Fund seeks to achieve its objective by looking at the Fund's strategy and
investment policies. The Fund's Board of Trustees can change the investment
objective without a shareholder vote.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
How does the Fund go about trying to meet its goals? What types of investments
does it contain? What style of investing and investment philosophy does it
follow? Does it have limits on the amount invested in any particular type of
security?

RISK FACTORS
What are the specific risks for an investor in the Fund?

PERFORMANCE
How well has the Fund performed in the past year? The past five years? The past
ten years?

EXPENSES
How much does it cost to invest in the Fund? What is the difference between
sales charges and expenses?

                             OVERVIEW OF FUND RISKS
Money Market Funds


typically rely on a combination of the following strategies:
.. maintaining $1.00 per share net asset value;
.. investing in high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including
   U.S. government securities;
.. investing in compliance with industry-standard requirements for money
   market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments;
   and
.. selling a portfolio investment when: i) the issuers' investment
   fundamentals begin to deteriorate; ii) to take advantage of more attractive
   yield opportunities; iii) when the investment no longer appears to meet the
   Fund's investment objective; iv) when the Fund must meet redemptions; or v)
   for other investment reasons which the portfolio manager deems necessary.

may be appropriate for investors who:
.. are seeking a conservative investment which invests in relatively safe
   securities;
.. are seeking a fund for short-term investment; and
.. are seeking liquidity.

Following this overview, you will find information on each Fund's specific
investment strategies and risks.

.................................................................................

 Risk Factors for All Mutual Funds
 Please remember that mutual fund
 investment shares are:
.. not guaranteed to achieve their investment goal
.. not a deposit with a bank
.. not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency
.. subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original
   investment

 Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
 share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

Here are the most important factors that may affect the value of your
investment:

Interest Rate Risk

When interest rates go up, the value of debt securities tends to fall. Since
your Fund invests a significant portion of its portfolio in debt securities, if
interest rates rise, then the value of your investment may decline. When
interest rates go down, interest earned by your Fund on its investments may
also decline, which could cause the Fund to reduce the dividends it pays.

Credit Risk

The value of a debt security is directly affected by the issuer's ability to
repay principal and pay interest on time. Since your Fund invests in debt
securities, the value of your investment may decline if an issuer fails to pay
an obligation on a timely basis.

Concentration Risk

An investment in a Fund that concentrates its investments in a single state
entails greater risk than an investment in a Fund that invests its assets in
numerous states. The Fund may be vulnerable to any development in its named
state's economy that may weaken or jeopardize the ability of the state's
municipal bond issuers to pay interest and principal on their debt obligations.

Non-Diversification Risk

An investment in a Fund that is non-diversified entails greater risk than an
investment in a diversified fund. When a Fund is non-diversified, there is no
limit on the percentage of assets that can be invested in any single issuer. A
higher percentage of investments among fewer issuers may result in greater
fluctuation in the total market value of the Fund's portfolio.

                                                                               1

                      Florida Municipal Money Market Fund

 FUND FACTS:

 Goals:
.. High Current Income Exempt from Federal and State Tax
.. Stability of Principal
.. Maintain Liquidity

 Principal Investment:
.. Municipal Money Market Securities

 Class of Shares Offered in this Prospectus:
.. Class S

 Investment Advisor:
.. Evergreen Asset Management Corp.

 Dividend Payment Schedule:
.. Monthly

.................................................................................

   INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to provide Florida residents an investment that is, to the
extent possible, exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax and
to seek as high a level of current income exempt from regular federal income
taxes, as is believed to be consistent with the preservation of capital,
maintenance of liquidity and stability of principal.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in high quality short-term debt
obligations issued by the state of Florida and possessions of the U.S. and
their political subdivisions, which are exempt from federal income tax other
than the alternative minimum tax and exempt from the Florida intangible
personal property tax, and are determined to present minimal credit risk. The
Fund invests in municipal money market securities, including fixed, variable or
floating rate general obligation and revenue bonds; tax, bond and revenue
anticipation notes; and commercial paper obligations.

The Fund will comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Rule
2a-7. However, the Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a
significant percentage of its assets in obligations of a single issuer. In
determining what securities to purchase for the Fund, the portfolio manager
focuses on the supply and demand of the security in the market place as well as
the current interest rate environment.

The Fund may temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable
securities under one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending
investment of proceeds from sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities; (b)
pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to maintain
liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund may
temporarily invest up to 100% of its total assets in taxable securities for
defensive purposes which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objective.

   RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

.. Interest Rate Risk
.. Credit Risk
.. Concentration Risk
.. Non-Diversification Risk

The performance of the Fund is influenced by the political, economic and
statutory environment within the State of Florida. The Fund invests in
obligations of Florida issuers, which results in the Fund's performance being
subject to risks associated with the most current conditions within the state.
Some of these conditions include state budgetary problems associated with the
state's growing population, its reliance on tourism, and the impact which both
of these factors may have on the state's tax base and revenues. These and other
factors may cause rating agencies to downgrade the credit ratings on certain
issues.

