First Amendment to the Selling and Services Agreement and Participation Agreement | ||
This First Amendment dated as of February 9, 2009 by and between ING Life Insurance and | ||
Annuity Company (“ING Life”), ING Institutional Plan Services, LLP (“ING Institutional”), ING Financial | ||
Advisers, LLC (“ING Financial”)(collectively “ING”) and American Beacon Advisers, Inc. (“Advisor, is | ||
made to the Selling and Services Agreement and Fund Participation Agreement dated as of June 27, 2008 | ||
(the “Agreement”). Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined. | ||
WHEREAS, the parties wish to add ING Institutional to the Agreement; and | ||
WHEREAS, the parties wish to make additional funds available under the Agreement. | ||
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants hereinafter | ||
contained, the parties agree as follows: | ||
1. | ING Institutional is hereby added to the Agreement as an additional recordkeeper, and all | |
provisions in the Agreement relating to ING Life in its capacity as a recordkeeper in connection with the | ||
investment by Plans in the Funds are hereby amended to refer to both ING Life and ING Institutional. The | ||
defined term “ING” in the Agreement is hereby amended to include ING Life, ING Institutional, and ING | ||
Financial. | ||
2. | Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the | |
following: | ||
2. | Omnibus Account. | |
The parties agree that, with respect to each Fund, three omnibus accounts, each | ||
held in the name of the Nominee, shall be maintained (the “Account” or collectively, the | ||
“Accounts”). One Account shall be maintained in connection with Plans for which ING | ||
Life shall provide various recordkeeping and other administrative services, and a second | ||
Account shall be maintained in connection with Plans for which ING Institutional shall | ||
provide various recordkeeping and other administrative services. A third Account held | ||
in the name of ING Life shall be maintained for those Plan assets directed for investment | ||
in the Fund through the Contracts. ING Institutional, as service agent for Plans, or ING | ||
Life, as service agent for Plans or issuer of the Contracts, shall facilitate purchase and | ||
sale transactions with respect to the Accounts in accordance with the Agreement. | ||
3. | Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with | |
the following: | ||
5. | Servicing Fees: | |
The provision of shareholder and administrative services to contract owners or to | ||
the Plans shall be the responsibility of ING Financial, ING Life, ING Institutional or the | ||
Nominee and shall not be the responsibility of Distributor or Advisor. The Nominee, or | ||
ING Life on behalf of its Separate Accounts, 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, Advisor agrees to pay to ING |
Life or ING Institutional, as appropriate, a servicing fee, as specified in Schedule C | ||
(attached), based on the average net assets invested in the Funds through the Contracts or | ||
through ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s arrangements with Plans in each calendar | ||
quarter. Advisor will make such payments to ING Life or ING Institutional within thirty | ||
(30) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Each payment will be accompanied by a | ||
statement showing the calculation of the fee payable to ING Life or ING Institutional for | ||
the quarter and such other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by ING Life | ||
or ING Institutional. If required by a Plan or by applicable law, ING Life or ING | ||
Institutional shall have the right to allocate to a Plan or to Participant accounts in a Plan | ||
all or a portion of such servicing fees, or to use servicing fees it collects from Advisor to | ||
offset other fees payable by the Plan to ING Life or ING Institutional. ING Life and ING | ||
Institutional acknowledge that Advisor is not a party to such allocation and ING Life and | ||
ING Institutional represent to Advisor that any allocation it undertakes will be done in | ||
accordance with applicable laws. | ||
6. | 12b-1 Fees. | |
To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Fund Shares or shareholder | ||
services related to Fund Shares, Advisor shall make quarterly payments to ING | ||
Financial, as specified in Schedule C (attached), based on the average net assets invested | ||
in the Funds through the Contracts or through ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s | ||
arrangements with Plans in each calendar quarter. Advisor will make such payments to | ||
ING Financial within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Each | ||
payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the fee payable | ||
to ING Financial for the quarter and such other supporting data as may be reasonably | ||
requested by ING Financial. If required by a Plan or by applicable law, ING Financial | ||
shall have the right to allocate to a Plan or to Participant accounts in a Plan all or a | ||
portion of such 12b-1 fees, or to use 12b-1 fees it collects from Advisor to offset other | ||
fees payable by the Plan to ING Financial. ING acknowledges that Advisor is not a party | ||
to such allocation and ING represents to Advisor that any allocation it undertakes will be | ||
done in accordance with applicable laws. | ||
4. | The following is added as Section 13(e) to the Agreement: | |
(d) Representations of ING Institutional. ING Institutional represents and warrants: | ||
(i) that it (1) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State | ||
of Delaware, (2) is in good standing in that jurisdiction, (3) is in material compliance | ||
