Broker:_________________________________
Gentlemen:
We offer to make available to your customers, through you acting as broker
or agent on behalf of such customers, Institutional Class Shares (the "Shares")
of the Portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., UAM Funds, Inc. II and of UAM Funds Trust
(each Portfolio is referred to herein as the "Fund") with respect to which we
have been retained to act as exclusive national distributor and which are
offered for sale pursuant to currently effective federal Prospectuses describing
such Shares.
CUSTOMERS:
----------
The customers whom you assist in purchasing, or for whom you purchase,
Shares are for all purposes your customers and not our customers. Subject to
the further provisions of this Agreement, the applicable provisions of the
Prospectuses for the Shares, federal and state securities laws and the rules of
the NASD, we may sell Shares to your customers through you and upon your order.
OFFERING PRICE TO PUBLIC:
-------------------------
Orders for Shares received from you and accepted by the Fund, will be at
the public offering price applicable to each order as set forth in that Fund's
Prospectus relating to such Shares. The manner of computing the net asset value
of Shares, the public offering price and the effective time of orders received
from you are described in the Prospectuses for the Shares. We reserve the
right, at any time and without notice, to suspend the sale of Fund Shares.
SALES, ORDERS AND CONFIRMATIONS:
--------------------------------
In purchasing Fund Shares for customers or otherwise, you shall not act as
dealer for your own account, and in no transaction shall you have any authority
to act as agent for the Fund, for any other selected dealer or for us. No
person is authorized to make any representation concerning the Shares or any
Fund except those contained in the relevant and current Prospectus and in
written information issued by the Fund or by us as a supplement to such
Prospectus. In purchasing Fund Shares, you shall rely solely on such
representations contained in the Prospectus and in such written supplemental
information.
All sales are made subject to confirmation and orders are subject to
acceptance or rejection by the Fund in its sole discretion. Your orders must be
wired, telephoned or written to the Fund as provided in the relevant and current
Prospectus. You agree to place orders solely upon receipt of orders for the
same number of Shares and at the same price from your customers and for your
customers' accounts, and that you will not otherwise purchase Shares
1
except for investment. You will not, as principal, purchase or sell Fund Shares,
but will act solely as agent for your customers in all transactions initiated by
you, and as between you and your customers, your customers will be the
beneficial owners of the Shares. Each of your orders shall be confirmed by you
in writing on the same day. The procedures relating to the handling of orders
shall be subject to such further instructions as we may issue from time to time.
PAYMENT AND ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES:
-------------------------------------
The Shares purchased by you on behalf of your customers hereunder shall be
paid for in full at the public offering price, by check payable to the Fund, at
its office, within three business days after our acceptance of your order. If
not so paid, we reserve the right to cancel the sale and to hold you responsible
for any loss sustained by us or the Fund (including lost profit) in consequence.
Certificates representing the Shares will not be issued.
REDEMPTIONS:
------------
The relevant Prospectus describes the provisions whereby a Fund, under all
ordinary circumstances, will redeem Shares held by shareholders on demand. You
agree that you will not make any representations to shareholders relating to the
redemption of their Shares other than the statements contained in the relevant
and current Prospectus, and the underlying organizational documents of the Fund,
to which it refers, and that you will quote as the redemption price only the
price determined by the Fund.
SERVICE FEES:
-------------
We expect you to provide services and assistance (the "Services") to your
customers who own Fund Shares, including but not limited to, answering routine
inquiries regarding the Shares or a Fund or the status of a customer's account
and providing information to customers relating to maintaining their investment
in the Fund. Certain of the managers (the "Managers") of the Funds may, from
time to time, determine to provide additional support for the distribution and
marketing of, and/or the provision of services to the holders of, the Shares in
the form of payments or additional payments to selected broker-dealers who enter
into Services Agreements with us. Accordingly, for your Services in respect of
Shares of any Fund the Manager of which has determined to provide such
additional support and has adopted a Supplemental Plan (a "Supplemental Plan"),
you will receive a supplemental fee (the "Supplemental Fees"), as established by
each particular Manager from time to time, subject to the further provisions of
this Agreement, the terms of the then current and applicable Prospectus relating
to such Shares and the instructions received by us from such Manager. The
Supplemental Fees, if any, in respect of Shares of a particular Fund may be
based on such factors as initial and/or current purchase prices or net asset
values of such Shares acquired by or held in the accounts of your customers or
certain customers and the periods for which such shares have been held and may
be subject to such other minimums as may be established by the Managers or by us
from time to time. Such Supplemental Fees shall be at the rates of which shall
be as provided in the schedule of fees set forth in Appendix A attached hereto,
as the same may be amended by us at any time and from time to time by notice
thereof to you; provided, however, that in no event shall any such fees be in
excess of the current rates set forth in any form of subsequent notice furnished
to you by us or on our behalf, or by the Manager or the Fund.
We reserve the right, at any time, without notice, to modify, suspend or
terminate payments hereunder, or any component of such payments, either with
respect to one or more Funds or classes of Shares or generally with respect to
the Funds and the Shares; and the payment of Supplemental Fees hereunder shall
be automatically suspended or terminated if and to the extent that payments from
the relevant Manager are suspended or terminated, or automatically reduced if
and to the extent that the corresponding rates of payments to be made from the
relevant Manager are reduced. Any such action may be for any reason whatsoever
or no reason at all; and you agree that you shall not be entitled to any
payments for any period after the effective date of any such suspension or
termination, nor shall you be entitled to any payments after the effective date
of any such modification or reduction except as may be calculated pursuant to a
modified or reduced schedule of fees substituted for the previously effective
schedule.
You understand and agree that we merely administer and forward payments
pursuant to the Supplemental Plans of the Managers and that we shall have no
liability to you for such payments. Accordingly, you agree that
2
anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding (i) we shall have no liability
to you, and you shall have no recourse whatsoever against us or our assets, for
any payment for which provision is made in this Agreement, and (ii) your sole
recourse, if any, in respect of any such payment for which provision is made in
this Agreement shall be against the respective Fund or Manager, as the case may
be.

the terms hereof is conditioned on your representations to us that, as of the
date of this Agreement (i) you are, and at all times during its effectiveness

1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and a member in good standing of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), or that the 1934 Act does
not require you to be so registered and such a member; and (ii) you are, and at
all times during its effectiveness you will be, qualified under applicable state
securities laws in each jurisdiction in which the actions contemplated to be
taken by you under this Agreement require you to be qualified to act as a dealer
in securities. You agree to notify us promptly in writing and immediately
suspend sales of Shares if this representation ceases to be true. You also
agree that you will comply with the rules of the NASD including, in particular,
Sections 2, 21(c) and 26 of Article III of its Rules of Fair Practice, as
amended, or, if you are not required to be a member of the NASD, with the
applicable rules and regulations of any organization, agency or authority having
jurisdiction in such matters; and, further, you agree that you will maintain
adequate records with respect to your transactions with us and the Funds.

sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction. We may furnish you with information

states and jurisdictions as identified by us.

a trustee for you under the Securities Investor Protection Act, or any other act
of insolvency by you. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, you
shall remain liable for any amounts otherwise owing to us or the Funds and for
