Re: Class R4 Rule 12b-1 Fee Waiver Letter Agreement
With reference to the Distribution Plan entered into by and between Xxxx Xxxxxxx Funds, LLC (the “Distributor”) and Xxxx Xxxxxxx Funds II (the “Trust’), on behalf of Class R4 shares of certain series thereof (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), we hereby notify you as follows:

The expense waiver agreements expire on the dates specified, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the Fund and the Distributor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
2. We understand and intend that the Trust will rely on this undertaking in overseeing the preparation and filing of Post-effective Amendments to the Registration Statements on Form N-1A for the Trust and the Funds with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accruing each Fund’s expenses for purposes of calculating its net and gross asset value per share, and for other purposes permitted under Form N-1A and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and we expressly permit the Trust to so rely.
