            WHEREAS, following the reorganization of each applicable series portfolio of the Munder Series Trust into a corresponding series of VP Funds, as applicable, the Agreement, together with each such amendment, was assigned to VP by agreement dated September 3, 2014;

 

            WHEREAS, Voya and the VP Funds are now parties to the Agreement; and

 

            WHEREAS, the parties desire to add Class I shares to the list of classes of VP Fund shares covered by the Agreement;

 

            WHEREAS, Class I shares do not pay Rule 12b-1 fees or finders fees to intermediaries; and

 

            WHEREAS, the parties desire to include the Distributor as a party to the Agreement;

           

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:

 

 

1.         The Distributor is hereby added as a party to the Agreement for the purposes of effecting all fee payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

2.         Section 5 of the Agreement entitled “12b-1 Fees” is hereby amended as follows:

 

                  “5. 12b-1 Fees.

 

         To compensate Voya Financial for its distribution of Fund Shares or administrative services related to Fund Shares, Distributor shall make quarterly payments to Voya Financial, as specified in Schedule A (attached), based on the average net assets invested in the Funds through the Contracts or through Voya Retirement’s or Voya Institutional’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter.  Distributor will make such payments to Voya Financial within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter.  Each payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the fee payable to Voya Financial for the quarter and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by Voya Financial. If required by a Plan or by applicable law, Voya Financial shall have the right to allocate to a Plan or to Participant accounts in a Plan all or a portion of such 12b-1 fees, or to use 12b-1 fees it collects from Distributor to offset other fees payable by the Plan to Voya Financial.”
