To Reduce or Eliminate the Front End Sales Charge When You Purchase Shares

When you make the purchase, you or your investment professional need to notify the Funds or the Fund’s transfer agent of your total holdings in the funds for the discount to apply. The front-end sales charge may be reduced by combining purchases in Class A, B, C, F, or R Shares.

□ Letter of Intent for Class A and F Shares — To reduce the sales charge on this purchase, you need to submit a Letter of Intent with the NEW ACCOUNT APPLICATION unless you are already investing under a Letter of Intent. Contact your investment professional, theFunds, or the Fund’s transfer agent to request the form.

□ Concurrent Purchases and Accumulated Purchases — I own shares of more than one Federated Fund (Class A, B, C, F, or R Shares).My account information is:

9. Your Signature

By signing below, you:

■ Acknowledge that you have received, read, accepted and specifically incorporated the Individual Retirement Custodial or Trustee AccountAgreement and the Disclosure Statement by reference to this New Account Application.

■ Acknowledge that you have received, read, and accepted Federated’s Privacy Policy and Notice.

■ Verify that you have read the prospectus for each fund in which you are investing.

■ Certify that you have authority and legal capacity to purchase mutual fund shares and are of legal age in your state.

■ Appoint UMB Bank n.a., P.O. Box 8600, Boston, MA 02266-8600, as Custodian of your IRA.

■ Understand that the account is effective the day the Custodian accepts this application by issuing a confirmation statement.

■ Authorize the Funds or their transfer agent to act on telephone instructions believed to be authentic for any service authorized on thisform. Provided the Funds or their transfer agent employ reasonable procedures to confirm telephone instructions are genuine, you agreethat the Funds, their transfer agent, their respective officers, directors, affiliates and agents will not be liable for any losses, claims,expenses and liabilities that result from accepting such telephone instructions.

■ Understand that all Systematic Investment and Withdrawal Programs, Systematic Withdrawal by Check and Systematic Exchange continueindefinitely until you request cancellation or are deemed a “lost shareholder.”

■ DON'T BECOME A “LOST SHAREHOLDER”: It is very important that you notify the Fund of any change to your address information,including your email address. If the Fund’s communications to you are returned as undeliverable, the Fund will try to reestablish contactwith you. If those efforts fail and the Fund reasonably determines that you are a “lost shareholder,” the Fund may elect to suspendaccount activity, program elections (including systematic investment, withdrawal or exchange) and mailings. In addition, most Statesrequire entities like the Fund to turn over the assets of lost shareholders following a period of time. Your property may also be transferredto the appropriate state if no activity occurs in the account within the time period specified by state law. Once shares are “escheated” to aState, a shareholder will not be able to access the shares through the Fund. To avoid these kinds of problems, we urge you to keep yourcontact information with the Fund accurate at all times.
