3. The Footnotes to "Fund Expense Table" added to the Contract Prospectus by supplement dated August 10, 2005 are amended by deleting footnote (20) and replacing it with the following footnote (20), and adding the following footnote (21):

 

(20) The amounts shown are estimated operating expenses for Class S shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets. Operating expenses for each Portfolio are estimated as they had not commenced operations as of December 31, 2004. Other Expenses for each Portfolio include a Shareholder Services fee of 0.25%. Effective September 23, 2005, the management fee structure for ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value Portfolio has been revised. Through a "bundled fee" arrangement, DSI, the Trust's manager, is paid a single fee for advisory, administrative, custodial, transfer agency, auditing and legal services necessary for the ordinary operation of the Portfolios. The Portfolios would also bear any extraordinary expenses. Other Expenses for each Portfolio are estimated because the Portfolio did not have a full calendar year of operations as of December 31, 2004 (the Portfolio's fiscal year end).

 

(21) Directed Services, Inc. (DSI), the adviser, has entered into a written expense limitation agreement with respect to ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value Portfolio under which it will limit expenses of the Portfolio, excluding taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, subject to possible recoupment by DSI within three years. The amount of the Portfolio's expenses that are proposed to be waived or reimbursed in the ensuing fiscal year is shown under the heading Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed. The expense limitation agreement will continue through at least September 23, 2007. For further information regarding the expense limitation agreements, see the Fund's prospectus. Pursuant to a side agreement effective September 23, 2005, DSI has effected an expense limit for ING Pioneer Fund Portfolio through September 23, 2007. There is no guarantee that this side agreement will continue after that date. This side agreement will only renew if DSI elects to renew it.
