EX-99.77E LEGAL

SUB-ITEM 77E:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since October 2003, Federated and related entities (collectively,
"Federated"), and various Federated funds ("Funds"), have been
named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending
in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The
lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased,
owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds
during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are
generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and
improper trading practices including market timing and late trading
in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused
financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. These lawsuits
began to be filed shortly after Federated's first public announcement
that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading
activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York
State Attorney General ("NYAG"), and other authorities. In that
regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had
reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect
to those matters. Specifically, the SEC and NYAG settled
proceedings against three Federated subsidiaries involving
undisclosed market timing arrangements and late trading. The SEC
made findings: that Federated Investment Management Company
("FIMC"), an SEC-registered investment adviser to various Funds,
and Federated Securities Corp., an SEC-registered broker-dealer and
distributor for the Funds, violated provisions of the Investment
Advisers Act and Investment Company Act by approving, but not
disclosing, three market timing arrangements, or the associated
conflict of interest between FIMC and the funds involved in the
arrangements, either to other fund shareholders or to the funds'
board; and that Federated Shareholder Services Company, formerly
an SEC-registered transfer agent, failed to prevent a customer and
a Federated employee from late trading in violation of provisions of
the Investment Company Act. The NYAG found that such conduct
violated provisions of New York State law. Federated entered into
the settlements without admitting or denying the regulators' findings.
As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid
approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an
independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated
agreed to pay disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the
aggregate amount of an additional $72 million and, among other
things, agreed that it would not serve as investment adviser to any
registered investment company unless (i) at least 75% of the fund's
directors are independent of Federated, (ii) the chairman of each
such fund is independent of Federated, (iii) no action may be
taken by the fund's board or any committee thereof unless
approved by a majority of the independent trustees of the fund or
committee, respectively, and (iv) the fund appoints a "senior officer"
who reports to the independent trustees and is responsible for
monitoring compliance by the fund with applicable laws and
fiduciary duties and for managing the process by which
management fees charged to a fund are approved. The settlements
are described in Federated's announcement which, along with
previous press releases and related communications on those
matters, is available in the "About Us" section of Federated's
website at FederatedInvestors.com.
Federated entities have also been named as defendants in several
additional lawsuits that are now pending in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging,
among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees.
The Board of the Funds retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro
LLP to represent the Funds in each of the lawsuits described in
the preceding two paragraphs. Federated and the Funds, and their
respective counsel, have been defending this litigation, and none of
the Funds remains a defendant in any of the lawsuits (though
some could potentially receive any recoveries as nominal
defendants). Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may
be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of
which seek unquantified damages, attorneys' fees, and expenses,
and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not
believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on
the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, ongoing
adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the
regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund
redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse
consequences for the Funds.

ITEM 77Q(e) - COPIES OF ANY NEW OR
AMENDED REGISTRANT INVESTMENT
ADVISORY CONTRACTS


LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY


	KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE
PRESENTS, dated as of April 1, 1999, that Money
Market Obligations Trust, a business trust duly
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the "Trust"), does hereby nominate,
constitute and appoint Federated Investment
Management Company, a business trust duly
organized under the laws of the state of Delaware
(the "Adviser"), to act hereunder as the true and
lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Trust, acting
on behalf of each of the series portfolios for which
the Adviser acts as investment adviser shown on
Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein (each such series portfolio being
hereinafter referred to as a "Fund" and collectively as
the "Funds"), for the specific purpose of executing
and delivering all such agreements, instruments,
contracts, assignments, bond powers, stock powers,
transfer instructions, receipts, waivers, consents and
other documents, and performing all such acts, as the
Adviser may deem necessary or reasonably desirable,
related to the acquisition, disposition and/or
reinvestment of the funds and assets of a Fund of the
Trust in accordance with Adviser's supervision of the
investment, sale and reinvestment of the funds and
assets of each Fund pursuant to the authority granted
to the Adviser as investment adviser of each Fund
under that certain investment advisory contract dated
December 11, 1989 by and between the Adviser and
the Trust (such investment advisory contract, as may
be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time is hereinafter referred to as the
"Investment Advisory Contract").

	The Adviser shall exercise or omit to
exercise the powers and authorities granted herein in
each case as the Adviser in its sole and absolute
discretion deems desirable or appropriate under
existing circumstances.  The Trust hereby ratifies and
confirms as good and effectual, at law or in equity,
all that the Adviser, and its officers and employees,
may do by virtue hereof.  However, despite the above
provisions, nothing herein shall be construed as
imposing a duty on the Adviser to act or assume
responsibility for any matters referred to above or
other matters even though the Adviser may have
power or authority hereunder to do so.  Nothing in
this Limited Power of Attorney shall be construed (i)
to be an amendment or modifications of, or
supplement to, the Investment Advisory Contract, (ii)
to amend, modify, limit or denigrate any duties,
obligations or liabilities of the Adviser under the
terms of the Investment Advisory Contract or (iii)
exonerate, relieve or release the Adviser any losses,
obligations, penalties, actions, judgments and suits
and other costs, expenses and disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Adviser (x) under
the terms of the Investment Advisory Contract or (y)
at law, or in equity, for the performance of its duties
as the investment adviser of any of the Funds.

