Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Here’s news you will be interested in as a shareholder of one of the following five Lord Abbett Funds: Florida Series (the “Florida Tax Free Trust”), Michigan Series (the “Michigan Tax Free Trust”), Lord Abbett Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Minnesota Tax Free Fund”), Lord Abbett Texas Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Texas Tax Free Fund”), and Lord Abbett Washington Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Washington Tax Free Fund” and collectively with Florida Tax Free Trust, Michigan Tax Free Trust, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Texas Tax Free Fund, the “Acquired Funds”). The Florida Tax Free Trust and Michigan Tax Free Trust are series of the Lord Abbett Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”). The Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Texas Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund are series of the Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”).

You are cordially invited to attend the Meetings of Shareholders (the “Meetings” and each a “Meeting”) that will take place:

·	Date and Time:	December 7, 2007 at 9:00 a.m.
·	Location:	90 Hudson Street
		Jersey City, New Jersey 07302-3972

The purpose of the Meetings is to vote on the proposed reorganizations (the “Reorganizations” and each a “Reorganization”) of the Acquired Funds into the Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund (the “National Tax Free Fund” or the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Company. In the Reorganizations, the assets of each of the Acquired Funds would be acquired by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquiring Fund would assume all of the liabilities each of the Acquired Funds.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined unanimously, following the recommendation of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), the Funds’ investment adviser, that each of the Reorganizations of the Florida Tax Free Trust and the Michigan Tax Free Trust into the National Tax Free Fund would be in the best interests of each of these Acquired Funds and their shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Company (together with the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the “Boards”) has determined unanimously, following the recommendation of Lord Abbett, that each of the Reorganizations of the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund into the National Tax Free Fund would be in the best interests of each of these Acquired Funds and their shareholders.

Only shareholders of each Acquired Fund may vote on the acquisition of that Fund’s assets by the Acquiring Fund. Shareholder approval of any one Reorganization is not contingent upon, and will not affect, shareholder approval of any of the other four Reorganizations. Likewise, completion of any one

Reorganization is not contingent upon, and will not affect, completion of any of the other four Reorganizations.

As you evaluate a Reorganization, please note the following:

· Following the Reorganizations, the resulting Fund will be managed according to the investment objective, policies and strategy of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategy are substantially similar to the investment objective, policies and strategy of each Acquired Fund, except that the Acquiring Fund (1) is not required to invest in a single state’s municipal bonds and (2) may invest up to 35% of its net assets in high yield debt securities, while each Acquired Fund may invest only up to 20% of its net assets in such securities. Although each Acquired Fund’s shareholders no longer would receive certain state tax benefits (which, as noted below, are relatively small for residents of Michigan and negligible for residents of Florida, Texas and Washington due to those states’ tax structures) as shareholders of the Acquiring Fund after completion of the Reorganizations, such shareholders would remain invested in a fund that seeks to obtain income that is exempt from federal income taxes.

· The Reorganizations would permit shareholders of each Acquired Fund to pursue substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as shareholders of the Acquiring Fund, which is a larger fund with access to a broader universe of potential investments, enhanced opportunities for portfolio diversification and investment flexibility, including more opportunities to invest in higher-yielding instruments, and the potential for lower expenses through economies of scale.

· Michigan’s relatively low state income tax and each of Florida’s, Texas’s and Washington’s lack of a state income tax diminish the benefits associated with municipal bond funds focused on those states. The supply of municipal bonds available for investment by the Acquired Funds in Florida, Michigan, Texas and Washington is limited and may adversely affect the investment performance of those Funds.

· The total annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund generally are higher than those of each Acquired Fund. However, when currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements are taken into account, the annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund currently are lower than those of the Florida Tax Free Trust, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund. Taking the currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements into account, the annual operating expenses of Class A of the Acquiring Fund are three basis points and two basis points higher, respectively, than the annual operating expenses of Class A of the Michigan Tax Free Fund and the Class A of the Minnesota Tax Free Fund.

· For the one-, three-, five- and ten-year and since-inception periods ended June 30, 2007, the Acquiring Fund’s performance has been better than each Acquired Fund’s performance, with certain exceptions.

· The dividend income received by shareholders of Acquiring Fund will not be exempt from Michigan and Minnesota state income taxes, or local income taxes if such states have local income taxes. The loss of such state and local tax benefits may adversely affect current Acquired Funds shareholders after the relevant Reorganization. However, as discussed above, shareholders will benefit from being in a larger fund with better performance that continues to offer the benefits of income that is exempt from federal income taxes.

· Each Reorganization will be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. You will not be charged any sales loads, commissions, or transaction fees in a Reorganization.

· The total value of the Acquiring Fund shares you will receive as a result of a Reorganization will be the same as the total value of your shares in the applicable Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the date that the Reorganization is completed.

· Each Acquired Fund will be terminated as part of the applicable Reorganization.

· If the Reorganizations are approved, any Acquired Fund portfolio holdings that are not compatible with the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategy will be liquidated in an orderly manner. An Acquired Fund’s need to sell securities in connection with a Reorganization may result in its selling securities at a disadvantageous time and price, realizing gains or losses that otherwise would not have been realized and/or incurring transaction costs that otherwise would not have been incurred.

· The individuals currently responsible for the day-to-day management of each Acquired Fund’s assets will continue to manage those assets if the Reorganizations are approved.

· Subject to shareholder approval, the Reorganizations are expected to be effected as soon as practicable following the Meeting, but not later than January 2, 2008.

You may vote in any one of four ways:

· Via the Internet at using the web address shown on your proxy card.

· By telephone, with a toll-free call to the telephone number listed on your proxy card.

· By mail, using the enclosed ballot.

· In person at the Meeting.

We encourage you to vote by Internet or telephone, using the “control” number that appears on your proxy card. These voting methods will save a good deal of money otherwise expended on postage. Regardless of the method you choose, however, please take the time to read the full text of the enclosed Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement before voting. Because shareholders of the Acquired Funds will be asked to approve transactions that will result in their holding shares of the Acquiring Fund, this document serves as a combined proxy statement that describes the proposals with respect to the Acquired Funds and prospectus that includes key information about the Acquiring Fund.

YOUR VOTE ON THE REORGANIZATIONS IS CRITICAL. TO ENSURE THAT YOUR VOTE IS COUNTED, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU:

1. REVIEW THE ENCLOSED COMBINED PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT,

2. VOTE BY INTERNET OR TELEPHONE, OR

3. COMPLETE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD, AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Your prompt response will help save the expense of additional solicitations.

We encourage you to review the enclosed materials. Because we believe that the combination of these Funds is the best interests of shareholders of each Acquired Fund, we encourage you to vote in favor of the Reorganizations.

If you have any question regarding the Meetings or need assistance in voting, please contact us at 888-L-ABBETT (888-522-2388).

Sincerely,

Robert S. Dow
Chairman of the Boards

This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Trustees of Lord Abbett Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”) and the Board of Directors of Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), to be used at Meetings of Shareholders of the Florida Series (the “Florida Tax Free Trust”), Michigan Series (the “Michigan Tax Free Trust”), Lord Abbett Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Minnesota Tax Free Fund”), Lord Abbett Texas Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Texas Tax Free Fund”), and Lord Abbett Washington Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Washington Tax Free Fund” and collectively with Florida Tax Free Trust, Michigan Tax Free Trust, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Texas Tax Free Fund, the “Acquired Funds”) to be held at 9:00 a.m. on December 7, 2007, at the offices of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) at 90 Hudson Street, Jersey City, New Jersey, and at any adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”). The Florida Tax Free Trust and Michigan Tax Free Trust are series of the Trust. The Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Texas Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund are series of the Company.

The shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds are being asked to vote to approve or disapprove the proposed reorganizations (the “Reorganizations” and each a “Reorganization”) of the Acquired Funds into the Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund (the “National Tax Free Fund” or the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Company. In the Reorganizations, the assets of each of the Acquired Funds would be acquired by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquiring Fund would assume all of the liabilities each of the Acquired Funds.

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date (“Shareholders”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share, and a proportionate share of a vote for each fractional share, held on [ ], 2007 (the “Record Date”). The table below sets forth the number of shares of each Acquired Fund issued and outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date.

Michigan Tax Free Trust
Minnesota Tax Free Fund
Texas Tax Free Fund
Washington Tax Free Fund

This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to Shareholders on or about September 28, 2007.

The Meetings are being held for the purpose of considering the following proposals:

(1) To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between each Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund providing for: (a) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund; and (c) the termination of the Acquired Fund. The Acquired and Acquiring Funds involved in each proposed Reorganization are:

Acquired Fund		Acquiring Fund

Florida Series		Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund
Michigan Series		Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund
Lord Abbett Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund		Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund
Lord Abbett Texas Tax-Free Income Fund		Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund
Lord Abbett Washington Tax-Free Income Fund		Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund

(2) To transact such other business as may properly come before each of the Meetings.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and for determining whether sufficient votes have been received for approval of the proposals, abstentions and broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter for which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present at a Meeting but which have not been voted. For this reason, abstentions and broker non-votes will assist each Acquired Fund in obtaining a quorum, but both have the practical effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite vote for approval of each Proposal.

