Ladies and Gentlemen:

     By our execution of this letter agreement (the  "Agreement"),  intending to

Management  Business Trust (the "Manager"),  agrees that in order to improve the
performance of the municipal bond funds listed in the table below (collectively,
the  "Funds"),  the  Manager  shall  waive  all or a portion  of its  investment
advisory fees and/or  reimburse  expenses  (excluding  any 12b-1 plan  expenses,
taxes,  interest,  inverse floater program expenses,  brokerage fees, short-sale
dividend and interest expenses, certain insurance costs and non-routine expenses
or costs,  including  but not limited  to,  those  relating to  reorganizations,
litigation,  conducting  shareholder  meetings and  liquidations  (collectively,
"non-routine expenses")) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the
Funds' respective total operating  expenses  (excluding any 12b-1 plan expenses,

liquidity  fees,  and  trustees'  fees from a Fund's  participation  in  inverse
floater  programs where it has  transferred its own bonds to a trust that issues
the inverse floaters.
