Exhibit 99(4)(n)
AMENDED SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Agreement dated as of October 4, 1999, as amended February 1, 2004, between
UBS GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT (US) INC. ("UBS Global AM"), a Delaware corporation
("UBS Global AM"), and ARIEL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, an Illinois corporation
("Sub-Adviser") (the "Agreement").
RECITALS
(1) UBS Global AM has entered into a Management Agreement dated June
15, 1995 ("Management Agreement") with UBS PACE Select Advisors Trust (formerly
known as Managed Accounts Services Portfolio Trust ("Trust")), an open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), with respect to the UBS PACE SMALL/MEDIUM CO
VALUE EQUITY INVESTMENTS ("Portfolio");
(2) UBS Global AM desires to retain the Sub-Adviser to furnish certain
investment advisory services to UBS Global AM and the Portfolio or a designated
portion of the assets ("Segment") of the Portfolio; and
(3) The Sub-Adviser is willing to furnish such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. UBS Global AM hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser as an
investment Sub-Adviser with respect to Portfolio or Segment for the period and
on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser accepts that
appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the
compensation herein provided.
2. DUTIES AS SUB-ADVISER.
(a) Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust's Board of
Trustees (the "Board") and review by UBS Global AM, and any written guidelines
adopted by the Board or UBS Global AM, the Sub-Adviser will provide a continuous
investment program for the Portfolio or Segment, including investment research
and discretionary management with respect to all securities and investments and
cash equivalents in the Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser will determine
from time to time what investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the
Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible for placing purchase
and sell orders for investments and for other related transactions for the
Portfolio or Segment. The Sub-Adviser understands that the Portfolio's assets
need to be managed so as to permit the Portfolio to qualify or to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended ("Code"). The Sub-Adviser will provide services under
this Agreement in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective, policies
and restrictions as stated in the Trust's currently
effective registration statement under the 1940 Act, and any amendments or
supplements thereto ("Registration Statement").
(b) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not consult with any other
Sub-Adviser ("Other Sub-Adviser") for the Trust or Portfolio concerning any
transaction by the Portfolio or Segment in securities or other assets, including
(i) the purchase by the Portfolio or Segment of a security issued by the Other
Sub-Adviser, or an affiliate of the Other Sub-Adviser, to the Trust or Portfolio
except as permitted by the 1940 Act or (ii) transactions by the Portfolio or
Segment in any security for which the Other Sub-Adviser, or its affiliate, is
the principal underwriter.
(c) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will be responsible for voting
proxies of issuers of securities held by the Portfolio or Segment. The
Sub-Adviser further agrees that it will adopt written proxy voting procedures
that shall comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, and that shall be acceptable to the Board. The Sub-Adviser
further agrees that it will provide the Board on or before August 1st of each
year, or more frequently as the Board may reasonably request, with a written
report of the proxies voted during the most recent 12-month period ending June
30, or such other period as the Board may designate, in a format that shall
comply with the 1940 Act and that shall be acceptable to the Board.
(d) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it will
obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution; provided that, on
behalf of the Portfolio or Segment, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, use
brokers who provide the Sub-Adviser with research, analysis, advice and similar
services to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Portfolio or
Segment, and the Sub-Adviser may pay to those brokers in return for brokerage
and research services a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers,
subject to the Sub-Adviser's determining in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall
responsibility of the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio or Segment and its other
clients and that the total commissions paid by the Portfolio or Segment will be
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio over the long term. In
no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to UBS Global AM
or the Sub-Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with
the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The
Sub-Adviser may aggregate sales and purchase orders of the assets of the
Portfolio or Segment with similar orders being made simultaneously for other
accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates. Whenever the Sub-Adviser
simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same security on behalf of
the Portfolio or Segment and one or more other accounts advised by the
Sub-Adviser, the orders will be allocated as to price and amount among all such
accounts in a manner believed to be equitable over time to each account. UBS
Global AM recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the
results obtained for the Portfolio or Segment.
Subject to the Sub-Adviser's obligations to seek best execution, UBS
Global AM agrees that the Sub-Adviser, in its sole discretion, may place
transactions on behalf of the Portfolio and the Trust or with any broker-dealer
deemed to be an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser (the "Affiliated Broker-Dealers")
so long as such transactions are effected in conformity with the requirements
(including any applicable exemptions and administrative interpretations set
forth in Part II of the Sub-Adviser's Form ADV Registration Statement on file
with the Securities and
2
Exchange Commission ("Form ADV")) of Section 11(a)(1)(H) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. In all such dealings, the Affiliated Broker-Dealers shall
be authorized and entitled to retain any commissions, remuneration or profits
which may be made in such transactions and shall not be liable to account for
the same to UBS Global AM, the Portfolio or the Trust.
UBS Global AM further authorizes the Sub-Adviser and its Affiliated
Broker-Dealers to execute agency cross transactions (the "Cross Transactions")
on behalf of the Portfolio and the Trust. Cross Transactions are transactions
which may be effected by the Affiliated Broker-Dealers acting for both the
Portfolio or the Trust and the counterparty to the transaction. Cross
Transactions enable the Sub-Adviser to purchase or sell a block of securities
for the Portfolio or the Trust at a set price and possibly avoid an unfavorable
price movement that may be created through entrance into the market with such
purchase or sale order. As such, the Sub-Adviser believes that Cross
Transactions can provide meaningful benefits for the Portfolio and the Trust and
its clients generally. UBS Global AM, the Portfolio and the Trust should be
aware, however, that in a Cross Transaction an Affiliated Broker-Dealer will be
receiving commissions from both sides of the trade and, therefore, there is a
potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities.
(e) The Sub-Adviser will maintain all books and records required to be
maintained pursuant to Rule 31a-1(b)(2)(ii), (3), (5), (6), (7), (9) and 10
under the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with
respect to transactions by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Portfolio or
Segment, and will furnish the Board and UBS Global AM with such periodic and
special reports as the Board or UBS Global AM reasonably may request. In
compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the
Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records that it maintains for the Portfolio
or Segment are the property of the Trust, agrees to preserve for the periods
prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it maintains for
the Portfolio or Segment and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1
under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any
records that it maintains for the Portfolio or Segment upon request by the
Trust.
(f) At such times as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or UBS
Global AM, the Sub-Adviser will provide the Board and UBS Global AM with
economic and investment analyses and reports as well as quarterly reports
setting forth the performance of the Portfolio or Segment and make available to
the Board and UBS Global AM any economic, statistical and investment services
that the Sub-Adviser normally makes available to its institutional or other
customers.
(g) In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, as amended from
time to time, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for assisting in the fair valuation
of all portfolio securities and will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for
the provision of a price(s) from one or more parties independent of the
Sub-Adviser for each portfolio security for which the custodian does not obtain
prices in the ordinary course of business from an automated pricing service.
3. FURTHER DUTIES. In all matters relating to the performance of this
Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will act in conformity with the Trust's Trust
Instrument, By-Laws and Registration Statement and with the written instructions
and written directions of the Board and UBS Global
3
AM; and will comply with the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers Act"), and the rules
under each, the Code, and all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations applicable to the Trust and the Portfolio. UBS Global AM agrees to
provide to the Sub-Adviser copies of the Trust's Trust Instrument, By-Laws,
Registration Statement, written instructions and directions of the Board and UBS
Global AM, and any amendments or supplements to any of these materials as soon
as practicable after such materials become available; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Sub-Adviser's duty under this Agreement to act in conformity with any
document, instruction or guideline produced by the Trust or UBS Global AM shall
not arise until it has been delivered to the Sub-Adviser. Any changes to the
objectives, policies and restrictions will make due allowance for the time
within which the Sub-Adviser shall have to come into compliance.
4. EXPENSES. During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will
bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with its services under this
Agreement. The Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for any expenses incurred by
the Trust, the Portfolio or UBS Global AM.
5. COMPENSATION.
(a) For the services provided and the expenses assumed by the
Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement, UBS Global AM, not the Portfolio, will
pay to the Sub-Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual
rate of .30% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets of the Portfolio or
Segment (computed in the manner specified in the Management Agreement), and will
provide the Sub-Adviser with a schedule showing the manner in which the fee was
computed. If the Sub-Adviser is managing a Segment, its fees will be based on
the value of the assets of the Portfolio within the Sub-Adviser's Segment.
(b) The fee shall be computed daily and payable monthly to the
Sub-Adviser on or before the last business day of the next succeeding calendar
month.
(c) For those periods in which UBS Global AM has agreed to waive all or
a portion of its management fee, UBS Global AM may ask the Sub-Adviser to waive
the same proportion of its fees, but the Sub-Adviser is under no obligation to
do so.
(d) If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of
any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of the
month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the
case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Portfolio,
the Trust or its shareholders or by UBS Global AM in connection with the matters
to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its
duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed a limitation or waiver of
any obligation or duty that may not by law be limited or waived.
4
7. REPRESENTATIONS OF SUB-ADVISER. The Sub-Adviser represents, warrants
and agrees as follows:
(a) The Sub-Adviser (i) is registered as an investment adviser under the
Advisers Act and will continue to be so registered for so long as this Agreement
remains in effect; (ii) is not prohibited by the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act
from performing the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) has met, and

