1.  Important Information Regarding Upcoming Fund Reorganizations 
 
On January 12, 2012, the Board of Trustees of ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the 
following “Merging Portfolios” with and into the following “Surviving Portfolios”: 

 

Merging Portfolios  Surviving Portfolios 
ING American Funds Growth Portfolio  ING Large Cap Growth Portfolio (Class ADV) 
ING Artio Foreign Portfolio (Class S)  ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (Class S) 

 

Subject to shareholder approval, each reorganization is expected to take place on or about July 21, 2012
(the “Reorganization Date”), resulting in a shareholder of a given Merging Portfolio becoming a
shareholder of the corresponding Surviving Portfolio. Each shareholder will thereafter hold shares of the
Surviving Portfolio having equal aggregate value as shares of the Merging Portfolio, and the Merging
Portfolios will no longer be available under the contract.

Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may reallocate your contract value in the Merging Portfolio to another
investment portfolio currently available under the contract. This reallocation will neither count as a transfer
for purposes of our Excessive Trading Policy nor be subject to a transfer charge under the contract.
Contract value remaining in the Merging Portfolio on the Reorganization Date will be placed in the
Surviving Portfolio. You may provide alternative instructions by calling our Customer Service Center at
the number above.

As of the effective date noted above, any references in the prospectus to the Merging Portfolios as being
available under the contract are deleted.

2. Important Information Regarding Upcoming Changes to the ING American Funds Bond
Portfolio

Effective on or about July 21, 2012, the ING American Funds Bond Portfolio will change its name,
subadviser and investment objective as follows:

New Fund Name: ING Bond Portfolio  New Investment Objective: Seeks to provide maximum total 
Investment Adviser: ING Investments, LLC  return through income and capital appreciation. 
New Investment Subadviser: ING Investment Management   
Co. LLC   

 

As of July 21, 2012, all references to the ING American Funds Bond Portfolio are revised accordingly.


ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York 
Separate Account NY-B of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York 
Deferred Combination Variable and Fixed Annuity Prospectus 
ING EMPIRE TRADITIONS VARIABLE ANNUITY 

 

April 30, 2012 

 

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 was 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”). As of March 15, 2010, we are no longer offering this Contract for sale to new purchasers.

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 30, 2012, 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.

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.

The investment portfolios are listed on the next page.

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 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. 
 
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 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 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.

Separate Account Annual Charge Tables 

 

MAXIMUM CHARGES  Option  Option  Option

Mortality & Expense Risk Charge  1.10%  1.30%  1.45%

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.

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  0.52%  2.00 % 
expenses):     

 

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:

1) If you surrender or annuitize* your contract at the end of the applicable time period: 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$1,211  $2,468  $3,670  $6,647 
2) If you do not surrender your contract:     
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$611  $1,868  $3,170  $6,647 

 

*  Surrender charges may apply if you choose to annuitize your Contract within the first year, and under certain 
  circumstances, within the first seven contract years. 

 

Compensation is paid for the sale of the Contracts. For information about this compensation, see “Other Contract Provisions
Selling the Contract.”

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. 
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.

The statements of assets and liabilities, the statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the related
notes to financial statements for Separate Account NY-B and the statutory basis financial statements and the related notes to
financial statements for ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York 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.

Unlike Separate Account NY-B, the general account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the Company’s creditors.

Note: Other variable annuity contracts 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.”

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
 
ReliaStar of NY is a New York stock life insurance company originally incorporated on June 11, 1917 under the name The 
Morris Plan Insurance Society. ReliaStar of NY is authorized to transact business in all states, the District of Columbia, the 
Dominican Republic and the Cayman Islands and is principally engaged in the business of providing individual life insurance 
and annuities, employee benefit products and services, retirement plans, and life and health reinsurance. Until October 1, 2003, 
ReliaStar of NY was a wholly owned subsidiary of Security-Connecticut Life Insurance Company (“Security-Connecticut”). 
Effective October 1, 2003, Security-Connecticut 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. 
 
Directed Services LLC, the distributor of the Contracts and the investment manager of the ING Investors Trust, is also a wholly 
owned indirect subsidiary of ING. ING also indirectly owns ING Investments, LLC and ING Investment Management 
Co.LLC, portfolio managers of the ING Investors Trust and the investment managers of the ING Variable Insurance Trust, 
ING Variable Products Trust and ING Variable Product Portfolios, respectively. 
 
As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance 
businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance and investment management 
operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for implementing the separation 
including initial public offerings, sales or combinations thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that ING and its U.S. 
insurance affiliates, including the Company, are preparing for a base case of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company 
and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management affiliates. 
 
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 periodically receive 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 Company or the financial services industry. These currently 
include regulatory scrutiny of whether and to what extent insurance companies are using the United States Social Security 
Administration’s Death Master File (“SSDMF”) to proactively ascertain whether customers have deceased and to pay claims 
even where no claim for benefits has been made. Along these lines, the New York Department of Financial Services has 
directed the Company to use information available on the SSDMF to identify any death claim that may be due under life 
insurance policies, annuity contracts or retained asset accounts that have not been previously reported through historical claim 
reporting processes, implement procedures to locate beneficiaries, make prompt payments as necessary, and to report to the 
New York Department of Financial Services the results of using the data. In addition, a majority of states are conducting an 
audit of the Company’s compliance with unclaimed property laws. The Company also has been reviewing whether benefits are 
owed and whether reserves are adequate in instances where an insured appears to have died, but no claim for benefits has been 
made. Some of the investigations, audits, examinations, and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. 
The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, 
but not limited to, additional payments to beneficiaries, settlement payments, penalties, fines, additional escheatment of funds 
deemed abandoned under state laws, changes to the Company’s procedures for the identification and escheatment of 
abandoned property, and other financial liability. While it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of any such action, or 
the internal and external investigations, examinations, reviews and inquiries, management does not believe that they will have a

material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate
fully in these matters.
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-Feeder” or “fund of funds.” Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure 
(such as the American Funds) or fund of funds structure (such as the Retirement 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 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 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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

9



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:

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, less any 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.

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. When you are receiving systematic withdrawals, any combination of regular withdrawals and systematic withdrawals
taken will be included in determining the amount of the excess withdrawals. Systematic withdrawals are periodic scheduled
withdrawals of a fixed amount or an amount based upon a 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

11



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.

Overnight Charge. You may choose to have a $20 overnight charge deducted from the net amount of a withdrawal you
would like sent to you by overnight delivery service.

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.

Option Package I  Option Package II  Option Package III 
  Annual    Annual    Annual 
  Charge    Charge    Charge 
Annual  Expressed as  Annual  Expressed as  Annual  Expressed as 
Charge  Daily Rate  Charge  Daily Rate  Charge  Daily Rate 
1.10%  0.0030%  1.30%  0.0036%  1.45%  0.0040% 

 

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

12



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%  0.70% 

 

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 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.”

Please Note: The above information pertains to the form of the ING LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from May
1, 2009 until March 15, 2010. If you purchased a prior version of the ING LifePay Plus rider, please see Appendix H for more
information.

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% 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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 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.”

Please Note: The above information pertains to the form of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from
May 1, 2009 until March 15, 2010. If you purchased a prior version of the ING LifePay Plus rider, please see Appendix H for
more information.

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 may 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. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available through this contract before making
a decision to invest.

Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning funds managed by Directed Services LLC, ING Investments, LLC or another
company affiliate, generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the company. Affiliated funds may also be subadvised by a
company affiliate or by an unaffiliated third party. Assets allocated to unaffiliated funds, meaning funds managed by an
unaffiliated third party, generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue for the company. 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.

Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds.

The revenue received by the company from may be deducted from fund assets and may include:

·  A share of the management fee; 
·  Service fees; 
·  For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1; 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. 

 

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 may be retained by the
affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. The Company may also receive additional

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

14



compensation in the form of intercompany payments from an affiliated fund’s investment advisor or the investment advisor’s
parent in order to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue
received from affiliated funds provide the company with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds through the contract
rather than unaffiliated funds.

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.

The revenue received by the company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds may be deducted from fund assets and may
include:

· Service fees; 
· For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees; and 
· 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’s prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the contract. 

 

If the unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the contract that made payments to us were individually ranked
according to the total amount they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2012, in connection with the registered annuity
contracts issued by the company, that ranking would be as follows:

· BlackRock Variable Series Funds, Inc.

If the revenues received from the affiliated funds were taken into account when ranking the funds according to the total dollar
amount they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2012, the affiliated funds 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 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 fund and its corresponding underlying fund or
funds.

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. See also “Other
Contract Provisions – Selling the Contract.”

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 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. On and after
May 1, 2009, a joint annuitant may also be designated. The annuitant’s age determines when the income phase must begin and
the amount of the income phase payments to be paid. In the case of a non-natural owner and joint annuitants, the oldest
annuitant’s age is used. 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

16



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)).

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 we receive 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

We are no longer offering the Contract for sale to new purchasers.

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 rider. Otherwise, the maximum issue age is

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

17



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.

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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

18



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.

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.

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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

19



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

Anti-Money Laundering
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an
anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current anti-money
laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures
and standards that serve to assure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums and loan repayments
are not derived from improper sources.

Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide
sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information
databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, cashier's checks,
bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer's checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or
loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000.00, 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 the payment and
not issuing the Contract.

Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require
us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required
to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators.

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable laws or
regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

20



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

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. 
 
  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. The MGAB rider is no longer available for purchase. To purchase the MGAB rider, you must have been age
80 or younger on the rider date. The waiting period must end at or before your annuity start date. The MGAB rider must have
been 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 could, in its discretion allow purchase of this
rider beyond such date.

