Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Expense Waiver Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date first set
forth above between Allianz Funds (the “Trust”), on behalf of its series as set forth in
Exhibit A hereto (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”), and Allianz Global Investors
Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), on the following terms:
1. The Trust is an open-end management investment company that has multiple separate
investment portfolios, including the Funds.
2. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Administration Agreement dated June 4, 2008 (the
“Administration Agreement”), an Administration Agreement dated February 17, 2012 (the “Allianz
Global Investors Money Market Fund Administration Agreement”), an Amended and Restated Investment
Advisory Agreement dated May 5, 2000 (the “Advisory Agreement”) and an Investment Advisory
Agreement dated February 17, 2012 (the “Allianz Global Investors Money Market Fund Advisory
Agreement” and, together with the Administration Agreement, Allianz Global Investors Money Market
Fund Administration Agreement and Advisory Agreement, the “Management Agreements”), the Trust has
retained AGIFM to provide the Trust and the Funds, and the Funds’ shareholders, with investment
advisory, administration and other services.
3. During the term of this Agreement, for each Fund listed under “Fund” in Exhibit A,
for the share classes of such Fund specified adjacent under “Classes,” AGIFM shall waive its fees
payable under the particular Management Agreement specified adjacent under “Affected Agreement” in
the amount or according to the schedule specified adjacent under “Expense Waiver.” In each case,
the amount waived will first be determined as aggregated across all share classes specified under
“Classes” and then prorated among the specified share classes according to the average daily net
assets attributable to each share class.
4. This Agreement shall be effective as of November 1, 2012 for a term lasting through
October 31, 2013.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement between the Trust and AGIFM, please so indicate by signing and returning to AGIFM the enclosed copy hereof.
Very truly yours, ALLIANZ FUNDS |
