EX-99.77E LEGAL 3 ex77e.txt EXHIBIT SUB-ITEM 77E INVESCO VAN KAMPEN EXCHANGE FUND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS SETTLED ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO MARKET TIMING On October 8, 2004, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco), successor by merger to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. and INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (IFG), both former investment advisers, along with Invesco Aim Distributors, n/k/a Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the AIM Funds (n/k/a the Invesco Funds), including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) was created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, Invesco and Invesco Distributors created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by Invesco, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlement. The methodology of the fair funds distributions was determined by Invesco's independent distribution consultant (IDC Plan), in consultation with Invesco and the independent trustees of the Invesco Funds, and approved by the SEC on May 23, 2008. The IDC Plan provides for distribution to all eligible investors, for the periods spanning January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003 (for the IFG Fair Fund) and January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2003 (for the AIM Fair Fund), their proportionate share of the applicable Fair Fund to compensate such investors for injury they may have suffered as a result of market timing in the affected funds. The IDC Plan includes a provision for any residual amounts in the Fair Funds to be distributed in the future to the affected funds. Further details regarding the IDC Plan and distributions thereunder are available on Invesco's Web site, available at http://www.invesco.com/us. At the present time, management of Invesco and the Invesco Funds are unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of the Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries described herein may have on Invesco, Invesco Distributors or the Invesco Funds. Pending Regulatory Action Alleging Market Timing On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor - Securities Commission (WVASC) issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to Invesco and Invesco Distributors (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that Invesco and Invesco Distributors entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the Invesco Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that Invesco and Invesco Distributors violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders Invesco and Invesco Distributors to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an "administrative assessment," to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, Invesco's time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended. Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain Invesco Funds, IFG, Invesco, Invesco Aim Management Group, Inc., n/k/a Invesco Management Group, Inc. and certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain unrelated third parties) based on 1 allegations of improper market timing and related activity in the Invesco Funds. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; injunctive relief; disgorgement of management fees; imposition of a constructive trust; removal of certain directors and/or employees; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading, and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the MDL Court) for consolidated or coordinated pre-trial proceedings. Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various Invesco - and IFG-related parties. The parties in the amended complaints have agreed in principle to settle the actions. A list identifying the amended complaints in the MDL Court and details of the settlements are discussed below. - RICHARD LEPERA, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED (LEAD PLAINTIFF: CITY OF CHICAGO DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN), V. INVESCO FUNDS GROUP, INC., ET AL, in the MDL Court (Case No. 04-MD-15864; No. 04-CV-00814-JFM) (originally in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado), filed on September 29, 2004. - CYNTHIA ESSENMACHER, ET AL., Derivatively on Behalf of the Mutual Funds, Trusts and Corporations Comprising the Invesco and AIM Family of Mutual Funds v. AMVESCAP, PLC, ET AL., in the MDL Court (Case No. 04-MD-15864-FPS; No. 04-819), filed on September 29, 2004. - MIRIAM CALDERON, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, V. AVZ, INC., ET AL., in the MDL Court (Case No. 1:04-MD-15864-FPS), filed on September 29, 2004. On March 1, 2006, the MDL Court dismissed all derivative causes of action in the Essenmacher lawsuit but two: (i) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act); and (ii) the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act, and all claims asserted in the Lepera class action lawsuit but three: (i) the securities fraud claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (ii) the excessive fee claim under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (which survived only insofar as plaintiffs seek recovery of fees associated with the assets involved in market timing); and (iii) the "control person liability" claim under Section 48 of the 1940 Act. On June 14, 2006, the MDL Court entered an order dismissing the Section 48 claim in the derivative (Essenmacher) lawsuit. Based on the MDL Court's March 1, 2006 and June 14, 2006 orders, all claims asserted against the Funds that were transferred to the MDL Court were dismissed, although certain Funds remain nominal defendants in the derivative (Essenmacher) lawsuit. On January 5, 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle both the class action (Lepera) and the derivative (Essenmacher) lawsuits, subject to the MDL Court approval. Individual class members have the right to object. On September 15, 2006, Judge Motz for the MDL Court granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss the ERISA (Calderon) lawsuit and dismissed such lawsuit. The Plaintiff appealed this decision. On June 16, 2008, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal and remanded this lawsuit back to the MDL Court for further proceedings. On December 15, 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this lawsuit, subject to the MDL Court approval. Individual class members have the right to object. No payments are required under the settlement; however, the parties agreed that certain limited changes to benefit plans and participants' accounts would be made. 2 More detailed information regarding each of the civil lawsuits identified above, including the parties to the lawsuits and summaries of the various allegations and remedies sought, can be found in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. 