Whereas, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Parties”) entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement effective as of September 13, 2021, wherein the September 2, 2021 Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement, as amended, was incorporated by reference, and as amended thereafter (the “Agreement”), whereby the Adviser appointed the Sub-Adviser to provide certain sub-investment advisory services to certain investment portfolios (each, a “Fund”) of JNL Series Trust (the “Trust”), as listed on Schedule A to the Agreement.
