The ING USA Global Funding Trust designated above (the “Trust”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the Principal Amount specified above on the Stated Maturity Date specified above and, if so specified above, to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date specified above to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof and as specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Unless otherwise specified above, payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest hereon will be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America (“U.S. Dollars” or “United States Dollars”). If the Specified Currency specified above is other than U.S. Dollars, the Holder (as defined in the Indenture) shall receive such payments in such Foreign Currency (as hereinafter defined). The “Principal Amount” of this Note at any time means (1) if this Note is a Discount Note (as defined in section 3(c) on the reverse hereof), the Amortized Face Amount (as hereinafter defined) at such time and (2) in all other cases, the Principal Amount hereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have their meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated as of the date of the Pricing Supplement (the “Indenture”), between Citibank, N.A., as the indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and the Trust, or on the face hereof.

This Note will mature on the Stated Maturity Date, unless its principal (or any installment of its principal) becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date, whether, as applicable, by the declaration of acceleration of maturity, notice of redemption by the Trust or otherwise (the Stated Maturity Date or any date prior to the Stated Maturity Date on which this Note becomes due and payable, as the case may be, is referred to as the “Maturity Date”).

A “Discount Note” is any Note that has an Issue Price that is less than 100% of the Principal Amount thereof by a percentage that is equal to or greater than 0.25% multiplied by the product of the principal amount of the Notes and the number of full years to the Stated Maturity Date.

Unless otherwise specified above, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

Unless otherwise specified above, the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, which Regular Record Date shall be the fifteenth (15^th) calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date; provided that, notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture to the contrary, interest payable on any Maturity Date shall be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable; and provided, further, that unless otherwise specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder on such next succeeding Regular Record Date.

Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due and owing, if any, will be made through the Indenture Trustee to the account of DTC or its nominee and will be made in accordance with depositary arrangements with DTC.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Holder hereof will not be obligated to pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately available funds by the Trust. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any tax assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne by the Holder hereof.

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under such Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused this instrument to be duly executed, by manual or facsimile signature.

[REVERSE FORM OF NOTE]

Section 1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Trust. The Notes are issued pursuant to the Indenture.

Section 2. Currency.

(a) Unless specified otherwise on the face hereof, this Note is denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, will be made in U.S. Dollars. If specified as the Specified Currency, this Note may be denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, may be made in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars (a “Foreign Currency”). If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Holder of this Note is required to pay for this Note in the Specified Currency.

(b) Unless specified otherwise on the face hereof, if this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Trust is obligated to make payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, this Note in the Specified Currency. Any amounts so payable by the Trust in the Specified Currency will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent into U.S. Dollars for payment to the Holder hereof unless otherwise specified on the face of this Note or the Holder elects, in the manner described below, to receive these amounts in the Specified Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, any U.S. Dollar amount to be received by the Holder hereof will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Trust for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. Dollars for settlement on that payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of the Notes scheduled to receive U.S. Dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holders of the Notes by deductions from any payments. If three bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the Specified Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. This written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. This election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice delivered to the Indenture Trustee on or prior to a Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. The Holder of a Note denominated in a Foreign Currency to be held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact their broker or nominee to determine whether and how an election to receive payments in the Specified Currency may be made. Unless specified otherwise on the face hereof, if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. Dollars, a beneficial owner of a Note represented by a global security which elects to receive payments

of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in the Specified Currency must notify the participant through which it owns its interest on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be, of its election. The applicable participant must notify DTC of its election on or prior to the third Business Day after the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 12 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and DTC will notify the Indenture Trustee of that election on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the applicable Regular Record Date or at least ten calendar days prior the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by the participant from the applicable beneficial owner and forwarded by the participant to DTC, and by DTC to the Indenture Trustee, on or prior to such dates, then the applicable beneficial owner will receive payments in the Specified Currency.

(c) The Trust will indemnify the Holder hereof against any loss incurred as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Note and that judgment or order requiring payment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the Specified Currency, and as a result of any variation between: (i) the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of that judgment or order; and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Holder, on the date of payment of that judgment or order, is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received.

(d) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if payment hereon is required to be made in a Foreign Currency and such currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Trust’s control, then the Trust will be entitled to make payments with respect hereto in U.S. Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as hereinafter defined), computed by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to the particular payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate.

(e) The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Foreign Currency shall mean the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Foreign Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

(f) All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof.

(g) All costs of exchange in respect of this Note, if denominated in a Foreign Currency, will be borne by the Holder hereof.

Section 3. Determination of Interest Rate and Certain Other Terms.

