Exhibit (h)(12)(i)

AMENDMENT TO FINANCIAL REPORTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO FINANCIAL REPORTING SERVICES AGREEMENT, dated June 29, 2007 (this “Amendment”), amends the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, dated December 15, 2006, (the “Agreement”), by and between among each of the registered investment companies, or series thereof, listed on Schedule A thereto, including the Massachusetts business trusts listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Colonial Fund” and, together, the “Colonial Funds”), Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“CMA”), and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Supplier”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, each Colonial Fund has entered into the Agreement, which retains Supplier to provide certain financial reporting services to the Colonial Funds;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Colonial Insured Municipal Fund (“CIMF”) has taken action to effect the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the affairs of CIMF, a Fund listed on Exhibit A hereto, on May 25, 2007 (the “Liquidation”);

WHEREAS, CMA, the investment adviser to the remaining Funds has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Massachusetts Financial Services Company, Inc. (“MFS”) pursuant to which CMA will sell its business of managing the Colonial Funds (other than CIMF) to MFS (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Transaction, the Colonial Funds’ investment advisory agreements with CMA will terminate, and the Colonial Funds will enter into new investment advisory agreements with MFS pursuant to which MFS will serve as the Colonial Funds’ investment adviser; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. AMENDMENT. The Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1.1. Amended Schedule A (CIMF) and Effectiveness. Effective on the Liquidation, Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting CIMF therefrom.

1.2. Amended Schedule A (Colonial Funds) and Effectiveness. Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting therefrom the Colonial Funds listed on Exhibit A hereto. The amendment to the Agreement set forth in this Section 1.2 shall become effective when each of the following two conditions has been satisfied: (i) this Amendment has been duly executed by the parties hereto and (ii) the Transaction has been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.


1.3. Continuing Effectiveness. The amendments to the Agreement set forth in this Section 1 shall be deemed to be amendments to the Agreement, and the Agreement, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in each and every respect.

1.4. Waiver of Any Notice Requirement. The parties hereby waive any notice that they may have been entitled to under the Agreement due to the amendments described in this Amendment.

SECTION 2. MISCELLANEOUS.

2.1. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

2.2. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws, and not by the laws regarding conflicts of laws, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such state, and waives any objection to venue with respect to actions brought in such courts.

2.3. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

2.4. Notice. A copy of each Colonial Fund’s agreement and declaration of trust is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and this Amendment is executed by an officer of each Colonial Fund, as an officer and not individually, and the obligations of this Amendment with respect to the Colonial Funds shall be binding upon the assets and properties of the Colonial Funds only and shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders of the Colonial Funds individually.
