Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent It is understood and agreed that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature, and that: 5.1 The Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer, on a daily basis, of the Escrow Amounts which have been deposited in the Bank Account and of the amounts, constituting the Fund, which have cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent. 5.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any agreement between the Issuer and third parties nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the performance by the Issuer of its respective obligations under this Agreement. 5.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept from the Issuer any Subscription Information pertaining to prospective purchasers unless such Subscription Information is accompanied by checks, cash, or wire transfers meeting the requirements of Section 3.1, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to keep records of any information with respect to payments deposited except as to the names, addresses and amounts of such payments; however, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any discrepancy between the amount set forth in any Subscription Information and the amount delivered to the Escrow Agent therewith. Such amount need not be accepted for deposit in the Escrow Account until such discrepancy has been resolved. 5.4 The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder.

The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person purporting to give any such notice or instructions or to execute any such certificate, instrument or other document. 5.6 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the Bank Account, the Escrow Amounts or the Fund which, in its sole determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it or with any provision of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to hold the Escrow Amounts, the Fund, or a portion thereof, in the Bank Account pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent’s sole satisfaction, by final judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or otherwise; or the Escrow Agent, at its sole option, may deposit the Fund (and any other Escrow Amounts that thereafter become part of the Fund) with the Clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which all parties in interest are joined. Upon the deposit by the Escrow Agent of the Fund with the Clerk of any such court, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability hereunder. 5.7 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers and dealers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution. Consistent with this obligation, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who sell shares of the Funds or provide the Funds, Adviser's other clients, or Sub-Adviser's other clients with research, analysis, advice and similar services. The Sub-Adviser may pay to brokers and dealers, in return for such research and analysis, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, subject to the Sub-Adviser determining in good faith that such commission or spread is reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to the Funds and their other clients and that the total commissions or spreads paid by each Fund will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and any exemptive orders currently in effect. Whenever the Sub-Adviser simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of a Fund and one or more other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account. (c) The Sub-Adviser will maintain all required books and records with respect to the securities transactions of the Funds, and will furnish the Board and Adviser with such periodic and special reports as the Board or Adviser reasonably may request. Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Adviser are the property of the Adviser, and agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by applicable law any records which it maintains for the Adviser and which are required to be maintained, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Adviser any records which it maintains for the Adviser upon request by the Adviser.

(b) Invesco PowerShares Capital Management agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution; provided that, on behalf of any Fund, Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may, in its discretion, use brokers who provide Invesco PowerShares Capital Management with research, analysis, advice and similar services, and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may cause a Fund to pay to those brokers in return for brokerage and research services a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, subject to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management’s determining in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the research and execution services received. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any applicable exemptive orders. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management may aggregate sales and purchase orders with respect to the assets of the Funds with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management or its affiliates. Whenever Invesco PowerShares Capital Management simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of a Fund and one or more other accounts advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable, over time, to each account.
