and Short-Term Investments Trust (each a "Trust" or, collectively, the
"Trusts"), on behalf of the funds listed on the Exhibits to this Memorandum of
Agreement (the "Funds"), and Invesco Advisers, Inc. ("Invesco"). Invesco shall
and hereby agrees to waive fees of the Funds, on behalf of their respective
classes as applicable, severally and not jointly, as indicated in the Exhibits.
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 Trusts and Invesco agree that until at least
the expiration date set forth on Exhibit A (the "Expiration Date") and with
respect to those Funds listed on the Exhibit, Invesco will waive its advisory
fees at the rate set forth on the Exhibit.
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 Trusts and Invesco Aim agree as follows:
1. Each Trust, for itself and its Funds, and Invesco agree that until
the expiration date, if any, of the commitment set forth on the
attached Exhibit B occurs, as such Exhibit B is amended from time to
time, Invesco will waive advisory fees payable by an Investing Trust
in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco receives on
the Uninvested Cash (defined below) from the Affiliated Money Market
Fund (defined below) in which the Investing Trust invests (the
"Waiver").
i. Invesco's Fund Accounting Group will calculate, and apply, the
Waiver monthly, based upon the average investment of Uninvested
Cash made by the Investing Trust during the previous month in an
Affiliated Money Market Fund.
ii. The Waiver will not apply to those investing Trusts that do not
charge an advisory fee, either due to the terms of their advisory
agreement, or as a result of contractual or voluntary fee
waivers.
iii. The Waiver will not apply to cash collateral for securities
lending.
For purposes of the paragraph above, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
(a) "Affiliated Money Market Fund" - any existing or future Trust
that holds itself out as a money market fund and complies with
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
and
(b) "Uninvested Cash" - cash available and uninvested by a Trust
that may result from a variety of sources, including dividends or
interest received on portfolio securities, unsettled securities
transactions, strategic reserves, matured investments, proceeds
from liquidation of investment securities, dividend payments, or
new investor capital.
2. Neither a Trust nor Invesco may remove or amend the Waiver to a
Trust's detriment prior to requesting and receiving the approval of
the Board of Trustee of the applicable Fund's Trust to remove or amend
such Waiver. Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any
amount so waived.
The Boards of Trustees and Invesco may terminate or modify this Memorandum
of Agreement prior to the Expiration Date only by mutual written consent.
Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or
reimbursed.
Subject to the foregoing paragraphs, each of the Trusts and Invesco agree
to review the then-current waivers for each class of the Funds listed on the
Exhibits on a date prior to the Expiration Date to determine whether such
waivers should be amended, continued or terminated. The waivers will expire
upon the Expiration Date unless the Trusts and Invesco have agreed to continue
them. The Exhibits will be amended to reflect any such agreement.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trusts hereunder shall
not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers,
agents or employees of the Trusts personally, but shall only bind the assets and
property of the Funds, as provided in each Trust's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust. The execution and delivery of this Memorandum of Agreement have been
authorized by the Trustees of each Trust, and this Memorandum of Agreement has
been executed and delivered by an authorized officer of each Trust acting as
such; neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and
delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them
individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall
bind only the assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trust's
Agreement and Declaration of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Trusts, on behalf of itself and its Funds
listed in Exhibit A and B to this Memorandum of Agreement, and Invesco have
entered into this Memorandum of Agreement as of the Effective Date on the
attached Exhibits.