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. The MGIB rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts.
Previously, you must have been 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 to purchase the MGIB rider. Before April 28, 2008, the maximum age was 79. Some broker dealers
may limit availability of the rider to younger ages. The MGIB rider must have been purchased on the contract date.
Previously, the Company in its discretion could allow the purchase of this rider after the contract date. There is a ten-year
waiting period before you can annuitize under the MGIB rider. If you purchased this rider prior to August 21, 2006, the
features and benefits of your rider may differ from those described below, please refer to your contract for more details.

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).

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

25



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 April 30, 2007. For more information about 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 6%. 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 $17,908 on the MGIB Date, 
    the result of the $10,000 initial premium multiplied by the 6% MGIB Rate annually for the 10-year period 
    between the issue date and the MGIB Date. 
 
    For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before May 1, 2009, the MGIB Rate is 7%. 
 
    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 6% (7% for Contracts with the MGIB rider 
    purchased before May 1, 2009). 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

26



  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. 
 
  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 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 contract anniversary, 
      adjusted for any new eligible premiums (including any related premium credits), withdrawals 
      attributable to Covered Funds or Special Funds, and transfers. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

27



  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), 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).

  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.

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 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.

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 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 6% per year (7% for Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before May 1, 2009). 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 
· 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; 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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.

Important Note: The below information pertains to the ING LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from 
January 28, 2008 through March 15, 2010. Please see Appendix H if you purchased ING LifePay, the prior form of 
this rider. 

 

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 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.

The ING LifePay Plus rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts.
Previously, Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 were eligible for the ING LifePay Plus rider, subject to the
conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have had a living benefit
rider. Or if your Contract met the above eligibility date and had the ING LifePay rider, you could 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 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 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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

31



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 59½ 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 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 59½ 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 contract anniversary, the ING LifePay Plus Base is
recalculated as the greater of:

· The current ING LifePay Plus Base; or

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

32



· 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.”

Also, on each of the first ten contract anniversaries ONLY after the Annuitant has reached age 59½, 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 
· During the Growth Phase, 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 effective date, SO LONG AS the Annuitant is at least age 59½.

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 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 59½.

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 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 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 59½. 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 59½, 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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 – 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 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 59½. 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 
0-64*  4%* 
65-75  5% 
76-80  6% 
81+  7% 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

34



  *If the Withdrawal Phase begins before the quarterly contract anniversary on or after the annuitant reaches age
59½, 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 59½, 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 59½,
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 59½, 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

35



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 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 F, 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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

36



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 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 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.

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the ING LifePay Plus Base and Maximum Annul 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, and the Maximum
Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated; no further resets will be available.

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 
On or after February 2, 2009  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 restrictions is discussed further below.

Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:   
 
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund  ING Retirement Conservative Portfolio 
ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Growth Portfolio 
ING American Funds World Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio 
ING Invesco Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio 
ING Liquid Assets Portfolio  ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio 
ING MFS Total Return Portfolio  Fixed Interest Allocation 
ING Oppenheimer Active Allocation Portfolio   

 

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the following are additional Accepted Funds: 
 
ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio 
ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index Portfolio 
 
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. 
 
Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: 

 

ING American Funds Bond Portfolio  ING PIMCO Total Return Bond Portfolio 
ING BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio  ING U.S. Bond Index Portfolio 
ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio   

 

  You may allocate your contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING
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
the specified percentage 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 the specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation
Funds. The specified percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date. 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

38



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 59½. 

 

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 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.

Important Note: The Below information pertains to the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale 
from January 28, 2008 through March 15, 2010. Please see Appendix H if you purchased ING Joint LifePay, the prior 
form of this rider. 

 

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 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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

40



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.

The ING Joint LifePay Plus rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts.
Previously, Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004 were 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 had a living benefit
rider. Or if your Contract met the above eligibility date and had the ING Joint LifePay rider, you could 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 may 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; 
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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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 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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

42



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 premium credit available 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 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 the annual “ratchet.” 

 

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the ING Joint 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.”

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 
·      During the Growth Phase, 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 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 added
(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 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 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.

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

43



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 – 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 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:

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 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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. 
 
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 F, 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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

46



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.

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 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, and the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also not be recalculated; no further resets will be available.

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 
On or After February 2, 2009  30% 
Before February 2, 2009  20% 

 

See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. 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 restrictions is discussed further below.

Accepted Funds. Currently, the Accepted Funds are:   
 
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund  ING Retirement Conservative Portfolio 
ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Growth Portfolio 
ING American Funds World Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio 
ING Invesco Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio 
ING Liquid Assets Portfolio  ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio 
ING MFS Total Return Portfolio  Fixed Interest Allocation 
ING Oppenheimer Active Allocation Portfolio   

 

If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the following are additional Accepted Funds: 
 
ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio 
ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index Portfolio 
 
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. 
 
Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are: 

 

ING American Funds Bond Portfolio  ING PIMCO Total Return Bond Portfolio 
ING BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio  ING U.S. Bond Index Portfolio 
ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio   

 

You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING Intermediate 
Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

48



  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 the
specified percentage 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 the specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. The
specified percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date. 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:

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 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.

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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

49



  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. 

 

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:

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 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 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.

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

WITHDRAWALS 
 
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 Plus or ING Joint LifePay Plus 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.

Please be aware that the benefit we pay under certain optional benefit riders may be reduced by any withdrawals you take while
the optional rider is in effect. Withdrawals may be subject to taxation and tax penalties. 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 the date on which you would like your systematic withdrawals to start. This date must be at least 30 days after the
Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the month. Subject to these rules, if you have not indicated the date, your
systematic withdrawals will occur on the next business day after your Contract Date (or the monthly or quarterly anniversary
thereof) for your desired frequency.

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% 

 

A fixed dollar systematic withdrawal of less than $100 on any withdrawal date will terminate your systematic withdrawal. If
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.

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 contact you and seek alternative instructions. Unless you provide alternative
instructions, 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

51



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 choose the frequency of your IRA withdrawals (monthly, quarterly or annually) and the start date. This date must be at
least 30 days after the Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the month. Subject to these rules, if you have not
indicated the date, your IRA withdrawals will occur on the next business day after your Contract Date for your desired
frequency.

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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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.

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 (DCA) program through either the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio or a
Fixed Interest Allocation, subject to availability, starting 30 days after the Contract Date. These investment options serve as
the source accounts from which we will, on a monthly basis, automatically transfer a set dollar amount of money to the
subaccounts you specify. There is no additional charge for dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging is not available with
automatic rebalancing and may be subject to limited availability with systematic withdrawals.

We also may offer DCA Fixed Interest Allocations for durations of 6 months and 1 year, subject to availability, exclusively for
use with the dollar cost averaging program. 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 the dollar cost averaging program.

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.

Dollar cost averaging requires a minimum monthly transfer amount of $100. We will transfer all your money allocated to that
source account into the subaccount(s) you specify in equal payments over the relevant duration. The last payment will include
earnings accrued over the duration. 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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

55



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 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 generally be made into an interest bearing account, backed 
by our general account. This account is not FDIC insured and can be accessed by the beneficiary through a draftbook feature. 
The beneficiary may access death benefit proceeds at any time without penalty. Interest credited under this account may be 
less than under other settlement options, and the Company seeks to make a profit on these accounts. We will generally 
distribute 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.” At the time of death benefit election, the beneficiary may elect to 
receive the death benefit proceeds directly by check rather than through the draftbook feature of the interest bearing account by 
notifying our Customer Service Center. 
 
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

      (4)  the Annual Ratchet  (4)  the Annual Ratchet 
        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.

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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

57



(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.

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

58



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 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.

Effect of ING LifePay Plus and ING Joint LifePay Plus Riders on Death Benefit
Please see “ING LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING LifePay Plus”) Rider – Death of Owner or
Annuitant” for information about the effect of the ING LifePay Plus rider on the death benefit under your Contract and a
description of the impact of the owner’s or annuitant’s death on the ING LifePay Plus rider. Please see “ING Joint LifePay Plus
Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“ING Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider – Death of Owner or Annuitant” for information
about the effect of the ING Joint LifePay Plus rider on the death benefit under your Contract and a description of the impact of
the owner’s or annuitant’s death on the ING Joint 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.

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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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; 
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.”

applicable surrender charge. Lump-sum payments will be sent within seven calendar days after we receive the request 
for payment in good order at our Customer Service Center. 

 

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS 
 
Reports to Contract Owners 
We confirm purchase, transfer and withdrawal transactions usually within 5 business days of processing. We may also 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. You have 30 days to notify our 
Customer Service Center of any errors or discrepancies. We will notify you when any shareholder reports of the investment 
portfolios in which Separate Account NY-B invests are available. We will also send 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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

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.

Special Arrangements
We may reduce or waive any Contract, rider, or benefit fees or charges for certain group or sponsored arrangements, under
special programs, and for certain employees, agents, and related persons of our parent corporation and its affiliates. We reduce
or waive these items based on expected economies, and the variations are based on differences in costs or services.

Selling the Contract
Our affiliate, Directed Services LLC, 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380 is the principal underwriter
and distributor of the Contract, as well as of contracts issued by our affiliates, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company
and ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Directed Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered
with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA.

Directed Services LLC does not retain any commissions or compensation that we pay to it 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, which representatives we refer to as selling
firms. Selling firms are also registered with the SEC and are FINRA member firms.

The following selling firm is affiliated with the Company and has entered into a selling agreement with Directed
Services LLC for the sale of our variable annuity contracts:

  • ING Financial Partners, 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 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. 

 

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.

The following is a list of the top 25 selling firms that, during 2011, received the most compensation, in the aggregate, from us
in connection with the sale of registered annuity contracts issued by us, ranked by total dollars received:

1.  LPL Financial Corporation  14.  First Allied Securities Inc. 
2.  Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC.  15.  Woodbury Financial Services Inc.

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.”

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 that 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 that, 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. Federal income tax 
treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading it: 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

66



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 some but not all applicable federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift 
tax implications, state and local taxes, or any other tax provisions; and 
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.