be met in order to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) has
the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this
Agreement; and (v) will promptly notify UBS Global AM of the occurrence of any

otherwise.
(b) The Sub-Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics complying with
the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and will provide UBS Global AM
and the Board with a copy of such code of ethics, together with evidence of its
adoption. Within fifteen days of the end of the last calendar quarter of each
year that this Agreement is in effect, a duly authorized officer of the
Sub-Adviser shall certify to UBS Global AM that the Sub-Adviser has complied
with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 during the previous year and that there has
been no material violation of the Sub-Adviser's code of ethics or, if such a
violation has occurred, that appropriate action was taken in response to such
violation. Upon the written request of UBS Global AM, the Sub-Adviser shall
permit UBS Global AM, its employees or its agents to examine the reports
required to be made to the Sub-Adviser by Rule 17j-1(c)(1) and all other records
relevant to the Sub-Adviser's code of ethics.
(c) The Sub-Adviser has provided UBS Global AM with a copy of its Form
ADV as most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
and promptly will furnish a copy of all amendments to UBS Global AM at least
annually.
(d) The Sub-Adviser will notify UBS Global AM of any change of control
of the Sub-Adviser, including any change of its general partners or 25%
shareholders or 25% limited partners, as applicable, and any changes in the key
personnel who are either the portfolio manager(s) of the Portfolio or senior
management of the Sub-Adviser, in each case prior to or promptly after such
change.
(e) The Sub-Adviser agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates
will in any way refer directly or indirectly to its relationship with the Trust,
the Portfolio, UBS Global AM or any of their respective affiliates in offering,
marketing or other promotional materials without the express written consent of
UBS Global AM.
8. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The Sub-Adviser may act as an investment
adviser to any other person, firm or corporation, and may perform management and
any other services for any other person, association, corporation, firm or other
entity pursuant to any contract or otherwise,
5
and take any action or do anything in connection therewith or related thereto,
except as prohibited by applicable law; and no such performance of management or
other services or taking of any such action or doing of any such thing shall be
in any manner restricted or otherwise affected by any aspect of any relationship
of the Sub-Adviser to or with the Trust, Portfolio or UBS Global AM or deemed to
violate or give rise to any duty or obligation of the Sub-Adviser to the Trust,
Portfolio or UBS Global AM except as otherwise imposed by law or by this
Agreement.
9. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the date first above
written, provided that this Agreement shall not take effect unless it has first

("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the Portfolio's
outstanding voting securities.
(b) Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall
continue in effect for two years from its effective date. Thereafter, if not

in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and
(ii) by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Portfolio.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated at
any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of the Board or by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on 60 days'
written notice to the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated,
without the payment of any penalty, by UBS Global AM: (i) upon 120 days' written
notice to the Sub-Adviser; (ii) immediately upon material breach by the
Sub-Adviser of any of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth
in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement; or (iii) immediately if, in the reasonable
judgment of UBS Global AM, the Sub-Adviser becomes unable to discharge its
duties and obligations under this Agreement, including circumstances such as
financial insolvency of the Sub-Adviser or other circumstances that could
adversely affect the Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser may terminate this Agreement at
any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 120 days' written notice to UBS
Global AM. This Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment or upon termination of the Management Agreement.
10. AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. 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. No amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective until approved (i) by a vote of a majority of the Independent
Trustees, and (ii) if the terms of this Agreement shall have changed, by a vote
of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities (except in the
case of (ii), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SEC order permitting
it to modify the Agreement without such vote).

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the 1940 Act and the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof. To the extent that the applicable laws of
the State of New York conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act,
the latter shall control.
12. MISCELLANEOUS. The captions in this Agreement are included for
