Dear Sirs:
This will confirm the agreement between the undersigned (the “Trust”) and you (the “Distributor”) as follows:

A separate series of shares of beneficial interest in the Trust is offered to investors with respect to each investment portfolio. The PIMCO CommoditiesPLUS Strategy Fund and PIMCO CommoditiesPLUS Short Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) are each a separate investment portfolio of the Trust.
2. The Trust and the Distributor have entered into an Amended and Restated Distribution Contract (the “Contract”) dated February 26, 2008 (as amended November 4, 2008), pursuant to which the Distributor has agreed to be the distributor of shares of the Trust.
3. As provided in paragraph 1 of the Contract, the Distributor hereby adopts the Contract with respect to the Funds and the Distributor hereby acknowledges that the Contract, as amended below, shall pertain to the Funds, the terms and conditions of such Contract being hereby incorporated herein by reference.
4. The Trust and the Distributor hereby agree to amend the Contract as of the date hereof to add the Funds to Schedule A and to make other changes to Schedule A. Accordingly, the current Schedule A is replaced with the new Schedule A attached hereto.
5. This Supplement and the Contract shall become effective with respect to the Funds and each class thereof on February 23, 2010 and shall continue in effect for a period not to exceed one year from the effective date of this Supplement and shall continue thereafter on an annual basis with respect to the Funds and each class thereof only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Trust’s Board of Trustees or, with respect to the Funds and each class thereof, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds and each class thereof, as applicable (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), and (b) by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose, of a majority of the Trust’s Trustees who are not parties to this Contract or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of any such party. This Contract shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act). This Contract may, in
any event, be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty, by the Funds and each class thereof or the Distributor upon not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
6. The Declaration of Trust establishing the Trust, as amended and restated effective March 31, 2000, a copy of which, together with all amendments thereto (the “Declaration”), is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that the name “PIMCO Funds” refers to the trustees under the Declaration collectively as trustees and not as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate only shall be liable.
