                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

         AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION made as of ________________ , 2001
by American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds, a Massachusetts
business trust ("ACCTFMF").

         WHEREAS, the parties desire that substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the California Municipal Money Market portfolio of ACCTFMF
("California Municipal Money Market") be transferred to, and be acquired and
assumed by, the California Tax-Free Money Market portfolio of ACCTFMF
("California Tax-Free Money Market") in exchange for shares of California
Tax-Free Money Market which shall thereafter be distributed by ACCTFMF to the
holders of shares of California Municipal Money Market, all as described in this
Agreement (the "Reorganization");

         WHEREAS, the parties intend that the transfer of assets, assumption of
liabilities and distribution of shares in California Municipal Money Market be
treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties intend that in connection with the Reorganization,
California Municipal Money Market shall be terminated and de-registered as
described in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, ACCTFMF agrees as follows:

1.       TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET.

         1.1.     At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 8), ACCTFMF shall
                  transfer and convey, on behalf of California Municipal Money
                  Market, all property of every description, and all interests,
                  rights, privileges and powers of California Municipal Money
                  Market (such assets, the "California Municipal Money Market
                  Assets"). Simultaneously, ACCTFMF shall, on behalf of
                  California Tax-Free Money Market, accept the California
                  Municipal Money Market Assets and assume all liabilities,
                  whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, of
                  California Municipal Money Market reflected in the calculation
                  of California Municipal Money Market's net asset value (the
                  "California Municipal Money Market Liabilities"). As a result,
                  at and after the Effective Time: (i) all assets of California
                  Municipal Money Market shall become and be the assets of
                  California Tax-Free Money Market; and (ii) all known
                  liabilities of California Municipal Money Market reflected as
                  such in the calculation of California Municipal Money Market's
                  net asset value shall attach to California Tax-Free Money
                  Market as aforesaid and may thenceforth be enforced against
                  California Tax-Free Money Market to the extent as if the same
                  had been incurred by it. Without limiting the generality of
                  the foregoing, the California Municipal Money Market Assets
                  shall include all property and assets of any nature
                  whatsoever, including without limitation, all cash, cash
                  equivalents, securities, other investments, claims and
                  receivables (including dividend and interest receivables)
                  owned by California Municipal Money Market, and any deferred
                  or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on California Municipal
                  Money Market's books at the Effective Time, and all good will,
                  other intangible property and books and records belonging to
                  California Municipal Money Market. Recourse by any person for
                  the California Municipal Money Market Liabilities assumed by
                  California Tax-Free Money Market shall, at and after the
                  Effective Time, be limited to California Tax-Free Money
                  Market.

         1.2.     In exchange for the transfer of the California Municipal Money
                  Market Assets and the assumption of the California Municipal
                  Money Market Liabilities, ACCTFMF shall simultaneously issue
                  at the Effective Time to California Municipal Money Market a
                  number of full and fractional shares (to the third decimal
                  place) of California Tax-Free Money Market, all determined and
                  adjusted as provided in this Agreement. The number of shares
                  of California Tax-Free Money Market so issued will have an
                  aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the California
                  Municipal Money Market Assets, less the California Municipal
                  Money Market Liabilities, that are represented by shares of
                  California Municipal Money Market, the holders of which shall
                  receive shares of California Tax-Free Money Market, all
                  determined and adjusted as provided in this Agreement.

         1.3.     The net asset values of shares of California Tax-Free Money
                  Market and of California Municipal Money Market shall be
                  determined as of the Valuation Time, as defined in Section 3.

         1.4.     The net asset value of shares of California Tax-Free Money
                  Market shall be computed in the manner set forth in California
                  Tax-Free Money Market's then-current prospectus under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The net
                  asset value of the California Municipal Money Market Assets to
                  be transferred by ACCTFMF shall be computed by ACCTFMF. In
                  determining the value of the securities transferred by
                  California Municipal Money Market to California Tax-Free Money
                  Market, each security shall be priced in accordance with the
                  policies and procedures of ACCTFMF as described in its
                  then-current prospectus and statement of additional
                  information and adopted by ACCTFMF's Board of Trustees. Price
                  quotations and the security characteristics relating to
                  establishing such quotations shall be determined by ACCTFMF.

2.       LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION AND TERMINATION OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY
         MARKET.

         Immediately after the Effective Time, California Municipal Money Market
         shall distribute in the complete liquidation pro rata to the record
         holders of its shares at the Effective Time the shares of California
         Tax-Free Money Market to be received by the record holders of
         California Municipal Money Market. ACCTFMF shall record on its books
         the ownership of shares of California Tax-Free Money Market by the
         record holders of shares of California Municipal Money Market. All of
         the issued and outstanding shares of California Municipal Money Market
         shall be redeemed and canceled on the books of ACCTFMF at the Effective
         Time and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the
         shares of California Tax-Free Money Market, and California Municipal
         Money Market's transfer books shall be closed permanently. As soon as
         practicable after the Effective Time, ACCTFMF shall take all steps as
         shall be necessary and proper to effect the dissolution of California
         Municipal Money Market under federal and state law. After the Effective
         Time, ACCTFMF shall not conduct any business with respect to California
         Municipal Money Market except in connection with California Municipal
         Money Market's liquidation and dissolution.

