INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 20th day of January, 2012, by and between, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”), and Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Sub-Adviser”).
WHEREAS, Schwab Capital Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (“Company”), is an open-end, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), consisting of several series, each having its own investment objective and policies; and
WHEREAS, Company has entered into an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with CSIM pursuant to which CSIM acts as investment manager to Company (“Management Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, CSIM, acting with the approval of Company, wishes to retain Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services (“Services”) with respect to a portion of each series identified on Schedule A hereto, as may be amended from time to time, (each a “Fund”) that may be allocated by CSIM for management by the Sub-Adviser from time to time, together with all income earned on those assets and all realized and unrealized capital appreciation related to those assets (for each Fund, the “Managed Assets”), and Sub-Adviser is willing to render the Services.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. CSIM appoints Sub-Adviser to provide the Services for the period and term set forth in this Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”). Sub-Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the Services as provided herein.
2. DUTIES OF SUB-ADVISER.
(a) Subject to supervision of the Company, the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) and CSIM (collectively “Fund Parties”), Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for managing the investment and reinvestment of the Managed Assets and determine in its discretion, the securities and other property to be purchased or sold and the portion of the Managed Assets to be retained in cash, and shall not be responsible for providing investment advice to any other portion of a Fund. In performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, Sub-Adviser shall not consult with any other sub-adviser to a Fund concerning the Managed Assets, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any rule, regulation or order thereunder. Sub-Adviser will use same skill and care in providing the Services to each Fund as it utilizes in providing investment advisory services to other fiduciary accounts for which it has investment responsibilities. Sub-Adviser will provide Fund Parties with records concerning Sub-Adviser’s activities that Fund Parties are required to maintain, and regular reports concerning Sub-Adviser’s performance of the Services.
(b) Unless CSIM provides written instructions to the contrary, CSIM will review all proxy solicitation materials and will exercise any voting rights associated with securities comprising the Managed Assets pursuant to its proxy voting policy and guidelines.
(c) Sub-Adviser will provide assistance to Company, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Co, Inc. (“Distributor”) and CSIM (collectively “Schwab Parties”), as may be reasonably requested by such parties, which may include: (i) review of information relating to Sub-Adviser included in offering materials; (ii) attendance and participation at internal and external conferences (including in person, telephonic and video), conventions, road shows and other sales or educational meetings; (iii) making available to Fund Parties, any
economic, statistical and investment reports that Sub-Adviser generally makes available to its other institutional clients; and (iv) provision of discussion of market and performance data for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and web and other medium based marketing and advertising. Schwab parties may use the names, trade names, trademarks, service marks, artwork, designs, or other copyrighted materials of Sub-Adviser in connection with the offering, sale and marketing of Fund shares, subject to the written approval of Sub-Adviser, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) If requested by CSIM, Sub-Adviser will provide advice about the fair value of the securities of the Managed Assets; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that Company is responsible for any fair value pricing.
(e) Sub-Adviser will discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject to the supervision of Fund Parties, and in compliance with the following: (i) such policies as Fund Parties may from time to time establish; (ii) Company’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“Prospectus and SAI”); (iii) the provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to Sub-Adviser’s status; (iv) the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”); (v) to the extent CSIM notifies Sub-Adviser, any exemptive or other relief granted by the SEC; and (vi) any other federal laws applicable to Sub-Adviser. If a conflict in policies referenced herein occurs, the Prospectus and SAI will control. The parties acknowledge and agree that Sub-Adviser is only responsible for providing investment advisory services for the Managed Assets (which represents only a portion of the Fund) allocated by CSIM for management by Sub-Adviser and Sub-Adviser is not responsible for the management of any other assets of the Fund. Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for the Company’s or the Fund’s compliance with the 1940 Act or any other laws applicable to the Company or the Fund (including the Managed Assets); provided however, Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for undertaking such actions as directed in writing by CSIM for compliance with the 1940 Act or any other applicable law.
(f) Sub-Adviser agrees to perform such duties at its own expense and to provide the office space, furnishings and equipment and the personnel required by it to perform the Services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein. Sub-Adviser will not, however, pay for the cost of securities, commodities, and other investments (including brokerage commissions and other transaction charges, if any) purchased or sold for a Fund.
