2. Separate Arrangements/Class Differences

3. Expense Allocations

Each Class shall be allocated those shareholder service fees and fees and expenses payable under a Rule 12b-1 Plan specified in the Class Exhibit. In addition the following expenses may be specifically allocated to each Class to the extent that the Fund's officers determine that such expenses are actually incurred in a different amount by that Class, or that the Class receives services of a different kind or to a different degree than other Classes:

(a) transfer agent fees;

(b) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses, and proxies to current shareholders;

[NOTE: The 30 month CDSC period connected with of this program expired in September of 2002]

During the Special Offer Program which took place in March, 2000, the sales load was waived on purchases of Class A Shares of Federated Aggressive Growth Fund, Federated Communications Technology Fund, Federated Large Cap Growth Fund, and Federated International Small Company Fund (the "Special Offer Funds"). Instead, the principal underwriter paid an advance commission of 2.00% of the offering price of the Special Offer Funds to intermediaries participating in the Special Offer Program. Class A Shares purchased through this Special Offer were subject to a CDSC of 2.00% on redemptions which occurred within 30 months after the purchase, which amount was to be paid to the principal underwriter in consideration for advancing the commission to intermediaries. Class A Shares of the Special Offer Funds purchased during the Special Offer Program could be exchanged with Class A Shares of other Special Offer Funds with no imposition of a sales load or CDSC fee. Class A Shares of the Special Offer Funds purchased during the Special Offer Program which were exchanged for Class A Shares of other Funds during the 30 month CDSC period incurred the CDSC fee upon redemption. However, no sales load was charged for such an exchange.

5. REDEMPTION FEE

For purposes of Rule 11a-3 under the Act, any redemption fee received upon the redemption or exchange of Class A Shares will be applied to fees incurred or amount expended in connection with such redemption or exchange. The balance of any redemption fees shall be paid to the Fund.

A Fund shall waive any redemption fee with respect to (i) non-participant directed redemptions or exchanges involving Class A Shares held in retirement plans established under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), custodial plan accounts established under Section 493(b)(7) of the Code, or deferred compensation plans established under Section 457 of the Code; (ii) redemptions or exchanges involving Class A Shares held in plans administered as college savings programs under Section 529 of the Code; and (iii) Class A Shares redeemed due to the death of the last surviving shareholder on the account.