For further information on the factors that could affect the ability of Florida
bond issuers to pay interest and principal on securities acquired by the Fund,
see "Additional Information Concerning Florida" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategies and risk
factors see "Other Fund Practices."

of each Class will differ only to the extent that the Classes do not have the
same expenses. Year-by-Year Total Return and Average Annual Total Return
include the effects of Rule 12b-1 fees and expenses. These Rule 12b-1 fees are
0.30% for Class A and 0.60% for Class S. If Class S had been in existence for
the periods presented above, its total returns would have been lower.

   INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of current income as is consistent
with preserving capital and providing liquidity.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1.

The Fund invests in money market securities including certificates of deposit
and bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations, short-
term corporate obligations and repurchase agreements determined to present
minimal credit risk.

The Fund invests principally in short-term corporate debt securities determined
to present minimal credit risk. In addition, the Fund may invest in short-term
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or
instrumentalities, including the Interamerican Development Bank and the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Fund may also invest
in commercial paper and bank obligations. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its
total assets in bank certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances payable
in U.S. dollars and issued by foreign banks (including U.S. branches of foreign
banks) or by foreign branches of U.S. banks.

The portfolio manager focuses primarily on the interest rate environment in
determining which securities to purchase for the Fund. Generally, in a rising
rate environment, the Fund will invest in securities of shorter maturities. If
interest rates are high, the Fund will invest in securities with longer
maturities; however, the Fund will not acquire any security with a remaining
maturity of greater than 397 days.

   RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

.. Interest Rate Risk
.. Credit Risk

Because obligations of the Interamerican Development Bank and the International
Bank of Reconstruction and Development are supported only by appropriated but
unpaid commitments of member countries, there is no assurance that the
commitments will be paid in the future. In addition, foreign branches of U.S.
banks and foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements
than those applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategies and risk
factors see "Other Fund Practices."

The Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of current income exempt from federal
income tax, as is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

including fixed, variable or floating rate general obligation and revenue
bonds; tax, bond and revenue anticipation notes; and commercial paper

The Fund invests in municipal money market securities determined to present
minimal credit risk and issued by any U.S. state and the District of Columbia
and their political subdivisions. In determining what securities to purchase
for the Fund, the portfolio manager focuses on the supply and demand of the
security in the market place as well as the current interest rate environment.

The Fund may also temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable
securities under one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending
investment of proceeds from sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities; (b)
pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to maintain
liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund may
temporarily invest up to 100% of its total assets in taxable securities for
defensive purposes which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objective.

                     New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund


 FUND FACTS:

 Goal:
.. High Current Income Exempt from Federal and State Tax
.. Maintain Liquidity
.. Stability of Principal

 Principal Investment:
.. Municipal Money Market Securities

 Class of Shares Offered in this Prospectus:
.. Class S

 Investment Advisor:
.. Evergreen Asset Management Corp.

 Dividend Payment Schedule:
.. Monthly

.................................................................................

   INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of current income exempt from regular
federal income tax and, to the extent possible, from New Jersey gross income
tax, as is believed to be consistent with the preservation of capital,
maintenance of liquidity and stability of principal.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal money market
securities issued by the state of New Jersey, possessions of the U.S. and their
political subdivisions, which are exempt from federal income tax other than the
alternative minimum tax and exempt from the New Jersey gross income tax, and
are determined to present minimal credit risk. The Fund invests in municipal
money market securities, including fixed, variable or floating rate general
obligation and revenue bonds; tax, bond and revenue anticipation notes; and
commercial paper obligations.

The Fund will comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Rule
2a-7. However, the Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a
significant percentage of its assets in obligations of a single issuer. In
determining what securities to purchase for the Fund, the portfolio manager
focuses on the supply and demand of the security in the market place as well as
the current interest rate environment.

The Fund may temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable
securities under one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending
investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities;
(b) pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to
maintain liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund
may temporarily invest up to 100% of its total assets in taxable securities for
defensive purposes which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objective.

   RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

.. Interest Risk
.. Credit Risk
.. Concentration Risk
.. Non-Diversification Risk

The performance of the Fund is influenced by the political, economic and
statutory environment within the State of New Jersey. The Fund invests in
obligations of New Jersey issuers, which results in the Fund's performance
being subject to risks associated with the most current conditions within the
state. Some of these conditions include the state's slowing growth rate since
1987 and the job losses which have occurred in certain sectors of New Jersey's
economy. These and other factors may cause rating agencies to downgrade the
credit ratings on certain issues.

For further information on the factors that could affect the ability of the New
Jersey bond issuers to pay interest and principal on securities acquired by the
Fund, see "Additional Information Concerning New Jersey" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategies and risk
factors see "Other Fund Practices."

                    Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund


 FUND FACTS:

 Goals:
.. High Current Income Exempt from Federal Tax
.. Preservation of Capital
.. Liquidity

 Principal Investment:
.. Municipal Money Market Securities

 Class of Shares Offered in this Prospectus:
.. Class S

 Investment Advisor:
.. Evergreen Investment Management

 Dividend Payment Schedule:

.................................................................................

   INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income
exempt from regular federal income tax, as is consistent with preservation of
capital and providing liquidity.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal money market
securities issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, possessions of the U.S.
and their political subdivisions, which are exempt from federal income tax
other than the alternative minimum tax and exempt from the Pennsylvania income
tax, and are determined to present minimal credit risk. The Fund invests in
municipal money market securities, including fixed, variable or floating rate
general obligation and revenue bonds; tax, bond and revenue anticipation notes;
and commercial paper obligations.

The Fund will comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Rule
2a-7. However, the Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a
significant percentage of its assets in obligations of a single issuer. In
determining what securities to purchase for the Fund, the portfolio manager
focuses on the supply and demand of the security in the market place as well as
the current interest rate environment.

The Fund may temporarily invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable
securities under one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending
investment of proceeds from sale of Fund shares or of portfolio securities; (b)
pending settlement of purchases of portfolio securities, and (c) to maintain
liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated redemptions. The Fund may
temporarily invest up to 100% of its total assets in taxable securities for
defensive purposes which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objective.

   RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

.. Interest Rate Risk
.. Credit Risk
.. Concentration Risk
.. Non-Diversification Risk

The performance of the Fund is influenced by the political, economic and
statutory environment within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Fund invests
in obligations of Pennsylvania issuers, which results in the Fund's performance
being subject to risks associated with the most current conditions within the
Commonwealth. Some of these conditions include adverse changes to the
statewide, regional or local economies which affect the creditworthiness of the
Commonwealth and certain other non-governmental related issuers and may cause
rating agencies to downgrade the credit ratings on certain issues.

For further information on the factors that could affect the ability of the
bond issuers to pay interest and principal on securities acquired by the Fund,
see "Additional Information Concerning Pennsylvania" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

For further information regarding the Fund's investment strategies and risk
factors see "Other Fund Practices."

.................................................................................

   INVESTMENT GOAL

The Fund seeks to maintain stability of principal while earning current income.

   INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The following supplements the investment strategies discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1.

The Fund will invest in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations (with an average
maturity of 60 days or less) and repurchase agreements backed by such
obligations. U.S. Treasury securities are guaranteed as to principal and
interest, and supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
The portfolio manager focuses primarily on the interest rate environment in
determining which securities to purchase for the Fund. Generally, in a rising
rate environment, the Fund will invest in securities of shorter maturities. If
interest rates are high, the Fund will invest in securities with longer
maturities; however, the Fund will not acquire any security with a remaining
maturity of greater than 397 days.

   RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the Fund is subject to the risks discussed in the "Overview
of Fund Risks" on page 1 under the headings:

CALCULATING THE SHARE PRICE

The value of one share of a Fund, also known as the net asset value, or NAV, is
calculated twice daily on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open at 12
noon (Eastern time) and as of the time the Exchange closes (normally 4 p.m.
Eastern time). The Fund calculates the share price for each share by adding up
its total assets, subtracting all liabilities, then dividing the result by the
total number of shares outstanding. Each class of shares is calculated
separately. Each security held by a Fund is valued on an amortized cost basis
according to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under this
method of valuation, a security is initially valued at its acquisition cost,
and thereafter a contstant straightline amortization of any discount or premium
is assumed each day regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the security.

The price per share you pay for a Fund purchase or the amount you receive for a
Fund redemption is based on the next price calculated after the order is
received and all required information is provided. The value of your account at
any given time is the latest share price multiplied by the number of shares you
own.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN EVERGREEN FUND

When choosing an Evergreen Fund, you should:
.. Most importantly, read the prospectus to see if the Fund is suitable for you.

.. Consider talking to an investment professional. He or she is qualified to
  give you investment advice based on your investment goals and financial
  situation and will be able to answer questions you may have after reading the
  Fund's prospectus. He or she can also assist you through all phases of
  opening your account.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SHARE CLASS THAT BEST SUITS YOU

After choosing a Fund, you select a share class. Each Fund offers up to five
different share classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class S. Only
Class S shares are offered in this prospectus.

Each Fund offers Class S shares at net asset value (NAV) without an initial
sales charge or a deferred sales charge. However, Class S shares are subject to
0.60% 12b-1 fees. There are no investment minimums on Class S shares.

HOW TO BUY AND REDEEM SHARES

Class S shares of each Fund are sold at net asset value (NAV) through certain
broker-dealers and financial institutions with selling agreements for EDI. You
can redeem your Class S shares of each Fund at NAV through certain broker-
dealers and financial institutions with selling agreements for EDI on any day
the New York Stock Exchange is open pursuant to the Fund's procedures.
Investors should refer to their broker-dealer or financial institution as
appropriate for instruction and further information.