If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at a Meeting, or the Shareholder votes via the Internet or by telephone before a Meeting, the named proxies will vote the shares represented by the proxy in accordance with the Shareholder’s instructions. A proxy may be revoked by the Shareholder at any time at or before a Meeting by written notice to any Acquired Fund, by execution of a later-dated proxy, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Unless revoked, all valid proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications thereon. A vote in favor of a Reorganization is a vote to terminate an Acquired Fund.

Only shareholders of each Acquired Fund may vote on the acquisition of that Fund’s assets by the Acquired Fund. Shareholder approval of any one Reorganization is not contingent upon, and will not affect, shareholder approval of any of the other four Reorganizations. In addition, completion of any one Reorganization is not contingent upon, and will not affect, completion of any of the other four Reorganizations.

The votes of the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders are not being solicited because their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganizations.

Proxies will be solicited by mail. Additional solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile, or personal contact by officers or employees of Lord Abbett and its affiliates. The Acquired Funds may also request brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries who are shareholders of record to forward proxy material to the beneficial owners. The cost of the solicitation will be borne by Lord Abbett.

If sufficient votes to approve a Reorganization are not received by the meeting date, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of a Meeting to allow further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn a Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes actually cast, and the nature of any further solicitation and any information to be provided to shareholders for such solicitation. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote on an adjournment after considering the best interests of all shareholders.

If a Reorganization is not approved by Shareholders, or if a Reorganization is not completed for any other reason, the relevant Board will consider other alternatives for the applicable Acquired Fund, including its liquidation.

FEES AND EXPENSES

This table provides a summary comparison of the expenses of the shares of each of the Acquired Funds and the shares of the Acquiring Fund, as well as estimated expenses on a pro forma basis giving effect to the proposed Reorganizations. As the tables below demonstrate, the Acquired and Acquiring Fund are subject to the same contractual management fee, although certain other expenses of the Acquired Funds are higher or lower, depending on the specific Acquired Fund, than those of the Acquiring Fund. These differences are in part due to expenses associated with the Funds’ investments inverse floaters, in which the Acquiring Fund invests to a greater extent than the Acquired Funds, and the differences in Rule 12b-1 fees borne by certain Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Fund. The expenses of the National Tax Free Fund shares are not expected to increase as a result of the Reorganizations.

Currently, the Acquiring Fund, Florida Tax Free Trust, and Texas Tax Free Fund have the same Rule 12b-1 fees. The Rule 12b-1 plans for the Michigan Tax Free Trust, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund are not operative because the net assets of Class A shares of those Funds have not reached $100 million. If the proposed Reorganizations occur, the Shareholders of the Michigan Tax Free Trust, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund would bear their share of the Acquiring Fund’s Rule 12b-1 fees as shareholders of the Acquiring Fund. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding Class P shares of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Funds.

(1) You may be able to reduce or eliminate the sale charge. See “Your Investment – Purchases” in the Fund’s prospectus.

(2) The maximum contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.

(3) A CDSC of 1.00% may be assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months following certain purchases made without a sales charge. A CDSC of 1.00% may be assessed on Class C shares if they are redeemed before the first anniversary of their purchase.

(4) Because 12b-1 fees are paid out on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

(5) The Rule 12b-1 fee the Fund will pay on Class C shares will be a blended rate calculated based on (1) 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to shares held for less than one year and (2) 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to shares held for one year or more. All Class C shareholders of the Fund will bear Rule 12b-1 fees at the same rate.

(6) These amounts have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses.

(7) Interest and Related Expenses (“interest expense”) from Inverse Floaters include certain expenses and fees related to the Fund’s investments in inverse floaters (also known as “residual interest bonds”). Under accounting rules, some of those expenses are liabilities with respect to interest paid on short-term floating rate notes issued by the trusts whose inverse floater certificates are held by the Fund. Accounting rules also require the Fund to recognize additional income in an amount that directly corresponds to these expenses. Therefore, the Fund’s net asset values per share and total returns have not been affected by these additional expenses. These expenses affect the amount of the Fund’s Total Other Expenses and Total Operating Expenses in the table above and the Example below.

(8) For the period from October 1, 2006 through January 31, 2008, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses (excluding interest expense) so that the Fund’s net expenses (excluding interest expense) do not exceed an aggregate annualized rate of 0.95% of average daily net assets for Class A shares and 1.60% of average daily net assets for Class C shares. In addition, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, Lord Abbett expects to voluntarily reimburse approximately $51,000 expenses, or approximately 0.08% of the Fund’s net assets. Accordingly, the estimated expense ratios (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) are 0.79% for Class A and 1.40% for Class C. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursement at any time.

In addition, Lord Abbett expects to voluntarily reimburse approximately $513,000 of expenses, or approximately 0.09% of the Fund’s net assets, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the estimated expense ratios (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) are 0.69% for Class A and 1.31% for Class C. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursement at any time.

In addition, Lord Abbett would have voluntarily reimbursed approximately $584,000 of expenses, or approximately 0.09% of the Fund’s pro forma net assets, had the Florida Tax Free Trust’s Reorganization been in effect during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the estimated pro forma expense ratios (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) are 0.69% for Class A and 1.31% for Class C. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursement at any time.

(11) For the period from October 1, 2006 through January 31, 2008, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses (excluding interest expense) so that the Fund’s net expenses (excluding interest expense) do not exceed an aggregate annualized rate of 0.95% of average daily net assets for Class A shares and 1.60% of average daily net assets for Class C shares. In addition, Lord Abbett would have voluntarily reimbursed approximately $803,000 of expenses, or approximately 0.09% of the Fund’s pro forma net assets, had all of the Reorganizations been in effect during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the estimated pro forma expense ratios (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) are 0.68% for Class A and 1.30% for Class C. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursement at any time.

Examples

The Examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the National Tax Free Fund with the cost of investing in the Florida Tax Free Trust. The first Example, like that in other funds’ prospectuses, assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Funds for the time periods indicated and redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Funds’ operating expenses remain the same, and that you paid the maximum applicable sales load. No sales charge will be imposed in connection with the Reorganization. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Fund/Class	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
National Tax Free Fund/Class A	$	443	$	694	$	963	$	1,732
Florida Tax Free Trust/Class A	$	446	$	703	$	979	$	1,765
Pro Forma Combined (All Funds)/Class A	$	436	$	672	$	927	$	1,655

(1) You may be able to reduce or eliminate the sale charge. See “Your Investment – Purchases” in the Fund’s prospectus.

(3) A CDSC of 1.00% may be assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months following certain purchases made without a sales charge.

(4) Because 12b-1 fees are paid out on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

(5) The 12b-1 Plan for Class A shares of the Fund will not become operative until the net assets of Class A reach $100 million. Once the 12b-1 Plan is effective, the 12b-1 fees may approximate 0.20% of Class A average daily net assets.

(6) These amounts have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses.

(5) These amounts have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses.

(6) Interest and Related Expenses (“interest expense”) from Inverse Floaters include certain expenses and fees related to the Fund’s investments in inverse floaters (also known as “residual interest bonds”). Under accounting rules, some of those expenses are liabilities with respect to interest paid on short-term floating rate notes issued by the trusts whose inverse floater certificates are held by the Fund. Accounting rules also require the Fund to recognize additional income in an amount that directly corresponds to these expenses. Therefore, the Fund’s net asset values per share and total returns have not been affected by these additional expenses. These expenses affect the amount of the Fund’s Total Other Expenses and Total Operating Expenses in the table above and the Example below.

(7) For the period from October 1, 2006 through January 31, 2008, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses (excluding interest expense) so that the Fund’s net expenses (excluding expense interest) do not exceed an aggregate annualized rate of 0.95% of average daily net assets for Class A shares. In addition, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, Lord Abbett expects to voluntarily reimburse approximately $42,000 of expenses, or approximately 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets. Accordingly, the estimated expense ratio (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) is 0.79% for Class A.

Accordingly, the estimated pro forma expense ratios (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) are 0.68% for Class A and 1.30% for Class C. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursement at any time.

In addition, Lord Abbett expects to voluntarily reimburse approximately $513,000 of expenses, or approximately 0.09% of the Fund’s net assets, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the estimated expense ratio (net of both contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements and excluding interest expense) is 0.69% for Class A.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL

The following summarizes certain information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. You should read the more complete information in the rest of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Prospectus for the Acquiring Fund (enclosed as Exhibit [X]), and the Annual Report to shareholders of the Acquiring Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 (enclosed as Exhibit [X]). You should also review the Statement of Additional Information relating to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents. You should read the entire Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Overview of the Proposed Reorganizations

Each of the proposed Reorganizations provides for the transfer to the Acquiring Fund of all of the assets of an Acquired Fund in exchange for the Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of that Acquired Fund. Each Acquired Fund will distribute all Acquiring Fund Shares received by it among its shareholders so that each shareholder of that Acquired Fund will receive a pro rata distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares (or fractions thereof). The Acquiring Fund Shares received by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund will be of the same class and have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund shares as of the date of the exchange. After the Reorganizations, each Acquired Fund will be terminated. Completion of each of the Reorganizations is subject to the approval of the applicable Acquired Fund’s shareholders and other conditions.