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 to 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.

Effective January 1, 2009, except in the case of a rollover contribution as permitted under the Tax Code or as a result of an
intra-plan exchange or plan-to-plan transfer described under the Final Regulations, contributions to a section 403(b) tax
sheltered annuity contract may only be made by the Employer sponsoring the Plan under which the assets in your contract are
covered subject to the applicable Treasury Regulations and only if the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees to be an approved
provider.

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

Premiums
You may not deduct the amount of your premiums to a non-qualified contract.

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
Internal Revenue Service (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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

67



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. When such
requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review such distribution provisions and modify them if
necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements.

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 year is currently
taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract is any increase in 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 premiums 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 investment in the contract (cost basis).

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:

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

68



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.” 

 

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. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of partial withdrawals or surrenders
from either the original contract or the new contract during the 180 day period beginning on the date of the
partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the partial
withdrawal or surrender of the original contract will be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of gain
in the original contract and, if the partial exchange occurred prior to you reaching age 59½, may be subject to an additional
10% tax penalty. 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 or subsequent distribution within 180 days of a partial 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.

On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which included language that
permits the partial annuitization of non-qualified annuities, effective for amounts received in taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2010. The provision applies an exclusion ratio to any amount received as an annuity under a portion of an
annuity provided that the annuity payments are made for a period of 10 years or more or for life.
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. 

 

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 die on September 1, 2012, your entire balance must be distributed by
August 31, 2017. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments may be made over one of the
following timeframes:

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

 

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 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 to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the
payment.

Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made to
residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding. In
some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. If you need more information
concerning a particular state or any required forms, please contact our Customer Service Center.

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, and we may require additional documentation
prior to processing any requested transaction.

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 as
well as your particular facts and circumstances. 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.

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.

Section 403(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The contracts are no longer available for purchase as Tax Code section
403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. Existing contracts issued as Tax Code section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities will continue to be
maintained as such under the applicable rules and regulations.

The Treasury Department has issued regulations which generally take effect on January 1, 2009. Existing contracts will be
modified as necessary to comply with these regulations where allowed, or where required by law in order to maintain their
status as section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. The final regulations include: (a) the ability to terminate a 403(b) plan, which
would entitle a participant to a distribution; (b) the revocation of IRS Revenue Ruling 90-24, and the resulting increase in

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

71



  restrictions on a participant’s right to transfer his or her 403(b) accounts; and (3) the imposition of withdrawal restrictions on
non-salary reduction contribution amounts, as well as other changes.

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. Distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one of the
following is true:

The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is directly transferred 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 directly transferred 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 – 85618

72



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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

73

The distribution is directly transferred 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 59½; 
You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code; 
You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary; 
The distribution amount is directly transferred 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; 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 59½, 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.

403(b) Plans. Distributions from your contract are subject to the requirements of Code Section 403(b), the Treasury
Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan under which the assets in your contract are covered. In accordance with Code Section
403(b) and the Treasury Regulations, we have no responsibility or obligation to make any distribution (including distributions
due to loans, annuity payouts, qualified domestic relations orders, hardship withdrawals and systematic distributions options)
from your contract until we have received instructions or information from your Employer and/or its designee or, if permitted
under Code Section 403(b) and the Treasury Regulations, you in a form acceptable to us and necessary for us to administer
your contract in accordance with Code Section 403(b) the Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan.

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 directly transferred 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 public 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 403(b) plan,
unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above also apply to a distribution from a
403(b) plan, plus in the event you have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age 55, or 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. 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 penalty taxes in other circumstances.

Distribution of amounts restricted under Tax Code section 403(b)(11) may only occur upon your death, attainment of age 59½,
severance from employment, disability or financial hardship. Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions
under the Tax Code and the regulations.

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and IRAs only).

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 
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 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 during your lifetime. 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), 403(b), 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

74



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
die on September 1, 2012, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31, 2017.
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), 403(a) and 403(b). 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.

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, and we may require
additional documentation prior to processing any requested distribution.

Assignment and Other Transfers

IRAS and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under these 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.

Section 403(b) Plans. Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your beneficial interest in the
contract is assigned or transferred to persons other than:

A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments; 
An alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code section 414(p); or 
The Company as collateral for a loan. 

 

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 or ING 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

75



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 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.

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 other than an incidental death benefit.
In addition, 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.

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.

Same-Sex Marriages
Pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex marriages currently are not recognized for
purposes of federal law. Therefore, the favorable income-deferral options afforded by federal tax law to an opposite-sex spouse
under Code sections 72(s) and 401(a)(9) are currently NOT available to a same-sex spouse. Same-sex spouses who own or are
considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse should consult a qualified tax
adviser. In certain states, to the extent that an annuity contract or certificate offers to spouses other rights or benefits that are
not affected by DOMA, same-sex spouses remain entitled to such rights or benefits to the same extent as any Contract Owner’s
spouse.

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, plus any Fixed Interest Allocation. 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.
If you received a summary prospectus for any of the funds available through your contract, you may also obtain a full
prospectus and other fund information free of charge by either accessing the internet address, calling the telephone number or
sending an email request to the contact information shown on the front of the fund's summary prospectus.

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 “ fund of funds.” Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure
(such as the American Funds) or fund of funds structure (such as the Retirement 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.

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 except the rider charge. 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 premium) accumulating at the MGIB Rate of 6% until
the MGIB Date (7% for Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before May 1, 2009). The MGIB Rate is an annual effective
rate. The MGIB Rate for any allocations to the designated Special Fund 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
business day.

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 Rollup    MGIB Ratchet 
55  $100,000  $100,000  $100,000   
56  $107,199  $106,000 (=$100,000 * (1+6%))  $107,199   
57  $114,927  $112,360 (=$106,000 * (1+6%))  $114,927

64  $187,279  $168,948  $187,279   
65  $200,815  $179,085 (=$168948 * (1+6%))  $200,815   

 

For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased between February 2, 2009 and May 1, 2009, the MGIB Rollup Base and the
MGIB Ratchet Base, with a contract accumulation rate of 8% (Example 3), are determined as follows:

Age  Contract Value  MGIB Rollup    MGIB Ratchet

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.

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%).

If the contract value has fallen to $100,000 on the next contract anniversary (quarterly contract anniversary if the rider was
purchased before February 2, 2009), 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%).

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

F-2



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, and the Contract Value is $48,500 after the part of the gross
withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by
4.12% ($2,000 / $48,500) to $4,794 ((1 - 4.12%) * $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.

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 30% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and the Other Funds, we will automatically reallocate
$150,000 from the amount allocated to the Other Funds (30% of the $500,000 allocated to the Other Funds) to the Fixed
Allocation Funds. Your ending allocations will be $100,000 to Accepted Funds, $150,000 to the Fixed Allocation Funds, and
$350,000 to Other Funds.

II. Partial Withdrawals

A. Assume that on Day 1, an owner deposits an initial payment of $100,000, which is allocated 65% to Accepted Funds
($65,000), 30% to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($30,000), 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 $29,000 from the Fixed Allocation Funds. Because the
remaining amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,000) is less than 30% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed
Allocation Funds and the Other Funds, we will automatically reallocate $800 from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation
Funds, so that the amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,800) is 30% 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.

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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-1



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. 

 

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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-2



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:

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-3



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.

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-4



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 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:   
 
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund  ING Retirement Conservative Portfolio 
ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Growth Portfolio 
ING American Funds World Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio 
ING Invesco Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio 
ING Liquid Assets Portfolio  ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio 
ING MFS Total Return Portfolio  Fixed Interest Allocation 
ING Oppenheimer Active Allocation Portfolio   
 
If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the following are additional Accepted Funds: 
 
ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio   
ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index 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: 
 
ING American Funds Bond Portfolio  ING PIMCO Total Return Bond Portfolio 
ING BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio  ING U.S. Bond Index Portfolio 
ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio   

 

  You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-5



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 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-6



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 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-7



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.

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 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-8



  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:

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.

H-9



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 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-10



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%

  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 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:

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-11



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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-12



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 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:   
 
BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund  ING Retirement Conservative Portfolio 
ING American Funds Asset Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Growth Portfolio 
ING American Funds World Allocation Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio 
ING Invesco Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio  ING Retirement Moderate Portfolio 
ING Liquid Assets Portfolio  ING T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio 
ING MFS Total Return Portfolio  Fixed Interest Allocation 
ING Oppenheimer Active Allocation Portfolio   
 
If this rider was purchased before February 2, 2009, the following are additional Accepted Funds: 
 
ING Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Portfolio   
ING WisdomTreeSM Global High-Yielding Equity Index 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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-13



  Fixed Allocation Funds. Currently, the Fixed Allocation Funds are:

ING American Funds Bond Portfolio  ING PIMCO Total Return Bond Portfolio 
ING BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio  ING U.S. Bond Index Portfolio 
ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio   

 

  You may allocate contract value to one or more of the Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the ING 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 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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-14



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. 
 
  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:

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-15



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.

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.

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

H-16



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 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).

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

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

I-1



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 will increase to the
maximum annual charge of 1.00% .
The Reset Option can only be elected on contract anniversaries . If you elect the Reset
Option, the Step-Up benefit is not available.

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. 

 

ING Empire Traditions – 85618

I-2



The Step-Up Benefit may be elected only one time under the MGWB Rider. Election of the
Step-Up benefit is limited to contract anniversaries 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
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. If your rider was issued prior to May 1, 2005 and you
elect the Step-Up Benefit, we will increase increase the charge for the MGWB rider to the maximum annual charge of 1.00%
of contract value.

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:

  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%).

Introduction
This Statement of Additional Information provides background information regarding Separate Account NY-B.

