EIGHTH AMENDED AND RESTATED

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

(Securities Lending Administrative Fee Waiver)

This Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum of Agreement is entered into as of the dates indicated on Exhibit “A” between AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), AIM Equity Funds (Invesco Equity Funds), AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), AIM Growth Series (Invesco Growth Series), AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), AIM Investment Securities Funds (Invesco Investment Securities Funds), AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds), AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), AIM Treasurer’s Series Trust (Invesco Treasurer’s Series Trust), AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), Invesco Management Trust, Invesco Securities Trust 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 Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”).

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 agree as follows:

 

  1. Invesco agrees 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 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 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 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 are unable to reach an agreement on the amount of the Waiver to which the Fund and Invesco 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 agree to be bound.

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.

Nothing in this Memorandum of Agreement is intended to affect any other memorandum of agreement executed by any Fund or Invesco 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 have entered into this Memorandum of Agreement as of the dates indicated on Exhibit “A”.
