(f) Not applicable
(g) On June 17, 1999, the Board of Trustees voted to approve a
breakpoint for the Fund's management/administration fee primarily
because the Fund's management/administration fee is in the top
quartile of its competitive universe. The breakpoint would result
in a reduction of the fee from 0.60% to 0.55% on assets over $2
billion. The Fund also has a breakpoint at $1 billion at which
the fee reduces from 0.65% to 0.60%.
A copy of the Management Agreement is attached as Exhibit A
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of June 18, 1999, between LIBERTY FUNDS TRUST I, a
Massachusetts business trust (Trust), with respect to COLONIAL STRATEGIC INCOME
FUND (Fund), and COLONIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES, INC., a Massachusetts
corporation (Advisor).
In consideration of the promises and covenants herein, the parties agree as
follows:
1. The Advisor will manage the investment of the assets of the Fund in
accordance with its prospectus and statement of additional information
and will perform the other services herein set forth, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The Advisor may
delegate its investment responsibilities to a sub-advisor.
2. In carrying out its investment management obligations, the Advisor shall:
(a) evaluate such economic, statistical and financial information and
undertake such investment research as it shall believe advisable; (b)
purchase and sell securities and other investments for the Fund in
accordance with the procedures described in its prospectus and statement
of additional information; and (c) report results to the Board of
Trustees of the Trust.
3. The Advisor shall furnish at its expense the following:
(a) office space, supplies, facilities and equipment; (b) executive and
other personnel for managing the affairs of the Fund (including
preparing financial information of the Fund and reports and tax returns
required to be filed with public authorities, but exclusive of those
related to custodial, transfer, dividend and plan agency services,
determination of net asset value and maintenance of records required by
Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the
rules thereunder (1940 Act)); and (c) compensation of Trustees who are
directors, officers, partners or employees of the Advisor or its
affiliated persons (other than a registered investment company).
4. The Advisor shall be free to render similar services to others so long
as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.
5. The Fund shall pay the Advisor monthly a fee at the annual rate of 0.65%
of the first $1 billion of the average daily net assets of the Fund,
0.60% on the next $1 billion and 0.55% in excess of $2 billion.
6. If the operating expenses of the Fund for any fiscal year exceed the
most restrictive applicable expense limitation for any state in which
shares are sold, the Advisor's fee shall be reduced by the excess but
not to less than zero. Operating expenses shall not include brokerage,
interest, taxes, deferred organization expenses, Rule 12b-1 distribution
fees, service fees and extraordinary expenses, if any. The Advisor may
waive its compensation (and bear expenses of the Fund) to the extent
that expenses of the Fund exceed any expense limitation the Advisor
declares to be effective.
7. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of its execution,and
(a) unless otherwise terminated, shall continue until two years from its
date of execution and from year to year thereafter so long as approved
annually in accordance with the 1940 Act; (b) may be terminated without
penalty on sixty days' written notice to the Advisor either by vote of
the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund; (c) shall automatically terminate in the
event of its assignment; and (d) may be terminated without penalty by
the Advisor on sixty days' written notice to the Trust.
8. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the 1940 Act.
9. For the purpose of the Agreement, the terms "vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares", "affiliated person" and "assignment" shall have
their respective meanings defined in the 1940 Act and exemptions and
interpretations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the 1940 Act.
10. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on
the part of the Advisor, or reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties hereunder, the Advisor shall not be subject to any liability to
the Trust or the Fund, to any shareholder of the Trust or the Fund or to
any other person, firm or organization, for any act or omission in the
course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

(the "Declaration of Trust"), of Liberty Funds Trust I, a Massachusetts
business trust established by the Declaration of Trust (the "Trust").

-----------------------------
Section 2. Shareholders
2.1 Shareholder Meetings. A meeting of the shareholders of the Trust or of
any one or more series or classes of shares may be called at any time
by the Trustees, by the president or, if the Trustees and the president
shall fail to call any meeting of shareholders for a period of 30 days
after written application of one or more shareholders who hold at least
10% of all outstanding shares of the Trust, if shareholders of all
series are required under the Declaration of Trust to vote in the
aggregate and not by individual series at such meeting, or of any
series or class, if shareholders of such series or class are entitled
under the Declaration of Trust to vote by individual series or class at
such meeting, then such shareholders may call such meeting. If the
meeting is a meeting of the shareholders of one or more series or
classes of shares, but not a meeting of all shareholders of the Trust,
then only the shareholders of such one or more series or classes shall
be entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. Each call of a
meeting shall state the place, date, hour and purpose of the meeting.
2.2 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at
the principal office of the Trust, or, to the extent permitted by the
Declaration of Trust, at such other place within the United States as
shall be designated by the Trustees or the president of the Trust.
