iv.

Maintain records relating to the advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser hereunder required to be prepared and maintained by the Sub-Adviser or by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Fund pursuant to applicable law;

viii.

Provide instructions to the Custodian concerning trade deliveries and settlements;

ix.

As soon as practicable after the close of business each day but no later than 11:00 am Eastern time the following business day (or such later time agreed to between Adviser and Sub-Adviser) provide the Custodian with electronic copies (or, as applicable, electronic communications) of trade tickets for each transaction effected for the Fund by the Sub-Adviser, provide electronic copies (or, as applicable, electronic communications) to the Adviser and the Fund upon reasonable request, and promptly forward to the Custodian electronic copies (or, as applicable, electronic communications) of all brokerage or dealer confirmations received by the Sub-Adviser;

As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month (and, in no event, later than any time agreed between Adviser and Sub-Adviser), reconcile, to the extent necessary information is in Sub-Adviser’s possession and provided by the Custodian, all transactions effected for the Fund during the month by the Sub-Adviser, and such other transaction information, and communicate to the Adviser any material discrepancies identified, as the Adviser or the Fund may reasonably request in connection with any advisory services that the Sub-Adviser provides for the Fund; and

xi.

Provide instructions to Custodian regarding corporate actions.

(b) CODE OF ETHICS. The Sub-Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics that it reasonably believes complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Code of Ethics”), which it has provided to the Adviser and the Fund. The Sub-Adviser shall ensure that it complies in all material respects with the Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics, as in effect from time to time. Upon request, the Sub-Adviser shall provide the Adviser and the Fund with a (i) copy of the Sub-Adviser’s current Code of Ethics, as in effect from time to time, and (ii) a

mutually acceptable certification that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent its personnel from engaging in any conduct prohibited by the Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics.

The Sub-Adviser shall respond to reasonable requests for information from the Adviser and the Fund as to violations of the Code of Ethics by personnel and the sanctions imposed by the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser and the Fund of any material violation of the Code of Ethics, whether or not such violation relates to a security held by the Fund.

(c) BROKERAGE. In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to select the brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants, or other intermediaries that will execute purchase and sale transactions for the Fund’s portfolio, to execute for the Fund as its agent and attorney-in-fact standard customer agreements and other documentation in connection with opening trading accounts with such brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants, or other intermediaries including, ISDA agreements. Sub-Adviser agrees to use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain the best execution consistent with applicable law with respect to all such purchases and sales of portfolio securities for said portfolio. Subject to its obligation to seek best execution, Sub-Adviser may: (A) select brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants or other intermediaries that are affiliated persons of the Fund, Adviser or Sub-Adviser, provided that any trade orders placed with any such affiliated person are placed in accordance with the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the Fund’s and Sub-Adviser’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time; and (B) consider the reliability, integrity and financial condition of a broker, dealer, futures commission merchants, or other intermediary, the size of and difficulty in executing a transaction, the best net price available, the value of the expected contribution of the broker–dealer to the investment performance of the Fund on a continuing basis, and other factors that Sub-Adviser deems appropriate and consistent with Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures as in effect from time to time in selecting brokers, dealers, futures commission merchants or other intermediaries. The price to the Fund in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the portfolio execution services offered. The Sub-Adviser shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Section. Such records shall be made available to the Adviser and the Fund upon request.

In evaluating the ability of a broker-dealer to provide best execution with respect to a particular transaction, the Sub-Adviser may also consider the brokerage and research services provided (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act). Consistent with any guidelines established by the Adviser or the Board and Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund that is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer — viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of the overall responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser to its discretionary clients, including the Fund. In addition, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to allocate purchase and sale orders for securities to brokers or dealers (including brokers and dealers that are affiliated with the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser or the Fund’s principal underwriter) if

the Sub-Adviser believes that the quality of the transaction and the commission are comparable to what they would be with other qualified firms. In no instance, however, will the Fund’s assets be purchased from or sold to the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser, the Fund’s principal underwriter, or any affiliated person of either the Fund, the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser or the Fund’s principal underwriter, acting as principal in the transaction, except to the extent permitted by the SEC and the 1940 Act.

The Sub-Adviser shall cause all securities and other property purchased or sold for the Fund to be settled at the place of business of the Custodian or as the Custodian shall direct.

At the request of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser shall (or shall cause the Fund to) execute a mutually acceptable standalone limited power of attorney evidencing the Sub-Adviser’s authority to effect transactions on behalf of the Fund.

