STATEMENT

125 Broad Street, 10th Floor

New York, New York 10004

September     , 2006

Dear Shareholder:

A special meeting of your Legg Mason-affiliated mutual fund will be held at Citigroup Center, 153 East 53^rd Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022, on November 10, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. (New York time), to vote on the proposals listed in the enclosed joint proxy statement.

The purpose of the special meeting is to seek shareholder approval of a number of proposals recently approved by the Funds’ Directors and Trustees (the “Board Members”). These proposals implement initiatives resulting from Legg Mason’s acquisition of Citigroup Asset Management in December 2005.

Following the acquisition of Citigroup Asset Management, Legg Mason undertook a comprehensive review of all of the mutual funds formerly advised by Citigroup Asset Management with a goal of moving the Funds to a more cohesive and rational operating platform. After that review, Legg Mason recommended a number of governance- and investment-related proposals to streamline and restructure the Fund complex, and at Board meetings in June and July 2006, the Board Members approved these proposals, subject to approval by the Funds’ shareholders where required.

A number of critical steps to implement these proposals require your approval. We are seeking your approval of these proposals through the enclosed proxy statement.

Elect Board Members. As described in the enclosed proxy statement, shareholders are being asked to approve a number of governance-related matters. All shareholders are being asked to elect Board Members of their Funds. Currently, ten different Boards oversee the open-end Funds in the Fund complex (the closed-end funds have different Boards). The proposal would realign and consolidate the Boards so that the open-end Funds would be overseen by just two Boards (one generally focusing on equity Funds and one generally focusing on fixed-income Funds). This realignment and consolidation may enable the Boards to focus more attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of Funds they oversee. Also, it is expected that having fewer Boards will facilitate greater communication between Fund management and the Boards.

Regroup and Reorganize Funds. Shareholders of many Funds are also being asked to approve reorganizations that will generally group equity Funds together and fixed-income Funds together, while also reducing the number of separate legal entities in the Fund complex. Currently, the Funds are comprised of forty-five separate legal entities. The proposal, which will decrease the number of legal entities to nine, should improve the overall administration of the Funds and should enable each Board to oversee a group of Funds that generally invests in similar types of securities.

Adopt Single Form of Organization. In addition, it is proposed that the Funds adopt the Maryland business trust form of organization. Currently, the Funds are organized as Massachusetts trusts or series of Massachusetts trusts, or Maryland corporations or series of Maryland corporations. Each trust or corporation has its own governing documents, and the terms of these documents may vary widely. Adopting a single form of organizational structure, with a single form of trust document, should simplify the administration and oversight of the Funds.

Revise Fundamental Investment Policies. Shareholders of most Funds also are being asked to approve a number of investment-related matters, as described in the enclosed proxy statement. Each Fund has adopted certain investment policies that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. Shareholders of nearly all of the Funds are being asked to approve one or more proposals to standardize these so-called “fundamental” investment policies for their Funds and, in the case of many Funds, to convert fundamental investment objectives to non-fundamental investment objectives. Also, the Boards of some Funds have determined that certain existing restrictions should be removed or revised due to the development of new practices or changes in applicable law. These changes are intended to simplify compliance monitoring and to provide additional flexibility for the Funds. You should note, however, that each Fund will continue to be managed in accordance with its prospectus and statement of additional information, as well as any policies or guidelines that may have been established by the Fund’s Board or investment manager.

New Manager or Sub-adviser. In an effort to take advantage of the broad investment expertise within Legg Mason, the Boards of certain Funds have approved a new Legg Mason-affiliated investment manager or sub-adviser for their Funds. Shareholders of one Fund are being asked to approve a new management agreement with a new investment manager, and to approve a related change of classification of the Fund from diversified to non-diversified. Shareholders of five other Funds are being asked to approve new sub-advisory agreements with new sub-advisers.

Fund Liquidations. Shareholders of two Funds are being asked to approve the liquidation of their Funds. The Boards of these Funds have determined, based in part on the Boards’ consideration of the current size and prospects for growth of the Funds, that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to liquidate these Funds.

You should note that a separate joint proxy statement is being sent to shareholders of certain other Funds, who are being asked to vote on some of the matters discussed above. Also, shareholders of several Funds are being asked to consider combinations involving their Funds. Separate proxy materials relating to those proposed Fund combinations have been, or will be, sent to shareholders of those Funds.

The Board Members responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals with respect to your Fund. However, before you vote, please read the full text of the joint proxy statement for an explanation of each of the proposals.

Your vote on these matters is important. Even if you plan to attend and vote in person at the meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.

If you have any questions about the proposals to be voted on, please call Computershare Fund Services at (866) 402-1719.

Sincerely,

R. Jay Gerken

President and Chief Executive Officer

IMPORTANT NEWS

FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the matters to be voted on.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why am I receiving this Joint Proxy Statement?

A. As a shareholder of one or more of the Legg Mason Partners Funds, Smith Barney Funds, CitiFunds or Salomon Brothers Funds, you are being asked to vote on several proposals. The table beginning on page 3 of this Joint Proxy Statement details which proposals apply to your Fund(s). In addition, the enclosed proxy card(s) indicate the Fund(s) in which you hold shares and the proposals that are applicable to each.

Q. Why am I being asked to vote on these proposals?

A. These proposals implement initiatives that follow the acquisition by Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”), in 2005, of substantially all of the worldwide asset management business of Citigroup Inc. The proposals cannot be effected without shareholder approval. Your Fund’s Board has approved the proposals applicable to your Fund, believes they are in shareholders’ best interests and recommends that you approve them.

Q. Will my vote make a difference?

A. Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance of the Funds, no matter how many shares you own. Your vote can help ensure that the proposals recommended by the Boards can be implemented. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Funds.

Q. What am I being asked to vote “FOR” in this Joint Proxy Statement?

A. Shareholders are being asked to vote “FOR” several proposals that have been approved by the Boards. Not all proposals apply to your Fund(s). You are only being asked to vote on those proposals that affect your Fund(s).

• Proposal 1: Elect Board Members. Shareholders of each Fund are being asked to elect Board Members for that Fund.

Currently, the Funds are overseen by ten different Boards. This proposal would consolidate the Boards so that each of the Funds would be overseen by just two Boards (one generally focusing on equity Funds and one generally focusing on fixed-income Funds). This consolidation may enable the Boards to focus more attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of Funds they oversee. Also, it is expected that having fewer Boards will facilitate greater communication between Fund management and the Boards.

• Proposal 2: Regroup and Reorganize Funds. Shareholders of many Funds are being asked to approve reorganizations that will generally group equity Funds together and fixed-income Funds together, as well as reduce the number of separate legal entities within the Fund complex that file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The reorganizations will not result in the combination of assets of any Fund with any other Fund, and will not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds or change the fees or expenses payable by Fund shareholders. These reorganizations are referred to as the “Step 1 Reorganizations” in this Joint Proxy Statement. (Please note that you may separately be asked to approve another reorganization for your Fund that would combine the Fund’s assets with those of another Fund.)

Currently, the Funds are comprised of forty-five legal entities. This proposal, which would reduce that number to nine, should improve the overall administration of the Funds and should enable each Board to oversee a group of Funds that generally invests in similar types of securities. For purposes of this proposal, a Fund is considered an equity fund if it usually invests largely in equity or equity-like investments, even if it invests in some fixed-income investments. A Fund is considered a fixed-income fund if it usually invests largely in fixed-income investments.

Although only shareholders of certain Funds are required to vote on Proposal 2, most Funds are expected to be involved in the reorganizations and, therefore, all shareholders should read Proposal 2.

• Proposal 3: Adopt a Single Form of Organization as a Maryland Business Trust. Shareholders of many of the Funds are being asked to adopt the Maryland business trust form of organization for their Fund(s). The reorganizations will not result in the combination of assets of any Fund with any other Fund, and will not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds or change the fees or expenses payable by Fund shareholders. These reorganizations are referred to as the “Step 2 Reorganizations” in this Joint Proxy Statement. (Please note that you may separately be asked to approve another reorganization for your Fund that would combine the Fund’s assets with those of another Fund.)

Currently, the Funds are organized as Massachusetts trusts or series of Massachusetts trusts, or Maryland corporations or series of Maryland corporations. Each trust or corporation has its own governing documents, and the terms of these documents may vary widely. Adopting a single form of organizational structure, with a single form of trust document, should simplify the administration and oversight of the Funds. Legg Mason has its headquarters in Maryland, and many of the other funds it sponsors already are organized under Maryland law.

Although only shareholders of certain Funds are required to vote on Proposal 3, most Funds are expected to be involved in the reorganizations and, therefore, all shareholders should read Proposal 3.

• Proposal 4: Revise Fundamental Investment Policies. Shareholders of nearly all Funds are being asked to approve one or more proposals to standardize certain fundamental investment policies for their Fund(s) and, in the case of many Funds, to convert fundamental investment objectives to non-fundamental investment objectives.

Each Fund has adopted certain investment policies that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Boards of the Funds have proposed that these restrictions be standardized to the extent practicable to simplify compliance monitoring and to provide additional flexibility for the Funds. Also, the Boards of some Funds have determined that certain existing restrictions should be removed or revised due to the development of new practices or changes in applicable law. You should note, however, that each Fund will continue to be managed in accordance with its prospectus and statement of additional information, as well as any policies or guidelines that may have been established by the Fund’s Board or investment manager.

• Other Matters. Shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to:

• Proposal 5:approve the liquidation of their Fund(applies only to Legg Mason Partners Real Return Strategy Fund and Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund).

The Boards of those Funds have determined that it is in the best interests of the shareholders of those Funds to terminate the Funds and liquidate their assets and distribute the proceeds to the shareholders. These determinations were based, in part, on the Boards’ consideration of the current size and prospects for growth of the Funds’ assets.

• Proposal 6(a): approve a new management agreement with a new investment manager(applies only to Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value).

• Proposal 6(b): approve a change of classification of the Fund from diversified to non-diversified(applies only to Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value).

• Proposal 7: approve a new sub-advisory agreement with a new investment sub-adviser(applies only to Legg Mason Partners Social Awareness Fund, Legg Mason Partners Financial Services Fund, Legg Mason Partners International All Cap Growth Fund, Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable International All Cap Growth Portfolio and Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Social Awareness Stock Portfolio).

There are investment advisers within the Legg Mason family of investment advisers that have not previously provided services to the Funds. In an effort to take advantage of the broad investment expertise within Legg Mason, certain Boards have approved a new Legg Mason-affiliated adviser for their Funds. Shareholder approval of the new agreements is required.

Q. Am I being asked to approve a combination of my Fund with another Fund?

A. Fund combinations are not addressed by this Joint Proxy Statement. As part of the initiatives discussed above, shareholders of a number of Funds are being asked to consider a combination of their Fund with another Fund. If this type of combination is proposed for your Fund, you will receive (or may have already received) a separate proxy statement/prospectus to consider and vote on that proposal.

Q. Are the Funds paying for preparation, printing and mailing of this Joint Proxy Statement?

A. Legg Mason or its affiliates have agreed to pay the mailing service and proxy solicitation costs associated with this Joint Proxy Statement, which are estimated at approximately $15.0 million. Other costs attributable to this Joint Proxy Statement, including postage and printing costs, which are estimated at approximately $12.5 million, will be split, with Legg Mason paying approximately $5.625 million and the Funds paying approximately $6.875 million. Costs that are borne by the Funds will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of their respective net assets, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more particular Funds.

Q. Who do I call if I have questions?

A. If you need more information, or have any questions on how to cast your vote, please call Computershare Fund Services, the Funds’ proxy solicitor, at (866) 402-1719.

Q. How do I vote my shares?

A. You can provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy cards or by computer by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy cards and following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide. Alternatively, you can vote your shares by signing and dating the enclosed proxy card, and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

You may also attend the meeting and vote in person. However, even if you intend to do so, we encourage you to provide voting instructions by one of the methods described above.

It is important that you vote promptly.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors or Trustees (each, a “Board” and each Director or Trustee, a “Board Member”) of each of the Legg Mason Partners Funds, Smith Barney Funds, CitiFunds and Salomon Brothers Funds listed in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders (each, a “Fund”) of proxies to be voted at a special meeting of shareholders of each such Fund to be held at 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on November 10, 2006, at Citigroup Center, 153 East 53^rd Street, 14^th Floor, New York, New York 10022 (for each Fund, a “Meeting”), and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. A Meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for such Fund’s Meeting is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each of the Funds. This Joint Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed by the Boards on or about September [        ], 2006.

Each Fund is organized as either a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Trust” or “Massachusetts Trust”), or a series of a Trust, or a Maryland corporation (each, a “Corporation” or “Maryland Corporation”), or a series of a Corporation. The Trusts and Corporations are registered investment companies. A list of each Trust, Corporation, and the series of each Trust and Corporation (if any), is set forth inAppendix A.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 12, 2006 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meetings. Shareholders of certain Funds are entitled to one vote for each share held. Shareholders of other Funds are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the Fund represented by the shareholder’s shares of that Fund. The manner in which shareholders of each Fund are entitled to vote is shown inAppendix B.

The number of shares of each Fund outstanding at the close of business on September 12, 2006 and the net assets of each Fund as of that date are shown inAppendix B.

The Fund of which you are a shareholder is named on the proxy card included with this Joint Proxy Statement. If you own shares in more than one Fund as of September 12, 2006, you may receive more than one proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, please sign, date and return EACH proxy card you receive, or if you provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please vote on the proposals affecting EACH Fund you own.

All properly executed proxies received prior to a Fund’s Meeting will be voted at that Meeting. On the matters coming before each Meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is properly executed and returned and no choice is specified with respect to one or more proposals, the shares will be voted “FOR” each such proposal. Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them with respect to any or all proposals at any time before a vote is taken on a proposal by filing with the applicable Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold shares through a bank or other intermediary or if you are the holder of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (as discussed below), you should consult your bank or intermediary or your participating insurance company regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Photographic identification will be required for admission to the Meeting.

1

Annual reports are sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following the Fund’s fiscal year end. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the Fund at 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004 or by calling toll free at (800) 451-2010. Copies of annual and semi-annual reports of each Fund are also available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Joint Proxy Statement may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or the Joint Proxy Statement, or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

Please also note that, as part of the initiatives that are designed to eliminate overlapping and duplicative product offerings within the Legg Mason family of mutual funds, shareholders of several Funds are being asked to consider combinations involving their Funds. Separate proxy materials relating to those proposed Fund combinations have been, or will be, sent to applicable shareholders.

The following table shows which proposals apply to each Fund. Additionally, the enclosed proxy card(s) indicate the Fund(s) in which you hold shares and the proposals that are applicable to each.

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. The quorum requirement for each Fund is set forth inAppendix B. For certain Funds that are organized as a series of a Corporation, a quorum of the shareholders of the Corporation as a whole is required in order to take any action at the Meeting, and, in addition, a quorum of the shareholders for the particular Fund is required in order for action to be taken by the shareholders of that Fund with respect to Proposals 2, 4, 5, 6(a), 6(b) and 7. Such Funds are identified inAppendix B. For any other Fund that is identified inAppendix A as being organized as a series of a Corporation or a series of a Trust, a quorum of the shareholders of the Trust or Corporation as a whole is required in order to take any action at the Meeting with respect to Proposal 1 and, for some Trusts, Proposal 3, and a quorum of the shareholders for the particular Fund is required in order for action to be taken by the shareholders of that Fund with respect to Proposals 2, 4, 5, 6(a), 6(b) and 7, and, for some Funds, Proposal 3.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Proposal before the Meetings. The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) may take the position that a broker-dealer that is a member of the NYSE and that has not received instructions from a customer or client prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions may not vote such customer or client’s shares with respect to Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 6(b) or 7. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meetings, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

Shares of certain Funds are offered to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Annuity Funds”). Shares of the Variable Annuity Funds are held by the variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance products offered by the separate accounts of participating life insurance companies. However, in accordance with current law and interpretations thereof, participating insurance companies will vote shares held in the separate accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a holder that does not specify how the holder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on September 12, 2006 will be entitled to submit instructions to their participating insurance company. Each participating insurance company will vote Variable Annuity Fund shares held in separate accounts for which no timely instructions are received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, as well as shares it owns, in the same proportion as those shares for which such insurance company receives voting instructions. For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, the term “shareholder” (when used to refer to the beneficial holder of ownership interests in a Fund) shall also be deemed to include holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, or if you hold shares through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a

8

manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer, service agent or participating insurance company specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

Proposal 1:

• Nominees must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the shares of the applicable Trust or Corporation voted at the Meeting.

• For a Trust or Corporation that contains one or more series, the shareholders of all series will vote together as a single class and the voting power of the shares of each series will be counted together in determining the results of the voting for Proposal 1.

Proposal 2:

• Requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, or a “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, or approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, as may be indicated for such Fund inAppendix B.

• A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

Proposal 3:

• Requires the approval of the shareholders of all applicable Funds that are series of the applicable Trusts, either voting together as a single class or voting as separate series, as indicated inAppendix B. The vote required for approval by each applicable Trust is set forth inAppendix B.

Proposals 4, 6(a), 6(b) and 7:

• Requires a “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.

Proposal 5:

• Requires a “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of each class of shares of the applicable Fund.

9

The following table summarizes these voting requirements:

	Shareholders Entitled to Vote	Vote Required for Approval
Proposal 1 (Election of Board Members)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund voting together as a single class with shareholders of the other Funds, if any, that are series of the same Trust or Corporation.	Each nominee must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the shares of the applicable Trust or Corporation voted at the Meeting.
Proposal 2 (Approval of Step 1 Agreement and Plan of Reorganization)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A majority of shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, or a “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, or a majority of shares entitled to vote, as indicated for such Fund inAppendix B.
Proposal 3 (Approval of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to Organize Funds as Series of Maryland Business Trusts)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund voting together with shareholders of the other Funds, if any, that are series of the same Trust.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of each series of the applicable Trust or a majority of shares entitled to vote of such Trust, with all series of the Trust voting together as a single class, as indicated inAppendix B.
Proposal 4 (Approval of Revisions to Fundamental Investment Policies)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.
Proposal 5 (Approval of Fund Liquidations)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of each class of shares of the applicable Fund.
Proposal 6(a) (Approval of New Management Agreement)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.
Proposal 6(b) (Approval of Change of Classification from Diversified to Non-Diversified)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.
Proposal 7 (Approval of New Sub-Advisory Agreement)	Shareholders of the applicable Fund.	A “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.

Approval of each proposal will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast “FOR” that proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered “votes cast” and, therefore, do not constitute a vote “FOR” proposals. Abstentions effectively result in a vote “AGAINST” Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 6(b) and 7. Any broker non-votes would effectively be treated as a vote “AGAINST” Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 6(b) and 7. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of the voting on Proposal 1.

PROPOSAL 1—TO ELECT BOARD MEMBERS

The purpose of this Proposal 1 is to elect Board Members of each Trust or Corporation named in the tables below.

Currently, ten different Boards oversee the Funds. This Proposal 1 would realign and consolidate the Boards so that each of the Funds would be overseen by just two Boards, with one generally focusing on equity Funds (“Board A”) and one generally focusing on fixed-income Funds (“Board B”). The shareholders of each Fund are being asked to vote for the election of Board Members of either Board A or Board B as indicated in the tables below.

10

It is intended that the enclosed proxy card will be voted for all nominees (each, a “Nominee”) for the applicable Board unless a proxy contains specific instructions to the contrary. The Nominees’ term of office will commence upon their acceptance of their elections, which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2007.

You should be aware that, in the case of those Funds that are identified below with an asterisk, if the reorganizations being proposed in Proposals 2 and 3 are approved by the applicable shareholders, then the Board Members that you are being asked to elect in this Proposal 1 may differ from Board Members that ultimately oversee your Fund. SeeAppendix M for the Board that will oversee your Fund if the reorganizations are consummated.

Reasons for Realignment and Consolidation

On December 1, 2005, Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”) acquired substantially all of the worldwide asset management business of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”). Following the acquisition, Legg Mason undertook a review of the investment

15

advisory operations it had acquired and the operations of the Funds with a view to integrating the acquired business with Legg Mason’s asset management business and to streamlining the Legg Mason family of mutual funds by eliminating overlapping and duplicative Funds. At meetings held during June and July 2006, Legg Mason made proposals to the Existing Boards to achieve these goals. Among Legg Mason’s proposals was a recommendation that the number of Boards overseeing the Funds be reduced by the election of a single Board (Board A) intended to oversee Funds that usually invest largely in equity or equity-like investments, even if they invest in some fixed-income investments (such Funds, “Equity Funds”), and a second Board (Board B) intended to oversee Funds that usually invest largely in fixed-income investments (such Funds, “Fixed-Income Funds”), and that the number of independent Board Members be set at an appropriate level for each Board.

The Boards have determined that realigning the Existing Boards into a smaller number of Boards may provide benefits to shareholders of the Funds. With a single Board overseeing Funds of a specific type, the Board will be better able to focus its attention on issues common to many of the Funds overseen by the Board and may be able to act to resolve these issues in the same time frame. Legg Mason’s senior management and senior portfolio managers have advised the Boards that they expect to meet more frequently with the new Boards because their time will be allocated among fewer Boards and that more frequent communications between the Boards and management should facilitate management’s high level planning and strategic initiatives for the entire Fund complex. More frequent contact with portfolio managers should result in more efficient and effective investment management presentations. Realigning the Existing Boards into two Boards may reduce Fund expenses, such as costs associated with holding Board and committee meetings. Finally, the Board realignment should benefit Legg Mason management, whose reduced administrative burden and costs should allow management to devote more time and resources to providing services to the Funds and to high level strategic planning.

It is intended that Board A will generally supervise Equity Funds and Board B will generally supervise Fixed-Income Funds. This realignment will be achieved as a consequence of the reorganization of the Funds described in Proposal 2. If the proposed reorganization of the Funds is not approved by shareholders of all Funds, however, it is possible that one or more Equity Funds will be overseen by Board B (which is intended to oversee Fixed-Income Funds) or that one or more Fixed-Income Funds will be overseen by Board A (which is intended to oversee Equity Funds). In that event, the Boards might consider additional steps that could be taken to achieve the desired realignment, including possibly reproposing the reorganization.

It is also intended that the Nominees, if elected, will serve as Trustees of newly established Maryland business trusts (each, a “Maryland Trust”) into which the Equity Funds and the Fixed-Income Funds are proposed to be reorganized, as described in Proposal 3. Consequently, the same Board that oversees the Equity Funds or Fixed-Income Funds prior to the reorganization of the Funds as series of Maryland Trusts will oversee the successor Funds resulting from the reorganizations.

You are being asked to elect Board Members of your Fund. Each Nominee has consented to serve on the Board to which he or she has been nominated if elected by shareholders. If, however, before the election, any Nominee refuses or is unable to serve, proxies may be voted for a replacement Nominee, if any, designated by the current Board Members. Please note that the current charter documents of Legg Mason Small Cap Core Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Inflation Management Fund and Legg Mason Partners International All Cap Growth Fund limit the size of the Board to twelve directors, and accordingly only twelve of the Nominees may serve on these Boards. Mr. Gerken, the Nominee who is an “interested person” under the 1940 Act by virtue of his position with Legg Mason, has indicated that he will not serve on these Boards if necessary in order that the size limitation is complied with. However, if these Funds are reorganized as described in Proposal 2, the Board size limitation would not apply and it is expected that Mr. Gerken will serve on the Boards of these Funds. In that case, it is also expectedthat Mr. Gerken will serve on the Boards of these Funds if the reorganizations described in Proposal 3 occur.

The Nominees’ terms of office will commence upon their acceptance of their elections, which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2007. Each Board Member will be elected to hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

The nominations of the Nominees listed below have been approved by the Board Members. Information about the Nominees for the Boards is set forth in the sections below. Each Board has determined that the number of Board Members shall be fixed at the number of Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement.

The officers of each Fund, their ages and their principal occupations during the past five years (their titles may have varied during that period) are set forth inAppendix H.

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers

The governing documents of each Trust or Corporation generally provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trust or Corporation will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Trust or Corporation, unless, as to liability to the Trust or Corporation or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. The Funds organized under Massachusetts law generally prohibit indemnification where it is finally adjudicated that those seeking indemnification did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Trust or Corporation. For Funds incorporated under Maryland law, indemnification is not permitted in the case of actions or omissions committed in bad faith or as a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or with respect to which an improper personal benefit was received or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, committed with reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful.

Certain Legal Proceedings

Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and a number of its then affiliates, including Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”) and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SaBAM”), which were then investment adviser or manager to certain of the Funds (the “Managers”), substantially all of the mutual funds then managed by the Managers (the “Defendant Funds”), and Board Members of the Defendant Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that CGMI created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Managers caused the Defendant Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to CGMI for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Defendant Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on fund assets to make undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints also alleged that the Defendant Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Defendant Funds’ contracts with the Managers, recovery of all fees paid to the Managers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

² The term “Most Recent Year,” when used in this Proposal 1, refers to the calendar year ended December 31, 2005, which coincides with the last fiscal year of certain of the Funds, as shown inAppendix X.

21

On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. On May 27, 2005, all of the Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Complaint. On July 26, 2006, the court issued a decision and order (1) finding that plaintiffs lacked standing to sue on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds in which none of the plaintiffs had invested³ and dismissing those Funds from the case (although stating that they could be brought back into the case if standing as to them could be established), and (2) other than one stayed claim, dismissing all of the causes of action against the remaining Defendants, with prejudice, except for the cause of action under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act, which the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead as a derivative claim.

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Defendant Funds in the future.

On May 31, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against SBFM, the then-investment adviser or manager to certain of the Funds and CGMI, relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Affected Funds”).

The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM and CGMI

knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Affected Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Affected Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that, at the time, included the Affected Funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Affected Funds’ boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Affected Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order required Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Affected Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan submitted for the approval of the SEC. At this time, there is no certainty as to how the above-described proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made. The order also required that transfer agency fees received from the Affected Funds since December 1, 2004, less certain expenses, be placed in escrow and provided that a portion of such fees might be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order. On April 3, 2006, an aggregate amount of approximately $9 million held in escrow was distributed to the Affected Funds.

The order required SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Fund boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, SBFM and CGMI would have been required, at their expense, to engage an independent monitor to oversee a competitive bidding process. On November 21, 2005, and within the specified timeframe, the Affected Funds’ Boards selected a new transfer agent for the Affected Fund. No Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent. Under the order, SBFM also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004.

Although there can be no assurance, SBFM does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Affected Funds.

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup completed the sale of substantially all of its global asset management business, including SBFM, to Legg Mason.

Certain of the Funds are not Affected Funds, and therefore did not implement the transfer agent arrangements described above. Those Funds have not and will not receive any portion of the distributions.

On or about May��30, 2006, John Halebian, a purported shareholder of Citi New York Tax Free Reserves, a series of CitiFunds Trust III (the “Subject Trust”), filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the independent trustees of the Subject Trust (Elliott J. Berv, Donald M. Carlton, A. Benton Cocanougher, Mark T. Finn, Stephen Randolph Gross, Diana R. Harrington, Susan B. Kerley, Alan G. Merten and R. Richardson Pettit). The Subject Trust is also named in the complaint as a nominal defendant.

The complaint alleges both derivative claims on behalf of the Subject Trust and class claims on behalf of a putative class of shareholders of the Subject Trust in connection with the 2005 sale of Citigroup’s asset management business to Legg Mason and the related approval of new investment advisory agreements by the trustees and shareholders. In the derivative claim, the plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the independent trustees breached their fiduciary duty to the Subject Trust and its shareholders by failing to negotiate lower fees or seek competing bids from other qualified investment advisers in connection with Citigroup’s sale to Legg Mason. In the claims brought on behalf of the putative class of shareholders, the plaintiff alleges that the independent trustees violated the proxy solicitation requirements of the 1940 Act,

23

and breached their fiduciary duty to shareholders, by virtue of the voting procedures, including “echo voting,” used to obtain approval of the new investment advisory agreements and statements made in a proxy statement regarding those voting procedures. The plaintiff alleges that the proxy statement was misleading because it failed to disclose that the voting procedures violated the 1940 Act. The relief sought includes an award of damages, rescission of the advisory agreement, and an award of costs and attorney fees.

In advance of filing the complaint, Mr. Halebian’s lawyers made written demand for relief on the Board of the Subject Trust, and the Board’s independent trustees formed a demand review committee to investigate the matters raised in the demand, and subsequently in the complaint, and recommend a course of action to the Board. The committee, after a thorough review, has determined that the independent trustees did not breach their fiduciary duties as alleged by Mr. Halebian, and that the action demanded by Mr. Halebian would not be in the best interests of the Subject Trust. The Board of the Subject Trust (the trustee who is an “interested person” of the Subject Trust, within the meaning of the 1940 Act, having recused himself from the matter), after receiving and considering the committee’s report and based upon the findings of the committee, subsequently also has so determined and, adopting the recommendation of the committee, has directed counsel to move to dismiss Mr. Halebian’s complaint. A response to the complaint is due in September 2006. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of this matter.

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests for relief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties in the future.

Shareholder Approval

Proposal 1, the election of the Nominees, must be approved by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists. The votes of each Fund in the same Trust or Corporation will be counted together with respect to the election of the Nominees to the Board and the shareholders of each Fund will vote together as a single class with the shareholders of all other Funds that are series of the same Trust or Corporation.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the Nominees to Board A or Board B, as applicable.

24

PROPOSAL 2—TO APPROVE STEP 1 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

The shareholders of all Funds should read this Proposal 2. Most Funds addressed in this Joint Proxy Statement will participate in the restructuring initiative described in this Proposal 2 and in Proposal 3 below, even if shareholders of a particular Fund are not voting on this Proposal.

This proposal is to be voted on by shareholders of the following Funds:

Legg Mason Partners Investment Grade Bond Fund Legg Mason Partners Government Securities Fund Legg Mason Partners Social Awareness Fund California Money Market Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Intermediate-Term Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund Massachusetts Money Market Portfolio New York Money Market Portfolio Legg Mason Partners New York Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Pennsylvania Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Value Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Convertible Fund Legg Mason Partners Dividend and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Exchange Reserve Fund Legg Mason Partners Small Cap Core Fund, Inc. Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Appreciation Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Capital and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Growth and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Index Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Aggressive Growth Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Fundamental Value Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Oregon Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Massachusetts Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Inflation Management Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Adjustable Rate Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable High Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Money Market Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Adjustable Rate Income Fund Legg Mason Partners International Fund Legg Mason Partners Growth and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Growth and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Government Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Dividend Strategy Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Diversified Large Cap Growth Fund Legg Mason Partners Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund Legg Mason Partners International Large Cap Fund Legg Mason Partners Short Duration Municipal Income Fund Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers California Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers New York Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers Mid Cap Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Opportunities Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Emerging Markets Equity Fund Salomon Brothers Balanced Fund Salomon Brothers Small Cap Growth Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios I, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Global High Yield Bond Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios I, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Strategic Bond Portfolio

Shareholders of each Fund listed above are being asked by that Fund’s Board to approve the first step in a two step restructuring initiative. Shareholders of certain other Funds, as indicated inAppendix J, are not required to approve this Step 1, but will nonetheless participate in it. In Step 1, it is proposed that the number of legal entities within the open-end Fund complex be reduced. In Step 2, the approval of which is sought in Proposal 3 of this Joint Proxy Statement, it is proposed that all Funds (other than the Capital Preservation Funds identified below) be reorganized as series of Maryland business trusts and operate under a single form of declaration of trust. Funds that are proposed to participate in Step 1 of the restructuring initiative are referred to as “Predecessor Funds.” Because most Funds addressed in this Joint Proxy Statement will participate in the restructuring initiative, shareholders of all Funds should read this Proposal 2, even if they are not voting on it.

25

Today, the Fund complex includes over one hundred forty open-end Funds that are organized within forty-five Corporations and Trusts which were formed in different states and have charter documents that may vary widely. Each of the legal entities is separately registered with the SEC.

It is proposed that the number of separate legal entities be reduced from forty-five to nine. To achieve this result, each Predecessor Fund will be reorganized as a newly formed corresponding series (each, a “Successor Fund”) of one of seven existing legal entities (each, a “Successor Entity”). The eighth existing legal entity, which will house the master funds in the master-feeder structure, is not covered by this Joint Proxy Statement. The ninth existing legal entity, which will house Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund and Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II, is not part of the reorganizations. Each Successor Fund will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the corresponding Predecessor Fund, and will have Fund agreements substantially identical to those of the Predecessor Fund.

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Predecessor Fund and each Successor Fund approved an agreement and plan of reorganization substantially in the form attached hereto asAppendix I, pursuant to which each Predecessor Fund would be reorganized as a corresponding Successor Fund. Each of these reorganizations is referred to as a “Step 1 Reorganization,” and each agreement and plan of reorganization is referred to as a “Step 1 Reorganization Agreement.”

Each of the Predecessor Funds is organized as a Maryland Corporation, or a series of a Maryland Corporation, or as a Massachusetts Trust, or a series of a Massachusetts Trust (each such Maryland Corporation or Massachusetts Trust, a “Predecessor Entity”). Each Successor Entity is organized as a Massachusetts Trust. A list of all Predecessor Funds, Predecessor Entities, Successor Funds and Successor Entities, marked to indicate those Funds voting on this Proposal 2, is set forth inAppendix J. Each Predecessor Entity and Successor Entity is a registered investment company. Please note that certain Predecessor Entities are also Successor Entities because certain Funds will be reorganized from one Massachusetts Trust to another and, at the same time, certain Funds will be reorganized into that Trust. This will be done to generally group the Equity Funds together and the Fixed-Income Funds together.

At the Meeting, shareholders of each Predecessor Fund named at the beginning of this Proposal 2 will be asked to approve the applicable Step 1 Reorganization Agreement. If approved, it is expected that each Step 1 Reorganization would take effect during the first quarter of 2007 but may occur at a different time agreed upon in accordance with the terms of the applicable Step 1 Reorganization Agreement. No Step 1 Reorganization is contingent upon any other Step 1 Reorganization, and the closing date for any one Step 1 Reorganization may or may not be the same as the closing date for any other Step 1 Reorganization.

Shareholders of Funds identified inAppendix K are being asked separately to approve other reorganizations for those Funds. As described below in “Other Restructuring Initiatives,” if another reorganization is approved for a Fund inAppendix K, that Fund will not participate in a Step 1 Reorganization.

Reasons for the Step 1 Reorganizations

As noted above, a primary effect and benefit of the Step 1 Reorganizations will be to reduce the number of separate legal entities that will need to file registration statements with the SEC. This reduction is designed to achieve certain economies, such as in registration fees paid by the Funds. In an entity with multiple series, redemptions in one series can help offset SEC registration fees paid by another series. In addition, the reduction will allow for more Funds to be combined in a single SEC registration statement, which can help make the SEC registration process more efficient and cost effective.

Another primary benefit of the Step 1 Reorganizations will be to help achieve the goal of ensuring that the Equity Board, Board A, oversees most of the Equity Funds within the Fund complex and the Fixed Income Board, Board B, oversees most of the Fixed-Income Funds. This should also help achieve certain efficiencies within the management organizations.

The Step 1 Reorganizations will not result in the combination of assets of any Predecessor Fund with any Successor Fund. The Successor Funds are newly created series, with no current assets or operations, that were formed specifically to acquire the assets of the corresponding Predecessor Funds. After the Step 1 Reorganizations, Successor Fund shareholders will hold the same proportionate interest in the same portfolio of assets as they held immediately prior to the Reorganizations.

26

The Step 1 Reorganizations will not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Predecessor Funds or the way they are managed. The Successor Funds will have management agreements, distribution plans, distribution agreements, other service agreements and policies and procedures substantially identical to those of their corresponding Predecessor Funds. The Step 1 Reorganizations also will not change management fees or distribution fees payable by Predecessor Fund shareholders. You should note, however, that shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve new management or sub-advisory agreements in Proposals 6(a) and 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement, respectively.

Other Restructuring Initiatives

As noted above, shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve the second step of the restructuring initiative. In Step 2, shareholders of the current series of each Successor Entity are being asked to consider the reorganization of each Successor Entity and all of its series, including each Successor Fund, as new series of a newly-created Maryland Trusts. Each of these reorganizations is referred to as a “Step 2 Reorganization,” and each agreement and plan of reorganization for that reorganization is referred to as a “Step 2 Reorganization Agreement.” The goal of the Step 2 Reorganizations is to establish a single form of legal organization for all of the Funds, with all Funds operating under uniform charter documents. See Proposal 3 of this Joint Proxy Statement for additional information regarding the Step 2 Reorganizations. In order to ensure that the Equity Board, Board A, oversees most of the Equity Funds within the Fund complex and the Fixed Income Board, Board B, oversees most of the Fixed-Income Funds, the shareholders of certain Funds are being asked by the Boards of those Funds to vote on both the Step 1 Reorganization Agreement and the Step 2 Reorganization Agreement.

A Step 2 Reorganization will not occur for a Fund if the Step 1 Reorganization for that Fund does not occur, unless the Fund is already a series of a Successor Entity and shareholders of the Successor Entity approve the Step 2 Reorganization. If the Step 1 Reorganization for a Predecessor Fund occurs, and the shareholders of the current series of the applicable Successor Entity approve the Step 2 Reorganization, immediately following the closing of the Step 1 Reorganization, the applicable Successor Fund will be reorganized as a corresponding series of a new Maryland Trust, and shareholders of that Predecessor Fund will become shareholders of that series of the Maryland Trust. If, on the other hand, the Step 1 Reorganization for a Predecessor Fund occurs, but the shareholders of the current series of the applicable Successor Entity do not approve the Step 2 Reorganization, following the Step 1 Reorganization shareholders of the Predecessor Fund will become shareholders of the corresponding Successor Fund which will remain a series of the Successor Entity.

The shareholders of the current series of each Successor Entity are also, in Proposal 1 of this Joint Proxy Statement, being asked by their Boards to elect Board Members of the Successor Entity. You should be aware that the slate of Board Members that you are being asked to elect in Proposal 1 may differ from the slate of Board Members that the current series of the applicable Successor Entity are being asked to elect in Proposal 1, and that will ultimately, if elected by such Successor Entity’s shareholders, oversee the corresponding Successor Fund. See Proposal 1 for the list of nominees for each Successor Entity.

If all of the Step 1 and Step 2 Reorganizations occur, and all of the Board Members of each Successor Entity are elected as proposed in Proposal 1, the Fund complex will be structured as shown inAppendix M following the closing of the Reorganizations, with each Fund being overseen by the Board indicated inAppendix M.

The shareholders of certain Predecessor Funds identified inAppendix K(each, a “Contingent Predecessor Fund”) are also being asked to approve agreements and plans of reorganization pursuant to which each Contingent Predecessor Fund will be combined into another registered investment company or series thereof. If you are a shareholder of a Contingent Predecessor Fund, you will receive, or may have already received, a separate proxy statement seeking your approval of that reorganization. If the shareholders of your Contingent Predecessor Fund approve that reorganization and that reorganization is consummated, the Step 1 Reorganization with respect to your Contingent Predecessor Fund will not occur. It is still important that shareholders of the Funds inAppendix K vote on this Proposal 2.

Effects of the Step 1 Reorganizations

Immediately after the Step 1 Reorganizations, shareholders of the Predecessor Funds will own shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding Successor Fund that are equal in number and in value to the shares of each Predecessor Fund that were held by those shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the relevant Step 1 Reorganizations. The full value of your shares of a Predecessor Fund will be exchanged for shares of the same class of the corresponding Successor Fund without any sales load, commission or other transactional fee being imposed. For example, if you currently

27

own 100 Class A shares of a Predecessor Fund, immediately after the closing of the Step 1 Reorganization, you would own 100 Class A shares of the corresponding Successor Fund having the same net asset value as your original 100 shares of the Predecessor Fund.

As a result of the Step 1 Reorganizations, shareholders of each Predecessor Fund will become shareholders of the corresponding Successor Fund. Assuming the approval of the Step 2 Reorganizations, each Successor Fund will become a series of a Maryland Trust. For a comparison of certain attributes of Maryland Corporations and Massachusetts Trusts, please see “Comparison of the Maryland Corporations and Massachusetts Trusts” below.

For all Predecessor Funds, including those that are organized as Maryland Corporations or series of Maryland Corporations and whose shareholders are not required to vote on a Step 1 Reorganization, after the shareholders receive shares of the applicable corresponding Successor Fund, shares of the Predecessor Funds will be cancelled or redeemed, as the case may be, and the Predecessor Funds will be terminated. This Joint Proxy Statement constitutes notice of any such redemption.

Board Considerations

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Predecessor Fund and each Successor Fund approved the Step 1 Reorganizations, including the Step 1 Reorganization Agreements. To assist the Boards in their consideration of the Step 1 Reorganizations, the Boards received in advance of their meetings materials and information about the restructuring proposals.

At each Board’s June meeting, representatives of Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the independent Board Members met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the Step 1 Reorganizations.

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(a) that Legg Mason has informed the Board that it believes the reorganization of each Predecessor Fund into a corresponding Successor Fund, and the resulting reduction in the number of legal entities separately registered with the SEC, may result in future economies of scale and should also facilitate greater communication between Fund management and the Boards;

(b) that the investment objective, strategies, policies and restrictions of each Successor Fund will be identical to those of the corresponding Predecessor Fund in effect immediately prior to the closing, after giving effect to any changes to current investment objectives, policies and restrictions approved by shareholders as a result of the proposals in this Joint Proxy Statement;

(c) Legg Mason’s advice that, with the exception of those Predecessor Funds being asked to approve new management or sub-advisory agreements in Proposals 6(a) and 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement, respectively, each Successor Fund will be managed by the same personnel and in accordance with the same investment strategies and techniques utilized in the management of the corresponding Predecessor Fund immediately prior to the Step 1 Reorganization;

(d) Legg Mason’s advice that there is no anticipated material adverse effect on the Predecessor Funds’ annual operating expenses and shareholder fees and services as a result of the Step 1 Reorganizations;

(e) Legg Mason’s advice that each Successor Fund will furnish the same level of services to its shareholders as does the corresponding Predecessor Fund;

(f) that shareholders of each Predecessor Fund will own shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding Successor Fund that are equal in number, and in value, to the shares of the Predecessor Fund that were held by those shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Step 1 Reorganization;

(g) the terms of the proposed Step 1 Reorganization Agreements, including the anticipated tax-free nature of the transactions for the Predecessor Funds and their shareholders, and that the transactions are not contingent on each other and may proceed separately; and

(h) information from Legg Mason as to the estimated costs and expenses associated with the Step 1 Reorganizations and that Legg Mason would bear a portion of such costs and expenses.

28

In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members concluded that the interests of shareholders of each Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Step 1 Reorganization and that the participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Each Step 1 Reorganization is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). As a condition to the closing of each Step 1 Reorganization, the parties must receive an opinion from counsel that the Step 1 Reorganization so qualifies and that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally:

(a) neither a Predecessor Fund nor its corresponding Successor Fund will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reorganization;

(b) the corresponding Successor Fund’s tax basis in the Predecessor Fund’s assets received pursuant to the Reorganization will equal the tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Predecessor Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the Successor Fund’s holding period of such assets will include the period during which the Predecessor Fund held such assets;

(c) the corresponding Successor Fund will succeed to, and take into account the items of, the Acquired Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Internal Revenue Code;

(d) a Predecessor Fund shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the receipt of corresponding Successor Fund shares in exchange for such shareholder’s Predecessor Fund shares pursuant to the Reorganization;

(e) a Predecessor Fund shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the corresponding Successor Fund shares received pursuant to the Reorganization will equal such shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in Predecessor Fund shares held immediately before the Reorganization; and

(f) a Predecessor Fund shareholder’s holding period for the corresponding Successor Fund shares received pursuant to the Reorganization will include the period during which the shareholder held Predecessor Fund shares.

The tax opinion described above will be based on the then-existing law, will be subject to certain assumptions and qualifications and will be based in part on the truth and accuracy of certain representations by the Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Entity, the Successor Fund and the Successor Entity.

Summary of the Step 1 Reorganization Agreements

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement contemplates:

(a) the transfer of all of the assets of each Predecessor Fund to a corresponding Successor Fund in exchange for shares of the Successor Fund having an aggregate value equal to the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, and the assumption by the corresponding Successor Fund of all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund;

(b) the distribution to shareholders of each class of the Predecessor Fund of the same number of shares of the corresponding class of the respective Successor Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of that class of the Predecessor Fund held by that shareholder on the applicable Step 1 Closing Date (as defined below); and

(c) the subsequent deregistration and, if applicable, dissolution of the Predecessor Entity.

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the Step 1 Reorganization Agreements. A form of Step 1 Reorganization Agreement is attached hereto asAppendix I.

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Successor Fund will acquire all of the assets, and assume all of the liabilities, of the corresponding Predecessor Fund in exchange for shares of the Successor Fund. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, the Step 1 Reorganization is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2007

29

but may occur at a different time agreed upon by the parties. The date on which the Step 1 Reorganization occurs is referred to as the “Step 1 Closing Date.” The number of full and fractional shares of the Successor Fund you will receive in the Step 1 Reorganization will be equal to the number of full and fractional shares of the Predecessor Fund you own on the applicable Step 1 Closing Date and will be of the same class as the shares you own on the applicable Step 1 Closing Date.

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement further provides that, as part of the closing of the Step 1 Reorganization, each Predecessor Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record the shares of the respective Successor Fund received in the Reorganization, as calculated on the applicable Step 1 Closing Date as of the time for calculation of the Predecessor Fund’s net asset value as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus. The distribution with respect to each class of the Predecessor Fund’s shares will be accomplished by the transfer of the Successor Fund shares then credited to the account of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the corresponding Successor Fund to newly-created accounts on the books of that Successor Fund in the names of the Predecessor Fund shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Predecessor Fund will then be redeemed (if the Predecessor Fund is organized as a Corporation or a series of a Corporation) or liquidated (if the Predecessor Fund is organized as a Trust or a series of a Trust), and canceled on the books of the Predecessor Fund. The Successor Fund will not issue certificates representing the Successor Fund shares issued in connection with such exchange.

After such distribution, each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Predecessor Fund will take all necessary steps under applicable state law, its governing instruments, and any other applicable law to effect a complete termination of the Fund. If a Predecessor Entity has no outstanding series following the closing of the Step 1 Reorganization, it will also take all necessary steps to deregister as an investment company with the SEC.

The Step 1 Reorganization Agreements for certain Predecessor Funds, as indicated inAppendix J, must be approved by shareholders of the applicable Predecessor Fund. In the event that shareholders of a particular Predecessor Fund do not approve the Step 1 Reorganization Agreement of that Fund, that Fund will remain a series of the applicable Predecessor Entity. The Step 1 Reorganization Agreements provide that the benefits and obligations attendant to a Step 1 Reorganization are severable with respect to each Predecessor Fund and its corresponding Successor Fund.

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the relevant Step 1 Reorganization abandoned, with respect to one or more Predecessor or Successor Funds or with respect to all Predecessor Funds, at any time prior to the applicable Step 1 Closing Date, regardless of any approval by the shareholders of the Predecessor or Successor Funds, if circumstances should develop that, in the relevant Board’s opinion, make proceeding with the Reorganization inadvisable with respect to such Fund(s). The Step 1 Reorganization Agreements provide that either of the Predecessor or Successor Fund may waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions made therein for the benefit of any Predecessor or Successor Fund, as applicable, other than the requirements that: (1) each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement as to which shareholder approval is required be approved by shareholders of the applicable Predecessor Fund; and (2) the parties receive an opinion of counsel that the transactions contemplated by the Step 1 Reorganization Agreements will constitute a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Comparison of Maryland Corporations and Massachusetts Trusts

Although federal law, and particularly the 1940 Act, regulates many of the aspects of the governance of a mutual fund, each mutual fund is also organized as an entity under state law. Each of the Predecessor Funds is organized as either a Maryland Corporation or a series of a Maryland Corporation, or as a Massachusetts Trust or a series of a Massachusetts Trust. If a Step 1 Reorganization occurs with respect to a Predecessor Fund, that Predecessor Fund will become a series of one of the Successor Entities, each of which is a Massachusetts Trust.

Because the federal laws governing mutual funds are the same for funds organized as Maryland Corporations and Massachusetts Trusts, it is not expected that Step 1 Reorganizations will result in material changes in the way that the Predecessor Funds are managed and governed. However, there are differences between Massachusetts state law and Maryland state law and shareholders should consider these differences when considering this proposal.

A fund organized as a Massachusetts Trust is governed by its declaration of trust or similar instrument. Massachusetts law allows the trustees of a business trust to set the terms of a fund’s governance in its declaration. All power and authority to manage the fund and its affairs generally reside with the trustees, and shareholder voting and other rights are limited to those provided to the shareholders in the declaration. Because Massachusetts law governing business trusts provides so much

30

flexibility compared to typical state corporate statutes, the Massachusetts Trust has become a common form of organization for mutual funds. However, some consider it less desirable than other entities because it relies on the terms of the applicable declaration and judicial interpretations rather than statutory provisions for substantive issues, such as the personal liability of shareholders and trustees, and does not provide the level of certitude that corporate laws like those of Maryland, or newer statutory trust laws, provide.

A fund organized as a Maryland Corporation, on the other hand, is governed both by Maryland corporate law and the fund’s charter. For a fund organized as a Maryland Corporation, unlike a fund organized as a Massachusetts Trust, the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) prescribes many aspects of the fund’s governance. For example, the MGCL requires shareholder votes in a number of circumstances, including certain amendments of the fund’s charter.

Shareholders of a Maryland Corporation are shielded by statute from personal liability for the corporation’s acts or obligations. Shareholders of a Massachusetts Trust, on the other hand, are not shielded by statute from the trust’s liabilities. Instead, a fund’s declaration of trust typically provides that a shareholder will not be liable, and further provides for indemnification to the extent that a shareholder is found personally liable, for the fund’s acts or obligations. Each Successor Entity’s declaration contains such provisions.

Maryland Corporations

Each Maryland Corporation is governed by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), its charter and Bylaws. Some of the key provisions of the MGCL, the charters and Bylaws are summarized below. Although the Maryland Corporations’ charters and Bylaws contain some very similar provisions, there are differences in a number of provisions. The following is a summary of the MGCL, the charter and Bylaws of each Maryland Corporation and is qualified in its entirety for each Maryland Corporation by reference to the MGCL and such corporation’s charter and Bylaws.

Shareholder Voting

Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, or engage in a statutory share exchange, merger or consolidation unless approved by a vote of shareholders. Depending on the circumstances and the charter of the corporation, there may be various exceptions to these votes. Shareholders of Maryland corporations are generally entitled to one vote per share and fractional votes for fractional shares held. For each of the Maryland Corporations, shareholders of all series and classes vote together as a single class, except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or required or permitted by their charters.

Election and Removal of Trustees

Shareholders of a Maryland corporation may vote on the election and removal of directors. If the charter or Bylaws of a Maryland corporation so provides, Maryland law does not require a corporation registered as an open-end investment company to hold annual meetings in any year that the election of directors is not required under the 1940 Act. Each Maryland corporation will call a meeting of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act to elect directors.

The charter and Bylaws of each Maryland Corporation generally provides that its Board has the power to set the number of directors and, in most circumstances, to fill vacancies except when the 1940 Act requires that a vacancy be filled by the shareholders. Directors are elected by a plurality vote and serve until their successors are elected and qualify.

Amendments to the Charter

Under the MGCL, shareholders of corporations registered as open-end investment companies are entitled to vote on amendments to the charter. However, the board of directors of an open-end investment company is authorized, without a vote of the shareholders, to amend the charter to change the name of the corporation, to change the name or designation of any class or series of stock and to change the par value of the authorized shares. The board of directors is also authorized to supplement the charter to increase the number of authorized shares or the number of shares in any class or series.

31

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

The Board of Directors of each Maryland Corporation has the power to authorize the issuance of stock and, prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the Board of Directors of each Maryland Corporation is required by Maryland law to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. A Maryland corporation registered an open-end investment company may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares under certain circumstances, unless prohibited by the charter.

Series and Classes

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the equitable treatment of holders and series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. Generally, the charters of the Maryland Corporations generally permit the Boards of Directors within this statutory framework to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and, prior to issuance, to determine the rights and preferences of the shares of the series and classes.

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

Under Maryland law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for debts or obligations of a corporation. With respect to directors, the MGCL provides that a director who has met his or her statutory standard of conduct has no liability for reason of having been a director. Additionally, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The charters of the Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios I, Inc., Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc, Legg Mason Partners Fundamental Value Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Small Cap Core Fund, Inc., The Salomon Brothers Fund Inc, Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners World Funds, Inc., Legg Mason Partners New Jersey Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners California Municipals Fund, Inc., Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc, Legg Mason Partners Core Plus Bond Fund, Inc., Smith Barney Institutional Cash Management Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Appreciation Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Investment Funds, Inc., Salomon Brothers Series Fund Inc, Legg Mason Partners Lifestyle Series, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc. and Salomon Brothers Institutional Series Fund Inc each contain such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL. The charters of Legg Mason Partners Sector Series, Inc., Smith Barney Municipal Money Market Fund Inc. and Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc. do not contain such a provision.

Additionally, the charters or the Bylaws of each of the Maryland Corporations generally provide for indemnification for directors and officers. The indemnification provisions and, if applicable, provisions requiring the advance of expenses, are subject to any limitations under Maryland law and the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act generally provides that no director or officer shall be protected from liability to the corporation or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Derivative Actions

There are no provisions relating to shareholder derivative actions in the charters of any of the Maryland Corporations. Under Maryland law, applicable case law at the time of a particular derivative action will establish any requirements or limitations with respect to shareholder derivative actions.

Successor Entities

Each Successor Entity is a Massachusetts business trust and is governed by its own declaration of trust (each, a “Successor Entity Declaration”). Although the Successor Entity Declarations contain some very similar provisions, there are differences in a number of provisions. The following is a summary of some of the key provisions of the Successor Entity Declarations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each Successor Entity Declaration.

32

Shareholder Voting

The 1940 Act requires a vote of shareholders on matters that Congress has determined might have a material effect on shareholders and their investments. For example, shareholder consent is required under the 1940 Act to approve new investment advisory agreements in many cases, an increase in an advisory fee or a 12b-1 fee, changes to fundamental investment policies, the election of directors or trustees in certain circumstances, and the merger or reorganization of a fund in certain circumstances, particularly where the merger or consolidation involves an affiliated party. Shareholders of the Successor Entities are generally entitled to vote only on matters required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws and certain other matters, including: (a) the removal of trustees; (b) with respect to certain amendments to the Successor Entity Declaration; and (c) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets. Shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Income Funds (“Income Funds”), Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II (“Variable Portfolios II”) and Legg Mason Partners Investment Trust (“Investment Trust”) are additionally entitled to vote on the termination of the trust, or of any of its series or classes. Shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios IV (“Variable Portfolios IV”) are not entitled to vote on any mergers or reorganizations, except when required by the 1940 Act.

The 1940 Act does not require funds to hold an annual meeting of shareholders and none of the Successor Entities is required to hold such meetings. Each Successor Entity will call a special meeting of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act or by the terms of the Successor Entity Declaration. Shareholders of Variable Portfolios IV, Income Funds, Variable Portfolios II and Investment Trust are each entitled to one vote for each share held and fractional votes for fractional shares held, while the other Successor Entity Declarations provide for “dollar-weighted voting” which means that a shareholder’s voting power is determined, not by the number of shares he or she owns, but by the dollar value of those shares determined on the record date. For each of the Successor Entities except Income Funds, shareholders of all series and classes vote together, except where required by the 1940 Act to vote separately by series or by class, or when the trustees have determined that a matter affects only the interests of one or more series or classes of shares. For Income Funds, shareholders vote separately by series or class, except where required by the 1940 Act to vote together.

Election and Removal of Trustees

The Successor Entity Declarations provide that the trustees determine the size of the board of trustees. Each also provides that vacancies on the board of trustees may be filled by the remaining trustees, except when election by the shareholders is required under the 1940 Act. Trustees are then elected by a plurality vote of the shareholders. The declarations of trust of CitiFunds Premium Trust, CitiFunds Institutional Trust and CitiFunds Trust III also provide that a mandatory retirement age may be set by action of two-thirds of the trustees and the declarations of trust of Income Funds, Variable Portfolios II and Investment Trust contain specific provisions relating to trustees emeritus, and compensation for acting as such. The Successor Entity Declarations provide that trustees may be removed by a vote of shareholders holding two-thirds of the voting power of the trust, or by a vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees.

Amendments to the Declaration

The trustees of each Successor Entity are authorized to amend the Successor Entity Declaration without the vote of shareholders except in certain circumstances. Shareholders of CitiFunds Premium Trust, CitiFunds Institutional Trust and CitiFunds Trust III are entitled to vote on amendments that (a) would affect their right to vote granted in the applicable Successor Entity Declaration; (b) any amendment to the provision of the applicable Successor Entity Declaration relating to amendments; (c) any amendment required by law, or otherwise to be approved by shareholders; and (d) any amendment submitted to them by the trustees. Shareholders of the other Successor Entities are entitled to vote only on amendments that would adversely affect the rights of shareholders to whom the amendment is applicable.

