UBS MONEY SERIES
(applicable to
Investor Series)
UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (the "Firm"), as principal underwriter to UBS Money Series and its series listed in Exhibit A appended hereto (the "Funds"), and the counterparty named below (the "Financial Intermediary") wish to enter into an amended and restated agreement ("Agreement") pursuant to which the Financial Intermediary will provide services to certain shareholders of, and administer certain shareholder accounts in, shares of the Funds ("Shares").
In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed by and between the Firm and the Financial Intermediary as follows:
Section 1. Services to Be Provided. The Financial Intermediary will provide shareholder and administrative services for its customers ("Customers") who own Shares. Such services may include, without limitation: (i) assisting Customers in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (ii) aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from Customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with the Firm; (iii) transmitting and receiving funds in connection with Customer orders to purchase and redeem Shares; (iv) processing dividend payments on behalf of Customers; (v) providing information periodically to Customers showing their position in Shares; (vi) arranging for bank wires; (vii) responding to Customer inquiries regarding account status and history, the manner in which purchases and redemptions of Shares may be made and other matters pertaining to the Shares; (viii) providing sub-accounting with respect to Shares beneficially owned by Customers or the information to the Trust necessary for sub-accounting; (ix) forwarding shareholder communications from the Trust (for example, proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements and dividend, distribution and tax notices) to Customers; (x) providing necessary personnel and facilities to establish and maintain shareholder accounts and records; and (xi) such other similar services as the Firm or a Customer may reasonably request from time to time to the extent the Financial Intermediary is permitted to perform such services under Federal and state statutes, rules and regulations.
Section 2. Financial Intermediary as Agent for Its Customers. The Financial Intermediary agrees that, in all activities covered by this Agreement, the Financial Intermediary will act as agent for its customers; it is not authorized to act as agent for the Firm or the Trust. This Agreement shall not make either party the legal representative of the other, nor shall either party have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of or on behalf of the other party.
Section 3. Information Concerning the Trust and the Shares. The Financial Intermediary agrees that neither it nor any of its employees or agents are authorized to make any representation concerning the Shares or the Trust, except those contained in the then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the Trust, copies of which will be supplied by the Firm in reasonable quantities upon request, or in other material approved in writing by the Firm.
Section 4. Compensation. The Firm will pay the Financial Intermediary an annual fee (the "Service Payment") for its services in connection with the Shares beneficially owned by its Customers. The Service Payment will be calculated daily and paid monthly by the Firm, and will not exceed the annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Shares held by the Financial Intermediary for its Customers. For purposes of calculating the fee payable to the Financial Intermediary, the average daily net asset value of the Shares will be calculated in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Trust's then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Financial Intermediary agrees that no trustee, officer or shareholder of the Trust (or any of its series) shall be liable for the performance of the Firm's obligations hereunder or for the Service Payment.
Section 5. Right to Suspend Sales. The Firm and the Trust reserve the right, at their discretion, to suspend the sale of Shares of the Trust or withdraw the Shares from sale.
Section 6. Other Duties of the Financial Intermediary.
(a) The Financial Intermediary agrees to provide the Firm and the Trust such information relating to its services hereunder as may be required to be maintained by the Firm and the Trust under applicable regulatory and self-regulatory agencies or authorities, and to cooperate with the Firm in providing information to the Trust and its Board of Trustees with respect to amounts expended and services provided under this Agreement.
(b) In the event an issue pertaining to the Shares is submitted for shareholder approval, the Financial Intermediary will vote any Shares of a series held for its own account, or over which it otherwise has discretion to vote, in the same proportions as the votes cast by those Shares of the same series held for its Customer's accounts for which instructions have been received from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote.
Section 7. Representations of Financial Intermediary.
(a) The Financial Intermediary represents and warrants that to the extent required by law, its Customers are aware of and have agreed to the arrangements provided for in this Agreement and that the compensation payable to the Financial Intermediary hereunder, together with any other compensation payable to the Financial Intermediary in connection with the investment of their assets in the Shares, will be properly disclosed by the Financial Intermediary to its Customers and authorized by them.

(b) The Financial Intermediary represents and warrants that, in providing services hereunder, it will act in accordance with Federal and state law, and rules and regulations thereunder, applicable to it and its Customer's accounts.
Section 8. Customer Lists. Each party agrees that it (and/or its affiliates) will not use any list of customers of the other party that may be obtained in connection with this Agreement for the purpose of solicitation of any product or service without the express written consent of the other party. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict either party (or its affiliates) in any way from solicitations of any product or service directed at, without limitation, the general public, any segment thereof, or any specific individual, provided such solicitation is not based upon such list.
Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) The Financial Intermediary will indemnify and hold the Firm and the Trust harmless from any claim, demand, loss, expense or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards, of the Financial Intermediary, its agents or employees, in carrying out the Financial Intermediary's obligations under this Agreement. Such indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Firm will indemnify and hold the Financial Intermediary harmless from any claim, loss, expense or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards, of the Firm, its agents or employees, in carrying out the Firm's obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement will continue in effect for one year from its Effective Date, and thereafter will continue automatically for successive annual periods; provided, however, that the Agreement is subject to termination as provided below in the event the Shareholder Services Plan applicable to the Trust is terminated in accordance with its terms.
