Deferred Combination Variable and Fixed Annuity Contracts

Separate Account NY-B of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York

Deferred Combination Variable and Fixed Annuity Prospectus

ING EMPIRE TRADITIONS VARIABLE ANNUITY 

<R>
April 28 , 2008 

</R> <R>

This prospectus describes ING Empire Traditions Variable Annuity, a deferred combination variable and fixed
annuity contract (the “Contract”) offered for sale by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“ReliaStar of
NY,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) through Separate Account NY-B (the “Separate Account”). The Contract is
available in connection with certain retirement plans that qualify for special federal income tax treatment (“qualified
Contracts”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), as well as those that do not
qualify for such treatment (“non-qualified Contracts”).

The Contract provides a means for you to allocate your premium payments and any associated premium credits,
if applicable, in one or more subaccounts, each of which invest in a single investment portfolio. You may also
allocate premium payments and any associated premium credits, if applicable, to our Fixed Interest Division with
guaranteed interest periods. Your contract value will vary daily to reflect the investment performance of the
investment portfolio(s) you select and any interest credited to your allocations in the Fixed Interest Division. Some
guaranteed interest periods or subaccounts may not be available. The investment portfolios available under your
Contract are listed on the back of this cover.

You have a right to return a Contract within 10 days after you receive it for a refund of the adjusted contract
value, less any premium credits, if applicable (which may be more or less than the premium payments you paid).
Longer free look periods apply in certain situations.

Replacing an existing annuity with the Contract may not be beneficial to you. Your existing annuity may
be subject to fees or penalties on surrender, and the Contract may have new charges.

This prospectus provides information that you should know before investing and should be kept for future
reference. A Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), dated April 28 , 2008 , has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is available without charge upon request. To obtain a copy of
this document, write to our Customer Service Center at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271 or call (800)
366-0066, or access the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov). When looking for information regarding the contracts
offered through the prospectus, you may find it useful to use the number assigned to the registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933. The number is 333-85618. The table of contents of the SAI is on the last page of this
prospectus and the SAI is made part of this prospectus by reference.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed
upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Contract has a premium credit option that is available for an additional charge. The expenses for a
contract providing a premium credit, as this Contract does, may be higher than for contracts not providing a
premium credit. Over time, and under certain circumstances, the amount of the premium credit may be more
than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium credit. See “The Annuity Contract –
Additional Credit to Premium” for further information about the terms of the premium credit option. See
“Charges and Fees – Charges Deducted from the Subaccounts – Premium Credit Option Charge” for further
information about the additional fees and charges associated with the premium credit option.

</R>

Allocations to a subaccount investing in a Trust or Fund (investment portfolio) is not a bank deposit and
is not insured or guaranteed by any bank or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the Contract. See “Other
Contract Provisions – Selling the Contract” for further information about the amount of compensation we
pay.

This prospectus will be delivered to prospective purchasers in connection with sales occurring on 
and after April 28 , 2008, as well as to owners having purchased the Contract earlier. 
The Contract is sold on a continuous basis. And the prospectus is updated at least annually,

or a rider; or altering administrative procedures. The Company may also make subaccount

1 Optional rider charges are expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. The basis 
     for an optional rider charge may be a charge base, benefit base or contract value, as applicable. Optional rider 
     charges are deducted from the contract value in your subaccount allocations. You may add only one optional 
     rider to your Contract. 
 
2 The MGAB Charge Base is calculated based on total premiums and any premium credits, if applicable, within a 
     two-year period from the rider date. Please see “Charges and Fees - Optional Rider Charges – Minimum 
     Guaranteed Accumulation Benefit (MGAB)” and “Living Benefit Riders – Minimum Guaranteed Accumulation 
     Benefit Rider (the “MGAB” rider)” later in this prospectus for more information. 
 
3 The MGIB Benefit Base is equal to the greater of the MGIB Rollup Base and the MGIB Ratchet Base and is 
     calculated based on eligible premiums and premium credits, if applicable. Please see “Charges and Fees – 
     Optional Rider Charges – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit (MGIB)” and “ 
     Living Benefit Riders – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”)” later in this 
     prospectus for more information. 
 
4 The ING LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on premium, excluding any premium credits, if this rider is 
     elected at contract issue. The ING LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on contract value, excluding any 
     premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months, if this rider is added after contract issue. The current 
     annual charge can change upon a reset after your first five contract years. But you will never pay more than new 
     issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. Please see “Charges and Fees – Optional Rider 
     Charges – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING LifePay Plus) Rider Charge” and 
     “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING LifePay Plus) 
     Rider” later in this prospectus. 
 
5 The ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on premium, excluding any premium credits, if this rider is 
     elected at contract issue. The ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on contract value, excluding any 
     premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months, if this rider is added after contract issue. The current 
     annual charge can change upon a reset after your first five contract years. But you will never pay more than new 
     issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. Please see “Charges and Fees – Optional Rider 
     Charges – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING Joint LifePay Plus) Rider 
     Charge” and “Living Benefit Riders – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING 
     Joint LifePay Plus) Rider” later in the prospectus. 
 
 
 
 
      
      
      
 
 
 
 
      
      
      

The next two tables show the total annual charges you could pay based on the amounts you have invested in
the subaccounts (unless otherwise indicated), for the Contract and each death benefit and the most expensive
combination of riders possible. Maximum and current charges are shown, but not the Annual Contract
Administrative Charge. Also, these tables do not show the Trust or Fund Expenses. Please note that the bases for
some charges may differ somewhat. For example, the charge for the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is based on the
ING Joint LifePay Plus Base, which can be higher than contract value, leading to higher charges than would be the
case if it were based on contract value. Nevertheless, for purposes of these tables, we have assumed that the value
of the amounts invested in the subaccounts and the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base are both the same as the contract
value. The charge for the Premium Credit Option lasts for your first seven contract years following the credit.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by a Trust or Fund that you
may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. More detail concerning each Trust or Fund’s fees
and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each Trust or Fund.

<R>
Total Annual Trust or Fund Operating Expenses1    Minimum    Maximum 
(expenses that are deducted from Trust or Fund assets, including         
management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other    0.54%    1.50 % 
expenses):         

</R>
1 No waiver or reimbursement arrangements are reflected. These expenses reflect the expenses of the other (acquired) 
         funds with a fund of funds. No Trust or Fund currently charges a redemption fee. For more information about 
         redemption fees, please see “Charges and Fees – Charges Deducted From the Contract Value – Redemption Fees.” 

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other
variable annuity contracts. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods
indicated. The costs reflected are the maximum charges for the Contract with the most expensive death benefit
option and the most expensive living benefit rider. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and assumes the maximum Trust or Fund Expenses. Excluded are the premium credit option and its
charge, premium taxes and any transfer charges.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

<R>
1) If you surrender or annuitize* your contract at the end of the applicable time period: 
1 year    3 years    5 years    10 years 
$1,220    $2,501    $3,742    $6,770 
2) If you do not surrender your contract:         
1 year    3 years    5 years    10 years 
$620    $1,901    $3,242    $6,770 

</R>
*    Surrender charges may apply if you choose to annuitize your Contract within the first year, and

Fees Deducted by the Funds
Fund Fee Information. The fund prospectuses show the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other
expenses including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. Fund fees are one factor that impacts
the value of a fund share. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for more information and to learn more about
additional factors.

The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual
percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one
fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service
fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund
prospectuses. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative,
recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional
payments may also be used by the Company to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the
funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses.
Please see “Charges and Fees – Trust and Fund Expenses” for more information.

In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where an affiliated investment adviser employs
subadvisers to manage the funds, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser
by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to
attend business meetings or training conferences. Investment management fees are apportioned between the
affiliated investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts
of revenue retained by the affiliated investment adviser. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not
increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. Please see “Charges and Fees – Trust and Fund Expenses”
for more information.

How Fees are Deducted. Fees are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn
affects the value of each subaccount that purchases fund shares.

  CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accumulation Unit
We use accumulation units to calculate the value of a Contract. Each subaccount of Separate Account NY-B of
ReliaStar of NY (“Separate Account NY-B”) has its own accumulation unit value. The accumulation units are
valued each business day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Their values may increase or
decrease from day to day according to a Net Investment Factor, which is primarily based on the investment
performance of the applicable investment portfolio. Shares in the investment portfolios are valued at their net asset
value.

Tables containing (i) the accumulation unit value history of each subaccount of Separate Account NY-B offered in
this prospectus and (ii) the total investment value history of each such subaccount are presented in Appendix A —
Condensed Financial Information for the lowest and highest combination of asset-based charges. The numbers
show the year-end unit values of each subaccount from the time purchase payments were first received in the
subaccounts under the Contract. Complete information is available in the SAI.

The Net Investment Factor
The Net Investment Factor is an index number which reflects certain charges under the Contract and the investment
performance of the subaccount. The Net Investment Factor is calculated for each subaccount as follows:

  1) We take the net asset value of the subaccount at the end of each business day.

ING Empire Traditions – 147957    6 


2)    We add to (1) the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared for the subaccount and 
    reinvested in such subaccount. We subtract from that amount a charge for our taxes, if any. 
 
3)    We divide (2) by the net asset value of the subaccount at the end of the preceding business day. 
 
4)    We then subtract the applicable daily charges from the subaccount: the mortality and expense risk 
    charge; the asset-based administrative charge; the premium credit option charge, if applicable; any 
    optional rider charges; and, for the GET Fund subaccount only, the daily GET Fund guarantee charge. 

Calculations for the subaccounts are made on a per share basis.

The Net Rate of Return equals the Net Investment Factor minus one.

Financial Statements
The statements of assets and liabilities, the related statements of operations, and the statements of changes of
Separate Account NY-B and the financial statements of ReliaStar of NY are included in the Statement of Additional
Information.

RELIASTAR OF NY SEPARATE ACCOUNT NY-B

ReliaStar of NY Separate Account NY-B (“Separate Account NY-B”) was established as a separate account of First
Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York (“First Golden”) on June 13, 1996. It became a separate
account of ReliaStar of NY as a result of the merger of First Golden into ReliaStar of NY effective April 1, 2002. It
is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).
Separate Account NY-B is a separate investment account used for our variable annuity contracts. We own all the
assets in Separate Account NY-B but such assets are kept separate from our other accounts.

Separate Account NY-B is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one
investment portfolio of a Trust or Fund. Each investment portfolio has its own distinct investment objectives and
policies. Income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, of a portfolio are credited to or charged against the
corresponding subaccount of Separate Account NY-B without regard to any other income, gains or losses of the
Company. Assets equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to each are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company. They may, however, be subject to liabilities arising
from subaccounts whose assets we attribute to other variable annuity contracts supported by Separate Account NY-
B. If the assets in Separate Account NY-B exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the
excess to our general account. We are obligated to pay all benefits and make all payments provided under the
Contracts.

Note: We currently offer other variable annuity contracts that invest in Separate Account NY-B but are not
discussed in this prospectus. Separate Account NY-B may also invest in other investment portfolios which are not
available under your Contract. Under certain circumstances, we may make certain changes to the subaccounts. For
more information, see “The Annuity Contract — Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Subaccounts and Other
Changes.”

merged with and into its parent, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”). ReliaStar is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services holding company, based in The
Netherlands. Although we are a subsidiary of ING, ING is not responsible for the obligations under the Contract.
The obligations under the Contract are solely the responsibility of ReliaStar of NY.

ING also owns Directed Services LLC, the investment manager of the ING Investors Trust and the distributor of the
Contracts, and other interests. ING also owns ING Investments, LLC and ING Investment Management, Co.,
portfolio managers of the ING Investors Trust, and the investment managers of the ING Variable Insurance Trust
and the ING Variable Products Trust, respectively. ING also owns ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, the
investment manager of ING Partners, Inc.

Our principal office is located at 1000 Woodbury Road, Suite 208, Woodbury, New York 11797.

Regulatory Matters
As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal
requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in
connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each
case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters.
Federal and state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are conducting broad inquiries and
investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other
things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-
competitive activity; reinsurance; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types
(including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry
investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have
received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each
request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These
initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services
industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S.
affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are
appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory
activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on
inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision;
arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document
retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its
own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of
mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify
any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and
other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of
mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and
identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat
market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees
of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

Action may be taken by regulators with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations
relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject
certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments,

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

8


penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such
action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.based operations, including the Company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct
by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or
self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC.
Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any
indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s U.S.based operations, including the Company.

Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax,
securities and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental
and self-regulatory authorities. Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to
nonqualified annuity product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment
of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. (See “Federal Tax Considerations” for further discussion of
some of these requirements.) Failure to administer certain nonqualified contract features (for example, contractual
annuity start dates in nonqualified annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal
securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and
distribution, and administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements
could subject the Company to administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs.

  THE TRUSTS AND FUNDS

You will find information about the Trusts and Funds currently available under your Contract in Appendix
B — The Investment Portfolios.A prospectus containing more information on each Trust or Fund may be
obtained by calling our Customer Service Center at 800-366-0066. You should read the prospectus carefully
before investing.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feederor “LifeStyle Funds.Funds offered in a
Master-Feeder structure (such as the American Funds) or fund of funds structure (such as the LifeStyle Funds
) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.
Consult with your investment professional to determine if the Portfolios may be suited to your financial needs,
investment time horizon and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to
change your investment strategy.

In the event that, due to differences in tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of contract owners of
various contracts participating in the Trusts conflict, we, the Boards of Trustees or Directors of Trusts or Funds, and
any insurance companies participating in the Trusts or Funds will monitor events to identify and resolve any
material conflicts that may arise.

ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio
An ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio (“GET Fund”) series may be available during the accumulation phase of the
Contract. We make a guarantee, as described below, when you allocate money into a GET Fund series. Each GET
Fund series has an offering period of six months which precedes the guarantee period. The GET Fund investment
option may not be available under your Contract or in your state. The GET Fund may not be available through all
broker dealer selling firms.

You may not allocate money into a GET Fund series if you elect an optional benefit rider. Effective June 21,
2007, no new series of the GET Fund are available.

Various series of the GET Fund may be offered from time to time, and additional charges will apply if you elect to
invest in one of these series. The Company makes a guarantee when you direct money into a GET Fund series. We
guarantee that the value of an accumulation unit of the GET Fund subaccount for that series under the Contract on
the maturity date will not be less than its value as determined after the close of business on the last day of the
offering period for that GET Fund series. If the value on the maturity date is lower than it was on the last day of the

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

9


offering period, we will add funds to the GET Fund subaccount for that series to make up the difference. This
means that if you remain invested in the GET Fund series until the maturity date, at the maturity date, you will
receive no less than the value of your separate account investment directed to the GET Fund series as of the last day
of the offering period, less charges not reflected in the accumulation unit value and any amounts you transfer or
withdraw from the GET Fund subaccount for that series. The value of dividends and distributions made by the GET
Fund series throughout the guarantee period is taken into account in determining whether, for purposes of the
guarantee, the value of your GET Fund investment on the maturity date is no less than its value as of the last day of
the offering period. If you withdraw or transfer funds from a GET Fund series prior to the maturity date, we will
process the transactions at the actual unit value next determined after we receive your request. The GET Fund
subaccount is not available for dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing.

Before the maturity date, we will send a notice to each contract owner who has allocated amounts to the GET Fund
series. This notice will remind you that the maturity date is approaching and that you must choose other investment
options for your GET Fund series amounts. If you do not make a choice, on the maturity date we will transfer your
GET Fund series amounts to another available series of the GET Fund that is then accepting deposits. If no GET
Fund series is then available, we will transfer your GET Fund series amounts to the fund or funds that we designate.

Please see the ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio prospectus for a complete description of the ING GET U.S. Core
Portfolio investment option, including charges and expenses.

Covered Funds and Special Funds
For purposes of determining benefits under the living benefit riders, we assign the investment options (the
investment portfolios available under your Contract) to one of two categories, Covered Funds or Special Funds.
Allocations to Covered Funds participate fully in the calculations to determine the value of your guaranteed benefits
under a living benefit rider. Allocations to Special Funds could affect the optional benefit rider guarantee that may
otherwise be provided because Special Funds do not participate fully in the calculations to determine the value of
your guaranteed benefit under a living benefit rider. Assets in Covered Funds generally provide a higher living
benefit than those allocated to Special Funds. Designation of investment options under these categories may vary by
benefit. Please see “Living Benefit Riders” for more information.

We may, with 30 days notice to you, designate any investment option as a Special Fund, but only with respect to
new premiums added to such investment option and also with respect to new transfers to such investment option.

Restricted Funds
Restricted Funds are not related specifically to the living benefit riders. Rather, Restricted Funds are investment
options for which we have limited the amount that may be invested, either on an aggregate basis or an individual
basis. We may designate any investment option as a Restricted Fund and limit the amount you may allocate or
transfer to a Restricted Fund. We may also change the limitations on existing Contracts with respect to new
premiums added to the investment options and with respect to new transfers to the investment options. We may
establish any such limitation, at our discretion, as a percentage of premium or contract value or as a specified dollar
amount and change the limitation at any time. To the extent an investment option is designated both a Restricted
Fund and a Special Fund, allocations to such investment option may limit your participation in the determination of
your guaranteed benefits under a living benefit rider as well as the amount you may allocate to such investment
option.

Currently, we have not designated any investment option as a Restricted Fund. We may, with 30 days notice
to you, designate any investment portfolio as a Restricted Fund or change the limitations on existing contracts with
respect to new premiums added to such investment portfolio and also with respect to new transfers to such
investment portfolio. If a change is made with regard to designation as a Restricted Fund or applicable limitations,
such change will apply only to transactions effected after such change and will not apply to amounts that may
exceed these limitations due solely to a change in designation.

We limit your investment in the Restricted Funds on both an aggregate basis for all Restricted Funds and for each
individual Restricted Fund. The aggregate limits for investment in all Restricted Funds are expressed as a
percentage of contract value, percentage of premium and maximum dollar amount. Currently, your investment in
two or more Restricted Funds would be subject to each of the following three limitations: no more than 30 percent

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

10


of contract value; up to 100 percent of each premium; and no more than $999,999,999. We may change these limits,
at our discretion, for new contracts, premiums, transfers or withdrawals.

In addition to limiting your investment in the Restricted Funds on an aggregate basis, we limit your investment in
each individual Restricted Fund. The limits for investment in each Restricted Fund are expressed as a percentage of
contract value, percentage of premium and maximum dollar amount. Currently, the limits for investment in an
individual Restricted Fund are the same as the aggregate limits set forth above. We may change these limits, at our
discretion, for new contracts, premiums, transfers or withdrawals.

We monitor the aggregate and individual limits on investments in Restricted Funds for each transaction (e.g.
premium payments, reallocations, withdrawals, dollar cost averaging). If the contract value in the Restricted Fund
has increased beyond the applicable limit due to market growth, we will not require the reallocation or withdrawal of
contract value from the Restricted Fund. However, if an aggregate limit has been exceeded, withdrawals must be
taken either from the Restricted Funds or taken pro-rata from all investment options in which contract value is
allocated, so that the percentage of contract value in the Restricted Funds following the withdrawal is less than or
equal to the percentage of contract value in the Restricted Funds prior to the withdrawal.

We will allocate pro-rata the portion of any premium payment that exceeds the limits with a Restricted Fund to your
other investment option choices not designated as Restricted Funds, or to a specially designated subaccount if there
are none (currently, the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio), unless you instruct us otherwise.

We will not permit a transfer to the Restricted Funds to the extent that it would increase the contract value in the
Restricted Fund or in all Restricted Funds to more than the applicable limits set forth above. We will not limit
transfers from Restricted Funds. If the result of multiple reallocations is to lower the percentage of total contract
value in Restricted Funds, the reallocation will be permitted even if the percentage of contract value in a Restricted
Fund is greater than its limit.

Please see “Withdrawals” and “Transfers Among Your Investments (Excessive Trading Policy)” in this prospectus
for more information on the effect of Restricted Funds.

  CHARGES AND FEES

We deduct the Contract charges described below to compensate us for our cost and expenses, services provided and
risks assumed under the Contracts. We incur certain costs and expenses for distributing and administering the
Contracts, including compensation and expenses paid in connection with sales of the Contracts, for paying the
benefits payable under the Contracts and for bearing various risks associated with the Contracts. Some of the
charges are for optional riders, so they are only deducted if you elect to purchase the rider. The amount of a
Contract charge will not always correspond to the actual costs associated with the charge. For example, the
surrender charge collected may not fully cover all of the distribution expenses incurred by us with the service or
benefits provided. In the event there are any profits from fees and charges deducted under the Contract, including
the mortality and expense risk charge and rider and benefit charges, we may use such profits to finance the
distribution of Contracts. The expenses for a contract providing a premium credit, as this Contract does, may be
higher than for contracts not providing a premium credit. Over time, and under certain circumstances, the amount of
the premium credit may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium credit.

Charge Deduction Subaccount
You may elect to have all charges, except daily charges, against your contract value deducted directly from a single
subaccount designated by the Company. Currently we use the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio for this purpose. If you
do not elect this option, or if the amount of the charges is greater than the amount in the designated subaccount, the
charges will be deducted as discussed below. You may cancel this option at any time by sending notice to our
Customer Service Center in a form satisfactory to us.

Charges Deducted from the Contract Value
We deduct the following charges from your contract value:

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

11


Surrender Charge. We will deduct a contingent deferred sales charge (a “surrender charge”) if you surrender
your Contract or if you take a withdrawal in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount during the 7-year period from
the date we receive and accept a premium payment. The surrender charge is a percentage of each premium payment
withdrawn. This charge is intended to cover sales expenses that we have incurred. The surrender charge will be
based on the total amount withdrawn, including the amount deducted for the surrender charge. It will be deducted
from the contract value remaining after you have received the amount requested for withdrawal. The surrender
charge is not based on or deducted from the amount you requested as a withdrawal. We may in the future reduce or
waive the surrender charge in certain situations and will never charge more than the maximum surrender charges.
The percentage of premium payments deducted at the time of surrender or excess withdrawal depends on the
number of complete years that have elapsed since that premium payment was made. We determine the surrender
charge as a percentage of each premium payment withdrawn as follows:

Complete Years Elapsed    0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7+ 
     Since Premium Payment                                 
Surrender Charge (as a percentage of    6%    6%    6%    6%    5%    4%    3%    0% 
     Premium Payment)                                 

  Nursing Home Waiver. You may withdraw all or a portion of your contract value without a surrender charge

if:

1)      at the time you first begin receiving care, more than one contract year has elapsed since the contract date;
 
2)      the withdrawal is requested during the period of care or within 90 days after the last day of care; and
 
3)      you have spent at least 45 days during a 60 day period in such nursing care facility.
 

You must submit satisfactory written proof of illness or incapacity. We may require an examination, at our cost, by
a physician of our choice. We will not waive the early withdrawal charge if you were in a nursing care facility for at
least one day during the two week period immediately preceding or following the contract date. It will also not
apply to Contracts where prohibited by state law. Please note that these withdrawals are subject to the premium
credit recapture provisions.

Terminal Illness Waiver. You may withdraw all or a portion of your contract value without a surrender
charge if:

1)      You are first diagnosed by a qualified medical professional, on or after the first contract anniversary, as having a terminal illness; and
 
2)      You submit satisfactory written proof of illness.
 

We may require an examination, at our cost, by a physician of our choice.

Free Withdrawal Amount. The Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of contract value, based on the contract
value on the date of the withdrawal. Under Option Package III, any unused percentage of the 10% Free Withdrawal
Amount from a contract year will carry forward into successive contract years, based on the percentage remaining at
the time of the last withdrawal in that contract year. In no event will the free withdrawal amount at any time exceed
30% of contract value.

Surrender Charge for Excess Withdrawals. We will deduct a surrender charge for excess withdrawals which
may include a withdrawal you make to satisfy required minimum distribution requirements under the Tax Code. We
consider a withdrawal to be an “excess withdrawal” when the amount you withdraw in any contract year exceeds the
Free Withdrawal Amount. For purposes of determining the extent to which a withdrawal is an excess withdrawal,
we will also include the amount you expect to receive through systematic withdrawals during the contract year.
Systematic withdrawals are periodic scheduled withdrawals of a fixed amount or an amount based upon a

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

12


percentage of contract value. For more information about systematic withdrawals, please see “Withdrawals –
Systematic Withdrawals.” An excess withdrawal is a partial surrender of the Contract subject to a surrender charge,
which we will deduct from the contract value that remains after an excess withdrawal in proportion to your
subaccount allocations.

For the purpose of calculating the surrender charge for an excess withdrawal: (a) we treat premiums as being
withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis; and (b) amounts withdrawn which are not considered an excess withdrawal
are not considered a withdrawal of any premium payments. We have included an example of how this works in
Appendix D. Earnings for purposes of calculating the surrender charge for excess withdrawals may not be the same
as earnings under federal tax law.

Premium Taxes. We may make a charge for state and local premium taxes depending on your state of
residence. The tax can range from 0% to 3.5% of each premium payment. We have the right to change this amount
to conform with changes in the law or if you change your state of residence. There is currently no premium tax in
the State of New York.

We deduct the premium tax from your contract value on the income phase payment start date. In the event that you
have selected the Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit rider and you elect to receive income payments under it
rather than the Contract, then we will deduct the premium tax from the MGIB Benefit Base. However, some
jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time that initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of when the
income phase payments begin. In those states we may defer collection of the premium taxes from your contract
value and deduct it when you surrender the Contract, when you take an excess withdrawal, or on the income phase
payment start date.

Administrative Charge. We deduct an annual administrative charge on each Contract anniversary, or if you
surrender your Contract prior to a Contract anniversary, at the time we determine the cash surrender value payable to
you. The amount deducted is $30 per Contract unless waived under conditions established by ReliaStar of NY. We
deduct the charge proportionately from all subaccounts in which you are invested. If there is no contract value in
those subaccounts, we will deduct the charge from your Fixed Interest Allocations starting with the guaranteed
interest periods nearest their maturity dates until the charge has been paid.

Transfer Charge. We currently do not deduct any charges for transfers made during a contract year. We have
the right, however, to assess up to $25 for each transfer after the twelfth transfer in a contract year. If such a charge
is assessed, we would deduct the charge from the subaccounts and the Fixed Interest Allocations from which each
such transfer is made in proportion to the amount being transferred from each such subaccount and Fixed Interest
Allocation unless you have chosen to have all charges deducted from a single subaccount. The charge will not apply
to any transfers due to the election of dollar cost averaging, automatic rebalancing and transfers we make to and
from any subaccount specially designated by the Company for such purpose.

Redemption Fees. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying
portfolios as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are
separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your contract value. For a more
complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.

Charges Deducted from the Subaccounts

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The mortality and expense risk charge is deducted each business day.
The amount of the mortality and expense risk charge depends on the option package you have elected. The option
packages constitute different levels of death benefit coverage that are available with the Contract. Please see “Death
Benefit Choices” for more information. The charge is deducted on each business day and is a percentage of average
daily assets based on the assets you have in each subaccount. The mortality and expense risk charge compensates
the Company for death benefit and annuitization risks and the risk that expense charges will not cover actual
expenses. In the event there are any profits from the mortality and expense risk charge, we may use such profits to
finance the distribution of contracts and the premium credit option.

Asset-Based Administrative Charge. The amount of the asset-based administrative charge, on an annual
basis, is equal to 0.15% of the assets you have in each subaccount for each since the previous business day. The
charge is deducted on each business day at the rate of .0004% from your assets in each subaccount.

Premium Credit Option Charge. The amount of the asset-based premium credit option charge, on an annual
basis, is equal to 0.50% of the assets you have in each subaccount. The charge is deducted from your assets in each
subaccount on each business day at the rate of 0.0014% for seven years following credit of the premium credit. This
charge will also be deducted from amounts allocated to the Fixed Interest Division, resulting in a 0.50% reduction in
the interest which would otherwise have been credited to your Contract during the seven contract years following
credit of the premium credit. The cost of providing the premium credit is generally covered by the premium credit
option charge, the recapture schedule for forfeiture of the credit on surrenders, withdrawals and death, and, to some
degree, by the mortality and expense risk charge. We expect to make a profit on those contracts under which the
premium credit option is elected.

Optional Rider Charges. Some features and benefits of the Contract, if available, are available by rider for an
additional charge. Please check your application for the Contract to be sure. Once elected, a rider cannot be
canceled independently of the Contract. So long as the rider is in effect, we will deduct a separate quarterly charge
for the optional benefit rider through a pro-rata reduction of the contract value of the subaccounts in which you are
invested. We deduct the rider charge on each of the Contract’s quarterly anniversary dates (defined below) in
arrears, meaning we deduct the first charge on the first quarterly anniversary date following the rider date. If the
rider is added to an existing Contract, the first quarter’s charge will be reduced proportionally for the portion of the
quarter that the rider was not in effect. Rider charges are expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest
hundredth of one percent.

A “quarterly anniversary date” is the date three months from the contract date that falls on the same date in the
month as the contract date. For example, if the contract date is February 12, the quarterly anniversary date is May
12. If there is no corresponding date in the month, the quarterly anniversary date will be the last date of such month.
If the quarterly anniversary date falls on a weekend or a holiday, we will use the value as of the subsequent business
day.

For a description of the rider and the defined terms used in connection with the riders, see “Living Benefit Riders.”

Minimum Guaranteed Accumulation Benefit (MGAB). The charge for the MGAB rider is as follows:

Waiting Period    As an Annual Charge    As a Quarterly Charge 



10 Year    0.65% of the MGAB Charge Base    0.17% of the MGAB Charge Base 




The MGAB Charge will be charged during the 10-year waiting period starting on the rider date and ending on
the MGAB Benefit Date. The MGAB Charge Base is the total of premiums and any premium credits, if applicable,
added during the two-year period commencing on the rider date if you purchase the rider on the contract date, or,
your contract value on the rider date plus premiums and any premium credits, if applicable, added during the two-
year period commencing on the rider date if you purchased the rider after the contract date, reduced pro-rata for all
withdrawals taken while the MGAB rider is in effect, including any systematic withdrawals, and reduced pro-rata
for any transfers between subaccounts or between a subaccount and a Fixed Interest Allocation made during the
three-year period before the MGAB date. Withdrawals and transfers may reduce the applicable MGAB Charge
Base by more than the amount withdrawn or transferred. See “Living Benefit Riders.”

Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit (MGIB). The charge for the MGIB rider is as follows:

Current Annual Charge    Maximum Annual Charge 
(Charge Deducted Quarterly)     


0.75% of the MGIB Benefit Base    1.50% of the MGIB Benefit Base 



Please see “Living Benefit Riders - Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB Rider”)” for a
description of the MGIB Benefit Base and the MGIB Rate.

ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING LifePay Plus) Rider Charge. The
charge for the ING LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your contract value:

Maximum Annual Charge    Current Annual Charge 


2.00%    0.60% 



This quarterly charge is a percentage of the ING LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the
contract date (contract year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first
quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at contract issue, the rider effective date is the same
as the contract date. If the rider is added after contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the
Contract’s next following quarterly contract anniversary. The charge will be pro-rated when the rider is terminated.
Charges will also be pro-rated when your rider enters either the Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. (No charge is deducted thereafter.) Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your contract value is reduced to zero and other conditions are
met. The current charge can change upon a reset after your first five contract years. You will never pay more than
new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. For more information about how this rider works,
including when Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins, please see “Living Benefit Riders – ING
LifePay Plus/Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Riders.”

ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING Joint LifePay Plus) Rider
Charge. The charge for the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your contract
value:

Maximum Annual Charge    Current Annual Charge 


2.50%    0.80% 



This quarterly charge is a percentage of the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on
the contract date (contract year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the
first quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at contract issue, the rider effective date is the
same as the contract date. If the rider is added after contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the
Contract’s next following quarterly contract anniversary. The charge will be pro-rated when the rider is terminated.
Charges will also be pro-rated when your rider enters either the Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. (No charge is deducted thereafter.) Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your contract value is reduced to zero and other conditions are
met. The current charge can be subject to change upon a reset after your first five contract years. You will never
pay more than new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. For more information about how this
rider works, including when Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins, please see “Living Benefit Riders –
ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider.”

ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio Guarantee Charge. Effective June 21, 2007, no new series of the GET Fund are
available. The GET Fund guarantee charge is deducted each business day during the guarantee period if you elect to
invest in the GET Fund. The amount of the GET Fund guarantee charge is 0.50% and is deducted from amounts
allocated to the GET Fund investment option. This charge compensates us for the cost of providing a guarantee of
accumulation unit values of the GET Fund subaccount. See “The Trust and Funds- ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio.”

Trust and Fund Expenses
As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “Fees Deducted by the Funds” section of this prospectus,
each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other
expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company
and its affiliates, for administrative and contract owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore,
certain funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended
to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review
each fund’s prospectus.

The company or its U.S. affiliates receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates,
although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the Contract. This
revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining the Contract fees and charges and whether to offer a
fund through our policies. Fund revenue is important to the company’s profitability, and it is generally more
profitable for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

In terms of total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to
funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be
subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate but subadvised
by unaffiliated third parties generally generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to
unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue. The company expects to make a profit from this revenue to
the extent it exceeds the company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by Directed
Services LLC or other company affiliates, which may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate;
and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but that are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds may include:

  • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets;
  • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets;
  • For certain share classes, the company or its affiliates may also receive compensation paid out of 12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
  • Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees.

These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that
are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by
unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment
adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated
subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated
investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds
or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some
unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.

Revenues received by the company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds include:

  • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

16


  • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in each fund prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the Contract.

These revenues are received as cash payments, and if the unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the
Contract were individually ranked according to the total amount they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2007,
that ranking would be as follows:

  · Fidelity Variable Insurance Product Portfolios

If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in this list, payments from Directed Services LLC and
other company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and
unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in
company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s
investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may make fixed dollar payments to help offset the cost of the meetings or
sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the
investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales
representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not
limited to, co-branded marketing materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at
meetings, training modules for sales personnel and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives
and wholesalers.

Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds.” These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund
that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying
funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be
affiliated funds as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio
and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. The “fund of funds” available under the Contract are identified in
the list of investment portfolios toward the front of this prospectus.

Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the company or its affiliates may receive a
portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. For
more information, please see “Other Contract Provisions – Selling the Contract.”

  THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

The Contract described in this prospectus is a deferred combination variable and fixed annuity contract. The
Contract provides a means for you to invest in one or more of the available mutual fund portfolios of the Trusts and
Funds through Separate Account NY-B. It also provides a means for you to invest in a Fixed Interest Allocation
through the Fixed Interest Division. See Appendix C and the Fixed Interest Division Offering Brochure for more
information on the Fixed Interest Division. If you have any questions concerning this Contract, contact your
registered representative or call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-366-0066.

Contract Date and Contract Year
The date the Contract became effective is the contract date. Each 12-month period following the contract date is a
contract year.

