Ladies and Gentlemen:
By this letter dated July 14, 2023, we have agreed to waive a portion of the management fee payable to us under the Investment Management Agreement, dated November 18, 2014, as amended and restated on May 1, 2015, between Voya Investments, LLC ("VIL") and Voya Mutual Funds ("VMF") (the "Agreement"), with respect to Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the "Fund"), a series of VMF. By this letter, we agree to waive that fee, as indicated in the table below, for the period from the close of business on July 14, 2023 through March 1, 2025.
This waiver (the "Waiver") is "outside" the Fund's expense limit arrangements under a separate expense limitation agreement (the "ELA"). This means that the Waiver does not reduce the Fund's net operating expense ratio before the ELA is applied. The Waiver is deducted after the ELA is applied.
VIL acknowledges that any fees waived during the term of this Agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment at any time in the future.
