SECOND AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT
Exhibit 24(b)(8.71) | ||
SECOND AMENDMENT | ||
TO SERVICES AGREEMENT | ||
This Second Amendment dated as of July 29, 2009 by and between ING Life Insurance and | ||
Annuity Company (formerly Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (“ING Life”), ING Institutional | ||
Plan Services, LLP (“ING Institutional”), ING Financial Advisers, LLC (formerly Aetna Investment | ||
Services, Inc.)(“ING Financial”)(collectively “ING”), and Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. (“Distributor”), is made to | ||
the Services Agreement dated as of May 1, 1999, as amended on September 1, 2004. 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 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. | ING Institutional is hereby added to the Agreement as an additional recordkeeper, and all | |
provisions relating to ING Life in the Agreement 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 up to two omnibus accounts, each held in the name of the | ||
Nominee, may be maintained for those Plan assets directed for investment in the Funds | ||
(“Account” or “Accounts"). One such omnibus account may be maintained in | ||
connection with Plans for which ING Life is providing various recordkeeping and other | ||
administrative services, and the other such omnibus account may be maintained in | ||
connection with Plans for which ING Institutional is providing 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. ING Life or ING Institutional, as service | ||
agents for the Plans, shall facilitate purchase and sale transactions with respect to the | ||
Account in accordance with the Agreement, and shall perform some of all of the services | ||
as set forth in Exhibit I in their capacity as service agents for the Plans. | ||
3. | Paragraph 4 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the | |
following: |
4. | Servicing Fees: The provision of shareholder and administrative services | |
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. 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 | ||
Exhibit III (attached), based on the average net assets invested in the Funds through ING | ||
Life’s or ING Institutional’s arrangements with Plans 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 ING Life and/or ING | ||
Institutional. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter Distributor | ||
shall provide ING Life or ING Institutional with a statement showing the aggregate value | ||
of ING Life’s or ING Institutional’s accounts for the preceding quarter and include | ||
therewith a payment to ING Life or ING Institutional for the compensation due ING Life | ||
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 Exhibit III. | ||
4. | The following is added as Section 11(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 | ||
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 15(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. | ||

6. | The following paragraph is added under Section 15 “Miscellaneous” of the Agreement: |
(h) Distributor acknowledges and agrees that due to systems limitations, ING | |
Life and ING Institutional are 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, ING Life and ING Institutional will implement such redemptions fees in a time | |
frame and manner mutually acceptable to all parties. ING Life and ING Institutional | |
agree 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. | |
7. | Exhibit III to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced by Exhibit III, attached |

8. | Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in |
