| 1 | These waivers shall have an initial term expiring one year from the date of this Agreement for each Fund (the “Initial Term”). The Adviser may extend this Agreement for each Fund before the expiration of the Initial Term, which extension shall automatically be effective for a term ending April 30th of the following year, and thereafter this Agreement shall automatically renew upon the end of the then current term for a new one-year term with respect to each Fund unless the Adviser provides written notice of the termination of this Agreement to the Board of Trustees within 30 days prior to the end of the then current term for that Fund. |
| 2 | JNAM has also contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in the event the total acquired fund fees and expenses from the Fund’s investment in the JNL/DFA International Core Equity Fund (Fund A) exceed total acquired fund fees and expenses had the Fund invested in the DFA International Core Equity Fund (Fund B), a similarly managed strategy of the Fund. The waiver will be computed by multiplying the Fund’s underlying investments in Fund A by the difference in acquired fund fees and expenses between Fund A and Fund B. |
