FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT

Exhibit 13.11 under Form N-14

THIS AGREEMENT dated as of March 1, 2011 is made, severally and not jointly (except that the parties agree that the calculation required by paragraph 31 hereunder shall be joint and not several) by and between the registered investment companies listed on Schedule I to this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (each stand-alone registered investment company and each series company of a registered investment company a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York corporation authorized to do a banking business, having its principal place of business at Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (hereinafter called the “Bank”).

WITNESSETH:

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Funds and the Bank hereby agree as follows:

1. The Funds hereby appoint the Bank to perform the duties hereinafter set forth.

2. The Bank hereby accepts appointment and agrees to perform the duties hereinafter set forth.

3. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 below, the Bank shall compute the net asset value per share of each class of shares of each Fund listed on Schedule I hereto (all references to “Fund” shall be deemed to include all classes of the Fund) and shall value the securities held by each Fund (the “Securities”) at such times and dates and in the manner specified in the then currently effective registration statement or offering memorandum (the “Offering Materials”) of each Fund, except that notwithstanding any language in the Offering Materials, in no event shall the Bank be required to determine, or have any obligations with respect to, whether a market price represents any fair or true value, nor to adjust any price to reflect any events or announcements, including, without limitation, those with respect to the issuer thereof, it being agreed that all such determinations and considerations shall be solely for each Fund. However, the Bank agrees to incorporate into its calculation of a Fund’s net asset value any price or factor given by a Fund or by a third party valuation service upon instruction by a Fund.

4. To the extent valuation of Securities or computation of a Fund’s net asset value as specified in the Fund’s then currently effective Offering Materials is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, the Fund shall immediately so notify the Bank in writing and thereafter shall either furnish the Bank at all appropriate times with the values of such Securities and each Fund’s net asset value, or subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to value the Securities and compute each Fund’s net asset value in a manner which the Fund then represents in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. A Fund may also from time to time, subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to compute the value of the Securities or a Fund’s net asset value in a manner other than as specified in paragraph 3 of this Agreement. By giving such instruction, the Fund shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Offering Materials of the Fund. The Fund shall have sole responsibility for determining the method of valuation of Securities and the method of computing each Fund’s net asset value.

5. The Fund shall furnish the Bank with any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation as deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the amounts or written formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of Fund’s liabilities and expenses. The Bank shall not be required to include as a Fund’s liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of net asset value, any accrual for any federal, state, or foreign income taxes unless the Fund shall have specified to the Bank the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce net asset value. In calculating the prices for Securities the Bank will use the price services authorized by an authorized person for a Fund listed on Appendix B to this Agreement (“Authorized Persons List”). Such authorized person shall provide the list of authorized pricing services to the Bank in a writing signed by such authorized person substantially in the form of Appendix C to this Agreement. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Appendix C signed by an authorized person actually received by the Bank. A Fund shall also furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities if the Bank notifies the Fund that same are not available to the Bank from a Fund’s Authorized Pricing Services. At any time and from time to time, a Fund also may furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities and instruct the Bank to use such information in its calculations hereunder.

6. The Bank shall advise the Fund, the Fund’s custodian and the Fund’s transfer agent of the net asset value of each Fund upon completion of the computations required to be made by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

7. The Bank shall, as agent for the Fund, maintain and keep current the books, accounts and other documents, if any, and perform the additional duties, listed in Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time. Such books, accounts and other documents shall be made available upon reasonable request for inspection by officers, employees and auditors of a Fund during the Bank’s normal business hours, and shall be preserved for a period of seven (7) years. The Bank and the Fund’s intend to enter into a Service Level Guidelines Agreement (“SLA”), that may be amended from time to time by the parties, that will outline the Fund’s expectations with respect to specific services to be provided by the Bank and the operational mechanics of providing such services.

8. All records maintained and preserved by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement which a Fund is required to maintain and preserve in accordance with the above-mentioned Rules shall be and remain the property of a Fund and shall be surrendered to a Fund promptly upon request in the form in which such records have been maintained and preserved. Upon reasonable request of a Fund, the Bank shall provide in hard copy or electronic format, whichever the Bank shall elect, any records included in any such delivery which are maintained by the Bank on a computer disc, or are similarly maintained, and a Fund shall reimburse the Bank for its expenses of providing the same.

