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, Invesco agrees 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 agree as follows:
1. Invesco agrees 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 Fund (defined below) 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 Fund 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 Fund during the
previous month in an Affiliated Money Market Fund.
ii. The Waiver will not apply to those Investing Funds 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;
(b) "Investing Fund" - any Fund investing Cash Balances and/or Cash
Collateral in an Affiliated Money Market Fund; and
(c) "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, Invesco agrees 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
