     WHEREAS,  the Company has adopted an Amended and  Restated  Multiple  Class
Plan  dated as of  September  3, 2002 (as the same may be  amended  from time to
time,  the  "Multiple  Class  Plan"),  pursuant to Rule 18f-3 of the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act");

     WHEREAS,  the Multiple Class Plan establishes one or more classes of shares
for each series of shares of the Company;

     WHEREAS,  the  parties  hereto  have  agreed to a revised  methodology  for
calculation  of the rate at which the  Management  Fee is payable  hereunder for
each series and each class of each series of shares of the Company;

class of each series of shares of the Company; and

     WHEREAS,  the parties  hereto  desire to enter into this  Agreement  (i) to
arrange for  investment  management  services  to be provided by the  Investment

herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1.   INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES.  The Investment Manager shall supervise the
     investments of each series of shares of the Company  contemplated as of the
     date  hereof,  and such  subsequent  series of shares as the Company  shall
     select the Investment  Manager to manage. In such capacity,  the Investment
     Manager  shall  maintain  a  continuous  investment  program  for each such
     series,  determine  what  securities  shall  be  purchased  or sold by each
     series,  secure and evaluate such  information  as it deems proper and take

     including the placing of purchase and sale orders.

2.   COMPLIANCE  WITH LAWS. All functions  undertaken by the Investment  Manager
     hereunder  shall at all times  conform to, and be in accordance  with,  any

     (e)  the Multiple Class Plan; and

     individually a "Director") of the Company, its executive committee,  or any
     committee  or officers of the Company  acting  under the  authority  of the
     Board of Directors.

4.   PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Investment Manager will pay all of the expenses of
     each  series of the  Company's  shares  that it shall  manage,  other  than
     interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,  portfolio insurance, extraordinary
     expenses,  the fees and expenses of those Directors who are not "interested
     persons" as defined in Investment  Company Act (hereinafter  referred to as
     the  "Independent   Directors")  (including  counsel  fees),  and  expenses
     incurred in  connection  with the  provision  of  shareholder  services and
     distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the

     office  supplies,  computer  hardware  and software and salaried and hourly
     paid personnel.  The Investment Manager may at its expense employ others to
     provide all or any part of such facilities and personnel.

5.   ACCOUNT FEES.  The Board of Directors  may impose fees for various  account
     services,  proceeds of which may be remitted to the appropriate Fund or the
     Investment  Manager at the discretion of the Board. At least 60 days' prior

               implemented by the  Investment  Manager for pursuing a particular
               investment objective managed by an Investment Team.

                        AMERICAN CENTURY CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE AND MUNICIPAL FUNDS


               registered investment company that invests its assets exclusively
               in the shares of other registered  investment companies shall not
               be a Primary  Strategy  Portfolio.  Any  exceptions  to the above
               requirements  shall be approved by the Board of  Directors of the
               Company

          (4)  A "SECONDARY  STRATEGY  PORTFOLIO" is another  account managed by
               the  Investment  Manager  that is managed by the same  Investment
               Team as that  assigned to manage any Primary  Strategy  Portfolio
               that shares the same board of  directors  or board of trustees as
               the Company. Any exceptions to this requirement shall be approved
               by the Board of Directors of the Company

          (5)  An "INVESTMENT CATEGORY" for a series of the Company is the group
               to which  the  series  is  assigned  for  determining  the  first
               component of its management fee. Each Primary Strategy  Portfolio
               is assigned to one of the three Investment  Categories  indicated
               below. The Investment Category  assignments for the series of the
               Company  appear in  Schedule B to this  Agreement.  The assets in
               each of the Investment Categories  ("INVESTMENT CATEGORY ASSETS")
               is determined as follows:

               a)   MONEY MARKET FUND CATEGORY ASSETS. The assets which are used
                    to determine the fee for this Investment Category is the sum
                    of the assets of all of the Primary Strategy  Portfolios and
                    Secondary Strategy  Portfolios that invest primarily in debt
                    securities and are subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
                    Company Act.

               b)   BOND FUND  CATEGORY  ASSETS.  The  assets  which are used to
                    determine  the fee for this  Investment  Category is the sum
                    the assets of all of the  Primary  Strategy  Portfolios  and
                    Secondary Strategy  Portfolios that invest primarily in debt
                    securities  and  are not  subject  to Rule  2a-7  under  the
                    Investment Company Act.

               c)   EQUITY FUND  CATEGORY  ASSETS.  The assets which are used to
                    determine  the fee for this  Investment  Category is the sum
                    the assets of all of the  Primary  Strategy  Portfolios  and
                    Secondary  Strategy  Portfolios  that  invest  primarily  in
                    equity securities.

          (6)  The "PER  ANNUM  INVESTMENT  CATEGORY  FEE DOLLAR  AMOUNT"  for a
               series  is  the  dollar  amount   resulting   from  applying  the
               applicable Investment Category Fee Schedule for the series of the
               Company (as shown on Schedule A) using the applicable  Investment
               Category Assets.

          (7)  The "PER ANNUM INVESTMENT  CATEGORY FEE RATE" for a series of the
               Company is the percentage rate that results from dividing the Per
               Annum Investment Category Fee Dollar Amount for the series by the
               applicable Investment Category Assets for the series.

