OF
FEDERATED AMERICAN LEADERS FUND, INC.
Effective August 18, 2005
Delete, ARTICLE IX, INDEMNIFICATION in its entirety and replace with the
following:
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

	Section 1.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.  The Corporation shall
indemnify its directors to the fullest extent that indemnification of
directors is permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law.  The
Corporation shall indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors
and to such further extent as is consistent with law.  The Corporation shall
indemnify its directors and officers who while serving as directors or
officers also serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan to
the fullest extent consistent with law.  The indemnification and other rights
provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.  This Article shall not protect any such
person against any liability to the Corporation or any Shareholder thereof to
which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of (i) willful
misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence or (iv) reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his office ("disabling conduct").

	Section 2.  ACTION BY DIRECTOR AGAINST THE CORPORATION.  With respect to any
action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as
plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such
action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (i) was authorized by a
majority of the Directors or (ii) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce
his rights to indemnification hereunder in a case in which the indemnitee is
found to be entitled to such indemnification.

	Section 3.  SURVIVAL.  The rights to indemnification set forth herein shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer of the
Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and
personal and legal representatives.

	Section 4.  AMENDMENTS. References in this Article are to the Maryland
General Corporation Law and to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as from
time to time amended.  No amendment or restatement of these by-laws or repeal
of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate any of the benefits provided
to any person who at any time is or was a Director or officer of the
Corporation or otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of
any act or omission that occurred prior to such amendment, restatement or
repeal.

	Section 5.  PROCEDURE.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification
shall be made hereunder unless there has been a determination (i) by a final
decision on the merits by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction
before whom the issue of entitlement to indemnification hereunder was brought
that such indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder or, (ii) in the
absence of such a decision, by (1) a majority vote of a quorum of those
Directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation (as defined
in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) nor parties to the proceeding
("Disinterested Non-Party Directors"), that the indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable (or even if
obtainable, if such majority so directs) independent legal counsel in a written
opinion concludes, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to
a full trial-type inquiry) that the indemnitee should be entitled to
indemnification hereunder.  All determinations to make advance payments in
connection with the expense of defending any proceeding shall be authorized
and made in accordance with the immediately succeeding paragraph (f) below.

	Section 6.  ADVANCES.  Any current or former director or officer of the
Corporation seeking indemnification within the scope of this Article shall be
entitled to advances from the Corporation for payment of the reasonable
expenses incurred by him in connection with the matter as to which he is
seeking indemnification in the manner and to fullest extent permissible under
the Maryland General Corporation Law.  The person seeking indemnification
shall provide to the Corporation a written affirmation of his good faith
belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Corporation has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance
if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not
been met.  In addition, at least one of the following additional conditions
shall be met:  (a) the person seeking indemnification shall provide a security
in form and amount acceptable to the Corporation for his undertaking; (b) the
Corporation is insured against losses arising by reason of the advance, or (c)
a majority of a quorum of Disinterested Non-Party Directors, or independent
legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall be determined, based on a review of
facts readily available to the Corporation at the time the advance is proposed
to be made, that there is reason to believe that the person seeking
indemnification will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification.

	Section 7.  OTHER RIGHTS.  The rights accruing to any indemnitee under these
provisions shall not exclude any other right which any person may have or
hereafter acquire under the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Corporation, by contract or otherwise under law, by a vote of stockholders or
Directors who are "disinterested persons" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of
the 1940 Act) or any other right to which he may be lawfully entitled.
	Section 8.  INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.  Subject to any
limitations provided by the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act or otherwise
under the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Corporation,
contract or otherwise under law, the Corporation shall have the power and
authority to indemnify and provide for the advance payment of expenses to
employees, agents and other persons providing services to the Corporation or
serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation to the full extent
permitted by applicable law, provided that such indemnification has been
approved by a majority of the Directors.