OTHER SERVICES

Automatic Reinvestment of Dividends
For the convenience of investors, all dividends and capital gains distributions
are automatically reinvested, unless you request otherwise. Distributions can
be made by check or electronic transfer through the Automated Clearing House to
your bank account. The details of your dividends and other distributions will
be included on your statement.

Reinvestment Privileges
Under certain circumstances, shareholders may, within one year of redemption,
reinstate their accounts at the current price. This is the Fund's net asset
value, also sometimes referred to as the Fund's "NAV".

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

You may be taxed in two ways:
.. On Fund distributions (dividends and capital gains)
.. On any profit you make when you sell any or all of your shares.

Fund Distributions
A mutual fund passes along to all of its shareholders the net income or profits
it receives from its investments. The shareholders of the fund then pay any
taxes due, whether they receive these distributions in cash or elect to have
them reinvested. The Florida Municipal Money Market Fund, Municipal Money
Market Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund and Pennsylvania Municipal
Money Market Fund expect that substantially all of their regular dividends will
be exempt from federal income tax other than the alternative minimum tax.
Otherwise, the Funds will distribute two types of taxable income to you:

.. Dividends. To the extent the regular dividends are derived from interest that
  is not tax-exempt, or from short-term capital gains, you will have to include
  them in your federal taxable income. Each Fund pays a monthly dividend from
  the dividends, interest and other income on the securities in which it
  invests.

.. Capital Gains. When a mutual fund sells a security it owns for a profit, the
  result is a capital gain. The Funds generally distribute capital gains, if
  any, at least once a year, near the end of the calendar year. Short-term
  capital gains reflect securities held by the Fund for a year or less and are
  considered ordinary income just like dividends. Profits on securities held
  longer than 12 months are considered long-term capital gains and are taxed at
  a special tax rate (20% for most taxpayers.)

Dividend and Capital Gain Reinvestment
Unless you choose otherwise on the account application, all dividend and
capital gain payments will be reinvested to buy additional shares. Distribution
checks that are returned and distribution checks that are uncashed when the
shareholder has failed to respond to mailings from

                                                              MONEY MARKET FUNDS

                                                                              15

                                   EVERGREEN

the shareholder servicing agent will automatically be reinvested to buy
additional shares.

No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution or
redemption checks.

We will send you a statement each January with the federal tax status of
dividends and distributions paid by each Fund during the previous calendar
year.

Profits You Realize When You Redeem Shares
When you sell shares in a mutual fund, whether by redeeming or exchanging, you
have created a taxable event. You must report any gain or loss on your tax
return unless the transaction was entered into by a tax-deferred retirement
plan. Investments in money market funds typically do not generate capital
gains. It is your responsibility to keep accurate records of your mutual fund
transactions. You will need this information when you file your income tax
return, since you must report any capital gains or losses you incur when you
sell shares. Remember, an exchange is a purchase and a sale for tax purposes.

Tax Reporting
Your broker-dealer or financial institution provides you with a tax statement
of your dividend and capital gains distributions for each calendar year on Form
1099 DIV. Proceeds from a sale are reported on Form 1099B. You must report
these on your tax return. Since the IRS receives a copy as well, you could pay
a penalty if you neglect to report them.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUNDS

Every mutual fund has fees and expenses that are assessed either directly or
indirectly. This section describes each of those fees.

Management Fee
The management fee pays for the normal expenses of managing the fund, including
portfolio manager salaries, research costs, corporate overhead expenses and
related expenses.

12b-1 Fees
The Trustees of the Evergreen Funds have approved a policy to assess 12b-1 fees
for Class S shares. Up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class S
shares may be payable as 12b-1 fees. However, currently the 12b-1 fees for
Class S shares are limited to 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the
class. These fees increase the cost of your investment. The purpose of the 12b-
1 fees is to promote the sale of more shares of the Fund to the public. The
Fund may use the 12b-1 fees for advertising and marketing and as a "service
fee" to the broker-dealer for additional shareholder services.

Other Expenses
Other expenses include miscellaneous fees from affiliated and outside service
providers. These may include legal, audit, custodial and safekeeping fees, the
printing and mailing of reports and statements, automatic reinvestment of
distributions and other conveniences for which the shareholder pays no
transaction fees.

Total Fund Operating Expenses
The total cost of running the Fund is called the expense ratio. As a
shareholder, you are not charged these fees directly; instead they are taken
out before the Fund's net asset value is calculated, and are expressed as a
percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets. The effect of these fees is
reflected in the performance results for that share class. Because these fees
are "invisible," investors should examine them closely in the prospectus,
especially when comparing one fund with another fund in the same investment
category. There are three things to remember about expense ratios: 1) your
total return in the Fund is reduced in direct proportion to the fees; 2)
expense ratios can vary greatly between funds and fund families, from under
0.25% to over 3.00%; and 3) a Fund's advisor may waive a portion of the Fund's
expenses for a period of time, reducing its expense ratio.