(d) CUSTODY. All securities and other property of the Fund shall remain in the direct or indirect custody of the Custodian except as otherwise authorized by the Board. The Sub-Adviser shall have the authority to instruct the Custodian to pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for the Fund and deliver securities and other property against payment for the Fund, and such other authority granted by the Fund from time to time. The Sub-Adviser shall not have authority to cause the Custodian to deliver securities and other property or pay cash to the Sub-Adviser except as expressly provided herein.

(e) PROXY VOTING. Adviser hereby authorizes Sub-Adviser to, and Sub-Adviser will, in Sub-Adviser’s discretion and without prior consultation with Adviser or the Board, vote (either directly or through a voting service engaged by Sub-Adviser) all proxies and corporate actions of which Sub-Adviser receives timely notice that are solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities or other assets in which the sub-advised assets may be invested from time to time. Such votes shall be made by Sub-Adviser in accordance with Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures as in effect from time to time. Upon written notice to Sub-Adviser, the Board may at any time withdraw the authority granted to Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Section to perform any or all of the proxy voting services contemplated hereby. While Sub-Adviser will reasonably cooperate with Adviser in providing information to Adviser to allow Adviser to prepare (or cause to be prepared) Form N-PX filings, Federated shall not be responsible for making any Form N-PX filings.

(f) AGGREGATION OF ORDERS. Sub-Adviser may (but shall not be obligated to) aggregate purchase or sale orders for the Fund with contemporaneous purchase or sale orders of other clients of Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons. In such event, allocation of the securities or other investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by Sub-Adviser in the manner Sub-Adviser considers to be equitable and consistent with Sub-Adviser’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time and consistent with applicable law. Adviser hereby acknowledges that such aggregation of orders may not result in a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions in all instances.

3. DUTIES OF SUB-ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, and in connection with the operation of the Fund’s business and affairs, the Sub-Administrator shall provide facilities, equipment and personnel to carry out the sub-administrative services agreed to between Adviser and Sub-Administrator from time to time.

any mistake of law, or any other act or omission by Federated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and, therefore, nothing in this Agreement will in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which Adviser (or the Fund) may have under any federal securities law or state law that cannot be waived by contract.

(d) The Sub-Adviser and Sub-Administrator, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and the Fund from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable related expenses) resulting from its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or from its reckless disregard or material breach of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser’s obligation under this Section 19(d) shall be reduced to the extent that the claim against, or the loss, liability or damage experienced by the Adviser or the Fund, is caused by or is otherwise directly related to the Adviser’s or the Fund’s (or another service provider’s (other than Federated’s)) own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the reckless disregard or material breach of its duties under this Agreement, the Investment Management and Administration Agreement or other agreement with the Adviser or the Fund.

(e) The Sub-Adviser and Sub-Administrator, severally and not jointly, shall be responsible for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Fund or the Adviser in responding to a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim, or suit involving the Sub-Adviser or Sub-Administrator, respectively, to which neither the Fund nor the Adviser is a party.

(f) Adviser shall be responsible for any reasonable expenses incurred by the Sub-Adviser or Sub-Administrator, as applicable, in responding to a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim or suit involving the Adviser or the Fund to which Sub-Adviser or Sub-Administrator, as applicable, is not a party.

(h) Neither Federated nor the Adviser shall be liable for special, consequential or incidental damages.

(i) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Fund or officer of the Adviser or Federated, from liability in violation of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the 1940 Act.

The services of Federated to the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive, and Federated may act as investment adviser or administrator for any other person, and shall not in any way be limited or restricted from buying, selling or trading any securities for its own accounts or the accounts of others for whom it may be acting, provided, however, that Federated expressly agrees that it will undertake no activities which, in its reasonable judgment, will adversely affect, in any material respect, the performance of its obligations to the Fund under this Agreement. Federated may give advice and take action in the performance of its duties with respect to any of its other clients which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Fund. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Federated, its principals, affiliates, agents or employees to purchase or sell for the Fund any security which it or they may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any other client.

21. TERM. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date executed and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

This Agreement shall continue in effect thereafter for additional periods not exceeding one year so long as such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Board of Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or (ii) the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement nor interested persons thereof, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; provided, however, that if the continuance of this Agreement is submitted to the shareholders of the Fund for their approval and such shareholders fail to approve the Agreement as provided herein, the Sub-Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder. The terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities” and “interested persons” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act, and the foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be “specifically approved at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

22. RIGHT TO USE NAME. Federated has the right to use the name “Edward Jones Money Market Fund” in connection with its services to the Fund. Further, nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, as preventing Federated or its affiliates from using Adviser’s or the Fund’s name in any response to a request for information/proposal, and Federated and its affiliates are expressly authorized to include the name of the Adviser and the Fund on representative client lists.

