     This Amendment effective as of January 1, 2010, amends the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contracts for Mutual Funds (the “Contracts”), dated May 1, 2008,between Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc., (the “Adviser”), on behalf of each registered investment company set forth on Exhibit A to this Amendment (each individually referred to as “Trust”, or collectively, “Trusts”), and their series portfolios (the “Funds”), and each of Invesco Trimark Ltd., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Ltd., Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.

     WHEREAS, at the close of business on December 31, 2009, Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. and Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. merged into Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., and subsequently Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. was renamed Invesco Advisers, Inc.;
     WHEREAS, Invesco Advisers, Inc., as successor to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. by merger, assumes all of Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc.’s rights, duties and obligations under its Contracts with each of            Invesco Trimark Ltd., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Ltd., Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.;
     WHEREAS, because Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A), Inc. has merged into Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Contracts between Invesco Advisers, Inc.(as successor to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. by merger) and Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., in its capacity as a Sub-Adviser, need to be terminated and the parties desire to terminate the same;
     WHEREAS, because Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. has changed its name to Invesco Advisers, Inc. and has become the adviser to the Funds, there is no longer a need for a sub-advisory contract with Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. and the parties desire to terminate the same;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. It is acknowledged and agreed that, as of January 1, 2010, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (as successor to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. by merger) shall assume all of Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc.’s rights, duties and obligations as its own and shall be bound by the terms of such Contracts with each of Invesco Trimark Ltd., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Ltd.,

 


 

Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc..
2. The Contracts between Invesco Advisers, Inc. (as successor to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. by merger) and Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., in its capacity as a Sub-Adviser, are terminated as of January 1, 2010.
3. The Contracts between Invesco Advisers, Inc. (as successor to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. by merger) and Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., in its capacity as a Sub-Adviser, are terminated as of January 1, 2010;
All other terms and provisions of the Contracts not amended shall remain in full force and effect.
