A I M Distributors, Inc. 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 inquiries 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 from 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 five (5) 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. 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 us 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 assigment,
the term "assignment" for this purpose having the meaning defined in
Section 2(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
