  Schedule C  
 
  Fees to the Company  
 
1. Service Fee.  
 
All administrative or shareholder services to Contract owners shall be the responsibility of
ING Life or ING Financial solely and shall not be the responsibility of OFS, OFI, Distributor
or the Funds. OFI, OFS and Distributor recognize ING Life as sole shareholder of Fund
shares issued under this Participation Agreement. In consideration of the administrative
savings resulting from such arrangement, OFI and/or OFS agrees to pay ING Life on a
monthly basis at an annual fee rate of _____% (_______________ basis points) per
Oppenheimer fund investment account with assets invested in Class A, Class N or Class Y
shares of the Funds as set forth in the chart below. Such fee shall be calculated monthly
based on the average daily net assets in each such account for the month. The payment of
this fee shall not apply to loan repayment accounts or forfeiture accounts. The service fee is
intended to compensate ING Life for administrative services only and is not intended to
constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory or distribution services. ING Life
shall provide OFS an invoice via the OppenheimerFunds secured Alliance Trading website or
other mutually agreed upon electronic format after the end of each month, identifying ING
Financial as the broker-dealer of record and identifying representative of record, if
applicable, and certifying the number of actively funded participant accounts and assets
subject to the aforementioned fees and OFI and/or OFS, as applicable, shall make such
payment to ING Life within 30 business days of receipt of the invoice. Invoices submitted in
excess of 60 days of the time period to which the invoice relates are subject to non-payment.
Additions or adjustments to previously submitted invoices that are provided in excess of 60
days of the time period to which the invoice relates may also be subject to non-payment.
ING Life shall notify OFI and/or OFS within 15 business days of receipt of any invoice if
such invoice is deemed not to be in good order and ING Life intends to dispute any portion
of the fees invoiced. The notification shall identify the amounts being disputed and explain,
to the extent practicable, the dispute. The parties shall work together in good faith to resolve
all disputes and correct any errors to that payments may be processed promptly once all
parties agree to any revisions. For the avoidance of doubt the parties agree that ING shall not
invoice, nor shall it be entitled to receive any payment under this Agreement for any
Oppenheimer Fund investment accounts with assets invested in Class I shares of the Funds.
 
 
2. Rule 12b-1 Fees.  
 
Distributor may compensate dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions, under the
terms set forth in each applicable Fund’s Prospectus and distribution plan (“Rule 12b-1
Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b 1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Investment Company Act”), for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of
such entities’ customers that hold Fund shares. Such compensation is referred to herein as a
“12b-1 Service Fee.” The services to be provided in return for payment of a 12b-1 Service
Fee include, among others:  
 
(a) answering customer inquiries about the Fund and providing other
  personal service;  
 
  10 of 13 Revised as of 09.04.2008

 


 

(b) assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund;
 
(c) making the Funds available and printing and mailing of Fund sales
  literature.
 
In exchange for providing services to Contract owners that include but are not limited to
those set forth in the paragraph above, ING Financial shall be entitled to receive the 12b-1
Service Fee in accordance with the then current prospectuses of the Funds. For illustration
purposes only, 12b-1 Service Fee rates in effect as of October 1, 2012 are set forth in the
chart below. The payment of the 12b-1 Service Fee to Service Provider by or on behalf of a
Fund is subject to the limitations set forth in the applicable Rule 12b-1 plan and may be
reduced, revised or terminated altogether at any time at the discretion of that Fund’s board of
trustees or directors, as the case may be.

To  
PARTICIPATION 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 3 of the 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 Life or its affiliate through NSCC’s Mutual
Fund Profile System (“MFPS”) as well as e-mail directly to ING (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 Life or its affiliate by 7:30 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
Life 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 Life 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 Life or its affiliate prior to the Close of Trading on any
given Business Day will be sent to the Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement
(“DCC&S”) 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 Life’s or its affiliate’s compliance with the foregoing, ING Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 Life 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 Life or its affiliate no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same
 
12 of 13 Revised as of 09.04.2008

 


 

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.  
 
(d) NSCC will wire payment for net redemption orders by Fund, in immediately available
funds, to an NSCC settling bank account designated by ING Life 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 Life’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) In the event the NSCC is unavailable on any day or ING Life or its affiliate or Distributor
is otherwise unable, due to events beyond its reasonable control, to meet the NSCC
deadline for the transmission of purchase or redemption orders or provision of
information as set forth in Sections 1(a) through 1(e) of this Exhibit I, such party may
transmit such orders and make such payments for purchases and redemptions directly to
Distributor or to ING Life or its affiliate, as applicable, as is otherwise provided in
Section 3 of the Agreement.  
 
(g) These procedures are subject to any additional terms in each Fund’s prospectus and
statement of additional information and the requirements of applicable law. The
Distributor, OFI, and/or 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 Life 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 I. In the event of any conflict
between the Agreement and this First Amendment, this First Amendment shall govern.