(a)

Fixed Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Fixed Rate Note”:

(i) This Note will bear interest at the rate per annum specified on the face hereof. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(ii) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment Dates for this Note will be as follows:


Interest Payment Frequency		Interest Payment Dates

Semi-annual		Fifteenth day of every sixth calendar month, beginning in the sixth calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

Annual		Fifteenth day of every twelfth calendar month, beginning in the twelfth calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

(iii) If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or other amounts on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.

(b)

Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate Note”:

(i) Interest Rate Basis. Interest on this Note will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, which may, as described below, include the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR, the Prime Rate or the Treasury Rate (each as defined below).

(ii) Effective Rate. The rate derived from the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be determined in accordance with the related provisions below. The interest rate in effect on each day will be based on: (1) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding that Interest Reset Date; or (2) if that day is not an

Interest Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date.

(iii) Spread; Spread Multiplier; Index Maturity. The “Spread” is the number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified on the face hereof to be added to or subtracted from the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this Note. The “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified on the face hereof of the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this Note by which the Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest rate. The “Index Maturity” is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be calculated.

(iv) Regular Floating Rate Note. Unless this Note is specified on the face hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, a Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Note or an Inverse Floating Rate Note, this Note (a “Regular Floating Rate Note”) will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Regular Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(v) Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which this Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that: (A) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof; and (B) the interest rate in effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if specified on the face hereof, or, if not so specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which this Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date.

(vii) Inverse Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, this Note will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any; provided, however, that interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(viii) Interest Reset Dates. The period between Interest Reset Dates will be the “Interest Reset Period.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of this Floating Rate Note if by its terms it resets: (1) daily—each business day; (2) weekly—the Wednesday of each week, with the exception of any weekly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset the Tuesday of each week; (3) monthly—the fifteenth day of each calendar month, with the exception of any monthly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset on the first calendar day of the month; (4) quarterly—the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year; (5) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and (6) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that, with respect to a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, the rate of interest thereon will not reset after the particular Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If any Interest Reset Date for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the particular Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

the related Interest Reset Date; (4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the second U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date, provided, however, that if after attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate is not determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date, then such Interest Determination Date shall be the first U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the original interest determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can be determined; (5) with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate—the last working day of the month immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco publishes the Eleventh District Index (as defined below); (6) with respect to LIBOR and EURIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (7) with respect to the Treasury Rate—the day of the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the LIBOR Currency) in London.

(x) Calculation Dates. The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to LIBOR, EURIBOR and the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, which will be determined on the particular Interest Determination Date. Upon request of the Holder of a Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The “Calculation Date”, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of: (1) the tenth calendar day after the particular Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; or (2) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

Floating Rate Note cannot ever exceed such Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would exceed such Maximum Interest Rate (as if no Maximum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Maximum Interest Rate. If a Minimum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such Minimum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would be less than such Minimum Interest Rate (as if no Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest rate on a Floating Rate Note shall not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.

(xii) Interest Payments. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment Dates will be, in the case of a Floating Rate Note which resets: (1) daily, weekly or monthly—the fifteenth day of each calendar month or on the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified on the face hereof; (2) quarterly—the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year; (3) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and (4) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year as specified on the face hereof. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.

(xiii) Rounding. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages resulting from any calculation on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded, in the case of U.S. Dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Foreign Currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of Notes that bear interest at floating rates as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31^st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day other than the 30^th or 31^st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified above applied.

(xv) Determination of Interest Rate Basis. The Calculation Agent shall determine the rate derived from each Interest Rate Basis in accordance with the following provisions.

negotiable United States certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the particular Index Maturity in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; or (4) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (3), the CD Rate in effect on the particular Interest Determination Date. “H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. “H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/X00/ update, or any successor site or publication.

(B) CMT Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate, this Note shall be deemed a “CMT Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “CMT Rate” means:

(1) if CMT Telerate Page 7051 is specified on the face hereof:

	i.		the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, as the yield is displayed on Telerate (or any successor service) on page 7051 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (“Telerate Page 7051”), for the particular Interest Determination Date; or

	ii.		if the rate referred to in clause (i) does not so appear on Telerate Page 7051, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the particular Index Maturity and for the particular Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”; or

	iii.		if the rate referred to in clause (ii) does not so appear in H.15(519), the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for the period of the particular Index Maturity as may then be published by either the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519); or

EXTENSION ELECTION / CONTINGENT REDEMPTION:

This Note will mature on the Initial Stated Maturity Date, unless the maturity of all or a portion of the Principal Amount of this Note is extended in accordance with the procedures described below. In no event shall the maturity of this Note be extended beyond the Final Stated Maturity Date.