Contract Owner
You are the contract owner. You are also the annuitant unless another annuitant is named in the application. You
have the rights and options described in the Contract. One or more persons may own the Contract. If there are

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

17


multiple owners named, the age of the oldest owner will determine the applicable death benefit if such death benefit
is available for multiple owners. In the event a selected death benefit is not available, Option Package I will apply.

The death benefit becomes payable when you die. In the case of a sole contract owner who dies before the income
phase begins, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit then due. The sole contract owner’s estate will be the
beneficiary if no beneficiary has been designated or the beneficiary has predeceased the contract owner. In the case
of a joint owner of the Contract dying before the income phase begins, we will designate the surviving contract
owner as the beneficiary. This will override any previous beneficiary designation. See “Joint Owner,” below.

Joint Owner
For non-qualified Contracts only, joint owners may be named in a written request before the Contract is in effect.
Joint owners may independently exercise transfers and other transactions allowed under the Contract. All other
rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or
payments made to them. All rights of a joint owner end at death of that owner if the other joint owner survives. The
entire interest of the deceased joint owner in the Contract will pass to the surviving joint owner and the death benefit
will be payable. Joint owners may only select Option Package I.

Any addition or deletion of a joint owner is treated as a change of owner which may affect the amount of the death
benefit. See “Change of Contract Owner or Beneficiary,” below. If you have elected Option Package II or III, and
you add a joint owner, if the older joint owner is attained age 85 or under, the death benefit from the date of change
will be the Option Package I death benefit. If the older joint owner’s attained age is 86 or over on the date of the
ownership change, the death benefit will be the cash surrender value. The mortality and expense risk charge going
forward will reflect the change in death benefit. Note that returning a Contract to single owner status will not restore
any death benefit. Unless otherwise specified, the term “age” when used for joint owners shall mean the age of the
oldest owner.

Annuitant
The annuitant is the person designated by you to be the measuring life in determining income phase payments. The
annuitant’s age determines when the income phase must begin and the amount of the income phase payments to be
paid. You are the annuitant unless you choose to name another person. The annuitant may not be changed after the
Contract is in effect, except as described below.

The contract owner will receive the annuity benefits of the Contract if the annuitant is living on the income phase
payment start date. If the annuitant dies before the income phase payment start date and a contingent annuitant has
been named, the contingent annuitant becomes the annuitant (unless the contract owner is not an individual, in
which case the death benefit becomes payable).

If there is no contingent annuitant when the annuitant dies before the income phase payment start date, the contract
owner will become the annuitant. In the event of joint owners, the youngest will be the contingent annuitant, unless
you elect otherwise. The contract owner may designate a new annuitant within 60 days of the death of the annuitant.

When the annuitant dies before the income phase payment start date and the contract owner is not an individual, we
will pay the designated beneficiary the death benefit then due. If a beneficiary has not been designated, or if there is
no designated beneficiary living, the contract owner will be the beneficiary. If the annuitant was the sole contract
owner and there is no beneficiary designation, the annuitant’s estate will be the beneficiary.

Regardless of whether a death benefit is payable, if the annuitant dies and any contract owner is not an individual,
distribution rules under federal tax law will apply. You should consult your tax advisor for more information if the
contract owner is not an individual.

Beneficiary
The beneficiary is named by you in a written request. The beneficiary is the person who receives any death benefit
proceeds and who may become the successor contract owner if the contract owner who is a spouse (or the annuitant
if the contract owner is other than an individual) dies before the income phase payment start date. We pay death
benefits to the primary beneficiary (unless there are joint owners, in which case death proceeds are payable to the
surviving owner(s)).

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

18


If the beneficiary dies before the annuitant or the contract owner, the death benefit proceeds are paid to the
contingent beneficiary, if any. If there is no surviving beneficiary, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the contract
owner’s estate.

One or more persons may be a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary. In the case of more than one beneficiary, we
will assume any death benefit proceeds are to be paid in equal shares to the surviving beneficiaries, unless you
indicate otherwise in writing.

Change of Contract Owner or Beneficiary
During the annuitant’s lifetime, you may transfer ownership of a non-qualified Contract. A change in ownership
may affect the amount of the death benefit, the guaranteed minimum death benefit and/or the death benefit option
applied to the Contract. The new owner’s age, as of the date of the change, will be used as the basis for determining
the applicable benefits and charges. The new owner’s death will determine when a death benefit is payable.

If you have elected Option Package I, the death benefit will continue if the new owner is age 85 or under on the date
of the ownership change. For Option Package II or III, if the new owner is age 79 or under on the date that
ownership changes, the death benefit will continue. If the new owner is age 80 to 85, under Option Package II or
III, the death benefit will end, and the death benefit will become the Option Package I death benefit. For all death
benefit options, 1) if the new owner’s attained age is 86 or over on the date of the ownership change, or 2) if the new
owner is not an individual (other than a Trust for the benefit of the owner or annuitant), the death benefit will be the
cash surrender value. The mortality and expense risk charge going forward will reflect the change in death benefit.
Please note that once a death benefit has been changed due to a change in owner, it will not be restored by a
subsequent change to a younger owner.

You have the right to change beneficiaries during the annuitant’s lifetime unless you have designated an irrevocable
beneficiary. If you have designated an irrevocable beneficiary, you and the irrevocable beneficiary may have to act
together to exercise some of the rights and options under the Contract. You may also restrict a beneficiary’s right to
elect an annuity option or receive a lump sum payment. If so, such rights or options will not be available to the
beneficiary. In the event of joint owners, all must agree to change a beneficiary.

In the event of a death claim, we will honor the form of payment of the death benefit specified by the beneficiary to
the extent permitted under Section 72(s) of the Tax Code. You may also restrict a beneficiary’s right to elect an
income phase payment option or receive a lump-sum payment. If so, such rights or options will not be available to
the beneficiary.

All requests for changes must be in writing and submitted to our Customer Service Center in good order. Please
date your request. The change will be effective as of the day you sign the request. The change will not affect any
payment made or action taken by us before recording the change.

A change of owner likely has tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Considerations” in this prospectus.

Purchase and Availability of the Contract
There are three option packages available under the Contract. You select an option package at the time of
application. Each option package is unique. The minimum initial payment to purchase the Contract depends on the
option package that you elect.

    Option Package I    Option Package II    Option Package III 




Minimum Initial    $15,000 (non-qualified)    $5,000 (non-qualified)    $5,000 (non-qualified) 
Payment    $1,500 (qualified)    $1,500 (qualified)    $1,500 (qualified) 





The maximum issue age is 80 or younger at the time of application to purchase a Contract with Option Package I.
With Option Package II or Option Package III, the maximum issue age is also 80 or younger at the time of
application, SO LONG AS you elect the MGAB rider, the ING LifePay Plus rider or the ING Joint LifePay Plus

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

19


rider. Otherwise, the maximum issue age is 75 for a Contract with Option Package II or Option Package III. Before
April 28, 2008, the maximum issue age was 80 for a Contract with either Option Package II or Option Package III.

You may make additional premium payments up to the contract anniversary after your 86th birthday. The minimum
additional premium payment we will accept is $50 regardless of the option package you select. Under certain
circumstances, we may waive the minimum premium payment requirement. We may also change the minimum
initial or additional premium requirements for certain group or sponsored arrangements. Any initial or additional
premium payment that would cause the contract value of all annuities that you maintain with us to exceed
$1,500,000 requires our prior approval.

The Contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement
or other long-term purposes. The tax-deferred feature is more attractive to people in high federal and state tax
brackets. You should not buy this Contract: (1) if you are looking for a short-term investment; (2) if you cannot risk
getting back less money than you put in; or (3) if your assets are in a plan which provides for tax-deferral and you
see no other reason to purchase this Contract. When considering an investment in the Contract, you should
consult with your investment professional about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk
tolerance.

Replacing an existing insurance contract with this Contract may not be beneficial to you. Before purchasing
the Contract, determine whether your existing contract will be subject to any fees or penalties upon
surrender. Also, compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing
contract with those of the Contract described in this prospectus.

IRAs and other qualified plans already have the tax-deferral feature found in this Contract. For an additional cost,
the Contract provides other features and benefits including death benefits and the ability to receive a lifetime
income. You should not purchase a qualified Contract unless you want these other features and benefits, taking into
account their cost. See “Charges and Fees” in this prospectus. If you are considering an Enhanced Death Benefit
Option and your contract will be an IRA, see “
Federal Tax Considerations Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Death
Benefit” in this prospectus.

Loans are not allowed on a Contract issued as a Tax Code Section 403(b) annuity.

We and our affiliates offer other variable products that may offer some of the same investment portfolios. These
products have different benefits and charges, and may or may not better match your needs. If you are interested in
learning more about these other products, contact our Customer Service Center or your registered representative.

Crediting of Premium Payments
We will process your initial premium and any premium credits, if applicable, within 2 business days after receipt
and allocate the payment according to the instructions you specify at the accumulation unit value next determined, if
the application and all information necessary for processing the Contract are complete. Subsequent premium
payments will be processed within 1 business day if we receive all necessary information. In certain states we also
accept initial and additional premium payments by wire order. Wire transmittals must be accompanied by sufficient
electronically transmitted data. We may retain your initial premium payment for up to 5 business days while
attempting to complete an incomplete application. If the application cannot be completed within this period, we will
inform you of the reasons for the delay. We will also return the premium payment immediately unless you direct us
to hold the premium payment until the application is completed. If you choose to have us hold the premium
payment, it will be held in a non-interest bearing account.

If a subaccount is not available or requested in error, we will make inquiry about a replacement subaccount. If we
are unable to reach you or your representative within 5 days, we will consider the application incomplete. Once the
completed application is received, we will allocate the payment to the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B
specified by you within 2 business days.

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

20


If your premium payment was transmitted by wire order from your broker-dealer, we will follow one of the
following two procedures after we receive and accept the wire order and investment instructions. The procedure we
follow depends on state availability and the procedures of your broker-dealer.

1)      If either your state or broker-dealer do not permit us to issue a Contract without an application, we reserve the right to rescind the Contract if we do not receive and accept a properly completed application or enrollment form within five days of the premium payment. If we do not receive the application or form within five days of the premium payment, we will refund the contract value plus any charges we deducted, and the Contract will be voided. Some states require that we return the premium paid, in which case we will comply.
 
2)      If your state and broker-dealer allow us to issue a Contract without an application, we will issue and mail the Contract to you or your representative, together with a Contract Acknowledgement and Delivery Statement for your execution. Until our Customer Service Center receives the executed Contract Acknowledgement and Delivery Statement, neither you nor the broker-dealer may execute any financial transactions on your Contract unless they are requested in writing by you. We may require additional information before complying with your request (e.g. signature guarantee).
 

We will make inquiry to discover any missing information related to subsequent payments. We will allocate the
subsequent payment(s) pro-rata according to the current variable subaccount allocation unless you specify
otherwise. Any fixed allocation(s) will not be considered in the pro-rata calculations. If a subaccount is no longer
available (including due to a fund purchase restriction) or requested in error, we will allocate the subsequent
payment(s) proportionally among the other subaccount(s) in your current allocation. For any subsequent premium
payments, the payment and any premium credits, if applicable, designated for a subaccount of Separate Account
NY-B, will be credited at the accumulation unit value next determined after receipt of your premium payment and
instructions.

Once we allocate your premium payment and any premium credit, if applicable, to the subaccounts selected by you,
we convert the premium payment into accumulation units. We divide the amount of the premium payment allocated
to a particular subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for the subaccount to determine the number of
accumulation units of the subaccount to be held in Separate Account NY-B with respect to your Contract. The net
investment results of each subaccount vary with its investment performance.

We may require that an initial premium designated for a subaccount of Separate Account NY-B or the Fixed Interest
Division be allocated with the added premium credit, if applicable, to a subaccount specially designated by the
Company (currently, the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio) during the free look period. After the free look period, we
will convert your contract value (your initial premium plus any earnings less any expenses) into accumulation units
of the subaccounts you previously selected. The accumulation units will be allocated based on the accumulation unit
value next computed for each subaccount. Initial premiums designated for Fixed Interest Allocations will be
allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with the guaranteed interest period you have chosen; however, in the future
we may allocate the premiums to the specially designated subaccount during the free look period.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments, if applicable, (traveler’s
checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money
orders totaling more than $500, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form
of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to
determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning your
premium payment and not issuing the contract.

Additional Credit to Premium
At the time of application, you may elect the premium credit option. If you so elect, a credit will be added to your
Contract based on all premium payments received during the first contract year (“initial premium”). The credit will
be 4% of the initial premium and will be allocated among each subaccount and Fixed Interest Allocation you have
selected in proportion to your allocation of the applicable premium in each investment option.

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

21


Currently, the premium credit option is available only if elected at the time of application prior to issuance of the
Contract and in combination with the Contract’s other optional riders, subject to the following limitation. For
Contracts purchased before September 4, 2007, the premium credit option was not available with the MGIB rider.
We reserve the right to make the premium credit option available to inforce contract owners. Also, the premium
credit option may not be available through all broker-dealers.

We may increase, decrease or discontinue the premium credit at our discretion. We will give you at least 45 days
notice of any planned change to the premium credit option.

The daily mortality and expense risk charge and the daily administrative charge under this Contract are greater than
that under contracts not providing a premium credit. There is also a separate charge for the premium credit which is
an asset-based charge deducted daily from your contract value. Please see “Charges and Fees” for a description of
this charge.

The premium credit constitutes earnings (and not premiums paid by you) for federal tax purposes.

In any of the following circumstances, we deduct part or all of a premium credit from the amount we pay to you or
your beneficiary:

1)      If you return your Contract within the free look period, we will deduct the entire premium credit from the refund amount;
 
2)      If a death benefit becomes payable, we will deduct any premium credits added to your Contract after or within 12 months of the date of death; and
 
3)      If you surrender your Contract or take a withdrawal, we will deduct a portion of the premium credit added to your contract value based on the percentage of first year premium withdrawn and the contract year of surrender or withdrawal in accordance with the following table:
 
Contract Year of    Percentage of Premium Credit 


Surrender or    Forfeited (based on percentage of 


Withdrawal    first year premium withdrawn) 


Years 1-2    100% 

Years 3-4    75% 
Years 5-6    50% 

Year 7    25% 
Years 8+    0% 



If we deduct a credit from any amount we pay to you, we will deduct the full dollar amount of the premium credit.
You will retain any gains, and you will also bear any losses, that are attributable to the premium credit we deduct.
No forfeiture of premium credit applies to withdrawals of contract value representing the annual free withdrawal
amount or to withdrawals of contract value representing earnings.

There may be circumstances under which the contract owner may be worse off from having received a
premium credit. For example, this could occur if the contract owner returns the Contract during the
applicable free look period. Upon a free look, we recapture the premium credit that had been credited. If the
state law provides that contract value is returned on a free look, and if the performance of the applicable
subaccounts has been negative during that period, we will return the contract value less the premium credit.
Negative performance associated with the premium credit will reduce the contract value more than if the
premium credit had not been applied.

Income Phase Payment Start Date
The income phase payment start date is the date you start receiving income phase payments under your Contract.
The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase; and the income
phase. The accumulation phase is the period between the contract date and the income phase payment start date. The

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

22


income phase begins when you start receiving regular income phase payments from your Contract on the income
phase payment start date.

Administrative Procedures
We may accept a request for Contract service in writing, by telephone, or other approved electronic means, subject
to our administrative procedures, which vary depending on the type of service requested and may include proper
completion of certain forms, providing appropriate identifying information, and/or other administrative
requirements. We will process your request at the contract value next determined only after you have met all
administrative requirements. Please be advised that the risk of fraudulent transaction is increased with telephonic or
electronic instructions (for example, a facsimile withdrawal request form), even if appropriate identifying
information is provided.

Contract Value
We determine your contract value on a daily basis beginning on the contract date. Your contract value is the sum of
(a) the contract value in the Fixed Interest Allocations, and (b) the contract value in each subaccount in which you
are invested.

Contract Value in the Subaccounts. On the contract date, the contract value in the subaccount in which you
are invested is equal to the initial premium paid plus any premium credit, if applicable, that was designated to be
allocated to the subaccount. On the contract date, we allocate your contract value to each subaccount and/or a Fixed
Interest Allocation specified by you.

On each business day after the contract date, we calculate the amount of contract value in each subaccount as
follows:

1)      We take the contract value in the subaccount at the end of the preceding business day.
 
2)      We multiply (1) by the subaccount’s Net Rate of Return since the preceding business day.
 
3)      We add (1) and (2).
 
4)      We add to (3) any additional premium payments plus any premium credits, if applicable, and then add or subtract any transfers to or from that subaccount.
 
5)      We subtract from (4) any withdrawals and any related charges, and then subtract any contract fees and premium taxes.
 

Cash Surrender Value
The cash surrender value is the amount you receive when you surrender the Contract. The cash surrender value will
fluctuate daily based on the investment results of the subaccounts in which you are invested and interest credited to
Fixed Interest Allocations. See the Fixed Interest Division Offering Brochure for a description of the calculation of
values under any Fixed Interest Allocation. We do not guarantee any minimum cash surrender value. On any date
during the accumulation phase, we calculate the cash surrender value as follows: we start with your contract value,
then we deduct any surrender charge, any charge for premium taxes, the annual contract administrative fee, and any
other charges incurred but not yet deducted.

Surrendering to Receive the Cash Surrender Value. You may surrender the Contract at any time while the
annuitant is living and before the income phase payment start date. A surrender will be effective on the date your
written request and the Contract are received at our Customer Service Center. We will determine and pay the cash
surrender value at the price next determined after receipt of all paperwork required in order for us to process your
surrender. Once paid, all benefits under the Contract will be terminated. For administrative purposes, we will
transfer your money to a specially designated subaccount (currently the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio) prior to
processing the surrender. This transfer will have no effect on your cash surrender value. You may receive the cash
surrender value in a single sum payment or apply it under one or more annuity options. We will usually pay the
cash surrender value within 7 days.

Consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences associated with surrendering your Contract. A surrender
made before you reach age 59½ may result in a 10% tax penalty. See “Federal Tax Considerations” for more
details.

The Subaccounts
Each of the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B offered under this prospectus invests in an investment portfolio
with its own distinct investment objectives and policies. Each subaccount of Separate Account NY-B invests in a
corresponding portfolio of a Trust or Fund.

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Subaccounts and Other Changes
We may make additional subaccounts available to you under the Contract. These subaccounts will invest in
investment portfolios we find suitable for your Contract. We may also withdraw or substitute investment portfolios,
subject to the conditions in your Contract and compliance with regulatory requirements, including prior SEC
approval.

We may amend the Contract to conform to applicable laws or governmental regulations. If we feel that investment
in any of the investment portfolios has become inappropriate to the purposes of the Contract, we may, with approval
of the SEC (and any other regulatory agency, if required), combine two or more accounts or substitute another
portfolio for existing and future investments. If you have elected the dollar cost averaging, systematic withdrawals,
or automatic rebalancing programs or if you have other outstanding instructions, and we substitute or otherwise
eliminate a portfolio which is subject to those instructions, we will execute your instructions using the substitute or
proposed replacement portfolio unless you request otherwise. The substitute or proposed replacement portfolio may
have higher fees and charges than any portfolio it replaces.

We also reserve the right, subject to SEC approval, to: (i) deregister Separate Account NY-B under the 1940 Act;
(ii) operate Separate Account NY-B as a management company under the 1940 Act if it is operating as a unit
investment trust; (iii) operate Separate Account NY-B as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act if it is operating
as a managed separate account; (iv) restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Separate Account NY-B; and (v)
combine Separate Account NY-B with other accounts.

We will, of course, provide you with written notice before any of these changes are effected.

The Fixed Interest Allocation (Fixed Interest Division)
The Fixed Interest Allocation is the Fixed Interest Division, which is part of the ReliaStar of New York general
account. The general account contains all of the assets of ReliaStar of New York other than those in certain separate
accounts. Allocation of any amount to the Fixed Interest Division does not entitle you to share directly in the
performance of these assets. Assets supporting amounts allocated to the Fixed Interest Division are available to
fund the claims of all classes of our customers, owners, and other creditors. See Appendix C and the Fixed Interest
Division Offering Brochure for more information. You may not allocate contract value to the Fixed Interest
Division if you elect one of the living benefit riders.

Other Contracts
We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the Contracts, and that may
offer some or all of the same investment portfolios. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and
may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the Company’s management personnel and
certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of Contract
values allocated to investment portfolios of Trusts or Funds affiliated with ING. You should be aware that there are
alternative options available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact our
Customer Service Center or your registered representative. Also, broker/dealers selling the Contract may limit its
availability or the availability of an optional feature (for example, by imposing restrictions on eligibility), or decline
to make an optional feature available. Please talk to your registered representative for further details.

  LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS

You may elect one of the optional benefit riders discussed below. You may add only one of these riders to your
Contract. Each rider has a separate charge. Please note that if you elect one of the living benefit riders, you
may not allocate premium or contract value to the GET Fund or to the Fixed Interest Allocations. Once
elected, the riders generally may not be cancelled. You may not remove the rider and charges will be assessed
regardless of the performance of your Contract. The optional benefit riders terminate upon surrender of the
Contract. Please see “Charges and Fees — Optional Rider Charges” for information on rider charges.

The optional riders may not be available for all investors. You should analyze each rider thoroughly and
understand it completely before you select it. The optional riders do not guarantee any return of principal or
premium payments and do not guarantee performance of any specific investment portfolio under the
contract. The ING LifePay Plus and ING Joint LifePay Plus riders may also impact the death benefit
amount under the Contract. More information about earlier versions of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit
riders (including lifetime versions) is in the Appendices. You should consult a qualified financial adviser in
evaluating the riders. Our Customer Service Center may be able to answer your questions. The telephone
number is (800) 366-0066.

Minimum Guaranteed Accumulation Benefit Rider (the “MGAB Rider”). The MGAB rider is an optional
benefit which provides you with an MGAB intended to guarantee a minimum contract value at the end of a specified
waiting period. The waiting period is 10 years, beginning on the rider date, and the MGAB Charge is deducted only
during the 10 year waiting period. Only premiums added to your Contract during the first two-year period after your
rider date and any premium credits, if applicable, are included in the MGAB Base. Any additional premium
payments added after the second rider anniversary are not included in the MGAB Base. Thus, the MGAB rider may
not be appropriate for you if you plan to add substantial premium payments after your second rider anniversary. If
you elect the MGAB rider, you may not allocate contract value to the GET Fund subaccount or to the Fixed Interest
Division.

The MGAB is a one-time adjustment to your contract value if your contract value on the MGAB Date is less than
the MGAB Base. The MGAB Date is the next business day after the applicable waiting period. We calculate your
Minimum Guaranteed Accumulation Benefit on this date. The MGAB rider may offer you protection if your
Contract loses value during the MGAB waiting period. For a discussion of the charges we deduct under the MGAB
rider, see “Optional Rider Charges.”

The MGAB rider has a waiting period of ten years and, other than for certain transfers, guarantees that your contract
value at the end of ten years will at least equal your initial premium payment plus the premium credit, if applicable,
reduced pro-rata for withdrawals. Transfers between subaccounts or between a subaccount and a Fixed Interest
Allocation within 3 years of the MGAB Date will also reduce the MGAB Base pro-rata (see examples below).

Calculating the MGAB. We calculate your MGAB as follows:

1)      We first determine your MGAB Base. The MGAB Base is only a calculation used to determine the MGAB. It does not represent a contract value, nor does it guarantee performance of the subaccounts in which you are invested. It is also not used in determining the amount of your annuity income, cash surrender value and death benefits.
 
  If you purchase the MGAB optional rider as of the contract date, the MGAB Base is the initial premium, and the premium credit, if applicable, increased by eligible premiums, less all withdrawals and, less transfers made within 3 years prior to the MGAB Date. Eligible premiums are premiums added within two years after the rider date. Premiums added in the third and later rider years are not included in the MGAB Base.
 
  If you purchase the MGAB optional benefit rider after the contract date, contract value is used as the initial value. The MGAB Base equals the contract value, plus eligible premiums, adjusted for withdrawals and transfers and accumulated at the MGAB Base Rate.
 

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

25


  Eligible premiums are premiums added within two years after the rider date. Premiums added in the third and later years after the rider date are not included in the MGAB Base.
 
  We use the MGAB Charge Base to determine the periodic MGAB rider charges. The MGAB Charge Base equals the eligible premiums, plus any premium credits, if applicable, adjusted for subsequent withdrawals and transfers. Withdrawals reduce the MGAB Base and MGAB Charge Base on a pro- rata basis. The percentage reduction in the MGAB Base and the MGAB Charge Base equals the percentage reduction in contract value resulting from the withdrawal. This means that the MGAB Base and MGAB Charge Base are reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the contract value. For example, if the contract value is reduced by 25% as the result of a withdrawal, the MGAB Base and the MBAG Charge Base are also reduced by 25% (rather than by the amount of the withdrawal).
 
  Any transfer between subaccounts or between a subaccount and a Fixed Interest Allocation within 3 years of the MGAB Date reduces the MGAB Base and MGAB Charge Base on a pro-rata basis, based on the percentage of contract value transferred. Adjustments for such transfers are made as if the transfer was a withdrawal followed by a premium payment to the new investment option, which is not an eligible premium for MGAB benefit purposes.
 
2)      We then subtract your contract value on the MGAB Date from your MGAB Base. The contract value that we subtract includes both the contract value in the subaccounts in which you are invested and the contract value in your Fixed Interest Allocations, if any.
 
3)      Any positive difference is your MGAB. If there is a MGAB, we will automatically credit it on the MGAB Date to the subaccounts in which you are invested pro-rata based on the proportion of your contract value in the subaccounts on that date. If you do not have an investment in any subaccount on the MGAB Date, we will allocate the MGAB to the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio on your behalf. After we credit the MGAB, the amount of your annuity income, cash surrender value and death benefits will reflect the crediting of the MGAB to your contract value to the extent the contract value is used to determine such value.

Purchase. To purchase the MGAB rider, you must be age 80 or younger on the rider date. The waiting period
must end at or before your annuity start date. The MGAB rider may be purchased (i) on the contract date, and (ii)
within 30 days following the contract date. For contracts issued more than 30 days before the date this rider first
became available in your state, the Company may in its discretion allow purchase of this rider during the 30-day
period preceding the first contract anniversary after the date of this prospectus.

The MGAB Charge Base. The MGAB Charge Base is the total of premiums and premium credits, if
applicable, added during the two-year period commencing on the rider date if you purchase the rider on the contract
date, or your contract value on the rider date plus premiums and premium credits, if applicable, added during the
two-year period commencing on the rider date if you purchased the rider after the contract date, reduced pro-rata for
all withdrawals taken while the MGAB rider is in effect, and reduced pro-rata for transfers made during the three
year period before the MGAB Date. Withdrawals and transfers may reduce the applicable MGAB Charge Base by
more than the amount withdrawn or transferred.

The MGAB Date. The MGAB Date is the date the MGAB rider becomes effective. If you purchased the
MGAB rider on the contract date or added the MGAB rider within 30 days following the contract date, the MGAB
Date is your 10th contract anniversary. If you added the MGAB rider during the 30-day period preceding your first
contract anniversary after the date of this prospectus, your MGAB Date will be the first contract anniversary
occurring after 10 years after the rider date. The MGAB rider is not available if the MGAB Date would fall beyond
the latest annuity start date.

Notification. We will report any crediting of the MGAB in your first quarterly statement following the MGAB
Date.

No Cancellation. Once you purchase the MGAB rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract
during the Contract’s free look period, which also automatically cancels the MGAB rider. Once the Contract
continues beyond the free look period, you may not cancel the MGAB rider.

Termination. The MGAB rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefit offered by the rider is
intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The
MGAB rider automatically terminates if you:

  • annuitize, surrender or otherwise terminate your Contract during the accumulation phase; or
  • die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple contract owners, or at death of annuitant if contract owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.

The MGAB rider will also terminate if there is a change in contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary
continuation on your death), including addition of a joint owner.

Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB Rider”). The MGIB rider is an optional benefit which
guarantees a minimum amount of annuity income will be available to you if you annuitize on the MGIB Date (as
defined below), regardless of fluctuating market conditions. Please note that if you elect the MGIB rider, you may
not allocate contract value to the Fixed Interest Division. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the MGIB rider.
The minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income will depend on the amount of premiums you pay during the
five contract years after you purchase the rider, the MGIB Rate (as defined below), the adjustment for Special Fund
transfers, and any withdrawals you take while the MGIB rider is in effect. Investing in Special Funds may limit the
MGIB benefit because for purposes of determining the MGIB Benefit Base, Special Funds allocations are not
subject to accumulation at the MGIB Rate, and withdrawals and transfers from Special Funds are not dollar-for-
dollar, but pro-rata, meaning the MGIB Benefit Base may be reduced by the same proportion that contract value
allocated to Special Funds is reduced. For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased on and after September 4,
2007, the minimum guaranteed amount will also include any eligible premium credits.

Purchase. To purchase the MGIB rider, you must be age 75 or younger on the rider date and the ten-year
waiting period must end at or prior to the latest annuity start date. Before April 28, 2008, the maximum age was 79.

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

27


Some broker-dealers may not offer the MGIB rider, or may limit availability of the rider to younger ages. The rider
date is the date the MGIB rider becomes effective. Generally, the MGIB rider must be purchased (i) on the contract
date, or (ii) within thirty days after the contract date. We may allow election at other times at our discretion. There
is a ten-year waiting period before you can annuitize under the MGIB rider.

The MGIB Date. The MGIB Date is the date on which you may exercise your right to begin receiving annuity
income payments pursuant to the MGIB Rider. The MGIB Date always coincides with your Contract’s anniversary
date. You may not exercise your right to begin receiving annuity income payments pursuant to the MGIB Rider
until the MGIB Date that is at least ten years after the rider date.

Charges. The charge we deduct under the MGIB Rider is 0.75% of the MGIB Benefit Base. The calculation
of the MGIB Benefit Base is described in “Determining the MGIB Annuity Income,” below. The MGIB rider
automatically terminates if the contract value is insufficient to pay the charge for the MGIB rider.

How the MGIB Rider Works. Ordinarily, the amount of income that will be available to you on the annuity
start date is based on your contract value, the annuity option you selected and the guaranteed or the income factors
in effect on the date you annuitize. If you purchase the MGIB rider, the amount of income that will be available to
you upon annuitization on the MGIB Date is the greatest of:

1)      your annuity income based on your contract value on the MGIB Date applied to the guaranteed income factors specified in your Contract for the annuity option you selected;
 
2)      your annuity income based on your contract value on the MGIB Date applied to the then-current income factors in effect for the annuity option you selected; or
 
3)      the MGIB annuity income based on your MGIB Benefit Base on the MGIB Date applied to the MGIB income factors specified in your rider for the MGIB annuity option you selected. Prior to applying the MGIB income factors, we will adjust the MGIB Benefit Base for any premium tax recovery that would otherwise apply at annuitization.
 

The guaranteed factors contained in the MGIB rider generally provide lower payout per $1,000 of value applied than
the guaranteed factors found in your Contract. Although the minimum income provided under the rider can be
determined in advance, the contract value in the future is unknown, so the income provided under a contract with the
MGIB rider attached may be greater or less than the income that would be provided under the Contract without the
rider. Generally, the income calculated under the rider will be greater than the income provided under the Contract
whenever the MGIB Benefit Base (greater of the Rollup and Ratchet Bases) is sufficiently in excess of the contract
value to offset the additional conservatism reflected in the rider’s income factors compared to those in the Contract.
The income factors in the MGIB rider generally reflect a lower interest rate and more conservative mortality than
the income factors in the Contract. The degree of relative excess that the income factors require to produce more
income will vary for each individual circumstance. If the contract value exceeds the MGIB Benefit Base at time of
annuitization, the Contract will always produce greater income than the rider. Please see Appendix E — Examples
of Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Calculation.

The MGIB Benefit Base is only a calculation used to determine the MGIB annuity income. The MGIB Benefit Base
does not represent a contract value, nor does it guarantee performance of the subaccounts in which you are invested.
It is also not used in determining the amount of your cash surrender value and death benefits. Any reset of contract
value under provisions of the Contract or other riders will not increase the MGIB Benefit Base or Maximum MGIB
Base (as defined below).

The MGIB Benefit Base is tracked separately for Covered and Special Funds, based on initial allocation of premium
and any premium credit, if applicable. Contract value (not eligible premium) is used as the initial value if the rider
is added after the contract date. The MGIB Benefit Base also will include subsequent eligible premiums, if any,
which are premiums and related premium credits paid within five years of purchasing the MGIB rider. (Premiums
and related premium credits paid after the rider date are excluded.) The following investment options are designated
as Special Funds for purposes of calculating the MGIB Benefit Base: the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio. The
ProFunds VP Rising Rates Opportunity Portfolio is also a Special Fund, but closed to new allocations, effective

Covered Funds and Special Funds, please see “The Trust and Funds - Covered Funds and Special Funds.”

Prior to your latest annuity start date, you may choose to exercise your right to receive payments under the MGIB
rider. Payments under the rider begin on the MGIB Date. We require a 10-year waiting period before you can
annuitize the MGIB rider benefit. The MGIB must be exercised in the 30-day period prior to the end of the waiting
period or any subsequent contract anniversary. At your request, the Company may in its discretion extend the latest
contract annuity start date without extending the MGIB Date.

Determining the MGIB Annuity Income. On the MGIB Date, we calculate your MGIB annuity income as
follows:

1)      We first determine your MGIB Benefit Base: The MGIB Benefit Base is equal to the greater of the MGIB Rollup Base and the MGIB Ratchet Base.
 
  a)      Calculation of MGIB Rollup Base
 
   The MGIB Rollup Base is equal to the lesser of the Maximum MGIB Base and the sum of (a), and
 
   (b)      where:
 
   (a)      is the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds;
 
   (b)      is the MGIB Rollup Base for Special Funds;
 
   The Maximum MGIB Base applicable to the MGIB Rollup Base is 250% of eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), adjusted pro-rata for withdrawals. This means that the Maximum MGIB Base is reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the contract value. The Maximum MGIB Base is not allocated by Fund category.
 
   The MGIB Rate. Calculation of the MGIB Rollup Base will be impacted by the MGIB Rate. The MGIB Rate is an annual effective rate at which the eligible premiums (including any related premium credits) accumulate, which is currently 7%. As noted below, eligible premiums (including any related premium credits) accumulate at the MGIB Rate only up until the oldest contract owner reaches age 80 or the MGIB Rollup Base reaches the Maximum MGIB Base, and only to the extent that premiums are invested in Covered Funds.
 
   For example, assume a contract was issued on September 4, 2007 with an initial premium of $10,000, and the issue age of the contract owner was age 60, with an MGIB Date of September 4, 2017. Assuming 100% of the premium was allocated to Covered Funds, the MGIB Rollup Base would be $19,672 on the MGIB Date, the result of the $10,000 initial premium multiplied by the 7% MGIB Rate annually for the 10-year period between the issue date and the MGIB Date.
 
