Whereas, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (the “Parties”) entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement effective as of the 25th day of April, 2016, as amended (the “Agreement”), whereby the Adviser appointed the Sub-Adviser to provide certain sub-investment advisory services to certain investment portfolios (the “Funds”) of JNL Series Trust (the “Trust”), as listed on Schedule A of the Agreement.

Whereas, pursuant to the Agreement, the Adviser agreed to pay the Sub-Adviser for the services provided and the expenses assumed by the Sub-Adviser a sub-advisory fee as set forth on Schedule B of the Agreement, and the Sub-Adviser agreed to accept such sub-advisory fee as full compensation under the Agreement for such services and expenses.

Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved WCM Investment Management to replace PPM America, Inc. as the investment sub-adviser for the portion of assets managed by PPM America, Inc. for the JNL Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund (the “PPMA Sleeve”), effective August 13, 2018, thereby terminating the Agreement with respect to the PPMA Sleeve, effective August 13, 2018.

Whereas, the Parties agree to amend the Agreement to remove the PPMA Sleeve and its fees, effective August 13, 2018.

Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1)
Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with Schedule A dated August 13, 2018, attached hereto.

2)

3)
Except as specifically amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

4)
Each of the Parties represents and warrants to the others that it has full authority to enter into this Amendment upon the terms and conditions hereof and that the individual executing this Amendment is duly authorized to bind the respective party to this Amendment.

5)
This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute one document.

In Witness Whereof, the Parties have caused this Amendment to be executed, effective as of August 13, 2018.
