AMENDED AND RESTATED
SELLING AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
AND
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of this 1st day of May, 2008 by and among
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ING Life”), ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“ING
Financial”) (collectively, “ING”), and Fred Alger & Company, Incorporated (“Distributor”),
acting as agent for the registered open-end management investment companies whose shares are
or may be underwritten by Distributor (each a “Fund” or collectively the “Funds”) amends and
restates in its entirety the Selling and Services Agreement and Fund Participation Agreement
executed between the parties as of June 11, 2007.

     WHEREAS, Distributor acts as principal underwriter for the Funds; and

     WHEREAS, ING Life is an insurance company that issues annuity contracts to, and/or
provides various recordkeeping and other administrative services to, certain plans under Sections
401, 403(b), 457 or 408 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), certain
nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, and custodial accounts under Section
403(b)(7) or 408 of the Code (collectively, “Plans”); and

     WHEREAS, such Plans may invest in the Funds directly, or alternatively, certain of such
Plans may invest in the Funds indirectly through annuity contracts and funding agreements
issued by ING Life (the “Contracts”); and

     WHEREAS, ING Life has established separate accounts for all of its Variable Annuity and
Variable Life Accounts and may establish such other accounts as may be set forth in Schedule A
attached hereto (the “Separate Accounts”) to serve as an investment vehicle for the Contracts;
and

     WHEREAS, ING Life will provide various administrative and shareholder services in
connection with the investment by the Plans in the Funds or in the Contracts; and

     WHEREAS, ING Financial will distribute to Plans shares of the Funds or units of the
Separate Accounts that may in turn invest in the Funds;

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.  Investment of Plan Assets.

     (a) With respect to Plans that invest in the Funds directly, ING Financial represents that
it is authorized under the Plans to implement the investment of Plan assets in the name of an
appropriately designated nominee of each Plan (“Nominee”) in shares of investment companies
or other investment vehicles specified by a sponsor, an investment adviser, an administrative
committee, or other fiduciary as designated by a Plan (“Plan Representative”) upon the direction
of a Plan participant or beneficiary (“Participant”). The parties acknowledge and agree that
selections of particular investment companies or other investment vehicles are made by Plan
Representatives or Participants, who may change their respective selections from time to time in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.


      (b) With respect to Plans that invest in the Funds indirectly through the Contracts, ING
Life represents that each of the Separate Accounts is a separate account under Connecticut
Insurance law and that it has registered or will register each of the Separate Accounts (except for
such Accounts for which no such registration is required) as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), to serve as an investment vehicle for the
Contracts. Each Contract provides for the allocation of net amounts received by ING Life to a
Separate Account for investment in the shares of one or more specified open-end management
investment companies available through that Separate Account as underlying investment media.
Selection of a particular investment management company and changes therein from time to time
are made by the contract owner or Participant, as applicable under a particular Contract.
 
2.       Omnibus Account.
 
  The parties agree that, with respect to each Fund, a single omnibus account held in the
name of the Nominee shall be maintained for those Plan assets directed for investment directly in
the Fund, and a single omnibus account held in the name of ING Life shall be maintained for
those Plan assets directed for investment in the Fund through the Contracts (collectively, the
“Accounts.”) ING Life as issuer of the Contracts or as service agent for the Plans, shall facilitate
purchase and sale transactions with respect to the Accounts in accordance with the Agreement.
 
3. Services to be Performed by ING.
 
  ING may be responsible for performing shareholder account servicing functions, which
shall include without limitation:
 
     (a) making the funds available under the Contracts or other arrangements offered by
    ING;
 
     (b) assisting in processing customer purchase and redemption requests;
 
     (c) answering customer inquiries regarding account status and history;
 
     (d) assisting customers in designating and changing dividend options, account
    designations and addresses;
 
     (e) adopting and maintaining appropriate security measures for identifying
    customers;
 
     (f) providing periodic statements showing a customer’s account balances and, to the
    extent practicable, integration of such information with other customer
    transactions otherwise effected with or through the ING;
 
     (g) furnishing (either separately or on an integrated basis with other reports sent to a
    customer by ING) statements and confirmations of all purchases and redemption
    requests as may be required by agreement between ING and the customers;
 
     (h) processing customer purchase and redemption requests for Shares and placing
    purchase and redemption instructions with the Funds’ transfer agent, including
    any designee thereof, (“Transfer Agent”) in the manner described in Section 4
    hereof;

                                                                          2


     (i) providing subaccounting services and maintaining accurate subaccounting records
    regarding Shares beneficially owned by customers;
 
     (j) updating customer records to reflect dividend payments;
 
     (k) transmitting proxy statements, annual and semi-annual reports, the Funds’ then
    current prospectuses (in each case, the “Prospectus”) and other communications
    from the Funds to customers as may be required by law and by agreement
    between ING and the customers; and
 
     (l) providing such other related services upon which the Distributor and ING may
    mutually agree.
 
