SCHEDULE A
1. RETAIL SHARE CLASSES
OPEN ACCOUNT FEE. For performance by the Transfer Agent pursuant to
this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of each of the Portfolios to pay the
Transfer Agent an annualized fee for shareholder accounts holding Class X, X0,
X, X, X, X, XXX Xxxx Reserve and Investor Class Shares and AIM Summit Fund
Shares that are open during any monthly period at a rate of $17.08, whether such
account is serviced directly by the Transfer Agent or by a third party pursuant
to an omnibus account service, sub-accounting, or networking agreement, as
provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement.
CLOSED ACCOUNT FEE. For performance by the Transfer Agent pursuant to
this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of each of the Portfolios to pay the
Transfer Agent an annualized fee for shareholder accounts which previously held
Class X, X0, X, X, X, X, XXX Xxxx Reserve and Investor Class Shares and AIM
Summit Fund Shares that were closed during any monthly period at a rate of
$0.70, to be paid for twelve months following the date on which an account was
closed, whether such account is serviced directly by the Transfer Agent or by a
third party pursuant to an omnibus account service, sub-accounting, or
networking agreement, as provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement.
DETERMINING NUMBER OF BILLABLE ACCOUNTS. To the extent a third party
servicing accounts through a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service,
sub-accounting, or networking agreement is unable to provide the number of
accounts being serviced (a "non-reporting service provider"), the Transfer Agent
may estimate the number of open accounts being serviced by the non-reporting
service provider by applying the average size of an account being serviced by
the Transfer Agent and all third parties who are able to report the number of
accounts being serviced (the "reporting service providers") to the total assets
invested in a given Portfolio through the accounts maintained by such
non-reporting service provider. The Transfer Agent may then estimate the number
of closed accounts being serviced by the non-reporting service provider by
applying the ratio of closed accounts to open accounts being serviced by the
Transfer Agent and all reporting service providers to the estimated number of
open accounts being serviced by the non-reporting service provider.
BILLING OF FEES. Both the Open and Closed Account Fees shall be billed
by the Transfer Agent monthly in arrears on a prorated basis of 1/12 of the
annualized fee for all such accounts.
2. INSTITUTIONAL SHARE CLASSES
ACCOUNTS SERVICED BY THE TRANSFER AGENT. For performance by the
Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of the
Institutional Class Shares of each Portfolio to pay the Transfer Agent a fee
equal to $2.00 per trade executed, to be billed monthly in arrears.
ACCOUNTS SERVICED BY THIRD PARTIES. The Fund agrees to reimburse the
Transfer Agent for fees paid by the Transfer Agent to third parties who service
accounts invested in Institutional Class Shares of a Portfolio pursuant to a
sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service, sub-accounting, or networking
agreements, as provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement.
CAP ON TRANSFER AGENCY FEES AND EXPENSES. The Transfer Agent agrees to
waive the right to collect any fee or reimbursement to which it is entitled
hereunder to the extent that collecting such fee or reimbursement would cause
the fees and expenses incurred hereunder by the
11
Institutional Class Shares of any given Portfolio to exceed 0.10% of the average
net assets attributable to such Class of such Portfolio.
3. INVESTMENT CREDITS
The total fees due to the Transfer Agent from all funds affiliated with
the Fund shall be reduced by an amount equal to the investment income earned by
the Transfer Agent, if any, on the balances of the disbursement accounts for
those funds. Such credits shall first be allocated to the Institutional Class,
if any, of a Portfolio based upon the number of accounts holding shares of such
Class relative to the total number of accounts holding all Classes of shares in
the Portfolio. The Portfolio's remaining fiscal year-to-date credits shall be
allocated among accounts holding Class X, X0, X, X, X, X, XXX Xxxx Reserve and
Investor Class Shares and AIM Summit Fund Shares, as applicable, on the basis of
fiscal year-to-date average net assets.
4. OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES

out-of-pocket expenses relating to the procurement of the following goods and
services, as they relate to the performance of the Transfer Agent's obligations

The Fund agrees that postage and mailing expenses will be paid on the
day of or prior to mailing. In addition, the Fund will promptly reimburse the
Transfer Agent for any other unscheduled expenses incurred by the Transfer Agent
whenever the Fund and the Transfer Agent mutually agree that such expenses are
not otherwise properly borne by the Transfer Agent as part of its duties and
obligations under the Agreement.
Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Transfer Agent hereunder shall
first be allocated among the series portfolios of the AIM Funds and the INVESCO
Funds based upon the number of open accounts holding shares in such portfolios.
Such out-of-pocket expenses that have been allocated to a Portfolio shall be
further allocated to the Institutional Class, if any, of such Portfolio based
upon the number of accounts holding shares of such Class relative to the total
number of accounts holding shares of all Classes in the Portfolio. The remaining
amount of the Portfolio's fiscal year-to-date out-of-pocket expenses shall be
further allocated among accounts holding Class X, X0, X, X, X, X, XXX Xxxx
