In such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Exhibit, such Class A Shares shall be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within 24 months of purchase equal to 75 basis points (0.75%) of the lesser of (x) the purchase price of the Class A Shares or (y) the redemption price of the Class A Shares. Any contingent deferred sales charge received upon redemption of Class A Shares shall be paid to the principal underwriter in consideration of the advance commission. (F) AGGREGATION OF PURCHASES In applying the exceptions set forth in this Section 3, the purchase amount shall take into account: |X| Concurrent purchases of Class A Shares of other Funds; |X| Accumulated purchases of Class A Shares will be considered in calculating the applicable sales charge on the additional Shares; and |X| Letters of intent to purchase Class A Shares within a thirteen month period. (G) waiver of sales load No sales load shall be assessed or contingent deferred sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A Shares: o within 120 days of redeeming shares of an equal or greater amount; o through a bank trust department, a registered investment adviser, retirement plans where the third party administrator has entered into certain arrangements with the principal underwriter, or its affiliates, or any other investment professional, to the extent that no payments were advanced for purchases made through these entities or individuals; o with reinvested dividends or capital gains; o by Federated Life Members (Federated shareholders who originally were issued shares through the "Liberty Account", which was an account for the Liberty Family of Funds on February 28, 1987, or who invested through an affinity group prior to August 1, 1987, into the Liberty Account); and o by Directors, Trustees, employees, and sales representatives of the Fund, the Adviser, the principal underwriter and their affiliates, employees of any investment professional that sells Shares according to a sales agreement with the principal underwriter, and the immediate family members of the above persons. (H) SPECIAL OFFER PROGRAM 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 are subject to a CDSC of 2.00% on redemptions which occur within 30 months after the purchase, which amount is 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 may 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 are exchanged for Class A Shares of other Funds during the 30 month CDSC period will incur the CDSC fee upon redemption. However, no sales load will be charged for the exchange. =========================================================================== Schedule of Funds Offering Class A Shares =========================================================================== The Funds set forth on this Schedule each offer Class A Shares on the terms set forth in the Class A Shares Exhibit to the Multiple Class Plan, in each case as indicated below.
