EX. 99.28(d)(1)(v)
Amendment to
Amended and Restated Investment Advisory
and Management Agreement
Between JNL Variable Fund LLC and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ National Asset Management, LLC
This Amendment is made by and between JNL Variable Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fund”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ National Asset Management, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Adviser”).
Whereas, the Adviser and the Fund entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Management Agreement effective December 1, 2012, as amended April 29, 2013, May 30, 2013 and September 16, 2013 (“Agreement”), whereby the Adviser agreed to provide certain advisory services to several separate series of shares (each a “fund”) of the Fund.
Whereas, the parties have agreed to amend the following section of the Agreement:
Section 6. “Term of Agreement”.
Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement, as follows:
Delete Section 6. “Term of Agreement” in its entirety, and replace it with the following:
6. Term of Agreement
This Agreement will become effective as to the Fund upon execution or, if later, the date that initial capital for the Fund is first provided to it and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect for two years from the date of its execution. With regard to any Series added to the Fund by execution of an Addendum to Schedule A, the term of this Agreement shall begin on the date of such execution. Thereafter, if not terminated as to a Series, this Agreement will continue as to each Series from year to year through September 30th of each successive year, provided that such continuation is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board of Managers by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined by the Act) of such Series with respect to which renewal is to be effected, and (ii) by a majority of the non-interested members of the Board of Managers by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal. Any approval of this Agreement or the renewal thereof with respect to a Series by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Series, or by the Board of Managers which shall include a majority of the non-interested members of the Board of Managers, shall be effective to continue this Agreement with respect to that Series notwithstanding (a) that this Agreement or the renewal thereof has not been so approved as to any other Series, or (b) that this Agreement or the renewal thereof has not been so approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund as a whole. However, the addition or deletion of a Series reflecting changes that have been formally approved by resolution by the Board of Managers will not require approval of an amendment to this Agreement by the Board of Managers.
In Witness Whereof, the Adviser and the Fund have caused this Amendment to be executed as of this 6th day of June 2014, effective June 4, 2014.
