[A I M DISTRIBUTORS, INC. LOGO]         BANK SHAREHOLDER
                                        SERVICE AGREEMENT



We desire to enter into an Agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. (the
"Company") acting as agent for the "AIM Funds", for servicing of our agency
clients who are shareholders of, and the administration of such shareholder
accounts in the shares of the AIM Funds (hereinafter referred to as the
"Shares"). Subject to the Company's acceptance of this Agreement, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall be as follows:

1.       We shall provide continuing personal shareholder and administration
         services for holders of the Shares who are also our clients. Such
         services to our clients may include, without limitation, some or all of
         the following: answering shareholder inquires regarding the Shares and
         the AIM Funds; performing subaccounting; establishing and maintaining
         shareholder accounts and records; processing and bunching customer
         purchase and redemption transactions; providing periodic statements
         showing a shareholder's account balance and the integration of such
         statements with those of other transactions and balances in the
         shareholder's other accounts serviced by us; forwarding applicable AIM
         Funds prospectuses, proxy statements, reports and notices to our
         clients who are holders of Shares; and such other administrative
         services as you reasonably may request, to the extent we are permitted
         by applicable statute, rule or regulations to provide such services. We
         represent that we shall accept fees hereunder only so long as we
         continue to provide personal shareholder services to our clients.

2.       Shares purchased by us as agents for our clients will be registered
         (choose one) (in our name or in the name of our nominee) (in the names
         of our clients). The client will be the beneficial owner of the Shares
         purchased and held by us in accordance with the client's instructions
         and the client may exercise all applicable rights of a holder of such
         Shares. We agree to transmit to the AIM Funds' transfer agent in a
         timely manner, all purchase orders and redemption requests of our
         clients and to forward to each client any proxy statements, periodic
         shareholder reports and other communications received form the Company
         by us on behalf of our clients. The Company agrees to pay all
         out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by us in connection with the
         transfer by us of such proxy statements and reports to our clients as
         required by applicable law or regulation. We agree to transfer record
         ownership of a client's Shares to the client promptly upon the request
         of a client. In addition, record ownership will be promptly transferred
         to the client in the event that the person or entity ceases to be our
         client.

3.       Within three (3) business days of placing a purchase order we agree to
         send (i) a cashiers check to the Company, or (ii) a wire transfer to
         the AIM Funds' transfer agent, in an amount equal to the amount of all
         purchase orders placed by us on behalf of our clients and accepted by
         the Company.

4.       We agree to make available to the Company, upon the Company's request,
         such information relating to our clients who are beneficial owners of
         Shares and their transactions in such Shares as may be required by
         applicable laws and regulations or as may be reasonably requested by
         the Company. The names of our customers shall remain our sole property
         and shall not be used by the Company for any other purpose except as
         needed for servicing and information mailings in the normal course of
         business to holders of the Shares.

5.       We shall provide such facilities and personnel (which may be all or any
         part of the facilities currently used in our business, or all or any
         personnel employed by us) as may be necessary or beneficial in carrying
         out the purposes of this Agreement.

6.       Except as may be provided in a separate written agreement between the
         Company and us, neither we nor any of our employees or agents are
         authorized to assist in distribution of any of the AIM Funds' shares
         except those contained in the then current Prospectus applicable to the
         Shares; and we shall have no authority to act as agent for the Company
         or the AIM Funds. Neither the AIM Funds, A I M Advisors, Inc. nor A I M
         Distributors, Inc. will be a party, nor will they be represented as a
         party, to any agreement that we may enter into with our clients.

7.       In consideration of the services and facilities described herein, we
         shall receive from the Company on behalf of the AIM Funds an annual
         service fee, payable at such intervals as may be set forth in Schedule
         A hereto, of a percentage of the aggregate average net asset value of
         the Shares owned beneficially by our clients during each payment
         period, as set forth in Schedule A hereto, which may be amended from
         time to time by the Company. We understand that this Agreement and the
         payment of such service fees has been authorized and approved by the
         Boards of Directors/Trustees of the AIM Funds, and is subject to
         limitations imposed by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
         Inc. In cases where the Company has advanced payments to us of the
         first year's fee for shares sold with a contingent deferred sales
         charge, no payments will be made to us during the first year the
         subject Shares are held.

8.       The AIM Funds reserve the right, at their discretion and without
         notice, to suspend the sale of any Shares or withdraw the sale of
         Shares.

9.       We understand that the Company reserves the right to amend this
         Agreement or Schedule A hereto at any time without our consent by
         mailing a copy of an amendment to us at the address set forth below.
         Such amendment shall become effective on the date specified in such
         amendment unless we elect to terminate this Agreement within thirty
         (30) days of our receipt of such amendment.

10.      This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company on not less
         than 15 days' written notice to us at our principal place of business.
         We, on 15 days' written notice addressed to the Company at its
         principal place of business, may terminate this Agreement, said
         termination to become effective on the date of mailing notice to
         Company of such termination. The Company's failure to terminate for any
         cause shall not constitute a waiver of the Company's right to terminate
         at a later date for any such cause. This Agreement shall terminate
         automatically in the event of its assignment, the term "assignment" for
         this purpose having the meaning defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

11.      All communications to the Company shall be sent to it at Eleven
         Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas, 77046-1173. Any notice to us
         shall be duly given if mailed or telegraphed to us at this address
         shown on this Agreement.

12.      This Agreement shall become effective as of the date when it is
         executed and dated below by the Company. This Agreement and all rights
         and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and
