PART C

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15.Indemnification

Article VIII of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that each of its Trustees and Officers (including persons who serve at the Registrant's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Registrant has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (each, a "Covered Person") shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by reason of being or having  been such a Covered Person, except that no Covered Person shall be indemnified against any liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provides the following:

The Trust shall provide any indemnification required by applicable law and shall indemnify Trustees, officers, agents and employees as follows:

(a) The Trust shall indemnify any current or former Trustee, officer and agents of the Trust (including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust as any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered  Person") who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right of the Trust) by reason of the fact that such person is or was such Trustee or officer or an employee or agent of the Trust, or is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent authorized and in the manner permitted by applicable federal and state law, provided he or she acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not reasonably believe his or her actions to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Trust shall indemnify any current and former Trustee or officer of the Trust who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was such Trustee or officer or an employee or agent of the Trust, or is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, Trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent authorized and in the manner permitted by applicable federal and state law, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit.

(c) To the extent that a Trustee or officer of the Trust has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized and in the manner permitted by applicable federal and state law against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity for the determination as to the standard of conduct as provided in subparagraph (d).

(d) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, writ or proceeding may be paid by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in the particular case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Trustee or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Trust as authorized herein.  Such determination must be made by disinterested Trustees or independent legal counsel.  Prior to any payment being made pursuant to this paragraph, a majority of a quorum of the disinterested, non-party Trustees of the Trust, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

(e) The Trust shall advance the expenses of Covered Persons who are parties to any Proceeding to the fullest extent authorized, and in the manner permitted, by applicable federal and state law.  For purposes of this paragraph, "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

(f) Pursuant and subject to Article VI, the Trust shall indemnify each Covered Person against, or advance the expenses of any Covered Person for, the amount of any deductible provided in any liability insurance policy maintained by the Trust.

(g) Agents and employees of the Trust who are not Trustees or officers of the Trust may be indemnified under the same standards and procedures set forth above, in the discretion of the Board.

(h) Any indemnification pursuant to this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(i) Nothing in the Declaration or in these By-Laws shall be deemed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against any liability to the Trust or to its Shareholders to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's office.

(j) The Trust shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person, whether or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article.  Nevertheless, insurance will not be purchased or maintained by the Trust if the purchase or maintenance of such insurance would result in the indemnification of any person in contravention of any rule or regulation and/or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing indemnification arrangements are subject to the provisions of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In addition to the above indemnification, Jackson National Life Insurance Company extends its indemnification of its own officers, directors and employees to cover such persons' activities as officers, trustees or employees of the Registrant.
