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

The Trust is an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust and consisting of such separate investment portfolios as have been or may be established by the Trustees of the Trust from time to time. A separate series of shares of beneficial interest in the Trust is offered to investors with respect to each investment portfolio. The PIMCO Diversified Income Exchange-Traded Fund, PIMCO Low Duration Exchange-Traded Fund and PIMCO Real Return Exchange-Traded Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a separate investment portfolio of the Trust.
2. The Trust and the Distributor have entered into a Distribution Contract (the “Contract”) dated November 9, 2010, pursuant to which the Distributor has agreed to be the distributor of shares of the Trust on the Effective Date as that term is defined in the Contract.
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 on February 26, 2013 and shall continue in effect for a period not to exceed two years from the effective date of this Supplement and shall continue thereafter on an annual basis with respect to the Funds only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Trust’s Board of Trustees or, with respect to each Fund, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, 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 a Fund or
the Distributor upon not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