   The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds equals the eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), allocated to Covered Funds, adjusted for subsequent withdrawals and transfers taken or made while the MGIB rider is in effect, accumulated at the MGIB Rate to the earlier of the oldest owner reaching age 80 and the MGIB Rollup Base reaching the Maximum MGIB Base. The MGIB Rollup Base accumulates at 0% thereafter. The MGIB Rate is currently 7%. The MGIB Rate is an annual effective rate. We may, at our discretion, discontinue offering this rate. The MGIB Rate will not change for those contracts that have already purchased the MGIB rider.
 
   The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds equals the eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), allocated to Special Funds, adjusted for subsequent withdrawals and transfers taken or made while the MGIB rider is in effect. The MGIB Rate does not apply to the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds, so the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds does not accumulate.
 

ING Empire Traditions – 147957

29


  Withdrawals reduce the MGIB Rollup Base on a pro-rata basis. The percentage reduction in the MGIB Rollup Base for each Fund category (i.e. Covered or Special) equals the percentage reduction in contract value in that Fund category resulting from the withdrawal. This means that the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the contract value allocated to Covered Funds or Special Funds. For example, if the contract value in Covered Funds is reduced by 25% as the result of a withdrawal, the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds is also reduced by 25% (rather than by the amount of the withdrawal).
 
  Because the MGIB Rollup Base is tracked separately for Covered and Special Funds, when you make transfers between Covered and Special Funds, there is an impact on the MGIB Rollup Base. Net transfers between Covered Funds and Special Funds will reduce the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds or Special Funds, as applicable, on a pro-rata basis. This means that the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds or Special Funds will be reduced by the same percentage as the transfer bears to the contract value allocated to Covered Funds or Special Funds. For example, if the contract value in Covered Funds is reduced by 25% as the result of the transfer, the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds is also reduced by 25% (rather than by the amount of the transfer). The resulting increase in the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds will equal the reduction in the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds. Transfers from Special Funds to Covered Funds are treated in the same way.
 
  In a case where the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds is greater than the contract value in Covered Funds, a transfer from Covered Funds will result in the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds being reduced by a dollar amount that is higher than the dollar amount of the transfer. A higher reduction to the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds will have a larger negative impact on the MGIB Benefit Base, potentially reducing the minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income upon annuitization under the MGIB rider. This means the benefit you receive under the MGIB rider will not be as great because of the transfer.
 
  For example, assume the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds prior to a transfer from Covered Funds was $12,000 at a time that the contract value in Covered Funds was $10,000. If the contract owner transferred 25% of this $10,000 ($2,500) from the contract value in the Covered Funds, it would result in a 25% decrease in the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds, or $3,000 ($12,000 * 25%), which is $500 more than the amount actually transferred from the Covered Funds.
 
b)      Calculation of MGIB Ratchet Base
 
  The MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds equals:
 
 
  • on the rider date, eligible premiums (including any related premium credits) or the contract value (if the rider is added after the contract date) allocated to Covered Funds and Special Funds;
     
     
  • on each “quarterly anniversary date” prior to attainment of age 90, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is set equal to the greater of:
     
       1)      the current contract value allocated to Covered Funds and Special Funds (after any deductions occurring on that date); and
     
       2)      the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds from the prior quarterly anniversary date, adjusted for any new eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds or Special Funds, and transfers.
     
     
  • at other times, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is the MGIB Ratchet Base from the prior quarterly anniversary date, adjusted for subsequent eligible
     

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    30


      premiums (including any related premium credits), withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds
    or Special Funds, and transfers.

    A “quarterly anniversary date” is the date three months from the contract date that falls on the
    same date in the month as the contract date. For example, if the contract date is February 12, the
    quarterly anniversary date is May 12. If there is no corresponding date in the month, the quarterly
    anniversary date will be the last date of such month. If the quarterly anniversary date falls on a
    weekend or holiday, we will use the value as of the subsequent business day.

    Withdrawals reduce the MGIB Ratchet Base on a pro-rata basis. The percentage reduction in the
    MGIB Ratchet Base for each fund category (i.e., Covered Funds and Special Funds) equals the
    percentage reduction in contract value in that fund category resulting from the withdrawal. This
    means that the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is reduced for
    withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the contract value allocated to
    Covered Funds and Special Funds. For example, if the contract value in Covered Funds is
    reduced by 25% as the result of a withdrawal (including surrender charge), the MGIB Ratchet
    Base allocated to Covered Funds is also reduced by 25% (rather than the amount of the
    withdrawal).

    2) Then we determine the MGIB annuity income by multiplying your MGIB Benefit Base (adjusted
    for any surrender charge and premium taxes) by the income factor, and then divide by $1,000.

      MGIB Income Options

      The following are the MGIB Income Options available under the MGIB Rider:

    (i)      If MGIB Benefit exercised at ages 10-73:
     
      Income for Life (Single Life or Joint with 100% Survivor) with no more than a 10 year certain fixed period.
     
    (ii)      If MGIB Benefit exercised at ages 74-89:
     
      Income for Life (Single Life or Joint with 100% Survivor) with no more than a six year certain period.
     
    (iii)      Any other income plan offered by the Company in conjunction with the MGIB rider on the MGIB Date.
     

    For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before September 4, 2007, the exercise ranges were 10 to 74 and 75 to
    89. Also, the period certain was seven years instead of six if the MGIB rider is to be exercised during the later age
    range.

    Once during the life of the Contract, you have the option to elect to apply up to 50% of the MGIB Benefit Base to
    one of the MGIB Income Options available under the Rider. This option may only be exercised in the 30-day period
    prior to a contract anniversary at or after the end of the waiting period. The portion of the MGIB Benefit Base so
    applied will be used to determine the MGIB income, as is otherwise described in the prospectus. The Contract Value
    will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. Any subsequent exercise of your right to receive payments under the MGIB
    rider must be for 100% of the remaining value. The exercise of this partial annuitization of the MGIB Benefit Base
    does not affect your right to annuitize under the Contract without regard to the rider. The amount applied to the
    partial annuitization will be treated as a withdrawal for purposes of adjusting contract and rider values.

    Please note that if you elect partial annuitization, income payments received will be taxed as withdrawals.
    Please consult your tax adviser before making this election, as the taxation of partial annuitization is
    uncertain.

    Investment Option Restrictions. For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased on and after September 4,
    2007, there is an asset allocation requirement. We require that your contract value be allocated in accordance with
    certain limitations in order to mitigate the insurance risk inherent in our guarantee to provide you with a guaranteed

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    31


    minimum amount of annuity income if you annuitize on the MGIB Date (subject to the terms and conditions of the
    MGIB rider). There are Accepted Funds, Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds for purposes of this asset
    allocation requirement. We are not currently applying this asset allocation requirement to the MGIB rider.

      Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:

    ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio; 
    ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio; 
    ING Liquid Assets Portfolio; 
    ING MFS Total Return Portfolio; 
    ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio; 
    ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio;  
    ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index Portfolio; and 
    BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Portfolio. 

    We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days written notice to you. If a change is made, the change
    will apply to contract value allocated to such portfolios after the date of the change.

    Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: the ING American Funds Bond
    Portfolio;the ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio; the ING PIMCO Core Bond Portfolio;
    and the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio are
    designated as Fixed Allocation Funds. You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation
    Funds. We consider the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.

    Other Funds. All portfolios available under the contract other than the Accepted Funds or Fixed
    Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less
    than a percentage of the total contract value allocated to both the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any
    MGIB Rebalancing Date (as defined below), then we will automatically rebalance the contract value allocated to the
    Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the appropriate percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed
    Allocation Funds. This is called Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing and the percentage is stated in your
    Contract. Currently, the minimum Fixed Allocation Fund percentage is zero – we are not currently imposing these
    asset allocation requirements. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
    Any rebalancing is done on a pro-rata basis among the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds and will be the last
    transaction processed on that date.

    The MGIB Rebalancing Dates occur on each annual contract anniversary and after any one of the following
    transactions:

    1)      receipt of additional premiums;
     
    2)      transfer or reallocation among Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
     
    3)      withdrawals from a Fixed Allocation Fund or Other Fund.
     

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the contract.
    However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with
    the investment option restrictions noted above, then Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur
    immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “Appendix G- Examples of
    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    32


    Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation statement that will be mailed to you
    after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.

    In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in reallocation into the Fixed
    Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “Appendix G– Examples of Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the MGIB rider, you are
    providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including
    reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the MGIB rider if you do not wish to
    have your contract value reallocated in this manner.

    Relationship of Accepted Funds, Other Funds and Fixed Allocation Funds to Special Funds, Covered
    Funds and Restricted Funds. In general, Special Funds, Covered Funds and Restricted Funds impact the value of
    certain benefits available under living benefit riders, while Accepted Funds and Other Funds relate to the asset
    allocation requirements required under the living benefit riders. Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing and
    its fund designations (Accepted Funds, Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds) are in addition to the designations
    for purposes of calculating the MGIB Benefit Base (Covered Funds and Special Funds). Please see “The Trusts and
    Funds – Covered Funds and Special Funds” and “The Trusts and Funds – Restricted Funds.” Because of this, your
    ability to allocate your entire contract value to all Covered Funds for purposes of calculating the MGIB Benefit Base
    is subject to Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. In the event you allocate contract value to Covered
    Funds for the purposes of calculating the MGIB Benefit Base that are considered Other Funds for purposes of the
    above asset allocation requirements, you will be required to satisfy the asset allocation requirements of Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. However, we are not currently imposing these asset allocation
    requirements.

    In the event an investment option was designated a Restricted Fund, any allocations to a specific investment option
    would be further limited to the investment limitations of these funds. Please see “The Trusts and Funds – Restricted
    Funds.” Currently, no investment options are designated as a Restricted Fund.





    It is possible for an investment option to have two different
    designations: An Accepted Fund for purposes of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may also be a
    Special Fund for purposes of calculating the MGIB Rollup Base. While Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, and so your allocation to that investment option as an Accepted Fund
    would not be subject to Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, the MGIB Rollup Base is impacted as a
    consequence in as much as your allocation to that investment division as a Special Fund would not accumulate at the
    MGIB Rate of 7% per year. Therefore, if we were currently imposing the asset allocation requirements, and a
    contract owner wished to avoid this result, he or she could allocate among the remaining Accepted Funds, as well as
    among the remaining Other Funds that are not designated as Special Funds (subject to Fixed Allocation Funds
    Automatic Rebalancing).

    No Cancellation. Once you purchase the MGIB rider, you may not cancel it unless you: a) cancel the Contract
    during the Contract’s free look period; b) surrender the Contract; c) begin the income phase and start receiving
    annuity payments; or d) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel
    the MGIB rider. Once the Contract continues beyond the free look period, you may not cancel the MGIB rider.

    Termination. The MGIB rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefit offered by the rider is
    intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The
    MGIB rider automatically terminates if you:

    • annuitize, surrender or otherwise terminate your Contract during the accumulation phase;
    • do not have contract value that is sufficient to pay the charge for the MGIB rider; or

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    33


    • die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple contract owners, or at death of annuitant if contract owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.

    Change of Owner or Annuitant. The MGIB rider will also terminate upon a change of ownership, including
    adding a joint owner. Once you purchase the MGIB rider, the annuitant may not be changed except when an
    annuitant who is not a contract owner dies prior to annuitization, in which case a new annuitant may be named in
    accordance with the provisions of your Contract. The MGIB Base is unaffected and continues to accumulate.

    In addition to spousal continuation, the following transactions are not considered a change of ownership for
    purposes of termination of the MGIB rider:

    1)      Transfers from custodian to custodian;
     
    2)      Transfers from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to that same individual;
     
    3)      Transfers from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    4)      Collateral assignments;
     
    5)      Transfers from trust to trust where the contract owner and the grantor of the trust is the same individual;
     
    6)      Transfers from an individual to a trust where the contract owner and the grantor of the trust is the same individual; or
     
    7)      Transfers from a trust to an individual where the contract owner and the grantor of the trust is the same individual.
     

    Notification. On or about 30 days prior to the MGIB Date, we will provide you with notification which will
    include an estimate of the amount of MGIB annuity benefit available if you choose to exercise it. We will determine
    the actual amount of the MGIB annuity benefit as of the MGIB Date.

    The MGIB rider does not restrict or limit your right to annuitize the Contract at any time permitted under
    the Contract. The MGIB rider does not restrict your right to annuitize the Contract using contract values
    that may be higher than the MGIB annuity benefit.

    The benefits associated with the MGIB rider are available only if you annuitize your Contract under the
    rider and in accordance with the provisions set forth above. Annuitizing using the MGIB may result in a
    more favorable stream of income payments, and different tax consequences, under your Contract. Because
    the MGIB rider is based on conservative actuarial factors, the level of lifetime income that it guarantees may
    be less than the level that might be provided by the application of your Contract value to the Contract’s
    applicable annuity factors. You should consider all of your options at the time you begin the income phase of
    your Contract.

    ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”) Rider. The ING LifePay
    Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum
    level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of the annuitant, even if these withdrawals deplete
    your Contract value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your
    income.

    Purchase. Beginning on and after January 28, 2008, you may elect to purchase the ING LifePay Plus rider.
    The annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint annuitants are
    not allowed. The maximum issue age is 80. The issue age is the age of the owner (or the annuitant if there are joint
    owners or the owner is non-natural) on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. The ING LifePay
    Plus rider is subject to broker/dealer availability. The ING LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your contract

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    34


    value is allocated in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option
    Restrictions,” below. Please note that with the ING LifePay Plus rider, you cannot allocate contract value to a
    Fixed Interest Division at any time.

    Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 are eligible for the ING LifePay Plus rider, subject to the
    conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have a living
    benefit rider. Or if your Contract meets the above eligibility date and has the ING LifePay rider, you may upgrade
    to the ING LifePay Plus rider for a limited time. There is an election form for this purpose. Please contact the
    Customer Service Center for more information.

    Rider Date. The rider date is the date the ING LifePay Plus rider becomes effective. If you purchase the ING
    LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the rider effective date is also the Contract date. If the rider is
    added after contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly
    contract anniversary.

    No Cancellation. Once you purchase the ING LifePay Plus rider, you many not cancel it unless you: a) cancel
    the Contract during the Contract’s free look period; b) surrender the Contract; c) begin the income phase and
    start receiving annuity payments; or d) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events
    automatically cancel the ING LifePay Plus rider.

    Termination. The ING LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered
    are intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase.
    The optional rider automatically terminates if you:

    1)      terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the ING LifePay Plus rider; or
     
    2)      die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract owners, or death of annuitant if Contract owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
     

    The ING LifePay Plus rider will also terminate if there is a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal
    beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the ING LifePay Plus rider to
    terminate automatically are discussed below.

    How the ING LifePay Plus Rider Works. The ING LifePay Plus rider has both phases and statuses. Through
    the lifetime of the ING LifePay Plus rider, you will be in one of two phases: the Growth Phase or the Withdrawal
    Phase. As detailed below, the Growth Phase begins on the effective date of the rider and ends as of the business day
    before you take your first withdrawal, or on your Contract’s annuity start date. See “The Income Phase –
    Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments.” During the Growth Phase, no benefits under the ING
    LifePay Plus rider are being paid out; rather, during the Growth Phase, premiums and investment growth under your
    contract continue to accumulate. The Withdrawal Phase follows the Growth Phase and begins once you take your
    first withdrawal or annuity payment, whichever occurs first. During the Withdrawal Phase, you may withdraw
    guaranteed amounts from your Contract, subject to the terms and conditions noted in this section.

    During the Withdrawal Phase, this rider has four different statuses that come in a pair to fulfill your withdrawal
    guarantee: Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and Automatic Periodic Benefit Status; and Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status and Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Together, these status pairs operate to fulfill the
    rider’s withdrawal guarantee and depend on how old your annuitant is when you take your first withdrawal.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly contract
    anniversary following the annuitant reaching age 59 ½ has not yet passed, and continues until certain circumstances
    occur as noted in “Guaranteed Withdrawal Status” below. Thereafter, Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would
    begin ONLY IF your contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other than withdrawals that exceed the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are no longer
    entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING LifePay Plus rider, you will begin to receive periodic

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    35


    payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal until the MGWB Base is exhausted.
    Alternatively, in the event your contract value is depleted because of withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, then Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would not begin. Rather, the Contract and the ING LifePay
    Plus rider will terminate without value. While the Withdrawal Phase of your rider may begin in Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status, your rider may not enter Automatic Periodic Benefit Status

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, provided the quarterly contract
    anniversary following the annuitant’s age 59 ½ has passed, and continues until certain circumstances occur as noted
    in the “Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status” below. Thereafter, Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status
    would begin ONLY IF you contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other than withdrawals that exceed the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status, you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING LifePay Plus rider, you will begin to
    receive periodic payments in an amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Alternatively, in the event your
    contract value is depleted because of withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would not begin. Rather, the Contract and the ING LifePay Plus rider will
    terminate without value.

    Benefits paid under the ING LifePay Plus rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The
    ING LifePay Plus Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:

    1)      If you purchased the ING LifePay Plus rider on the Contract date, the initial ING LifePay Plus Base is equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or premium credit, available with your Contract).
     
    2)      If you purchased the ING LifePay Plus rider after the Contract date, the initial ING LifePay Plus Base is equal to the Contract value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
     

    During the Growth Phase, the ING LifePay Plus Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums
    received, excluding any applicable premium credits
    (“eligible premiums”). In addition, on each quarterly contract anniversary, the ING LifePay
    Plus Base is recalculated as the greater of:

    • The current ING LifePay Plus Base; or
    • The current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation). This is referred to as a quarterly “ratchet.”

    Also, on each of the first ten contract anniversaries ONLY after the Annuitant has reached age 59 ½, the ING
    LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greatest of:

    • The current ING LifePay Plus Base; or
    • The current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation); and
    • The ING LifePay Plus Base on the previous contract anniversary, increased by 7%, plus any eligible premiums and minus any third-party investment advisory fees paid from your contract during the year.
      This is referred to as an annual “step-up.” (Any premium credits applied are excluded from the eligible premiums with a step-up.)

    Please note that there are no partial step-ups. Step-ups are not pro-rated. So for existing Contracts to which this
    rider is attached (a post Contract issuance election), the first opportunity for a step-up will not be until the first
    contract anniversary after a full contract year has elapsed since the rider effective date, SO LONG AS the Annuitant
    is at least age 59 ½.

    Say for example that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the contract owner decides to add LifePay Plus
    on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    36


    quarterly contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008 a full contract year will not have elapsed since the rider
    effective date, the ING LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a step-
    up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009, assuming the Annuitant is age 59 ½.

    This rider has no cash value. You cannot surrender the Contract for the ING LifePay Plus Base. The ING LifePay
    Plus Base is not available to annuitize.

    Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of
    determining the ING LifePay Plus Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat
    such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during
    the Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal
    under the benefit reset feature of the ING LifePay Plus rider (see “ING LifePay Plus Reset,” below). We reserve the
    right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly
    contract anniversary has not passed on which or after the annuitant is age 59 ½. While the ING LifePay Plus rider is
    in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, withdrawals in a contract year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will
    reduce the ING LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar. Withdrawals while the ING LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status are not guaranteed for the lifetime of the annuitant. This status will then continue until the
    earliest of:

    1)      quarterly contract anniversary following the annuitant reaching age 59 ½, provided the contract owner does not decline the change to Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status;
     
    2)      reduction of the ING LifePay Plus Base to zero, at which time the rider will terminate;
     
    3)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    4)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    5)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
     
    6)      the surrender of the Contract;
     
    7)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; annuitant, in the case of a non-natural owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract; or
     
    8)      automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
     

    You will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, if you are in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and become
    eligible for the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This notice will explain the change, its impact to you and
    your options. You may decline this change.

    Please note that with the automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, it is possible that the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as recalculated, will be less, due to your withdrawals (and reduction of the ING
    LifePay Plus Base as a result) while the rider was in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. See Appendix F,
    Illustration 6, for an example. Also please note, however, that by declining automatic reset into the Lifetime
    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, your ING LifePay Plus Base will not thereafter be automatically reset quarterly – to
    the then current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the
    calculation) if the contract value is higher – as it could be while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal
    Status. No further resets will be available. For more information, please see “ING LifePay Plus Reset” below.

    If you decline the automatic reset, your rider will continue in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. There will not be
    another opportunity to automatically reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. Thereafter, in the event

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    37


    contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, including due to poor market performance, your rider’s status will change to Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status. In Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than the payments as provided under the ING LifePay
    Plus rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). In the event contract value is
    reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and rider will
    terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the Contract value to zero,
    please see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below.

    Please see below for more information about each of this rider’s four different statuses.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of your first withdrawal, SO LONG
    AS the quarterly contract anniversary has passed on which or after the annuitant is age 59 ½. Or for Contracts in
    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins upon automatic reset. This status
    continues until the earliest of:

    1)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    2)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    3)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
     
    4)      the surrender of the Contract; or
     
    5)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
     

    The rider’s status changes to Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event Contract value is reduced to
    zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including due to poor
    market performance. In Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than the payments as provided under the
    ING LifePay Plus rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). Otherwise, if
    Contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and
    rider will terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the Contract
    value to zero, please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below. As described below, certain features
    of the ING LifePay Plus rider may differ depending on whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.

      Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    determined on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals a percentage of the greater of 1) the Contract
    value and 2) the ING LifePay Plus Base as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the
    effective date of the rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day
    of the Withdrawal Phase, after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the annuitant on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as
    follows:

        Maximum Annual 
    Annuitant Age    Withdrawal Percentage 


    0-75*    5%* 


    76-80    6% 


    81+    7% 



      *If the Withdrawal Phase begins before the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the annuitant reaches
    age 59-1/2, withdrawals in a contract year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the ING
    LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar, under what we refer to as the “Standard Withdrawal Benefit.”

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    38


    Then, on the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the annuitant reaches age 59 ½, the ING LifePay Plus
    Base will automatically be reset to the current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during
    the preceding 36 months), if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be recalculated.

    Once determined, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract, except as
    provided for under spousal continuation. See “Continuation After Death – Spouse,” below. This is important
    to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the
    lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.

    If the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while you are in the ING LifePay Plus rider’s
    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu
    of the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the
    Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is subject to change depends on the extent of your withdrawals.
    The amount of your withdrawal or withdrawals in any Contract year that, when added together, do not exceed
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal do not reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, if the total
    amount of your withdrawals in any Contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced in the same proportion as the contract value is reduced by the
    amount of the excess withdrawal.

    For this purpose, an excess withdrawal is the lesser of the amount by which your total withdrawals in a
    Contract year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the amount of your present request for a
    withdrawal. The amount of any applicable premium credit deduction (recapture) or surrender charges are not
    included in determining whether the total amount of your withdrawals in a Contract year exceeds the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal and triggers a pro-rata reduction. However, in the event that the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal is to be subject to a pro-rata reduction because of an excess withdrawal, the amount by
    which the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced will include any premium credit deduction and
    surrender charges. See Appendix F, Illustrations 1 and 2 for examples of this concept.

    Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required
    Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the ING LifePay
    Plus rider and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such
    withdrawal that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract year will not be deemed
    excess withdrawals in that Contract year for purposes of the ING LifePay Plus rider, subject to the following
    rules:

    1)      If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before January 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
     
    2)      Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year – without being deemed an excess withdrawal.
     
    3)      In the event of any withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts, the dollar amount of these withdrawals will be deemed excess withdrawals that cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be reduced on a pro-rata basis, as described above.
     
    4)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional

    39


      Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any amount remaining will expire.
     
    5)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount does not change in the event you choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. See “ING LifePay Plus Reset Option” below. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is only subject to change when the Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset as described above.
     

    See Appendix FI, Illustrations 3 and 4.

    Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the
    payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of
    the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase, such
    withdrawals reduce the ING LifePay Plus Base on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and during the Withdrawal Phase,
    these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.

    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate without value due to the pro-rata
    reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above.

    If the Contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING LifePay Plus rider, you will
    begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, until the
    remaining ING LifePay Plus Base is exhausted.

    When the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the ING LifePay Plus rider;
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal
    to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will continue until the ING LifePay Plus Base is
    reduced to zero, at which time the rider will terminate without value.

    If when the ING LifePay Plus rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date are
    less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you the difference
    immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract year following the date
    the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.

    You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic
    withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the contract value will be
    withdrawn from your contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at
    the time the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the
    Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal
    amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract year will equal the annual Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments
    were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the
    payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract year or Contract year, as applicable.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

      Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in
    excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate without value due to the
    pro-rata reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above.

    If the Contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING
    LifePay Plus rider, you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal.

    When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the ING LifePay Plus rider;
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount
    that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the annuitant at
    which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the annuitant’s death.

    If when the ING LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to
    date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you the difference
    immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract year following the date
    the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.

    You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic
    withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon percentage of the contract value will be withdrawn
    from your contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time
    the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the
    Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal
    amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract year will equal the annual Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments
    were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the
    payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract year or Contract year, as applicable.

    ING LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each quarterly contract anniversary we will increase (or “reset”)
    the ING LifePay Plus Base to the current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36
    months preceding the calculation), if the Contract value is higher. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also
    be recalculated, and the remaining portion of the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be available for
    withdrawal immediately. This reset ONLY occurs when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status,
    and is automatic.

    We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider with a reset. In this event, you will receive prior notice,
    of not less than 30 days, which explains the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this
    change (and the reset). Please note, however, that by declining a reset, your ING LifePay Plus Base will not
    thereafter be reset quarterly (and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated); no further
    resets will be available.

    Investment Option Restrictions. While the ING LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the
    portfolios to which your Contract value may be allocated. Contract value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted
    Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    41


    “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these restrictions to mitigate the insurance risk
    inherent in our guarantees with this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to
    the Contract. The timing of when and how we apply these restrictions is discussed further below.

    Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are: ING American Funds Asset Allocation
    Portfolio; ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio; ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio;
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio; ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio; ING Liquid Assets
    Portfolio; ING MFS Total Return Portfolio; ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio; ING
    Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio; ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index
    Portfolio; andBlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Portfolio. We may change these designations at any time
    upon 30 days notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract value allocated to such
    portfolios after the date of the change.

    Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: the ING American Funds Bond
    Portfolio, ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio; the ING PIMCO Core Bond Portfolio;
    and the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio
    . You may allocate your contract value to one or more of
    the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed
    Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.

    Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed
    Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is
    less than 20% of the total Contract value allocated to both the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any
    ING LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract value allocated to the Fixed
    Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds.
    Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done
    on a pro-rata basis from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction
    processed on that date. The ING LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after
    the following transactions:

    1)      receipt of additional premiums;
     
    2)      transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
     
    3)      withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
     

      Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the
    Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of
    compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic
    Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See
    “Appendix G– Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that
    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a
    confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has
    occurred.

    In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the
    Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “Appendix G
    Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the ING
    LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these
    transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the ING
    LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract value reallocated in this manner.

    Death of Owner or Annuitant. The ING LifePay Plus rider and charges will terminate on the date of
    death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner), or the annuitant if there is a non-natural
    owner.

    Continuation After Death – Spouse. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the
    Contract (see “Death Benefit Choices – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue on the
    next quarterly contract anniversary, provided the spouse becomes the annuitant and sole owner.

    If the rider is in the Growth Phase at the time of spousal continuation:

    1)      The rider will continue in the Growth Phase;
     
    2)      On the date the rider is continued, the ING LifePay Plus Base will be reset to equal the greater of the ING LifePay Plus Base and the then current Contract value;
     
    3)      The ING LifePay Plus charges will restart and be the same as were in effect prior to the claim date;
     
    4)      Ratchets, which stop on the claim date, are restarted, effective on the date the rider is continued;
     
    5)      Any remaining step-ups will be available, and if the rider is continued before an annual contract anniversary when a step-up would have been available, then that step-up will be available;
     
    6)      The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage will be determined as of the date of the first withdrawal, whenever it occurs, and will be based on the spouse’s age on that date; and
     
    7)      The rider’s Standard Withdrawal Benefit will be available until the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the spouse is age 59 ½.
     

    If the rider is in the Withdrawal Phase at the time of spousal continuation:

    1)      The rider will continue in the Withdrawal Phase.
     
    2)      The rider’s charges will restart on the date the rider is continued and be the same as were in effect prior to the claim date.
     
    3)      On the quarterly Contract anniversary that the date the rider is continued:
     
      (a)      If the surviving spouse was not the annuitant before the owner’s death, then the ING LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contract value and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the new ING LifePay Plus Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage based on the surviving spouse’s age on that date. Withdrawals are permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the rider. Withdrawals causing the Contract value to fall to zero will terminate the Contract and the rider.
     
      (b)      If the surviving spouse was the annuitant before the owner’s death, then the ING LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contract value, only if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the new ING LifePay Plus Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage based on the surviving spouse’s age on that date. Withdrawals are permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the rider.
     
    4)      The rider charges will restart on the quarter Contract anniversary that the rider is continued and will be the same as were in effect prior to the claim date.
     

    Effect of ING LifePay Plus Rider on Death Benefit. If you die before Lifetime Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status begins under the ING LifePay Plus rider, the death benefit is payable, but the rider terminates.
    However, if the beneficiary is the owner’s spouse, and the spouse elects to continue the Contract, the death

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    43


    benefit is not payable until the spouse’s death. Thus, you should not purchase this rider with multiple
    owners, unless the owners are spouses. See “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and “Continuation After Death –
    Spouse,” above for further information.

    While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner who is not the annuitant dies, we will
    continue to pay the periodic payments that the owner was receiving under the ING LifePay Plus rider to the
    beneficiary. While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if an owner who is also the annuitant dies,
    the periodic payments will stop. No other death benefit is payable.

    While the rider is in Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner dies, the remaining ING LifePay Plus Base
    will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum.

    Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as provided above under “Continuation After Death- Spouse,”
    you may not change the annuitant. The rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including
    adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:

    1)      spousal continuation as described above;
     
    2)      change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
     
    3)      change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
     
    4)      change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    5)      collateral assignments;
     
    6)      change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
     
    7)      change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual; and
     
    8)      change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual.
     

    Surrender Charges. If you elect the ING LifePay Plus rider, your withdrawals will be subject to
    surrender charges if they exceed the free withdrawal amount, so long as there is contract value from which to take
    your withdrawals. However, once your Contract value is zero, any periodic payments under the ING
    LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no contract value, none of your
    contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted. See Appendix F
    for examples.

    Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the ING LifePay Plus rider.

    Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the ING LifePay Plus
    Rider, see “Federal Tax Considerations – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Death Benefit.”

    ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider. The
    ING Joint LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will
    guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse,
    even if these withdrawals deplete your contract value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are
    married and are concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.

    Purchase. Beginning on and after January 28, 2008, you may elect to purchase the ING Joint LifePay Plus
    rider. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the time
    of purchase and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) when the death benefit becomes

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    44


    payable. We refer to these individuals as spouses. Certain ownership, annuitant, and beneficiary designations are
    required in order to purchase the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider. See “Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary
    Requirements,” below. The maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet these issue age requirements on the
    contract anniversary on which the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is effective. The issue age is the age of the owners
    on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is subject to
    broker/dealer availability. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your contract value is allocated
    in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. Please
    note that with the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, you cannot allocate contract value to a Fixed Interest
    Division at any time.

    Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 are eligible for the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the
    conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have a living
    benefit rider. Or if your Contract meets the above eligibility date and has the ING Joint LifePay rider, you may
    upgrade to the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider for a limited time. There is an election form for this purpose. Please
    contact our Customer Service Center for more information.

    Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary Designation Requirements. Certain ownership, annuitant, and
    beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider. These designations
    depend upon whether the contract is issued as a nonqualified contract, an IRA or a custodial IRA. In all cases, the
    ownership, annuitant, and beneficiary designations must allow for the surviving spouse to continue the contract
    when the death benefit becomes payable, as provided by the Tax Code. Non-natural, custodial owners are only
    allowed with IRAs (“custodial IRAs”). Joint annuitants are not allowed. The necessary ownership, annuitant,
    and/or beneficiary designations are described below. Applications that do not meet the requirements below will be
    rejected. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.

    Nonqualified Contracts. For a jointly owned contract, the owners must be spouses, and the annuitant
    must be one of the owners. For a contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary
    beneficiary, and the annuitant must be one of the spouses.

    IRAs. There may only be one owner, who must also be the annuitant. The owner’s spouse must be the
    sole primary beneficiary.

    Custodial IRAs. While we do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for IRAs held
    by an outside custodian, the ownership and beneficiary designations with the custodian must comply with the
    requirements listed in “IRAs” above. The annuitant must be the same as the beneficial owner of the custodial
    IRA. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and the owner’s
    spouse.

    Rider Date. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider date is the date the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider becomes
    effective. If you purchase the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider when the contract is issued, the ING Joint LifePay Plus
    rider date is also the contract date. If the rider is added after contract issue, the rider effective date will be
    the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly contract anniversary.

    No Cancellation. Once you purchase the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, you many not cancel it unless you: a)
    cancel the contract during the contract’s free look period; b) surrender the Contract; c) start receiving annuity
    payments; or d) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus rider.

    Termination. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits
    offered are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your contract is in the
    accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:

    1)      terminate your contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider;
     

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    45


    2)      die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die in the case of joint owners, or death of annuitant if the contract is a custodial IRA), unless your spouse elects to continue the contract (and your spouse is active for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider); or
     
    3)      change the owner of the contract (other than a spousal continuation by an active spouse).
     

    See “Change of Owner or Annuitant,” below. Other circumstances that may cause the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider
    to terminate automatically are discussed below.

    Active Status. Once the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider has been issued, a spouse must remain in “active” status
    in order to exercise rights and receive the benefits of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider after the first spouse’s death
    by electing spousal continuation. In general, changes to the ownership, annuitant, and/or beneficiary designation
    requirements noted above will result in one spouse being designated as “inactive.” Inactive spouses are not eligible
    to continue the benefits of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider after the death of the other spouse. Once designated
    “inactive,” a spouse may not regain active status under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider. Specific situations that will
    result in a spouse’s designation as “inactive” include the following:

    1)      For nonqualified contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an active spouse.
     
    2)      For nonqualified contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an active spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries).
     
    3)      In the event of the death of one spouse (in which case the deceased spouse becomes inactive).
     

    An owner may also request that one spouse be treated as inactive. In the case of joint-owned contracts, both
    contract owners must agree to such a request. An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any
    benefits under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider. However, all charges for the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will
    continue to apply, even if one spouse becomes inactive, regardless of the reason. You should make sure you
    understand the impact of beneficiary and owner changes on the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider prior to
    requesting any such changes.

    A divorce will terminate the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the contract. See “Divorce,” below.

    How the ING Joint LifePay Plus Rider Works. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider has both phases and
    statuses. Through the lifetime of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, you will be in one of two phases: the Growth
    Phase or the Withdrawal Phase. As detailed below, the Growth Phase begins on the effective date of the rider and
    ends as of the business day before you take your first withdrawal, or on your Contract’s annuity start date. See “The
    Income Phase – Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments.” During the Growth Phase, no benefits
    under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider are being paid out; rather, during the Growth Phase, premiums and
    investment growth under your contract continue to accumulate. The Withdrawal Phase follows the Growth Phase
    and begins once you take your first withdrawal or annuity payment, whichever occurs first. During the Withdrawal
    Phase, you may withdraw guaranteed amounts from your Contract, subject to the terms and conditions noted in this
    section.

