Contract made as of April 13, 1995, between PAINEWEBBER INCORPORATED

WHEREAS PaineWebber has entered into an Investment Advisory and

PaineWebber/Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Municipal Money Market Series ("Fund"), an
open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which offers for public sale distinct series
of shares of beneficial interest ("Series"), each corresponding to a
distinct portfolio; and
WHEREAS under the Advisory Contract PaineWebber has agreed to provide
certain investment advisory and administrative services to the Series as
now exist and as hereafter may be established; and
WHEREAS the Advisory Contract authorizes PaineWebber to delegate
certain of its duties as investment adviser and administrator under the
Advisory Contract to a sub-adviser or sub-administrator; and
WHEREAS PaineWebber wishes to retain Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx as sub-adviser
and sub-administrator to provide certain investment advisory and
administrative services to PaineWebber and each Series of the Fund as
listed in Schedule A to this agreement, as such schedule may be revised
from time to time, and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx is willing to render such services
as described herein upon the terms set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Appointment. PaineWebber hereby appoints Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx as
-----------
its sub-adviser and sub-administrator with respect to each Series and
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx accepts such appointment and agrees that it will furnish
the services set forth in Paragraph 2.
2. Services and Duties of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx.
----------------------------------------
(a) Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees ("Board") and
PaineWebber, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will provide a continuous investment program
for each Series, including investment research and management with respect
to all securities, investments and cash equivalents held in the portfolio
of each Series. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will determine from time to time what
investments will be purchased, retained or sold by each Series. Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx will be responsible for placing purchase and sale orders for
investments and for other related transactions. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will
provide services under this agreement in accordance with the Series'
investment objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the Series'
Prospectuses.
(b) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it
will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution;
provided that, on behalf of any Series, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx may, in its
discretion, effect securities transactions with brokers and dealers who
provide the Series with research, analysis, advice and similar services,
and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx may pay to those brokers and dealers, in return for
brokerage and research services and analysis, a higher commission than may
be charged by other brokers and dealers, subject to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx'
determining in good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms
either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and its affiliates to such Series and its other clients
and that the total commissions paid by such Series will be reasonable in
relation to the benefits to such Series over the long term. In no instance
will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to PaineWebber,
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance
with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder,
or any applicable exemptive orders. Whenever Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on
behalf of a Series and one or more other accounts advised by Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all
such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account. The
Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the
results obtained for a Series.
(c) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will oversee the maintenance of all books and
records with respect to the securities transactions of each Series and will
furnish the Board with such periodic and special reports as PaineWebber or
the Board reasonably may request. In compliance with the requirements of
Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees that all
records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund,
agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940
- 2 -
Act any records which it maintains for the Fund and which are required to
be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to
surrender promptly to the Fund any records which it maintains for the Fund
upon request by the Fund.
(d) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will oversee the computation of the net asset
value and net income of each Series as described in the currently effective
registration statement of the Fund under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and 1940 Act and any supplements thereto ("Registration
Statement") or as more frequently requested by the Board.
(e) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will assist in administering the affairs of the
Fund and each Series, subject to the supervision of the Board and
PaineWebber, and further subject to the following understandings:
(i) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will supervise all aspects of the operation
of the Fund and each Series except as hereinafter set forth; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve or
deprive the Board of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of
affairs of the Fund and each Series.
(ii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will provide the Fund and each Series with
such administrative and clerical personnel (including officers of the Fund)
as are reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the Board and
PaineWebber and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will pay the salaries of all such
personnel.
(iii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will provide the Fund and each Series
with such administrative and clerical services as are reasonably deemed
necessary or advisable by the Board and PaineWebber, including the
maintenance of certain of the books and records of the Fund and each

periodic preparation, updating, filing and dissemination (as applicable) of
the Fund's Registration Statement, proxy material, tax returns and reports
to shareholders of each Series, the Securities and Exchange Commission and
other appropriate federal or state regulatory authorities.
(v) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will provide the Fund and each Series with,
or obtain for it, adequate office space and all necessary office equipment
and services, including telephone service, heat, utilities, stationery
supplies and similar items.

this Contract, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx will act in conformity with the Fund's

and will comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act"), the rules thereunder, and all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
5. Services Not Exclusive. The services furnished by Xxxxxxxx

shall be free to furnish similar services to others so long as its services
under this Contract are not impaired thereby. Nothing in this Contract
shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer or employee of
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, who may also be a trustee, officer or employee of the

its obligations and duties under this Contract. Any person, even though
also an officer, director, employee, or agent of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, who may
be or become an officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Fund shall be
deemed, when rendering services to any Series of the Fund or acting with
respect to any business of such Series or the Fund, to be rendering such
services to or acting solely for the Series or the Fund and not as an
officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction
of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx even though paid by it.
