Exhibit 10.2

AGREEMENT OF AMENDMENT

Dated as of June 30, 2005

Reference is made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 21, 2000 (as from time to time amended prior to the date hereof, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Federated Investors Management Company (the “Transferor”), Federated Securities Corp. (the “Distributor”), Federated Funding 1997-1, Inc. (the “Seller”), Federated Investors, Inc. (the “Parent”), Citibank, N.A., as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and Citicorp North America, Inc., as program agent (the “Program Agent”).

WHEREAS, as a result of FSP EITF 85-24-1 (the “FSP”) posted on March 11, 2005 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, certain of the provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement may lead to a conclusion that Seller has not sold the Purchased Receivables for purposes of GAAP, unless the Purchase Agreement is amended prior to June 30, 2005 with retroactive effect to December 21, 2000;

WHEREAS, the Purchaser is not able to agree to the removal of any provisions from the Purchase Agreement with retroactive effect, but is willing to move certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement so that such provisions are no longer the obligations of the Distributor, and to confirm that such provisions are the obligations of the Parent; and

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement of Amendment desire to amend the Purchase Agreement with retroactive effect to December 21, 2000 as set forth below in order to eliminate the effect of the FSP on the separate financial statements of the Distributor;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(c) Section 5.03 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “and” set forth at the end of clause (f) thereto, by replacing the “.” set forth at the end of clause (g) thereto with “; and”, and by adding the following language as clause (h) thereto:
