BANK SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE AGREEMENT
We desire to enter into an Agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (the
"Company") acting as agent for the "AIM Funds", for servicing of our agency
clients who are shareholders of, and the administration of such shareholder
accounts in the shares of the AIM Funds (hereinafter referred to as the
"Shares"). Subject to the Company's acceptance of this Agreement, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall be as follows:
1. We shall provide continuing personal shareholder and administration
services for holders of the Shares who are also our clients. Such
services to our clients may include, without limitation, some or all
of the following: answering shareholder inquires regarding the Shares
and the AIM Funds; performing subaccounting; establishing and
maintaining shareholder accounts and records; processing and bunching
customer purchase and redemption transactions; providing periodic
statements showing a shareholder's account balance and the integration
of such statements with those of other transactions and balances in
the shareholder's other accounts serviced by us; forwarding applicable
AIM Funds prospectuses, proxy statements, reports and notices to our
clients who are holders of Shares; and such other administrative
services as you reasonably may request, to the extent we are permitted
by applicable statute, rule or regulations to provide such services.
We represent that we shall accept fees hereunder only so long as we
continue to provide personal shareholder services to our clients.
2. Shares purchased by us as agents for our clients will be registered
(choose one) (in our name or in the name of our nominee) (in the names
of our clients). The client will be the beneficial owner of the Shares
purchased and held by us in accordance with the client's instructions
and the client may exercise all applicable rights of a holder of such
Shares. We agree to transmit to the AIM Funds' transfer agent in a
timely manner, all purchase orders and redemption requests of our
clients and to forward to each client any proxy statements, periodic
shareholder reports and other communications received form the Company
by us on behalf of our clients. The Company agrees to pay all
out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by us in connection with the
transfer by us of such proxy statements and reports to our clients as
required by applicable law or regulation. We agree to transfer record
ownership of a client's Shares to the client promptly upon the request
of a client. In addition, record ownership will be promptly
transferred to the client in the event that the person or entity
ceases to be our client.
3. Within three (3) business days of placing a purchase order we agree to
send (i) a cashiers check to the Company, or (ii) a wire transfer to
the AIM Funds' transfer agent, in an amount equal to the amount of all
purchase orders placed by us on behalf of our clients and accepted by
the Company.
4. We agree to make available to the Company, upon the Company's request,
such information relating to our clients who are beneficial owners of
Shares and their transactions in such Shares as may be required by
applicable laws and regulations or as may be reasonably requested by
the

Company. The names of our customers shall remain our sole property and
shall not be used by the Company for any other purpose except as
needed for servicing and information mailings in the normal course of
business to holders of the Shares.
5. We shall provide such facilities and personnel (which may be all or
any part of the facilities currently used in our business, or all or
any personnel employed by us) as may be necessary or beneficial in
carrying out the purposes of this Agreement.
6. Except as may be provided in a separate written agreement between the
Company and us, neither we nor any of our employees or agents are
authorized to assist in distribution of any of the AIM Funds' shares
except those contained in the then current Prospectus applicable to
the Shares; and we shall have no authority to act as agent for the
Company or the AIM Funds. Neither the AIM Funds, A I M Advisors, Inc.
nor A I M Distributors, Inc. will be a party, nor will they be
represented as a party, to any agreement that we may enter into with
our clients.
7. In consideration of the services and facilities described herein, we
shall receive from the Company on behalf of the AIM Funds an annual
service fee, payable at such intervals as may be set forth in Schedule
A hereto, of a percentage of the aggregate average net asset value of
the Shares owned beneficially by our clients during each payment
period, as set forth in Schedule A hereto, which may be amended from
time to time by the Company. We understand that this Agreement and the
payment of such service fees has been authorized and approved by the
Boards of Directors/Trustees of the AIM Funds, and is subject to
limitations imposed by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. In cases where the Company has advanced payments to us of the
first year's fee for shares sold with a contingent deferred sales
charge, no payments will be made to us during the first year the
subject Shares are held.
8. The AIM Funds reserve the right, at their discretion and without
notice, to suspend the sale of any Shares or withdraw the sale of
Shares.
9. We understand that the Company reserves the right to amend this
Agreement or Schedule A hereto at any time without our consent by
mailing a copy of an amendment to us at the address set forth below.
Such amendment shall become effective on the date specified in such
amendment unless we elect to terminate this Agreement within thirty
(30) days of our receipt of such amendment.
10. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company on not
less than 15 days' written notice to us at our principal place of
business. We, on 15 days' written notice addressed to the Company at
its principal place of business, may terminate this Agreement, said
termination to become effective on the date of mailing notice to
Company of such termination. The Company's failure to terminate for
any cause shall not constitute a waiver of the Company's right to
terminate at a later date for any such cause. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, the term
"assignment" for this purpose having the meaning defined in Section
2(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