Each Successor Entity Declaration places restrictions on amendments that may impair the exemption from personal liability granted in the Successor Entity Declaration to the shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Successor Entity or that permit assessments upon shareholders or former shareholders. In addition, some of the Successor Entity Declarations prohibit amendments that would limit the rights to indemnification or insurance provided in the Successor Entity Declaration with respect to actions or omissions of persons entitled to indemnification under the Successor Entity Declaration prior to the amendment.

33

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

The trustees of each Successor Entity are permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms as the trustees may determine. Shareholders are not entitled to any preference, preemptive, conversion, exchange or similar rights, except as the trustees may determine. The Successor Entity Declarations provide that a shareholder may redeem his or her shares at the price determined in accordance with the Successor Entity Declaration. The Successor Entity Declarations provide that the Successor Entity may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares upon certain conditions in each case as may be determined by the trustees.

Disclosure of Shareholder Holdings

The declarations of CitiFunds Premium Trust, CitiFunds Institutional Trust and CitiFunds Trust III specifically require shareholders, upon demand, to disclose to the trustees in writing information with respect to the direct and indirect ownership of shares in order to comply with various laws or regulations, and these Successor Entities may disclose such ownership if required by law or regulation. The other Successor Entity Declarations do not explicitly lay out this requirement.

Series and Classes

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the fair and equitable treatment of holders of series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. The Successor Entity Declarations give broad authority to the trustees within this statutory framework to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and to determine the rights and preferences of the shares of the series and classes, and to change those rights and preferences from time to time. Except for Income Funds, Variable Portfolios II and Investment Trust, the trustees are also authorized to terminate a series or a class at any time without a vote of shareholders. Each Successor Entity Declaration provides that shares of a series represent an interest in that series only and not in the assets of any other series or the Successor Entity generally.

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

The Successor Entity Declarations provide that shareholders have no personal liability for the obligations of the Successor Entity and require the Successor Entity to indemnify a shareholder against any loss or expense arising from any such liability. In addition, the Successor Entity will assume the defense of any claim against a shareholder for personal liability at the request of the shareholder. Similarly, the Successor Entity Declarations provide that any person who is or has been a trustee, officer or employee of the Successor Entity is not personally liable to any person in connection with the affairs of the Successor Entity, other than the Successor Entity and its shareholders. The Successor Entity Declarations also provide that trustees may rely on expert advice, and will not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The Successor Entity Declarations further provide that a trustee or officer is not liable to the Successor Entity or to any shareholder for any actions or failure to act, and require the Successor Entity to indemnify such persons for any liability and expenses incurred by such person, except in the case of his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties involved in the conduct of the individual’s office with the Successor Entity. The Successor Entity Declarations provide that the Successor Entity may advance to a trustee or officer the expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claims brought, under certain circumstances. The declarations of trust for CitiFunds Premium Trust, CitiFunds Institutional Trust and CitiFunds Trust III further provide that in making certain determinations, the trustee or officer, as the case may be, will be afforded a rebuttable presumption that he or she did not engage in conduct for which indemnification is not available. The declarations for those Successor Entities also clarify that any trustee who serves as chair of the board or of a committee of the board, lead independent trustee, or audit committee financial expert, or in any other similar capacity will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such position.

Derivative Actions

The declarations of trust for CitiFunds Premium Trust, CitiFunds Institutional Trust and CitiFunds Trust III provide that, consistent with current judicial interpretations of Massachusetts law, shareholders must make a demand on the trustees, requesting the trustees to bring an action, before the shareholders are entitled to bring or maintain a court action or claim on behalf of the Successor Entity. These declarations of trust also provide that a trustee shall not be deemed to have a personal financial interest in an action or otherwise be disqualified from ruling on a shareholder demand by virtue of the fact that such

34

trustee receives remuneration from his or her service on the board of trustees of the Successor Entity or on the boards of one or more investment companies with the same or an affiliated investment adviser or underwriter, or the amount of such remuneration. The other Successor Entity Declarations do not specifically address this issue. The Successor Entity Declarations provide that shareholders have the right to vote to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the trust or the shareholders.

Discussion of Certain Approvals

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Predecessor Fund, while it is the sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, shall:

(a) approve a management agreement between the Successor Fund and its Manager;

(b) approve a sub-advisory agreement between the Successor Fund and its Sub-Adviser; and

(c) approve the distribution plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Successor Fund and its classes of shares.

Shareholders of the Predecessor Funds are not being asked to vote on these matters. However, if you approve a Step 1 Reorganization for your Predecessor Fund, you will also, in effect, be approving these matters for your Fund’s Successor Fund. Below is additional information regarding some of the actions to be taken by the sole shareholder of each Predecessor Fund with respect to the corresponding Successor Fund in connection with the Step 1 Reorganizations.

Management Agreements

As noted above, each Predecessor Fund, as the sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, will approve a management agreement for the Successor Fund (each, a “Successor Management Agreement”). The Manager of each of the Predecessor Funds is Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (“LMPFA”). Each Predecessor Fund’s Manager will not change as a result of the Step 1 Reorganizations. Please note, however, that shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value are being asked to approve a new Manager in Proposal 6(a) of this Joint Proxy Statement.

The terms of the Successor Management Agreements will be substantially identical to the terms of the Predecessor Funds’ current management agreements with the Manager (the “Current Management Agreements”). See Proposal 6(a) for a general description of the terms of the Current Management Agreements.

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Successor Fund, including the independent Board Members, approved the Successor Management Agreement between the Fund and the Manager. In approving the Successor Management Agreements, the Boards of each of the Successor Funds, including the independent Board Members, considered the factors below.

The Board Members noted that the Manager will provide administrative and certain oversight services to the Funds, and that the Manager will delegate to one or more subadvisers the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds. The Board Members reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel and the portfolio management team that would be primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Successor Funds. The Board Members noted that these portfolio management teams are generally the same as those currently managing the Predecessor Funds.

The Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to each Successor Fund by the Manager under the Successor Management Agreements. The Board Members’ evaluation of the services expected to be provided by the Manager took into account the Board Members’ knowledge and familiarity gained as Fund Board Members, including as to the scope and quality of Legg Mason’s investment management and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by Legg Mason as to the operations, facilities, organization of the Manager and the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of their senior personnel. The Board Members also considered, based on their knowledge of Legg Mason and its affiliates, the financial resources available to the Manager and its parent organization,

35

Legg Mason. The Board Members concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided under each Successor Management Agreement were acceptable.

The Board Members also received and considered performance information for each Predecessor Fund as well as comparative information with respect to a peer group of funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board Members were provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund to the funds included in the Performance Universe. The Board Members noted that they had received and discussed with management, at periodic intervals, information comparing each Predecessor Fund’s performance against, among other things, its benchmark(s). Based on the Board Members’ review, which included careful consideration of the factors noted above, the Board Members concluded that the performance of each Predecessor Fund, under the circumstances, supported approval of the Successor Management Agreement.

The Board Members reviewed and considered the management fee that would be payable by each Successor Fund to its Manager in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services expected to be provided by the Manager, including any fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place. Additionally, the Board Members received and considered information comparing each Successor Fund’s management fees and overall expenses with those of comparable funds in both the relevant expense group and a broader group of funds, each selected and provided by Lipper. The Board Members determined that each Successor Fund’s management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the Fund under the Successor Management Agreement.

The Board Members received and considered a pro-forma profitability analysis of the Manager and its affiliates in providing services to the Predecessor Funds, including information with respect to the allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data. The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale based on its internal reorganization and synergies of operations. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how Legg Mason’s and its affiliates’ profitability would be affected by its internal reorganization and by other factors including potential economies of scale, but that based on their review of the pro forma profitability analysis, their most recent prior review of the profitability of the predecessor manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and other factors considered, they determined that the management fee was reasonable. The Board Members noted that they expected to receive profitability information on an annual basis.

In their deliberations, the Board Members also considered, and placed significant importance on, information that had been received by the Boards of the Predecessor Funds in connection with the Predecessor Fund Board’s most recent approval or continuance of each Current Management Agreement in addition to information provided in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Successor Management Agreements. The Board Members noted that Successor Management Agreements were being entered into in connection with shell reorganizations that continue the Predecessor Funds as series of different entities and do not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Predecessor Funds or the way they are managed. The Board Members noted that the terms and conditions of the Successor Management Agreements are unchanged from those of the Current Management Agreements.

In light of all of the foregoing, each Board, including the independent Board Members, approved the Successor Management Agreements. No single factor reviewed by the Board Members was identified as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Successor Management Agreements, and each Board Member attributed different weight to the various factors. The independent Board Members were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Board Members also discussed the proposed approval of the Successor Management Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present.

Sub-Advisory Agreements

As noted above, each Predecessor Fund, as the sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, will approve one or more sub-advisory agreements for the Successor Fund (each, a “Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The sub-adviser(s) of each of the Predecessor Funds is listed inAppendix B. Each Predecessor Fund’s Sub-Adviser(s) will not change as a result of the Step 1 Reorganizations. Please note, however, that the shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve a new sub-adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”) in Proposal 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement.

The terms of the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements will be substantially identical to the terms of the Predecessor Funds’ current sub-advisory agreements (the “Current Sub-Advisory Agreements”). See Proposal 7 for a general description of the terms of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements.

36

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Successor Fund, including the independent Board Members, approved the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement between the applicable Successor Fund’s adviser and the Sub-Advisers. Each Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the applicable Step 1 Reorganization. In approving the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Boards, including the independent Board Members, considered the factors below.

The Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to each Successor Fund by its Sub-Adviser under the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by Legg Mason as to the operations, facilities and organization of each Sub-Adviser, the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel of each Sub-Adviser and the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its duties under its Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board Members concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided under each Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement were acceptable.

As discussed above, the Board Members also received and considered the performance of each Predecessor Fund in comparison to each Fund’s Performance Universe. Based on their review, which included careful consideration of the factors noted above, the Board Members concluded that the performance of each Predecessor Fund, under the circumstances, supported approval of the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board Members reviewed and considered the sub-advisory fee that would be payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services expected to be provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board Members noted that the Manager, and not the Successor Funds, will pay the sub-advisory fees to the Sub-Advisers. The Board Members determined that each Successor Fund’s sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the Fund under the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Regarding the costs of the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisers under the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board Members noted that the Funds do not pay the sub-advisory fees.

In their deliberations, the Board Members also considered information that had been received by the Boards of the Predecessor Funds in connection with the Predecessor Fund Board’s most recent approval or continuance of each Sub-Advisory Agreement in addition to information provided in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board Members noted that Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements were being entered into in connection with shell reorganizations that continue the Predecessor Funds as series of different entities and do not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Predecessor Funds or the way they are managed. The Board Members further noted that the terms and conditions of the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements are unchanged from those of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements.

In light of all of the foregoing, the Board, including the independent Board Members, approved the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements. No single factor reviewed by the Board Members was identified as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements, and each Board Member attributed different weight to the various factors. The independent Board Members were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Board Members also discussed the proposed approval of the Successor Sub-Advisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager or Sub-Adviser(s) were present.

Distribution Plans

The Step 1 Reorganization Agreements also authorize each Predecessor Fund, while it is the sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, to approve a new distribution plan for the corresponding Successor Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each series of the Successor Fund (each, a “Successor Distribution Plan”).

Each Predecessor Fund has adopted a distribution plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each series of the Predecessor Fund (each, a “Predecessor Distribution Plan”). The terms of the Successor Distribution Plans are substantially identical to those of the Predecessor Distribution Plans.

Under the Predecessor Distribution Plans and Successor Distribution Plans, the service fee and/or distribution fee for each class of shares of a Fund may be used by a Fund’s principal underwriters, broker-dealers, financial intermediaries and

37

others that enter into distribution or service agreements with regard to the class (each, a “Servicing Party”) to pay expenses related to that class. These expenses include, without limitation, the following: (a) costs of printing and distributing the Fund’s prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports to prospective investors in the Fund; (b) costs involved in preparing, printing and distributing sales literature pertaining to the Fund and reports for persons other than existing shareholders; (c) an allocation of overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses of a Servicing Party; (d) payments made to, and expenses of, a Servicing Party’s financial consultants, other broker-dealers, financial intermediaries and other persons who provide support or personal services to Fund shareholders in connection with the distribution of the Fund’s shares, including but not limited to, office space, equipment, communication facilities, answering routine inquiries regarding the Fund and its operations, processing shareholder transactions, promotional, advertising or marketing services, sub-accounting and recordkeeping services (in excess of ordinary payments made to the Fund’s transfer agent or other record keeper), obtaining shareholder information and providing information about the Fund, asset allocation services, compensating sales personnel, maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts (including the payment of a continuing fee to financial consultants); and (e) interest-related expenses, or the cost of capital associated with, the amount of the foregoing expenses that exceed the distribution fee for that class and, in the case of class B shares, any contingent deferred sales charges received by a Servicing Party.

The Predecessor Distribution Plans and Successor Distribution Plans further provide that (a) the distribution fee for a particular class may be used by a Servicing Party to cover expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of that class, including, without limitation, payments to the financial consultants of the Servicing Party and other persons as compensation for the sale of the shares, (b) the service fees are primarily intended to be used by a Servicing Party to pay for servicing shareholder accounts, which may include a continuing fee to financial consultants, which fee may begin to accrue immediately after the sale of such shares, and (c) a Servicing Party may retain portions of the service fees and/or distribution fees in excess of its expenses incurred.

Each Predecessor Distribution Plan and Successor Distribution Plan recognizes that a Fund’s Manager, principal underwriter, Servicing Party or an affiliate of the foregoing may use its management or advisory fee revenues, past profits or its resources from any other source to make payment to a Servicing Party or any other entity with respect to any expenses incurred in connection with the distribution or marketing and sales of the Fund’s shares, including the activities referred to above. If any payments made by a Fund to its Manager or any affiliate thereof, including payments made from such Manager’s or affiliate’s management or advisory fee or administrative fee or payments made for shareholder services, should be deemed to be indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares within the context of Rule 12b-1, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such payments are authorized by each Predecessor Distribution Plan and Successor Distribution Plan, and such payments are not limited by the limits on service and distribution fees contained in the plans unless required by applicable law.

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Successor Fund determined that approval of the Successor Distribution Plan is in the best interests of the Fund and the shareholders of each class of the Fund. The Board of each Successor Fund considered, among other factors, the current fees payable under the Predecessor Distribution Plan, the fees payable under the Successor Distribution Plan, and comparable fees paid (and levels of service provided) within the industry.

The Board Members further considered the services to be provided for each class of shares covered by the Successor Distribution Plans, the costs of providing the services and the anticipated benefits to shareholders resulting from the services. The Board Members of each Successor Fund considered in particular the differences in costs of distributing and servicing various share classes resulting from the characteristics of each class. The Board Members noted that the Successor Distribution Plan should enable the Successor Funds to promote sales of its shares and provide appropriate levels of personal service and maintenance with respect to shareholder accounts. The Board Members concluded that the service fees and distribution fees provided under the Successor Distribution Plans are fair and reasonable and in line with industry standards. The Board Members found that the New Distribution Plans are likely to benefit the Successor Funds and the shareholders serviced by the Successor Distribution Plans. The Board Members recognized that the terms and conditions of the New Distribution Plans are unchanged from those of the Predecessor Distribution Plans.

As a result of these and other factors, the Board of each Successor Fund, including the independent Board Members, approved the New Distribution Plans.

38

Shareholder Approval

Certain Predecessor Funds, as indicated onAppendix J, may enter into Step 1 Reorganizations without shareholder approval. For the remaining Predecessor Funds, the Step 1 Reorganization Agreement must be approved by the shareholders of a Predecessor Fund to become effective for that Fund. The vote required for approval of this Proposal 2 by each such Predecessor Fund is as set forth inAppendix B.

Each Step 1 Reorganization Agreement was approved by the independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Predecessor Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board Members concluded that the interests of shareholders of each Predecessor Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Step 1 Reorganization and that the participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board Members also determined to submit the Step 1 Reorganization Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of those Predecessor Funds where shareholder approval of the Step 1 Reorganization Agreement is required.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the applicable Step 1 Reorganization Agreement.

PROPOSAL 3—TO APPROVE STEP 2 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

The shareholders of all Funds should read this Proposal 3. Most Funds addressed in this Joint Proxy Statement will participate in the restructuring initiative described in this Proposal 3 and in Proposal 2 above, even if shareholders of a particular Fund are not voting on this Proposal.

This proposal is to be voted on by shareholders of the following Funds:

Legg Mason Partners Variable Multiple Discipline Portfolio—All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Variable Multiple Discipline Portfolio—Large Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Variable Multiple Discipline Portfolio—Global All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Variable Multiple Discipline Portfolio—Balanced All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Capital and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Convertible Fund Legg Mason Partners Dividend and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Diversified Strategic Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Exchange Reserve Fund Legg Mason Partners High Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Municipal High Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Total Return Bond Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Appreciation Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Capital and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Growth and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Index Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Aggressive Growth Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios II—Legg Mason Partners Variable Fundamental Value Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Classic Values Fund Legg Mason Partners Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund Legg Mason Partners S&P 500 Index Fund Legg Mason Partners Mid Cap Core Fund Citi Premium Liquid Reserves Citi Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves Citi Institutional Cash Reserves Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves Citi Institutional Enhanced Income Fund Citi Cash Reserves Citi U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Tax Free Reserves Citi California Tax Free Reserves Citi Connecticut Tax Free Reserves Citi New York Tax Free Reserves

Shareholders of each Fund listed above are being asked by that Fund’s Board to approve the second step in a two step restructuring initiative. In Step 1, the approval of which is sought in Proposal 2 of this Joint Proxy Statement, it is proposed that the number of corporations and trusts within the open-end Fund complex be reduced. In Step 2, it is proposed that all Funds (other than the Capital Preservation Funds identified below) be redomiciled as series of Maryland Trusts with a single form of declaration of trust.

39

Each of the Funds listed above is a series of a Successor Entity. Shareholders of these Funds are being asked to approve the reorganization of the Successor Entities into newly created Maryland Trusts. If these reorganizations are approved, all series of the Successor Entities, including the newly created Successor Funds that result from the Step 1 Reorganizations described in Proposal 2, will become series of the new Maryland Trusts.

Shareholders of the Predecessor Funds are not required to approve the reorganization of the Successor Entities unless their Predecessor Funds are already series of a Successor Entity. Those Funds are listed above. However, if the Step 1 Reorganizations occur, all Funds addressed in this Joint Proxy Statement (other than the Capital Preservation Funds) will become series of the Successor Entities. As series of the Successor Entities, they would participate in the reorganization of the Successor Entities. All series of the Successor Entities, including the newly created Successor Funds, are referred to in this Proposal 3 as “Existing Funds.” Because all Funds other than the Capital Preservation Funds will participate in these reorganizations, shareholders of all Funds should read this Proposal 3, even if they are not voting on it.

Today, the Fund complex includes over one hundred forty open-end Funds that are organized within forty-five Corporations and Trusts which were formed in different states and have charter documents that vary widely. Each of the legal entities is separately registered with the SEC. Assuming shareholder approval of Proposal 2, the number of separate legal entities will be reduced from forty-five to nine, with the nine legal entities housing all of the Funds.

It is proposed that eight of the remaining nine legal entities adopt the Maryland Trust form of organization. Following the proposed domiciling, each of these legal entities will have uniform declarations of trust and by-laws. To achieve this result, certain technical legal requirements require that each Existing Fund be reorganized as a newly organized corresponding series (each, a “Destination Fund”) of a newly formed Maryland Trust (each, a “Maryland Entity”). Each Destination Fund will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the corresponding Existing Fund, and will have Fund agreements substantially identical to those of the Existing Fund. The ninth remaining legal entity, which will house Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund and Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II, is not part of the reorganizations.

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Successor Entity approved an agreement and plan of reorganization substantially in the form attached hereto asAppendix N, pursuant to which each Existing Fund would be reorganized as a corresponding Destination Fund. Each of these reorganizations is referred to as a “Step 2 Reorganization,” and each agreement and plan of reorganization for that reorganization is referred to as a “Step 2 Reorganization Agreement.”

Each Successor Entity is organized as a Massachusetts Trust and is a registered investment company. A list of all Successor Entities, Maryland Entities, and the current series thereof, is set forth inAppendix L.

At the Meeting, shareholders of each Successor Entity, with all of its current series and classes voting together, will be asked to approve the applicable Step 2 Reorganization Agreement. If approved, it is expected that the Step 2 Reorganizations will take effect during the first quarter of 2007 but may occur at a different time agreed upon in accordance with the term of the Step 2 Reorganization Agreements. No Step 2 Reorganization of a Successor Entity is contingent upon the Step 2 Reorganization of any other Successor Entity, and the closing date for any Step 2 Reorganization may or may not be the same as the closing date for other Step 2 Reorganizations.

Please note that certain Funds are both Predecessor Funds in the Step 1 Reorganizations and Existing Funds in the Step 2 Reorganizations, and that the shareholders of those Funds are being asked to vote on both the Step 1 and Step 2 Reorganization Agreements.

Shareholders of Funds identified inAppendix K are being asked separately to approve other reorganizations for those Funds. As described below in “Other Restructuring Initiatives,” if another reorganization is approved for a Fund inAppendix K, that Fund will not participate in a Step 2 Reorganization.

Reasons for the Step 2 Reorganizations

The goal of the Step 2 Reorganizations is to have a single form of organization for all the Funds, with all newly created Trusts being Maryland Trusts, each of which would have multiple series. Currently, the Funds have different organizational structures, either as Massachusetts Trusts or Maryland Corporations or series thereof, and charter documents that vary

40

widely. By adopting a single form of organizational structure, with all Funds operating with uniform charter documents, the legal administration of the Funds should be simplified.

The Destination Funds are newly created series, with no current assets or operations, that were formed specifically to acquire the assets of all series of the Successor Entities. After the Step 2 Reorganizations, Destination Fund shareholders will hold the same proportionate interest in the same portfolio of assets as they held immediately prior to the Reorganizations.

The Step 2 Reorganizations will not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Existing Funds or the way they are managed. The Destination Funds will have management agreements, distribution plans, distribution agreements, other service agreements and policies and procedures substantially identical to those of their corresponding Existing Funds. The Step 2 Reorganizations also will not change management fees or distribution fees payable by Existing Fund shareholders. You should note, however, that the shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve new management or sub-advisory agreements in Proposals 6(a) and 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement, respectively.

Other Restructuring Initiatives

As noted above, shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve the first step of the restructuring initiative. In step one, the shareholders of certain Predecessor Funds are being asked by their Fund’s Board to consider the Step 1 Reorganizations pursuant to which that Predecessor Fund would be reorganized as a newly organized corresponding series of the applicable Successor Entity. The goals of the Step 1 Reorganizations are to reduce the number of separate legal entities that will need to file registration statements with the SEC and to ensure that the Fixed Income Board oversees most of the Fixed-Income Funds, and the Equity Board oversees most of the Equity Funds. See Proposal 2 of this Joint Proxy Statement for additional information regarding the Step 1 Reorganizations.

If the Step 1 Reorganizations occur, all Predecessor Funds will become series of the Successor Entities. If shareholders of the Funds listed above in this Proposal 3 approve the Step 2 Reorganizations, upon the closing of the Step 2 Reorganizations, all Funds will be reorganized as corresponding Destination Funds and all shareholders will become shareholders of a Destination Fund.

If all the Step 1 and Step 2 Reorganizations occur, and all of the Board Members of each Successor Entity are elected as proposed in Proposal 1, the Fund complex will be structured as shown inAppendix M following the closing of the Reorganizations, with each Fund being overseen by the Board indicated inAppendix M.

The shareholders of certain Existing Funds identified inAppendix K (each, a “Contingent Existing Fund”), are also being asked to approve agreements and plans of reorganization pursuant to which each Contingent Existing Fund will be combined into another registered investment company or series thereof. If you are a shareholder of a Contingent Existing Fund, you will receive, or may have already received, a separate proxy statement seeking your approval of that reorganization. If the shareholders of your Contingent Existing Fund approve that reorganization and that reorganization is consummated, the Step 2 Reorganization with respect to your Contingent Existing Fund will not occur. It is still important that shareholders of the Funds inAppendix K vote on this Proposal 3.

Effects of the Step 2 Reorganizations

Immediately after the Step 2 Reorganizations, shareholders of the Existing Funds will own shares of the corresponding class of each corresponding Destination Fund that are equal in number and in net asset value to the shares of each Existing Fund that were held by those shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Step 2 Reorganization. The full value of your shares of an Existing Fund will be exchanged for shares of the same class of the corresponding Destination Fund without any sales load, commission or other transactional fee being imposed. For example, if you currently own 100 Class A shares of an Existing Fund, immediately after the closing of the Step 2 Reorganization, you would own 100 Class A shares of the corresponding Destination Fund having the same net asset value as your original 100 shares of the Existing Fund.

As a result of the Step 2 Reorganizations, shareholders of each Existing Fund will become shareholders of the corresponding Destination Fund. For a comparison of certain attributes of Massachusetts Trusts and Maryland Trusts, please see “Comparison of the Massachusetts Trusts and Maryland Trusts” below.

Board Considerations

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Successor Entity approved the Step 2 Reorganizations, including the Step 2 Reorganization Agreements. To assist the Boards in their consideration of the Step 2 Reorganizations, the Boards received in advance of their meetings materials and information about the restructuring proposals.

At each Board’s June meeting, representatives of Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the independent Board Members met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the Step 2 Reorganizations.

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(a) that Legg Mason has informed the Board that it believes the reorganization of each Existing Fund into a corresponding Destination Fund, and the resulting adoption of a single form of organization and uniform charter documents for all the Funds, should simplify the administration and oversight of the Funds;

(b) that the investment objective, strategies, policies and restrictions of each Existing Fund will be identical to those of the corresponding Destination Fund;

(c) Legg Mason’s advice that each Destination Fund will be managed by the same personnel and in accordance with the same investment strategies and techniques utilized in the management of the corresponding Existing Fund immediately prior to the Step 2 Reorganization, after giving effect to any changes to any new management or sub-advisory agreements and changes in fundamental policies approved by shareholders as a result of the proposals in this Joint Proxy Statement;

(d) Legg Mason’s advice that there is no anticipated material adverse effect on the Existing Funds’ annual operating expenses and shareholder fees and services as a result of the Step 2 Reorganizations;

(e) Legg Mason’s advice that each Destination Fund will furnish the same level of services to its shareholders as does the corresponding Existing Fund;

(f) that shareholders of each Existing Fund will own shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding Destination Fund that are equal in number, and in value, to the shares of the Existing Fund that were held by those shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Step 2 Reorganization;

(g) the terms of the proposed Step 2 Reorganization Agreements, including the anticipated tax-free nature of the transactions for the Existing Funds and their shareholders, and that the transactions are not contingent on each other and may proceed separately; and

(h) information received from Legg Mason as to the estimated costs and expenses associated with the Step 2 Reorganizations and that Legg Mason would bear a portion of such costs and expenses.

In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Existing Fund. The Board Members concluded that the interests of shareholders of each Existing Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Step 2 Reorganization and that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Each Step 2 Reorganization is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a condition to the closing of each Step 2 Reorganization, the parties must receive an opinion from counsel that the Step 2 Reorganization so qualifies and that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally:

(a) neither an Existing Fund nor its corresponding Destination Fund will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reorganization;

(b) the corresponding Destination Fund’s tax basis in the Existing Fund’s assets received pursuant to the Reorganization will equal the tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Existing Fund immediately prior to the

42

Reorganization, and the Destination Fund’s holding period of such assets will include the period during which the Existing Fund held such assets;

(c) the corresponding Destination Fund will succeed to, and take into account the items of, the Acquired Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Internal Revenue Code;

(d) an Existing Fund shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the receipt of corresponding Destination Fund shares in exchange for such shareholder’s Existing Fund shares pursuant to the Reorganization;

(e) an Existing Fund shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the corresponding Destination Fund shares received pursuant to the Reorganization will equal such shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in Existing Fund shares held immediately before the Reorganization; and

(f) an Existing Fund shareholder’s holding period for the corresponding Destination Fund shares received pursuant to the Reorganization will include the period during which the shareholder held Existing Fund shares.