    During the Withdrawal Phase, this rider has four different statuses that come in a pair to fulfill your withdrawal
    guarantee: Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and Automatic Periodic Benefit Status; and Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status and Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Together, these status pairs operate to fulfill the
    rider’s withdrawal guarantee and depend on how old the youngest active spouse is when you take
    your first withdrawal.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly contract
    anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday has not yet passed, and continues until certain

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    46


    circumstances occur as noted in “Guaranteed Withdrawal Status” below. Thereafter, Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status would begin ONLY IF your contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other than withdrawals that exceed
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you
    are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, you will begin to
    receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal until the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus Base is exhausted. Alternatively, in the event your contract value is depleted because of
    withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would not
    begin. Rather, the Contract and the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will terminate without value. While the
    Withdrawal Phase of your rider may begin in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, your rider may not enter Automatic
    Periodic Benefit Status.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, provided the quarterly contract
    anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday has passed, and continues until certain
    circumstances occur as noted in the “Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status” below. Thereafter, Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would begin ONLY IF you contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other
    than withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider, you will begin to receive periodic payments in an amount equal to the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. Alternatively, in the event your contract value is depleted because of withdrawals that exceed the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status would not begin. Rather, the
    Contract and the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will terminate without value.

    Benefits paid under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
    The ING Joint LifePay Plus Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the contract) is used to determine the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:

    1)      If you purchased the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider on the contract date, the initial ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is equal to the initial premium (excluding any premiumcreditavailable with your Contract).
     
    2)      If you purchased the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider after the contract date, the initial ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is equal to the contract value on the effective date of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider (excluding any premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
     

    During the Growth Phase, the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums
    received, excluding any applicable premium credits
    (“eligible premiums”). In addition, on each quarterly contract anniversary, the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greater of:

    • The current ING Joint LifePay Plus Base; or
    • The current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation). This is referred to as a quarterly “ratchet.”

    Also, on each of the first five contract anniversaries ONLY after the youngest active spouse reaches age 65, the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greatest of:

    • The current ING Joint LifePay Plus Base; or
    • The current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation); and
    • The ING Joint LifePay Plus Base on the previous contract anniversary, increased by 7%, plus any eligible premiums and minus any third-party investment advisory fees paid from your contract during the year.
      This is referred to as an annual “step-up.” (Any premium credits applied areexcluded from the eligible premiums with a step-up.)

    Please note that there are no partial step-ups. Step-ups are not pro-rated. So for existing Contracts to which this
    rider is added (a post Contract issuance election), the first opportunity for a step-up will not be until the first contract

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    47


    anniversary after a full contract year has elapsed since the rider date, SO LONG AS the youngest active
    spouse is at least age 65.

    Say for example that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the contract owner decides to add Joint LifePay
    Plus on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following
    quarterly contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008 a full contract year will not have elapsed since the rider
    effective date, the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a
    step-up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009, assuming the youngest active spouse is age 65.

    This rider has no cash value. You cannot surrender the Contract for the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base. The ING
    Joint LifePay Plus Base is not available to annuitize.

    Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of
    determining the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to
    treat such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received
    during the Withdrawal Phase do increase the contract value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal under the benefit reset feature of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider (see “ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset,”
    below). We reserve the right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly
    contract anniversary has not passed on which or after the youngest active spouse is age 65. While the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, withdrawals in a contract year up to the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal will reduce the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar. Withdrawals while the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status are not guaranteed for the lifetime of the annuitant. This
    status will then continue until the earliest of:

    1)      quarterly contract anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday, provided the contract owner does not decline the change to Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status;
     
    2)      reduction of the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base to zero, at which time the rider will terminate;
     
    3)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    4)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    5)      reduction of the Contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
     
    6)      the surrender of the Contract;
     
    7)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; annuitant, in the case of a non-natural owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract; or
     
    8)      automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
     

    You will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, if you are in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and become
    eligible for the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This notice will explain the change, its impact to you and
    your options. You may decline this change.

    Please note with the automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, it is possible that the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as recalculated, will be less due to your withdrawals (and reduction of the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus Base as a result) while the rider was in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. See Appendix F, Illustration 6,
    for an example. Also please note, however, that by declining automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status, your ING Joint LifePay Plus will not thereafter be automatically reset quarterly – to the then
    current contract value (excluding any premium credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation) if the

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    48


    contract value is higher – as it could be while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. No further
    resets will be available. For more information, please see “ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset” below.

    If you decline the automatic reset, your rider will continue in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. There will not be
    another opportunity to automatically reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. Thereafter, in the event
    contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, including due to poor market performance, your rider’s status will change to Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status. In Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than the payments as provided under the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). In the event contract
    value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and rider will
    terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the contract value to zero,
    please see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below.

    Please see below for more information about each of this rider’s four different statuses.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, SO LONG
    AS the quarterly contract anniversary has passed on which or after the youngest active spouse is age 65. Or for
    Contracts in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins upon automatic
    reset. This status continues until the earliest of:

    1)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    2)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    3)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
     
    4)      the surrender of the contract; or
     
    5)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; annuitant, in the case of a non-natural owner), unless your active spouse beneficiary elects to continue the contract.
     

    The rider’s status changes to Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event contract value is reduced to
    zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including due to poor
    market performance. In Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than the payments as provided under the
    ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). Otherwise, if
    contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and
    rider will terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the Contract
    value to zero, please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below. As described below, certain features
    of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider may differ depending on whether you are in the Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status.

    Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined
    on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals a percentage of the greater of 1) the contract value and 2)
    the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective
    date of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on
    the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, immediately after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the youngest active spouse on the date the
    Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    49


    Youngest Active    Maximum Annual 
    Spouse’s Age    Withdrawal Percentage 


    0-75*    5%* 


    76-80    6% 


    81+    7% 



    *If the Withdrawal Phase begins before the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the younger spouse
    reaches age 65, withdrawals in a contract year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar, under what we refer to as the “Standard Withdrawal
    Benefit.” Then, on the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the younger spouse reaches age 65, the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus Base will automatically be reset to the current Contract value (excluding any premium
    credits applied during the preceding 36 months), if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be
    recalculated.

    Once determined the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the contract. This is
    important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that
    time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.

    If the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while you are in the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider’s
    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of
    the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the
    Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, provided that, if both spouses are
    active, payments under the life only annuity option will be calculated using the joint life expectancy table for
    both spouses. If only one spouse is active, payments will be calculated using the single life expectancy table for
    the active spouse.

    Whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is subject to change depends on the extent of your withdrawals.
    The amount of your withdrawal or withdrawals in a contract year that, when added together, do not exceed the
    Maximum Withdrawal Amount do not reduce the Maximum Withdrawal Amount. However, if the total
    amount of your withdrawals in any contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced in the same proportion as the contract value is reduced by the
    excess withdrawal.

    For this purpose, an excess withdrawal is the lesser of the amount by which your total withdrawals in a contract
    year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the amount of your present request for a withdrawal. The
    amount of any applicable premium credit deduction (recapture) or surrender charges are not included in
    determining whether the total amount of your withdrawals in a contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and triggers a pro-rata reduction. However, in the event that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    to be subject to a pro-rata reduction because of an excess withdrawal, the amount by which the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal will be reduced will include any premium credit deduction and surrender charges. See
    Appendix FI, Illustrations 1 and 2 for examples of this concept.

    Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the contract to satisfy the Required
    Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay
    Plus rider, and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such
    withdrawal that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific contract year will not be deemed
    excess withdrawals in that contract year for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the
    following:

    1)      If the contract owner’s Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before January 31 of that year), applicable to the contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
     

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    50


    2)      Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current contract year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current contract year – without being deemed an excess withdrawal.
     
    3)      In the event of any withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts, the dollar amount of these withdrawals will be deemed excess withdrawals that cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be reduced on a pro-rata basis, as described above.
     
    4)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and is recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any remaining amount will expire.
     
    5)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount does not change in the event you choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. See “ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset Option” below. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is only subject to change when the Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset as described above.
     

    See Appendix FI, Illustrations 3 and 4.

    Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the
    payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of
    the contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase, such withdrawals
    reduce the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and during the Withdrawal Phase, these
    withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.

    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate without value due to the pro-rata
    reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above.

    If the Contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, you
    will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, until
    the remaining ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is exhausted.

    When the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider;
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal
    to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will continue until the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is
    reduced to zero, at which time the rider will terminate without value.

    If when the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date
    are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you the difference
    immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract year following the date
    the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    51


    You may elect to receive systematic payments pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a
    systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of contract value will be
    withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If,
    at the time the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under
    the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal
    amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract year will equal the annual Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments
    were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the
    payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract year or Contract year, as applicable.

    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in
    excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the contract and the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will terminate
    without value due to the pro-rata reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,”
    above.

    If the contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make
    withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider you will begin to receive periodic payments in an
    annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    When the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      the contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider;
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount
    that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The time period for which we will make these payments will
    depend upon whether one or two spouses are active under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider at the time this
    status begins. If both spouses are active under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, these payments will cease upon
    the death of the second spouse, at which time both the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider and the contract will
    terminate without further value. If only one spouse is active under the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, the
    payments will cease upon the death of the active spouse, at which time both the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider
    and the contract will terminate without value.

    If when the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net
    withdrawals to date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you
    the difference immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full contract year
    following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid
    annually thereafter.

    You may elect to receive systematic payments pursuant to the terms of the contract. Under a
    systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the contract value will
    be withdrawn from your contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually.
    If, at the time the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are
    receiving systematic withdrawals under the contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will
    be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each contract year will
    equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as
    previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made
    semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-contract year or contract year, as
    applicable.

    ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each quarterly contract anniversary we will increase (or
    “reset”) the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base to the current Contract value (excluding any premium credits applied
    during the 36 months preceding the calculation), if the Contract value is higher. The Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal will also be recalculated, and the remaining portion of the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal will
    be available for withdrawal immediately. This reset ONLY occurs when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status, and is automatic.

    We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider with a reset. In this event, you will receive prior notice,
    of not less than 30 days, which explains the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this
    change (and the reset). Please note, however, that by declining a reset, your ING Joint LifePay Plus Base will
    not thereafter be reset quarterly (and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated); no
    further resets will be available.

    Investment Option Restrictions. While the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the
    portfolios to which your contract value may be allocated. Contract value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted
    Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See
    “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these restrictions to mitigate the insurance risk
    inherent in our guarantees with this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to
    the Contract. The timing of when and how we apply these restrictions is discussed further below.

    Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are: ING American Funds Asset Allocation
    Portfolio; ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio; ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio;
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio; ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio; ING Liquid Assets
    Portfolio; ING MFS Total Return Portfolio; ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio; ING
    Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio; ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index
    Portfolio; and BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Portfolio . We may change these designations at any time
    upon 30 days notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to contract value allocated to such
    portfolios after the date of the change.

    Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: the ING American Funds Bond
    Portfolio; ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio; ING PIMCO Core Bond Portfolio; and
    the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio
    . . You may allocate contract value to one or more of the
    Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed
    Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.

    Other Funds. All portfolios available under the contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed
    Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is
    less than 20% of the total contract value allocated to both the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any
    ING Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the contract value allocated to the
    Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds.
    Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done
    on a pro-rata basis from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction
    processed on that date. The ING Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each contract anniversary and
    after the following transactions:

    </R>
    1)      receipt of additional premiums;
     
    2)      transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
     
    3)      withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.

    <R>

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the
    contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the contract causes the allocations to be out of
    compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic
    Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See
    “Appendix G – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that
    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a
    confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has
    occurred.

    In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the
    Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “Appendix G
    Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the ING
    Joint LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process
    these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the
    ING Joint LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your contract value reallocated in this manner.

    Divorce. Generally, in the event of a divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the contract will continue to
    be entitled to all rights and benefits of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any
    such rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal
    Status, the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider continues, and terminates upon the death of the owner (first owner in the
    case of joint owners, or the annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be
    available under the Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider cannot be continued by the
    new spouse. As the result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse.
    Any such withdrawal will be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. In
    other words, if a withdrawal incident to a divorce exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, it will be
    considered an excess withdrawal. See “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above. As noted, in
    the event of a divorce there is no change to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and we will continue to deduct
    charges for the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider.

    In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, there will be no change to the periodic
    payments made. Payments will continue until both spouses are deceased.

    Death of Owner. The death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner, or for custodial IRAs,
    the annuitant) may cause the termination of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider and its charges, depending upon
    whether one or both spouses are in active status at the time of death, as described below.

    </R> <R>
    1)      If  both spouses are in active status: If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract and becomes the sole owner and annuitant, the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider will remain in effect pursuant to its original terms and ING Joint LifePay Plus coverage and charges will continue. As of the date the contract is continued, the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contract value, if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be recalculated as the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the new ING Joint LifePay Plus Base on the date the contract is continued. However, under no circumstances will this recalculation result in a reduction to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
     
      If the surviving spouse elects not to continue the contract, ING Joint LifePay Plus rider coverage and charges will cease upon the earlier of payment of the death benefit or notice that an alternative distribution option has been chosen.
     
    2)      If the surviving spouse is in inactive status: The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates and ING Joint LifePay Plus coverage and charges cease upon the date of death of the last Active Spouse.
     
    </R>

    Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as a result of spousal continuation, you may not change the
    annuitant. The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including
    adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:

    <R>

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    </R>

    54


    1)      spousal continuation by an active spouse, as described above;
     
    2)      change of owner from one custodian to another custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    3)      change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (in order to avoid the owner’s spouse from being designated inactive, the owner’s spouse must be named sole beneficiary under the contract);
     
    4)      change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    5)      collateral assignments;
     
    6)      for nonqualified contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided that the additional joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is active when added as joint owner;
     
    7)      for nonqualified contracts, removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is active and becomes the primary contract beneficiary; and
     
    8)      change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner if both were active spouses at the time of the change.
     
    <R>

    Surrender Charges. If you elect the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider, the amount of your withdrawals will be
    subject to surrender charges if they exceed the free withdrawal amount, so long as there is contract value from which
    to take your withdrawals. However, once your contract value is reduced to zero, any periodic payments under the
    ING Joint LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no contract value, none of
    your contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted. See
    Appendix F for examples.

    Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider.

    Any time during the accumulation phase and before the death of the contract owner, except under certain qualified
    contracts, you may withdraw all or part of your money. Keep in mind that if you request a withdrawal for more than
    90% of the cash surrender value, and the remaining cash surrender value after the withdrawal is less than $2,500, we
    will treat it as a request to surrender the Contract. If any single withdrawal or the sum of withdrawals exceeds the
    Free Withdrawal Amount, you may incur a surrender charge. There is no surrender charge if, during each contract
    year, the amount withdrawn is 10% or less of your contract value on the date of the withdrawal, less prior
    withdrawals during that contract year. Under Option Package III, any unused percentage of the 10% Free
    Withdrawal Amount from a contract year will carry forward into successive contract years, based on the percentage
    remaining at the time of the last withdrawal in that contract year. In no event will the Free Withdrawal Amount at
    any time exceed 30% of contract value. Please see Appendix D, Surrender Charge for Excess Withdrawals
    Example.

    You need to submit to us a written request specifying the Fixed Interest Allocations or subaccounts from which
    amounts are to be withdrawn, otherwise the withdrawal will be made on a pro-rata basis from all of the subaccounts
    in which you are invested. If there is not enough contract value in the subaccounts, we will deduct the balance of
    the withdrawal from your Fixed Interest Allocations starting with the guaranteed interest periods nearest their
    maturity dates until we have honored your request. We will determine the contract value as of the close of business

    on the day we receive your withdrawal request at our Customer Service Center. The contract value may be more or
    less than the premium payments made.

    Your withdrawals under the ING LifePay, ING Joint LifePay, or MGWB riders will be subject to surrender charges
    if they exceed the free withdrawal amount. However, once your contract value is zero, the periodic payments to
    which you may be entitled under these optional riders will not be subject to surrender charges.

    If any limitation on allocations to the Restricted Funds has been exceeded, subsequent withdrawals must be taken so
    that the percentage of contract value in the Restricted Funds following the withdrawal would not be greater than the
    percentage of contract value in the Restricted Funds prior to the withdrawal. So, in this event, you would either
    need to take your withdrawal from the Restricted Funds or pro-rata from all variable subaccounts.

    For administrative purposes, we will transfer your money to a specially designated subaccount (currently, the ING
    Liquid Assets Portfolio) prior to processing the withdrawal. This transfer will not affect the withdrawal amount you
    receive. Other than the surrender charge, there is no separate charge for electing any of the withdrawal options.

    We offer the following three withdrawal options:

    Regular Withdrawals
    After the free look period, you may make regular withdrawals. Each withdrawal must be a minimum of $100.

    Systematic Withdrawals
    You may choose to receive automatic systematic withdrawal payments (1) from the contract value in the
    subaccounts in which you are invested, or (2) from the interest earned in your Fixed Interest Allocations. Systematic
    withdrawals may be taken monthly, quarterly or annually. If you have contract value allocated to one or more
    Restricted Funds, and you elect to receive systematic withdrawals from the subaccounts in which you are invested,
    the systematic withdrawals must be taken pro-rata from all subaccounts in which contract value is invested. If you
    do not have contract value allocated to a Restricted Fund and choose systematic withdrawals on a non pro-rata basis,
    we will monitor the withdrawals annually. If you subsequently allocate contract value to one or more Restricted
    Funds, we will require you to take your systematic withdrawals on a pro-rata basis from all subaccounts in which
    contract value is invested. There is no additional charge for this feature.

    You decide when you would like systematic payments to start as long as it starts at least 28 days after your contract
    date. You also select the date on which the systematic withdrawals will be made, but this date cannot be later than
    the 28th day of the month. If you have elected to receive systematic withdrawals but have not chosen a date, we will
    make the withdrawals on the same calendar day of each month as your contract date. If your contract date is on or
    after the 28th day of the month, then your systematic withdrawal will be made on the 28th day of each month.

    Each systematic withdrawal amount must be a minimum of $100. The amount of your systematic withdrawal can
    either be (1) a fixed dollar amount, or (2) an amount based on a percentage of the contract value. Both forms of
    systematic withdrawals are subject to the following maximum, which is calculated on each withdrawal date:

        Maximum Percentage 


    Frequency    of Contract Value 


    Monthly    0.83% 
    Quarterly    2.50% 
    Annually    10.00% 



    If your systematic withdrawal is a fixed dollar amount and the amount to be withdrawn would exceed the applicable
    maximum percentage of your contract value on any withdrawal date, we will automatically reduce the amount
    withdrawn so that it equals such percentage. Thus, your fixed dollar systematic withdrawals will never exceed the
    maximum percentage. If you want fixed dollar systematic withdrawals to exceed the maximum percentage and are
    willing to incur associated surrender charges, consider the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature which you
    may add to your regular systematic withdrawal program.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    56


    If your systematic withdrawal is based on a percentage of contract value and the amount to be withdrawn based on
    that percentage would be less than $100, we will automatically increase the amount to $100 as long as it does not
    exceed the maximum percentage. If the systematic withdrawal would exceed the maximum percentage, we will
    send the amount, and then automatically cancel your systematic withdrawal option.

    Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations are limited to interest earnings during the prior month,
    quarter, or year, depending on the frequency you chose. A Fixed Interest Allocation may not participate in both the
    systematic withdrawal option and the dollar cost averaging program at the same time.

    You may change the amount or percentage of your systematic withdrawal once each contract year or cancel this
    option at any time by sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7 days before the next
    scheduled withdrawal date. If you submit a subsequent premium payment after you have applied for systematic
    withdrawals, we will not adjust future withdrawals under the systematic withdrawal program unless you specifically
    request that we do so.

    The systematic withdrawal option may commence in a contract year where a regular withdrawal has been taken but
    you may not change the amount or percentage of your withdrawals in any contract year during which you have
    previously taken a regular withdrawal. You may not elect the systematic withdrawal option if you are taking IRA
    withdrawals.

    Subject to availability, a spousal or non-spousal beneficiary may elect to receive death benefits as payments over the
    beneficiary’s lifetime (“stretch”). “Stretch” payments will be subject to the same limitations as systematic
    withdrawals, and non-qualified “stretch” payments will be reported on the same basis as other systematic
    withdrawals.

    Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature. You may add the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature to
    your regular fixed dollar systematic withdrawal program. This feature allows you to receive a systematic
    withdrawal in a fixed dollar amount in addition to your systematic withdrawal program regardless of any surrender
    charges. Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal
    Feature are available only in connection with Section 72(q) or 72(t) distributions. You choose the amount of the
    fixed systematic withdrawals, which may total up to an annual maximum of 10% of your contract value as
    determined on the day we receive your election of this feature. The maximum limit will not be recalculated when
    you make additional premium payments, unless you instruct us to do so. We will assess a surrender charge on the
    withdrawal date if the withdrawal exceeds the maximum limit as calculated on the withdrawal date. We will apply
    the surrender charge directly to your contract value (rather than to the systematic withdrawal) so that the amount of
    each systematic withdrawal remains fixed.

    Fixed dollar systematic withdrawals which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 72(q) or 72(t) of the
    Tax Code may exceed the maximum. Such withdrawals are subject to surrender charges when they exceed the
    applicable maximum percentage.

    IRA Withdrawals
    If you have a non-Roth IRA Contract and will be at least age 70½ during the current calendar year, you may elect to
    have distributions made to you to satisfy requirements imposed by federal tax law. IRA withdrawals provide payout
    of amounts required to be distributed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rules governing mandatory
    distributions under qualified plans. We will send you a notice before your distributions commence. You may elect
    to take IRA withdrawals at that time, or at a later date. You may not elect IRA withdrawals and participate in
    systematic withdrawals at the same time. If you do not elect to take IRA withdrawals, and distributions are required
    by federal tax law, distributions adequate to satisfy the requirements imposed by federal tax law may be made.
    Thus, if you are participating in systematic withdrawals, distributions under that option must be adequate to satisfy
    the mandatory distribution rules imposed by federal tax law.

    You may choose to receive IRA withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Under this option, you may
    elect payments to start as early as 28 days after the contract date. You select the day of the month when the
    withdrawals will be made, but it cannot be later than the 28th day of the month. If no date is selected, we will make

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    57


    the withdrawals on the same calendar day of the month as the contract date. If your contract date is after the 28th
    day of the month, your IRA withdrawal will be made on the first day of each month.

    You may request that we calculate for you the amount that is required to be withdrawn from your Contract each year
    based on the information you give us and various choices you make. For information regarding the calculation and
    choices you have to make, see the SAI. Or, we will accept your written instructions regarding the calculated amount
    required to be withdrawn from your Contract each year. The minimum dollar amount you can withdraw is $100.
    When we determine the required IRA withdrawal amount for a taxable year based on the frequency you select, if
    that amount is less than $100, we will pay $100. At any time where the IRA withdrawal amount is greater than the
    contract value, we will cancel the Contract and send you the amount of the cash surrender value.

    You may change the payment frequency of your IRA withdrawals once each contract year or cancel this option at
    any time by sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7 days before the next scheduled
    withdrawal date.

    Consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with taking withdrawals. You are
    responsible for determining that withdrawals comply with applicable law. A withdrawal made before the taxpayer
    reaches age 59½ may result in a 10% penalty tax. See “Federal Tax Considerations” for more details.

    TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS (EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY)

    You may transfer your contract value among the subaccounts in which you are invested and your Fixed Interest
    Allocations at the end of the free look period until the income phase payment start date. Please note that if you elect
    one of the living benefit riders, you may not allocate contract value to the Fixed Interest Allocations. Transfers to a
    GET Fund series may only be made during the offering period for that GET Fund series. We currently do not
    charge you for transfers made during a contract year, but reserve the right to charge $25 for each transfer after the
    twelfth transfer in a contract year. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you may make and
    may otherwise modify or terminate transfer privileges if required by our business judgment or in accordance
    with applicable law.

    If you allocate contract value to an investment option that has been designated as a Restricted Fund, your ability to
    transfer contract value to the Restricted Fund may be limited. A transfer to the Restricted Funds will not be
    permitted to the extent that it would increase the contract value in the Restricted Fund to more than the applicable
    limits following the transfer. We do not limit transfers from Restricted Funds. If the result of multiple reallocations
    is to lower the percentage of total contract value in the Restricted Fund, the reallocation will be permitted even if the
    percentage of contract value in the Restricted Fund is greater than the limit.

    Transfers will be based on values at the end of the business day in which the transfer request is received at our
    Customer Service Center.

    The minimum amount that you may transfer is $100 or, if less, your entire contract value held in a subaccount or a
    Fixed Interest Allocation.

    To make a transfer, you must notify our Customer Service Center and all other administrative requirements must be
    met. Any transfer request received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or the close of regular trading on the New York
    Stock Exchange will be effected on the next business day. Separate Account NY-B and the Company will not be
    liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or other approved electronic means that we reasonably
    believe to be genuine. We may require personal identifying information to process a request for transfer made over
    the telephone, over the internet or other approved electronic means. Please be advised that the risk of a fraudulent
    transaction is increased with telephonic or electronic instructions, even if appropriate identifying information is
    provided.

    Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers.

    The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt
    management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

    • Increased trading and transaction costs;
    • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
    • Lost opportunity costs; and
    • Large asset swings that decrease the fund's ability to provide maximum investment return to all contract owners.

    This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use
    market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the Contract.

    Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the ING family of companies that provide multi-fund
    variable insurance and retirement products, have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the
    demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund
    trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

    We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify
    violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and
    reallocation activity:

    • Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
    • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.

    We currently define Excessive Trading as:

    • 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 our definition of Excessive Trading; or
    • Six round-trips involving the same fund within a twelve month period.

    The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

    • Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, withdrawals and loans);
    • Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;
    • Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
    • 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
    • Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of insurance companies or a fund.

    If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip
    involving the same fund, we will send them a letter (once per year) 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
    we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an
    individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will
    send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    59


    purchase in the first round-trip in the prior twelve month period will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result
    in a 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 or entity. A copy of the
    warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares
    were involved in the trading activity.

    If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter
    stating that their 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 activity that
    violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via
    regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product
    through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. 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 or entity’s trading activity 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 or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the
    activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.

    Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy
    are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer
    and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite
    suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month
    suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

    We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or
    without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is
    disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance products, regardless of whether the
    individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

    Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated
    under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic
    Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

    We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading
    Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other
    factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of contract owners and fund investors and/or state or
    federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract owners or, as
    applicable, to all contract owners investing in the underlying fund.

    Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading
    activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted
    above.

    Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement
    products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of insurance companies, either by prospectus or
    stated contract, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of
    fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice,
    to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as
    violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the
    corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations
    (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future
    purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from
    the fund.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we
    have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through
    the contract. Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund
    companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these
    agreements, the company is required to share information regarding contract owner transactions, including but not
    limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner
    transactions, this information may include personal contract owner information, including names and social security
    numbers or other tax identification numbers.

    As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract owner’s transactions if
    the fund determines that the contract owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could
    include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or contract value to the fund or all funds within the
    fund family.

    Dollar Cost Averaging
    You may elect to participate in our dollar cost averaging program if you have at least $1,200 of contract value in the
    (i) ING Liquid Assets Portfolio, or (ii) a Fixed Interest Allocation with either a 6-month or a 1-year guaranteed
    interest period. These subaccounts or Fixed Interest Allocations serve as the source accounts from which we will,
    on a monthly basis, automatically transfer a set dollar amount of money to other subaccounts selected by you. We
    also may offer DCA Fixed Interest Allocations, which are 6-month and 1-year Fixed Interest Allocations available
    exclusively for use with the dollar cost averaging program. The DCA Fixed Interest Allocations require a minimum
    premium payment of $1,200 directed into a DCA Fixed Interest Allocation. Transfers made pursuant to a dollar cost
    averaging program do not count toward the 12-transfer limit on free transfers. There is no additional charge for this
    feature.

    The dollar cost averaging program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuation on your investment. Since
    we transfer the same dollar amount to other subaccounts each month, more units of a subaccount are purchased if
    the value of its unit is low and fewer units are purchased if the value of its unit is high. Therefore, a lower than
    average value per unit may be achieved over the long term. However, we cannot guarantee this. When you elect the
    dollar cost averaging program, you are continuously investing in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels.
    You should consider your tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.

    Unless you have a DCA Fixed Interest Allocation, you elect the dollar amount you want transferred under this
    program. Each monthly transfer must be at least $100. If your source account is the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio or
    a 1-year Fixed Interest Allocation, the maximum amount that can be transferred each month is your contract value in
    such source account divided by 12. If your source account is a 6-month Fixed Interest Allocation, the maximum
    amount that can be transferred each month is your contract value in such source account divided by 6. You may
    change the transfer amount once each contract year. If you have a DCA Fixed Interest Allocation, there is no
    minimum or maximum transfer amount; we will transfer all your money allocated to that source account into the
    subaccount(s) in equal payments over the selected 6-month or 1-year period. The last payment will include earnings
    accrued over the course of the selected period. If you make an additional premium payment into a Fixed Interest
    Allocation subject to dollar cost averaging, the amount of your transfers under the dollar cost averaging program
    remains the same, unless you instruct us to increase the transfer amount.

    If you do not specify the subaccounts to which the dollar amount of the source account is to be transferred, we will
    transfer the money to the subaccounts in which you are invested on a proportional basis, subject to any fund
    purchase restrictions. The transfer date is the same day each month as your contract date. If, on any transfer date,
    your contract value in a source account is equal to or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the
    entire amount will be transferred and the program will end. You may terminate the dollar cost averaging program at
    any time by sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center at least 7 days before the next transfer date.
    A Fixed Interest Allocation or DCA Fixed Interest Allocation may not participate in the dollar cost averaging
    program and in systematic withdrawals at the same time.

    You are permitted to transfer contract value to a Restricted Fund, subject to the limitations described above in this
    section and in “Trust and Funds – Restricted Funds.” Compliance with the individual and aggregate Restricted Fund
    limits will be reviewed when the dollar cost averaging program is established. Transfers under the dollar cost

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    61


    averaging program must be within those limits. We will not review again your dollar cost averaging election for
    compliance with the individual and aggregate limits for investment in the Restricted Funds except in the case of the
    transactions described below.

    • Amount added to source account: If you add amounts to the source account which would increase the amount to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program, we will review the amounts to be transferred to ensure that the individual and aggregate limits are not being exceeded. If such limits would be exceeded, we will require that the dollar cost averaging transfer amounts be changed to ensure that the transfers are within the limits based on the then current allocation of contract value to the Restricted Fund(s) and the then current value of the amount designated to be transferred to that Restricted Fund(s).
    • Additional premium paid: Up to the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit may be allocated to a Restricted Fund. If more than the individual limit has been requested to be allocated to a Restricted Fund, we will look at the aggregate limit, subtract the current allocation to Restricted Funds, and subtract the current value of amounts to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program to Restricted Funds.
      The excess, if any, is the maximum that may be allocated pro-rata to Restricted Funds.
    • Reallocation request is made while the dollar cost averaging program is active: If the reallocation would increase the amount allocated to Restricted Funds, the maximum that may be so allocated is the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit, less the current allocation to Restricted Funds and less the current value of any remaining amounts to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program to the Restricted Funds.

    The GET Fund may not be included in a dollar cost averaging program. We may in the future offer additional
    subaccounts or withdraw any subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation to or from the dollar cost averaging program,
    stop offering DCA Fixed Interest Allocations or otherwise modify, suspend or terminate this program. Of course,
    such change will not affect any dollar cost averaging programs in operation at the time. Transfers made pursuant to
    a dollar cost averaging program do not count toward the 12-transfer limit on free transfers.

    Automatic Rebalancing
    If you have at least $10,000 of contract value invested in the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B, you may elect
    to have your investments in the subaccounts automatically rebalanced. You are permitted to reallocate between
    Restricted and non-Restricted Funds, subject to the limitations described above in this section and in “Trust and
    Funds – Restricted Funds.” If the reallocation would increase the amount allocated to the Restricted Funds, the
    maximum that may be so allocated is the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit, less the current allocation to
    all Restricted Funds. Automatic rebalancing is subject to any fund purchase restrictions; however, transfers made
    pursuant to automatic rebalancing do not count toward the 12-transfer limit on free transfers. Amounts allocated to
    the GET Fund will not be affected by automatic rebalancing. There is no additional charge for this feature.

    We will transfer funds under your Contract on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual calendar basis among the
    subaccounts to maintain the investment blend of your selected subaccounts. The minimum size of any allocation
    must be in full percentage points. Rebalancing does not affect any amounts that you have allocated to the Fixed
    Interest Division. The program may be used in conjunction with the systematic withdrawal option only if
    withdrawals are taken pro-rata. Automatic rebalancing is not available if you participate in dollar cost averaging.
    Automatic rebalancing will not take place during the free look period.

    To participate in automatic rebalancing, send satisfactory notice to our Customer Service Center. We will begin the
    program on the last business day of the period in which we receive the notice. You may cancel the program at any
    time. The program will automatically terminate if you choose to reallocate your contract value among the
    subaccounts or if you make an additional premium payment or partial withdrawal on other than a pro-rata basis.
    Additional premium payments and partial withdrawals effected on a pro-rata basis will not cause the automatic
    rebalancing program to terminate.

      DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES

    Death Benefit During the Accumulation Phase
    During the accumulation phase, a death benefit is payable when either the contract owner or the first of joint owners
    (under Option Package I only) or the annuitant (when a contract owner is not an individual) dies. Assuming you are
    the contract owner, your beneficiary will receive a death benefit unless the beneficiary is your surviving spouse and
    elects to continue the Contract. The death benefit paid depends on the option package you have chosen. The death
    benefit value is calculated as of the claim date (the close of the business day on which we receive written notice and
    due proof of death, as well as any required paperwork, at our Customer Service Center). If your beneficiary elects to
    delay receipt of the death benefit until a date after the time of death, the amount of the benefit payable in the future
    may be affected. The proceeds may be received in a single sum, applied to any of the income phase payment
    options or, if available, paid over the beneficiary’s life expectancy. (See “Systematic Withdrawals” above.) A
    beneficiary’s right to elect an income phase payment option or receive a lump sum payment may have been
    restricted by a contract owner. If so, such rights or options will not be available to the beneficiary.

    If we do not receive a request to apply the death benefit proceeds to an income phase payment option, we will make
    a single sum distribution. Unless you elect otherwise, the distribution will be made into an interest bearing account,
    backed by our general account, that is accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. The beneficiary
    may access death benefit proceeds at any time without penalty. Interest earned on this account may be less than
    interest paid on other settlement options. We will generally pay death benefit proceeds within 7 days after our
    Customer Service Center has received sufficient information to make the payment. For information on required
    distributions under federal income tax laws, you should see “Federal Tax Considerations Required Distributions
    upon Death.”

