THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Plan”) is made this 23rd day of June 2016, among Xxxx Xxxxxxx Variable Insurance Trust (“JHVIT”), a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of each “Acquired Fund” and its “Acquiring Fund” listed below, each of which are separate series or funds of JHVIT, and, solely with respect to Section 9, Xxxx Xxxxxxx Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”).

Acquired Fund	Corresponding Acquiring Fund
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Founding Allocation Trust	Lifestyle Growth PS Series
International Core Trust	International Value Trust
U.S. Equity Trust	500 Index Trust B

This Plan shall be deemed to be a separate agreement by JHVIT on behalf of each Acquired Fund and each Acquiring Fund. As used herein, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, each Acquired Fund, each Acquiring Fund, and each Reorganization are, respectively, the “Acquired Fund,” the “Acquiring Fund,” and the “Reorganization.”

WHEREAS, JHVIT intends to provide for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund through the acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of all assets, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, subject to all of the liabilities, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Series I, Series II, and Series NAV voting shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares”), the liquidation of the Acquired Fund and the distribution to Acquired Fund shareholders of the Acquiring Fund Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of JHVIT (the “Board”) has determined that the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of each such series, as well as the best interests of shareholders and owners of variable life and annuity contracts funded by shares of such series (“contract owners”), and that the interests of existing shareholders and contract owners will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, JHVIT on behalf of, respectively, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, and JHIMS with respect to Section 9 of the Plan only, hereto agree as follows:

1. Transfer of Assets of the Acquired Fund in Exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and Liquidation of the Acquired Fund

(a) Plan of Reorganization.

(i) JHVIT on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund all known or unknown, fixed or contingent assets of the Acquired Fund (consisting, without limitation, of portfolio securities and instruments, dividend and interest receivables, cash, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued) and other assets). In consideration thereof, JHVIT on behalf of the Acquiring Fund will (A) assume and pay, all of the known or unknown, fixed or contingent obligations and liabilities of the Acquired Fund and (B) issue and deliver to the Acquired Fund that number of full and fractional Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund as determined in Section 1(c) hereof. Any Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”) held in the treasury of JHVIT at the Effective Time of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 1(b)(i) hereof) shall thereupon be retired. Such transactions shall take place on the date provided for in Section 1(b)(i) hereof (the “Exchange Date”). All computations for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund shall be performed by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), as custodian and pricing agent for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. The determination of the Custodian shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.

(ii) As of the Effective Time of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record (“Acquired Fund shareholders”) as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) in actual or constructive exchange for the shares of the Acquired Fund held by the Acquired Fund shareholders. The holders of Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of the Acquired Fund will receive Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund, respectively. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund shareholders and representing the respective pro-rata number of the Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders. The Acquiring Fund will not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. The exchange of the Acquired Fund’s shares for the Acquiring Fund’s shares shall constitute a full cancellation of those shares and shall terminate any continuing rights of the holders of such Acquired Fund shares as such.

(iii) With respect to the Reorganization, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Reorganization, JHVIT shall take all the necessary steps under Massachusetts law, JHVIT’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) and any other applicable law to effect a complete dissolution of the Acquired Fund.

(b) Exchange Date and Effective Time of the Reorganization.

(i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Reorganization specified in this Plan, the Reorganization shall occur as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”) on the day (the “Exchange Date”) which is the later of: (A) the final adjournment of the meeting of the holders of Acquired Fund shares at which this Plan will be considered; (B) October 21, 2016; or (C) such later day as any one or more of the officers of JHVIT may determine.

(ii) All acts taking place on the Exchange Date shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization, unless otherwise provided.

(iii) In the event that on the proposed Exchange Date: (A) the NYSE shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted; or (B) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate valuation of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Exchange Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

(iv) On the Exchange Date, portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund shall be transferred by the Custodian to the account of the Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer, in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary federal and state stock transfer stamps or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof.

(i) The net asset value per share of Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund and the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred in exchange for such Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares shall be determined as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization. The net asset value per share of Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund shall be computed by the Custodian in the manner set forth in the Declaration of Trust or JHVIT’s By-laws (the “By-laws”) and then-current prospectus and statement of additional information and shall be computed to not less than two decimal places. The net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred shall be computed by the Custodian by calculating the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund and by subtracting therefrom the amount of the liabilities assigned and transferred to the Acquiring Fund, said assets and liabilities to be valued in the manner set forth in the Declaration of Trust or By-laws and then-current prospectus and statement of additional information.

(ii) The number of Series I, Series II, and Series NAV shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets shall be determined by dividing the net value of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to shares of each class to be transferred by the net asset value per share of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be exchanged for each such class of shares of the Acquired Fund, in each case as determined in accordance with Section 1(c)(i).

(iii) All computations of value shall be made by the Custodian in accordance with its regular practice as pricing agent for the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund.