The tax opinion described above will be based on the then-existing law, will be subject to certain assumptions and qualifications and will be based in part on the truth and accuracy of certain representations by the Existing Fund, the Successor Entity, the Destination Fund and the Maryland Entity.

Summary of the Step 2 Reorganization Agreements

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement contemplates:

(a) the transfer of all of the assets of each Existing Fund to a corresponding Destination Fund in exchange for shares of the Destination Fund having an aggregate value equal to the assets less liabilities of the Existing Fund, and the assumption by the corresponding Destination Fund of all of the liabilities of the Existing Fund;

(b) the distribution to shareholders of each class of the Existing Fund of the same number of shares of the corresponding class of the respective Destination Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of that class of the Existing Fund held by that shareholder on the applicable Step 2 Closing Date; and

(c) the subsequent dissolution and deregistration of the Successor Entity.

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the Step 2 Reorganization Agreements. A form of Step 2 Reorganization Agreement is attached hereto asAppendix N.

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Destination Fund will acquire all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the corresponding Existing Fund in exchange for shares of the Destination Fund. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, such Step 2 Reorganization is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2007 but may occur at a different time agreed upon by the parties. The date on which the Step 2 Reorganization occurs is referred to as the “Step 2 Closing Date.” The number of full and fractional shares of the Destination Fund you will receive in the Step 2 Reorganization will be equal to the number of full and fractional shares of the Existing Fund you own on the applicable Step 2 Closing Date and will be of the same class as the shares you own on the applicable Step 2 Closing Date.

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement further provides that, as part of the closing of each Step 2 Reorganization, each Existing Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record the shares of the respective Destination Fund received in the Step 2 Reorganization, as calculated on the applicable Step 2 Closing Date as of the time for calculation of the Existing Fund’s net asset value as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus. The distribution with respect to each class of the Existing Fund’s shares will be accomplished by the transfer of the Destination Fund shares then credited to the account of the Existing Fund on the books of the corresponding Destination Fund to newly-created accounts on the books of that Destination Fund in the names of the Existing Fund shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Existing Fund will then be canceled on the books of the Existing Fund. The Destination Fund will not issue certificates representing the Destination Fund shares issued in connection with such exchange. In connection with a Step 2 Reorganization, each Maryland Entity will assume the SEC registration of its corresponding Successor Entity.

After such distribution, each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Existing Fund will take all necessary steps under applicable state law, its governing instruments, and any other applicable law to effect a complete termination of

43

the Fund. If a Successor Entity has no outstanding series following the closing of the Step 2 Reorganization, it will also take all necessary steps to deregister as an investment company with the SEC.

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement must be approved by the shareholders of the applicable Successor Entity, with all applicable Existing Funds voting together. Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Step 2 Reorganization abandoned, with respect to one or more Existing Funds or Destination Funds or with respect to all Existing Funds, at any time prior to the applicable Step 2 Closing Date, regardless of any approval by the shareholders of the Existing Funds, if circumstances should develop that, in the relevant Board’s opinion, make proceeding with the Step 2 Reorganization inadvisable with respect to such Fund(s). The Step 2 Reorganization Agreements provide that either of the Existing Funds or the Destination Funds may waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions made therein for the benefit of any Existing Fund or Destination Fund, as applicable, other than the requirements that: (1) each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement be approved by shareholders of the applicable Successor Entity; and (2) the Successor Entity and Maryland Entity receive an opinion of counsel that the transactions contemplated by the Step 2 Reorganization Agreements will constitute a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Discussion of Maryland Trusts

Although federal law, and particularly the 1940 Act, regulates many of the aspects of the governance of a mutual fund, each mutual fund is also organized as an entity under state law. If the shareholders of your Successor Entity approve the Step 2 Reorganizations, you will become a shareholder of a Destination Fund that is a series of a Maryland Entity, which is organized as a Maryland business trust. A Maryland business trust is an unincorporated business association that is established under, and governed by, Maryland law. Maryland law provides a statutory framework for the powers, duties, rights and obligations of the trustees and shareholders of the business trust, while the more specific powers, duties, rights and obligations of the trustees and the shareholders are determined by the trustees as set forth in the Maryland Entity’s declaration of trust.

The Declarations of Trust for the Maryland Entities (each, a “Declaration”) are substantially identical to each other. Each Declaration provides flexibility to the trustees in the conduct of the Funds’ business and in the governance of the Funds and also provides for broad authority consistent with Maryland law. Many of the provisions of the Declarations are designed to permit the Destination Funds to operate more efficiently and in a cost effective manner. Of course, each Destination Fund is also subject to federal laws and regulations, and in particular, the 1940 Act, which provides a comprehensive regulatory scheme for investment companies, the rights of shareholders and the duties and obligations of the trustees. Some of the more significant provisions of the Declarations are described below.

Shareholder Voting

The 1940 Act requires a vote of shareholders on matters that Congress has determined might have a material effect on shareholders and their investments. For example, shareholder consent is required under the 1940 Act to approve new investment advisory agreements in most cases, an increase in an advisory fee or a 12b-1 fee, changes to fundamental investment policies, the election of directors or trustees in certain circumstances, and the merger or reorganization of a fund in certain circumstances, particularly where the merger or consolidation involves an affiliated party. Each Declaration provides for shareholder voting as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws but otherwise permits, consistent with Maryland law, actions by the trustees without seeking the consent of shareholders. For example, the trustees may amend the Declaration without shareholder approval. This provision permits the trustees to act quickly in response to competitive or regulatory conditions without the cost and delay of a shareholder meeting when the trustees believe that the amendment is in the best interests of shareholders. Similarly, the trustees have broad authority to provide for the merger or consolidation of the trust into another trust or entity, to reorganize the trust, or any series or class into another trust or entity or a series or class of another entity, to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the trust or any series or class to another entity, or a series or class of another entity, or to terminate the trust or any series or class.

The 1940 Act does not require funds to hold an annual meeting of shareholders, and the Destination Funds do not require such meetings. Each Destination Fund will call special meetings of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act or by the terms of the Declaration. The Declarations provide for “dollar-weighted voting” which means that a shareholder’s voting power is determined, not by the number of shares he or she owns, but by the dollar value of those shares determined on the record date. The Declarations provide that shareholders of all series and classes vote together, except where required

44

by the 1940 Act to vote separately by series or by class, or when the trustees have determined that a matter affects only the interests of one or more series or classes of shares.

Election and Removal of Trustees

The Declarations provide that the trustees may establish the number of trustees. The Declarations also provide that vacancies on the Board may be filled by the remaining trustees, except when election of trustees by the shareholders is required under the 1940 Act. Trustees are then elected by a plurality of votes cast by shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The Declarations also provide that a mandatory retirement age may be set by action of two-thirds of the trustees and that trustees may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of shareholders holding two-thirds of the voting power of the trust, or by a vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees. The provisions of the Declarations relating to the election and removal of trustees may not be amended without the approval of two-thirds of the trustees.

Amendments to the Declaration

The trustees of each Maryland Entity are authorized to amend the Declarations without the vote of shareholders. Each Declaration prohibits amendments that impair the exemption from personal liability granted in the Declaration to persons who are or have been shareholders, trustees, officers or, employees of the Destination Fund or that limit the rights to indemnification or insurance provided in the Declaration with respect to actions or omissions of persons entitled to indemnification under the Declaration prior to the amendment.

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

The trustees of each Maryland Entity are permitted to cause each Maryland Entity to issue an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms as the trustees may determine. Shareholders are not entitled to any appraisal, preemptive, conversion, exchange or similar rights, except as the trustees may determine. The Declarations provide that a shareholder may redeem his or her shares at the price determined in accordance with the Declaration. The Declarations also provide that a Fund may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares upon certain conditions in each case as may be determined by the trustees, giving the Fund the flexibility that may be needed to comply with recently enacted legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act. For example, a shareholder’s shares may be redeemed if the shareholder fails to provide the Fund with identification required by that Act, or if the Fund is unable to verify the information received from the shareholder. Additionally, as discussed below, shares may be redeemed in connection with the closing of small accounts.

Disclosure of Shareholder Holdings

The Declarations specifically require shareholders, upon demand, to disclose to the Fund information with respect to the direct and indirect ownership of shares in order to comply with various laws or regulations, and the Fund may disclose such ownership if required by law or regulation.

Small Accounts

Because each Fund pays certain costs that it incurs on a per-account basis, a large number of relatively small shareholders can materially increase a Fund’s expense ratio. The Declaration gives the trustees the authority to deal with small accounts in a number of ways. Typically, the only way a fund has been able to deal with these accounts has been to close out the shareholder’s account by redeeming all of the shares in the account, even if the shareholder would like to continue his or her investment in the fund. Each Maryland Entity will have this ability. Additionally, under the Declarations, the Maryland Entity would also be permitted to assess a fee for small accounts and redeem shares in the account to cover such fees, or convert the shares into another share class that is geared to smaller accounts. This would allow a Fund to allocate costs so that shareholders who maintain small accounts bear a fair portion of the costs of maintaining such accounts.

Series and Classes

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the fair and equitable treatment of holders of series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. Each of the Destination Funds has been established as a series of

45

one of the Surviving Entities. The Declarations give broad authority to the trustees within this statutory framework, and consistent with Maryland law, to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and to determine the rights and preferences, limitations and restrictions, including qualifications for ownership, conversion and exchange features, minimum purchase and account size, expenses and charges, and other features of the series and classes. The Declarations also give authority to the trustees to change any of those features, to terminate any series or class, and to combine series with other series in the Maryland Entity, or to combine one or more classes of a series with another class in that series. For example, if a Fund has one or more classes with few shares outstanding, the Fund may combine one or more of its classes with another of its classes, or convert shares of one class into shares of another class, thus permitting the closure of small classes, and decreasing both costs and administrative burdens. The Manager expects that, if the Step 2 Reorganizations are approved, it would propose that Boards consider exercising their authority to terminate certain share classes of certain Funds.

Each share of a Fund represents an interest in that Fund only and not in the assets of any other Fund or the Surviving Entity generally.

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

The Declarations provide that shareholders are not personally liable for the obligations of a Fund and require the Fund to indemnify a shareholder against any loss or expense arising from any such liability. In addition, the Fund will assume the defense of any claim against a shareholder for personal liability at the request of the shareholder. Similarly, the Declarations provide that a trustee acting in his or her capacity of trustee is not personally liable to any person other than the Funds or their shareholders, for any act, omission, or obligation of the trust. Further, a trustee is held to the same standard of conduct as a director of a Maryland corporation. This requires that a trustee perform his or her duties in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the trust or a series thereof, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Each Declaration also permits the limitation of a trustee’s liability to the fullest extent provided under Maryland law. Under Maryland law, a trustee is liable to the trust or its shareholders for monetary damages only (a) to the extent that it is proved that he or she actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services or (b) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the trustee is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the trustee’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Declarations require the Maryland Entity to indemnify any persons who are or who have been trustees, officers or employees of the Maryland Entity for any liability for actions or failure to act except to the extent prohibited by applicable federal law. Under the 1940 Act, a trustee or officer may not be indemnified by the Maryland Entity for his or her own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties. In making any determination as to whether any person is entitled to the advancement of expenses in connection with a claim for which indemnification is sought, such person is entitled to a rebuttable presumption that he or she did not engage in conduct for which indemnification is not available.

The Declarations also clarify that any trustee who serves as chair of the board or of a committee of the board, lead independent trustee, or audit committee financial expert, or in any other similar capacity will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such position.

Derivative Actions

Each Declaration provides a detailed process for the bringing of derivative actions by shareholders in order to permit legitimate inquiries and claims while avoiding the time, expense, distraction, and other harm that can be caused to a Fund or its shareholders as a result of spurious shareholder demands and derivative actions. Prior to bringing a derivative action, a demand by three unrelated shareholders must first be made on the Fund’s trustees. Each Declaration details various information, certifications, undertakings and acknowledgements that must be included in the demand. Following receipt of the demand, the trustees have a period of 90 days, which may be extended by an additional 60 days, to consider the demand. If a majority of the trustees who are considered independent for the purposes of considering the demand determine that maintaining the suit would not be in the best interests of the Fund, the trustees are required to reject the demand and the complaining shareholders may not proceed with the derivative action unless the shareholders are able to sustain the burden of proof to a court that the decision of the trustees not to pursue the requested action was not a good faith exercise of their business judgment on behalf of the Fund. The Declarations further provide that shareholders owning shares representing at least 5% of the voting power of the affected Fund must join in bringing the derivative action. If a demand is rejected, the complaining shareholders will be responsible for the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Fund in connection with the consideration of the demand, if in the judgment of the independent trustees, the demand was made

46

without reasonable cause or for an improper purpose. If a derivative action is brought in violation of the Declaration, the shareholders bringing the action may be responsible for the Fund’s costs, including attorneys’ fees.

Each Declaration states that the Maryland Entity shall be responsible for payment of attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by a complaining shareholder only if required by law, and any attorneys’ fees that the Maryland Entity is obligated to pay shall be calculated using reasonable hourly rates.

The Declarations also require that actions by shareholders against a Fund be brought only in federal court in Baltimore, Maryland, or if not permitted to be brought in federal court, then in state court in Baltimore, Maryland, and that the right to jury trial be waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Each of the Existing Funds is currently a series of a Massachusetts business trust, and each operates under charter documents that address many of the same governance matters. However, in most cases it is expected that the Declarations for the Maryland Entities will provide broader authority to the trustees than the existing charters. See Proposal 2 of this Joint Proxy Statement for a discussion of some of the key provisions of the declarations of trust governing the Successor Entities.

Discussion of Certain Approvals

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement provides that each Existing Fund, while it is the sole shareholder of the Destination Fund, shall:

(a) approve a management agreement between the Destination Fund and its Manager;

(b) approve a sub-advisory agreement between the Destination Fund and its Sub-Adviser;

(c) approve the distribution plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Destination Fund and its classes of shares; and

(d) elect Board Members of the Maryland Entity.

Shareholders of the Existing Funds are not being asked to vote on these matters. However, if you approve a Step 2 Reorganization for your Successor Entity, you will also, in effect, be approving these matters for your Fund’s Destination Fund. Below is additional information regarding some of the actions to be taken by the sole shareholder of each Existing Fund with respect to the corresponding Destination Fund in connection with the Step 2 Reorganizations.

Management Agreements

As noted above, each Existing Fund, as the sole shareholder of the corresponding Destination Fund, will approve a management agreement for the Destination Fund (each, a “Destination Management Agreement”). The Manager of each of the Existing Funds is LMPFA. Each Destination Fund’s Manager will not change as a result of the Step 2 Reorganizations. Please note, however, that shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value are being asked to approve a new Manager in Proposal 6(a) of this Joint Proxy Statement.

See Proposal 2 of this Joint Proxy Statement for a discussion of the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Boards of the Successor Entities in approving the Destination Management Agreements. The Successor Entity Boards, in approving the Destination Management Agreements, considered the same factors and reached the same conclusions as did the Predecessor Entity Boards in approving the Successor Management Agreements.

Except for Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value, the shareholders of which are being asked to vote on a new management agreement in Proposal 6(a) of this Joint Proxy Statement, the terms of the Destination Management Agreements will be substantially identical to the terms of the Existing Funds’ current management agreements (the “Current Management Agreements”). See Proposal 6(a) for a general description of the terms of the Current Management Agreements.

Sub-Advisory Agreements

As noted above, each Existing Fund, as the sole shareholder of the corresponding Destination Fund, will approve one or more sub-advisory agreements for the Destination Fund (each, a “Destination Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The sub-adviser

47

of each of the Existing Funds is listed inAppendix B. Each Existing Fund’s Sub-Adviser will not change as a result of the Step 2 Reorganizations. Please note that the shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to approve a new sub-adviser (for each Fund, a “Sub-Adviser”) in Proposal 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement.

See Proposal 2 of this Joint Proxy Statement for a discussion of the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Boards of the Successor Entities in approving the Destination Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Successor Entity Boards, in approving the Destination Sub-Advisory Agreements, considered the same factors and reached the same conclusions as did Predecessor Entity Boards in approving the Successor Management Agreements.

The terms of the Destination Sub-Advisory Agreements will be substantially identical to the terms of the Existing Funds’ current sub-advisory agreements (the “Current Sub-Advisory Agreements”). See Proposal 7 of this Joint Proxy Statement for a general description of the terms of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Distribution Plans

The Step 2 Reorganization Agreements also authorize each Existing Fund, while it is the sole shareholder of the corresponding Destination Fund, to approve any new distribution plans in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each series of the Destination Funds (each, a “Destination Distribution Plan”). The terms of the Destination Distribution Plans are substantially identical to those of the current distribution plans adopted by certain Existing Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to certain series of the Existing Funds (each, an “Existing Distribution Plan”). The terms of the Existing Distribution Plans are substantially identical to those of the Predecessor Distribution Plans (as described in Proposal 2 above).

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to a particular Successor Entity, the Step 2 Reorganization Agreement must be approved by the shareholders of all Existing Funds and classes voting together. The vote required for approval of this Proposal 3 by each Successor Entity is as set forth inAppendix B.

Each Step 2 Reorganization Agreement was approved by the independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Successor Entity, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Successor Entity also determined to submit the Step 2 Reorganization Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of that Successor Entity.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the applicable Step 2 Reorganization Agreement.

PROPOSAL 4—TO REVISE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Funds, like all mutual funds, are required by law to have policies governing certain of their investment practices that may only be changed with shareholder approval. These policies are referred to as “fundamental.” While the number of investment practices that must be governed by fundamental policies currently is small, this has not always been the case; as a result, many of the Funds have fundamental policies that are no longer required by law. In addition, certain of the Funds’ policies that remain required by law are more restrictive than the law requires. Further, the policies on any given investment practice vary, sometimes considerably, from Fund to Fund.

Each Fund’s Board has reviewed the Fund’s current fundamental policies and has concluded that certain policies should be revised and certain other policies should be eliminated. A list of the fundamental policies that will apply to each Fund if each proposal is approved by shareholders of that Fund appears inAppendix P. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the revised policies³ and to eliminate other fundamental policies or convert them into non-fundamental policies. Similarly, as discussed below, shareholders of Funds with investment objectives that cannot be changed without shareholder approval are being asked to approve the reclassification of those investment objectives as non-fundamental. Where

³ As noted inAppendix P, certain Funds currently have not adopted certain fundamental policies. In those cases, shareholders are being asked to adopt a new fundamental policy, rather than to replace an existing fundamental policy.

48

applicable, the discussion of revisions to investment policies in this Proposal 4 is meant to encompass the re-classification of investment objectives, as well.

The revised policies provide consistency and uniformity across the Funds to the extent possible (of course, the Funds will continue to be subject to a number of non-fundamental investment policies that are not uniform, as contained in their respective prospectuses). The revised fundamental policies are expected to facilitate the management of the Funds’ assets and to simplify the process of monitoring compliance with the Funds’ fundamental investment policies.

In addition, the revised fundamental policies are intended to provide the Funds with flexibility to respond to changing markets, new investment opportunities and future changes in applicable law. Accordingly, the policies are written and will be interpreted broadly. For example, many of the revised policies allow the investment practice in question to be conducted to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. It is possible that as the financial markets continue to evolve over time, the 1940 Act and the related rules may be further amended to address changed circumstances and new investment opportunities. It is also possible that the 1940 Act and the related rules could change for other reasons. For flexibility, the revised policies will be interpreted to refer to the 1940 Act and the related rules as they are in effect from time to time. This will allow the Funds to take advantage of future changes in applicable law without seeking additional costly and time-consuming shareholder approvals.

The revised fundamental policies also refer to interpretations or modifications of, or relating to, the 1940 Act from the SEC or members of its staff, as well as interpretations or modifications of other authorities having jurisdiction over the Funds. These authorities could include courts. From time to time the SEC and members of its staff, and others, issue formal or informal views on various provisions of the 1940 Act and the related rules, including through no-action letters and exemptive orders. The revised policies will be interpreted to refer to these interpretations or modifications as they are given from time to time. Again, this will allow the Funds the flexibility to take advantage of future changes in the thinking of regulators and others without the expense and delay of seeking further shareholder approvals.

Lastly, when a revised policy provides that an investment practice may be conducted as permitted by the 1940 Act, the policy will be interpreted to mean either that the 1940 Act expressly permits the practice or that the 1940 Act does not prohibit the practice.

Each Fund has an investment objective or objectives as well as fundamental policies. The revised fundamental policies do not affect the Funds’ investment objectives, which remain unchanged (although the shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to reclassify their Funds’ investment objective as non-fundamental; see Proposal 4-J).

The revised fundamental policies give many of the Funds an increased ability to engage in certain investment practices (although for certain Funds, only technical or minor wording changes are being made for certain policies), as described in more detail below. If a particular Fund takes advantage of that increased ability (to borrow money, for example), there could be a material increase in the level of investment risk associated with an investment in that Fund. Certain of the increased risks to the Funds are described below. Except where indicated below, the actual investment practices of the Funds currently are not expected to change as a result of the revised policies. It is expected that each Fund will continue to be managed in accordance with its prospectus and statement of additional information (other than the fundamental policies being changed), as well as any policies or guidelines that may have been established by the Fund’s Board or investment manager. However, a Fund’s investment practices could change in the future and for various reasons. Before a material change is made in a Fund’s investment practices in response to the revised policies, the Fund’s Board will be consulted and the Fund’s prospectus or statement of additional information will be revised to disclose the change.

Legg Mason has advised each Fund’s Board that, except as described herein, the proposed revisions to and eliminations of fundamental policies are not expected to materially affect the manner in which the Fund’s investment program is being conducted at this time. On this basis, each Fund’s Board recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote to revise or eliminate that Fund’s fundamental policies as discussed below. The Funds affected by the proposed changes are indicated at the beginning of each section below. Each section sets out the fundamental policy that will apply to each Fund if shareholders of that Fund approve the policy in that section. The descriptions in each section of the Funds’ existing fundamental policies are general, and are qualified by reference to the actual text of the existing policies that appears inAppendix P. The charts inAppendix P set out in the left column the current fundamental policies of each Fund that are proposed to be revised or eliminated, and in the right column the proposed revised policy, if applicable.

49

Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately from shareholders of other Funds with respect to their Fund’s fundamental policies. In addition, shareholders will be asked to vote on each revised policy for their Fund separately on the enclosed proxy card. No proposal to revise or eliminate any fundamental policy is contingent upon the approval of any other such proposal. As a result, it may be the case that certain of a Fund’s fundamental policies will be changed or eliminated, and others will not. If any proposal is not approved for a Fund, the Fund’s existing fundamental policy on that investment practice will remain in effect.

The revised policies that are approved will take effect when certain other matters presented to shareholders in this proxy statement take effect; this is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2007, although the actual date could be earlier or later.

To be approved for a Fund, each proposal must receive a “1940 Act Majority Vote” of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund, as such term is defined above in “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.”

Proposal 4-A: Revise the fundamental policy relating to borrowing money.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund	Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund
Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on the borrowing of money will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may not borrow money except as permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about the borrowing of money. The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and certain derivatives, may be considered to be borrowing and thus subject to the 1940 Act restrictions. On the other hand, certain practices and investments may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowing.

Currently, the borrowing policies of certain Funds limit borrowings to 5% of total assets, while the policies of other Funds limit borrowings to higher percentages up to one-third of total assets. In addition, certain Funds may borrow only from banks, and/or only for limited purposes such as the funding of shareholder redemption requests. Certain Funds’ policies also limit the ability to purchase securities when borrowings are outstanding and/or limit the ability to pledge assets. The revised policy will permit the Funds to borrow money, and to engage in trading practices that may be considered to be borrowing, to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time. The revised policy also will eliminate restrictions that borrowings be made only from banks, that limit the purchase of securities when loans are outstanding, and that limit pledging of assets.

As noted above, the revised policy will be interpreted to permit a Fund to engage in trading practices and investments that may be considered to be borrowing, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, options, futures, options on futures and forward contracts. In addition, short-term credits necessary for the settlement of securities transactions and arrangements with respect to securities lending will not be considered to be borrowings under the revised policy. Practices and investments that may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowings are not subject to the revised policy.

If this proposal is approved, certain Funds will be permitted by this fundamental policy to borrow in situations and under circumstances in which they previously could not do so. Borrowing may cause the value of a Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not borrow. This is because borrowing tends to magnify the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings. Borrowed money thus creates an opportunity for greater gains, but also greater losses. There also are costs associated with borrowing money, and these costs would offset and could eliminate a Fund’s net investment income in any given period.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-B: Revise the fundamental policy relating to underwriting.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on the underwriting of securities of other issuers will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may not engage in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers except as permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about engaging in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers. The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, certain Funds are not permitted to underwrite the securities of others, and certain other Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting. The revised policy will permit the Funds to engage in the underwriting business and to underwrite the securities of other issuers to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time, and thus will give the Funds greater flexibility to respond to future investment opportunities, subject, of course, to the investment objectives and strategies applicable to each Fund.

In most cases, each Fund’s current fundamental policy clarifies that the Fund will not be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities. This exception refers to a technical provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), which deems certain persons to be “underwriters” if they purchase a security from the issuer and later sell it to the public. Although it is not believed that the application of this 1933 Act provision would cause a Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the revised policy will be interpreted not to prevent a Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-C: Revise the fundamental policy relating to lending.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on the lending of money or other assets will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may lend money or other assets to the extent permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about lending money and other assets. The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

The Funds’ current fundamental policies on lending vary. Most generally prohibit the making of loans, but specify that investments in debt obligations and repurchase agreements, and the lending of portfolio securities, either are not subject to the restriction or do not constitute the making of loans. While many Funds currently are permitted to lend their portfolio securities to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act, certain Funds must limit securities lending to 20% of total assets,

51

and certain other Funds are not permitted to lend their securities. The revised policy will permit securities lending and the use of repurchase agreements by all Funds, and will allow the Funds to lend money and other assets, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time.

The revised policy will be interpreted not to prevent a Fund from purchasing or investing in debt obligations and loans. In addition, collateral arrangements with respect to options, forward currency and futures transactions and other derivative instruments, as well as delays in the settlement of securities transactions, will not be considered loans.

If this proposal is approved, certain Funds will be permitted by this fundamental policy to make loans of securities or money in situations and under circumstances in which they previously could not do so. While lending securities may be a source of income to the Funds, as with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the underlying securities should the borrower fail financially. However, loans would be made only when the Fund’s manager or a sub-adviser believes the income justifies the attendant risks. The Funds also will be permitted by this policy to make loans of money, including to other Funds. A Fund would have to obtain exemptive relief from the SEC to make loans to other Funds.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-D: Revise the fundamental policy relating to issuing senior securities.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on the issuing of senior securities will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may not issue senior securities except as permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about issuing “senior securities,” which are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that the fund may borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose. A fund also may borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes, and these borrowings are not considered senior securities.

The revised policy on the issuance of senior securities is similar to most Funds’ current fundamental policies on this topic. Currently, most of the Funds are not permitted to issue senior securities except as permitted by the 1940 Act or except to the extent that borrowings or certain investment practices (such as purchasing securities on a delayed delivery basis or investing in derivatives) may be deemed to be the issuance of senior securities. However, certain Funds are not permitted to issue senior securities to any extent, and certain other Funds currently do not have a fundamental policy on the issuance of senior securities. The revised policy will permit the Funds to issue senior securities to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time.

Certain widely used investment practices that involve a commitment by a fund to deliver money or securities in the future are not considered by the SEC to be senior securities. These include repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, options, futures and forward contracts, provided that in each case a fund segregates cash or liquid securities in an amount necessary to pay the obligation or the fund holds an offsetting commitment from another party. The revised policy will not affect the Funds’ existing abilities to engage in these practices. Similarly, the revised policy will be interpreted not to prevent collateral arrangements with respect to swaps, options, forward or futures contracts or other derivatives, or the posting of initial or variation margin.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

52

Proposal 4-E: Revise the fundamental policy relating to real estate.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on real estate will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except as permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about purchasing and selling real estate. The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate; however, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (real estate is generally considered illiquid). Currently, most of the Funds are not permitted to purchase or hold real estate, but they are permitted to own securities secured by real estate or interests therein, as well as securities of companies whose business consists in whole or in part of investing in real estate. Most of the Funds also are not permitted to sell real estate except for real estate they acquire as a result of their ownership of securities. As a general rule, the Funds currently do not intend to purchase or sell real estate. However, the Funds wish to preserve the flexibility to invest in real estate, as well as real estate-related companies and companies whose business consists in whole or in part of investing in real estate, to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time, consistent with their investment programs. Accordingly, the Funds will not be restricted by the revised policy from purchasing or selling real estate (however, a Fund’s investment program may not contemplate these investments).