3 EX-99.77K CHNG ACCNT 4 ex77k.txt EXHIBIT SUB-ITEM 77K CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT INVESCO VAN KAMPEN EXCHANGE FUND The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Prior to May 31, 2010, the fund was audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the "Prior Auditor"). The Board of Trustees selected a new independent auditor for the Fund's current fiscal year in connection with the appointment of Invesco Advisers as investment adviser to the Fund ("New Advisory Agreement"). Effective June 1, 2010, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Fund. The Prior Auditor's report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report. (Letter dated August 24, 2010 from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached as Attachment A to this exhibit.) ATTACHMENT A August 24, 2010 Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows: 1. Appointment. The Adviser hereby appoints each Sub-Adviser as a sub-adviser of the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth herein. Each Sub-Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided. 2. Duties as Sub-Adviser. Subject to paragraph 7 below, the Adviser may, in its discretion, appoint each Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Fund. The services and the portion of the investments of the Fund to be advised or managed by each Sub-Adviser shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. Each Sub-Adviser shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of such Sub-Adviser performing services for the Fund related to research, statistical and investment activities. (a) Investment Advice. If and to the extent requested by the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser shall provide investment advice to the Fund and the Adviser with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Fund or with respect to various investment techniques, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Fund and the Adviser with such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Adviser may reasonably require. (b) Order Execution. If and to the extent requested by the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser shall place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities or other investments for the Fund. In so doing, each Sub-Adviser agrees that it shall comply with paragraph 3 below. (c) Discretionary Investment Management. If and to the extent requested by the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Managing General Partners (the "Board") and the Adviser, manage all or a portion of the investments of the Fund in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and limitations provided in the Fund's Registration Statement and such other limitations as the Fund or the Adviser may impose with respect to the Fund by notice to the applicable Sub-Adviser(s) and otherwise in accordance with paragraph 5 below. With respect to the portion of the investments of the Fund under its management, each Sub-Adviser is authorized to: (i) make investment decisions on behalf of the Fund with regard to any stock, bond, other security or investment instrument, including but not limited to foreign currencies, futures, options and other derivatives, and with regard to borrowing money; (ii) place orders for the purchase and sale of securities or other investment instruments with such brokers and dealers as the Sub-Adviser may select; and (iii) upon the request of the Adviser, provide additional investment management services to the Fund, including but not limited to managing the Fund's cash and cash equivalents and lending securities on behalf of the Fund. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute trades for the Fund, each Sub-Adviser will comply with its written policies and procedures regarding brokerage and trading, which policies and procedures shall have been approved by the Board. All discretionary investment management and any other activities of each Sub-Adviser shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Adviser and the Board. 3. Broker-Dealer Relationships. Each Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers and dealers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution. Consistent with this obligation, each Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who sell shares of the Fund or provide the Fund, the Adviser's other clients, or a Sub-Adviser's other clients with research, analysis, advice and similar services. Each Sub-Adviser may pay to brokers and dealers, in return for such research and analysis, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, subject to such Sub-Adviser determining in good faith that such commission or spread is reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of the Adviser and such Sub-Adviser to the Fund and their other clients and that the total commissions or spreads paid by the Fund will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to a Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and any exemptive orders currently in effect. Whenever a Sub-Adviser simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of the Fund and one or more other accounts advised by such Sub-Adviser, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account. 4. Books and Records. Each Sub-Adviser will maintain all required books and records with respect to the securities transactions of the Fund, and will furnish the Board and the Adviser with such periodic and special reports as the Board or the Adviser reasonably may request. Each Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Adviser are the property of the Adviser, and agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by applicable law any records which it maintains for the Adviser and which are required to be maintained, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Adviser any records which it maintains for the Adviser upon request by the Adviser. 