OTHER FUND PRACTICES

Taxable securities in which Florida Municipal Money Market Fund, Municipal
Money Market Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund and Pennsylvania
Municipal Money Market Fund may invest on a short-term basis include
obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
including repurchase agreements with banks or securities dealers involving such
securities; time deposits maturing in not more than seven days; other debt
securities rated within the two highest rating categories by any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization; commercial paper rated in the
highest grade by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services; and certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of U.S. banks
with assets of $1 billion or more.

MONEY MARKET FUNDS

<PAGE>

                                   EVERGREEN

The Funds may invest in futures and options. Such practices are used to hedge a
Fund's portfolio to protect against changes in interest rates, to adjust a
portfolios duration, to maintain a Fund's exposure to its market, to manage
cash or to attempt to increase income. Although this is intended to increase
returns, those practices may actually reduce returns or increase volatility.

Florida Municipal Money Market Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund and
Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund do not intend to concentrate their
investments in any one industry. However, from time to time, a Fund may invest
25% or more of its total assets in municipal securities which are related in
such a way that an economic, business or political development or change
affecting one such obligation would also affect the others. Two examples of
obligations related in this way are (i) an obligation, the interest on which is
paid from revenues of similar type projects and (ii) obligations whose issuers
are located in the same state. Because the taxable money market is a broader
and more liquid market, and has a greater number of investors, issuers and
market makers than the
market for short-term tax exempt municipal securities, the liquidity of the
fund may not be equal to that of a money market fund which invests exclusively
in short-term taxable money market instruments. The more limited marketability
of short-term tax exempt municipal securities may make it difficult in certain
circumstances to dispose of large investments advantageously.

Please consult the Statement of Additional Information for more information
regarding these and other investment practices used by the Funds, including
risks.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

         This  Administrative  Services  Agreement is made as of this 3rd day of
January,  2000 between  Evergreen Money Market Trust, a Delaware  business trust

registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

         WHEREAS,  the Trust  desires  to  retain  EIS as its  Administrator  to
provide  it with  administrative  services  and EIS is  willing  to render  such

of this Agreement in consideration of the compensation provided for in Section 4
hereof.

2. SERVICES AND DUTIES.  As  Administrator,  and subject to the  supervision and
control of the Trustees of the Trust,  EIS will  hereafter  provide  facilities,
equipment and personnel to carry out the following  administrative  services for
operation of the business and affairs of the Trust and each of its series:

         (a)  Prepare,  file  and  maintain  the  Trust's  governing  documents,
         including the  Declaration of Trust (which has previously been prepared
         and  filed),   the  By  laws,  minutes  of  meetings  of  Trustees  and
         shareholders, and proxy statements for meetings of shareholders;

         (b) Prepare and file with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and
         the  appropriate   state   securities   authorities  the   registration
         statements  for the Trust and the  Trust's  shares  and all  amendments
         thereto,   reports  to   regulatory   authorities   and   shareholders,
         prospectuses,  proxy  statements,  and such other  documents  as may be
         necessary  or  convenient  to  enable  the  Trust to make a  continuous
         offering of its shares;

         (c) Prepare,  negotiate and administer contracts on behalf of the Trust
         with, among others, the Trust's distributor, and custodian and transfer
         agent;

         (d) Supervise the Trust's fund  accounting  agent in the maintenance of
         the  Trust's  general  ledger  and in the  preparation  of the  Trust's

         payments  and the  determination  of the net asset value of the Trust's
         assets and of the Trust's shares, and of the declaration and payment of
         dividends and other distributions to shareholders;

         (e)  Calculate  performance  data of the  Trust  for  dissemination  to
         information services covering the investment company industry;

         (f)  Prepare and file the Trust's tax returns;

         (g) Examine and review the  operations of the Trust's  custodian and

         (l)  Provide general compliance services; and

         (m) Advise the Trust and its  Trustees  on  matters  concerning  the
          Trust and its affairs.

         The foregoing,  along with any additional services that EIS shall agree
in writing to perform for the Trust hereunder, shall hereafter be referred to as

functions,  or services to be performed for the Trust by the Trust's  investment
adviser,  distributor,  custodian or transfer agent pursuant to their agreements
with the Trust.

3. EXPENSES.  EIS shall be responsible for expenses incurred in providing office
space,  equipment and personnel as may be necessary or convenient to provide the
Administrative  Services to the Trust.  The Trust shall be  responsible  for all

with the matters to which this Agreement  relates,  except a loss resulting from
willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith  or  gross  negligence  on  its  part  in  the
performance  of its duties or from reckless  disregard by it of its  obligations
and duties  under this  Agreement.  EIS shall be entitled to rely on and may act
upon advice of counsel  (who may be counsel for the Trust) on all  matters,  and
shall be without  liability for any action  reasonably taken or omitted pursuant
to such  advice.  Any person,  even though also an officer,  director,  partner,
employee or agent of EIS, who may be or become an officer,  trustee, employee or
agent of the Trust,  shall be deemed,  when  rendering  services to the Trust or
acting  on any  business  of the Trust  (other  than  services  or  business  in
connection with the duties of EIS hereunder) to be rendering such services to or
acting solely for the Trust and not as an officer,  director,  partner, employee
or agent or one under the control or direction of EIS even though paid by EIS.

