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 Funds Group, AIM Growth Series, AIM International Mutual
Funds, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities Funds, AIM Sector Funds,
AIM Stock 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, 2006 between AIM Counselor
Series Trust, AIM Equity Funds, AIM Funds Group, AIM Growth Series, AIM
International Mutual Funds, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities
Funds, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Stock 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 - E), the Trusts and AIM
agree until at least the date set forth on the attached Exhibits A - E (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' Board of
Trustees; and (vi) 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. With regard to the Contractual Limits, the
Board of Trustees 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 Trust 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 - E), 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' Board 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.