    You may select one of the option packages described below which will determine the death benefit payable. Option
    Packages II and III are not available where the Contract is held by joint owners. A change in ownership of the
    Contract may affect the amount of the death benefit payable.

    The death benefit may be subject to certain mandatory distribution rules required by federal tax law.

    The death benefit depends upon the option package in effect on the date the contract owner dies.

    The differences are summarized as follows:

        Option Package I    Option Package II    Option Package III 




    Death Benefit    The greatest of:    The greatest of:    The greatest of: 
    on Death of the    (1)    the Standard Death    (1)    the Standard Death    (1)    the Standard Death 
    Owner:        Benefit*;        Benefit*;        Benefit*; 
        (2)    the contract value*; or    (2)    the contract value*;    (2)    the contract value*;

                    death benefit*.        death benefit*. 








      * less any premium credits added after or within 12 months prior to death.

      Return of premium equals premiums paid, excluding any premium credits, reduced pro-rata for withdrawals.

    The Standard Death Benefit equals total premium payments plus premium credits reduced pro-rata for
    withdrawals.

    The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit equals the maximum contract value on each contract anniversary
    occurring on or prior to attainment of age 90, adjusted for new premiums and premium credits and reduced pro-rata
    for withdrawals. On the contract date, the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit equals the initial premium plus
    any premium credit.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    63


    The pro-rata withdrawal adjustment to the guaranteed death benefit amount under Option Package I, II or III is equal
    to (1) divided by (2), with the result multiplied by (3) where:

    (1)      is the Contract Value withdrawn;
     
    (2)      is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and
     
    (3)      is the amount of the applicable death benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
     

    The reduction in the guaranteed death benefit may be greater than the amount withdrawn. Any premium credit
    added after or within 12 months prior to the date of death is forfeited, and is not included in the Contract Value for
    purposes of calculating the Standard Death Benefit or the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit.

    Transfers Between Option Packages. You may transfer from one option package to another on each contract
    anniversary. A written request for such transfer must be received at our Customer Service Center within 60 days
    prior to the contract anniversary. No transfers between option packages are permitted: 1) after you attain age 80; or
    2) if the Contract is owned by joint owners. A change of owner may cause an option package transfer on other than a
    contract anniversary. If you transfer from Option I to Option II or III, the Annual Ratchet Death Benefit will equal
    the contract value on the effective date of the transfer.

    Death Benefit During the Income Phase
    If any contract owner or the annuitant dies during the income phase, we will pay the beneficiary any certain benefit
    remaining under the income phase payment option in effect at the time.

    Continuation after Death — Spouse
    If at the contract owner’s death, the surviving spouse of the deceased contract owner is the beneficiary and such
    surviving spouse elects to continue the contract as his or her own the following will apply:

    If the guaranteed death benefit as of the date we receive due proof of death, minus the contract value also on that
    date, is greater than zero, we will add such difference to the contract value. We will allocate such addition to the
    variable subaccounts in proportion to the contract value in the subaccounts, unless you direct otherwise. If there is
    no contract value in any subaccount, the addition will be allocated to the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio, or its
    successor. Such addition to contract value will not affect the guaranteed death benefit. If the guaranteed death
    benefit is less than or equal to the contract value, the contract value will not change.

    The death benefits under each of the available options will continue based on the surviving spouse’s age on the date
    that ownership changes. If death occurs during the first contract year, the premium credit will not be forfeited upon
    spousal continuation, and the premium credit option charge will continue for the remainder of the seven-year period.
    The premium credit will be subject to recapture upon surrender of the Contract or partial withdrawal, in accordance
    with the premium credit forfeiture schedule. Subsequent premium payments made by the continuing spouse during
    the first contract year will be subject to the premium credit option charge and the premium credit forfeiture schedule.
    See “The Annuity Contract Additional Credit to Premium.”

    If death occurs after the first contract year, the premium credit will not be forfeited upon spousal continuation, and
    the premium credit option charge will continue for the remainder of the seven year period. The premium credit will
    not be subject to forfeiture upon surrender of the Contract or partial withdrawals.

    At subsequent surrender, any surrender charge applicable to premiums paid prior to the date we receive due proof of
    death of the contract owner will be waived. Any premiums paid later will be subject to any applicable surrender
    charge.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    64


    Any addition to contract value, as described above, is available only to the spouse of the owner as of the date of
    death of the owner if such spouse under the provisions of the contract elects to continue the contract as his or her
    own.

    Continuation after Death — Non Spouse
    If the beneficiary or surviving joint owner is not the spouse of the owner, the contract may continue in force subject
    to the required distribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Tax Code”) apply. See next section, “Required
    Distributions upon Contract Owner’s Death.”

    If the guaranteed death benefit as of the date we receive due proof of death, minus the contract value also on that
    date, is greater than zero, we will add such difference to the contract value. We will allocate such addition to the
    variable subaccounts in proportion to the contract value in the subaccounts, unless you direct otherwise. If there is
    no contract value in any subaccount, the addition will be allocated to the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio, or its
    successor. Such addition to contract value will not affect the guaranteed death benefit. If the guaranteed death
    benefit is less than or equal to the contract value, the contract value will not change.

    If death occurs within 12 months of a premium credit being applied, the premium credit will be forfeited and not
    included in the calculation of either the contract value, the Standard Death Benefit or the Annual Ratchet Enhanced
    Death Benefit.

    The death benefit terminates upon continuation. At subsequent surrender, any surrender charge applicable to
    premium payments paid prior to the date we receive due proof of death of the contract owner will be waived. No
    additional premium payments may be made.

    Required Distributions Upon Contract Owner’s Death
    We will not allow any payment of benefits provided under a non-qualified Contract which do not satisfy the
    requirements of Section 72(s) of the Tax Code.

    If any owner of a non-qualified contract dies before the income phase payment start date, the death benefit payable
    to the beneficiary calculated as described under “Death Benefit Choices” in this prospectus, will be distributed as
    follows: (a) the death benefit must be completely distributed within 5 years of the contract owner’s date of death; or
    (b) the beneficiary may elect, within the 1-year period after the contract owner’s date of death, to receive the death
    benefit in the form of an annuity from us, provided that (i) such annuity is distributed in substantially equal
    installments over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such
    beneficiary; and (ii) such distributions begin not later than 1 year after the contract owner’s date of death.

    Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, if the sole contract owner’s sole beneficiary is the deceased owner’s surviving
    spouse, then such spouse may elect to continue the Contract under the same terms as before the contract owner’s
    death. Upon receipt of such election from the spouse at our Customer Service Center: (1) all rights of the spouse as
    contract owner’s beneficiary under the Contract in effect prior to such election will cease; (2) the spouse will
    become the owner of the Contract and will also be treated as the contingent annuitant, if none has been named and
    only if the deceased owner was the annuitant; and (3) all rights and privileges granted by the Contract or allowed by
    ReliaStar of NY will belong to the spouse as contract owner of the Contract. This election will be deemed to have
    been made by the spouse if such spouse makes a premium payment to the Contract or fails to make a timely election
    as described in this paragraph. If the owner’s beneficiary is a nonspouse, the distribution provisions described in
    subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, will apply even if the annuitant and/or contingent annuitant are alive at the time of
    the contract owner’s death.

    Subject to availability, and our then current rules, a spousal or non-spousal beneficiary may elect to receive death
    benefits as payments over the life expectancy of the beneficiary (“stretch”). “Stretch” payments will be subject to
    the same limitations as systematic withdrawals, and non-qualified “stretch” payments will be reported on the same
    basis as other systematic withdrawals.

    If we do not receive an election from a non-spouse owner’s beneficiary within the 1-year period after the contract
    owner’s date of death, then we will pay the death benefit to the owner’s beneficiary in a cash payment within five
    years from the date of death. We will determine the death benefit as of the date we receive proof of death. We will

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    65


    make payment of the proceeds on or before the end of the 5-year period starting on the owner’s date of death. Such
    cash payment will be in full settlement of all our liability under the Contract.

    The death benefits under any of the Options will terminate. At subsequent surrender, any surrender charge
    applicable to premiums paid prior to the date we receive due proof of death of the contract owner will be waived.
    Premiums are not permitted after such date.

    If a contract owner dies after the income phase payment start date, we will continue to distribute any benefit payable
    at least as rapidly as under the annuity option then in effect. All of the contract owner’s rights granted under the
    Contract or allowed by us will pass to the contract owner’s beneficiary.

    If a Contract has joint owners we will consider the date of death of the first joint owner as the death of the contract
    owner and the surviving joint owner will become the beneficiary of the Contract. If any contract owner is not an
    individual, the death of an annuitant shall be treated as the death of the owner.

    LifePay Plus rider.








      THE INCOME PHASE

    During the income phase, you stop contributing dollars to your contract and start receiving payments from your
    accumulated contract value.

    Initiating Payments. At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start receiving payments, you must notify us in
    writing of all of the following:

    • Payment start date;
    • Income phase payment option (see the income phase payment options table in this section);
    • Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);
    • Choice of fixed, and, if available at the time an income phase payment option is selected, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments; and
    • Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable payments are elected).

    Your Contract will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly start income phase payments. Once an
    income phase payment option is selected, it may not be changed. Our current annuity options provide only for fixed
    payments.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    66


    What Affects Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect the amount of your income phase payments
    include: your age; gender; contract value; the income phase payment option selected; the number of guaranteed
    payments (if any) selected; whether you select fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments;
    and, for variable payments, the assumed net investment rate selected. Variable payments are not currently available.

    Fixed Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held in the Company’s general account.
    The amount of fixed payments does not vary with investment performance over time.

    Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments will be held in the subaccount(s) you
    select. Not all subaccounts available during the accumulation phase may be available during the income phase.
    Payment amounts will vary depending upon the performance of the subaccounts you select. For variable income
    phase payments, you must select an assumed net investment rate. Variable payments are not currently available.

    Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase payments, you must also select an assumed
    net investment rate of either 5% or 3½%. If you select a 5% rate, your first income phase payment will be higher,
    but subsequent payments will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected is greater
    than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than
    5%, after deduction of fees.

    If you select a 3½% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and subsequent payments will increase
    more rapidly or decline more slowly depending upon changes to the net investment rate of the subaccounts you
    selected. For more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, call us for a copy of the SAI.

    Minimum Payment Amounts. The income phase payment option you select must result in:

    • A first income phase payment of at least $50; and
    • Total yearly income phase payments of at least $250.

    If your contract value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, you will receive one lump-sum payment.
    Unless prohibited by law, we reserve the right to increase the minimum payment amount based on increases
    reflected in the Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U) since July 1, 1993.

    Betterment of Rates. If the payments under the Income Phase Payment Option that you elect would be lower than
    the payments that would be provided using the same value (greater of cash surrender value or 95% of contract value)
    under a single premium immediate annuity then offered by us, you will receive the larger payments under your
    payment option.

    Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments. Income phase payments may not begin during the
    first contract year, or, unless we consent, later than the later of:

    • The first day of the month following the annuitant’s 90th birthday; or
    • The tenth anniversary of the last premium payment made to your Contract.

    Income phase payments will not begin until you have selected an income phase payment option. If there are
    surrender charges remaining on the income phase payment start date, your income phase payment option must be
    either a life annuity or have a period certain of at least 10 years. Failure to select an income phase payment option
    by the later of the annuitant’s 85th birthday or the tenth anniversary of your last premium payment may have adverse
    tax consequences. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser if you are considering delaying the selection of
    an income phase payment option before the later of these dates.

    For qualified contracts only, income phase payments may not extend beyond:

    1)      The life of the annuitant;
     
    2)      The joint lives of the annuitant and beneficiary;
     

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    67


    3)      A guaranteed period greater than the annuitant’s life expectancy; or
     
    4)      A guaranteed period greater than the joint life expectancies of the annuitant and beneficiary.
     

    When income phase payments start, the age of the annuitant plus the number of years for which payments are
    guaranteed may not exceed 100.

    If income phase payments start when the annuitant is at an advanced age, such as over 85, it is possible that the
    Contract will not be considered an annuity for federal tax purposes.

    See “Federal Tax Considerations” for further discussion of rules relating to income phase payments.

    Charges Deducted

    • If you elect a life income payment option, we make a daily deduction for mortality and expense risks equal to 1.25% of amounts invested in the subaccounts. If variable income phase payments are selected, we make a daily deduction for expense risks from amounts held in the subaccounts. Therefore, if you choose variable income phase payments and a nonlifetime income phase payment option, we still make a deduction from the subaccounts you select, even though we no longer assume mortality risks. The amount of this charge, on an annual basis, is equal to 1.25% of amounts invested in the subaccounts. See “Fees and Expenses.”
    • An administrative expense charge of 0.15% applies during the income phase. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The charge applies during the entire income phase. See “Fees and Expenses.”
    • If the premium credit option was elected, the premium credit option charge of 0.50% continues during the income phase for the remainder of the seven year period from the addition of the premium credit. We deduct this charge daily from your contract value in both the subaccounts and the Fixed Interest Division.
      See “Fees and Expenses.”

    Death Benefit during the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available to a beneficiary are outlined in
    the income phase payment options table below. If a lump-sum payment is due as a death benefit, we will make
    payment within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and the request for the payment
    in good order at our Customer Service Center. Unless you elect otherwise, the distribution will be made into an
    interest bearing account, backed by our general account, that is accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook
    feature. The beneficiary may access death benefit proceeds at any time without penalty. If continuing income phase
    payments are elected, the beneficiary may not elect to receive a lump sum at a future date unless the income phase
    payment option specifically allows a withdrawal right. We will calculate the value of any death benefit at the next
    valuation after we receive proof of death and a request for payment. Such value will be reduced by any payments
    made after the date of death.

    Beneficiary Rights. A beneficiary’s right to elect an income phase payment option or receive a lump-sum payment
    may have been restricted by the contract owner. If so, such rights or options will not be available to the beneficiary.

    Partial Entry into the Income Phase. You may elect an income phase payment option for a portion of your
    contract value, while leaving the remaining portion invested in the accumulation phase. Whether the Tax Code
    considers such payments taxable as income phase payments or as withdrawals is currently unclear; therefore, you
    should consult with a qualified tax adviser before electing this option. The same or different income phase payment
    option may be selected for the portion left invested in the accumulation phase.

    Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you or your beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the
    Tax Code. Additionally, when selecting an income phase payment option, the Tax Code requires that your expected
    payments will not exceed certain durations. See “Federal Tax Considerations.”

      OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

    Reports to Contract Owners
    We will send you a quarterly report within 31 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The report will show the
    contract value, cash surrender value, and the death benefit as of the end of the calendar quarter. The report will also
    show the allocation of your contract value and reflects the amounts deducted from or added to the contract value
    since the last report. You have 30 days to notify our Customer Service Center of any errors or discrepancies
    contained in the report or in any confirmation notices. We will also send you copies of any shareholder reports of
    the investment portfolios in which Separate Account NY-B invests, as well as any other reports, notices or
    documents we are required by law to furnish to you.

    Suspension of Payments
    The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of values, beyond
    the seven permitted days, on any business day (1) when the New York Stock Exchange is closed; (2) when trading
    on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (3) when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that the
    sale of securities held in Separate Account NY-B may not reasonably occur or so that the Company may not
    reasonably determine the value of Separate Account NY-B’s net assets; or (4) during any other period when the SEC
    so permits for the protection of security holders. We have the right to delay payment of amounts from a Fixed
    Interest Allocation for up to 6 months.

    In Case of Errors in Your Application
    If an age or gender given in the application or enrollment form is misstated, the amounts payable or benefits
    provided by the Contract shall be those that the premium payment would have bought at the correct age or sex.

    Assigning the Contract as Collateral
    You may assign a non-qualified Contract as collateral security for a loan but you should understand that your rights
    and any beneficiary’s rights may be subject to the terms of the assignment. An assignment likely has federal tax
    consequences. You must give us satisfactory written notice at our Customer Service Center in order to make or
    release an assignment. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment.

    Contract Changes — Applicable Tax Law
    We have the right to make changes in the Contract to continue to qualify the Contract as an annuity under applicable
    federal tax law. You will be given advance notice of such changes.

    Free Look
    You may cancel your Contract within your 10-day free look period. We deem the free look period to expire 15 days
    after we mail the Contract to you. Your state may require a longer free look period under certain circumstances. To
    cancel, you need to send your Contract to our Customer Service Center or to the agent from whom you purchased it.
    We will refund the contract value. For purposes of the refund during the free look period, we exclude any premium
    credit and include a refund of any charges deducted from your contract value. Because of the market risks
    associated with investing in the portfolios, the contract value returned may be greater or less than the premium
    payment you paid. We may, at our discretion, require that premiums designated for investment in the subaccounts
    as well as premiums designated for a Fixed Interest Allocation be allocated to the specially designated subaccount
    (currently, the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio) during the free look period. Your free look rights depend on the laws of
    the state in which you purchase the Contract. Your Contract is void as of the day we receive your Contract and
    cancellation request. We determine your contract value at the close of business on the day we receive your written
    request. If you keep your Contract after the free look period and the investment is allocated to a subaccount
    specially designated by the Company, we will put your money in the subaccount(s) chosen by you, based on the
    accumulation unit value next computed for each subaccount, and/or in the Fixed Interest Allocation chosen by you.

    Selling the Contract
    Our affiliate, Directed Services LLC, 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380 is the principal underwriter
    and distributor of the Contract as well as for other ING USA contracts. Directed Services LLC, a Delaware limited
    liability company, is registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a
    member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
    (“FINRA ”).

    Directed Services LLC does not retain any commissions or compensation paid to it by ING USA for Contract sales.
    Directed Services LLC enters into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers to sell the
    Contracts through their registered representatives who are licensed to sell securities and variable insurance products
    (“selling firms”). Selling firms are also registered with the SEC and are FINRA member firms.

    The following is a list of broker/dealers that are affiliated with the Company:

    </R>
    ·    Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc.    ·    ING Financial Partners, Inc. 
    ·    Directed Services LLC    ·    ING Funds Distributor, LLC 
    ·    Financial Network Investment Corporation    ·    ING Investment Management Services LLC

    ·    ING Financial Markets LLC    ·    Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc. 

    Directed Services LLC pays selling firms compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered
    representatives of the selling firms who solicit sales of the Contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation
    paid by Directed Services LLC to the selling firm in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on
    the agreement between the selling firm and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other
    incentives or payments, is not paid directly by contract owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup this
    compensation and other sales expenses paid to selling firms through fees and charges imposed under the Contracts.

    Directed Services LLC pays selling firms for Contract sales according to one or more schedules. This compensation
    is generally based on a percentage of premium payments. Selling firms may receive commissions of up to 7.5% of
    premium payments. In addition, selling firms may receive ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.25% of all, or a
    portion, of values of Contracts sold through the firm. Individual representatives may receive all or a portion of
    compensation paid to their selling firm, depending on their firm’s practices. Commissions and annual
    compensation, when combined, could exceed 7.5% of total premium payments.

    Directed Services LLC has special compensation arrangements with certain selling firms based on those firms’
    aggregate or anticipated sales of the Contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not
    be offered to all selling firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms based on various
    factors. Any such compensation payable to a selling firm will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

    In addition to the direct cash compensation for sales of Contracts described above, Directed Services LLC may also
    pay selling firms additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling the Contracts to
    you and other customers. These amounts may include:

    • Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;
    • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or
    <R>

    71


      elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan,which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;
    • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our expense;
    • Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their agents/registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on the sales of this product;
    • Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of policies; and
    • Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.
    <R>

    We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits
    and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges
    imposed under the Contract.

    Directed Services LLC may also compensate wholesalers/distributors, and their sales management personnel, for
    Contract sales within the wholesale/distribution channel. This compensation may be based on a percentage of
    premium payments and/or a percentage of Contract values. Directed Services LLC may, at its discretion, pay
    additional cash compensation to wholesalers/distributors for sales by certain broker-dealers or “focus firms.”

    We do not pay any additional compensation on the sale or exercise of any of the Contract’s optional benefit riders
    offered in this prospectus.

    This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for sale of our variable annuity
    contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume- or sales-based compensation to a selling firm
    or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our contracts
    over those of another company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over
    another.

      OTHER INFORMATION

    Voting Rights
    We will vote the shares of a Trust owned by Separate Account NY-B according to your instructions. However, if
    the 1940 Act or any related regulations should change, or if interpretations of it or related regulations should change,
    and we decide that we are permitted to vote the shares of a Trust in our own right, we may decide to do so.

    We determine the number of shares that you have in a subaccount by dividing the Contract’s contract value in that
    subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the portfolio in which a subaccount invests. We count fractional
    votes. We will determine the number of shares you can instruct us to vote 180 days or less before a Trust
    shareholder meeting. We will ask you for voting instructions by mail at least 10 days before the meeting. If we do
    not receive your instructions in time, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the instructions received from
    all contracts in that subaccount. We will also vote shares we hold in Separate Account NY-B which are not
    attributable to contract owners in the same proportion. The effect of proportional voting is that a small number of
    contract owners may decide the outcome of a vote.

    State Regulation
    We are regulated by the Insurance Department of the State of New York. We are also subject to the insurance laws
    and regulations of all jurisdictions where we do business. The variable Contract offered by this prospectus has been
    approved where required by those jurisdictions. We are required to submit annual statements of our operations,
    including financial statements, to the Insurance Departments of the various jurisdictions in which we do business to
    determine solvency and compliance with state insurance laws and regulations.

    Legal Proceedings
    We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve Separate Account NY-B as a party.

    The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of
    business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes
    include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover,
    certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it
    is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and
    established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a
    materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

    Directed Services LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract, is a party to threatened or pending
    lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of these suits may seek class
    action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and
    other types of relief. Directed Services LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of
    management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

      FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    Introduction
    This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. You should keep
    the following in mind when reading it:

    • Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as applicable) determines federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract;
    • Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past;
    • This section addresses federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes, or any other tax provisions; and

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    73


    • We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the contract.

    We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the effect of federal income taxes or any other
    taxes on amounts held or paid out under the contract, consult a tax adviser. For more comprehensive information,
    contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

    Types of Contracts: Non-Qualified or Qualified
    The Contract may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis (non-qualified contracts) or purchased on a tax-
    qualified basis (qualified contracts).

    Non-qualified contracts are purchased with after tax contributions and are not related to retirement plans that receive
    special income tax treatment under the Tax Code.

    Qualified Contracts are designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of proceeds
    from and/or contributions under retirement plans that are intended to qualify for special income tax treatment under
    Sections 401, 408, or 408A, and some provisions of 403 and 457 of the Tax Code.

    Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

    Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution
    Tax Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that if you are a natural person you
    will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a non-qualified Contract until a distribution occurs or until
    annuity payments begin. This assumes that the Contract will qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax
    purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be
    treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation, the following requirements must be
    satisfied:

    Diversification. Tax Code Section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified contract the investments of the
    funds be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the Contract to qualify as an
    annuity contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the
    diversification requirements prescribed by Tax Code Section 817(h) and by the Treasury in Reg. Sec. 1.817 -5,
    which affects how the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your Contract does not
    satisfy the applicable diversification requirements and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be
    adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate steps to bring your Contract into compliance
    with such regulations and rulings, and we reserve the right to modify your Contract as necessary to do so.

    Investor Control. Although earnings under non-qualified contracts are generally not taxed until
    withdrawn, the IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of
    separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control over the assets. In these
    circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible in the variable
    contract owner’s gross income. Future guidance regarding the extent to which owners could direct their investments
    among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account may adversely
    affect the tax treatment of existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the contract as
    necessary to attempt to prevent the contract holder from being considered the federal tax owner of a pro rata share of
    the assets of the separate account.

    Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the
    Tax Code requires any non-qualified Contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the
    Contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The non-qualified Contracts contain provisions that are
    intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have
    yet been issued. We intend to review such distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they
    comply with the applicable requirements when such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise.

    Non-Natural Holders of a Non-Qualified Contract. If you are not a natural person, a non-qualified
    contract generally is not treated as an annuity for income tax purposes and the income on the contract for the taxable

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    74


    year is currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract is any increase over the year in the excess of
    the contract value over the “investment in the contract” (generally, the premiums or other consideration you paid for
    the contract less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a
    non-natural person should consult with its tax adviser prior to purchasing the Contract. When the contract owner is
    not a natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner.

    Delayed Annuity Starting Date. If the Contract’s annuity starting date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at
    a time when the annuitant has reached an advanced age (e.g., after age 85), it is possible that the Contract would not
    be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the Contract
    could be currently includible in your income.

      Taxation of Distributions

    General. When a withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as
    ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the
    amount of any surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the
    contract at that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract,
    plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments or gifts, less the
    aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made.

    In the case of a surrender under a non-qualified Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the
    extent it exceeds the contract owner’s cost basis in the contract.

    10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a non-qualified Contract may be subject to a federal tax penalty
    equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions:

    • made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;
    • made on or after the death of a contract owner (the annuitant if the contract owner is a non-natural person);
    • attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code;
    • made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually)over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary; or
    • the distribution is allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982.

    The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other
    exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with
    the exceptions enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

    Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment
    or annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in
    the old contract will carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding procedures
    for making Section 1035 exchanges.

    If your Contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract that
    was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax
    purposes, as coming:

    • First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982 and exchanged into the Contract;
    • Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 1982;
    • Then, from any remaining “income on the contract;” and
    • Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract.”

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    75


    The IRS has concluded that in certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for another
    contract will be tax-free. However, the IRS has reserved the right to treat transactions it considers abusive as
    ineligible for favorable partial 1035 tax-free exchange treatment. It is not certain whether the IRS would treat an
    immediate withdrawal or annuitization after a partial exchange as abusive. In addition, it is unclear how the IRS
    will treat a partial exchange from a life insurance, endowment, or annuity contract directly into an immediate
    annuity. Currently, we will accept a partial 1035 exchange from a non-qualified annuity into a deferred annuity or
    an immediate annuity as a tax-free transaction unless we believe that we would be expected to treat the transaction
    as abusive. We are not responsible for the manner in which any other insurance company, for tax reporting
    purposes, or the IRS, with respect to the ultimate tax treatment, recognizes or reports a partial exchange. We
    strongly advise you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange with your tax advisor prior to proceeding with the
    transaction.

    Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option
    elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is
    taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that
    is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected
    stream of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has
    been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary
    income. The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitizations as
    withdrawals rather than as annuity payments. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

    Death Benefits. Amounts may be distributed from a Contract because of your death or the death of the
    annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a
    lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the Contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payment
    option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments. Special rules may apply to amounts distributed after a
    Beneficiary has elected to maintain Contract value and receive payments.

    Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs:

    • After you begin receiving annuity payments under the Contract; or
    • Before you begin receiving such distributions.
    <R>

    If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as
    under the method in effect at the time of your death.

    If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed within
    five years after the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1, 2008, your entire balance must
    be distributed by August 31, 2013. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments
    may be made over one of the following timeframes:

    </R>
    • Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or
    • Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.
    <R>

    If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new
    contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies, the same rules apply on
    the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a contract owner.

    The Contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value.
    Certain charges are imposed with respect to the death benefit. It is possible that these charges (or some portion
    thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the Contract.

    Assignments and Other Transfers. A transfer, pledge or assignment of ownership of a non-qualified
    contract, the selection of certain annuity dates, or the designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may
    result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. The assignment, pledge or agreement to
    assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. Anyone contemplating

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    </R>

    76


    any such transfer, pledge, assignment, or designation or exchange, should consult a tax adviser regarding the
    potential tax effects of such a transaction.

    Immediate Annuities. Under Section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity (1)
    which is purchased with a single premium, (2) with annuity payments starting within one year from the date of
    purchase, and (3) which provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more
    frequently. While this Contract is not designed as an immediate annuity, treatment as an immediate annuity would
    have significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non-
    natural persons, and for certain exchanges.

    Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a
    company or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for
    purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code Section 72(e). In addition, the
    Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code Section
    72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise.

    Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution
    made under a Contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects
    not to have any amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid
    taxpayer identification number or if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on
    file is incorrect. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same
    as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the
    taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect not to have federal income tax withheld,
    you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment.

    If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is governed by Tax Code Section
    1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status.

    Taxation of Qualified Contracts

    General
    The Contracts are primarily designed for use with IRAs under Tax Code Sections 401, 408 or 408A, and
    some provisions of 403 and 457 (We refer to all of these as “qualified plans”).
    The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and
    conditions of the plan itself. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, or on
    annuity payments, depends on the type of retirement plan and your tax status. Special favorable tax treatment may
    be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied
    in purchasing a qualified contract with proceeds from a tax-qualified plan in order to continue receiving favorable
    tax treatment.

    Adverse tax consequences may result from: contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions before age 59½
    (subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum
    distribution rules; and in other specified circumstances. Some qualified plans may be subject to additional
    distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the Contract. No attempt is made to provide more
    than general information about the use of the Contracts with qualified plans. Contract owners, annuitants, and
    beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under these qualified plans may be subject to
    the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. The
    Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms contradict the Contract,
    unless we consent.

    Contract owners and beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and
    other transactions with respect to the contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should seek competent
    legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of a contract for your particular situation. The following discussion
    assumes that qualified contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or
    programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    77


    Tax Deferral
    Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are
    withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as defined in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not
    necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already
    available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as guaranteed living
    benefits and/or death benefits or the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) that may be
    valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the
    additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.

    Section 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), and 403(a) Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 403(a) of the Tax
    Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permits self-
    employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees. These retirement plans may
    permit the purchase of Contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the plans. Employers intending to use the
    Contract with such plans should seek competent legal advice.

    The contracts may also be available as a Roth 401(k), as described in Tax Code Section 402A, and we may set up
    accounts for you under the Contract for Roth 401(k) contributions (“Roth 401(k) accounts”). Tax Code Section
    402A allows employees of certain private employers to contribute after-tax salary contributions to a Roth 401(k),
    which provides for tax-free distributions, subject to certain restrictions.

    Individual Retirement Annuities. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute
    to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA"). IRAs are subject to limits
    on the amounts that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution, the persons who may be eligible,
    and the time when distributions commence. Contributions to IRAs must be made in cash or as a rollover or a
    transfer from another eligible plan. Also, distributions from IRAs, individual retirement accounts, and other types of
    retirement plans may be "rolled over" on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. If you make a tax-free rollover of a
    distribution from an IRA you may not make another tax-free rollover from the IRA within a 1-year period. Sales of
    the contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements of the IRS.

    The IRS has not reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed,
    in a ruling of general applicability, whether the contract's death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification
    requirements.

    Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA.
    Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be
    eligible to contribute, are not deductible, and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth
    IRA or other IRA. Certain qualifying individuals may convert an IRA, SEP, or a SIMPLE to a Roth IRA. Such
    rollovers and conversions are subject to tax, and other special rules may apply. If you make a tax-free rollover of a
    distribution from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, you may not make another tax-free rollover from the Roth IRA
    within a 1-year period. A 10% penalty may apply to amounts attributable to a
    conversion to a Roth IRA if the amounts are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in
    which the conversion was made.

    Sales of a contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not
    reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of
    general applicability, whether the contract's death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements.

    Contributions
    In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions to
    certain qualified plans are limited by the Tax Code. You should consult with your tax adviser in connection with
    contributions to a qualified contract.

    Distributions – General
    Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the Contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a Contract
    including withdrawals, annuity payments, rollovers, exchanges and death benefit proceeds. We report the taxable
    portion of all distributions to the IRS.

    Section 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) Plans. All distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless
    one of the following is true:

    • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
    • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
    • The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

    A payment is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

    • part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10 years or more;
    • a required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
    • a hardship withdrawal;
    • otherwise excludable from income; or
    • not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

    The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Contract used with a
    401(a), 401(k) or 403(a) plan unless certain exceptions, including one or more of the following, have occurred:

    • You have attained age 59½;
    • You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;
    • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
    • You have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age 55;
    • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
    • You have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or the life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary;
    • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
    • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO); or
    • The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (401(k) plans only).

    In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to the amount of a distribution equal to unreimbursed medical
    expenses incurred by you during the taxable year that qualify for deduction as specified in the Tax Code. The Tax
    Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalties in other circumstances.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    Individual Retirement Annuities. All distributions from an IRA are taxed as received unless either one of
    the following is true:

    • The distribution is rolled over to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Tax Code; or
    • You made after-tax contributions to the IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according to rules detailed in the Tax Code.

    The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from an IRA unless certain
    exceptions, including one or more of the following, have occurred:

    • You have attained age 59 1/2;
    • You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;
    • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
    • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
    • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
    • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO); or
    • The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

    In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to a distribution made from an IRA to pay for health insurance
    premiums for certain unemployed individuals, a qualified first-time home purchase, or for higher education
    expenses.

    Roth IRAs. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is not taxed when it is received. A qualified
    distribution is a distribution:

    • Made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA of the owner; and
    • Made after you attain age 59 1/2, die, become disabled as defined in the Tax Code, or for a qualified first-time home purchase.

    If a distribution is not qualified, generally it will be taxable to the extent of the accumulated earnings.
    A partial
    distribution will first be treated as a return of contributions which is not taxable and then as taxable accumulated
    earnings.

    The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a
    qualified distribution unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above
    also apply to a distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution or a rollover to a Roth IRA that is not
    a qualified rollover contribution. The 10% penalty tax is also waived on a distribution made from a Roth IRA to pay
    for health insurance premiums for certain unemployed individuals, used for a qualified first-time home purchase, or
    for higher education expenses.

    Special Hurricane-Related Relief. The Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act and the Gulf Opportunity
    Zone Act provide tax relief to victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. The relief includes a waiver of the
    10% penalty tax on qualified hurricane distributions from eligible retirement plans. In addition,
    the 20% mandatory withholding rules do not apply to these distributions and the tax may be spread out ratably over
    a three-year period. A recipient of qualified hurricane distribution may also elect to re-contribute all or a portion of
    the distribution to an eligible retirement plan within three (3) years of receipt without tax consequences. Other relief
    may also apply. You should consult a competent tax adviser for further information.

    Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a) and IRAs
    ). To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must also meet the minimum
    distribution requirements imposed by the Tax Code.
    These rules may dictate the following:

    • Start date for distributions;
    • The time period in which all amounts in your account(s) must be distributed; and
    • Distribution amounts.

    Start Date and Time Period. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions
    by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70½. We must pay out
    distributions from the contract over a period not extending beyond one of the following time periods:

    · Over your life or the joint lives of you and your designated beneficiary; or

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    81


    • Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary.

    Distribution Amounts. The amount of each required distribution must be calculated in accordance
    with Tax Code Section 401(a)(9). The entire interest in the account includes the amount of any outstanding rollover,
    transfer, recharacterization, if applicable, and the actuarial present value of any other benefits provided under the
    account, such as guaranteed death benefits.