As a result of a Reorganization, each shareholder of the affected Acquired Fund will cease to be a shareholder of that Acquired Fund and will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund as of the close of business on the date of the Reorganization. No front-end sales load or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) will be imposed at the time of the Reorganization. Any later investment in the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganizations will be subject to any applicable sales charges, and any redemption of Class B or Class C (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Acquiring Fund will be subject to the same CDSC as the redemption of Class B or Class C shares (or Class A shares subject to a CDSC) of the Acquired Fund and would be calculated from the date of original purchase of the applicable Acquired Fund’s shares.

As you evaluate a Reorganization, please note the following:

enhanced opportunities for portfolio diversification and investment flexibility, including more opportunities to invest in higher-yielding instruments, and the potential for lower expenses through economies of scale.

· Each Reorganization will be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. You will not be charged any sales loads, commissions, or transaction fees in a Reorganization.

· Each Acquired Fund will be terminated as part of the applicable Reorganization.

· The individuals currently responsible for the day-to-day management of each Acquired Fund’s assets will continue to manage those assets if the Reorganizations are approved.

· Subject to shareholder approval, the Reorganizations are expected to be effected as soon as practicable following the Meeting, but not later than January 2, 2008.

The Boards unanimously each have decided that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of their respective Acquired Funds and their shareholders. The Boards also each have determined that each Reorganization would not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either Fund involved. Among other factors, the Boards considered, based upon the recommendation of Lord Abbett, the investment adviser to the Funds and the relative historical performance of the Funds. Each Board considered that as of June 30, 2007, the Acquiring Fund’s investment performance generally has been stronger than that of each Acquired Fund, with certain exceptions. Specifically, for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2007, the National Tax Free Fund’s performance has been better than each Acquired Fund’s performance, except that the Michigan Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the ten-year period, the Minnesota Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the five- and ten-year periods, and the Washington Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the one-year period. In each of those instances, the magnitude of the difference was equal to or less than 20 basis points.

In addition, each Board considered the relative expense levels, and the historical and projected expense ratios of each of its Funds. The Boards noted that the contractual management fees were the same for each Fund, but the total annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund (before any fee waivers and assumption of expenses) generally are higher than the annual operating expenses of each of the Acquired Funds. However, when currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements are taken into account, the annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund currently are lower than those of the Florida Tax Free Trust, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund. Taking the currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements into account, the annual operating expenses of Class A of the Acquiring Fund are three basis points and two basis points higher, respectively, than the annual operating expenses of Class A of the Michigan Tax Free Fund and the Class A of the Minnesota Tax Free Fund. Moreover, the difference in expenses in part is due to the differences in interest expense resulting from different levels of investments in inverse floaters. Under accounting rules, some of these expenses are liabilities for interest paid on short-term floating rate notes issued by the trusts whose inverse floater certificates are held by the Funds. Accounting rules also require the Funds to recognize additional income in an amount that directly corresponds to these expenses.

The Boards also considered that the Rule 12b-1 plans for Class A shares of the Michigan Tax Free Fund, the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund currently are not operative because the net assets of the Class A shares of those Funds are less than $100 million and that, in effect, a Reorganization involving any of those Funds would result in the shareholders of that Fund bearing a 12b-1 fee. The Boards also noted that, if the net assets of Class A shares of those Funds were to grow to $100 million, those 12b-1 plans would provide for 12b-1 payments at the same rate as the 12b-1 plan for Class A shares of the National Tax Free Fund.

Also, the Boards considered the investment management experience of Daniel S. Solender and Peter Scott Smith the portfolio managers of the Acquiring Fund, the prospects for future sales of shares of the Acquiring Fund, in light of its investment objective and portfolio management, the possibility that the asset levels of the Acquired Funds will decline, and the likelihood that sales would be sufficient to allow it to continue at an acceptably high asset level to realize administrative, portfolio management, distribution, shareholder service, and other operating efficiencies. The Board noted that each of the Acquired Funds had relatively small amounts of net assets, which limited their ability to diversify, increased relative transaction costs, and made it difficult to achieve economies of scale. In addition, the Board noted that four of the five Acquired Funds had experienced net outflows over the previous decade

and although two of the Acquired Funds have experienced some growth in net assets in recent years, that growth was fairly limited.

The Boards also considered that each Reorganization would allow the shareholders of the Acquired Funds the ability to participate in a more economically diversified portfolio, both as to the number of instruments and geographical and economic diversification. The Board noted that the Acquired Funds had less economic diversification because of potential economic developments in certain states. The Boards considered that each of the Acquired Funds had a limited number of investment opportunities, because of the relatively small amount of municipal bonds issued in those states. In addition, the Boards considered that three of the states, Florida, Texas, and Washington, do not have income taxes, and that Michigan’s income tax rates are relatively low.

The Boards also considered the tax-free nature of the Reorganizations, the similarities and differences among the investment objectives and policies of the Funds, their related risk factors, and the fact that the Funds share the same service providers, including the investment manager, custodian, and transfer agent. The Boards considered other alternatives, including liquidations of their respective Acquired Funds.

In light of these factors and their fiduciary duties under both federal and state law, the Boards unanimously have decided that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of their respective Acquired Funds and their shareholders.

Investment Objectives and Policies of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Fund

This section describes the investment objectives and principal investment policies for the Funds and the differences between them. For a complete description of the investment policies and risks for the Acquiring Fund, you should read the Prospectus (enclosed as Exhibit [X]) and the SAI for the Acquiring Fund, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

The investment objectives of the Michigan Tax Free Trust, the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and the National Tax Free Fund are similar in that each Fund seeks current income that is exempt from federal income taxes; however, they differ for how dividend income on fund shares is treated for Michigan and Minnesota state and local income tax purposes. Dividend income received by shareholders of the National Tax Free Fund will not be exempt from Michigan and Minnesota state or local income taxes. Florida, Texas, and Washington do not today impose a personal income tax. In addition, Florida has repealed its intangible personal property tax on stocks, bonds and shares of mutual funds effective as of January 1, 2007. The Funds’ investment objectives are set forth below:

Principal Investment Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund attempts to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds, the interest on which is exempt from federal personal income tax, and its corresponding state’s personal

income tax. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in municipal bonds which, at the time of purchase, are rated below investment grade or determined by Lord Abbett to be of comparable quality.

income tax. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds which, at the time of purchase, are rated below investment grade or determined by Lord Abbett to be of comparable quality.

Each Fund’s investment objective is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed by the relevant Board without shareholder approval. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund pursues its investment objective through various investment strategies as set forth below.

Under normal market conditions, each Acquired Fund attempts to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds, the interest on which is exempt from federal personal income tax, and its corresponding state’s personal income tax (this policy may not be changed without shareholder approval). If the interest on a particular municipal bond is so exempt, the Acquired Fund will treat the bond as qualifying for purposes of the 80% requirement even though the issuer of the bond may be located outside of the named state.

The state tax advantage of owning interests in a specific state municipal bond fund, including an Acquired Fund, may be adversely affected if the Supreme Court upholds a Kentucky Court of Appeals decision which it has agreed to review. That decision concluded that Kentucky could not exempt interest derived by Kentucky residents from Kentucky state and local obligations while taxing Kentucky residents on interest derived from municipal obligations of other state and local jurisdictions.

The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in other fixed income securities, including bonds that pay interest that is subject to federal personal income tax. Each Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in other fixed income securities, including bonds that pay interest that is subject to federal and its corresponding state’s personal income tax. Such bonds may include municipal bonds issued by other states, which may be exempt from federal but not state and/or local taxes. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in municipal bonds which, at the time of purchase, are rated below investment grade or determined by Lord Abbett to be of comparable quality, while the Acquired Funds may invest up to 20% of its net assets in such securities.

Each Fund may invest in certain derivative investments such as swap transactions, interest rate caps and similar instruments, and residual interest bonds (also known as “inverse floaters”), in an attempt to increase income.

Under normal circumstances, each Fund intends to maintain the average weighted stated maturity of its securities portfolio at between ten and twenty-five years. A substantial amount of a Fund’s holdings may be “callable,” a feature that allows the bond issuer to redeem the bond before its maturity date.

In selecting municipal bonds for each Fund, Lord Abbett focuses on:

· Credit Quality – an issuer’s ability to pay principal and interest

· Income Tax Exemption – the bond issuer’s ability to pay interest free from federal, state and/or local personal income taxes

· Total Return Potential – the return possibilities for an investment over a period of time, including appreciation and interest

· Call Protection – assurance by an issuer that it will not redeem a bond earlier than anticipated

To the extent that the supply of state tax-exempt municipal bonds is insufficient to meet an Acquired Fund’s investment needs, it may invest in municipal bonds issued by other states, which may be exempt from federal but not state and/or local taxes.

