Funds, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities Funds, AIM Sector Funds,
AIM Stock Funds, AIM Summit Fund, AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, AIM Treasurer's Series
Trust, AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Short-Term Investments Trust and Tax-Free
Investments Trust (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), on behalf of
the portfolios listed on Exhibit "A" to this Memorandum of Agreement (the
"Portfolios"), and A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). This Memorandum of Agreement
restates the Memorandum of Agreement previously in effect prior to July 1, 2007
and entered into as of the effective dates indicated on Exhibit "A" between AIM
Counselor Series Trust, AIM Equity Funds, AIM Funds Group, AIM Growth Series,
AIM International Mutual Funds, AIM Investment Funds, AIM Investment Securities
Funds, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Stock Funds, AIM Summit Fund, AIM Tax-Exempt Funds,
AIM Variable Insurance Funds, AIM Treasurer's Series Trust, Short-Term

and AIM.
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 Funds and AIM agree as follows:
1. Each Fund, for itself and its Portfolios, and AIM agree that until the
expiration date, if any, of the commitment set forth on the attached
Exhibit "A" occurs, as such Exhibit "A" is amended from time to time,
AIM has agreed that it will not charge any administrative fee under
each Portfolio's advisory agreement in connection with securities
lending activities without prior approval from the Portfolio's Board
(such agreement is referred to as the "Waiver").
2. Neither a Fund nor AIM may remove or amend the Waiver to a Fund's
detriment prior to requesting and receiving the approval of the
Portfolio's Board to remove or amend the Waiver. AIM will not have any
right to reimbursement of any amount so waived.
Unless a Fund, by vote of its Board of Trustees terminates the Waiver, or a
Fund and AIM are unable to reach an agreement on the amount of the Waiver to
which the Fund and AIM desire to be bound, the Waiver will continue indefinitely
with respect to such Fund. Exhibit "A" will be amended to reflect the new date
through which a Fund and AIM agree to be bound.
Nothing in this Memorandum of Agreement is intended to affect any other
memorandum of agreement executed by any Fund or AIM with respect to any other
fee waivers, expense reimbursements and/or expense limitations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Fund, on behalf of itself and its Portfolios
listed in Exhibit "A" to this Memorandum of Agreement, and AIM have entered into
this Memorandum of Agreement as of the dates indicated on Exhibit "A".