    50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the minimum required distribution for any tax year, a 50%
    excise tax may be imposed on the required amount that was not distributed.

    Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions are not applicable to Roth IRAs. Further information regarding required
    minimum distributions may be found in your contract.

    Required Distributions Upon Death (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a),
    IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). Different distribution requirements apply after your death, depending upon if you
    have been receiving required minimum distributions. Further information regarding required distributions upon
    death may be found in your contract.

    If your death occurs on or after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, distributions
    generally must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death. Tax Code
    Section 401(a)(9) provides specific rules for calculating the required minimum distributions after your death.

    If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, your entire balance must
    be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. For
    example, if you died on September 1, 2006, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary by
    December 31, 2011. However, if distributions begin by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
    year of your death, and you have named a designated beneficiary, then payments may be made over either of the
    following time frames:

    • Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or
    • Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.

    Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, distributions
    must begin on or before the later of the following:

    • December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death; or
    • December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 70½.

    No designated beneficiary. If there is no designated beneficiary, the entire interest generally must be
    distributed by the end of the calendar containing the fifth anniversary of the contract owner’s death.

    Special Rule for IRA Spousal Beneficiaries (IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). In lieu of taking a
    distribution under these rules, if the sole designated beneficiary is the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the spousal
    beneficiary may elect to treat the contract as his or her own IRA and defer taking a distribution until his or her own
    start date. The surviving spouse is deemed to have made such an election if the surviving spouse makes a rollover to
    or from the contract or fails to take a distribution within the required time period.

    Withholding
    Any taxable distributions under the contract are generally subject to withholding. Federal income tax liability
    rates vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient's tax status.

    401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k) and 403(a). Generally, distributions from these plans are subject to
    mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. However, mandatory withholding will not be required if you elect
    a direct rollover of the distributions to an eligible retirement plan or in the case of certain distributions described in
    the Tax Code.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    82


    IRAs and Roth IRAs. Generally, you or, if applicable, a designated beneficiary may elect not to have tax
    withheld from distributions.





    Non-resident Aliens. If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is
    governed by Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual's citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status.

      Assignment and Other Transfers

    IRAS and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under the
    contracts except in limited circumstances. Adverse tax consequences may result if you assign or transfer your
    interest in the contract to persons other than your spouse incident to a divorce. Anyone contemplating such an
    assignment or transfer should contact a qualified tax adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.


    Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Death Benefit

    Living Benefits. Except as otherwise noted below, when a withdrawal from a nonqualified contract occurs
    under the ING LifePay Plus rider or ING Joint
    LifePay Plus rider), the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to
    the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the amount of any deferred sales charge) immediately before
    the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the contract at that time.

    Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract, plus amounts
    previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments, or gifts, less the aggregate
    amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. For nonqualified contracts, the income on the contract for
    purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear. For example, the living benefits
    provided under the ING LifePay Plus rider or ING Joint LifePay Plus rider
    , as well as the market value adjustment, could increase the contract value that
    applies. Thus, the income on the contract could be higher than the amount of income that would be determined
    without regard to such a benefit. As a result, you could have higher amounts of income than will be reported to you.
    In addition, payments under any guaranteed payment phase of such riders after the contract value has been reduced
    to zero may be subject to the exclusion ratio rules under Tax Code Section 72(b) for tax purposes.

    The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitization, such as those
    associated with the minimum guaranteed income benefit as withdrawals rather than annuity payments. Please
    consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

    Enhanced Death Benefits. The Contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium
    payments and the contract value. It is possible that the IRS could characterize such a death benefit as an incidental
    death benefit.
    The provision of such benefits may result in currently taxable income to contract
    owners, and the presence of the death benefit could affect the amount of required minimum distributions. Finally,
    certain charges are imposed with respect to some of the available death benefits. It is possible those charges (or
    some portion thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the Contract.

    ING Empire Traditions – 147957

    83


    Possible Changes in Taxation
    Although the likelihood of legislative change and tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax
    treatment of the Contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change could be
    retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to
    legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.

    Taxation of Company
    We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The Separate Account is not a separate entity from
    us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the Company.

    We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves
    under the contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will
    not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the contracts. In
    addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes
    imposed on the separate account before being used by the Company.

    In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account
    and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their
    interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this case, we
    may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the Contracts) to set aside
    provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your account
    value invested in the subaccounts.

      APPENDIX B

    The Investment Portfolios 

    During the accumulation phase, you may allocate your premium payments and contract value to any of the
    investment portfolios available under this Contract. They are listed in this appendix. You bear the entire investment
    risk for amounts you allocate to any investment portfolio, and you may lose your principal.

    The investment results of the mutual funds (funds) are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any
    of the funds will achieve their respective investment objectives. You should consider the investment objectives, risks
    and charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for this and
    additional information.

    Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in the funds. Shares of the
    funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the Federal
    Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Except as noted, all funds are diversified, as
    defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Fund prospectuses may be obtained free of charge, from our
    Customer Service Center at the address and telephone number listed in the prospectus, by accessing the SEC’s web
    site or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room.

    Certain funds offered under the contracts have investment objectives and policies similar to other funds managed by
    the fund’s investment adviser. The investment results of a fund may be higher or lower than those of other funds
    managed by the same adviser. There is no assurance and no representation is made that the investment results of any
    fund will be comparable to those of another fund managed by the same investment adviser.

    Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” or “LifeStyle Funds.” Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure
    (such as the American Funds) or fund of funds structure (such as the LifeStyle Funds) may have higher fees and
    expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. Consult with your investment professional to
    determine if the investment portfolios may be suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon and risk
    tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change your investment
    strategy.

    Fixed Interest Division 

    <R>

    A Fixed Interest Division option is available through the group and individual deferred variable annuity contracts
    offered by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“ReliaStar of NY”). The Fixed Interest Division is part
    of the ReliaStar of NY General Account. Interests in the Fixed Interest Division have not been registered under the
    Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Interest Division nor the General Account are registered under the
    Investment Company Act of 1940.

    Interests in the Fixed Interest Division are offered in certain states through an Offering Brochure, dated April 28 ,
    2008 . When reading through the Prospectus, the Fixed Interest Division should be counted among the various
    investment options available for the allocation of your premiums. Some restrictions may apply.

    You will find more complete information relating to the Fixed Interest Division in the Offering Brochure. Please
    read the Offering Brochure carefully before you invest in the Fixed Interest Division.

      APPENDIX D

    Surrender Charge for Excess Withdrawals Example 

    The following assumes you made an initial premium payment of $10,000 and additional premium payments of
    $10,000 in each of the second and third contract years, for total premium payments under the Contract of $30,000.
    It also assumes a withdrawal at the end of the third contract year of 30% of the contract value of $35,000 and that
    Option Package I was selected.

    In this example, $3,500 (10% of contract value) is the maximum free withdrawal amount that you may withdraw
    without a surrender charge. The total withdrawal would be $10,500 ($35,000 x .30). Therefore, $7,000 (10,500 –
    3,500) is considered an excess withdrawal of a part of the initial premium payment of $10,000 and would be subject
    to a 6% surrender charge of $420 ($7,000 x .06). The amount of the withdrawal paid to you will be $10,500, and in
    addition, $420 will be deducted from your contract value.

    This example does not take into account deduction of any premium taxes.

    The Accumulation Rates shown under “Contract” are hypothetical and intended to illustrate various market
    conditions. These rates are assumed to be net of all fees and charges. Fees and charges are not assessed against the
    MGIB Rollup Rate.

    How the MGIB Rollup and MGIB Ratchet values are determined:

    The MGIB Rollup Base is equal to the initial contract value (or initial pemium) accumulating at the MGIB Rate (7%
    annual effective) until the MGIB Date. The MGIB Rate for any allocations to the designated Special Funds is 0%.

    The MGIB Ratchet Base is equal to initial contract value (or initial premium) on the rider date. On each contract
    anniversary, the MGIB Ratchet Base is set equal to the greater of: 1) the current contract value; and 2) the MGIB
    Ratchet Base on the prior contract anniversary date.

    E2


    For example, with a contract accumulation rate of 8% (Example 3), the MGIB Rollup Base and the MGIB Ratchet
    Base are determined as follows:

    Age    Contract Value    MGIB Ratchet    MGIB Rollup 
    55    100,000    100,000    100,000 
    56    107,195    107,195    107,000 (=100,000 X (1+7%)) 
    57    114,909    114,909    114,490 (=107,000 X (1+7%)) 
    *    *    *    *

    65    200,449    200,449    196,715 (=183,846 X (1+7%)) 

    If 50,000 of the initial contract value were allocated to Special Funds, assuming a contract accumulation rate of 8%
    (Example 3), the MGIB Rollup Base and the MGIB Ratchet Base are determined as follows:

    Age    Contract Value    MGIB Ratchet    MGIB Rollup 
    55    100,000    100,000    100,000

    APPENDIX F

    ING LifePay Plus and ING Joint LifePay Plus Partial Withdrawal Amount Examples

    The following are examples of adjustments to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for withdrawals in excess
    of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal:

    Illustration 1: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including surrender charges.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $500 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $300 of surrender charges and premium
    credit deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals,
    $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $200 of surrender charges and premium
    credit deduction, if applicable. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, $5,000, then there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $7,000 ($3,000 + $500 + $1,500 + $300 + $1,500 + $200). The
    adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal ($7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross withdrawal ($1,500 + 200 =
    $1,700. Because total gross withdrawals within the contract year prior to this withdrawal ($5,300) had already
    exceeded the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the entire gross withdrawal is considered an excess withdrawal.

    If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by
    3.40% ($1,700 / $50,000) to $4,830 ((1 - 3.40%) * $5,000).

    Illustration 2: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500,
    do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,
    $5,000, there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, because only $4,500 in gross
    withdrawals was taken during the contract year prior to this withdrawal, $500 of the $1,500 gross withdrawal is not
    considered excess.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the
    lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,
    $1,000, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    F1


    If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, and the Contract Value is $49,500 after the part of the gross
    withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500, , then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).

    Illustration 3: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount but does not exceed the
    Additional Withdrawal Amount.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar
    year applicable to this contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the
    excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500,
    do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges and premium credit
    deduction, if applicable. Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000,
    however, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not adjusted until the Additional Withdrawal Amount is exhausted.
    The amount by which total net withdrawals taken exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 -
    $5,000), is the same as the Additional Withdrawal Amount, so no adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
    is made. If total net withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the
    Additional Withdrawal Amount, then an adjustment would be made to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Illustration 4: The Additional Withdrawal Amount at the end of the calendar year before it is withdrawn.

    Assume the most recent contract date was July 1, 2007 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Also
    assume RMDs, applicable to this contract, are $6,000 and $5,000 for 2008 and 2009 calendar years respectively.

    Between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, a withdrawal of $5,000 is taken which exhausts the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal.

    On January 1, 2008, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2008 RMD above the
    existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000. Note that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has
    been exhausted however is still used to calculate the Additional Withdrawal Amount.

    The owner now has until December 31, 2009 to take the newly calculated Additional Withdrawal Amount of
    $1,000. The owner decides not to take the Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000 in 2008.

    On January 1, 2009, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2009 RMD above the
    existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $0 ($5,000 - $5,000). Note that the Additional Withdrawal Amount of
    $1,000 from the 2008 calendar year carries over into the 2009 calendar year and is available for withdrawal.

    Illustration 5: The Reset Occurs.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage is 5%.

    One year after the first withdrawal is taken, the contract value has increased to $120,000, and the Reset occurs. The
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,000 ($120,000 * 5%).

    One year after the Reset, the contract value has increased further to $130,000. The Reset occurs again, and the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,500 ($130,000 * 5%).

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    F2


    If the contract value on the next quarterly contract anniversary has fallen to $100,000, the Reset will not occur and
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal would not be recalculated.

    Illustration 6: The Reset from Guaranteed Withdrawal Status into Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status

    Assume the first withdrawal is taken in the first contract year when the Annuitant is age 56, thus beginning the
    Withdrawal Phase in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. Also assume that at the time of the first withdrawal, the
    LifePay Plus Base is $100,000 before the withdrawal and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000 ($100,000 *
    5%).

    Withdrawals are also taken from the contract in an amount equal to the MAW at the beginning of each of the next
    three contract years, each withdrawal resulting in a dollar for dollar reduction to the LifePay Plus Base.

    After the withdrawal is taken at the beginning of the fourth contract year, the Annuitant is now age 59 ½, the MAW
    is still $5,000, and the LifePay Plus Base has been reduced to $80,000.

    On the quarterly contract anniversary following the date the Annuitant reaches age 59 ½, the rider will enter
    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and the MAW will be recalculated to equal the appropriate MAW% times
    the current MGWB Base, or $4,000 ($80,000 * 5%).

    Illustration 7: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount and the Additional
    Withdrawal Amount.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar
    year applicable to this contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the
    excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Total net
    withdrawals taken, $8,000, exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal
    Amount, $6,000, and there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $8,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $3,500). The adjustment is the
    lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount ($8,000 - $6,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross
    withdrawal ($3,500).

    If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by
    4.00% ($2,000 / $50,000) to $4,800 ((1 - 4.00%) * $5,000).

    Illustration 8: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    F3


    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Because total net
    withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an adjustment to the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, because only $4,500 in gross withdrawals was taken during the contract
    year prior to this withdrawal, $500 of the $1,500 gross withdrawal is not considered excess.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser
    of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000,
    and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.

    If the Contract Value after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, $500, is $49,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to
    $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).

    Another withdrawal is taken during that same contract year in the amount of $400 net, with $100 of surrender
    charges. Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $6,500 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500 + $500). The
    adjustment to the MAW is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,500, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $500.

    If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $48,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced
    by 1.03% ($500 / $48,500) to $4,849 ((1 – 1.03%) * $4,899).

      APPENDIX G

    Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing

    The following examples are designed to assist you in understanding how Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic
    Rebalancing works. The examples assume that there are no investment earnings or losses.

    I.      Subsequent Payments
     
    A.      Assume that on Day 1, an owner deposits an initial payment of $100,000, which is allocated 100% to Accepted
     

    Funds. No Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing would occur, because this allocation meets the required
    investment option allocation.

    B. Assume that on Day 2, the owner deposits an additional payment of $500,000, bringing the total contract value
    to $600,000, and allocates this deposit 100% to Other Funds. Because the percentage allocated to the Fixed
    Allocations Funds (0%) is less than 20% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and the Other
    Funds, we will automatically reallocate $100,000 from the amount allocated to the Other Funds (20% of the
    $500,000 allocated to the Other Funds) to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Your ending allocations will be $100,000 to
    Accepted Funds, $100,000 to the Fixed Allocation Funds, and $400,000 to Other Funds.

    II.      Partial Withdrawals
     
    A.      Assume that on Day 1, an owner deposits an initial payment of $100,000, which is allocated 75% to Accepted
     

    Funds ($75,000), 20% to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($20,000), and 5% to Other Funds ($5,000). No Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing would occur, because this allocation meets the required investment option
    allocation.

    B. Assume that on Day 2, the owner requests a partial withdrawal of $19,000 from the Fixed Allocation Funds.
    Because the remaining amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,000) is less than 20% of the total amount
    allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and the Other Funds, we will automatically reallocate $200 from the Other
    Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds, so that the amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,200) is 20% of
    the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds ($6,000).

      APPENDIX H

    ING LifePay and ING Joint LifePay

    (Available for Contracts issued on and after September 4, 2007 through January 28, 2008.)

    ING LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING LifePay) Rider. The ING LifePay rider
    generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of
    annual withdrawals from the Contract for the life of the annuitant, even if these withdrawals deplete your Contract
    value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your income.



    Purchase. In order to elect the ING LifePay rider, the annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless
    the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint annuitants are not allowed. The minimum issue age is 55 and the maximum
    issue age is 80. The issue age is the age of the owner (or the annuitant if there are joint owners or the owner is non-
    natural) on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker-dealers may not offer the ING
    LifePay rider, or may limit the maximum issue age to ages younger than age 80, but in no event lower than age 55.
    We reserve the right to change the minimum or maximum issue ages on a nondiscriminatory basis. The ING
    LifePay rider is available for Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 that do not already have a living
    benefit rider. The ING LifePay rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment options is not in
    accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. Also, the
    ING LifePay rider will not be issued if any contract value is allocated to a Fixed Interest Division, nor may you
    subsequently allocate contract value to a Fixed Interest Division. The Company in its discretion may allow the rider
    to be elected during the 30-day period preceding a Contract anniversary. Such election must be received in good
    order, including compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The rider will be effective as of that
    Contract anniversary.

    Rider Date. The rider date is the date the ING LifePay rider becomes effective. If you purchase the ING
    LifePay rider when the Contract is issued, the rider date is also the Contract date.

    Charge. The charge for the ING LifePay rider is as follows:

    Current Annual Charge    Maximum Annual Charge if Reset Option 
    (Charge Deducted Quarterly)    Elected 


    0.50% of the contract value    1.20% of the contract value 



      We deduct the quarterly charge in arrears based on the contract date (contract year versus calendar year). In
    arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the contract date. If the rider is
    added after contract issue, the charges will still be deducted on quarterly contract anniversaries, but the first
    charge will be pro-rated based on what is owed at the time the rider is added through the contract quarter end.
    Similarly, the charge is pro-rated based on what is owed at the time the rider is terminated. Charges are
    deducted during the period starting on the rider date and up to your rider’s Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your contract value is reduced to zero and other
    conditions are met. We may increase the charge for this rider if you elect the reset option after your first five
    contract years, but subject to the maximum annual charge. For more information about how this rider works,
    including when Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins, please see “Living Benefit Riders – ING
    LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider.”

    No Cancellation. Once you purchase the ING LifePay rider, you may not cancel it unless you: a) cancel the
    Contract during the Contract’s free look period; b) surrender the Contract; c) begin the income phase and start
    receiving annuity payments; or d) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events
    automatically cancel the ING LifePay rider.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H1


      Termination. The ING LifePay rider is a “living benefit” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are
    intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The
    optional rider automatically terminates if you:

    1)      annuitize or terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving annuity payments under the ING LifePay rider; or
     
    2)      die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract owners, or death of annuitant if Contract owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
     

    The ING LifePay rider will also terminate if there is a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal
    beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the ING LifePay rider to
    terminate automatically are discussed below.

    How the ING LifePay Rider Works. The ING LifePay rider has both phases and statuses. Through the
    lifetime of the ING LifePay rider, you will be in one of two phases: the Growth Phase or the Withdrawal Phase. As
    detailed below, the Growth Phase begins on the effective date of the rider and ends as of the business day before you
    take your first withdrawal, or before you begin to receive annuity payments. The Growth Phase is subject to the
    latest date for annuitization allowed under your Contract. See “The Income Phase – Restrictions on Start Dates and
    the Duration of Payments.” During the Growth Phase, no benefits under the ING LifePay rider are being paid out;
    rather, during the Growth Phase, premiums and investment growth under your Contract continue to accumulate.
    The Withdrawal Phase follows the Growth Phase and begins once you take your first withdrawal or annuity
    payment, whichever occurs first. During the Withdrawal Phase, you may withdraw guaranteed amounts from your
    Contract, subject to the terms and conditions noted in this section.

    During the life of the rider, it will also be treated as in one of two statuses: Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status
    or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Together, these statuses operate to fulfill the rider’s withdrawal
    guarantee. Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date the rider is issued and continues until certain
    circumstances occur as noted in “Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status,” below. Lifetime Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status is a status that only begins if your contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other than
    withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING LifePay
    rider, you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
    If your contract value is depleted because of withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the
    Contract and the ING LifePay rider will terminate without value. While all riders begin in Lifetime Guaranteed
    Withdrawal Status, not all riders will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status.

    Benefits paid under the ING LifePay rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The ING
    LifePay Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:

    1)      If you purchased the ING LifePay rider on the Contract date, the initial ING LifePay Base is equal to the initial premium, plus premium credits.
     
    2)      If you purchased the ING LifePay rider after the Contract date, the initial ING LifePay Base is equal to the Contract value on the effective date of the rider.
     
    3)      The initial ING LifePay Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received during the Growth Phase and premium credits, if applicable (“eligible premiums”). The ING LifePay Base is also increased to equal the Contract value if the Contract value is greater than the current ING LifePay Base, on each Contract quarterly anniversary after the effective date of the rider and during the Growth Phase. The ING LifePay Base has no additional impact on the calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.
     

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H2


    Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of
    determining the ING LifePay Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat such
    premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during the
    Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal if you
    choose to reset the ING LifePay rider (see “ING LifePay Reset Option,” below). We reserve the right to discontinue
    allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the effective date of the rider and continues
    until the earliest of:

    1)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    2)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    3)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    4)      the surrender of the Contract; or
     
    5)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners, or the annuitant, in the case of a custodial IRA), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
     

    The rider’s status changes to Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event contract value is reduced to
    zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including due to poor
    market performance. In Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than the payments as provided under the
    ING LifePay rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). If contract value is
    reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and rider will
    terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the contract value to zero,
    please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below. As described below, certain features of the ING
    LifePay rider may differ depending on whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.

    Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined
    on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals a percentage of the greater of 1) the Contract value and 2)
    the ING LifePay Base as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective date of the
    rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal
    Phase, immediately after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal
    percentage, which varies by age of the annuitant on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:

        Maximum Annual 
    Annuitant Age    Withdrawal Percentage 


    55-64    4% 


    65-75    5% 


    76-80    6% 


    81+    7% 



      Once determined, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract, except as
    provided for under spousal continuation. See “Continuation After Death – Spouse,” below. This is important to
    keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the lower
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.

    If the ING LifePay rider is in the Growth Phase, and the annuity commencement date is reached, the rider will
    enter the Withdrawal Phase and annuity payments will begin. In lieu of the annuity options under the Contract,
    you may elect a life only annuity option under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the
    Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is subject to change depends on the extent of your withdrawals.
    The amount of your withdrawal or withdrawals in a contract year that, when added together, do not exceed the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal do not reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, if the total amount
    of your withdrawals in any Contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal will be reduced in the same proportion as the contract value is reduced by the amount of the
    excess withdrawal.

    For this purpose, an excess withdrawal is the lesser of the amount by which your total withdrawals in a Contract
    year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the amount of your present request for a withdrawal. The
    amount of any applicable premium credit deduction (recapture) or surrender charges are not included in
    determining whether the total amount of your withdrawals in a Contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and triggers a pro-rata reduction. However, in the event that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    to be subject to a pro-rata reduction because of an excess withdrawal, the amount by which the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal will be reduced will include any premium credit deduction and surrender charges. See
    Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.

    Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required
    Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the ING LifePay rider
    and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such withdrawal,
    which exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract year, will not be deemed excess
    withdrawals in that Contract year for purposes of the ING LifePay rider, subject to the following rules:

    1)      If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before January 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
     
    2)      Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count against and reduce the Additional Withdrawal Amount without being deemed an excess withdrawal.
     
    3)      In the event of any withdrawals that exceed both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, the dollar amount of these withdrawals will be deemed excess withdrawals that cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be reduced on a pro-rata basis, as described above.
     
    4)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount does not carry over into the next calendar year.
     
    5)      The ING LifePay rider cannot accommodate any grace periods allowed for Required Minimum Distributions pursuant to the Tax Code.
     
    6)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount does not change in the event you choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. See “ING LifePay Reset Option” below. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is only subject to change when the Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset as described above.
     

    See Illustrations 3 and 4 below.

    Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the
    payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of
    the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase, such
    withdrawals reduce the ING LifePay Base in the same proportion as contract value is reduced by the amount of
    these fees. During the Withdrawal Phase, these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in
    excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate without value due to the
    pro-rata reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above.

    If the Contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING
    LifePay rider, you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal.

    When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      Other than as provided under the ING LifePay rider, the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits);
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount
    that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the annuitant at
    which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the annuitant’s death.

    If when the ING LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date
    are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you the difference
    immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract year following the date
    the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.

    You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic
    withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the contract value will be
    withdrawn from your contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at
    the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals
    under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in
    equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract year will equal the annual Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments
    were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the
    payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract year or Contract year, as applicable.

    ING LifePay Reset Option. Beginning one year after the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may choose to
    reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal when the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as recalculated, would be
    greater than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, based on the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal
    percentage times Contract value. You must elect to reset by a request in a form satisfactory to us. On the date
    the request is received (the “Reset Effective Date”), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will increase to be equal
    to the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage times the Contract value on the Reset Effective
    Date. (For your Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, see “Determination of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal” above.) The reset option is only available when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal
    Status. We reserve the right to limit resets to the contract anniversary.

    After exercising the reset option, you must wait one year before electing to reset again. We will not accept a
    request to reset if the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the date the request is received would be less than
    your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    If the reset option is exercised, the charge for the ING LifePay rider will be equal to the charge then in effect for
    a newly purchased rider but will not exceed the maximum annual charge of 1.20%. However, we guarantee that

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H5


    the rider charge will not increase for resets exercised within the first five contract years. See Illustration 4
    below.

    Investment Option Restrictions. While the ING LifePay rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to
    which your Contract value may be allocated. Contract value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will
    be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See “Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these restrictions to mitigate the insurance risk inherent
    in our guarantees with this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the
    Contract. The timing of when and how we apply these restrictions is discussed further below.

      Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:

    ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio; 
    ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio; 
    ING Liquid Assets Portfolio; 
    ING MFS Total Return Portfolio; 
    ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio; 
    ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio; 
    ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index Portfolio; and 
    BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Portfolio. 

      We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days notice to you. If a change is made, the change will
    apply to Contract value allocated to such portfolios after the date of the change.

    Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: the ING American Funds Bond
    Portfolio; the ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio; the ING PIMCO Core Bond
    Portfolio and the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio
    . You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING
    VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds
    Automatic Rebalancing.

    Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than the Accepted Funds or Fixed
    Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is
    less than 20% of the total Contract value allocated to both the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any
    ING LifePay Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract value allocated to the Fixed
    Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds.
    Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done
    on a pro-rata basis from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction
    processed on that date. The ING LifePay Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the
    following transactions:

    1)      receipt of additional premiums;
     
    2)      transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you;
     
    3)      withdrawals from a Fixed Allocation Fund or Other Fund.
     

      Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the
    Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of
    compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H6


    Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See
    “Appendix G – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations by a confirmation
    statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.

    In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the
    Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “Appendix G – Examples
    of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the ING LifePay
    rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions,
    including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the ING LifePay rider
    if you do not wish to have your Contract value reallocated in this manner.

    Death of Owner or Annuitant. The ING LifePay rider and charges terminate on the earlier of:

    1)      if the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal status, the date of receipt of due proof of death (“claim date”) of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner) or the annuitant if there is a non-natural owner; or
     
    2)      the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit status.
     

    Under 1), above, the rider terminates on the death of the first owner, even if the owner is not the annuitant.
    Thus, you should not purchase this rider with multiple owners, unless the owners are spouses. Under 2),
    above, we will continue to pay the periodic payments that the owner was receiving under the LifePay rider to
    the annuitant. No other death benefit is payable in this situation.

    Continuation After Death – Spouse. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the
    Contract (see “Death Benefit Choices – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue,
    provided the following conditions are met:

    1)      The spouse is at least 55 years old on the date the Contract is continued; and
     
    2)      The spouse becomes the annuitant and sole owner.
     

    If the rider is in the Growth Phase at the time of spousal continuation:

    1)      The rider will continue in the Growth Phase;
     
    2)      On the date the rider is continued, the ING LifePay Base will be reset to equal the greater of the ING LifePay Base and the then current Contract value;
     
    3)      The ING LifePay charges will restart and be the same as were in effect prior to the claim date; and
     
    4)      The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage will be determined as of the date of the first withdrawal, whenever it occurs, and will be based on the spouse’s age on that date.
     

    If the rider is in the Withdrawal Phase at the time of spousal continuation:

    1)      The rider will continue in the Withdrawal Phase.
     
    2)      On the Contract anniversary following the date the rider is continued:
     
      (a)      If the surviving spouse was not the annuitant before the owner’s death, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the Contract value on that Contract anniversary by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage based on the surviving spouse’s age on that Contract anniversary. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is considered to be zero until this recalculation, so withdrawals pursuant to the rider cannot be utilized. Withdrawals are
     

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H7


      permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the Contract. In other words, withdrawals during this time will not be subject to the guarantees of this rider. Withdrawals causing the Contract value to fall to zero will terminate the Contract and the rider.
     
    (b)      If the surviving spouse was the annuitant before the owner’s death, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated as the greater of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the claim date (adjusted for excess withdrawals thereafter) and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal resulting from multiplying the Contract value on that Contract anniversary by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal does not go to zero on the claim date, which is the date of receipt of due proof of death, and withdrawals may continue under the rider provisions.
     

    3) The rider charges will restart on the Contract anniversary following the date the rider is continued
    and will be the same as were in effect prior to the claim date.

    Effect of ING LifePay Rider on Death Benefit. If you die before Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status begins under the ING LifePay rider, the death benefit is payable, but the rider terminates. However, if
    the beneficiary is the owner’s spouse, and the spouse elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit is not
    payable until the spouse’s death. Thus, you should not purchase this rider with multiple owners, unless the
    owners are spouses. See “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and “Continuation After Death – Spouse” above for
    further information.

    While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner who is not the annuitant dies, we will
    continue to pay the periodic payments that the owner was receiving under the ING LifePay rider until the death
    of the annuitant. While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if an owner who is also the annuitant
    dies, the periodic payments will stop. No other death benefit is payable.

    Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as provided above under “Continuation After Death- Spouse,”
    you may not change the annuitant. The rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including
    adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:

    1)      spousal continuation as described above;
     
    2)      change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
     
    3)      change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
     
    4)      change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    5)      collateral assignments;
     
    6)      change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
     
    7)      change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual; and
     
    8)      change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual.
     

    Surrender Charges. If you elect the ING LifePay rider, the amount of your withdrawals will be subject to
    surrender charges and any recapture of credits if they exceed the free withdrawal amount. However, once your
    Contract value is zero, the periodic payments under the ING LifePay rider are not subject to surrender charges, nor
    will these amounts be subject to any other charges under the Contract. See Appendix H for examples.

    Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the ING LifePay rider.

    Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the ING LifePay rider,
    see “Federal Tax Considerations – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Death Benefit.”

    ING Joint LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (ING Joint LifePay) Rider. The ING Joint
    LifePay rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum
    level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse, even if these
    withdrawals deplete your contract value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are married and are
    concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.



    Purchase. The ING Joint LifePay rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the
    time of purchase and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) when the death benefit
    becomes payable. We refer to these individuals as spouses. Certain ownership, annuitant, and beneficiary
    designations are required in order to purchase the ING Joint LifePay rider. See “Ownership, Annuitant and
    Beneficiary Requirements,” below.

    The minimum issue age is 55 and the maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet these issue age
    requirements on the contract anniversary on which the ING Joint LifePay rider is effective. The issue age is the age
    of the owners on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker dealers may not offer the
    ING Joint LifePay rider, or may limit the maximum issue age to ages younger than age 80, but in no event lower
    than age 55. We reserve the right to change the minimum or maximum issue ages on a nondiscriminatory basis.
    The ING Joint LifePay rider is available for Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 that do not already
    have a living benefit rider. The ING Joint LifePay rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment
    options is not in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,”
    below. Also, the ING Joint LifePay rider will not be issued if any contract value is allocated to a Fixed Interest
    Division, nor may you subsequently allocate contract value to a Fixed Interest Division. The Company in its
    discretion may allow the ING Joint LifePay rider to be elected during the 30-day period preceding a contract
    anniversary. Such election must be received in good order, including owner, annuitant, and beneficiary designations
    and compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The ING Joint LifePay rider will be effective as
    of that contract anniversary.

    Ownership, Annuitant and Beneficiary Designation Requirements. Certain ownership, annuitant and
    beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the ING Joint LifePay rider. These designations depend
    upon whether the contract is issued as a nonqualified contract, an IRA or a custodial IRA. In all cases, the
    ownership, annuitant and beneficiary designations must allow for the surviving spouse to continue the contract when
    the death benefit becomes payable, as provided by the Tax Code. Non-natural, custodial owners are only allowed
    with IRAs (“custodial IRAs”). Joint annuitants are not allowed. The necessary ownership, annuitant and/or
    beneficiary designations are described below. Applications that do not meet the requirements below will be
    rejected. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.

    Nonqualified Contracts. For a jointly owned contract, the owners must be spouses, and the annuitant
    must be one of the owners. For a contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary
    beneficiary, and the annuitant must be one of the spouses.

    IRAs. There may only be one owner, who must also be the annuitant. The owner’s spouse must be the
    sole primary beneficiary.

    Custodial IRAs. While we do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for IRAs held
    by an outside custodian, the ownership and beneficiary designations with the custodian must comply with the
    requirements listed in “IRAs” above. The annuitant must be the same as the beneficial owner of the custodial
    IRA. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and the owner’s
    spouse.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

      Rider Date. The ING Joint LifePay rider date is the date the ING Joint LifePay rider becomes effective. If you
    purchase the ING Joint LifePay rider when the contract is issued, the ING Joint LifePay rider date is also the
    contract date.

    Charge. The charge for the ING Joint LifePay rider is as follows:

    Current Annual Charge    Maximum Annual Charge if Reset Option 
    (Charge Deducted Quarterly)    Elected 


    0.75% of the contract value    1.50% of contract value 



      We deduct the quarterly charge in arrears based on the contract date (contract year versus calendar year). In
    arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the contract date. If the rider is
    added after contract issue, the charges will still be deducted on quarterly contract anniversaries, but the first
    charge will be pro-rated based on what is owed at the time the rider is added through the contract quarter end.
    Similarly, the charge is pro-rated based on what is owed at the time the rider is terminated. Charges are
    deducted during the period starting on the rider date and up to your rider’s Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your contract value is reduced to zero and other
    conditions are met. We may increase the charge for this rider if you elect the reset option after your first five
    contract years, but subject to the maximum annual charge. For more information about how this rider works,
    including when Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins, please see “Living Benefit Riders – ING
    Joint LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider.” If you surrender or annuitize your Contract,
    the charge is pro-rated based on what is owed at the time. We reserve the right to change the charge for this
    rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after
    this change.

    No Cancellation. Once you purchase the ING Joint LifePay rider, you may not cancel it unless you: a) cancel
    the contract during the contract’s free look period; b) surrender the contract; c) begin the income phase and start
    receiving annuity payments; or d) otherwise terminate the contract pursuant to its terms. These events
    automatically cancel the ING Joint LifePay rider.

    Termination. The ING Joint LifePay rider is a “living benefit” which means the guaranteed benefits offered
    are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your contract is in the
    accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:

    1)      annuitize or terminate your contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving annuity payments in lieu of payments under the ING Joint LifePay rider;
     
    2)      die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die in the case of joint owners, or death of annuitant if the contract is a custodial IRA), unless your spouse elects to continue the contract (and your spouse is active for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay rider): or
     
    3)      change the owner of the contract (other than a spousal continuation by an active spouse).
     

    See “Change of Owner or Annuitant,” below. Other circumstances that may cause the ING Joint LifePay rider
    to terminate automatically are discussed below.

