Fannie Mae

Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE") that was chartered by the U.S. Congress
("Congress") in 1938 under the name "Federal National Mortgage Association" to support liquidity, stability
and affordability in the secondary mortgage market, where existing mortgage loans are purchased and sold.
Fannie Mae has been under conservatorship since September 2008. As conservator, FHFA succeeded to all
rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae and of any shareholder, officer or director of the company
with respect to the company and its assets. The conservatorship has no specified termination date.

Our regulators include FHFA, the SEC, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"),
and Treasury. Although we are a corporation chartered by Congress, and although our conservator is a U.S.
government agency, and Treasury owns our Variable Liquidation Preference Senior Preferred Stock, Series
2008-2 (the "Senior Preferred Stock") and a warrant to purchase 79.9% of our common stock (the "Warrant"),
and Treasury has made a commitment under a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with us (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement") to provide us with funds under specified conditions to maintain a positive net worth, the
Debt Securities, together with the interest thereon, are not guaranteed by the United States and do not constitute
a debt or obligation of the United States or of any agency or instrumentality thereof other than Fannie Mae.

Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and
the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol "FNMA."

the "reopening" of an existing issue.
Other Debt Securities.............
We plan to issue other Debt Securities from time to time
denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies with maturities of

Debt Securities may be denominated in, and principal and interest

or have minimum or maximum maturities.
Denomination..................
We will issue U.S. dollar denominated Debt Securities in
minimum denominations of U.S. $1,000 and additional increments

which may be par or a specified discount to or premium over par.
The principal amount payable at maturity also may be a variable
amount determined by reference to one or more indices, such as
interest or exchange rate indices, or other formulas. The principal
may be amortized through periodic payments during the term of
the Debt Securities.
Interest.............................

combination of fixed and variable rates), or may bear interest that
is indexed by reference to an interest or currency exchange rate or
in some other manner, or may not bear interest.
Offering Price.....................
Debt Securities will be offered at fixed prices equal to par, or a
discount to or premium over par, or at varying prices relating to
prevailing market prices at the time of resale as determined by the
applicable Dealer.
No Acceleration Rights...........
The Debt Securities will not contain any provisions permitting the
Holders to accelerate the maturity of the Debt Securities if a
default or other event occurs.
Form.................................
We will issue Debt Securities in book-entry form either through
the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks ("Fed Book-Entry Securities") or
through another depository. Except in the limited circumstances
described in this Offering Circular, we will not issue Debt
Securities in definitive form.
Eligibility for Stripping..........
The applicable Pricing Supplement will indicate whether Fed
Book-Entry Securities will be eligible to be separated ("stripped")
into their separate interest and principal components on the book
entry records of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
8

Status............................
The Debt Securities will be unsecured general obligations of
Fannie Mae issued under Section 304(b) of the Federal National
Mortgage Association Charter Act, 12 U.S.C. §1716 et. seq. (the
"Charter Act"). The Debt Securities, together with interest thereon,
are not guaranteed by the United States and do not constitute a
debt or obligation of the United States or of any agency or
instrumentality thereof other than Fannie Mae.
Redemption.....................
The Pricing Supplement for a particular issue of Debt Securities
will specify whether the Debt Securities are subject to mandatory

if redeemable, will describe terms applicable to the redemption.
Benchmark Bills and Short-Term Notes will not be redeemable
prior to maturity.
Governing Law..................
Fed Book-Entry Securities (including rights and obligations) will
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, regulations
adopted by FHFA, as they may be amended or supplemented from
time to time (the "FHFA Book-Entry Regulations") or any other
U.S. governmental body or agency that are applicable to the Fed
Book-Entry Securities, and, to the extent that these regulations do
not apply, the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. Global
Book-Entry Securities will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A.
Tax Status.........................
The Debt Securities and payments thereon generally are subject to
taxation by the United States and generally are not exempt from

Persons generally will be subject to U.S. income and withholding
tax unless they provide required certifications or statements.
Listing...............................
The applicable Pricing Supplement relating to each issue of Debt
Securities will indicate the exchange, if any, on which we will list
or apply to list the Debt Securities. We have made an application
for certain Debt Securities issued under this Universal Debt
Facility to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market.
The current minimum maturity for Debt Securities traded on the
Euro MTF market is seven days. We also may issue unlisted Debt
Securities and Debt Securities listed on other exchanges.

Clearance and Settlement
Clearance and Settlement.........
Depending on the terms of an issue of Debt Securities and where
those Debt Securities are to be offered, Debt Securities may clear
and settle through one or more of the following:
the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks;
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC");
Euroclear;
Clearstream; or
other designated clearing systems.

9

We expect most issues of Debt Securities denominated and
payable in U.S. dollars, including all Benchmark Securities, to
clear and settle through the Fed Book-Entry System. These Debt
Securities generally may be held indirectly through other clearing
systems, such as the systems operated by Euroclear and
Clearstream.

We expect issues of Debt Securities denominated or payable in a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars (and Debt Securities
denominated and payable in U.S. dollars not cleared and settled
through the Fed Book-Entry System) to clear and settle through
the systems operated by DTC, and indirectly through Euroclear
and Clearstream. We expect issues of Debt Securities distributed
solely outside of the United States to clear and settle through the
systems operated by Euroclear, Clearstream or other designated
clearing systems and, in some cases, DTC, irrespective of the
Specified Currency in which the Debt Securities are denominated
or payable.

Fiscal and Global Agents
Fiscal Agents...........................
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will act as fiscal agent for
Benchmark Bills and for Short-Term Notes that are Fed Book-
Entry Securities. The U.S. Federal Reserve Banks will act as
fiscal agent for other Fed Book-Entry Securities.
Global Agent...........................
The Bank of New York Mellon will act as global agent for Global
Book-Entry Securities.

Distribution of Debt Securities
Method of Distribution/Dealers....
We generally will sell Debt Securities to Dealers acting as
principal, whether individually or in a syndicate, for resale to
investors either at a fixed price or at varying prices determined by
the Dealers. Alternatively, Debt Securities may be sold through
Dealers on a non-underwritten basis or may be sold by us directly
to institutional investors.

Restrictions exist in certain jurisdictions on the Dealers' offer, sale
and delivery of Debt Securities and the distribution of offering
materials relating to the Debt Securities.