5. Further Duties. (a) In all matters relating to the performance of this Contract, each Sub-Adviser will act in conformity with the Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, By-Laws and Registration Statement of the Fund and with the instructions and directions of the Adviser and the Board and will comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the rules, regulations, exemptive orders and no-action positions thereunder, and all other applicable laws and regulations. (b) Each Sub-Adviser shall maintain compliance procedures for the Fund that it and the Adviser reasonably believe are adequate to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws (as defined in Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act) and the investment objective(s) and policies as stated in the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information. Each Sub-Adviser at its expense will provide the Adviser or the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer with such compliance reports relating to its duties under this Contract as may be requested from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Sub-Adviser will promptly report to the Adviser any material violations of the federal securities laws (as defined in Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act) that it is or should be aware of or of any material violation of the Sub-Adviser's compliance policies and procedures that pertain to the Fund. (c) Each Sub-Adviser at its expense will make available to the Board and the Adviser at reasonable times its portfolio managers and other appropriate personnel, either in person or, at the mutual convenience of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, by telephone, in order to review the investment policies, performance and other investment related information regarding the Fund and to consult with the Board and the Adviser regarding the Fund's investment affairs, including economic, statistical and investment matters related to the Sub-Adviser's duties hereunder, and will provide periodic reports to the Adviser relating to the investment strategies it employs. Each Sub-Adviser and its personnel shall also cooperate fully with counsel and auditors for, and the Chief Compliance Officer of, the Adviser and the Fund. (d) Each Sub-Adviser will assist in the fair valuation of portfolio securities held by the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will use its reasonable efforts to provide, based upon its own expertise, and to arrange with parties independent of the Sub-Adviser such as broker-dealers for the provision of, valuation information or prices for securities for which prices are deemed by the Adviser or the Fund's administrator not to be readily available in the ordinary course of business from an automated pricing service. In addition, each Sub-Adviser will assist the Fund and its agents in determining whether prices obtained for valuation purposes accurately reflect market price information relating to the assets of the Fund at such times as the Adviser shall reasonably request, including but not limited to, the hours after the close of a securities market and prior to the daily determination of the Fund's net asset value per share. (e) Each Sub-Adviser represents and warrants that it has adopted a code of ethics meeting the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and has provided the Adviser and the Board a copy of such code of ethics, together with evidence of its adoption, and will promptly provide copies of any changes thereto, together with evidence of their adoption. Upon request of the Adviser, but in any event no less frequently than annually, each Sub-Adviser will supply the Adviser a written report that (A) describes any issues arising under the code of ethics or procedures since the Sub-Adviser's last report, including but not limited to material violations of the code of ethics or procedures and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and (B) certifies that the procedures contained in the Sub-Adviser's code of ethics are reasonably designed to prevent "access persons" from violating the code of ethics. (f) Upon request of the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser will review draft reports to shareholders and other documents provided or available to it and provide comments on a timely basis. In addition, each Sub-Adviser and each officer and portfolio manager thereof designated by the Adviser will provide on a timely basis such certifications or sub-certifications as the Adviser may reasonably request in order to support and facilitate certifications required to be provided by the Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and will adopt such disclosure controls and procedures in support of the disclosure controls and procedures adopted by the Fund as the Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, deems are reasonably necessary. (g) Unless otherwise directed by the Adviser or the Board, each Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies received in accordance with the Adviser's proxy voting policy or, if the Sub-Adviser has a proxy voting policy approved by the Board, the Sub-Adviser's proxy voting policy. Each Sub-Adviser shall maintain and shall forward to the Fund or its designated agent such proxy voting information as is necessary for the Fund to timely file proxy voting results in accordance with Rule 30b1-4 of the 1940 Act. (h) Each Sub-Adviser shall provide the Fund's custodian on each business day with information relating to all transactions concerning the assets of the Fund and shall provide the Adviser with such information upon request of the Adviser. 6. Services Not Exclusive. The services furnished by each Sub-Adviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive and such Sub-Adviser shall be free to furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this Contract are not impaired thereby. Nothing in this Contract shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer or employee of a Sub-Adviser, who may also be a Trustee, officer or employee of the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. 7. Use of Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Each Sub-Adviser may perform any or all of the services contemplated hereunder, including but not limited to providing investment advice to the Fund pursuant to paragraph 2(a) above and placing orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities or other investments for the Fund pursuant to paragraph 2(b) above, directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, including each of the other Sub-Advisers, as such Sub-Adviser shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliates shall have been approved, when required by the 1940 Act, by (i) a vote of a majority of the independent Trustees who are not parties to this Contract or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of a party to this Contract, other than as Board members ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and/or (ii) a vote of a majority of that Fund's outstanding voting securities. 