    Active Status. Once the ING Joint LifePay rider has been issued, a spouse must remain in “active” status in
    order to exercise rights and receive the benefits of the ING Joint LifePay rider after the first spouse’s death by
    electing spousal continuation. In general, changes to the ownership, annuitant, and/or beneficiary designation
    requirements noted above will result in one spouse being designated as “inactive.” Inactive spouses are not eligible
    to continue the benefits of the ING Joint LifePay rider after the death of the other spouse. Once designated
    “inactive,” a spouse may not regain active status under the ING Joint LifePay rider. Specific situations that will
    result in a spouse’s designation as “inactive” include the following:

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H10


    1)      For nonqualified contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an active spouse.
     
    2)      For nonqualified contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an active spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries).
     
    3)      In the event of the death of one spouse (in which case the deceased spouse becomes inactive).
     

    An owner may also request that one spouse be treated as inactive. In the case of joint-owned contracts, both
    contract owners must agree to such a request. An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any
    benefits under the ING Joint LifePay rider. However, all charges for the ING Joint LifePay rider will continue
    to apply, even if one spouse becomes inactive, regardless of the reason. You should make sure you
    understand the impact of beneficiary and owner changes on the ING Joint LifePay rider prior to requesting
    any such changes.

    A divorce will terminate the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the contract. See “Divorce,” below.

    How the ING Joint LifePay Rider Works. The ING Joint LifePay rider has both statuses and phases.
    Through the lifetime of the ING Joint LifePay rider, you will be in one of two phases: the Growth Phase or the
    Withdrawal Phase. As detailed below, the Growth Phase begins on the effective date of the rider and ends as of the
    business day before you take your first withdrawal, or before you begin to receive annuity payments. The Growth
    Phase is subject to the latest date for annuitization allowed under your Contract. See “The Income Phase –
    Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments.” During the Growth Phase, no benefits under the ING
    Joint LifePay rider are being paid out; rather, during the Growth Phase, premiums and investment growth under your
    Contract continue to accumulate. The Withdrawal Phase follows the Growth Phase and begins once you take your
    first withdrawal or annuity payment, whichever occurs first. During the Withdrawal Phase, you may withdraw
    guaranteed amounts from your Contract, subject to the terms and conditions noted in this section.

    During the life of the rider, it will also be treated as in one of two statuses: Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status
    or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Together, these statuses operate to fulfill the rider’s withdrawal
    guarantee. Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins on the date the rider is issued and continues until certain
    circumstances occur as noted in “Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status,” below. Lifetime Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status is a status that only begins if your contract value is depleted to zero for reasons other than
    withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as discussed more thoroughly below. In Lifetime
    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint
    LifePay rider, you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal. If your contract value is depleted because of withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal, then the Contract and the ING Joint LifePay rider will terminate without value. While all riders begin
    in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, not all riders will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status.

    Benefits paid under the ING Joint LifePay rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The
    ING Joint LifePay Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the contract) is used to determine the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:

    1)      If you purchased the ING Joint LifePay rider on the contract date, the initial ING Joint LifePay Base is equal to the initial premium, plus premium credits.
     
    2)      If you purchased the ING Joint LifePay rider after the contract date, the initial ING Joint LifePay Base is equal to the contract value on the effective date of the ING Joint LifePay rider.
     
    3)      The initial ING Joint LifePay Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received during the Growth Phase and premium credits, if applicable (“eligible premiums”). The ING Joint LifePay Base is also increased to equal the contract value if the contract value is greater than the current ING Joint
     

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H11


      LifePay Base, valued on each quarterly contract anniversary after the effective date of the ING Joint
    LifePay rider during the Growth Phase. The ING Joint LifePay Base has no additional impact on the
    calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.

    Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of
    determining the ING Joint LifePay Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat
    such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during
    the Withdrawal Phase do increase the contract value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal if
    you choose to reset the ING Joint LifePay rider (see “ING Joint LifePay Reset Option,” below). We reserve the
    right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the effective date of the rider and continues
    until the earliest of:

    1)      the date annuity payments begin (see “The Income Phase”);
     
    2)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    3)      reduction of the contract value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
     
    4)      the surrender of the Contract; or
     
    5)      the death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners, or the annuitant, in the case of a custodial IRA), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
     

    The rider’s status changes to Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event contract value is reduced to
    zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including due to poor
    market performance. In Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, other than payments as provided under the
    ING Joint LifePay rider the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits). If contract value is
    reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount, the Contract and rider will
    terminate without value. For more information about the effect of a withdrawal reducing the contract value to zero,
    please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below. As described below, certain features of the ING
    Joint LifePay rider may differ depending on whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.

    Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined
    on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by
    the greater of the contract value and the ING Joint LifePay Base, as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The
    first withdrawal after the effective date of the ING Joint LifePay rider (which causes the end of the Growth
    Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, immediately after calculation of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the
    youngest active spouse on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:

    Annuitant Age    Maximum Annual 
        Withdrawal Percentage 


    55-64    4% 


    65-75    5% 


    76-80    6% 


    81+    7% 



      Once determined the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the contract. This is
    important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that
    time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H12


    If the ING Joint LifePay rider is in the Growth Phase, and the annuity commencement date is reached, the ING
    Joint LifePay rider will enter the Withdrawal Phase and annuity payments will begin. In lieu of the annuity
    options under the Contract, you may elect a life only annuity option under which we will pay the greater of the
    annuity payout under the Contract and annual payments equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, provided
    that, if both spouses are active, payments under the life only annuity option will be calculated using the joint life
    expectancy table for both spouses. If only one spouse is active, payments will be calculated using the single life
    expectancy table for the active spouse.

    Whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is subject to change depends on the extent of your withdrawals.
    The amount of your withdrawal or withdrawals in a contract year that, when added together, do not exceed the
    Maximum Withdrawal Amount do not reduce the Maximum Withdrawal Amount. However, if the total
    amount of your withdrawals in any contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced in the same proportion as the contract value is reduced by the
    amount of the excess withdrawal.

    For this purpose, an excess withdrawal is the lesser of the amount by which your total withdrawals in a Contract
    year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the amount of your present request for a withdrawal. The
    amount of any applicable premium credit deduction (recapture) or surrender charges are not included in
    determining whether the total amount of your withdrawals in a Contract year exceeds the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and triggers a pro-rata reduction. However, in the event that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    to be subject to a pro-rata reduction because of an excess withdrawal, the amount by which the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal will be reduced will include any premium credit deduction and surrender charges. See
    Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.

    Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the contract to satisfy the Required
    Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay
    rider, and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such
    withdrawal, which exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific contract year, will not be deemed
    excess withdrawals in that contract year for purposes of the ING Joint LifePay rider, subject to the following:

    1)      If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before January 31 of that year), applicable to this contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
     
    2)      Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current contract year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawal will count against and reduce the Additional Withdrawal Amount without being deemed an excess withdrawal.
     
    3)      In the event of any withdrawals that exceed both the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, the dollar amount of these withdrawals will be deemed excess withdrawals that cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be reduced on a pro-rata basis, as described above.
     
    4)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal the portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount does not carry over into the next calendar year.
     
    5)      The ING Joint LifePay rider cannot accommodate any grace periods allowed for Required Minimum Distributions pursuant to the Tax Code.
     
    6)      The Additional Withdrawal Amount does not change in the event you choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. See “ING Joint LifePay Reset Option” below. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is only subject to change when the Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset as described above.

      See Illustrations 3 and 4 below.

      Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the
    payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of
    the contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase, such withdrawals
    reduce the ING Joint LifePay Base in the same proportion as contract value is reduced by the amount of these
    fees. During the Withdrawal Phase, these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.

    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the contract value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in
    excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the contract and the ING Joint LifePay rider will terminate
    without value due to the pro-rata reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,”
    above.

    If the contract value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal while the ING Joint LifePay rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the ING Joint
    LifePay rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make
    withdrawals. Instead, under the ING Joint LifePay rider you will begin to receive periodic payments in an
    annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    When the ING Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    1)      other than as provided under the ING Joint LifePay rider, the contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits);
     
    2)      no further premium payments will be accepted; and
     
    3)      any other riders attached to the contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
     

    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount
    that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The time period for which we will make these payments will
    depend upon whether one or two spouses are active under the ING Joint LifePay rider at the time this status
    begins. If both spouses are active under the ING Joint LifePay rider, these payments will cease upon the death
    of the second spouse, at which time both the ING Joint LifePay rider and the contract will terminate without
    further value. If only one spouse is active under the ING Joint LifePay rider, the payments will cease upon the
    death of the active spouse, at which time both the ING Joint LifePay rider and the contract will terminate
    without value.

    If when the ING Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, your net withdrawals to
    date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that contract year, then we will pay you the difference
    immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full contract year following the date
    the ING Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid
    annually thereafter.

    You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the contract. Under a systematic
    withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the contract value will be
    withdrawn from your contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at
    the time the ING Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving
    systematic withdrawals under the contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at
    the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each contract year will equal the
    annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously
    set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually
    or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-contract year or contract year, as applicable.

    ING Joint LifePay Reset Option. Beginning one year after the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may choose to
    reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal when the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as recalculated, would be greater
    than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, based on the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H14


    times contract value. You must elect to reset by a request in a form satisfactory to us. On the date the request is
    received (the “Reset Effective Date”), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will increase to be equal to the applicable
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage times the contract value on the Reset Effective Date. (For your
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, see “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above). The
    reset option is only available when the ING Joint LifePay rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. We
    reserve the right to limit resets to the contract anniversary.

    After exercising the reset option, you must wait one year before electing to reset again. We will not accept a request
    to reset if the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the date the request is received would be less than your current
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    If the reset option is exercised, the charge for the ING Joint LifePay rider will be equal to the charge then in effect
    for a newly purchased rider but will not exceed the maximum annual charge of 1.50%. However, we guarantee that
    the ING Joint LifePay rider charge will not increase for resets exercised within the first five contract years. See
    Illustration 4 below.

    Investment Option Restrictions. While the ING Joint LifePay rider is in effect, there are limits on the
    portfolios to which your contract value may be allocated. Contract value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted
    Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See
    “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these restrictions to mitigate the insurance risk
    inherent in our guarantees with this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to
    the Contract. The timing of when and how we apply these restrictions is discussed further below.

      Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:

    ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio; 
    ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio; 
    ING LifeStyle Moderate Portfolio; 
    ING Liquid Assets Portfolio; 
    ING MFS Total Return Portfolio; 
    ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio; 
    ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio; 
    ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index Portfolio; and 
    BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Portfolio. 

      We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days notice to you. If a change is made, the change will
    apply to contract value allocated to such portfolios after the date of the change.

    Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: the ING American Funds Bond
    Portfolio; the ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio; the ING PIMCO Core Bond
    Portfolio; and the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio
    . You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING
    VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds
    Automatic Rebalancing.

    Other Funds. All portfolios available under the contract other than the Accepted Funds or Fixed
    Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is
    less than 20% of the total contract value allocated to both the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any
    ING Joint LifePay Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the contract value allocated to the Fixed
    Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds.
    Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done
    on a pro-rata basis from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H15


      processed on that date. The ING Joint LifePay Rebalancing Dates occur on each contract anniversary and after
    the following transactions:

    1)      receipt of additional premiums;
     
    2)      transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
     
    3)      withdrawals from a Fixed Allocation Fund or Other Fund.
     

    Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the
    contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the contract causes the allocations to be out of
    compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic
    Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See
    “Appendix G – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed
    Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation
    statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Rebalancing has occurred.

    In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the
    Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “Appendix G – Examples
    of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the ING Joint
    LifePay rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these
    transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the ING
    Joint LifePay rider if you do not wish to have your contract value reallocated in this manner.

    Divorce. Generally, in the event of a divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the contract will continue to
    be entitled to all rights and benefits of the ING Joint LifePay rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any such
    rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status,
    the ING Joint LifePay rider continues, and terminates upon the death of the owner (first owner in the case of joint
    owners, or the annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be available under the
    Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the ING Joint LifePay rider cannot be continued by the new spouse. As the
    result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse. Any such withdrawal
    will be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. In other words, if a
    withdrawal incident to a divorce exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, it will be considered an excess
    withdrawal. See “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above. As noted, in the event of a divorce
    there is no change to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and we will continue to deduct charges for the ING Joint
    LifePay rider.

    In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, there will be no change to the periodic
    payments made. Payments will continue until both spouses are deceased.

    Death of Owner. The death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner, or for custodial IRAs,
    the annuitant) during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status may cause the termination of the ING Joint LifePay
    rider and its charges, depending upon whether one or both spouses are in active status at the time of death, as
    described below.

    1)      If both spouses are in active status: If the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract and becomes the sole owner and annuitant, the ING Joint LifePay rider will remain in effect pursuant to its original terms and ING Joint LifePay coverage and charges will continue. As of the date the contract is continued, if the Contract is in the Growth Phase, then the ING Joint LifePay Base will be increased to equal the contract value, if greater. Otherwise, if the Contract is in the Withdrawal Phase, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be set to the greater of the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the contract value on the date the contract is continued. Such a reset will not count as an exercise of the ING Joint LifePay Reset Option, and rider charges will not increase.
     

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H16


      If the surviving spouse elects not to continue the contract, ING Joint LifePay rider coverage and charges will cease upon the earlier of payment of the death benefit or notice that an alternative distribution option has been chosen.
     
    2)      If the surviving spouse is in inactive status: The ING Joint LifePay rider terminates and ING Joint LifePay coverage and charges cease upon proof of death.
     

    Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as a result of spousal continuation, you may not change the
    annuitant. The ING Joint LifePay rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including adding an
    additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:

    1)      spousal continuation by an active spouse, as described above;
     
    2)      change of owner from one custodian to another custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    3)      change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (in order to avoid the owner’s spouse from being designated inactive, the owner’s spouse must be named sole beneficiary under the contract);
     
    4)      change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
     
    5)      collateral assignments;
     
    6)      for nonqualified contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided that the additional joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is active when added as joint owner;
     
    7)      for nonqualified contracts, removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is active and becomes the primary contract beneficiary; and
     
    8)      change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner if both were active spouses at the time of the change.
     

    Surrender Charges. If you elect the ING Joint LifePay rider, the amount of your withdrawals will be subject
    to surrender charges and any recapture of credits if they exceed the free withdrawal amount. However, once your
    contract value is zero, the periodic payments under the ING Joint LifePay rider are not subject to surrender charges,
    nor will these amounts be subject to any other charges under the contract. See below for examples.

    Federal Tax Considerations. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the
    ING Joint LifePay rider, see “Federal Tax Considerations – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Death
    Benefit.”

    ING LifePay and ING Joint LifePay Partial Withdrawal Amount Examples.

    The following are examples of adjustments to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for withdrawals in excess
    of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal:

    Illustration 1: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including surrender and/or MVA charges.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $500 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H17


    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $300 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $200 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, then there
    is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $7,000 ($3,000 + $500 + $1,500 + $300 + $1,500 + $200). The
    adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal ($7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross withdrawal ($1,500 + 200 =
    $1,700.

    If the Account Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 3.40%
    ($1,700 / $50,000) to $4,830 ((1 - 3.40%) * $5,000).

    Illustration 2: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an
    adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Total gross withdrawals during the contract year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser
    of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000,
    and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.

    If the Account Value after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500,
    is $49,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%)
    * $5,000).

    Illustration 3: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount but does not exceed the
    Additional Withdrawal Amount.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The RMD for the current calendar year applicable to this
    contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of this amount
    above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).

    The first withdrawal taken during the contract year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed
    the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.

    The next withdrawal taken during the contract year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA
    charges. Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, however, the

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    H18


    Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not adjusted until the Additional Withdrawal Amount is exhausted. The amount by
    which total net withdrawals taken exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000), is the same
    as the Additional Withdrawal Amount, so no adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is made. If total net
    withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal
    Amount, then an adjustment would be made to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

    Illustration 4: An Additional Withdrawal Amount expires at the end of the calendar year before it is
    withdrawn.

    Assume the most recent contract date was July 1, 2007 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Also
    assume RMDs, applicable to this contract, are $6,000 and $5,000 for the 2008 and 2009 calendar years respectively.

    Between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 a withdrawal of $5,000 is taken which exhausts the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal.

    On January 1, 2008, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2008 RMD above the
    existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000). Note that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has
    been exhausted however is still used to calculate the Additional Withdrawal Amount.

    The owner now has until December 31, 2008 to take the newly calculated Additional Withdrawal Amount of
    $1,000. The owner decides not to take the Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000 in 2008.

    On January 1, 2009, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2009 RMD above the
    existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $0 ($5,000-$5,000). Note that the Additional Withdrawal Amount of
    $1,000 from the 2008 calendar year does not carry over to the 2009 calendar year.

    Illustration 5: The Reset Option is utilized.

    Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage is 5%.

    One year after the first withdrawal is taken, the contract value has increased to $120,000, and the Reset Option is
    utilized. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,000 ($120,000 * 5%).

    One year after the Reset Option was first utilized, the contract value has increased further to $130,000. The Reset
    Option is utilized again, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,500 ($130,000 * 5%).

      APPENDIX I

    Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit

    Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider (MGWB). Effective September 4, 2007, the MGWB rider is
    no longer available. The MGWB rider, marketed under the name, ING PrincipalGuard Withdrawal Benefit, is an
    optional benefit which guarantees that if your contract value is reduced to zero, you will receive periodic payments.
    The amount of the periodic payments is based on the amount in the MGWB Withdrawal Account. Only premiums
    added to your Contract during the first two-year period after your rider date are included in the MGWB
    Withdrawal Account. Any additional premium payments added after the second rider anniversary are not included
    in the MGWB Withdrawal Account. Thus, the MGWB rider may not be appropriate for you if you plan to add
    substantial premium payments after your second rider anniversary. If you elect the MGWB rider, you may not
    allocate contract value to the GET Fund or the Fixed Interest Division. For Contracts purchased on and after
    August 7, 2006, the MGWB rider was available if you elected the premium credit option. (Otherwise, the MGWB
    rider was not available with the premium credit option).

    The guarantee provides that, subject to the conditions described below, the amount you will receive in periodic
    payments is equal to your Eligible Payment Amount adjusted for any prior withdrawals. Your Eligible Payment
    Amount depends on when you purchase the MGWB rider and equals:

    1)      if you purchased the MGWB rider on the contract date: your premium payments received during the first two contract years;
     
    2)      if you purchased the MGWB rider after the contract date: your contract value on the Rider Date, including any premiums received that day, and any subsequent premium payments received during the two-year period commencing on the Rider Date.
     

    To maintain the guarantee, withdrawals in any contract year may not exceed 7% of your Eligible Payment Amount
    adjusted, as defined below. If your contract value is reduced to zero, your periodic payments will be 7% of your
    Eligible Payment Amount every year. Payments continue until your MGWB Withdrawal Account is reduced to zero.
    Please note that before Automatic Periodic Benefit status is reached, withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal
    amount will be subject to surrender charges. Once your contract reaches Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, the
    periodic payments paid under the MGWB rider are not subject to surrender charges.

    The MGWB Withdrawal Account is equal to the Eligible Payment Amount adjusted for any withdrawals. The
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (or “MAW”) is equal to 7% of the Eligible Payment Amount. Withdrawals
    up to the MAW will reduce the value of your MGWB Withdrawal Account by the dollar amount of the withdrawal.
    Any withdrawals greater than the MAW will cause a reduction in the MGWB Withdrawal Account by the
    proportion that the excess withdrawal bears to the remaining contract value after the withdrawal of the MAW.

    Any withdrawals greater than the MAW will also cause a reduction in the Eligible Payment Amount by the
    proportion that the excess portion of the withdrawal bears to the contract value remaining after withdrawal of the
    MAW at the time of the withdrawal. Examples of excess withdrawals are at the end of this appendix.

    Once your contract value is zero, any periodic payments paid under the MGWB rider also reduce the MGWB
    Withdrawal Account by the dollar amount of the payments. If a withdrawal reduces the MGWB Withdrawal
    Account to zero, the MGWB rider terminates and no further benefits are payable under the rider.

    There are tax implications of withdrawals and payments under the MGWB rider. See “Withdrawals” and “Federal
    Tax Considerations” in the prospectus for more information. You should not make any withdrawals if you wish
    to retain the option to elect the Step-Up Benefit (see below).

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    I1


    The MGWB Withdrawal Account is only a calculation which represents the remaining amount available for periodic
    payments. It does not represent a contract value, nor does it guarantee performance of the subaccounts in which you
    are invested. It will not affect your annuitization, surrender and death benefits.

    Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. You may continue to make withdrawals in any amount permitted under your
    Contract so long as your contract value is greater than zero. See “Withdrawals” in the prospectus. However, making
    any withdrawals in any year greater than the MAW will reduce the Eligible Payment Amount and payments under
    the MGWB rider by the proportion that the withdrawal bears to the contract value at the time of the withdrawal. The
    MGWB rider will remain in force and you may continue to make withdrawals each year so long as:

    1)      your contract value is greater than zero;
     
    2)      your MGWB Withdrawal Account is greater than zero;
     
    3)      you have not reached your latest allowable annuity start date;
     
    4)      you have not elected to annuitize your Contract; and
     
    5)      you have not died (unless your spouse has elected to continue the Contract), changed the ownership of the Contract or surrendered the Contract.
     

    The standard Contract provision limiting withdrawals to no more than 90% of the cash surrender value is not
    applicable under the MGWB rider.

    Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Under the MGWB rider, in the event your contract value is reduced to
    zero, your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if:

    1)      your MGWB Withdrawal Account is greater than zero;
     
    2)      you have not reached your latest allowable annuity start date;
     
    3)      you have not elected to annuitize your Contract; and
     
    4)      you have not died, changed the ownership of the Contract or surrendered the Contract.
     

    Once your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you the annual MGWB periodic
    payments, beginning on the next contract anniversary until the earliest of: (i) your Contract’s latest annuity start
    date; (ii) the death of the owner; or (iii) your MGWB Withdrawal Account is exhausted. These payments are equal
    to the lesser of the remaining MGWB Withdrawal Account or the MAW. We will reduce the MGWB Withdrawal
    Account by the amount of each payment. Once your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will
    not accept any additional premium payments in your Contract, and the Contract will not provide any benefits except
    those provided by the MGWB rider. Any other rider terminates. Your Contract will remain in Automatic Periodic
    Benefit Status until the earliest of: (i) payment of all MGWB periodic payments; (ii) payment of the Commuted
    Value (defined below); or (iii) the owner’s death.

    On the Contract’s latest annuity start date, in lieu of making the remaining MGWB periodic payments, we will pay
    you the Commuted Value of your MGWB periodic payments remaining. We may, at our option, extend your
    annuity start date in order to continue the MGWB periodic payments. The Commuted Value is the present value of
    any then-remaining MGWB periodic payments at the current interest rate plus 0.50% . The current interest rate will
    be determined by the average of the Ask Yields for U.S. Treasury STRIPS as quoted by a national quoting service
    for period(s) applicable to the remaining payments. Once we pay you the last MGWB periodic payment or the
    Commuted Value, your Contract and the MGWB rider terminate.

    Reset Option. Beginning on the fifth contract anniversary following the Rider Date, if the contract value is
    greater than the MGWB Withdrawal Account, you may choose to reset the MGWB Rider. The effect will be to
    terminate the existing MGWB Rider and add a new MGWB Rider (“New Rider”). The MGWB Withdrawal
    Account under the New Rider will equal the contract value on the date the New Rider is effective. The charge for
    the MGWB under the New Rider and any right to reset again will be based on the terms of the New Rider when it is
    issued. We reserve the right to limit the reset election to contract anniversaries only. If you elect the Reset Option,
    the Step-Up benefit is not available.

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    I2


    Step-Up Benefit. If the Rider Date is the same as the Contract Date, beginning on the fifth contract anniversary
    following the Rider Date, if you have not made any previous withdrawals, you may elect to increase the MGWB
    Withdrawal Account, the adjusted Eligible Payment Amount and the MAW by a factor of 20%. This option is
    available whether or not the contract value is greater than the MGWB Withdrawal Account. If you elect the Step-Up
    Benefit:

    1)      we reserve the right to increase the charge for the MGWB Rider up to a maximum annual charge of 1.00% of contract value;
     
    2)      you must wait at least five years from the Step-Up date to elect the Reset Option.
     

    The Step-Up Benefit may be elected only one time under the MGWB Rider. We reserve the right to limit the
    election of The Step-Up benefit to contract anniversary only. Please note that if you have a third party investment
    advisor who charges a separate advisory fee, and you have chosen to use withdrawals from your Contract to pay this
    fee, these will be treated as any other withdrawals, and the Step-Up Benefit will not be available.

    Death of Owner
    Before Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The MGWB rider terminates on the first owner’s date of death
    (death of annuitant, if there is a non-natural owner), but the death benefit is payable. However, if the beneficiary is
    the owner’s spouse, the spouse elects to continue the Contract, and the contract value steps up to the minimum
    guaranteed death benefit, the MGWB Withdrawal Account and MAW are also reset. The MGWB charge will
    continue at the existing rate. Reset upon spousal continuation does not affect any then existing Reset Option.

    During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The death benefit payable during Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status is your MGWB Withdrawal Account which equals the sum of the remaining MGWB periodic payments.

    Purchase and Charge. To purchase the MGWB rider, you must be age 80 or younger on the Rider Date. The
    MGWB rider must be purchased on the contract date. The charge for the MGWB rider is as follows:

    Maximum Annual Charge if Step-Up    Current Annual Charge 


    Benefit Elected    (Charge Deducted Quarterly) 


    1.00% of the contract value    0.45% of the contract value 



    Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (MGWB). The annual charge for the MGWB rider is 0.45%
    (0.12% quarterly) of the contract value. Before May 1, 2005, the annual charge was 0.35% of the contract value.
    The charge is deducted from the contract value on each quarterly contract anniversary date, in arrears. We will
    deduct charges during the period starting on the rider date and up to your Contract’s Automatic Periodic Benefit
    Status. Automatic Periodic Benefit Status will occur if your contract value is reduced to zero and other conditions
    are met. Please see “Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit - Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” in this
    prospectus. If you elect the Step-Up Benefit, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the MGWB rider,
    subject to the maximum annual charge of 1.00% of contract value. If you surrender or annuitize your Contract, we
    will deduct a pro-rata portion of the charge for the current quarter based on the current quarterly charge rate
    immediately prior to the surrender or annuitization.

    MGWB Excess Withdrawal Amount Examples
    The following are examples of adjustments to the MGWB Withdrawal Account and the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal Amount for transfers and withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“Excess
    Withdrawal Amount”).

    Example # 1: Contract Value is greater than the MGWB Withdrawal Account

    Assume the Contract Value (CV) before the withdrawal is $120,000, the Eligible Payment Amount (EPA) is
    $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (MAW) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account
    (“Withdrawal Account”) is $80,000, and a withdrawal of $10,000 is made. The effect of the withdrawal is
    calculated as follows:

    ING Empire Traditions -147957

    I3


      The new CV is $110,000 ($120,000 - $10,000).
    The Excess Withdrawal Amount is $3,000 ($10,000 - $7,000).

    The MGWB Withdrawal Account is first reduced dollar-for-dollar by the portion of the withdrawal up to the
    MAW to $73,000 ($80,000 - $7,000), and is then reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal
    Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $71,061.95 ($73,000 * (1 - $3,000 /
    $113,000)).

    The EPA is reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being
    reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $97,345.13 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $113,000)). The MAW is then
    recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,814.15 ($97,345.13 * 7%).

    Example # 2: Contract Value is less than the MGWB Withdrawal Account

    Assume the Contract Value (CV) before the withdrawal is $60,000, the Eligible Payment Amount (EPA) is
    $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (MAW) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account
    (“Withdrawal Account”) is $80,000, and a withdrawal of $10,000 is made. The effect of the withdrawal is
    calculated as follows:

      The new CV is $50,000 ($60,000 - $10,000).
    The Excess Withdrawal Amount is $3,000 ($10,000 - $7,000).

    The MGWB Withdrawal Account is first reduced dollar-for-dollar by the portion of the withdrawal up to the
    MAW to $73,000 ($80,000 - $7,000), and is then reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal
    Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $68,867.92 ($73,000 * (1 - $3,000 /
    $53,000)).

    The EPA is reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being
    reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $94,339.62 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $53,000)). The MAW is then
    recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,603.77 ($94,339.62 * 7%).

    Example # 3: Contract Value is equal to the MGWB Withdrawal Account

    Assume the Contract Value (CV) before the withdrawal is $80,000, the Eligible Payment Amount (EPA) is
    $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (MAW) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account
    (“Withdrawal Account”) is $80,000, and a withdrawal of $10,000 is made. The effect of the withdrawal is
    calculated as follows:

      The new CV is $70,000 ($80,000 - $10,000).
    The Excess Withdrawal Amount is $3,000 ($10,000 - $7,000).

    The MGWB Withdrawal Account is first reduced dollar-for-dollar by the portion of the withdrawal up to the
    MAW to $73,000 ($80,000 - $7,000), and is then reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal
    Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $70,000.00 ($73,000 * (1 - $3,000 /
    $73,000)).

    The EPA is reduced pro-rata based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being
    reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $95,890.41 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $73,000)). The MAW is then
    recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,712.32 ($95,890.41 * 7%).

    annuities, employee benefit products and services, retirement plans, and life and health insurance. Until
    October 1, 2003, RLNY was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security-Connecticut Life Insurance
    Company (“Security-Connecticut”). Effective October 1, 2003, Security-Connecticut merged with and

    Safekeeping of Assets
    RLNY acts as its own custodian for Separate Account NY-B.

    The Administrator
    On November 8, 1996, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York (“First Golden”)
    and ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“ING USA”) entered into an administrative service
    agreement pursuant to which ING USA agreed to provide certain accounting, actuarial, tax, underwriting,
    sales, management and other services to First Golden. Beginning on April 1, 2002, the effective date of
    the merger of First Golden into RLNY (“merger date”), the expenses incurred by ING USA in relation to
    this service agreement will be reimbursed by RLNY on an allocated cost basis. As of the merger date,
    RLNY will be obligated to reimburse these expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
    2005, RLNY incurred expenses of $0, $0 and $0, respectively, under the agreement with ING USA.

    1


    Also on November 8, 1996, First Golden, ING USA and Directed Services LLC entered into a service
    agreement pursuant to which First Golden and ING USA agreed to provide Directed Services LLC certain
    of its personnel to perform management, administrative and clerical services and the use of certain of its
    facilities. As of the merger date, RLNY will provide its personnel to provide such services. RLNY
    expects to charge Directed Services LLC for such expenses and all other general and administrative costs,
    first on the basis of direct charges when identifiable and second allocated based on the estimated amount
    of time spent by RLNY’s employees on behalf of Directed Services LLC. For the year ended December
    31, 2007, there were no charges to ING USA and Directed Services LLC for these services.

    Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
    Ernst & Young LLP, 55 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard, Suite 1000, Atlanta GA 30308, an Independent
    Registered Public Accounting Firm, perform annual audits of RLNY and Separate Account NY-B.

    Distribution of Contracts
    The offering of contracts under the prospectus associated with this Statement of Additional Information is
    continuous. Directed Services LLC, an affiliate of RLNY, acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in
    the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable
    insurance products (the “variable insurance products”) issued by RLNY. The contracts are distributed
    through registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into selling agreements with
    Directed Services LLC. For the years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005 commissions paid by ING USA,
    including amounts paid by its affiliated Company, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, to
    Directed Services LLC aggregated $13,679,409, $10,048,681 and $6,964,000, respectively. As of the
    merger date, RLNY became the depositor for these variable insurance products. All commissions
    received by the distributor were passed through to the broker-dealers who sold the contracts. Directed
    Services LLC is located at 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380-1478.

    Published Ratings
    From time to time, the rating of RLNY as an insurance company by A.M. Best Company may be referred
    to in advertisements or in reports to contract owners. Each year A.M. Best Company reviews the financial
    status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best’s Ratings. These ratings reflect their
    current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in
    comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. Best’s ratings range from A++ to F. An
    A++ and a A+ rating means, in the opinion of A.M. Best, that the insurer has demonstrated the strongest
    ability to meet its respective policyholder and other contractual obligations.

    Accumulation Unit Value
    The calculation of the Accumulation Unit Value (“AUV”) is discussed in the prospectus for the Contracts
    under “Performance Information.” Note that in your Contract, contract value is referred to as
    accumulation value. The following illustrations show a calculation of a new AUV and the purchase of
    Units (using hypothetical examples). Note that the examples below are calculated for a Contract issued
    with the Annual Ratchet Death Benefit Option, the death benefit option with the highest mortality and
    expense risk charge. The mortality and expense risk charge associated with the Standard Death Benefit
    Option is lower than that used in the examples and would result in higher AUV’s or contract values.

    Performance Information
    From time to time, we may advertise or include in reports to contract owners performance information for
    the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B, including the average annual total return performance, yields
    and other nonstandard measures of performance. Such performance data will be computed, or
    accompanied by performance data computed, in accordance with standards defined by the SEC.

    Except for the Liquid Assets subaccount, quotations of yield for the subaccounts will be based on all
    investment income per unit (contract value divided by the accumulation unit) earned during a given
    30-day period, less expenses accrued during such period. Information on standard total average annual
    return performance will include average annual rates of total return for 1, 5 and 10 year periods, or lesser
    periods depending on how long Separate Account NY-B has been investing in the portfolio. We may
    show other total returns for periods of less than one year. Total return figures will be based on the actual
    historic performance of the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B, assuming an investment at the
    beginning of the period when the separate account first invested in the portfolio and withdrawal of the
    investment at the end of the period, adjusted to reflect the deduction of all applicable portfolio and current
    contract charges. We may also show rates of total return on amounts invested at the beginning of the
    period with no withdrawal at the end of the period. Total return figures which assume no withdrawals at
    the end of the period will reflect all recurring charges, but will not reflect the surrender charge. In
    addition, we may present historic performance data for the investment portfolios since their inception
    reduced by some or all of the fees and charges under the Contract. Such adjusted historic performance
    includes data that precedes the inception dates of the subaccounts of Separate Account NY-B. This data
    is designed to show the performance that would have resulted if the Contract had been in existence before
    the separate account began investing in the portfolios.

    3


    Current yield for the Liquid Assets subaccount is based on income received by a hypothetical investment
    over a given 7-day period, less expenses accrued, and then “annualized” (i.e., assuming that the 7-day
    yield would be received for 52 weeks). We calculate “effective yield” for the Liquid Assets subaccount
    in a manner similar to that used to calculate yield, but when annualized, the income earned by the
    investment is assumed to be reinvested. The “effective yield” will thus be slightly higher than the “yield”
    because of the compounding effect of earnings. We calculate quotations of yield for the remaining
    subaccounts on all investment income per accumulation unit earned during a given 30-day period, after
    subtracting fees and expenses accrued during the period, assuming no surrender. You should be aware
    that there is no guarantee that the Liquid Assets subaccount will have a positive or level return.

