This Contract is made this 1st day of March, 1995, between Federated

term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
is registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
WHEREAS Adviser is engaged in the business of rendering investment
advisory and management services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:
1. The Trust hereby appoints Adviser as Investment Adviser for each
of the portfolios ("Funds") of the Trust which executes an exhibit to this
Contract, and Adviser accepts the appointments. Subject to the direction of
the Trustees of the Trust, Adviser shall provide investment research and
supervision of the investments of the Funds and conduct a continuous program
of investment evaluation and of appropriate sale or other disposition and
reinvestment of each Fund's assets.
2. Adviser, in its supervision of the investments of each of the
Funds will be guided by each of the Fund's investment objective and policies
and the provisions and restrictions contained in the Declaration of Trust and
By-Laws of the Trust and as set forth in the Registration Statements and
exhibits as may be on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
3. Each Fund shall pay or cause to be paid all of its own expenses
and its allocable share of Trust expenses, including, without limitation, the
expenses of organizing the Trust and continuing its existence; fees and
expenses of Trustees and officers of the Trust; fees for investment advisory
services and administrative personnel and services; expenses incurred in the
distribution of its shares ("Shares"), including expenses of administrative
support services; fees and expenses of preparing and printing its

Company Act of 1940, as amended, and any amendments thereto; expenses of
registering and qualifying the Trust, the Funds, and Shares of the Funds
under federal and state laws and regulations; expenses of preparing,
printing, and distributing prospectuses (and any amendments thereto) to
shareholders; interest expense, taxes, fees, and commissions of every kind;
expenses of issue (including cost of Share certificates), purchase,
repurchase, and redemption of Shares, including expenses attributable to a

its allocable share of such extraordinary expenses as may arise including
expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings, and claims and
the legal obligations of the Trust to indemnify its officers and Trustees and
agents with respect thereto.
4. Each of the Funds shall pay to Adviser, for all services rendered
to each Fund by Adviser hereunder, the fees set forth in the exhibits
attached hereto.
5. The net asset value of each Fund's Shares as used herein will be
calculated to the nearest 1/10th of one cent.
6. The Adviser may from time to time and for such periods as it
deems appropriate reduce its compensation (and, if appropriate, assume
expenses of one or more of the Funds) to the extent that any Fund's expenses
exceed such lower expense limitation as the Adviser may, by notice to the
Fund, voluntarily declare to be effective.
7. This Contract shall begin for each Fund as of the date of
execution of the applicable exhibit and shall continue in effect with respect
to each Fund presently set forth on an exhibit (and any subsequent Funds
added pursuant to an exhibit during the initial term of this Contract) for
two years from the date of this Contract set forth above and thereafter for
successive periods of one year, subject to the provisions for termination and
all of the other terms and conditions hereof if: (a) such continuation shall
be specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not
parties to this Contract or interested persons of any such party cast in
person at a meeting called for that purpose; and (b) Adviser shall not have
notified a Fund in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary
date of this Contract in any year thereafter that it does not desire such
continuation with respect to that Fund. If a Fund is added after the first
approval by the Trustees as described above, this Contract will be effective
as to that Fund upon execution of the applicable exhibit and will continue in
effect until the next annual approval of this Contract by the Trustees and
thereafter for successive periods of one year, subject to approval as
described above.
8. Notwithstanding any provision in this Contract, it may be
terminated at any time with respect to any Fund, without the payment of any
penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of the shareholders of
that Fund on sixty (60) days' written notice to Adviser.
9. This Contract may not be assigned by Adviser and shall
automatically terminate in the event of any assignment. Adviser may employ or
contract with such other person, persons, corporation, or corporations at its
own cost and expense as it shall determine in order to assist it in carrying
out this Contract.
10. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of the obligations or duties under this
Contract on the part of Adviser, Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust or
to any of the Funds or to any shareholder for any act or omission in the
course of or connected in any way with rendering services or for any losses
that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security.
11. This Contract may be amended at any time by agreement of the
parties provided that the amendment shall be approved both by the vote of a
majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees
who are not parties to this Contract or interested persons of any such party
to this Contract (other than as Trustees of the Trust) cast in person at a
meeting called for that purpose, and, where required by Section 15(a)(2) of
the Act, on behalf of a Fund by a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of such Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the Act.
12. Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
liability as set forth in Article XI of the Declaration of Trust and agrees
that the obligations pursuant to this Contract of a particular Fund and of
the Trust with respect to that particular Fund be limited solely to the
assets of that particular Fund, and Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from any other Fund, the shareholders of any Fund, the
Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust, or any of them.
13. The Trust and the Funds are hereby expressly put on notice of the
limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust of the
Adviser and agree that the obligations assumed by the Adviser pursuant to
this Contract shall be limited in any case to the Adviser and its assets and,
except to the extent expressly permitted by the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, the Trust and the Funds shall not seek satisfaction of any
such obligation from the shareholders of the Adviser, the Trustees, officers,
employees, or agents of the Adviser, or any of them.
14. This Contract shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
15. This Contract will become binding on the parties hereto upon
their execution of the attached exhibits to this Contract.
