Exhibit 1.A(3)(b)(i)
SCHEDULE SB-1
COMPENSATION SCHEDULE
TO SELLING AGREEMENT FOR XXXXXXX XXXXX
STRATEGIC BENEFIT VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE
This Schedule is an attachment effective as of May 1, 2000 to the ING America
Equities, Inc. ("ING America Equities") Selling Agreement by and among the
parties pursuant to paragraph 17 of that Selling Agreement. The provisions of
this Schedule shall apply only to ING Security Life's Strategic Benefit Variable
Universal Life policies solicited and issued while this Schedule is in effect.
All compensation payable under this Schedule shall be subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein at the time of issue of the policy by ING Security
Life of Denver Insurance Company ("ING Security Life").
1. Commission Structure:
Commissions are payable on premiums paid in the first year up to the
target premium only. No commissions are paid on premium in excess of
the target premium. Any time a new coverage segment is created,
premiums allocated to that segment in its first year will be
commissionable up to that segment's target premium. The commission
rates as a percent of target premium are:
------------------------------- ---------------------------
POLICY YEAR OF COVERAGE SEGMENT COMMISSION RATE
------------------------------- ---------------------------
1 5%
------------------------------- ---------------------------
2+ 0%
------------------------------- ---------------------------
Premiums received within 15 days prior to policy anniversary will
result in the agent receiving commissions at the same rate as if the
premium was paid on the anniversary date.
If this product is sold with a maximum ATR coverage, the target premium
could be zero which would result in no commissions payable other than
the annual trail commission described in section 2 below.
2. Trail Commissions: are paid as a percent of the net account value. The
trail commission is calculated monthly based on the net account value
at the end of the prior month. It is paid at the end of the policy
year, provided the policy remains in force at that time and is not
subject to the grace period provisions. The trail commissions will
continue when the insured lives past age 100 and the continuation of
coverage feature is in force. The annual trail commission rates are
given below.

3. Riders: The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is not
commissionable.
4. Commission Calculation: Commissions shall be calculated only on premium
actually received and accepted by ING Security Life. Commissions shall
be paid only on an earned basis. Outstanding loan amounts carried over
are not considered commissionable premium.
5. Premium Allocation: If the Stated Death Benefit has been increased
since the policy date, premiums received are allocated to the coverage
segments in the same proportion that the commission target premium for
each segment bears to the total commission target premium of the
policy.
6. Death Benefit Increases: If a premium payment accompanies a request for
a Stated Death Benefit increase or is received while a request is
pending, the payment will be applied to the policy but commissions
shall not be payable until the increase is effective. The commission
shall then be payable based on the premium being allocated among all
segments as it would normally and the new target premium after the
increase.
7. Compensation Payments: Compensation on initial premium shall be due to
the Selling Broker-Dealer at the time of the issuance of the policy and
for all other premium payments at the time of the receipt and
acceptance of premium by ING Security Life, except that the amount, if
any, and the time of payment of compensation on stated death benefit
increases, replacements, reissues, changes, conversions, exchanges,
term renewals, term conversions, premiums paid in advance, policies
issued on a "guaranteed issue" basis, policies requiring facultative
reinsurance arrangements, and other special cases and programs shall be
governed by ING Security Life's underwriting and administrative rules
then in effect. The Compensation shall be payable to the Selling
Broker-Dealer in accordance with the Schedule I in effect at the time
of issue of the policy.
8. Commission Chargeback: In the event that a policy for which a
commission has been paid is lapsed or surrendered by the Policy Owner
or has a reduction in the Stated Death Benefit during the first three
years or is returned to ING Security Life for refund of premium during
the Free Look Period as described in the policy, ING Security Life and
ING America Equities shall require reimbursement of from Selling
