NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the promises and
mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the Adviser and the
Portfolio Manager as follows:
1. Appointment. The Adviser hereby appoints Parametric Portfolio
Associates to act as Portfolio Manager to PIMCO PPA Tax-Efficient Equity and
PIMCO PPA Tax-Efficient Structured Emerging Markets Funds (each, a "Fund" and,
together, the "Funds") for the periods and on the terms set forth in this
Agreement. The Portfolio Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish
the services herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.
In the event the Adviser wishes to retain the Portfolio Manager to
render investment advisory services to one or more series of the Trust other
than the Funds, the Adviser shall notify the Portfolio Manager in writing. If
the Portfolio Manager is willing to render such services, it shall notify the
Adviser in writing, whereupon such series shall become a Fund hereunder, and be
subject to this Agreement.
2. Portfolio Management Duties. Subject to the supervision of the
Trust's Board of Trustees
and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a continuous investment
program for the Funds and determine the composition of the assets of the Funds,
including determination of the purchase, retention, or sale of the securities,
cash, and other investments for the Funds. The Portfolio Manager will provide
investment research and analysis, which may consist of computerized investment
methodology, and will conduct a continuous program of evaluation, investment,
sales, and reinvestment of the Funds' assets by determining the securities and
other investments that shall be purchased, entered into, sold, closed, or
exchanged for the Funds, when these transactions should be executed, and what
portion of the assets of the Funds should be held in the various securities and
other investments in which it may invest, and the Portfolio Manager is hereby
authorized to execute and perform such services on behalf of the Funds. To the
extent permitted by the investment policies of the Funds, the Portfolio Manager
shall make decisions for the Funds as to foreign currency matters and make
determinations as to the retention or disposition of foreign currencies or
securities or other instruments denominated in foreign currencies, or derivative
instruments based upon foreign currencies, including forward foreign currency
contracts and options and futures on foreign currencies and shall execute and
perform the same on behalf of the Funds. The Portfolio Manager will provide the
services under this Agreement in accordance with each Fund's investment
objective or objectives, investment policies, and investment restrictions as
stated in the Trust's registration statement filed on Form N-1A with the SEC, as
supplemented or amended from time to time (the "Registration Statement"), copies
of which shall be sent to the Portfolio Manager by the Adviser. In performing
these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) Shall conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, with
any applicable procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees, and with the
provisions of the Registration Statement, as supplemented or amended from time
to time.
(b) Shall use reasonable efforts to manage each Fund so that it qualifies
as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code").
(c) Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this
Section 2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for
the Funds, for broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM") selection,
and for negotiation of commission rates. The Portfolio Manager's primary
consideration in effecting a security or other transaction will be to obtain the
best execution for the Funds, taking into account the factors specified in the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the Trust, as they may be
amended or supplemented from time to time. Subject to such policies as the Board
of Trustees may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise
solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer, acting
as agent, for effecting a portfolio transaction at a price in excess of the
amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting
that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager determines in good faith that such
amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of
either that particular transaction or the Portfolio Manager's overall
responsibilities with respect to the Funds and to its other clients as to which
it exercises investment discretion. To the extent consistent with these
standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (including Rule 11a2-2(T)), and
subject to any other applicable laws and regulations, the Portfolio Manager is
further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the Funds to
the Portfolio Manager if it is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC, to
its affiliate that is registered as a broker or dealer with the SEC, or to such
brokers and dealers that also provide research or statistical research and
material, or other services to the Funds or the Portfolio Manager. Such
allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Portfolio Manager
shall determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon request, the
Portfolio Manager will report on said allocation to the Adviser and the Board of
Trustees of the Trust, indicating the brokers or dealers to which such
allocations have been made and the basis therefor.
(d) May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is deemed to
be in the best interest of a Fund as well as any other investment advisory
clients, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall
not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased with those
of its other clients where such aggregation is not inconsistent with the
policies set forth in the Registration Statement. In such event, allocation of
the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the
transaction, will be made by the Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and
equitable in the judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its
fiduciary obligations to the Trust and to such other clients.
(e) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for each
Fund, arrange for the transmission to the custodian for the Trust on a daily
basis, such confirmations, trade tickets, and other documents and information,
including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that identify
securities to be purchased or sold on
-2-
behalf of such Fund, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian to
perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to
such Fund, and, with respect to portfolio securities to be purchased or sold
through the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the automatic
transmission of the confirmation of such trades to the Trust's custodian.
(f) Will assist the custodian and recordkeeping agent(s) for the
Trust in determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures and
policies stated in the Registration Statement, the value of any
portfolio securities or other assets of each Fund for which the
custodian and recordkeeping agent(s) seek assistance from the
Portfolio Manager or identify for review by the Portfolio Manager.
(g) Will make available to the Trust and the Adviser, promptly
upon request, any of the Funds' investment records and ledgers as are
necessary to assist the Trust to comply with the requirements of the
1940 Act and the Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws, and
will furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority
any information or reports in connection with such services which may
be requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the Trust
are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
(h) Will regularly report to the Trust's Board of Trustees on the
investment program for each Fund and the issuers and securities
represented in the Fund's portfolio, and will furnish the Trust's
Board of Trustees with respect to each Fund such periodic and special
reports as the Trustees may reasonably request.
(i) Shall be responsible for making reasonable inquiries and for
reasonably ensuring that any employee of the Portfolio Manager has
not, to the best of the Portfolio Manager's knowledge:
(i) been convicted, in the last ten (10) years, of any
felony or misdemeanor involving the purchase or sale of any
security or arising out of such person's conduct as an
underwriter, broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal
securities dealer, government securities broker, government
securities dealer, transfer agent, or entity or person required
to be registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, or as an
affiliated person, salesman, or employee of any investment
company, bank, insurance company, or entity or person required to
be registered under the Commodity Exchange Act; or

any misconduct, by order, judgment, or decree of any court of

transfer agent, or entity or person required to be registered
under the Commodity Exchange Act, or as an affiliated person,
salesman or employee of any investment company, bank, insurance

Commodity Exchange Act, or from engaging in or continuing any
conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in
connection with the purchase or sale of any security.