Description of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York
ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RLNY”) is a New York stock life insurance company
originally incorporated on June 11, 1917 under the name, The Morris Plan Insurance Society. RLNY is
authorized to transact business in all states, the District of Columbia, the Dominican Republic and the
Cayman Islands and is principally engaged in the business of providing individual life insurance and
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 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.
RLNY’s financial statements appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

RLNY, an affiliate of ING USA, is licensed to do variable annuity business in the state of New York.

Separate Account NY-B of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York
Separate Account NY–B is a separate account established by the Company for the purpose of funding
variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The separate account is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. Purchase payments to accounts under the contract may be allocated to one or more of the
subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in the shares of only one of the funds offered under the contracts.
We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available investment options as permitted by
law and subject to the conditions of the contract. The availability of the funds is subject to applicable
regulatory authorization. Not all funds are available in all jurisdictions or under all contracts.

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, 2011, 2010 and
2009, RLNY incurred expenses of $0, $0 and $0, respectively, under the agreement with ING USA.

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, 2011, there were no charges to ING USA and Directed Services LLC for these services.

Experts
The statements of assets and liabilities of Separate Account NY-B as of December 31, 2011, and the
related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial
statements, and the statutory basis financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and
2010, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, included in the Statement of
Additional Information, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public
accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in
reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The primary business address of Ernst & Young LLP is Suite 1000, 55 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard,
Atlanta, GA 30308.

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 2011, 2010 and 2009 commissions paid by ING USA,
including amounts paid by its affiliated Company, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, to
Directed Services LLC aggregated $3,351,615, $3,678,585 and $6,918,468 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 and below. 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.

Illustration of Calculation of AUV   
Example 1.   
1.  AUV, beginning of period  $10.00000000 
2.  Value of securities, beginning of period  $10.00000000 
3.  Change in value of securities  0.10000000 
4.  Gross investment return (3) divided by (2)  0.01000000 
5.  Less daily mortality and expense charge  0.00003446 
6.  Less asset based administrative charge  0.00000411 
7.  Net investment return (4) minus (5) minus (6)  0.00996163 
8.  Net investment factor (1.000000) plus (7)  1.00996163 
9.  AUV, end of period (1) multiplied by (8)  $10.09961430 
 
Illustration of Purchase of Units (Assuming No State Premium Tax)   
Example 2.   
1.  Initial Premium Payment  $1,000 
2.  AUV on effective date of purchase (see Example 1)  $10.00000000 
3.  Number of Units purchased [(1) divided by (2)]  100.00000000 
4.  AUV for valuation date following purchase (see Example 1)  $10.09961430 
5.  Contract Value in account for valuation date following   
  purchase [(3) multiplied by (4)]  $1,009.96 

 

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 ING Liquid Assets Portfolio 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 ING Liquid Assets Portfolio 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 ING Liquid Assets Portfolio 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.

Other Information
Registration statements have been filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, with
respect to the Contracts discussed in this Statement of Additional Information. Not all of the information
set forth in the registration statements, amendments and exhibits thereto has been included in this
Statement of Additional Information. Statements contained in this Statement of Additional Information
concerning the content of the Contracts and other legal instruments are intended to be summaries. For a
complete statement of the terms of these documents, reference should be made to the instruments filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

 

The 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,” an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America
Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. 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 New York Department of
Financial Services (“New York Insurance Department”), which practices differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles 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 U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of
New York at December 31, 2011 and 2010, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011.



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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by the New York Insurance Department.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes in 2009.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

1.  Organization 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. 
 
  Description of Business 
 
  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. 
 
  Use of Estimates 
 
  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. 
 
  Recently Adopted Accounting Principles 
 
  Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting 
  Principles (“SSAP”) No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets – 
  Revised (“SSAP No. 5R”). This statement defines and establishes accounting for 
  liabilities, contingencies and impairments of assets, particularly contingencies related to 
  or on behalf of direct or indirect wholly owned insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries. 
  At inception, the Company is required to record a liability equal to the fair value of the 
  guarantee. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable that payment will 
  be required under the guarantee, the liability recorded will be an amount equal to the 
  greater of the fair value of the guarantee or the undiscounted future payments required 
  under the guarantee. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a 
  result of adopting this accounting standard. See Note 13 for additional disclosures 
  required by this statement.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted the modifications made to SSAP 
No. 22, Leases (“SSAP No. 22”), as they relate to modification and early termination of 
leases. Under the provisions of the statement, early termination or non-use of leased 
property benefits, are recognized at fair value as follows: 
  a.  Liabilities for costs to terminate a contract before the end of its term are 
    recognized when the Company terminated in accordance with the contract terms. 
  b.  Liabilities for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract for its 
    remaining term without economic benefit are recognized as of the date the 
    Company no longer has the right to use the leased property. The fair value of the 
    liability on that date will be determined based on the remaining lease rentals, 
    adjusted for the effects of any prepaid or deferred items recognized under the 
    lease, and reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained 
    for the property, even if there is no intent to enter into a sublease. 
 
The Company did not recognize a liability as a result of the adoption of this statement. 
There was no impact to net income. See Note 13 for additional disclosures required by 
this statement. 
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and 
Other Assessments (“SSAP No. 35R”). This statement establishes statutory accounting 
principles for guaranty fund and other assessments. 
 
Guaranty fund and other assessments will be expensed and a liability accrued by the 
Company when the following conditions are met: 
a.  An assessment has been imposed or information available prior to issuance of the 
  statutory financial statement indicates that it is probable that an assessment will be 
  imposed. 
b.  The event obligating an entity to pay an imposed or probable assessment has occurred 
  on or before the date of the financial statements. 
c.  The amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. 

 

In addition, if it is probable that a paid or accrued assessment will result in an amount that
is recoverable from premium tax offsets or policy surcharges, the Company will
recognize an asset or liability for that recovery in an amount that is determined based on
current laws, projections of future premium collections or policy surcharges from in-force
policies. Any recognized asset from premium tax credits or policy surcharges will be re-
evaluated regularly to ensure recoverability. Upon expiration, tax credits no longer
meeting the definition of an asset will be charged to income in the period the
determination is made.

The Company has re-evaluated both the liability and asset under the new guidelines
established by SSAP No. 35R due to various assessments related to insolvencies. The
Company’s 2011 financial statements were not impacted as a result of the adoption of
this change in accounting principle.
Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted SSAP No. 100, Fair Value
Measurements (“SSAP No. 100”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a

9



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

framework for measuring fair value, and establishes the following disclosure
requirements about fair value:

§  Fair value measurements at the reporting date and the source of the fair value 
  measurement; 
§  The level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall; 
§  Significant transfers in and out of Level 3; 
§  Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement in the Level 3 fair value measurements 
  reconciliation; 
§  Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e. 
  disaggregated); 
§  Valuation techniques and inputs used for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value 
  measurements. 

 

The adoption had no impact on the Company’s Balance Sheet or Statement of
Operations. See Note 12 for additional documents required by this standard.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted SSAP No. 91R, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SSAP
No. 91R”). The statement initially established statutory accounting principles for
transfers and servicing of financial assets. Amendments to the statement were made in
2010 to clarify that the adequacy of collateralization should be measured based on the fair
value of the collateral obtained. Under the revised standard, securities pledged as
collateral that may be sold or repledged by the transferor or its agent are reclassified on
the Company's balance sheet separately from assets not so encumbered. Reporting of
collateral on the Company's balance sheet is determined by the administration of the
program and is presented accordingly. The adoption of SSAP No. 91R had no impact on
the net income or surplus of the Company. See Note 3 for additional discloses required
by the standard.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes
(“SSAP No. 10R”). This statement requires the Company to calculate admitted deferred
tax assets based upon the gross admitted deferred asset to reverse within one year with a
cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset of 10% of capital and surplus for its
most recently filed statement with the domiciliary state superintendent. If the Company’s
risk-based capital (“RBC”) levels, after reflecting the above limitations, exceeds 250% of
the authorized control level, the statement increases the limitation on admitted deferred
tax assets from the deferred asset expected to reverse in one year to what is expected to
reverse over the next three years and increases the cap on the admitted portion of the
deferred tax asset from 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement
with the domiciliary state superintendent to 15% of capital and surplus for its most
recently filed statement with the domiciliary state superintendent. Other revisions in the
statement include requiring the Company to reduce the gross deferred tax asset by a
statutory valuation allowance adjustment if, based on the weight of available evidence, it
is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of
the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effects on the Company's 2009

10



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle at December 31,
2009 were increases to capital and surplus and total admitted assets of $7.3. This
adoption had no impact on net income or total liabilities. The increase in capital and
surplus related to the cumulative effect of adopting this change in accounting principle is
disclosed in a separate line in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable
Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”). The NAIC
replaced the existing formula-based reserve standard methodology (AG34 – Death
Benefits and New York Regulation 128 for living benefits (“Reg 128”) with a stochastic
principles-based methodology (AG43) for determining reserves for all individual variable
annuity contracts with and without guaranteed benefits and all group annuity contracts
with guarantees issued on or after 1/1/1981. Variable payout annuity contracts are also
subject to AG43. Under the requirements of AG43, there is no cumulative effect of
adopting AG43. Reserves calculated using AG43 were higher than reserves calculated
under AG34 and Reg 128 by $46.7. Where the application of AG43 produces higher
reserves than the Company had otherwise established under AG34 and Reg 128, the
Company may request a grade-in period, not to exceed three years, from the Domiciliary
Commissioner. The grading shall be done only on reserves on the contracts in-force as of
December 31, 2009. The Company did not elect the grade-in provision, therefore reserves
at December 31, 2009 reflect the full impact of the adoption of AG43.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 43R, Loan-backed and
Structured Securities (“SSAP No. 43R”). This statement provides guidance on recording
other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) on loan-backed and structured securities.
When the holder of a loan-backed or structured security with an unrealized loss position
either has the intent to sell the security or does not have the intent and ability to hold the
security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, the security
must be written down to fair value.