ING shall provide all personnel, facilities and equipment reasonably necessary in order for it to
perform the functions described in this paragraph with respect to its Customers. ING shall
exercise reasonable care in performing all such services.
 
4.      Pricing Information, Orders, Settlement.
 
     (a) Distributor will make shares available to be purchased by the Nominee or by ING
Life, as applicable, on behalf of the Accounts, at the net asset value applicable to each order;
provided, however, that the Plans or the Separate Accounts meet the criteria for purchasing
shares of the Funds at net asset value as described in the Funds’ prospectuses. Fund shares shall
be purchased and redeemed on a net basis for such Plans or such Separate Accounts in such
quantity and at such time determined by ING or the Nominee to correspond with investment
instructions received by ING from contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants,
provided, however, that the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the “Trustees”) may upon
reasonable notice to ING, refuse to sell shares of any Funds to any person, or suspend, or
terminate the offering of any shares of Funds if such action is required by law or by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, acting in good faith and
in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund shares and is acting in compliance with their
fiduciary obligations under federal and/or any applicable state laws.
 
     (b) Distributor agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to ING Financial for each Fund:
(i) confirmed net asset value information as of the close of trading (normally 4:00 p.m., East
Coast time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“Close of Trading”) on each business day that the
New York Stock Exchange is open for business (“Business Day”) or at such other time as the net
asset value of a Fund is calculated as disclosed in the relevant then current prospectus(es) in a
format that includes the Fund’s name and the change from the last calculated net asset value, (ii)
dividend and capital gains information as it arises, and (iii) in the case of a fixed income fund,
the daily accrual or the distribution rate factor. Distributor shall provide or cause to be provided
to ING Financial such information by 6:30 p.m., East Coast time.
 
     (c) ING Financial, as agent for the Funds solely for the purposes expressed herein shall
receive from contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants for acceptance as of the Close
of Trading on each Business Day orders for the purchase of shares of the Funds, exchange
orders, and redemption requests and redemption directions with respect to shares of the Funds
held by the Nominee or by ING Life on behalf of its Separate Accounts (“Instructions”). In
addition, ING Financial shall (i) transmit to Distributor such Instructions no later than 9:00 a.m.,
East Coast time on the next following Business Day, and (ii) upon acceptance of any such
Instructions, communicate such acceptance to the contract owners, Plan Representatives or Plan
 
3


Participants, as appropriate (“Confirmation”). The Business Day on which such Instructions are
received in proper form by ING Financial and time stamped by the Close of Trading will be the
date as of which Fund shares shall be deemed purchased, exchanged, or redeemed as a result of
such Instructions (“Trade Date”). Instructions received in proper form by ING Financial and
time stamped after the Close of Trading on any given Business Day shall be treated as if received
on the next following Business Day. ING Financial agrees that all Instructions received by ING
Financial, which will be transmitted to Distributor for processing as of a particular Business Day,
will have been received and time stamped prior to the Close of Trading on that previous Business
Day.
 
             (d) ING Financial will wire payment, or arrange for payment to be wired, for such
purchase orders, in immediately available funds, to a Fund custodial account or accounts
designated by Distributor, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m., East
Coast time on the same Business Day after the Trade Date.
 
             (e) Distributor or its designees will wire payment, or arrange for payment to be wired, for
redemption orders, in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by ING
Financial, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. East Coast time on the
next Business Day on which such purchase orders are made by ING in conformance with Section
4(c).
 
             (f) In lieu of applicable provisions set forth in paragraphs 4(c) through 4(e) above, the
parties may agree to execute orders and wire payments for purchases and redemptions through
National Securities Clearing Corporation’s Fund/SERV System, in which case such activities
will be governed by the provisions set forth in Exhibit I to this Agreement. In addition, the
parties may also provide pricing information in accordance with Exhibit I.
 
