WHEREAS, Invesco Aim entered into that certain Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2004 (the “Agreement”), with VALIC that designates Invesco Aim as the investment manager for the [VALIC Company I Global Real Estate Fund, International Growth I Fund, Large Capital Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund][VALIC Company II International Small Cap Equity Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund], as listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Funds”); and

WHEREAS, the assignment of the Agreement by Invesco Aim to Invesco Institutional pursuant to this Assignment will not result in (a) a change of control or management of the investment adviser to the Fund, (b) a material change in the nature or the level of actual investment advisory and administrative services provided to the Funds, or (c) a change in the investment management personnel who manage the Fund, and, therefore, is not an assignment for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained, the parties to this Assignment agree as follows:

3.          Effective December 31, 2009, the Agreement, as it relates to the Funds, shall have the same force and effect as if such agreement were executed by Invesco Institutional.

4.          Invesco Aim represents that the transfer of the Agreement to Invesco Institutional will not result in an actual change in control, which would result in a termination of the Agreement due to “assignment” pursuant to Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended, or Rule 2a-6 thereunder. Invesco Aim will deliver an opinion from its legal counsel, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, confirming that the consolidation will not result in an actual change in control prior to effecting the transaction.