As noted above, the revised policy will be interpreted not to prevent the Funds from investing in real estate-related companies, companies whose businesses consist in whole or in part of investing in real estate, instruments (like mortgages) that are secured by real estate or interests therein, or real estate investment trust securities.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-F: Revise the fundamental policy relating to commodities.

Funds affected: all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund	Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund
Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on commodities will be revised to read as follows:

The Fund may purchase or sell commodities or contracts related to commodities to the extent permitted by (i) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about purchasing and selling commodities. The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities and contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). However, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (certain commodities (especially physical commodities) may be considered to be illiquid).

Currently, most Funds are not permitted to invest in commodities or commodity contracts, but they are permitted to invest in certain types of derivatives and financial commodities such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts (including options on currencies to the extent consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies). However, certain Funds are not permitted to invest in futures contracts to any extent, and certain other Funds currently do not have a

53

fundamental policy about purchasing and selling commodities. Salomon Brothers Fund Inc currently may invest not more than 25% of its total assets in commodities and commodity contracts. The revised policy will permit the Funds to purchase or sell commodities to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time. Accordingly, the Funds will not be restricted by the revised policy from purchasing physical or financial commodities and commodity-related instruments (however, a Fund’s investment program may not contemplate these investments). Except as to Funds that currently are not permitted to invest in futures contracts or are limited as to investments in commodities, the revised policy will not affect the Funds’ ability to enter into futures contracts, including futures contracts on interest rates, stock indices and currencies, and options thereon, as well as forward currency transactions and options on currencies.

There may be instances when investing in physical commodities may be complimentary to a Fund’s other investments. For example, a Fund may wish to buy shares of a gold-producing company and hedge that investment with gold futures, or a Fund may wish to gain exposure to a particular commodity directly, as opposed to through a financial instrument. If a Fund were to invest in a physical commodity or a physical commodity-related instrument, the Fund would be subject to the additional risks of the particular physical commodity and its related market. The value of commodities and commodity-related instruments may be extremely volatile and may be affected either directly or indirectly by a variety of factors. As noted above, a Fund’s prospectus or statement of additional information would be amended to disclose these risks before a material portion of the Fund’s assets is invested in physical commodities.

It is not believed that certain financial instruments such as interest rate or stock index futures contracts are “commodities.” In any event, the revised policy will permit investment in these types of assets, derivatives and instruments to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations. The revised policy also will be interpreted to permit investments in exchange traded funds that invest in physical and/or financial commodities.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-G: Revise the fundamental policy relating to concentration.

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on concentration will be revised to read as follows:

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

54

Discussion. All mutual funds are required to have a fundamental policy about concentration of their investments in a particular industry or group of industries. While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Each Fund other than those specifically listed above currently has a fundamental policy that prohibits the Fund from concentrating its investments in a particular industry. Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc currently also is prohibited by its fundamental policy on this topic from investing more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of any single company (a similar restriction applies to diversified funds by virtue of the 1940 Act). Many of the existing policies reflect the 25% test noted above that is the SEC’s current interpretation of concentration. If this interpretation were to change, the Funds would not be able to change their concentration policies without seeking shareholder approval. The revised policy does not contain a stated percentage limitation and will be interpreted to refer to concentration as it may be determined from time to time.

The revised policy also will be interpreted to permit investment without limit in the following: securities of the U.S. government and its agencies or instrumentalities; securities of state, territory, possession or municipal governments and their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions; securities of foreign governments; and repurchase agreements collateralized by any of such obligations. Accordingly, issuers of the foregoing securities will not be considered to be members of any industry. There also will be no limit on investment in issuers domiciled in a single jurisdiction or country.

The revised policy also will be interpreted to give broad authority to the Funds as to how to classify issuers within or among industries. For example, Funds currently may classify financial services companies according to the end users of services (making automobile finance, bank finance and diversified finance each a separate industry), and utility companies according to services (making gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone each a separate industry). Other Funds currently treat industries such as telecommunications, electric utilities and gas utilities as separate industries. These interpretations and classifications may change over time and will be explained in the Fund’s prospectus.

Under the revised policy, positions in futures contracts will be interpreted not to be subject to this concentration restriction.

Legg Mason Partners Exchange Reserve Fund Smith Barney Money Funds—Government Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Money Market Portfolio Citi Institutional Enhanced Income Fund Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy on concentration will be revised as follows:

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in obligations issued by banks.

Discussion. The SEC has taken the position that money market funds may reserve the right to invest without limit in obligations of banks without being deemed to concentrate their investments. Certain Funds named above currently may invest without limit in bank obligations, and for these Funds, only minor wording changes will be made by virtue of the revised policy. Other Funds currently have not reserved the right to invest without limit in bank obligations. For these Funds, the revised policy will permit the Funds to take advantage of the flexibility to invest in bank obligations that the SEC has granted to money market funds.

55

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Money Market Portfolio currently has a fundamental policy that requires it to invest at least 25% of its assets in bank obligations at all times. The Fund’s existing policies are more restrictive than the SEC’s position requires, and there could be circumstances when investing in bank obligations may not be in the best interests of shareholders. The revised policy will permit the Fund to invest without limitation in bank obligations when the Fund’s manager believes it makes sense to do so.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-H: Remove the fundamental policy relating to diversification.

57

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy requiring diversification of investments will be eliminated. Despite this change, each Fund’s status as a diversified fund will continue to be changeable only with the approval of the Fund’s shareholders. Except as proposed in Proposal 6(b) of this Joint Proxy Statement, there are no current plans to seek shareholder approval to change any of these Funds to non-diversified funds.

Discussion. The 1940 Act requires every mutual fund to state whether it is diversified (meaning that it is subject to certain restrictions that limit the percentage of the fund’s assets that may be invested in a single issuer) or non-diversified, and requires any change from diversified to non-diversified status to be approved in advance by fund shareholders. In addition, funds (including the Funds) are subject to diversification tests under the Internal Revenue Code that limit investments in a single issuer or small number of issuers. The Funds currently comply with both the 1940 Act and the IRS requirements. However, the 1940 Act does not require that investment policies on diversification be fundamental policies.

The Funds’ existing policies on diversification generally recite the 1940 Act as it is in effect today. If the requirements for diversification were to change, the Funds might not be able to take advantage of that change without seeking shareholder approval. As noted above, if a Fund wishes to become non-diversified in the future, the Fund would need to obtain shareholder approval of that change. Until that approval is obtained, the Fund must continue to comply with the diversification requirements of the 1940 Act.

2. Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Inflation Management Fund Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy requiring the Fund to be non-diversified will be eliminated. Despite this proposal, there are no current plans for any of these Funds to stop being non-diversified.

Discussion. As noted above, the 1940 Act requires every mutual fund to state whether it is diversified or non-diversified. Non-diversified funds have the ability to invest more of their assets in the securities of fewer issuers, and thus may be considered to be more risky in this regard. Because of this possibility of greater risk, the 1940 Act requires any change from diversified to non-diversified status to be approved in advance by fund shareholders. On the other hand, the reverse, meaning a change from non-diversified to diversified status, does not require shareholder approval. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, a Fund would be able to diversify its investments more broadly without seeking shareholder approval. As noted above, there are no current plans to do so for these Funds. The Fund’s prospectus would be amended to disclose any such change.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-I: Remove the additional fundamental policy relating to diversification.

Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Opportunities Portfolio Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from holding more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer will be eliminated. For Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Opportunities Portfolio, this policy currently applies to 75% of the Fund’s total assets.

Discussion. These Funds currently have two fundamental policies on diversification. Like the fundamental policies discussed in Proposal 4-H, these policies generally recite portions of the existing 1940 Act requirements about diversification, except that the fundamental policy for Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund is more restrictive than the 1940 Act because it applies to all (rather than 75%, as does the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s assets. For more discussion of fundamental policies relating to diversification, please see Proposal 4-H. As noted in Proposal 4-H, the 1940 Act does not require that Funds have fundamental policies relating to diversification. The Funds believe that these additional fundamental policies relating to diversification are duplicative and unnecessary.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

58

Proposal 4-J: Convert the Fund’s investment objective from fundamental to non-fundamental.

Funds affected:all Fundsotherthan

Legg Mason Partners Classic Values Fund Legg Mason Partners International Fund Legg Mason Partners Growth and Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Growth and Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Government Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Variable Dividend Strategy Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Diversified Large Cap Growth Fund Legg Mason Partners Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund Legg Mason Partners International Large Cap Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund Legg Mason Partners Capital Preservation Fund II Legg Mason Partners Short Duration Municipal Income Fund Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers California Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers New York Tax Free Bond Fund Salomon Brothers Mid Cap Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Small Cap Growth Opportunities Portfolio Citi Premium Liquid Reserves Citi Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves Citi Institutional Cash Reserves Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves Citi Institutional Enhanced Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Emerging Markets Equity Fund Citi Cash Reserves Citi U.S. Treasury Reserves Citi Tax Free Reserves Citi California Tax Free Reserves Citi Connecticut Tax Free Reserves Citi New York Tax Free Reserves Salomon Brothers Balanced Fund Salomon Brothers High Yield Bond Fund Salomon Brothers Institutional Money Market Fund Salomon Brothers Short/Intermediate U.S. Government Fund Salomon Brothers Small Cap Growth Fund Salomon Brothers Strategic Bond Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s investment objective will become non-fundamental, meaning that it can be changed without shareholder approval if the Board believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders to do so. Except as noted below, there are no current plans to change the investment objective of any of these Funds.

Discussion. The 1940 Act does not require that a fund’s investment objective be fundamental, and, in fact, it is common for funds to have non-fundamental investment objectives. If a fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental, the objective may be changed by the fund’s board if the board believes it is in the best interests of shareholders to do so.

If a Fund is able to change its investment objective without shareholder approval, the Fund will have flexibility to respond to changing conditions in a manner that the Fund’s Board deems to be in the best interests of Fund shareholders without the expense and delay of seeking further shareholder approval.

If this proposal is approved by the shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Variable Multiple Discipline Portfolio—Balanced All Cap Growth and Value, it is expected that the Fund’s investment objective would be changed from “balanced between long-term growth of capital and principal preservation” to “total return—that is, a combination of income and long-term capital appreciation.” There are no current plans to change the investment objective of any other Fund. If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal and the Fund’s Board thereafter decides to change the Fund’s investment objective, shareholders will be given prior notice of the change.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

59

Proposal 4-K: Remove the fundamental policy relating to the purchase of illiquid securities.

Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds Balanced All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds Large Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds Global All Cap Growth and Value Legg Mason Partners Financial Services Fund Legg Mason Partners Health Services Fund Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc The Salomon Brothers Fund Inc Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy limiting the purchase or other acquisition of illiquid securities to 15% of the Fund’s net assets (this percentage is 10% for Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc and Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund) will be eliminated.

Discussion. The 1940 Act does not require that a fund have a fundamental policy relating to investments in illiquid securities. The current SEC staff position generally limits a fund’s purchases of illiquid securities to 15% of net assets. If the SEC staff position or other interpretations about purchases of illiquid securities were to change, the Funds might not be able to take advantage of that change without seeking shareholder approval. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Funds will still be subject to the position of the SEC’s staff with respect to the purchase of illiquid securities, as that position may change from time to time.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-L: Remove the fundamental policy relating to purchasing securities on margin.

Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Diversified Strategic Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Exchange Reserve Fund Legg Mason Partners High Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Municipal High Income Fund Legg Mason Partners Total Return Bond Fund Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Adjustable Rate Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Adjustable Rate Income Fund Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund Salomon Brothers Institutional Emerging Markets Debt Fund Salomon Brothers Institutional High Yield Bond Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities on margin will be eliminated.

Discussion. The 1940 Act does not require that a fund have a fundamental policy relating to purchasing securities on margin. Margin purchases involve borrowing money from a broker to purchase securities. The risks associated with purchasing securities on margin are generally similar to those of borrowing money. For a discussion of those risks, please see Proposal 4-A.

The Funds believe that this fundamental policy is unnecessary and may be unduly restrictive. The Funds’ ability to borrow is governed by the fundamental policy on borrowing discussed in Proposal 4-A. To the extent that purchasing securities on margin may be considered the issuance of a senior security, the issuance of senior securities is governed by the fundamental policy discussed in Proposal 4-D. The Funds believe that these other fundamental policies provide adequate protection on this topic. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Funds will be permitted to purchase securities on margin subject to the Funds’ other investment policies and applicable law.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

60

Proposal 4-M: Remove the fundamental policy relating to short sales.

Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Adjustable Rate Income Portfolio Legg Mason Partners Adjustable Rate Income Fund Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from making short sales of securities will be eliminated.

Discussion. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. Short sales expose a fund to the risk that the fund will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the fund. Under the 1940 Act, a fund is generally restricted from making short sales unless the sale is “against the box” and the securities sold are segregated, or the fund’s obligation to deliver the securities sold short is “covered” by segregating cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the market value of the securities sold short. A sale is not made “against the box” if a fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. Mutual funds are not required to have a fundamental policy about engaging in short sales.

Losses from short sales can theoretically be unlimited, although, as noted above, under the 1940 Act, a fund is required to “cover” its exposure under any short position. The Funds believe this fundamental policy is unduly restrictive. There may be circumstances in which a Fund’s manager believes that a short sale is in the best interests of shareholders. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Funds will be able to engage in short sales subject to the Funds’ other investment policies and applicable law.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-N: Remove the fundamental policy relating to both purchasing securities on margin and making short sales.

Funds affected:

Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund Legg Mason Partners Convertible Fund Legg Mason Partners Dividend and Income Fund Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities on margin and making short sales of securities will be eliminated.

Discussion. The Funds named above currently have a fundamental policy that prohibits both the purchase of securities on margin and the entry into short sales. For discussions of purchasing securities on margin and making short sales of securities, please see Proposals 4-L and 4-M, respectively. As noted in these Proposals, the Funds believe these restrictions are unnecessary and unduly restrictive. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Funds will be able to purchase securities on margin and engage in short sales subject to the Funds’ other investment policies and applicable law.

For Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc, the current fundamental policy also prohibits the Fund from participating in any joint or joint and several trading accounts. The 1940 Act already addresses a fund’s ability to participate in any joint trading accounts by prohibiting participation in these types of accounts if that participation would contravene any SEC rules on the topic. While there currently are no rules expressly addressing joint trading accounts, funds typically are viewed as needing exemptive relief from the SEC to use them. Because the 1940 Act already addresses this topic, the Fund believes that a fundamental policy is unnecessary.

If this fundamental policy is eliminated, Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc will be able to participate in joint trading accounts to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Fund’s other investment policies.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities of other investment companies will be eliminated.

Discussion. Each Fund named above has one of two general types of fundamental policies on this topic. Certain Funds are prohibited from investing more than a particular percentage of their net assets in other investment companies, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and/or except where such purchase is part of a plan of merger or reorganization. Other Funds have a fundamental policy that generally permits them to invest in another investment company in order to employ the master/feeder investment structure.

The 1940 Act addresses the extent to which mutual funds may invest in other funds, and generally limits these investments to relatively small percentages of fund assets unless a master/feeder or fund-of-funds structure is utilized. Because of the existing 1940 Act limitations, the Funds believe that their existing fundamental policies are unnecessary and may be unduly restrictive. If a Fund’s fundamental policy on this topic is eliminated, the Fund will be able to invest in other investment companies to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time, and the Funds’ other investment policies.

When a Fund invests in other funds, it bears not only its own expenses but also its proportionate share of the operating expenses of the other funds.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-P: Remove an additional fundamental policy relating to borrowing money.

Fund affected: Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Money Market Portfolio

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy limiting borrowings and pledging of assets to 10% of total assets, and requiring that the borrowings be made only to fund shareholder redemptions, will be eliminated. The Fund will remain subject to another fundamental policy on the topic of borrowing, as discussed in Proposal 4-A. Both the existing fundamental policy discussed in Proposal 4-A and the replacement fundamental policy proposed in Proposal 4-A are less restrictive than this current policy.

62

Discussion. This Fund currently has two fundamental policies concerning borrowing. The other fundamental policy is discussed in Proposal 4-A. This fundamental policy is a further limitation on the Fund’s ability to borrow money. If this fundamental policy is eliminated and Fund shareholders approve Proposal 4-A, the Fund will be permitted to borrow money to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and related interpretations, as in effect from time to time. If this fundamental policy is eliminated and Fund shareholders do not approve Proposal 4-A, the Fund will be permitted to borrow for temporary purposes up to one-third of its total assets.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-Q: Remove the fundamental policy relating to pledging assets.

Funds affected:Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy limiting the Fund’s ability to pledge its assets will be eliminated.

Discussion.The Fund currently may pledge not more than 20% of its assets, and pledges may be for the sole purpose of supporting limited-purpose borrowings. The Fund believes this fundamental policy is unduly restrictive and may prevent the Fund’s manager from acting in a manner the manager believes to be in the best interests of shareholders. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Fund will be able to pledge its assets without limitation, subject to the Fund’s other investment policies.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-R: Convert the fundamental policy relating to investment in convertible securities to non-fundamental.

Fund affected: Legg Mason Partners Convertible Fund

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy requiring investment of at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in convertible securities will become non-fundamental, meaning that it may be changed without shareholder approval.

Discussion. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in convertible securities. However, the 1940 Act does not require that a fund have a fundamental policy on this topic.

Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act requires a fund with a name that suggests a particular investment emphasis to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in the type of investment suggested by the fund’s name. This 80% investment requirement need not be a fundamental policy if the fund agrees to provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change in the investment requirement.

The Fund believes that making the 80% investment requirement non-fundamental will provide the Fund with greater flexibility to respond to changing conditions in a manner that its Board deems to be in the best interests of shareholders without incurring the delay and expense of seeking shareholder approval. If this proposal is approved, the Fund will give shareholders at least 60 days’ notice prior to any change in the 80% investment policy.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

63

Proposal 4-S: Remove the fundamental policy relating to investment in “synthetic convertible securities.”

Fund affected: Legg Mason Partners Convertible Fund

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy permitting investment of up to 20% of its total assets in “synthetic convertible securities” will be eliminated.

Discussion.Under normal circumstances this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in convertible securities, as discussed in Proposal 4-R. Synthetic securities are securities that provide the same type of exposure to an asset class or type of investment as non-synthetic securities, but they may use derivatives to do so. The Fund believes that the fundamental policy limiting the use of synthetic convertible securities is unduly restrictive and may prevent the Fund’s manager from acting in a manner the manager believes to be in the best interests of shareholders. If this fundamental policy is eliminated, the Fund will be able to satisfy its policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in convertible securities using both synthetic and non-synthetic convertible securities.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

Proposal 4-T: Convert the fundamental policy relating to investment in companies deriving revenue from the manufacture of alcohol or tobacco to non-fundamental.

Fund affected: Legg Mason Partners Growth and Income Fund

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities of any company deriving more than 25% of its gross revenues from the manufacture of alcohol or tobacco will become non-fundamental, meaning that it may be changed without shareholder approval.

Discussion. This fundamental policy is not required by the 1940 Act. While the Fund has no current plan to invest in companies deriving more than 25% of revenues from alcohol or tobacco, these plans could change in the future. Shareholders will be given notice of any such change.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” this proposal.

The following proposals address fundamental policies that affect very few Funds and that the applicable Funds believe are out-dated and unduly restrictive. All of the proposals are discussed together for convenience.

Proposal 4-U-1: Remove the fundamental policy relating to investment made in oil, gas or other mineral exploration development programs or mineral leases.

Funds affected:

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from investing in oil, gas or other mineral exploration development programs or mineral leases will be eliminated.

Proposal 4-U-2: Remove the fundamental policy relating to investment made for the purpose of exercising control or management.

Funds affected:

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc The Salomon Brothers Fund Inc Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from investing in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management will be eliminated.

64

Proposal 4-U-3: Remove the fundamental policy relating to warrants.

Funds affected:

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc Salomon Brothers New York Municipal Money Market Fund

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from investing in warrants will be eliminated.

Proposal 4-U-4: Remove the fundamental policy relating to equity securities and bonds.

Fund affected: Legg Mason Partners Exchange Reserve Fund

If shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from investing in common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, other equity securities, corporate bonds or debentures, state bonds, municipal bonds or industrial revenue bonds will be eliminated.

Proposal 4-U-5: Remove the fundamental policy relating to related party investments.

Funds affected:

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities from or selling securities to any of its officers, directors, employees, investment manager or distributor, as principals, and purchasing or retaining securities of an affiliated issuer will both be eliminated.

Proposal 4-U-6: Remove the fundamental policy relating to investment in unseasoned issuers.

Funds affected:

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc

If shareholders of a Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy limiting the investment of the Fund in unseasoned issuers will be eliminated.

Discussion for Proposals 4-U-1 through 4-U-6. These fundamental policies are believed initially to have been adopted in response to requirements imposed under certain states’ securities laws and/or other restrictions which no longer apply to the Funds, and are not required by the 1940 Act. The elimination of these policies will simplify the Funds’ compliance requirements and will provide the Funds’ managers greater flexibility to invest the Funds’ assets as they deem appropriate, consistent with applicable law and the Funds’ investment objectives and other investment policies.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposals 4-U-1 through 4-U-6, as applicable.

65

PROPOSAL 5—TO APPROVE PROPOSED FUND LIQUIDATIONS

This Proposal 5 is to be voted on by shareholders of the following Funds (for purposes of this Proposal 5, each, a “Fund”):

Legg Mason Partners Real Return Strategy Fund

Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund

Background

The Board of Legg Mason Partners Real Return Strategy Fund and of Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund is recommending that shareholders of each Fund vote to liquidate the Fund according to the terms of the Plan of Liquidation attached hereto asAppendix Q (the “Plan of Liquidation”).

General

At a meeting held on June 29, 2006, each Fund’s Board discussed with the Fund’s Manager the advantages and disadvantages of the proposal to liquidate each Fund. The Board determined that the liquidation of each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders and unanimously approved for each Fund the Plan of Liquidation.

In determining to recommend approval of the liquidation of each Fund, the Fund’s Board considered the following factors, among others:

(a) that the Fund has remained below scale for some time;

(b) that, at its current asset size, the Fund is no longer viable;

(c) that, at its current asset level, the Fund has limited prospects for growth in light of the size of its expense ratio without continuation of voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements; and

(d) that the Fund’s Manager has decided that it does not intend to continue to support the Fund.

Until shareholders have had an opportunity to approve the Plan of Liquidation, each Fund’s Board has voted to close the Fund to new purchases and exchange purchases, except for dividend reinvestments and conversions of Class B shares to Class A shares.

Summary of the Plan of Liquidation

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the Plan of Liquidation. A copy of the form of the Plan of Liquidation is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement asAppendix Q, and you should refer toAppendix Q for the complete terms of the Plan of Liquidation.

Effective Date of the Plan of Liquidation and Cessation of a Fund’s Investment Activities

With respect to each Fund, if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by the Fund’s shareholders, the Plan of Liquidation will become effective on a date to be determined by the Fund’s Board or by any officer of the Fund. As of the effective date of the Plan of Liquidation, the Fund: will cease to invest its assets in accordance with its investment objective and, as soon as reasonable and practicable, will complete the sale of the portfolio securities it holds in order to convert its assets to cash or cash equivalents. However, the Fund may invest the proceeds of the sale of portfolio securities in investment grade short-term debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars. From the effective date of the Plan of Liquidation, the Fund will not engage in any business activities except for the purpose of discharging any existing its debts and obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and taking steps to liquidate and wind up its business.

Closing of Books and Restriction on Transfer of Shares

The proportionate interests of shareholders in the assets of a Fund will be fixed on the basis of their holdings on the effective date of the Fund’s Plan of Liquidation. On that date, the books of the Fund will be closed and will not be reopened unless the Plan of Liquidation cannot be implemented.

66

Liquidation Distribution Amounts

As soon as practicable after the effective date of a Fund, the Fund will liquidate and distribute to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the effective date, pro rata in accordance with their proportionate interests in the Fund, all of the assets of the Fund remaining after payment and discharge of (or set aside for the payment of) liabilities and obligations of the Fund (the “Liquidation Distribution”). The Fund may pay the Liquidation Distribution in more than one installment if appropriate to ensure the orderly disposition of portfolio securities. Although no assurance can be given, the Fund anticipates that payment of the Liquidation Distribution will be made within sixty days of the effective date. Following payment of the Liquidation Distribution, all outstanding shares of the Fund (which would have no economic value) will be redeemed, and this Joint Proxy Statement constitutes notice of such redemption.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan of Liquidation

The following discussion is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the liquidation of each Fund to the Fund and its shareholders, based on current U.S. federal income tax law, including the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury regulations and IRS rulings. Different rules may apply to particular shareholders depending upon their individual circumstances. Special rules may also apply to particular types of Fund shareholders including, without limitation, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, brokers and dealers, individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States, entities organized under laws other than those of the United States or its political subdivisions, persons holding Fund shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction, persons that do not hold their Fund shares as a capital asset at the time of the liquidation of the Fund, or entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of receipt of the Liquidation Distribution(s), including potential tax consequences in jurisdictions where the shareholder is a citizen, resident or domiciliary.

Each Fund currently qualifies, and expects to continue to qualify during the liquidation period, as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and does not expect to become a “personal holding company” within the meaning of Section 542 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Fund should be eligible for a dividends-paid deduction with respect to Liquidation Distributions made after the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, and should not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any of its income or capital gains realized from the sale of its assets pursuant to the liquidation of the Fund. If the Fund did not qualify for a dividends-paid deduction with respect to the Liquidation Distributions, the Fund would incur a corporate federal income tax liability that would reduce the amount available for distribution to shareholders.

Subject to the discussion below, a Liquidation Distribution will generally be treated as payment in exchange for the shareholder’s Fund shares. The shareholder will recognize a capital gain or loss, which will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the Fund shares have been held for more than one year, and otherwise will be a short-term capital gain or loss.

It is possible that a Fund may be required to designate some portion of the Liquidation Distributions payable to shareholders as ordinary income dividends or capital gain distributions in order to maintain the Fund’s status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. In that event, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Liquidation Distribution(s) received by a shareholder could consist of three elements: (a) a capital gain dividend to the extent of any net capital gain recognized by the Fund during its final tax year; (b) an ordinary income dividend to the extent of the Fund’s ordinary income and net short-term capital gain recognized during the final tax year, net of prior distributions; and (c) a payment in exchange for the shareholder’s shares, taxable as described above. The Fund will notify shareholders as to the portion, if any, of the Liquidation Distribution(s) that constitutes a capital gain dividend and that which constitutes an ordinary income dividend in the normal tax-reporting fashion for dividends and distributions paid by the Fund.

Under the U.S. backup withholding rules, each Fund will be required to withhold 28% of the Liquidation Distribution(s) paid to any U.S. shareholder that is not a tax-exempt person unless either: (a) such shareholder has completed and submitted to the Depositary an IRS Form W-9, providing such shareholder’s employer identification number or social security number, as applicable, and certifying under penalties of perjury that: (i) such number is correct; (ii) either (A) such shareholder is exempt from backup withholding, (B) such shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such shareholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of an under-reporting of interest or dividends, or (C) the Internal Revenue Service has notified such shareholder that such shareholder is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (b) an exception applies under applicable law. Non-U.S. shareholders may also be subject to U.S. backup withholding and should

67

provide to the Fund an IRS Form W-8BEN or another type of Form W-8 appropriate to the particular non-U.S. shareholder. Form W-9 and the various Forms W-8 can be found on the IRS website at www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against a taxpayer’s federal income tax liability so long as the shareholder timely files the appropriate tax return or refund claim.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights under Maryland law in connection with the Plan of Liquidation.

Impact of the Plan of Liquidation on the Fund’s Status Under the 1940 Act

As soon as practicable after shareholder approval of the liquidation of a Fund, the Fund will file any documents as may be necessary to effect the liquidation of the Fund, in accordance with the requirements of its governing documents, Maryland law, the Internal Revenue Code, any applicable securities laws, and any rules and regulations of the SEC or any state securities commission.

Until the Fund’s withdrawal becomes effective, the Fund will continue to be subject to and will comply with the 1940 Act.

Shareholder Approval

The liquidation of each Fund must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each class of shares of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” of each class of shares of the Fund is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of each class of shares of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of each class are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of each class of shares of the Fund.

The liquidation of each of Legg Mason Partners Real Return Strategy Fund and Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund was approved by each Fund’s Board after consideration of all factors that it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the liquidation of the Fund for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.