When the holder of a loan-backed or structured security in an unrealized loss position
does not intend to sell the security and has the intent and ability to hold the security for a
period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost, the holder of the security must
compare the present value of the expected future cash flows for this security to its
amortized cost. If the present value of the expected future cash flows for the security is
lower than its amortized cost, the security is written down to its present value of the
expected future cash flows.

In both instances noted above, the total loss recorded is bifurcated between the interest
related loss and the non-interest related loss. The interest related portion shall be recorded
through the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) and the non-interest related portion
shall be recorded through the asset valuation reserve (“AVR”). The effects on the
Company's 2009 financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle at
July 1, 2009 were decreases in total admitted assets of $0.8, total liabilities of $0.3, and
capital and surplus of $0.5. This adoption had no impact on net income.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York
Department of Financial Services, which practices differ from United States generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The more significant variances from GAAP
are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are
reported at amortized cost or fair 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 Statements
of 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.

Management regularly reviews the value of the Company’s investments in bonds and
mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks. If the fair value of any investment falls below
its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other than temporary
decline in value. To make this determination for each security, the following are some of
the factors considered:

§  The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost. 
§  The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, 
  including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential. 
§  Management’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover 
  its fair value. 

 

Based on the analysis, management makes a judgment as to whether the loss is other than
temporary. If the loss is other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded within
net realized investment gains (losses) in the Statements of Operation in the period the
determination is made.

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 in
unrealized loss positions in the periods after the adoption of SSAP No. 43R management
determines whether it has the intent to sell or the intent and ability to hold the security for
a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost. If management has the intent
and ability to hold the security to recovery, the Company must compare the present value
of the expected future cash flows for this security to its carrying value. If the present

12



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

value of the expected future cash flows for the security is lower than its carrying value,
the security is written down to its present value of the expected future cash flows.

When an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is recorded because there is intent
to sell or a holder does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of
time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair
value. The total loss recorded is bifurcated between the interest related loss and the non-
interest related loss. The interest portion shall be recorded through the IMR and the non-
interest portion shall be recorded through the AVR.

For GAAP, when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the
loss which is calculated as the difference between the securities carrying value and fair
value is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in its entirety or bifurcated between
net realized capital gains (losses) and accumulated other comprehensive income, as
appropriate.

Realized gains and losses on disposed 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.

The Company follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SSAP No. 86”) for derivative
transactions. Under SSAP No. 86, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are
accounted for entirely 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. For effective cash flow hedges, changes in
fair value are credited or charged directly to a separate component of shareholder’s equity
rather than to income as required for fair value hedges. 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 is recognized in income.

Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write down for
impairments. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is
reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at
the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that
are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the
underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure.
The carrying value of the impaired loan is reduced by establishing a permanent write-
down recorded in net realized capital gains (losses). Under GAAP, in addition to

13



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

impairments of specific mortgage loans, a general allowance is recorded for losses not
specifically identifiable.

Valuation Reserves: The 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.

Interest Maintenance Reserve: 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 securities sold in five year bands. The Company’s net deferral
of IMR is negative and as such is reported as a component of other assets and completely
nonadmitted in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

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 profits 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.

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 (“CRVM”) 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 and amortized over the remaining life of the business.

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.

Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company’s pension and
postretirement benefit obligations, 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
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 over the next year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered
through carrybacks, surplus limits, and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for
offset. For periods after the adoption of SSAP No. 10R, and assuming certain minimum
thresholds are met, the formula allows the Company to consider the amount that is
expected to reverse over the next three years rather than the single year under SSAP No.
10. The Company is also required under SSAP No. 10R, to reduce the gross deferred tax
asset by a statutory valuation allowance adjustment if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some
portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. 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 more likely than not realizable.

Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short term investments in the Statements of Cash
Flows represent cash balances, demand deposits and short-term fixed maturity
investments with initial maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition. Under
GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances
and investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Other invested assets
include cash loaned through the Company’s reciprocal loan program.

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.

Loan backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost
or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method and
includes anticipated prepayments. The retrospective adjustment method is used to
determine the amortized cost for the majority of loan-backed and structured securities.
For certain securities the prospective adjustment method is used, including interest only
securities and securities that have experienced an other-than-temporary impairment.

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,
amortized cost, or fair value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at fair
value or the lower of cost or fair value.

Common stocks are reported at fair value and the related unrealized capital gains/losses
are reported in unassigned surplus along with adjustment for federal income taxes.

The Company’s use of derivatives is primarily for economic hedging purposes to reduce
the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk,
credit risk, and market risk. 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.
The unrealized gains and losses from derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are
reported at fair value through surplus. Upon termination, interest related gains and losses
are included in IMR and are amortized over the remaining lives of the derivatives; other
gains and losses are added to the AVR. The Company enters into the following
derivatives:

§  Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate risk in 
  the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, as well as the Company’s liabilities. 
  Interest rate swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of cash flows at 
  regular interim periods, typically monthly or quarterly. The net interest effect of 
  such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the 
  hedged items as incurred. 
 
§  Credit default swaps (sold credit protection): 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’s Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) result 
  in both the derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The 
  replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86. 
 
§  Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce the credit loss 
  exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit 
  exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to or 
  received from the counterparty at specified intervals and represents amounts for the 
  purchase or sale of credit protection. In the event of a default on the underlying 
  credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased 
  credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit 
  protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract. 
 
§  Currency swaps: Currency swaps are used to hedge the foreign exchange exposure 
  in the Company’s foreign currency denominated fixed maturity portfolio. As 
  foreign exchange rates changes, the increase or decrease in the cash flows (principal 
  and interest) of the derivatives generally offsets the changes in the functional- 
  currency equivalent cash flows of the underlying hedged item.

§  Futures: The Company utilizes futures contracts in a dynamic hedge of their 
  variable annuity products. 
 
§  Options: Call options are used to hedge against an increase in the various equity 
  indices. Such increase may result in increased payments to contract holders of fixed 
  indexed annuity contracts, and the options offset this increased expense. Put options 
  are used to hedge the liability associated with embedded derivatives in certain 
  variable annuity contracts and as part of a hedging program designed to mitigate the 
  impact of potential declines in equity markets and their impact on regulatory 
  capital. Options are reported at fair value. 

 

Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

The Company does not currently engage in reverse repurchase agreements and reverse
dollar repurchase agreements, but has in prior years. Such arrangements typically meet
the requirements to be accounted for as financings. For both reverse repurchase
agreements and reverse dollar repurchase agreements, company policies require that at all
times during the respective agreement term, cash or other collateral types obtained is
sufficient to allow the Company to find substantially all of the cost of purchasing
replacement assets from others. Cash collateral received is used for general liquidity
purposes and the offsetting collateral liability is included in borrowed money on the
Balance Sheets.
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 fair 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 fair value of the loaned securities is monitored on a
daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the fair value fluctuates.

Short term investments are reported at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Short term investments include investments with maturities between three months and
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. Changes in surplus from distributions
are reported in investment income.

Surplus Notes acquired, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance
Sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Realized capital gains and losses are generally 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 from date of purchase.

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 2.25% to 8.75% for
2011.

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 Department
of Financial Services, is $14.9 billion and $18.3 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross
premiums are less than the net premiums is $70.7 and $83.0 at December 31, 2011 and
2010, 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 (“SSAP No. 54”).

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

19



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

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.

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 2.0% of the
Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and 7.5% 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 $1.0, $0.9 and
$0.9 was incurred in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Benefit Plans: The Company, through its parent or affiliates, 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   
  2011    2010 
  (In Thousands) 
Deferred federal income taxes  $ 79,373  $ 74,480 
Agents’ debit balances  240    319 
Deferred and uncollected premiums  1,639    1,316 
Negative IMR  8,091    3,443 
Other  3,527    3,540 
Total nonadmitted assets  $ 92,870  $ 83,098 

 

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,
2011. 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, 2011.

  Guaranteed Benefits: For variable annuity guarantees, Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable
Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”), is followed.
This guideline interprets how to apply the NAIC Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve
Valuation Method to Variable Annuities. The greater of the result under a single
deterministic “Standard Scenario” and the average of the most severe 30% of randomly
generated stochastic scenarios is held. Both reinsurance and hedging are also reflected.
Taxes are not incorporated. All assumptions for the Standard Scenario are prescribed. For
the stochastic scenarios, equity market returns must meet a calibration test. All other
assumptions are set by the actuary using prudent best-estimates. AG43 replaces Actuarial
Guidelines 34 and Reg 128 for Variable Annuities effective December 31, 2009. Per
AG43, the reserve as of January 1, 2009 shall be the sum of the reserves from the asset
adequacy analysis requirements in AG34 and Reg 128. Therefore, there was no
cumulative effect of adopting AG 43 in 2009. Where the application of AG43 produces
higher reserves that the Company had otherwise established under AG 34 and Reg 128,
the Company may request a grade-in period, not to exceed three years, from the
Domiciliary Superintendent (“Superintendent”). The grading shall be done only on
reserves on the contracts in-force as of the current year. The Company did not elect the
grade-in provision, therefore reserves at December 31, 2011 and 2010 reflect the full
impact of the initial adoption of AG43. The Company completed its review of the
assumptions used to calculate reserves for guaranteed benefits attached to variable
annuity contracts in 2011. The review results in updated assumptions for persistency,
mortality, annuitization of guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”), and
utilization of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”). This change resulted
in an increase in AG43 reserves of $42.0.

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.

Reserves related to the Company’s mortality risk are included in life and annuity
reserves. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (before
reinsurance) that totaled $10.8 and $5.9 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 Department of Financial Services. 
  The New York Department of Financial Services 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

Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or
permitted practices by the State of New York. The New York Superintendent 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 Department of
Financial Services. As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no such
permitted accounting practices.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, investments in certificates of deposit and bonds with an
admitted asset value of $6.2 and $6.2, respectively, were on deposit with state insurance
departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.