23. TERMINATION; ASSIGNMENT.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated with respect to Sub-Adviser, Sub-Administrator, or both: (i) by the Adviser or the Fund, by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund at any time without payment of any penalty, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Federated; and (ii) by Federated upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser and the Fund. In the event of a termination of all or either the sub-advisory services or sub-administrative services under this Agreement, Federated shall cooperate in the orderly transfer of the Fund’s affairs and, at the request of the Adviser or the Fund, transfer, at the Adviser’s expense, any and all books and records of the Fund maintained by the Sub-Adviser and/or Sub-Administrator, as applicable, on behalf of the Fund.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment or in the event of a termination of the Investment Management and Administration Agreement. The term “assignment” shall have the meaning set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the SEC under the 1940 Act.

(c) In the event of a termination, Sub-Adviser or Sub-Administrator (as applicable) shall cease all activity on behalf of the Fund, except as expressly directed by Adviser in connection with the completion or transition of services, and, as applicable, except for the settlement of securities transactions already entered into for the account of the Fund.

(d) Termination of this Agreement (in whole or in part) shall not relieve Adviser or Federated of any liability incurred hereunder for acts or omissions taken or made prior to termination.

(e) Sections 19 and 25 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

24. BOOKS AND RECORDS. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, Federated hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund copies of any of such records upon the Fund’s request, provided, however, that Federated may retain copies of any records to the extent required for it to comply with applicable laws. Any such records maintained will be bound by the confidentiality obligations within Section 25 of this Agreement for as long as the records are maintained. Federated further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records relating to its activities hereunder required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and to preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder required by Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act for the period specified in said Rule.

25. CONFIDENTIALITY; NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION. Adviser and Federated each agree to keep confidential any nonpublic information concerning the other party and will not use or disclose such information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, unless the non-disclosing party has authorized such disclosure or if such disclosure is compelled by subpoena or is expressly required or requested by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities. Nonpublic information shall not include information a party to this Agreement can clearly establish was (a) known to the party prior to this Agreement; (b) rightfully acquired by the party from third parties whom the party reasonably believes are not under an obligation of confidentiality to the other party to this Agreement; (c) placed in the public domain without fault of the party or its affiliates; or (d) independently developed by the party without reference or reliance upon the nonpublic information.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Federated agrees on behalf of itself and its managers, members, officers, and employees to (1) treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Fund (a) all records and other information relative to the Fund’s prior, present, or potential shareholders (and clients of said shareholders) and (b) in accordance with SEC Regulation S-P (“Regulation S-P”), any nonpublic personal information, promulgated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “G-L-B Act”); and (2) except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Fund, not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, or as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-P or the G-L-B Act. Such written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Fund and may not be withheld where Federated may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt or other proceedings for failure to comply after being requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities.

26. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE. Federated acknowledges that, in compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, the USA PATRIOT Act, and any implementing regulations thereunder (together, “AML Laws”), the Fund has adopted an Anti-Money Laundering Policy. Federated agrees to comply with the Fund’s Anti-Money Laundering Policy and the AML Laws, as the same may apply to Federated, now and in the future; provided, however, that Federated shall not be liable in respect of any failure by it to comply with changes to the Fund’s Anti-Money Laundering Policy of which it has not been notified in writing by the Fund a reasonable time in advance of the effectiveness of such changes. Federated further agrees to provide to the Fund and/or the administrator such reports, certifications and contractual assurances as may be reasonably requested by the Fund and mutually agreed to by the parties. The Fund may disclose information regarding Federated to governmental and/or regulatory or self-regulatory authorities to the extent required by applicable law or regulation and may file reports with such authorities as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

27. CERTIFICATIONS; DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Federated acknowledges that, in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder, the Fund is required to make certain certifications and have adopted disclosure controls and procedures. To the extent reasonably requested by the Fund, Federated agrees to use its reasonable efforts to assist the Fund in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and implementing the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures. Federated agrees to inform the Fund of any material development related to the Fund that Federated reasonably believes is relevant to the Fund’s certification obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

28. COOPERATION WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OR OTHER ACTIONS. The parties to this Agreement each agree to cooperate in a reasonable manner with each other in the event that any of them should become involved in a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim, or suit as a result of performing its obligations under this Agreement.