6.       DURATION AND TERMINATION.

         (a) This  Agreement  shall be in effect until  December  31, 2000,  and

         (b) This  Agreement may be terminated at any time,  without  payment of
         any penalty,  on sixty (60) day's prior  written  notice by a vote of a
         majority of the Trust's Trustees or by EIS.

 7. AMENDMENT. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged
or terminated  orally,  but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which an enforcement of the change, waiver,  discharge or termination is
sought.

9.  LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY.  EIS is  hereby  expressly  put on  notice of the
limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust and agrees that
the  obligations  pursuant to this  Agreement of a particular  series and of the
Trust with respect to that particular  series be limited solely to the assets of
that  particular  series,  and EIS  shall  not  seek  satisfaction  of any  such
obligation from the assets of any other series,  the shareholders of any series,
the Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust, or any of them.

10.  MISCELLANEOUS.  The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience
of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the  provisions  hereof
or  otherwise  affect their  construction  or effect.  If any  provision of this

decision,  statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not
be  affected  thereby.  Subject  to the  provisions  of  Section 5 hereof,  this
Agreement  shall be binding  upon and shall  inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their  respective  successors  and shall be governed by Delaware law;
provided,   however,  that  nothing  herein  shall  be  construed  in  a  manner

                           percentage of average daily net  assets  of  Class B
                           shares, as described in a Fund's current prospectus.

                  2.       Class B Shares are offered at net asset value without

                           as described in a Fund's current prospectus.

                  3.       Class B Shares  automatically  convert to Class A
                           Shares without a sales load or exchange fee after
                           designated periods.

                  4.       Shareholders  may  exchange  Class B Shares of a Fund

                  purchases  or  sales  of  material  amounts  of  assets,  (vi)
                  significant new business, products or discoveries or losses of

                  to his or her actual knowledge at the time of such purchase or
                  sale  is  being  purchased  or sold  by any  Fund or has  been
                  recommended or is being purchased or sold by any Fund.

         (D)      Section 2(B) shall not apply to the following:

                  (1)      Transactions  for any  account  over which the Access
                           Person  has  no  direct  or  indirect   influence  or
                           control.

                  (2)      Involuntary transactions by the Access Person or any

                           plan.

                           by an issuer  pro-rata  to all  holders of a class of
                           its  securities,  to  the  extent  such  rights  were
                           acquired from such issuer, and sale of such rights.

                           Chairman  of the  Board  of  any  Trust  (and  in his

                           Trust) which he or she finds to be:

                           (a)      Only remotely  potentially harmful to a Fund
                                    because  they  would  be  very  unlikely  to
                                    affect a highly institutional market, or

                           (b)      Clearly  not  related  economically  to  the
                                    securities to be purchased,  sold or held by
                                    a Fund.

3.       Reports

         (A)      Subject to subsection (B) below, each Access Person shall make
                  the reports required by section  270.17j-1(d) of the rules and
                  regulations issued under the Act.

         (B)      A Disinterested Trustee of any Fund need only report a
                  transaction in a Security if he or she knows at the time of
                  such transaction or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his
                  or her official duties as trustee, should have known that
                  during the 15 day period immediately preceding or after the
                  date of the transaction, such Security was or would be
                  purchased or sold by any Fund or was or would be considered
                  for purchase or sale by any Fund or its investment adviser.

                           Effective December 17, 1999

As an Employee of any of the CMG Covered  Companies,  you are  required to read,
understand  and  abide by this Code of  Ethics.  The Code  contains  affirmative
requirements  as well as  prohibitions  that you are  required  to  adhere to in
connection with securities transactions effected on your behalf and on behalf of
clients (including the Evergreen Funds). Such requirements include,  among other
things,  (i.) notifying the Compliance  Department upon  establishing a personal
securities  account  with a  broker/dealer,  (ii.) in certain  cases,  obtaining
permission prior to engaging in a personal  securities  transaction,  and (iii.)
reporting personal securities transactions to the Compliance Department. FAILURE
TO ADHERE  TO THE CODE  COULD  RESULT IN  SANCTIONS,  INCLUDING  DISMISSAL  FROM
EMPLOYMENT,  AND COULD ALSO IN  CERTAIN  CASES  EXPOSE YOU TO CIVIL OR  CRIMINAL
PENALTIES SUCH AS FINES AND/OR IMPRISONMENT.

No written code can  explicitly  cover every  situation that possibly may arise.
Even in  situations  not  expressly  described,  the  Code  and  your  fiduciary
obligations  generally require you to put the interests of your clients ahead of
your own. If you have any questions  regarding the appropriateness of any action
under this Code or under your  fiduciary  duties  generally,  you should contact
your  Compliance  Officer or  Assistant  General  Counsel to discuss  the matter
before taking the action in question.  Similarly,  you should  consult with your
Compliance or Legal officer if you have any questions  concerning the meaning or
interpretation of any provision of the Code.