While typically fully invested, a Fund may take a temporary defensive position in: (i) short-term tax-exempt securities and (ii) cash, investment grade commercial paper, and short-term U.S. Government securities. This could reduce tax-exempt income and prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Temporary defensive investments in taxable securities and investments in certain municipal bonds called private activity bonds will be limited to 20% of a Fund’s assets. The income from private activity bonds is an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”).

Risk Factors

The principal investment risks associated with an investment in the Acquiring Fund are substantially similar to the principal investment risks with an investment in any Acquired Fund. Each Fund’s performance and the value of its investments will vary in response to changes in interest rates and other market factors. As interest rates rise, a Fund’s investments typically will lose value. This risk is usually greater for longer-term bonds and particularly for inverse floaters than for shorter-term bonds. As a result, the Funds, which tend to invest in longer term bonds and inverse floaters to a greater degree than some municipal bond funds, normally will have greater market risk than those funds. In addition, lower rated municipal bonds in which each Fund may invest may be more volatile and may decline more in price in response to negative issuer developments or general economic news than higher rated securities. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in municipal bonds which, at the time of purchase, are rated below investment grade or determined by Lord Abbett to be of comparable quality, while the Acquired Funds may invest up to 20% of its net assets in such securities.

Additional risks that could reduce each Fund’s performance or increase volatility include the following:

· Credit Risk – If the market perceives a deterioration in the creditworthiness of an issuer, the value of bonds issued by that issuer tends to decline. Credit risk varies based upon the economic and fiscal conditions of each state and the municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities, and other issuers within the state. Insurance or other credit enhancements

supporting a Fund’s investment may be provided by either U.S. or foreign entities. These securities have the credit risk of the entity providing the credit support. Credit support provided by foreign entities may be less certain because of the possibility of adverse foreign economic, political or legal developments that may affect the ability of the entity to meet its obligations. A change in the credit rating of any of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in a Fund’s portfolio may affect the value of the securities they insure, the Fund’s share prices, and Fund performance. A Fund might also be adversely affected by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations.

· Liquidity Risk – The market for lower rated municipal bonds generally is less liquid than the market for higher rated bonds, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations. It may be difficult for a Fund to sell such securities in a timely manner and at their stated value, which could result in losses to the Fund.

· Call Risk – As interest rates decline, bond issuers may pay off their loans early by buying back the bonds, thus depriving bondholders of above market interest rates.

· Governmental Risk – Government actions, including actions by local, state and regional governments, could have an adverse effect on municipal bond prices. In addition, a Fund’s performance may be affected by local, state, and regional factors depending on the states in which the Fund’s investments are issued. These factors may, for example, include economic or political developments, erosion of the tax base and the possibility of credit problems.

· Sector Risk – Where nongovernmental users of facilities financed by tax-exempt revenue bonds are in the same industry (such as frequently occurs in the electric utility and health care industries), there may be additional risk to a Fund in the event of an economic downturn in that industry. This may result generally in a lowered ability of such users to make payments on their obligations. The electric utility industry is subject to rate regulation vagaries. The health care industry suffers from two main problems — affordability and access.

· Legislative Risk – Legislative changes in the tax-exempt character of particular municipal bonds could have an adverse effect on municipal bond prices.

· Management Risk – If certain sectors or investments do not perform as expected, the Funds could underperform other similar funds or lose money.

· Reclassification Risk – The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has announced that holders of tax-exempt bonds have risks that their tax-exempt income may be reclassified as taxable if the bonds that they own were issued in an abusive transaction. Although the Funds attempt to purchase only bona fide tax-exempt securities, there is a risk that a bond issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS as taxable, creating taxable rather than tax-exempt income. In such a case, the Funds might be required to send to you and file with the IRS information returns (Forms 1099-DIV) for the current or prior calendar years classifying (or reclassifying) some of their exempt-interest dividends as taxable dividends. On prior year dividends, you might need to file amended income tax returns and pay additional tax and interest to avoid additional penalties and to limit interest charges on these taxable dividends.

· State and Territory Risks – Because the Acquired Funds focus on a particular state or territory, each such Fund’s performance may be more affected by local, state, and regional factors than a fund that invests in municipal bonds issued in many states. These factors may, for example, include economic or political developments, erosion of the tax base and the

possibility of credit problems. In addition, downturns or developments in the U.S. economy or in foreign economies or significant world events may harm the performance of any of the Funds (including the Acquiring Fund), and may do so disproportionately as a result of the corresponding disproportionate impact of such occurrences on particular state, territory, or local economies. Certain state and local governments and other government issuers suffered significant drops in revenues coinciding with the recent U.S. economic recession, resulting in a very difficult period for state and local governments. Despite the economic improvement in the nation as a whole, many states have continued to suffer fiscal imbalances, which could have significant consequences for each of the Funds. This is because a worsening of the economic position of a state or other issuer of bonds in which one of the Funds invests could lower the value of that Fund’s investments and could cause you to lose money.

· Florida Bonds – Florida’s service-oriented economy continues to perform well, having weathered the recent recession and numerous hurricanes without significant impact on the State’s general fund balances or revenue growth. Financial services, tourism and healthcare services continue to lead Florida in job growth.

· Michigan Bonds – Michigan continues to trail the rest of the country in recovering from the recession, but its conservative budgets and forecasting have allowed the State to navigate the economic challenges of recent years. Ongoing economic challenges, particularly those related to layoffs in the automobile industry, and the State’s limited liquidity may limit prospects for an upgrade in Michigan’s ratings.

· Minnesota Bonds – Minnesota’s economy has continued to rebound after suffering from the recent recession and its aftermath, but policymakers have not addressed ongoing budgetary challenges. As a result, the state has recently relied on temporary fixes such as spending cuts and revenue enhancing measures to resolve budget shortfalls. The State relies heavily on individual, sales, and corporate income taxes, all of which are sensitive to economic conditions, and faces budget pressure from increased spending commitments. Additionally, growth in the State’s labor force is expected to level off and is expected to be lower than the national average.

· Texas Bonds – The last recession surfaced in Texas later than in other states, with the State’s cash balances falling between 2000 and 2003, although recent projections indicate that the economy has rebounded at least moderately. The State’s job growth also lags behind the national rate, its unemployment is higher than the national average, and it has high poverty levels. Other risks include rising spending pressures from criminal justice transportation, water development, and environmental protection. Also, school finance reform in light of a court decision striking down the state’s current funding formula as unconstitutional and concurrent tax changes require substantial expenditure increases. The oil and gas industry remains important to the State’s economy, and a downturn in this or other key economic sectors could adversely affect the State’s economy.

· Washington Bonds – Washington’s economy has faced significant challenges due to the national recession. These challenges have been exacerbated by the State’s heavy reliance on the aerospace technology fields, whose rounds of layoffs and downsizing placed significant budgetary pressure on the State, its moderate debt levels, and fiscal uncertainty associated with voter initiatives. Additionally, although recent economic factors indicate that the State’s economy has improved, a downturn in key economic sectors could adversely affect the State’s economy, which is dependent on national and world (rather than local) economic conditions. Washington does not have a long-term

formal policy to achieve structural balance. The State’s debt is above average and is expected to rise, and the State faces budget pressure from increased spending commitments.

The Acquiring Fund is a diversified fund. A diversified fund, for 75% of total assets, will normally not purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. Each of the Acquired Funds is a nondiversified fund. This means that each of these Funds may invest a greater portion of its assets in, and own a greater amount of the voting securities of, a single company than a diversified fund. As a result, the value of a nondiversified fund’s investments may be more affected by a single adverse economic, political or regulatory event than the investments of a diversified fund would be.

In addition, loss may result from a Fund’s investments in certain derivative transactions such as swap transactions, interest rate caps and similar instruments, and inverse floaters. These instruments may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate and substantial losses to the Fund. They also may increase a Fund’s interest rate risk.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. A Fund may not be appropriate for all investors and none of the Funds is a complete investment program. You could lose money investing in any of the Funds.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

Each of the Reorganizations is not intended to result in any income, gain or loss being recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes by the Acquired Fund or its shareholders and will not take place unless each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund receives a satisfactory opinion from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds, substantially to the effect that the Reorganization will be a “reorganization” within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Shareholders should note that, if necessary, in accordance with each Acquired Fund’s policy of distributing its investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gains for each taxable year in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company and avoid federal income and excise tax at the fund level, each Acquired Fund will declare and pay a distribution of any such previously undistributed income and gains to its shareholders immediately before the Reorganization. Such distributions, other than distributions of exempt-interest dividends, will be taxable to Acquired Fund shareholders. For additional information about the tax considerations of the Reorganizations, see “Information about the Reorganizations – Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of Each Reorganization.”