29. NOTIFICATION. The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will provide prompt notice to the Adviser and the Fund about material changes in the employment status of key investment management personnel involved in the management of the Fund, material changes in the investment process used to manage the Fund, any changes in senior management, operations, financial condition or ownership of the Sub-Adviser’s firm and the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

30. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) NOTICES. Notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be deemed to be effectively delivered when actually received, and may be delivered by US mail (first class, postage prepaid), by hand or by commercial overnight delivery service, addressed as follows:

This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to this Agreement’s subject matter. In the event that this Agreement is made applicable to any additional classes or funds by way of a schedule executed subsequent to the date first indicated above, provisions of such schedule shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement as it relates to such class or fund so that, for example, the execution date for purposes of Section 21 of this Agreement with respect to such class or fund shall be the execution date of the relevant schedule. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive, discharge, supercede, limit or affect any other agreement between the Adviser and Federated, or any affiliates of any of them.

(d) ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS; NO-THIRD PARTY RIGHTS; SERVICE PROVIDERS. No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, and Section 23 of this Agreement, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and permitted assigns.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Federated may enter into arrangements with its affiliates (such as, for example, Federated Advisory Services Company) and other third party contractors (such as, for example, proxy voting services) in connection with the performance of Federated’s services and other obligations under this Agreement, including for the provision of certain personnel, services and facilities to Federated, and disclose confidential/nonpublic information to such affiliates and third parties in connection with the performance of services, provided that such arrangements comply with the 1940 Act (including, if applicable the requirements of Section 15 of the 1940 Act) and applicable privacy laws, including Regulation S-P.. Federated agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that Federated will remain responsible for any actions or omissions of such affiliates or other third-party contractors to the same extent as if Federated had taken such action or made such omission under this Agreement.

(e) AMENDMENT. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, or discharged orally, but may be changed, waived or discharged only by an instrument in writing signed by all parties and only in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

(f) CAPTIONS. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(g) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to preempt, or to be inconsistent with, any federal law, regulation or rule, including the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(h) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures on this Agreement may be communicated by electronic transmission (which shall include facsimile or email) and shall be binding upon the parties so transmitting their signatures.

(i) CONSTRUCTION. Unless otherwise expressly provided: (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms, and shall be construed to be followed by “without limitation”; (ii) the word “or” in this Agreement is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive (and should be construed, accordingly, as “and/or”); and (iii) any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days. This Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. The following terms have the meanings given to such terms under the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder: “interested persons”; “affiliated person”; “assign” or “assignment”, and “federal securities laws.”

(j) MISCELLANEOUS. Where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement is altered by a rule, regulation or order of the SEC, whether of special or general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.

FORM OF

SUB-SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Sub-Investment Subadvisory Contract(s) (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [DATE], by Federated Investment Management Company, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Subadviser”), and [INSERT NAME OF SUB-SUBADVISER], a [INSERT TYPE OF ENTITY AND JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION] (the “Sub-Subadviser”).

Contingent upon the occurrence of a business continuity planning event causing the complete or partial inability of the Subadviser to perform its duties and obligations under the Sub-Advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Subadvisory Contract”), with respect to the provision of investment subadvisory services to the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”)(a “BCP Event”), and subject to the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Temporary Delegation. The Subadviser does hereby delegate to the Sub-Subadviser the Subadviser’s duties and obligations under the Subadvisory Contract with respect to the provision of investment subadvisory services, such as is necessary to permit the Sub-Subadviser to discharge such duties and obligations during a BCP Event (the “Delegation of Authority”). The Delegation of Authority to the Sub-Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement shall initiate upon the occurrence of a BCP Event and continue in operation for the duration of the BCP Event and shall cover only such duties and obligations as the Subadviser is unable to perform. During the BCP Event, the Sub-Subadviser shall be permitted under the Delegation of Authority to exercise all authority and investment discretion vested in the Subadviser under the Subadvisory Contract to the extent necessary to perform the duties and obligations delegated to the Sub-Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the declaration of the resolution of the BCP Event by the Federated Hermes, Inc. (“Federated Hermes”) Event Response Team (the “Event Response Team”), the Delegation of Authority to the Sub-Subadviser under this Agreement shall terminate, and the duties, obligations and authority contained in the Sub-Advisory Contract shall revert back entirely to the Subadviser. For avoidance of doubt, reversion of such duties, obligations and authority to the Subadviser under such circumstances shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or to preclude a subsequent Delegation of Authority to the Sub-Subadviser under this Agreement upon the occurrence of a subsequent BCP Event. For avoidance of doubt, any such reversion to the Subadviser, or any Delegation of Authority by the Subadviser, under this Agreement will be deemed to have been made pursuant to the safe harbor from automatic termination upon assignment provided for in the provisions of each of Rule 202(a)(1)-1 (from Section 205(a)(2)) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and Rule 2a-6 (from Section 15) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