3. DUTIES OF CSIM.
(a) CSIM will continue to have responsibility for all services to be provided to a Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and will oversee and review Sub-Adviser’s performance of the Services. CSIM will furnish to Sub-Adviser current and complete copies of the Declaration of Trust and By-laws of Company, and the current Prospectus and SAI as those documents may be amended from time to time, any order or no-action letter of the SEC governing the operation of the Company and any relevant policies. CSIM undertakes to provide Sub-Adviser with copies or other written notice of any amendments, modifications or supplements to any such above-mentioned documents and, except as may be required by the Advisers Act or other applicable law or regulation, Sub-Adviser will not need to comply until a copy has been provided to Sub-Adviser.
(b) CSIM represents, warrants and agrees that CSIM (i) has been duly authorized by the Trustees of the Company to delegate to Sub-Adviser the provision of Services to each Fund as contemplated hereby; (ii) has the authority to enter into and perform the services contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) will promptly notify Sub-Adviser of the occurrence of any event that would disqualify CSIM from serving as investment manager to an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise.
(c) CSIM agrees that it has received Part II of Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV prior to entering into this Agreement.
2
(d) CSIM agrees that with respect to any new policies or revisions to existing policies that impact Sub-Adviser’s provision of investment management services to the Managed Assets implemented after the date of this Agreement, CSIM will discuss such policies changes with Sub-Adviser in advance of implementation. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, if Sub-Adviser is unable to comply with such policy changes, Sub-Adviser may provide 90 days written notice to terminate this agreement and upon receipt of such notice, CSIM will delay the implementation of such policy changes, unless required by the 1940 Act or applicable law, for the notice period.
4. CUSTODY. Company will designate one or more custodians in accordance with Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder to hold the Managed Assets (“Custodian”) in the name of each Fund. Each custodian will be responsible for the custody, receipt and delivery of securities and other assets of a Fund including the Managed Assets, and Sub-Adviser will have no authority, responsibility or obligation with respect to the custody, receipt or delivery of securities or other assets of a Fund. In the event that any cash or securities of a Fund are delivered to Sub-Adviser, Sub-Adviser will promptly deliver the same to the Custodian for the benefit of and in the name of Fund. Sub-Adviser will provide to the Custodian and Fund Accountant on each business day, information relating to all transactions in the Managed Assets and will provide such information to Fund Parties upon reasonable request. Sub-Adviser will make all reasonable efforts to notify Custodian and Fund Accountant of all orders to brokers for the Managed Assets by 9:00 am EST on the day following the trade date.
5. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Sub-Adviser is authorized to select brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities and other property for a Fund in a manner that implements the policy with respect to brokerage set forth in the Prospectus and SAI, or as Fund Parties may direct in writing from time to time, and in conformity with the federal securities laws.
(b) In effecting transactions for a Fund and selecting brokers or dealers, Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek “best execution” on behalf of the Fund. In seeking “best execution”, Sub-Adviser will consider any factors that it deems relevant, including, without limitation, price paid for the security, commission paid for the transaction, clearance, settlement, reputation, financial strength and stability, efficiency of execution and error resolution, block trading and block positioning capabilities, willingness to execute related or unrelated difficult transactions and order of call.
(c) Consistent with any policies established by Fund Parties and in compliance with the Prospectus and SAI and 1940 Act, Sub-Adviser is authorized, in its discretion, to utilize the services of a broker or dealer that provides brokerage or research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Securities Exchange Act”) and, subject to Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and other applicable law, may pay commissions on transactions in excess of the amount of commissions another broker or dealer would have charged.
(d) In no instance will Sub-Adviser cause Managed Assets to be purchased from or sold to Distributor, CSIM, Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of either Company, Distributor, CSIM, or Sub-Adviser (collectively “Related Parties”), except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any exemptive or other relief granted by the SEC. Sub-adviser will not execute any transactions with brokers or dealers that are Related Parties without the prior written approval of CSIM.
3
(e) Consistent with any policies established by Fund Parties, Sub-Adviser may aggregate orders for purchase or sale of Managed Assets with similar orders being made concurrently for other accounts managed by Sub-Adviser, if, in Sub-Adviser’s reasonable judgment, such aggregation will result in an overall economic benefit to Fund, taking into consideration the transaction price, brokerage commission, other expenses and other factors Sub-Adviser deems relevant. In any single transaction in which purchases or sales of securities of any issuer for the account of a Fund are aggregated with other accounts managed by Sub-Adviser, the actual prices applicable to the transaction will be averaged among the accounts for which the transaction is effected, including the account of the Fund.
