its Medium-Term Notes, Series C (such Medium-Term Notes, Series C, together with such additional Medium-Term Notes of the Company as are added to this Agreement pursuant to an Amendment, the "Securities"). The Securities are to be issued from time to time pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 15, 1987 (as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 1, 1990, and as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as successor trustee (the "Trustee").
Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and subject to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Securities directly on its own behalf at any time, and to any person, and to designate or select additional agents, the Company hereby appoints the Agents as the exclusive agents of the Company for the purpose of soliciting or receiving offers to purchase the Securities from the Company by others. This Agreement shall only apply to sales of the Securities on original issuance and not to sales of any other securities or evidences of indebtedness of the Company and only on the specific terms set forth herein.
SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to each Agent as of the date hereof, as of each Closing Date (as defined in Section 2(f) hereof), as of each settlement date in respect of any principal purchase (whether pursuant to a Purchase Agreement or otherwise) and as of the times referred to in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof (each Closing Date, each settlement date and each such time being hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Representation Date"), as follows:
(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") Registration Statement on Form S-3 No. 333-109310 (and any registration statements referred to in any Amendment (as defined in Section 12 hereof)) for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") of the Securities (including a prospectus relating to the registration statements) and has filed and may file one or more amendments thereto (including one or more amended or supplemental prospectuses) and such registration statements and any such amendments have become effective. Each such registration statement, including financial statements and exhibits, at the time it became effective under the Act, as amended and supplemented (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), is hereinafter referred to as a "Registration Statement". A prospectus supplement dated October 23, 2003, relating to the Securities and to Registration Statement No. 333-109310, including a prospectus, has been prepared and will be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the "Rules and Regulations") under the Act (such prospectus and prospectus supplement (or, in the case of any Amendment, the prospectus and prospectus supplement referred to therein) are herein referred to as the "Prospectus"). Any reference in this Agreement to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented shall include, without limitation, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 of the Rules and Regulations which amends or supplements the Prospectus. Any reference herein to a Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") on or before the effective date of such
{PAGE}

Registration Statement or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms "amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to a Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the effective date of such Registration Statement, or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
(b) Accuracy of Registration Statements. Each Registration Statement (and such Registration Statement as amended if any post-effective amendment thereof shall have become effective) complies in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations and does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Prospectus (and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) fully complies with the provisions of the Act and the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that none of the representations and warranties in this paragraph (b) shall apply to (i) that part of any Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), of the Trustee or (ii) statements in, or omissions from, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of an Agent for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement.
(c) Accountants. The accountants who have certified or shall certify the financial statements filed and to be filed with the Commission as parts of any Registration Statement and the Prospectus are independent with respect to the Company as required by the Act and the Rules and Regulations.
(d) Due Incorporation. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing cooperative association in good standing under the laws of the District of Columbia, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of properties or the conduct of its business requires it to be qualified (or the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect upon the business or condition of the Company), and the Company has the corporate power and holds all valid permits and other required authorizations from governmental authorities necessary to carry on its business as now conducted and as to be conducted on the Closing Date and any Representation Date, and as contemplated by the Prospectus.
(e) Material Changes. Since the respective dates as of which information is given in each Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and except as set forth in the Prospectus, there has not been any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
