Exhibit 99-B.8.138 | ||||
Second Amendment to the Selling and Services Agreement and Participation Agreement | ||||
This Second Amendment dated as of February 18, 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”), Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. | ||||
(“Distributor”), and Columbia Management Services, Inc. (“Transfer Agent”), is made to the Selling and | ||||
Services Agreement and Fund Participation Agreement dated as of September 26, 2005 (the “Agreement”), | ||||
as amended on April 1, 2008. 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, including any representations and undertakings, 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. | Section 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, up to three omnibus accounts, | ||||
each held in the name of the Nominee, may be maintained (the “Account” or | ||||
collectively, the “Accounts”). One Account may be maintained in connection with Plans | ||||
for which ING Life shall provide various recordkeeping and other administrative | ||||
services, and a second Account may be maintained in connection with Plans for which | ||||
ING Institutional shall provide various recordkeeping and other administrative services. | ||||
Alternatively, one Account may be maintained in connection with Plans for which both | ||||
ING Life and ING Institutional shall provide such recordkeeping and 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. | Sections 4 and 5 of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the | |||
following: | ||||
4. | 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 Transfer Agent. 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 |
#1567882 v1
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, Transfer Agent 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. Transfer Agent will make such payments to ING Life or ING Institutional | ||||
within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter. If required by a Plan or by | ||||
applicable law, Transfer Agent acknowledges that 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 Transfer Agent to offset | ||||
other fees payable by the Plan to ING Life or ING Institutional. Transfer Agent’s | ||||
liability to ING for the payment of a distribution or service fee related to a Fund for any | ||||
period is limited solely to the proceeds of that Fund’s distribution or service fee actually | ||||
received by Transfer Agent for such period. Transfer Agent may stop paying distribution | ||||
and service fees for and Fund at any time without notice to ING. Each Fund reserves the | ||||
right to establish and change minimum asset amounts at the representative’s level and | ||||
dealer level as conditions for its obligations to pay service fees. | ||||
You agree to disclose your compensation under this Agreement, together with any other | ||||
compensation you receive in connection with your customers’ investments in Fund | ||||
shares, to your customers as required by applicable law and to the extent necessary to | ||||
ensure that your customers fully understand all such compensation and any conflicts of | ||||
interest related to your receipt of such compensation. You also agree and warrant that | ||||
your customers will authorize your compensation to the extent required by applicable | ||||
law. | ||||
5. | 12b-1 Fees. | |||
Subject to Section 4 and the Fund prospectus, to compensate ING Financial for | ||||
its distribution of Fund Shares, Distributor 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. Distributor will make such payments | ||||
to ING Financial within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month. 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. Distributor acknowledges that, 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 | ||||
Distributor to offset other fees payable by the Plan to ING Financial. | ||||
4. | The following is added as Section 14(d) 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 | ||||
with all applicable federal and state laws, (4) is duly licensed and authorized to conduct | ||||
business in every jurisdiction where such license or authorization is required, and will |
#1567882 v1
maintain such license or authorization in effect at all times during the term of this |
Agreement, and (5) has full authority to enter into this Agreement and carry out its |
obligations pursuant to it terms; and |
(ii) that it is authorized under the Plans to (1) provide administrative services to |
the Plans and (2) facilitate transactions in the Fund through the Account. |
5. The following replaces Section 16(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 |
