THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of
the 1st day of August, 2004, by and between AMERICAN CENTURY CAPITAL PORTFOLIOS,
INC., a Maryland corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), and AMERICAN
CENTURY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called
the "Investment Manager").
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted an Amended and Restated Multiple Class
Plan dated as of September 3, 2002 (as the same may be amended from time to
time, the "Multiple Class Plan"), pursuant to Rule 18f-3 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and
WHEREAS, the Multiple Class Plan establishes one or more classes of shares
for each series of shares of the Company;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to a revised methodology for
calculation of the rate at which the Management Fee is payable hereunder;
WHEREAS, the revised methodology will result in the same or lower
Management Fees than those that are currently in place for each of the series
and classes of shares of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement (i) to
arrange for investment management services to be provided by the Investment
Manager for all series and classes of shares issued by the Company; and (ii) to
reflect the revisions to the Management Fee calculation agreed to by the Board
of Directors of the Company and the Investment Manager.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and agreements
herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The Investment Manager shall supervise the
investments of each class of each series of shares of the Company
contemplated as of the date hereof, and each class of each subsequent
series of shares as the Company shall select the Investment Manager to
manage. In such capacity, the Investment Manager shall either directly, or
through the utilization of others as contemplated by Section 7 below,
maintain a continuous investment program for each series, determine what
securities shall be purchased or sold by each series, secure and evaluate
such information as it deems proper and take whatever action is necessary
or convenient to perform its functions, including the placing of purchase
and sale orders. In performing its duties hereunder, the Investment Manager
will manage the portfolio of all classes of shares of a particular series
as a single portfolio.
2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. All functions undertaken by the Investment Manager
hereunder shall at all times conform to, and be in accordance with, any
requirements imposed by:
(a) the Investment Company Act and any rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder;

Manager hereunder shall at all times be subject to the direction of the
Board of Directors of the Company, its executive committee, or any
committee or officers of the Company acting under the authority of the
Board of Directors.
4. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Investment Manager will pay all of the expenses of
each class of each series of the Company's shares that it shall manage
other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses,
the fees and expenses of those directors who are not "interested persons"
as defined in the Investment Company Act (hereinafter referred to as the
"Independent Directors") (including counsel fees), and expenses incurred in
connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution
services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act. The Investment Manager will provide the Company with all
physical facilities and personnel required to carry on the business of each
class of each series of the Company's shares that it shall manage,
including but not limited to office space, office furniture, fixtures and
equipment, office supplies, computer hardware and software and salaried and
hourly paid personnel. The Investment Manager may at its expense employ
others to provide all or any part of such facilities and personnel.
5. ACCOUNT FEES. The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Independent Directors, may from time to time
authorize the imposition of a fee as a direct charge against shareholder
accounts of any class of one or more of the series, such fee to be retained
by the Company or to be paid to the Investment Manager to defray expenses
which would otherwise be paid by the Investment Manager in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Agreement. At least sixty days prior
written notice of the intent to impose such fee must be given to the
shareholders of the affected class and series.
6. MANAGEMENT FEES.
(a) In consideration of the services provided by the Investment Manager,
each class of each series of shares of the Company managed by the
Investment Manager shall pay to the Investment Manager a management
fee that is calculated as described in this Section 6 using the fee
schedules set forth on Schedule A.
(b) DEFINITIONS
(1) An "INVESTMENT TEAM" is the Portfolio Managers that the

(2) An "INVESTMENT STRATEGY" is the processes and policies
implemented by the Investment Manager for pursuing a particular
investment objective managed by an Investment Team.
(3) A "PRIMARY STRATEGY PORTFOLIO" is each series of the Company, as
well as any other series of any other registered investment
company for which the Investment Manager serves as the investment
manager and for which American Century Investment Services, Inc.
serves as the distributor.
(4) A "SECONDARY STRATEGY PORTFOLIO" of a series of the Company is
another account managed by the Investment Manager that is managed
by the same Investment Team but is not a Primary Strategy
Portfolio.
(5) The "SECONDARY STRATEGY SHARE RATIO" of a series of the Company
is calculated by dividing the net assets of the series by the sum
of the Primary Strategy Portfolios that share a common Investment
Strategy.
(6) The "SECONDARY STRATEGY ASSETS" of a series of the Company is the
sum of the net assets of the series' Secondary Strategy
Portfolios multiplied by the series' Secondary Strategy Share
Ratio.

the sum of the net assets of the series and the series' Secondary
Strategy Assets.

is the percentage rate that results from dividing the Per Annum
Fee Dollar Amount for the class of a series by the Investment
Strategy Assets of the series.
(c) DAILY MANAGEMENT FEE CALCULATION. For each calendar day, each class of
each series of shares set forth on Schedule A shall accrue a fee
calculated by multiplying the Per Annum Fee Rate for that class times
the net assets of the class on that day, and further dividing that
product by 365 (366 in leap years).
(d) MONTHLY MANAGEMENT FEE PAYMENT. On the first business day of each
month, each class of each series of shares set forth on Schedule A
shall pay the management fee to the Investment Manager for the
previous month. The fee for the previous month shall be the sum of the
Daily Management Fee Calculations for each calendar day in the
previous month.
(e) ADDITIONAL SERIES OR CLASSES. In the event that the Board of Directors
of the Company shall determine to issue any additional series or
classes of shares for which it is proposed that the Investment Manager
serve as investment manager, the Company and the Investment Manager
may enter into an Addendum to this Agreement setting forth the name of
the series and/or class, the Fee Schedule for each and such other
terms and conditions as are applicable to the management of such
series of shares.

associate itself with such persons or entities as it determines is
necessary or convenient in its sole discretion and may contract with such

person or entity shall be paid by the Investment Manager, and no obligation
to such person or entity shall be incurred on behalf of the Company. Any

required by law, be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of

the Company or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding class of voting
securities of each series and (b) by the vote of a majority of the
Directors of the Company, who are not parties to the Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called

any time without penalty upon giving the Company 60 days' written notice,
and may be terminated at any time without penalty by the Board of Directors
of the Company or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of each class of each series on 60 days' written notice to the
Investment Manager.

event of assignment by the Investment Manager, the term "assignment" for
this purpose having the meaning defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the
Investment Company Act.
11. OTHER ACTIVITIES. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the
right of the Investment Manager, or the right of any of its officers,
directors or employees (who may also be a director, officer or employee of
the Company), to engage in any other business or to devote time and
attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether
of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any
other corporation, firm, individual or association.
12. STANDARD OF CARE. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder on
the part of the Investment Manager, it, as an inducement to it to enter
into this Agreement, shall not be subject to liability to the Company or to
any shareholder of the Company for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
13. SEPARATE AGREEMENT. The parties hereto acknowledge that certain provisions
of the Investment Company Act, in effect, treat each series of shares of an
investment company as a separate investment company. Accordingly, the
parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, to the extent deemed
appropriate and consistent with the Investment Company Act, this Agreement
shall be deemed to constitute a separate agreement between the Investment
Manager and each series of shares of the Company managed by the Investment
