Plus and ING Joint LifePay Plus riders with the following (with all references to the charges in the prospectus

  ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider4:

  Maximum Annual Charge    Current Annual Charge 
      (Charge Deducted Quarterly) 
  2.00% of the ING LifePay Plus Base    0.70% of the ING LifePay Plus Base 

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 is 
         0.60% if this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009. 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.

         premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months, if this rider is added after contract issue. The current 
         annual charge is 0.80% if this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009. 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

         prospectus. 

152556    Page 2 of 9 

Under “Charges and Fees – Charges Deducted from the Subaccounts – Optional Rider Charges,” please replace the
paragraphs, as well as the tables of charges, in their entirety with the following:

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%    0.70% 

  The current annual charge is 0.60% if you purchased this rider before February 2, 2009. The charge is a
percentage of the ING LifePay Plus Base, which we deduct in arrears on each quarterly anniversary date.
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
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, please see “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit
(“ING LifePay Plus”) Rider.”

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%    0.90% 

  The current annual charge is 0.80% if you purchased this rider before February 2, 2009. The charge is a
percentage of the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base, which we deduct in arrears on each quarterly anniversary
date. 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 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, please see “Living Benefit Riders - ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed
Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider.”

Under “Living Benefit Riders – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”) – Determining the
MGIB Annuity Income,” please replace “(b) Calculation of MGIB Ratchet Benefit Base” in its entirety with the
following:

(b)    Calculation of MGIB Ratchet Benefit 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; 

152556    Page 3 of 9 

 
·     on each contract anniversary 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), and withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds or 
        Special Funds, and transfers. 
 
        For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before February 2, 2009, the 
        MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered and Special Funds is recalculated on each 
        “quarterly anniversary date” prior to attainment of age 90. 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 the month. 
 
        Whenever the date falls on a weekend or holiday, we will use the value as of the 
        subsequent business day. 
 
·     at other times, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is the 
     MGIB Ratchet Base from the prior contract anniversary (quarterly anniversary date 
     for Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before February 2, 2009), adjusted for 
     subsequent eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), and 
     withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds or Special Funds, and transfers. 
 
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). 

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”)
Rider – How the ING LifePay Plus Rider Works,” please replace the sixth, seventh and eighth paragraphs in their
entirety with the following:

  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 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 the annual “ratchet.” 

  If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the ING LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each
quarterly contract anniversary (once each quarter of a contract year from the contract date). This is referred
to as a quarterly “ratchet.”

152556    Page 4 of 9 

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 6%, 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.) If this rider was purchased before 
    February 2, 2009, the annual step-up is 7%. 

  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 date, SO LONG AS
the Annuitant is at least age 59 ½.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint
LifePay Plus”) Rider – How the ING Joint LifePay Plus Rider Works,” please replace the sixth, seventh and eighth
paragraphs in their entirety with the following:

  During the Growth Phase, the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums

    preceding the calculation); and 
·    The ING Joint LifePay Plus Base on the previous contract anniversary, increased by 6%, 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.) If this rider was purchased

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”)
Rider – How the ING LifePay Plus Rider Works,” please replace the last paragraph in its entirety with the
following:

  Currently, any additional premiums paid (excluding any applicable premium credits) during the
Withdrawal Phase are eligible premiums for purposes of determining the ING LifePay Plus Base and the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal. If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, any additional
premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums, but do increase the Contract value

152556    Page 5 of 9 

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.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint
LifePay Plus”) Rider – How the ING Joint LifePay Plus Rider Works,” please replace the last paragraph in its
entirety with the following:

Currently, any additional premiums paid (excluding any applicable premium credits) during the Withdrawal Phase
are eligible premiums for purposes of determining the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual
Withdrawal. If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, any additional premiums paid during the
Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums, but 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.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”)
Rider – Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status – Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” please
replace the first paragraph, as well as the table and its footnote, in their entirety with the following:

  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 
0-64*    4%* 
65-75    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.” 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.

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:

    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.” 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

152556    Page 6 of 9 

premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months), if greater, and the Maximum Annual
Withdrawal will be recalculated.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint
LifePay Plus”) Rider – Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status – Determination of the Maximum Annual
Withdrawal,” please replace the first paragraph, as well as the table and its footnote, in their entirety with the
following:

  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 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 youngest
active spouse on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:

Youngest Active    Maximum Annual 
Spouse’s Age    Withdrawal Percentage 
0-64*    4%* 
65-75    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 4% 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.

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:

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 annuitant
reaches age 59-1/2, 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 annuitant reaches age 59 ½, 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.

  Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”)
Rider – Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status – ING LifePay Plus Reset,” please replace both paragraphs in their
entirety with the following:

  ING LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each 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

152556    Page 7 of 9 

  Withdrawal will be available for withdrawal immediately. This reset ONLY occurs when the rider is in
Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, and is automatic.

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the ING LifePay Plus Base and Maximum Annual
Withdrawal is reset on each quarterly contract anniversary.

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 annually (or quarterly, as applicable), and the Maximum
Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated; no further resets will be available.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint
LifePay Plus”) Rider – Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status – ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset,” please replace both
paragraphs in their entirety with the following:

  ING Joint LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each 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.

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the ING Joint LifePay Plus Base and Maximum
Annual Withdrawal is reset on each quarterly contract anniversary.

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 annually (or quarterly, as applicable), and the Maximum
Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated; no further resets will be available.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – for both ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING
LifePay Plus”) Rider and ING Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint LifePay
Plus”) Rider – Investment Option Restrictions,” please replace the introductory paragraph, as well as the paragraph
pertaining to the list of Accepted Funds, in their entirety with the following:

  Investment Option Restrictions. While this 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 a specified percentage of such Contract value in the Fixed
Allocation Funds, which percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date:

Rider Purchase Date    Fixed Allocation Fund Percentage 
Currently    30% 
Before February 2, 2009    20% 

  See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below for more information. We have these
investment option restrictions to lessen the likelihood we would have to make payments under this rider.
We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract. The rider will not be
issued until your Contract value is allocated in accordance with these investment option restrictions. The
timing of when and how we apply these investment option restrictions is discussed further below.

152556    Page 8 of 9 

  Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:

  No rebalancing is necessary when Contract value is allocated entirely to Accepted Funds. 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.

Under “Living Benefit Riders – for both ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING

first sentence of the first paragraph with the following:

  Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is

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.