In the event that the shareholders of a Fund fail to approve the liquidation of the Fund, there will be no Liquidation Distribution and redemption of all outstanding shares of the Fund, and the Fund will continue to operate in accordance with its stated investment objective and policies. It is expected that the Fund’s Board would then meet to consider what, if any, steps to take, including the possibility of resubmitting the same or another plan of liquidation to shareholders for future consideration.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the liquidation of the Fund.

PROPOSAL 6(a)—TO APPROVE A NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

This Proposal 6(a) is to be voted on by shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value (for the purposes of this Proposal 6(a), the “Fund”).

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a new management agreement between the Fund and Legg Mason Capital Management Inc. (“LMCM”) (the “New Management Agreement”), which shall become effective only if the shareholders also approve classification of the Fund as a non-diversified investment company, as described in Proposal 6(b) below. A general description of the proposed New Management Agreement and a general comparison of the proposed New Management Agreement and the investment management agreement currently in effect for the Fund (the “Current Management Agreement”) are included below. The terms of the New Management Agreement are similar to those of the Current Management Agreement, except that the dates of effectiveness and termination differ and except that the advisory fee payable under the New Management Agreement is less than the fee under the Current Management Agreement, as described in more detail below.

68

Under the Current Management Agreement, LMPFA provides investment advisory services to the Fund, and is responsible for the Fund’s overall investment strategy and its implementation.

The Current Management Agreement was approved at a June 2006 in-person meeting by the Board of the Fund. Shareholder approval of the Current Management Agreement was not required under the 1940 Act because there was no change in the actual control or management of the Fund. The date of the Fund’s Current Management Agreement and the date on which it was approved by the Board are provided inAppendix V.

Under the New Management Agreement, LMCM would provide advisory services to the Fund and would be responsible for the Fund’s overall investment strategy and its implementation. LMPFA would enter into an agreement with LMCM to provide sub-administrative services for the Fund. The appointment of LMCM would not result in any material changes in the nature or the level of investment advisory and administrative services provided to the Fund but, as described in more detail below, advisory fees under the New Management Agreement would be less than fees payable under the Current Management Agreement.

The effectiveness of the New Management Agreement is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Fund of classification of the Fund as a non-diversified investment company, as described in Proposal 6(b) below.

The Board has approved the New Management Agreement to take advantage of LMCM’s unique All Cap investment strategy and process that has been developed and guided by Mr. Bill Miller, LMCM’s Chief Investment Officer, and which would be implemented by Jay Leopold serving as portfolio manager. While the Fund currently attempts to allocate its portfolio investments evenly between securities in the All Cap Growth and All Cap Value market segments, LMCM would invest primarily in equity securities of companies that it believes offer the potential for capital growth, and would not be subject to any particular allocation among market segments. LMCM’s All Cap strategy does not have specific market capitalization parameters and allows the portfolio manager the greatest flexibility to identify investment opportunities that are expected to help the Fund achieve its investment objectives.

Comparison of Current Management Agreement to the New Management Agreement

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the New Management Agreement and a general comparison with the terms of the Current Management Agreement. A copy of the form of New Management Agreement is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement asAppendix R, and you should refer toAppendix R for the complete terms of the New Management Agreement.

Fees. Under the Current Management Agreement, the Fund pays LMPFA a management fee at the annual rate of     % of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Fees are accrued daily and paid by the Fund monthly.

Management fees paid to Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (the Fund’s then-current manager) by the Fund for the period from May 1, 2005 to April 30, 2006 were $2,877,216. Fees that would have been payable to LMCM for services provided pursuant to the New Management Agreement for the Fund for the same period, had the New Management Agreement been effect for the same period, would have been $2,685,402, a decrease of 0.07%.

Investment Management Services.The New Management Agreement provides, as does the Current Management Agreement, that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board, the Manager would regularly provide the Fund with investment research, advice, management and supervision, would furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, would determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and would implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Manager.

Under the Fund’s New Management Agreement, the Fund’s Manager is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Manager’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the New Management Agreement and described below, brokers or dealers may be selected by the Manager who also provide

69

brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The Manager is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed either in terms of that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Manager and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Current Management Agreement contains similar provisions.

The New Management Agreement further provides that the Manager would provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund, and would exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to the Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and would perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board. The Current Management Agreement has similar provisions.

Fund Administration Services.The Current Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement provide that the Manager will also perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Fund as necessary for the operation of the Fund, subject to the direction and control of the Board. Such administrative services include (a) supervising the overall administration of the Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and billings of, the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodians and other independent contractors or agents, (b) providing certain compliance, fund accounting, regulatory reporting, and tax reporting services, (c) preparing or participating in the preparation of Board materials, registration statements, proxy statements and reports and other communications to shareholders, (d) maintaining the Fund’s existence, and (e) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state laws. The Manager is also required to supply the Fund’s Board and officers with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Manager. The Manager further oversees the maintenance and preservation of all books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and the keeping of the Fund’s books of account in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, the New Management Agreement requires the Manager to furnish the Fund, at its own expense, with office facilities, including space, furniture and equipment and all personnel reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. The New Management Agreement also requires the Manager to permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as Board Members or officers of the Fund, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.

LMCM will enter into an agreement pursuant to which LMPFA will provide administrative services to the Fund. LMCM has provided assurances to the Board that LMCM and LMPFA will provide at least the same level of services under the New Management Agreement and sub-administration agreement as are currently provided under the Current Management Agreement.

Payment of Expenses.The New Management Agreement requires the Manager to bear all expenses, and to furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel, in connection with its responsibilities to provide the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services under the New Management Agreement. Except for these expenses, the Manager is not responsible for the Fund’s expenses. The Current Management Agreement also requires that the Manager bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the agreement.

Conflicts of Interest.The New Management Agreement contains several provisions that address potential conflicts of interest that may arise in a typical investment advisory relationship. In addition to those provisions discussed above, the New Management Agreement provides that the Manager may not deal with itself, or with members of the Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents, in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the Fund, nor may the Manager purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Manager or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between the Fund and another account advised by the Manager or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted under the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by the Fund from time to time. The New Management Agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Manager, even if serving the Fund as a Board Member, officer or employee, may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Manager may engage in any other business or render

70

services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. However, the New Management Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of the Fund or one or more other accounts of the Manager are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Manager. In addition, if transactions of the Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Manager’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

The Current Management Agreement addresses these same potential conflicts in a similar manner.

Limitation on Liability.Under the Current Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement, the Manager assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the agreement in good faith, and the Manager is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the Fund. The Manager is not protected, however, from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the New Management Agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Manager who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Management Agreement.

Term and Continuance.The Current Management Agreement was in effect for an initial term and was eligible to be continued thereafter for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If approved by shareholders of the Fund, the New Management Agreement would terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, at the end of a two-year initial term. Thereafter, if not terminated, the New Management Agreement would continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the Board, or (b) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of a party to the New Management Agreement.

Termination.The New Management Agreement provides that the Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund upon not more than sixty days’ and not less than thirty days’ written notice to the Manager or by the Manager upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. The Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. The New Management Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Current Management Agreement contains similar termination provisions.

Board Considerations

At a meeting held during June 2006 the Board, including the independent Board Members, approved the New Management Agreement between the Fund and LMCM. The date of the Board’s meeting is noted inAppendix V.

To assist the Board in its consideration of the New Management Agreement, Legg Mason and LMCM provided materials and information about LMCM, including its asset management capabilities and organization. LMCM is a leading equity management firm that had, as of March 2006, over $64.0 billion under management. The Board also was provided information about LMPFA and its fund administration capabilities in advance of and at the June 2006 Board meeting. In addition, the independent Board Members consulted with their independent legal counsel, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

At the meeting, members of the Board discussed with a representative of LMCM and with Legg Mason LMCM’s unique All Cap investment strategy and process, its past performance, its investment management experience, business organization, personnel, operations, history and philosophy and the compatibility of LMCM’s investment management style with the Fund’s investment policies and objectives. The Board Members noted that a colleague of Mr. Miller would serve as the Fund’s portfolio manager. The Board considered whether the terms of the New Management Agreement, which are summarized above, were in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Legg Mason and LMCM discussed the timing of the transition to LMCM and how the transition could be accomplished with minimal disruption or expense. The independent Board Members of the Board also conferred separately and with their independent legal counsel about the proposed replacement of the Fund’s Manager on a number of occasions, including in connection with the June meeting.

71

At the meeting, representatives of Legg Mason and LMCM made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the independent Board Members met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the New Management Agreements.

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(a) the reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries, including LMCM and LMPFA;

(b) that LMCM is an experienced and respected asset management firm; that the Board has been provided information demonstrating that LMCM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services to the Fund; and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment;

(c) that Legg Mason has advised the Board that there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by the Manager, including compliance services;

(d) that LMCM has advised the Board that it will provide expense waivers and reimbursements on terms identical to those currently offered by Legg Mason to the Fund, and, while it reserves the right to alter the waivers and reimbursements in the future, it would consult with the Board before making any changes;

(e) the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being advised by LMCM;

(f) the division of responsibilities between LMCM and LMPFA, as sub-administrator, and the services to be provided by each of them;

(g) the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreement, which contains no material differences from the Current Management Agreement other than the identity of the manager and differences in dates of effectiveness and termination and a decrease in management fees;

(h) that the advisory fees paid by the Fund represent reasonable compensation to LMCM in light of the services provided and the fees paid by similar funds and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment; and

(i) that the Fund would bear a portion of the cost of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreement.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

The Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Management Agreement are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund, and that the New Management Agreement should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided

In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by LMCM under the New Management Agreement, the Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of replacement of LMPFA on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel to be made available to the Fund, and the ability of LMCM to perform its duties under the New Management Agreement, taking into account the delegation of certain duties to LMPFA, as sub-administrator. The Board reviewed and discussed information regarding LMCM’s distinct value investment process and long history of outperforming clients’ benchmarks. In particular, the Board noted favorable performance compared with benchmark indices. The Board Members recognized, however, that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from Legg Mason and LMCM, the Board Members determined that replacement of the Fund’s existing manager was not expected to adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided to the Fund.

72

Costs of Services Provided

The Board Members considered, among other things, that management fees would decrease as a result of the New Management Agreement. The Board Members recognized that the management fees to be paid to LMCM pursuant to terms of the New Management Agreement are similar to those received by LMCM from other investment companies for similar services. The Board Members noted that fees payable under the sub-administration agreement with LMPFA would be paid by LMCM and not by the Fund.

The Board Members noted that they expect to receive cost, expense and profitability information prior to the end of the initial term of the New Management Agreement and, thus, be in a position to evaluate at that time whether any adjustments in Fund fees would be appropriate in connection with a renewal of the agreement.

Fall-Out Benefits

In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by LMCM under the New Management Agreement, the Board Members considered whether the replacement of LMPFA by LMCM as Manager to the Fund would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by the Fund’s Manager. Based on their review of the materials provided, and their discussions with Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that those benefits could include the use of portfolio brokerage transactions to pay for research services generated by parties other than the executing broker-dealer. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would continue to evaluate them going forward.

Fees and Economies of Scale

In considering the New Management Agreement, the Board Members considered, among other things, that management fees would decrease. The Board Members determined that the total fees for management (including administrative) services for the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided. It was noted that the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper comparing the Fund’s fees, expenses and performance with those of a peer group for the Fund selected by Lipper, and information as to the fees charged by each to other registered investment company clients for investment management services. The Board Members concluded that the Fund’s fees for management (including administrative) services are appropriate.

Investment Performance

As noted above, the Board noted LMCM’s considerable investment management experience, past performance and capabilities, but the Board Members were unable to predict what effect, if any, execution of the New Management Agreements would have on the future performance of the Fund.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to the Fund, the New Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The New Management Agreement was approved by the independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of the Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Management Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the New Management Agreement, contingent upon shareholder approval of classification of the Fund as a non-diversified investment company as discussed in Proposal 6(b) of this Joint Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 6(b)—TO APPROVE CHANGE OF CLASSIFICATION FROM DIVERSIFIED TO NON-DIVERSIFIED

This Proposal 6(b) is to be voted on by shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Multiple Discipline Funds All Cap Growth and Value (for the purposes of this Proposal 6(b), the “Fund”).

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a proposal that will change the Fund’s classification under the 1940 Act from “diversified” to “non-diversified.” This change would become effective only if the Fund’s shareholders also approve the New Management Agreement, described in Proposal 6(a) above.

The Fund is currently classified as a diversified fund under the 1940 Act. This means that the Fund may not purchase securities of an issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, (a) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or (b) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, the Fund can invest more than 5% of its assets in one issuer.

A non-diversified fund is not subject to the limitations described above. Therefore, a non-diversified fund can invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer or a limited number of issuers than may a diversified fund. In this regard, the Fund may be subject to greater risk than a diversified fund.

74

The Board recommends reclassifying the Fund as non-diversified under the 1940 Act in order to facilitate the Fund’s pursuit of its investment objective through the investment strategy that would be employed by LMCM under the proposed New Management Agreement.

If the proposal is approved, the Fund will still be subject to the diversification rules of the Internal Revenue Code. The 1940 Act diversification classification is separate and apart from the diversification requirements that the Fund must comply with in order to qualify for special tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain favorable tax treatment, the Fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 50% of its total assets, more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer would be held by the Fund. These limits apply only as of the end of each quarter of the Fund’s fiscal year.

Under the 1940 Act, the Fund cannot change its classification from diversified to non-diversified without shareholder approval. Therefore, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve the proposed change in classification. The Fund will continue to be classified as a diversified fund and be managed in a diversified manner in the event that (a) this Proposal is not approved by the shareholders of the Fund, or (b) if the shareholders of the Fund approve this Proposal, but the shareholders do not approve the New Management Agreement, as described in Proposal 6(a) above. If the Fund does become classified as a non-diversified fund, the Fund’s Board could later determine to reclassify the Fund as a diversified fund without shareholder approval.

Shareholder Approval

To change the classification of the Fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund, this Proposal must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The reclassification of the Fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund was approved by the independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the change of classification of the Fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund, contingent upon shareholder approval of the New Management Agreement as discussed in Proposal 6(a) of this Joint Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 7—TO APPROVE A NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Proposal 7 is to be voted on by shareholders of the following Funds (for the purposes of this Proposal 7, each, a “Fund”):

Fund	New Sub-Adviser
Legg Mason Partners Social Awareness Fund	Legg Mason Investment Counsel, LLC
Legg Mason Partners Financial Services Fund	Barrett Associates, Inc.
Legg Mason Partners International All Cap Growth Fund	Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC
Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable International All Cap Growth Portfolio	Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC
Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios III, Inc.—Legg Mason Partners Variable Social Awareness Stock Portfolio	Legg Mason Investment Counsel, LLC

At the Meeting, you will also be asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement (each, a “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between LMPFA, your Fund’s Manager, and your Fund’s new sub-adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). A general description of the proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreements is included below. The terms of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement are similar to those of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement it replaces, except that the dates of effectiveness and termination differ. The form of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is included inAppendix U.

75

CAM North America, LLC is a party to an investment sub-advisory agreement with respect to each Fund other than Legg Mason Partners Financial Services Fund, as to which Batterymarch Financial Management Inc. is a party to an investment sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Current Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The date of each Fund’s Current Sub-Advisory Agreement and the date on which it was approved by the Board are provided inAppendix V.

Under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the sub-adviser provides investment research, advice, management and supervision, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and of LMPFA, the Manager of each Fund.

The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds were approved at June and/or July 2006 in-person meetings by the Boards of the Funds. Shareholder approval of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements was not required under the 1940 Act because there was no change in the actual control or management of any Fund.

Under each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the New Sub-Adviser will provide investment research, advice, management and supervision, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and of the Fund’s Manager. The appointment of each new Sub-Adviser will not result in any material changes in the nature or the level of investment advisory services provided to any Fund.

The Boards have approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreements in order to take advantage of the special expertise of investment advisers within the Legg Mason family of investment advisers. Each Sub-Adviser has a strong track record managing mandates in the style of the Fund it will advise.

General Description of Sub-Advisory Agreement

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and a general comparison with the terms of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. A copy of the form of New Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement asAppendix U, and you should refer toAppendix U for the complete terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Investment Management Services. Each of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and of LMPFA, the Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser will regularly provide the Fund, with respect to that portion of a Fund’s assets allocated to the Sub-Adviser by LMPFA, with investment research, advice, management and supervision, will furnish a continuous investment program for the allocated assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and will implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Sub-Adviser.

Under each Fund’s New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations with respect to the allocated assets either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Sub-Adviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the Agreement and described below, the Sub-Adviser may select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. Each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement contains similar provisions.

Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement further provides that the Sub-Adviser will exercise proxy voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to its allocated portion of a Fund’s assets in accordance with the

76

Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures, subject to such direction as a Fund’s Board may provide and will perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements have similar provisions.

Fees. Under both the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Manager pays the sub-adviser a fee out of the investment management fee the Manager receives from the Fund. The sub-advisory fees payable by the Manager to the Sub-Advisers are identical to the sub-advisory fees paid under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. Fees paid to the current sub-advisers during each Fund’s most recent fiscal year are included inAppendix W.

Payment of Expenses. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement requires the Sub-Adviser to furnish the Fund, at its own expense, all necessary services, facilities and personnel in connection with its responsibilities under the Agreement. Except for these expenses, the Sub-Adviser is not responsible for a Fund’s expenses. Each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement also requires that the Manager bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the Agreement.

Conflicts of Interest. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Sub-Adviser may not deal with itself, or with members of a Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents, in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the Fund, nor may it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time. The agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Sub-Adviser, even if serving the Fund as a Board Member, officer, or employee, may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Sub-Adviser may engage in any other business or render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. However, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Sub-Adviser are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Sub-Adviser. In addition, if transactions of a Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements address these same potential conflicts in a similar manner.

Both the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements permit the Sub-Adviser to delegate to an affiliate or employees of an affiliate certain of its duties under the agreement, as long as the Sub-Adviser supervises the affiliate or the employees. Any such arrangement must be entered into in accordance with the 1940 Act and does not relieve the Sub-Adviser of any of its obligations under the agreement.

Limitation on Liability. Under each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement and each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the agreement in good faith, and the Sub-Adviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. A Sub-Adviser is not protected, however, from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Sub-Adviser who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Term and Continuance. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreement of each Fund was in effect for an initial term and was eligible to be continued thereafter for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, after an initial two-year term. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the Board or (b) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

77

Termination. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund provides that the agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund upon not more than sixty days’ and not less than thirty days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser or by the Sub-Adviser upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. A Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements contain similar termination provisions.

Board Considerations

At meetings held during June and/or July 2006, the Board of each Fund, including the independent Board Members, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund between LMPFA and the Fund’s new Sub-Adviser.

The date of each Board’s meeting is noted inAppendix V.

To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Boards received in advance of their meetings certain materials and information. In addition, the independent Board Members consulted with their independent legal counsel, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

At each Board’s June meeting, representatives of Legg Mason, LMPFA and the applicable Sub-Adviser made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. The Board noted that there exist, in the Legg Mason family of investment advisers, advisers, including the Sub-Advisers, that have not previously provided services to the Funds and that have investment expertise and strong track records managing products having investment styles similar to those of the Funds. It is anticipated that the appointment of each Sub-Adviser will benefit shareholders of the Funds by offering them the potential for superior performance over the long-term. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the independent Board Members met in executive session with their independent counsel to consider the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Among other things, the Board Members of each Fund considered:

(a) that Legg Mason and LMPFA have advised the Boards that there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders, including compliance services;

(b) that each Sub-Adviser is an experienced and respected asset management firm; that each Board had been provided information demonstrating that each Sub-Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services to the applicable Fund; and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment;

(c) the proposed responsibilities of each Sub-Adviser and the services to be provided by it;

(d) the fact that the fees paid to each Sub-Adviser will be paid by LMPFA and not the Funds, and, consequently, advisory fees paid by the Fund will not increase; and that the advisory fees paid by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser represent reasonable compensation to the Sub-Adviser in light of the services provided, and the fees paid by similar funds;

(e) the terms and conditions of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements; and

(f) that each Fund would bear a portion of the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members of each applicable Fund, including a majority of the independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the applicable New Sub-Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund, and, in each case, that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.

78

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided

In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser under its New Sub-Advisory Agreement or Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by Legg Mason and LMPFA as to the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Sub-Adviser, the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its duties under its New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds. [The Boards considered the past performance of separate accounts managed by each Sub-Adviser having substantially the same objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds and compared such performance with that of a peer group of funds based on information provided by Lipper.]

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from Legg Mason and LMPFA, the Board Members of each Fund determined that the new sub-advisory relationship and arrangements were not expected to adversely affect the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund.

Fees and Costs of Services Provided

The Boards considered the sub-advisory fee rate under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements as well as the overall management fee structure of the Funds. In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisers under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board Members noted that the Funds do not pay the sub-advisory fee.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Board Members also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by each Sub-Adviser, including the use of portfolio brokerage transactions to pay for research services generated by parties other than the executing broker-dealer, and the potential for increased visibility in the marketplace as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s relationship with its Fund.

Investment Performance

The Boards noted each Sub-Adviser’s considerable investment management experience, capabilities and resources, [as well as the past performance of other accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser having similar investment objectives and strategy,] but were unable to predict what effect, if any, execution of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements would have on the future performance of the Funds.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by the independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Sub-Advisory Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

The Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, of each Fund have selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. KPMG, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each applicable Audit Committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Funds.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of certain Funds⁴ for fiscal years prior to 2005. Each affected Fund’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, as well as for the current fiscal year. A majority of the Fund’s Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, approved the appointment of KPMG, subject to the right of the Fund, by a majority vote of the shareholders at any meeting called for that purpose, to terminate the appointment without penalty.

⁴ PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of various Funds identified inAppendix A.

80

The reports of PwC on each Fund’s financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years audited by PwC contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There have been no disagreements with PwC during such fiscal years and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

No representatives of KPMG or PwC will be present at the Meetings.

Appendix X sets forth for each Fund, for each of the applicable Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information inAppendix X is presented under the following captions:

(a) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(b) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis reviews.

(d) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

The charter of each Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to each Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the investment adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

No Audit Committee may approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firms. Permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below provided to the Fund by the independent registered public accounting firms, other than those provided to a Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include (a) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial services; (e) internal audit outsourcing services; (f) management functions or human resources; (g) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (h) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (i) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (a) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to a Fund, its Manager and any Covered Service Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent registered public accounting firms during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (i) the Fund, (ii) the Manager and (iii) any Covered Service Provider during the fiscal year in which services are provided that would not have to be approved by the Committee; (b) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (c) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to completion of the audit.

For each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no services rendered by KPMG or PwC to the Funds for which the pre-approval requirement was waived.

81

Non-audit fees billed for services rendered to the Funds and the Advisers or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any of the Advisers that provides ongoing services to the Funds were $[6.4 million] and $[2.7 million], respectively, in 2004 and 2005 for PwC and $75,000 and $0, respectively, in 2004 and 2005 for KPMG. For the period from May 6, 2003 through December 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, PwC billed the Adviser or any Covered Service Provider $1.39 million and $0, respectively, for non-audit services. For the period from May 6, 2003 through December 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, KPMG did not bill the Adviser or any Covered Service Provider for non-audit services.

Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by KPMG or PwC to the applicable Manager and Covered Service Providers that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by KPMG or PwC to each Fund, its Manager or Covered Service Providers that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

5% Share Ownership

As of August 21, 2006, the persons listed inAppendix Yowned of record the amounts indicated of the shares of the class of Funds indicated inAppendix Y.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

The Funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future special meeting of shareholders of a Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004, at a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Except as described below, the Bylaws of each Maryland Corporation generally provide that, in order for a shareholder to present a business proposal or nominate a director at a meeting of shareholders, the shareholder must submit the proposal or nomination to the Corporation at least sixty days before the meeting. The Bylaws of Legg Mason Sector Series, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Variable Portfolios I, Inc., Salomon Brothers Series Funds Inc and Salomon Brothers Institutional Series Funds Inc provide that, in the case of a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, the notice from the shareholder must be provided to the Corporation not later than ten days after the meeting notice was mailed or meeting was publicly announced. Because the Bylaws of Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc and Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc do not include advance notice provisions, a shareholder business proposal or director nominee must be submitted to the applicable Corporation a reasonable time before the Corporation begins to print and mail its proxy materials.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of Robert I. Frenkel, Secretary, 125 Broad Street, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10004. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates, it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member, it will be sent to the chair of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Additionally, shareholders with complaints or concerns regarding accounting matters may address letters to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), 125 Broad Street, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10004. Shareholders who are uncomfortable submitting complaints to the CCO may address letters directly to the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board that oversees the Fund. Such letters may be submitted on an anonymous basis.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and this Joint Proxy Statement and costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be shared by Legg Mason and the Funds. It is expected that approximately 75% of such costs and expenses will be borne by Legg Mason, with the remainder being allocated among the

82

Funds on the basis of their respective net assets, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more particular Funds. Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of the Manager, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Funds and Legg Mason will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding this Joint Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. In addition, the Funds and Legg Mason have retained Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”), 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Computershare will be paid approximately $15.0 million for such solicitation services (plus reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses), to be borne by Legg Mason. Computershare may solicit proxies personally and by telephone.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year end of each Fund is as set forth inAppendix X.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meetings for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Meetings.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Meeting will necessitate adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Under each Fund’s By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

Please vote promptly by signing and dating each enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to similarly providing voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet.

⁽¹⁾ Information is for the Most Recent Year.

The Fund does not currently provide any pension or retirement benefits to the Board Members of Existing Board 7 or officers.

Until its termination as described below, an emeritus plan is available to Board Members. Under the plan, Board Members are required to change to emeritus status at the end of the year in which they reach age 80. Emeritus Board Members are entitled to serve for a period of up to ten years and receive one-half of the annual retainer and meeting fees paid to Board Members, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each meeting attended. Emeritus Board Members may attend meetings, but have no voting rights. Messrs. Martin Brody and Alan J. Bloostein currently serve as emeritus Board Members under the plan. During the Most Recent Year, amounts paid to emeritus Board Members were: [Mr. Brody: $14,062 and Mr. Bloostein: $23,112.] Existing Board 7 has voted to terminate the emeritus plan effective January 1, 2007, and, as to the Fund, to adopt the Emeritus Retirement Plan for the purpose of providing the payments described below to current emeritus and retiring Board Members. Notwithstanding the termination of the plan, Messrs. Brody and Bloostein will be permitted to continue their emeritus service in accordance with the emeritus plan until the date on which Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement accept their elections and commence service as Board Members.

On June 20, 2006, Existing Board 7 voted to establish, as to the Fund, a mandatory retirement age of 75 for current Board Members and 72 for future Board Members who do not currently oversee another Fund within the Fund complex. Current Board Members who have attained age 75 prior to January 1, 2007, [Messrs. Robert A. Frankel, Paul Hardin and George M. Pavia], will retire on the date on which Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement accept their elections and commence service as Board Members. [        ] other Board Members, including[insert names], have opted to retire on the same date.

Each retiring Board Member will be entitled to receive under the Emeritus Retirement Plan an aggregate benefit generally equal to the compensation the Board Member would have received under the emeritus plan, discussed above, had the plan remained in effect. This benefit will be paid in quarterly installments unless a Board Member elects to receive a lump sum payment calculated on a net present value basis. Additionally, although Mr. Dwight B. Crane is nominated to serve on Board A, the Emeritus Retirement Plan provides for Mr. Crane to receive payment of a similar retirement benefit, in a lump sum (calculated on a net present value basis) or in quarterly installments, from the Funds that Mr. Crane will no longer oversee as a result of the proposed realignment of the Existing Boards. The aggregate benefit (calculated on a net present value basis) to which each emeritus and retiring Board Member or Mr. Crane is entitled under the Emeritus Retirement Plan is set forth below.

Emeritus/Retiring Board Member Aggregate Benefit
(Net Present Value) ($)

Each Fund overseen by a retiring Board Member will pay a pro rata share (based upon asset size) of the aggregate benefit to such retiring Board Member. Legg Mason or its affiliates will reimburse each Fund an amount equal to 50% of the retiring Board Member benefits paid by the Fund.

As of May 31, 2006, all Board Members of Existing Board 7 and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

⁽²⁾ In addition to the amounts set forth above, Mses. Harrington and Kerley and Messrs. Berv, Carlton, Cocanougher, Finn, Gross, Merten, and Pettit received $50,000, $50,500, $38,500, $50,000, $39,000, $50,000, $85,500, $50,500, and $49,500, respectively, during the Most Recent Year, for service as Board Members in attending additional meetings relating to certain regulatory matters and the consideration of new custody, transfer agency, and accounting arrangements for the Funds. Those amounts were borne by the manager and/or its affiliates and not by any Fund.