2.3 Notice of Meetings. A written notice of each meeting of shareholders,
stating the place, date and hour and the purposes of the meeting, shall
be given at least seven days before the meeting to each shareholder
entitled to vote thereat by leaving such notice with him or her or at
his or her residence or usual place of business or by mailing it,
postage prepaid, and addressed to such shareholder at his or her
address as it appears in the records of the Trust. Such notice shall be
given by the secretary or an assistant secretary or by an officer
designated by the Trustees. No notice of any meeting of shareholders
need be given to a shareholder if a written waiver of notice, executed
before or after the meeting by such shareholder or his or her attorney
thereunto duly authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting.
2.4 Ballots. No ballot shall be required for any election unless requested
by a shareholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to
vote in the election.
2.5 Proxies. Shareholders entitled to vote may vote either in person or by
proxy in writing dated not more than six months before the meeting
named therein, which proxies shall be filed with the secretary or other
person responsible to record the proceedings of the meeting before
being voted. Unless otherwise specifically limited by their terms, such
proxies shall entitle the holders thereof to vote at any adjournment of
such meeting but shall not be valid after the final adjournment of such
meeting. The placing of a shareholder's name on a proxy pursuant to
telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions obtained pursuant
to procedures reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have
been authorized by such shareholder shall constitute execution of such
proxy by or on behalf of such shareholder.
Section 3. Trustees
3.1 Committees and Advisory Board. The Trustees may appoint from their
number an executive committee and other committees. Except as the
Trustees may otherwise determine, any such committee may make rules for
conduct of its business. The Trustees may appoint an advisory board to
consist of not less than two nor more than five members. The members of
the advisory board shall be compensated in such manner as the Trustees
may determine and shall confer with and advise the Trustees regarding
the investments and other affairs of the Trust. Each member of the
advisory board shall hold office until the first meeting of the
Trustees following the next meeting of the shareholders and until his
or her successor is elected and qualified, or until he or she sooner
dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified, or until the
advisory board is sooner abolished by the Trustees.
In addition, the Trustees may appoint a Dividend Committee of not less
than three persons, who may (but need not) be Trustees.
No special compensation shall be payable to members of the Dividend
Committee. Each member of the Dividend Committee will hold office until
the successors are elected and qualified or until the member dies,
resigns, is removed, becomes disqualified or until the Committee is
abolished by the Trustees.
3.2 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Trustees may be held without
call or notice at such places and at such times as the Trustees may
from time to time determine, provided that notice of the first regular
meeting following any such determination shall be given to absent
Trustees.
3.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Trustees may be held at any
time and at any place designated in the call of the meeting, when
called by the president or the treasurer or by two or more Trustees,
sufficient notice thereof being given to each Trustee by the secretary
or an assistant secretary or by the officer or one of the Trustees
calling the meeting.
3.4 Notice. It shall be sufficient notice to a Trustee to send notice by
mail at least forty-eight hours or by telegram at least twenty-four
hours before the meeting addressed to the Trustee at his or her usual
or last known business or residence address or to give notice to him or
her in person or by telephone at least twenty-four hours before the
meeting. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Trustee if a
written waiver of notice, executed by him or her before or after the
meeting, is filed with the records of the meeting, or to any Trustee
who attends the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its
commencement the lack of notice to him or her. Neither notice of a
meeting nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the
meeting.
3.5 Quorum. At any meeting of the Trustees one-third of the Trustees then
in office shall constitute a quorum; provided, however, a quorum shall
not be less than two. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by
a majority of the votes cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum
is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further
notice.

but none need be a Trustee or shareholder. Any two or more offices may
be held by the same person.
4.2 Powers. Subject to the other provisions of these By-Laws, each officer
shall have, in addition to the duties and powers herein and in the
Declaration of Trust set forth, such duties and powers as are commonly
incident to his or her office as if the Trust were organized as a
Massachusetts business corporation and such other duties and powers as
the Trustees may from time to time designate, including without
limitation the power to make purchases and sales of portfolio
securities of the Trust pursuant to recommendations of the Trust's
investment adviser in accordance with the policies and objectives of
that series of shares set forth in its prospectus and with such general
or specific instructions as the Trustees may from time to time have
issued.
4.3 Election. The president, the treasurer and the secretary shall be
elected annually by the Trustees. Other elected officers are elected by
the Trustees. Assistant officers are appointed by the elected officers.
4.4 Tenure. The president, the treasurer and the secretary shall hold
office until their respective successors are chosen and qualified, or
in each case until he or she sooner dies, resigns, is removed or
becomes disqualified. Each other officer shall hold office at the
pleasure of the Trustees. Each agent shall retain his or her authority
at the pleasure of the Trustees.
4.5 President and Vice Presidents. The president shall be the chief
executive officer of the Trust. The president shall preside at all
meetings of the shareholders and of the Trustees at which he or she is
present, except as otherwise voted by the Trustees. Any vice president
shall have such duties and powers as shall be designated from time to
time by the Trustees.
