*Principal delegated legal authority to execute this registration statement pursuant to Powers of Attorney. ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post Effective Amendment No. 6 to Registration Statement on Form N-4 for ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company Separate Account EQ as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2007 (File Nos. 333-111686, 811-08524). ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS As of November 30, 2007, there are 73,229 qualified contract owners and 39,273 non-qualified contract owners. ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION ING USA 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 ING USA 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. |
ING USA may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other person who is or was serving ING USA in any capacity. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to determine who may be indemnified under this paragraph and to what extent (not to exceed the extent provided in the above paragraph) any such person may be indemnified. A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director of the corporation. ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability umbrella insurance policy issued by an international insurer. The policy covers ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling interest of 50% or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor. Additionally, the parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains an excess umbrella cover with limits in excess of $125,000,000. The policy provides for the following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and fidelity. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In the event that a claim of such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person and the SEC is still of the same opinion, the Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy as expressed by the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. ITEM 29: PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER (a) At present, Directed Services LLC, the Registrant's Distributor, serves as principal underwriter for all contracts issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. Directed Services LLC is the principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B, ING USA Separate Account EQ, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B, Alger Separate Account A of ING USA and the ING Investors Trust. (b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal officers and directors of Directed Services LLC, the Registrant's Distributor. The principal business address for each officer and director following is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380-1478, unless otherwise noted. |

Members of the Board of Directors ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company 1475 Dunwoody Drive West Chester, PA 19380-1478 |
Ladies and Gentlemen: |
In my capacity as Counsel for ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (the Company), I have examined the Registration Statement on Form N-4 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to the date hereof, of an indefinite number of units of interest in Separate Account B of the Company (the Account). I am familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of units. Based upon my examination and upon my knowledge of the corporate activities relating to the Account, it is my opinion that: |
(1) | The Company was organized in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa and is a | |
duly authorized stock life insurance company under the laws of Iowa and the laws of | ||
those states in which the Company is admitted to do business; | ||
(2) | The Account is a validly established separate investment account of the Company; | |
(3) | Under Iowa law, the portion of the assets to be held in the Account equals the reserve and | |
other liabilities for variable benefits under variable annuity contracts to be issued by the | ||
Account, and such assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other | ||
business the Company conducts; | ||
(4) | The units and the variable annuity contracts will, when issued and sold in the manner | |
described in the registration statement, be legal and binding obligations of the Company | ||
and will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. |
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement. |
Sincerely, |
/s/ John S. Kreighbaum |