⁽³⁾ Two of the funds in the Fund complex were not operational during the calendar year ended December 31, 2005.

On June 19, 2006, Existing Board 8 voted to establish a mandatory retirement age of 75 for current Board Members and 72 for other Board Members and to allow Board Members to elect to retire as of the date on which Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement accept their elections and commence service as Board Members (the “Effective Date”).

On July 10, 2006, Existing Board 8 voted to amend its two retirement plans – a retirement plan applicable to all Funds covered by Existing Board 8 (the “General Retirement Plan”) and a retirement plan adopted by the Board of Legg Mason Partners Investment Series relating to Messrs. Donald M. Carlton, A. Benton Cocanougher, Stephen Randolph Gross, Alan G. Merten and R. Richardson Pettit (the “Legg Mason Partners Investment Series Retirement Plan”). The amendments provide for the payment of certain benefits (in lieu of any other retirement payments under the plans) to Board Members who have not elected to retire as of the Effective Date. The benefits are as follows: Mr. Elliott J. Berv: $307,130; Mr. Cocanougher: $503,114; Mr. Mark T. Finn: $306,079; Mr. Gross: $318,788; Ms. Diana R. Harrington: $348,670; Ms. Susan B. Kerley: $217,984; Mr. Merten: $405,257; Mr. Pettit: $424,976. The amounts payable to these Board Members are expected approximately to equal the aggregate amounts accrued by the Funds overseen by Existing Board 8 in respect of their retirement plans. In the event that a remaining Board Member dies prior to the Effective Date, the Board Member’s beneficiary will be entitled to full retirement benefits as would be payable to a retired Board Member under the applicable plan described below rather than the benefit amount set forth above.

Under the amended retirement plans, former Board Members that had retired prior to the date of the amendment and Board Members who are electing to retire as of the Effective Date are entitled to the retirement benefits under the applicable plan as follows.

Under the General Retirement Plan, retired or retiring Board Members are generally eligible to receive a maximum retirement benefit equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Board Member during the entirety of the calendar year of the applicable Board Member’s retirement (or in the case of a Board Member retiring as of the Effective Date, the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees as in effect as of June 30, 2006). Amounts under the plan are paid in twenty equal quarterly installments, or if the applicable retired or retiring Board Member has made a timely election, in a lump sum (discounted to present value).

During the Most Recent Year, retired Board Members received the following retirement benefits under the General Retirement Plan: Messrs. Riley C. Gilley and E. Kirby Warren each received an aggregate of $70,000 in four quarterly installment payments; Mr. William S. Woods received an aggregate of $60,000 in four quarterly installment payments.

Under the Legg Mason Partners Investment Series Retirement Plan, maximum retirement benefits (calculated on a net present value basis) payable to retired or retiring Board Members are as follows: Mr. Carlton: $517,678; Mr. Cocanougher: $558,402; Mr. Gross: $517,678; Mr. Merten: $517,678; Mr. Pettit: $556,053. In order to receive benefits under the General Retirement Plan described above, a retired or retiring Board Member is required to waive all rights under the Legg Mason Partners Investment Series Retirement Plan. Mr. Carlton has elected to retire as of the Effective Date. In connection therewith, under the Legg Mason Partners Investment Series Retirement Plan, Mr. Carlton will be entitled to receive an aggregate retirement benefit of [insert] (calculated on a net present value basis). Each Fund of the Legg Mason Partners Investment Series will pay a pro rata share (based upon asset size) of such aggregate retirement benefit. Legg Mason or its affiliates will reimburse each such Fund an amount equal to 50% of the retirement benefits paid by the Fund to Mr. Carlton.

As of May 31, 2006, all Board Members of Existing Board 8 and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

⁽¹⁾ Information is for the Most Recent Year.

⁽²⁾ In addition to the amounts set forth above for the Most Recent Fiscal Year, Ms. Colman and Messrs. Breech, Dill, Hutchinson, and Schlafly received $171,750, $13,500, $15,250, $163,450, and $17,250, respectively, during the Most Recent Year, for service as Board Members in attending additional meetings relating to the approval of policies and procedures under Rule 38a-1, certain other regulatory issues, and the consideration of new custody, transfer agency, and accounting arrangements for the Funds. Those amounts were borne by the manager and/or its affiliates and not by any Fund.

⁽³⁾ Mr. Mattis resigned from the Board on August 31, 2005.

The Funds do not currently provide any pension or retirement benefits to Board Members of Existing Board 10 or officers.

Until its termination as described below, an emeritus plan is available to Board Members. Under the plan, Board Members are permitted to elect emeritus status at age 70 and, at age 75, are required to change to emeritus status. [As of February 1, 2005, however, any Board Member who turned 75 years of age in 2005 is required to change to emeritus status upon reaching the age of 76.] Emeritus status is limited in duration to the lesser of five years or the number of years of service as an active Board Member. Emeritus Board Members are paid 50% of the annual retainer fee and meeting fees otherwise applicable to Board Members, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each meeting attended. Emeritus Board Members are permitted to attend meetings but have no voting rights. Mr. Clifford M. Kirtland currently serves as an emeritus Board Member under the plan. During the Most Recent Year, Mr. Kirtland received $[                    ] for his service as an emeritus Board Member. Existing Board 10 has voted to terminate the emeritus plan effective January 1, 2007, and, as to the Funds listed above, to adopt the Emeritus Retirement Plan for the purpose of providing the payments described below to current emeritus and retiring Board Members. Notwithstanding the termination of the plan, Mr. Kirtland will be permitted to continue his emeritus service in accordance with the emeritus plan until the date on which Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement accept their elections and commence service as Board Members.

On June 27, 2006, Existing Board 10 voted to establish, as to the Funds listed above, a mandatory retirement age of 75 for current Board Members and 72 for future Board Members who do not currently oversee another Fund within the Fund complex. The current Board Member who has attained age 75 prior to January 1, 2007, Mr. William R. Dill, will retire on the date on which Board Members elected in accordance with this Joint Proxy Statement accept their elections and commence service as Board Members. [            ] other Board Members, including[insert names], have opted to retire on the same date.

Each current emeritus and retiring Board Member will be entitled to receive under the Emeritus Retirement Plan an aggregate benefit generally equal to the compensation the Board Member would have received under the emeritus plan, discussed above, had the plan remained in effect. This benefit will be paid in quarterly installments unless a Board Member elects to receive a lump sum payment calculated on a net present value basis. The aggregate benefit (calculated on a net present value basis) to which each emeritus or retiring Board Member is entitled under the Emeritus Retirement Plan is set forth below.

Emeritus/Retiring
Board Member Aggregate Benefit
(Net Present Value) ($)

C-22

Each Fund overseen by an emeritus or retiring Board Member will pay a pro rata share (based upon asset size) of the aggregate benefit to such emeritus or retiring Board Member. Legg Mason or its affiliates will reimburse each Fund an amount equal to 50% of the emeritus and retiring Board Member benefits paid by the Fund.

[As of May 31, 2006, all Board Members of Existing Board 10 and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.]

Appendix F

Standing Committees of the Existing Boards

The business and affairs of each Trust or Corporation are managed by or under the direction of its Board.

Audit Committee.Each Existing Board has a standing Audit Committee comprising all Board Members (except, in the case of Existing Board 3, comprising Messrs. Abraham and Toolan and Ms. Dasher) who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, of the Trust or Corporation and who are “independent,” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The primary purposes of each Board’s Audit Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Trust or Corporation, the qualifications and independence of the Trust or Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Trust or Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the Trust or Corporation’s audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committee approves, and recommends to the independent Board Members for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Trust or Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firms. The Audit Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Trust’s or Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firms to its manager or adviser and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Trust or Corporation’s operations and financial reporting of the Trust or Corporation. During the Most Recent Year, each Audit Committee met the following number of times:

Board	Number of Meetings
1	3
2	4

5	4
6	2
7	4
8	4
9	6
10	4*

* During the Most Recent Year, the Audit Committee of The Salomon Brothers Fund Inc met five times.

Governance or Nominating Committee. Each Existing Board has a standing Governance or Nominating Committee. All Board Members who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, are members of the Governance or Nominating Committee, except, in the case of Existing Board 3, [Messrs. Abraham, Foley and Hanson] are members of the Nominating Committee.

Each Governance or Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. Each Governance or Nominating Committee met the following number of times in the Most Recent Year:

Board	Number of Meetings
1	1
2	2
3	[0]
4	0

6	0
7	2
8	4
9	1*
10	[1]

* During the Most Recent Year, the Nominating Committee of Salomon Brothers Series Funds Inc met four times.

F-1

Each Governance or Nominating Committee may consider nominees recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to the Trust or Corporation’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. A recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders. A copy of the Governance or Nominating Committee Charter for each Trust or Corporation is included inAppendix G.

Each Governance or Nominating Committee also identifies potential nominees through its network of contacts and may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by majority vote. None of the Governance or Nominating Committees has specific, minimum qualifications for nominees, and none has established specific qualities or skills that it regards as necessary for one or more of the Board Members to possess (other than any qualities or skills that may be required by applicable law, regulation or listing standard). However, in evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Board Member, the Governance or Nominating Committee may consider the following factors, among any others it may deem relevant:

• whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Board Member;

• whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser, service providers or their affiliates;

• whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes;

• whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board Member;

• the contribution which the person can make to the Board (or, if the person has previously served as a Board Member, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant;

• the character and integrity of the person; and

• whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the retirement policies of the Trust or Corporation, as applicable.

Several Boards have additional standing committees, as follows:

The Committees shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge the duties and responsibilities specified in this Charter, including the authority to select, retain, terminate, and approve the fees and other retention terms of special counsel or other experts or consultants, such as search firms used to identify director candidates, as it deems appropriate, without seeking approval of the Boards or management.

In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the Governance Committee will do the following:

• Monitor and evaluate the structure, size, procedures and performance of the Board and the Committees, and make recommendations to the board regarding the same. This shall be accomplished, at least in part, by the Governance Committee coordinating a Board self-assessment, which will cover such matters as the Committee deems appropriate, as well as the matters required by the fund governance standards of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such a self-assessment shall be conducted at least annually.

• Monitor and evaluate Board meeting materials and the conduct of Board meetings, and make recommendations to the Board regarding the same.

• Present annually for Board approval recommended Board meeting dates, times and locations.

• Monitor industry and legal developments (particularly those applicable to Trustees) and ongoing Trustee compliance with applicable law. Report and make recommendations to the Board regarding the same.

• Review and make recommendations regarding Trustee compensation.

• Establish and evaluate guidelines for the conduct of Trustees and Trustee retirement.

• When vacancies on the Board occur, develop lists of desired characteristics of candidates and serve as a nominating committee for independent Trustees.

• Ensure that appropriate orientation and training opportunities are available to the independent Trustees on an ongoing basis.

G-4

• Coordinate with the Chairman of the Board and management to ensure that the independent Trustees have adequate opportunity in conjunction with Board meetings to meet with each other and counsel to discuss issues of interest or concern to the independent Trustees.

• Report to the Board on a regular basis.

The Committee may also address other issues as they are identified and delegated to the Committee.

The Committee will review this Charter periodically and recommend any changes to the Board.

Concerning the Committee

• The Governance Committee shall continue in existence until dissolved by the Board.

• The Governance Committee shall be composed solely of the independent Trustees of each Trust.

• The Governance Committee shall meet at least twice per year, generally in conjunction with scheduled Board meetings. Additional meetings may be called by the Chair of the Committee as needed.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this [    ] day of [    ], 2006, by and among [            ], a Massachusetts business trust (the “Successor Entity”), with its principal place of business at 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, on behalf of each of its series listed inExhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Successor Fund”), [and] [                            ], a [Massachusetts business trust/Maryland corporation] (the “Predecessor Entity”), with its principal place of business at 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, on behalf of each of its series listed inExhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Predecessor Fund”), and, solely for purposes of paragraph 10.2 hereof, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC.

WHEREAS, each of the Predecessor Funds is a series of the Predecessor Entity, an open-end management investment company registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, each of the Successor Funds has been organized in order to continue the business and operations of the corresponding Predecessor Fund;

WHEREAS, each Successor Fund currently has no assets and has carried on no business activities prior to the date first shown above and will have had no assets and will have carried on no business activities prior to the consummation of the transaction described herein;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted, with respect to each Predecessor Fund and its corresponding Successor Fund as set forth onExhibit A, as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, the contemplated reorganization will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of each of the Predecessor Funds to the corresponding Successor Fund in exchange solely for classes of shares of beneficial interest of such Successor Fund (“Successor Fund Shares”) corresponding to the classes of outstanding shares of [beneficial interest/common stock] of such Predecessor Fund (“Predecessor Fund Shares”), as described herein, (2) the assumption by such Successor Fund of all liabilities of the corresponding Predecessor Fund, and [Include if Predecessor Entity is a Massachusetts business trust—(3) the subsequent distribution of the Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of the corresponding Predecessor Fund in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund [Include if Predecessor Entity is a Maryland corporation—(3) the distribution of the Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund and the termination of the Predecessor Fund], as provided herein (in each case with respect to a Predecessor Fund and the corresponding Successor Fund as set forth onExhibit A, a “Reorganization”), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the Reorganization of each Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Entity will deregister as an investment company in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”);

[Include if Predecessor Entity is a Massachusetts business trust—WHEREAS, following the effective date of its deregistration, the Predecessor Entity shall voluntarily dissolve in accordance with Massachusetts law;]

I-1

WHEREAS, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each of certain Predecessor Funds identified inExhibit B (“Contingent Predecessor Funds”), has entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization pursuant to which each Contingent Predecessor Fund will be reorganized with another registered investment company or series thereof (with respect to each Contingent Predecessor Fund, the “Primary Reorganization”), subject to approval of the Primary Reorganization by the shareholders of such Contingent Predecessor Fund, and this Agreement shall not be effective with respect to such Contingent Predecessor Fund in the event that the Primary Reorganization is consummated;

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

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF EACH PREDECESSOR FUND TO THE CORRESPONDING SUCCESSOR FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR SUCCESSOR FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL PREDECESSOR FUND LIABILITIES [for Massachusetts business trusts: AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE PREDECESSOR FUND] [for Maryland corporations:, THE SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTION OF SUCCESSOR FUND SHARES AND THE TERMINATION OF THE PREDECESSOR FUND]

1.1 Subject to requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each Predecessor Fund, agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of such Predecessor Fund’s property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the corresponding Successor Fund, and the Successor Entity, on behalf of each Successor Fund, agrees in exchange therefor: (a) to deliver to the corresponding Predecessor Fund the number, determined in accordance with paragraph 1.4, of full and fractional Successor Fund Shares corresponding to each class of the Predecessor Fund Shares as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1; and (b) to assume all liabilities of such Predecessor Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions, in each case with respect to a Predecessor Fund and a corresponding Successor Fund, shall take place on a closing date as provided for in paragraph 3.1 (a “Closing Date”).Exhibit A attached hereto shows each Successor Fund and its classes of shares and the corresponding Predecessor Fund and its classes of shares. [Add as appropriate—For purposes of this Agreement, each class of shares of each Predecessor Fund as set forth onExhibit A corresponds to the class of shares of the corresponding Successor Fund as set forth on such Exhibit, and the term Successor Fund Shares should be read to include each such class of shares of such Successor Fund.]

1.2 The property and assets of the Predecessor Entity, attributable to each Predecessor Fund, to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and delivered to and acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, shall consist of all assets and property of every kind and nature of the Predecessor Fund, including, without limitation, all rights, receivables (including dividend, interest and other receivables), cash, cash equivalents, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), securities, commodities and futures interests, good will and other intangible property, any deferred or prepaid expenses and all interests, rights, privileges and powers (collectively, with respect to each Predecessor Fund separately, “Assets”). The Successor Entity, on behalf of each Successor Fund, shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the corresponding Predecessor Fund, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations of such Predecessor Fund with respect to the current and former Trustees and officers of the Predecessor Entity, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date (as defined in Section 2) (collectively, with respect to each Predecessor Fund separately, “Liabilities”). The Predecessor Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Predecessor Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Predecessor Fund acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund.

1.3 Immediately upon delivery to the Predecessor Fund of the Successor Fund Shares, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, as the then sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, shall (a) approve the advisory agreement with respect to the Successor Fund, (b) approve the distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each class of Successor Fund Shares, (c) approve any agreement and plan of reorganization with respect to the Predecessor Fund that is assumed by the Successor Fund, (d) elect Trustees of the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund and (e) approve any other matter for which shareholder approval is required.

1.4 Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, the Predecessor Entity shall take such actions necessary to complete the liquidation of each Predecessor Fund. To complete the reorganization, the Predecessor Entity, on

I-2

behalf of each Predecessor Fund, shall (a) distribute to its shareholders of record with respect to each class of Predecessor Fund Shares as of the Closing Date (“Predecessor Fund Shareholders”), on apro rata basis within that class, the Successor Fund Shares of the corresponding class received by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of the Predecessor Fund, pursuant to paragraph 1.1, [and (b) completely liquidate and dissolve in accordance with applicable Massachusetts law] [(b) thereafter, redeem or cancel, as the case may be, shares of the Predecessor Fund in accordance with Maryland law and (c) terminate the Predecessor Fund]. Such distribution shall be accomplished, with respect to each class of Predecessor Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Successor Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the Successor Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Successor Fund in the names of the Predecessor Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of each class of Successor Fund Shares to be so credited to each corresponding class of Predecessor Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Predecessor Fund Shares of the corresponding class owned by Predecessor Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding Predecessor Fund Shares will be canceled on the books of the Predecessor Fund. The Successor Fund shall not issue certificates representing any class of Successor Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

1.5 Ownership of Successor Fund Shares will be shown on the books of each Successor Fund’s transfer agent.

1.6 Any regulatory reporting responsibility of a Predecessor Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports or other documents with the Commission, any state securities commission, or any other relevant regulatory authority (but excluding the filing of any tax returns), is and shall remain the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund.

[Include if Predecessor Entity is a Massachusetts business trust—1.7 As promptly as practicable following the Reorganization of each Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Entity will take all necessary action to effect its deregistration as an investment company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and shall subsequently voluntarily dissolve in accordance with the requirements of Massachusetts law.]

2. VALUATION

The value of the Assets and the amount of the Liabilities of each Predecessor Fund shall be determined as of the time for calculation of its net asset value as set forth in the then-current prospectus for the Predecessor Fund, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Predecessor Fund, on the applicable Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), computed using the valuation procedures established by the Predecessor Entity Board. All computations of value and amounts shall be made by the fund accountant for each Predecessor Fund.

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Closing Date with respect to each Reorganization shall be [                    ], 2007, or such other date as the parties may agree with respect to such Reorganization. All acts taking place at the closing of a Reorganization as provided for in this Agreement with respect to each such Reorganization (a “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the “close of business” on the Closing Date for such Reorganization unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on a Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time or such later time on that date as the Predecessor Fund’s net asset value is calculated in accordance with Section 2 and after the declaration of any dividends. Each Closing shall be held at the offices of [                    ] or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree. The Closing Date need not be the same date for each Reorganization.

3.2 The Predecessor Entity shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”) to transfer ownership of the Assets from the accounts of the applicable Predecessor Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Predecessor Fund to the accounts of the Successor Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Successor Fund and to deliver to the Successor Entity, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) the Assets of the Predecessor Fund have been so transferred as of the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets of the Predecessor Fund, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.

3.3 The Predecessor Entity shall direct [            ], in its capacity as transfer agent for each Predecessor Fund (“Transfer Agent”), to deliver to the Successor Entity at the Closing of the Reorganization of such Predecessor Fund a certificate of an

I-3

authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Predecessor Fund Shareholder and the number and percentage ownership of each outstanding class of Predecessor Fund Shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. Each Successor Fund shall deliver to the Secretary of the corresponding Predecessor Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate number of Successor Fund Shares have been credited to such Predecessor Fund’s account on the books of such Successor Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 and (b) the appropriate number of Successor Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund Shareholders on the books of such Successor Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4. At the applicable Closing, each party shall deliver to the other party such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

3.4 In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of a Predecessor Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of such Predecessor Fund is impracticable (in the judgment of the Predecessor Entity Board with respect to such Predecessor Fund), the Closing Date with respect to such Reorganization shall be postponed until the first Friday (that is also a business day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Except as has been fully disclosed to the Successor Entity inSchedule 4.1 of this Agreement, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each Predecessor Fund, severally, but not jointly, represents and warrants to the Successor Entity and the corresponding Successor Fund as follows:

(a) Such Predecessor Fund is duly established as a series of the Predecessor Entity, which is a [business trust/corporation] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the [Commonwealth of Massachusetts/State of Maryland], with power under the Predecessor Entity’s [Declaration of Trust/Articles of Incorporation], as amended (the “Predecessor Entity Charter”), to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. The Predecessor Entity is duly qualified to do business as a foreign [trust/corporation] in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, net assets or results of operations of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in paragraph 4.1(c).

(b) The Predecessor Entity is a registered open-end management investment company, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of each class of Predecessor Fund Shares of such Predecessor Fund under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), is in full force and effect.

(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by such Predecessor Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of such Predecessor Fund (true and correct copies of which have been delivered to the Successor Entity) and each prospectus and statement of additional information of such Predecessor Fund used during the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement conforms or conformed at the time of its use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not or did not at the time of its use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

(e) On the Closing Date, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will have good and marketable title to such Predecessor Fund’s Assets and full right, power and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, excluding such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

I-4

(f) Such Predecessor Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will not result, in a material violation of [Massachusetts/Maryland] law or of the Predecessor Entity Charter or the by-laws of the Predecessor Entity, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will not result in the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

(g) All material contracts or other commitments of such Predecessor Fund (other than this Agreement, certain investment contracts, including options, futures, swaps and forward contracts, the indemnification agreements of the current and former Board Members of the Predecessor Entity, and those contracts listed inSchedule 4.1) will terminate without liability to such Predecessor Fund on or prior to the Closing Date. Each contract listed inSchedule 4.1 is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Predecessor Fund and, to the Predecessor Fund’s knowledge, the other parties thereto (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto) and the assignment by such Predecessor Fund to the corresponding Successor Fund of each such contract will not result in the termination of such contract, any breach or default thereunder by such Predecessor Fund or the imposition of any penalty thereunder.

(h) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or, to the Predecessor Entity’s knowledge, threatened against the Predecessor Entity, with respect to such Predecessor Fund, or any of its properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of such Predecessor Fund’s business. The Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body which materially and adversely affects such Predecessor Fund’s business or the Predecessor Entity’s ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated on behalf of such Predecessor Fund.

(i) The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and Schedule of Investments of such Predecessor Fund as at the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year of such Predecessor Fund prior to the date of this Agreement, have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and such statements (true and correct copies of which have been furnished to the Successor Entity) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of such Predecessor Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent, accrued or other liabilities of such Predecessor Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date that are not disclosed therein.

9.2 The Predecessor Entity, out of each Predecessor Fund’s assets and property (including any amounts paid to the Predecessor Fund pursuant to any applicable liability insurance policies or indemnification agreements), agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Successor Entity and its Trustees and officers from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including, without limitation, the payment of reasonable legal fees and reasonable costs of investigation) to which the corresponding Successor Fund may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions with respect thereto) arises out of or is based on (a) any breach by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (b) any act, error, omission, neglect, misstatement, materially misleading statement, breach of duty or other act wrongfully done or attempted to be committed by the Predecessor Entity or its Board Members or officers prior to the Closing Date,providedthat such indemnification by the Predecessor Entity is not (i) in violation of applicable law or (ii) otherwise prohibited as a result of any applicable order or decree issued by any governing regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction.

Additional costs, including expenses related to the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, legal fees and auditor fees, shall be divided equally between Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, on the one hand, and the Successor Entity and the Predecessor Entity, on the other hand. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another person of such expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a “regulated investment company” within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code or would prevent the Reorganization from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization.

11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES

11.1 The Successor Entity and the Predecessor Entity agree that neither party has made any representation, warranty or covenant, on behalf of either a Successor Fund or a Predecessor Fund, respectively, not set forth herein and that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties.

All other representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and shall terminate on the Closing.

12. TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned with respect to any Successor Fund or Predecessor Fund at any time prior to the Closing Date with respect to the applicable Reorganization by resolution of the Successor Entity Board or the Predecessor Entity Board, as applicable, at any time prior to the Closing Date, if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of that Board, make proceeding with the Agreement inadvisable with respect to such Successor Fund or such Predecessor Fund, respectively. In addition, this Agreement shall be terminated with respect to each Contingent Predecessor Fund, if the shareholders of such Contingent Predecessor Fund approve the Primary Reorganization of such Contingent Predecessor Fund and such Primary Reorganization is consummated. The termination of this Agreement with respect to a Predecessor Fund or its corresponding Successor Fund shall not affect the continued effectiveness of this Agreement with respect to any other Predecessor Fund or Successor Fund, nor shall it affect the rights and obligations of any party in respect of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

13. AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such manner as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the authorized officers of Predecessor Entity and the Successor Entity;provided,however, that following the meeting of the Predecessor Fund shareholders called by the Predecessor Fund pursuant to paragraph 5.2 of this Agreement, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Successor Fund Shares to be issued to Predecessor Fund shareholders under this Agreement to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval.

14. NOTICES

Any notice, report, statement or demand required or permitted by any provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by facsimile, electronic delivery (i.e., e-mail) personal service or prepaid or certified mail addressed to the Successor Entity or the Predecessor Entity, at its address set forth in the preamble to this Agreement, in each case to the attention of its President.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this [    ] day of [    ], 2006, by and among [            ], a Maryland business trust (the “Successor Entity”), with its principal place of business at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, on behalf of each of its series listed inExhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Successor Fund”), [and] [                            ], a Massachusetts business trust (the “Predecessor Entity”), with its principal place of business at 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, on behalf of each of its series listed inExhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Predecessor Fund”) and, solely for purposes of paragraph 10.2 hereof, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC.

WHEREAS, each of the Predecessor Funds is a series of the Predecessor Entity, an open-end management investment company registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, each of the Successor Funds has been organized in order to continue the business and operations of the corresponding Predecessor Fund;

WHEREAS, each Successor Fund currently has no assets and has carried on no business activities prior to the date first shown above and will have had no assets and will have carried on no business activities prior to the consummation of the transaction described herein;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted, with respect to each Predecessor Fund and its corresponding Successor Fund as set forth onExhibit A, as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, the contemplated reorganization will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of each of the Predecessor Funds to the corresponding Successor Fund in exchange solely for classes of shares of beneficial interest of such Successor Fund (“Successor Fund Shares”) corresponding to the classes of outstanding shares of beneficial interest of such Predecessor Fund (“Predecessor Fund Shares”), as described herein, (2) the assumption by such Successor Fund of all liabilities of the corresponding Predecessor Fund, and (3) the distribution of the Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of the corresponding Predecessor Fund in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund, as provided herein (in each case with respect to a Predecessor Fund and the corresponding Successor Fund as set forth onExhibit A, a “Reorganization”), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the Reorganization of each Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Entity shall voluntarily dissolve in accordance with Massachusetts law;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Successor Entity (the “Successor Entity Board”) has determined, with respect to each Successor Fund, that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the corresponding Predecessor Fund for Successor Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of such Predecessor Fund by the corresponding Successor Fund is in the best interests of each Successor Fund and its shareholders;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Predecessor Entity (the “Predecessor Entity Board”) has determined, with respect to each Predecessor Fund, that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of such Predecessor Fund for Successor Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of such Predecessor Fund by the corresponding Successor Fund pursuant to this Agreement is in the best interests of each Predecessor Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

WHEREAS, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each of certain Predecessor Funds identified inExhibit B (“Contingent Predecessor Funds”), has entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization pursuant to which each Contingent Predecessor Fund will be reorganized with another registered investment company or series thereof (with respect to each Contingent Predecessor Fund, the “Primary Reorganization”), subject to approval of the Primary Reorganization by the shareholders of such Contingent Predecessor Fund, and this Agreement shall not be effective with respect to such Contingent Predecessor Fund in the event that the Primary Reorganization is consummated;

N-1

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

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF EACH PREDECESSOR FUND TO THE CORRESPONDING SUCCESSOR FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR SUCCESSOR FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL PREDECESSOR FUND LIABILITIES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE PREDECESSOR FUND

1.1 Subject to requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each Predecessor Fund, agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of such Predecessor Fund’s property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the corresponding Successor Fund, and the Successor Entity, on behalf of each Successor Fund, agrees in exchange therefor: (a) to deliver to the corresponding Predecessor Fund the number, determined in accordance with paragraph 1.4, of full and fractional Successor Fund Shares corresponding to each class of the Predecessor Fund Shares as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1; and (b) to assume all liabilities of such Predecessor Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions, in each case with respect to a Predecessor Fund and a corresponding Successor Fund, shall take place on a closing date as provided for in paragraph 3.1 (a “Closing Date”).Exhibit A attached hereto shows each Successor Fund and its classes of shares and the corresponding Predecessor Fund and its classes of shares. [Add as appropriate—For purposes of this Agreement, each class of shares of each Predecessor Fund as set forth onExhibit A corresponds to the class of shares of the corresponding Successor Fund as set forth on such Exhibit, and the term Successor Fund Shares should be read to include each such class of shares of such Successor Fund.]