APPENDIX A

ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE

The Adviser shall serve as investment adviser for each Portfolio of the Trust listed below. The Trust will pay the Adviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to each Portfolio, the fee computed separately for such Portfolio at an annual rate as follows (the “Adviser Fee”).

The term Aggregate Net Assets in the chart below includes the net assets of a Portfolio of the Trust. It also includes with respect to certain Portfolios as indicated in the chart the net assets of one or more other portfolios, but in each case only for the period during which the subadviser for the Portfolio also serves as the subadviser for the other portfolio(s) and only with respect to the net assets of such other portfolio(s) that are managed by the subadviser.

For purposes of determining Aggregate Net Assets and calculating the Adviser Fee, the net assets of the Portfolio and each other fund of the Trust are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of the Trust, and the net assets of each portfolio of each other fund are determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of that fund.

The Adviser Fee for a Portfolio shall be based on the applicable annual fee rate for the Portfolio which for each day shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates in the table to the applicable portions of Aggregate Net Assets divided by (ii) Aggregate Net Assets (the “Applicable Annual Fee Rate”). The Adviser Fee for each Portfolio shall be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Portfolio. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.

If, with respect to any Portfolio, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date of such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

___________________

Certain Definitions:

“Affiliated Fund Assets” means the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets (as applicable) of a Fund of Funds that are invested in Affiliated Funds.

“Affiliated Funds” are any fund of Xxxx Xxxxxxx Trust (“JHVIT”), Xxxx Xxxxxxx Funds II (“JHF II”) or Xxxx Xxxxxxx Funds III (“JHF III”), excluding the following funds of JHVIT: the Money Market Trust B, 500 Index Trust B, International Equity Index Trust B and Total Bond Market Trust B. In the case of Core Fundamental Holdings Trust and Core Global Diversification Trust, Affiliated Funds also includes the funds of American Fund Insurance Series.

“Aggregate Net Assets” of a Fund of Funds means the net assets of the Fund of Funds and the net assets of one or more other Funds of JHVIT, JHF II or JHF III, but only with respect to and for so long as such other Fund or Funds are managed by the same subadviser as the Fund of Funds.

“Other Assets” means the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets, as applicable, of a Fund of Funds that are not invested in Affiliated Funds.

Adviser Fee:

The Trust will pay the Adviser, as full compensation for all services provided under this Agreement with respect to each Fund of Funds, a fee computed separately for each Fund of Funds as follows (the “Adviser Fee”).

The Adviser Fee for each Fund of Funds has two components: (a) a fee on Affiliated Fund Assets; and

(b) a fee on Other Assets. Each such fee shall each be accrued and paid daily to the Adviser for each calendar day. The daily Adviser Fee for each Fund of Funds shall be the sum of the daily fee on Affiliated Fund Assets and the daily fee on Other Assets. Fees shall be paid either by wire transfer or check, as directed by the Adviser.

(a) Fee on Affiliated Fund Assets. The fee on Affiliated Fund Assets is stated as an annual percentage of the current value of either the net assets or the Aggregate Net Assets (as applicable) of the Fund of Funds, in each case determined in accordance with the fee schedule set forth below for the Fund of Funds, and that percentage rate (the “Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate”) is applied to the Affiliated Fund Assets of the Fund of Funds. For each day the Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate for the Fund of Funds shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates for Affiliated Fund Assets in the fee schedule to the applicable portions of the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets of the Fund of Funds divided by (ii) the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets, respectively, of the Fund of Funds. The daily fee accrual on Affiliated Fund Assets will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the Affiliated Fund Assets of the Fund of Funds.

(b) Fee on Other Assets. The fee on Other Assets is stated as an annual percentage of the current value of either the net assets or the Aggregate Net Assets (as applicable) of the Fund of Funds, in each case determined in accordance with the fee schedule set forth below for the Fund of Funds, and that percentage rate (the “Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate”) is applied to the Other Assets of the Fund of Funds. For each day the Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate for the Fund of Funds shall be equal to (i) the sum of the amounts determined by applying the annual percentage rates for Other Assets in the fee schedule to the applicable portions of the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets of the Fund of Funds, divided by (ii) the net assets or Aggregate Net Assets, respectively, of the Fund of Funds. The daily fee accrual on Other Assets will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate, and multiplying this product by the Other Assets of the Fund of Funds.

Net assets, Aggregate Net Assets, Affiliated Fund Assets and Other Assets with respect to a Fund of Funds shall be determined as of the close of business on the previous business day of JHVIT for JHVIT Funds, as of the close of business on the previous business day of JHF II for JHF II Funds and as of the close of business on the previous business day of JHF III for JHF III Funds.

If, with respect to any Fund of Funds, this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the Applicable Annual Affiliated Funds Fee Rate or the Applicable Annual Other Assets Fee Rate changes, before the end of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or from the beginning of such month to the date such change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.