2. Occurrence of BCP Event. For purposes of this Agreement, a BCP Event and Delegation of Authority will have occurred if the Event Response Team has declared a BCP Event and sent notice to the Sub-Subadviser of a Delegation of Authority. Additionally, the Sub-Subadviser may declare a BCP Event and rely upon the Delegation of Authority to the Sub-Subadviser under this Agreement if the following conditions are met:

a) the Sub-Subadviser reasonably believes a BCP Event has occurred; and

b) the Sub-Subadviser has made reasonable attempts to contact each of the below-listed entities without success:

i. the Event Response Team; and

ii. the Subadviser.

Upon the declaration of a BCP Event by either the Event Response Team or the Sub-Subadviser pursuant to this Section 2, the Event Response Team (directly or through the Subadviser) or the Sub-Subadviser, as applicable, shall as promptly as practicable under the circumstances use reasonable attempts to provide written notice to both the Adviser (as defined below) and the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) of the occurrence of the BCP Event and the initiation and scope of the Delegation of Authority.

3. Representations of Subadviser. The Subadviser represents, warrants and agrees, throughout the term of this Agreement, that:

a) the Subadviser is a statutory trust duly established, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business;

b) the Subadviser is duly registered as an “investment adviser” under the Advisers Act;

c) the Subadviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated Hermes;

d) the Subadviser has been duly appointed by Passport Research, Ltd., the investment adviser to the Fund (the “Adviser”), on behalf of the Fund, to provide investment subadvisory services to the Fund as contemplated by the Subadvisory Contract;

e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement are within the Subadviser’s powers, have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not violate or constitute a default under any applicable law or regulation or of any decree, order, judgment, agreement or instrument binding on the Subadviser or under the Subadviser’s governing documents;

f) no consent of any applicable governmental authority or body is necessary for the Subadviser to enter into this Agreement, except for such consents as have been obtained and are in full force and effect, and all conditions of which have been duly complied with; and

g) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Subadviser.

4. Representations of the Sub-Subadviser. The Sub-Subadviser represents, warrants and agrees, throughout the term of this Agreement, that:

a) the Sub-Subadviser is a [INSERT TYPE OF ENTITY] duly established, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [INSERT JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION], and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business;

b) the Sub-Subadviser is duly registered as an “investment adviser” under the Advisers Act;

c) the Sub-Subadviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated Hermes;

d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement are within the Sub-Subadviser’s powers, have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not violate or constitute a default under any applicable law or regulation or of any decree, order, judgment, agreement or instrument binding on the Sub-Subadviser or under the Sub-Subadviser’s governing documents, as may be amended from time to time;

e) no consent of any applicable governmental authority or body is necessary for the Sub-Subadviser to enter into this Agreement, except for such consents as have been obtained and are in full force and effect, and all conditions of which have been duly complied with; and

f) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Sub-Subadviser.

5. Subadvisory Fees. As consideration for the investment subadvisory services rendered by the Sub-Subadviser under this Agreement, the Subadviser (and not the Adviser or the Fund) will pay to the Sub-Subadviser the fees received by the Subadviser for subadvisory services, with respect to the Fund, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 16 and Schedule B of the Subadvisory Contract. The fees under this Agreement shall be payable only for the duration of a BCP Event in which the Sub-Subadviser is providing investment subadvisory services pursuant to the Delegation of Authority under this Agreement. The fees received by the Subadviser with respect to the Fund at the time of, and continuing through the end of the resolution of, the BCP Event, inclusive of any waivers and/or reimbursements then in effect, will not be altered in any way as a result of this Agreement.

6. Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date executed and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of two (2) years, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall continue in effect thereafter for additional periods not exceeding one year so long as such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and (ii) in either event, the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement nor interested persons thereof, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities” and “interested persons” shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act, and the foregoing requirements that continuance of this Agreement be “specifically approved at least annually” and “in person” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1940 Act.