9. The Bank, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely fully on the accuracy and validity of any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation furnished to it by the Fund and shall have no duty or obligation to review the accuracy, validity or propriety of such instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation, including, without limitation, evaluations of Securities; the amounts or formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of a Fund’s liabilities and expenses; the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of Securities; the amounts receivable or amounts payable for the sale or redemption of Fund shares effected by or on behalf of the Fund. In the event the Bank’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including, without limitation, bid, offer or market values of Securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from Authorized Pricing Services, the Bank shall not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information.

10. The Bank shall not be required to inquire into any valuation of Securities or other assets by a Fund or any third party described in preceding paragraph 9 hereof, even though the Bank in performing services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or different securities of the same issuers.

11. The Bank, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to a Fund is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by a Fund.

12. The Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss, malfunctions of utilities or communication services, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions. Nor shall the Bank be responsible for delays or failures to supply the information or services specified in this Agreement where such delays or failures are caused by the failure of any person(s) other than the Bank to supply any instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

13. No provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Bank from offering services similar or identical to those covered by this Agreement to any other corporations, associations or entities of any kind. Any and all operational procedures, techniques and devices developed by the Bank in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including those developed in conjunction with a Fund, shall be and remain the property of the Bank, and the Bank shall be free to employ such procedures, techniques and devices in connection with the performance of any other contract with any other person whether or not such contract is similar or identical to this Agreement.

14. The Bank may, with respect to questions of law, apply to and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the independent trustees of a Fund or counsel that is mutually agreed upon by a Fund and Bank and shall be entitled to rely on the advice or opinion of such counsel.

15. The Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any oral instructions received by the Bank and reasonably believed by the Bank to be given by or on behalf of a Fund, even if the Bank subsequently receives written instructions contradicting such oral instructions. The books and records of the Bank with respect to the content of any oral instruction shall be binding and conclusive.

16. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Bank shall have no duty or obligation with respect to, including without limitation, any duty or obligation to determine, or advise or notify a Fund of: (a) the taxable nature of any distribution or amount received or deemed received by, or payable to, a Fund; (b) the taxable nature or effect on a Fund or its shareholders of any corporate actions, class actions, tax reclaims, tax refunds, or similar events; (c) the taxable nature or taxable amount of any distribution or dividend paid, payable or deemed paid, by a Fund to its shareholders; or (d) the effect under any federal, state, or foreign income tax laws of a Fund making or not making any distribution or dividend payment, or any election with respect thereto.

17. The Bank shall be held to a standard of reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Bank shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense, including counsel fees and other costs and expenses of a defense against any claim or liability, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with its performance hereunder, including its actions or omissions, the incompleteness or inaccuracy of any specifications or other information furnished by the Fund, or for any delays caused by circumstances beyond the Bank’s control, unless such loss, damage or expense arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. In no event shall the Bank be liable to the Funds or any third party for special, indirect, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

18. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Fund shall indemnify the Bank against and save the Bank harmless from any loss, damage or expense, including counsel fees and other costs and expenses of a defense against any claim or liability, arising from any one or more of the following:

(a) Errors in records or instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation of any kind, as the case may be, supplied to the Bank by any third party described in preceding paragraph 9 hereof or by or on behalf of a Fund;

(b) Action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by the Bank pursuant to written or oral instructions of the Fund or otherwise without negligence or willful misconduct;

(c) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Bank in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel for the independent trustees of a Fund;

(d) Any improper use by a Fund or its agents, distributor or investment advisor of any valuations or computations supplied by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement;

(e) The method of valuation of the Securities, provided that such valuation is carried out in accordance with preceding paragraph 5 of this Agreement, and the method of computing each Fund’s net asset value; or

(f) Any valuations of Securities or net asset value provided by the Fund.

19. In consideration for all of the services to be performed by the Bank as set forth herein the Bank shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses and such compensation as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time between the Bank and the Fund.

20. Attached hereto as Appendix B is a list of persons duly authorized to give any written or oral instructions, or written or oral specifications, by or on behalf of the Fund. From time to time the Fund may deliver a new Appendix B to add or delete any person and the Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Appendix B actually received by the Bank.

21. The Fund represents and warrants to the Bank that it has all requisite power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to give any written or oral instructions contemplated hereby, and to perform the actions or obligations contemplated to be performed by it hereunder, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery, and performance.

