THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (Securities Lending Waiver)
Exhibit 99.h(3)(b)
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
(Securities Lending Waiver)
This Third Amended and Restated 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 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 Investments Trust and Tax-Free Investments Trust, on behalf of the portfolios 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”.
