Management  Business Trust (the "Manager"),  agrees that in order to improve the
performance   of  Delaware   Global  Real  Estate   Securities   Portfolio  (the
"Portfolio"),  which is a series of Delaware  Pooled  Trust,  the Manager  shall
waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses
(excluding any 12b-1 plan expenses,  taxes,  interest,  inverse  floater program
expenses,  brokerage fees,  short-sale  dividend and interest expenses,  certain
insurance costs and non-routine expenses or costs, including but not limited to,
those relating to reorganizations,  litigation,  conducting shareholder meetings

entitled to collect on, or make a claim for,  reimbursed  Portfolio  expenses at
any time in the future.