             (g) Upon Distributor’s request, ING shall provide copies of historical records relating to
transactions between the Funds and the contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants
investing in such Funds, written communications regarding the Funds to or from such persons,
and other materials, in each case, as may reasonably be requested to enable Distributor or any
other designated entity, including without limitation, auditors, investment advisers, or transfer
agents of the Funds to monitor and review the services being provided under this Agreement, or
to comply with any request of a governmental body or self-regulatory organization or a
shareholder. ING also agrees that ING will permit Distributor or the Funds, or any duly
designated representative to have reasonable access to ING’s personnel and records in order to
facilitate the monitoring of the quality of the services being provided under this Agreement.
 
             (h) ING Financial shall assume responsibility as herein described for any loss to
Distributor or to a Fund caused by a cancellation or correction made to an Instruction by a
contract owner, Plan Representative or Participant subsequent to the date as of which such
Instruction has been received by ING Financial and originally relayed to Distributor, and ING
Financial will immediately pay such loss to Distributor or such Fund upon ING Financial’s
receipt of written notification, with supporting data.
 
             (i) Distributor shall indemnify and hold ING harmless, from the effective date of this
Agreement, against any amount ING is required to pay to contract owners, Plans, Plan
Representatives or Participants due to: (i) an incorrect calculation of a Fund’s daily net asset
value, dividend rate, or capital gains distribution rate or (ii) incorrect or late reporting of the daily
net asset value, dividend rate, or capital gain distribution rate of a Fund, upon written notification
by ING, with supporting data, to Distributor. In addition, the Fund or the Distributor shall be
 
4


liable to ING for systems and out of pocket costs incurred by ING in making a contract owner’s,
a Plan’s or a Participant’s account whole, if such costs or expenses are a result of the Fund’s
failure to provide timely or correct net asset values, dividend and capital gains or financial
information. If a mistake is caused in supplying such information or confirmations, which
results in a reconciliation with incorrect information, the amount required to make a contract
owner’s or a Plan’s or a Participant’s account whole shall be borne by the party providing the
incorrect information, regardless of when the error is corrected.
 
  (j) Each party shall notify the other of any errors or omissions in any information,
including a net asset value and distribution information set forth above, and interruptions in or
delay or unavailability of, the means of transmittal of any such information as promptly as
possible. ING Financial and Distributor agree to maintain reasonable errors and omissions
insurance coverage commensurate with each party’s respective responsibilities under this
Agreement.
 
5.      Servicing Fees.
 
  The provision of shareholder and administrative services, described in Section 3 hereof, to
contract owners or to the Plans shall be the responsibility of ING Financial, ING Life or the
Nominee and shall not be the responsibility of Distributor. The Nominee, or ING Life on behalf
of its Separate Accounts, will be recognized as the sole shareholder of Fund shares purchased
under this Agreement. It is further recognized that there will be a substantial savings in
administrative expenses and recordkeeping expenses by virtue of having one shareholder rather
than multiple shareholders. In consideration of the administrative savings resulting from such
arrangement, Distributor agrees to pay to ING Life a servicing fee based on the annual rate of
0.25% (0.0625% quarterly) of the average net assets invested in the Funds through the Contracts
or through ING Life’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. Distributor will make
such payments to ING Life 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 ING
Life for the quarter and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by ING Life.
If required by a Plan or by applicable law, ING Life shall have the right to allocate to a Plan or to
Participant accounts in a Plan all or a portion of such servicing fees, or to use servicing fees it
collects from Distributor to offset other fees payable by the Plan to ING Life.
 
6. 12b-1 Fees.
 
  To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Fund Shares, Distributor shall make
quarterly payments to ING Financial based on the annual rate of 0.25% (0.0625% quarterly) for
A and N shares and the annual rate of 0.50% (0.125% quarterly) for R shares of the average net
assets invested in the Funds through the Contracts or through ING Life’s arrangements with
Plans in each calendar quarter. Distributor will make such payments to ING 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 ING Financial for the quarter and such
other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by ING Financial. If required by a Plan or
by applicable law, ING 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 ING Financial.

7.      Expenses.
 
  Distributor shall make available for reimbursement certain out-of-pocket expenses ING
Life incurs in connection with providing shareholder services to contract owners or the Plans.
These expenses include printing costs and actual postage paid by ING Life in connection with
mailing updated prospectuses, supplements and financial reports to contract owners or Plan
Representatives or Participants for which ING Life provides shareholder services hereunder, and
all costs incurred by ING Life associated with proxies for the Fund, including proxy preparation,
group authorization letters, programming for tabulation and necessary materials (including
postage). Except as otherwise agreed in writing, ING shall bear all other expenses incidental to
the performance of the services described herein. Distributor shall, however, provide ING, or at
ING’s request, the Plan, with such sufficient copies of relevant prospectuses for all Participants
making an initial Fund purchase as well as relevant prospectuses, prospectus supplements and
periodic reports to shareholders, and other material as shall be reasonably requested by ING to
disseminate to Plan participants who purchase shares of the Funds.
 
