Plan Services, LLC (“ING Institutional”), ING Financial Advisers, LLC (formerly Aetna Investment
Services, Inc.)(“ING Financial”)(collectively “ING”), and each of the investment companies comprising the
Lord Abbett Family of Funds, whether existing at the date of this Amendment or established subsequent
thereto, including each separate investment portfolio (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), Lord
Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”), and Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC, (“Adviser”), is made to the
Selling and Services Agreement dated as of March 1, 2001 (the “Agreement”) as amended on July 25, 2002,
September 26, 2003, September 1, 2004, October 1, 2007, August 12, 2008, and August 31, 2008. Terms
defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
WHEREAS, the parties wish to add ING Institutional to the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend certain other provisions of the Agreement, as provided
below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, the parties agree as follows:
1.	ING Institutional is hereby added to the Agreement as an additional recordkeeper, and all
provisions relating to ING Life in the Agreement are hereby amended to refer to both ING Life and ING
Institutional. The defined term “ING” in the Agreement is hereby amended to include ING Life, ING
Institutional, and ING Financial.
2.	Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
	2.	Omnibus Account.
		The parties agree that up to two omnibus accounts, each held in the name of the
	Nominee, may be maintained for those Plan assets directed for investment in the Funds
	(“Account” or “Accounts"). One such omnibus account may be maintained in
	connection with Plans for which ING Life is providing various recordkeeping and
	recordkeeping-related administrative services, and the other such omnibus account may
	be maintained in connection with Plans for which ING Institutional is providing various
	recordkeeping and recordkeeping-related administrative services. Alternatively, one
	Account may be maintained in connection with Plans for which both ING Life and ING
	Institutional shall provide such recordkeeping and administrative services. Accounts
	shall be separate and distinct from those ING Institutional accounts (both omnibus and
	per Plan accounts) covered under the Services Agreement, dated January 1, 2008, by and
	between ING Institutional Plan Services, LLC (f/k/a CitiStreet LLC), ING Investment
	Advisors, LLC (f/k/a CitiStreet Advisors LLC), Lord Abbett Distributor LLC and the
	Funds (the “Legacy Agreement”). ING Life or ING Institutional, as service agents for
	the Plans, shall facilitate purchase and sale transactions with respect to the Account in
	accordance with the Agreement.
3.	Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with
the following:
		4.	Recordkeeping Fees: The provision of recordkeeping and recordkeeping-
	related services to the Plans shall be the responsibility of ING Life and ING Institutional,

	and shall not be the responsibility of Distributor or the Funds. In consideration of the
	recordkeeping services and recordkeeping-related services provided by ING under the
	Agreement, the Funds agree to pay or cause to be paid an annual fee as specified in
	Exhibit A (attached), based on the average net assets invested in the Funds through ING
	Life’s or ING Institutional’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. Such
	fees shall apply only with respect to the Account or Accounts and not accounts covered
	by the Legacy Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter
	the Funds shall provide ING Life or ING Institutional with a statement showing the
	aggregate value of ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s accounts for the preceding quarter
	and include therewith a payment to ING Life or ING Institutional for the compensation
	due ING Life or ING Institutional in accordance with this paragraph.
	5.	Service and Distribution Fees. To compensate ING Financial for its
	servicing of shareholders and distribution of certain Fund shares, Distributor, shall make
	quarterly payments to ING Financial, as specified in Exhibit A (attached), based on the
	average net assets invested in Fund shares through ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s
	arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. Such fees shall apply only with
	respect to the Account or Accounts and not accounts covered by the Legacy Agreement.
	Distributor will make such payments to ING Financial within thirty (30) days after the
	end of each of January, April, July and October. Each payment will be accompanied by
	a statement showing the calculation of the fee payable to ING Financial for the quarter
	and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by ING Financial.
	Service and distribution fees payable under this Section 5 are derived from payments
	made to Distributor under the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plans (“Plans”). Plans are subject to
	termination or discontinuation at any time. Thus, Distributor’s duty to make such
	payments is subject to the continuation of the Plans and Distributor’s receipt of Plan
	payments from the Funds. Any payments will be made in the amount and manner set
	forth in the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of payments issued by the
	Distributor or the Funds and then in effect. Upon notice to ING, the Distributor or the
	Funds may change or discontinue any schedule of payments, or issue a new schedule.
4.	The following is added as Section 12(d) to the Agreement:
	(d) Representations of ING Institutional. ING Institutional represents and
	warrants:
	(i) that it (1) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State
	of Delaware, (2) is in good standing in that jurisdiction, (3) is in material compliance
	with all applicable federal and state laws, (4) is duly licensed and authorized to conduct
	business in every jurisdiction where such license or authorization is required, and will
	maintain such license or authorization in effect at all times during the term of this
	Agreement, and (5) has full authority to enter into this Agreement and carry out its
	obligations pursuant to it terms; and
	(ii) that it is authorized under the Plans to (1) provide administrative services to
	the Plans and (2) facilitate transactions in the Fund through the Account.

5.	The following replaces Section 14(b) of the Agreement:

	delivery or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the
	party or parties to whom they are directed at the following address, or at such other
	addresses as may be designated by notice from such party to all other parties.