Classes of Shares

The Acquiring Fund has five classes of Shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, and Class Y, each of which invests in the same portfolio, but bears different expenses and receives different levels of dividends. Each of the Acquired Funds, other than Florida Tax Free Trust, has two classes of shares: Class A, and Class P, each of which invests in the same portfolio, but bears different expenses and receives different levels of dividends. The Florida Tax Free Trust has three classes of shares: Class A, Class C, and Class P, each of which invests in the same portfolio, but bears different expenses and receives different levels of dividends. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding Class P shares of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Funds. If the Reorganizations are completed, Acquired Fund shareholders will receive the same class of Shares in the Acquiring Fund as they currently own in the Acquired Fund.

Purchases and Exchanges

Acquiring Fund Shares are available through certain authorized dealers at the public offering price, which is the net asset value plus any applicable sales load. Shareholders of an Acquired Fund may exchange their shares for Shares of the Acquiring Fund or certain other Lord Abbett-sponsored Funds at any time before the Reorganizations; however, each such exchange will represent a sale of shares for which a shareholder may recognize a taxable gain or loss. In contrast, no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of the Acquired Funds upon the exchange of their Acquired Fund shares for Shares of the Acquiring Fund received as a result of the Reorganizations.

If a Reorganization is not approved, the appropriate Board will consider other alternatives for the applicable Acquired Fund, including its liquidation.

Under normal circumstances, NAV per share for each class of Fund shares is calculated each business day at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Purchases and sales of each Fund’s shares are executed at the NAV next determined after the Fund receives an order in proper form. In calculating NAV, securities for which market quotations are available are valued at those quotations. Securities for which such quotations are not available are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Boards.

Dividend Policies and Options

The Funds have similar dividend and distribution policies. Each Fund expects to declare “exempt-interest dividends” from its net investment income daily and pay them monthly. Each Fund expects to distribute any net capital gains annual as “capital gains distributions.” Distributions are reinvested in the applicable Fund unless the Fund is instructed to pay them to the shareholder in cash. There are no sales charges on reinvestments.

Redemption Procedures

The redemption procedures of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Fund are the same. Shareholders may redeem shares through their brokers, by telephone, or by mail, as explained in each Fund’s prospectus.

PERFORMANCE

For more information on performance, see each Fund’s prospectus.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS

The Reorganizations

On or about December 14, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), if the conditions discussed below are met, each Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of the assets, less liabilities, of the Acquired Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Acquired Fund. Each Acquired Fund will distribute as of the Closing Date such Shares pro rata to its shareholders of record, determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date, in exchange for their shares of the Acquired Funds. The net asset value of such shares and the value of each Acquired Fund’s assets and the amount of its liabilities will be determined as of the Closing Date in accordance with the Acquiring Fund’s valuation procedures, which are the same as those used by the Acquired Funds.

Although each of the Acquired Funds may dispose of some of the securities in its portfolio before the Reorganizations and reinvest the proceeds in other securities consistent with its investment objective, the Acquired Funds will not dispose of assets that, in the aggregate, will result in less than 50% of the historic business assets of the Acquired Funds being transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganizations. If necessary, an Acquired Fund will pay a final dividend before the Reorganization that will have the effect of distributing all of its undistributed investment company income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders before the Reorganization.

The obligations of the Acquiring Fund and each of the Acquired Funds to complete their respective Reorganizations are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (a) approval of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined under the Investment Company Act, of each Acquired Fund. A majority of the outstanding securities for these purposes means the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the voting shares of each Acquired Fund represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares that Acquired Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of each Acquired Fund; and (b) a favorable opinion of legal counsel as to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization as described below under Federal Income Tax Considerations.

For the Florida Tax Free Trust and the Michigan Tax Free Trust, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the reorganization is required to constitute a quorum of the Meeting. For the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for this proposal is required to constitute a quorum of the Meeting.

This summary of the Reorganizations are not complete, and is subject in all respects to the provisions of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the forms of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, copies of which are attached as Exhibit A.

Reasons for the Reorganizations

The Boards, including in each case a majority of the directors/trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act), approved the Reorganizations at a meeting held on July 26, 2007. The Boards unanimously each have decided that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of their respective Acquired Funds and their shareholders. The Boards also each have determined that each Reorganization would not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either Fund involved. Among other factors, the Boards considered, based upon the recommendation of Lord Abbett, the investment adviser to the Funds and the relative historical performance of the Funds. Each Board considered that as of June 30, 2007, the Acquiring Fund’s investment performance generally has been stronger than that of each Acquired Fund, with certain exceptions. Specifically, for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2007, the National Tax Free Fund’s performance has been better than each Acquired Fund’s performance, except that the Michigan Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the ten-year period, the Minnesota Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the five- and ten-year periods, and the Washington Tax Free Fund outperformed the National Tax Free Fund over the one-year period. In each of those instances, the magnitude of the difference was equal to or less than the amount of the Rule 12b-1 fee to which the Acquiring Fund has been subject.

In addition, each Board considered the relative expense levels and the historical and projected expense ratios of each of its Funds. The Boards noted that the contractual management fees were the same for each Fund, but the total annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund (before any fee waivers and assumption of expenses) generally are higher than the annual operating expenses of each of the Acquired Funds. However, when currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements are taken into account, the annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund currently are lower than those of the Florida Tax Free Trust, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund. Taking the currently effective contractual and voluntary expense reimbursements into account, the Class A annual operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund are three basis points and two basis points higher, respectively, than the Class A annual operating expenses of the Michigan Tax Free Fund and the Minnesota Tax Free Fund. Moreover, the difference in expenses in part is due to the differences in interest expense resulting from different levels of investments in inverse floaters. Under accounting rules, some of these expenses are liabilities for interest paid on short-term floating rate notes issued by the trusts whose inverse floater certificates are held by the Funds. Accounting rules also require the Funds to recognize additional income in an amount that directly corresponds to these expenses.

The Boards also considered that the Rule 12b-1 plans for Class A shares of the Michigan Tax Free Fund, the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Washington Tax Free Fund currently are not operative because the net assets of the Class A shares of those Funds are less than $100 million and that, in effect, a Reorganization involving any of those Funds would result in the shareholders of that Fund bearing a Rule 12b-1 fee. The Boards also noted that, if the net assets of Class A shares of those Funds were to grow to $100 million, they would become subject to Rule 12b-1 plans providing for Class Rule 12b-1 payments at the same rate that applies to Class A shares of the National Tax Free Fund.

Also, the Boards considered the investment management experience of Daniel S. Solender and Peter Scott Smith, the portfolio managers of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds; the prospects for future sales of shares of the each Fund, in light of its investment objective and portfolio management; the possibility that the asset levels of the Acquired Funds will decline; and the likelihood that sales of the Acquiring Fund would be sufficient to allow it to continue at an acceptably high asset level to realize administrative, portfolio management, distribution, shareholder servicing, and other operating efficiencies. The Board noted that each of the Acquired Funds had relatively small amounts of net assets, which limited their ability to diversify, increased relative transaction costs, and made it difficult to achieve economies of scale. In addition, the Board noted that four of the five Acquired Funds had experienced net outflows

over the previous decade and although two of the Acquired Funds have experienced some growth in net assets in recent years, that growth was fairly limited.

The Boards also considered that each Reorganization would allow the shareholders of the Acquired Funds the ability to participate in a more economically diversified portfolio, both as to the number of instruments and geographical and economic diversification. The Board noted that the Acquired Funds had less economic diversification because of potential economic developments in certain states. The Boards considered that each of the Acquired Funds had a limited number of investment opportunities, because of the relatively small amount of municipal bonds issued in those states. In addition, the Boards considered that three of the Acquired Funds’ corresponding states, Florida, Texas, and Washington, do not have income taxes, and that Michigan’s income tax rates are relatively low.

The Boards also considered the tax-free nature of the Reorganizations; the compatibility of the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective and policies with those of each Acquired Fund; the risk factors associated with each Fund’s investment strategy; and the fact that the Funds share the same service providers, including the investment manager, custodian, and transfer agent. The Boards considered other alternatives, including liquidations of their respective Acquired Funds, but concluded that the Reorganizations were preferable to those alternatives because they would provide shareholders of the Acquired Funds with the opportunity for a tax-free exchange into a substantially similar fund.

In light of these factors and their fiduciary duties under both federal and state law, the Boards unanimously decided that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of their respective Acquired Funds and their shareholders.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of Each Reorganization

The following is a summary of the material anticipated federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization. The discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations, court decisions, published positions of the IRS, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and all of which are subject to change and differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). This summary is limited to U.S. persons who hold shares of the Acquired Funds as capital assets for federal income tax purposes (generally, assets held for investment). This summary does not address all of the federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular person or to persons that may be subject to special treatment under federal income tax laws. You should consult your tax adviser as to the federal income tax consequences to you of the Reorganization, as well as the effects of state, local and foreign tax laws.