During a notice period relating to an Election Date (as defined below), the holder of this Note may elect to extend the maturity of all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note (in Authorized Denominations) so that the maturity of this Note will be extended to the Corresponding Maturity Date (as defined below) for the immediately following Election Date; provided, however, that if such Corresponding Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the maturity of this Note will be the immediately succeeding Business Day. The Election Dates will take place quarterly on the 29^th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 29, 2006 and ending on June 29, 2014, except that if any Election Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Election Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. The respective Corresponding Maturity Date for each Election Date is the 29^th day of the calendar month which is three calendar months after (1) the Initial Stated Maturity Date (in the case of an initial extension of maturity) or (2) any later date to which the Stated Maturity Date of this Note has previously been extended (the “Corresponding Maturity Date”). If the holder of this Note fails to make an effective election to extend all or a portion of the maturity of this Note, the Stated Maturity Date of this Note (or portion thereof) will be the Corresponding Maturity Date for the immediately preceding Election Date. For example, if the holder of this Note fails to

make an effective election to extend a portion of this Note on the Election Date occurring in December 2006, such portion will mature on December 29, 2008. Similarly, if the holder of this Note elects to extend a portion of this Note on the Election Date occurring in December 2006, such portion of this Note will then be scheduled to mature (barring a subsequent valid election) on March 29, 2009.

To make an effective election on any Election Date, the holder of this Note must deliver a notice of election substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Election Notice”) during the notice period for such Election Date. The notice period for an Election Date begins on the 10^th Business Day immediately preceding the Election Date and ends on the Election Date. The holder of this Note must deliver the Election Notice to the Paying Agent through the normal clearing system channels (described in more detail below), no later than the close of business in New York City on the last Business Day in the notice period, at which time such Election Notice becomes irrevocable.

If, with respect to any Election Date, the holder of this Note does not make an election to extend the maturity of all or a portion of the Principal Amount of this Note, the Principal Amount of this Note will become due and payable on the earlier of the Initial Stated Maturity Date or such later Corresponding Maturity Date related to the relevant Election Date on which this Note was not extended. The Principal Amount of this Note for which such election is not exercised will be represented by a new Note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Short-Term Note”) issued on such Election Date and Schedule A hereto shall be annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the Principal Amount hereof. The new Note so issued will have the same terms as this Note, except that it will not be extendible, will have a separate CUSIP number, will be subject to Contingent Redemption (as defined below) and its maturity date will be the earlier of the Initial Stated Maturity Date or such later Corresponding Maturity Date related to the relevant Election Date on which this Note was not extended. The failure to elect to extend the maturity of all or any portion of this Note will be irrevocable and will be binding upon any subsequent holder of this Note.

If an effective election to extend the maturity of all or any portion of this Note has not been received, the Trust may elect to redeem this Note, or such portion thereof, as applicable, on any Interest Payment Date occurring prior to the Final Stated Maturity Date, if any (a “Contingent Redemption”), upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the holder of this Note. The Trust will redeem this Note at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust will elect to redeem this Note solely upon the election of ING USA to redeem a corresponding amount under the Funding Agreement.

This Note will be issued in registered global form and will remain on deposit with DTC, the depositary for this Note. Therefore, the holder of this Note must exercise the option to extend the maturity of this Note through the depositary. To ensure that the depositary receives timely notice of an election to extend the maturity of all or a portion of

this Note by the holder of this Note so that the depositary can deliver notice of such election to Citibank, N.A., as paying agent, prior to the close of business in New York City on the last Business Day in the notice period, the holder of this Note must instruct the direct or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in this Note in accordance with the then applicable operating procedures of the depositary.

The depositary must receive any notice of election from its participants no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the last Business Day in the notice period for the depositary to deliver timely notice of the election by the holder of this Note to Citibank, N.A., as paying agent. Different firms have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. The holder of this Note should consult the direct or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in this Note to ascertain the deadline for ensuring that timely notice will be delivered to the depositary.

calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be, of its election. The applicable participant must notify DTC of its election on or prior to the third Business Day after the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 12 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and DTC will notify the Indenture Trustee of that election on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the applicable Regular Record Date or at least ten calendar days prior the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by the participant from the applicable beneficial owner and forwarded by the participant to DTC, and by DTC to the Indenture Trustee, on or prior to such dates, then the applicable beneficial owner will receive payments in the Specified Currency.

(f) All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof.