	The Trust hereby agrees to indemnify and
save harmless the Adviser and its Trustees/partners,
officers and employees (each of the foregoing an
"Indemnified Party" and collectively the
"Indemnified Parties") against and from any and all
losses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments and
suits and other costs, expenses and disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an
Indemnified Party, other than as a consequence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
an Indemnified Party, arising out of or in connection
with this Limited Power of Attorney or any other
agreement, instrument or document executed in
connection with the exercise of the authority granted
to the Adviser herein to act on behalf of the Trust,
including without limitation the reasonable costs,
expenses and disbursements in connection with
defending such Indemnified Party against any claim
or liability related to the exercise or performance of
any of the Adviser's powers or duties under this
Limited Power of Attorney or any of the other
agreements, instruments or documents executed in
connection with the exercise of the authority granted
to the Adviser herein to act on behalf of the Trust, or
the taking of any action under or in connection with
any of the foregoing.  The obligations of the Trust
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of
this Limited Power of Attorney with respect to
actions taken by the Adviser on behalf of the Trust
during the term of this Limited Power of Attorney.
No Fund shall have any joint or several obligation
with any other Fund to reimburse or indemnify an
Indemnified Party for any action, event, matter or
occurrence performed or omitted by or on behalf of
the Adviser in its capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact
of Trust acting on behalf of any other Fund
hereunder.

	Any person, partnership, corporation or
other legal entity dealing with the Adviser in its
capacity as attorney-in-fact hereunder for the Trust is
hereby expressly put on notice that the Adviser is
acting solely in the capacity as an agent of the Trust
and that any such person, partnership, corporation or
other legal entity must look solely to the Trust in
question for enforcement of any claim against the
Trust, as the Adviser assumes no personal liability
whatsoever for obligations of the Trust entered into
by the Adviser in its capacity as attorney-in-fact for
the Trust.

	Each person, partnership, corporation or
other legal entity which deals with a Fund of the
Trust through the Adviser in its capacity as agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Trust, is hereby expressly put
on notice (i) that all persons or entities dealing with
the Trust must look solely to the assets of the Fund of
the Trust on whose behalf the Adviser is acting
pursuant to its powers hereunder for enforcement of
any claim against the Trust, as the Trustees, officers
and/or agents of such Trust, the shareholders of the
various classes of shares of the Trust and the other
Funds of the Trust assume no personal liability
whatsoever for obligations entered into on behalf of
such Fund of the Trust, and (ii) that the rights,
liabilities and obligations of any one Fund are
separate and distinct from those of any other Fund of
the Trust.

	The execution of this Limited Power of
Attorney by the Trust acting on behalf of the several
Funds shall not be deemed to evidence the existence
of any express or implied joint undertaking or
appointment by and among any or all of the Funds.
Liability for or recourse under or upon any
undertaking of the Adviser pursuant to the power or
authority granted to the Adviser under this Limited
Power of Attorney under any rule of law, statute or
constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment
or penalty or by legal or equitable proceedings or
otherwise shall be limited only to the assets of the
Fund of the Trust on whose behalf the Adviser was
acting pursuant to the authority granted hereunder.

	The Trust hereby agrees that no person,
partnership, corporation or other legal entity dealing
with the Adviser shall be bound to inquire into the
Adviser's power and authority hereunder and any
such person, partnership, corporation or other legal
entity shall be fully protected in relying on such
power or authority unless such person, partnership,
corporation or other legal entity has received prior
written notice from the Trust that this Limited Power
of Attorney has been revoked. This Limited Power of
Attorney shall be revoked and terminated
automatically upon the cancellation or termination of
the Investment Advisory Contract between the Trust
and the Adviser.  Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, the powers and
authorities herein granted may be revoked or
terminated by the Trust at any time provided that no
such revocation or termination shall be effective until
the Adviser has received actual notice of such
revocation or termination in writing from the Trust.

	This Limited Power of Attorney constitutes
the entire agreement between the Trust and the
Adviser, may be changed only by a writing signed by
both of them, and shall bind and benefit their
respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, the Adviser shall have no power or
authority hereunder to appoint a successor or
substitute attorney in fact for the Trust.

	This Limited Power of Attorney shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without
reference to principles of conflicts of laws.  If any
provision hereof, or any power or authority conferred
upon the Adviser herein, would be invalid or
unexercisable under applicable law, then such
provision, power or authority shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary to render it valid or
exercisable while most nearly preserving its original
intent, and no provision hereof, or power or authority
conferred upon the Adviser herein, shall be affected
by the invalidity or the non-exercisability of another
provision hereof, or of another power or authority
conferred herein.

	This Limited Power of Attorney may be
executed in as many identical counterparts as may be
convenient and by the different parties hereto on
separate counterparts.  This Limited Power of
Attorney shall become binding on the Trust when the
Trust shall have executed at least one counterpart and
the Adviser shall have accepted its appointment by
executing this Limited Power of Attorney.
Immediately after the execution of a counterpart
original of this Limited Power of Attorney and solely
for the convenience of the parties hereto, the Trust
and the Adviser will execute sufficient counterparts
so that the Adviser shall have a counterpart executed
by it and the Trust, and the Trust shall have a
counterpart executed by the Trust and the Adviser.
Each counterpart shall be deemed an original and all
such taken together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in
making proof of this Limited Power of Attorney to
produce or account for more than one such
counterpart.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has
caused this Limited Power of Attorney to be executed
by its duly authorized officer as of the date first
written above.
