For and in consideration of the mutual terms and agreements set forth

right to reimbursement of any amount so waived.
The Company and AIM agree to review the then-current waivers for each class
of each Fund listed on Exhibit "A" on a date prior to the date listed on that
Exhibit to determine whether such waivers should be amended, continued or
terminated. Unless the Company, by vote of its Board of Directors, or AIM

on the amount of the waivers to which the Company and AIM desire to be bound,
the waivers will continue for additional one-year terms at the rate to which the
Company and AIM mutually agree. Exhibit "A" will be amended to reflect that
rate and the new date through which the Company and AIM agree to be bound.
