Dear Xx. Xxxxxxx,

Reference is made to the Administration Agreement made between Aberdeen Funds and Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the “Administrator”) dated as of February 7, 2008, as amended and supplemented (the “Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, this letter is to provide notice of the creation of Aberdeen Japanese Equities Fund, each a new Fund of Aberdeen Funds.  We request that you act as Administrator with respect to the Aberdeen Japanese Equities Fund.

In addition, this letter is to provide notice that Board of Trustees of Aberdeen Funds took the following additional actions:

·             approved the liquidation of the Aberdeen High Yield Fund, to take place on or about October 22, 2015; and

·             approved changing the name of the Aberdeen U.S. Equity Fund to “Aberdeen U.S. Equity Multi-Cap Fund”, to be effective on or about October 31, 2015.

The foregoing are reflected in the attached amended and restated Exhibit B to the Agreement.

The Aberdeen High Yield Fund will require the services of the Administrator in winding up the affairs of the Fund, including completing final reporting and filing requirements for the Fund and any year-end tax related matters.  In order to ensure that appropriate amounts are retained by the Fund to pay amounts due to you as a Fund service provider, please provide a good faith estimate of your fees through the complete winding up of the Fund’s affairs.

Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by executing two copies of this letter and the attached Exhibit B, returning one to Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. and retaining one for your records.

	Sincerely,
	ABERDEEN FUNDS
