V. PAYMENT TO INSURANCE AGENCY

A. Compliance with No-Action Letters. Broker/Dealer and Agency represent and warrant that they are in compliance with the terms and conditions of one or more no-action letters issued by the SEC with respect to compensation paid to an insurance agency associated with a registered Broker/Dealer where such insurance agency is not itself registered as a Broker/Dealer with the SEC.

SCHEDULE A

General Letter of Recommendation

Broker/Dealer and any Agency, where applicable, hereby certify to Distributor and Insurer that all the following requirements shall be fulfilled by Broker/Dealer and/or Agency in conjunction with the submission of licensing/appointment papers for all applicants as Producers. Broker/Dealer and Agency, upon request, will forward proof of compliance with the same to Distributor and Insurer in a timely manner.

We have made a thorough investigation relative to each applicant’s identity, residence, and business reputation and declare that each applicant is personally known to us, has been examined by us, has a good business reputation, is reliable, is financially responsible, and is worthy of an appointment with Insurer. Each individual is trustworthy, competent, and qualified to act as a Producer for Insurer to hold himself out in good faith to the general public.

We have on file a Form U-4 which was completed by each applicant intending to sell the registered Contracts. We have fulfilled all the necessary investigative requirements for the registration of each applicant as a Producer through Broker/Dealer, and each applicant is presently registered as an FINRA Registered Representative, unless only nonregistered products are to be sold. The above information in our files indicated no fact or condition which would disqualify the applicant from receiving an appointment with the insurer, and the findings of all investigative information are favorable. Broker/Dealer and/or Agency will immediately inform Distributor and Insurer if any Producer fails to qualify for licensing, appointment, or the unqualified recommendation of Broker/Dealer and/or Agency.

We certify that all educational requirements have been met for the specific jurisdiction in which each applicant is requesting a license/appointment and that all such persons have fulfilled the appropriate examination, education and training requirements, and that all such persons are appropriately affiliated with the Broker/Dealer and Agency as insurance producers in the specific jurisdiction for which each applicant is requesting appointment/licensure, in compliance with individual state insurance department requirements.

If the applicants are required to submit their signatures on any original or facsimile documents, we certify that the signatures on those items forwarded to Distributor and Insurer are those of the applicants.

We hereby warrant that the applicant is not applying for an appointment with Insurer in order to place insurance chiefly or solely on his/her life or property, the lives or property of his/her relatives, or liability of his/her associates.

We certify that each applicant will receive close and adequate supervision and that we will make inspection, when needed, of any or all risks written by these applicants, to the end that the insurance and financial interests of the public will be properly protected.

We will not permit any applicant to transact insurance as a Producer until duly licensed and appointed therefore. No applicants have been given a Contract or furnished supplies, nor have any applicants been permitted to write, solicit business, or act as a Producer in any capacity, and they will not be so permitted until the certificate of authority, license applied for, and/or appointment confirmation is received.

Schedule B

Commission Schedules:Terms&Conditions

All Products

All Contracts and commission schedules are subject to change and may not be available in all states.

The Insurer reserves the right to offer different commission terms for any product Contract or Contracts for the same owner having combined initial or anticipated total premium in excess of $1 million and, for Flexible Premium Fixed Annuity Contracts, on renewal premium in excess of $500,000.

The Commission Schedules, as amended from time to time, are part of the Agreement. They are subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Commission Chargeback Provision. In no event shall the Insurer be liable for payment with respect to any solicitation made, in whole or in part, by any person not appropriately licensed, registered, and appointed with Insurer prior to the commencement of such solicitation.

Insurer will pay all compensation due Broker/Dealer, or due any Producers of Broker/Dealer, either directly to Broker/Dealer or, as necessary to meet legal requirements, to the licensed Broker/Dealer affiliate or individual Producers. Broker/Dealer hereby warrants that all necessary contractual arrangements are in place to enable Insurer to pay Broker/Dealer, or any affiliate, for business produced by Producers of Broker/Dealer in the jurisdiction in which they hold licenses. Broker/Dealer shall pay all compensation, if any, due to any person, including Producers of Broker/Dealer, with respect to Contracts which are subject to this Agreement, and no such Producer of Broker/Dealer, or other person shall have any claim against Insurer on account of the sale or service of any such Contracts. Insurer shall have no obligation to make compensation payments except as provided herein.