Each Reorganization is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If each Reorganization does so qualify:

· No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon (1) the transfer of all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund as described in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement or (2) the distribution by the Acquired Fund of Acquiring Fund Shares to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders;

· No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the Acquired Fund’s assets solely in exchange for the issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares to the Acquired Fund and the assumption of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities by the Acquiring Fund;

· The basis of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of those assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately before the transfer;

· The tax holding period of the assets of the Acquired Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the Acquired Fund’s tax holding period for those assets;

· Shareholders will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of shares of the Acquired Fund solely for Acquiring Fund Shares as part of the Reorganization;

· The basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by shareholders in the Reorganization will be the same as the basis of their shares of the Acquired Fund surrendered in exchange; and

· The tax holding period of the Acquiring Fund Shares that shareholders receive will include the tax holding period of the Acquired Fund shares surrendered in the exchange, provided that shareholders held the Acquired Fund shares as capital assets on the date of the exchange.

As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund must receive a tax opinion from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds, substantially to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering each such opinion, counsel shall rely upon, among other things, reasonable assumptions as well as representations of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund (see the annexes to the Plan). No tax ruling has been requested from the IRS in connection with the Reorganizations. The tax opinions are not binding on the IRS or a court, and do not preclude the IRS from asserting or adopting a contrary position.

Expenses of the Reorganizations

Expenses of the Reorganizations, including legal and accounting expenses, the costs of proxy solicitation, and the preparation of this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, will be borne by Lord Abbett. If the Reorganizations are completed, the expenses of the Acquired Funds, to the extent not paid before the Closing Date, will be assumed by the Acquiring Fund and taken into account in determining the net assets of the Acquired Funds for the purpose of calculating the number of shares to be issued to the Acquired Funds.

Shareholders’ Rights

After the Reorganizations, the rights of the former shareholders of the Florida Tax Free Trust and Michigan Tax Free Trust (new shareholders of the Acquiring Fund) will be governed by the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company rather than by the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Trust. The Company is organized as a corporation in the State of Maryland. The Trust is organized as a statutory trust in the State of Delaware. The operations of the Acquiring Fund will continue to be subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

The rights of the shareholders of the Minnesota Tax Free Fund, the Texas Tax Free Fund, and the Washington Tax Free Fund will not change as a result of a Reorganization because these Funds and the Acquiring Funds are series of the Company. The rights of the shareholders of the Florida Tax Free Trust

and the Minnesota Tax Free Trust will change in that the Delaware statutory law provided greater shareholder protections than Maryland statutory law. For example, under Delaware statutory law, the Trust may amend its organization documents regarding management of the trust, rights and obligations of the trustees and shareholders without shareholder vote. Under Maryland statutory law, shareholder vote generally is required to amend the Company’s organization documents.

The current Boards of the Trust and the Company are comprised of the same individuals. The responsibilities, powers, and fiduciary duties of the directors/trustees of the Boards are substantially the same. The Company’s By-Laws provide for indemnification of the directors for actual liabilities arising out of their service in their capacity as directors, subject only to the conditions and limitations of applicable law. The Trust’s Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of the trustees against certain liabilities and expenses, except for (i) any matter as to which any trustee has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of such Trust, (ii) any liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties or (iii) any matter disposed of by settlement, compromise or consent decree, unless it is in the best interests of such trust or if said trustee acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such act was in the best interests of the trust. The Company’s By-Laws provide that shareholders may remove, with or without cause, any director by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Under the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, shareholders may remove a trustee by the vote of shareholders of record of not less than two-thirds.

Neither the Acquired Funds nor the Acquiring Fund regularly holds shareholder meetings. The Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the By-Laws of the Company provide that a meeting of shareholders will be held upon the written request of holders of at least 25% of votes entitled to be cast.

The foregoing is only a summary of certain rights of the shareholders of the Acquired Funds and of the rights these shareholders will have following the Reorganizations as holders of shares of the Acquiring Fund. It is not a complete description of the Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws or applicable state law. Shareholders desiring additional information about those documents and provisions of law should refer to such documents and provisions.

Capitalization

The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Funds as of March 31, 2007 and the pro forma capitalization of the Acquiring Fund if the Reorganizations had occurred on that date. The net assets include an accrual for estimated Reorganizations expenses in the amount of $255,672, and estimated distributions in excess of net income of $2,260,785. The actual exchange ratio will be determined based on the relative net asset value per share and the number of shares outstanding of each Fund on the Closing Date.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) is made as of the day of , 2007, by and between the Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), on behalf of its series, the Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund, (the “Acquiring Fund”), with its principal place of business at 90 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302-3973, and on behalf of its series, (the “Acquired Fund”), with its principal place of business at 90 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302-3973. The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Funds” and individually as a “Fund.”

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of a “reorganization” as defined in Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The reorganization (the “Reorganization”) will consist of (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for (A) the issuance of Class A and Class P shares of common stock of the Acquiring Fund (collectively, the “Acquiring Fund Shares” and each, an “Acquiring Fund Share”) to the Acquired Fund, and (B) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund on the closing date of the Reorganization (the “Closing Date”) (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”), and (2) the distribution by the Acquired Fund, on or promptly after the Closing Date as provided herein, of the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation and dissolution of the Acquired Fund, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type;

WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund is authorized to issue shares of common stock;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company have determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund shareholders and the Acquired Fund shareholders and is not dilutive of the interests of those shareholders; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND ASSUMPTION OF THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES; LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND.

1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets as set forth in Paragraph 1.2 (the “Acquired Assets”) to the Acquiring Fund free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than those arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), liens for taxes not yet due and contractual restrictions on the transfer of the Acquired Assets) and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor: (i) to issue to the Acquired Fund the number of Acquiring Fund Shares, including fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, of each class with an aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) equal to the NAV of the Acquired Fund attributable to the corresponding class of the Acquired Fund’s shares, as

A-1

determined in the manner set forth in Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2; and (ii) to assume the Assumed Liabilities. Such transactions shall take place at the Closing (as defined in Paragraph 3.1 below).

1.2. (a) The Acquired Assets shall consist of all of the Acquired Fund’s property, including, without limitation, all portfolio securities and instruments, dividends and interest receivables, cash, goodwill, contractual rights and choses in action of the Acquired Fund or the Acquired Fund in respect of the Acquired Fund, all other intangible property owned by the Acquired Fund, originals or copies of all books and records of the Acquired Fund, and all other assets of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date. The Acquiring Fund shall also be entitled to receive copies of all records that the Acquired Fund is required to maintain under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder to the extent such records pertain to the Acquired Fund.

(b) The Acquired Fund has provided the Acquiring Fund with a list of all of the Acquired Fund’s securities and other assets as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and the Acquiring Fund has provided the Acquired Fund with a copy of the current fundamental investment policies and restrictions and fair value procedures applicable to the Acquiring Fund. The Acquired Fund reserves the right to sell any of such securities or other assets before the Closing Date (except to the extent sales may be limited by representations of the Acquired Fund contained herein and made in connection with the issuance of the tax opinion provided for in Paragraph 8.5 hereof) and agrees not to acquire any portfolio security that is not an eligible investment for, or that would violate an investment policy or restriction of, the Acquiring Fund.

1.3. The Acquired Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations that are or will become due before the Closing.

1.4. On or as soon after the Closing Date as is conveniently practicable (the “Liquidation Date”), the Company shall liquidate the Acquired Fund and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record, determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders”), the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to Paragraph 1.1 hereof. Each Acquired Fund Shareholder shall receive the number of Acquiring Fund Shares of the class corresponding to the class of shares of beneficial interest in the Acquired Fund (the “Acquired Fund Shares”) held by such Acquired Fund Shareholder that have an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the Acquired Fund Shares held of record by such Acquired Fund Shareholder on the Closing Date. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the Company instructing itself to transfer the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund established and maintained by the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of the Acquiring Fund Shares due the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The Company shall promptly provide itself with evidence of such liquidation and distribution. All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will simultaneously be cancelled on the books of the Acquired Fund, and the Acquired Fund will be dissolved. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

1.5. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent. Any certificates representing ownership of Acquired Fund Shares that remain outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be cancelled and shall no longer evidence ownership of Acquired Fund Shares.

A-2

1.6. Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquired Fund Shares on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

1.7. Any reporting responsibility of the Company with respect to the Acquired Fund for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing of regulatory reports, Tax Returns (as defined in Paragraph 4.1), or other documents with the Commission, any state securities commissions, and any federal, state, or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

2. VALUATION

2.1. The NAV of the Acquiring Fund Shares and the NAV of the Acquired Fund shall, in each case, be determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m., [Eastern] time) on the Closing Date (the “Valuation Time”). [Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC] [WH: Can the brackets be removed here?] (the “Adviser”) shall compute the NAV per Acquiring Fund Share in the manner set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), or By-Laws, and the Acquiring Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information. The Adviser shall compute the NAV per share of the Acquired Fund in the manner set forth in the Articles, or By-laws, and the Acquired Fund’ then-current prospectus and statement of additional information. The Adviser shall confirm to the Acquiring Fund the NAV of the Acquired Fund.

