This Amendment is made by and between Jackson National Asset Management, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company and registered investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and DoubleLine Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership and registered investment adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”).

Whereas, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Parties”) entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement effective as of the 28th day of September, 2015, 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 to 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 Sub-Adviser as an additional sub-adviser to manage a portion of assets of the JNL Multi-Manager Alternative Fund of the Trust and new sub-advisory fee discount arrangements for the Funds, effective August 13, 2018.

Whereas, the Parties have agreed to amend the Agreement, effective August 13, 2018, to add the JNL Multi-Manager Alternative Fund (for the portion of assets managed by DoubleLine Capital LP) and its respective fees and to revise the footnotes set forth on Schedule B to the Agreement, to reflect the new sub-advisory fee discount arrangements for the Funds.

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

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.