Finally,  as an Employee of First Union  Corporation  or one of its divisions or
subsidiaries, you should consult First Union's Code of Conduct contained in your
Employee Handbook. This Code uses many defined terms that are defined in Section
V.

I.       PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

A.  No  Employee  shall  engage  in  any  Security  transactions,   activity  or
relationship  that  creates or has the  appearance  of  creating  a conflict  of
interest  (financial or other)  between the Employee and a Covered  Company or a
Client  Account.  Each  Employee  shall always place the  financial and business
interests of the Covered  Companies  and Client  Accounts  before his or her own
personal financial and business interests.

B.  No Employee shall:

(1)      employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Client Account;
(2)      engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or
         would operate as a fraud or deceit upon a Client Account; or
(3)      engage in any fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative practice with
         respect to a Client Account.

C. No Employee shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly,  any Security for
any Personal Account,  any Client Account,  the account of a Covered Company, or
any other account,  while in possession of Inside  Information  concerning  that
Security or the issuer  without  the prior  written  approval of the  Compliance
Officer  and the  Assistant  General  Counsel  and (per  First  Union's  Code of
Conduct)  First Union's  Conflict of Interest  Committee,  which  approval shall
specifically determine that such trading would not constitute an improper use of
such Inside  Information.  Employees  possessing  Inside  Information shall take
reasonable  precautions  to ensure  that such  information  is not  disseminated
beyond  those  Employees  with a need to know such  information.  Any  questions
should be directed to the Compliance Officer or Assistant General Counsel.

D. No Employee shall recommend or cause a Covered Company or Client Account to
take action or refrain from taking action for the  Employee's  own personal
benefit.

E. It is  presumed  that  Employees  in one  geographic  location  will not have
knowledge of transactions  effected in another geographic  location,  but use of
any such information would likewise be prohibited.

(1)      No  Employee  shall  purchase  or sell any  Security  for any  Personal
         Account if he or she knows such  Security  (i.) is being  purchased  or
         sold  for any  Covered  Company  or  Client  Account  or (ii.) is being
         actively  considered  for  purchase or sale by any  Covered  Company or
         Client account.

(2)      A Covered  Company  shall not purchase or sell any Security for its own
         account  if the  Employee  making  such  purchase  or sale  knows  such
         Security  (i.) is being  purchased  or sold for any  Client  Account or
         (ii.) is being  actively  considered for purchase or sale by any Client
         Account.

The prohibitions contained in E.(1) and E.(2) shall not apply to:

(a)           purchases pursuant to a dividend reinvestment program or purchases
              based upon preexisting status as a security holder,  policy holder
              or depositor;
(b)           purchases of  Securities  through the exercise of rights issued to
              the  Employee  as part of a pro rata issue to all  holders of such
              Securities, and the sale of such rights;
(c)           transactions that are non-volitional,  including any sale out of a
              brokerage  account  resulting from a bona fide margin call as long
              as collateral  was not withdrawn  from such account within 10 days
              prior to the call; and
(d)           transactions  previously  approved  in writing  by the  Compliance
              Officer that have been  determined not to be harmful to any Client
              Account because of the volume of trading in the Security.

F. No Employee shall purchase a Security for any Personal  Account in an initial
public offering,  except for initial public offerings where the individual has a
right to  purchase  the  Security  based on a  preexisting  status as a security
holder, policy holder or depositor.

G. No  Employee  shall  maintain  or open a  brokerage  account  constituting  a
Personal  Account unless duplicate  confirmations  and statements of all account
activity are forwarded to the Compliance Officer.

H. No Employee shall use any Derivative to evade the  restrictions  of this Code
of Ethics.

I. No Investment  Person shall be a director of a publicly  traded company other
than First Union  Corporation  without prior written  approval of the Compliance
Officer. Approval generally will not be granted.

J. No Access  Person  shall make  investments  for any  Personal  Account in any
investment club without prior written approval from the Compliance Officer.

K. No Access  Person  may  purchase  a Security  for any  Personal  Account in a
private offering without prior written approval of the person's Chief Investment
Officer  or the  Compliance  Officer.  In  considering  whether  to  grant  such
approval,  the  Compliance  Officer or Chief  Investment  Officer will  consider
several factors, including but not limited to:

   (1) whether the investment  opportunity should be reserved for a Client
       Account; and
   (2) whether the  opportunity is being offered to the Access Person by virtue
       of his or her position with respect to a Client Account or a Covered
       Company.

If approval is granted,  the Access Person must  disclose the  investment to the
appropriate  Chief  Investment  Officer before  participating  in any way in any
decision as to whether a Client  Account  should  invest in such  Security or in
another  Security issued by the same issuer.  In such  circumstances,  the Chief
Investment  Officer  will  conduct  a review  by  investment  personnel  with no
interest in the issuer  prior to a purchase on behalf of a Client  Account.  The
Compliance  Officer  shall retain a record of this  approval  and the  rationale
supporting it.