1.2 The property and assets of the Predecessor Entity, attributable to each Predecessor Fund, to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and delivered to and acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, shall consist of all assets and property of every kind and nature of the Predecessor Fund, including, without limitation, all rights, receivables (including dividend, interest and other receivables), cash, cash equivalents, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), securities, commodities and futures interests, good will and other intangible property, any deferred or prepaid expenses and all interests, rights, privileges and powers (collectively, with respect to each Predecessor Fund separately, “Assets”). The Successor Entity, on behalf of each Successor Fund, shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the corresponding Predecessor Fund, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations of such Predecessor Fund with respect to the current and former Trustees and officers of the Predecessor Entity, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date (as defined in Section 2) (collectively, with respect to each Predecessor Fund separately, “Liabilities”). The Predecessor Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Predecessor Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Predecessor Fund acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund.

1.3 Immediately upon delivery to the Predecessor Fund of the Successor Fund Shares, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, as the then sole shareholder of the corresponding Successor Fund, shall (a) approve the advisory agreement with respect to the Successor Fund, (b) approve the distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each class of Successor Fund Shares, (c) approve any agreement and plan of reorganization with respect to the Predecessor Fund that is assumed by the Successor Fund, (d) elect Trustees of the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund and (e) approve any other matter for which shareholder approval is required.

1.4 Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, the Predecessor Entity shall take such actions necessary to complete the liquidation of each Predecessor Fund. To complete the liquidation, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each Predecessor Fund, shall (a) distribute to its shareholders of record with respect to each class of Predecessor Fund Shares as of the Closing Date (“Predecessor Fund Shareholders”), on apro rata basis within that class, the Successor Fund Shares of the corresponding class received by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of the Predecessor Fund, pursuant to paragraph 1.1 and (b) completely liquidate and dissolve in accordance with applicable Massachusetts law. Such distribution and liquidation shall be accomplished, with respect to each class of Predecessor Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Successor Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the Successor Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Successor Fund in the names of the Predecessor Fund Shareholders. The

N-2

aggregate net asset value of each class of Successor Fund Shares to be so credited to each corresponding class of Predecessor Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Predecessor Fund Shares of the corresponding class owned by Predecessor Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding Predecessor Fund Shares will be canceled on the books of the Predecessor Fund. The Successor Fund shall not issue certificates representing any class of Successor Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

1.5 Ownership of Successor Fund Shares will be shown on the books of each Successor Fund’s transfer agent.

1.6 Any regulatory reporting responsibility of a Predecessor Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, or any other relevant regulatory authority (but excluding the filing of any tax returns), is and shall remain the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund.

2. VALUATION

The value of the Assets and the amount of the Liabilities of each Predecessor Fund shall be determined as of the time for calculation of its net asset value as set forth in the then-current prospectus for the Predecessor Fund, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Predecessor Fund, on the applicable Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), computed using the valuation procedures established by the Predecessor Entity Board. All computations of value and amounts shall be made by the fund accountant for each Predecessor Fund.

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Closing Date with respect to each Reorganization shall be [                    ], 2007, or such other date as the parties may agree with respect to such Reorganization. All acts taking place at the closing of a Reorganization as provided for in this Agreement with respect to each such Reorganization (a “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the “close of business” on the Closing Date for such Reorganization unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on a Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time or such later time on that date as the Predecessor Fund’s net asset value is calculated in accordance with Section 2 and after the declaration of any dividends. Each Closing shall be held at the offices of [            ] or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

3.2 The Predecessor Entity shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”) to transfer ownership of the Assets from the accounts of the applicable Predecessor Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Predecessor Fund to the accounts of the Successor Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Successor Fund and to deliver to the Successor Entity, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) the Assets of the Predecessor Fund have been so transferred as of the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets of the Predecessor Fund, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.

3.3 The Predecessor Entity shall direct [            ], in its capacity as transfer agent for each Predecessor Fund (“Transfer Agent”), to deliver to the Successor Entity at the Closing of the Reorganization of such Predecessor Fund a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Predecessor Fund Shareholder and the number and percentage ownership of each outstanding class of Predecessor Fund Shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. Each Successor Fund shall deliver to the Secretary of the corresponding Predecessor Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate number of Successor Fund Shares have been credited to such Predecessor Fund’s account on the books of such Successor Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 and (b) the appropriate number of Successor Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund Shareholders on the books of such Successor Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4. At the applicable Closing, each party shall deliver to the other party such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

3.4 In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of a Predecessor Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of such Predecessor Fund is impracticable (in the judgment of the Predecessor Entity Board with respect to such Predecessor Fund), the Closing Date with respect to such Reorganization shall be postponed until

N-3

the first Friday (that is also a business day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Except as has been fully disclosed to the Successor Entity inSchedule 4.1 of this Agreement, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of each Predecessor Fund, severally, but not jointly, represents and warrants to the Successor Entity and the corresponding Successor Fund as follows:

(a) Such Predecessor Fund is duly established as a series of the Predecessor Entity, which is a business trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with power under the Predecessor Entity’s Declaration of Trust, as amended (the “Predecessor Entity Charter”), to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. The Predecessor Entity is duly qualified to do business as a foreign trust in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, net assets or results of operations of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in paragraph 4.1(c).

(b) The Predecessor Entity is a registered open-end management investment company, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of each class of Predecessor Fund Shares of such Predecessor Fund under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), is in full force and effect.

(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by such Predecessor Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of such Predecessor Fund (true and correct copies of which have been delivered to the Successor Entity) and each prospectus and statement of additional information of such Predecessor Fund used during the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement conforms or conformed at the time of its use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not or did not at the time of its use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

(e) On the Closing Date, the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will have good and marketable title to such Predecessor Fund’s Assets and full right, power and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, the Successor Entity, on behalf of the corresponding Successor Fund, will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, excluding such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

(f) Such Predecessor Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will not result, in a material violation of Massachusetts law or of the Predecessor Entity Charter or the by-laws of the Predecessor Entity, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, will not result in the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

(g) All material contracts or other commitments of such Predecessor Fund (other than this Agreement, certain investment contracts, including options, futures, swaps and forward contracts, the indemnification agreements of the current and former Trustees of the Predecessor Entity, and those contracts listed inSchedule 4.1) will terminate without liability to such Predecessor Fund on or prior to the Closing Date. Each contract listed inSchedule 4.1 is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Predecessor Fund and, to the Predecessor Fund’s knowledge, the other parties thereto

N-4

(assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto) and the assignment by such Predecessor Fund to the corresponding Successor Fund of each such contract will not result in the termination of such contract, any breach or default thereunder by such Predecessor Fund or the imposition of any penalty thereunder.

(h) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or, to the Predecessor Entity’s knowledge, threatened against the Predecessor Entity, with respect to such Predecessor Fund or any of its properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of such Predecessor Fund’s business. The Predecessor Entity, on behalf of such Predecessor Fund is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body which materially and adversely affects such Predecessor Fund’s business or the Predecessor Entity’s ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated on behalf of such Predecessor Fund.

(i) The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and Schedule of Investments of such Predecessor Fund as at the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year of such Predecessor Fund prior to the date of this Agreement, have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and such statements (true and correct copies of which have been furnished to the Successor Entity) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of such Predecessor Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent, accrued or other liabilities of such Predecessor Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date that are not disclosed therein. [Add if any Predecessor Fund has issued a more recent semi-annual report or will issue a semi-annual report prior to closing—The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and Schedule of Investments (unaudited) of each Predecessor Fund as at the last day of the most recently completed fiscal half year of such Predecessor Fund following the date of the audited annual statements referenced above [are/will be when sent to Predecessor Fund shareholders in the regular course] in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and such statements [present/will present] fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of such Predecessor Fund, and all known contingent, accrued or other liabilities of such Predecessor Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date [are/will be] disclosed therein.]

(j) Since the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year of such Predecessor Fund prior to the date of this Agreement, there has not been any material adverse change in such Predecessor Fund’s financial condition, assets, liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by such Predecessor Fund of indebtedness for money borrowed maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred. For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Predecessor Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by such Predecessor Fund, the discharge of such Predecessor Fund’s liabilities, or the redemption of Predecessor Fund Shares by shareholders of such Predecessor Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

(k) Each Predecessor Fund is a separate fund of the Predecessor Entity within the meaning of Section 851(g) of the Code.

(l) On the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms and other tax-related reports of such Predecessor Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions) shall have been filed and shall be correct in all material respects, and all taxes required to be paid by such Predecessor Fund (whether or not shown or required to be shown as due on any return) shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof and, to the best of the Predecessor Entity’s knowledge, no such return shall be under audit and no additional assessment of any tax shall have been proposed or asserted by any governmental authority with respect to such Predecessor Fund.

(m) For each taxable year of its operation, such Predecessor Fund shall have met the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification and treatment as a “regulated investment company,” shall have elected to be treated as such, shall have been eligible to compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code and shall have computed its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code. For any taxable year not yet completed as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, the Predecessor Entity reasonably expects that the corresponding Successor Fund, as successor to such Predecessor Fund, will be able to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification and treatment as a regulated investment company and will be eligible to compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code.

(n) All issued and outstanding Predecessor Fund Shares of such Predecessor Fund are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly authorized and validly and legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by the Predecessor Entity and

N-5

have been offered and sold in any state, territory or the District of Columbia in compliance in all material respects with applicable registration requirements of all applicable federal and state securities laws.

Appendix P

Comparison of Current and Proposed Fundamental Policies

The following are fourteen charts comparing the current and proposed fundamental investment policies of each of the Funds. Funds are grouped by chart based on similarities in their current fundamental investment policies. You should look for the chart or charts containing a comparison of the fundamental investment policies for your Fund or Funds, as the case may be.

You should note that the charts may not include the exact wording of the fundamental investment descriptions described. For example, references to a particular Fund or to a “Portfolio” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Fund.” Also, in some cases where a current policy relates to multiple matters, the individual items are addressed separately in the charts to facilitate a comparison with the corresponding proposed policy. In addition, grammatical differences, such as the use of singular versus plural and other immaterial variations in wording have been disregarded.

	For Salomon Brothers Institutional High Yield Bond Fund: The Fund may not invest more than 5% of the current value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; however, up to 25% of the value of the total assets of the Fund may be invested without regard to this limitation so long as no more than 25% of its total assets are invested in the securities of any one issuer. For purposes of this investment limitation, both the borrower under a loan and the lender selling a participation will be considered an “issuer.”	Retain current policy.

Plan of Liquidation

The following Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) of [Legg Mason Partners Hansberger Global Value Fund/Legg Mason Partners Real Return Strategy Fund] (the “Fund”), a series of Legg Mason Partners Investment Funds, Inc., organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, which has operated as an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is intended to accomplish the complete liquidation of the Fund in conformity with the provisions of Maryland law, the Fund’s governing documents and the 1940 Act.

WHEREAS, the Fund’s Board of Directors, at a meeting held on June 29, 2006, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund to liquidate and dissolve the Fund;

After the Effective Date, the Fund will not engage in any business activities except for the purpose of paying, satisfying, and discharging any existing debts and obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind up its business and affairs and may cease to invest its assets in accordance with its investment objective. As soon as is reasonable and practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date (the “Liquidation Date”), the Fund will complete the sale of the portfolio securities it holds in order to convert its assets to cash or cash equivalents, provided, however, that the Fund may invest the proceeds of the sale of portfolio securities in investment grade short-term debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars.

3.Notice of Liquidation. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Fund shall provide notice to its shareholders, of the liquidation of the Fund. Such notice shall encourage shareholders to redeem their Fund shares and shall inform shareholders that any liquidating distribution due to them will be distributed by the mailing of a check to each shareholder at such person’s address of record, unless such person issues other written instructions to the Fund.

4.Payments of Debts. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Fund shall determine and shall pay, or set aside in U.S. cash or U.S. cash equivalents, the amount of all known or reasonably ascertainable liabilities of the Fund incurred or expected to be incurred prior to the liquidating distribution provided for in Section 5, below.

5.Liquidating Distribution. On the Liquidation Date, the Fund shall distribute pro rata to the Fund’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Liquidation Date all of the remaining assets of the Fund in complete cancellation and redemption of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s assets, less an estimated amount necessary to discharge (a) any unpaid liabilities and obligations of the Fund on the Fund’s books on the date of the first distribution, and (b) liabilities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably deem to exist against the assets of the Fund. The Board of Directors or any authorized officer of the Fund shall be authorized to set a record date for, and to cause the Fund to make, the payment of a dividend of any undistributed gains and/or income of the Fund, whether as part of the liquidating distribution or otherwise.

Following the Liquidation Date, if the Fund receives any form of cash or is entitled to any other distributions that it had not recorded on its books on or before the Liquidation Date, the aggregate amount of which is determined by the Board of Directors of the Fund not to bede minimis after taking into account all expenses associated with effecting the disposition thereof, such cash or distribution shall be disbursed to the shareholders of record of the Fund as of the Liquidation Date, on a pro rata basis, in such manner as the Board of Directors or, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, the Fund’s officers shall deem appropriate.

Form of Management Agreement

with

Legg Mason Capital Management Inc.

This MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this [    ] day of [    ], [    ], by and between [NAME OF TRUST/ CORPORATION] (the “[Trust/Corporation]”) and Legg Mason Capital Management Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Manager”).

WHEREAS, the [Trust/Corporation] is registered as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, the Manager is engaged primarily in rendering investment advisory, management and administrative services and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

WHEREAS, the [Trust/Corporation] wishes to retain the Manager to provide investment advisory, management, and administrative services to the [Trust/Corporation] [with respect to the series of the [Trust/Corporation] designated in Schedule A annexed hereto (the “Fund”)]; and

WHEREAS, the Manager is willing to furnish such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. The [Trust/Corporation] hereby appoints the Manager to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

2. The Fund shall at all times keep the Manager fully informed with regard to the securities owned by it, its funds available, or to become available, for investment, and generally as to the condition of its affairs. It shall furnish the Manager with such other documents and information with regard to its affairs as the Manager may from time to time reasonably request.

3. (a) Subject to the supervision of the [Trust/Corporation]’s Board of [Trustees/Directors] (the “Board”), the Manager shall regularly provide the Fund with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Manager shall determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the assets of the Fund’s portfolio will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the [Trust/Corporation]’s [Declaration of Trust/Articles of Incorporation] and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Manager. The Manager is authorized as the agent of the [Trust/Corporation] to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and direction from the Board, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of a Fund in one or more investment companies. The Manager will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Manager is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage

R-1

and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Manager and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Manager’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein. The Manager shall also provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund, shall exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and shall perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board.

(b) Subject to the direction and control of the Board, the Manager shall perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Fund as necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as (i) supervising the overall administration of the Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with and the monitoring of performance and billings of the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian and other independent contractors or agents, (ii) providing certain compliance, fund accounting, regulatory reporting, and tax reporting services, (iii) preparing or participating in the preparation of Board materials, registration statements, proxy statements and reports and other communications to shareholders, (iv) maintaining the Fund’s existence, and (v) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the distribution of the shares of any Fund, nor shall the Manager be deemed to have assumed or have any responsibility with respect to functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian, shareholder servicing agent or other agent, in each case employed by the Fund to perform such functions.

(c) The Fund hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Manager which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Fund hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with members of the Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of the Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Manager or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Manager or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time, and will comply with all other provisions of the Governing Documents and the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relative to the Manager and its directors and officers.

4. Subject to the Board’s approval, the Manager or the Fund may enter into contracts with one or more investment subadvisers or subadministrators, including without limitation, affiliates of the Manager, in which the Manager delegates to such investment subadvisers or subadministrators any or all its duties specified hereunder, on such terms as the Manager will determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, provided that in each case the Manager shall supervise the activities of each such subadviser or subadministrator and further provided that such contracts impose on any investment subadviser or subadministrator bound thereby all the conditions to which the Manager is subject hereunder and that such contracts are entered into in accordance with and meet all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

5. (a) The Manager, at its expense, shall supply the Board and officers of the [Trust/Corporation] with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Manager and shall furnish the Fund with office facilities, including space, furniture and equipment and all personnel reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Manager shall oversee the maintenance of all books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and the keeping of the Fund’s books of account in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Manager hereby agrees that any records that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund’s request. The Manager further agrees to arrange for the preservation of the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act. The Manager shall authorize and permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as Board members or officers of the Fund, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.

(b) The Manager shall bear all expenses, and shall furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel, in connection with its responsibilities under this Agreement. Other than as herein specifically indicated, the Manager shall not be

R-2

responsible for the Fund’s expenses, including, without limitation, advisory fees; distribution fees; interest; taxes; governmental fees; voluntary assessments and other expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; organization costs of the Fund; the cost (including brokerage commissions, transaction fees or charges, if any) in connection with the purchase or sale of the Fund’s securities and other investments and any losses in connection therewith; fees and expenses of custodians, transfer agents, registrars, independent pricing vendors or other agents; legal expenses; loan commitment fees; expenses relating to share certificates; expenses relating to the issuing and redemption or repurchase of the Fund’s shares and servicing shareholder accounts; expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund’s shares for sale under applicable federal and state law; expenses of preparing, setting in print, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and any supplements thereto, reports, proxy statements, notices and dividends to the Fund’s shareholders; costs of stationery; website costs; costs of meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, meetings of shareholders and other meetings of the Fund; Board fees; audit fees; travel expenses of officers, members of the Board and employees of the Fund, if any; and the Fund’s pro rata portion of premiums on any fidelity bond and other insurance covering the Fund and its officers, Board members and employees; litigation expenses and any non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including, without limitation, those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund’s Board members and officers with respect thereto.

6. No member of the Board, officer or employee of the [Trust/Corporation] or Fund shall receive from the [Trust/Corporation] or Fund any salary or other compensation as such member of the Board, officer or employee while he is at the same time a director, officer, or employee of the Manager or any affiliated company of the Manager, except as the Board may decide. This paragraph shall not apply to Board members, executive committee members, consultants and other persons who are not regular members of the Manager’s or any affiliated company’s staff.

7. As compensation for the services performed and the facilities furnished and expenses assumed by the Manager, including the services of any consultants retained by the Manager, the Fund shall pay the Manager, as promptly as possible after the last day of each month, a fee, computed daily at an annual rate set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Schedule A annexed hereto, provided however, that if the Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in another registered investment company for which the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as investment adviser or investment manager, the annual fee computed as set forth on such Schedule A shall be reduced by the aggregate management fees allocated to that Fund for the Fund’s then-current fiscal year from such other registered investment company. The first payment of the fee shall be made as promptly as possible at the end of the month succeeding the effective date of this Agreement, and shall constitute a full payment of the fee due the Manager for all services prior to that date. If this Agreement is terminated as of any date not the last day of a month, such fee shall be paid as promptly as possible after such date of termination, shall be based on the average daily net assets of the Fund in that period from the beginning of such month to such date of termination, and shall be that proportion of such average daily net assets as the number of business days in such period bears to the number of business days in such month. The average daily net assets of the Fund shall in all cases be based only on business days and be computed as of the time of the regular close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, or such other time as may be determined by the Board.

8. The Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder, in good faith, and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall protect the Manager against any liability to the Fund to which the Manager would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in this Section 8, the term “Manager” shall include any affiliates of the Manager performing services for the [Trust/Corporation] or the Fund contemplated hereby and the partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the Manager and such affiliates.

9. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Manager who may also be a Board member, officer, or employee of the [Trust/Corporation] or the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote his time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of the Manager to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. If the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Manager is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Manager. Such transactions may be combined, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and consistent with the Manager’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

R-3

10. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Fund’s “net assets” shall be determined as provided in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and the terms “assignment,” “interested person,” and “majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings given to them by Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.

11. This Agreement will become effective with respect to the Fund on the date set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Schedule A annexed hereto, provided that it shall have been approved by the [Trust/Corporation]’s Board and by the shareholders of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect for an initial two year term. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Fund, so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board members who are not interested persons of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

12. This Agreement is terminable with respect to the Fund without penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, in each case on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Manager, or by the Manager upon not less than 90 days’ written notice to the Fund, and will be terminated upon the mutual written consent of the Manager and the [Trust/Corporation]. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by the Manager and shall not be assignable by the [Trust/Corporation] without the consent of the Manager.

13. The Manager agrees that for services rendered to the Fund, or for any claim by it in connection with services rendered to the Fund, it shall look only to assets of the Fund for satisfaction and that it shall have no claim against the assets of any other portfolios of the Trust.

14. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and no material amendment of the Agreement shall be effective until approved, if so required by the 1940 Act, by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

15. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

16. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

17. [For Trusts only]. The undersigned officer of the Trust has executed this Agreement not individually, but as an officer under the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trust individually.

Form of Subadvisory Agreement

This SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this [    ] day of [    ], [    ], by and between Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), and [Subadviser], a [insert state and form of organization] (the “Subadviser”).

WHEREAS, the Manager has been retained by [Insert] (the “[Trust/Corporation]”), a registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) to provide investment advisory, management, and administrative services to the [Trust/Corporation] [with respect to certain series of the [Trust/Corporation]]; and

WHEREAS, the Manager wishes to engage the Subadviser to provide certain investment advisory services to the [Trust/Corporation] [with respect to the series of the [Trust/Corporation] designated in Schedule A annexed hereto] (the “Fund”) and Subadviser is willing to furnish such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. In accordance with and subject to the Management Agreement between the [Trust/Corporation] and the Manager with respect to the Fund (the “Management Agreement”), the Manager hereby appoints the Subadviser to act as Subadviser with respect to the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Subadviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

2. The Manager shall cause the Subadviser to be kept fully informed at all times with regard to the securities owned by the Fund, its funds available, or to become available, for investment, and generally as to the condition of the Fund’s affairs. Manager shall furnish the Subadviser with such other documents and information with regard to the Fund’s affairs as the Subadviser may from time to time reasonably request.

3. (a) Subject to the supervision of the [Trust/Corporation]’s Board of [Trustees/Directors] (the “Board”) and the Manager, the Subadviser shall regularly provide the Fund with respect to such portion of the Fund’s assets as shall be allocated to the Subadviser by the Manager from time to time (the “Allocated Assets”) with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Allocated Assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Subadviser shall, with respect to the Allocated Assets, determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the Allocated Assets will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the [Trust/Corporation]’s [Declaration of Trust/Articles of Incorporation] and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Subadviser. The Subadviser is authorized as the agent of the [Trust/Corporation] to give instructions with respect to the Allocated Assets to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of a Fund in one or more investment companies. The Subadviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the

U-1

Subadviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Subadviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein. The Subadviser shall exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to the Allocated Assets subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and shall perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board.

(b) The Fund hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Subadviser which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Fund hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subadviser agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with members of the Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of a Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Subadviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Subadviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time, and will comply with all other provisions of the Governing Documents and the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relative to the Subadviser and its directors and officers.

4. The Subadviser may delegate to any other one or more companies that the Subadviser controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, or to specified employees of any such companies, certain of the Subadviser’s duties under this Agreement, provided in each case the Subadviser will supervise the activities of each such entity or employees thereof, that such delegation will not relieve the Subadviser of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement and provided further that any such arrangements are entered into in accordance with all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

5. The Subadviser agrees that it will keep records relating to its services hereunder in accordance with all applicable laws, and in compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Subadviser hereby agrees that any records that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund’s request. The Subadviser further agrees to arrange for the preservation of the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.

6. (a) The Subadviser, at its expense, shall supply the Board, the officers of the [Trust/Corporation], and the Manager with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Subadviser relating to the services provided by the Subadviser hereunder.

(b) The Subadviser shall bear all expenses, and shall furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel, in connection with its responsibilities under this Agreement. Other than as herein specifically indicated, the Subadviser shall not be responsible for the Fund’s expenses, including, without limitation, advisory fees; distribution fees; interest; taxes; governmental fees; voluntary assessments and other expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; organization costs of the Fund; the cost (including brokerage commissions, transaction fees or charges, if any) in connection with the purchase or sale of the Fund’s securities and other investments and any losses in connection therewith; fees and expenses of custodians, transfer agents, registrars, independent pricing vendors or other agents; legal expenses; loan commitment fees; expenses relating to share certificates; expenses relating to the issuing and redemption or repurchase of the Fund’s shares and servicing shareholder accounts; expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund’s shares for sale under applicable federal and state law; expenses of preparing, setting in print, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and any supplements thereto, reports, proxy statements, notices and dividends to the Fund’s shareholders; costs of stationery; website costs; costs of meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, meetings of shareholders and other meetings of the Fund; Board fees; audit fees; travel expenses of officers, members of the Board and employees of the Fund, if any; and the Fund’s pro rata portion of premiums on any fidelity bond and other insurance covering the Fund and its officers, Board members and employees; litigation expenses and any non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including, without limitation, those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund’s Board members and officers with respect thereto.

7. No member of the Board, officer or employee of the [Trust/Corporation] or Fund shall receive from the [Trust/Corporation] or Fund any salary or other compensation as such member of the Board, officer or employee while he is at the same time a director, officer, or employee of the Subadviser or any affiliated company of the Subadviser, except as the Board

U-2

may decide. This paragraph shall not apply to Board members, executive committee members, consultants and other persons who are not regular members of the Subadviser’s or any affiliated company’s staff.

8. As compensation for the services performed by the Subadviser, including the services of any consultants retained by the Subadviser, the Manager shall pay the Subadviser out of the management fee it receives with respect to the Fund, and only to the extent thereof, as promptly as possible after the last day of each month, a fee, computed daily at an annual rate set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto. The first payment of the fee shall be made as promptly as possible at the end of the month succeeding the effective date of this Agreement, and shall constitute a full payment of the fee due the Subadviser for all services prior to that date. If this Agreement is terminated as of any date not the last day of a month, such fee shall be paid as promptly as possible after such date of termination, shall be based on the average daily net assets of the Fund or, if less, the portion thereof comprising the Allocated Assets in that period from the beginning of such month to such date of termination, and shall be that proportion of such average daily net assets as the number of business days in such period bears to the number of business days in such month. The average daily net assets of the Fund or the portion thereof comprising the Allocated Assets shall in all cases be based only on business days and be computed as of the time of the regular close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, or such other time as may be determined by the Board.

9. The Subadviser assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder, in good faith, and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall protect the Subadviser against any liability to the Manager or the Fund to which the Subadviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in this Section 9, the term “Subadviser” shall include any affiliates of the Subadviser performing services for the [Trust/Corporation] or the Fund contemplated hereby and the partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the Subadviser and such affiliates.

10. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Subadviser who may also be a Board member, officer, or employee of the [Trust/Corporation] or the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote his time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of the Subadviser to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. If the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Subadviser is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Subadviser. Such transactions may be combined, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and consistent with the Subadviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

11. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Fund’s “net assets” shall be determined as provided in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and the terms “assignment,” “interested person,” and “majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings given to them by Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.

12. This Agreement will become effective with respect to the Fund on the date set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Schedule A annexed hereto, provided that it shall have been approved by the [Trust/Corporation]’s Board and, if so required by the 1940 Act, by the shareholders of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect [for 2a-6 agreements:through November 30, 2007/for agreements for which the Fund will proxy:for an initial 2 year term]. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Fund, so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board members who are not interested persons of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

13. This Agreement is terminable with respect to the Fund without penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, in each case on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Subadviser, or by the Subadviser upon not less than 90 days’ written notice to the Fund and the Manager, and will be terminated upon the mutual written consent of the Manager and the Subadviser. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by the Subadviser and shall not be assignable by the Manager without the consent of the Subadviser.

14. The Subadviser agrees that for any claim by it against the Fund in connection with this Agreement or the services rendered under this Agreement, it shall look only to assets of the Fund for satisfaction and that it shall have no claim against the assets of any other portfolios of the [Trust/Corporation].

15. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and no material amendment of the Agreement shall be effective until approved, if so required by the 1940 Act, by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

16. This Agreement, and any supplemental terms contained on Annex I hereto, if applicable, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

17. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