7. Termination; Assignment.

a) This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Adviser or the Fund, upon action by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, at any time without payment of any penalty, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Subadviser and the Sub-Subadviser; and (ii) by the Subadviser or Sub-Subadviser upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser and the Fund.

b) This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment or in the event of the termination of the Subadvisory Contract or the Investment Management and Administration Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund. The term “assignment” shall have the meaning set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the SEC under the 1940 Act.

8. Miscellaneous Provisions.

a) In the event of the occurrence of a BCP Event, if the Sub-Subadviser reasonably believes that the Subadviser has not done so, the Sub-Subadviser shall provide notice to the Board, the SEC staff, the Adviser and all relevant service providers and other third parties of the occurrence of the BCP Event and the initiation and scope of the Delegation of Authority under this Agreement as soon as is reasonably practicable.

b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Sub-Subadviser, nor any of its partners, members or employees, shall be liable to the Subadviser or the Fund for any loss resulting from the Sub-Subadviser’s acts or omissions as the Sub-Subadviser to the Fund under this Agreement, except to the extent any such losses result from bad faith, willful misfeasance, reckless disregard or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Subadviser or any of its members or employees in the performance of the Sub-Subadviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 30(d) of the Sub-Advisory Contract, the Subadviser agrees that the Subadviser will remain responsible for any actions or omissions of the Sub-Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement to the same extent as if the Subadviser had taken such action or made such omission under the Subadvisory Contract.

c) The Sub-Subadviser agrees to maintain the security and confidentiality of any nonpublic or confidential information of the Subadviser or the Fund. The Sub-Subadviser further agrees to comply with applicable privacy and information security laws in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, confidential information may be used or disclosed as necessary in connection with the performance of the Sub-Subadviser’s obligations under this Agreement with the written consent of the Subadviser or the Fund, or as otherwise expressly permitted or required under applicable law or this Agreement.

d) At any time and from time to time, each party agrees, without further consideration, to take such actions and to execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, including such documents, if any, as may be required to grant authority to the Sub-Subadviser under various service provider and other third party agreements entered into by the Fund and/or the Subadviser.

Re: Waiver Under the Distribution Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In light of the disruptions to transportation and the social-distancing guidelines, quarantines, self-isolations and full and partial office closures implemented in response to the continuing novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the declarations of states of emergency by the Federal government and state governments, and consistent with temporary exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from the requirement under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that the renewal of a distribution agreement for a registered investment company be approved at an in-person meeting of the board overseeing such registered investment company, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (the “Distributor”) and the Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), hereby waive the requirement under Section 9 of the Distribution Agreement between the Fund and the Distributor, dated January 27, 2017 (the “Agreement”), that the renewal of the Agreement for an additional one-year period ending October 2021 be approved at an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

This waiver shall apply solely to the renewal of the Agreement for the above-referenced period and shall not be construed as an amendment of such Agreement.

Please sign below to evidence your agreement with the terms stated herein.

EDWARD JONES MONEY MARKET FUND

AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING EXPENSES LIMITATION AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING EXPENSES LIMITATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is effective April 16, 2021, by and between Edward Jones Money Market Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”), and the investment adviser of the Fund, Passport Research, Ltd. (the “Adviser”).

This Agreement amends and restates the existing Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement dated January 27, 2017, by and between the Fund and the Adviser.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Adviser renders advice and services to the Fund pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Investment Management and Administration Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser dated January 27, 2017 (the “Investment Management Agreement “);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund is responsible for, and has assumed the obligation for, payment of all expenses that have not been specifically assumed by the Adviser thereunder; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to limit the Operating Expenses (as that term is defined in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement) of each class of the Fund (a “Class”) pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Fund desires to allow the Adviser to implement those limits.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties, intended to be legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:

1. Limit on Operating Expenses.

The Adviser hereby agrees to limit during the Expense Limitation Period (as that term is defined in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement) the Operating Expenses of each Class to an annual rate, expressed as a percentage of the Class’s average annual net assets, as provided under Schedule A (the “Annual Limit”) by (i) waiving all or a portion of the Adviser ‘s investment advisory fee payable pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement and (ii) to the extent such fee waiver by itself is insufficient or would cause a Class to pay a different share of the Adviser’s investment advisory fees, reimbursing the Class the portion of such Operating Expenses that is in excess of the Annual Limit for such fiscal year. To the extent that the Operating Expenses of a Class, as accrued each month, exceeds its Annual Limit accrued for such month, the Adviser will waive its investment advisory fees and, if that is insufficient or would cause the Class to pay a different share of the Adviser’s investment advisory fees, pay the Class, on a monthly basis, the amount of the accrued Operating Expenses in excess of the accrued Annual Limit within 30 days of being notified that any excess Operating Expenses payment is due.

