8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

8.1 Transfer Agent. Transfer Agent represents and warrants to Company that:

	(a)		Governance.

	(b)		It has and will continue to have access to the necessary facilities, equipment and personnel to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and it has and will continue to have a commercially reasonable disaster recovery plan; and

	(c)		Compliance with Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Transfer Agent has been duly authorized by all necessary action and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Transfer Agent enforceable against Transfer Agent in accordance with its terms and will not violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any material term, condition or provision of, or require the consent of any other party to (i) any existing law, ordinance, or governmental rule or regulation to which Transfer Agent is subject, (ii) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory official, body or authority applicable to Transfer Agent, (iii) Transfer Agent’s incorporation documents or by-laws, or (iv) any material agreement to which Transfer Agent is a party.

8.2 Company. Company represents and warrants to Transfer Agent that:

	(a)		Governance. Each Invesco Closed End Fund is a trust or corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state(s) designated in Appendix A, and each has full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform this Agreement;

			and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Company enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms and will not violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any material term, condition or provision of, or require the consent of any other party to (i) any existing law, ordinance, or governmental rule or regulation to which Company is subject, (ii) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory official, body or authority applicable to Company, (iii) Company’s incorporation documents or by-laws, (iv) any material agreement to which Company is a party, or (v) exchange rules; and

9.4 Notice.

Confidential Information constitutes trade secrets and is of great value to the owner (or its affiliates). Confidential Information shall not include any information that is: (a) already known to the other party or its affiliates at the time of the disclosure; (b) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of the other party; (c) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such information; or (d) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other.

11.2 Use and Disclosure. All Confidential Information of a party will be held in confidence by the other party with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose in any manner Confidential Information of the other party in any form to any person or entity without the other party’s prior consent. However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party’s Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement and such disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement such physical and other security measures and controls as are necessary to protect (a) the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information; (b) against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Confidential Information; and (c) against any unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. To the extent that a party delegates any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Section 11.

11.3 Required or Permitted Disclosure. In the event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential Information, other than requests to Transfer Agent for Shareholder records pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will promptly notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other patty the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each patty expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

11.4 Unauthorized Disclosure. As may be required by law and without limiting any party’s rights in respect of a breach of this Section 11, each party will promptly:

	(a)		notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of the other patty’s Confidential Information by any person or entity that may become known to such party;

	(b)		furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession, use or disclosure; and

	(c)		use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

11.5 Costs. Each party will bear the costs it incurs as a result of compliance with this Section 11.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION.

12.1 Term. The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years from the date first stated above unless terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.

12.2 Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, should Company terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the then current Initial or Renewal Term, for any reason, including but not limited to, its liquidation, acquisition, merger or restructuring, Company shall pay to Transfer Agent (a) the fees and expenses incurred as of the termination date, (b) additional fees accelerated through the end of, and including all months that would have remained in, the Initial Term or Renewal Term in effect at the time of termination, and (c) conversion costs and expenses in accordance with Section 12.3 of this Agreement.

This Section 12.2 shall not apply if Transfer Agent is terminated pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Agreement.

12.3 Costs and Expenses. In the event of the expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party, Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses associated with the movement of records and materials to Company or the successor agent, including (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs; and (b) expenses in an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate fees (not including reimbursable expenses) incurred by Company during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period; provided, however, such expense amount under this Section 12.3(b) shall in no event be less than one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars.

12.4 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by any party upon a material breach of a representation, covenant or term of this Agreement by any other party which

14.2 Unaffiliated Third Parties. Nothing herein shall impose any duty upon Transfer Agent in connection with or make Transfer Agent liable for the actions or omissions to act of unaffiliated third parties (other than subcontractors referenced in Section 14.1 of this Agreement) such as, by way of example and not limitation, airborne services, delivery services, the U.S. mails, and telecommunication companies, provided, if Transfer Agent selected such company, Transfer Agent exercised due care in selecting the same.
