FORM OF AMENDMENT TO THE FORM OF ADDENDUM TO SALES AGREEMENT
FORM OF AMENDMENT TO
THE FORM OF ADDENDUM TO SALES AGREEMENT
This Amendment to the Addendum to the Sales Agreement (the “Amendment”) is entered into between PIMCO Investments LLC (“Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, and [ ] (“Intermediary”) as of the [ ] day of [ ], 201[ ].
Reference is made to the Addendum to the Sales Agreement between the Distributor and Intermediary (the “Addendum”) and the Sales Agreement between the Distributor and Intermediary (“Sales Agreement”) dated as of [ ] and [ ], respectively, as amended from time to time. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Addendum and Sales Agreement.
WHEREAS, in addition to PIMCO Flexible Credit Income Fund (“PFLEX”) and its Shares and Classes covered by the Addendum, Distributor and Intermediary desire that Intermediary also participate as a selected dealer in the distribution of shares of additional PIMCO-sponsored closed-end “interval” investment companies (each, an “Interval Fund”), and for which the Distributor serves as principal underwriter, and in the distribution of such Classes of Shares of PFLEX and each Interval Fund as provided in Exhibit A attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Distributor and Intermediary hereby agree as follows:
1. The Interval Funds as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time, shall be treated for all purposes as a “Company” under the Addendum, subject to the terms and conditions specified herein, in the Addendum and in the Sales Agreement. Upon execution by the parties, this Amendment shall become a part of the Addendum, and the Addendum, as it may be further amended, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment. To the extent that there is a conflict between the Addendum and this Amendment, this Amendment shall control for all purposes. To the extent that there is a conflict between the Sales Agreement and this Amendment, this Amendment shall control for all purposes.
2. Exhibit A to the Addendum is hereby removed and replaced in its entirety by Exhibit A, attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time (including to add or remove funds and/or share classes).
3. Paragraph 3 of the Addendum is hereby removed and replaced in its entirety by the following Paragraph 3:
Intermediary shall be entitled to receive compensation (“Compensation”), if applicable, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto with respect to its activities and services contemplated herein in the form of: (i) discounts, concessions or commissions (collectively “Commissions”) “reallowed” or payable with respect to classes of Shares that have sales loads/charges (including initial loads and early withdrawal charges); and (ii) distribution, administrative, recordkeeping and shareholder and/or related services fees (“Distribution and Servicing Fees”), including those
payable in connection with plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each, a “Distribution and Servicing Plan”). The rates of any Commissions or any Distribution and Servicing Fees paid with respect to any Interval Fund’s Shares, including outstanding Shares, are subject to change by Distributor, and Commissions to selected Intermediaries may be subject to reductions under a variety of circumstances, as may be the case with other Shares as specified under the Sales Agreement. In the event that an Interval Fund determines to impose an early withdrawal charge on Shares repurchased by the Fund within a specified time period after purchase, such early withdrawal charge shall be treated like CDSCs under the Sales Agreement.
This Amendment, together with the Addendum and Sales Agreement, shall be binding upon both parties hereto when executed by both parties and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding between Distributor and Intermediary with respect to the sale of Shares of any Interval Fund. This Addendum may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
