EXHIBIT m(8)
[AIM LOGO APPEARS HERE] SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR
A I M Distributors, Inc. SHARES OF THE AIM MUTUAL FUNDS
(A I M Distributors, Inc. as Principal)
This Shareholder Service Agreement (the "Agreement") has been adopted pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, by each of the
AIM-managed mutual funds (or designated classes of such funds) listed in
Schedule A to this Agreement (the "Funds"), which may be amended from time to
time by the Funds acting through A I M Distributors, Inc. ("Distributors") as
the Funds' agent under a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to said
Rule. This Agreement, being made between Distributors as agent for such Funds on
the one hand and Distributors acting as principal on the other hand, defines the
services to be provided by Distributors acting as principal for which it is to
receive shareholder service payments pursuant to the Plan adopted by each of the
Funds. The Plan and the Agreement have been approved by a majority of the
directors of each of the Funds, including a majority of the directors who are
not interested persons of such Funds, and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the Plan or related agreements (the
"Dis-interested Directors"), by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on the Plan. Such approval included a determination that in
the exercise of their reasonable business judgement and in light of their
fiduciary duties, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
such Fund and its shareholders.
1. To the extent that Distributors, acting as principal, provides continuing
personal shareholder services to Fund shareholders for whom Distributors is
the broker of record, including but not limited to, answering routine
customer inquiries regarding the Funds, assisting customers in changing
dividend options, account designations and addresses, and in enrolling into
any of several special investment plans offered in connection with the
purchase of the Funds' shares, assisting in the establishment and
maintenance of customer accounts and records and in the processing of
purchase and redemption transactions, investing dividends and capital gains
distributions automatically in shares and providing such other services as
the Funds or the customer may reasonably request, Distributors as agent for
the Funds, shall pay Distributors as principal a service fee (as that term
is defined in NASD Conduct Rule 28-30(b)(9)), periodically or arrange for
such fee to be paid to you.
2. The service fee paid with respect to each Fund will be calculated at the
end of each payment period (as indicated in Schedule A) for each business
day of the Fund during such payment period at the annual rate set forth in
Schedule A as applied to the average net asset value of the shares of such
Fund for which Distributors is broker of record and which shares were
purchased or acquired through exchange on or after the Plan Calculation
Date shown for such Fund on Schedule A. Fees calculated in this manner
shall be paid to Distributors as principal only if Distributors is the
dealer of record at the close of business on the last business day of the
applicable payment period, for the account in which such shares are held
(the "Subject Shares").
3. The total of the fees calculated for all of the Funds listed on Schedule A
for any period with respect to which calculations are made shall be paid
within 45 days after the close of such period.
4. This Agreement and Schedule A does not require Distributors, as principal
to provide transfer agency and recordkeeping related services.
5. Distributors, shall furnish the Funds with such information as shall
reasonably be requested by the directors of the Funds with respect to the
fees paid pursuant to this Agreement.

Shareholder Service Agreement 2
6. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any Fund at any time
without payment of any penalty by the vote of a majority of the directors
of such Fund who are Dis-interested Directors or by a vote of a majority of
the Fund's outstanding shares, on sixty (60) days' written notice. It will
be terminated by any act which terminates either the Master Distribution
Agreement between the Fund and Distributors or the Fund's Distribution
Plan, and in any event, it shall terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.
7. This Agreement shall become effective upon execution and delivery hereof
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the continuance of
the Plan and this related Agreement are approved at least annually by a
vote of the directors, including a majority of the Dis-interested
Directors, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
thereon. All communications should be sent to the address of Distributors
as shown at the bottom of this Agreement.
8. Distributors, acting as principal represents that it provides to
shareholders for which it is broker of record personal services as such
term is used from time to time in applicable regulations of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and that it will continue to
accept payments under this Agreement only so long as it provides such
services.
9. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas.