3.       VALUATION TIME.

         Subject to Section 1.4 hereof, the Valuation Time for the
         Reorganization shall be on such date as may be agreed by the duly
         authorized officers of ACCTFMF.

                  which have been previously furnished to ACCTFMF, present
                  fairly the financial position of California Municipal Money
                  Market as of August 31, 2001 and the results of its operations
                  for the year then ending, in conformity with generally

                  shall have declared a dividend or dividends, with a record
                  date and ex-dividend date prior to such Valuation Time, which,
                  together with all previous dividends, shall have the effect of
                  distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company
                  taxable income, if any, for the taxable periods or years ended
                  on or before California Municipal Money Market's most recent

                  shares.

         4.9.     There are no legal, administrative or other proceedings
                  pending or, to ACCTFMF's knowledge threatened, against ACCTFMF

                  liability on the part of California Municipal Money Market.

                  acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of
                  all liens and encumbrances, and subject to no restrictions on
                  the ownership or transfer thereof (except as imposed by
                  federal or state securities laws).

         4.11.    No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
                  governmental authority is required for the consummation by
                  ACCTFMF of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
                  except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the

                  Agreement, and any supplement or amendment thereto or to the
                  documents contained or incorporated therein by reference (the

                  Agreement will not, violate ACCTFMF's Declaration of Trust or
                  By-laws or any agreement or arrangement to which it is a party
                  or by which it is bound.

                  and since its first taxable year; and has been a regulated
                  investment company at all times since the end of its first

                  California Tax-Free Money Market that could result in
                  liability on the part of ACCTFMF or California Tax-Free Money
                  Market.

         5.8.     No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
                  governmental authority is required for the consummation by
                  ACCTFMF of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
                  except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1934

                  than those changes incurred in the ordinary course of business
                  as an investment company. No action, suit or other proceeding
                  shall be threatened or pending before any court or

                  income tax purposes: (i) the transfer of the California

                  Money Market Liabilities, in exchange for shares of California
                  Tax-Free Money Market, and the distribution of said shares to
                  the shareholders of California Municipal Money Market, as
                  provided in this Agreement, will constitute a reorganization
                  within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and California
                  Municipal Money Market and California Tax-Free Money Market
                  will each be considered "a party to a reorganization" within
                  the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (ii) no gain or
                  loss will be recognized by California Municipal Money Market
                  as a result of such transaction; (iii) no gain or loss will be

                  distribution to them by California Municipal Money Market of
                  shares of California Tax-Free Money Market in exchange for
                  their shares of California Municipal Money Market; (v) the
                  aggregate basis of California Tax-Free Money Market shares
                  received by each shareholder of California Municipal Money
                  Market will be the same as the aggregate basis of the
                  shareholder's California Municipal Money Market shares
                  immediately prior to the transaction; (vi) the basis of the
                  California Municipal Money Market Assets to California
                  Tax-Free Money Market will be the same as the basis of the
                  California Municipal Money Market Assets in the hands of
                  California Municipal Money Market immediately prior to the
                  exchange; (vii) a shareholder's holding period for California
                  Tax-Free Money Market shares will be determined by including
                  the period for which the shareholder held the shares of
                  California Municipal Money Market exchanged therefor, provided
                  that the shareholder held such shares of California Municipal
                  Money Market as a capital asset; and (viii) the holding period
                  of California Tax-Free Money Market with respect to the
                  California Municipal Money Market Assets will include the
                  period for which the California Municipal Money Market Assets
                  were held by California Municipal Money Market (except to the
                  extent that an activity or investment of California Tax-Free
                  Money Market has the effect of diminishing a holding period
                  with respect to an asset).

         9.5.     The SEC shall not have issued any unfavorable advisory report
                  under Section 25(b) of the 1940 Act nor instituted any
                  proceeding seeking to enjoin consummation of the transactions
                  contemplated by this Agreement under Section 25(c) of the 1940
                  Act.

         9.6.     The N-14 Registration Statement shall have become effective
                  under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending such
                  effectiveness shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge
                  of ACCTFMF, contemplated by the SEC, and the parties shall
                  have received all permits and other authorizations necessary
                  under state securities laws to consummate the transactions
                  contemplated by this Agreement.

         9.7.     The President or a Vice President of ACCTFMF shall have
                  certified that ACCTFMF has performed and complied in all
                  material respects with each of its agreements and covenants
                  required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by
