format as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. For purposes of
this provision, "indirect intermediary" has the same meaning as

information received for marketing or any other similar purpose

companies to monitor for, prevent and detect excessive and/or

warranty to us that JNL has established policies and procedures
to monitor for frequent trading
1.2 AGREEMENT TO RESTRICT TRADING. You agree to execute written
instructions from us to restrict or prohibit further purchases or
exchanges of Interests related to Fund Shares by a Contract Owner that
has been identified by us as having engaged in transactions of
Interests related to Fund Shares that result in the violation of
policies established by us for the purpose of eliminating or reducing
any dilution of the value of Fund Shares.

Number, if known and provided by you in response to a request for
information pursuant to Section 1.1, and the specific
restriction(s) to be executed. If the Contract Number is not
known, the instructions must include an equivalent identifying
number of the Contract Owner(s), other identifying information
you provided, or other agreed upon information to which the
