This Amendment is made by and between JNL Series Trust (the “Trust”) on behalf of the funds listed on Schedule A (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Whereas, the Trust and the Adviser (the “Parties”) entered into a Management Fee Waiver Agreement dated May 1, 2010, as amended (the “Agreement”), whereby the Adviser agreed to waive, for each Fund listed on Schedule A, a portion of its advisory fee, for the period the Fund invests all of its assets in its corresponding master fund, in the amounts listed on Schedule A, as it may be amended and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust from time to time.

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

3)
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.

4)
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.