(f) Sub-Adviser further shall have the authority, upon authorization by the Fund Parties to the Custodian, to instruct the Custodian of the Funds to: (a) deliver or accept delivery of, upon receipt of payment or payment upon receipt of, securities, commodities or other property underlying any futures (including give-up agreements), options, swaps, forwards or other derivatives contracts, and other property purchased or sold in the Funds; and (b) deposit margin or collateral which shall include the transfer of money, securities, or other property to the extent necessary to meet the obligations of the Funds with respect to any investments made pursuant to the Prospectus.
6. COMPENSATION OF SUB-ADVISER. For the Services provided and expenses assumed by Sub-Adviser under this Agreement, CSIM will pay to Sub-Adviser compensation at the rate specified in Schedule B, as may be amended from time to time. Such compensation will be paid at the times and on the terms set forth in Schedule B. All rights of compensation under this Agreement for Services performed as of the termination date will survive the termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise prohibited by law or regulation, Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, from time to time, waive a portion of its compensation.
7. REPORTS.
(a) Sub-Adviser will provide written quarterly reports to Fund Parties regarding the Managed Assets as may be agreed by CSIM and Sub-Adviser; provided however, the Trustees may specify information to be included in any written report. Sub-Adviser will make available to Fund Parties, upon Fund Parties written request, any economic, statistical and investment reports that Sub-Adviser generally makes available to its other institutional clients.
(b) Sub-Adviser will promptly communicate to Fund Parties any information relating to transactions in the Managed Assets, as Fund Parties may reasonably request.
(c) Sub-Adviser will promptly notify Fund Parties of any financial or regulatory condition that would impair the ability of Sub-Adviser to perform the Services. In addition, Sub-Adviser will promptly notify Fund Parties of (i) any intended change in control of Sub-Adviser, as such term is interpreted under the 1940 Act, and (ii) of any change in key portfolio or senior management responsible for performing the Services, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(d) Sub-Adviser will make its officers and key senior employees responsible for performing the Services available to meet with Fund Parties at such times and places, as Fund Parties may reasonably request, including at quarterly and special meetings of the Trustees in San Francisco, California.
8. STATUS OF SUB-ADVISER. Sub-Adviser is and will continue to be registered under the Advisers Act. The Services of Sub-Adviser to Company for each Fund are not to be deemed exclusive, and Sub-Adviser is free to render similar services to others so long as its Services to the Fund are not impaired thereby. Sub-Adviser is and will continue to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, has no authority to act for or represent Company in any way or otherwise act as agent of Company.

9. CODE OF ETHICS. Sub-Adviser will furnish to Fund Parties a current copy of its code of ethics that complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. Upon written request of CSIM, Sub-Adviser will permit Fund Parties to examine the reports made by Sub-Adviser pursuant to Rule 17j-1 and other records relevant to Sub-Adviser’s code of ethics. Sub-Adviser will provide an annual certification to Fund Parties certifying that there have been no material violations of Sub-Adviser’s code of ethics or, if such violations have occurred, that appropriate actions have been taken in response to such violations.
10. CERTAIN RECORDS.
(a) Sub-Adviser will maintain all books and records with respect to transactions involving the Managed Assets required by subparagraphs (b)(5), (6), (7), (9), (10) and (11) and paragraph (f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.

15. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement will become effective for each Fund upon its approval by the Trustees and by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund; provided, however, if CSIM obtains exemptive relief from the SEC permitting it to engage a Sub-Adviser without first obtaining approval of the Agreement from a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund involved, the Agreement will become effective upon its approval by the Trustees, without approval by the shareholders. This Agreement will remain in effect until two years from date of each effectiveness, and thereafter, for periods of one year so long as such continuance thereafter is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by the Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; provided, however, that if the shareholders of a Fund fail to approve the Agreement as provided herein, Sub-Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 0000 Xxx.

In addition, this Agreement may be terminated, with
6
cause, by CSIM at any time, without payment of any penalty by Fund Parties, upon written notice to Sub-Adviser. As used herein, “with cause” means: (i) any material breach of the Agreement by Sub-Adviser and (ii) any federal or state regulatory violation by Sub-Adviser.
