THIS AGREEMENT is made as of this 1st day of June, 2010 by and among
Invesco Advisers, Inc. ("Advisor"), a Delaware corporation, advisor of various
Trusts (the "Trust") and series funds of each Trust identified on Schedule A
(the "Funds") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Management Limited (the "Temporary
Investment Advisor"), a corporation organized under the existing laws of England
and Wales. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective
meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreement (defined below).
WHEREAS, Advisor acts as investment adviser to the Trust and each of the
Funds;
WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have entered into a Transaction Agreement dated
as of October 19, 2009 (the "Transaction Agreement") whereby Buyer has agreed to
acquire the Venus Business including in respect of its provision of investment
advisory services to the '40 Act Management Funds that are open-end companies
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act (each, a "Venus Business
Fund"), which services Buyer intends to be provided by Advisor following the
Closing;
WHEREAS, in order to implement Advisor's provision of investment advisory
services to the Venus Business Funds, Buyer and Seller will cooperate to
undertake the respective actions contemplated by the conversion plan attached as
Exhibit K to the Transaction Agreement (the "Conversion Plan") as promptly as
practicable;
WHEREAS, the Conversion Plan contemplates that the Venus Business Funds
will be reorganized into the Funds (with respect to each Fund, its
"Reorganization");
WHEREAS, as further contemplated by the Conversion Plan, it is intended
that, with respect to each Venus Business Fund whose investment team is part of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, such investment team
will (i) upon the Closing and the closing of the Reorganization of such Venus
Business Fund into its respective Fund, manage such Fund as employees of Advisor

Advisor, be converted onto Advisor's front-office and middle-office platform

WHEREAS, it may not be possible to effect the Investment Team Conversion

effected prior to its Reorganization, it is intended that the Venus Business
investment team for such Fund (the "Investment Team") shall provide investment
advisory services to such Fund through the Temporary Investment Advisor pursuant

the assets of each of the Funds.
NOW THEREFORE it is mutually agreed:

concerning the Temporary Investment Advisor's activities which the Trust is
required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the Trust's officers
and the Board concerning the Temporary Investment Advisor's discharge of
the foregoing responsibilities. The Temporary Investment Advisor and its
affiliates shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent
contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized,
have no authority to act for or represent the Funds in any way or otherwise
be deemed an agent of the Funds.
(ii) The Temporary Investment Advisor shall have full discretion,
power and authority on the Funds' behalf to buy, sell, retain, exchange or

transactions on any markets, enter into derivatives (which term, for the
purposes of this Agreement, shall include futures, forwards, options, swaps
and other contingent liability investments, whether executed on a
recognized exchange or market or traded "over-the-counter") take all day to
day decisions and otherwise act as the Temporary Investment Advisor judges
appropriate in relation to the investment and reinvestment of the portfolio
of assets of the Funds. This includes performing all acts and executing all
documents which the Temporary Investment Advisor reasonably considers
incidental thereto, including (without limitation) power to execute and
deliver all applications, requests, or claims for refund, reduction,
repayment or credit of, or exemption or relief from, any withholding tax or
similar taxes in any jurisdiction in which such applications, requests or
claims may be made. Subject to guidelines adopted by the Funds, the
Temporary Investment Advisor shall also make recommendations or take action
as to the manner in which voting rights, rights to consent to corporate
action and any other rights pertaining to the portfolio of assets of each
Fund shall be exercised.
2
(iii) In performing these services, the Temporary Investment Advisor
shall always adhere to the restrictions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust
and By-Laws, as they may be amended and/or restated from time to time to
the extent provided to the Temporary Investment Advisor by Advisor or the
Trust, any and all policies, procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board
on behalf of the Funds and provided to the Temporary Investment Advisor by
Advisor or the Trust, such reasonable internal policies, procedures or
guidelines of Advisor as notified by Advisor in writing to be applicable to
the Temporary Investment Advisor, the provisions of the Investment Company
Act and the statements relating to each Fund's respective investment
objective(s), investment policies and investment restrictions as set forth
in the currently effective prospectus and statement of additional
information relating to the shares of each Fund under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Prospectus" and "Statement of Additional Information,"
respectively) and provided to the Temporary Investment Advisor by Advisor
or the Trust, as well as to the supervision of Advisor and the Board.
(iv) Unless otherwise instructed by Advisor or the Board, and subject
to the provisions of this Agreement and to any guidelines or limitations
specified from time to time by Advisor or by the Board and provided thereby
to the Temporary Investment Advisor, the Temporary Investment Advisor shall
have executed and performed on behalf of and at the expense of the
respective Funds:
(1) Purchases, sales, exchanges, conversions, and placement of
orders for execution; and
(2) Reporting of all transactions to Advisor and to other
entities as directed by Advisor or by the Board.
(v) The Temporary Investment Advisor may, where reasonable, employ
agents (including affiliates) to perform any administrative, dealing or
ancillary services required to enable the Temporary Investment Advisor to
perform its services under this Agreement, provided that (i) in selecting
such an agent, (i) the Temporary Investment Advisor shall be subject to the
duty of care required of the Temporary Investment Advisor hereunder and
(ii) in the case of the delegation of any advisory services, the Temporary
Investment Advisor shall only delegate to an affiliate that is also an
investment adviser registered under the Adviser Act.
(b) Restriction of the Temporary Investment Advisor' Powers
(i) In carrying out its duties hereunder, the Temporary Investment
Advisor shall comply with all reasonable instructions of the Trust or
Advisor in connection therewith. Such instructions may be given by letter,
telex, telefax, electronic mail ("E-MAIL") (so long as a receipt for such
e-mail is requested and received) or telephone confirmed by telex or e-mail
(in the manner described above), by the Board or by any other person
authorized by a resolution of the Board provided a certified copy of such
resolution has been supplied to the Temporary Investment Advisor.
(ii) All securities, cash and other assets of the Funds shall be
placed and maintained in the care of a member bank of the Federal Reserve
System of the United States approved by the Board as custodian and/or one
or more "Eligible Foreign Custodians" (as defined in Rule 17f-5 under the
Investment Company Act).
3
(iii) Persons authorized by resolution of the Board shall have the
right to inspect and copy contracts, notes, vouchers, and copies of entries
in books or electronic recording media relating to the Trust's transactions
at the registered office of the Temporary Investment Advisor at any time
during normal business hours following reasonable notice to the Temporary
Investment Advisor. Such records, in relation to each transaction effected
by the Temporary Investment Advisor on behalf of the Trust, shall be
maintained by the Temporary Investment Advisor for a period of seven years
from the date of each respective transaction or such longer period as
specified by applicable law.
(c) Purchase and Sale of Securities
In performing the services described above, the Temporary Investment
Advisor may place orders for the purchase or sale of securities either directly
with the issuer or with any broker or dealer (including any affiliate of the
Temporary Investment Advisor, to the extent permitted by law), provided that the
Temporary Investment Advisor shall seek to obtain for the Funds the most
favorable price and execution available. The Temporary Investment Advisor may,
to the extent authorized by law, cause the Funds to pay a broker or dealer
(including an affiliate of the Temporary Investment Advisor, to the extent
permitted by law) who provides brokerage and research services an amount of
commission for effecting the Funds' investment transactions in excess of the
amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting
such transactions, in recognition of the brokerage and research services
provided by the broker or dealer. To the extent authorized by law, the Temporary
Investment Advisor shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have
breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of
such action.
2. DUTIES OF ADVISOR.

that it has in its possession and that is not otherwise available to the