4.6 Treasurer and Controller. The treasurer shall be the chief financial
officer of the Trust and subject to any arrangement made by the
Trustees with a bank or trust company or other organization as
custodian or transfer or shareholder services agent, shall be in charge
of its valuable papers and shall have such other duties and powers as
may be designated from time to time by the Trustees or by the
president. Any assistant treasurer shall have such duties and powers as
shall be designated from time to time by the Trustees.
The controller shall be the chief accounting officer of the Trust and
shall be in charge of its books of account and accounting records. The
controller shall be responsible for preparation of financial statements
of the Trust and shall have such other duties and powers as may be
designated from time to time by the Trustees or the president.
4.7 Secretary and Assistant Secretaries. The secretary shall record all
proceedings of the shareholders and the Trustees in books to be kept
therefor, which books shall be kept at the principal office of the
Trust. In the absence of the secretary from any meeting of shareholders
or Trustees, an assistant secretary, or if there be none or he or she
is absent, a temporary clerk chosen at the meeting shall record the
proceedings thereof in the aforesaid books.
Section 5. Resignations and Removals
Any Trustee, officer or advisory board member may resign at any time by
delivering his or her resignation in writing to the president, the treasurer or
the secretary or to a meeting of the Trustees. The Trustees may remove any
officer elected by them with or without cause by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees then in office. Except to the extent expressly provided in a written
agreement with the Trust, no Trustee, officer, or advisory board member
resigning, and no officer or advisory board member removed shall have any right
to any compensation for any period following his or her resignation or removal,
or any right to damages on account of such removal.
Section 6. Vacancies
A vacancy in any office may be filled at any time. Each successor shall hold
office for the unexpired term, and in the case of the presidents, the treasurer
and the secretary, until his or her successor is chosen and qualified, or in
each case until he or she sooner dies, resigns, is removed or becomes
disqualified.
Section 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest
7.1 Share Certificates. No certificates certifying the ownership of shares
shall be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise authorize. In the
event that the Trustees authorize the issuance of share certificates,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, each shareholder shall be
entitled to a certificate stating the number of shares owned by him or
her, in such form as shall be prescribed from time to time by the
Trustees. Such certificate shall be signed by the president or a vice
president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer. Such
signatures may be facsimiles if the certificate is signed by a transfer
agent or by a registrar, other than a Trustee, officer or employee of
the Trust. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be
such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Trust with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the
time of its issue.
In lieu of issuing certificates for shares, the Trustees or the
transfer agent may either issue receipts therefor or keep accounts upon
the books of the Trust for the record holders of such shares, who shall
in either case be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders
of certificates for such shares as if they had accepted such
certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to
the terms hereof.
7.2 Loss of Certificates. In the case of the alleged loss or destruction or
the mutilation of a share certificate, a duplicate certificate may be
issued in place thereof, upon such terms as the Trustees may prescribe.
7.3 Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates. The Trustees may at any
time discontinue the issuance of share certificates and may, by written
notice to each shareholder, require the surrender of share certificates
to the Trust for cancellation. Such surrender and cancellation shall
not affect the ownership of shares in the Trust.
Section 8. Record Date and Closing Transfer Books
The Trustees may fix in advance a time, which shall not be more than 90 days
before the date of any meeting of shareholders or the date for the payment of
any dividend or making of any other distribution to shareholders, as the record
date for determining the shareholders having the right to notice and to vote at
such meeting and any adjournment thereof or the right to receive such dividend
or distribution, and in such case only shareholders of record on such record
date shall have such right, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books
of the Trust after the record date; or without fixing such record date the
Trustees may for any of such purposes close the transfer books for all or any
part of such period.
Section 9. Seal
The seal of the Trust shall, subject to alteration by the Trustees, consist of a
flat-faced circular die with the word "Massachusetts" together with the name of
the Trust and the year of its organization, cut or engraved thereon; but, unless
otherwise required by the Trustees, the seal shall not be necessary to be placed
on, and its absence shall not impair the validity of, any document, instrument
or other paper executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trust.
Section 10. Execution of Papers
Except as the Trustees may generally or in particular cases authorize the
execution thereof in some other manner, all deeds, leases, transfers, contracts,
bonds, notes, checks, drafts and other obligations made, accepted or endorsed by
the Trust shall be signed, and all transfers of securities standing in the name
of the Trust shall be executed, by the president or by one of the vice
presidents or by the treasurer or by whomsoever else shall be designated for
that purpose by the vote of the Trustees and need not bear the seal of the
Trust.
Section 11. Fiscal Year
Except as from time to time otherwise provided by the Trustees, President,
Secretary, Controller or Treasurer, the fiscal year of the Trust shall end on
December 31.
Section 12. Amendments
These By-Laws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by a majority of
the Trustees then in office at any meeting of the Trustees, or by one or more
writings signed by such a majority.