8. Termination.
 
This Agreement shall terminate as to the maintenance of the Account:
 
     (a) At the option of either ING Life, ING Financial or Distributor upon six (6) months
advance written notice to the other parties;
 
     (b) At the option of ING Life or ING Financial, if shares of the Funds are not available
for any reason to meet the investment requirements of the Contracts or the Plans; provided,
however, that prompt advance notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by the
terminating entity;
 
     (c) At the option of either ING Financial or Distributor, upon institution of formal
disciplinary or investigative proceedings against ING Financial, Distributor or the Funds by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), or any other regulatory body;
 
     (d) At the option of Distributor, if Distributor shall reasonably determine in good faith
that shares of the Funds are not being offered in conformity with the terms of this Agreement;
 
     (e) At the option of ING, upon termination of the management agreement between the
Fund and its investment adviser; written notice of such termination shall be promptly furnished
to ING;
 
     (f) Upon the determination of ING Life to substitute for the Fund’s shares the shares of
another investment company in accordance with the terms of the applicable Contracts. ING Life
will give 60 days’ written notice to the Fund and the Distributor of any decision to replace the
Fund’s shares;
 
     (g) Upon assignment of this Agreement by any party, unless made with the written
consent of all other parties hereto; provided, however, that ING Financial and ING Life may
assign, without consent of Distributor, their respective duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement to any of their affiliates, and provided, further, that ING Financial or ING Life may
enter into subcontracts with other dealers for the solicitation of sales of shares of the Funds
without the consent of Distributor, or
 
6


  (h) If the Fund’s shares are not registered, issued or sold in conformance with federal
law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as an investment vehicle for the Contracts or
the Plans; provided, however, that prompt notice shall be given by any party should such
situation occur.
 
9.      Continuation of Agreement.
 
  Termination as the result of any cause listed in Section 8 hereof shall not affect the Funds’
respective obligations to continue to maintain the Account as an investment option for Contracts
then in force for which its shares serve or may serve as the underlying medium, or for Plans
electing to invest in the Funds prior to the termination of this Agreement. For avoidance of
doubt, servicing fee will continue to be payable under the terms in Section 5 (Servicing Fees)
after the termination, for as long as fund assets are held through the contracts or through ING
Life’s arrangement with plans.
 
10. Advertising and Related Materials.
 
  (a) Advertising and literature with respect to the Funds prepared by ING Financial or the
Nominee or its agents for use in marketing shares of the Funds to contract owners or Plans
(except any material that simply lists the Funds’ names) shall be submitted to Distributor for
review and approval before such material is used with the general public or any contract owner,
Plan, Plan Representative, or Participant. Distributor shall advise the submitting party in writing
within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such materials of its approval or disapproval of such
materials.
 
  (b) Distributor will provide to ING at least one complete copy of all prospectuses,
statements of additional information, annual and semiannual reports and proxy statements, other
related documents, and all amendments or supplements to any of the above documents that relate
to the Funds promptly after the filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory
authorities. Distributor will also provide to ING an electronic copy of all prospectuses,
statements of additional information, annual and semiannual reports, and all amendments or
supplements suitable for posting on ING’s websites at our discretion.
 
  (c) Distributor will provide via Excel spreadsheet diskette format or in electronic
transmission to ING at least quarterly portfolio information necessary to update Fund profiles
within seven business days following the end of each quarter.

  ING or the Nominee will distribute to contract owners, Plan Representatives or Participants
all proxy materials furnished by Distributor or its designees for the Funds. ING and the
Nominee shall not oppose or interfere with the solicitation of proxies for Fund shares held for
such beneficial owners.

12. Indemnification.
 
         (a) ING agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Funds, Distributor and each of their
directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Funds or their
investment adviser within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Funds, Distributor or any such director, officer,
employee, agent, or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of, or are based upon, the
provision of administrative services by ING Life under this Agreement, or (ii) result from a
breach of a material provision of this Agreement. ING will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by Distributor or any such director, officer, employee, agent, or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that ING will not be liable for indemnification hereunder to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Distributor or any such director, officer, employee, agent or
any controlling person herein defined in performing their obligations under this Agreement.
 