2. Definition.

For purposes of this Agreement:

The term “Operating Expenses” means the expenses of the Class that are appropriately reflected in the Class’s “Ratio of Expenses to Average Annual Net Assets” in the Fund’s prospectus pursuant to Item 13(a) “Financial Highlights”’ of Form N-1A in accordance with Instructions 4.a and 4.b thereto, as each such Item and Instruction (including the provisions of Regulation S-X referred to in such instructions) is in effect as of the date hereof, including expenses such as, but not limited to, advisory, custodial, transfer agent and administrative fees, expense reimbursements, audit expenses, the Fund’s Board of Trustees meeting costs, legal costs for ordinary operations, costs of preparing and filing post effective amendments, annual and semiannual reports to shareholders, and any proxy materials, and printing and distributing prospectuses, statements of additional information, shareholder reports and any proxy materials for current shareholders, and other expenses that would be part of the expenses borne by a registered investment company in the ordinary course of business including any Rule 12b-1 fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees and other expenses described in the Investment Management Agreement or as determined by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, but does not include any “Acquired Fund” fees and expenses (within the meaning of Item 3 of Form N-lA in effect on the date hereof), front-end or contingent deferred loads, redemption fees, taxes, interest expense in connection with investment activities, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, brokerage fees (including commissions, mark-ups and mark-downs), annual account fees for margin accounts, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary or non-routine expenses such as litigation.

The term “Expense Limitation Period” is defined as the period of time commencing on the date first written above through the Initial Expiration Date reflected on Schedule A, and each subsequent one year period for which this Agreement automatically is renewed pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof.

3. Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses.

The Adviser retains its right to receive reimbursement of any fee waivers or excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to this Agreement under the following terms and conditions:

Any reductions made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund’s obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, in the thirty-six (36) month period following such fee waiver and/or expense payment if, taking into account the reimbursement, the aggregate amount actually paid by a Class toward the Operating Expenses, as accrued each month, does not exceed the Annual Limit on the Operating Expenses accrued for such month (i) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense payment and (ii) at the time of the reimbursement.

The Fund shall provide to the Board a quarterly report of any reimbursements paid to the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Class’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses.

The Adviser may agree not to require payment of any portion of the reimbursement of expenses otherwise due to it pursuant to this Agreement. Any such agreement shall be applicable only with respect to the specific items covered thereby and shall not constitute an agreement not to require payment of any future reimbursement due to the Adviser hereunder.

4. Term.

This Agreement shall become effective on the date first written above and shall remain in effect through the end of the Expense Limitation Period, and shall automatically renew for an additional one year period following the end of an Expense Limitation Period, unless sooner terminated as provided in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

5. Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Fund upon 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. This Agreement may not be terminated by the Adviser without the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, except that the Adviser at its election may terminate this Agreement without payment or penalty or consent effective upon the end of an Expense Limitation Period upon at least 60 days’ written notice prior to the end of the Expense Limitation Period. This Agreement will automatically terminate if the Investment Management Agreement is terminated, with such termination effective upon the effective date of the Investment Management Agreement’s termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect any obligation of a party that has accrued or is outstanding prior to such termination.

6. Amendment.

Any amendment to this Agreement must be approved by mutual written consent of the parties, including the consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

7. No Shareholder Vote.

For purposes of clarity, the parties acknowledge that a vote of the shareholders of the Fund is not required to amend or terminate this Agreement.

8. Assignment.

This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the written consent of the other party.

9. Interpretation.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Fund to take any action contrary to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws, each as in effect from time to time, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement, including without limitation any requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Fund’s Board of Trustees of its responsibility for or control of the conduct of the affairs of the Fund.

10. Definitions.

Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from the terms and provisions of the Investment Management Agreement or the 1940 Act, shall have the same meaning as and be resolved by reference to the Investment Management Agreement.

11. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute or rule, or shall be otherwise rendered invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

12. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to preempt, or to be inconsistent with, any federal law, regulation or rule, including the 1940 Act, as amended, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

13. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, including its appendices and schedules (each of which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof by these references), represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto, and shall supersede any prior agreements.

