AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT, made this 9th day of November, 2010, between PIMCO Equity Series (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “Administrator” or “PIMCO”), a Delaware limited liability company.
WHEREAS, the Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in separate series, which are listed in the attached Schedule A (as amended from time to time), with each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets; and each series of the Trust issues its Shares in one or more classes, with each such class representing interests in the same portfolio of securities and other assets; and
WHEREAS, the Trust desires to retain the Administrator to render supervisory and administrative services hereunder with respect to the series listed on Schedule A, together with any other series subsequently established by the Trust, and with respect to which the Administrator is willing to do so, being herein collectively referred to also as the “Funds”; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract dated March 30, 2010, between the Trust and PIMCO (“Investment Advisory Contract”), the Trust has retained PIMCO to provide investment advisory services with respect to the Funds in the manner and on the terms set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the Trust wishes to retain PIMCO to provide or procure supervisory and administrative and other services to the Funds and their shareholders, including services which may be deemed to constitute distribution-related services with respect to Class D Shares; and
WHEREAS, PIMCO is willing to furnish supervisory and administrative services and/or to arrange for such services in the manner and on the terms hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Trust and PIMCO have determined to amend and restate this Agreement so that certain defined terms used herein may be amended in connection with the transition to a new principal distributor of the Trust’s shares; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints PIMCO as the Administrator to provide or procure, as applicable, the supervisory and administrative and other services with respect to the Funds for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time. The Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees during such period to
render or procure, as applicable, the services herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.
In the event the Trust establishes and designates additional series with respect to which it desires to retain the Administrator to render or procure, as applicable, supervisory and administrative and other services hereunder, it shall notify the Administrator in writing. If the Administrator is willing to render or procure such services it shall notify the Trust in writing, whereupon such additional series shall become a Fund hereunder.
2. Duties. Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Administrator shall provide or cause to be furnished all supervisory and administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds, including, in the case of Class D Shares, certain shareholder and distribution-related services, but not including the investment advisory services provided pursuant to the Investment Advisory Contract with the Trust or the distribution services provided by the Trust’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) pursuant to its Distribution Contract with the Trust.

Such actions shall include, but are not limited to: establishment and maintenance of a compliance program in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, support of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, and systems and procedures necessary to effectuate the compliance program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may procure or delegate provision of these services to third parties with respect to particular classes of the Funds or particular shareholders that have relationships with other financial intermediaries that perform similar services.
3
(b) Other Services. The Administrator shall also procure on behalf of the Trust and the Funds, and at the expense of the Administrator, the following persons to provide services to the Funds, to the extent necessary: (i) a custodian or custodians for the Funds to provide for the safekeeping of the Funds’ assets; (ii) a recordkeeping agent to maintain the portfolio accounting records for the Funds; (iii) a transfer agent for the Funds; and (iv) a dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The Trust may be a party to any agreement with any of the persons referred to in this Section 2(b).
(c) Special Class D Services. The Administrator shall provide in respect of Class D Shares (either directly or by procuring through other entities, including various financial services firms such as broker-dealers and registered investment advisors (“Service Organizations”)) some or all of the following services and facilities in connection with direct purchases by shareholders or in connection with products, programs or accounts offered by such Service Organizations: (i) facilities for placing orders directly for the purchase of a Fund’s Shares and tendering a Fund’s Class D Shares for redemption; (ii) advertising with respect to a Fund’s Class D Shares; (iii) providing information about the Funds; (iv) providing facilities to answer questions from prospective investors about the Funds; (v) receiving and answering correspondence, including requests for prospectuses and statements of additional information; (vi) preparing, printing and delivering prospectuses and shareholder reports to prospective shareholders; (vii) assisting investors in applying to purchase Class D Shares and selecting dividend and other account options; and (viii) shareholder services provided by a Service Organization that may include, but are not limited to, the following functions: receiving, aggregating and processing shareholder orders; furnishing shareholder sub-accounting; providing and maintaining elective shareholder services such as check writing and wire transfer services; providing and maintaining pre-authorized investment plans; communicating periodically with shareholders; acting as the sole shareholder of record and nominee for shareholders; maintaining accounting records for shareholders; answering questions and handling correspondence from shareholders about their accounts; issuing confirmations for transactions by shareholders; performing similar account administrative services; providing such shareholder communications and recordkeeping services as may be required for any program for which the Service Organization is a sponsor that relies on Rule 3a-4 under the 1940 Act; and providing such other similar services as may reasonably be requested to the extent the Service Organization is permitted to do so under applicable statutes, rules, or regulations.
The Administrator shall not provide directly hereunder any of the foregoing services which may cause the Administrator to be engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of others, or to induce or attempt to induce the purchase or sale of any security, but may procure such services on behalf of the Trust from certain Service Organizations. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrator may compensate its affiliate, the Trust’s principal underwriter, for certain services contemplated by this Agreement, including shareholder and distribution-related services, at the rate of up to 0.25% per annum of all assets attributable to Class D Shares sold through the Distributor.
