Street Income Securities, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1998, we
considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the internal
control.
The management of Montgomery Street Income Securities, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are
relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial
statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to
future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation may
deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more
of the specific internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and
its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above at December 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Directors and
management of Montgomery Street Income Securities, Inc. and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

4. The Fund agrees to pay to the Manager, as full compensation
for the services to be rendered and expenses to be borne by the Manager
hereunder, an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to .50 of 1% of the value of
the net assets of the Fund up to and including $150 million; .45 of 1% of the
value of the net assets of the Fund over $150 million and up to and including
$200 million; and .40 of 1% of the value of the net assets of the Fund over $200
million. For purposes of computing the monthly fee, the value of the net assets
of the Fund shall be determined as of the close of business on the last business
day of each month; provided, however, that the fee for the period from the end
of the last month ending prior to termination of this Agreement, for whatever
reason, to the date of termination shall be based on
3
<PAGE>
the value of the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of business
on the date of termination, and the fee for such period and for the period from
the effective date of this Agreement through the end of the month in which the
effective date falls will be prorated according to the proportion which such
period bears to a full monthly period. Each payment of a monthly fee to the
Manager shall be made within the ten days next following the day as of which
such payment is so computed.
5. (a) In the event the expenses of the Fund, including
amounts payable to the Manager pursuant to paragraph 4 hereof (but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses), exceed one
and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the first thirty million dollars ($30,000,000)
of the average net assets of the Fund, plus one percent (1%) of the average net
assets of the Fund in excess of $30,000,000, in each case computed by dividing
(i) the sum of the net asset values of the Fund as of the last business day of
each week of such fiscal year or of each week during such fiscal year during
which this Agreement was in effect, as the case may be, by (ii) the number of
weeks of such fiscal year or the number of weeks (including a partial week)
during which the Agreement is in effect during such fiscal year, as the case may
be, the Manager shall pay to the Fund the amount of such excess as soon as
practicable after the end of such fiscal year, and in all events prior to the
publication of the annual report of the Fund for such fiscal year; provided,
however, that the Manager shall not be obligated to pay any amount to the Fund
during any fiscal year in excess of the amount of the advisory fee for such
fiscal year.
(b) At the end of each month of each fiscal year of the Fund,
the Manager shall review the expenses of the Fund as outlined in subparagraph
(a) of this paragraph 5 which have accrued to and including the period ending
with such month and shall estimate such contemplated expenses to the end of such
fiscal year. If, as a result of such review and estimate, it appears likely that
the expense limitation provided for in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 5 will
be exceeded for such fiscal year, the Manager's fee for such month, as provided
in paragraph 4 hereof, shall be reduced, subject to later adjustment, by an
amount equal to a pro rata portion (prorated on the basis of the remaining
months of the year including the month just ending) of the amount by which the
sum of such expenses of the Fund for such fiscal year are expected to exceed the
expense limitation.
(c) If, for any fiscal year of the Fund ending on a date on
which this Agreement is in effect, the expenses of the Fund which are includable
within the expense limitation described in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 5
(but reduced by an amount, if any, payable by the Manager pursuant to
subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 5), exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the
gross income of the Fund for such fiscal year, the Manager will pay the amount
of such excess to the Fund promptly and in all events prior to the publication
of the Fund's annual report for such fiscal year; provided, however, that the
Manager shall not be obligated to pay any amount to the Fund during any fiscal
year in excess of the amount of the advisory fee for such fiscal year. For
purposes of this subparagraph (c), "gross income of the Fund" shall include, but
not be limited to, gains from the sale of securities, without offset or
deduction for losses from the sale of securities, unpaid interest on debt
securities in the Fund's portfolio, accrued to and including the last day of
such fiscal year, and dividends declared but not paid on equity securities in
the Fund's portfolio, the record dates for which fall on or prior to the last
day of such fiscal year.
6. The services of the Manager to the Fund are not to be
deemed exclusive, and the Manager shall be free to engage in any other business
or to render investment advisory or management services of any kind to any other
corporation, firm, trust, individual or association, including any other
investment company, so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.
Nothing in this
4
<PAGE>
Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer or employee
of the Manager to engage in any other business or to devote his time and
attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business,
whether of a similar or dissimilar nature.
7. Subject to paragraph 8 hereof, the Manager shall not be
responsible for any action of the Board of Directors of the Fund or any
committee thereof in following or declining to follow any advice or
recommendation of the Manager. The Manager shall be entitled to rely on express
written instructions of the President or any Vice President of the Fund or of a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Fund.
8. Neither the Manager, nor any director, officer, agent or
employee of the Manager shall be liable or responsible to the Fund or its
stockholders except for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of their respective duties. The Fund will hold the Manager
harmless against judgments, but not expenses of defense or settlements, rendered
against the Manager which (a) result from specific actions or omissions by the
Manager in respect of the performance of its obligations hereunder, which
specific acts or omissions occur as a result of express written instructions of
the President or any Vice President of the Fund or of a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Fund, and (b) arise in actions in which there is an express
finding that such specific acts or omissions did not constitute willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duty.
9. The Manager shall not be liable or responsible for any acts
or omissions of any predecessor manager or of any other persons having
responsibility for matters to which this Agreement relates, nor shall the
Manager be responsible for reviewing any such acts or omissions. The Manager
shall, however, be liable for its own acts and omissions subsequent to assuming
responsibility under this Agreement as herein provided.
10. This Agreement shall remain in effect until July 31, 1999,
unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall continue
in effect from year to year thereafter provided its continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund or by vote of the Board of Directors of the Fund, and by
a majority of the Board of Directors of the Fund who are not parties to this
Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of
any party to this Agreement, which vote must be cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on approval of the terms of this Agreement and
its continuance; provided, however, that (a) the Fund may, at any time and
without the payment of any penalty, terminate this Agreement upon sixty days'
written notice to the Manager either by majority vote of the Board of Directors
of the Fund or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Fund; (b) this Agreement shall immediately terminate in the event of its
assignment (within the meaning of the Investment Company Act) unless such
automatic termination shall be prevented by an exemptive order of the Securities
and Exchange Commission; and (c) the Manager may terminate this Agreement
without payment of penalty on sixty days' written notice to the Fund. All
notices or communications hereunder shall be in writing and if sent to the
Manager shall be mailed by first class mail, or delivered, or telegraphed or
telexed and confirmed in writing to the Manager at 345 Park Avenue, New York,
New York 10154, Attn: Juris Padegs, or at such other address as the Manager

confirmed in writing to the Fund at 101 California Street, Suite 4100, San
