Whereas, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement effective as of the 28th day of April, 2014 (“Agreement”), whereby the Adviser appointed the Sub-Adviser to provide sub-investment advisory services to certain investment portfolios (“Funds”) of JNL Series Trust (“Trust”), as listed on Schedule A to the Agreement.
Whereas, the parties have agreed to amend the following section of the Agreement:

Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement, as follows:
Delete Section 12. “Duration and Termination” in its entirety, and replace with the following:

12.

Duration and Termination. This Agreement will become effective as to a Fund upon execution or, if later, on the date that initial capital for such Fund is first provided to it and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the initial term will continue in effect through September 30, 2015. Thereafter, if not terminated as to a Fund, this Agreement will continue from year to year through September 30th of each successive year following the initial term, for each Fund covered by this Agreement, as listed on Schedule A, provided that such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund(s), and in either event approved also by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust, or of the Adviser, or of the Sub-Adviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on sixty days’ written notice by the Trust or Adviser, or on sixty days’ written notice by the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. (As used in this Agreement, the terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities”, “interested persons” and “assignment” have the same meaning of such terms as in the 1940 Act.) Section 10 and 11 herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