The Administrator and the Trust understand that some or all of the services described in this subparagraph (c) may be deemed to represent services primarily intended to
4
result in the sale of Class D Shares (“Special Class D Services”). The Administrator agrees to present reports as to out-of-pocket expenditures and internal expense allocations of the Administrator and the Distributor at least quarterly and in a manner that permits the Qualified Trustees (hereinafter defined) to determine that portion of the fees hereunder which represents reimbursement in respect of Special Class D Services.
(d) Personnel. The Administrator shall also make its officers and employees available to the Board of Trustees and officers of the Trust for consultation and discussions regarding the administration of the Funds and services provided to the Funds under this Agreement.
(e) Standards; Reports. In performing these services, the Administrator:
(i) Shall conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations thereunder, with all other applicable federal, state and foreign laws and regulations, with any applicable procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, and with the provisions of the Trust’s Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A as supplemented or amended from time to time;
(ii) Will make available to the Trust, promptly upon request, any of the Funds’ books and records as are maintained under this Agreement, and will furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any such books and records and any information or reports in connection with the Administrator’s services under this Agreement that may be requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Trust are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(iii) Will, in addition to reports required by Section 2(c), regularly report to the Trust’s Board of Trustees on the services provided under this Agreement and will furnish the Trust’s Board of Trustees with respect to the Funds such periodic and special reports as the Trustees may reasonably request.
(iv) Will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801 et seq., as may be amended from time to time, and any regulations adopted thereto, including Regulation S-P of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as with any other applicable federal or state privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Massachusetts Standards for the Protection of Personal Information, 201 CMR 17.00, et seq.
3. Documentation. The Trust has delivered copies of each of the following documents to the Administrator and will deliver to it all future amendments and supplements thereto, if any:
(a) the Trust’s Registration Statement as filed with the SEC and any amendments thereto; and
5
(b) exhibits, powers of attorney, certificates and any and all other documents relating to or filed in connection with the Registration Statement described above.
4. Independent Contractor. The Administrator shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Trust from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed its agent.
5. Compensation. As compensation for the services rendered under this Agreement, the Trust shall pay to the Administrator a monthly fee, calculated as a percentage (on an annual basis) of the average daily value of the net assets of each of the Funds during the preceding month. The fee rates applicable to each class of a Fund shall be set forth in a schedule to this Agreement. The fees payable to the Administrator for all of the Funds shall be computed and accrued daily and paid monthly. If the Administrator shall serve for less than any whole month, the foregoing reimbursement shall be prorated. Any portion of the fees paid hereunder in respect of Class D Shares representing compensation for the Administrator’s and/or the Distributor’s out-of-pocket expenditures and internally allocated expenses in respect of Special Class D Services to any Fund (as reviewed quarterly by the Trustees based on the reports described in Section 2(c) above) shall not exceed the rate of 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of such Fund attributable to Class D Shares. To the extent such out-of-pocket expenditures and internally allocated expenses exceed such rate, such excess shall be paid by the Administrator and/or Distributor from their own resources (which may include legitimate profits from serving as investment adviser and/or administrator and/or distributor) and shall not be used as a basis for justifying or evaluating fees paid hereunder to the Administrator in respect of services other than the Special Class D Services.
6. Special Class D Services: Distribution Plan. To the extent that this Agreement relates to payments made in connection with the distribution of the Funds’ Class D Shares (i.e., Special Class D Services), it shall also constitute a “distribution plan” and a “related agreement” within the meaning of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. As required by said Rule 12b-1 in respect of distribution plans: (a) the term of this Agreement is as provided in Section 10 below; (b) the Administrator shall provide to the Trustees of the Trust, and all such Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended by the Trust for Special Class D Services and the purposes for which such expenditures were made; and (c) this Agreement may be terminated as provided in Section 10(b) below. As required by said Rule 12b-1 in respect of agreements related to distribution plans: (a) this Agreement may be terminated as provided in Section 10 below; and (b) this Agreement may also terminate in the circumstances described in Section 15(d) below. This Agreement may not be amended to increase materially the maximum amount specified in Section 5 (i.e., the rate of 0.25% per annum) payable out of Class D assets for Special Class D Services without approval by a majority of the outstanding Class D Shares (as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act in respect of voting securities) of a Fund. All material amendments to this Agreement (insofar as the relevant provision constitutes a part of a distribution plan) must be approved by a majority of the Qualified Trustees. Insofar as this Agreement constitutes a distribution plan for Class D Shares, its provisions are severable for that Class.
6
It is acknowledged and agreed that classes of Shares other than Class D may have separately documented distribution plans and related agreements.
7. Non-Exclusivity. It is understood that the services of the Administrator hereunder are not exclusive, and the Administrator shall be free to render similar services to other investment companies and other clients.

This provision shall govern only the liability to the Trust of the Administrator and that of its members, officers, directors, and
