Sub-Item 77Q1(e)
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
(EXPENSE LIMITATIONS)
This Memorandum of Agreement is entered into as of the Effective Date on
the attached exhibits (the "Exhibits"), between AIM Counselor Series Trust, AIM
Equity Funds, AIM Growth Series, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities
Funds, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Stock Funds, AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, AIM Variable
Insurance Funds, Short-Term Investments Trust and Tax-Free Investments Trust
(each a "Trust" or, collectively, the "Trusts"), on behalf of the funds listed
on the Exhibits to this Memorandum of Agreement (the "Funds"), and A I M
Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). This Memorandum of Agreement restates the Memorandum of
Agreement dated April 1, 2007 between AIM Counselor Series Trust, AIM Equity
Funds, AIM Funds Group, AIM Growth Series, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment
Securities Funds, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Stock Funds, AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, AIM
Variable Insurance Funds, Short-Term Investments Trust and Tax-Free Investments
Trust. AIM shall and hereby agrees to waive fees or reimburse expenses of each
Fund, on behalf of its respective classes as applicable, severally and not
jointly, as indicated in the attached Exhibits.
For and in consideration of the mutual terms and agreements set forth
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Trusts and AIM agree as follows:
For the Contractual Limits (listed in Exhibits A - D), the Trusts and AIM
agree until at least the expiration date set forth on the attached Exhibits A -
D (the "Expiration Date") that AIM will waive its fees or reimburse expenses to
the extent that expenses of a class of a Fund (excluding (i) interest; (ii)
taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary items; (v)
expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Funds' Boards
of Trustees; (vi) expenses of the underlying funds that are paid indirectly as a
result of share ownership of the underlying funds, and (vii) expenses that each
Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset
arrangement, if applicable) exceed the rate, on an annualized basis, set forth
on the Exhibits of the average daily net assets allocable to such class.
Acquired fund fees and expenses are not fees or expenses incurred by a fund
directly but are expenses of the investment companies in which a fund invests.
These fees and expenses are incurred indirectly through the valuation of a
fund's investment in these investment companies. Acquired fund fees and expenses
are required to be disclosed and included in the total annual fund operating
expenses in the prospectus fee table. As a result, the net total annual fund
operating expenses shown in the prospectus fee table may exceed the expense
limits reflected in Exhibits A-D. With regard to the Contractual Limits, the
Board of Trustees of the Trust and AIM may terminate or modify this Memorandum
of Agreement prior to the Expiration Date only by mutual written consent. AIM
will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or reimbursed.
For the Contractual Limits, each of the Trusts and AIM agree to review the
then-current expense limitations for each class of each Fund listed on the
Exhibits on a date prior to the Expiration Date to determine whether such
limitations should be amended, continued or terminated. The expense limitations
will expire upon the Expiration Date unless the Trusts and AIM have agreed to
continue them. The Exhibits will be amended to reflect any such agreement.
For the Voluntary Limits (listed in Exhibits A - D), the Trusts and AIM
agree that these are not contractual in nature and that AIM may establish, amend
and/or terminate such expense limitations at any time in its sole discretion
after consultation with the Funds' Boards of Trustees. Any delay or failure by
AIM to update this Memorandum of Agreement with regards to the terminations,
extensions, or expirations of the Voluntary Limits shall have no effect on the
term of such Voluntary Limitations; the Voluntary Limitations are listed herein
for informational purposes only.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of each Trust hereunder shall
not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers,
agents or employees of the Trusts personally, but shall only bind the assets and
property of each Fund, as provided in each Trust's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust. The execution and delivery of this Memorandum of Agreement have been
authorized by the Trustees of the Trusts, and this Memorandum of Agreement has
been executed and delivered by an authorized officer of the Trusts acting as
such; neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and
delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them
individually or
to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the
assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trust's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Trusts and AIM have entered into this
Memorandum of Agreement as of the Effective Dates on the attached Exhibits.
