Re: Expense Limitation Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Institutional Social Equity Fund or will reimburse such series for all expenses
payable by that series to the extent necessary so that the series' aggregate
expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes and other
extraordinary expenses), net of waivers and reimbursements, would not exceed on
a per annum basis 0.30% of that series' average daily net assets.
The agreement in this letter shall take effect on the date hereof, and
shall remain in effect until November 30, 2001.
