Xxxx Price Associates, Inc., on behalf of VY® X. Xxxx Price Growth Equity Portfolio, a series of Voya Partners, Inc. (“TRP Growth Equity Portfolio,” and together with TRP Equity Income Portfolio, the “Portfolios”), the sub-advisory fee rates for the Portfolios were reduced on June 1, 2010, and the sub-advisory fee rate for TRP Equity Income Portfolio was further reduced on May 1, 2011. On November 18, 2014, X.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination or modification of this letter agreement requires approval by the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Registrants.
