Fee Schedule

1. BlueBay U.K. Fee: For the services provided by BlueBay U.K. and BlueBay U.S. to the Funds listed below pursuant to this Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will pay BlueBay U.K. a fee as follows:

FUND

RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Select Bond Fund

RBC BlueBay Global High Yield Bond Fund

RBC BlueBay Diversified Credit Fund

The Sub-Advisory Fee payable for each Fund to BlueBay U.K. shall be computed daily and payable monthly, calculated at an annual rate based on the total advisory fee paid to the Adviser by the Fund, after (1) deducting the amounts of any fees waived or Fund expenses paid by the Adviser for the Fund pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement then in place between the Adviser and the Trust with respect to such Fund (the “Expense Waivers”) from the total advisory fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, dated September 1, 2011, as amended (the “Advisory Fee”); and (2) multiplying such amount by 0.875; or formulaically:

(Advisory Fee less – Expense Waivers) x 0.875 = Sub-Advisory Fee

2. BlueBay U.S. Fee: As compensation for services provided by BlueBay U.S. to RBC BlueBay Global High Yield Bond Fund and RBC BlueBay Diversified Credit Fund pursuant to this Sub-Advisory Agreement, BlueBay U.K. will pay BlueBay U.S. a fee for its advisory services equal to the costs incurred by BlueBay U.S. in providing those services, plus a margin of 10%.

3. Term: Pursuant to Section 8.(A) of this Sub-Advisory Agreement and as approved by the Board of Trustees of RBC Funds Trust, this Sub-Advisory Agreement shall continue in effect until September 30, 2018 for the Funds listed above, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided such continuance is approved as described in Section 8.(A).