8. Compensation. (a) The only fees payable to the Sub-Advisers under this Contract are for providing discretionary investment management services pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above. For such services, the Adviser will pay each Sub-Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to (i) 40% of the monthly compensation that the Adviser receives from the Fund pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Fund, multiplied by (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Fund as to which the Sub-Adviser shall have provided discretionary investment management services pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above for that month divided by the net assets of the Fund for that month. This fee shall be payable on or before the last business day of the next succeeding calendar month. This fee shall be reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by the Adviser, if any, in effect from time to time as set forth in paragraph 9 below. In no event shall the aggregate monthly fees paid to the Sub-Advisers under this Contract exceed 40% of the monthly compensation that the Adviser receives from the Fund pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Fund, as reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by the Adviser, if any. (b) If this Contract becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the fees for the period from the effective date to the end of the month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. (c) If a Sub-Adviser provides the services under paragraph 2(c) above to the Fund for a period that is less than a full month, the fees for such period shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the applicable full month. 9. Fee Waivers and Expense Limitations. If, for any fiscal year of the Fund, the amount of the advisory fee which such Fund would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Adviser is reduced because of contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by the Adviser, the fee payable to each Sub-Adviser pursuant to paragraph 8 above shall be reduced proportionately; and to the extent that the Adviser reimburses the Fund as a result of such expense limitations, such Sub-Adviser shall reimburse the Adviser that proportion of such reimbursement payments which the fee payable to each Sub-Adviser pursuant to paragraph 8 above bears to the advisory fee under this Contract. 10. Limitation of Liability of Sub-Adviser and Indemnification. No Sub-Adviser shall be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of such Sub-Adviser in the performance by such Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by such Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under this Contract. Any person, even though also an officer, partner, employee, or agent of a Sub-Adviser, who may be or become a Managing General Partner, officer, employee or agent of the Fund, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Fund or acting with respect to any business of the Fund, to be rendering such service to or acting solely for the the Fund and not as an officer, partner, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction of such Sub-Adviser even though paid by it. 11. Duration and Termination. (a) This Contract shall become effective with respect to each Sub-Adviser upon the later of the date hereabove written and the date that such Sub-Adviser is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, if a Sub-Adviser is not so registered as of the date hereabove written; provided, however, that this Contract shall not take effect with respect to the Fund unless it has first been approved (i) by a vote of a majority of the Independent Managing General Partners, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, when required by the 1940 Act. (b) Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Contract shall continue in force and effect until two years after its effective date determined in 11(a). Thereafter, if not terminated, with respect to each Fund, this Contract shall continue automatically for successive periods not to exceed twelve months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Independent Managing General Partners, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Fund or any Sub-Adviser(s), this Contract may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, (i) by vote of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund on sixty days' written notice to such Sub-Adviser(s); or (ii) by the Adviser on sixty days' written notice to such Sub-Adviser(s); or (iii) by a Sub-Adviser on sixty days' written notice to the Fund. Should this Contract be terminated with respect to a Sub-Adviser, the Adviser shall assume the duties and responsibilities of such Sub-Adviser unless and until the Adviser appoints another Sub-Adviser to perform such duties and responsibilities. Termination of this Contract with respect to one Sub-Adviser(s) shall not affect the continued effectiveness of this Contract with respect to any remaining Sub-Adviser(s). This Contract will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. 12. Amendment. No provision of this Contract may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and, when required by the 1940 Act, no amendment of this Contract shall be effective until approved by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. 13. Notices. Any notices under this Contract shall be in writing, addressed and delivered, telecopied or mailed postage paid, to the other party entitled to receipt thereof at such address as such party may designate for the receipt of such notice. Until further notice to the other party, it is agreed that the address of the Fund and the Adviser shall be 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77046-1173. Until further notice to the other party, it is agreed that the address of each Sub-Adviser shall be set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. 14. Governing Law. This Contract shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the 1940 Act. To the extent that the applicable laws of the State of Texas conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control. 15. Multiple Sub-Advisory Agreements. This Contract has been signed by multiple parties; namely the Adviser, on one hand, and each Sub-Adviser, on the other. The parties have signed one document for administrative convenience to avoid a multiplicity of documents. It is understood and agreed that this document shall constitute a separate sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund, as if the Adviser and such Sub-Adviser had executed a separate sub-advisory agreement naming such Sub-Adviser as a sub-adviser to the Fund. With respect to any one Sub-Adviser, (i) references in this Contract to "a Sub-Adviser" or to "each Sub-Adviser" shall be deemed to refer only to such Sub-Adviser, and (ii) the term "this Contract" shall be construed according to the foregoing provisions. 16. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Contract are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. If any provision of this Contract shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Contract shall not be affected thereby. This Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Contract having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States Courts or in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the SEC issued pursuant to said Acts. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act reflected in any provision of the Contract is revised by rule, regulation or order of the SEC, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Contract to be executed by their officers designated as of the day and year first above written. INVESCO ADVISERS, INC. Adviser BY: /s/ TODD L.

