Dear Xx. Xxxxx:
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, dated May 7, 2013, as amended, between ING Investors Trust and Directed Services LLC (the “Agreement”), we hereby notify you of our intention to modify the breakpoints to the annual investment management fee for ING High Yield Portfolio (formerly ING PIMCO High Yield Portfolio, the “Portfolio”), effective as of the close of business on February 4, 2014.
Upon your acceptance, the Agreement will be modified to give effect to the foregoing by amending Schedule B of the Agreement. The Amended Schedule B, which indicates the additional breakpoints to the annual investment management fee for the Portfolio, is attached hereto.
Schedule A (the “Amended Schedule A”) of the Agreement and the Amended Schedule B have also been updated: 1) to reflect the name change for the Portfolio noted above and the name change of ING PIMCO Total Return Bond Portfolio to ING Total Return Bond Portfolio; and 2) to reflect the removal of ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value Portfolio, because this series recently merged away.
Please signify your acceptance to the modified breakpoints to the annual investment management fee for the aforementioned Portfolio by signing below.
| Very sincerely, |
