Exhibit (m)(6)(vii)

                       LOOMIS SAYLES STRATEGIC INCOME FUND

                      Class C Distribution and Service Plan

     This Plan (the "Plan") constitutes the Distribution and Service Plan
relating to the Class C shares of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the
"Series"), a series of Loomis Sayles Funds II, a Massachusetts business trust
(the "Trust").

     Section 1. Service Fee. The Trust, on behalf of the Series, will pay to CDC
IXIS Asset Management Distributors, L.P. ("CDC IXIS Distributors"), a Delaware
limited partnership which acts as the Principal Distributor of the Series'
shares, or such other entity as shall from time to time act as the Principal
Distributor of the Series' shares (the "Distributor"), a fee (the "Service Fee")
at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the Series' average daily net assets
attributable to the Class C shares. Subject to such limit and subject to the
provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Service Fee shall be as approved from time
to time by (a) the Trustees of the Trust and (b) the Independent Trustees of the
Trust; provided, however, that no Service Fee or other fee that is a "service
fee" as defined in Section 26 of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (or any successor provision thereto) as
in effect from time to time (the "NASD Rule") shall be paid, with respect to
Class C shares of the Series, to CDC IXIS Distributors (or to any affiliate of
CDC IXIS Distributors, or to any other person in circumstances where
substantially all of the services and functions relating to the distribution of
Class C shares of the Series have been delegated to, or are being performed by,
CDC IXIS Distributors or an affiliate of CDC IXIS Distributors), under this Plan
or otherwise, if the Distribution Fee is terminated or is reduced below the rate
set forth in Section 2. The Service Fee shall be accrued daily and paid monthly
or at such other intervals as the Trustees shall determine. The Distributor may
pay all or any portion of the Service Fee to securities dealers or other
organizations (including, but not limited to, any affiliate of the Distributor)
as service fees pursuant to agreements with such organizations for providing
personal services to investors in Class C shares of the Series and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts, and may retain all or any portion of the
Service Fee as compensation for providing personal services to investors in
Class C shares of the Series and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. All
payments under this Section 1 are intended to qualify as "service fees" as
defined in the NASD Rule.

     Section 2. Distribution Fee. In addition to the Service Fee, the Trust, on
behalf of the Series, will pay to the Distributor a fee (the "Distribution Fee")
at an annual rate of 0.75% (unless reduced as contemplated by and permitted
pursuant to the next sentence hereof) of the Series' average daily net assets
attributable to the Class C shares in consideration of the services rendered in
connection with the sale of such shares by the Distributor. The Trust will not
terminate the Distribution Fee in respect of Series assets attributable to Class
C shares, or pay such fee at an annual rate of less than 0.75% of the Series'
average daily net assets attributable to the Class C shares, unless it has
ceased, and not resumed, paying the Service Fee (or any other fee that
constitutes a "service fee" as defined in the NASD Rule) to CDC IXIS
Distributors (or to any affiliate of CDC IXIS Distributors, or to any other
person in circumstances where substantially all of the services and functions
relating to the distribution of Class C shares of the Series have been delegated
to, or are being performed by, CDC IXIS Distributors or an affiliate of CDC IXIS
Distributors). Subject to such restriction and subject to the provisions of
Section 7 hereof, the Distribution Fee shall be as approved from time to time by
(a) the Trustees of the Trust and (b) the Independent Trustees of the Trust. The
Distribution Fee shall be accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other
intervals as the Trustees shall determine.

                                      -1-



     The obligation of the Series to pay the Distribution Fee shall terminate
upon the termination of this Plan or the relevant distribution agreement between
the Distributor and the Trust relating to the Series, in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof, but until any such termination shall not be subject to
any dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (it being understood
that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed a waiver by the Trust or the
Series of its right separately to pursue any claims it may have against the
Distributor and enforce such claims against any assets of the Distributor (other
than its right to be paid the Distribution Fee and to be paid contingent
deferred sales charges)).

     The right of CDC IXIS Distributors to receive the Distribution Fee (but not
the relevant distribution agreement or CDC IXIS Distributors' obligations
thereunder) may be transferred by CDC IXIS Distributors in order to raise funds
which may be useful or necessary to perform its duties as principal underwriter,
and any such transfer shall be effective upon written notice from CDC IXIS
Distributors to the Trust. In connection with the foregoing, the Series is
authorized to pay all or part of the Distribution Fee directly to such
transferee as directed by CDC IXIS Distributors.

     The Distributor may pay all or any portion of the Distribution Fee to
securities dealers or other organizations (including, but not limited to, any
affiliate of the Distributor) as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other
compensation with respect to the sale of Class C shares of the Series, and may
retain all or any portion of the Distribution Fee as compensation for the
Distributor's services as principal underwriter of the Class C shares of the
Series. All payments under this Section 2 are intended to qualify as
"asset-based sales charges" as defined in the NASD Rule.

     Section 3. This Plan shall continue in effect for a period of more than one
year only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually
by votes of the majority (or whatever other percentage may, from time to time,
be required by Section 12(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act")
or the rules and regulations thereunder) of both (a) the Trustees of the Trust,
and (b) the Independent Trustees of the Trust, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on this Plan or such agreement.

     Section 4. Any person authorized to direct the disposition of monies paid
or payable by the Trust pursuant to this Plan or any related agreement shall
provide to the Trustees of the Trust, and the Trustees shall review, at least
quarterly, a written report of the amounts so expended and the purposes for
which such expenditures were made.

     Section 5. This Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of
the Independent Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Class C
shares of the Series.

     Section 6. All agreements with any person relating to implementation of
this Plan shall be in writing, and any agreement related to this Plan shall
provide:

          A.   That such agreement may be terminated at any time, without
          payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent
          Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Class C shares of
          the Series, on not more than 60 days' written notice to any other
          party to the agreement; and

          B.   That such agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of
          its assignment.

     Section 7. This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount
of expenses permitted pursuant to Sections 1 or 2 hereof without approval by a
vote of at least a majority of the

                                   -2-



outstanding Class C shares of the Series, and all material amendments of this
Plan shall be approved in the manner provided for continuation of this Plan in
Section 3.

     Section 8. As used in this Plan, (a) the term "Independent Trustees" shall
mean those Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust,
and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan
or any agreements related to it, and (b) the terms "assignment" and "interested
person" shall have the respective meanings specified in the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, and the term "majority of the outstanding Class C
shares of the Series" shall mean the lesser of the 67% or the 50% voting
requirements specified in clauses (A) and (B), respectively, of the third
sentence of Section 2(a)(42) of the Act, all subject to such exemptions as may
be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