The Company does not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A whole-loan mortgages.
The Company does have exposure to Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”)
and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Subprime lending is the origination of loans to
customers with weaker credit profiles. The Company defines Alt-A Loans to include
residential mortgage loans to customers who have strong credit profiles but lack some
prime element(s), such as documentation to substantiate income. The Company expanded
its definition of Alt-A loans to include residential mortgage loans to borrowers that would
otherwise be classified as prime but whose loan structure provides repayment options to
the borrower that increase the risk of default. The industry coalesced around classifying
any securities backed by residential mortgage collateral not clearly identifiable as prime
or subprime into the Alt-A category, and the Company is following that lead.

Underlying collateral, originated prior to 2008, has continued to reflect the problems
associated with a housing market that has since seen substantial price declines and an
employment market that has declined significantly and remains under stress. Credit
spreads have widened meaningfully from issuance and rating agency downgrades have
been widespread and severe within the sector. Over the course of 2010 and early 2011,
price transparency and liquidity for bonds backed by subprime mortgages improved with
the reduced volatility across broader risk markets and apparent increase in overall risk
appetite. However, beginning in the second quarter of 2011, the market for the lower
quality, distressed segments of the subprime and Alt-A mortgage markets again displayed
weakness. Severe distortions to the amount of available supply in the market of these
asset types had the impact of increasing volatility and reducing liquidity in these
segments of the non-agency Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”) markets.
In the second half of 2011, while these supply problems dissipated, additional headwinds
from fundamental problems in the housing market and uncertainty from the broader
global markets negatively impacted credit risk premiums, further pressuring bond prices
lower. In managing its risk exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages, the Company
takes into account collateral performance and structural characteristics associated with its
various positions.

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest

On January 26, 2009, ING announced it reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of
certain ING affiliates, with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility (the
“Back-up Facility”) covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities
(“Alt-A RMBS”). Under the terms of the Back-up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to
the Dutch State was realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB
and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas with a book value of $36.0 billion.
The Company did not participate in this portion of the Back-up Facility. As a result of
the risk transfer, the Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A
RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State took place at a discount of 10% of
par value. In addition, under the Back-up Facility, other fees were paid both by ING
affiliates and the Dutch State. Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State
Transaction remains the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and will

26

remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio. The ING-Dutch State Transaction
closed on March 31, 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to
the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph taking effect as of January 26,
2009.

In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s
Alt-A RMBS which had a book value of approximately $65.0 was sold for cash to an
affiliate, Lion II Custom Investments LLC (“Lion II”). Immediately thereafter, Lion II
sold to ING Direct Bancorp the purchased securities (the “Step 2 Cash Transfer”).
Contemporaneous with the Step 2 Cash Transfer, ING Direct Bancorp included such
purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State. The
Step 1 Cash Transfer closed on March 31, 2009 contemporaneous with the closing of the
ING-Dutch Transaction.

Since the Company had the intent to sell as of December 31, 2008, a portion of its Alt-A
RMBS as part of the Step 1 Cash Transfer, the Company evaluated the securities for
impairment under INT 06-07: Definition of Phrase “Other Than Temporary” and SSAP
No. 43, “Loan-backed and Structured Securities.” Per SSAP No. 43, the book value of
the other-than-temporary impaired security must be written down to the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows. In applying of SSAP No. 43, the Company considered
the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for the impairment to be the remaining
undiscounted cash flows on the security over its expected life. Since the estimated
undiscounted future cash flow from these securities exceeded the carrying value of the
securities at December 31, 2008, no impairment was recorded. The Company recorded a
realized loss of $4.5 related to this transaction during the first quarter of 2009. See the
ING Restructuring Plan disclosure in Commitments and Contingencies for more on this
transaction.

Mortgage Loans

All mortgage loans are evaluated by seasoned underwriters, including an appraisal of
loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics, and market trends, and assigned a
quality rating using the Company’s internally developed quality rating system. As of
December 31, 2011 and 2010, the distribution based upon this quality rating system is as
follows:

  2011    2010 
  (In Thousands)
AAA  $ -  $ - 
AA  8,420    11,386 
A  75,058    76,995 
BBB  3,507    4,155 
BB and below  917    1,036 
Total commerical mortgage loans  $ 87,902  $ 93,572 

 

Loan performance is continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis through the review
of borrower submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual

27

inspection reports, among other items. This review evaluates whether the properties are
performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

All commercial mortgages are rated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk.
Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for
collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or
interest. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is
reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at
the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral. As of December 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009, the Company held no impaired mortgage loans. For the same periods, no
commercial mortgage loans were past due.

The maximum and minimum lending rates for long term mortgage loans during 2011
were 5.6% and 5.2%. 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. Generally all risk coverage at
replacement cost is required for a property securing real estate finance investments.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held no mortgages with interest more
than 180 days overdue. No interest was past due as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

There were no encumbrances on real estate at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
respectively.

  Low-Income Housing Tax Credits 
 
  The Company had a carrying value of $0.3 in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits 
  (“LIHTC”) at December 31, 2011. The tax credits are projected to expire in 2018. The 
  Company is indifferent to the holding period of the investments as the credits are 
  guaranteed by a third party. The Company is unaware of any current regulatory reviews 
  of the LIHTC property. 
 
4.  Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading 
 
  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 Company sells credit default swap protection, in conjunction with other investments, 
  to replicate the income characteristics of otherwise permitted investments. The standard 
  contract is five or seven years. In the event of default of the reference entity, the 
  Company would be required to pay the notional amount of contract. At December 31, 
  2011, the total amount would be $42.0. 
 
 
  The table below summarizes the Company’s derivative contracts, which are reflected as 
  invested assets and a liability on the Balance Sheets, at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

  The Company held below investment grade corporate bonds with an aggregate book
value of $70.3 and $98.9 and an aggregate fair value of $68.7 and $91.7 at December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Those holdings amounted to 3.9% of the Company’s
investments in bonds and 3.1% of total admitted assets at December 31, 2011. The
holdings of below investment grade bonds are widely diversified and of satisfactory
quality based on the Company’s investment policies and credit standards.

The Company held unrated bonds of $35.4 and $232.1 with an aggregate NAIC fair value
of $37.8 and $228.4 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The carrying value of
these holdings amounted to 1.98% of the Company’s investment in bonds and 1.53% of
the Company’s total admitted assets at December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s commercial mortgages involved a concentration
of properties located in California (37.6%) and Texas (22.3%). The remaining
commercial mortgages relate to properties located in 19 other states. The portfolio is well
diversified, covering many different types of income producing properties on which the
Company has first mortgage liens. The maximum mortgage outstanding on any
individual property is $6.4.

7.  Employee Benefit Plans             

 

  Defined Benefit Plan: ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North
America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Qualified Plan”), effective
as of December 31, 2001. Effective January 1, 2009, the Qualified Plan is no longer
available to new employees or re-hires. Employees of ING North America and its
subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) hired prior to January 1, 2009
will continue to be eligible to participate in the Qualified Plan.

The Qualified Plan is a tax qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are
guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Qualified Plan
(except for certain specified employees) earns a benefit under a final average pay
(“FAP”) formula. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in
the Qualified Plan were $1.6, $2.1 and $1.8 for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. ING
North America is responsible for all Qualified Plan liabilities.
Beginning January 1, 2012, the Qualified Plan will use a cash balance pension formula
instead of a FAP formula, allowing all eligible employees (including those hired after
January 1, 2009) to participate in the Retirement Plan, with this new cash balance pension
formula. Participants will earn a credit equal to 4% of eligible pay. The accrued vested
cash balance benefit is portable; participants can take it when they leave the Company’s

38

Note to Other Financial Information

  employment. For participants in the Qualified Plan, as of December 31, 2011, there will
be a two-year transition period from the Qualified Plan’s current FAP formula to the cash
balance pension formula. In accordance with the requirements of SSAP No. 89,
Accounting for Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 8 (“SSAP No. 89”) the Company
obtained Board approval on November 10, 2011.

Defined Contributions Plans: ING North America sponsors the ING Savings Plan and
ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its
subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate,
including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Savings Plan is a
tax qualified profit sharing and stock bonus plan, which includes an employee stock
ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC’). The Savings Plan allows eligible
participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation
on a pretax basis. ING North America matches such pretax contributions, up to a
maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4
year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5
year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to
certain limits imposed by applicable law. Expense for matching contribution allocated to
the Company was $0.7 and $0.7 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Other Benefit Plans: In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in
conjunction with ING North America, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits
to eligible employees and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and
other eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan includes a nonqualified
defined benefit pension plan, and a nonqualified defined contribution plan, which means
all benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company. The postretirement
health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The
life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional
contributory coverage

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company no longer subsidizes medical premium costs for
early retirees. This change does not impact any participant currently retired and receiving
coverage under the plan or any employee who is eligible for coverage under the plan and
whose employment ended before October 1, 2009.

The Company also offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees and certain
other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. The Company’s deferred compensation
commitment for employees is recorded on the Balance Sheet in Other liabilities and
totaled $0.8 and $0.8 for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The valuation allowance adjustment to gross deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011
and 2010 was $0.1 and $2.8, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance
adjustment for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was a decrease of $2.7 and
an increase of $1.4, respectively. The valuation allowance adjustment relates to foreign
tax credits for 2011, and capital losses and foreign tax credits for 2010. The valuation
allowance is necessary because it is unlikely that the Company will be able to utilize
foreign tax credits.