APPENDIX C

FAIR PRICING AUTHORIZATION MATRIX

FEDERATED INVESTORS, INC.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

DRAFT

ITG FAIR VALUE PRICING PROCEDURE

Funds Financial Services - Investment Management

Purpose of this Procedure

The intent of this document is to identify the procedures that should be followed by the Portfolio Accountant (PA), Fund Treasury and Investment Management for ITG Fair Valuations.

II.

Governing Policy

It is the responsibility of The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) to liaise with Federated Global Equity as to when to invoke Fair Value.

III.

Background / Overview

On a daily basis, BNY will monitor both Asian & European triggers (the triggers are defined in the procedure steps below). Events that move these triggers 50 basis points or more may require the need to Fair Value the international securities in Federated Funds. On days that either or both triggers are met, it is BNY’s responsibility to notify the Global Equity Traders (GET) so that the GET can determine if Fair Valuing of the International Securities in the Federated Funds is necessary.

In addition, the Valuation Committee approves, on an annual basis, a holiday calendar in which the FVM is to be utilized whether or not the above-mentioned triggers are met.

IV.

Procedure Steps

ITG’s fair value model (FVM) will be used for all international equity securities in Federated Funds.

The fair value procedure will be implemented when a significant (i.e. 0.5% or greater) change in either of two fair value triggers occurs. BNY will monitor the triggers on a daily basis as follows:

The first trigger incorporates two Nikkei 225 futures contracts (Bloomberg codes: NIA Index and NXA Index). The former is the most recent contract trading in Singapore and the latter is the most recent contract trading in Chicago. The starting point for this trigger is 1:00 AM EST/2:00 AM EDT (or the print closest to 1am/2am) using the Singapore contract, and the closing point is measured at 4:00 PM EST/EDT (or the print closest to 4pm) using the Chicago contract.

The following chart details the appropriate triggers in the event one or more of the above markets is closed.

	Singapore (NIA Index) / Chicago (NXA Index)
Japanese Stock Market	Open / Open	Open / Closed	Closed / Open	Closed / Closed
Open	NIA/NXA (from 1-2am to 4PM); 1-2am depending on Japanese close	GLOBEX S&P 500 (from Japanese close to 4 PM) - Symbol SPA Index or ESA Index	NXA (from 4AM to 4PM)	GLOBEX S&P 500 (from Japanese close to 4 PM) - Symbol SPA Index or ESA Index
Closed	NXA (from prior day’s 4PM to current 4PM)	GLOBEX S&P500 (from prior day’s 4PM to current 4PM) - Symbol SPA Index or ESA Index	NXA (from prior day’s 4PM to current 4PM)	GLOBEX S&P 500 (from prior day’s 4 PM to current 4 PM) - Symbol SPA Index or ESA Index

The second trigger captures the move of the S&P 500 from 11:30 AM EST/EDT (1^st print of the 11:30am SPX Index QR screen in Bloomberg) to 4:00 PM EST/EDT (Bloomberg SPX Index QR screen printed a few minutes past 4:00pm, but no later than 4:05pm).

Copies of the daily screen printouts used above in a) and b) will be maintained by BNY.

BNY will call the GET (see Exhibit I for current list of contacts) by 4:15 PM EST/EDT to have them indicate whether or not FVM is to be activated. If both or either trigger is met, and the GET decides NOT to activate FVM, the GET will advise BNY not to activate FVM and will provide a reason for the decision that was made. BNY must document the reason in the ITG FVM Log sheet.

The GET may also monitor the triggers throughout the course of the day as they perform their normal trading activities. Although BNY is responsible for monitoring the triggers, if the GET notices that the triggers have been met and BNY has not called to activate FVM by 4:30 PM EST/EDT, the GET may place a call to BNY to review the triggers and determine whether or not to activate FVM.

When the GET determines that FVM is to be activated, BNY will do the following:

Call Fund Treasury as soon as the decision to fair value is determined. BNY will also contact Fund Treasury if the decision is made not to fair value.

Fund Treasury will then immediately contact the other service provider that services international funds (State Street Bank) to provide instructions as to whether or not to invoke Fair Value. Fund Treasury will maintain a log to track when the calls are received from BNY and when notification is provided to State Street Bank.

Send an email to Fund Treasury confirming that FVM will be implemented for that day.