L. No Access Person may offer investment advice or manage any person's portfolio
in  which  he or she does not  have  Beneficial  Ownership  other  than a Client
Account without prior written approval from the Compliance Officer.

M. No  Investment  Person  may  profit  from the  purchase  and sale or sale and
purchase of the same (or equivalent) Securities (other than securities issued by
First Union  Corporation)  in a Personal  Account  within 60 calendar  days. Any
resulting profits will be disgorged as instructed by the Compliance Officer.

N. No  Investment  Person may buy or sell a Security  for any  Personal  Account
within  seven  calendar  days  before or after a Client  Account  that he or she
manages, or provides  information or advice to, or executes investment decisions
for, trades in that Security, except:

(1)      purchases  pursuant  to a dividend  reinvestment  program or  purchases
         based upon preexisting  status as a security  holder,  policy holder or
         depositor;
(2)      purchases of  Securities  through the exercise of rights  issued to the
         Employee as part of a pro rata issue to all holders of such Securities,
         and the sale of such rights;
(3)      transactions  that  are  non-volitional,  including  any  sale out of a
         brokerage  account  resulting  from a bona fide  margin call as long as
         collateral was not withdrawn from such account within ten days prior to
         the call; and
(4)      transactions  previously  approved in writing by the Compliance Officer
         that have been  determined  not to be  harmful  to any  Client  Account
         because of the volume of trading in the Security.

    Any related profits from such transaction will be disgorged as instructed by
the Compliance Officer.

O. No Employee shall, directly or indirectly, in connection with any purchase or
sale of any Security by a Client  Account or a Covered  Company or in connection
with the business of a Client  Account or a Covered  Company,  accept or receive
from a third party any gift or other thing of more than de minimis value,  other
than (i.) business  entertainment such as meals and sporting events involving no
more than ordinary  amenities and (ii.)  unsolicited  advertising or promotional
materials  that are generally  available.  An Employee also should consult First
Union  Corporation's  Code of  Conduct  relating  to  acceptance  of gifts  from
customers  and  suppliers.  An Employee  shall  refer  questions  regarding  the
permissibility  of  accepting  items  of  more  than  de  minimis  value  to the
Compliance Officer.

II.      PRE-CLEARING PERSONAL TRADES

Pre-Clearance Procedures and Standards

A. No  Access  Person  may  engage in a  Securities  transaction  (other  than a
transaction  described in Section B. below)  involving a Personal Account unless
he/she has first pre-cleared the transaction by completing a Personal Investment
Pre-Clearance  Form  and had the  form  signed  and/or  initialed  as set  forth
therein.  Approval shall be indicated by the Access  Person's  Chief  Investment
Officer  or other  designated  supervisor  signing  and  dating  the Form  where
indicated at the bottom.  Any such approval shall only be valid until the end of
the next  trading  day.  The time  allotment  is limited  to the actual  time of
purchase or sale of the Security.  If execution of the trade does not take place
by the end of the next trading day, then another  pre-clearance  request must be
processed and  approved.  "Good till  cancelled"  orders are forbidden and "no -
limit"  orders must be  cancelled  or  pre-cleared  again by the end of the next
trading day after the approval if the trade is not executed.

B. The following transactions are excluded from the pre-clearance requirement:

(1)      any transactions in Securities traded on a national securities exchange
         or NASDAQ  NMS with an  aggregate  amount of (i.) 500 shares or less or
         (ii.) $25,000 or less  (whichever  is a lessor  amount) of a particular
         security within a seven-day window.  The de minimis is not valid for an
         Investment  Person who has  knowledge of recent  purchases and sales of
         the same security within Client accounts.
(2)      purchases  pursuant  to  a  dividend  reinvestment  program  (DRIP)  or
         purchases based upon preexisting  status as a security  holder,  policy
         holder or depositor;
(3)      purchases of  Securities  through the exercise of rights  issued to the
         Employee as part of a pro rata issue to all holders of such Securities,
         and the sale of such rights;
(4)      transactions  that  are  non-volitional,  including  any  sale out of a
         brokerage  account  resulting  from a bona fide  margin call as long as
         collateral was not withdrawn from such account within ten days prior to
         the call;
(5)      transactions in Securities issued by First Union Corporation;
(6)      transactions  by an  Investment  Person in a  Security  that all Client
         Accounts for which the person makes or executes investment decisions or
         recommendations  are prohibited under their investment  guidelines from
         purchasing; and
(7)      transactions  previously  approved in writing by the Compliance Officer
         that have been  determined  not to be  harmful  to any  Client  Account
         because of the volume of trading in the Security.

C.  Failure to receive  pre-approval  on  applicable  trades  will result in the
following actions:

(1)      First Failure:   Letter of Reprimand;
(2)      Second Failure:  $100.00 fine, payable to a charity agreeable to the
         Compliance Officer and the Access Person;
(3)      Third Failure:   $250.00 fine, payable to a charity agreeable to the
         Compliance Officer and the Access Person;

permissibility of investing in other financial institutions.
