                                    EXHIBIT A

      Except as set forth below, the  preferences,  conversion and other rights,
voting powers,  restrictions,  limitations as to dividends,  qualifications  and
terms or conditions of redemption shall be as set forth in the provisions of the
charter of the  Corporation  relating to the shares of stock of the  Corporation
generally.  In addition,  all INVESCO  Advantage Fund - Class B shares ("Class B
Shares")  of stock of the  Corporation  shall  have the  following  preferences,
conversion  and other rights,  voting  powers,  restrictions,  limitations as to
dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption:

            (1) Subject to the  provisions of paragraph  (3) below,  all Class B
            Shares  other than  those  purchased  through  the  reinvestment  of
            dividends and distributions shall  automatically  convert to Class A
            Shares of the same series  ("Class A Shares")  eight (8) years after
            the end of the  calendar  month  in which a  stockholder's  order to
            purchase such shares was accepted.

            (2) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (3) below, Class B Shares
            purchased  through the  reinvestment of dividends and  distributions
            paid in  respect  of Class B  Shares  will be  considered  held in a
            separate  sub-account,  and will  automatically  convert  to Class A
            Shares  in the same  proportion  and on the same date as any Class B
            Shares  (other  than  those in the  sub-account)  convert to Class A
            Shares.  Other  than  this  conversion  feature,  the Class B Shares
            purchased  through the  reinvestment of dividends and  distributions
            paid in  respect of Class B Shares  shall have all the  preferences,
            conversion   and  other   rights,   voting   powers,   restrictions,
            limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions
            of redemption of Class B Shares generally.

            (3) If (1) the Class A shareholders  of a series of the  Corporation
            approve any increase in expenses  allocated to the Class A Shares of
            that series in connection  with (A) a plan of  distribution  adopted
            pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
            amended,  (B) a non-Rule 12b-1 stockholder services plan, or (C) any
            other  plan or  arrangement  whereby  classes  of that  series pay a
            different  share  of  other  expenses,  not  including  advisory  or
            custodial  fees or other  expenses  related to the management of the
            Company's  assets,  then (2) the Class B Shares of that  series will
            stop   converting   to  the  Class  A  Shares  unless  the  Class  B
            shareholders of that series, voting separately, approve the increase
            in expenses.  The Board of Directors  shall have sole  discretion in
            determining whether such increase in expenses is submitted to a vote
            of the holders of Class B Shares.  Should such  increase in expenses
<PAGE>
            not be  submitted  to a vote of the holders of Class B shares or, if
            submitted, should the holders of Class B Shares fail to approve such
            increase in expenses,  the Board of Directors shall take such action
            as is  necessary  to:  (A)  create a new  class  (the  "New  Class A
            Shares")  which shall be identical  in all material  respects to the
            Class  A  Shares  of  that  series  as  they  existed  prior  to the
            implementation of the increase in expenses;  and (B) ensure that the
            existing  Class  B  Shares  of that  series  will  be  exchanged  or
            converted  into New Class A Shares no later than the date such Class
            B Shares  were  scheduled  to convert  to Class A Shares.  If deemed
            advisable by the Board of Directors to implement the foregoing,  and
            at the sole  discretion of the Board of  Directors,  such action may
            include the  exchange of all Class B Shares of that series for a new
            class of that series (the "New Class B  Shares"),  identical  in all
            material  respects to the Class B Shares of that series  except that
            the New Class B Shares will automatically convert into the New Class
            A Shares.  Such  exchanges  or  conversions  shall be  effected in a
            manner that the Board of Directors  reasonably  believes will not be
            subject to federal taxation.
