(3) | Neither this Agreement nor any transaction effected pursuant hereto shall be invalidated or in any way affected by the fact that Board Members, officers, agents and/or shareholders of the Fund are or may be interested in Administrator or any successor or assignee thereof, as board members, officers, stockholders or otherwise; that board members, officers, stockholders or agents of Administrator are or may be interested in the Fund as Board Members, officers, shareholders or otherwise; or that Administrator or any successor or assignee is or may be interested in the Fund as shareholder or otherwise, provided, however, that neither Administrator, nor any officer, board member or employee thereof or of the Fund, shall knowingly sell to or buy from the Fund any property or security other than shares issued by the Fund, except in accordance with applicable regulations or orders of the SEC. | |
(4) | Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in writing, addressed and delivered, or mailed postpaid, to the party to this Agreement entitled to receive such, at such party’s principal place of business, or to such other address as either party may designate in writing mailed to the other in accordance with this Paragraph (4). | |

All information furnished by the Fund to Administrator under this Agreement shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any unaffiliated third party, except as permitted or required by the foregoing, where necessary to effect transactions or for the provision by third parties of services to the Fund, or where the Fund requests or authorizes Administrator to do so. Administrator may share information with its affiliates in accordance with its privacy and other relevant policies in effect from time to time. | |
(8) | A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Registrant, as amended or restated from time to time, is on file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of each Registrant by an officer or trustee of such Registrant in his or her capacity as an officer or trustee of such Registrant and not individually, and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers or shareholders of such Registrant individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of such Registrant. Furthermore, notice is hereby given that the assets and |
liabilities of each series of each Registrant are separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement with respect to the series of each Registrant are several and not joint. | ||
(9) | This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. |
Part Five: RENEWAL AND TERMINATION
(1) | This Agreement shall continue in effect for one year from the date hereof and, thereafter, from year to year as the parties may mutually agree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Agreement, with respect to any Fund, at any time, without the payment of a penalty, by giving the other party notice in writing specifying the date of such termination, which shall be not less than 60 days after the date of receipt of such notice. In the event that, in connection with a termination, a successor to any of the duties or responsibilities of Administrator hereunder is designated by the Fund by written notice to Administrator, upon such termination Administrator shall promptly, and at the expense of the Fund with respect to which this Agreement is terminated, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, and data established or maintained by Administrator under this Agreement and shall cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities. | |
(2) | This Agreement may be amended for any reason (including, for example, to modify the scope of services and/or fees contemplated herein) with respect to any Fund only upon written agreement of Administrator and the Trust, on behalf of that Fund. |
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties hereto have executed the foregoing Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.

This Addendum hereby supplements the attached Administrative Services Agreement (the
“Agreement”), dated as of Jan. 1, 2011, amended and restated April 14, 2011, by and between
Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (formerly known as RiverSource Investments, LLC) (the
“Administrator”), a Minnesota limited liability company, and Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the
“Registrant”), solely with respect to the Columbia Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Commodity Fund”),
a series of the Registrant, as follows:
The parties hereto acknowledge that, with respect to the Commodity Fund, and in accordance
with its prospectus, all or a portion of its assets may be held in one or more of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including but not limited to CCSF Offshore Fund, Ltd (referred to herein collectively
as the “Subsidiary”). The Administrator agrees that its provision of the services to the Commodity
Fund set forth in “Part One: Services” of the Agreement (the “Services”) shall also include the
provision of such Services, to the extent relevant and appropriate, to the Subsidiary, unless the
Subsidiary, by its own action or by separate agreement, determines to engage a different service
provider to provide all or a portion of such Services. For these purposes, all references in the
Agreement to the “Fund,” with respect to the Commodity Fund, shall also refer to the Subsidiary,
unless the context dictates otherwise (recognizing, among other things, that: (i) the Subsidiary’s
sole shareholder is the Commodity Fund; and (ii) the Subsidiary is not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator hereby agrees for purposes of “Part One:
Services” of the Agreement, to treat the assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary as if they are
held directly by the Commodity Fund, and, in addition, if required (as determined by the Fund’s
Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer), to treat the Subsidiary as a separate investment
by the Commodity Fund. Further, for purposes of “Part Two: Compensation for Services” of the
Agreement, the parties hereto agree to treat the assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary as if
they are held directly by the Commodity Fund. The Administrator acknowledges that, at the direction
of the Registrant’s Board of Trustees, the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary has retained the
Administrator to serve as such for the Subsidiary, and the Administrator, as a party to this
Agreement, has agreed to provide the Services to the Subsidiary, to the extent relevant and
appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
