FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (SECURITIES LENDING ADMINISTRATIVE FEE WAIVER)
This Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum of Agreement is entered into as
of the dates indicated on Exhibit “A” between AIM Counselor Series Trust, AIM
Equity Funds, AIM Funds Group, AIM Growth Series, AIM International Mutual
Funds, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities Funds, AIM Sector Funds,
AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, AIM Treasurer’s Series Trust, AIM Variable Insurance Funds
and Short-Term Investments Trust (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”),
on behalf of the portfolios listed on Exhibit “A” to this Memorandum of
Agreement (the “Portfolios”), and Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (“Invesco Aim”).
For and in consideration of the mutual terms and agreements set forth
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Funds and Invesco Aim agree as follows:
1. | Each Fund, for itself and its Portfolios, and Invesco Aim agree that until the expiration date, if any, of the commitment set forth on the attached Exhibit “A” occurs, as such Exhibit “A” is amended from time to time, Invesco Aim has agreed that it will not charge any administrative fee under each Portfolio’s advisory agreement in connection with securities lending activities without prior approval from the Portfolio’s Board (such agreement is referred to as the “Waiver”). | ||
2. | Neither a Fund nor Invesco Aim may remove or amend the Waiver to a Fund’s detriment prior to requesting and receiving the approval of the Portfolio’s Board to remove or amend the Waiver. Invesco Aim will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived. |
Unless a Fund, by vote of its Board of Trustees terminates the Waiver, or a
Fund and Invesco Aim are unable to reach an agreement on the amount of the
Waiver to which the Fund and Invesco Aim desire to be bound, the Waiver will
continue indefinitely with respect to such Fund. Exhibit “A” will be amended to
reflect the new date through which a Fund and Invesco Aim agree to be bound.
Nothing in this Memorandum of Agreement is intended to affect any other
memorandum of agreement executed by any Fund or Invesco Aim with respect to any
other fee waivers, expense reimbursements and/or expense limitations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Fund, on behalf of itself and its Portfolios
listed in Exhibit “A” to this Memorandum of Agreement, and Invesco Aim have
entered into this Memorandum of Agreement as of the dates indicated on Exhibit
“A”.