          (8)  The  "COMPLEX  ASSETS"  is the  sum of the  assets  in all of the
               Primary Strategy Portfolios.

                                                                          Page 3



                        AMERICAN CENTURY CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE AND MUNICIPAL FUNDS



          (9)  The "PER ANNUM COMPLEX FEE DOLLAR AMOUNT" for a class of a series
               of  the  Company  shall  be  the  dollar  amount  resulting  from
               application of the Complex Assets to the Complex Fee Schedule for
               the class as shown in Schedule C.

          (10) The "PER ANNUM  COMPLEX  FEE RATE" for a class of a series of the
               Company is the percentage rate that results from dividing the Per
               Annum  Complex Fee Dollar Amount for the class of a series by the
               Complex Assets.

          (11) The "PER  ANNUM  MANAGEMENT  FEE RATE" for a class of a series of
               the Company is the sum of the Per Annum  Investment  Category Fee
               Rate  applicable  to the series and the Per Annum Complex Fee Fee
               Rate applicable to the class of the series.

     (c)  DAILY MANAGEMENT FEE CALCULATION. For each calendar day, each class of
          each series of shares of the Company shall accrue a fee  calculated by
          multiplying the Per Annum Management Fee Rate for that class times the
          net assets of the class on that day, and further dividing that product
          by 365 (366 in leap years).

     (d)  MONTHLY  MANAGEMENT  FEE  PAYMENT.  On the first  business day of each
          month,  each class of each series of shares of the  Company  shall pay
          the management fee to the Investment  Manager for the previous  month.
          The  fee  for  the  previous  month  shall  be the  sum  of the  Daily
          Management  Fee  Calculations  for each  calendar  day in the previous
          month.

     (e)  ADDITIONAL SERIES OR CLASSES. In the event that the Board of Directors
          shall determine to issue any additional  series of shares for which it
          is proposed that the Investment  Manager serve as investment  manager,
          the Company and the Investment Manager shall enter into an Addendum to
          this  Agreement  setting  forth the name of the series or classes,  as
          appropriate, the Applicable Fee and such other terms and conditions as
          are applicable to the management of such series of shares.

7.   CONTINUATION OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall continue in effect, unless
     sooner terminated as hereinafter  provided,  for a period of two years from
     the execution  hereof,  and for as long  thereafter as its  continuance  is
     specifically  approved, as to each series of the Company, at least annually
     (i) by the Board of  Directors  of the Company or by the vote of a majority
     of the outstanding  voting securities of the Company,  and (ii) by the vote
     of a majority of the  Directors of the Company,  who are not parties to the
     agreement  or  interested  persons of any such  party,  cast in person at a
     meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

8.   TERMINATION.  This Agreement may be terminated, with respect to any series,
     by the  Investment  Manager at any time  without  penalty  upon  giving the
     Company 60 days' written notice, and may be terminated, with respect to any
     series,  at any time  without  penalty  by the  Board of  Directors  of the
     Company or by vote of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of
     such series on 60 days' written notice to the Investment Manager.

9.   EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement shall automatically  terminate in the
     event of assignment by the Investment  Manager,  the term  "assignment" for
     this  purpose  having  the  meaning  defined  in  Section  2(a)(4)  of  the
     Investment Company Act.


                                                                          Page 4

10.  OTHER  ACTIVITIES.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the
     right of the  Investment  Manager,  or the  right  of any of its  officers,
     directors or employees (who may also be a Director,  officer or employee of
     the  Company),  to  engage  in any other  business  or to  devote  time and
     attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether
     of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any
     other corporation, firm, individual or association.

11.  STANDARD OF CARE. In the absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, gross
     negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder on
     the part of the  Investment  Manager,  it, as an  inducement to it to enter
     into this Agreement, shall not be subject to liability to the Company or to
     any shareholder of the Company for any act or omission in the course of, or
     connected with,  rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
     sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

12.  SEPARATE AGREEMENT.  The parties hereto acknowledge that certain provisions
     of the Investment Company Act, in effect,  treat each series of shares of a
     registered   investment   company   as  a  separate   investment   company.
     Accordingly,  the parties hereto hereby  acknowledge and agree that, to the
     extent deemed  appropriate and consistent with the Investment  Company Act,
     this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a separate  agreement  between
     the Investment  Manager and each series of shares of the Company managed by
     the Investment Manager.

13.  USE OF THE  NAMES  "AMERICAN  CENTURY"  AND  "BENHAM."  The name  "American
     Century"  and all  rights to the use of the names  "American  Century"  and
     "Benham"  are  the  exclusive   property  of  American   Century   Services
     Corporation  ("ACSC"),  an affiliate of the  Investment  Manager.  ACSC has
     consented  to, and  granted a  non-exclusive  license  for,  the use by the
     Company and their  respective  series of the names  "American  Century" and
     "Benham" in the name of the Company and any series of shares thereof.  Such
     consent and non-exclusive  license may be revoked by ACSC in its discretion
     if ACSC, the Investment  Manager, or a subsidiary or affiliate of either of
     them is not employed as the investment  manager of each series of shares of
     the Company.  In the event of such revocation,  the Company and each series
     of shares thereof using the name "American Century" or "Benham" shall cease
     using the name "American Century" or "Benham",  unless otherwise  consented
     to by ACSC or any successor to its interest in such names.


                                                                          Page 5