         (b) Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of ING Financial and ING
Life, the Nominee and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if
any, who controls ING Financial and ING Life and the Nominee within the meaning of the 1933
Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which ING Financial or ING Life, the
Nominee, or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become
subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
registration statement, prospectus or sales literature of the Funds or arise out of, or are based
upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact that is necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or (ii) result from a breach of a material provision of this
Agreement. Distributor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by ING
Financial or ING Life, the Nominee, or any such director, officer, employee, agent, or
controlling person in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that will not be liable for indemnification hereunder to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of ING Financial or ING Life, the Nominee or their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, or any controlling person herein defined in the
performance of their obligations under this Agreement.
 
          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the
commencement of action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 12. In case any such
action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish to, assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 12 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.

        (c) Restrictions on “Excessive Trading.” The Funds have adopted policies designed to

or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Fund shares by an individual participant or contract
owner who has been identified by the Distributor or the Funds as having engaged in transactions
in Fund shares that violate market timing policies established by the Funds. The parties shall use
their best efforts, and shall reasonably cooperate with each other to prevent future market timing
and frequent trading.

part of said shareholder information agreement.

writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by telex, facsimile, express delivery or
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the party or parties to

EXHIBIT I
To
SELLING AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
Procedures for Pricing and Order/Settlement Through National Securities Clearing Corporation’s
Mutual Fund Profile System and Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and Registration Verification
System
 
1. As provided in Section 4(f) of the amended and restated Selling and Services Agreement and
Fund Participation Agreement, the parties hereby agree to provide pricing information, execute
orders and wire payments for purchases and redemptions of Fund shares through National
Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) and its subsidiary systems as follows:
 
(a)    Distributor or the Funds will furnish to ING Financial or its affiliate through NSCC’s Mutual
         Fund Profile System (“MFPS”) as well as via fax directly to ING at 860-723-9601 (1) the
         most current net asset value information for each Fund, (2) a schedule of anticipated dividend
         and distribution payment dates for each Fund, which is subject to change without prior
         notice, ordinary income and capital gain dividend rates on the Fund’s ex-date, and (3) in the
         case of fixed income funds that declare daily dividends, the daily accrual or the interest rate
         factor. All such information shall be furnished to ING Financial or its affiliate by 6:30 p.m.
         Eastern Time on each business day that the Fund is open for business (each a “Business
         Day”). Changes in pricing information will be communicated to both NSCC and ING
         Financial or its affiliate.
 
(b)    Upon receipt of Fund purchase, exchange and redemption instructions for acceptance as of
         the time at which a Fund’s net asset value is calculated as specified in such Fund’s
         prospectus (“Close of Trading”) on each Business Day (“Instructions”), and upon its
         determination that there are good funds with respect to Instructions involving the purchase of
         Shares, ING Financial or its affiliate will calculate the net purchase or redemption order for
         each Fund. Orders for net purchases or net redemptions derived from Instructions received
         by ING Financial or its affiliate prior to the Close of Trading on any given Business Day will
         be sent to the Defined Contribution Interface of NSCC’s Mutual Fund Settlement, Entry and
         Registration Verification System (“Fund/SERV”) by 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next
         Business Day. Subject to ING Financial’s or its affiliate’s compliance with the foregoing,
         ING Financial or its affiliate will be considered the agent of the Distributor and the Funds,
         and the Business Day on which Instructions are received by ING Financial or its affiliate in
         proper form prior to the Close of Trading will be the date as of which shares of the Funds are
         deemed purchased, exchanged or redeemed pursuant to such Instructions. Instructions
         received in proper form by ING Financial or its affiliate after the Close of Trading on any
         given Business Day will be treated as if received on the next following Business Day.
         Dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested at net asset value in
         accordance with the Fund’s then current prospectuses.
 
(c)     ING Financial or its affiliate will wire payment for net purchase orders by the Fund’s NSCC
         Firm Number, in immediately available funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated
         by ING Financial or its affiliate no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same Business
         Day such purchase orders are communicated to NSCC. For purchases of shares of daily
         dividend accrual funds, those shares will not begin to accrue dividends until the day the
         payment for those shares is received.
 
B-1

(d)    NSCC will wire payment for net redemption orders by Fund, in immediately available funds,
         to an NSCC settling bank account designated by ING Financial or its affiliate, by 5:00 p.m.
         Eastern Time on the Business Day such redemption orders are communicated to NSCC,
         except as provided in a Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.
 