Commission Chargeback Provision

The Insurer shall not be liable, and the Broker/Dealer agrees to reimburse Insurer for any commissions paid by the Insurer hereunder with respect to: (a) a Contract (excluding annuitized Contracts) where the date of death is within six months from the date the Contract is issued if the owner’s death (or annuitant’s death on an annuitant-driven Contract) resulted from any cause or means other than from bodily injuries effected solely through accidental means; (b) a Contract (excluding annuitized Contracts, and immediate annuities) where illness brings about (or “results in”) the Contract owner’s request of a Terminal Illness Benefit prior to or within six months from the date the Contract was issued; (c) a Contract returned to the Insurer pursuant to the “Free Look” provision of the Contract; (d) a Contract that is rescinded or not issued by the Insurer, as determined by the Insurer in its sole discretion; (e) an immediate annuity Contract where the premium is returned and the Contract is terminated prior to the first annuity payment; (f) a full or partial surrender of a certain Contract within 12 months from the date the Contract is issued, or from the date subsequent premiums are applied to the Contract, based on the chargeback scale noted on those commission schedules; (g) a Contract in which the Nursing Home Waiver is exercised within six months from the date the Contract was issued, or from the date subsequent premiums are applied to the Contract, based on premiums withdrawn that were received during that six-month period, up to a maximum of commissions paid on $250,000 in premium; (h) a Contract in which the Accelerated Benefit is exercised within six months from the date the Contract was issued, based on the percentage of premiums withdrawn that were received during that six-month period, up to a maximum of 25% of the commissions paid; (i) a Contract that the Insurer issues as a result of the Broker/Dealer submitting prospective Contract information electronically, by order ticket or by written application, if the Insurer does not receive additional Insurer specified information within 60 days from the date the Contract is issued (the additional information may include, but is not limited to, (1) an executed application or (2) an executed Important Notice on Existing Policies or Contracts and, if applicable, an executed Important Notice: Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities); (j) any situation in which the Broker/Dealer and/or Producer fails to conform to applicable state regulations and/or Insurer policies and procedures; or (k) any situation in which the Broker/Dealer and/or Producer fails to reasonably cooperate with the Insurer; (l) if any life insurance claim that is successfully contested, including, but not limited to, death resulting from suicide during the contestability period. Any such Commissions paid shall be charged back to the Broker/Dealer. Broker/Dealer agrees to remit payment for outstanding balances within 30 days. The Insurer reserves the right to automatically recoup any charged back commission by offsetting them against current and/or future commission credits, when available.

JNL® retains the right to withhold commission payment until expiration of the “Free Look” provision.

Issue Age

Issue age is based on individual owner. If joint owners, issue age is based on oldest owner’s age. Commissions for subsequent premiums will be based on the owner’s issue age, not attained age. In the case of a non-natural entity owner, the issue age will be based on the annuitant’s age. The Insurer reserves the right to adjust commissions in response to ownership changes (annuitant changes for Contracts with non-natural owners) if the age of the new owner/annuitant on whose life the Death Benefit of the Contract is based, would have paid a different commission rate at issue, had the new owner/annuitant been the original owner/annuitant.

Fixed Annuities and Life Insurance Only

Commissions are not paid on renewal premiums which are deducted from a Contract’s cash accumulation account. Renewal commissions shall not be allowed on premiums deposited into an advance premium account unless and until such premiums are due. No first-year commissions are payable on Preliminary Term Insurance premiums or on Flat Extra Premium assessed for nine (9) years or less. The Broker/Dealer shall not be entitled to first-year or renewal commissions on premiums waived or paid by the Insurer under the Waiver of Premium provisions of any Contract.

When submitting an application for life insurance, Broker/Dealer agrees to cause its Producers to provide current and accurate medical and health information concerning each proposed insured. Broker/Dealer further agrees to cause its Producer to update such information if, prior to Contract delivery, Broker/Dealer or Producers know or reasonably should know that the Insurer’s information concerning the proposed insured is no longer accurate. Broker/Dealer agrees not to make delivery of an Insurer’s life insurance policy on behalf of Insurer if the Broker/Dealer or its Producers have reasonable cause to believe that the health of the proposed insured has changed since the time of the application for that Contract, and further agrees to contact the Insurer for instructions.

Nothing contained herein shall require payment of commissions to Broker/Dealer for business submitted directly to the Insurer by any Producer with an agreement and appointment with the Insurer.

InternalExchange(JNL® Registered Products)

Exchanges of JNL registered products for other JNL registered products are not promoted or supported by JNL – remaining surrender charges, if any, are not waived and no commissions are paid. As such, they are not treated as internal exchanges. JNL reserves the right, consistent with its obligations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to determine what constitutes an internal exchange.

InternalExchange(JNL® Fixed AnnuityContractsExchanged forPerspectiveAdvisorsIISM)

On Jackson National Life Insurance Company fixed annuity Contracts exchanged for Perspective Advisors II Contracts, withdrawal charges, Market Value Adjustments, Excess Interest Adjustments, and Weighted Index Value Adjustments, will NOT be waived on the JNL fixed annuity Contracts. Full commission will be paid on the new Perspective Advisors II Contracts.