The change in deferred income taxes reported in surplus before the consideration of
nonadmitted assets is comprised of the following components:

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in Federal income taxes and Federal income tax expense on the Balance Sheets
and Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had no accrued interest as of
December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

In March 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the
Company’s return for tax year 2009. In first quarter of 2011, the Company increased its
current tax expense and paid ING AIH, approximately $2.5 ($2.7 net of unrecognized tax
benefits) to record the 2009 Audit Settlement.

The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for tax years 2010 through 2012 and it
is expected that the examination of tax year 2010 will be finalized within the next twelve

  months. The Company and the IRS have agreed to participate in the Compliance 
  Assurance Program (“CAP”) for tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012. 
 
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’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the 
  accompanying financial statements by the following amounts: 

 

    Year ended December 31   
  2011  2010    2009 
    (In Thousands)   
Premiums  $ 199,504  $ 121,699  $ 123,288 
Benefits paid or provided  77,031  51,495    38,122 
Policy and contract liabilities at year end  673,784  519,230    435,653 

 

  The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the
reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement.

Assumed premiums amounted to $0.0, $0.0 and $2.7 for 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

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 lesser of the net gain from operations excluding
realized capital gains or 10% of surplus at December 31 of the preceding year.

On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1 securities for a
total consideration of Euro 10 billion. On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed
to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING AIH, of which $90.0 was
contributed to the Company, effective for December 31, 2008. The contribution was
comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch government and the
redistribution of currently existing capital within ING. The Company did not pay
dividends to ReliaStar during 2011, 2010 or 2009. The New York Department of
Financial Services 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, 2011, 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 nonfinancial 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 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 Company utilizes a number of valuation
methodologies to determine the fair values of its bonds, preferred stocks and common
stocks reported herein in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair
value measurement as prescribed in SSAP No. 100. Valuations are obtained from
third party commercial pricing services, brokers, and industry-standard vendor-
provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The
valuations obtained from brokers and third-party commercial pricing services are
non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal
valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models,
back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing
model. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current
corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the
security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value
of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the
Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market.
Using this data, the model generates estimated market values, which the Company
considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

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 1.8% and 15.2% over the total portfolio. Effective December
31, 2011, the Company statutory fair values represent the amount that would be
received to sell securities at the measurement date (i.e. “exit value” concept).

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.

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.

Included in various investment related line items in the financial statements are certain
financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically
measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stock
when carried at the lower of cost or market.

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a
current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation
sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or
settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale.
Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are
not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,

54

incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable
terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market
activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using
methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would
use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some
level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with
increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are
included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified,
for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100 and ASC
Subtopic 820-10, formerly FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the
hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value on the Balance Sheets are categorized as follows:

§  Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active 
  market. 
§  Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable 
  either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. 
  Level 2 inputs include the following: 
  a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; 
  b)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active 
    markets; 
  c)  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and 
  d)  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market 
    data through correlation or other means. 
§  Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both 
  unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These 
  valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical 
  assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant 
  expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

Bonds: Securities that are carried at fair value on the balance sheet are classified as Level
2 or Level 3. Level 2 bond prices are obtained through several commercial pricing
services, which incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation
techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer
spreads, bids, offers and other reference data to provide estimated fair values. Privately
placed bond fair value are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are
classified as Level 2 assets. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing
service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent
broker quotes are classified as Level 3. Over the course of 2010 and 2011, price
transparency and liquidity for bonds backed by subprime mortgages have improved with
reduced volatility across broader risk markets. The Company monitors the market for
subprime and continues to categorize these securities as Level 3 in the valuation
hierarchy.

Common Stock: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted
market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Other equity securities, typically private
equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such
as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

57



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: The carrying amounts for cash
reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term
investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as
Level 1.

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or
liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Certain derivatives are carried
at fair value (on the Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s
derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data, such as
yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London
Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), which are obtained from third party sources and
uploaded into the system. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the
accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third party
brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s
valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of
overall exposure. The Company’s own credit risk is monitored by comparison of credit
ratings from national rating services. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with
investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Valuations for the
Company’s futures contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices from an active
exchange and, therefore, are classified as Level 1. The Company also has certain Options
that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain
inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level
3. However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable
inputs and are classified as Level 2.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the
quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. Mutual funds,
short-term investments and cash are based upon a quoted market price and are included in
Level 1. The underlying instruments in bonds have valuations that are obtained from
third-party commercial pricing services and brokers and are classified in the fair value
hierarchy consistent with the policies described above for fixed maturities.

The Company did not have any security transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during
2011.

The transfers out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2011 in bonds are
primarily due to the Company’s determination that the market for subprime residential
mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") has become sufficiently active. While the
valuation methodology has not changed, the Company has concluded that frequency of
transactions in the market for subprime RMBS securities constitute an active market and
therefore are now classified as level 2.

The remaining transfers in and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2011
are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are
primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one
of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these
securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less
transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When
securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are
transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

13.  Commitments and Contingencies           

 

  Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the
Company has entered into agreements to purchase securities of $16.5 and $6.7 at
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide
additional capital contributions to partnerships of $2.6 and $10.4 at December 31, 2011
and 2010, respectively.

Operating Leases: The Company is party to certain cost sharing agreements with other
affiliated ING United States companies. Included in these cost sharing arrangements is
rent expense, which is allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost
allocation arrangements. The Company incurred minimal rent expense during years
ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 under this cost sharing methodology.

The Company does not have any minimum aggregate rental commitments under the cost
sharing arrangements and service agreements. The Company does not have any future
minimum lease payment receivables under the cost sharing arrangements and service
agreements.

The Company is not involved in any sale leaseback transactions.

The Company does not have any early terminated lease agreements.

  Litigation: 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

60



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

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 periodically receive 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 Company or the
financial services industry. These currently include regulatory scrutiny of whether and to
what extent insurance companies are using the United States Social Security
Administration’s Death Master File (“SSDMF”) to proactively ascertain whether
customers have deceased and to pay claims even where no claim for benefits has been
made. Along these lines, the New York Department of Financial Services has directed the
Company to use information available on the SSDMF to identify any death claim that
may be due under life insurance policies, annuity contracts or retained asset accounts that
have not been previously reported through historical claim reporting processes,
implement procedures to locate beneficiaries, make prompt payments as necessary, and
to report to the New York Department of Financial Services the results of using the data.
In addition, a majority of states are conducting an audit of the Company’s compliance
with unclaimed property laws. The Company also has been reviewing whether benefits
are owed and whether reserves are adequate in instances where an insured appears to
have died, but no claim for benefits has been made. Some of the investigations, audits,
examinations, and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The
potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to
adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to beneficiaries,
settlement payments, penalties, fines, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned
under state laws, changes to the Company’s procedures for the identification and
escheatment of abandoned property, and other financial liability. While it is not possible
to predict the ultimate outcome of any such action, or the internal and external
investigations, examinations, reviews and inquiries, management does not believe that
they will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. It is the
practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.

Liquidity: The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment
income, premiums, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital
contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and operating
expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities, death benefits,
withdrawals, and surrenders.
The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid
assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Asset/liability
management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s operations, including
investment decisions, product development, and determination of crediting rates. As part
of the risk management process, different economic scenarios are modeled, including

61



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory purposes, to determine that existing
assets are adequate to meet projected liability cash flows. Key variables in the modeling
process include interest rates, anticipated contract owner behavior, and variable separate
account performance. Contract owners bear the investment risk related to variable
annuity products, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates.

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally
composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can
generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the
fixed account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the Company
to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of asset
sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other relevant
factors. The Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to
minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change.
In executing this strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage these
risks. The Company’s derivative counterparties are of high credit quality.

During 2009, the Company took certain actions to reduce its exposure to interest rate and
market risks. These actions included reducing guaranteed interest rates for new business,
reducing credited rates on existing business, curtailing sales of some products,
reassessment of the investment strategy with a focus on U.S. Treasury and investment
grade assets, as well as hedging certain funds which previously were not hedged and
continuing a hedging program to mitigate the impact of potential declines in equity
markets and their impact on regulatory capital. During 2010 and 2011, the Company
continued monitoring these initiatives and their impacts on earnings, capital, and
liquidity, and will continue to determine whether further actions are necessary.

ING Restructuring Plan: On October 26, 2009, ING announced the key components of
the final Restructuring Plan ING submitted to the European Commission (“EC”) as part
of the process to receive EC approval for the state aid granted to ING by the State of the
Netherlands (the "Dutch State") in the form of EUR 10 billion Core Tier 1 securities
issued on November 12, 2008 and the full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State of 80%
of ING's Alt-A RMBS on March 31, 2009 (the "ING-Dutch State Transaction"). As part
of the Restructuring Plan, ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance
businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance
and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that
it will explore all options for implementing the separation including initial public
offerings, sales or combinations thereof. In November 2009, the Restructuring Plan
received formal EC approval and the separation of insurance and banking operations and
other components of the Restructuring Plan were approved by ING shareholders. As part
of the Restructuring Plan, ING agreed to make additional payments to the Dutch State
corresponding to an adjustment of fees for the Back-Up Facility. Under this new
agreement, the terms of the ING-Dutch State Transaction which closed on March 31,
2009, including the transfer price of the Alt-A RMBS securities, remain unaltered and the
additional payments are not borne by the Company or any other ING U.S. subsidiaries.

  In January 2010, ING lodged an appeal with the General Court of the European Union
against specific elements of the EC’s decision regarding ING’s Restructuring Plan. In its
appeal, ING contests the way the EC has calculated the amount of state aid ING received,
and the disproportionality of the price leadership restrictions specifically, and the
disproportionality of restructuring requirements in general. In July 2011, the appeal case
was heard orally by the General Court of the European Union. By judgment of March 2,
2012, the Court partially annulled the EC’s decision of November 18, 2009, as a result of
which a new decision has to be taken by the EC. Interested parties can file an appeal
against the General Court’s judgment before the Court of Justice of the European Union
within two months and ten days after the date of the General Court’s judgment.