Re: Voluntary Fee Waiver

To Whom it May Concern:

This letter sets forth the terms under which Federated Investment Management Company (“FIMC”) and Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”) (FIMC and FAS collectively, “Federated”) will voluntarily waive a portion of the aggregate annual fee (the “Fee”) earned by Federated pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory and Sub-Administration Agreement dated July 16,^,2020 (the “Agreement”) among FIMC, FAS, Edward Jones Money Market Fund (solely for purposes of the payment of compensation pursuant to the Agreement) (the “Fund”) and Passport Research, Ltd. (the “Adviser”).

As set forth in the Agreement, the monthly Fee is accrued daily and paid on the first business day of the succeeding month at an annual rate of 4 basis points (bps) (0.04%) on the average daily net asset value of the Fund. In order to assist the Adviser in its efforts to maintain a positive distribution yield of 1bp for the Fund during the current low yield environment, effective as of April 1, 2021, Federated agrees to waive its present and future entitlement to a portion of the Fee as described below:

•

On a daily basis, the Fund records Advisory, 12b-1, Shareholder Servicing and Transfer Agent fee waivers (“Cumulative Fee Waiver”) to ensure a 1bp distribution yield to shareholders.

•

The Adviser will provide Federated monthly reporting reflecting a daily distribution yield of 1bp and a report outlining the Cumulative Fee Waiver incurred by the Adviser, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“EDJ”) and Federated.

•

The allocation of any fee waiver to Federated will be determined on a monthly basis but only after the Adviser has waived and/or reimbursed all of its advisory fees and EDJ has waived and/or reimbursed all of its 12b-1 fees, Shareholder Servicing fees and Transfer Agent fees.

•

If the monthly Cumulative Fee Waiver amount is greater than the fees earned by the Adviser and EDJ, then the remaining amount of fee waivers will be borne by Federated, subject to a maximum waiver cap of 3bps on the average daily net asset value of the Fund.

Example 1: If the monthly Cumulative Fee Waiver is $1M and the combined Adviser and EDJ fee revenue is $1.1M, then the Adviser and EDJ will be responsible for the entire Cumulative Fee Waiver amount of $1M

Example 2: If the monthly Cumulative Fee Waiver is $1M and the combined Adviser and EDJ fee revenue is $900K, then the Adviser and EDJ will be responsible for $900K of the Cumulative Fee Waiver amount, and Federated will be responsible for the remainder Cumulative Fee Waiver amount of $100k, subject to a maximum waiver cap of 3bps on the average daily net asset value of the Fund.

Federated agrees to maintain the voluntary Fee waiver until (i) the Federal Reserve raises the Federal funds interest rate to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, at which point the voluntary waiver shall terminate; or (ii) such earlier date that the parties agree in writing to terminate or renegotiate the terms of the voluntary waiver.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Agreement remains in full force and effect without any modification, amendment or change.

Please confirm your acknowledgement and agreement with the terms of this letter by signing below.

Re:	Opinion of Counsel regarding Post-Effective Amendment No. 77 to the Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-66437)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), a Massachusetts voluntary association (commonly known as a business trust), in connection with the above-referenced registration statement (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which relates to the Fund’s units of beneficial interest, with no par value per share (collectively, the “Shares”). This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the Fund’s filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 77 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, copies of the following documents:

(a)

a certificate of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts certifying that the Fund is validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;

(b)

the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust for the Fund and all amendments thereto (the “Declaration of Trust”) and the Amended and Restated By-Laws for the Fund and all amendments thereto (the “By-Laws”);

(c)

a certificate executed by Scott K. Richardson, the Secretary of the Fund, certifying as to, and attaching copies of, the Fund’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, and certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund authorizing the issuance of the Shares of the Fund; and

(d)

a printer’s proof of the Amendment.

In our capacity as counsel to the Fund, we have examined the originals, or certified, conformed or reproduced copies, of all records, agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all original or certified copies, and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduced copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to such opinion, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, certificates and oral or written statements of public officials and officers and representatives of the Fund. We have assumed that the Amendment, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will be in substantially the form of the printer’s proof referred to in paragraph (d) above.

Based upon, and subject to, the limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of purchase described in the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except that, as set forth in the Registration Statement, shareholders of the Fund may under certain circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not concede that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act.


Very truly yours,

/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