    We may compare performance information for a subaccount to: (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock
    Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Donoghue Money Market Institutional Averages, or any other
    applicable market indices; (ii) other variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products
    tracked by Lipper Analytical Services (a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds
    and other investment companies), or any other rating service; and (iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure
    for inflation) to determine the real rate of return of an investment in the Contract. Our reports and
    promotional literature may also contain other information including the ranking of any subaccount based
    on rankings of variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper
    Analytical Services or by similar rating services.

    Performance information reflects only the performance of a hypothetical contract and should be
    considered in light of other factors, including the investment objective of the investment portfolio and
    market conditions. Please keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    Board of Directors and Stockholder
    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York

    We have audited the accompanying statutory basis balance sheets of ReliaStar Life Insurance
    Company of New York (the “Company,” a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ING America
    Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statutory basis
    statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three
    years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility
    of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
    statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
    Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
    obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
    misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over
    financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
    as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
    purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
    financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
    examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
    statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
    management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
    audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements
    in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State
    Insurance Department (“New York Insurance Department”), which practices differ from United
    States generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and
    United States generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying
    financial statements are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these
    variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

    In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the
    financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with United States
    generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance
    Company of New York at December 31, 2007 and 2006, or the results of its operations or its
    cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.


    However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
    respects, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York at December
    31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
    in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or
    permitted by the New York Insurance Department.

    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

      ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company") is domiciled in New
    York and is a wholly owned subsidiary of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company
    ("ReliaStar"), a Minnesota domiciled insurance company. ReliaStar is a wholly owned
    subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion”), a Connecticut domiciled non-
    insurance holding company. Lion, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING America
    Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), a Delaware domiciled non-insurance holding
    company. The Company’s ultimate parent is ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global
    financial services company based in the Netherlands.

    The Company principally provides and distributes life insurance and related financial
    services products, including individual life insurance and annuities, group life, and health
    products and services. The Company’s strategy is to offer a wide variety of products and
    services designed to address customers’ needs for financial security, especially tax
    advantaged savings for retirement and protection in the event of death. The Company is
    presently licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

    Basis of Presentation: The preparation of the financial statements of the Company
    requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in
    the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could
    change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the
    amounts reported and disclosed herein.

    The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
    conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Insurance
    Department, which practices differ from United States generally accepted accounting
    principles (“GAAP”). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

    Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are
    reported at amortized cost or market value based on the National Association of
    Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments
    are designated at purchase as held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Held to
    maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity
    investments are reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in
    operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other
    comprehensive income in stockholder’s equity for those designated as available for sale.

    The Company invests in structured securities including mortgage backed securities/
    collateralized mortgage obligations, asset backed securities, collateralized debt
    obligations, and commercial mortgage backed securities. For these structured securities,
    management compares the undiscounted projected future cash flows to the carrying
    value. An other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred when the
    undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value.

    8


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      For structured securities, when a negative yield results from a revaluation based on new
    prepayment assumptions (i.e., undiscounted projected future cash flows are less than
    current book value), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred
    and the asset is written down to the value of the undiscounted projected future cash flows.
    For GAAP, assets are re-evaluated based on the discounted projected future cash flows
    using a current market rate. Impairments are recognized when the fair value is less than
    book value and there has been an adverse change in projected future cash flows. When a
    decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the individual security is
    written down to fair value.

    Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross
    basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather
    than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating
    expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties. Changes
    between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged
    directly to unassigned surplus rather than income as would be required under GAAP.

    Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 31, Derivative Instruments
    applies to derivative transactions entered into prior to January 1, 2003. The Company
    also follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative
    Instruments and Hedging Activities for derivative transactions entered into or modified
    on or after January 1, 2003. Under SSAP 86, derivatives that are deemed effective
    hedges are accounted for in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged
    item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of
    SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value
    recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not
    accounted for separately from the host contract. Under GAAP, the effective and
    ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately. An embedded
    derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic
    characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host
    contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow
    hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of shareholder’s equity
    rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

    Valuation Reserves: The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is intended to establish a
    reserve to offset potential credit related investment losses on most invested asset
    categories. AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a
    liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change
    in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus.

    Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized
    gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage
    loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those
    deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual

    9


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    securities sold in five year bands.

    The net deferral or interest maintenance reserve

    (“IMR”) is reported as a component of other liabilities in the accompanying Balance
    Sheets.

    Realized gains and losses on investments are reported in the Statements of Operations net
    of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and
    losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pretax basis in the period that the
    asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold. Realized losses due to impairment are
    recorded when there has been a decline in value deemed to be other than temporary, in
    which case the provision for such declines is charged to income.

    Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on the
    difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the
    collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the
    mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of
    expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if
    foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

    The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage
    loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned
    surplus. Under GAAP, such allowances are included as a component of earnings.

    Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed
    when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance, to the
    extent recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized over the
    premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those
    used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment
    products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are
    amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross margins from
    surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

    Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due.

    Premiums for annuity

    policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group
    annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for
    annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group
    annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

    Under GAAP, premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those
    products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole
    life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Group insurance premiums
    are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate.
    Revenues for universal life, annuities and guaranteed interest contracts consist of policy
    charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy
    initiation fees and surrender charges assessed during the period.

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory
    accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium and
    Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation methods using statutory rates for mortality and
    interest. GAAP requires that policy reserves for traditional products be based upon the
    net level premium method utilizing reasonably conservative estimates of mortality,
    interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest sensitive
    products, the GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned
    revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over
    renewal year policy loads.

    Reinsurance: For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting
    practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an
    offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance
    for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
    Statutory income recognized on certain reinsurance treaties representing financing
    arrangements is not recognized on a GAAP basis.

    Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the
    related reserves rather than as assets as required under GAAP.

    Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when
    received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs
    as required under GAAP.

    Gains and losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are deferred and amortized
    over the remaining life of the business for GAAP purposes. For statutory, losses are
    recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of
    surplus.

    Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally disallowed
    deferred federal income tax assets, disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non
    operating software, past due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets,
    and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC
    Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying
    Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets
    are included in the Balance Sheets.

    Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company’s postretirement benefit
    obligation, only vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation.
    Under GAAP, active participants not currently vested are also included.

    Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies
    consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death
    benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received in

    11


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits
    would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest
    credited to the account values.

    Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared. Under
    GAAP, dividends are recognized over the term of the related policies.

    Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount
    determined under a standard formula. This formula considers the amount of differences
    that will reverse in the subsequent year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered
    through carrybacks, surplus limits, and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for
    offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted. Deferred
    taxes do not include any amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is
    recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in
    future years and a valuation allowance is established for the portion that is not realizable.

    Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short term investments in the Statements of Cash
    Flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less.
    Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash
    balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

    Reconciliation to GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from GAAP on the
    accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are
    presumed to be material.

    Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

    Investments: Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

    Bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the
    effective interest method.

    Single class and multi class mortgage backed/asset backed securities are valued at
    amortized cost using the effective interest method including anticipated prepayments.
    Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are
    based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective
    adjustment method is used to value all such securities except for higher risk asset backed
    securities, which are valued using the prospective method. The Company has elected to
    use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective method
    to securities purchased prior to that date where historical cash flows are not readily
    available.

    Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or
    amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost,

    12


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      amortized cost, or market value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at
    market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities
    Valuation Office of the NAIC (“SVO”).

    Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related
    unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with adjustment
    for federal income taxes.

    The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has
    been an other than temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis.
    Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the market value has
    been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, future
    economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company's intent and ability to not
    sell the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in
    market value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
    a debt security will not be collected, an other than temporary impairment is considered to
    have occurred. The Company also considers the negative market impact of the interest
    rate changes, in addition to credit related items, when performing other than temporary
    impairment testing. As part of this testing, the Company determines whether or not it has
    the intent to sell investments. If a decision to sell has been made, an other than temporary
    impairment is considered to have occurred.

    The Company uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps and options as part of its
    overall interest rate risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity
    products. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values
    all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination,
    gains and losses on instruments are included in the carrying values of the underlying
    hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as
    adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized
    gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold. Derivatives
    used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an
    effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as an
    unrealized gain or loss.

    Credit default swaps and total return swaps are utilized to replicate the investment
    characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other
    investments. Replicated (synthetic) assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the
    derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The replication practices
    are in accordance with SSAP No. 86. permissible investments using the derivative in
    conjunction with other investments.

    Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency
    payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal
    amount.

    13


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      Interest rate swap contracts are used to convert the interest rate characteristics (fixed or
    variable) of certain investments to match those of the related insurance liabilities that the
    investments are supporting. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported
    as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

    All effective derivatives are reported at amortized cost. S&P options are reported at fair
    value in conformity with the hedged item. The unrealized gains or losses from the S&P
    options are reported as unrealized gains or losses in surplus.

    Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write down for impairments.

    Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

    Reverse dollar repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateral borrowings, where
    the amount borrowed is equal to the sales price of the underlying securities.

    The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic bonds from its
    portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Collateral, primarily
    cash, which is in excess of the market value of the loaned securities, is deposited by the
    borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent to generate
    additional income for the Company. The Company does not have access to the collateral.
    The Company’s policy requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned
    to be maintained as collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on
    a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value
    fluctuates.

    Short term investments are reported at amortized cost which approximates market value.
    Short term investments include investments with maturities of less than one year at the
    date of acquisition.

    Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at the
    underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.

    Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first in first out method.

    Cash on hand includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short term investments that
    are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity date of three months or
    less.

    Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts: Life, annuity, and accident and health
    reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published
    tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in
    the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy
    cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2.3% to 11.3% .

    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of
    the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid
    beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for
    certain issues.

    The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

    For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the
    premium paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard
    reserves are held on Paid Up Limited Pay contracts.

    For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the
    standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

    For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the
    flat extra.

    The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net
    premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the New York Insurance
    Department, is $10.5 billion and $8.0 billion at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
    respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross
    premiums are less than the net premiums is $87.3 and $69.7 at December 31, 2007 and
    2006, respectively. The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the
    premium deficiency calculation in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group
    Accident and Health Contracts.

    The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy
    reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance
    classified as group Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds
    not involving life contingencies is as follows: current year reserves, plus payments, less
    prior year reserves, less funds added.

    Reinsurance: Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and
    reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those
    used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance
    contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent
    with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been
    reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to
    reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as
    reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with
    reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations.

    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      Electronic Data Processing Equipment: Electronic data processing equipment is carried
    at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of such assets is
    calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

    Participating Insurance: Participating business approximates less than 4.1% of the
    Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and less than 1% of premium income. The
    amount of dividends to be paid to participating policyholders is determined annually by
    the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on
    published dividend projections or expected dividend scales. Dividends expense of $0.9,
    $0.7 and $0.7 was incurred in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

    Benefit Plans: The Company provides noncontributory retirement plans for substantially
    all employees and certain agents. Pension costs are charged to operations as
    contributions are made to the plans. The Company also provides a contributory
    retirement plan for substantially all employees.

    Nonadmitted Assets: Nonadmitted assets are summarized as follows:

        December 31     
        2007        2006 
       
     
     
        (In Thousands)     
    Deferred federal income taxes    $ 55,958    $ 55,691 
    Agents’ debit balances    353        1,819 
    Deferred and uncollected premiums    5,378        1,625 
    Other    2,297        962 
       
     
     
    Total nonadmitted assets    $ 63,986    $ 60,097 
       
     

      Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in unassigned surplus as an
    increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

    Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses: Claims expenses represent the estimated
    ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31,
    2007. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves.
    Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment
    data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the
    Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2007.

    Guaranteed Benefits: For the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”), Actuarial
    Guideline 34 (“AG34”) is followed. All the methodology and assumptions (mortality
    and interest) are contained in the guideline. AG34 interprets the standards for applying
    CARVM to GMDBs in variable annuity contracts where GMDBs are integrated with
    other benefits such as surrenders and annuitizations. This guideline requires that GMDBs
    be projected assuming an immediate drop in the value of the assets supporting the
    variable annuity contract, followed by a subsequent recovery at a net assumed return.
    The immediate drops and assumed returns used in the projections are provided in AG34

      and vary by five asset classes in order to reflect the risk/return differential inherent in
    each class. Contract specific asset based charges are deducted to obtain the net assumed
    returns. This guideline interprets mortality standards to be applied to projected GMDBs
    in the reserve calculation. In addition, this guideline clarifies standards for reinsurance
    transactions involving GMDBs with the integrated benefit streams modified to reflect
    both the payment of future reinsurance premiums and the recovery of future reinsured
    death benefits.

    For the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefits (“GMIB”), Guaranteed Minimum
    Accumulation Benefits (“GMAB”) and Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits
    (“GMWB”), Actuarial Guideline 39 (“AG39”) is followed. AG39 has two parts, the
    minimum of which is accrued charges to date for the inforce and the other involves an
    asset adequacy test which can produce reserves in addition to the accrued charges.

    Cash Flow Information: Cash and short term investments include cash on hand, demand
    deposits and short term fixed maturity instruments with a maturity of less than one year at
    date of acquisition. Other invested assets include cash loaned through the Company’s
    reciprocal loan program.

    Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the Company’s statutory basis financial statements
    have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 financial statement presentation.

    Separate Accounts: Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company
    represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and
    contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such
    policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or
    negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets and
    liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value and are legally segregated and are not
    subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company.

    Certain other separate accounts relate to experience rated group annuity contracts that
    fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest
    returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is reestablished each year
    based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest
    rate be less than zero. The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at
    book value.

    Reserves related to the Company’s mortality risk associated with these policies are
    included in life and annuity reserves. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed
    minimum death benefits (before reinsurance) that totaled $5.0 and $4.1 at December 31,
    2007 and 2006, respectively. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in
    the accompanying financial statements.

    2. Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

      The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting
    practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Insurance Department. The New York
    Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or
    permitted by the State of New York for determining and reporting the financial condition
    and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under
    the New York Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual
    has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of
    New York. The New York Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit other
    specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

    The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are
    permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the New York Insurance
    Department. As of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company had no such
    permitted accounting practices.

      The Company had loaned securities, which are reflected as invested assets on the balance
    sheets, with a market value of approximately $18.2 and $27.5 at December 31, 2007 and
    2006, respectively.

    Proceeds from sales of investments in bonds and other fixed maturity interest securities
    were $0.6 billion, $0.5 billion and $1.1 billion in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
    Gross gains of $4.1, $3.7, and $14.7 and gross losses of $7.3, $7.3, and $9.4 during 2007,
    2006 and 2005, respectively, were realized on those sales. A portion of the gains and
    losses realized in 2007, 2006, and 2005 has been deferred to future periods in the IMR.

      The Company entered into reverse dollar repurchase transactions to increase its return on
    investments and improve liquidity. Reverse dollar repurchases involve a sale of
    securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold.
    The reverse dollar repurchases are accounted for as short term collateralized financing
    and the repurchase obligation is reported in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets. The
    repurchase obligation totaled $71.7 and $71.1 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
    respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage backed securities
    with a book value of $73.6 and $72.8 and fair value of $72.2 and $70.4 at December 31,
    2007 and 2006, respectively. The securities had a weighted average coupon rate of 5.5%
    with various maturity dates ending in December 2037. The primary risk associated with

    21


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      short term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty may be unable to perform
    under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the
    net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short term investments, which
    was not material at December 31, 2007. The Company believes that the counterparties to
    the reverse dollar repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that counterparty
    risk is minimal.

    The maximum and minimum lending rates for long term mortgage loans during 2007
    were 5.7% and 5.7% . Fire insurance is required on all properties covered by mortgage
    loans and must at least equal the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would
    be permitted by law on the land without the buildings.

    The maximum percentage of any loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan,
    exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, was 49.3% on
    commercial properties. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company held no
    mortgages with interest more than 180 days overdue. No interest was past due as of
    December 31, 2007 and 2006.

    The Company had no impaired mortgage loans for 2007 or 2006.

    There were no encumbrances on real estate at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Credit markets have recently become more turbulent amid concerns about subprime
    mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”). This in turn has resulted in a
    general widening of credit spreads, reduced price transparency, reduced liquidity,
    increased rating agency downgrades and increased volatility across all markets. The
    Company manages its risk exposure to subprime mortgages and CDOs by attempting to
    identify over-credit enhanced transactions that can withstand stronger multiples of loss
    coverage than anticipated by the agencies, utilizing collateral and structural analysis to
    project deal performance. The Company updates its views monthly for deviations
    (positive or negative) from expected performance and takes action as necessary and
    appropriate. For these reasons (initial security selection efforts and ongoing surveillance),
    The Company believes its portfolios are well positioned to perform from an expected loss
    standpoint.

    To date, this market disruption has had a limited impact on the Company. As of
    December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Company’s subprime exposure was $35.6,
    representing 1.7% of total investments and the fair value of its Alt-A exposure was $82.8,
    representing 4.0% of total investments. Alt-A Loans are residential mortgage loans to
    customers who have strong credit profiles but lack some elements such as documentation
    to substantiate income. Subprime lending is the origination of loans to customers with
    weaker credit profiles. The Company does not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A
    whole loan mortgages. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s exposure to subprime
    mortgages was primarily in the form of asset backed securities (“ABS”) collateralized by

    22


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      subprime residential mortgages (“ABS Home Equity”) and CDO positions backed by
    ABS Home Equity; and its exposure to Alt-A mortgages, which was concentrated in
    residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”). The following summarizes the
    Company’s ABS Home Equity and RMBS exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages as
    of December 31, 2007.

    The actual cost, book adjusted carrying value, and fair value of ABS Home Equity
    securities at December 31, 2007 was $38.8, $38.9, and $35.6, respectively. Gross
    unrealized losses related to these ABS Home Equity securities for the year ended
    December 31, 2007 was $3.3. Other-than-temporary impairments recognized on ABS
    Home Equity securities was $0.3 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The actual cost,
    book adjusted carrying value, and fair value of the Alt-A portfolio at December 31, 2007
    was $86.8, $86.5 and $82.8, respectively. Gross unrealized losses related to the Alt-A
    portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3.7. There were no other-than-
    temporary impairments recognized on the Alt-A portfolio for the year ended December
    31, 2007.

    4. Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

      The Company utilizes derivatives such as options, futures and interest rate swaps to
    reduce and manage risks, which include the risk of a change in the value, yield, price,
    cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to, assets,
    liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. Hedge
    accounting practices are followed in accordance with requirements set forth in SSAP No.
    86 for those derivatives that are deemed highly effective. The Company also enters into
    credit default swaps and total return swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of
    permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments.
    Replicated (synthetic) assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the derivative and
    cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The replication practices are in
    accordance with SSAP No. 86.

    The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest
    rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and
    liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
    floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the
    underlying principal amount.

    Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency
    payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal
    amount.

    Derivatives that are designated as being in an effective hedging relationship are reported
    in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. All effective derivatives
    are reported at amortized cost. Effective S&P options are reported at fair value in

    23


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      uniformity with the hedged item. The unrealized gains or losses from the S&P options
    are reported as unrealized gain or loss in surplus.

    Premiums paid for the purchase of interest rate contracts are included in other invested
    assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the
    remaining terms of the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments
    being hedged.

    Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in interest expense or
    income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from
    counterparties are included in other liabilities or other invested assets. Gains or losses
    realized as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts are amortized to
    investment income over the remaining term of the items being hedged to the extent the
    hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they are recognized upon termination.

    Derivatives that are designated as being in an effective hedging relationship are reported
    in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts that
    are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are
    recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are
    otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges.
    Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships
    are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in surplus.

    The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties
    on certain derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate
    nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is
    generally the unrealized gains in such contracts. The Company manages the potential
    credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the
    counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

    the amount which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to
    income (including capital items) before income taxes for the following reasons:

      The amount of federal income taxes incurred that will be available for recoupment in the

    A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized income tax benefits for the years is as
    follows:

        Amount 
       
    Balance at January 1, 2007    $ 0.8 
    Additions for tax positions related to current year    0.1 
    Additions for tax positions related to prior years    0.2 
       
    Balance at December 31, 2007    $ 1.1 
       

      The Company had $1.1 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 that would
    affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

    The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
    benefits in Current federal and foreign income taxes and Federal and foreign income tax
    incurred on the Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company
    had accrued interest of $0.1 as of December 31, 2007.

    The Company is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2002
    through 2005. It is anticipated that the IRS audit of tax years 2002 and 2003 will be
    finalized within the next twelve months. Upon finalization of the IRS exam, it is
    reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $0.1. The
    timing of the payment of the remaining allowance of $1.0 can not be reliably estimated.

    10. Reinsurance

      The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies
    for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent
    that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these
    treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion
    reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire
    insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the retrocessionaire and
    monitors concentrations of credit risk.

      The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the
    reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement.

    The Company has been in dispute with the National Travelers Life Company ("NTL")
    over a cancer block of business that was subject to two Modified Coinsurance
    Agreements ("Agreements") between the parties that ceded 95% of this insurance from
    the Company to NTL. During 2004, this dispute was filed with an independent
    arbitration panel ("Panel").

    During the third quarter of 2006, a settlement was reached with NTL to resolve all
    outstanding issues with the exception of fees and expenses and the agreements were
    commuted as of September 5, 2006. The Company recognized $21.2 in pretax income
    related to this settlement in 2006.

    The amount of reinsurance commuted during 2006 included benefits received of $45.0,
    expense allowance adjustments of $13.0 and premiums of $36.7.

    11. Capital and Surplus

      Under New York insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum
    total capital and surplus of $6.0. Additionally, the amount of dividends which can be
    paid by the Company to its shareholder without prior approval of the Superintendent of
    the State of New York is limited to the greater of the net gain from operations excluding
    realized capital gains or 10% of surplus at December 31 of the preceding year.

    The Company did not receive capital contributions during 2007 or 2006. The Company
    paid ordinary dividends to ReliaStar on a quarterly basis in the amount of $4.7 each for a
    total of $18.7 on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2007. Timely
    notice was given for these dividend payments to the New York Insurance Department.
    The New York Insurance Department does not require notice or approval for ordinary
    dividends.

      Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk Based Capital (“RBC”)
    requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital
    and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based
    on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2007, the Company meets the
    RBC requirements.

    12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

      In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates
    using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
    affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
    flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
    comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
    immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
    amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all non-financial instruments have
    been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities
    under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall
    management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest
    rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under
    insurance contracts.

    The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are
    summarized as follows:

                December 31

    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair
    value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and
    notes thereto:

    Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: The carrying amounts reported in
    the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their
    fair values.

    Bonds and equity securities: The fair values for bonds, preferred stocks and common
    stocks reported herein are based on quoted market prices, where available. For
    securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from
    independent pricing services or, in the case of private placement investments, are
    estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used
    vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall
    within a range between 3.7% and 11.8% over the total portfolio. Fair values
    determined on this basis can differ from values published by the SVO. Fair value as
    determined by the SVO as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $1.7 billion and $1.7
    billion, respectively.

    Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were
    generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are
    discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31
    and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features
    of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is
    available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are
    incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same
    manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased
    risk. All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances, which
    approximate their fair values.

    Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivative financial instruments are
    based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models,
    taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties’ credit
    standing.

    The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

    13. Commitments and Contingencies

      Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the
    Company has entered into agreements to purchase securities of $12.0 and $3.0 at
    December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide
    additional capital contributions of $18.7 and $16.6 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
    respectively, in partnerships reported in other invested assets not on the balance sheets.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      Operating Leases: The Company leases office space under various noncancelable
    operating lease agreements that expire through April 2014. During the years ended
    December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, rent expense totaled $0.1, $0.2 and $0.2,
    respectively.

    At December 31, 2007, the minimum aggregate rental commitments for the upcoming
    five years and thereafter are as follows:

    Year ending     
    December 31    Commitments 

     
        (In Thousands) 
    2008    $ 136 
    2009    117 
    2010    65 
    2011    10 
    2012    10 
    Thereafter    14 

      Certain rental commitments have renewal options extending through the year 2014
    subject to adjustments in the future periods.

    The Company is not involved in any material sale leaseback transactions.

    Legal Proceedings - The Company is involved in threatened or pending
    lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in
    insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes
    include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other
    types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to
    represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the
    outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and
    established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such
    lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s
    operations or financial position.

    Regulatory Matters - As with many financial services companies, the Company and its
    affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state
    and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with
    inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services
    industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full
    cooperation.

    Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters - Federal and
    state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are conducting broad inquiries and
    investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives

    35


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2007
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

      currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales
    incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance;
    sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types
    (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the
    scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The
    Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in
    connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for
    information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the
    Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could
    significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the
    Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING,
    including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business
    practices are appropriate.

    Investment Product Regulatory Issues - Since 2002, there has been increased
    governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance
    products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares;
    directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision;
    arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of
    disclosure; and document retention.

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues,
    ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a
    national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING
    insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify
    any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING
    investment professionals and other ING personnel.

    The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to
    engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund
    products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where
    frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market
    timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the
    independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with
    the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange
    Act of 1934, as amended.

    Action may be taken by regulators with respect to certain ING affiliates before
    investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such
    action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences,
    including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability.
    It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will
    have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S. based operations, including the
    Company.

      ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages
    resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal
    investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory
    agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC.
    Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the
    total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s
    U.S. based operations, including the Company.

    14. Financing Agreements

      The Company maintains a revolving loan agreement with Bank of New York,
    (“BONY"). Under this agreement, the Company can borrow up to $30 from BONY.
    Interest on any borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for

    to the Company for the borrowing. Under this agreement, the Company incurred
    minimal interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
    respectively. Additionally, there were no amounts payable to BONY at December 31,

    agreement, which expires January 31, 2007, the Company and ING AIH can borrow up
    to 5% of the Company’s net admitted assets as of December 31 of the preceding year
    from one another. Interest on any Company borrowing is charged at the rate of ING
    AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period plus 0.15% . Interest on any ING AIH
    borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial
    paper available for purchase with a similar duration. The receivable for these loans are
    reported as an asset in other invested assets. The payable is recorded in borrowed money.

    repaid $290.0 in 2006 and borrowed $530.2 and repaid $530.2 in 2005. These borrowings
    were on a short term basis, at an interest rate that approximated current money market
    rates and excludes borrowings from reverse dollar repurchase transactions. There was no
    interest paid on borrowed money during 2007 and interest paid was immaterial during
    2006 and 2005, respectively.

    The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $30.2; terms of the letters of
    credit provide for automatic renewal for the following year at December 31, unless

    16.      Guaranty Fund Assessments

The Company has estimated this liability to be $0.2 and $0.1 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and has recorded a liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheets.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
    Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
    assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged
    to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include
    consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
    appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
    the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
    audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
    financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
    management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included
    confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the transfer agents.
    We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
    financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of
    New York Separate Account NY-B at December 31, 2007, the results of their operations and changes in
    their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally
    accepted accounting principles.

    Notes to Financial Statements

    1. Organization

      ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B (the “Account”)
    was established by First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York (“First
    Golden”) to support the operations of variable annuity contracts (“Contracts”). The
    Account became a separate account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York
    (“RLNY” or the “Company”) as a result of the merger of First Golden into RLNY
    effective April 1, 2002. RLNY is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING America
    Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the
    State of Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V.,
    a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

    Operations of the Account commenced on May 19, 1997. The Account is registered as a
    unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, as amended. RLNY provides for variable accumulation and
    benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions
    within the Account or the RLNY fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account,
    as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to
    Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business RLNY may
    conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments,
    are obligations of RLNY. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified
    and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of RLNY.

    At December 31, 2007, the Account had, under ING GoldenSelect, ING SmartDesign,
    and Empire PrimElite Contracts, 115 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 18 of which
    invest in independently managed mutual funds and 97 of which invest in mutual fund
    portfolios managed by an affiliate, either Directed Services LLC (“DSL”) or ING
    Investments, LLC (“IIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a
    designated Fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (the “Trusts”). Investment
    Divisions at December 31, 2007 and related Trusts are as follows:

    AIM Variable Insurance Funds:

    2. Significant Accounting Policies

    The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
    generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
    accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those
    estimates.

    85


    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    SEPARATE ACCOUNT NY-B
    Notes to Financial Statements

      Investments

      Investments are made in shares of a Portfolio and are recorded at fair value, determined
    by the net asset value per share of the respective Portfolio. Investment transactions in
    each Portfolio are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and
    capital gains from each Portfolio are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized
    gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Portfolio are determined on a first-in,
    first-out basis. The difference between cost and current market value of investments
    owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation
    of investments.

      Federal Income Taxes

      Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of
    RLNY, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.
    Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are
    excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of RLNY.

      Contractowner Reserves

      Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of
    the Contracts. The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the
    Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the contractowners’ aggregate
    account values of the contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent
    that benefits to be paid to the contractowners exceed their account values, RLNY will
    contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated
    exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to RLNY.

    All Contracts in the Account are currently in the accumulation period.

      Changes from Principal Transactions

      Included in Changes from Principal Transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net
    Assets are items which relate to contractowner activity, including deposits, surrenders and
    withdrawals, benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the
    fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from)
    RLNY related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full
    responsibility for which is assumed by RLNY). Any net unsettled transactions as of the
    reporting date are included in Payable to related parties on the Statements of Assets and
    Liabilities.

    3.      New Accounting Pronouncements
     
      Fair Value Measurements
     
      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
     
      Under FAS No. 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, FAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. FAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data.
     
      The provisions of FAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of adoption of FAS No. 157 on the Account.
     
    4.      Charges and Fees
     
      Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover RLNY’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:
     
      Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
     
      RLNY assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 1.85% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Contracts.
     
      Asset Based Administrative Charges
     
      A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual rate of 0.15% of assets attributable to the Contracts.

    RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
    SEPARATE ACCOUNT NY-B
    Notes to Financial Statements

      Contract Maintenance Charges

      An annual Contract maintenance fee of $30 may be deducted from the accumulation
    value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the
    Contracts.

      Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

      A contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed as a percentage of
    each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is
    taken during the seven-year period from the date a premium payment is received, as
    specified in the Contracts. For DVA Plus Contracts, the Surrender Charge is imposed at
    a rate of 7% during the first year of purchase, declining to 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1%
    in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh years, respectively. For Empire VA
    Contracts, the Surrender Charge is imposed at a rate of 6% during the first year of
    purchase, declining to 5% and 4% in the second and third years, respectively. For
    SmartDesign VA Contracts, the Surrender Charge is imposed at a rate of 6% in the year
    of purchase through the fourth year, declining to 5%, 4%, and 3% in the fifth, sixth, and
    seventh years, respectively. For Simplicity VA Contracts, the Surrender Charge is
    imposed at a rate of 6% in the year of purchase through the second year, declining to 5%,
    4%, and 3% in the third, fourth, and fifth years, respectively.

      Transfer Charges

    A transfer charge of up to $25 may be imposed on each transfer between Divisions in
    excess of twelve in any one calendar year.

      Premium Taxes

      For certain Contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the
    accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction depends
    on the contractowner’s state of residence and currently ranges up to 3.5% of premiums.

      Other Contract Charges

      For certain Contracts, an additional annual charge of 0.50% is deducted daily from the
    accumulation value for amounts invested in the ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio Funds. In
    addition, an annual charge of up to 0.60% is deducted daily from the accumulation value
    for contractowners who select the Optional Asset-Backed Premium Credit feature.

    A      The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the Division, excluding capital gains distributions divided by the average net assets. The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Division invests.
     
    B      The Expense Ratio considers only the expenses borne directly by the Account and is equal to the mortality and expense, administrative and other charges, as defined in Note 4. Certain items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.
     
    C      Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Contract presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

    ITEM 26:    PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE 
        DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT 

    Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement
    on Form N-6 for Security Life Separate Account L1 of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (File
    No. 333-147534), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2008.

    ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

    As of March 31, 2008 there are 2,907 qualified contract owners and 1,838 non-qualified contract owners.

    ITEM 28: INDEMNIFICATION

    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RLNY”) shall indemnify (including therein the
    prepayment of expenses) any person who is or was a director, officer or employee, or who is or was
    serving at the request of RLNY as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership,
    joint venture, trust or other enterprise for expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and


    amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him with respect to any threatened,
    pending or completed action, suit or proceedings against him by reason of the fact that he is or was such a
    director, officer or employee to the extent and in the manner permitted by law.

    RLNY may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other person who is or was serving RLNY
    in any capacity. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to determine who may be
    indemnified under this paragraph and to what extent (not to exceed the extent provided in the above
    paragraph) any such person may be indemnified.

    A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director
    of the corporation. ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability umbrella
    insurance policy issued by an international insurer. The policy covers ING America Insurance Holdings,
    Inc. and any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling interest of 50%
    or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor. Additionally, the
    parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains an excess
    umbrella cover with limits in excess of $125,000,000. The policy provides for the following types of
    coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices,
    fiduciary and fidelity.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be
    permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise,
    the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the Depositor is
    against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In
    the event that a claim of such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the
    Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful
    defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or
    controlling person and the SEC is still of the same opinion, the Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the
    opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
    appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public
    policy as expressed by the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
    issue.

    ITEM 29: PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

    (a) At present, Directed Services LLC, the Registrant’s Distributor, serves as principal underwriter
    for all contracts issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“ING USA”). Directed
    Services LLC is the principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B, Separate Account
    EQ of ING USA, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B, Alger
    Separate Account A of ING USA and the ING Investors Trust.

    (b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal officers and directors
    of Directed Services LLC, the Registrant's Distributor. The principal business address for each
    officer and director following is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380-1478, unless
    otherwise noted.

    [ING STATIONERY]

    April 10, 2008

    Members of the Board of Directors
    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York
    1475 Dunwoody Drive
    West Chester, PA 19380-1478

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    In my capacity as Counsel for ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (the “Company”), I have
    examined the Registration Statement on Form N-4 in connection with the registration under the Securities
    Act of 1933, as amended to the date hereof, of an indefinite number of units of interest in Separate
    Account NY-B of the Company (the “Account”). I am familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed
    to be taken in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of units.

    Based upon my examination and upon my knowledge of the corporate activities relating to the Account, it
    is my opinion that:

    (1)    The Company was organized in accordance with the laws of the State of New York 
        and is a duly authorized stock life insurance company under the laws of New York and 
        the laws of those states in which the Company is admitted to do business; 
     
    (2)    The Account is a validly established separate investment account of the Company; 
     
    (3)    Under New York law, the portion of the assets to be held in the Account equals the 
        reserve and other liabilities for variable benefits under variable annuity contracts to be 
        issued by the Account, and such assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of 
        any other business the Company conducts; 
     
    (4)    The units and the variable annuity contracts will, when issued and sold in the manner 
        described in the registration statement, be legal and binding obligations of the 
        Company and will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. 

    I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement.

    Sincerely,

    /s/ John S. Kreighbaum
