By: /s/ Margie Morrison Name: Margie Morrison Title: Senior Vice President SCHEDULE B TO THE INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CHARLES SCHWAB INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. AND AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. FEES The Managed Assets of all mandates will be aggregated for purposes of calculating the fees. Fees will be accrued each day by applying to the Net Asset Value of the Managed Assets at the end of that day, the daily rate, using a 365-day year, equivalent to the applicable fee percentage set forth below ("Company Percentage"). Fees will be paid within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. The Sub-Adviser will not agree to a lower effective fee rate that is lower than Company Percentage with any other comparable client, as defined hereinafter, without notifying CSIM of such lower effective fee rate, pursuant to this Agreement. If at any time, the Company Percentage is greater than such fee rate, the Company Percentage will be reduced to be equal or less that fee rate. For purposes of this provision, the term "comparable client" shall mean any person or entity for which the Sub-Adviser is providing sub-advisory services, excluding clients whose fees are based on performance, that (1) enters into an investment management agreement with the Sub-Adviser after the date hereof (that is not a renewal, extension of or an amendment of an existing agreement) for the management of an account (either alone or together with other accounts of it and its affiliates) that is comparable or smaller in size to the Fund and (2) utilizes the same investment strategy and receives similar investment management services to those provided to the Fund, including without limitation, having comparable investment guidelines, restrictions and objectives. The determination of the applicability of this provision to any comparable client shall be made at the time of the Sub-Adviser's agreement to an effective fee rate.
