MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
Exhibit 99.h(6)
(Affiliated Money Market Fund Waiver)
This Memorandum of Agreement is entered into as of the 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 Fundsand Short-Term 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”).
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 will waive advisory fees payable by an Investing Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee AIM receives on the Uninvested Cash (defined below) from the Affiliated Money Market Fund (defined below) in which the Investing Fund invests (the “Waiver”).
i. AIM’s Fund Accounting Group will calculate, and apply, the Waiver monthly, based upon the average investment of Uninvested Cash made by the Investing Fund during the previous month in an Affiliated Money Market Fund.
ii. The Waiver will not apply to those investing Funds that do not charge an advisory fee, either due to the terms of their advisory agreement, or as a result of contractual or voluntary fee waivers.
iii. The Waiver will not apply to cash collateral for securities lending.
For purposes of the paragraph above, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Affiliated Money Market Fund” - any existing or future Fund that holds itself out as a money market fund and complies with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and
(b) “Uninvested Cash” - cash available and uninvested by a Fund that may result from a variety of sources, including dividends or interest received on portfolio securities, unsettled securities transactions, strategic reserves, matured investments, proceeds from liquidation of investment securities, dividend payments, or new investor capital.
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 of Trustee to remove or amend such Waiver. AIM will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived.
Subject to the foregoing paragraphs, each of the Funds and AIM agree to review the then-current waivers for each class of the Funds listed on the Exhibit on a date prior to the Expiration Date to determine whether such waivers should be amended, continued or terminated. The waivers will expire upon the Expiration Date unless the Funds and AIM have agreed to continue them. The Exhibit will be amended to reflect any such agreement.
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”.
