Sub-Item 77Q1(e)
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 Growth Series, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities
Funds, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, AIM Variable Insurance Funds and
Short-Term 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 Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. ("Invesco Aim"). Invesco 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 Invesco Aim agree as follows:
For the Contractual Limits (listed in Exhibits A - D), the Trusts and
Invesco Aim agree until at least the expiration date set forth on the attached
Exhibits A - D (the "Expiration Date") that Invesco 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' Boards of Trustees; (vi) expenses of the underlying funds
that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the underlying funds;
and (vii) 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. Acquired fund fees and expenses are not fees or
expenses incurred by a fund directly but are expenses of the investment
companies in which a fund invests. These fees and expenses are incurred
indirectly through the valuation of a fund's investment in these investment
companies. Acquired fund fees and expenses are required to be disclosed and
included in the total annual fund operating expenses in the prospectus fee
table. As a result, the net total annual fund operating expenses shown in the
prospectus fee table may exceed the expense limits reflected in Exhibits A-D.
With regard to the Contractual Limits, the Board of Trustees of the Trust and
Invesco Aim may terminate or modify this Memorandum of Agreement prior to the
Expiration Date only by mutual written consent. Invesco Aim will not have any
right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or reimbursed.
For the Contractual Limits, each of the Trusts and Invesco 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 Trusts and Invesco Aim have
agreed to continue them. The Exhibits will be amended to reflect any such
agreement.
For the Voluntary Limits (listed in Exhibits A - D), the Trusts and Invesco
Aim agree that these are not contractual in nature and that Invesco Aim may
establish, amend and/or terminate such expense limitations at any time in its
sole discretion after consultation with the Funds' Boards of Trustees. Any delay
or failure by Invesco 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Trusts and Invesco Aim have entered into
this Memorandum of Agreement as of the Effective Dates on the attached Exhibits.
