This Second Amendment dated as of January 1, 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”), RiverSource Service Corporation (“RSC”), and | ||||
RiverSource Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) (separately and collectively referred to as “Fund Agent” as | ||||
context requires), is made to the Selling and Services Agreement and Fund Participation Agreement dated as | ||||
of December 29th, 2006, as amended on July 1, 2007, between ING Life, ING Financial, RSC, and | ||||
Distributor (the “Agreement”). Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as therein defined. | ||||
WHEREAS, the parties wish to add ING Institutional as a party to the Agreement; and | ||||
WHEREAS, the parties wish to replace RiverSource Distributors, Inc. with RiverSource Fund | ||||
Distributors, Inc. as a party to the Agreement on April 30, 2009; | ||||
WHEREAS, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to modify the Funds offered and the | ||||
payment terms. | ||||
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. | Effective April 30, 2009, by deleting all references to “RiverSource Distributors, Inc.” in | |||
the Agreement and replacing them with “RiverSource Fund Distributors, Inc.” wherever they appear in the | ||||
Agreement. | ||||
3. | 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. |
4. | Paragraphs 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 Fund 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 | ||||
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, Fund Agent agrees to pay to | ||||
ING Life or ING Institutional, as appropriate, a servicing fee, as specified in Exhibit III | ||||
(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. The parties agree that all or a portion of such servicing fee may be derived from | ||||
a Fund’s 12b-1 plan. Fund Agent will make such payments to ING Life or ING | ||||
Institutional within thirty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Upon | ||||
reasonable request, Fund Agent shall provide 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 Fund Agent to offset other fees payable by the Plan to | ||||
ING Life or ING Institutional. | ||||
5. | 12b-1 Fees. | |||
To compensate ING Financial for its distribution of Fund Shares or shareholder | ||||
services related to Fund Shares, Fund Agent shall make quarterly payments to ING | ||||
Financial, as specified in Exhibit III (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. Fund Agent will make such payments | ||||
to ING Financial within thirty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Upon | ||||
reasonable request, Fund Agent shall provide 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 Fund Agent to offset | ||||
other fees payable by the Plan to ING Financial. | ||||
5. | The following is added as Section 12(e) to the Agreement: | |||
2 |
(e) 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 | ||

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. | ||
6. | The following replaces Section 14(d) 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 | ||
