Each Fund may invest in shares of PIMCO Funds: Private Account Portfolio Series – PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio and PIMCO Funds: Private Account Portfolio Series – PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio III (each a “PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio,” and together, the “PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolios”), each series of PIMCO Funds. The PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolios are offered only to series of the Trust (each an “Investing Fund”) or other series of registered investment companies for which PIMCO serves as investment adviser. The PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolios do not pay an investment advisory fee to PIMCO. By investing in a PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio, each Investing Fund and PIMCO agree that a portion of the fee that each Investing Fund is currently obligated to pay PIMCO as indicated on this Exhibit A, will be designated as compensation for the investment advisory services PIMCO provides to a PAPS Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio under its investment advisory contract with PIMCO. Specifically, to the extent that an Investing Fund invests in a Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio, a fee of 0.005% of the average daily value (as calculated in Section 6 of the Investment Advisory Contract) of the assets of the Investing Fund so invested shall be designated as compensation to PIMCO for the services provided to that Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio.
