APPENDIX A

FEE SCHEDULE
TOTAL RETURN TRUST
A SERIES OF JOHN HANCOCK TRUST

     The Subadviser shall serve as investment subadviser for the Total Return Trust, a series of John Hancock Trust (the “Portfolio”). The Adviser will pay the Subadviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to the Portfolio, a subadvisory fee at an annual rate as follows (the "Subadviser Fee"):

If Relationship Net Assets* equal or exceed $3 Billion, the following fee schedule shall apply:

	First	Excess Over
	$1 Billion	$1 Billion
	of Total Return	of Total Return
Portfolio	Net Assets**	Net Assets**
Total Return Trust	[ ] %	[ ] %

If Relationship Net Assets* are less than $3 Billion, the following fee schedule shall apply:

Portfolio	All Asset Levels
Total Return Trust	[	] %

*The term Relationship Net Assets shall mean the aggregate net assets of all portfolios of the John Hancock Trust and the John Hancock Funds II that are subadvised by the Subadviser.

**The term Total Return Net Assets includes the net assets of the Portfolio. It also includes with respect to the Portfolio the net assets of the Total Return Fund, a series of John Hancock Funds II but only for the period during which the Subadviser for the Portfolio also serves as the subadviser for the Total Return Fund. For purposes of determining Total Return Net Assets and calculating the Subadviser Fee, the net assets of the Portfolio are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of the Total Return Fund are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that fund.

     The Subadviser Fee for the Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Total Return Net Assets divided by (ii) Total Return Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Subadviser Fee for the Portfolio shall be accrued for each calendar day, and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Subadviser within 30 calendar days of the end of each month. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Portfolio.

     The Adviser shall provide Subadviser with such information as Subadviser may reasonably request supporting the calculation of the fees paid to it hereunder. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by Subadviser.

     If, with respect to the Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Subadvisory Fee changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.
