Pro Rata Share of each such Swingline Loan. Each 20262027 Bank hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such 20262027 Bank’s Pro Rata Share of each such Swingline Loan.

(ii). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan funded pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the 20262027 Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this

paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) The Swingline ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the 20262027 ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Borrower. After the resignation of a Swingline ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE BORROWER

November 20December 5, 20232024

To the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks party
to the Revolving Credit Agreement referred to below
c/o Mizuho Bank, Ltd.
Harborside Financial Center
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 20, 2022 (as amended by Amendment No. 1the Amendments (defined below), the “Extended Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Banks listed on the signature pages thereof, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent and Initial Issuing Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Truist Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and (ii) that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of November 20, 2023 (“Amendment No. 1”), by and among the Borrower, the Banks listed on the signature pages thereof, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent and Initial Issuing Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Truist Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents and (iii) that certain Amendment No. 2 dated as of December 5, 2024 (“Amendment No. 2” and together with Amendment No.1, the “Amendments”), by and among the Borrower, the Banks listed on the signature pages thereof, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent and Initial Issuing Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Truist Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents. I, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 7(b) of the Amendment No. 12. Terms defined in the Extended 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.

C-1

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 and deliver the Amendment No. 12 and each of the Notes dated the date hereof (the “Subject Notes”) and carry out the terms and provisions of the Amendment No.12, the Extended Agreement and the Subject Notes. The Amendment No. 12 and the Subject Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.1

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 Extended 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.12 or the Subject Notes or performance by the Borrower of the Amendment No. 12, 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.

1 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, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations.

C-2

6. Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated Entity is in default in any material respect under any material agreement or other instrument 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 Amendment No. 12 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 Extended 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.

9. The Borrower has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is exempt from payment of Federal income tax under