RECITALS WHEREAS, the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company; WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), as an investment advisor and engages in the business of acting as an investment advisor; WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser desire to enter into an agreement to provide for investment advisory services to the Fund upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Advisory Services. The Adviser shall act as investment advisor for the Fund and shall, in such capacity, supervise all aspects of the Fund's operations, including the investment and reinvestment of cash, securities or other properties comprising the Fund's assets, subject at all times to the policies and control of the Board of Managing General Partners. The Adviser shall give the Fund the benefit of its best judgment, efforts and facilities in rendering its services as investment advisor. 2. Investment Analysis and Implementation. In carrying out its obligations under Section 1 hereof, the Adviser shall: (a) supervise all aspects of the operations of the Fund; (b) obtain and evaluate pertinent information about significant developments and economic, statistical and financial data, domestic, foreign or otherwise, whether affecting the economy generally or the Fund, and whether concerning the individual issuers whose securities are included in the assets of the Fund or the activities in which such issuers engage, or with respect to securities which the Adviser considers desirable for inclusion in the Fund's assets; (c) determine which issuers and securities shall be represented in the Fund's investment portfolios and regularly report thereon to the Board of Managing General Partners; (d) formulate and implement continuing programs for the purchases and sales of the securities of such issuers and regularly report thereon to the Board of Managing General Partners; and (e) take, on behalf of the Fund, all actions which appear to the Fund necessary to carry into effect such purchase and sale programs and supervisory functions as aforesaid, including but not limited to the placing of orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund. 3. Securities Lending Duties and Fees. The Adviser agrees to provide the following services in connection with the securities lending activities of the Fund: (a) oversee participation in the securities lending program to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory and investment guidelines; (b) assist the securities lending agent or principal (the "Agent") in determining which specific securities are available for loan; (c) monitor the Agent to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with the Adviser's instructions and with procedures adopted by the Board of Managing General Partners; (d) prepare appropriate periodic reports for, and seek appropriate approvals from, the Board of Managing General Partners with respect to securities lending activities; (e) respond to Agent inquiries; and (f) perform such other duties as necessary. As compensation for such services provided by the Adviser in connection with securities lending activities, the Fund shall pay the Adviser a fee equal to 25% of the net monthly interest or fee income retained or paid to the Fund from such activities. 4. Delegation of Responsibilities. The Adviser is authorized to delegate any or all of its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement to one or more sub-advisers, and may enter into agreements with sub-advisers, and may replace any such sub-advisers from time to time in its discretion, in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and rules and regulations thereunder, as such statutes, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and if applicable, exemptive orders or similar relief granted by the SEC and upon receipt of approval of such sub-advisers by the Board of Managing General Partners and by shareholders (unless any such approval is not required by such statutes, rules, regulations, interpretations, orders or similar relief). 5. Independent Contractors. The Adviser and any sub-advisers shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be independent contractors and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund. 6. Control by Board of Managing General Partners. Any investment program undertaken by the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, as well as any other activities undertaken by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund, shall at all times be subject to any directives of the Board of Managing General Partners. 7. Compliance with Applicable Requirements. In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser shall at all times conform to: (a) all applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act and any rules and regulations adopted thereunder; (b) the provisions of the registration statement of the Fund, as the same may be amended from time to time under the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act; (c) the provisions of the Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, as the same may be amended from time to time; (d) the provisions of the by-laws of the Fund, as the same may be amended from time to time; and (e) any other applicable provisions of state, federal or foreign law. 8. Broker-Dealer Relationships. The Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage commission rates. (a) The Adviser's primary consideration in effecting a security transaction will be to obtain the best execution. (b) In selecting a broker-dealer to execute each particular transaction, the Adviser will take the following into consideration: the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and the difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Fund on a continuing basis. Accordingly, 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 fund execution services offered. (c) Subject to such policies as the Board of Managing General Partners may from time to time determine, the Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a fund investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting 2 that transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund, and to other clients of the Adviser as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Adviser is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the Fund to such brokers and dealers who also provide research or statistical material, or other services to the Fund, to the Adviser, or to any sub-adviser. