CONTRACTUAL FEE WAIVER AGREEMENT
 
 
AGREEMENT made this 31st day of January, 2011 by and between Principal Funds, Inc. (the

below certain limits. The limits are expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets 
attributable to each respective class on an annualized basis. The expenses borne by the Advisor 
are subject to reimbursement by the Funds through the Expiration Date, provided no 
reimbursement will be made if it would result in the Funds’ exceeding the total operating expense 
limits. The operating expense limits are as follows:
