(c) Upon receipt of the notification required under paragraph (a)
hereof and the notification from the Custodian that such money
has been received by it, the Transfer Agent shall issue to the
purchaser or his authorized agent such Shares as he is
entitled to receive, based on the appropriate net asset value
of the Fund's Shares, determined in accordance with applicable
federal law or regulation, as described in the Prospectus for
the Fund. In issuing Shares to a purchaser or his authorized
agent, the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the
latest written directions, if any, previously received by the
Transfer Agent from the purchaser or his authorized agent
concerning the delivery of such Shares.
(d) The Transfer Agent shall not be required to issue any Shares
of the Fund where it has received Written Instructions from
the Fund or written notification from any appropriate federal
or state authority that the sale of the Shares of the Fund
has been suspended or discontinued, and the Transfer Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon such Written Instructions or
written notification.
(e) Upon the issuance of any Shares of the Fund in accordance with
the foregoing provision of this Article, the Transfer Agent
shall not be responsible for the payment of any original issue
or other taxes required to be paid by the Fund in connection
with such issuance.
9. Returned Checks. In the event that any check or other order for the
payment of money is returned unpaid for any reason, the Transfer
Agent will: (i) give prompt notice of such return to the Fund or its
designee; (ii) place a stop transfer order against all Shares issued
or held on deposit as a result of such check or order; (iii) in the
case of any Shareholder who has obtained redemption checks, place a
stop payment order on the checking account on which such checks are
issued; and (iv) take such other steps as the Transfer Agent may, in
its discretion, deem appropriate or as the Fund or its designee may
instruct.
10. Redemptions.
(a) Redemptions By Mail or In Person. Shares of the Fund will be
redeemed upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of: (i) a written
request for redemption, signed by each registered owner
exactly as the Shares are registered; (ii) certificates
properly endorsed for any Shares for which certificates have
been issued; (iii) signature guarantees to the extent required
by the Transfer Agent as described in the Prospectus for the
Fund; and (iv) any additional documents required by the
Transfer Agent for redemption by corporations, executors,
administrators, trustees and guardians.
(b) Wire Orders or Telephone Redemptions. The Transfer Agent will,
consistent with procedures which may be established by the
Fund from time to time for redemption by wire or telephone,
upon receipt of such a wire order or telephone redemption
request, redeem Shares and transmit the proceeds of such
redemption to the redeeming Shareholder as directed. All wire
or telephone redemptions will be subject to such additional
requirements as may be described in the Prospectus for the
Fund. Both the Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the right
to modify or terminate the procedures for wire order or
telephone redemptions at any time.
(c) Processing Redemptions. Upon receipt of all necessary
information and documentation relating to a redemption, the
Transfer Agent will issue to the Custodian an advice setting
forth the number of Shares of the Fund received by the
Transfer Agent for redemption and that such shares are valid
and in good form for redemption. The Transfer Agent shall,
upon receipt of the moneys paid to it by the Custodian for the
redemption of Shares, pay such moneys to the Shareholder, his
authorized agent or legal representative.
11. Transfers and Exchanges. The Transfer Agent is authorized to review
and process transfers of Shares of the Fund and to the extent, if
any, permitted in the Prospectus for the Fund, exchanges between
the Fund and other mutual funds advised by INVESCO Funds Group,
Inc., on the records of the Fund maintained by the Transfer Agent.
If Shares to be transferred are represented by outstanding
certificates, the Transfer Agent will, upon surrender to it of the
certificates in proper form for transfer, and upon cancellation
thereof, countersign and issue new certificates for a like number
of Shares and deliver the same. If the Shares to be transferred are
not represented by outstanding certificates, the Transfer Agent
will, upon an order therefor by or on behalf of the registered
holder thereof in proper form, credit the same to the transferee on
its books. If Shares are to be exchanged for Shares of another
mutual fund, the Transfer Agent will process such exchange in the
same manner as a redemption and sale of Shares, except that it may
in its discretion waive requirements for information and
documentation.
12. Right to Seek Assurances. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to
refuse to transfer or redeem Shares until it is satisfied that the
