The Cooperative assigned to the Trust certain rights under an interest rate swap agreement (the "Swap Agreement"). The counterparty to the Swap Agreement is JP Morgan Chase Bank (successor to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("JP Morgan ")). Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, the Trust pays to JP Morgan a fixed rate of interest on the outstanding notional amount, and JP Morgan pays the Trust a variable rate of interest on the outstanding notional amount. The structure is designed such that the interest amounts paid by the Cooperative to the Trust are the same amounts paid to JP Morgan, pursuant to the Swap Agreement, plus the amounts payable to CFC, as servicer. The amounts paid by JP Morgan to the Trust under the Swap Agreement are the same as the interest payable by the Trust to the Certificateholders.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
No delinquency in payment under either the Note, the Guarantee or the Swap Agreement has occurred and no Event of Servicing Termination, or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Servicing Termination, has occurred and is continuing.
|
|||
|

|||
|
I, the undersigned, do hereby certify that I am a Responsible Officer of National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, and as such officer, I further certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, the Semiannual Report is complete and accurate.
