(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 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 January 31, 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 - 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.
