                         THIRD CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
                               DATED JUNE 1, 2010
                                     TO THE
                           FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
                       AGREEMENT AND DECLARATION OF TRUST
                            DATED SEPTEMBER 12, 1996

     WHEREAS, the Trustees of Van Kampen American Capital Bond Fund, a Delaware
business trust (the "Trust"), have approved the amendment of the Trust's First
Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 12, 1996
("Declaration of Trust") in accordance with Section 9.5 thereof;

     WHEREAS, the Trustees have authorized the proper officers of the Trust,
including the officer whose name appears below, to effect such amendment;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Declaration of Trust is amended as follows:

1.   The first sentence of Section 1.1 is amended and restated in its entirety
     to read as follows:

          1.1 Name. The name of the Trust shall be

               "INVESCO VAN KAMPEN BOND FUND"

          and so far as may be practicable, the Trustees shall conduct the
          Trust's activities, execute all documents and sue or be sued under
          that name, which name (and the word "Trust" wherever used in this
          Agreement and Declaration of Trust, except where the context otherwise
          requires) shall refer to the Trustees in their capacity as Trustees,
          and not individually or personally, and shall not refer to the
          officers, agents or employees of the Trust or of such Trustees, or to
          the holders of the Shares of the Trust' or any Series. If the Trustees
          determine that the use of such name is not practicable, legal or
          convenient at any time or in any jurisdiction, or if the Trust is
          required to discontinue the use of such name pursuant to Section 10.7
          hereof, then subject to that Section, the Trustees may use such other
          designation, or they may adopt such other name for the Trust as they
          deem proper, and the Trust may hold property and conduct its
          activities under such designation or name.

EXECUTED, to be effective as of June 1, 2010


                                        /s/ John M. Zerr