(e)    With respect to (c) or (d) above, if Distributor does not send a confirmation of ING
         Financial’s or its affiliate’s purchase or redemption order to NSCC by the applicable deadline
         to be included in that Business Day’s payment cycle, payment for such purchases or
         redemptions will be made the following Business Day.
 
(f)      If on any day ING Financial or its affiliate or Distributor is unable to meet the NSCC
         deadline for the transmission of purchase or redemption orders, it may at its option transmit
         such orders and make such payments for purchases and redemptions directly to Distributor or
         to ING Financial or its affiliate, as applicable, as is otherwise provided in Section 4 of the
         Agreement.
 
(g)     These procedures are subject to any additional terms in each Fund’s prospectus and the
         requirements of applicable law. The Funds reserve the right, at their discretion and without
         notice, to suspend the sale of shares or withdraw the sale of shares of any Fund.
 
2. ING Financial or its affiliate, Distributor and clearing agents (if applicable) are each required
to have entered into membership agreements with NSCC and met all requirements to participate
in the MFPS and Fund/SERV systems before these procedures may be utilized. Each party will
be bound by the terms of their membership agreement with NSCC and will perform any and all
duties, functions, procedures and responsibilities assigned to it and as otherwise established by
NSCC applicable to the MFPS and Fund/SERV system and the Networking Matrix Level
utilized.
 
3. Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms defined in the Agreement shall
have the same meaning as in this Exhibit.

EXHIBIT II
 
ING “Excessive Trading” Policy
 
The ING family of insurance companies (“ING”), as providers of multi-fund variable insurance
and retirement products, has adopted this Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of
the various fund families which make their funds available through our variable insurance and
retirement products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with
Section 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. ING’s current definition of
Excessive Trading and our policy with respect to such trading activity is outlined below.
 
1.     ING actively monitors fund transfer and reallocation activity within its variable insurance
and retirement products to identify Excessive Trading.
 
  ING currently defines Excessive Trading as:
       a. More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds)
    within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is
    referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the
same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet ING’s definition of
Excessive Trading; or
       b. Six round-trips within a twelve month period.
 
  The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is
  excessive:
       a.     Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new
purchase payments, withdrawals and loans);
       b.       Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or
    scheduled asset allocation programs;
       c. Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
       d. Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund
  shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
       e. Transactions initiated by a member of the ING family of insurance companies.
 
2. If ING determines that an individual has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior
  round-trip involving the same fund, ING will send them a letter warning that another sale of
  that same fund within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be
  Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund
  transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit (VRU),
  telephone calls to the ING Customer Service Center, or other electronic trading medium that
  ING may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if
  ING determines that an individual has made five round-trips within a twelve month period,
  ING will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within
  twelve months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip in the prior twelve month period
  will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their
  Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of
  the warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to
  initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment
  adviser for that individual. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s
  trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading
  activity.
 
1

3.   If ING determines that an individual has used one or more of its products to engage in
  Excessive Trading, ING will send a second letter to the individual. This letter will state that
  the individual’s Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six
  months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those which involve the
  fund whose shares were involved in the Excessive Trading activity, will then have to be
  initiated by providing written instructions to ING via regular U.S. mail. During the six month
  suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges
  will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer
  and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s trading activity
  may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the Excessive Trading activity.
 
4. Following the six month suspension period during which no additional Excessive Trading is
  identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. ING will continue to
  monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future Excessive Trading will
  result in an indefinite suspension of the Electronic Trading Privileges. Excessive Trading
  activity during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of
  the Electronic Trading Privileges.
 
5. ING reserves the right to limit fund trading or reallocation privileges with respect to any
  individual, with or without prior notice, if ING determines that the individual’s trading
  activity is disruptive, regardless of whether the individual’s trading activity falls within the
  definition of Excessive Trading set forth above. Also, ING’s failure to send or an
  individual’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under this
  Policy will not prevent ING from suspending that individual’s Electronic Trading Privileges
  or taking any other action provided for in this Policy.
 
6. Each fund available through ING’s variable insurance and retirement products, either by
  prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading
  policy. ING reserves the right, without prior notice, to implement restrictions and/or block
  future purchases of a fund by an individual who the fund has identified as violating its
  excessive/frequent trading policy. All such restrictions and/or blocking of future fund
  purchases will be done in accordance with the directions ING receives from the fund.
