<PAGE>
Agent will notify the respective Fund, or its designee, and
the Custodian of all purchases and related account
adjustments.
(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 applicable Fund. In issuing Shares to a

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 a Fund where it has received Written Instructions from the

be entitled to rely upon such Written Instructions or written
notification.
(e) Upon the issuance of any Shares of a 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
applicable 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 applicable Fund or its designee may
instruct.
10. Redemptions.
(a) Redemptions By Mail or In Person. Shares of a 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 or Statement of Additional Information (the
"SAI")for the Fund; and (iv) any additional documents required
by the Transfer Agent for redemption by corporations,
<PAGE>
executors, administrators, trustees and guardians.
(b) Draft Redemptions. If the Transfer Agent has received
a completed application and authorization of redemption
by drafts signed by the registered owner(s), the Transfer
Agent will, as agent for the Shareholder upon receipt
of a redemption draft cause the Company to redeem a
sufficient number of Shares in the Shareholder's account to
cover the amount of the draft. All draft redemptions will be
subject to such additional requirements as may be described
in the Prospectus or SAI for the applicable Fund and the
rules and regulations of the Transfer Agent.
(c) Wire Orders or Telephone Redemptions. The Transfer
Agent will, consistent with procedures which may be
established by the Company 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 or SAI for the applicable Fund.
Both the Company and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to
modify or terminate the procedures for wire order or telephone
redemptions at any time.
(d) 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 standing for redemption. The Transfer
Agent shall, upon receipt of the moneys paid to it by the
Custodian for the redemption of such 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 or SAI for each Fund,
exchanges between a Fund and other Funds advised by the Fund's
investment adviser, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (the "Adviser"),
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, credit the same to the transferee on its
books. 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
<PAGE>
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 that 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 Company or of the
Transfer Agent's own legal counsel protect the Transfer Agent 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 acts 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) Each Fund will promptly notify the Transfer Agent of the
declaration of any dividend or distribution. The Company
shall furnish to the Transfer Agent a resolution of the
Directors, 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 respective 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 accounts of Shareholders of the
applicable Fund, 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.
<PAGE>
(d) The Transfer Agent will maintain all records necessary to
reflect the crediting of dividends that are reinvested in
Shares of the Fund of the Company.
(e) The Transfer Agent shall not be liable for any improper
payments made in accordance with the resolution of the
Directors of the Company.
(f) If the Transfer Agent shall not receive from the Custodian
sufficient cash to make payment to all Shareholders of a Fund
as of the record date, the Transfer Agent shall, upon
notifying the Fund, withhold payment to the Fund's
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 each Company
and shall withhold such sums as are required to be withheld by
applicable law.

investor's account, identified by each Fund in each Company,
the following: (i) names, addresses, tax identifying
numbers and assigned account numbers; (ii) numbers of Shares
held; (iii) historical information regarding the account of
each Shareholder, including dividends paid and date and price
of all transactions on a Shareholder's account; (iv) any

account; (v) information with respect to withholdings in the
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 any Fund at reasonable times. The Transfer Agent may, at
its option at any time, and shall forthwith upon a Company's
<PAGE>
demand, turn over to the applicable Company 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 Company, or
destroyed in accordance with the Company's authorization.
(c) The Transfer Agent shall enter into and maintain in effect
with appropriate parties one or more agreements making
reasonable provisions for periodic backup of computer
files and data with respect to the Funds and emergency use
of electronic data processing equipment. In the event of
equipment failures, the Transfer Agent shall, at no
additional expense to the Funds, take reasonable steps to
minimize service interruptions. The Transfer Agent shall
have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service
interruptions caused by equipment failure, provided such loss
or interruption is not caused by the Transfer Agent's own
willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless
disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement
and provided further that the Transfer Agent has complied with
the provisions of this paragraph.
17. Shareholder Relations.
(a) The Transfer Agent will investigate all Shareholder inquiries
related to Shareholder accounts and respond promptly to
correspondence from Shareholders.
(b) The Transfer Agent will address and mail all communications to
Shareholders or their nominees, including proxy material and
periodic reports to Shareholders.
(c) In connection with special and annual meetings of
Shareholders, the Transfer Agent will prepare Shareholder
lists, mail and certify as to the mailing of proxy materials,
process and tabulate returned proxy cards, report on proxies
voted prior to meetings, and certify to the Secretary of the
applicable Company's Shares to be voted at meetings.
18. Reliance by Transfer Agent; Instructions.
(a) The Transfer Agent shall be protected in acting upon
any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed by an Authorized Person and shall not be
held to have any notice of any change of authority of any
person until receipt of written certification thereof from
the Fund. It shall also be protected in processing
Share certificates that it reasonably believes to bear the
proper manual or facsimile signatures of the officers of
the applicable Company and the proper countersignature of
the Transfer Agent.
<PAGE>
(b) At any time the Transfer Agent may apply to any Authorized
Person of the Company for Written Instructions, and, at the
expense of the applicable Company, may seek advice from legal
counsel for the Company, with respect to any matter arising
in connection with this Agreement, and it shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken or suffered by it in good
faith in accordance with such Written Instructions or with the
opinion of such counsel. In addition, the Transfer Agent,
its officers, agents or employees, shall accept
instructions or requests given to them by any person
representing or acting on behalf of the Company only if
said representative is known by the Transfer Agent, its
officers, agents or employees, to be an Authorized Person.

inquire into, nor shall the Transfer Agent be responsible
for, the legality of any act done by it upon the request or
direction of Authorized Persons of the Company.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall be under no duty or
obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for:

Fund, or the sufficiency of the amount to be received
therefor; (ii) the legality of the redemption of any Shares
of any Fund, or the propriety of the amount to be paid
therefor; (iii) the legality of the declaration of any
dividend by any Fund, or the legality of the issue of any

the legality of any recapitalization or readjustment of
the Shares of any Fund.
19. Standard of Care and Indemnification.
(a) The Transfer Agent may, in connection with this Agreement,
employ agents or attorneys in fact, and shall not be liable
for any loss arising out of or in connection with its actions
under this Agreement so long as it acts in good faith and with
due diligence, and is not negligent or guilty of any willful
misconduct.
(b) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Transfer Agent from and against any and all claims,
demands, expenses and liabilities (whether with or
without basis in fact or law) of any and every nature which
the Transfer Agent may sustain or incur or which may be
asserted against the Transfer Agent by any person by reason
of, or as a result of: (i) any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith in reliance upon any