On November 10, 2010, ING announced that, in connection with the Restructuring Plan,
while the option of one global initial public offering (“IPO”) remains open, ING will
prepare for a base case of an initial public offering of the Company and its U.S.-based
insurance and investment management affiliates.

On August 19, 2011, Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) revised the Company’s Rating Watch
status to Evolving from Negative.

On November 17, 2011, S&P affirmed the “A” rating of the Company and revised the
outlook to Stable from Negative based on de-risking and improving business
fundamentals. On December 8, 2011, S&P downgraded the counterparty credit and
insurance financial strength rating of the Company to “A-“ from “A” and revised the
outlook to Watch Negative from Stable. On March 7, 2012, S&P affirmed the
counterparty credit and insurance financial strength rating of the Company at “A-“ and
revised the outlook t Stale from Watch Negative.

On December 7, 2011, Moody’s downgraded the insurance financial strength rating of
the Company to “A3” from “A2” and revised the outlook to Stable from Negative.

On December 14, 2011, A.M. Best affirmed the insurance financial strength rating of the
Company at “A”, downgraded the issuer credit rating to “a” from “a+” and revised the
outlook to Ratings Under Review with Negative Implications from Stable.

 
14.  Financing Agreements 
 
  The Company maintains a revolving loan agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, 
  (“Mellon"). Under this agreement, the Company can borrow up to $30.0 from Mellon. 
  Interest on any borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for 
  Mellon for the period applicable for the advance plus 0.35% or (2) a rate quoted by 
  Mellon to the Company for the borrowing. Under this agreement, the Company incurred 
  minimal interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 

 

63



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information
December 31, 2011

 

  respectively. Additionally, there were no amounts payable to Mellon at December 31,
2011 and 2010.

The Company maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH to promote efficient
management of cash and liquidity and to provide for unanticipated short-term cash
requirements. Under this agreement, which expires on February 21, 2012, 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 cash and short term investments. The
payable is recorded in borrowed money. Under this agreement, the Company received no
interest income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Through this reciprocal loan agreement, the Company had no borrowing in 2011;
borrowed $175.5 and repaid $175.5 in 2010, and had no borrowing in 2009. 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.
Interest expense on borrowed money was minimal during 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $15.0 million; terms of the
letters of credit provide for automatic renewal for the following year at December 31,
unless otherwise canceled or terminated by either part to the financing.

15. Related Party Transactions

Cost Sharing Arrangements: Management and services contracts and all cost sharing
arrangements with other affiliated ING United States companies are allocated among
companies in accordance with systematic cost allocation methods.

Investment Management: The Company has entered into an investment advisory
agreement with ING Investment Management, LLC (“IIM”) under which IIM provides
the Company with investment management services. The Company has entered into an
administrative services agreement with IIM under which IIM provides the Company with
asset liability management services. Beginning in 2010, IIM began using competitive
market rates to bill the Company for both the asset management and ancillary services it
provides. Total fees under the agreement were approximately $3.2, $2.7, and $2.1 for the
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Services Agreements: The Company has entered into a services agreement with each of
its affiliated insurers, ING North America and ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“ING FA”)
whereby the affiliated insurers, ING North America and ING FA, provide certain
administrative, management, professional, advisory, consulting and other services to the

64



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
Note to Other Financial Information

  Company. The total expenses incurred for all of these services were $38.4, $38.5 and
$38.4 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Tax Sharing Agreements: The Company has entered into federal tax sharing agreement
with members of an affiliated group as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. The agreement provides for the manner of calculation and
the amounts/timing of the payments between the parties as well as other related matters in
connection with the filing of consolidated federal income tax returns.

16. Guaranty Fund Assessments

Insurance companies are assessed the costs of funding the insolvencies of other insurance
companies by the various state guaranty associations, generally based on the amount of
premium companies collect in that state. The Company accrues for the cost of potential
future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance company insolvencies
provided by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty
Associations and the amount of premiums written in each state. The accrual
methodology follows a retrospective-premium-based guaranty-fund assessments
construct. The Company has estimated this liability to be $1.9 and $4.1 as of December
31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and has recorded a liability in accounts payable and
accrued expenses on the Balance Sheets. The Company has also recorded an asset in
other assets on the Balance Sheets of $0.3 and $0.2 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, for future credits to premium taxes for assessments already paid and/or
accrued.

17. Unpaid Accident and Health Claims

The change in the liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment
expenses is summarized as follows:

  2011  2010 
  (In Thousands) 
Balance at January 1  $ 17,404  $ 22,492 
Less reinsurance recoverables  1,430  1,046 
Net balance at January 1  15,974  21,446 
 
Incurred related to:     
Current year  32,073  26,376 
Prior years  1,168  (6,125) 
Total incurred  33,241  20,251 
 
Paid related to:     
Current year  17,317  18,556 
Prior years  8,967  7,167 
Total paid  26,284  25,723 
 
Net balance at December 31  22,931  15,974 
Plus reinsurance recoverables  866  1,430 
Balance at December 31  $ 23,797  $ 17,404 

 

  The change in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses attributable to insured events
of prior years is generally the result of ongoing analysis of recent loss development
trends. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes
known regarding individual claims.

The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is
included in accident and health reserves and policy and contract claims on the Balance
Sheets.

18. Retrospectively Rated Contracts

The Company estimates accrued retrospective premium adjustments for its group life
insurance business through a mathematical approach using an algorithm of the
Company’s underwriting rules and experience rating practices. The Company records
accrued retrospective premium as an adjustment to earned premium. The amount of net
group life premiums written by the Company that was subject to retrospective rating
features was $4.1, $3.0 and $3.6 for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
This represented 38.5%, 32.8% and 25.0% of the total net group life premium written for
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount of net group health
premiums written by the Company that was subject to retrospective rating features was
$0.1, $0.1, and $0.1 for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This
represented less than 1% of the total net group health premium in all three periods. No
other net premiums written by the Company are subject to retrospective rating features.

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 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 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, 2011, by correspondence with the transfer agents or
fund company. 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, 2011, 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.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
SEPARATE ACCOUNT NY-B
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.
(“ING”), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING has agreed to
separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this
separation by divestment of its insurance and investment management operations,
including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for
implementing the separation including one or more initial public offerings, sales, or a
combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that ING and its U.S.
insurance affiliates, including the Company, are preparing for a base case of an initial
public offering of the Company and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management
affiliates.

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 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. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the
Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of
RLNY.

At December 31, 2011, the Account had, under ING GoldenSelect, ING Empire, ING
Simplicity, ING Architect, and ING Rollover Contracts, 120 investment divisions (the
“Divisions”), 18 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 102 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”).

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.

  Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined
by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each
Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and
capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized
gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division 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
ReliaStar Life, 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
ReliaStar Life.

Contractowner Reserves

The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the 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, ReliaStar Life will contribute additional
funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required,
transfers may be made to ReliaStar Life. Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are
redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from Principal Transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net
Assets are items which relate to contract owner 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)
ReliaStar Life related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the
full responsibility for which is assumed by ReliaStar Life). Any net unsettled transactions
as of the reporting date are included in Payable to related parties on the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities.

  Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the
date the financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, were issued.

3.  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards 
 
  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements 
 
  In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting 
  Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 
  820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-06”), which 
  requires several new disclosures, as well as clarification to existing disclosures, as 
  follows: 
 
  §  Significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and 
    the reason for the transfers; 
  §  Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement, in the Level 3 fair value measurements 
    reconciliation on a gross basis; 
  §  Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e., 
    disaggregated); and 
  §  Valuation techniques and inputs for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value 
    measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. 
 
  The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were adopted by the Account on January 1, 2010, except 
  for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which were adopted by the 
  Account on January 1, 2011. The Account determined, however, that there was no effect 
  on the Account’s disclosures, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by 
  the Account and the Account has no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities. As the 
  pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the 
  Account’s net assets and results of operations. 
 
 
4.  Financial Instruments 
 
  The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to 
  purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values 
  (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, 
  which are obtained from the custodian and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund 
  investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange 
  and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities. 

 

92



RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT NY-B 
Notes to Financial Statements 

 

  The Account’s financial assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The
Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2011.

The Account categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the
priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level
1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure
fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the
lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
instrument.

§  Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active 
  market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions 
  take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on 
  an ongoing basis. 
§  Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that 
  require inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the 
  full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: 
  a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; 
  b)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active 
    markets; 
  c)  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and 
  d)  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market 
    data through correlation or other means. 
§  Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both 
  unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These 
  valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical 
  assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant 
  expectations in valuing the asset or liability. 

 

5. 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.

in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of

  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 4.00% of premiums.

  for contractowners who select the Optional Asset-Backed Premium Credit feature. 
 
 
6.  Related Party Transactions 
 
  During the year ended December 31, 2011, management and service fees were also paid

ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE
DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 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 April 3, 2012.

ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of February 29, 2012 there are 3,606 qualified contract owners and 1,976 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. Consistent with the laws of the State of New York, ING America Insurance Holdings,
Inc. maintains Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies issued by an international
insurer. The policies cover ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and any company in which ING
America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. These policies
include either or both the principal underwriter, the depositor and any/all assets under the care, custody
and control of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. The policies provide for the
following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, employment practices liability
and fidelity/crime (a/k/a “Financial Institutional Bond”).

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) In addition to the Registrant, Directed Services LLC serves as principal underwriter for all contracts
issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company through its Separate Accounts A, B and EQ
and Alger Separate Account A and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York through its Separate
Account NY-B. Also, Directed Services LLC serves as investment advisor to ING Investors Trust and
ING Partners, Inc.