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Adviser shall determine and the Adviser will report on said allocations regularly to the Board of Managing General Partners indicating the brokers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefor. (d) With respect to the Fund, to the extent the Adviser does not delegate trading responsibility to one or more sub-advisers, in making decisions regarding broker-dealer relationships, the Adviser may take into consideration the recommendations of any sub-adviser appointed to provide investment research or advisory services in connection with the Fund, and may take into consideration any research services provided to such sub-adviser by broker-dealers. (e) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8, the 1940 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and rules and regulations thereunder, as such statutes, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the staff of the SEC, any exemptive orders issued by the SEC, and any other applicable provisions of law, the Adviser may select brokers or dealers with which it or the Fund are affiliated. 9. Compensation. The compensation that the Fund shall pay the Adviser is set forth in Appendix A attached hereto. 10. Expenses of the Fund. All of the ordinary business expenses incurred in the operations of the Fund and the offering of its shares shall be borne by the Fund unless specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement. These expenses borne by the Fund include but are not limited to brokerage commissions, taxes, legal, accounting, auditing, or governmental fees, the cost of preparing share certificates, custodian, transfer and shareholder service agent costs, expenses of issue, sale, redemption and repurchase of shares, expenses of registering and qualifying shares for sale, expenses relating to trustees and shareholder meetings, the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders, the fees and other expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with membership in investment company organizations and the cost of printing copies of prospectuses and statements of additional information distributed to the Fund's shareholders. 11. Services to Other Companies or Accounts. The Fund understands that the Adviser now acts, will continue to act and may act in the future as investment manager or Adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment manager or adviser to other investment companies, including any offshore entities, or accounts, and the Fund has no objection to the Adviser so acting, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other investment companies or accounts managed or advised by the Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each company and account. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the positions obtainable and the prices realized for the Fund. 12. Non-Exclusivity. The Fund understands that the persons employed by the Adviser to assist in the performance of the Adviser's duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Adviser or any affiliate of the Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature. The Fund further understands and agrees that officers or directors of the Adviser may serve as officers or partners of the Fund, and that officers or partners of the Fund may serve as officers or directors of the Adviser to the extent permitted by law; and that the officers and directors of the Adviser are not prohibited from engaging in any other business activity or from rendering services to any other person, or from serving as partners, officers, directors or trustees of any other firm or trust, including other investment advisory companies. 13. Effective Date, Term and Approval. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Fund, if approved by the shareholders of the Fund, on the date indicated above. If so approved, this Agreement shall 3 thereafter continue in force and effect until two years after the date indicated above, and may be continued from year to year thereafter, provided that the continuation of the Agreement is specifically approved at least annually: (a) (i) by the Board of Managing General Partners or (ii) by the vote of "a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund (as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act); and (b) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managing General Partners who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of a party to this Agreement (other than as Managing General Partners of the Fund), by votes cast in person at a meeting specifically called for such purpose. 14. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as to the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of the Board of Managing General Partners or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, or by the Adviser, on sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party. The notice provided for herein may be waived by the party entitled to receipt thereof. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, the term "assignment" for purposes of this paragraph having the meaning defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. 15. Amendment. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment is sought. 16. Liability of Adviser and Fund. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser or any of its officers, directors or employees, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. 17. Liability of Shareholders. Notice is hereby given that, as provided by applicable law, the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Fund and that the shareholders shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the same limitation on personal liability as shareholders of private corporations for profit. 18. Notices. Any notices under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and delivered, telecopied or mailed postage paid, to the other party entitled to receipt thereof at such address as such party may designate for the receipt of such notice.

Questions of Interpretation. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States Courts or in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the SEC issued pursuant to said Acts. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act reflected in any provision of the Agreement is revised by rule, regulation or order of the SEC, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (without reference to conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Texas. 20.