2.2. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities shall be determined by the Adviser by dividing the NAV of the applicable Acquired Fund, as determined in accordance with Paragraph 2.1, by the NAV of each Acquiring Fund Share, as determined in accordance with Paragraph 2.1.

2.3. The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund shall cause the Adviser to deliver a copy of its valuation report to the other party at Closing (as defined in Paragraph 3.1). All computations of value shall be made by the Adviser in accordance with its regular practice as pricing agent for the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund.

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1. The Closing Date shall be December 14, 2007, or such later date as the parties may agree to in writing. All acts necessary to consummate the Reorganization (the “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date unless otherwise provided. The Closing shall be held at the principal offices of the Acquiring Fund, 90 Hudson Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302-3973, or at such other place as the parties may agree.

3.2. Portfolio securities that are held other than in book-entry form in the name of State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Acquired Fund Custodian”) as record holder for the Acquired Fund shall be presented by the Acquired Fund to State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Acquiring Fund Custodian”) for examination no later than three business days preceding the Closing Date. Such portfolio securities shall be delivered by the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund Custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer, in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary federal and state stock transfer stamps or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof.

A-3

Portfolio securities held of record by the Acquired Fund Custodian in book-entry form on behalf of the Acquired Fund shall be delivered by the Acquired Fund Custodian through the Depository Trust Company to the Acquiring Fund Custodian and by the Acquiring Fund Custodian recording the beneficial ownership thereof by the Acquiring Fund on the Acquiring Fund Custodian’s records. Any cash shall be delivered by the Acquired Fund Custodian transmitting immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Acquiring Fund Custodian the cash balances maintained by the Acquired Fund Custodian and the Acquiring Fund Custodian crediting such amount to the account of the Acquiring Fund.

3.3. The Acquiring Fund Custodian shall deliver within one business day after the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (a) the Acquired Assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date, and (b) all necessary transfer taxes including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid, or provision for payment has been made in conjunction with the delivery of portfolio securities as part of the Acquired Assets.

3.4. If on the Closing Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such exchange or elsewhere is disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the NAV of the Acquiring Fund Shares or the Acquired Fund pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

3.5. The Acquired Fund shall deliver, or cause its transfer agent to deliver, at the Closing a list of the names, addresses, federal taxpayer identification numbers and backup withholding and nonresident alien withholding status and certificates of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding Acquired Fund Shares owned by each Acquired Fund Shareholder as of the Valuation Time, certified by the President or a Secretary of the Company and its Treasurer, Secretary or other authorized officer (the “Shareholder List”) as being an accurate record of the information (a) provided by the Acquired Fund Shareholders, (b) provided by the Acquired Fund Custodian, or (c) derived from the Company’s records by such officers or one of the Company’s service providers. The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to the Acquired Fund a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date, or provide evidence satisfactory to the Acquired Fund that such Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund’s account on the books of the Acquiring Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, stock certificates, receipts, or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1. Except as set forth on a disclosure schedule previously provided by the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund, the Company, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, represents, warrants, and covenants to the Acquiring Fund, which representations, warranties, and covenants will be true and correct on the date hereof and on the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

(a) The Acquired Fund is a series of the Company. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company has the power to own all of its properties and assets and to perform the obligations under this Agreement. The Acquired Fund is not required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or where failure to qualify would subject it to any material liability or disability. Each of the Company and the Acquired Fund has all necessary federal, state, and local authorizations to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted;

A-4

(b) The Company is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the Investment Company Act is in full force and effect;

(c) The Company is not in violation of, and the execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Acquired Fund will not result in a violation of, any provision of the Company’s Articles or By-Laws or any material agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, or other undertaking with respect to the Company to which the Acquired Fund is a party or by which the Acquired Fund or any of its assets are bound;

(d) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is currently pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Acquired Fund or any of the Acquired Fund’s properties or assets. Neither the Company nor the Acquired Fund know of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings. The Acquired Fund is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially adversely affects the Acquired Fund’s business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein or would be binding upon the Acquiring Fund as the successor to the Acquired Fund;

(e) The Acquired Fund has no material contracts or other commitments (other than this Agreement or agreements for the purchase and sale of securities entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its obligations under this Agreement) that will not be terminated at or before the Closing Date and no such termination will result in liability to the Acquired Fund (or the Acquiring Fund);

(f) The statement of assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Acquired Fund, and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied and fairly reflect, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Acquired Fund as of such date and the results of its operations for the period then ended, and all known liabilities, whether actual or contingent, of the Acquired Fund as of the date thereof are disclosed therein. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities will be in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and will fairly reflect, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Acquired Fund as of such date and the results of its operations for the period then ended. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, the Acquired Fund will not have any known or contingent liabilities on the Closing Date. No significant deficiency, material weakness, fraud, significant change, or other factor that could significantly affect the internal controls of the Acquired Fund have been disclosed or is required to be disclosed in the Acquired Fund’s reports on Form N-CSR to enable the chief executive officer and chief financial officer or other officers of the Acquired Fund to make the certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and no deficiency, weakness, fraud, change, event or other factor exists that will be required to be disclosed in the Acquiring Fund’s Form N-CSR after the Closing Date;

11.1. This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Company and the Trust. In addition, either party may at its option terminate this Agreement at or before the Closing Date:

(a) because of a material breach by the other of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein to be performed at or before the Closing Date;

(d) by resolution of the Trust’s Board of Trustees if circumstances should develop that, in the good faith opinion of such Board, make proceeding with the Agreement not in the best interests of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders; or

13. NOTICES

1. ORGANIZATION

Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) and Lord Abbett Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) as open-end management investment companies. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on December 27, 1983. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on September 11, 1991 and was reorganized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on July 22, 2002.

The Company consists of ten separate portfolios (each, a “Fund”) and their respective classes and the Trust consists of six separate portfolios and their respective classes (collectively the “Funds”). These Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements cover Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The Acquiring Fund is diversified as defined under the Act.

The investment objective of the Acquiring Fund is to seek the maximum amount of interest income exempt from Federal income tax as is consistent with reasonable risk.

Each class has different expenses and dividends. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of the Classes B, C, P and Y shares, although there may be a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) as follows: certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months following certain purchases made without a sales charge; Class B shares redeemed before the sixth anniversary of purchase; and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares on the eighth anniversary of the original purchase of Class B shares. As of the date of this report the Acquiring Fund has not issued Class P or Y shares.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. BASIS OF COMBINATION

The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed acquisition of Lord Abbett Florida Series, Lord Abbett Michigan Series, Lord Abbett Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund, Lord Abbett Texas Tax-Free Income Fund and Lord Abbett Washington Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Acquired Funds”), by Acquiring Fund as if such acquisition had taken place as of March 31, 2007.

Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the combination of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of the Acquired Funds in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value (“NAV”). The Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the related Statements of Operations of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Fund have been combined as of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007. Following the acquisition, the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving fund and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the surviving fund will not be restated.

The accompanying pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Funds included in their respective semiannual reports dated March 31, 2007.

The following notes refer to the accompanying pro forma financial statements as if the above-mentioned acquisition of the Acquired Funds by the Acquiring Fund had taken place as of March 31, 2007.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Investment Valuation–Securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in good faith by the Board of Directors/Trustees. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates current value.

(b) Security Transactions–Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.

(c) Investment Income–Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.

(d) Federal Taxes–It is the policy of the Acquiring Fund to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

(e) Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Company and Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the funds within the Company and Trust on a pro-rata basis. Expenses, excluding class specific expenses, are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. Class A, B, C and P shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan.

(f) Futures Contracts–The Acquiring Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts for bona fide hedging purposes including hedging against changes in interest rates and securities prices. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Acquiring Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, open futures contracts are marked to market for Federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end.

(g) When-Issued Municipal Bonds–The Acquiring Fund may purchase new issues of municipal bonds, which are generally offered on a when-issued basis, with delivery and payment normally taking place approximately one month after the purchase date.

(h) Municipal Bonds Held in Trust–The Acquiring Fund may invest in leveraged residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”) issued by tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity into which a Fund, or an agent on behalf of the Fund, transfers municipal securities. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates, which are generally issued to the Fund which made the transfer or to affiliates of the Fund. A Fund’s transfer of the municipal securities to a TOB does not qualify for sale treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” therefore the municipal securities deposited into a TOB are presented in the Acquiring Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from the transactions are reported as a liability for trust certificates on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Similarly, proceeds from residual certificates issued to affiliates, if any, from the transaction are included in the liability for trust certificates. Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by a Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are reported as expenses of a Fund. The floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by a Fund include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer a corresponding share of the municipal securities from the TOB to the Fund. At March 31, 2007, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs, the liability for trust certificates and the range of interest rates for such certificates were:

Fund	Liability for Trust Certificates		Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates		Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs
National	$	62,933,570	3.68% - 3.74	%	$	127,805,427
Florida	5,750,000		3.65% - 3.71	%	12,209,360
Michigan	5,500,000		3.67% - 3.69	%	11,633,040
Minnesota	3,500,000		3.71% - 3.73	%	7,321,320
Texas	1,000,000		3.65% - 3.68	%	2,130,300
Washington	1,750,000		3.65% - 3.67	%	3,786,320
National Pro Forma Combined	$	80,433,570	3.65% - 3.74	%	$	164,885,767

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise, a Fund’s investment in TOB Residuals likely will adversely affect a Fund’s net investment income and distributions to shareholders. Fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities deposited into the TOB may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset values per share.