Although Fair Valuation Worksheets are not required, BNY will be required to complete the ITG FVM log sheet on the day that the fair value procedure is activated. The GET will also keep a file of screen prints from their live market data sources to validate the implementation.

The PAs will obtain the fair market value factors from ITG and proceed with adjusting the Post-Close Securities’ market values prior to determining the fund’s final net asset value (NAV) for the day.

The PAs will prepare a schedule that details the following information:

The market values for the Post-Close Securities (prior to adjustment);

ii.

The fair market value factors;

iii.

The market values adjusted for the FVM factor and

iv.

The fund’s net asset value (NAV) before and after the adjustment.

The PAs will provide the schedule from (e) above the next business day to Fund Treasury and the appropriate portfolio manager.

Exceptions

The Valuation Committee approves, on an annual basis, a holiday calendar in which the FVM is to be utilized whether or not the above-mentioned triggers are met. On these days, the ITG fair value model will automatically be utilized and therefore the above procedures are not applicable.

Key Terms, Definitions, References

Portfolio Accountant (PA) – the mutual fund accounting service providers. The service providers include State Street Corp. (SSB) and Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). Unless otherwise specified, this term applies to both service providers.

FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT

This Compliance Support Services Addendum is effective as of May 31, 2012 by and between the investment companies listed on Exhibit 1 to this Addendum (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON (“BNY Mellon”).

BACKGROUND:

The Funds and BNY Mellon are parties to a certain Fund Accounting Agreement dated March 1, 2011, as amended (the “Agreement”).

This Addendum is intended to supplement the Agreement with regard to additional services offered by BNY Mellon and shall be applicable solely to the Funds identified at Exhibit 1 hereto.

Each Fund hereby instructs BNY Mellon to provide the compliance support services (“Support Services”) described in this Addendum, and BNY Mellon acknowledges such instruction and is willing to provide such Support Services pursuant to the terms set forth herein.

This Background section is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Addendum.

TERMS:

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

BNY Mellon shall provide, or cause its affiliates to provide, the Support Services, as they are described at Exhibit 2 hereto, subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement.

As compensation for providing the Support Services, the Funds shall pay BNY Mellon a fee or fees as may be agreed to from time to time in writing by the parties hereto.

Each Fund hereby represents and warrants to BNY Mellon that (i) the terms of this Addendum, (ii) the fees and expenses associated with this Addendum and (iii) any benefits accruing to BNY Mellon and/or any affiliate of such Fund relating to this Addendum have been fully disclosed to the Board of Trustees of the Fund and that, if required by applicable law, such Board of Trustees has approved or will approve the terms of this Addendum, any such fees and expenses, and any such fees and expenses, and any such benefits.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Addendum, the Support Services are not, nor shall they be construed as constituting, legal advice or the provision of legal services for or on behalf of a Fund or any other person. Neither this Addendum nor the provision of the Support Services establishes or is intended to establish an attorney-client relationship between BNY Mellon and a Fund or any other person.

While BNY Mellon, when providing certain of the Support Services, may identify out-of-compliance conditions, BNY Mellon does not, and could not for the fees charged, make any guarantees, representations or warranties with respect to its ability to identify any or all such conditions.

The parties hereto acknowledge that all work produced by BNY Mellon in providing the Support Services, and the performance of the Support Services in general, by BNY Mellon pursuant to this Addendum will be a the request and direction of each Fund and Fund’s chief compliance officer (“CCO”). BNY Mellon disclaims liability to the Fund, and the Fund is solely responsible, for the selection, qualifications and performance of the Fund’s CCO and the adequacy and effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program.

BNY Mellon shall not be responsible for: (a) delays in the transmission to it by the Funds, the Funds’ adviser and entities unaffiliated with BNY Mellon (collectively, for this Addendum, “Third Parties”) of data required for the Support Services, (b) inaccuracies of, errors in or omissions of, such data provided to it by any Third Party, and (c) review of such data provided to it by any Third Party. This Section 6 is a limitation of responsibility provision for the benefit of BNY Mellon, and shall not be used to imply any responsibility or liability against BNY Mellon.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

As hereby supplemented, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control with respect to the Support Services.

(b)

This Addendum may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The facsimile signature of any party to the Addendum shall constitute the valid and binding execution hereof by such party.

(c)

If any provision or provisions of this Addendum shall be held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

(Signature page follows.)

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Addendum to be executed by their duly authorized officers designated below on the date and year noted below.
