FIRST AMENDMENT TO FUND PATICIPATION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 24(b)(8.68) | ||
FIRST AMENDMENT | ||
TO FUND PATICIPATION AGREEMENT | ||
This First Amendment dated as of September 11, 2009 by and between ING Life Insurance and | ||
Annuity Company (formerly Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (“the Company”), and Xxxxxxx | ||
Xxxxx Trust (the “Fund”) and Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. (“Distributor”), is made to the Participation | ||
Agreement dated as of October 1, 2000. Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined. | ||
WHEREAS, the parties wish to make additional funds and fund share classes available under 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. | Paragraph 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in it entirety and replaced with the | |
following: | ||
3. | Servicing Fees: The provision of shareholder and administrative services | |
to the Plans shall be the responsibility of the Company and shall not be the responsibility | ||
of Distributor. The Nominee will be recognized as the sole shareholder of Fund shares | ||
purchased under this Agreement. It is further recognized that there will be a substantial | ||
savings in administrative expense and recordkeeping expenses by virtue of having one | ||
shareholder rather than multiple shareholders. In consideration of the administrative | ||
savings resulting from such arrangement, Distributor agrees to pay or cause to be paid an | ||
annual fee as specified in Schedule B (attached), based on the average net assets invested | ||
in the Funds through the Company’s Contracts in each calendar quarter. The servicing | ||
fees may include a sub-transfer agency fee, a service fee, and an additional fee paid from | ||
fund assets. All payments are for services provided by the Company. Within thirty (30) | ||
days after the end of each calendar quarter Distributor shall provide the Company with a | ||
statement showing the aggregate value of the Company’s accounts for the preceding | ||
quarter and include therewith a payment to the Company for the compensation due the | ||
Company in accordance with this paragraph. The Funds and/or Distributor may be | ||
responsible for the payment of all or a portion of the fees specified in Schedule B. | ||
2. | The following replaces Section 11(b) of the Agreement: | |
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be given or | ||
made in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by telex, facsimile, express | ||
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. | |

Subsection (b) shall be deemed to have been delivered on receipt. | |
3. | The following paragraph is added under Section 11 “Miscellaneous” of the Agreement: |
(k) Distributor acknowledges and agrees that due to systems limitations, the | |
Company is not able to deduct redemption fees that may otherwise be required by the | |
Funds; provided however that upon development of systematic capabilities to administer | |
redemption fees, or as otherwise requested by Distributor in writing, the Company will | |
implement such redemptions fees in a time frame and manner mutually acceptable to all | |
parties. The Company agrees that in the event redemption fees are not implemented in a | |
time frame and manner mutually acceptable to all parties, Distributor may remove from | |
the list of available Funds any Fund that assesses a redemption fee. | |
4. | Schedule B and Schedule C to the Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced by |
Schedule B, attached hereto. | |
5. | Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in |
full force and effect. | |