While the Acquiring Fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities such as TOB Residuals, they generally do not allow the Acquiring

Fund to borrow money for purposes of making investments. The Acquiring Fund’s management believes that the Acquiring Fund’s restrictions on borrowings do not apply to the secured borrowings deemed to have occurred for accounting purposes.

3. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fees

The Company and Trust each have a management agreement with Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), pursuant to which Lord Abbett supplies each Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, pays the remuneration of officers, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of the Acquiring Fund’s investment portfolio. The management fee is based on the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

First $1 billion	.45	%
Next $1 billion	.40	%
Over $2 billion	.35	%

For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the effective management fee paid to Lord Abbett for the Acquiring Fund was at an annualized rate of .45% of the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets:

Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement at an annual rate of .04% of the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets.

For the period October 1, 2006 through January 31, 2008, Lord Abbett contractually agreed to reimburse expenses for the Acquiring Fund, to the extent necessary so that each class’ total annual operating expenses (excluding interest expense) do not exceed the following annual rates:

Class	% of Average Daily Net Assets
A	0.95	%
B	1.60	%
C	1.60	%
P	1.05	%

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, Lord Abbett is voluntarily reimbursing approximately an additional $803,000 of expenses for the Acquiring Fund. Lord Abbett may stop the voluntary reimbursements at any time.

12b-1 Distribution Plan

The Funds have adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A, B, C and P shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, which provides for the payment of ongoing distribution and service fees to Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (“Distributor”), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. The fees are accrued daily at annual rates based upon average daily net assets as follows:

Fee	Class A(2)		Class B		Class C%(3)		Class P
Service	.25	%(1)	.25	%	.25	%	.20	%
Distribution	.10	%	.75	%	.75	%	.25	%

(1) Annual service fee is .15% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares sold prior to June 1, 1990 for the Acquiring Fund.

(2) Effective April 1, 2007, the Rule 12b-1 fee each Fund will pay on Class A shares was reduced from 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares to 0.20%. Accordingly, as of that date, the amount of asset-based compensation that Distributor may pay to dealers was reduced from 0.25% to 0.15% of Class A shares’ average daily net assets.

(3) Effective April 1, 2007, the Rule 12b-1 fee each Fund will pay on Class C shares was reduced to a blended rate calculated based on 1.00% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares held for less than one year and 0.80% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares held for one year or more. All Class C shareholders of a Fund will bear Rule 12b-1 fees at the same rate. Accordingly, as of that date, the amount of asset-based compensation that the distributor may pay to dealers for Class C shares of a Fund was reduced from 0.90% to 0.75% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for such shares held for one year or more. No such compensation will be paid to dealers before the first anniversary of a Class C share purchase.

Two Directors/Trustees and certain of the Company’s and Trust’s officers have an interest in Lord Abbett.

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

5. DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION

The Company’s and Trust’s officers and the two Directors/Trustees who are associated with Lord Abbett do not receive any compensation from the Company or Trust for serving in such capacities. Outside Directors’/Trustees’ fees are allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds based on the net assets of each fund. There is an equity based plan available to all outside Directors/Trustees under which outside Directors/Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their fees. The deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested proportionately in the funds. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Directors’/Trustees’ fees on the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations and in Directors’/Trustees’ fees payable on the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

The Company and Trust have entered into agreements with the Funds’ transfer agent and custodian, whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of each Fund’s expenses.

7. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT

State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) is the Company’s and Trust’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating each Fund’s NAV.

8. INVESTMENT RISKS

The Acquiring Fund’s performance and the value of its investments will vary in response to changes in interest rates and other market factors. As interest rates rise, a fund’s investments typically will lose value. This risk is usually greater for long-term bonds and particularly for inverse floaters than for short-term bonds. As a result, the Acquiring Fund, which tends to invest in longer-term bonds and inverse floaters to a greater degree than some municipal bond funds, normally will have greater market risk than those funds.

Additional risks that could reduce the Acquiring Fund’s performance or increase volatility include call risk, governmental risk, legislative risk, management risk and credit risk. Credit risk varies among states based upon the economic and fiscal conditions of each state and the municipalities within the state.

There is the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond may fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to a Fund, a risk that is greater with municipal bonds rated below investment grade (sometimes called “lower rated bonds” or “junk bonds”). The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in such bonds. Some issuers, particularly of junk bonds, may default as to principal and/or interest payments after a Fund purchases their securities. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in risk of default or the deterioration in the creditworthiness of an issuer, may result in losses to the Fund. Junk bonds are considered predominantly speculative by traditional investment standards. In addition, the market for lower rated municipal bonds generally is less liquid than the market for higher rated bonds, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations which could result in losses.

The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in private activity bonds (sometimes called “AMT paper”). The credit quality of such bonds usually is directly related to the credit standing of the private user of the facilities.

The Acquiring Fund may invest no more than 20% of its net assets in TOB Residuals. A TOB Residual, sometimes referred to as an inverse floater or a residual interest bond (“RIB”), is a type of “derivative” debt instrument with a floating or variable interest rate that moves in the opposite direction of the interest rate on another specific fixed-rate security (“specific fixed-rate security”). Changes in the interest rate on the specific fixed-rate security inversely affect the residual interest paid on the TOB Residual, with the result that when

interest rates rise, TOB Residuals’ interest payments are lowered and their value falls faster than securities similar to the specific fixed-rate security. When interest rates fall, not only do TOB Residuals provide interest payments that are higher than securities similar to the specific fixed-rate security, but their values also rise faster than such similar securities.

In addition, loss may result from a Fund’s investments in certain derivative transactions such as futures contracts, swap transactions, interest rate caps, inverse floaters and similar transactions. These instruments may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate and substantial losses to the Fund. They also may increase a Fund’s interest rate risk.

The Acquiring Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for such securities can take place a month or more after the transaction date. During this period such securities are subject to market fluctuations.

9. SUMMARY OF CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

The pro forma NAV assumes the issuance of shares of the Acquiring Fund as if such shares had been issued at March 31, 2007, in connection with the proposed reorganizations. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the total NAV of shares of all of the Acquired Funds as of March 31, 2007, divided by the NAV of the shares of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2007. The pro forma number of shares outstanding for the combined fund consists of the following as of March 31, 2007:

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Acquiring Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than October 1, 2007. Management believes there will be no impact to the financial statements as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and is subject to Section 2-418 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of the State of Maryland controlling the indemnification of the directors and officers.

The general effect of these statutes is to protect officers, directors and employees of Registrant against legal liability and expenses incurred by reason of their positions with the Registrant. The statutes provide for indemnification for liability for proceedings not brought on behalf of the corporation and for those brought on behalf of the corporation, and in each case place conditions under which indemnification will be permitted, including requirements that the officer, director or employee acted in good faith. Under certain conditions, payment of expenses in advance of final disposition may be permitted. The By-Laws of Registrant, without limiting the authority of Registrant to indemnify any of its officers, employees or agents to the extent consistent with applicable law, make the indemnification of its directors mandatory subject only to the conditions and limitations imposed by the above-mentioned Section 2-418 of Maryland Law and by the provisions of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as interpreted and required to be implemented by SEC Release No. IC-11330 of September 4, 1980.

In referring in its By-Laws to, and making indemnification of directors subject to the conditions and limitations of, both Section 2-418 of the Maryland Law and Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act, Registrant intends that conditions and limitations on the extent of the indemnification of directors imposed by the provisions of either Section 2-418 or Section 17(h) shall apply and that any inconsistency between the two will be resolved by applying the provisions of said Section 17(h) if the condition or limitation imposed by Section 17(h) is the more stringent. In referring in its By-Laws to SEC Release No. IC-11330 as the source for interpretation and implementation of said Section 17(h), Registrant understands that it would be required under its By-Laws to use reasonable and fair means in determining whether indemnification of a director should be made and undertakes to use either (1) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified (“indemnitee”) was not liable to Registrant or to its security holders by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office (“disabling conduct”) or (2) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of such disabling conduct, by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of Registrant nor parties to the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Also, Registrant will make advances of attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by a director in his defense only if (in addition to his undertaking to repay the advance if he is not ultimately entitled to indemnification) (1) the indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking, (2) Registrant shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (3) a majority of a quorum of the non-interested, non-party directors of Registrant, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expense incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,

suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In addition, Registrant maintains a directors’ and officers errors and omissions liability insurance policy protecting directors and officers against liability for breach of duty, negligent act, error or omission committed in their capacity as directors or officers. The policy contains certain exclusions, among which is exclusion from coverage for active or deliberate dishonest or fraudulent acts and exclusion for fines or penalties imposed by law or other matters deemed uninsurable.