requested transfer or redemption is legally authorized, and it shall
incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers
or redemptions which the Transfer Agent, in its judgment, deems
improper or unauthorized, or until it is satisfied that there is no
basis for any claims adverse to such transfer or redemption. The
Transfer Agent may, in effecting transfers, rely upon the provisions
of the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security
Transfers or the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended
from time to time, which in the opinion of legal counsel for the
Fund or of its own legal counsel protect it in not requiring certain
documents in connection with the transfer or redemption of Shares of
the Fund, and the Fund shall indemnify the Transfer Agent for any
act done or omitted by it in reliance upon such laws or opinions of
counsel to the Fund or of its own counsel.
13. Distributions.
(a) The Fund will promptly notify the Transfer Agent of the
declaration of any dividend or distribution. The Fund shall
furnish to the Transfer Agent a resolution of the board of
directors of the Fund certified by the Secretary authorizing
the declaration of dividends and authorizing the Transfer
Agent to rely on Oral Instructions or a Certificate specifying
the date of the declaration of such dividend or distribution,
the date of payment thereof, the record date as of which
Shareholders entitled to payment shall be determined, the
amount payable per share to Shareholders of record as of that
date, and the total amount payable to the Transfer Agent on
the payment date.
(b) The Transfer Agent will, on or before the payable date of any
dividend or distribution, notify the Custodian of the
estimated amount of cash required to pay said dividend or
distribution, and the Fund agrees that, on or before the
mailing date of such dividend or distribution, it shall
instruct the Custodian to place in a dividend disbursing
account funds equal to the cash amount to be paid out. The
Transfer Agent, in accordance with Shareholder instructions,
will calculate, prepare and mail checks to, or (where
appropriate) credit such dividend or distribution to the
account of, Fund Shareholders, and maintain and safeguard all
underlying records.
(c) The Transfer Agent will replace lost checks upon receipt of
properly executed affidavits and maintain stop payment orders
against replaced checks.
(d) The Transfer Agent will maintain all records necessary to
reflect the crediting of dividends which are reinvested in
Shares of the Fund.
(e) The Transfer Agent shall not be liable for any improper
payments made in accordance with the resolution of the board
of directors of the Fund.
(f) If the Transfer Agent shall not receive from the Custodian
sufficient cash to make payment to all Shareholders of the
Fund as of the record date, the Transfer Agent shall, upon
notifying the Fund, withhold payment to all Shareholders of
record as of the record date until such sufficient cash is
provided to the Transfer Agent.
14. Other Duties. In addition to the duties expressly provided for
herein, the Transfer Agent shall perform such other duties and
functions as are set forth in the Fee Schedules(s) hereto from
time to time.
15. Taxes. It is understood that the Transfer Agent shall file such
appropriate information returns concerning the payment of dividends
and capital gain distributions with the proper federal, state and
local authorities as are required by law to be filed by the Fund and
shall withhold such sums as are required to be withheld by
applicable law.

investor's account the following: (i) names, addresses, tax
identifying numbers and assigned account numbers; (ii) numbers

case of a foreign account; (vi) any capital gain or dividend
reinvestment order, plan application, dividend address and
correspondence relating to the current maintenance of a
Shareholder's account; (vii) certificate numbers and
denominations for any Shareholders holding certificates; and
(viii) any information required in order for the Transfer
Agent to perform the calculations contemplated or required by
this Agreement.
(b) Any records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the
1940 Act will be preserved for the periods prescribed in Rule
31a-2 under the 1940 Act. Such records may be inspected by the
Fund at reasonable times. The Transfer Agent may, at its
option at any time, and shall forthwith upon the Fund's
demand, turn over to the Fund and cease to retain in the
Transfer Agent's files, records and documents created and
maintained by the Transfer Agent in performance of its
services or for its protection. At the end of the six-year
retention period, such records and documents will either be
turned over to the Fund, or destroyed in accordance with the
Fund's authorization.

related to Shareholder accounts and respond promptly to
correspondence from Shareholders.

Fund Shares to be voted at meetings.

countersignature of the Transfer Agent.

Person of the Fund for Written Instructions, and, at the