(g) All costs of exchange in respect of this Note, if denominated in a Foreign Currency, will be borne by the Holder hereof.

Section 3. Determination of Interest Rate and Certain Other Terms.

(a)

Fixed Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Fixed Rate Note”:

(i) This Note will bear interest at the rate per annum specified on the face hereof. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(ii) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment Dates for this Note will be as follows:


Interest Payment Frequency		Interest Payment Dates
Monthly		Fifteenth day of each calendar month, beginning in the first calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

Quarterly		Fifteenth day of every third calendar month, beginning in the third calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

Semi-annual		Fifteenth day of every sixth calendar month, beginning in the sixth calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

Annual		Fifteenth day of every twelfth calendar month, beginning in the twelfth calendar month following the month this Note was issued.

(b)

Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate Note”:

(iii) Spread; Spread Multiplier; Index Maturity. The “Spread” is the number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified on the face hereof

to be added to or subtracted from the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this Note. The “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified on the face hereof of the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this Note by which the Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest rate. The “Index Maturity” is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be calculated.

(vi) Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Note”, this Note will bear interest at the rate per annum specified on the face hereof as the Fixed Interest Rate; provided, however, that commencing on the Floating Rate Commencement Date, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which this Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date.

interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(ix) Interest Determination Dates. The interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the particular “Interest Determination Date”, which will be: (1) with respect to the Federal Funds Open Rate—the related Interest Reset Date; (2) with respect to the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate—the Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate—the second Business Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the second U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date, provided, however, that if after attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate is not determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date, then such Interest Determination Date shall be the first U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the original interest determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can be determined; (5) with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate—the last working day of the month immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco publishes the Eleventh District Index (as defined below); (6) with respect to LIBOR and EURIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined

below) preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (7) with respect to the Treasury Rate—the day of the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the LIBOR Currency) in London.

(xi) Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate. If specified on the face hereof, this Note may have either or both of a Maximum Interest Rate or a Minimum Interest Rate. If a Maximum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever exceed such Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would exceed such Maximum Interest Rate (as if no Maximum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Maximum Interest Rate. If a Minimum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such Minimum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would be less than such Minimum Interest Rate (as if no Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest rate on a Floating Rate Note shall not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.

of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified on the face hereof; (2) quarterly—the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year; (3) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and (4) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year as specified on the face hereof. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.

(xiv) Interest Factor. With respect to this Floating Rate Note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of such Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of Notes that bear interest at floating rates as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31^st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day other than the 30^th or 31^st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two

or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified above applied.

(xv) Determination of Interest Rate Basis. The Calculation Agent shall determine the rate derived from each Interest Rate Basis in accordance with the following provisions.

(A) CD Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, this Note shall be deemed a “CD Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “CD Rate” means: (1) the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”; or (2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the particular Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”; or (3) if the rate referred to in clause (2) is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York (which may include the purchasing agent or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable United States certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the particular Index Maturity in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; or (4) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (3), the CD Rate in effect on the particular Interest Determination Date. “H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. “H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/X00/ update, or any successor site or publication.

(B) CMT Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate, this Note shall be deemed a “CMT Rate Note.” Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “CMT Rate” means:

(1) if CMT Telerate Page 7051 is specified on the face hereof:

the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the

Discount Notes. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Discount Note”:

(ii) Redemption; Repayment; Acceleration. In the event a Discount Note is redeemed, repaid or accelerated, the amount payable to the Holder of such Discount Note will be equal to the sum of: (A) the Issue Price (increased by any accruals of Discount) and, in the event of any redemption of such Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable); and (B) any unpaid interest accrued on such Discount Note to the Maturity Date (“Amortized Face Amount”). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, for purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for a Discount Note, a Discount will be

accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates for the applicable Discount Note (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial coupon rate applicable to the applicable Discount Note and an assumption that the maturity of such Discount Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Payment Date for a Discount Note (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for such Discount Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided above.

Section 4. Redemption. If no redemption right is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date, except as set forth in this Note, in the Indenture or in Section 10 hereof.

The unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed shall be determined by multiplying (1) the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note by (2) the quotient derived by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount of the Funding Agreement to be redeemed by ING USA by (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Funding Agreement. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, applicable to this Note shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount equal to the applicable Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is equal to 100% of the unpaid amount thereof to be redeemed. Notice must be given not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the proposed Redemption Date. In

the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. If less than all of this Note is redeemed, the Indenture Trustee will select by lot or, in its discretion, on a pro rata basis, the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the Trust to be redeemed.
