Medium-Term
Notes, Series D may be issued by the Company in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount.
Validity of the Medium-Term Note
In the
opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP, as counsel to the
Company, following (i) receipt by the Company of the
consideration for the notes specified in applicable resolutions of
the board of directors of the Company and (ii) the due
execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the notes
pursuant to the terms of the indenture and the applicable
underwriting, agency or distribution agreement against payment
therefor, the notes offered by this pricing supplement will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject to
the effect of (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the effect of
statutory and other law regarding fraudulent conveyances and
fraudulent, preferential or voidable transfers), and (b) the
exercise of judicial discretion and the application of principles
of equity, good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness,
conscionability and materiality (regardless of whether the
applicable agreements are considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law), including, without limitation, principles limiting the
availability of specific performance and injunctive
relief.
This
opinion
is based as to matters of law solely on applicable provisions of
the following, as currently in effect: (i) the District of Columbia
General Cooperative Association Act of 2010 and (ii) the laws of
the State of New York (but not including any laws, statutes,
ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any
political subdivision below the state level). In addition, this
opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the
trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the
indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to
the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated
October 27, 2023, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Current
Report on Form 8-K by the Company on October 27, 2023.
