A list of all persons directly or indirectly under common control with ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio is incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 33-81216), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2001.

ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION

Article 5.3 of ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, provides the following:

5.3 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify its Trustees and officers, and any person who serves at the request of the Trust as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise as follows:

(a) Every person who is or has been a Trustee or officer of the Trust and persons who serve at the Trust’s request as director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid in connection with any debt, claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, judgment, decree, liability or obligation of any kind in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of being or having been a Trustee or officer of the Trust or of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the Trust and against amounts paid or incurred in the settlement thereof.

(b) The words “claim,” “action,” “suit” or “proceeding” shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other, including appeals), actual or threatened, and the words “liability” and “expenses” shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other liabilities.

(c) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Trustee, officer, employee or agent against any liability to the Trust, a Series thereof, or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of office.

(d) The right of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Trustee, officer, employee or agent may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such Trustee, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(e) In the absence of a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before which such proceeding was brought, an indemnification payment will not be made, except as provided in paragraph (f) of this Article, unless in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination based upon a factual review has been made (1) by a majority vote of a quorum of non-party Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, or (2) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that the indemnitee was not liable for an act of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties.

(f) The Trust further undertakes that advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of a proceeding (upon undertaking for repayment unless it is ultimately determined that indemnification is appropriate) against a Trustee or officer of the Trust will not be made absent the fulfillment of at least one of the following conditions: (i) the indemnitee provides security for this undertaking, (ii) the Trust is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances or (iii) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party Trustees or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall have determined, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe the indemnitee ultimately will be entitled to indemnification.

(g) No amendment of this Declaration or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the rights of indemnification provided hereunder with respect to acts or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

In addition, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio’s officers and Trustees are currently covered under a directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance policy issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company, which expires October 1, 2009.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
