National Rural’s written request. Disbursements under the Note shall be in an initial minimum amount of $25 million and additional increments of $5 million in excess thereof.
4.(a) The following additional defined terms shall apply to each Note issued pursuant to this Agreement:
Applicable Margin: [REDACTED PORTION FILED SEPARATELY WITH SEC PURSUANT TO CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST], provided that Farmer Mac may adjust the Applicable Margin in its sole discretion on any Facility Renewal Date with at least 30 days’ notice to Issuer prior to the respective Facility Renewal Date.
Early Termination Date: The date that either the Issuer or the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, provided that (i) if such termination is at the Issuer’s election, the Issuer shall have provided at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Purchaser and Farmer Mac and (ii) if such termination is at Purchaser’s election, such Early Termination Date may only be on a Facility Renewal Date and Purchaser shall have provided at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Issuer.
Facility Renewal Date: January 31, 2019 and thereafter on the 20 th of each June and December to but excluding December 20, 2023.
Funding Date: The date of each funding under the Note pursuant to a Draw Notice.
LIBOR: The London Interbank Offered Rate for one-month U.S. Dollar deposits, as calculated by Farmer Mac in the following order of priority:
•the rate that appears at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date equal to the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for
U.S. Dollars for a period equal in length to such Interest Period) as displayed on page LIBOR01 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time) for one-month U.S. Dollar deposits;
•if a rate does not so appear, Farmer Mac will select four leading banks in the London interbank market and request those banks to provide their offered quotations to prime banks in the London interbank market for one-month U.S. Dollar deposits at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date. If at least two of the selected banks provide the requested quotations, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained, as determined by Farmer Mac;
•if fewer than two of the selected banks provide the requested quotations, Farmer Mac will select three major banks in New York City and request those banks to provide their offered quotations to leading European banks for one-month U.S. Dollar loans, beginning on the applicable Interest Rate Reset Date, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on

the LIBOR Determination Date. LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained, as determined by Farmer Mac; and
•if fewer than three of the selected banks provide the requested quotations, it shall be deemed that LIBOR is no longer recognized as an industry standard benchmark interest rate.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Farmer Mac determines (or it is deemed pursuant to the immediately preceding bullet) that LIBOR has been discontinued, is no longer being published or is no longer recognized as an industry standard benchmark interest rate, in each case whether due to lack of contributing banks or for any other reason, then Farmer Mac, in its sole discretion, may, in lieu of any provision above, designate a substitute or successor index rate, taking into account general comparability to LIBOR, acceptance as a market-based benchmark interest rate and any other adjustments or factors as Farmer Mac deems appropriate. If Farmer Mac determines a substitute or successor index rate in accordance with the foregoing, Farmer Mac, in its sole discretion, may, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, also determine the Business Day convention, the definition of Business Day (or London Banking Day), the Interest Reset Date and the index rate determination date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating the substitute or successor index rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor index rate comparable to LIBOR, in a manner that is consistent with industry accepted practices for such substitute or successor index rate.
LIBOR Determination Date: The second London Banking Day before the first day of the applicable Interest Period.
London Banking Day: Any day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in foreign exchange and deposits in U.S. Dollar deposits, in London, England.
(b) The following defined terms set forth in the Master Agreement as applied to the Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be amended in their entirety as set forth below:
Closing Date: The date hereof.
Facility Fee: [REDACTED PORTION FILED SEPARATELY WITH SEC PURSUANT TO CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST] of the Maximum Purchase Amount, payable on the date hereof and on each Facility Renewal Date during the Draw Period, provided that Farmer Mac may adjust the Facility Fee in its sole discretion on any Facility Renewal Date with at least 30 days’ notice prior to the respective Facility Renewal Date. The Facility Fee is nonrefundable in whole or part.
